Chapter 1496: Visitor

Kurotsuchi Mayuri looked at the empty sword rack in astonishment. He had a moment of loss. In the hundreds of years since he became a Soul Reaper, he had never thought that his Zanpakuto could be stolen; this was simply impossible.

There was a deep connection between Soul Reapers and Zanpakuto, a connection from the soul. Unfortunately, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang blocked this connection, or rather, it let the Zanpakuto integrate into the environment together with it.

After Kurotsuchi Mayuri's initial astonishment, he soon came back to his senses. His gaze swept across the surroundings, because he felt that his Zanpakuto, "Ashisogi Jizo," was nearby.

"No need to hide, come out."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri snorted coldly, his face showing disdain. He looked calm, but he was actually very uneasy in his heart. He had already notified the sentries in the experimental building through special means to seal off this building.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, not far away, glanced at Kurotsuchi Mayuri. It didn't know how many times it had experienced this kind of low-level trick.

"Since you refuse to appear voluntarily, then die here."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri moved his ten fingers. His fingers were like withered tree branches, giving people a very unnatural feeling.

If there were others present, they would definitely think that Kurotsuchi Mayuri was going to use a killing move. Unfortunately, Kurotsuchi Mayuri just stood in place and did nothing, because he couldn't sense Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Boom!

A loud noise came from outside the experimental building. This sound was actually a signal. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rushed toward the outside of the room, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri did the same, only he didn't see Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's existence.

A moment later, Kurotsuchi Mayuri arrived at the main gate of the experimental building. The metal door built with killing-intent stone had been blown open, and several corpses were lying around, with blade wounds on their bodies.

"Captain, the thief escaped toward that side!"

A Soul Reaper with a severed arm leaned in the corner. His face was pale, and he could faint at any time.

"Wrong."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri rushed to the hole in the main gate in a few steps, blocking the way, because he had already figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

First, an enemy he couldn't see sneaked into the experimental building and stole his Zanpakuto. At the same time, the thief's accomplice attacked the experimental building from the front and destroyed the main gate, which was clearly helping that thief clear the way.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's speculation was already very close to the truth, but he miscalculated one point, which was that Shadow attacking the main gate of the experimental building was just to lure him out.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri just guarded the main gate when a sound of building collapse came from the side of the experimental building. Hearing this sound, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's face changed. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't go to the side of the experimental building; it was too late, and it was meaningless to arrive there now.

The corners of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's mouth twitched violently. He knew the consequences of losing his Zanpakuto. Seven-tenths of his strength was in his Zanpakuto. If his Zanpakuto was lost, his former enemies would definitely try every possible way to put him to death.

Thinking of this point, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's face became even uglier.

"Captain, someone invaded our barracks."

A slightly chubby Soul Reaper ran over in a hurry, looking flustered.

"Do you think I'm blind."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri lowered his eyelids, already furious in his heart.

"Captain, we should..."

Slap!

Kurotsuchi Mayuri pressed one hand on the chubby Soul Reaper's mouth, with such force that he almost slapped the chubby Soul Reaper unconscious.

"Shh..."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's index finger was held in front of his mouth, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"So it was there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurotsuchi Mayuri stepped on the ground and disappeared from the spot.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri could sense his Zanpakuto completely because Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang gave up the shielding of that Zanpakuto. It was testing how far the connection between Kurotsuchi Mayuri and the Zanpakuto could be maintained. This time, the distance it tested was half a kilometer.

When Kurotsuchi Mayuri arrived at the fastest speed, he only found a string of messages on the nearby ground.

"Give up, you can't do it."

Seeing this message, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's lips began to tremble. This was from anger, but this was just the beginning of everything.

0.5 kilometers, 1 kilometer, 1.2 kilometers, 2 kilometers. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang gradually tested the sensing distance between Kurotsuchi Mayuri and the Zanpakuto, while Kurotsuchi Mayuri was exhausted from running.

Three hours later.

"Damn it!!"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri clenched his fists and let out a roar. The Soul Reapers passing by looked sideways one after another.

Regarding the loss of his Zanpakuto, Kurotsuchi Mayuri hadn't notified other captains yet, for a simple reason: he couldn't afford to lose face. As the captain of the Twelfth Division, he actually lost his Zanpakuto in his own home. This was what kind of unbelievable thing.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already tested the sensing distance between Kurotsuchi Mayuri and the Zanpakuto. At about 2.3 kilometers, beyond this distance, Kurotsuchi Mayuri couldn't sense the location of the Zanpakuto.

With such a long sensing distance, it was no wonder that Soul Reapers didn't worry about Zanpakuto being lost. Once someone tried to steal a Zanpakuto, the Soul Reapers would discover it at the first opportunity and track it.

First Division barracks, inside Su Xiao's room.

The door was pushed open without warning and closed by itself. This strange situation was of course Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang returning.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang didn't bring back the Zanpakuto. Bringing the Zanpakuto to Su Xiao's residence was the most unwise move. It hid Kurotsuchi Mayuri's Zanpakuto in the forest in the Rukongai area, guarded by Shadow.

Since Aizen was murdered, Su Xiao had often gone out, but he only appeared between the First Division barracks and the Fifth Division barracks, ostensibly investigating the cause of Aizen's death.

First Aizen was murdered, now Komamura Sajin died at the White Way Gate, plus the Ryoka invasion of the Soul Society, the Gotei 13 was overwhelmed for a time.

And at noon that day, another explosive news spread among the Soul Reaper captains: Twelfth Division Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri's Zanpakuto was lost.

All the captains felt unbelievable. Kurotsuchi Mayuri mobilized all the Soul Reapers of the Twelfth Division and began a large-scale search for the Zanpakuto.

Su Xiao didn't care about this at all. He still maintained his previous trajectory of action, continuously manufacturing Reishi spheres. The more of this thing, the better. Of course, the extra Reishi spheres weren't used to be handed over to the Seireitei.

At 4:00 PM that day, the door was pushed open, and a girl with short hair and bangs, with a petite figure, walked into the room. Her expression was somewhat cold.

"Bai Ye, come with me."

The girl's eyes showed cold light. She was the Second Division Captain, Soi Fon.

Su Xiao, in front of the test bench, put down the test tube in his hand and picked up a wooden box, which contained 100 Reishi spheres.

"Take it."

Su Xiao threw the wooden box to Soi Fon and stood up to walk out of the room.

"Go this way."

Soi Fon didn't seem to intend to take Su Xiao away from the wooden building, but instead headed deeper. With so many things happening in the Seireitei, as long as the Soul Reaper captains' brains weren't flooded, they would suspect Su Xiao, and Su Xiao had long been prepared.

After the two wandered around the wooden building a few times, they arrived in front of a room on the first basement level.

With a creak, Soi Fon pushed open the door, signaling that Su Xiao could enter.

"Tch, it's already this time, you can actually continue to disguise."

Soi Fon hugged her shoulders with both hands, and she wore a protective finger blade on the middle finger of her right hand. This was the appearance of her Zanpakuto after Shikai. ===== CHAPTER 1497 =====

"Tch, even at this point, you can still continue to pretend."

Soi Fon hugged her shoulders with both hands; on the middle finger of her right hand, she wore a finger-guard blade, which was the appearance of her Zanpakuto after Shikai.
