Bleach: Stir Up the Situation

Through Yhwach, the Knights of the Star Cross identified their biggest enemies in the future.

At the same time, Seireitei entered the night like a beast that finally got a breather and could lick its own wounds, ushering in relative peace.

Hongjiang had already fallen asleep in the captain's room of the fifth division under the leadership of Yoruichi. In fact, he fainted from exhaustion on the way. He really needed a rest.

Ichigo and others also followed Hong Jiang and Yoruichi back to the fifth team. The Collaboration Bureau is the best place for them, guests of the Seireitei, to stay.

But before returning to the Collaboration Bureau, Ichigo went to the Fourth Division to visit Rukia, Renji and Byakuya.

Rukia's injuries were not serious, but fortunately the rescue was timely and her life was not life-threatening. She had already woken up when Ichigo went to visit, and when she saw the other person's sad face, she even joked with him a few words.

Byakuya and Renji were not so lucky. They were supported by Arrancar in time, but the injuries they had suffered previously were too serious.

The fourth team was able to control their injuries in time, but it was still unclear when the two would wake up. To be precise, the two were not out of danger when Ichigo left.

This also made Ichigo, who had returned to the fifth division, still look worried. Upon seeing this, Sadatari asked bluntly: "What's wrong, Ichigo?"

Inoue Orihime also looked at him with a worried look. Under everyone's concern, Ichigo no longer hid his worries, "It's nothing, I just feel that I am too incompetent."

"Rukia, Renji, and everyone else are fighting so hard, but I haven't accomplished anything. This feeling is so annoying!"

As he spoke, he punched the floor beneath him. Now he could finally understand what Hong Jiang meant by war.

Right and wrong are completely unimportant. When one party has such despair, the front is destined to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

This is also an inescapable vortex, as strong as Yamamoto, Hong Jiang, including Kurosaki Ichigo, and all his familiar friends. If one is not careful, he may be shattered into pieces in the devouring vortex.

Ichigo doesn't have much ambition or revenge. He just wants to protect the friends around him and protect all the good things he sees.

Now it was obvious that the Quincy, or the Invisible Empire, were the existence that destroyed all the good things in his heart, but he failed to stand up when faced with these enemies who were killing crazily in the Seireitei.

In other words, he tried hard. He also faced a member of the Star Cross Knights, but he was unable to do anything to him. According to Hong Jiang, there were more than twenty opponents like this.

He once again felt a sense of powerlessness and guilt. He wanted to become stronger and end this sad nightmare as soon as possible, but he didn't know what to do.

Sadatari and Inoue could guess what Ichigo was thinking, but neither of them knew how to persuade the other party, because the feeling of powerlessness also enveloped the two of them, even more so than Ichigo.

"Let's rest first, Ichigo." Sadatari broke the silence, "At least wait until Mr. Choizuka wakes up."

"This has nothing to do with Mr. Choizuka, it's me..., Chad..."

"I understand how you feel now, but putting everything on your own shoulders will only increase your troubles. You still have us. Even if we don't know what else to do next, I believe in Mr. Choizuka."

Chado said, turning to look at the captain's room where Hongjiang was resting, "He will show us the direction, just like he once did, right?"

Mr. Choizuka..., he must be in pain at the moment, Ichigo thought silently, his eyes drifting to the captain's room across the lake where the lights were extinguished.

Ichigo has also heard about the relationship between Hong Jiang and the captain, and even saw with his own eyes how the other party persisted in order to save Yamamoto.

Yes, Mr. Choizuka has not fallen down yet. When he wakes up, he will be able to get through the current crisis with everyone as usual.

They haven't fallen yet, they still have the chance to become stronger, and they still have the possibility to protect everything. This is the greatest hope, isn't it?

On the other side, leaning against Ichigo

In the attic where the others live, through the window, you can also see the captain's room opposite, where Ichimaru Gin and the Arrancars are gathered.

"This is the second time I have seen Master Diezhong fall." Harribel leaned against the window and muttered to himself.

Inside the room, Stark was lying on the ground blindfolded and replied lazily: "Really? I thought a guy like him would never fall. It's really surprising."

"That was the first time I saw him. I was so weak that a gust of wind could knock him down. But at that time, he seemed to see through me and said something to me."

"What words?"

"You won't kill me, just like I have no intention of killing here, you and I are the same type of people, people who hate sacrifice."

Stark yawned. He knew this partner he had known for a long time quite well, "He is right, you do hate sacrifice."

Grimmjow seemed to be interested all of a sudden, "But Choizuka..., he is an unpredictable guy, at least he doesn't seem to be a sincere guy."

"You are not allowed to say that to Lord Choizuka!" Luo Ka on the side suddenly became unhappy when she heard this. Recalling her narrow escape experience in Hueco Mundo, she couldn't help but cry, "If it hadn't been for us that time , Lord Diezuka will not be in danger at all.”

