Chapter 553: A High-Profile but Easily Forgotten Senior
After a night of conversation, Hongjiang and the other two finally formulated a preliminary action plan.
Urahara stayed in the real world, combined the past and possible new information in the future, and started research and investigation on the space where the Invisible Empire was located.
Yoruichi was mainly responsible for connecting, such as trying to try with Isshin to see if he could get new information from Ishida Ryugen. Of course, the possibility of this was almost negligible.
So, she was more responsible for running errands and assisting Urahara in some things that needed to be done personally.
As for Hongjiang, he was the most useless at this time when research was needed to overcome technical difficulties, but this did not mean that he could ignore everything. Not to mention the distant ones, the old senior who was easily overlooked needed him to visit.
Speaking of the old senior, Hongjiang was still a little amused.
The most obvious old senior in the Soul Society Gotei 13 must be the captain-general, Old Man Yama, but it was really difficult to get him to cooperate with their actions.
There was another old senior who was easily overlooked, that was Unohana Retsu, who had a kind face on weekdays and did not have a strong presence among the captains.
Not many people know about the true identity of Sister Hua, but Hong Jiang knows it very well. As the first generation Kenpachi, she may not be able to talk about the history of Soul Society, but at least she is half of the history. She is definitely one of the witnesses of the battle with Yhwach.
Let’s not talk about Sister Hua’s orders all the time. The secrets she is willing to tell are definitely the secrets that the old man wants people to know. Even if she is really convinced, it is estimated that she will only mention the original battle, which is not very helpful at the moment.
Hong Jiang and the other two know that finding the enemy is the most important thing at this moment, and in this regard, Sister Hua’s help is probably not as good as Hong Jiang.
But besides these two people, is there anyone else who is an old senior?
Don’t say it, there is really an unexpected guy, who has a strong presence but many people will forget how long he has lived.
At least after Urahara rejected Sister Hua and slowly spit out this name, Hong Jiang couldn’t help but slap his head hard.
How could I forget this guy!
"You are so free that you can stay here for three days?" Some sharp and sarcastic voices sounded, interrupting Hongjiang's thoughts. The person who spoke was the old senior who was forgotten and annoyed by him - Kurotsuchi Mayuri.
In terms of his seniority in the Gotei 13, Kurotsuchi Mayuri has only been the captain for a hundred years. It is easy to classify his existence and the time he joined the Gotei 13 together, but this is really a big mistake.
According to the memory of his previous life, Kurotsuchi Mayuri and the creator of the Death Hagaku, Shutara Senjumaru, had worked together. The name of Shutara was passed down in the Soul Society, and he existed more as the highest-level martial law Shutara. Senjumaru's name was almost forgotten.
Although it is not certain that Shutara Senjumaru and the old man Yama are contemporaries, at least he has been promoted to the Zero Division for a thousand years. Therefore, it is very likely that Kurotsuchi Mayuri has experienced the war with Yhwach.
This old senior who is easily overlooked is the most likely and powerful assistant that Urahara believes they have.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's look was still strange. Although he still kept the headdress that looked like an Egyptian pharaoh when he went to Hueco Mundo, the vertical black and white stripes on his face were now horizontal. The white and white stripes of his eyes almost merged together, making his eyes look like two soybeans, which made people feel a little funny.
There was not much anger on his face, but his voice was full of impatience: "Whether you have something to do or not, leave immediately. I don't have time to accompany you to have fun!"
"We are all old acquaintances. Don't be so formal, hehe." Hongjiang smiled and said unnaturally: "It's not that I'm bored. This time I really have something important to find you."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's yellow eyes looked up and down at Hongjiang. When has this kid been so polite to him? It seems that he really has something to ask him, but there is no need to think about it. It must be extremely boring!
"I don't want to hear any boring things..."
"Interesting, I promise that this matter will definitely interest you!" Hongjiang interrupted quickly.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi showed a hint of displeasure on his face, and said in a stern voice: "Then I won't listen to it. What you find interesting must be even more boring. Get out of my sight immediately."
After that, Mayuri Kurotsuchi turned around and walked towards his laboratory. Seeing this, Hongjiang quickly stepped to his side and whispered in his ear: "It's about Yhwach."
Hearing this, Mayuri Kurotsuchi showed a somewhat surprised and slightly suspicious expression. After seeing Hongjiang nodded in affirmation, he didn't say much, but pointed to his laboratory and asked to go in and talk.
"Where did you know the name of Yhwach?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi asked impatiently after arriving at the closed laboratory.
"You don't need to worry about the source of the information. The fact that I can say this name is enough to prove that I am not joking."
A kid like Hongjiang really shouldn't know this name. After all, there is no written record of everything about Yhwach in the Soul Society.
But it was not his style to not investigate the source of the news. Kurotsuchi Mayuri's yellow eyes turned, but he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said unhappily, "So what do you know? Tell me now!"
"Yhuhabach is not dead." Hiroe didn't beat around the bush, but Kurotsuchi Mayuri took it for granted. He had no choice but to continue, "Moreover, he created a Quincy force in a very secret space. Remember the destruction of the 10th Division and the Goorisho? They did it."
"Not surprising. I never thought that the idiot Shiba Isshin could break through the Goorisho without making any noise." Kurotsuchi Mayuri crossed his hands in front of him, "But you came to me, so you probably don't have any substantial evidence, right?"
Hiroe smiled bitterly, and told him about the prophecy of Yhuhabach, saying, "Yhuhabach will definitely come back, but as you said, we don't have any definite evidence, so we can't report to the old man."
"So?"
"We need your help."
Kutsuchi Mayuri rolled his eyes. He didn't doubt what Hiroe said. He even raised his vigilance against Quincies again after Ishida Uryu invaded the Soul Society as a travel disaster.
For this reason, he first found the captain, hoping to continue his research on the Quincy, but was rejected by the other party.
He also went to Hongjiang, but naturally he was rejected, and he was angry for a long time.
Unexpectedly, one of the people who had rejected him at that time now took the initiative to find him, which was really ridiculous.
When Kuroda Mayuri thought of this, a strange smile slowly appeared on his face.
Since you took the initiative to ask for help this time, you are ready to give up those little ghosts in your hands, right?
