Pirate: Strengthening with Alcohol

As if knowing that Ling Bai was difficult to deal with, the man in black turned his target to Kuchiki Rukia. The light reflected from the mirror made Kuchiki Rukia lose consciousness in an instant. Ling Bai quickly stepped in front of Kuchiki Rukia and took her place. After blocking the attack, they all realized that this white light would not only dazzle people, but also make them unconscious.

In this case, just don't give him any time to fight back. The next moment, the blade tore through the space. The man in black didn't expect that the opponent was so fast. The soul-killing knife came out of his hand, blood flowed from his wrist, and he knelt on the ground. , Ling Bai stood in front of him, chuckled and said: "At your level, you don't have to look directly. Your soul-killing sword seems to reflect the moonlight, making the enemy unconscious for a moment when they see the moonlight. I know you will attack me from the front. As long as you know this, you will definitely lose. Now you can tell us why you want to hunt down Ruri Chiyo and the others."

The man in black did not speak, but instead jumped into the sky. Ling Bai waved the soul-cutting knife, and black flames roared out. Just when he was about to devour the man in black, the body of the man in black suddenly exploded. Ling Bai frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, He will self-destruct, and it seems Rurichiyo is hiding quite a secret.

At this moment, Quanlong and the others who had run away rushed back. Quanlong said as if to praise: "Have you repelled the assassins? Ling Bai, you did a great job."

Ling Bai didn't pay attention and just said: "You can tell us the truth this time."

The two men looked at each other. They were not stubborn characters. Then they returned to the room and put Ruri Chiyo, who had fallen asleep long ago, on the bed. They sat down in front of the coffee table. Inunryu said slowly: "Actually, Ruri Chiyo Chiyo-sama is the eldest daughter of the Kasumioji family.”

"Kasumioji?" Rukia Kuchiki said, "Are you talking about the Kasumioji family in Soul Society?"

Inunryu nodded, and Rukia Kuchiki suddenly realized that no wonder they would adopt such a posture. In Soul Society, Kasumi Ohji is a superior noble after the four nobles.

Chapter 439: Care

Ling Bai smiled bitterly. If Rukia Kuchiki had thought of it earlier, she might not have gone through such a big circle. After hearing Rukia Kuchiki's name, they also looked surprised.

"Kuchiki? Is this the Kuchiki family?".

"Yes."

"That's really disrespectful." Inulyu quickly lowered his head and said, "I never thought that a nobleman of the Kuchiki family would be alive."

Kuchiki Rukia didn't care either. She was originally the adopted sister of Kuchiki Byakuya. She didn't have such a big air. If it weren't for Ling Bai's relationship, as the captain of the Thirteenth Division, she wouldn't have stayed in this world for a long time. Inu Long told their reasons. Ruri Chiyo is the orthodox heir of the Kasumioji family. Her parents were the previous heads of the family. Her mother died of unknown reasons after giving birth to Ruri Chiyo, and her father also died of illness not long after that.

Inukryu and Saruyu have been taking care of Ruri Chiyo since he was born and accompanying him to grow up. In other words, Chiyo Ruri is too young and has not yet inherited the family business. The problem arises here, temporarily taking over the Kasumioji family. It was a man named Kumoi Yaojue. He was next to him. Recently, missing retainers began to appear continuously. They speculated that Kumoi Yaojue should have eliminated the retainers who disagreed with him. There were clear signs. It shows that Yunjing Yaojue wants to take advantage of his position to take over Xia Dalu's family.

"Rebellion..." Ling Bai said softly.

Inunryu nodded, and the matter didn't end there. Just recently, many strange things have been happening around Ruri Chiyo, either wild beast attacks or house explosions. Kumoi Yaokaku wanted to treat Ruri Chiyo, the orthodox heir of the Kasumioji family. As a thorn in their side, what confuses them is that there is no evidence to prove that he did it. Inunryu considered that it would be dangerous to continue like this. In order to protect Ruri Chiyo, they did not tell any retainers and took advantage of the night to visit Kasumioji's house. The special world-crossing gate came to this world.

