Chapter 638 Soul and Spirit

"Can I assume you are negotiating with me?" Hongjiang asked unkindly. Seeing his gloomy look, Akin had no doubt that his captain would be attacked by the other party if he gave a bad answer.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri closed his eyes and shook his head, "Sure enough, you are too stupid to understand what people say at this time, so I'll just keep it simple and clear."

"You have completely pinned your hopes for the captain's survival here, but although it sounds bad, you and I both know that we have to save him..." Kurotsuchi Mayuri wanted to say it was impossible, but considering the possibility of irritating the other party, he had no choice but to change to a relatively euphemistic statement, "It's very difficult to save him."

"Although the group of Quincy has temporarily retreated, they will definitely come again, right?"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri spread his hands helplessly and said, "I need to make my laboratory as prepared as possible for the next battle. This is something the captain will definitely agree with, right?"

"But if you can't get what you want here, you will raze this place to the ground , I will never allow this to happen. Calm down and think about it. If the captain is still conscious, will he allow you to run around freely now? "

He pointed to the Arrancar next to Ichimaru Gin behind him, "Of course I won't hide it from you. You do have materials that interest me, but at this time I can still distinguish between the important and the unimportant."

Kuromaru Mayuri said, turning his wrist and pointing his index finger at Hongjiang, "So all I need is a plan that can convince me and yourself. If there is no such thing, I will never put an uncontrollable bomb in my laboratory!"

Hongjiang knew what Kuromaru Mayuri was really thinking, but he had nothing to refute. Try to think about it. If he confirmed the death of the old man Shan here, what he would do would be unpredictable.

But at this time he had to express his attitude. He forced himself to be as calm as possible, raised his hand and said, "I promise..."

Before he finished speaking, Urahara stretched out his hand to interrupt him. Hongjiang looked at him in confusion, only to see Urahara patted his shoulder and said softly, "Leave it to me."

"What you want is a practical plan, right, Mr. Kuro."

Kuro Mayuri's eyes slanted, and he seemed to be a little skeptical and asked, "Do you have a plan?"

"I guess so. Of course, if I can refer to your opinion, I think I will be more confident."

These words made Kuro Mayuri feel certain. When comfortable, "Then tell me."

"To put it bluntly, the problem we are facing now is how to prevent the captain's soul from disintegrating."

"Stop!" Kurotsuchi Mayuri interrupted, "With such an injury, we can't even be sure that the captain's soul is still there. In the static recording, he has no consciousness at all. The situation is not as optimistic as you say."

"Okay, then according to what you think, the situation is very bad. It is very likely that the captain's soul is almost gone." Urahara said, and then changed the subject, "But this is a static recording that was made almost at the same time as the captain was stabbed, so his soul must still be remnant. I think you have to agree with this. Mr. Nirvana."

Hongjiang also nodded, "I can guarantee this."

"Okay, but the situation is still very bad."

"That's right, but when you know the problem, you will have an idea to solve it." Urahara said seriously: "In fact, something similar has happened before, right?"

Kurohara Mayuri searched quickly in his brain, and finally said uncertainly: "Are you talking about the disappearance of souls in the past?"

Seeing Urahara nodded, Kurohara Mayuri hurriedly shook his head and said: "These are two completely different concepts. At the beginning, the souls of the refugees in Rukongai could not be maintained. You wanted to prevent their souls from collapsing through the artificial body, and then preserve their souls. Soul. This time, the spirit body was greatly damaged, and a large number of souls have dissipated. There is a huge difference between the two! "

Urahara said slowly: "But there is one difference you didn't mention. At the beginning, they were all refugees with weak spirits and no spiritual power. This time we are going to save the captain-general, whose powerful spirit body and terrifying spiritual power are probably unmatched in the Soul Society!"

Kurohara Mayuri was silent. This was indeed a problem he had not considered just now. When the refugees disappeared in Rukongai, the Technology Development Bureau initially thought that it was some strange disease that caused the refugees' spirit bodies to be unable to maintain.

Therefore, Urahara developed the artificial body based on the artificial body he developed. What he hoped was that after discovering refugees with signs of illness, he could put their spirit bodies into the artificial body, so that even if their spirit bodies collapsed, their souls would have a place to stay.

Now the captain-general's spirit body has been fatally injured and his soul has dissipated, but due to the static recording, it should not be completely disintegrated.

From this perspective, the first step to save the captain is to prevent his soul from disintegrating, which is consistent with the idea of ​​dealing with the disappearance of the soul.

But this is only the first step. Maintaining the tiny soul that only exists in the imagination is not considered a cure. If they want to save the captain, the next problem they encounter is how to restore the other party's disintegrated soul.

This is one of the ultimate topics in Soul Society. Creating souls is also one of the topics that Mayuri Kurotsuchi specializes in. After all, such an ability is close to the ability of the creator.

As far as he knows, Urahara has never done any research in this regard. "Even if you want to preserve the captain's only soul by creating a prosthetic body, you are just deceiving yourself."

No, he also mentioned the captain's spirit and spiritual power. Thinking of this, Mayuri Kurotsuchi continued to guess: "Do you think that a strong spirit and spiritual power can restore the soul?"

"As expected of Mr. Kurotsuchi, you can think of this."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyes turned, "Don't think you can get away with it by saying something nice. This is just your guess. The soul is an elusive thing. This is not a plan, but just a guess and an attempt."

Urahara spread his hands and said helplessly: "Yes, this is just a guess."

It is difficult to fundamentally deceive Mayuri Kurotsuchi, but similarly, sometimes as long as there is a certain theoretical basis, the other party will also accompany you on adventures.

"Although it's just a guess, it has some basis."

Urahara said, holding up a finger, "First, let's use the concept of lifespan for now. The lifespan of a Shinigami is obviously longer than that of a refugee living in Rukongai, and lifespan in Soul Society is simply the dissipation of the soul."

"That's largely because their weak spirits are not enough to protect their spirits for a long time, and with no spiritual power, the decline of their spirits is inevitable." Kurotsuchi Mayuri crossed his arms and exposed the truth mercilessly.

Urahara was not angry, but nodded in agreement.

"You are right. A strong spirit and sufficient spiritual power complement each other and provide a safe haven for fragile souls. This is one of the reasons why artificial bodies can be used for treatment, in order to stabilize the spirit of the god of death."

Then he changed the subject, "But are spirits and spiritual power really just a place for souls to live? The source of spiritual power and spirits should also be the soul."

"So, I think the two should be a complementary relationship."

"And if this is the case, a strong soul can drive a strong spiritual power. Then, can a strong spirit and spiritual power feed back to a fragile soul?"
