Chapter 42: The Prologue to the Battle

"Damn it, such stupid! I was so blind that I would take him as a companion! Ishida Yuryu, who was still angry, cursed Ichigo in a low voice while following the team of Grim Reaper in front of him.

As a genius, Ishida Yuryu naturally thought of the method of 'camouflage'. But what he didn't notice was that the badge of the Grim Reaper in front of him was 'thistle', and the badge on the clothes he pulled off from the group of Grim Reapers, who were defeated by them, was 'sawweed'!

However, Ishida Yuryu, who didn't know that he might be in danger, was still following the team of deaths.

"Captain!" Suddenly, the group of Grim Reaper in front of them stopped and greeted a guy in white featherweave but dressed like a clown who was slowly walking on the opposite side.

There is no doubt that the guy called 'Captain' is Nirvana, who has just been choked by Madara and driven out of the fourth team by Uno Hanari.

After an expressionless 'um' sound, Nirvana walked past the team of Grim Reapers, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Ishida Yuryu with his head bowed and trying to fool around with the Grim Reaper in front of him.

"Wait!" Nirvana stopped Ishida Yuryu, then turned around, pointed to the team badge on Ishida's clothes, and said to Nirvana who had been following him: "Otomeng, I remember, when we were in the fourth team, that Ie Village eighty thousand and said that the eleventh team was wiped out except for the deputy captain Kusaka eight thousand ryu." ”

After hearing Nirvana's words, Nirvana lowered her head and thought for a while, "Ie Village Sanxi said that there was a soldier in Team 11 who lost his Death Overlord suit after being knocked unconscious. ”

"That's it," Nirvana was a little excited, and was worried that he wouldn't be able to catch a travel disaster to study, but he really sent one automatically, so he waved his hand to let the rest of the Grim Reaper leave, and said to Ishida Yuryu, "Grab it, boy!" I could also consider making your experiment process less painful! ”

The answer to Nirvana was three Lingzi light arrows that shot in the shape of a pin. It turned out that as early as when he was stopped by Nirvana, Ishida made preparations, and after Nirvana finished speaking, Ishida did not hesitate at all, took a few steps back, and then raised his hand to summon a spirit bow and shot three arrows at Nirvana.

"Ah~ What, this trip is a destroyer!" As if she had been deceived, Nirvana's voice was full of disappointment, "You know what, boy! ”

Nirvana was worthy of the name of 'Captain', and with a slight flick of his finger, the three arrows were shattered. Then, Nirvana took two steps towards Ishida, watched him take two steps back after following him, and continued, "When I became the director of the Technology Development Bureau, the Exterminator had become a rare breed, and I included the remaining surviving people in the surveillance. ”

Nirvana advanced again, and a huge pressure emanated from his body, which made Ishida retreat again: "I ordered those watchers to delay the rescue before they could get their souls, how difficult it is!" But despite all the hard work, I don't have enough funding for scientific research. Those damn guys! Speaking of the back, Nirvana became a little excited.

"Forget it, let's move on," Nirvana finally returned to the 'main topic' and continued. "But now, I don't need to study the Exterminator anymore. Because, I already know everything about you. ”

Listening to Nirvana's words, Ishida Yuryu couldn't help but shoot several arrows at him again, but none of those arrows could withstand Nirvana's force, and they all collapsed in the end. Then, Nirvana stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Ishida's throat, then slammed him against the wall beside him.

"Bang!" Ishida Yuryu slammed into two walls in a row before sliding to the ground on the third wall. The violent impact made Ishida's mind a little dazed, and it took a long time to come to his senses. By this time, Nirvana had come to his side.

"Two thousand one hundred and seventy-four," Nirvana said with some emotion, "I have studied so many exterminators in total before I can figure you out. ”

As he spoke, Nirvana bent down, looked at Ishida Yulong, and laughed sadly: "The last one is a dirty old man, who has been chanting the name of a disciple or a grandson who I don't know. Hearing this, Ishida Yulong was shocked in his heart, as if he had thought of something.