This is the reason why they were not detected. Inunryu suddenly bowed his head and apologized to Ling Bai. They had heard the rumors about Ling Bai in Soul Society. He had seen with his own eyes that he was even more powerful than the legend. They asked Ling Bai In order to protect the safety of Ruri Chiyo, if the civil strife among the nobles was made public, Kasumioji's family would most likely be destroyed, so he could not ask for death from the Gotei 13.

Ling Bai sighed silently. Fortunately, he did not take over as the captain of the third division. They still couldn't think of a foolproof plan. The previous assassin had the courage to self-destruct. This shows that Yunjing Yaojue's control ability is able to catch the assassin. As long as Jing Yaojue said he didn't know the assassins, there was nothing they could do. And the most important thing was that the assassin troops had many strange abilities, and they all wanted to be masters.

There is another more important thing, that is, Ruri Chiyo does not know that she is being hunted, and they do not want her to know. Ling Bai curled his lips. In this case, things will become troublesome.

They also understood that it was impossible to hide this kind of thing. It was only a matter of time. After spending a comfortable day, Ruri Chiyo also noticed something strange. After just one night, Inulong and Apelong's attitudes towards Ling Bai changed obviously. Although they deliberately created the calling and calling atmosphere yesterday, it still made people feel very stiff. Finally at dinner, Ruri Chiyo broke out, thinking that they were hiding something from them. After three questionings, they still couldn't get it. The answer was that she ran out of the house, and before leaving, she said she hated dog dragons and ape dragons the most.

With these words, Inuryu and Sarusu squatted in the corner, helpless. Ling Bai realized the seriousness of the matter. If Ruri Chiyo was attacked by an assassin at this time, the consequences would be disastrous. He quickly asked them to separate and look for who. I didn't expect that the first person to discover Rurichiyo was Inoue Orihime who was walking by the lake. Inoue Orihime didn't know what happened just now, but seeing the way she was crying and the two Shinigami around her, she probably understood. what happened.

Inoue Orihime was still a girl who was very good at comforting people. They were sitting on a bench by the lake. Inuryu and Saruyu cared too much for Ruri Chiyo. This kind of care was almost doting, so they didn't want her to have unnecessary worries. Ruri Chiyo didn't think so, she just felt that they always regarded her as a child. Inoue Orihime held her hand and said softly: "Giving too much tenderness will indeed make you take it for granted, but you will realize it when it disappears." If so, you will only regret it, you have to understand them.”

After hearing this, Ruri Chiyo began to regret that she had said too much to them. Accompanied by Inoue Orihime, they walked back, but before they had gone far, spiritual pressure fell from the sky, wearing black tights, The assassin holding a fishbone-like soul-cutting knife stood in front of them and looked at Ruri Chiyo without hesitation. Inoue Orihime reacted quickly and quickly hugged Ruri Chiyo to avoid it.

Rurichiyo didn't know that he was being hunted. He sat on the ground and said loudly: "Do you know who I am? So presumptuous!".

Chapter 440: Children

It was a good thing that she didn't tell her identity. Hearing her name strengthened the assassin's determination to kill her. The next moment, with a bang, the fishbone-like blade struck the orange shield raised by Inoue Orihime. Not knowing the opponent's ability, the assassin was also very cautious. He retreated to a distance of more than ten meters and waved the long sword. The green spiritual pressure roared out, hit the three-day shield, and spread out.

Although his power did not break through the three-day shield, the spiritual pressure turned into something like a fish bone and was suppressed. Inoue Orihime had to pull Ruri Chiyo to avoid it. The light green spiritual pressure attacked again, but there was no Chasing them instead drew a circle around them. After the spiritual pressure dissipated, fishbone-like walls appeared around them. They had nowhere to escape. Ruri Chiyo still couldn't understand why the assassin would do this to her. She even thought that it might be the reason why she secretly came to this world to play.

Inoue Orihime raised a three-day shield to block the green spiritual pressure coming from the shop. However, the opponent's spiritual pressure was too strong. Inoue Orihime could not hold on for too long. Ruri Chiyo hid behind him and shed tears. Calling out the names of Dogryu and Sarusu, at the moment when the spiritual pressure turned into fish bones and smashed down, two familiar faces appeared in front of him.

