Time flies like an arrow, time flies like a shuttle.
Several years passed in the blink of an eye.
In Hueco Mundo, the fireworks are as usual, and there have been no major changes in the past few years.
Perhaps the only change is that the scale of the Akatsuki organization has become much larger. Because of the new members, the scale of the building is also getting larger and larger.
The concentration of spiritual power that has not dissipated can show that Xia Li is still silent in seclusion, but such a flow of spiritual power can also show that Xia Li did not have any accidents.
In addition, Ulquiorra was no longer in Hueco Mundo at this time.
In the recent period, Ulquiorra's control over power has finally reached the standard, meeting the standards for passing away from the real world.
As a result, Ulquiorra did not hesitate at all, nor did he care about his position at the top of the Akatsuki organization, and went to the present world.
However, Ulquiorra was not worried about what would happen to the Akatsuki organization if he left it.
After all, Stark is still there. After solving the problem of loneliness, this man has focused his attention mainly on improving his strength, and his progress has been very large.
Even if Stark is not in charge, there is still Harribel and other newly recruited companions.
They all went through multiple assessments before finally joining the Akatsuki organization. According to the Akatsuki organization's rules for recruiting companions, although there is no guarantee that all companions have the same thoughts, they can guarantee that they are consistent in the general direction. .
Soul Society has been calm over the years, with not much change.
Although Xia Li has never appeared, the responsibilities of the deputy captain of the Fourth Division have always been handed over to Kotetsu Yuine, so Xia Li's absence does not affect the operation of the Fourth Division at all.
And the 11th Squadron has undergone the biggest changes.
First of all, the disappearance of Yachiru Kusuka left the position of deputy captain of the 11th Division vacant.
Madarame Ikkaku and Yumichika fought fiercely while competing for this position. In the end, Madarame Ikkaku, who showed his swastika in this battle, successfully won the battle and became the deputy captain of the 11th Division.
Secondly, Renji suddenly became the vice-captain of the 6th Division from the chief officer of the 11th Division, and his captain was... Byakuya Kuchiki.
Then, Zaraki Kenpachi changed. After he woke up from his drowsiness, he seemed to be a different person. He no longer needed to carry an eye patch to suppress spiritual pressure, or to seal himself.
Zaraki Kenpachi can adjust his power at any time according to the changes of his opponent, and this time, he can still recover after the adjustment, and he can truly control it freely.
But even so, Zaraki Kenpachi still hasn't found a few beings who can be his opponents. There are some things that cannot become weaker even if he restrains himself.
For example, Kenpachi Zaraki’s body is such that the opponent can’t even see through the skin if he cuts it...
During this period of time, Zaraki Kenpachi had already found various captains to fight with him. Except for some guys who were still unwilling to fight with him, he basically beat them all.
However, Zaraki Kenpachi still didn't find the fun in fighting Xia Li.
This made Zaraki Kenpachi miss Xia Li's presence even more. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find Xia Li. No one knew where Xia Li was in seclusion. He seemed to have evaporated in the Soul Society.
Other than that, everything in Soul Society remains the same, and its rules operate as usual...
Under the operation of this rule, Rukia, as the chief officer of the Thirteenth Division, finally embarked on the mission of purifying ghosts in the human world for the first time.
It's just that under this calmness, how many undercurrents are hidden... I don't know.
This world.
When Ulquiorra came out of the space hole, he looked at the surrounding buildings and the streets with people coming and going.
"Is this...the real world? The spiritual power is so thin." Ulquiorra frowned. The city he came to was Karakura Town. It was said that it was already a rare spiritual place in the real world. .
That is, a place with a very high concentration of spiritual energy, but even if it is compared to Hueco Mundo, especially compared to the place where the Akatsuki organization, which has the flow of spiritual energy, is located.
That is simply the same as the sky and the earth, there is no need to compare at all.
However, Ulquiorra had already anticipated all this and frowned without saying anything.
Ulquiorra put his Zanpakutō on his waist, put his hands in his pockets and walked in an unknown direction. He was going to find the Urahara store that Xia Li mentioned.
