Infinite: Start as a ghost

"Could I use the Gates of Hell?" Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Jiu's mind.

Of course, it's just an idea; he currently doesn't have the ability to take any action.

Rukia also realized because of this incident that Ichigo Kurosaki could not transform into a Shinigami at any time, so she took some time to go and help Kisuke Urahara resolve this problem.

Jiang Jiu, who was secretly following Rukia, said with a look of delight: "You finally agreed to go! I've been waiting for you to death!"

A week of waiting was really tough.

After Rukia bought the Soul-Giving Pill and left, Jiang Jiu walked step by step toward Urahara Store.

Tsumugi Ame and Hanakari Jinta were cleaning the store when they saw Jiang Jiu arrive, and immediately greeted her with smiles.

"Guest, is there anything you need?"

Seeing Hana-Kari Jinta's forced smile, Jiang Jiu found it amusing.

"Is your store manager here?"

"Yes, I'll go call him over." Jinta, who didn't want to clean, immediately dropped the broom and went to find Kisuke Urahara.

A short while later, Kisuke Urahara was dragged out by Jinta.

"Ah, my apologies, please forgive my rudeness, sir." Urahara Kisuke opened his fan, covered his mouth, and chuckled lightly. "Is there anything you need, sir?"

"Do you have any information about the Fullbring Technique?" Jiang Jiu asked bluntly. "Or rather, do you know the location of Ginjo Kūgo?"

Kisuke Urahara's face immediately turned cold: "This guest, I don't think I know you. May I ask who you are?"

Jiang Jiu revealed slightly sharp teeth: "I have no identity."

Chapter 4: The First Clash with Urahara

Kisuke Urahara was not surprised by Jiang Jiu's actions, believing that it was Jiang Jiu's way of saying that she did not want to reveal her identity.

“In that case, I’m afraid I can’t fulfill your request.” Kisuke Urahara said flippantly, fanning himself with his fan. “Please understand that we cannot casually reveal such important information to someone whose identity is unknown.”

Jiang Jiu chuckled. She had expected this all along, so it would be a miracle if she agreed so readily.

"You're businessmen, right? How about we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal do you want to make?" Kisuke Urahara said with a smile, "If it's business, I'd be happy to."

"Of course, don't make me do a losing business."

Jiang Jiu said, "Do you have knives in your shop? Could I borrow one?"

"Hey, are you here to do business?" Shen Tai looked at Jiang Jiu with displeasure. "If you feel it's chaotic, I'll kick you out."

"Well, well, don't rush, little Jinta, go and get the knife." Urahara Kisuke said to Jiang Jiu with a smile, "Our shop may be small, but we sell almost everything, we have everything."

Before long, Ling Tiezhai appeared before everyone, holding a samurai sword in both hands, followed by Jin Tai, who looked unconvinced.

"I told you not to move, not to move, let me take it." Wo Ling Tiezhai scolded as he presented the samurai sword with both hands: "I'm sorry, guest, for keeping you waiting."

Jiang Jiu took the knife: "I don't want a new knife, I just want to borrow it."

Wo Ling Tiezhai: "Eh..."

Kisuke Urahara laughed heartily: "Tessai-kun, I'll trouble you to go again."

Jiang returned the knife to him and waited for a while.

"Guest, this time you've found the right one." Not long after, Wo Ling Tiezhai appeared again with a knife.

Jiang Jiu nodded and drew his katana.

Amidst the varied expressions on everyone's faces, he severed his own head.

Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Wake were somewhat surprised, while Jinta Hanakari's eyes almost popped out of his head.

"My God, is this person crazy? Why would they come to our store to commit suicide?"

Kisuke Urahara waved his hand, signaling Jinta to stop talking.

Sure enough, in everyone's eyes, a new head grew back on Jiang Jiu's empty neck.

Hanakari Jinta was even more shocked, while Urahara Kisuke and Tetsuzai Wake showed expressions of "I knew it".

Jiang returned the knife to Tiezhai and handed his severed head to Urahara.

“I think you should be interested in this. The flesh and blood of this head are still alive. It’s worth studying.”

“Sir, this puts me in a difficult position.” Kisuke Urahara took the head, his face showing reluctance. “Although I am interested, it doesn’t mean I’m willing to make this deal with you.”

Then, a sly smile appeared on Urahara's face: "Unless you tell me again why you don't release spiritual pressure when you use your ability."

Jiang Jiu smiled and shook his head: "It's just a piece of news. My head is worth more than that piece of news."

Urahara fanned himself vigorously with his fan a few times: "That's not how it works. Although it has great research value, it also has a lot of informational value, at least for you, isn't it?"

"Pah, you swindler." Jiang Jiu cursed inwardly. "I can't tell you about my abilities, but I can tell you something else in return, and you'll have to do me a favor."

“Hmm…” Urahara thought for a moment: “Please state your conditions first, guest.”

