Chapter 173

Volume 1: 105, Imperial Knights

The wind on the rooftop was very noisy.

Ishida Sogen's flowing silver hair was blown into a mess.

Fortunately, the quality of Soul Society's hair gel is really good, and Haruto is free from the troubles of windy days - no matter the Mediterranean or alopecia areata, the biggest opponent when going out is never the amount of hair but the direction of the wind.

This is not just what most middle-aged people have learned over half a lifetime. No matter how cool the cool guy is, his appearance is still drastically reduced without the blessing of a hairstyle.

so......

The eminent monk that Princess Gaoyang fell in love with was probably really handsome and scumbag.

"cough."

Haruto pulled back his racing thoughts.

If I continue to talk about it more divergently, I am afraid that I will continue to think of Infernal Affairs. Haruto is very worried about whether he can control himself from saying a few famous lines.

"Ishida-kun."

Haruto looked at the back of Sogenu Ishida, who was holding on to the gap in the barbed wire fence with one hand.

"What do you want from me?"

This was only the second day after transferring to another school.

No matter what kind of drama is performed on the rooftop, it seems that it is not suitable for this student's identity - on the premise of quietly killing a deputy captain-level Quincy, the latter will either intensify the search efforts, or simply find an opportunity to evacuate. Zamachi.

Haruto doesn't mind if the other party chooses the former to take the initiative, but if he just leaves like this... it will be more or less trouble.

"Kotetsu-kun."

Sogenu Ishida turned around.

With her slender and smooth silver hair and the scene, it would be easy for people to mistake her gender...if it weren't for that awl face.

"Your last name..."

"You're relatively famous in Soul Society, right?"

"!"

The surprise in Haruto's eyes only lasted for a moment.

Just like the little trick Ishida Sogenu used when introducing himself, since Haruto can see through this, there is no reason for the other party to misunderstand Haruto's kana.

"When did you know that?"

Haruto asked more questions casually, so as to appear more stupid.

"From the very beginning."

Ishida Sogen's answer was as expected.

"...Then we should be about the same."

Haruto agreed with a smile.

"Then why do you have to make it clear now? It won't do you any good, right?"

It's impossible that Sogenu Ishida doesn't know about the relationship between Shinigami and Quincy. Is he so sure that Haruto is so easy to talk to?

And even if the relationship is not about stabbing each other with knives, it does not mean that Haruto, who can communicate, has the power to make decisions.

It would be unwise to expose yourself in this way.

"In order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Ishida Zongxuan stretched the frame of the mirror out of habit and said.

"Um?"

Before Haruto understood what he meant, he heard Ishida Sogenu continue to add:

"Kotetsu-kun..."

"I'll call you that for now."

Ishida Sogenu said in a tone that was very inconsistent with his image as a cool guy:

"I am not a Quincy traitor."

"Uh-huh?"

Isn't he a traitor to the Quincy?

There seems to be something wrong with what you say - if you want the God of Death to accept you, shouldn't you say you are a traitor?

This is what I said...

It's almost like explaining something to a fellow member of the same race.

As soon as Haruto came up with this idea, he heard Ishida Sogenu say decisively:

"Yhwach is the real traitor to the Empire of Light."

"When the day Yhwach truly regains his power, all Quincy except him will have no chance of survival."

Sogen Ishida is the ultimate revelation.

If he hadn't said this to Haruto, both the Shinigami and the Quincy would probably have their brains stuck.

"Although the Sun Library has been closed, traces of the battle eight hundred years ago can still be found in a few words."

"I know this may be hard to believe, but only if we Quincy unite, can we possibly break this mortal curse."

"..."

Haruto feels like he has been misunderstood?

"Why don't you ask Death for help?"

However, he still followed Ishida Sozuru's words.

"It would be great if the stubborn and secluded Soul Society can avoid causing trouble. After experiencing the foolish actions of those idiots in this world, it is even more impossible for the Death God to help us."

"..."

"Ishida-kun."

Seeing Haruto's expression become serious, Ishida Sogen felt that his persuasion had worked.

"Speaking."

"Who do you think I am?"

"...The assassin sent by Shoberut to obliterate me."

"..."

Haruto fell into silence.

He probably understood Ishida Sozuru's brain circuit: it cannot be said to be too wrong, at least it is the opposite.

but!

From the opponent's perspective, this kind of guess is the closest to the correct answer: Haruto's Death God Pressure is completely restrained. If he hadn't taken the initiative to release his breath or reveal his identity, he might not even be able to recognize his colleagues in the Gotei 13 Team. Come out of him.

Under this premise...

"Aren't you afraid of making mistakes in judgment?"

"impossible."

Ishida Sogen shook his head and said.

"Although you hide your aura very well, the Quincy's Silver Cross Star... I can still feel its aura even through the power of space."

The silver five-pointed star emblem slipped from Ishida Sozuru's cuffs, and it was shining brightly in the sun.

"......I see."

Haruto understood.

The silver cross star he kept in the Binding Box, although it looks different from this one (cross shape), was also obtained from Miralles, a veteran Quincy - although Miralles himself is not a pure-blood, if you trace back, his ancestors are most likely pure-blood Quincy who escaped from the Empire of Light.

The fact that Ishida Sogen was able to leave the Empire of Light safely shows that he has considerable experience in the construction and use of spirit space...

Space spirit tools cannot escape his detection.

In addition, Haruto mentioned the surname Kotetsu.

——If it weren't for the Empire Quincy hiding in the shadow of the Soul Society, it would be difficult to observe and understand the nobles of the Fourth Division who are proficient in Kaido in the rear of Soul Society.

So.

It makes sense that Ishida Sogen would have this guess.

"What a pity."

Haruto said with a bit of apology.

"I'm not--"

Haruto's voice was not finished.

"Treating the god of death as a Quincy?"

"!!"

The dark golden lines spread out like a spider web above the rooftop, and a teasing voice sounded in everyone's ears at the same time.

"Has your brain become dull after leaving the Empire--"

"Ishida Sogen?"

The lines in the space gathered together and turned into a landscape similar to a zipper.

And then...

"Buzz."

From the inside of the suddenly opened space, a group of three people in white military uniforms walked out slowly.

The one in the middle.

There was an extremely clear three-star emblem on the military cap, and the dark red half of the cape was tied with golden tassels on the shoulders.

The Western saber worn on the waist was particularly eye-catching.

"Shubeirut."

Ishida Sogen solemnly read out the name of the visitor.

Haruto didn't have much impression of this Quincy, but since he was able to construct a spirit space for transfer, and made Ishida Sogen look as if he was facing a great enemy...

This guy is not weak among the captains.

As for the foils beside him, I think they are the other two Quincy who massacred the 11th Division last time.

"Ishida Sogen."

The Quincy named Shubeirut drew the saber at his waist.

"Leaving the Knights without permission, fleeing from the Empire of Light, and spreading rumors about His Majesty to deceive people."

The intensity of the spiritual pressure flowing on the blade made the sky, which was not very clear to begin with, become more and more oppressive and gloomy.

"Any of the above is enough to send you to the gallows."

"Swish!"

The bright silver saber was gently waved in the air, and the track left by the flow of spiritual particles quickly condensed into a crescent-shaped bow.

"Snap."

Ishida Sogen also put on pure white gloves with spiritual particle patterns at some point.

"Me!"

The crescent moon continued to absorb spiritual particles in the atmosphere.

The size of the weapon soon exceeded the traditional bow and arrow, and became similar to the size of ancient siege weapons.

This was the Quincy's signature ability, Rei-particle Affiliation - in a spiritually dense place like Karakura Town, its effect was no less than that of Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.