"your Highness……"

The wall collapsed suddenly, and Inuryu held Rurichiyo out of danger. Rurichiyo was finally freed from despair and apologized to them in tears. Ling Bai also rushed over at this time. When he saw the man in black, Ling Bai pulled out his soul-cutting knife. , he attacked, but he did not use all his strength. The shape of the opponent's soul-cutting sword was too strange, and he did not know what kind of strange ability it had. However, the man in black went all out. The assassination work must be completed as soon as possible. The longer time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it became for him. He swung the soul-cutting sword and released green spiritual pressure. Ling Bai subconsciously blocked it with the blade.

The moment his spiritual pressure touched the blade, it turned into a fishbone-like wall, jamming his blade into the wall and restraining them. The assassin jumped from mid-air and went straight to Ruri Chiyo. Inunryu stood up without hesitation. He came out and pulled out the soul-killing knife.

"Let the flowers dance wildly, the red branches droop."

Ling Bai was about to release the black flames when he saw him freeing the soul-cutting sword. He shrugged helplessly. Pink petals bloomed on the long black sword. It was like a Valentine's Day gift. He sighed silently. In his tone, he didn't want to help. Since Dogron had the will to fight and something like that happened just now, it was the best choice to let him deal with the assassin. Moreover, he also wanted to see the strength of Dogron.

The man in black seemed to be afraid of his ability. He returned to the air. Thinking of this, he raised his head with a look of surprise. Dozens of pink petals bloomed on the man's soul-killing knife. It was extremely funny. However, he seemed to have only this ability, and said loudly: "Now, Ling Bai!"

Ling Bai shook his head, and black flames roared out, instantly smashing into the wall and swallowing the man in black in mid-air. He did not use all his strength. He wanted to catch him alive and asked him who sent him, but the flames just dissipated. , he turned around and saw that the man in black was no longer there, but appeared in front of them, with a long fishbone-like knife pointed at the neck of the dog dragon.

"Isn't his weapon inoperable?"

Dog Dragon complained: "You pushed too hard and blew the pollen away. My red branches can only work within the range of the pollen scattered, but..."

While speaking, he brushed the blade, and the petals flew away, which actually fascinated the eyes of the men in black. They quickly took the opportunity to escape, and before leaving, they did not forget to say: "Ling Bai, I'll leave the rest to you."

Ling Bai sighed. He had never experienced such a gorgeous battle. However, he still took advantage of the moment when the petals fascinated the eyes of the man in black, and ducked behind him. He put the soul-cutting knife on his neck and said in a deep voice. : "That's it. Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate the princess."

Even so, he was still careless. The man in black released powerful green spiritual pressure from the hilt of the knife, and he had to retreat. At the moment he retreated, the man in black was swallowed by his own spiritual pressure and his body dissipated. Not even the bones are left.

Not far away, Ruri Chiyo also breathed a sigh of relief. After being out of danger, she began to wonder who the other party was. Inuryu just said: "I think he might just be a burglar. Your Highness, you don't have to worry."

Ruri Chiyo frowned, turned around, faced them, and said slowly: "I have told you before, don't treat me like a child."

However, seeing them covered in dust and remembering how her waywardness had made them worried just now, she still couldn't bear to get angry. In any case, the incident was resolved safely. However, this was just the beginning. The next morning, Ling Bai still Before he woke up, Inunryu jumped out of the window and broke into the room. Ruri Chiyo disappeared again.

Ling Bai suddenly sat up from the bed. After what happened last night, he didn't think Ruri Chiyo would leave again. The assassin must have captured her late at night.

Chapter 441: Replacement

Despite all the commotion in the world, the Soul Society is very peaceful. The third division of the new captain has taken over. For some unknown reason, the tasks it has recently received are very low-level tasks. They are either repairing the city wall or looking for the lost. They even had to repair the team building of the 12th division. The team members complained so much that Kira Izuru couldn't stand it anymore and went to Amagai Shushu to discuss it.

