Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

She turned her head slightly to avoid Aozaki Mayuki's gaze, while unconsciously reaching out to touch the mask on her face, revealing a trace of loneliness and sorrow.

Aozaki Mayuki turned her gaze to what was behind her.

Sun Sun, Apache, and Mila Rhodes tiptoed out of the room, then furtively peeked their heads back in through the door frame.

Halibel paused for a moment, trying to compose herself, and asked softly:

"Lady Shingetsu, you've been asleep for so long this time, are you sure your body is alright?"

Her eyes revealed a sense of worry.

Prolonged sleep is not a good thing in this dangerous Hueco Mundo.

Aozaki Mayuki replied with a smile:

"I feel much better after seeing you, Haribel."

However, before she could finish speaking, Halibel quickly lowered her head—

"Lord Shingetsu, you've finally woken up!"

Almost simultaneously, half of a rather handsome face suddenly appeared from the side, and a snow-white hand gently landed on Aozaki Mayuki's forehead.

He said calmly:

"His body temperature has gradually returned to normal, and he seems to be out of danger. Not only that, his spiritual pressure is steadily rising, and his spirit body is also..."

Aozaki Mayuki and Halibel looked helplessly at Ulquiorra, who was earnestly reporting the data.

"That... Ulquiorra?"

Finally, Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but speak up, interrupting Ulquiorra's endless report.

Ulquiorra paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure, calmly bringing his face close to Aozaki Mayuki's, and asked calmly:

"What's wrong, Lady Shingetsu? Are you feeling unwell?"

Facing his expressionless face, Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Does this handsome man, who keeps referring to himself as "sir," really care about his own condition?

Perhaps he was simply examining his own body from a purely rational perspective.

Ulquiorra continued:

"If you feel any discomfort, please let me know."

"I've called Lori and Menori over. I'm only just starting to get used to the equipment here, so I might not be very familiar with it yet..."

Aozaki Mayuki stated bluntly:

"Could you please leave first? I'd like to be alone with Haribel!"

"...But Lady Shingetsu said this is a necessary procedure. Have I disturbed you?"

Ulquiorra's face, which was usually as expressionless as a sculpture, surprisingly showed a hint of humanity.

He frowned slightly, his eyes showing a hint of doubt and confusion, as if he was questioning whether he was causing trouble for others.

After thinking for a long time, he sighed.

It seems truly incomprehensible why following Aozaki Mayuki's instructions is considered an act of interference.

Seeing this, Aozaki Mayuki and Harribel were speechless.

This kid really doesn't notice the change in the atmosphere around him at all!

Despite his doubts, Ulquiorra chose to obey Aozaki Mayuki's orders.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly heard two delicate shouts behind him:

"Hey newbie, get out of the way!"

At Sun Sun's prompting, Apache and Mila Rhodes quickly came up behind Ulquiorra.

Without any hesitation, one of them grabbed one of Ulquiorra's horns and dragged the expressionless, unresisting man out of the room, face up.

Throughout the entire process, Ulquiorra remained silent.

They neither voiced any protests or pleas for mercy, nor did they struggle or resist with force.

This powerful Vastod-class semi-Broken was simply allowed to be manipulated by the two Adjuchas Broken.

He looked like a giant human sculpture, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Aozaki Mayuki looked at this guy who was so serious yet occasionally a little cute, and kept shaking his head.

However, because of this guy's meddling, the ambiguous atmosphere in the room was completely ruined!

Chapter 189 Black Winged Demon

After chatting for a while, they arrived at Aozaki Mayuki's temporary laboratory.

At this moment, the entire laboratory was filled with a solemn and respectful atmosphere.

Aozaki Mayuki and his Arrancar and Hollows were all gathered here, standing around the room.

Meanwhile, Harribel, whose status was slightly higher than the other Arrancar and who was called "comrade," sat quietly beside Aozaki Mayuki.

Aozaki Mayuki slowly stood up and then stepped towards the spiritual membrane in front of her.

