In Soul Society, I just want to retire

However, just as he was about to fix the light above his head, the light suddenly flickered.

Kuchiki Hibiki's scalp suddenly tingled, because at the moment the light flickered, he saw a person standing in the dark office.

No, he didn't know whether it was a human or not!

Just now, I caught a glimpse of the humanoid creature, which was about two meters tall and had a strange white mask on its head, a bit like Xu.

But if it is a human-shaped Hollow, it is very likely to be Vastod, who is a being that can rival the captain level. How could he appear here silently?

Kuchiki Hibiki hurriedly grasped the knife in his hand.

The lights above my head kept flashing.

With each flash, the position of the humanoid creature changes.

"Who is playing tricks there? This is the General Staff Headquarters!" Xiumu Xianghe shouted to give himself courage.

"Snapped!"

The lights went out completely.

The entire office was dead silent.

But at this moment, Kuchiki Xianghe felt a strong breath of danger coming towards him. Without thinking, Kuchiki Xianghe swung his sword forward, and sparks burst in the air!

With the sparks that burst out in an instant, Kuchiki Xianghe saw very clearly this time that it was indeed a humanoid creature, but this was not the most crucial point.

The most important thing is that the other party actually has a weapon in his hand!

And it turned out to be a Zanpakutō!

This is outrageous!

Could it be that the other party wasn't a Hollow, but a Death God? Was he his enemy? Was he using this opportunity to kill him?

A lot of thoughts flashed through Kuchiki Hibiki's mind in an instant. The other party had already drawn his knife, and this was definitely not a prank.

In that case, don’t blame me for being rude!

"Whisper! Muramasa!" Kuchiki Hibiki released his Zanpakuto to control the sword in the enemy's hand.

But I never expected that it would fail!

The Zanpakutō in the hands of this mysterious creature was beyond his control. What was going on? Could it be that he had entered a "closed mind" state?

Xiumu Xianghe knocked back the enemy with a single blow, took two steps back, raised his hand and released the ghost path: "The thirty-third broken path, the blue fire falls!"

A blue-white light bloomed from the palm of his hand!

The body of the mysterious creature was directly blasted out of the staff headquarters by the blue-white light, but at the same time, a big hole appeared in the wall of the staff headquarters, and a loud explosion was heard.

But almost at the same time, the fireball above exploded, and the two explosions overlapped with each other, and no one noticed the situation here at all.

With the help of the flames from the explosion of Ryujin Jakka, Kuchiki Hibiki was able to clearly see the appearance of this creature.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a human!

This thing has pitch-black skin, its feet are clearly claws of a wild beast, its fingers are slender and sharp, its right hand is directly connected to its Zanpakuto, its face is covered with half a white bone mask, and it has a single horn on its head.

"What kind of monster is this?" Kuchiki Hibiki couldn't recognize the creature in front of him.

If the other party is a Hollow, why would a Zanpakutō grow out of his palm? If the other party is a Shinigami, then what is going on with this strange appearance?

"Or... playing tricks!" Several thoughts flashed through Kuchiki Hibiki's mind, and then he rushed forward and slashed at the mask of the mysterious creature with a knife. The mysterious creature hurriedly used his Zanpakutō to resist. The moment the two knives collided, Kuchiki Hibiki suddenly stretched out his left hand, grabbed the opponent's mask, and wanted to tear it off.

It turned out that the mask was firmly attached to the person's face and was not put on at all.

In other words, the thing in front of me is really fake!

The mysterious creature let out a wild beast's roar, and its power suddenly increased, shocking Xiu Mu Xianghe back.

Kuchiki Xianghe has followed Yamabuki Ditang for such a long time that his strength is far beyond what it used to be. The knife in his hand fell like a violent storm, and sparks flew in the night sky.

After a brief confrontation, Kuchiki Xianghe finally felt relieved. Although the monster in front of him looked weird, its actual strength was not as strong as he had imagined.

If you give your all, you can firmly suppress the opponent.

"No matter what kind of creature you are, I'll capture you and show you to the General Staff!" Kuchiki Xianghe turned the blade in his hand and instantly cut off one of the monster's arms.

