Chapter 528: Turbulent Xcution
Izakaya base.
"Brother Goroku, don't be so stingy. Just tell us about the story between you and Mr. Tsukishima. I have worked at the base for four years and have only met one senior executive, and..."
Nakamura Suzu secretly looked at the two young men waiting to hear the story with a headache, and regretted his foolish boasting just now.
Now all the excuses were blocked by Komatoyo Miyuki's coquettish tone. Now to be honest, do I still want to be the guide of the Fullbring?
He took a puff of cigarette, thought for a few seconds and said: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, after all, it was more than ten years ago. At that time, Mr. Tsukishima and I were comrades fighting side by side, but now he is a senior executive of the organization, and we must recognize our identities."
"Fight side by side?" Komatoyo Miyuki caught the word, his eyes shining.
Nakamura Suzu really wanted to slap himself, but on the surface he shook his right hand lightly: "Ah, I can tell you if you really want to hear it, but when Master Tsukishima comes, don't mention it. Let's focus on Koki's matter. Don't let Master Tsukishima think that we want to take a backdoor and be unhappy."
"Yeah! We know!"
"Hehe, that was twelve, yes, twelve years ago..." Nakamura Suzu 'narrated' the past story in a calm tone, how they saved their companions from the hands of the vice-captain of the god of death, and described a fierce battle.
In his mouth that he couldn't stop, Tsukishima and him seemed to have had a life-and-death friendship.
Until his phone rang.
When he saw the number on the other end, he immediately made a hushing gesture to the two of them: "Don't talk, it's Master Tsukishima, he should be here soon."
Komatoyo Miyuki was startled, and couldn't help but glance at Ji Xing, seeing that Ji Xing looked serious, as if he was nervous about the upcoming assessment.
She was a little confused.
"This is Nakamura Suzu... What? The police station?" He was respectful at first, then raised his voice. Nakamura Suzu Goroku's words instantly made her pupils shrink again.
"Stabbed to death by a sharp blade? How is it possible..."
"Are you sure it's true..."
Nakamura Suzu's face gradually turned pale. He listened quietly to the words of the policeman opposite him and said hoarsely: "He and I... cough, I don't know him!
Yes, we talked on the phone, but we are just... just online friends. We have never met, only on the phone. Well, I run an izakaya. He happened to come to Karakura Town for something, so I invited him to be my guest, so I talked on the phone this morning..."
"How could this happen..."
"Yes, yes, I'll go over right away!"
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the two confused eyes around him and said in horror: "Something happened, something happened to Master Tsukishima...something big happened!
You... Miyuki, you continue to operate the izakaya and open up to outsiders. Gongshu, you go back to the hostel to work immediately. If you can't contact me in a short time... No, don't contact me, wait for me to find you, other things have nothing to do with you, don't worry about it!"
After giving a word, he staggered out of the izakaya, leaving Jixing and Komatoyo Miyuki alone.
The two looked at each other, and Komatoyo Miyuki said in panic: "It sounds like Tsukishima-sama... is dead? Was it done by those Shinigami?"
"It must be the Shinigami." Ji Xing nodded, stood up and said: "Then I will go back to the hostel first. If you need help, feel free to contact me, Sister Miyuki."
"Well..." Komatoyo Miyuki watched Ji Xing leave the izakaya and hang up the sign that said it was open for business.
This doesn't seem like a coincidence. Could Gongshu... be a Shinigami who infiltrated the Fullbringers? Did he find out something about me?
...
"Chad, when did you find out that I became a Shinigami?" On the other side, the atmosphere between Rukia, Ichigo and Chad became a little awkward.
They actually haven't figured out what happened yet. The two Fullbringers were obviously full of malice in the previous second, and then they suddenly evacuated as if they had received some signal?
This attack seemed to be to expose the secret between Ichigo and Chad. Ichigo was embarrassed for a long time before asking.
"Two days ago." Chad replied: "By chance."
"I see..." Ichigo scratched his head: "I'm sorry, mainly... I don't know how to explain it to you, it seems that the relationship between the Shinigami and the Fullbringer..."
"It's okay, I understand." Chad said: "I didn't know how to explain it to you before, so I kept it a secret from you after becoming a Fullbringer."
Ichigo exhaled lightly and reached out to Chad: "The current situation makes me feel relieved. I have been carefully hiding it from you, and I feel uncomfortable."
"Me too."
The two good friends held hands together.
They obviously never worried about the confrontation between Shinigami and Fullbringers, they just didn't know how to say it. Rukia looked at the two boys and thought: "Thank you for saving me, Chad.
But now I'm afraid we have to put other things aside. We have to figure out why a Fullbringer suddenly attacked us, Ichigo."
"Ah, and Chad." Ichigo said: "As a Fullbringer, he helped us. If the Fullbring organization knows about it, there will be trouble, right?"