When Ulquiorra walked, no one could see him, this was normal.
Even if they have spiritual talent, it is difficult to see the Hollow or the God of Death with their naked eyes before awakening.
The more he walked on this street, the more puzzled Ulquiorra became as to why Xia Li wanted him to come to this world.
What is there worth observing here? Most of them are dejected guys. Of course there is laughter, but Ulquiorra doesn't quite understand why the other party is laughing.
Ulquiorra searched for a long time, and according to his perception of spiritual power, he finally found a place with a very high concentration of spiritual power, but...
"This shouldn't be a store." Ulquiorra looked at the school in front of him and frowned, but there were indeed many people with very high spiritual powers in this school.
Ulquiorra shook his head and left.
What Ulquiorra didn't know was that in a classroom on the third floor, an orange-haired student sitting next to the window was tilting his head and looking at everything outside through the window.
Of course, he also saw Ulquiorra who had just stood in front of the school.
Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but feel a little confused when he looked at the other party's dress and the Zanpakutō on his waist.
"What kind of costume is this? Is it a cosplay? But even if you are a cosplayer, why are you here at school? Are you lost?"
However, Kurosaki Ichigo didn't think much about it after seeing Ulquiorra leave.
Ulquiorra finally found the Urahara store, but he only got the answer by asking many souls.
"Is this Urahara Store? It doesn't seem to be anything special." Ulquiorra looked at this somewhat old house, but he couldn't feel any strong spiritual pressure from it.
However, Ulquiorra reacted quickly, with a solemn look in his eyes. Because the owner of the place Xia Li recommended him to come to was unlikely to be an ordinary person, but even if he stood in front of this house, he could not feel any fluctuations in spiritual power.
Does this mean that the other party has no spiritual power?
No, this shows that the other party's control over spiritual power exceeds that of Ulquiorra, so his perception is completely unable to work!
"As expected of the place recommended by Xia Li." Ulquiorra couldn't help but admire after thinking about it, and then after thinking about it, he knocked on the door.
"Who?"
A very unpleasant voice sounded, and then a little red-haired boy opened the door with a broom. It was Jinta Hanagari, one of the children from the Urahara store.
Jinta Hanagari looked at Ulquiorra in front of him and was startled, realizing that he had never seen him before.
There was no mask on the opponent's face, so Jinta Hanagari did not immediately realize that Ulquiorra was a Vastod-level Daxu.
At this time, Jinta Hanagari was still thinking that the other party's appearance was really strange. He was dressed in a high-collared white coat that covered his neck. His face was pale and without a trace of blood, and there were two green tears.
At the same time, there was a Zanpakutō on his waist, so Jinta Hanagari immediately thought that the other party was the new Shinigami.
"Are you the new Shinigami?" Shinta Hanagaru couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not the God of Death. Is this Urahara store?" Ulquiorra asked.
"What else can you be if you're not the God of Death? Didn't you see it says Urahara Store? You're so old, you can't be illiterate, right?" Jinta Hanagari looked at Ulquiorra and said strangely.
"As long as it's Urahara Store, Xia Li asked me to come to the store to ask for a prosthetic body to use for my actions in this world." Ulquiorra stated his purpose without any hesitation.
As for Jinta Hanagari's impolite words, Ulquiorra didn't feel any offense at all. As long as the other person's words contained the answer to his question, that was enough.
"Huh? Was it actually that guy Xia Li who introduced me here?" Hanagawa Jinta looked at Ulquiorra in surprise, then opened the door completely and let Ulquiorra in.
Since Xia Li introduced me, there should be no need to be so defensive.
Jinta Hanagari thought so, and then walked towards the back room with Ulquiorra.
"Store manager, the person introduced by Xia Li is here!" Huagao Jinta shouted.
When Ulquiorra passed by the front room, he seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked up. There was a black cat lying there and looking at him. To be precise, he was looking at the bone helmet-like mask on his side. , that was left over from his Arrancar.
"This cat shouldn't be simple." Ulquiorra looked at the other person and thought in his mind.
