The cold light illuminated the vast laboratory. The entire laboratory was like an exhibition hall, displaying various strange and unknown objects. A group of reapers in white biochemical suits walked around.
This is the Soul Society's department with the most cutting-edge technology - the Technology Development Bureau.
If Xuan Hao were here, he would probably scold the guys here, just like the mad scientists in the equipment department of Cassel College, they are all crazy.
And in fact this is indeed the case.
At this moment, a god of death who did not look like a humanoid repeatedly watched the video transmitted back by the secret maneuver, with a perverted flush on his face.
This guy is obviously not normal. Just by looking at his appearance, he can tell that he has probably undergone various degrees of body modification. What they are watching now is the video of Rukia Kuchiki in this world. To be precise, the one they are interested in should be Rukia Kuchiki.
This prosthetic body used by Kia.
"Hee hee... Hee hee hee..." The researcher showed an excited smile, "This thing is really well made, can't you send it back to us quickly for study? Hee hee hee..."
"Yuzhou, are you watching that video again?"
Another god of death walked into the institute and asked with a smile, "You have been coming here every day in the past few days, haven't you seen enough?"
"Stop blabbering, Ajin." The god of death, who was called Yazhou, chuckled, "I discovered her first, and she is mine! I can look at her any way I want!"
"Yes, yes, yes~ I admit that she is indeed the artificial corpse that you discovered after working hard to observe the radio waves of this world. But it shouldn't be a big deal if you go too far with me, right?" Ajin also had a smile on his face.
"Hehe, you have a beautiful idea!" Yazhou bared his teeth and smiled, and the grin that had been modified to be extremely huge looked a bit ferocious, "You guy, if you hadn't secretly reported to the covert mobile phone, this meaning
The body has been mine for a long time! Now you want to snatch it from me?"
"Don't be so open to outsiders~"
Akon leaned closer and said, "She should be sent here soon. Everyone is very interested in her~"
"Ding dong——"
As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell of the laboratory rang.
"The remains you ordered have been delivered!"
The voice of the deliveryman came in.
As a prosthetic skeleton lying quietly on a cart was brought into the laboratory, several pairs of shining eyes lit up in the laboratory.
Not only Yaozhou and Ajin, other researchers also approached one after another, with greedy smiles on their faces.
"Ah! It's so perfect! Great! Intact!"
Yaozhou couldn't help but drool at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the girl-like corpse lying quietly.
"I'm also worried that she will be broken up by the guys from the Quarantine Bureau and then sent here~"
"Wow! Has it been delivered? Then I also want a share." Someone came over.
"Get out of the way! Let me see too!"
The researchers flocked towards the experimental table like a pack of wolves that had seen a lamb, their eyes full of desire for 'beauty'. They longed for 'her', to be precise, they longed for what was hidden in 'her'.
technology.
This prosthetic skeleton is by no means an ordinary prosthetic skeleton, but a device that allows the God of Death to gradually assimilate with it and even turn into a human!
In fact, if Rukia Kuchiki had just used an ordinary righteous skeleton, her power would have been restored long ago. It is precisely because of the influence of this righteous skeleton that she has been unable to regain her power as a Shinigami.
Fortunately, this is a secret laboratory. If Byakuya Kuchiki hears about their interest in Rukia Kuchiki's remains, the Technology R&D Department will probably be bloodbathed.
"Ah, it's so well done! But I have searched all over my body and can't find the name of the maker. Who made it? And why did he make such a prosthetic skeleton that can turn the god of death into a human being?
This is against the rules..." A researcher gently sniffed the smell on the prosthesis and asked expressionlessly.
"Did Mr. Akon do it? Aren't you very good at making corpses?" The female Shinigami who brought the corpses in was a little confused.
"Are you kidding me? Can I make something like this? Not even the director can do it, right? I should say... no one can do it to this extent!"
Akon's face became extremely solemn, he couldn't bear such a name. "Assimilating the Shinigami into humans... If someone really had such a technology, he would be permanently expelled from Soul Society just for this alone!
"
······
"Aqiu~"
A man who was permanently expelled from Soul Society rubbed his itchy nose.
"What's going on? Are you too tired preparing for the 'door' these days? Isn't that the case?"
Urahara Kisuke looked at the boundary gate in front of him and sighed slightly.
Yes, he is the genius scientist who was permanently expelled from Soul Society for violating taboos.
At that moment, those idiots probably couldn't even dream of his purpose in creating such a prosthetic skeleton.
In fact, in the beginning, this kind of artificial body was only used by Isshin Shiba who wanted to leave Soul Society and live as an ordinary person. However, he is a genius. How could something designed by a genius only have this use?
In fact, such remains have another function - to fuse the souls of Bengyu and the God of Death.
The Honyu in Rukia Kuchiki's body was buried in her body when she used this prosthetic skeleton.
"Okay, it's almost done, it's time to notify them to get ready to go..."
Seeing the spiritual power fluctuations flashing back and forth in the door frame of the newly assembled 'Boundary Gate', Urahara Kisuke had a faint smile on his face.