Amagai Susuke didn't pay attention. His explanation was that the first two captains of the third division had not very good records. Ichimaru Gin had betrayed him, and Hobashi Rojuro also escaped from the Soul Society. Although he was in Annihilation Although he died in the battle of the division, this record cannot be erased. If Matsumoto Rangiku and Heiko Mako heard these words, I don’t know what they would think. Having said that, Amagai Suisuke meant that he wanted to find his past. To trust him, something must be done, and he doesn't think that he can change it immediately just by relying on these things.

Kira Izuru has nothing to say. No matter what, Ichimaru Gin occupies a very important position in his heart. It is not easy for him to refute the current captain. In fact, looking at his appearance, Amagai Susuke also feels that the former captain Ichimaru Yin's existence may be too important in this team. He looked out the window and said softly: "You are different from him. No one asked you to do the same thing as him. Although it is also a way to lead the team with the idol captain as the center. Method, but if there is only one pillar, when it collapses, the whole team will collapse."

Having said this, he looked at Kira Izuru and said slowly: "That's why I want to build a new team with you, me, and Kibune as the backbone. What are the three Kibune seats doing now?"

In fact, Kifune was drinking with the team members. After many missions, and because he is very kind and generous, he now has a very close relationship with the team members. I have to say that Amagai Susuke is really doing his duty as the captain. , when there is no mission, he will gather the team members in the open space for swordsmanship training. He believes that more and more Daxu have appeared recently. If they do not train and cooperate with each other, sooner or later some team members will die.

His special training method is also very interesting. He takes out colorful headbands and asks the team members to wear them. The color of the headbands he mentioned is the enemy, and then three people form a group to surround the enemy. However, the color of the enemy will change at any time. , the moment he talks about another color, the relationship between the enemy and the enemy will immediately change. This is the special training he created to cultivate the ability to judge instantly. This special training method was also developed by Amagai Suisuke during the expedition. of.

After such special training, the team members also recognized him very much. It didn't take long for them to be able to move in such an orderly manner without even realizing it. Neither Ichimaru Gin nor Hobashiro Juro had ever done this before. The team members felt very motivated during the collective battle training. Unknowingly, they also felt that Kibuneri seemed to be more reliable than Kira Izuru, and they even felt that the vice-captain might be replaced soon.

This word also reached Kira Izuru's ears. On the surface, Kira Izuru didn't seem to care, but no one knew what he was thinking. From that day on, he went to the pub to drink all day long, and even invited The other vice-captains, he always said after drinking, that the current third division was different from the previous one and had undergone complete changes.

Tetsuzaemon of the shooting range had a good drinking capacity, and he could still stay sober and said: "Suddenly a new captain comes who no one knows, and the atmosphere will naturally change accordingly. I can understand your confusion, and this is also thanks to Amagai Captain, the evaluation of the third team has also improved. It is really good to be able to achieve this level in such a short period of time. "

He also reminded Kira Izuru that if he didn't cheer up, he might be robbed of the position of vice-captain by the third seat. This sentence hit Kira Izuru's heart, and he said with a livid face: " I just can’t be trusted anyway…”

While they were drinking, Kyōraku Shunsui and Amagaisuke came in. The two sat in a private room and drank. Amagaisuke was still so humble. He said that as a junior, it was natural for him to ask for advice from his seniors. They were all People who don't like beating around the bush, Amagai Susuke Nao said, he wanted to strengthen the cooperation between the teams. He asked many people. After so many wars, the Gotei 13 Team still suffered a lot of casualties. Big ones, especially the war initiated by the Quincy, directly lost many captains.

Kyōraku Shunsui also thought his idea was good and praised him for being so young and having his own way. However, he also said that he should not just say this to him, but also discuss it with other captains. Although as the general manager Captain, but he is not as courageous as Yamamoto Genryusaku. He suggested that Hirako Mako should also be called next time. After all, the other party is also a very senior captain.

Although Amagai Shusuke was very frank and motivated, he really couldn't drink. He fell to the ground after drinking only one glass, which surprised Kyoraku Shunsui.

Chapter 442: False Alarm

Kirara Izuru still had a distressed face. Even Takafune Riki asked him when he reported the situation, why do you always look so unconfident? Kirara Izuru didn't say anything. Late that night, Jigokucho sent an urgent message that a suspicious person appeared near the execution ground. They immediately rushed over. There had been too many wars before, and any abnormality could not be let go.

