Chapter 95

But when he saw the number on Lavigne's neck, his face changed instantly.

"Y-you are..."

"Espada subordinate, do I need to tell you who I work for?" Lavigne stared at him coldly.

"No need!" The captain Hollow stood up immediately and looked at Lavigne respectfully.

"If I catch you slacking off again, you're dead!" Lavigne looked at him coldly.

"Understood!"

After finishing all this, Lavigne left. She finally relaxed after arriving at the place where Kuchiki Senya and the others were.

"It was so tense. I was really afraid he would ask who I was following..." Lavigne's heart was about to jump out.

Kuchiki Senya smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, you did a great job."

They had already deceived that captain, and they had already arrived in the inner city. Next, they would be much freer.

118, Lord Senya, Where Are We Going?

In the city, they began to act cautiously, constantly taking detours, hiding, and avoiding patrol teams, trying their best not to attract the attention of others.

"Lord Senya, where are we going?" Sasaki finally couldn't help but ask.

"To find someone who knows this place. We must first clarify the situation here," Kuchiki Senya said softly, looking at the patrol teams constantly passing by.

Everyone nodded. They had no objections to Kuchiki Senya's decisions now because they found that Kuchiki Senya's decisions were always very correct.

They gradually approached a relatively prosperous area, where the buildings were taller and more magnificent, and the patrol teams were denser.

"Lord Senya?" Sasaki asked again.

"To... to find a defector," Kuchiki Senya gave a shocking answer.

Everyone looked at Kuchiki Senya in surprise. A defected Shinigami? This is no small matter. If discovered, even if they had Hollowfication, they wouldn't be able to escape, right?

"Don't worry, I have already contacted this person. He should leave there before we arrive," Kuchiki Senya said indifferently.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Kuchiki Senya had already made arrangements.

They bypassed a block and came to a relatively quiet place, where there was a relatively remote mansion.

Kuchiki Senya went up and knocked on the door. Not long after, the door opened, and a middle-aged man appeared at the door.

Seeing Kuchiki Senya, his face changed slightly, and he said, "You... Lord Senya? Why are you here?"

"I came here to take refuge, but I didn't expect to meet a traitor like you," Kuchiki Senya said coldly.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Senya, I am not a traitor; I am just dissatisfied with the rule of the Royal Guard."

"Then why are you helping us now?" Kuchiki Senya asked.

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I have already contacted Lord Aizen, and he promised to help me restore my status..."

Kuchiki Senya interrupted him and said, "We don't have much time left. You'd better take us to a safe place immediately."

The middle-aged man nodded and turned to lead them into the mansion.

In the basement of the mansion, they found a hidden room, which was clearly where the middle-aged man was hiding.

"It's very safe here. I've been hiding here for a long time," the middle-aged man said.

After Kuchiki Senya let him leave, he left Lavigne here to watch the room. Although it was safe here, it was a strange place after all, so leaving someone to guard it would be safer.

After they left the mansion, they headed toward the next target.

This time their destination was a relatively remote area, which was a slum, mostly ordinary people. Although some Hollows appeared here, the number was not large.

They quietly entered this area and began to explore everywhere.

Kuchiki Senya saw some civilians gathered in a corner discussing something, and he walked over curiously to take a look.

It turned out to be a lottery stall, and the prizes were some small things, such as food, daily necessities, etc.

"This stall appeared recently. It is said that it was set up by an old man named Bach," a man who looked relatively talkative said to Kuchiki Senya.

"Bach?" Kuchiki Senya frowned. This name seemed to have been heard somewhere.

"My lord, do you know him?" the man asked.

Kuchiki Senya shook his head and said, "No, I don't know him, but the name sounds familiar."

They didn't stay on this topic for long but continued toward their goal.

There was also a tavern in this area, and there weren't many people inside. After Kuchiki Senya and the others walked in, they found a relatively remote corner to sit down.

Seeing them, the tavern owner asked in surprise, "My lords? Why would you come to such a place?"

Kuchiki Senya smiled slightly and said, "We just came here to rest, and also, I want to ask you some things."

The tavern owner nodded and bowed immediately, saying, "Please ask whatever you want; the little one will tell you everything he knows."

"Have you heard of the name Bach?" Kuchiki Senya asked.

"Bach? Are you talking about that Bach? He is a celebrity here; many people know him," the tavern owner said proudly.

"Who is he? Is he very famous here?" Kuchiki Senya asked again. ..

The tavern owner looked at Kuchiki Senya in surprise and said, "Lord Bach is one of the members of the Royal Guard, and he is very famous here."

After hearing the name of the Royal Guard, Kuchiki Senya was shocked. He grabbed the tavern owner by the collar and lifted him up.

"What did you just say? Say it again!" Kuchiki Senya's tone became extremely severe.

The tavern owner was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he stammered, "Lord Bach is one of the members of the Royal Guard, he is a celebrity here..."

