Alchemist in Death

Chapter 213 Without that sword, I.
"Stronger, more helpless?" Ichiro looked at Urahara in confusion. For some reason, he suddenly remembered Yue Ling's words, and his heart suddenly cast a shadow...

"You still remember the virtualization experiment we did, right?"

Ichiro pushed the bridge of his nose with his right hand, and a pair of glasses condensed it. Most of his emotions were suppressed by them to prevent them from affecting Ichiro's thinking.

"Remember, the essence of strength improvement after Hollow transformation is that the power of Hollow and the power of Death complement each other. It is essentially a complement, so there will be a qualitative leap, rather than simply possessing Hollow's spiritual pressure. This is why we give up. The reason for the virtualization is that it is too dangerous and there is no way to turn back."

"Well, but Ichiro, have you ever thought about why it needs to be completed? What exactly are we missing..."

Ichiro was silent. At this time, even psychological suggestions could not suppress his emotions. After a while, he sighed and said: "Zanpakutō..."

"Yes, the Zanpakutō. The missing part of our Zanpakutō is the Zanpakutō! The Zanpakutō molds part of the soul of the Shinigami into an independent sword spirit through shallow attacks, allowing us to master some of the real attacks in advance. However, our souls are also Therefore, it becomes incomplete, so it needs to be completed.”

"So your solution is..."

"Yes, Zanpakutō fusion!"

Ichiro was silent for a moment. This was what he expected, but he didn't dare to do it or face it.

"After fusion, where is the sword spirit?"

"...It's gone, it's completely integrated with the god of death..."

"Then what's the use?"

"It's useless, but there's nothing we can do..."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Me? What can I do? Will you become stronger at the expense of the world?"

"of course not!"

"Me too, of course, I'm talking about Beniji."

Ichiro smiled, and the heavy atmosphere was relieved a little. Ichiro asked: "So, you are telling me this not just to inform me about this, right?"

"Well, it's not entirely true. There's one more thing. I hope you can support Nirvana as the director of the Technology Development Bureau in the future!"

Suddenly, the somewhat relaxed atmosphere in the room became heavy again. Ichiro was silent for a moment, and instead of responding to Urahara, asked: "Have you really decided?"

"Haha~ Are there any other choices? For example, regarding the Zanpakutō, do you think Nikaiya Wang Yue knows about this? Does the monk know about it? All kinds of situations make me have to think more. One more thing, you should Received the task of creating a backup soul king, right? From the captain."

Ichiro smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Really, I can't hide anything from you. Well, I received the mission from the captain, but it won't be activated in a short time. You know, Yueling is a simulated spirit. Wang, I don’t really want to do this kind of thing.”

"I don't want to, but I can't, right? That's right. As long as you have enough materials for alchemy, you can make a spare soul king at any time." As he spoke, Urahara leaned on the chair behind him and continued, "So, this If you do everything, the captain's tolerance for me will decrease. I can't stay here because there are too many rules here."

"Forget it, you can decide your own affairs. I hope we won't confront each other one day." After saying that, Ichiro turned and left.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. After all, no one knows better than me how strong you are."

In this way, Ichiro left Urahara's office. He did not try to persuade Urahara because he knew very well that Urahara and Yoruichi had this kind of character, and a decadent place like Soul Society was not suitable for them.

They are fundamentally different from Ichiro. Ichiro has experienced much more than they have, and has seen through many things. To Ichiro, it doesn't matter whether the Jinglingting Courtyard decays or not, as long as it does not infringe on his own interests. That's it.

Although there is a saying that if you are prosperous, you can help the world, but if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself.

But, does this world have anything to do with him?
Therefore, no matter how corrupt Jinglingting is, as long as Tianxin Ichiro still has room to do experiments and research, then he doesn't care.

As for Urahara's statement that he supported the nemesis after leaving, in Ichiro's view, there is actually no need to worry about this.

Because once Urahara leaves, the only ones who are most suitable to be the chief of the government are Ichiro and Tori.

After all, the position of director requires you to be good at many fields. Although Ichiro and Yuri's "research pool" are much more researched than Urahara's, except for Urahara, they are also among the best.

