In one of the medium-sized hot spring pools with a diameter of about six meters in the hot spring bath, Feng Ye had a white bath towel draped over his shoulders and was sitting comfortably on the edge against the edge of the hot spring pit.
White mist-like heat is constantly rising from the hot spring. The temperature of this hot spring is somewhat uncomfortable for humans, but it is just comfortable for the soul.
After experiencing many worlds, Fengye has enjoyed natural, high-end, and various hot springs, but this is the first time he has enjoyed Lingzi Hot Spring.
It feels a little different from a physical hot spring, and the comfort seems to be higher.
Next to Feng Ye, you can see half of Lilith's head exposed above the water, and her nose is submerged under the water. Her expression is as calm as ever. It is impossible to tell from her eyes and expression whether she is enjoying the hot spring or just checking in at work. .
Nearly more than a month has passed since the last time Zhanfeng was treated. After that, Zhanfeng seemed to have completely returned to his usual state. When he saw Feng Ye, he just nodded expressionlessly as a way of saying hello. Regarding what happened before It seems that they have all been forgotten.
On the contrary, Ye Yi became much closer after that. She often broke into his home to look for him, and deliberately teased and teased him many times. Feng Ye didn't mind this either, after all, he had to be surrounded by three people like Lilith. Without girls, it would obviously become very boring.
"You should take action."
"Aizen."
Feng Ye leaned against the hot spring pool and looked up at the night sky in the open air.
He has experienced the work and life of the vice-captain for half a year. The past month has been a little less fun than before. Aizen's actions will probably be the fun he wants to see next.
Although using the Eye of God to directly peer into the past and future, you can see all the scenes you want to see, but that would be very boring.
While Feng Ye was thinking.
Suddenly.
A figure appeared behind him, holding a light yellow bath towel in his hand. After leaping forward, like a flexible orange cat, it flew directly over his head and crashed into the pool in front of him. inside.
Wow! ! !
The water splashed everywhere at once, directly splashing Fengye's head and face, and Lilith's snow-white hair next to her was also caught in the current and thrown back.
However, she still didn't make any movement. She was still kneeling in that position, but her eyelids were lowered halfway, looking at the figure who jumped into the spring water.
"I said... could you please pay a little attention to the identity of the 22nd generation head of the Shifengyuan family, Captain Yoruichi?"
Feng Ye wiped the water stains on his face and looked at the person who jumped in expressionlessly.
After Ye Yi jumped into the pool and splashed a lot of water, he stood up with a whistle, walked to the opposite side of Feng Ye wrapped in a bath towel and sat down, and said nonchalantly: "It's not an important occasion, pay attention to what those messy things are doing. "
Feng Ye silently took the towel off his shoulders and put it in front of him.
Sitting in the hot spring with his legs crossed and half of his slender and flexible feet above the water, Ye Yi looked at Feng Ye's movements and couldn't help but smile. He held his cheek with a fist and said, "Hey, so you can be shy. You’ve never been to a mixed bath before?”
Feng Ye looked up at the night sky and said calmly: "I have been there, but most of them are alone. It's just that people like you will break in from time to time."
"Well, it's really possible if it's you."
Yoruichi leaned back by the hot spring pool and looked up at the night sky. In fact, the reason why she barged in so suddenly was because the person here was Fengye.
And when she came in, there were people outside peeking in - the girls who were in charge of the hot spring service, secretly hiding outside the curtain.
"This month, there have been incidents of souls disappearing out of thin air in Rukongai. Because the situation is very strange, the ninth team has gone to investigate, led by the captain of the sixth car."
Ye Yi looked up at the night sky while chatting casually, but at the same time her attention was on Feng Ye, wanting to see the change in Feng Ye's demeanor after hearing the news.
However, after Fengye heard it, his expression remained normal and said, "Really? That seems to be a very strange incident. Abnormal things seem to be happening one after another during this period."
"yes."
Yoruichi breathed out and said: "Even the Leopard Man clan violated the law and secretly collected some souls with high spiritual pressure in Rukongai to devour, so Central Room 46 has issued an order to execute them. Our second team will be responsible."
There are currently two races surviving in the Soul Society, one is aliens and the other is souls, and souls are divided into human souls and alien souls.
For example, Komamura Zuozhen, who currently serves in the seventh division and is also the future captain of the seventh division, belongs to the human-wolf clan among the alien souls.
The two largest groups of alien souls are the human-wolf clan and the leopard-human clan. The former collects basically all souls in the form of dogs and wolves, while the latter collects all the souls in the form of tigers, lions, and leopards.
"Um?"
Feng Ye looked at Ye Yi with slight surprise and said, "Execution of the Leopard people who violate the law means that this is the next new task."
Yoruichi stretched his body, like a lazy cat, and said: "Yes, I have gathered the team members. It feels good to enjoy a hot spring bath before the attack. Yes, and by the way, you can also appreciate my vice-captain’s cute reaction.”
