Return of the Mask

"Vice Captain Gennai!"

"Hey, who is she? Why is someone calling her the vice-captain? There isn't such a vice-captain in the Guarding Team Thirteen, right?"

"Haven't you heard? It's the former vice-captain of the Second Division! The one who broke in with Lu Xun some time ago!"

"Eh?! Breaking in with Luka?"

"Run Lin'an?"

"Stupid! That's not Runlin Anla...it's the legendary former vice-captain of the second team who was supposed to die 100 years ago who looked very similar to her!"

"It's a long attributive sentence... Why do dead people appear here?"

"Who knows..."

"Why is she here?"

"By the way, the direction she's going...is the [-]th division, right?"

"Huh? Go to that weird place..."

"Sound Tree!"

Originally, Yinshu ignored all the whispers around her, but she didn't expect that someone rushed over and hugged her!

Buried in the chest, Yinshu's face flushed red suddenly, and he couldn't breathe.

"That... Matsumoto!"

"Ala, ala, is Yinshu shy?" Matsumoto smiled and let go of Yinshu, brushed his long brown curly hair, and said, "Obviously they are all women."

Yin Shu took a few steps back, panting, and looked at the woman in front of him speechlessly. "But no woman would greet others in this way, right? Speaking of which, have you always greeted Xiaobai like this?"

"Well, the captain would always refuse with an awkward look," Matsumoto looked up at the sky and shrugged, "Anyway, he's still a young boy."

"Even Uncle Chunshui can't bear your way of welcome." Yinshu said helplessly.

"Well, don't talk about this anymore," Matsumoto smiled and put his arm on Yinshu's shoulder, "I heard that Yinshu will also perform tasks in this world with us."

"Ah," Yin Shu stood still and said, too lazy to resist her behavior, "Are you going too?"

"Of course you have to participate in such an interesting event," Matsumoto said with his hand on his lower lip, "but if you want to join this action, what will you do with your body in this world?"

"I have found someone to help, but it is not clear whether the other party agrees or not."

"People?" Matsumoto was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Ah, is that Run Lin'an from Team [-]?"

"what."

"If it's her, she will definitely agree," Matsumoto said with a smile, "I've seen her before, and with her personality, she will definitely be very excited when she sees you."

"It's really exciting, but as for this decision..." Yinshu was silent.She still remembers her attitude towards Tomoki in her memory.She hates Tomoki, so please ask her to go back and stay in that body for a while, whether she will agree is still a question...

What's more, "a period of time" is only a vague term.The war with Aizen, or the war with this virtual circle, no one can say how long it will last.

"Forget it, it's rare to come back to Seireitei, come have a drink with me, Otoki?" Matsumoto suddenly changed the subject and said excitedly.

Yinshu shook her head and took her hand off her shoulder.

"I won't go, I still have something to do today."

"You can do other things tomorrow." Matsumoto said with a smile.

"No, I have to leave tomorrow," Yinshu said with a smile, "so I can finish it today."

"In this case..." Seeing Yinshu's resolute expression, Matsumoto said helplessly, "It seems that there is no other way." Flicking her hair, she glanced at the direction Yinshu was going, and said with a smile, "Look It’s really important to come.”

"Ah, it's very important." Yinshu said with a smile.

The smile on his lips faded, Matsumoto looked at Yinshu silently for a while, and finally took a step forward to her side, reaching out and patted her on the shoulder.

"Before tomorrow...won't you go see the captain?"

Yinshu was taken aback.

"Tomorrow... can't we see each other?"

Matsumoto smiled and said, "This is different. Tomorrow... Chimori is still in a coma in the fourth team. Although the captain looks the same, he can still feel his distraction occasionally."

"Sometimes the documents are approved with a very deep look. How can a child have such an expression?" Matsumoto shrugged, "I heard that you lived with the captain more than 100 years ago. If it was you ..." He looked at Yinshu with some hesitation, but Yinshu didn't turn his head back, with a calm expression.

"Well, how could one or both of them look preoccupied?" Matsumoto finally gave up and smiled helplessly.

Yinshu looked at her and said lightly: "Can't you understand? But you are the same, Matsumoto."

Matsumoto's movements froze.

She bowed her head in silence for a long time, and she bent the corners of her lips.

Yin Shu glanced at her with a smile, and said, "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."

