Return of the Mask

"Hey, Gennai Otoki! What the hell did you do last night? Hey, you can sleep standing up in broad daylight!"

Yin Shu froze for a moment, and slowly opened his eyes.

The field of vision was blurred, and a noisy voice kept ringing in his ears.

After a while, the vision gradually became clear.

Yinshu pursed his lips, watching a long blond haired Hirako standing in front of her, raising his eyebrows, opening and closing his mouth to say something.

It was indeed broad daylight.

The scorching sun was shining high in the sky, and people were coming and going around.

This is on a road in the Seiring Court.

"Look at the source, I really didn't sleep well yesterday." A familiar voice sounded.

Otoki looked to her right, and saw Urahara Kisuke standing there, with Hiyori and Nirvana Mayuri at his side.

Seeing Otoki looking at him expressionlessly, Urahara Kisuke was stunned, and then smiled awkwardly: "...What's wrong, Gennai?"

"...No," Yinshu let out a breath, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile, having understood his current situation, "Where did you just talk about?"

She has already entered the illusion that was arranged for her.

It's a happy development, only in this way can she kill Xu, although it's a pity that she can't kill Aizen.

If Tōsen were her enemy, he would die sooner or later, but when seeing that scene, Otoki couldn't help but think of herself.

Even though Dongxian had to stay with Aizen for so long, he was finally killed by Aizen so decisively.They are the same for Aizen, use them if you want to use them, and discard them if you want to discard them.

As soon as he saw that Dongxian was going to be killed like this, Yinshu remembered himself who was used by Aizen so much at that time, and was angry for a while, and couldn't help but wanted to cut him.

Well, but now that we've come here, it doesn't make any sense to think about that kind of thing anymore, what we have to do now is to get out from here, of course, under the condition of killing that Xu.

"Tsk, this is not a funny thing, Gennai Otoki," Hirako raised his eyebrows, and said, "Well, that's all I know about the specific content, anyway, it's what Captain Unohana said , I don’t know exactly what that means.”

Yinshu raised his eyebrows: "Oh... did you say something? I'm sorry I didn't hear it."

"..."

Hirako rolled up his sleeves on both sides, stared at the twin dead fish eyes and said, "Are you trying to fight me, Gennai Yinshu?"

"That's a good suggestion. Hey, can I repeat what you just said after defeating you?"

"Gennai...Captain Hirako..." Kisuke Urahara smiled wryly, wanting to stop them from fighting in front of all the members of the Soul Court.

"Vice-captain Gennai seems to be very interested in that matter," a gentle voice sounded from the side, "you can ask about the specific situation after the ninth team returns, although this case of the disappearance of the soul is very bizarre, the people involved The number of souls is also huge, but since the ninth squad and the advance team are dispatched, there must be a result soon."

Yin Shu moved his eyes away from Hirako's face and behind him.

Aizen Soyousuke was holding a stack of documents, wearing an ordinary Shiba outfit, with a vice-captain badge on his arm, standing aside and said with a smile.

After Yinshu stared at him for a few seconds, he said meaningfully: "Oh? The advance team and the ninth team? Since the advance team has gone, why send the ninth team? Isn't this a waste of resources? Are you still willing to do this kind of work?"

"Idiot," Pingzi frowned, and said softly, "the advance team has been there for so long and there is no news... who knows what has happened. If Seireitei doesn't send another team, there will be someone in a few days." Say in which area of ​​Liuhun Street you found the Shinigami's Shiba outfit."

"Really?" He closed his eyes and exhaled, Yinshu shrugged his shoulders, "Then it seems that we can only wait for news from Kensai." Although she knew that when the news reached Seireitei, everything should be Everything that shouldn't have happened has happened.

This was the first day she knew about the disappearance of souls in Liuhun Street.

She remembers this day clearly.

Because that night, she experienced the most terrifying nightmare in her life.

And as a person who has been virtualized several times and has a mission, what she can do now is to do what she has done according to the development in memory, and then find the virtual existence in various details and kill it.

After parting ways with Hirako and Urahara Kisuke on the street, Otoki walked slowly back to the second team's team building.

It was dusk by then.

There were not many people in the team dormitory, and the lamps in the compartment were already on, casting warm yellow light on the paper door.

Opening the door of the captain's room, Yin Shu walked in, sat down in the seat where Ye Yi often sat according to memory, flipped through the documents on it, and then took out a document and read it carefully.

Although 100 years have passed, she still remembers the contents of this document clearly, so she just glanced at it in a half-boredom.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the door was finally opened and Ye Yi walked in.

"Where did you go, Tone Tree?" Ye said as he took off Captain Haori and threw it aside, "I've been looking for you for a long time."

Yinshu put down the file and said with a smile, "Is there anything the captain can do with me?"

Ye Yi stopped stretching, and a pair of cat pupils glanced at her thoughtfully, then looked away, and said as if casually mentioning it: "No, it's nothing. It's just that you know about the case of disappearing souls, right?" ?Because of this matter, the thirteenth squad has been extremely busy these days, and Urahara Kisuke's adjutant has also been dispatched. By the way, it's called Hiyori, and you usually know her quite well, right?"

Yinshu nodded.