They rushed to the execution ground and saw a young team member waiting there. Kirara Izuru didn't know his name at all, but Takafune Riki could call it clearly. There was a bottomless man-made pit in the middle of the execution ground. Under the moonlight, it was even more creepy. The team members said that a figure disappeared in the pit. They looked down and it was completely dark. If you fall into it, unless you are a deputy captain, there is no hope.

Suddenly, the rocks under their feet collapsed and fell down together. The team members had weak spiritual pressure. If they hit the ground, they would definitely fall to death. They couldn't help but scream in despair. Kirara Izuru stepped on the falling gravel and caught him in mid-air. He landed on the ground, but was hit on the shoulder by the stone. Although it was gloomy and dark from above, it was very bright inside. You could see the moon when you looked up. At this height, it was almost impossible to climb up. Kirara Izuru had never been here before, but he felt that there should be an exit here to bring the criminals over. They ran to the depths of the bottom. In the darkness, there was a cell with dozens of Hollows locked up. There was no time to think about how there were Hollows here. The cell was broken. They quickly drew out the Soul-Slaying Swords and killed the Hollow that rushed to the front in less than five seconds. Although there were many of them, this level of Hollows could not threaten them. Kira Izuru turned his head subconsciously, his pupils suddenly contracted, and the young Grim Reaper was caught by a green Hollow and stuffed into his Hollow hole. Kibune Riki acted faster than him, and the blade cut through the space, instantly cutting the Hollow in half.

Kifune Riki released the Soul-Slaying Blade Fierce Wind, like a huge boomerang, he threw it out, and killed most of the Hollows in a moment. He walked towards the Hollow that had just caught the team member and was still struggling on the ground, and threw the Soul-Slaying Blade. Seeing what he did, Kira Izuru quickly dodged over, Wabisuke held his Soul-Slaying Blade that was emitting a green light, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing? Kibune Sansei?"

"I just want to kill that Hollow." Kibune Riki said calmly.

"No!" Kira Izuru gritted his teeth and said, "If this happens, Sera will die too!"

Takafune Riki, who was originally very kind, turned cold at this time. He slowly said, "That idiot didn't do his job well and was sucked in by the enemy. He is a shame to the God of Death. Since he has the responsibility of the God of Death, he should be prepared to die. He has become a stumbling block in such a place and puts us in crisis. There is no value in living."

"Do you know what you are saying?" Kira Izuru said.

Takafune Riki took back his Soul-Zan Knife and raised his eyebrows and asked, "I want to ask you, why did you save this kind of trash? You are so naive. It is because of your style of doing things that you failed to prevent the previous captain's rebellion."

Kirara Izuru had nothing to say, and he didn't want to discuss the matter of Ichimaru Gin with anyone. Takafune Riki still said that he was not aware enough, and threw out the Soul-Zan Knife. The spiritual pressure exploded at the bottom of the execution ground. Their strength was evenly matched. Kirara Izuru held the Soul-Zan Knife tightly with both hands. He was very hesitant and didn't know what to do. If Takafune Riki attacked him, what should he choose? At this time, the voice of Amagai Shusuke came from above.

They didn't fight any more. Takafune Riki took back his soul-slaying sword, as if nothing had happened. He raised his head and shouted, "Captain Amagai, call the rescue team quickly. There is a member who was almost swallowed by the Hollow and is seriously injured."

Kirara Izuru also put down his soul-slaying sword, not knowing what to say. What surprised him was that Takafune Riki's attitude of worrying about the safety of the members was completely different from the coldness just now. They returned to the ground, and the members were sent to the fourth squad. Due to their serious injuries, whether they could be saved depended on God's will. As for the collapsed ground, after investigation, it seemed that someone had done something to it. Kirara Izuru looked at Takafune Riki with a vigilant look. He suspected that this accident was planned by Takafune Riki, but there was no evidence and he could not make an accusation.