"Ah... see you tomorrow, Yinshu."

"See you tomorrow."

Everyone has very important things. At this time, it is impossible to think back to the past, or take care of others, no matter who it is, whether it is her, Matsumoto, or Xiaobai.

Gradually approaching the [-]th Division, the people around gradually decreased.

It was completely dark, and there were lamps around.

As soon as Yinshu walked to the door of the [-]th Division, the door was opened.

A woman with the badge of the vice-captain of the [-]th Division stood in front of the door.

Yinshu raised his eyebrows.

"Already guessed that I would come?"

"The captain is in the captain's room, please follow me directly." After saying this without any ups and downs, the woman took a step back, turned around, and walked towards the twelfth division's dormitory.

Yinshu stood on the spot and looked at her silently for a while, and finally let out a sigh of relief and followed her, his hand clenched the Zanpakuto at his waist.

She had met Mayuri Nirvana 100 years ago, when he was just released from the maggot lair and could only do some research behind Kisuke Urahara.

Kisuke Urahara said that as long as he dies, he can take the position of the director of the Technology Development Bureau, or the captain of the [-]th Division.

Although to be the captain of the first team, you still have to pass the test of Captain Yamamoto and several other captains, but in the end, 100 years later, Yuri Yuri still took the position of the captain, and it feels more dangerous and disgusting than before. .

Yinshu didn't like him very much from before.It's just that she could ignore him 100 years ago, but now she has to take the initiative to find him. This uncomfortable feeling can be imagined.

Following the woman who introduced herself as Nie Yinmeng through many rooms, they finally came to a laboratory.

The door was opened, and there was no light inside, but the flickering screens were enough to illuminate the entire laboratory.

A figure sat in front of a huge screen, bowing his head and typing on the keyboard.

"team leader."

Nieyinmeng stepped aside and called out in a low voice.

Nirvana Mayuri was still typing on the keyboard, but there was no response.

Nie Yinmeng opened her mouth to call him again, but Yinshu reached out to stop her, raised her eyebrows and called, "Nie Yuli."

Hearing her voice, Nirvana Yuri finally stopped, turned slightly sideways, and turned her eyes around to look at her.

"Ah, you are here, Gennai Yinshu." A hoarse and weird voice sounded.

"What kind of dress are you wearing?" Yinshu raised his eyebrows and looked at the blue decoration around his neck, and couldn't help laughing, "Have you lost your mind after being defeated by Ishida?"

"You really know how to speak." Hearing Yinshu mention Ishida, his voice was filled with imperceptible resentment. "With that kind of strength, it's just a piece of cake to defeat him."

"But in the end it was an easy loss."

Nirvana Yuri didn't make a sound, but narrowed her eyes and looked at her.

"Why did the former vice captain of the second team come to me today? You must know that I am very busy." After speaking, he turned around and continued typing on the keyboard.

"You have been waiting for me to come to you, haven't you? Why, you don't welcome the experimental products that come to your door?" Yinshu said lightly.

The sound of typing on the keyboard never stopped.

After a while, the voice stopped, and Nie Yuri said bluntly, "Go out, Yinmeng."

"Yes, Captain." After speaking, Nie Yinmeng opened the door and walked out.

Only Otoki and Nirvana Mayuri were left in the huge laboratory.

Yin Shu found a place and sat down, and said bluntly: "The captain told me not to come to you before I was mentally prepared, but I heard some interesting things today, and I don't think Kisuke Urahara has time to deal with it yet. This kind of thing, so I came to you directly."

"Huh, Sifengyuan Yeyi?" Nie Yuli snorted coldly.

"You guys already know about going to the world this afternoon, right? You should also know what I want to say, right?"

Nirvana Mayuri rolled her eyeballs, then the corners of her mouth curled up stiffly.

"Ah, what a good test subject."

"If you want to get something for the experiment from me, don't think about it now," Yinshu said coldly, "I'm just here to figure out some things."

"There is never a free lunch in the world." Nirvana Yuri turned around and continued typing on the keyboard.

"Didn't you just want to do an experiment yourself?" Yinshu sneered, "Or you didn't understand the meaning of that bad face yourself? You have to do an experiment on my body to find out what's going on?"