"Affection is such a great thing! I really want to thank it, thanks to it, that the old man lasted so long before he was tortured to death by me, which made the process of my experiment much faster. Nirvana said in an aria as she pulled out a picture from his purple lapel coat and tossed it to Ishida Yuryu, "By the way, look at it, it's his picture." However, it is a photograph after the experiment. ”

Ishida Yulong mechanically picked up the photo and saw his grandfather's kind face that had been distorted by pain, and then he raised his head, stared at Nirvana and said, "I swear that I will kill you under the name of 'The Last Exterminator'!" ”

"I didn't think it was a sewer!" Shiba Iwashi said with some admiration that they had entered the sewers under the leadership of Hanataro and were heading towards the Confession Palace.

"Well, this sewer is all over the Meditation Court, and it can be reached anywhere without hindrance. And, while everyone knows about this place, the only one who can master the complex terrain here is our Fourth Brigade, which is responsible for rescue and supply. Hanataro said as he led the way in front of him.

"Ah, is this still a supply route? No wonder your supply troops are able to master the terrain here! When Orihime heard Hanataro's words, she couldn't help but say with some admiration.

"Oh no," Hanataro said, scratching his head, a little embarrassed, "It's just that it's our fourth team that is in charge of cleaning up here." Because we were weak, we had to be assigned to do chores."

"Hanataro," Ichigo, who had calmed down, called out to his and the other guides, "why are you helping us?" We're enemies, aren't we? Why did you decide to help us after knowing we were going to save Rukia? ”

Hearing Ichigo's question, Hanataro paused, then lowered his head, Rukia's face flashed in his mind. After a long time, Hanataro turned around and said to Ichigo, "I've heard about you a long time ago from Miss Rukia."

Here, Hanataro is still reminiscing about his past when he took care of Rukia, but on the other side, there is a situation at the vice-captain's meeting.

The third seat of the Fourth Brigade, Iemura Yachiwa, was making regular reports to the deputy captains of each team, and reported the news that the 11th Brigade had almost completely been wiped out.

"Team Eleven?"

"It won't!"

"Even Captain Saragi"

"It's only been a few hours since the enemy invaded!"

When the vice-captains heard the news, they couldn't help but whisper.

Ignoring the vice-captains, Ie Village Eighty Thousand and continued to report the news. As the information was transmitted, the voices of the vice-captains became louder.

"It's getting serious, Asani! This time the enemy seems to be very strong! The vice-captain of the Goban team, the cute and delicate Hinamori Momo, turned his head and wanted to say something to his childhood friend Aisai Koiji, but found that he had left at some point. Only one door had been opened, still creaking.

"Ah, here it is. We're here! After a long journey, Hanataro finally led Ichigo and the others down the sewer to the bottom of the steps of the Confession Palace, and he lifted the stone slab on his head while bowing his head to Ichigo below.

"Ahh Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed Hanataro's neck, causing him to let out a short, high-pitched exclamation. Then, the owner of the hand picked up Hanataro and threw it aside. At this time, Hanataro realized that it was the vice captain of the Rokuban team who attacked him-Aisani Koiji!

After hearing Hanataro's scream, Ichigo knew that he was in a bad mood, so he jumped up after Hanataro was picked up and thrown away. Then, he pulled out the slashing moon behind his back, and slashed three times in a lightning row, attacking Asai Koiji.

Caught off guard, Koiji was knocked back a few steps by Ichigo's attack, then stabilized himself and kicked Ichigo in the chest, kicking him out a few steps. However, at this time, Shiba Iwashi and Inoue Orihime in the back have also come out of the sewers. Ichigo's purpose has been achieved.

"Yo, I've been waiting for you for a long time, boy!" Slowly drawing out his slashing sword, Koiji raised his head haughtily and said to Ichigo.

"Heh, you can't wait to be taught a lesson by me?" Seeing that his opponent turned out to be Asai Koiji, Ichigo couldn't help but show a sneer, "You should be ready to fail, because the current me is compared to before"

"It's very different!"
