The bombing that took place in front of the Gate of the Confession Palace that day was too ferocious, so not only the Thirteen Guardian Teams, but even many nobles in the Soul Court already knew about it.

Since it is widely circulated, it is not inconceivable to alarm the 46th Central Chamber.

I don't know if those old things in the central forty-sixth room heard some rumors, but not long after Bai Lan got the news from Matsumoto Ranju that "the captain has urgently recruited the fifth and ninth teams back to the Spirit Garden", a hell butterfly used to transmit messages flew in through the open window of the office, and finally landed on the tip of Ranju's outstretched index finger.

"Report to the captains and vice-captains of each squad that the date of execution of the prisoner Rukia Kuchigi has been changed, and the date of execution is finally set for twenty-nine hours after this time, and this is the final decision, and it will not be changed in the future, as above."

"Captain!" Matsumoto Ranju, who received the information from Hell Butterfly, relayed the content to Bai Lan on the side, and when she finished reading, her face changed, "Captain, this is ......"

The face of the Rifanya Winter Shilang on the side was obviously not very good, but Bai Lan didn't seem to be so shocked after hearing it, he just took a sip of the tea bowl, and finally commented slowly, "It seems that the central forty-sixth room can't sit still." ”

Although it was the Hell Butterfly who delivered the news, the person who made this decision was clearly the Central Room 46, "It can only be said that the movement on the side of the Confession Palace was too big, and in the end, it was not able to hide the Central Room 46." ”

Matsumoto Ranju kept his face calm and did not speak.

Although she and Rukia Kuchigi have been in contact, they are not very familiar with each other in the end, after all, they are neither in the same team nor in the same circle of communication, and the only one who can rub the side is Asani Renji, one of Matsumoto Ranju's drinking friends, except for the women's association.

However, from her personal point of view, it is a great sin to privately transfer spiritual power to human beings, but it is not a sin that leads to death. Although the central forty-sixth room has always been rigid, it has always acted according to the rules, and in the past, it was at most a prisoner or deprivation of spiritual pressure, so why did it have to put people to death this time?

It's hard not to think about it in some ways.

It's just that even the captain-level Grim Reaper, even the chief captain, can't question the decision of the Central Room 46, which has always been the same, what can she do with a little vice-captain?

I didn't know what was going on in the 46th room in the center, and even after seeing that my captain sometimes couldn't snoop on those twists and turns and could only do what he was told, Matsumoto Ranju suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

It's really uncomfortable to witness a god of death who has been in contact with him being sentenced to death or something.

"Take it easy, Ranju," Bai Lan also saw that her adjutant was not very receptive to the orders of the Central Room 46 - at least there was still resistance in her heart, so she smiled and comforted her, "Although there is only a little more than a day before the execution, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, right?" ”

Bai Lan's tone was lighthearted, and he said something that was too rebellious for his identity, "Although those disasters are a little stupid and weak, impulsive and reckless, they may bring some surprises, right?" ”

Hibanya Winter Shiro, who had his eyes wide open because of his previous sentence and almost wanted to stop it, didn't know what to say after hearing the second half of the sentence, so he could only bury his head and continue to sort the documents. As for the chaotic chrysanthemum who was still a little unhappy on the side, he also stared at him with an unbelievable look, and only shook his head and sighed for a long time.

"I suddenly feel a little sorry for the Travelers who have been given high hopes by you, Captain."

Although she knew that it was much more convenient for those travelers to act than they were—at least much more unrestrained, it was better not to have such an almost worthless evaluation.

"Actually, it's not just the travel disaster that will act at that time," Bai Lan put down the brush in her hand and stretched, and then moved her shoulders and neck, which were a little stiff because of the long time of approving documents, "After all, there are still ......"

Before Bai Lan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a rush of footsteps, and the three people in the room immediately looked in the direction of the door when they heard the sound, and then they saw an ordinary member of the Juban team who was sweating all over his head.

The team member was already panicking because of the emergency, and he only wanted to report to his immediate boss. Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at the door of the captain's room, he was so caught off guard by the three mountains of the Juban team, and he was almost frightened.

"Don't worry," seeing the other party's panic, knowing that he was probably scared of his subordinates, Bai Lan smiled, and even said comfortably, "You speak slowly." ”

"Yes, yes!" I have to say that Bai Lan's smile actually has a certain effect on outsiders who don't know his nature, and after seeing his captain's smile, the team member also calmed down, and then reported to the three people in the house, "Report, report, the deputy captain of the sixth team, Sanjing, has escaped from prison!" ”

As soon as they heard that Aiji Sani, who had just been ordered by Captain Kuchigi to be sent to the Juban Team prison last night, had actually escaped from prison at this time, Matsumoto Ranju and Hibanya Fuyushiro didn't know for a while whether they should first ask each other how they broke through the Juban Team prison, or should they first sigh that the seriously injured vice-captain actually recovered his spirit overnight.

