I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

Unable to tolerate the status quo, Momotsuki Shihouin possessed the body of the previous head of the family one night after she came of age.

He stole his Bankai "Bone-Eating Demon Armor" and used violence to subdue others, becoming the head of the family himself.

However, this action was not for power, but because she needed the Shihouin family's intelligence network to gather strong people for her to devour. In less than ten years, she had gathered four Bankai and eighteen Shikai, becoming an opponent that even the old man of the mountain could not easily defeat.

As for the reasons for becoming stronger...

In short: Kill! ...

She plans to destroy the world and burn this twisted Soul Society to ashes!

In a physical sense, being burned to ashes means that no one, good or bad, old or young, or even a dog on the street, can escape death.

And then... that's how things turned out.

To be honest, Shihōin Hyakugetsu had even prepared a plan to deal with the old man of the mountain, namely, "to fuse with the Suzumaki no Hoko and use that thing to enhance her power to deal with the Zankata no Tachi". Unfortunately, before she could use it, the monk smeared it on her face, so even if she had great skills, she couldn't use them.

After seeing all this, her resentment towards Squad Zero became much more understandable.

After all, the Zero Division's job is to "protect the Soul King," yet they stood by and watched as their ancestor, Tsuna, committed such a crime and let him go unpunished. They truly deserve to die.

After being arrested, because he had merged with the Soul King's torrent, the 46th Chamber could not be sure what unknowable consequences would occur if Shihouin Hyakugetsu were killed, so they threw him into the Abyss, where he remained until recently.

As an aside—obsessive people are indeed unpopular everywhere. After Shihouin Hyakugetsu went to prison, even her fellow inmates in the Infernal Affairs were reluctant to chat with her... In a way, she was quite pitiful.

As the film ended, Mima sat speechlessly in the audience. After pondering for a long time, she finally sighed and looked up at the sky.

What's wrong...?

Even the victim, Soul King, didn't intend to destroy Soul Society. Don't you think it's unnecessary for you to overstep your bounds and do this?

I thought it was some big trouble, but it turns out it's just this...

Just as he was getting bored and preparing to quit the historical exploration mode, a light screen suddenly popped up in front of Mi Zhen's eyes.

[Limited-time task (completed)]

The truth behind Shihōin Hyōgetsu's acceptance of the Spirit King's power has been uncovered.

[Mission Reward: Rabbit Talisman (Uncharged, Spirit Transformation Completed) has been issued. Please check your account.]

Mizhen blinked and casually tapped the screen twice.

After selecting the "Retrieve Rewards" option, he felt a weight in his hand, and a palm-sized, thick, octagonal stone talisman appeared in his palm, with a pinkish-purple rabbit engraved on it.

The moment Mi Zhen got his hands on it, he felt a powerful surge of spiritual energy flow into his body, refreshing his senses and making his whole body feel light.

It's like... being able to cross a distance of tens of meters in one step.

He stood up and tentatively took a step.

In the next instant, he suddenly transformed into a blur, circling the movie theater more than four times in less than a second without any deliberate acceleration.

It covered a distance of about 500 meters... which translates to speed close to Mach 2.

He had a feeling that if he really ran at full speed, he could easily reach several times that speed, and that was still in an "uncharged" state. If he were to "fully charge" his speed, it would probably be several levels higher!

That's probably... time travel!

Mima stopped.

Looking at the talisman he was holding in his hand, I couldn't help but gasp.

Wow, that's incredible!

From now on, at least in terms of absolute speed, I can now be compared to Yoruichi!

..........................................

Meanwhile, inside Seireitei.

After instructing his subordinates to deliver the divine sword to the Tsunayo family, Rokuki Shihouin welcomed a guest.

"This is truly a rare guest."

Sitting in the main seat of the hall, Shihouin Rokuki waved to his subordinates, "Quickly serve tea to the vice-captain of the Sparrow Club."

"Then thank you very much." Chojiro stroked his beard and said solemnly, "It has been a long time since I last saw Lord Rokuki. Today, I have come with Lord Genryusai's imperial decree, so we should catch up properly."

“The vice-captain of the Sparrow Division is right… he is right…”

Rokuki Shihōin gave an awkward smile, but his eyes secretly darkened.

When news came that his men, sent to kidnap Watanabe Yama, had disappeared, he guessed that someone would definitely come to visit him.

But to everyone's surprise, Yamamoto Genryusai sent his vice-captain directly.

This is a warning that couldn't be clearer.

For the heads of noble families, who doesn't know about Chojiro Sasaki's glorious past?

Faced with the only Zanpakuto in Soul Society capable of manipulating celestial phenomena, unless they completely break off relations, the Shihouin family, having lost Yoruichi Shihouin, wouldn't even have the strength to fight back.

However, Chojiro Sasakibe did not issue a direct warning, but instead acted as if he wanted to chat with someone casually.

Chapter 107: Yoruichi Brand Bait, Specifically for Catching Soi Fon

In other words, Yamamoto Genryusai was using this form to warn the Shihōin family, "I can pretend nothing happened, but if I see you doing anything again from now on, I won't be polite."

After exchanging a few words, Rokuki Shihōin casually made up an excuse and retreated to the second hall, meeting Chojirō Sasaki's meaningful gaze.