Chad was also more concerned about Ichigo's safety: "When I was taught to practice Fullbring, the teacher introduced me to Shinigami, but only reminded me of our hostile state and asked me to be careful to conceal my identity. If I meet a Shinigami, stay away.
I haven't seen the two people who just launched the attack. They may be members of Special Operations Team X, which is a..."
He, who was usually taciturn, rarely said a lot, and the expressions of Ichigo and Rukia became more and more solemn. He only accepts elite forces assigned by high-level officials? If it's really them...
If you retreat after an accident this time, won't there be a steady stream of attacks from behind? !
Lucia's heart suddenly sank.
No, Soul Society needs to dispatch the 'Gotei Team 14' to guard against the Fullbringing Organization, which is definitely not something that Ichigo Sadatari and I, who have lost the power of the Shinigami, can resist!
One mistake and everyone may die!
Rukia gritted her teeth. Although she was still discussing with Ichigo and Chadari on the surface, she quietly made another decision in her heart.
Exposure has become a given.
I...I'm afraid I can't continue to be selfish and drag them down just to escape punishment.
…
Night, 21:30.
Rukia, who moved into Ichigo's house, quietly left the attic of his house while Ichigo was taking a shower, and rushed to Shishi Hotel under the cover of night.
Instead of entering through the front door, he reluctantly used his recovered strength to control the hang glider and boarded the rooftop of the hotel from the back, raising his hands in the air and waving them crosswise.
While waving, the body also rotates and makes two small jumps to ensure that as long as there are people around, it can attract the other party's attention.
But until she was so exhausted that she was panting, she didn't get any feedback. She couldn't help but frown slightly: Didn't Vice Captain Hiyori come today?
"Miss Lucia, haven't you already checked out? Why is it so dangerous to go to the top of the building?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, causing Lucia's expression to freeze suddenly. The opening of the story, which was like a horror story, made her forehead become covered with fine beads of sweat in an instant.
"I..." Lucia turned her head, and the person she saw was indeed Ji Xing. She was silent and explained with a dry laugh: "I'm used to living here, and I'm still a little reluctant to move out. And it suddenly occurred to me that I haven't left yet." I’ve seen the scenery on the roof of the hotel, so I stopped by to take a look. Does it cause any trouble to you?”
Ji Xing shook his head: "It doesn't bother me at all, but I thought you were looking for the Death Vice Captain. Turns out you were just looking at the scenery?"
"..."
Rukia's body stiffened even more, and she said with an innocent look on her face: "What Death? Vice-captain?"
"That's the little one you saw jumping around me and scolding me the morning after you moved in." Ji Xing compared Hiyori's height and said, "I'm afraid she won't have time to come here today."
Lucia instantly no longer had any luck. Did she actually find out my identity at that time? !
How stupid I am! I clearly know that this guy is the person that Vice-Captain Hiyori is watching, but because he judged that humans and animals are harmless a few days ago, he came here to throw himself into a trap! Is my identity exposed...
"The exposure of your identity has nothing to do with me." Ji Xing said: "You went to study in the same class as Chadoo. The school was mixed with people, and the god of death was showing the magic and the one who was hiding it. How dare you bet that the magic was not completed? The magician has seen you before?"
Rukia was silent.
Indeed, I made too many mistakes.
"So...are you going to kill me?"
Ji Xing nodded: "Sorry."
The next moment, he reached out and slid his hand on his coat, and a long sword was pulled out. Rukia immediately staggered back two steps, but she had almost no ability to resist after losing her ability to die!
The long sword passed over her body, and Lucia subconsciously closed her eyes, locked her neck, and waited in fear for death. However, after waiting for three seconds, the expected painful death did not come.
"I..." She opened her eyes in confusion.
"I'm just scaring you." Ji Xing said with a smile in front of him: "Why should I kill you? Is it because you dislike that idiot vice-captain for not really killing me? Go back early, don't worry about the Perfection Master who attacked you tonight "There is something wrong within the organization, and I probably won't be able to take care of you in the short term."
"..."
After narrowly escaping from death, Rukia felt that her back was covered with cold sweat, and she almost made a bigger embarrassment. She subconsciously wanted to grind her teeth. How could this guy... have a bad taste like the former captain Urahara Kisuke? !
Also... is there something wrong within the Perfectionist? Is this the reason why those two people suddenly evacuated?
"What on earth are you..."
"What? Aren't you happy if I don't kill you? If you really feel sorry for me, you can also call me 'Grandpa' with gratitude." Ji Xing said with a smile.
...What a mess!
Lucia's face darkened, she turned around and went downstairs from the ladder this time. When she came to the hotel door, Ji Xing was already at her post and said to her: "Guest, please go slowly. Welcome to come again."
