76 Love & Peace
Since it is suspected that Zhou Jianwen is faking her death, then you must find out where she is hiding.
In fact, the best thing to do is to confirm the body again, but now that I return to the real boat house, I guess I won't see the body - and the night I don't believe that the people of the real boat family and Bai Lan will allow them to dig the grave.
What's more, they and Zhou Jianwen are friends rather than enemies, even if there is really any deep hatred between them, they will never be able to do such a thing as digging graves at night.
Then apart from Soul Street, the only place where Zhou Jianwen could hide was there.
Using the key that hadn't been used since he killed Sal Apollo and ransacked his lab, Kisuke Urahara strengthened the barrier in Yoichi's room and then took Yoyi and Kuzuru straight to the Void Night Palace, which he hadn't been to in years.
As a result, they had just arrived at the hall of the Void Night Palace, and before they could sigh that the Void Night Palace had changed a lot over the years, they saw Veneto, who had been following Zhou Jian Wen since Bai Lan entered Mao, standing in front of them.
The silver-haired girl, who had been wearing a suit since many years ago, maintained her usual coldness, and it seemed that few people could make her show a happy expression except for Zhou Jianwen.
At this time, when she saw the appearance of Ye Yi, she did not ask them about their intentions, nor did she say a few words to them, so she said straight to the point, "Miss Jian Wen is waiting for you in the office. β
This can be said to be a direct confirmation from the front that "Zhou Jianwen is not dead", and immediately made the night look at each other.
Everyone knew that Veneto had no reason to lie to them, which meant that Zhou Jianwen was indeed not dead, but when his assumptions were confirmed, the night and the others did not know what to say or what to do.
Under the leadership of Veneto, the three of them came silently all the way to what Veneto called "Zhou Jianwen's office".
Although their feelings were a little delicate because of Zhou Jianwen's fake death, the three of them did not miss the people they met along the wayβto be precise, those voids.
It's not strange that there will be voids in the Void Night Palace located in the Void Circle, and the strange thing is that those voids have been transformed into the broken faces that Kisuke Urahara once assumed. Coupled with Zhou Jianwen's fake death incident this time, this kind of information has to make people have some bad associations when they are superimposed.
Kisuke Urahara looked at Veneto, who looked petite no matter how he looked at it, and calculated how much useful information he could get from the other party's mouth, but before he could speak, Veneto had already stopped in front of a door.
"Here we are, gentlemen," she explained to the crowd, then reached out and knocked on the door, and after informing the occupants of the room, she pushed it open and invited a few people in.
Although the three of them were full of doubts, they still chose to believe Zhou Jian Wen in the end, so they walked into the room where they had never been before.
No matter how you look at it, this is a completely different room from the office they usually are inβboth the layout of the room and the style of the furniture, which is very different from the office of the 13th team of the court.
In fact, it's normal for a few people to think that the style of this room is very different, after all, this office is modeled after Zhou Jianwen's office in the command post, so on the whole, it is biased towards Western style - but it is still not as good as the offices of Tsunayoshi Sawada and Xanxus.
Sitting behind his desk working on some bits and pieces, he had already put down his pen and paper when Veneto knocked on the door. Officially "detached" from the corpse soul world, she has changed into her preferred suit at the moment, and her long black hair is also tied into a ponytail with a hair rope at will, making her look extraordinarily radiant.
So as soon as Yeyi and the others entered the door, they saw a boat that they had never seen in the past hundred years.
"You're here," said Zhou Jianwen, who was obviously not too surprised by the arrival of her old friends, but she just got up and welcomed a few people into the house, and ordered Veneto to bring refreshments, and sat down on the sofa set up in the house.
"Calculate the time, it should be that my funeral has just ended."
As she spoke, Zhou Jianwen had already poured a cup of tea for each of them, and she was not so embarrassed to see that no one answered, but just said something that was a little strange to others, "I can already come here at this time, should I say that it is worthy of you." β
The three of them still didn't speak, but they all stared at Zhou Jian Wen with a strange look, as if to judge whether the woman in front of them was the Fa Xiao they knew.
Zhou Jianwen, who was looked up and down by his friends with inquiring eyes for a while, was not annoyed, but just let them look at it with a smile. After all, she had already thought that there would be such a show when she decided to fake her death, and it was already a surprise for Zhou Jianwen that she didn't do it as soon as she saw her.
"We didn't expect you to be alive, Miss Jianwen, this is a big surprise."
After being silent for a long time, it was Urahara who finally took the lead in speaking, and he had no objection to this Yaichi and Kuzuru, after all, Urahara's mind was obvious to all, and if he asked questions, he might be able to ask something that they hadn't noticed.
"Less, aren't you already guessing that I'm still alive if you appear here," Zhou Jian Min snorted, if someone else said that they were surprised that she was still alive, Zhou Jian Wen might still believe it, but if it was Urahara......
Forget it.
Seeing that Zhou Jianwen expressed disdain for his opening remarks, Urahara touched his nose and finally decided to ask directly, "So can you tell us the reason?" β
"Why......" Zhou Jian thought for a moment, feigning distress, "If I said it was for love and peace, would you believe it?" β
Yoichi Shimapein / Kisuke Urahara / Shiba Kuzuru: "......"
For love and peace?
- The devil believes you!
Zhou Jianwen, who was despised by the three friends with their eyes, sighed, in fact, she didn't think that this kind of funny and clumsy excuse could really deal with these three people, so after sighing, she could only "tell the truth".
