Alchemist in Death

Chapter 280 The master and apprentice dancing on the edge of the abyss
The emergence of Isshin made people begin to doubt the purpose of the Shiba family. With a master of Isshin's level, they would never have dared to push him so hard, let alone drive him out of the Seireitei.

But if the Zhiba family has other purposes, another doubt will follow. The decadence of Zhiba Haiyan, the current patriarch of the Zhiba family, is so that everyone can see you. If it is acting, it is too deep.

And if there is no other purpose, then it can only mean that there is internal strife in the Zhibo family!
Of course, this reason is even more ridiculous. The Shiba family is one of the few aristocrats whose clan divisions are relatively harmonious. Instead of believing that they are in internal strife, it is better to think about the reasons why the Shiba family left the Seiling Palace.

But none of this has anything to do with Ichiro. He is just a commoner. The affairs of the nobility have nothing to do with him. He gets beaten every day, works every day, and experiments, everything is business as usual.

Until a week later, Ichiro received a summons from the captain...

"Captain? Didn't you heal the captain's arm? What else can happen?" The best friend looked at Ichiro curiously. There hasn't been any major incident in the [-]th team recently~
"No, there is one more thing..." After saying that, Ichiro stood up and put the captain Yu Zhi on the chair, and walked straight outside, "I will go out, and I will trouble you about the team's affairs first."

"Yeah." The good friend nodded, but didn't say anything. She had a clear understanding of her status, and she was just a new vice-captain. Knowing some things would not be good for her or her family. .

On the other side, Ichiro was quickly rushing towards the first team.

After this incident, the most important things for Ichiro are three things. One is to avenge Suzuran, and the other is to heal the captain's broken arm while also transforming it and DIYing the strongest left arm for the captain. !
The former was successfully completed, but the latter was only half completed, that is, the recovery of the broken arm. In the end, the captain still could not let Ichiro take action on his left arm.

And the last thing is to accept Urahara's legacy, uh, that's not right, he hasn't died yet, so we can't say legacy, to be precise, it's something left behind, something more dangerous.

It didn't take long for Ichiro to arrive at the first team, and then led by Chojiro to the captain's office.

"Captain."

"Well, wait a moment." The captain looked up at Ichiro, then lowered his head and continued to handle the work, but the processing speed was accelerated a lot.

Ichiro nodded and did not disturb the captain. He stood aside silently and waited for the captain to finish his work.

Not long after, the captain put down the documents in his hands and stood up. Of course, the matter was not finished. As a team that coordinates and coordinates the entire Thirteenth Team, they are relatively busy. However, compared with this matter , just some team duties.

"Let's go."

Ichiro, who was leaning against the wall, nodded and followed the captain. In his surprised eyes, the wall of the office suddenly cracked, and a dark passage suddenly emerged.

"This is."

"Follow me, haven't you seen the secret passage?" The captain turned and called to the next man, then bowed and walked forward.

"I have seen secret passages, but I have never seen secret passages with space power." Ichiro muttered a few words and stepped to follow, "By the way, isn't it forbidden to use space ghost passages in the Jingling Court?"

"You are not allowed to disrupt the spatial order of Jingling Court, otherwise do you think your storage equipment can be used?"

"Well, that's what I said."

While walking in the dark passage, Ichiro looked at the ghost runes on the wall. He planned to go back and build a path leading to the underground base.

"Huh? Isn't Senior Chojiro coming?" After taking a few steps, Ichiro looked back in confusion and asked in confusion.

"No, the fewer people know about this, the better."

"That's true."

After the words fell, there was a long silence. In the long passage, only the unhurried footsteps of the two people echoed.

After a while, the captain stopped in front of a wall. Ichiro looked at the fork on the left and asked curiously: "Are we here? Weren't we going through the wall again?"

"Wow~"

As soon as Ichiro finished speaking, before the captain could reply, the wall suddenly cracked, revealing a gloomy laboratory. Ichiro raised his eyebrows with some surprise in his eyes.