Hiyori has already rushed to the scene of the incident at this time, and the captain meeting will be held soon, Hirako and the others will be sent to support, she will run to the forest by herself because of anxiety, Kisuke Urahara and Tetsusai will also be together rush there.

She was fully aware of what happened after that, but she couldn't change it.

History is always galloping forward, but only an unlucky person like her will experience that feeling of powerlessness again.

While thinking, Otoki played with his belt silently.

"Yinshu." Yeyi's voice sounded, with a seriousness that was not usually there.

Yinshu raised his head and looked at Yeyi.

The pair of eyes that were exactly the same as in memory looked at her sharply.

"A lot of people may be injured this time, and some people may even die, and who among these people is anyone's guess. No matter what, you must obey my orders and don't act recklessly."

Yinshu smiled and nodded.

At that time, she also nodded obediently, but then sneaked out when Ye Yi held the captain's meeting.

No one can say anything about life.

Just like Ye Yi said so firmly at this time that "someone may be injured or even sacrificed", but he didn't want almost all of them to be killed in the end.

When night fell completely, she was the only one left in the captain's room.

She stood up slowly, walked to the door, and moved the door away.

The moonlight shone in, and there was silence outside the house.

Yinshu touched his face subconsciously.

100 years ago now, she never imagined that one day she would wear a virtual mask on her face.

Putting down her hands, she took a deep breath, stretched her waist, and supported the Zanpakuto at her waist, then walked out of the house, closed the door behind her, turned around, and walked towards the side of the corridor.

She slowly did what she had done according to her memory.

Walk out of the team building of the second team, and meet Suifeng at the door of the team building.She asked her what she was doing so late, she said the moon is fine, she just wanted to go for a walk.

Then she walked slowly along the path of Seireitei, there seemed to be a smell of blood in the air, she thought maybe it was just her illusion, but her heart was beating uncomfortably.

She walked slowly, with her head lowered, thinking whether to go out to support regardless of Ye Yi's warning.

But since the captain's meeting was held, the captain will definitely send someone to help, so what does she need to worry about?

What is she afraid of?

Pingzi has always said that her intuition is very accurate, to the point that sometimes people want to beat her up.

She thought that Pingzi would tell the truth sometimes, and at this time she also wanted to beat herself up a few times.

Then she raised her head subconsciously.

The team building of the Fifth Division just covered the moon, and she saw a person walking in the corridor silently holding a stack of documents, his body hidden in the shadows.

She looked at him suspiciously for a long time, and then slowly opened her eyes wide - because the man wore the vice-captain badge on his arm.

However, that person was not Aizen Soyousuke, but the bald Grim Reaper she often saw around Hirako recently.

She was terrified, but the man turned his head and looked at her at this moment.

He looked at her blankly for a long time, and finally moved his eyes away from her and behind her.

She turned around abruptly, only to see two inspecting team members bowing slightly to the man and her.

The man nodded, turned around, and left.

Her hands and feet were cold, although she was silent, she had already made a decision in her heart.

Yinshu kept reminiscing, and finally stopped on the path facing the team building of the fifth team.

Looking up, I saw that bald head just passing through the corridor.

She smiled sarcastically, raised her hand and shouted: "Good evening, Vice Captain Aizen!"

The man froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at her suspiciously.

Yinshu said with a smile: "Are you still busy at this late hour? In the future, I will urge Pingzi to do more work!"

The man forced a smile and nodded at her.

Yin Shu put down his hand, watched the figure of the man disappear into the corner of the corridor, and turned around.

Smiling, she disappeared in place.

"……what happened?"

In the ruins, everyone stared blankly at Yinshu who suddenly froze all over.

Kinoshita Jiro and Run Lin'an, who were being treated in the distance, stopped their work and looked at the people standing still not far away.

"……vice captain?"

Her gaze lost focus, Zanpakutō fell to the ground, and a strange Reiatsu wrapped around her like a snake.

Hitsugaya held his breath slightly, and the moment he saw her disappear, he clenched his Zanpakutō, stepped in front of her, and swung the knife to block her blade!

"Yinshu!" He roared her name in a deep voice.

However, the other party could no longer hear his voice.

Pingzi frowned and looked at Yinshu, "tsk", then looked at Aizen who was unmoved.

"You've expected this situation a long time ago, right?" He asked coldly, his eyes resting on the smile on his lips.

"Ah, maybe there will be more interesting developments." Aizen said with a smile without looking back.

In the next second, everyone was shocked.

Many cracks appeared in the sky, and from those cracks, many ghosts emerged and gathered towards the place where Yinshu stood.

"After crossing that line, is it evolution to Xu...?" Shusui Jingle sighed slightly after closing his eyes, and raised his hand to pull the bamboo hat, but suddenly realized that the bamboo hat had been blown by the wind during the battle Go, the hand is there.

Hitsugaya looked in shock at the surrounding Xu who kept gathering towards them, and suddenly heard something, and turned his head.

Under the broken mask, those lips moved and said something.

Hitsugaya opened his eyes wide in astonishment.

In the next second, the Zanpakuto in Yinshu's hand slashed at him!

Under the night, the moon was gradually blocked by thick clouds.

Otoki's Zanpakuto firmly blocked Kenxi's fist.

"Sound Tree..." Hiyori looked at her in shock.

Behind him, scattered footsteps sounded.

Everyone has arrived, and the nightmare is about to begin.