However, these two people couldn't express anything in the end, and could only sigh silently-

It's getting busier and messier.

Bai Lan's reaction was obviously much faster than theirs, he first asked the team member to retreat, and then said as he got up, "Look, another warrior who dares to openly resist the rules of the Corpse Soul Realm has appeared. ”

Before Matsumoto Ranju understood what Bailan's warrior was, he saw that his captain had already stepped out of the office door with one foot.

"Captain, where are you going?"

"Do you need to talk about that?" Bai Lan paused, then turned to them and smiled, "Of course, I went to the scene to investigate." ”

“…………”

At the same time, in the 13th team building, Ukitake Shishiro, who had just subsided in his fever, received a special visitor with his still somewhat weak sick body.

The other party is actually not a captain-level Grim Reaper, or even a member of the Thirteenth Team of the Imperial Court, and for Ukitake Shishiro, the connection between himself and the other party is actually only one person.

But that person is also a very important existence in Ukitake Shishiro's long captain's career.

- His vice-captain many years ago, Shiba Haiyan.

And the guest who came to visit this time was Shiba Haiyan's only sister and the current head of the Shiba family - Shiba Konghe.

"I'm sorry to bother you to recover, Ukitake," because of the relationship between his brother, the relationship between Kuzuru and Ukitake Shishiro is also passable, although not as close as she and Yoiichi Urahara, but not too polite, "But I came here today for a reason." ”

Ukitake Shishiro said after entertaining the refreshments at his three tables and leaving, "You didn't like to walk around the thirteenth team of the court in the past, but I think there is something very important to come here today, right?" ”

"It's okay for me, but it's just an errand run for others," Kuzuru waved his hand quite boldly, and then picked up the teacup and prepared to drink it, but as soon as it was brought to her mouth, she saw a troubled floating bamboo, so she could only put down the cup in her hand again and prepare to get down to business first, "I heard that the execution time of that little girl from the Bai Ya family was advanced?" ”

This sentence can be said to be poking at the key point of Ukitake Shishiro, who is both busy and worried about Kuchigi Rukia's affairs these days. Since he was captured and returned to the Corpse Soul Realm, he handed a letter of love to the central forty-sixth room, although there was no response or even reprimand, but the execution date was mentioned several times.

And the news just delivered through the Hell Butterfly almost made him fall into the sickbed again after recovering from a serious illness.

At this time, when he heard the empty crane ask him like this, although he didn't think that the other party was deliberately poking at his sore spot, he suddenly had a headache when he thought of it, "So Miss Kuzuru came here today for Rukia's business." ”

However, Kong He didn't answer him directly, but just hooked the corners of his mouth meaninglessly and continued, "I heard that this trip caused a lot of trouble in the Spirit Court, and it was actually to save that little girl, right?" They might be on the execution ground, but what are you going to do if they don't catch up? ”

“…… If I have the power to stop the Burning Eagle King," Ukitake Shishiro took a deep breath and replied to Kuzuru's inquiry with a determined expression, "then I will definitely stop this execution." ”

What the empty crane was waiting for was the sentence of Ukitake, she took out a boxy-looking wooden tablet from the ribbon around her waist, and then put it on the ground and pushed it in front of Ukitake, "This is what Jian Wen put here for me back then, huh...... Speaking of which, the guy got it from Yaichi. ”

Hearing the name Yaichi, Ukitake almost understood what this thing was.

After all, the most famous thing about the Sifeng Academy, in addition to the secret maneuver, is the title of the Heavenly Soldier Armor. If this thing is really as the empty crane said, it was originally from the Sifeng Yuan family, then it is not a matter of paper to stop the Burning Eagle King or something.

Ukitake was a little excited in his heart, but he didn't pick it up immediately, but asked with some concern, "Is it really okay to give me this, after all, this is the ...... left by Jian Wen."

"It's not a no-no, but if Jian Wen knew that this thing was used to stop this farce-like execution, she would be happy too."

Can Zhou Jian Wen not be happy?

After all, she personally handed this thing into her own hands and instructed herself to hand it over to Ukitake at the last moment.

"Then, I'll take it," after all, it was really needed, and Ukitake didn't shirk it anymore, "Thank you for giving this to me, Miss Kuzuru." ”

…………

The night before the execution was a rare quiet and eventless night after the invasion of the Soul Court, but there were probably not many people who could sleep on this night.