Within the spiritual membrane, a figure was kneeling, its entire body tightly wrapped in bandages, yet its human outline could still be vaguely discerned.

Aozaki Mayuki raised her hand and inserted her fingers into the spiritual membrane.

In an instant, a dazzling white spiritual pressure emanated from his fingertips, and the bright white light made the onlookers around him squint.

With a sharp crack, like glass shattering, the membrane of spiritual energy covering the person suddenly burst open.

The bandages that had been wrapped around the figure shattered like fragile porcelain.

Amidst the debris and rubble, a man wearing a half-helmet is kneeling with his hands slowly hanging down.

"Welcome back, my companion, Ulquiorra!"

Aozaki Mayuki's lips curled up slightly, her face beaming with a genuine smile.

He gently extended his palm toward the man in front of him.

Ulquiorra Cifer, now a "comrade," slowly raised his head.

His eyes were somewhat dazed and empty as he stared straight at the outstretched hand of Aozaki Mayuki.

"Loli, give him the clothes."

Aozaki Mayuki chuckled and withdrew her hand, speaking softly and nonchalantly.

“Yes!” Lori quickly replied.

Upon hearing Aozaki Mayuki call her name, Lori hurriedly ran over, carrying a set of snow-white clothes in her arms.

In no time, Ulquiorra changed into new clothes and looked completely refreshed.

He had a Zanpakuto called "Black Winged Demon" hanging at his waist. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, looking handsome and dashing, a slender and aloof handsome man.

However, despite his striking appearance, he appeared quite ordinary standing next to Aozaki Mayuki.

Therefore, everyone's attention was focused more on his mask, which was the mark of the broken face.

Aozaki Mayuki carefully examined Ulquiorra, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure in his human form was almost the same as when he was a half-Arrancar, at the level of a normal second-class spiritual power, slightly lower than that of Harribel.

As for other abilities, they will need to be determined through further testing.

"You can go out now. I will personally test your strength in a moment."

"Yes, Lord Shinetsu!"

Ulquiorra nodded slightly, showing no resistance to Aozaki Mayuki's command.

Before stepping out of the laboratory, he couldn't help but glance at Halibel, who was not far away.

He knew that it would be her turn to break through the barrier next.

He recalled the scene when he became an Arrancar.

He nodded thoughtfully, as if he already understood something.

Although he didn't understand why he should avoid such matters, he still chose to obey and carry out the orders given by Aozaki Mayuki without hesitation.

"Everyone has probably witnessed the state that Ulquiorra just displayed."

"Even Vasto Lorde-class Hollows can achieve perfect Arrancar transformation."

"Aozaki Mayuki said in a low voice."

For a moment, the entire scene fell into a brief silence.

Immediately afterwards, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Sun Sun, Apache, and Mila Rhodes.

"Hribel, come to my side. Now I will conduct the Arrancar experiment for you. Once you successfully complete the Arrancar process, you will gain even greater power!"

Aozaki Mayuki's gaze slowly swept over everyone present, finally settling on Harribel, and she spoke in an encouraging and expectant tone:

“I’ve been eagerly anticipating this moment, and I’m sure you feel the same way, Haribel. Let’s witness this moment together!”

Herribel met his gaze, her eyes revealing unwavering determination, as if conveying a silent promise to him.

She then nodded vigorously, indicating that she was ready.

The women present exchanged smiles, each with their own thoughts.

Sun Sun, Apache, and Mila Rhodes sincerely hope that Halibel will continue to grow and become stronger.

Lori and Menori, on the other hand, were primarily concerned with their own safety.

Although Lori and Menori were captured as lab rats

But they had to admit that the transformation into an undead entity allowed them to enter a completely new and higher level of life.

However, along with evolution comes not only increased strength, but also enormous risks.

Because hidden within the Hueco Mundo Palace is a scientist with terrifying power and madness.

Once this mad scientist discovers the existence of the Arrancar, he will most likely personally capture them and bring them back to continue his cruel experiments.
