Infinite: Start as a ghost

After Koga left, Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes gleamed with a mysterious light: "This is really troublesome. I didn't expect to run into these Fullbringers here. How should I deal with them in the future?"

“Let’s just ignore it,” Hirako Shinji said. “If they don’t cause any trouble, I suggest we avoid creating more problems for Soul Society.”

“That’s true,” Kyoraku Shunsui said. “Let’s ignore them for now, but our lead has gone cold again, Mako.”

"Could it be that you're overthinking it?" Hirako Shinji said. "We've re-investigated the location of the incident, and there's nothing suspicious. Perhaps you're just imagining things."

Kyoraku Shunsui remained silent for a while, then sighed, "Perhaps so. There are no particular clues anywhere, but I always feel that things are not that simple."

“Then let’s do this,” Hirako Shinji said with a smile. “Let’s put this matter aside for now and focus on the present. We can investigate it again if we make any new discoveries later.”

"It seems that's the only way," Kyoraku Shunsui said. "Then, I'll head back to Soul Society."

Hirako Shinji laughed and said, "Don't tell the Captain-Commander about our business."

"Don't worry, I know." Kyoraku Shunsui got up and left them.

"Fullbringers?" Before returning to Soul Society, Kyoraku Shunsui muttered, "I hope they don't cause any trouble. They're a real headache, and the Visoreds too."

On the other side, at the new valley base.

"Hahaha, I've finally mastered Bankai!" Kibune Risa laughed wildly, his laughter incredibly arrogant.

"Swastika..."

"Rampage and destruction, Twin Berserker Blades Gale..."

Just two days after leaving the old base, Kibune Riya mastered Bankai.

"Well done, Kifune. Keep up the good work and don't slack off." Jiang Jiu laughed. "I really don't know if it's fate, but the Rock Breathing I taught you and your Bankai are a perfect match."

“Is that so?” Kibune asked.

“Yes,” Jiang Jiu said with a smile, “I’ll borrow your Zanpakuto for a moment.”

After the Zanpakuto was revealed, Jiang Jiu said, "Look, the Breath of the Rock was originally a technique developed by combining chains with heavy weapons."

"What I taught you before was a simplified version."

"Now, I will teach you the complete original version."

Chapter 152 Calling for Your Name

“Let’s try a different approach,” Abarai said. “The concentration of spiritual particles in Soul Society is high, making it very difficult to distinguish the materialized spiritual networks.”

"However, since your spiritual qualities are similar to hers, try to use your spiritual senses to perceive her presence."

“Okay, I’ll give it a try,” Ichigo Kurosaki said.

“Although I’m not good at this kind of Kido, I will try my best to help you,” Abarai said. “Even if I know it’s impossible, I have to do it.”

"Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?" Kurosaki Ichigo said, "How can we succeed if we have a doomed mentality? We will definitely find her."

Abarai said with satisfaction, "Let's work hard together."

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Ichigo Kurosaki's shoulder, and the two of them searched for Rukia's spiritual energy as if they were one.

A short while later, the two opened their eyes at the same time.

Ichigo Kurosaki: "Found it..."

Abarai: "I never expected to be in the Technology Development Bureau!"

The two rushed to Seireitei.

Just then, the Technology Development Bureau suddenly rioted.

In an instant, rubble flew everywhere, and large sections of buildings collapsed.

Abarai drew his Zanpakuto: "Swastika: Baboon King Jabi-maru..."

Ichigo Kurosaki asked in surprise, "You remembered Bankai?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get on here." Abarai swept away the rubble, placed Kurosaki Ichigo on Zabimaru's head, and the two of them charged headlong toward the Technology Development Bureau.

Suddenly, black smoke began to appear continuously in the sky above the Seireitei.

“This is…” Kurosaki Ichigo’s eyes flashed: “It’s the black smoke from that male and female duo.”

Building debris fell continuously as black smoke appeared.

"卐解o天萨斩月" Kurosaki Ichigo also released his Zanpakuto, clearing away the ruins and rubble blocking his way.

The two went straight to the Technology Development Bureau and made a large hole in the wall.

Inside, you could see the male and female duo and Rukia.

Ichigo Kurosaki finally sees Rukia again.

Abarai asked blankly, "Is she Rukia?"

Rukia also saw the two of them, and her headache flared up again.