This was definitely a serious injury for the God of Death, but after the monster's arm was cut off, a ball of black substance spurted out of its body and condensed into an arm again in the blink of an eye.

"Super speed regeneration?"

Xiumu Xianghe frowned, this was going to be a big trouble.

For the Hollows that can regenerate at super-speed, unless their heads are cut off or their internal organs are destroyed, they will regenerate at an extremely fast speed regardless of whether their limbs are cut off or their eyeballs are dug out.

"If that's the case, there's nothing we can do!" Xiumu Xianghe calmed down and could only kill the monster in front of him first, and then make other plans.

The mysterious creature seemed to have no fear. Even though it knew it could not defeat the opponent, it still rushed forward desperately, moving vigorously and risking its life!

But because of this, he had more and more flaws, and finally Kuchiki Xianghe seized one of his flaws and nailed him to the ground with a knife.

Kuchiki Hibiki reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although his Zanpakuto was very powerful and could control other people's Zanpakuto, it was almost useless against Hollows. If his Zanpakuto was of pure attack attribute, perhaps this battle would be easier.

"Can you speak? If you can, tell me why you are like this? Where did the Zanpakuto in your hand come from?" asked Kuchiki Hibiki.

The mysterious creature's eyes were dull, and suddenly his body began to swell.

Kuchiki Hibiki realized that something was wrong and immediately retreated!

"boom!!!"

The next second, the mysterious creature exploded!

The huge shock wave generated shattered all the glass in the staff headquarters!

Kuchiki Hibiki was almost affected as well.

It took him a long time to get up from the ground, fear in his eyes.

What the hell is this thing? It's fearless and will self-destruct if captured alive!

I will report this matter to my Chief of Staff and ask him to make the decision.

Chapter 194: The Undercurrent of Soul Society

Aizen stood on a high place and watched the scene in front of him.

He has already obtained the data he should have.

"Sure enough, the upper limit of the Arrancar transformed by Killian is still too low. It is vulnerable to the elite vice-captain! Next, I will try to transform a more advanced Arrancar." Aizen looked at Kuchiki Hibiki's back with a smile, and then led him into the darkness.

There were so many people at the celebration that it took a lot of effort for Xiumu Xianghe to find Yamabuki Detang.

At this time, Yamabuki Ditang was holding a skewer of grilled squid in his hand.

"Xianghe? Why are you here? Do you want to eat something together? I'll treat you!" Shanbuki Ditang said with a smile.

Kuchiki Hibiki grabbed his hand anxiously and said, "There's no time to eat now. Come back to the General Staff Headquarters quickly. Something big has happened."

Yamabuki Ditang frowned slightly. What big thing could happen?

But seeing Kuchiki Xianghe's anxious look, he followed him back to the staff headquarters.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Half of the general staff headquarters had been reduced to ruins, with all kinds of documents flying all over the sky and broken glass on the ground. Shanbuki Ditang could only fit three steamed buns in his mouth.

"Kuchiki, don't tell me that you blew up the General Staff Headquarters because you were dissatisfied with overtime!" Yamabuki Ditang looked at Kuchiki Xianghe with horror.

"If it wasn't me, how could I do such a thing? I was attacked while working overtime tonight! It was a creature I didn't know. It wore a Hollow mask but held a Shinigami's Zanpakutō. It was very powerful. Ordinary Shinigami were no match for it! Even the chief officer or the vice-captain could suffer if they were not prepared! We two had a fight here, so this happened!" Kuchiki Hibiki roughly recounted what happened tonight.

The expression on Yamabuki Ditang's face became very solemn.

After hearing Kuchiki Hibiki's description, Yamabuki Detang already knew what he had encountered.

Isn't a Hollow holding a Zanpakutō an Arrancar?

This kid Aizen is developing so fast! He has already started researching Arrancar!

Seeing Yamabuki Detang's solemn expression, Kuchiki Hibiki waited carefully for an answer beside him.

