Chapter 1481: Sign of Death
In an empty room, a bald old man sat cross-legged, with a long white beard and matching white eyebrows, and his eyebrows hung down almost to his chin.
Although it looked old, it was like an ancient majestic volcano that could erupt at any moment.
A thick wooden staff on top and thin on the bottom rested on the old man's shoulder, and inside this staff was the most powerful spiritual sword, Ryujin Jiaka.
Yamamoto's eyes opened slightly. Su Xiao was sitting across from him, and he looked like he hadn't fully woken up yet.
When he "wakes up", the moment of harvest will come.
— You're doing great, " the old man said.
It was unclear whether he was praising Su Xiao's potion or praising his disguise.
— Thanks for the compliment.
*Crackle!*
As soon as Su Xiao answered him, Yamamoto pressed the wooden stick to the floor and small cracks immediately appeared on it.
The room was dead silent.
After a long time, Yamamoto waved his hand and said — " From now on, the room next door will be yours.
— … — Su Xiao really didn't expect Yamamoto to decide to go for such a trick. He actually decided to set it up next to him.
Perhaps the old man had already figured it out.
But Su Xiao didn't care. Until the main character, Ichigo Kurosaki, breaks into the Soul Society, he won't do anything. Right now, he needed an identity that would allow him to move freely in the Soul Society, and now, obviously, he had obtained that identity.
[
Notification: Hunter officially joined the fourth squad, position: none.
[
The reputation system has been activated. A hunter can use their accumulated reputation to buy items they like in the faction Shop.
The shinigami worked very well, and Su Xiao's lab was moved to the first squad's base in a matter of hours. In this headquarters, Su Xiao now had a personal territory of over 200 square meters. No shinigami below the level of a squad leader was allowed to enter this area without permission.
Various experimental instruments were placed in the corner of the room. Su Xiao was lying on the bed, snoring.
Yamamoto was sitting in the room next door.
Hearing Su Xiao's steady snoring, the old man was very puzzled.
Su Xiao woke up early the next morning. It was the first time he felt so comfortable in the derivative world.
Of course, this comfort won't last long.
After washing up, Su Xiao started making soul potions. After finishing their number to 40, he stopped creating them, as this number was quite enough. As for the materials that the shinigami brought him in bundles, if someone knowledgeable in alchemy saw them, they would immediately say that only a dozen of these materials would be useful for creating potions at most, but they brought several dozen different ingredients to create potions at once.
Most of this material was used to create completely new bombs. Retsu suspected that some of the materials requested were not needed for potion making, but she chose not to mention it. Some things were better left undisclosed. Also, Su Xiao's casual attitude caused Retsu to let down his guard.
Given Su Xiao's current strength, all of his normal alchemy bombs were no longer powerful enough. He had long wanted to create a completely new suitable bomb, but it was very expensive, and the problems were not so much in time as in money..
Time flew by very quickly, one day flew by in the blink of an eye.
Even though it was early in the morning, there were several people sitting in the middle of the large room of the first Squad headquarters.
The six captains, including Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Retsu Unohana, Toshiro Hitsugai, Byakuya Kuchiki, Aizen Sosuke, and Soi-Fon, were discussing one piece of news, namely the sudden appearance of the soul potion. A potion that could improve one's spiritual pressure was very important. Moreover, given the current reality, no one could tell if Su Xiao would be able to create an even more powerful potion by chance.
— Its origin is unknown. It is recommended to keep it under strict control, " said Soi-Fon, the captain of the second squad.
— Toshiro Hitsugaya supported her, he felt that there was something wrong with Su Xiao.
— This is a bit inappropriate. In the end, he came by himself and surrendered to the Soul Society, but we really want to go for something like this... " Retsu said something really logical.
— … — Byakuya Kuchiki remained silent, while Sousuke Aizen was a nice-looking guy and he clearly wasn't going to make any constructive suggestions.
As for those captains who didn't come to this meeting, no one was going to look for them and get their opinion right now.
— But just as Yamamoto was about to start, he suddenly gripped his stick tightly.
*Boom!*
An explosion came from a nearby room.
Retsu's lips twitched, and Soi-Fon, who was standing next to her, immediately jumped to her feet.
When the six captains arrived at the scene of the explosion, they saw that although the explosion was loud, its destructive power was not so great, the only serious damage was to the wooden sliding doors.
— Along with a cough, Su Xiao emerged from the thick smoke with a blackened face. If these shinigami found out that he was trying to create a miniature version of Apollo's Wrath just now, who knows what expressions might be seen on their faces.
Several captains looked at Su Xiao with different expressions, and Retsu broke the awkward atmosphere first... It seems dangerous when they explode.
— A common physical reaction is...
— Stop, I understand, please don't explain all this, I still don't understand anything.
Su Xiao and Retsu's unusual dialogue obviously surprised all the captains even more.
One of them looked at Su Xiao with a smile in his eyes.
That captain was Sousuke Aizen.
----
Two kilometers from the base of the first squad, on the roof of a stone building.
*Crackle!*
Along with the distinctive sound of bones breaking, a shinigami with its neck snapped fell onto the roof.
— There's nothing special about them. They are very similar to ordinary people, " a girl with short black hair wearing a leather jacket said as she squatted on the roof. There were many buttons and leather straps at the cuffs and edges of her clothing. It was impossible to say for sure whether it was all just decorations or something useful. "One, two, three," after counting to three, she tapped the corpse's forehead with her finger, and it quickly charred and turned into a pile of black ash.
A few specks of ash clung to the girl's black gloves, causing her to frown and snap her fingers.
— How did this bastard achieve this? If I remember correctly, this is the headquarters of the first squad. Are you sure? How can we kill him? He's cheating. Where is the fair fight we agreed on? she ruffled her hair with her hands and frowned.
This girl was Su Xiao's target, intruder # 10073, codenamed " Sign of Death».
The sign of death was a very dangerous intruder. Most of the intruders scattered, some tried to set up an ambush, but very few were looking for Hunters themselves.
According to the Omen of Death, this was her test, and it was normal to die during the test.
In her frail body, there was a heart that yearned for battle.
— This is my first time encountering a rank four hunter. Ah~, it's so attractive~ ... " With her legs tucked under her, she clenched her right fist and looked towards the base of the first squad, and blushed.
— It's decided. I'll kill you, or you'll kill me. This is the decision of fate.
Death Omen's body suddenly trembled and she leaned against the wall exhausted.
— The first thing we have to do is lure this old man out, " Death Omen muttered, then slowly stood up and immediately disappeared.
In terms of speed, she was as fast as Benya, and this was despite the fact that she had just been promoted to the fourth rank.