"I need to know how to increase spiritual pressure," Jiang Jiu stated his most fundamental purpose.

“I see,” Urahara said with a smile. “No wonder the guest said he had no status.”

Jiang Jiu remained silent, awaiting Urahara's answer.

"As for a way to quickly increase spiritual pressure," Urahara said cryptically, "there is one, but it carries a bit of risk."

"What risks?" Jiang Jiu asked.

“I don’t know,” Urahara said. “I’m trying to make a tool that can infuse others with spiritual pressure, and I’ve named it the Spirit Blade.”

"The spirit blade is still in the experimental stage, and it's completely unpredictable what might happen."

Jiang Jiu pondered carefully, deciding whether or not he should take the gamble.

"Never mind all that, I'll give it my all. This is the only way to quickly increase my spiritual pressure right now," Jiang Jiu thought to himself.

“Deal. I’ll tell you what I know,” Jiang Jiu said. “Be careful of the Quincy two years from now.”

"Queens?" This statement clearly surprised him. Even the intelligent Urahara didn't know why Jiang Jiu would say such a thing.

“Yes, be careful of the Quincy,” Jiang Jiu said. “You should think carefully about this sentence and not ignore it.”

Kisuke Urahara, lacking any source of information, was completely baffled by this statement.

"How can you guarantee the accuracy of this information?" he asked.

"Believe it or not, I'm just telling you some things I know," Jiang Jiu said. "Don't ask me where the information comes from, and don't ask me about the specifics. I won't tell you."

Although these words came from someone with almost no spiritual pressure, Kisuke Urahara dared not ignore them.

The fact that he could find his shop, cut off his own head and recover, and utter the words "Queens" all indicate that these things are unusual.

Chapter 5: Each Person's Conclusion

“Now that you’ve told me the news, I won’t delay any longer.” Kisuke Urahara stood up and said, “Please follow me, guest.”

Jiang Jiu followed him without any worries.

Although he was wary of Kisuke Urahara, who was the intellectual ceiling in the Bleach world, he was actually not that threatening.

As long as he doesn't show hostility towards the human world or the Soul Society, Kisuke Urahara will at most take various defensive measures and won't take any initiative to attack him.

This is why Jiang Jiu, despite being very wary of him, still sought him out.

Kisuke Urahara led him to the basement, where Jiang Jiu looked around with great interest.

Basement—those three words are so familiar.

He couldn't help but think back to the days he lived with Tamayo.

The basement in front of me was much larger and more organized than the one I had messed around with in Demon Slayer.

He led Jiang Jiu to one of the rooms, where some simple equipment was placed.

Then he saw a samurai sword emitting a pale blue light stuck in a spherical jar.

"This is the Spirit Blade?"

“Yes, this is it,” Kisuke Urahara said. “I will pierce your chest with my spirit sword. I hope you won’t mind.”

"I understand." Jiang Jiu had no objections; he also knew how to use the spirit blade.

Kisuke Urahara stepped forward, took the knife, and with a somewhat solemn expression, plunged it into Jiang Jiu's chest.

A strange power suddenly surged into Jiang Jiu's body, but most of the power only circulated within him for one cycle before disappearing without a trace.

"Is this spiritual power? Is this spiritual pressure?" Jiang Jiu's heart was filled with a feeling called "wonderful".

Kisuke Urahara carefully observed the process of the spirit sword injecting spiritual pressure into Jiang Jiu, using this as a basis for future adjustments.

After a long while, the spiritual pressure was fully injected, and Jiang Jiu felt refreshed.

"I have a question," Jiang Jiu said. "Approximately what level of spiritual pressure do I currently possess?"

Urahara smiled and said, "Guest, I need you to release your spiritual pressure to make a judgment."

Jiang Jiu silently sensed it, and then tried to release his spiritual pressure.

“Hmm…” Urahara said, “This level of spiritual pressure is probably at the level of the fourth or third seat.”

"I don't know if you understand what I'm saying, or if you need me to explain it to you?"

Jiang Jiu withdrew her spiritual pressure and shook her head: "No need, I understand."

He was actually quite shocked. Such immense spiritual pressure couldn't even be reached by a vice-captain.

This power, if placed in the world of Demon Slayer, could at least crush three Muzan, but here it can only manage to get the third or fourth seat?

How many Muzan could a vice-captain level officer crush?

What about the captain level?

Jiang Jiu found it hard to believe. Although he had anticipated that the combat power of the Bleach world far exceeded that of the Demon Slayer world, the gap was still beyond his imagination.

"Can you tell me the information about Fullbring?" Jiang Jiu asked Urahara for the terms of the deal without showing any expression.

Urahara Kisuke was very cunning. Jiang Jiu didn't tell him the details about the Quincy, and he didn't reveal the specifics either, only giving Jiang Jiu an address.