"Bring the whistles back from outside."

After finding a member of the Covert Force, Rokuki Shihouin said with a gloomy expression, "Since the Divine Sword has already been given away, we don't need to worry about it. We'll also pretend that the 'backup plan' in Honebami doesn't exist—we've never kept those things, understand?"

The covert operations member asked in astonishment, "But..."

"No buts." Rokuki Shihouin glanced resentfully in the direction of the main hall and said, "Now that we've been discovered, we should stop. If the Tsunayoshi family wants to die, let them die on their own!"

That's how it is when you're out in the world; while you treat others like fair-weather friends, you also have to be wary of others treating you the same way.

While the Shihouin family decisively withdrew, events were unfolding elsewhere.

The captains who went out to explore are almost at their destination. Inside the barrier, Yama has just exited the historical journey, and Aizen has also completed the material collection for the Soul King's Flow. Everyone is very satisfied. Only the world where the Tsuna-Yashiro family will be injured is about to be achieved.

Meanwhile, Yama, who was moving around in the Seireitei, strolled over to the Fourth Division barracks. After greeting Unohana, he found Soi Fon lying on the hospital bed.

"Yo--"

Ignoring the "No Entry" sign on the door, Mima poked her head into the ward and saw Soi Fon lying on the bed by the window.

She had her eyes closed, her expression full of worry, as if she had been thinking about a troublesome problem for a long time, to the point that she even had two barely noticeable dark circles under her eyes.

However, judging from her spiritual pressure, her injuries have fully healed, and her current position here is likely just to take advantage of the bed.

"I said I'm not happy..." Soi Fon clicked her tongue impatiently, then caught a glimpse of Mima's face out of the corner of her eye, and her expression immediately became... even more alert.

"Watanabe... what are you doing here?"

"What else can we do? Visit the wounded, of course." Mi Zhen shrugged. "Judging from your tone, you seem to think I'm some kind of wild schemer from who-knows-where? Well, let me clarify that for you."

“Hmph… an honest guy wouldn’t say…” Soi Fon glanced at Mima with a complicated expression, then turned her head away and said, “that kind of talk.”

“It’s certainly not pleasant to hear, but it’s all the truth.” Mima shrugged and said, “Since you’re still lying here after your injuries have healed, it means you’ve at least listened to what I said… well, a little?”

Soi Fon frowned, wanting to refute but momentarily speechless. After a few seconds of silence, she casually offered an excuse: "I just... don't know how to deal with those elders."

"Alright, alright, whatever you say." Mima chuckled dismissively. "If I remember correctly, the Covert Operations Department also requires courses on camouflage. How did you even graduate?"

Mima admitted that she was indeed a bit sarcastic at that moment.

But there was no other way. Soi Fon seemed a bit silly, so for the sake of Urahara and Yoruichi's friendship, he had to find a way to prevent the girl from being tricked into taking the bullet by the Shihouin family.

After thinking for a while, Mizhen came up with a brilliant idea.

"If you're interested, I'll take you to see some fun things."

Soi Fon blinked in confusion: "Huh?"

"Coming or not?"

Mima smiled and gave her a strong dose of advice: "You won't suffer any losses... Let me put it this way, if this operation goes smoothly, you might be able to meet your Lord Yoruichi."

"Um?!"

Soi Fon jumped out of bed on the spot, excitedly grabbing Mima's shoulders and shaking him: "What did you say?!"

"Don't shout so loudly."

Mima scratched his cheek and then whispered, "I'm planning an operation. If you're interested, you can participate—I'll be frank with you, after it's done, I'll take you to see your Lord Yoruichi!"

"..."

The overwhelming impact clearly caused Soi Fon to fall into a brief state of shock.

She glanced around frantically, then swallowed hard and blurted out, "What are you talking about...?"

That's Ichigo Kurosaki's line, don't just steal it and use it!

“Think about it carefully.” Mima sighed. “How could I possibly know nothing about the last Gotei 13 member who had contact with Urahara Kisuke?”

“You…” Soi Fon stared at him, speechless. “You actually…”

"There's not much time for you to be surprised," Mima shrugged. "Are you coming or not? Just one word."

—Compared to Yoruichi, Soi Fon is indeed a bit naive... well, a lot.

But she was, after all, the future captain of the Second Division and the commander of the Onmitsukido Corps, making her an invaluable teammate.

If we don't take advantage of her confusion and tie her to the ship of war, it will be very difficult to do so later.

Soi Fon's thought process may be straightforward, but her reactions are quick.

After thinking for less than five seconds, she immediately nodded seriously: "I'll participate!"

"Then let's not talk for now. Let's leave the Fourth Division barracks and go get something—we should return before we're discovered."

Mima pressed her index finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, and Soi Fon immediately nodded, straightened her clothes, and walked away silently, displaying her superb stealth and mobility.

The two planned to leave through the deserted courtyard outside the window.

But the first step was met with an obstacle.

The moment Mima poked his head out the window, he swallowed hard. A gentle woman wearing a captain's haori and with a large braid in front of her stood by the bed, giving them a soft smile.

"Are you two heading out?"