More importantly, Kibune Riki and Amagai Shusuke were members of the expedition team that came to the Third Division together. They should be on the same front. If they make such a guess, it will only be disadvantageous to themselves. Just as they were about to evacuate here, Kurotsuchi Mayuri hurried over and pointed at Amagai Shusuke and said, "You guys, the ones below are the Hollows I used for experiments. Now you have killed them all. How are you going to compensate me?"

"So it was from the 12th Division..." Amagai Shusuke scratched his head and looked very sorry.

Chapter 443: Tea Party

They didn't know who opened the door of the laboratory and let the Hollows run out. Kurotsuchi Mayuri didn't care about that and pushed all the responsibility to Amagai Shusuke, blaming him for not capturing the Hollows alive. Amagai Shusuke had nothing to say, but the other team members were indignant. It was just such a small matter that the grudge between the Third Division and the 12th Division was formed.

Also in the early morning of that day, the boundary door of Kasumidaoji's house located on the outskirts of Jinglingting was opened from the outside world, and Ruri Chiyo sneaked in quietly. She thought no one would notice, but after walking through the bamboo forest, Yunjing Yaojue seemed to have been there for a long time. As if waiting for her here, Ruri Chiyo's hat was scared off in front of her. She had never liked this old man and always felt that he had a sinister aura. Fortunately, other retainers heard the movement and rushed over. Seeing Ruri Chiyo, who had been missing for several days, she looked happy.

"Your Highness Princess." Yunjing Yaojue's eyes reflected white light, making it difficult for him to see his expression clearly. He said slowly: "You actually left home without saying hello to me in advance. After such a long time, what on earth did you do? Where are you going?”

With so many retainers by his side, Ruri Chiyo felt confident and said loudly: "I've been with Inuryu and Monuryu. Besides, there's no need for me to report everything to you."

"I can't accept it." Yunjing Yaojue walked up to her and said in a deep voice: "If anything happens to Her Royal Highness the Princess, you will not only be shamed, but the entire Xia Dalu family, as well as your deceased My father and mother have no light on their faces.”

When he said this, Rurichiyo could not refute. He could only turn his head and said: "Of course I know about this kind of thing.".

"Since you know this, as a princess, you must act with caution and don't do this next time."

After that, he turned around and walked into the yard. Ruri Chiyo made a face at him, and then smiled and said: "Go and build a bridge for me, I'm going to attend a tea party."

The so-called bridge building, that is, manpower carrying the sedan chair, Ruri Chiyo was driven to the tea party by the team members. Not long after she left, the world-traveling gate opened again, and Ling Bai and Kuchiki Rukia barged in. They had never seen each other before. Face, the gatekeeper pulled out the tip of the knife and blocked it. The dog dragon followed closely and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing? Get back quickly! You should know that the only people who can use this world-crossing gate are the princess and us cronies."

The guard did not dare to be presumptuous, so he knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said, "Lord Inunryu, the door was opened just now, but no one was seen."

Ling Bai frowned slightly. Ruri Chiyo probably slipped into the courtyard quietly while the guards were not paying attention. If Yunjing Yaojue discovered it, the situation would be terrible. Thinking of this, Ling Bai sighed silently, no Being considerate of other people's hardships is really willful. Even a child cannot behave like this. It seems that he has been pampered for too long under the protection of the dog dragon and the ape dragon.

They moved separately. This place was not very far from the team building of Seireitei. Rukia Kuchiki could even see the familiar Shinigami moving nearby. Inuryu and Saruyu saw Ruri Chiyo's body in front of the warehouse in Kasumioji's courtyard. Hats, they pushed open the warehouse door. It was dark inside. They felt a little bit in their hearts, but they walked in. There was nothing inside, and there was no movement from Ruri Chiyo. However, the door was closed, and the only light source was blocked. They could not see their fingers. The darkness suddenly plunged them into panic.

Yunjing Yaojue stood outside the door and sneered: "While I deal with the princess, you can stay here temporarily."

At the same time, Rurichiyo also arrived at the tea party, and what came out to greet her was a cute girl about her age, wearing a blue kimono. Rurichiyo asked the servant to wait outside, and the two girls walked into the courtyard. They seemed to have a pretty good relationship. , holding hands, walked through the corridor and walked into the innermost room, where four girls about her age were sitting, wearing various kimonos of various colors. It was a tea party rather than a children's game.

