A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 639 Chapter 632. Detecting abnormalities

"Byakuya! Oh no! Kuchiki's execution date..."

Some anxious voices came from behind the corridor.

It was Ukitake Jushiro, captain of the Thirteenth Division, who learned that Rukia Kuchiki's sentence had been advanced again. He came anxiously to tell the news to Rukia's brother, the man in front of him at the moment, Byakuya Kuchiki.

"I see."

There was only this plain answer, and the indifferent face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years was still as indifferent as the eternal frost.

"Hell Butterfly has already come to deliver the message before, so you don't have to go there yourself."

"Oh! That's easy to say..."

Perhaps it was because this guy still looked like this on weekdays, so Ukitake Jushiro didn't feel anything was wrong and just wanted to continue talking.

But he was a little dazed by Kuchiki Byakuya's next question.

"So, what can we do if we know?"

This indifferent question made Ukitake Jushiro freeze on the spot.

"How about it?……"

"Yes, the execution will be tomorrow. Since it is the decision of Central Room 46, I can only accept it." Byakuya Kuchiki's tone was as calm as ever, and there seemed to be no disturbance, "Don't bother me every time, Sorry."

"You guy!"

Jutsuro Ukitake angrily stepped forward and grabbed Kuchiki Byakuya's collar, "The joke is a bit too much, isn't it!? That's your sister! Are you still saying such things now? It's tomorrow! This is It’s true! Tomorrow at noon...your sister will be executed——"

"Uh-uh-ah-"

"Ha-ha-" Perhaps because of his excitement, the weak Ukitake Jushiro felt a sharp throbbing in his heart before he finished speaking, and he breathed heavily.

He came here with good intentions and wanted to discuss countermeasures with the guy in front of him to see how to save Rukia Kuchiki. Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was so indifferent, and he really didn't care about Rukia's life or death at all?

"Don't be anxious, it will shorten your life, Ukitake."

Byakuya Kuchiki reached out and patted the wrinkled clothes, and looked at the man in front of him who was suffering from an old illness in a calm tone, "Anyway, you have already tried to save your subordinates before... give him a try twice. Or three times, it doesn’t make any difference, right?”

"You guy..."

Ukitake Jushiro gasped and raised his head, looking angrily at the man in front of him who turned around again to leave, "Are you really going to leave it alone?"

"No matter what, she is a member of my Kuchiki family. Whether she wants to die or be killed, she should have her own consciousness. As an elder brother, I don't want to worry about it." Byakuya Kuchiki replied calmly without looking back, "As for you …”

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at the person behind him thoughtfully: "Just take care of yourself."

Although he said that, Kuchiki Byakuya felt a little more at ease.

It seems that there are quite a few people who want to kill Lucia. Do you think there is one more person?

In this case……

"hateful."

Jushiro Ukitake clenched his fists and looked angrily at the back of the person in front of him as he left.

······

The next day.

The door to the fourth deep cell of the Penitence Palace was slowly opened.

At noon, it was the time of Kuchiki Rukia's execution, so she naturally had to be escorted to the execution ground.

At the same time, the entire Seireitei began to become noisy.

"tread--"

The sound of violent footsteps kept coming from the corridor.

It is Zaraki Kenpachi who is leading a group of travelers looking for Kurosaki Ichigo.

Except for the 'Shiba Iwajiu' who was still 'imprisoned' in the cell, the rest of the Sadatari Taihu were looking at each other and running behind this man.

"Hey, we and these two guys seem to be enemies, right?"

Uryū Ishida asked speechlessly, "Is it really okay to follow them and move around here like this?"

"Forehead……"

For such a question, Sadatora Taitora and Inoue Orihime didn't know how to answer.

But it seemed like Kenpachi Zaraki was serious about leading them to Ichigo Kurosaki.

"Don't worry!"

Kusaka Yachiru, who was lying on Zaraki Kenpachi, heard the discussion of several people and turned around with a smile and said: "No matter what happens, Xiaoken will handle it!"

"Tsk, don't forget there is me."

Nirvana followed behind and curled her lips in disdain.

Speaking of which, if Orihime-sama hadn't actually agreed to the idiot's proposal, he wouldn't have followed these people around the Seireitei like this. It was so embarrassing.

Kurosaki Ichigo? Who is that? How could Orihime-sama be so eager to find her that she would even follow the idiot in front of her! When you find that guy, you must carefully study what is attractive about him.

······

"Hey~"

For some reason, Kurosaki Ichigo, who was still undergoing swastika training in the underground space, felt a chill down his spine.

"What's wrong? Boy."

Renji Abarai, who had completed his training and was ready to go, frowned and asked, looking at the boy's unreliable appearance.

"nothing!"

Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head, and once again clenched the Zanpakutō in his hand to start sparring with Zangetsu, "Don't worry, I will definitely dare to finish it before noon!"

"Hmph, I hope so."

Abarai Renji hummed and left towards the exit, "Okay, I have to take the first step."

"Well, I'll catch up soon."

