Chapter 335 The Real Goal
Tang Lin proved that he was not a Hollow, and Kurosaki Ichigo, a somewhat nervous person, quickly recognized this friend. After all, if Tang Lin hadn't come to help, Kuchiki Rukia would have been taken away.
After explaining the cause and effect clearly, Kurosaki Ichigo also understood that Rukia Kuchiki's current situation was not optimistic. Jinglingting will continue to send people to continue the pursuit. If they can't find a way, there will be no fun.
"Let's go find Urahara Kisuke, he should have a way to solve this problem." Kuchiki Rukia suggested.
This suggestion was exactly what Tang Lin wanted. He had wanted to find Urahara Kisuke's grocery store from the beginning, but he had never found it.
Tang Lin followed the two of them and turned a few corners. In a very inconspicuous alley, he saw the sign of Urahara Store and the man in the striped hat.
"Hey, Miss Kuchiki, it's great that you are safe and sound." Urahara Kisuke said enthusiastically.
"Thank you for your concern, but..." Rukia rolled up her sleeves and punched Urahara Kisuke in the stomach.
Urahara Kisuke jumped back exaggeratedly, escaped several meters away, and then said strangely: "Miss Kuchiki, do you mean to thank me?"
Rukia Kuchiki said angrily: "Didn't I tell you to mind your own business? Do you know that if you let Ichigo come to save me, you will kill him?"
Kisuke Urahara said calmly: "Aren't you back with Ichigo Kurosaki now? It seems that you are very lucky that the captain did not take action this time."
But Rukia Kuchiki said: "No, Brother Byakuya and Renji came together, so I said that if Ichigo appears there, he will definitely die."
Hearing Kuchiki Rukia's words, Urahara Kisuke also showed a solemn expression and asked: "If this is the case, why can you come back safely?"
"Thanks to this, Mr. Himura Kenshin." Rukia Kuchiki introduced Urahara Kisuke.
"Himura Kenshin?" Urahara Kisuke seemed to have just seen the man next to the two of them wearing a red kendo uniform, with long fluffy hair and a cross scar on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Urahara." Tang Lin also greeted happily.
Urahara Kisuke looked up and down at this strange-looking man, and he was extremely confused in his heart, because just now he regarded this man as a lifeless doll, and thought it was some prop brought by Kuchiki Rukia from home.
It does not have the characteristics of a human soul, does not have the spiritual pressure of a Shinigami, and is not a Hollow, but it moves freely, and there is no difference between it and a real human being.
No, there is still a difference. There is a hazy energy in this person, but it is obviously different from the spirit energy that Urahara Kisuke knows.
Out of curiosity, Urahara Kisuke asked insinuatingly how Byakuya Kuchiki was defeated, and he became even more confused. Although Kuchiki Byakuya's swastika ability is not a secret in Soul Society, no one really knows the details of the injury-free circle.
"Mr. Himura, do you use the ability to predict the future?" Urahara Kisuke asked curiously.
"Well, I know something that others don't know. Don't you think it's strange about Lucia's situation?" Tang Lin asked back.
Urahara Kisuke lowered the brim of his hat, covered his eyes and asked: "Rukia's situation? What do you mean?"
"Rukia's own strength is not bad, how could she be seriously injured by such a weak Hollow, forcing her to transfer her power to Kurosaki Ichigo. And Kurosaki Ichigo, who has just gained the ability of the Shinigami, even if he is extremely talented, It is impossible to kill a Hollow of that level. This situation itself is very unreasonable, unless the accident was originally man-made."
Tang Lin's words made Rukia Kuchiki look thoughtful. This girl has the ability to instantly kill low-level Arrancars. A big Hollow like Killian should also be able to kill her easily. The serious injuries suffered before cannot be explained by a word of carelessness.
"Mr. Himura, since you said it was man-made, you should know who is behind the scenes, right?" Rukia Kuchiki has great trust in Tang Lin's "precognition" ability. She can even predict other people's swastika flaws in advance. He must have foreseen this situation.
"I'm not completely sure about this yet. The identity of the person I suspect is a bit special. I can't name him without conclusive evidence."
Tang Lin let it slide, and then said to Urahara Kisuke: "Mr. Urahara, I have some information about the mastermind behind the scenes, and I want to confirm it with you."
Urahara Kisuke was silent for a while, then put on a smile and said to Tang Lin: "Of course it's no problem, Mr. Himura will come in. Miss Kuchiki, you should go back with Ichigo first. Since your elder brother has lost, there should be no more time. Someone has been sent. But you should be careful, there may be more than one captain coming to arrest you next time."
Rukia Kuchiki felt that the two men in front of her were mysterious and must be hiding something from her. However, the other man was unwilling to say that one of them was her savior, and it was difficult for her to reveal it.
Kuchiki Rukia pulled the unconscious Kurosaki Ichigo away, leaving the two of them in the grocery store.
When the two of them were far away, Urahara Kisuke said: "Mr. Himura, I wonder what you want to tell me?"
Like Urahara Kisuke, Tang Lin didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "The target of the mastermind behind the scenes is Rukia, or in other words, the Bengyu in Rukia's body."
Upon hearing the word "Bengyu", Urahara Kisuke's expression changed.
When he was still the director of the Technology Development Bureau, Urahara Kisuke invented many things, but if there was any invention that was the most magical and dangerous, it would have to be Bengyoku.
This is a small black ball only the size of a lychee, but it possesses incredible power.
As we all know, human beings have limits, so some people will stop being human in order to exceed the limits. Likewise, Death also has limits.
The Shinigami can master four combat abilities, slashing, white fighting, footwork, and Kidō. Zanjutsu is the technique of using a Zanpakutō, Hakuta is a close-up hand-to-hand combat technique, footwork is Shunpo which is easy to learn but difficult to master, and Kidō is about converting spiritual pressure energy into different spell effects and releasing them.
These four abilities all have their limits.
Zanpakutō only has Hakkake and Swastika, and the increase in spiritual pressure is about five to ten times. Maybe a genius can break the upper limit of this increase a little, but it won't be too different. Therefore, the ceiling of combat effectiveness in Shinigami is the captain of each division. Most of them can master the skills of Zanpakutō Swastika.
Once you reach the peak of these skills, it will be very difficult for Death to continue to progress. In this case, the life span of the God of Death is measured in thousands of years. The feeling of being stuck in the same place day after day without seeing the possibility of progress can lead to despair.
In order to break through the limits, a genius once thought about a question: If the god of death was given the ability of his arch-rival Xu, would he be able to break through his own limitations?