Ling Bai avoided the servants, jumped from the wall into the courtyard, and landed in front of Ruri Chiyo. He didn't expect Ling Bai to come here at all. Ruri Chiyo, who was sitting on the corridor, spit out the sip of tea he just drank and screamed. Said: "Ling Bai, why are you here!"

"This is what I want to say." Ling Bai said helplessly: "Go back quickly, everyone is waiting."

Ruri Chiyo returned to Kasumioji's house without telling Inuryu Sarusu just to attend the tea party. How could he easily go back with Ling Bai? Just when they were in a stalemate, dozens of guards rushed over. The one wearing a blue kimono, The girl named Xiyi seemed to be a princess of some noble family. The leader of the guard knelt on one knee in front of him and whispered: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, we actually allowed thieves to invade."

Ling Bai looked at Ruri Chiyo, wanting her to explain. Who knows, Ruri Chiyo turned his head and said angrily: "I don't know him."

After saying that, she turned around and left. Ling Bai sighed silently and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Chapter 444: The fate of the nobles

After all, they were the guards of the nobles, not the regular Shinigami of the Gotei 13. They could not keep up with Ling Bai's speed. In their eyes, Ling Bai seemed to disappear out of thin air. Ruri Chiyo walked far away and was still complaining about Ling Bai. Bai, just his appearance made the rare tea party lose interest.

Just as she was about to go back, there was a sound of crying in front of her. She raised her head and looked forward. She saw a girl in shabby clothes sitting on the corridor, burying her head and crying. She walked over, knelt down next to her and asked: "What's wrong, are you a kid doing odd jobs here? Are you being scolded by your mother? Come with me."

Ruri Chiyo pulled her up and saw her face clearly. Although her clothes were shabby, her facial features were very delicate. She had red pupils, beautiful long hair, and a natural beauty. If she was well dressed, she might be more noble than many princesses. More, what is puzzling is that she cried for a long time, and there was not even a trace of tears on her face. However, Ruri Chiyo did not pay attention to this. The girl smiled slightly, and pulled her in the opposite direction with her bare feet.

"Is there anything over there?"

Rurichiyo had no doubts and let her pull her. They left the courtyard through the back door and came to the quiet bamboo forest. The girl let go of her hand and Rurichiyo smiled and said, "What are we doing here?"

The girl raised her lips and showed a cold smile, her voice was neutral and unsuitable for her age. She took out a dagger from her arms and stabbed Ruri Chiyo. After all, she was a noble princess. No matter how stupid she was, she still had a sense of danger. Ruri Chiyo hurriedly avoided it and ran forward. Due to fear, her legs refused to control her. She fell to the ground before running very far. The girl raised her hand and pierced the dagger downwards. Fear spread rapidly in her heart, and it seemed that she could Feeling the subsequent pain in her body, Rurichiyo closed her eyes in despair, welcoming the death she did not expect.

Suddenly, a bang sounded in her ears. After a long time, she felt no pain. She opened her eyes, turned around stiffly, and saw a familiar figure standing in front of her. Ling Bai held the girl and stabbed her. Dagger, frowning slightly, this girl is petite, not as old as Ruri Chiyo, but she has the strength of an adult.

The girl also knew that she was not Ling Bai's opponent. She took a step back, knelt down on one knee, clutching her stomach, showing an extremely painful expression. Ling Bai was confused, how could she get hurt when she didn't do anything? However, he quickly After reacting, there were rapid footsteps not far away, and a large number of guards rushed over. The leader shouted: "It's so shameless to draw a knife on a weak girl!"

Ling Bai shook his head helplessly, not wanting to hurt them, but the guards surrounded him and did not give him a chance to explain. Taking advantage of this chaotic moment, the girl jumped up from the ground and slashed him in an instant. One of the guards standing in front of her reacted, but it was too late. They surrounded Ling Bai. The guards on the outside wanted to stop her, but the girl's knife was too fast. Blood flew everywhere, and three more guards fell to the ground. On the ground, the girl jumped up and stabbed Ruri Chiyo who was still in a daze.