Kurosaki Ichigo agreed without looking back.

"..."

Even after hearing such an answer, Abarai Renji was not sure whether this guy could really do it.

After all, there were only a few hours left before the execution began.

"Miss Yoichi..."

Finally, when passing by Yoruichi who was guarding the exit, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you think that kid... is really okay?"

"no need to worry."

Ye Yi's eyes looked more determined than ever at this moment.

She looked at the figure of Ichigo Kurosaki who had been covered with bruises from continuous training. From this figure, she really felt the will that only those who could reach that state had.

"Renji, do you remember the first time you stood up and walked?"

"Ah? Who would remember such a thing?" Abarai Renji answered doubtfully.

"It's okay if you don't remember. The reason you can't remember is because you don't realize it." Ye Yi explained calmly, "Why do you have to stand up? Everyone knows to stand up after birth, just like a bird knows to fly , fish know to swim, it is an instinct. Because they know it is instinct, everyone will not hesitate to get that power. At this moment, Ichigo is the same as a newborn human who wants to stand up. He instinctively knows that he has the power to achieve the 'Swastika', so we don't feel the slightest hesitation from him."

"this……"

Renji Abarai was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the figure behind him.

Yes, that's true.

Ever since he arrived here yesterday, Kurosaki Ichigo has never shown that he will give up. No matter how many times the blade in his hand is broken, this guy will not hesitate to pick up another knife on the ground and continue to join the battle. , even in the face of his own ridicule, this guy's answer is extremely affirmative every time.

"So...he will really follow soon, right?"

Asking this, Abarai Renji couldn't help but have a slight arc on his face.

"Don't worry, although the remaining time does seem impossible, but for some reason, I can't picture him failing."

Yoruichi also chuckled, "This kid... must be someone who can achieve the 'Swastika'."

······

The sixth division captain's dormitory.

Byakuya Kuchiki stood quietly in front of the shrine, seemingly praying.

"Byakuya-sama."

A warning sound came from outside the door.

"The time is up, please prepare to go to the funeral home."

"Yes." Byakuya Kuchiki replied calmly, but his eyes still stayed on the enshrined photo.

This shrine is not dedicated to any god, but to his late wife, Kuchiki Hijin.

"There are still five hours until the execution..."

Kuchiki Byakuya stood in front of the shrine and muttered to himself.

The spiritual pressure began to spread to every corner of the entire Seireitei.

As for Lucia's trial, no matter how she reported it to Central Room 46, the answer given there was always rejection. Yes, even no reason can be given, whether reasonable or not, not even a reason can be given. Although this was in line with the dictatorship of those guys, he always felt that things were not that simple.

There are problems with Rukia's trial, which is something almost everyone knows.

Based on his analysis of the current situation, there are probably four groups of people besides himself who are preparing to rescue Rukia or prevent the execution. One is the travel disasters brought by Yoruichi to the Soul Society, and the other is Ukitake Jūshirō who is preparing , the third is Toshiro Hitsugaya, who is also investigating the problem, and finally... the person from the Shiba family who is supposed to hate Rukia.

The first two groups of people were too stupid in his opinion, because the key to this matter was not the trial of Lucia at all, but what the problems behind the trial were.

If you can't find the mastermind behind it, then just saving Rukia is useless.

"Wouldn't it be better for Lucia to come out openly?"

Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly recalled the words of the ‘Shiba Iwajiu’ he met in the Fourth Prison of the Penitence Palace.

He didn't know why, but his intuition told him that this man might not be as simple as he appeared. Although the other party's performance was pitifully weak in several trials, he had such an intuition.

No...it shouldn't be intuition.

The best proof is that the man is still alive.

Reiatsu is locked in the underground rescue cell of Division 4.

A rare and faint smile appeared on Kuchiki Byakuya's face.

Perhaps even Ukitake, who was present at the time, would think that the reason why this man was alive was because he underestimated his enemy or showed mercy, right?

But it's not.

At that time...he showed no mercy at all...

After all, if the other party is here to save Rukia, then it is appropriate to have such strength.

If you can't survive under your own hands, then what power can you use to take people away from the execution ground where the captains of each team will be present?

Although he pretended to be a weakling, he was able to survive his all-out attack and now seems to have fully recovered. This man named 'Shiba Iwajiu' is definitely not as simple as he seems.

Although he didn't quite understand the purpose of the other party's disguise, that wasn't what he needed to focus on.

To carry out such a disguise, one's own acquiescence is almost a necessary condition.

This man seemed determined from the beginning that he would not expose him.

Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly felt like he was being seen through, but this feeling didn't seem to be a bad thing in the current situation. After all... their goals were the same.

"Let's go, Feizhen."

After a long time, the person in his photo said hello, then slowly turned around and left.

······

"Ooooooooh! Now we're in trouble!"

There was a loud noise from the seventh division team building, followed by a rush of footsteps.

I saw a figure flying to the main hall, leaping into the air with lightning speed, and then hitting the floor with a standard earthen seat.

"I'm so sorry!"