"Perhaps it's because you are very important?" Sal Apollo looked like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. "In fact, you are indeed very important. After all, you were my important experimental material."

"Are you trying to sow discord now!" Lessen's eyes flashed fiercely. You must know that he was still weak at the time and almost died at the hands of Apollo.

"Please tell me, are you arguing with your energy at this time?" Stark sat up helplessly, "No matter what the reason was, he did not sacrifice Lorca and the others because of himself. Isn't this rare in Hueco Mundo? Then he asked Harribel: "Is it because of this that you believe in a masked god of death?"

Harribel shook his head, "No, it's because he believed in me as a Hollow first. He seemed to understand me in an instant. To believe in a Hollow as a god of death made me believe that he was really the same as me. The same kind of existence.”

"I didn't expect Captain Choizuka to have such a past. He sounds like a madman, but what he did didn't seem that surprising."

Ichimaru Gin also sat by the window, "So, are you beginning to doubt what he said at the beginning? After all, this support is like asking you to sacrifice for the Seireitei."

Harribel turned his head and replied solemnly: "No, I have never doubted him. Even through this time, I am even more convinced that what he said is true."

"Huh?" Grimmjow said in surprise: "He is filming us to protect those Death Gods and fight against those guys. Don't tell me that he is sure that we will win."

"But this is war, and it is also an existence that makes me feel confused. What can such sacrifices get in return?"

"But this is not enough to convince yourself, because his approach does seem to be sacrificing you in exchange for the safety of this place, isn't it?" Ichimaru Gin asked with interest.

"I can feel the hatred they, the Quincy, have towards us. This hatred is even more unreasonable and firm than the God of Death."

Harribel looked at Ichimaru Gin and asked: "If the God of Death falls here, then it will be our turn next, and even the entire Hueco Mundo will be wiped out, right?"

"Are your lips broken and your teeth cold?" Ichimaru Gin smiled, "You are much smarter than I thought."

"Don't try to sow discord between us and Lord Choizuka." Liesen said solemnly, with a hint of warning in his tone, "We have all entrusted our lives to each other, and so did Lord Choizuka. This is not the case between Aizen and Lord Choizuka. Your fragile relationship!"

"I'm sorry, but I didn't mean that." Ichimaru Gin raised his hands flat to express his apology, and then said: "I just want to make sure that you really don't have a grudge against this rescue, just on a whim."

"That's really energetic, Ichimaru." Stark said lazily.

Once it sounded, "No matter what, we are now on the opposite side of the enemy to those group of Quincy. No matter what, we have no choice anymore. I think everyone still has this awareness."

"Really, Sal Apollo, you don't think you still have a choice now, do you?"

"Even if I wanted to, I'm afraid Lord Diezuka wouldn't give me this chance, right?" Sal Apollo said without any hesitation: "He treats you and me completely differently."

"Both sides are scary, so it's better to choose the one you're more familiar with. As long as I'm still useful, at least I don't have to worry about Lord Choizuka suddenly sacrificing me. From this aspect, he is indeed a reliable person."

Seth, who had been in the corner, couldn't help but said: "Master Diezhong gave you too many opportunities. He could have killed you last time, you traitor!"

"So I said that I am still useful, and I know that he will never give me another chance this time." Sal Apollo said, his eyes drifting to the window, "The enemy he will face this time, I’m afraid he won’t be as calm as before.”

Seeing that Lesen's eyes became fierce again, Sal Apollo looked at him helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, even if he is not so calm, I think he will still find a way to victory, okay?"

After hearing this, Lesen finally suppressed his desire to teach Apollo a lesson.

Harribel was still looking out the window quietly, knowing that the man in the house opposite would stand up again just like he did when she first saw him.

But she was a little unsure whether the other party would fall down for the third time. If so, I'm afraid the other party would never have a chance to stand up again.

Harribel thought about that kind of future, and thought that the person who was trying to bring peace to Hueco Mundo might one day fall down, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.

He is the one who can carry her dreams, Harribel is extremely sure of this, but in exchange for each other, can she carry the other's dreams?

It seemed that during the time they were together, all they talked about were her dreams. What exactly that man's dream was, Harribel didn't even know.

She is a person who hates sacrifice. Whether she is sacrificing for others or sacrificing others because of herself, she hates it extremely.

But at this moment, for the first time, the thought of sacrificing for someone came to her mind.

Because he dared to entrust his precious things to her, and correspondingly, she was also willing to entrust her diagnosis and treatment belief to him.

Maybe this is not a sacrifice, but maybe a way of expressing sustenance.

It's just that Harribel really can't tell the difference between the two. All she can do is strengthen her belief so that she won't be afraid of this uncertain war.

And what happened to her was just a microcosm. This night was a night of respite for many people, but at the same time, it was also a night where they found a reason to persevere in the future war.

It was on this night that an order and a handwritten piece of paper were delivered to Kyōraku Shunsui.