Even Hikifune Kiryu and Senjumaru couldn't compare to them.

Among them, Ichiro is about to serve as the director of the Kidou Research Bureau. Naturally, the position of director of the Technology Development Bureau can only be filled by him.

In fact, he is also the most suitable for this position.

Like Ichiro and others, their ability is sufficient, but not strong enough, and their style of trouble is relatively smooth. In this situation, they cannot defeat those idiots. In the entire Technology Development Bureau, only Nie Yuri can meet this condition.

Because this guy is a madman, a complete madman!
Room 46 comments?
Do you think a madman would listen?As long as he doesn't cause trouble, it's fine!
So in fact, you don’t have to worry about Kyouri. As soon as Urahara leaves, Kyouri will take over immediately. He will take over the throne perfectly, and his physical fitness is gradually returning to the peak of the captain. There is no need to worry about what he will do. Something happened.

So Ichiro returned to the office silently, holding a document in his hand, but his mind was not on it.
Because, after what Urahara said, he also noticed some points that he usually didn't notice. He immediately called the world to visit the Technology Development Bureau through his spiritual call, and then started to hold the documents in a daze.

"Dong Dong~"

"Lord Ichiro."

"The world? Come in."

The world pushed the door open and saw a little sadness on Ichiro's eyebrows. He naturally walked behind Ichiro and started to press his shoulders, and said: "What's wrong? Is there anything unhappy? Say it to make me happy~ "

"You're studying Zanpakuto fusion technology, right?!"

The movement of Sekai's hand stopped, his expression froze for a moment, and then he asked unnaturally: "What is Zanpakuto fusion technology? Are you thinking about it, Ichiro-sama?"

Ichiro shook his head with a cold face: "There's no need to pretend to be stupid or change the topic. You know what I'm talking about. Urahara has already researched this. Although I haven't seen it, I can roughly guess what it is. process, and it is impossible for you not to know what Zanpakuto Fusion is, so, are you really researching this technology?"

The Lie of the World is very clumsy. Just as Ichiro said, it is impossible for her not to know about Zanpakutō fusion. After all, this is what Aizen and Ichigo showed in the original work, and it is also a very classic plot, with Ichiro's part. It is impossible not to understand the world of memory.

So there is only one possibility, she lied!
The world was silent for a while, stood behind Ichiro, nodded slowly, and said in a low voice: "Because this can quickly increase the strength of Ichiro-sama."

"I don't need it!" Before the world could finish speaking, Ichiro stood up, turned around and looked at the world seriously, and said seriously, "I don't need it! I, Tenshin Ichiro, have come to this day thanks to my own efforts and Zhan. The Zanpakutō has nothing to do with it! I didn’t need the Zanpakutō to give me strength in the past, and I won’t need it in the future! Do you hear me? World! I can reach that state without merging the Zanpakutō!”

The world was silent. Although Ichiro's words were a bit hurtful, she knew that Ichiro said this to make her give up the idea of ​​sacrificing herself. Therefore, she wanted to study out...
Suddenly, Ichiro embraced the world, took it into his arms, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Promise me, give up the Zanpakuto fusion plan, okay? I don't need power, as long as you are by my side That’s enough, okay?”

"." Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, with only one thought in his mind.
Is this a confession?This should be considered a confession, right?It should count, right?Forget it, right?

Just as the world was brainstorming, her body reacted for her, reaching out to hug Ichiro, then raising her head and closing her eyes.

Ichiro was stunned. Although he had never experienced it, he had watched so many dog ​​food movies before, so he knew something about it, so he closed his eyes and slowly lowered his head.

then
He kissed the hilt of the sword
Ichiro:
world:.
At the critical moment, Shijie's body responded for her again, that is, turning back into Zanpakuto
This made Ichiro regret his slow movements and also be afraid. Fortunately, this problem was discovered in advance. What if he suddenly changed back to a sword in the future?
Ichiro shuddered, and after he came to his senses, he put the world that had transformed into a Zanpakutō on the table, coughed lightly, took a few steps back, and said with some embarrassment: "That's pretty much what I want to say, Zanpakutō. There is no need to study the fusion technology, for that, I will find a way."