For some reason, Lucia suddenly felt her pressure disappear and she felt relaxed.
…
On the other side, the two Perfectionists who drove away from Karakura Town and arrived in the next city had very heavy expressions.
Stopping in front of a three-story building, the two looked at each other, quickly stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
Soon the door was opened, and a strong man like a tea ferry stood across the door, making the two of them look happy and shout in unison: "Sir Ryuzai!"
"It's great that you are safe!" Mai Sanguan, who was wearing a silk ribbon, followed closely: "We originally accepted the mission to go to Karakura Town to investigate the Death God Kuchiki Rukia, but we were fighting with the target. At that time, I suddenly discovered some memory changes about Tsukishima-sama.
He seems to have inserted a passage in our memories that makes us feel particularly close to him. Although I don’t know why it failed, I want to tell you about this right away. I’m afraid he might...and this kind of thing may not be his alone..."
"Are you suspicious of the leader?" Hiraikage Ryuya asked calmly: "So you found me directly? Are you even worried that something bad will happen to me because of this?"
"...Yes!" Shanguan Wu responded, suddenly feeling that the response from the other party seemed a little too calm.
The companion next to her was also aware of it. A sudden pull allowed her to dodge a palm pushing from the opposite side, but she was pressed against her chest.
There was no time to show his despair and fear, and he disappeared in a flash, leaving no trace around him. Even the residual body heat disappeared, as if the whole person had never existed!
Shanguan Wu suddenly showed an unbelievable expression.
"Ryuzai...sir?!"
"Aren't you going to run away?"
"...You were the one who brought me out of that environment." Shangguan Wu was silent for a while, then said bitterly: "And if you are not trustworthy, then it means that Hidekuro Tsukishima's actions were With all those in power supporting and understanding, where can we escape?”
She responded with a punch.
There was no sound in front of the three-story building, as if no visitors had come. The fourth figure in Xcution, Ryuya Hiraikage, the 'Fist of Elimination', closed the door.
…
Somewhere, residence.
A white-haired old woman pressed the phone awkwardly and heard a voice coming from the other side.
"Kamako-sama! I'm sorry, I accidentally let Moji escape. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again."
"I know, I know." Chao Fei Luzi muttered in a hoarse voice: "Really, you are just trying to absorb the abilities of those guys, how easy would it be to just let the old woman curse them to death?"
She casually turned over a few cards in front of her and said: "It's in the back street. Oh, it's moving towards Karakura Town. It's smart. It seems that it wants to find the God of Death. You have to speed up."
"Yes!" The phone then hung up.
The old woman muttered something impolite, and another phone rang.
"Oh, the old woman can't sleep tonight."
The third person in Xcution, the ‘diviner’ Kako Asahi continues to divine the X members who are suspected of leaving the organization due to the failure of Tsukishima’s abilities.
…
Another place, residence.
The blond middle-aged man was lying lazily on the bed with his legs crossed, his hands dancing in front of his chest like a band conductor.
At the same time, pictures and scenes seemed to be playing directly in his mind.
"Why, why do you have to do this?!"
"ah--"
"Aren't we all companions?!"
Many Fullbringers who had Tsukishima's abilities unlocked and discovered that their hostility towards the Shinigami had no origin were hunted down and had their abilities taken away.
"Companion? Not a companion. The characteristics of the Perfection Technique determine that Xcution is just a fish pond, and we are all fish and shrimps in this fish pond.
Those who have just joined the organization and have perfect skills are ignorant shrimps who can only wait to be eaten. After becoming a guide or a member of Death is just causing some trouble.
The 13 of us have grown into big fish, and we can eat whoever we want. But big fish also come in different sizes. In the end, will there be one fish that eats up the entire fish pond and leaps out as a dragon? "
The second person in Xcution, ‘Conductor’ Iruma Toya, murmured excitedly.
…
In Naruki City, with her hair combed into an 'adult look', the leader of Xcution, Yasuki Natsumotohama, was making a call: "Has the God of Death already taken action? These guys reacted faster than expected.
I know, leave them alone, cut them off if they persist, and let them go if they only take a few people away. When everyone has digested the new power, the time to counterattack will come, and I will go to Karakura Town myself.
I'll take you...to kill all the Gods of Death! "
…
At the warehouse base, Liu Che Quanxi listened to the reports from all sides with a confused look on his face.
"Are these Perfectionists suddenly crazy?" Hiyori's curse expressed his inner thoughts.
What happened?
Suddenly there was something else that required me to run errands, so I immediately broke my promise... Sorry, there will be only one update in the underworld. Tomorrow... I should be able to do two updates.
The old man is getting older. He had to go to the hospital three times for a pacemaker. He was delayed for ten days, but he finally had the surgery tomorrow. Alas.