And Si Fengyuan Yoruichi also looked at Ulquiorra. She also heard what Hanagari Jinta said, and she was introduced by Xia Li.
Sifengyuan Yoruichi felt a strange aura from the other party. This aura did not look like a human being, nor did it look like a god of death, but more like...a void.
Moreover, the bone armor on the opponent's head seemed to be made of the same material as Xu's mask.
However, the opponent's face was not covered with a virtual mask, which made Sifengyuan Yeyi uncertain for a moment. All he could say was that what Xia Li introduced was indeed a bit strange.
However, since it was Xia Li who introduced him, there shouldn't be any danger.
Facing Sifengyuan, Ye Yi also stood up, shook her body like a real cat, and then jumped towards the back room. She wanted to see what would happen.
Soon, Jinta Hanagari brought Ulquiorra to Urahara Kisuke.
"Ah, it was Xia Li who introduced me here? I haven't heard from that guy for several years. Is he okay?" When Urahara Kisuke saw Ulquiorra, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then again He laughed as usual and asked.
"I don't know either. Xia Li started to retreat after he returned to our place, and he hasn't come out of isolation yet." Ulquiorra replied.
"I see, it seems that Xia Li's gains this time should be quite big." Urahara Kisuke also sighed.
The opponent was already so powerful before. If he made a breakthrough this time, he could no longer imagine what level Xia Li's strength would reach.
"Well, Xia Li asked me to come to the present world to get a prosthetic body from you before retreating, so that I can experience life in this world." Ulquiorra also said directly.
"Really?" Urahara Kisuke looked at Ulquiorra, especially at the half of the control mask on his head, thinking, and then said, "Can you show me your hole?"
After Urahara Kisuke finished speaking, Hanagari Jinta and Shihoin Yoruichi were shocked at the same time. Hanagari Jinta did not expect that Ulquiorra would be Kyon, and even though Shihoin Yoruichi had guessed, he got the answer. I couldn't help being surprised in the end.
Ulquiorra looked at Urahara Kisuke a little strangely, but did not refuse. Since he needed to ask for help from the other party, it was appropriate to meet some of the other party's requirements.
After being petrified, Ulquiorra unzipped his collar, exposing his neck and the black hole between his collarbones.
"How is it possible that it's really a Hollow?!" Jinta Hanagaru looked at Ulquiorra's Hollow, looking like her worldview had collapsed, and at the same time couldn't help but make a defensive gesture.
"Jinta! No need to be so surprised, he is not an enemy." Urahara Kisuke also shouted at this time.
After hearing Urahara Kisuke's words, Hanagari Jinta relaxed, but still stared at Ulquiorra, as if he would take action immediately if the other party made any move.
Urahara Kisuke looked at Ulquiorra's Hollow and sighed, "I heard Xia Li say before that he met two strange Hollow Completed Arrancars in Hueco Mundo, and their wisdom and ability are as good as those of the Shinigami. Generally the same.”
"Well, the other one wasn't interested in the real world, so he didn't come over." Ulquiorra said directly.
"Haha, Xia Li also said that he would bring you over to take a look when he has time. I didn't expect that we would meet in such a state." Urahara Kisuke looked at Ulquiorra, and it turned out that Kyon was really able to rely on him. My own power breaks through the boundary between Hollow and Death.
"The reason I didn't come here before was because my control over spiritual power was not enough to hide my spiritual pressure. If I came to this world rashly, I would be discovered by the Death God's instruments, so I didn't come here. I have recently completed my training in this area, so I came here. "Yes." Ulquiorra replied calmly.
"I see." Urahara Kisuke nodded. He also remembered Xia Li telling him what he would think of a Hollow who had completed the Arrancar.
At that time, Urahara Kisuke was not sure, but looking at Ulquiorra now, it was true that he was no longer violent and depraved. Although his face was still expressionless, his words did not seem to contain any emotion.
However, the other party's rationality was obvious, and it must have taken some time for the other party to come to Urahara Store, and he did not do any evil during this period.
So, maybe this is enough initially. (End of chapter)