Kuchiki Senya let go, and the tavern owner fell back into his seat. His face became extremely ugly. The Royal Guard actually appeared here? This made him feel very uneasy.

"Do you know where Lord Bach is?" Kuchiki Senya asked again.

The tavern owner nodded and said, "Lord Bach often patrols outside the city. If you want to find him, you can go outside the city and try your luck."

Kuchiki Senya and the others left the tavern and walked toward the outside of the city. Their mood became extremely heavy. The appearance of the Royal Guard made them feel a great threat.

Outside the city, on a barren land, only a few dilapidated buildings stood here. Kuchiki Senya and the others shuttled between the buildings, their moods becoming extremely heavy.

"Lord Senya, what should we do now?" Sasaki asked.

"We continue to move forward until we find Bach," Kuchiki Senya's tone was firm.

2.1 Everyone nodded. They knew that now was not the time for nonsense; they must find Bach as soon as possible to ensure their safety.

They continued to move forward, passing one dilapidated building after another, and finally came to a relatively new building. This building looked relatively sturdy, and there were several guards guarding the entrance.

Kuchiki Senya guessed that this building might be the station of the Royal Guard, so he walked up and stated his identity directly. Upon hearing his name, the guards let them in immediately.

Inside the building, they found a relatively spacious hall. Some team members were resting in the hall, and some were training.

"You finally came. I have been waiting for your arrival," a voice sounded, and a person wearing a black team uniform appeared in front of them.

119, Captain of the Royal Guard—Bach!

Kuchiki Senya looked at this person in surprise. He recognized that this person was Bach.

Bach looked at them with a smile and said, "I heard that you have sneaked in here. I have been waiting for your arrival."

Kuchiki Senya's brows were locked, and he asked, "Who are you? How do you know our plan?"

Bach smiled and said, "I am the Captain of the Royal Guard, and everything you do is under my control."

Everyone looked at Bach in surprise, feeling very shocked. The Royal Guard turned out to be their enemy, and also the biggest obstacle to their plan.

Bach continued, "You are my prisoners now. I suggest you honestly confess your plan and then join my team to work for me."

After hearing this suggestion, everyone shook their heads and refused. Kuchiki Senya drew his sword directly, preparing to fight Bach.

Seeing their reaction, Bach was not angry but laughed instead. He waved his hand and let his subordinates prepare for battle.

A fierce battle unfolded. The duel between Kuchiki Senya and Bach was particularly intense. Their Hollowfication abilities canceled each other out, forcing them to fight with their physical bodies. Other team members were also locked in a stalemate with the members of the Royal Guard.

Although Kuchiki Senya and the others also used Hollowfication, their Hollowfication time was very short and had limitations. In contrast, the members of the Royal Guard had longer Hollowfication times and no limitations. Therefore, in the battle, Kuchiki Senya and the others gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Lord Senya, are you okay?" Seeing Kuchiki Senya injured, Lavigne rushed over and asked.

"I'm fine," Kuchiki Senya said, gritting his teeth. His wound was bleeding, but he didn't want to stop and rest. He knew that now was not the time for nonsense; he must defeat Bach as soon as possible.

However, Bach was not so easy to defeat. His strength was extremely strong, and his Hollowfication ability was also very powerful. In the battle, he constantly used his Hollowfication ability to dodge and attack, leaving Kuchiki Senya and the others helpless.

"You'd better surrender." Bach appeared in front of Kuchiki Senya again, holding a Hollow sword in his hand, threatening Kuchiki Senya's life.

Kuchiki Senya shook his head helplessly. He knew that this battle had reached the final moment. He looked up at Bach and said, "We will not surrender."

After saying that, he rushed toward Bach. His blade cut through the air, making a harsh sound. However, Bach was not frightened by this attack. He swung his Hollow sword and met him.

The two figures intertwined, and their weapons collided, sending out sparks. In a very short time, they exchanged dozens of moves but didn't decide the winner.

Kuchiki Senya felt his physical strength consuming rapidly, and his movements were becoming slower and slower. He knew his Hollowfication time was about to end, but he hadn't found a way to defeat Bach.

However, just as his Hollowfication time was about to end, Bach suddenly launched an attack. His Hollow sword stabbed toward Kuchiki Senya's chest. Kuchiki Senya could only swing his sword to block this attack. However, his sword was shattered by the Hollow sword, and in the next instant, the Hollow sword had pierced through his body.

Kuchiki Senya felt a sharp pain coming, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He looked down at his wound, where blood was flowing like a river, staining his clothes red.

Bach didn't stop; he swung his Hollow sword again, preparing to continue the attack. Kuchiki Senya knew he couldn't dodge this attack anymore; he could only close his eyes and wait for death to come.

However, just at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Bach, stop!" Hearing this voice, Bach immediately stopped the attack and turned to look at the person who came.

Kuchiki Senya also saw this person and was very surprised. Because this person turned out to be one of his teammates, Sasaki.
