Chapter 1498: Fangs
Su Xiao walked on the street of the First Division barracks, Soi Fon walking side by side with him, and Hinamori Momo was also there.
"Mr. Bai Ye, are you okay?"
Hinamori Momo's emotions had stabilized, but there was still some sadness in her eyes.
"Of course I'm okay. Such a thing happened in the Seireitei, so of course there is a need for sequential investigation. If I were murdered one day, I would also hope that someone could find the murderer."
Su Xiao was still that casual and lazy appearance. His purpose for this trip was an izakaya. Hinamori Momo learned that Su Xiao was suspected, so she rushed to the First Division barracks. The good news was that Su Xiao soon cleared his suspicion.
It was noon, so Hinamori Momo wanted to invite Su Xiao to have a light meal and ask Su Xiao about the results of his investigation into Aizen's murder in the past few days.
As Aizen's former subordinate, Su Xiao shouldn't refuse in every sense, or rather, he couldn't refuse, and the izakaya was nearby, not for drinking, just for a light meal.
The three walked on the street. Su Xiao chatted with Hinamori Momo occasionally. He of course wouldn't mention Aizen's matter; that was a manifestation of low emotional intelligence.
"Hinamori, over here."
A big-chested imperial sister waved in the distance. Hinamori Momo quickened her pace, and the big-chested imperial sister walked toward them.
"What are you doing?"
The person who came was Matsumoto Rangiku. She looked at the three in confusion, not understanding why these three were together. Originally, after the interrogation, Soi Fon wanted to leave, but Hinamori Momo invited Su Xiao to have lunch together, so of course, she had to politely invite Soi Fon as well.
Soi Fon didn't want to have lunch with Su Xiao at all. She just wanted to refuse, but Hinamori Momo said: "Captain Soi Fon shouldn't refuse, right."
In this way, Soi Fon had no choice but to hold her nose and come over for a meal; looking at her demeanor, it was clear she wanted to deal with it perfunctorily and leave the table as soon as possible.
Now seeing Matsumoto Rangiku, Soi Fon's expression eased somewhat. Finally, someone with a common topic came.
"Going to have lunch, Rangiku, want to come together?"
"Eh~ I've been very busy recently, I don't have time to have lunch at all."
"Just for a while, it's more lively with more people."
"This... alright."
Matsumoto Rangiku couldn't bear to refuse Hinamori Momo anymore. Hinamori Momo's encounter was known to everyone in the Seireitei.
One more person came to hitch a meal. Soon, the four arrived in front of an izakaya.
Arriving 10 meters in front of the izakaya, Su Xiao stopped his footsteps, his gaze sweeping around. The nearby street was somewhat quiet.
"Bai Ye, how long do you intend to stand there? I don't have time to accompany you."
Soi Fon pulled open the door of the izakaya, her expression somewhat impatient.
"I, this person, don't like this kind of building built under a bridge."
Su Xiao looked up at the stone bridge above the izakaya. This stone bridge was at least ten meters wide, a connection between two high-rise buildings. The izakaya was built with the stone bridge as the roof.
"Mr. Bai Ye, it's just to have lunch. The roast meat of this izakaya is very delicious."
Hinamori Momo beside Su Xiao urged, but Su Xiao stood in place without moving.
The breeze rolled the fallen leaves on the street. Matsumoto Rangiku behind Su Xiao swallowed her saliva. They were openly challenging the rules of the Seireitei.
Hinamori Momo's hand under her sleeve was trembling, and in her heart was a strong sense of guilt.
Not to mention these two, even Soi Fon was somewhat nervous. When she saw Su Xiao for the first time, she felt that this man wasn't right. The more she investigated, the more she felt Su Xiao's danger. This guy was like a devil holding candy. After giving every Soul Reaper candy, he would dig out those Soul Reapers' hearts, which made Soi Fon feel a trace of fear. She hadn't had this feeling for a long time.
What was even more terrifying was that as the captain of the assassination unit, she hadn't investigated any useful intelligence.
Su Xiao was thinking, thinking about which link in the plan had a leak. From the previous interrogation, Yamamoto Genryusai was only suspicious and wouldn't make a direct move against Su Xiao. Otherwise, he wouldn't have walked out of the interrogation room, or rather, he wouldn't have entered there at all.
Considering by the method of elimination, things were actually very simple. According to Su Xiao's deduction, the current situation was very likely not an ambush from the Seireitei, but several captains had united. They chose to ignore the rules or regulations of the Seireitei. One had to know that this was the First Division barracks.
"Bai Ye... sir."
When Hinamori Momo said this sentence, she really wanted to add a sentence, which was: "As long as you enter the izakaya and pass the inspection, it will be fine." I can only say, naive Hinamori-chan.
Was things really like this? Not really. Su Xiao could accept the interrogation within the rules of the Seireitei, but he couldn't accept the dog-jumping-over-the-wall investigation of several captains.
That's right, Su Xiao had already been able to determine that several Soul Reaper captains had been forced by him to the point of jumping over the wall like dogs. Thinking of this point, a smile appeared on his face.
Looking at Su Xiao with a smile, Soi Fon's pupils constricted rapidly.
"Hinamori! Stay away from him!"
Soi Fon roared.
Pfft!
Blood splattered, Hinamori Momo retreated a few steps. Because of the cold feeling at her throat, she subconsciously touched her throat, but the next moment, a feeling of the world spinning came.
With a thud, Hinamori Momo fell to the ground.
"You bastard!"
Soi Fon was about to rush forward when the izakaya behind her shattered, and strands of spiritual pressure spread out.