The members of the various teams who received the orders from above strengthened the patrols in the court and the vicinity of the teams, especially near the Confession Palace, which had just suffered a major crime the day before, and strengthened their vigilance under the instructions from above, for fear that those travelers would take advantage of the night to cause chaos.

As for the captains who don't need to go out on patrol, they are not much better, and they are thinking deeply about the hidden problems behind this chaos in the Soul Court, and the more simple ones are thinking about whether they can catch those travel disasters that are said to be quite capable of causing trouble on the execution ground tomorrow.

Of course, there are also unconscious ones like the captain of the third team; Waiting for the final finish, such as the captain of the second team and the captain of the twelfth team; And those who are diligently lifting the seals placed on the props, such as the captain of the thirteenth team.

And the captain of the Juban team, Bai Lan, is obviously not among them.

When the three seats of his family picked up all the processed documents and prepared to go out, Bai Lan, who had already covered the blanket of Ranju who had fallen on the sofa and entered sleep mode, suddenly stopped him with a voice.

Seeing that the usually lazy vice-captain was sleeping, Hibanya Winter Shirou lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong, captain?" ”

Bai Lan, who also lowered her voice, smiled and threw a bombshell at her three seats"You convey it to Ranju for me, and you will say that I will not go to the execution tomorrow." ”

"Is it really okay for you not to go on such occasions?" It was not a trivial matter for the captain to start a fire afterwards.

In addition, the order that "Rukia Kuchigi was sentenced to double capital punishment" was still issued by the Central Room 46, isn't Bai Lan's failure to appear tantamount to openly rebelling against the decision of the Central Room 46? If it is exaggerated by someone with a heart, Bailan will not be able to eat and will go around.

Bai Lan also saw the other party's concern, but he just patted the other party's shoulder, "If Xiaobai becomes the captain, he must be much more stable than most people." ”

This didn't sound like a joke, Hibanya Winter Shirou frowned and just wanted to ask his captain what he wanted to express, when he saw that he had withdrawn his hand, and then changed the subject leisurely, "I have a place I want to go tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back when the execution is carried out tomorrow." ”

The young man who had never understood his captain was asking questions, but Bai Lan had already waved him away.

Since his own captain had already given the order, it was not easy for Hibanya Winter Shirou to continue to stay, thinking that he must ask his captain what had happened in the future, so he entered the dim corridor with a large stack of documents that was not so well-lit.

Bai Lan, who stayed where she was, saw that the other party's figure had all fallen into darkness, and even the footsteps gradually faded away, she also closed the sliding door of the office, and then walked towards the other end of the corridor that was completely dim.

Then, disappear.

As Bai Lan said, he was not seen at the execution scene the next day. However, Sifeng Yuan, who had already arrived at the scene and was waiting to see the miraculous scene that Zhou Jianwen had mentioned, glanced at the night, only to find that there were more absent people than expected.

For example, the captain of the third team is still in a coma, the fifth team and the eleventh team have returned to the Soul Court but I don't know why, and the captain of the seventh team who rarely disobeys the orders of the chief captain, and the twelfth team who has expressed no interest in the execution at all in the morning.

Of course, the Ukitake of the 13th team also did not appear.

Coupled with Bai Lan, more than half of the captains of the Lingting Court were all absent.

Seeing that the time for the execution was getting closer and closer, but none of the absent captains showed signs of appearing, the captain was so angry that his beard, which had to be carefully braided every day, was about to explode.

But rules are rules, and what has been decided will not be changed by one person, let alone by the resistance of those captains.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the chief captain no longer bothered with the captains who were absent one by one for some reason, but asked Rukia Kuchigi, who had been placed on a high platform and was just waiting for the time to start the execution-

"Rukia Kuchigi, do you have any last words to confess?"

The girl who was questioned did not hesitate for long, and then replied to the captain who asked her so much—

"Yes, only one thing."

After her death, please send the Travelers back unscathed.

Everyone present knew whether this last word would really be accepted, but for Rukia Kuchigi, who knew that it would never be accepted, the captain still had the last bit of mercy for the dying person and "agreed" to her request.

As a result, the two sides were liberated.

The ropes that bound the huge blades were broken one by one under the special liberation of the ghosts used by the ghosts, and when the shackles that bound the blades were removed, the double gravel frame also began to activate, pushing the girl who was originally placed on the high platform to the top of the gravel frame.

At this time, the blade that had broken the seal was also completely liberated, and erupted with amazing flames as it rose from the ground.

The huge energy and dazzling fire didn't actually frighten the captains and vice-captains who were mostly seen in the world, but the subsequent form change made the people who saw the liberation for the first time a little dumbfounded.