The man suddenly grabbed the ground with his head and apologized to the tall figure who had been waiting in the main hall for a long time: "Manly Tetsuzaemon! He fell asleep sitting on the toilet! Now I can only commit seppuku!"

"It's okay, don't worry."

The Captain of the Seventh Division, Komamura Zuozhen, arranged his equipment and replied calmly, "The duty these days is indeed tiring, but it doesn't matter, everything... is ready. It will be over soon."

"Yes...really?"

Tetsuzaemon of the shooting range raised his head and looked at his captain with some worry. As an adjutant, he knew his captain's position very well. What the captain said about "it will be over soon" was obviously referring to Rukia Kuchiki. trial.

But this highly problematic trial was unjust.

Can a man like Captain, who carries out justice, really accept such a result?

If not... then...

"Yes, don't think too much, Tetsuzaemon."

Komamura's left formation calmly turned around slowly and prepared to set off.

"Huh? I...I didn't think much about it..." Tetsuzaemon Tetsuzaemon got up in a panic and arranged his clothes to follow.

"You don't have to hide it." The sharp eyes under the left mask of Komamura seemed to see through the worries hidden under his mask. "I know you are worried. You are afraid that I will have doubts about this execution and that I will do something extraordinary. Things are coming. Because you are worried, you want me to think things over carefully, so you try to delay as much time as possible, and gather here now..."

"Yes. I really can't hide anything from you." Tetsuzaemon bowed his head in shame.

"But you really don't have to worry." Komamura Zuozhen slowly turned his head and said calmly, "I have no doubts about this execution. All my actions are just to... repay my kindness to Genryusai-sama. Back then, it was He adopted me who was rejected by everyone. I can only do my best to repay his kindness. There is nothing to hesitate. As long as he says it is right, even if he wants me to be it, then it is right! This is me justice carried out.”

"Is that so..." Tetsuzaemon Tetsuzaemon lowered his head and said nothing.

"And you?"

Komamura Zuozhen suddenly asked.

"!?" Tetsuzaemon Tetsuzaemon raised his head and was about to open his mouth, but then he realized that this sentence was not meant for him.

"Dongxian."

He looked in the direction his captain was facing.

Outside the team building, the captain of the ninth division, Tosen Kaname, seemed to have been waiting here. The two of them seemed to have agreed to go to the place where the two men died together.

"Of course...I haven't changed."

Tosen answered the question, "What I see with my blind eyes is always the path with the least sacrifice. I believe... I am walking the same path as you, Komamura."

"Um."

Komamura Zuozhen replied in a deep voice, his tall body walking at the front with solid steps.

······

"Oh, it's really troublesome, so troublesome!"

There was a burst of chattering complaints from the Second Division station, and two figures, one large and one small, walked out of the door quickly.

The other gods of death who saw the two of them around them started to avoid them, as if they were afraid of provoking these two gods of death.

The Second Division's status among the Gotei 13 is as special as that of the Eleventh Division, which is responsible for the battle. The entire process is actually a so-called "secret maneuver". Generally, only the commander-in-chief of the Xing Army will also serve as the captain of the Second Division. Presentation position.

Different from the battle maniacs of the 11th Division, the members of the 2nd Division tend to be highly mobile, proficient in assassination and concealment skills, and belong to a special force that operates in the dark. The current captain is really a petite figure walking in the middle of the road at this moment - Shattered Bee (Bee Shao Ling).

"It's an invasion and a murder. These are already very annoying, but there are still people arguing about whether execution should be carried out? That is the decision from above, and there is no point in arguing! It's really stupid, don't you think? ?team leader."

The deputy captain of the squad, Ohmaeda Kichiyo, was complaining and eating snacks, following the silent Zhiqiu.

"boring."

Zhanfei, who was walking in front, had an expressionless face: "I have no interest in what is right or wrong at all. For me, it is only about my mission and dignity as the captain of the Gotei 13. Anyone who gets in the way is an enemy. . If you are an enemy, you must die. That’s all.”

"Hey, is that so?" Ohmaeda Kichiyo picked her nose, their captain was still as rigid as ever.

"The same goes for you, Ohmaeda."

After saying that, Broken Bee stopped and turned around to glance at him, "Don't stand in the wrong position. Remember, if you hinder me, you are also an enemy."

"Yes... I will keep it in mind."

Faced with the captain's sudden warning, Ohmaeda Kichiyo broke out into a cold sweat on his forehead.

······

A leisurely whistle came from the roof of the eighth division team building.

At this moment, Captain Kyōraku Shunsui of the Eighth Division was lying leisurely on the roof looking at the sky, looking quite contented with the grass he picked from somewhere in his mouth.

"Ah! So you are here! Captain!"

Nanao, who came up here on a ladder, looked at his unreliable captain and had a headache, "When is this? Please don't fall asleep and get ready to go!"

"Nanao...I feel very distressed now, can you listen to me?"

Kyōraku Shunsui, who was lying on the roof, spoke in a deep voice, his tone sounding very serious.