Nirvana snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Don't. You underestimate me, Gennai Otoki, I am the director of the Technology Development Bureau and the captain of the [-]th Division. There is nothing I can't research, and don't think about it like this. Inspire me to tell you the results of my research."

Yinshu frowned.

"According to the data, you are the only Grim Reaper who has this interesting mutation so far. I am really interested in your soul. What factors can cause Grim Reaper's soul to undergo such a mutation? And the power that this mutation can produce Where is the new peak? Or is there no upper limit?" Speaking of this, the voice of Nirvana Yuri, who is a researcher, couldn't help but get excited.

"When all gods of death can undergo such mutations, what will the world look like in the end? Will there still be ghosts in the world? Will there still be gods of death?"

"—Even if this kind of experiment is dangerous," Nirvana Yuri narrowed his eyes and glanced at Toneki after a pause, "but it's this kind of dangerous experiment that is interesting enough."

Yinshu couldn't help but sink his face, and sneered: "Dangerous? Does it mean that the Shinigami who has been subjected to this kind of experiment will be in danger? Then what is the difference between you and Aizen Soyousuke?"

"Aizen?" Nirvana Yuri sneered, "He's just a guy who absorbed all the evil in the God of Death's nature, otherwise you thought that the act of hunting Quincy and conducting experiments back then was a technology development bureau. Did you do it?"

Yinshu looked at him coldly, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Glancing at Yinshu, Nirvana Mayori chuckled lightly.

"You are one of the lucky ones who have been experimented with, because your soul has undergone a mutation, and you are still alive and seem to be very healthy."

Knowing that he had reached an important point, Yinshu frowned and stared at him closely.

"So the danger you said no longer exists in me?"

"Doesn't exist?" As if laughing at Otoki's naive idea, Nirvana Yuri turned around and tapped the keyboard, and said while typing, "Speaking of which, you can make an exchange with me."

"Exchange?" Yinshu raised his eyebrows.

"Ah, exchange," Nirvana Yuri's hoarse voice was twisted with excitement, "whenever you die, eat this thing." He turned around and pinched a piece of what looked like a chip in his hand.

Yinshu looked at him.

"As long as you eat this thing, even if you die, the information in your body can be preserved," said Yuri Yuri, looking at the chip in his hand with a pity, "Although you didn't directly use your body for experiments Works, but..."

"Never even think about doing disgusting experiments with my body before I was alive." Yin Shu laughed.

Nirvana snorted coldly, then turned around and tapped the keyboard: "As long as you agree, I can tell you the results of these days' research."

Yinshu got up quickly, walked to him, took the chip from his hand, raised his eyebrows, and put it away.

The next second, she raised her head, and a lot of information had already appeared on the big screen.

She folded her arms around her chest and frowned.

"There is a certain boundary between Shinigami and Hollow, and the Bengyu researched by Urahara Kisuke 100 years ago is an existence that can break this boundary," Nirvana Yuri's voice sounded slowly, "but this conclusion is extremely ridiculous."

"The ghost of death is a mask, and the ghost of death is a face. I think you can know the difference between the two. No matter how close the two postures are, there are still differences, and these differences are their original identities. symbol."

"Reaper can't be Pomian, and Hollow can't be Masked. That boundary still exists, but Masked and Pomian are closer to that boundary than Shinigami and Hollow."

Yinshu frowned, while listening to Nirvana Yuri's explanation, while looking at the materials, he understood little by little, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually rose.

"And you," Nirvana Yuri suddenly brought the topic to her, "the fake mask is the same as the broken mask, and the Reiatsu is more distorted than the fake mask and the broken mask. In this case, you have Proof that it has completely crossed the boundary between Shinigami and Hollow."

Seeing that he didn't seem to intend to continue, Yinshu didn't take his eyes off the screen, and asked with a frown: "Then what about the so-called danger?"

"Dangerous?" Nirvana Yuri glanced at her, "Ah, the existence of completely crossing this boundary is actually not allowed, this is the balance. Therefore, your soul is now in a very unstable state , maybe it will dissipate at some point."

Yinshu was taken aback.

"...by yourself?"

"Ah," Nirvana Yuri rolled her eyeballs and said in a weird tone, "Without any external force, she will disappear by herself, but how she will disappear is not something that can be researched from the current data. "

Yin Shu's head was blank, and he was stunned.