Because it was no longer a sharp blade that looked like a naginata, but a huge golden phoenix with flames attached to it.

Rukia, who was closest to it, felt the heat, and as she was about to die, she somehow remembered her life in the Corpse Soul Realm, the people she had met, and the care and redemption she had received from them.

She felt as if something had been left out of the corner of her eye, but it quickly evaporated in the heat emitted by the twin blades of her name, the Burning Eagle King.

Rukia Kuchigi, who felt that she was about to die without regrets, closed her eyes, but the expected pain did not sweep over her, and there was silence underneath - maybe there was some sound, but unfortunately he couldn't hear it. So Rukia, who didn't get any hints, opened her eyes again, and then saw the familiar back in the firelight.

And the orange head of the dazzling moment.

What happened next seemed so bizarre, but in reality it was naturally terrifying. After Ukitake Shiro and Kyoraku Harusui joined forces to seal the seal, Kurosaki Ichigo also split the gravel frame of the two gods, and handed Rukia to the newly arrived Koiji.

The vice-captains of the other teams, led by the vice-captain of the second team, were about to chase after him, but the next moment-

A bombardment that was familiar to Kuchigi Hakuya came from the sky again.

The attack was as dense as a summer rainstorm, but it was a hundred times more ferocious than the torrential rain - ordinary rain, no matter how ferocious, still hurt a little on the body, but this ferocious air raid was fatal if it was not careful.

Among the people present, Kuchigi Hakuya, who had already experienced the baptism of this bombardment, hurriedly began to relieve Chibon Sakura, and while protecting part of the blade above his head, the other part was also under his manipulation and attacked the undoubted creator of this attack.

Although this black-haired and red-clothed woman was not the same as the silver-haired woman he had seen in front of the gate of the Confession Palace that day; But judging by her unfamiliar face, and the clothes and bows and arrows that resembled the woman of that day, Kuchigi Hakuya felt that she had every reason to believe that she was the culprit in the bombing.

However, his attack didn't succeed, not only because the woman disappeared into the woods on the edge of the twin with unimaginable speed, but also because Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly slashed at him with a knife.

"Yo," the young man, who seemed to be a little different from the previous day, greeted Kuchigi Hakuya nonchalantly, "I'm looking for you." ”

"Rotten wood is white."

…………

While half of the Tai Ling Court was surprised and confused by what had happened in Shuang Ji, there was still a place in the Ling Ling Court that could maintain a deathly silence.

It was even a veritable "deathly silence", because dozens of corpses were laid to rest in various forms in that dimly lit place, almost cut off from all light.

On the floor, on the walls, on the table, on the door, and even on the ceiling, the blood that had been splattered everywhere had dried up, and the dark imprint had not diluted its peculiar smell because of the change in form, but rather that it had lasted too long in the confined space, and the disgusting smell of rust had permeated everywhere, as if it would be stained with the smell if it stayed here for a while.

The corpses that have undergone special treatment after death do not emit the smell of decay, but they are all maintained in a very wicked way.

Bai Lan sat quietly in the quiet tower of the Kulin at a distance from the murder scene, because it was not the scene of the murder, so the place still maintained the posture of many days before the incident - there was not the slightest smell of blood, quiet, but full of rotten atmosphere.

He found a comfortable chair at random and sat down, holding in his hand a book that he had picked up at random on the bookshelf of Zhou Jianwen, and his state of mind was as boring as the book in his hand, and he couldn't arouse any interest.

It's not that he really wants to stay here, it's just that there must be a lot of chaos outside now, and I'm afraid that only this side is the quietest in the entire Soul Court except for the Infernal Hell.

Second...... He's waiting.

Waiting for the existence that Zhou Jianwen once mentioned in passing, it may be an unplanned existence called a surprise.

Kisuke Urahara and Yoichi Shikaedin have been enveloped into becoming their own people, so who else in this Ryō Court can perceive the truth under the various arrangements of him and Zhou Jian Min—even if it is only the slightest bit?

He was really looking forward to seeing if there was anything that would make him happy in this boring farce.

Thinking so, Bai Lan heard the sound of the outermost door being slowly pushed open, followed by footsteps from far and near. Bai Lan had already left the book aside, and stared at the door with interest, waiting for the appearance of the so-called smart man.

Then he saw the last door pushed open from the outside, and by the faint light of the room he could see the face of the man outside the dim room.

"I didn't expect ......"

The smile on Bai Lan's face suddenly became bright, and he even stood up from his seat happily when he saw the person coming.

"It's you." 166 Reading Network