"Please don't use the word cute."
Feng Ye glanced at Ye Yi, what kind of adjective is this? !
In addition, this Leopard Man clan who suddenly appeared to cause trouble must be Aizen's back-up man. He directly transferred the second team away from the Seireitei to attack this clan, and it was reasonable for him to 'just happen' to be away from the Seireitei. , the design is pretty good.
"Why can't it be used?"
Yoruichi smiled and teased: "Your reaction is very cute, and besides... you have a good figure, young man."
A handsome man who was able to remain quite calm after she jumped into the bathtub and even used a bath towel to cover him up. This reaction was naturally quite cute in her eyes.
"The same to you."
Feng Ye responded casually and perfunctorily, then stood up from the water, left the bath and walked outside, saying: "Since the order to act has been issued, don't wait too long, let's go, Captain Yoichi. "
Lilith stood up from the water silently and shook her hair. Drops of crystal water fell from her hair. Her snow-white shoulder-length hair dried instantly, and then she stepped on it with her slender feet. He climbed up to the edge of the hot spring pool and followed Feng Ye.
Ye leaned forward into the water expressionlessly, and floated on the water. He looked at Feng Ye's leaving back and said, "I just came here, really..."
"vice captain."
Feng Ye raised the curtain and walked into the wooden house. Two girls wearing cherry blossom kimonos and holding clean bath towels stood on both sides of the wooden house and immediately saluted Feng Ye.
Both of them lowered their heads, trying their best not to appear abnormal, but there was a trace of blush on their cheeks, and their eyes were averted with a little guilt.
Feng Ye took the bath towel calmly and walked forward, not paying attention to the peeks from the two of them. It wasn't the first time anyway. You have to get used to this kind of thing if you are too good-looking.
…
After a while.
In the square of the Second Division's building, about two hundred Shinigami gathered here, of which 150 were from the Second Division and the other fifty were from the Stealth Mobile.
These are the elites of the second division and covert maneuvers, and are the main force of this expedition. Ordinary team members will not play a big role in this expedition.
Feng Ye and Ye Yi arrived at the square at the same time.
Broken Bee has been waiting here early, and she also moves with Yoruichi, because the Leopard People are also a very strong alien soul group, with inherited unique abilities, and they are not ordinary gangsters who can be easily wiped out, so the two The main team is basically all out.
"Is everyone here?"
Yoruichi had already changed into a white captain Haori, with the word '二' embroidered on the back. She came to the front of the square and asked Zuihou calmly.
At the moment of the operation, Yoichi's playful and frivolous look was completely gone at this time. His whole person became extremely cold, and his captain-level aura was perfectly displayed.
"It's all here."
Zombie immediately responded to Yoruichi.
Yoruichi glanced at the two hundred Shinigami in the square, and a cold voice spread throughout the square, saying: "Very good, let's set off now!"
As the words fell, she walked at the front, walked directly to the outside of the second team's team building, and started running, while many Shinigami behind quickly followed.
Feng Ye and Sui Feng followed Ye Yi from left to right. After leaving the second team's team building, he glanced behind him and then retracted his gaze.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! !
Like a large-scale ninja operation, two hundred Shinigami members of the Second Division followed closely behind, all running in neat and flexible postures. Under the cover of the night, the group quickly ran out of the Jingling Pavilion and headed east. Go in the direction of Rukongai.
At the same time, in the fifth team's team building, in a room lit with candles, Aizen gently put down the book in his hand, stood up, and looked sideways out of the window.
"Have you taken action?"
"Then it's almost time to start here."
…
Because their appearance is so different from that of human souls, it is difficult for them to live together with normal human souls. Therefore, the Leopard People basically live in various mountainous areas in the suburbs.
Most of the members of the Leopard Man clan are concentrated in the lawless zone outside the Zaraki District of the 80th District of North Rukongai, which is an area that the Seireitei barely has jurisdiction over.
If the Leopard Man clan had not violated the law this time and were found to have high spiritual pressure spirits secretly attacking the 80th District of Higashi Rukongai, the second division would not have been dispatched to attack them.
It doesn't take too long for Yoruichi and Zaihou to reach the Zaraki District of the 80th District of North Rukongai, but ordinary Shinigami can't keep up with their speed, and the space-transferring Kidō is a forbidden technique. Therefore, the journey is a bit longer and requires traveling day and night for several days.
During the break, Yoruichi, Fengye, and Broken Bee gathered together.
"This is a map of the area where the Leopard People live."
Yoruichi took out a parchment map. A small half of the map was a map of Zaraki District, and the other half was a huge mountainous area. The terrain looked intricate.
Although the area outside the 80th district of Rukongai is a lawless zone, and the Gotei 13 usually does not manage outside affairs, the intelligence agency of the Gotei 13 is very powerful. Even Hueco Mundo has a map, not to mention the zombies. The outer area of the soul world.