"Go back, Death!" the unknown woman roared at the two. "Rukia doesn't know you."

“That won’t do.” Ichigo Kurosaki said to the woman with a stern face, “Rukia is an important partner of ours.”

"No, that's not it!" the woman shouted. "Rukia is different from you all!"

"Rukia, remember quickly." Ichigo Kurosaki ignored the woman and said to her, "The you I know is a very strong Shinigami. You haven't forgotten the honor of a Shinigami, have you?"

Rukia clutched her head, her pain intensifying.

"Remember quickly! You risked your life and got injured for me when we first met. In order for me to protect my family, you were willing to commit a serious crime and pass on the power of death to me."

"You're such a strong and kind person, remember quickly, Rukia, Kuchiki Rukia!"

Rukia's headache seemed to have eased a bit, and fragmented thoughts kept flashing through her mind.

"No, no, Rukia, don't make that face!" the woman cried out. "No... don't become a Grim Reaper again!"

"Don't become a Grim Reaper again?" Rukia gently held the woman's hands. "I was... a Grim Reaper, wasn't I?"

The woman dared not lie and immediately covered her face and wept bitterly.

The man also looked sad.

Rukia looked at Ichigo Kurosaki: "Shinigami, I'll ask you one more time, what's your name?"

"Ichigo Kurosaki, my name is Ichigo Kurosaki."

"Ichigo Kurosaki?" Rukia's memory fragments appeared in large numbers in her mind.

She recalled the time when Kuchiki Byakuya came to capture them.

She thought of her companions in the real world: Uryu Ishida, Yasutora Chad, and Orihime Inoue.

She thought of her high school classmates: Tatsuki Arisawa, Mizuiro Kojima, Keigo Asano, and Chizuru Honjo.

She thought of the unscrupulous merchant Urahara and his associates.

Finally, her memory was frozen on the scene of transferring her spiritual power to Ichigo Kurosaki.

“Ichigo…” Rukia’s eyes widened, and she opened her mouth.

Seeing Rukia's expression, the woman knew that she had regained her memories.

"No...no! Ahhh!" she began to scream and cry.

Suddenly, black smoke surged around her, shoving Rukia into the man's hands.

"I won't hand her over to you! I won't give Rukia over to you! Absolutely not!" the woman shouted. "We want to become one with Rukia!"

Man: "Sister, is it really okay if Rukia disappears too?"

The woman remained silent, only staring at Kurosaki Ichigo and Abarai with a hateful gaze.

The man sighed, "I understand."

As he spoke, thick black smoke rose from beneath his feet, and he said with a faint smile, "The three of us will always be together, never to be separated."

As he spoke, he walked towards the woman, and the two plumes of black smoke merged together, completely surrounding the three of them.

"Aaaaa!" Rukia screamed in agony.

"Rukia!" Ichigo Kurosaki shouted, but didn't know what to do.

As the black smoke dissipated, Rukia's figure reappeared.

But now she has completely transformed into a different person.

Chapter 153 The Final Battle

The Rukia that reappeared before Abarai and Ichigo Kurosaki was a completely new Rukia.

With his comical hair color, lifeless eyes, and cold expression, his clothes were a combination of those of the brother and sister.

She held a sickle in her hand, and her whole being exuded an otherworldly aura, as if she had abandoned all worldly emotions and distractions.

"Disappear...all of them." Her voice changed, becoming like an electronic voice synthesized by three people.

Rukia silently removed the energy crystal from the back of her scythe and inserted it into a device whose function was unknown.

Suddenly, a familiar waxy animal appeared on a huge device behind them.

"Is this the culprit behind the cholera outbreak in Seireitei?" Abarai asked.

Ichigo Kurosaki said, "We have to find a way to stop her."

Abarai said, "You take the woman, I'll take the monster."

Ichigo Kurosaki nodded: "Leave it to me."

As he spoke, he began to fight "Rukia".

Asan-i wreaked havoc on the device, but whether it was due to Asan-i or the energy core earlier, the device began to malfunction.

The molten wax produced by the device burst through the roof and rushed into the sky above Soul Society, mingling with the clouds.

Then, the wax began to fall like rain, each "raindrop" a giant monster.

The wax figure itself, however, transforms into a monster.

The monster had the upper body of a human, but the head of an octopus.