Crack, crack, crack...
Because the spiritual pressure was too strong, cracks appeared on the nearby street.
Three figures rushed out from the ruins of the building, which were: Unohana Retsu, Kuchiki Byakuya, and Hitsugaya Toshiro.
The three stood beside Soi Fon, four captains facing Su Xiao. These people showed killing intent. They ignored the rules of the Seireitei and united directly, using means outside the rules to eliminate Su Xiao. As for the consequences, the four of them chose to resist hard, or rather, in their cognition, Su Xiao's danger level had reached the point where they could ignore the rules.
"You really have a problem."
The masseter muscle on Hitsugaya Toshiro's face bulged. He still didn't dare to step forward, because Hinamori Momo was lying beside Su Xiao's feet. She wasn't dead yet. If they rushed forward now, Hinamori Momo would definitely die.
"It seems that you have been forced by me to the point of jumping over the wall like dogs."
Su Xiao flicked the blood on Zhan Long Shan. The current situation wasn't completely unacceptable, or rather, he had long been prepared to be identified, but he didn't expect these captains to jump over the wall like dogs directly.
Su Xiao would never treat the enemy as a fool. When he was preparing to infiltrate the Seireitei, he had already prepared to be identified. That time was in the near future, short as three to five days, long as a week, which was before Aizen's plan ended. Recently, he was too active, and being interrogated was the most obvious manifestation.
At this moment, Su Xiao seemed to be talking nonsense with the enemy, but in reality, it wasn't the case. If he hadn't prepared, he would have opened the Hunting Demon Moment long ago, and those four captains, caring about Hinamori Momo's life and death, didn't dare to sell directly for a while.
"You're right, that's right. If we follow the laws of the Seireitei, we have no way to deal with you, not even the slightest chance. I don't even know if the name Bai Ye is true or false. The description of jumping over the wall like a dog is very good, but as long as I can kill you, even if I really become a dog, I won't hesitate. Don't say I'm despicable. I, this woman, will be despicable once today."
Unohana Retsu didn't avoid being forced to the point of jumping over the wall like a dog, because she felt Su Xiao was very terrifying. In just over ten days of entering the Seireitei, he had united with three great noble families. In the end, even interrogating him became a problem. If this continued, heaven knew what terrifying things would happen.
"Worth praising."
5 Reishi spheres appeared in Su Xiao's hand. These Reishi spheres emitted dazzling golden light, and the energy concentration was close to the level of a solid.
These 5 Reishi spheres weren't the trash Su Xiao gave to the Seireitei, but each purity reached 500, which was the limit purity he could extract.
The spiritual pressure distorted the surrounding air. Three kilometers away, on the top of a tall building, several contractors were observing the situation in front of the izakaya with binoculars.
"Damn, this guy is awesome, four captains want to kill him at the same time."
"I have always suspected that he was a Fifth Tier contractor who used special props. Now it seems not. No matter how awesome he is, he is going to die here now. Four captains are besieging him. I don't believe he can live."
"Shadow Emperor, absolute Shadow Emperor. If I didn't know he was a contractor, I would have thought he was a researcher of the Seireitei before."
When several contractors were discussing, certain areas of the Soul Society were changing rapidly.
Five apple-sized Reishi spheres floated around Su Xiao, and the Reishi concentration around him was close to the level visible to the naked eye.
"Do it, the situation is very wrong."
Soi Fon took off her white haori, revealing her black backless outfit.
"Wait for the opportunity, Hinamori..."
Hitsugaya Toshiro was always concerned about Hinamori Momo's safety.
"Do it."
Unohana Retsu knew she couldn't continue to drag it out. She also felt something was wrong.
"Reishi... linkage!"
Su Xiao put his hands together, and the black windbreaker on his body moved without wind.
Crack, crack, crack...
Large cracks appeared in the surrounding air. This wasn't space shattering, but Reishi colliding. From the time Su Xiao entered the Seireitei until now, he had manufactured a total of 7659 Reishi spheres. Excluding the part handed over to the Seireitei, where did the rest of the Reishi spheres go?
At the same time, in Su Xiao's residence, an Apollo hidden under the floor was activated. Yamamoto Genry
The cracks around Su Xiao became increasingly dense, and a Reishi storm spread to the surroundings; even Soi Fon and the others could not move forward against the Reishi storm.
"Remember, next time you encounter a suspicious target, kill them directly."
Just as Su Xiao's voice fell, the five Reishi spheres floating around him shattered.
Boom!
A ten-meter-high circular Reishi pulse spread to the surroundings; houses and streets, anything that touched the Reishi pulse, were instantly shattered, and the four captains were submerged by the Reishi pulse.
At the edge of the Seireitei, a yellow-haired youth holding a Zanpakuto looked up, staring blankly at the Reishi pulse spreading from the center of the Seireitei.
At the same time, a fireball appeared within the First Division barracks; this fireball was even more terrifying than the Reishi pulse, like a small sun crashing to the ground.
Su Xiao was at the center of the Reishi pulse; naturally, he would not be affected. In his design, the Reishi pulse could originally flatten one-third of the Seireitei, but he was discovered by these four captains using unconventional means—this wasn't a matter of acting, but of being targeted—so he triggered the Reishi pulse early.
In principle, the Reishi pulse had almost zero lethality to humans, but for Shinigami or the buildings of the Seireitei, the power of this thing was extremely strong.
Almost instantly, the notifications Su Xiao received flooded the screen. Bubu Wang beside him was already impatient; when the Reishi pulse ended, there would definitely be treasure chests and Zanpakuto all over the ground—that was the true moment of harvest.