The area where the Leopard People live is only about one-third of the Zengmu District, but the area is still quite large, but the center area is marked on the map.
"How do you plan to attack?"
Broken Bee looked at the map and asked in a low voice to Yoruichi.
Ye Yi looked at the map with cold eyes, raised his hand, scratched several places on the map with his fingers, and said: "The overall strength of the Leopard People clan is not weak. The clan leaders of their generation are said to be very strong, so in order to Reduce casualties and try not to split up."
"Let's go around here and attack, first defeat this settlement, and then break into their nests from the east and west sides. You will be responsible for the attack on the west side, Feng Ye."
Ye Yi looked at Feng Ye and spoke.
Feng Ye said calmly: "No problem."
Because the Leopard People are a large group and their overall strength is not weak, usually only one of the Gotei Thirteen Teams would be dispatched to attack such a group. However, this time due to the abnormal situation in Rukongai, they have already dispatched Division 9 went to investigate, and there was a division in the real world and Hueco Mundo each responsible for guarding. The medical team could not be sent out, and the Division 1 had to guard the central room 46. In addition, the captain of Division 13, Jushiro Ukitake, was ill and unable to move. , the captains of this generation of the 11th Squadron all have bad relations with other captains, so there are not many movable troops left.
In this case, the second division has two captain-level combat capabilities, one is the captain Yoruichi Shihoin, and the other is the deputy captain Hatake Kaedeya who masters the swastika, so Yamamoto Genryanagi Sai Shigekuni made The decision was made to allow the Second Division to operate independently, and to have the support units of the Third Division on standby.
"This attack is no better than those in the past. Even if you have a swastika, you may still encounter danger, so don't relax at all."
Ye Yi looked at Feng Ye's slow reminder.
Although Feng Ye's ability has been fully proven during this period, and she also suspects that Feng Ye may not be as simple as it seems, but if her suspicion is wrong, Feng Ye is just a normal genius Shinigami, So this operation will be a big test for Feng Ye, because it will probably involve a captain-level battle!
She has never seen Feng Ye's swastika, so she doesn't know whether Feng Ye's strength has reached the average level of a captain. In this situation, if you are careless, you may die!
"Do not worry."
"I won't have any problems here."
Feng Ye responded with a calm expression and a calm tone.
Seeing that Feng Ye was confident and didn't look frivolous, Ye Yi nodded slightly, put away the map and stood up. He glanced at the Shinigami team members who were almost rested and said: "Okay, almost rested. Come on, keep going!”
…
Almost at the same time.
In a certain area of Rukongai, a Zanpakuto hidden in the darkness suddenly attacked the captain of the ninth division, Rokusha Kensai!
What followed was that Rukuchukenxi's spiritual pressure completely disappeared.
A captain's spiritual pressure completely disappeared, which was undoubtedly an extremely serious situation. It immediately caused the entire Gotei Thirteen Team to be shocked!
Captain Yamamoto Genryanagi Sai Shigekuni immediately summoned the captains of each division to assemble, and made a prompt decision to send three captains, one deputy captain and the deputy ghost master of the Ghost Club to the scene of the incident!
Chapter 26: A mouthful of poisonous milk from Broken Bee
Outside Section 80 of North Rukongai.
This is a desolate, lawless zone with almost no plants or any natural color. It is surrounded by criss-crossing mountains and deep valleys. However, compared to the desert-like desolate Hueco Mundo, this place seems to have survived a little. So a little bit of life.
Almost most of Hueco Mundo is a desert, because Hollows are different from ordinary souls in that they can survive even without water. They all have the ability to move in space, and can freely travel between the real world and the Soul Society.
Somewhere deep in the canyon.
There is a pool of water that looks turbid in color, and near the pool there are many leopard people who walk upright and look like humans, but their appearance is full of hair and animal ears.
The areas outside Rukongai District 80 are very desolate and have very few water sources. However, these alien souls who committed major crimes and fell to the animal world are still souls, not in a virtual form. They still need spiritual water to survive, so their settlements It is the location of spiritual springs everywhere.
"I want to go there again... The taste of human soul is so good..."
"The king said that the God of Death may have set his sights on us, so we should not take any further action in the near future."
"...The spiritual power of the God of Death should be more delicious, right?"
Several leopard men gathered around the edge of the pool, lying down or lying down, with half of their bodies in the form of beasts, grinning and communicating with each other with sharp teeth.
And just then.
Uh-huh! !
A Zanpakutō fell from the sky, fell directly towards the outside of the pool, and suddenly penetrated the body of one of the Leopard Men, nailing it directly to the ground.
Several other leopard men nearby were all furious, and they subconsciously stepped aside and assumed a posture ready to attack at any time.
but.