"Xianghe, what happened tonight must be kept secret. No one else can know about it except you and me. As for the appearance of the General Staff Headquarters... just say it was a gas explosion." Yamabuki Ditang said.

"But……"

"It's okay. If anyone asks you, just push the blame on me." Yamabuki Ditang's face became very serious.

Kuchiki Xianghe has been following Yamabuki Ditang for such a long time that he knows that many things in this world are top secret. The more you know, the faster you die. Sometimes it is better to be a little confused.

"I understand, Chief of Staff. There was an accidental gas explosion tonight, causing huge losses. Since I was the last one to leave the General Staff, I will take this responsibility." Kuchiki Xianghe not only learned to be confused, but also learned to take the blame.

Yamabuki Detang looked up at the moon in the sky and said, "Aizen, how far can you develop?"

Don't let me down!

As long as you don't make too much trouble, I can turn a blind eye.

"Go back. Remember, don't tell anyone what happened tonight." Yamabuki Ditang reminded again.

Although Kuchiki Hibiki didn't know what exactly happened, he was sure that someone who couldn't be investigated was involved.

Just pretend that this thing never happened.

When Yamabuki Detang turned around, he found that Unohana had been standing there for some time. Looking at the miserable situation in the General Staff Headquarters, Unohana frowned slightly.

"What's going on? How did it become like this?" asked Unohana.

Yamabuki Ditang's solemn expression immediately turned into a wry smile: "This kid forgot to turn off the gas when he left, and it exploded. It's okay, but we'll have to pay extra for the renovation!"

The two have been married for so many years, and Unohana could tell at a glance that her husband was lying, but she did not expose him. Since Yamabuki Detang lied to her, he must have his reasons. There are some things that you just have to pretend not to know.

"It's good that no one was hurt. Let's go home! Xianghe, you should go home soon too." Unohana said with a smile.

In this way, both parties returned to their own homes.

Unohana and Yamabuki Detang were walking on their way home, and neither of them spoke first.

"Well...you go back first. I'm a little hungry. I'm going to buy some food." Yamabuki Ditang suddenly said.

He didn't tell Unohana mainly because he didn't want to involve her. To put it simply, this matter was the transformation of a Hollow into a Shinigami.

But if you go deeper, it will involve the Palace of the Spirit King.

Aizen's ultimate goal is to overthrow the Soul King's rule and establish a new order.

From today's perspective, he is more like a revolutionary.

Yhwach is more of a destroyer.

And everyone else is old-school.

Kisuke Urahara, who is known as the pinnacle of intelligence, and Ichibei Hyoshube, who has always been above the heavens and the earth and looked down upon the common people.

No one knows what the world will be like if the Spirit King is gone, and no one dares to gamble on the unknown outcome.

Therefore, everyone is trying their best to protect the Spirit King.

If this Spirit King dies, a new Spirit King will be created.

In short, as long as we ensure that there are no major changes in the world, it will be fine.

At the same time, this is also the wish of the Spirit King.

No matter how evil the God of Death below does, no matter how corrupt these nobles are, the world is still this world, and as long as the world can function normally, there is no problem.

If the world of the God of Death is compared to a computer, the Three Realms are the hardware, the Spirit King is the software, and the monk is the programmer. What the monk has to ensure is that the computer program does not crash and that all the software in the computer can run normally.

Aizen is like a super AI that wants to reboot the system and reshape the software.

Yhwach is a destroyer with a sledgehammer. What hardware? What software? What programmer?

What can withstand my hammer?

Yamabuki Ditang looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "But complacency will eventually lead to obsolescence. Even a real computer has software that's constantly being updated, but this software has been running for a million years and is riddled with holes and vulnerabilities. All sorts of Trojans and botnets are running rampant in it. If the software isn't updated... will it even last another million years?"

Aizen is the new system prepared by Yamabuki Detang.

Of course, it is still under programming. Even Yamabuki Detang himself doesn’t know how far Aizen can go in the end. It all depends on his own ability.

After leaving Unohana's sight, Yamabuki Detang opened the black chamber and headed for Hueco Mundo.

He wanted to see what the Hueco Mundo had become like now.