"Nearly a thousand years ago, the Corpse Soul Realm ...... The Grim Reaper and the Exterminator had a bloody battle of life and death, and I don't know if you've heard of it. β
The three of them looked at each other, then nodded.
As the descendants of the five nobles, Yeyi and Kuzuru always know much more things than ordinary deaths; And although Urahara was only born as a low-level nobleman, he has been with Yeyi for many years, and he himself is also a character who is prepared for the world, since he knows the existence of the exterminator, there is no reason not to investigate the history of the exterminator.
"As you must know about the origin of the Exterminator, it was first strengthened by the cultivation of humans scattered all over the world who possessed the ability to see spirits. It wasn't until a thousand years ago that the long-standing contradictions between the Grim Reaper and the Exterminator broke out, and there was that bloody battle. β
The night and a few people nodded, Zhou Jianwen's description was not much different from what they knew, "But what does this have to do with your fake death?" β
Zhou Jianwen just smiled and didn't answer, but continued on the topic of the Exterminator, "Do you know, the one who commanded the Extermination Division and the Thirteenth Team of the Protector a thousand years ago was the common ancestor of all the Exterminators, and his name was Youhabach. β
"What did you say?!"
The reaction of her friends was also within Zhou Jianwen's expectations, so in the face of the rare panicked Ye Yi and a few people, she just said very calmly, "You can also confirm this matter with the captain, after all, it was the captain who defeated Youhabach with his own hands back then." β
"Wait, you just said defeat?" After a brief shock, Urahara can be said to have recovered quickly, and found something strange in Zhou Jianwen's words, "Do you ...... say?"
"Yes, the captain failed to kill Youharbach back then, but he lost his heartbeat, consciousness and strength," this situation is a little worse than that of Jin Lanlan, who doesn't know who it is, one is almost turned into a vegetative state, and the other is out of shape.
"Does that mean that sooner or later the other party will recover from this state?"
Urahara's guess was that although he used "sooner or later", judging from the demeanor and tone of Funaka Min, he felt that the answer was basically certain.
"There is a saying among the exterminators who survived the battlefield that it took 900 years for the sealed king to recover his heartbeat, 90 years to regain his consciousness, and another 9 years to regain his strength," Zhou Jian Min watched the faces of his three friends sink suddenly, and Zhou Jian Wen added, "Then a few years ago, many of the exterminators who remained in the living world died within half a year. β
This was the last time she would go to this world.
It was probably because Zhou Jianwen's words were too informative, and the three of them were silent for a while before they opened their mouths to ask, "So, this is the last step?" β
"Yes," Zhou Jianwen did not hide, "Youhabach was born unable to see, hear, speak, or even move. But he survived and became the ancestor of the Exterminator. Because since he was born, he has been able to share his soul with others and heal other people's physical defects by touch. β
"But all those who are healed by Youhabach are not destined to live long, because it will not be long before the soul that has been separated will return to Youhabach's body and heal his own physical defects."
"So the death of those exterminators in the living world a few years ago was actually because Youhabach activated the power called Shengbie to withdraw the power of the exterminators from them, which led to their deaths."
To put it simply, he is a loan shark, and the interest he receives is not money, but life.
"But how did you know this?"
"Part of it is from the records of the Mashu family, and I also accidentally read it a few years ago," this is true, it was because of the record of the then head of the Mashu family thousands of years ago that she remembered the existence of this guy, "The other part...... For various reasons, I have known several exterminators in this world. β
"Wait," Urahara seemed to realize something as if he was aware of something by Funaka Min's words, "You just said that the Exterminator who died a few years ago is left in the present world?" Could it be that there are extinctionists elsewhere? β
At present, this world can only be divided into three places: the present world, the corpse soul realm, and the void circle.
Aside from this world, where can those destroyers stay? Is it a virtual circle of the old home that they regard as natural enemies?
"Blind student, you have discovered Huadian!" After listening to Urahara's question, Zhou Jian Wen looked a little excited and said loudly.
Kisuke Urahara: "............"
"The exterminators who survived the battlefield are currently divided into two parts, one of them remained in the present world, and most of these people became extinct two hundred years ago," Zhou Jian Min paused, not saying that even those who survived were forced to hide for some unspeakable reason, "and the other part fled from the present world to another place, and began to recuperate and prepare to accumulate strength for the revenge war in a thousand years. β
"It can be said that the Exterminator and the Void cannot coexist, and there is no reason for them to hide in the Void Circle."
Ye Yi thought about it and said, the way the Exterminator treats the void is to completely eliminate it, if they really hide in the void circle, it makes no sense that no abnormality has been found on the side of the Corpse Soul Realm to this day, and it is even more impossible for Zhou Jian Min to build such a palace in the void circle.
After hearing Yayi's words, Kuzuru's eyes immediately widened, and he glared at his friend with an expression of "Are you crazy", "Hey, Yayi, according to your statement, should it be ......?"
"That's it."
Seeing that the empty crane "should not" for a while, no one answered, and several people's eyes even moved towards themselves, and Zhou Jianwen also gave an answer generously.
As long as you are a member of the Soul Court, you don't want to hear the answer.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place, so they, the exterminators who survived and prepared for revenge, are now hiding in the Soul Court...... Or rather, in the shadow of the Soul Court. 166 Reading Network