He knew a little about this laboratory. It was Urahara's secret laboratory. It could be roughly seen from the style. He didn't know the exact location, but he had a guess at the approximate location.
Soul Street.
How long had they walked before they reached Rukongai?
Ichiro began to re-examine the ghost runes on the wall, which is a bit interesting~
"Let's go, stop looking. If you want, I'll give you one later." The captain glanced at Ichiro, who was stopping to observe, and walked into the laboratory.

"That's not necessary. I'm studying Ghost Road just to enjoy the process. The result is not important."

"." After hearing this, the captain glanced at Ichiro silently, said nothing, ignored the corpses soaked in many jars, and continued to move forward.

On the other hand, Ichiro's eyes became much more serious after he walked in. Human experiment
This is the forbidden zone that Ichiro has always tried to avoid except for researching the back road.
Of course, his rules only restrict himself. It has nothing to do with him what other people want to do, as long as he comes from the right place. As Urahara is the prison chief of the Worm's Nest, he naturally doesn't have to worry about his coming.

However, this chaotic scene still cast some shadows on Ichiro's heart.
While looking at the strange-shaped corpse in the jar, Ichiro followed the captain and walked inside.

The laboratory is not too scattered, and many things are neatly placed. A few messy documents and manuscripts can also be seen to be placed by Urahara habitually. In other words, it has been well preserved here.

"In order to ensure that you can take over better, I did not let them search this place. You may need to do the subsequent tidying up work." Noticing Ichiro's gaze, the captain explained.

"Yes, I understand, but from the level of neatness, it seems that Urahara also knows a little about your thoughts, Captain."

"It's not surprising. Urahara is a smart man. He knows exactly what he wants, what he can do, and what he can't do. Unfortunately, he knows what he wants too well."

Hearing this, Ichiro also fell silent. This is actually one of the biggest differences between him and Urahara. Ichiro also has what he wants, or wishes and ideals, but ideals, here, Ichiro will give in to emotions and life. , but Urahara will not.He knows very well what he wants, so he will move unswervingly in that direction. Even if he seems to be compromising many times, in fact, he just changes his approach and continues to move towards his goal. That’s all~
After a while, the two stopped at the end of the laboratory. Although he was mentally prepared in advance, he was still a little shocked when he actually saw this thing.

What was placed in front of the two people was a huge green jar, and in the jar, there was a little boy soaking!

In this little boy, there is extremely complex spiritual pressure, which is the power of Hollow, Quincy, Death and Perfection Technique. It is the same as Kurosaki Ichigo, the protagonist of Death. The difference is that Kurosaki Ichigo is all kinds of Born naturally by coincidence, he was born with these qualities, but this boy is different. His condition was forcefully created by Urahara!

They also have another name.
Candidate Spirit King!

In other words, it is a substitute that can take the place of the Spirit King at critical moments to prevent the world from collapsing!

The candidate Soul King is different from the fake Soul King like Yueling. The candidate Soul King is just a substitute for the Soul King, while the fake Soul King can be regarded as the Soul King's kin and companion. He cannot replace the Soul King and become the wedge of the world. of.

Moreover, from a technical point of view, the candidate for the spirit king is simpler and can be mass-produced, but the virtual spirit king is different. Even if Ichiro successfully created the moon spirit, it is impossible for him to create another one now. of.

"Do you think it will be effective?" Looking at the little boy in the jar, the captain asked Ichiro.

Ichiro glanced at the slightly trembling hands of the captain, and it could be seen that the captain was not feeling well now. First, because of his decision at this time, regarding the rules of Jinglingting, which he had always guarded, it was A huge challenge.

The second is that the captain is old after all. He said that the dead wood has only changed his body, but it can't do anything about his soul. Today's captain is no longer the murderous sword ghost he once was.

He is the teacher of tens of thousands of Death Gods, and his strong bond has long since dissolved his frozen heart. Therefore, it is impossible not to be touched when seeing this scene.

However, for the sake of Jing Ling Ting and Soul Society, he needs to sacrifice his feelings.
"Alas~" Ichiro sighed and said, "Unfortunately, I can't."

Yes, sorry.

