Death: Captain Millennium

Chapter 282 Amazing reversal

Kariya and his team sat together, solemnly discussing which crucial step had gone awry, leading to Inoue Orihime's capture by the enemy. Each of them, their brows furrowed, carefully recalled every detail of the operation, trying to find a clue.

On the other side of the city, Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryu Ishida and others were desperately chasing after Lilin, Zhiba and Zangren, three mischievous guys.

They chased him from the street to the end of the alley, and then from the downtown area to the suburbs, almost circling the entire Karakura Town. Along the way, several people were panting, sweating profusely, and exhausted like dead dogs.

However, just when everyone thought that things had gotten out of control, the plot took a 180-degree turn, and this seemingly thrilling kidnapping incident turned out to be just a farce!

The instigator turned out to be Urahara Kisuke. He carefully planned all this in order to stimulate Ichigo Kurosaki to use his Bankai again and use it as a prelude to deal with the upcoming Soul Hunter.

This unexpected ending left everyone jaw-dropping. No one expected things to end this way.

"Clogs and hats! You have absolutely no moral integrity. You're actually treating us like fools..."

Ichigo pointed at Urahara Kisuke's nose and yelled, "What does this damn guy think they are? He's running all over Sora-cho! You wouldn't even be walking your dog like that!"

"Kurosaki-san! Don't you see a problem? It seems like you can't use your Bankai anymore!"

Urahara Kisuke still had that smug expression on his face, and he smiled and said a fact that even Kurosaki Ichigo himself hadn't noticed.

"That's right! I tried to use Bankai just now, but it didn't work."

Ichigo realized later that he really couldn't use his Bankai.

"Kurosaki-san, you have to understand that your Bankai is actually a quick-learning version. In Soul Society, where the Reizo is so abundant, it's not particularly unusual for you to successfully perform Bankai. But in the real world, it's completely different! There aren't that many Reizo available for you to draw upon, so it's very difficult for you to perform Bankai."

"And there's another crucial point. The Shinigami Proxy Certificate you hold has a significant drawback. While it grants you the ability to detach from your body and transform into a Shinigami at any moment, it also somewhat suppresses your spiritual power, preventing you from successfully completing your Bankai!"

Urahara Kisuke patiently and tirelessly explains to Ichigo Kurosaki the reasons why he has difficulty in attaining Bankai. To be frank, it all comes down to Ichigo Kurosaki's own weakness!

Just as Ichigo and the others were discussing these issues, Yoruichi came to the door.

In recent days, several Shinigami stationed in the human world have died mysteriously one after another. Such an abnormal situation naturally quickly aroused the vigilance and attention of the top leaders of the Gotei 13.

The captain immediately issued an order, sending Soi Fong to lead a secret mobile force to rush to the real world to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation.

After arriving in the real world, Soi Fong immediately contacted Yoruichi and asked her to help her investigate the truth behind this abnormal phenomenon.

Just now, Yoruichi and Soi Fong discovered Souma Noyoshi who was out sucking the souls of living people, and fought with her, but Souma Noyoshi escaped.

I have to say that Yoruichi and Soi Fong are also veteran actors. With their strength, wouldn't it be easy for them to defeat Souma Noyoshi?

"Kisuke! Ichigoku! It would be much easier if you were all here."

Yoruichi rambled on and on, telling everyone what had happened from the moment Soul Society became aware of the Soul Hunters' presence to the moment they had just arrived.

"Soul Hunter? What is that?"

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Yoruichi with a confused look on his face. His Holy Word D was activated again at this moment, and he had no idea what Yoruichi meant.

"What is a soul hunter..."

Urahara Kisuke patiently told Ichigo the origins of this group of mysterious people.

Urahara Kisuke explained it in detail again, but Kurosaki Ichigo still looked ignorant, which made him wonder if Kurosaki Isshin was too strict with his son and beat Ichigo into a fool?

After all, Ye Yi had just explained the matter very clearly, but this kid still had no reaction like a wooden man.

"Oh, by the way, there's one crucial thing I almost forgot to tell you! These soul hunters don't just suck the souls of ordinary humans. They're even more interested in souls like you that possess spiritual power! Hehehe..."

At this moment, Urahara Kisuke seemed to have suddenly remembered something important. He deliberately put on a smug expression, covered half of his face with the folding fan in his hand, and chuckled.

"Ah! Then, what should we do?"

After hearing Kisuke's words, Orihime was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't help but scream.

You have to know that Orihime herself does not have very strong combat ability. If she is unfortunately targeted by these terrible soul hunters, then it will be over!

"Ms. Orihime, please rest assured! We have powerful helpers here. Zangren, Lilin, and Zhiba. All three of them can accurately detect the unique spiritual power fluctuations of the Soul Hunter."

"So let them stay with you all the time. If you really encounter any dangerous situation, I believe that with their outstanding abilities, they will be able to protect you well."

Urahara Kisuke had a reassuring smile on his face, and he naturally and logically assigned Kōto and others to Ichigo and his group.

As for Ichigo, Orihime, Uryu, and Chad, how to properly distribute these three specially transformed souls is a problem that they need to consider and solve on their own. This is not something that Urahara Kisuke needs to worry about.

"Thank you very much! Clogs and hat."

Ichigo and his companions, who were kept in the dark, naively thanked Urahara Kisuke. They really didn't even realize they were being betrayed. They were so stupid and easy to fool.

"Kisuke, you're so mean! You actually tricked a few kids."

After Ichigo and the others said their goodbyes, Yoruichi couldn't help but laugh anymore.

"Oh! Same here, Yoruichi-san, you're not a good person either. A mere Soul Hunter actually escaped under the siege of two captains. You can only deceive these kids. Do you dare to say that you and Soi-Fong didn't do it on purpose?"

"Ha ha……"

The two men, each with their own ulterior motives, smiled at each other. In the final analysis, it was all a trap set up to hone Ichigo and the others' strength.

Only Kariya and his group of soul hunters naively believed that their plan was flawless. They had no idea that they were just pawns deliberately left behind by Soul Society to train the younger generation, and were being played around in the palm of their hands.

A moment of silence for these ignorant people, it’s really tragic!