Following Ichiro's words, the Zanpakutō on the table dispersed into a burst of light points and floated directly towards the door, leaving only a slightly shy sentence.
"Ah."

Looking at the direction in which the world was leaving, Ichiro couldn't help but smile. Wasn't it quite bold back then?Sure enough, he is also a theoretical school with high attack and low defense.

Of course, while thinking this way, Ichiro ignored another problem, that is, the world and him are two sides of the same body. Although their personalities are different, in some places, they are very similar to each other. For example, they are all...well.
But it's a good thing that he didn't notice it, because it means that in Ichiro's eyes, the world is not a Zanpakutō, but a very important companion, or companion.
Shaking his head, Ichiro took out a book and started reading. Unfortunately, within 2 minutes, Ichiro began to wander again. The difference was that before, he was distracted by sadness, but now, he was distracted by the sweetness in his heart.
"Crack~"

After a while, Ichiro suddenly came to his senses, and angrily threw the document in his hand on the table!

Rubbish love, hindering my study!
Unfortunately, the next second, Ichiro fell into memories again. It seems that emotions are not only a taboo for confrontation, but also for researchers!

In this way, time passed slowly. A week later, Central Room 46 issued two orders, shocking the entire Soul Society again!
The first one is, of course, the official establishment of the Kidō Research Bureau, with Ichiro as the first director and Suzuran Yue as the director of its singing department. The remaining candidates are selected by themselves. The assessment is roughly the same as that of the Technology Development Bureau, with results as the standard.

Different from the Technology Development Bureau, the Kidou Research Bureau only looks at results, not profits. In other words, even if the newly developed theory has no practical use at present, it can still be counted in the evaluation of the Kidou Research Bureau.

This is also one of the reasons why the Ghost Research Bureau has been stuck. Although theoretical research is cheaper, it does not cost nothing. This rule means that Central Room 46 is likely to have to maintain the Ghost Research Bureau all the time. , naturally they will not agree easily.

However, there is no way to do this. Theoretical research is like this. If you are lucky, you may be able to use it in practice in a few years and generate benefits. If you are unlucky, it may take dozens or even hundreds of years to produce actual benefits. This decision cannot be made. Whatever you do.

Of course, although the establishment of the Ghost Research Bureau surprised many Shinigami, they calmed down when they thought that the director was Ichiro. They had long been accustomed to Ichiro. What kind of things this man does now, they No one is surprised. What really caused the earthquake in the Serenity Palace and even the Soul Society was another incident.
The Royal Agent Zero Squadron, which protects the royal family, has officially begun recruiting members!
A total of five divisions have been established, currently four are tentatively decided!
This is what shocked the entire Soul Society!
For the middle and lower levels, the legendary royal agents are real, and everyone does have captain-level strength, which is terrifying!
As far as the senior management is concerned, this move by Team Zero completely breaks the tradition of the past. How can it not be shocking?

Even if the director of the Kidou Research Bureau was not Ichiro, maybe, no, he would definitely not be able to compare with Team Zero!

On the day the news was released, in the conference room of the Technology Development Bureau, a total of eight people, including seven ministers of the Technology Development Bureau and a director of the Ghost Path Research Bureau, sat down together, all with serious expressions on their faces.

The Zero Squadron standing in front of the stage means too much. Let’s not talk about other things. The establishment of the Kidou Research Bureau is bound to be affected. After all, the current Kidou Research Bureau is just a place for retirement from a structural point of view. What is a place that can bring real benefits but not provide for the elderly?
Therefore, compared with Team Zero, they are really not competitive.
"Ichiro, what are you going to do?"

"Don't do much, just stick to the original plan. Researching theories is different from researching technology. This requires more talent. Finding 1 mediocre people is not as good as one genius. So the impact of Team Zero is not that big. I care more about it. , is why they did this”

"Maybe they want to change. They have been stuck in their ways for too long. If they don't change, they will have no chance at all. The monk who calls his real name is indeed courageous!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. It has always been like this. It may not be right, but the degree of recognition must be very high. The difficulty and risk of change are also very high. If you are not careful, you will be in a doomed situation.

So the monk’s behavior is truly remarkable!
However, a new problem also arises.
"Should our technology be open to them?"