The chief captain had long thought about creating a candidate for the Spirit King. After all, Team Zero, which was in charge of guarding the Spirit King, had behaved a bit out of line over the years, and no one knew if they would mess around.

But the impact of this matter was still too great after all, and he still had some trust in the monk and others. After all, the world was broken and it would not be good for everyone, so he kept suppressing it and did not let Ichiro directly study it. He only guided it secretly. Urahara conducts experiments.

But now, the situation is different, Yhwach is about to make a comeback, and the commander of that guy’s target is very clear, he is the Soul King!
Therefore, the candidate for the Soul King must be put on the agenda!

And this is why Ichiro said he was sorry. Although Urahara followed the captain's guidance and quietly conducted this experiment, it can be seen that his mastery of this technology is not very good. A sutured body of four powers cannot yet fuse the power of the Spirit King.

To this extent, even if the monk is asked to name him, he will not be able to become the new spiritual king.

How is this not a pity?
What's even more regrettable is that he and the captain had to get their hands dirty and complete the research themselves.
"Haha~ Urahara Kisuke is really a wicked guy, is it your influence?" The captain glanced at Ichiro from the corner of his eye.

Ichiro shrugged helplessly and said innocently: "This has nothing to do with me, that guy is born with it."

With Urahara's talent and sufficient resources, a mere Soul King candidate would not be able to trouble him at all. After all, at this time, he has a better understanding of the power of the Soul King than in the original work. In the original work, In this world that lacks resources, he can make two soul king candidates by relying on the human souls that are intercepted one after another. Now in the Jingling Court with abundant resources, how can he not be able to do it?

It was simply that he discovered the captain's idea, so he followed the trend and took advantage of this opportunity to use the prisoners in the Worm's Nest to conduct human experiments to improve his research, such as virtualization.
Ichiro walked to a jar and stared at the Xu that was soaked in the jar. On this Xu's body, some residual pressure from the God of Death could still be found.

Although Urahara took this opportunity to complete a lot of his own research, he was still calculated after all, although there was the factor of him willingly taking the bait.

But that's how he and Ichiro are sometimes. If you guide them to do something bad, they will remember you, and they will do it even without your guidance.

Therefore, Urahara did not really complete the research on the Soul King candidates, but created an embryo to disgust them.

Don’t you want to keep your aloofness?
Okay, either continue to be aloof and let all your previous efforts go to waste, or else, obediently get into the water and make everyone dirty together!

And how will the captain choose?
the answer goes without saying
"Do you want to continue?" Ichiro looked away from the shinigami who had turned into a hollow, and looked at the captain.

The captain was silent for a moment and sighed heavily. He seemed to be a little older. He said in an extremely firm tone: "Continue research! I can provide you with anything you need, even if it's from Rukongai." Soul!"

Ichiro looked deeply at the captain, then turned his attention to the little boy in the jar, and said calmly: "No need for that, just prepare some death row prisoners for me. You can go through the passage of the fourth division. For this matter, After all, we can’t make too big a fuss, otherwise the nobles will turn upside down.”

"I don't understand research, but is this enough?"

"That's enough. His current problem is just integration. Besides, it can be regarded as atonement. After all, this plan was started because of us. I hope he can live a normal life in the future."

"Atonement?" The captain looked at Ichiro doubtfully.

"His current situation is that the power in his body cannot be integrated. There are two methods. One is to manually intervene and directly adjust it so that the various powers in his body can slowly integrate. But the price is that he will follow The same as the one in the Soul King's Palace. Second, revive his consciousness, teach him to master his own power, slowly integrate on his own, and live a good life. Captain, which one do you choose?"

Ichiro looked at the captain calmly. In fact, the Soul King candidate is not necessarily necessary. Because of the Soul King wedge issue, he has already started planning. The Soul King candidate is just an insurance, so the second plan is enough. , the risk is basically non-existent.

However, Ichiro did not say it out loud. He wanted to know what the captain was thinking.

"Choose the second one!" The captain said directly without any hesitation.

"I understand." A bright smile appeared on Ichiro's face.