Just before he was about to stab Ruri Chiyo, there was a bang, and the wall nearby exploded in vain. The person who walked out of the smoke and dust turned out to be Zaraki Kenpachi. He grabbed the girl's arm, looked at the crowd, and said slowly: "Ling Bai, you are really here."

The guards naturally recognized the captain of the Gotei Thirteenth Team, and no one dared to make any move. The girl held by Zaraki Kenpachi struggled violently, her body gradually expanded, and a black shadow emerged from her clothes. , the assassin, whose whole body was wrapped in black, pulled out his long sword and attacked Zaraki Kenpachi. With a swipe sound, Zaraki Kenpachi didn't even look at him. When he drew his sword, he slashed at him. The assassin fell in a pool of blood. .

Kuchiki Rukia also walked in through the broken part of the wall. Only then did Rurichiyo know that she was attacked by an assassin. Under the escort of a servant, she left the tea party. Ling Bai also learned that the reason why Rurichiyo came to attend This tea party is because her friend Xiyi is getting married to someone she has never even met. This is also a marriage between nobles, and the tea party is also the last one. After this tea party, they may not have any love in their lives. There is no way to meet again, this is also the fate of the nobles.

Watching them leave, Rukia Kuchiki said: "Captain Zaraki, this is our confidential operation. Please keep it secret for us."

In fact, Zaraki Kenpachi also bumped into this place accidentally. He was originally going for a walk, but he didn't expect to get lost. It was nearby. He felt Ling Bai's spiritual pressure and wanted to come over and have a look. That's what happened just now. "I don't know what you want to do," he said, "I don't have the spare time to remember such inexplicable things."

After that, he left here. Ling Bai raised his head and looked at the flaming clouds on the horizon. After a while, he smiled softly. Just now, he felt the familiar spiritual pressure. It was the assassin he met in the real world. However, he Without taking any action, he turned around and left.

Chapter 445: Broken Traces

As night fell, no one dared to stop Ling Bai, and they successfully returned to the living world. However, the assassin leader of the Kasumi Daiji family, Kanai Banzuo, was very dissatisfied. He returned to the secret room and asked Kumoi Yaoka, and Ruri Chiyo finally returned to the corpse. World, why should she be released back to the present world? Kumoi Yaokaku's considerations were more comprehensive than his. If there was a conflict in Soul Society and the Gotei 13 team discovered it, things would become troublesome, and he would Don't be impatient, Xia Dalu's family has long been in their possession.

Kumoi Yaokaku handed him the sword with a mirror on the handle and asked him to rush to the real world now, kill Ruri Chiyo, and eradicate the troublesome guys. Lingbai and the others returned to the real world and went directly to Urahara Shop , he also understood that the other party deliberately let them come back. If it was resolved in this world, the subsequent matters would be easier to deal with.

Something very distressing has happened to the Urahara store recently. Either there are fewer items, or the products suddenly become difficult to obtain. This kind of thing has never happened before. He heard that the raw materials themselves have become less. The so-called raw materials are spirit seeds. , it seems that only a certain fluctuation is decreasing sharply. Ling Bai went to Soul Society before, but found no such sign. It should be done in secret. In any case, it is difficult to imagine that this is a naturally formed thing.

That is to say, someone is planning some kind of conspiracy. Urahara Kisuke has also secretly done a lot of investigations, but there is no result. He only knows that this phenomenon started at the same time as Ruri Chiyo came to the world.

Their current conversation naturally avoids Ruri Chiyo. Ling Bai thinks this is accidental, but it cannot be concluded that there is no connection. They learned from Yoruichi that the Kasumi Oji family is not only the upper nobles second only to the four nobles, but also said to be nobles with some special circumstances. What kind of special circumstances, they don’t know. But this kind of logistics chaos has never happened in the Soul Society. No matter how you look at it, they are related to a certain extent.

Ling Bai looked at Inu Ryu and said, "Inu Ryu, as an upper-level member of the Kasumi Oji family, you should know something."

"I don't know at all." Inu Ryu folded his arms and said, "Our duty is to protect the safety of Lady Ruri Chiyo. Apart from that, we know nothing."
