Death: This Death is not serious

"..."

The room was quiet, with only the sound of air flowing.

Yamamoto slowly opened his eyes, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, as if he could penetrate everything.

Even though he hadn't closed his eyes for three consecutive days, he still looked tired and decadent.

At this moment, the time had quietly come to 6:30 in the morning, which was the moment Yamamoto had been waiting for.

Three days ago, the captain of the 4th Division, Unohana Retsu, and the captain of the 12th Division, Urahara Kisuke, entered the Mao underground prison together.

They solemnly promised the old man that they would give a result within three days.

Now the time has come.

"Report to the captain, Captain Unohana and Captain Urahara are here!"

Outside the paper door, the respectful and steady voice of the Riting team came.

"... Let them in."

Yamamoto whispered softly, and the voice seemed to come from deep in his chest.

Then, the respectful response of the Riting team came from outside the door again.

Yamamoto sat quietly in his seat, holding the teacup steadily with both hands and taking a sip.

The hot tea flowed down his throat, and a warm current quickly spread throughout his body, making him feel refreshed.

The rich tea fragrance spread in the air, lingering at the tip of his nose, making him feel relaxed and happy.

He closed his eyes and drove away the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

As the tea fragrance soaked in, his thoughts gradually became clearer, and his brain became clearer.

Yamamoto let the hot water warm his throat, cleared his throat, and said leisurely:

"What's going on?"

"More than 70% of the prisoners in the Mao underground prison have been confirmed dead!"

Urahara Kisuke, who was always lazy, rarely showed a serious expression.

Through the gaps in his long hair, you can see that he looks tired.

Although Urahara Kisuke is lazy and hates work, he can also see the overall situation.

Yamamoto used silence to signal them to continue.

Urahara Kisuke sighed:

"There's nothing much to say, the situation of those criminals is the same as you know."

"The body has not suffered too serious damage, but life activities have stopped."

Urahara Kisuke's story caused Yamamoto to frown.

"Why did they die?"

"I also find it strange. Captain Unohana couldn't find out the cause of death even with the Kaido."

"So I used the instruments of the 12th Division without authorization and examined the body."

As he said this, Urahara Kisuke glanced at Yamamoto with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Doing this without permission is not in line with the rules of the Gotei 13.

Yamamoto didn't say much, just nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, and motioned him to continue.

That look seemed to say that now is not the time to care about such trivial matters.

Urahara Kisuke breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"After a detailed examination, we found that they had no souls, or their souls disappeared."

"What do you mean by no souls?"

Yamamoto frowned and asked in confusion.

The soul is the root of the spirit body and the core of life, and it is also attached to the spirit body.

Generally speaking, after the death of a captain-level strongman, the spirit body cannot dissipate naturally, and the soul will always be attached to the body.

Even if the body is broken, the soul will be attached to the broken spirit.

These spirits will not be integrated into the cycle of the three realms.

Instead, the soul and body or spirit will be sent to hell together during the soul burial ceremony.

However, now the bodies of those sinners are still lying intact in the first team barracks, but the souls have disappeared.

This is really strange!

It is completely inconsistent with his cognition for thousands of years! !

"According to my and Captain Unohana's speculation, these spirits may have been taken away by someone before they died, or their souls were simply destroyed."

Urahara Kisuke said seriously:

"Without the soul, the spirit will naturally die."

The old man standing opposite had obviously never encountered such a situation.

But coincidentally, Urahara Kisuke not only encountered it, but also did similar things.

You know, not everyone has the experience of making Hougyoku like him.

Although the material he used to make Hougyoku at that time was the soul of the hollow.

But in fact, the situation is similar.

When collecting experimental materials, he also took away the soul of the hollow first, and the hollow would really die.

It's just that those hollows are too weak, and they will not leave corpses like those sinners after death.

Thinking of this, Urahara Kisuke couldn't help but recall the mysterious man who invaded the Technology Development Bureau.

The man searched his laboratory.

Although he returned empty-handed in the end, maybe the purpose was his Hougyoku.

Fortunately, the Collapsing Jade has now been handed over to Aozaki Mazuki.

There should be no one in the world who is more powerful than him.A safer place beside.

After all, Aozaki Mayu's strength is there, and Urahara Kisuke is full of confidence in him.

Yamamoto frowned and fell into deep thought.

But the idea in his mind is completely different from Urahara Kisuke.

Kill souls?

Death gods and hollows do not have this ability at all.

For souls, the former can purify, while the latter can only devour or merge.

In essence, the behavior of both is part of the natural cycle of the three realms.

Rather than the real destruction of souls!

In his cognition, only one race has this ability to destroy souls.

——Quincy!

In the past few hundred years, Youhabach was defeated by him, so why did he start a war against the current Quincy?

Not just to end the war a thousand years ago.

More importantly, the ability of the Quincy to destroy souls will break the balance between the three realms!

The hollows killed by them will no longer be able to participate in the cycle and will completely disappear from the world!

But as far as he knew, Quincies were all special attacks against Hollows, and killing spirits could only destroy the souls of Hollows, not the souls of Shinigami.

Could it be that those people had not been killed yet, and they had developed a new technology that could destroy the souls of Shinigami?

A heavy worry surged in Yamamoto's heart.

The current Quincies were all human, and human bodies could not enter Soul Society.

He unconsciously thought of the group of Quincies that were transformed into spirits by Yhwach a thousand years ago.

Yamamoto coughed and continued to ask:

"What about Kenpachi Zaraki? How is he?"

"There is nothing wrong with his vital signs, but he seems to have fallen into a state similar to a vegetative state."

It was Unohana Retsu who took over the conversation.

Urahara Kisuke also nodded and added:

"We can't find a solution for the time being, so I'm afraid we can't provide you with any help."

Hearing this, Yamamoto sighed heavily:

"Well, let's ignore him for now. Next, we have more important things to do, which may be related to the safety of Soul Society."

If that group of Quincies are really still alive and have the ability to kill so many prisoners...

It may be a huge threat to the Gotei 13!

Just then.

The voice of the Ritsu team came from outside the door:

"Report, Captain-General."

"What's the matter?" Yamamoto asked.

"Two adults want to see you..."

The Ritsu team stopped talking before they finished.

"Hmm?"

Yamamoto frowned, feeling a little strange.

Just when everyone in the room was confused, a hearty laugh came from outside the door.

The laughter echoed in the room, making everyone look sideways.

Soon, the door was gently pushed open, and a woman walked in slowly.

Seeing the familiar figure, everyone in the room was stunned.

Yamamoto's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Why are you here..."

Seeking everything.
