"I'm here to find out the truth."

"the truth?"

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't understand Inoue Orihime's meaning, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"Of course, it's the truth about Soul Society."

Lin Que leisurely raised his hand and waved: "Nice to meet you all. You can call me Lin Que. I am... well, the current master of Inoue Orihime."

"Hey! What do you mean by 'master'?!"

Ichigo Kurosaki immediately shifted his attention: "Don't talk about Inoue like he's a pet! You... bastard!"

"Calm down first, Kurosaki."

Uryu Ishida, who was standing nearby, pressed him down: "No matter what, it's a good thing that he brought Inoue out of Hueco Mundo."

"Next, we don't need to risk going to Hueco Mundo. We just need to figure out a way to rescue Inoue from him."

"Rescue them?"

Lin Que shook his head slightly: "It's a pity, but Inoue Orihime is now following me voluntarily."

"Stop joking!"

Kurosaki Ichigo glared at Lin Que angrily: "It was you bastards who kidnapped Inoue, and you still have the nerve to say that!"

"I'm telling the truth. You'll see whether you believe me or not."

Lin Que smiled and looked at Urahara Kisuke not far away: "Interested in exchanging ideas?"

"What do you mean?"

Kisuke Urahara narrowed his eyes: "Did you just mention the truth about Soul Society?"

"Yes."

Lin Que patted Inoue Orihime on the shoulder: "I told her that Soul Society eats people, but she didn't believe me."

"Since that's the case, I have no choice but to bring her out to see the world."

"As the former captain of the 12th Division of the Gotei 13 and the director of the Technology Development Bureau, I think you should know about these things."

"...I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Kisuke Urahara opened his folding fan and waved it, a nonchalant smile on his face: "The Soul Society is just an inanimate object, how could it eat people?"

"If I had to say, those two Hollows next to you are more likely to eat people."

"Changing the subject is not a good habit."

Lin Que's voice came from the side: "If possible, I hope you can cooperate a little, Kisuke Urahara."

Urahara Kisuke: "!"

When did you come?

A question flashed through my mind, and the next second a deadly threat rushed towards me.

Following his body's instincts, Kisuke Urahara decisively raised the cane in his hand.

"Wake up, Beniji!"

What was originally just an ordinary cane instantly transformed into the shape of a Zanpakuto.

A crimson light flashed at the tip of the blade as it stabbed straight toward Lin Que beside him.

But before the blade could make contact with Lin Que, a finger appeared in its path and blocked it.

Are you sure you want to fight me?

Lin Que calmly asked, "I'm just here to ask a question."

"If you cooperate with me, this battle can naturally be avoided."

"I'm very curious, who exactly are you?"

A bead of sweat trickled down Kisuke Urahara's forehead: "I should have heard of someone as strong as you."

"That's not something you should know."

Lin Que slightly bent the finger that was blocking Hong Ji, and then flicked it towards the blade.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Hong Ji instantly shattered into more than a dozen pieces, scattering all over the ground.

"Mr. Urahara!"

A surge of spiritual pressure suddenly rose, and seeing the usually unfathomable Kisuke Urahara at a disadvantage, Ichigo Kurosaki instantly entered his Bankai state and rushed over.

Did I tell you to move?

Lin Que glanced at him, and a terrifying aura rushed towards him like a tidal wave.

boom--!

Kurosaki Ichigo, who had just launched his charge, was instantly overwhelmed by the force of the attack and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Upon seeing this, Ishida Uryu and Chad Yasutora, who had originally intended to act together, froze on the spot.

What happened?

How come our own troops, who led the charge, were wiped out so quickly?

"Unrelated individuals have been cleared out."

Lin Que turned his gaze away from Ichigo Kurosaki and looked at Kisuke Urahara in front of him again: "Let's continue with our previous topic."

"...Does that kind of thing really matter?"

· ········· ·······

Suppressing his shock for the moment, Kisuke Urahara asked in as calm a tone as possible.

"The fact that Soul Society eats people is just a trivial matter to you, so why did you have to tell Inoue Orihime?"

"Knowing too much about some things may not be a good thing for her."

"But for me, hiding the truth is far more cruel."

Hearing Kisuke Urahara's almost admitting words, Orihime Inoue, who was not far away, trembled slightly.

"Mr. Urahara, if an ordinary soul like my brother goes to Soul Society, can it really live a good life like Kurosaki and the others say?"

"...For ordinary souls, there are far too many situations they encounter in the Soul Society."

.... ......... 0

Kisuke Urahara glanced at Harribel and Nel, who hadn't moved an inch, and sighed silently.

"If you want to know more comprehensively, it's best to go to the Seireitei's Technology Development Bureau."

"That's the place that monitors the entire Soul Society, and it records all sorts of information on a daily basis."

"We have also conducted analysis and research on the living conditions of ordinary souls in the Soul Society."

"Do you intend to lead us to Seireitei?"

Lin Que shook his head slightly: "The idea is good, but you may not understand what your actions represent."

Kisuke Urahara felt a sense of foreboding: "What does this mean?"

“If you tell the truth here, then our exploration will naturally only end in this world.”

Lin Que revealed a mocking smile: "But if you lead us to the Seireitei, then it won't just be about exploring the truth of Soul Society anymore."

"If things get out of hand, it might even change the master of the entire Soul Society."

"Oh? That's really scary~"

A voice came from not far away: "Since it will cause such troublesome consequences, we might as well leave you here."

Lin Que looked at Hirako Shinji and the others who appeared not far away: "Just you guys?"

"And us."

Two thuds sounded as Yoruichi Shihouin and Isshin Kurosaki appeared on either side of Kisuke Urahara.

...

ECHO is off.

Chapter 116 Look, Aizen even gave me a marble to play with! ( )

"Urahara, what's going on?"

Glancing at Ichigo Kurosaki, who was unconscious not far away, Isshin Kurosaki asked.

"How come my good-for-nothing son was beaten down so quickly?"

From the moment Harribel's spiritual pressure appeared until they arrived and gathered, it took less than a minute.

During this process, Kurosaki Isshin only sensed the spiritual pressure of Urahara Kisuke and Kurosaki Ichigo once each, and did not sense any third party's spiritual pressure.

He initially thought the two sides were still in a standoff, but it seems things are not quite as he expected.

If they had arrived any later, Kisuke Urahara might not have survived.