If anyone can 'open the door', then not everyone in Soul Society can bully them at will? In fact, it is quite difficult to open the door to Soul Society without anyone noticing, even if you know the coordinates, it is not very easy.
It's an easy thing, after all, there is a very complete defense system there now. Of course...except for a certain monster outside the specifications. Thinking of this, the smile on his face became a little bitter again.
······
Twenty-five o'clock is a time that does not exist, but for those who want to go to a world that does not exist in the eyes of ordinary people, this time is just right to start.
One o'clock.
Kurosaki Ichigo carefully opened the clinic door.
He tiptoed, as if he didn't want his sleeping family to notice his departure.
But unfortunately...the sneak plan failed.
"Ichigo!"
A soft shout suddenly came from behind.
Kurosaki Ichigo was startled by this voice and his whole body trembled.
boom.
He subconsciously turned around and kicked, and the scene suddenly became fatherly and filial.
"Woo——"
Kurosaki squatted on the ground holding his stomach, with a brave smile on his face, "As expected of my son, he can dodge my attacks and even fight back!"
"###!?"
Ichigo Kurosaki had veins popping out on his forehead, "What the hell are you doing again..."
"hey-hey……"
Kurosaki Isshin chuckled, took off the amulet from his chest and handed it to Kurosaki Ichigo, "I just want to give this to you before you leave."
"What is this?"
Ichigo Kurosaki took the amulet and asked with a frown, "Amulet? It looks so old. Where did it come from?"
"Don't dislike it, kid! That was given to me by your mother before! A true love amulet that will bring good luck!"
Kurosaki Isshin retorted angrily.
"Huh? Are you out of your mind? How can you give me what your mother left for you!?" Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly became angry after hearing this.
"I thought... what a beautiful thought! Who said I would give it to you?"
Kurosaki Isshin stuttered a bit as he seemed to be trying to find a suitable reason.
Soon, his expression turned serious and he looked directly into Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes, "I just lent it to you while you were about to go on a long journey. Remember to pay me back when you come back!"
"..."
Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the amulet in his hand in silence.
Then he looked at the man in front of him who suddenly became serious.
Speaking of which, it seems like this guy has never asked where he is going? Trust between men sometimes seems to be that simple.
"Hey, answer me, I told you not to lose it, and remember to return it to me when you come back!"
Kurosaki Isshin reminded again.
"Understood."
This time, Kurosaki Ichigo nodded seriously.
He held the slightly old amulet in his hand tightly, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt as if a warm power was pouring into his body.
"I'll just borrow it for now."
"Ha~ Okay, then I won't give it to you."
Kurosaki Isshin yawned a little tiredly, as if he was about to turn around and go back upstairs to sleep, "Come back soon."
"Um."
Saying that, Kurosaki Ichigo opened the door to his house again and stepped out.
"Heh, brat."
Seeing the figure disappearing in front of the door, the fatigue on Kurosaki Isshin's face disappeared.
He walked to the stairs and subconsciously dug around his chest as if he wanted to get a cigarette, but found nothing.
"Oh, I forgot that I have quit smoking~"
Thinking that he would only smoke on the day of worshiping his wife, Kurosaki Isshin had a wry smile on his face.
This kind of thing shouldn't be forgotten, he was just...a little nervous.
"Sir, the child has left. Please show up."
"Tap-tap-tap-"
The sound of footsteps came from upstairs, and Xuanhao slowly walked downstairs.
"Isshin Kurosaki? No, I think I should call you Isshin Shiba."
"Yes, sir, I think I should call you 'Mr. Xuanhao'."
Kurosaki Isshin raised his head nervously and looked at the smiling figure.
This made him not nervous. After all, the person standing in front of him now was a man who was recorded in the family history of the Shiba clan.
"Hey, speaking of it...this is our first real meeting, right?"
He chuckled and scratched his head.
"This is indeed the first time I appear in front of you. A descendant of the Shiba clan."
Xuan Hao smiled and nodded, "I originally thought you would not be obedient. Since you are so obedient, it seems that you really know about my existence?"
"Of course, you are a god-like existence in the history of the Shiba clan."
Kurosaki looked serious.
In fact, he has always paid attention to the people around his son.
He almost had a heart attack when he learned that his son had a friend whose name was exactly the same as the one recorded in the family history.
Not long ago, he had a strange dream, in which the man asked him to give the 'medium' to his son.
At this moment, he was almost certain that this man might not only have the same name as the one in history, but he might very well be the same person!
So, after much hesitation, he followed the instructions.
But now, when this man actually appeared in front of him, he was even more convinced.
"I have followed your instructions and handed over the medium to the child... Is there any point in doing this?"
"I promised that boy that I would resurrect his mother."
Xuan Hao answered calmly.
And such an answer is undoubtedly a bombshell for Isshin Kurosaki.
His body couldn't help but tremble.
"You...you mean...Masaki...can be resurrected!?"
Kurosaki Isshin could only use the word "wocao" to describe his current mood.
The man in front of me is indeed a 'god'-like existence as recorded in history!
You can actually do this kind of thing!?
"Yes, but there are two key conditions."
Xuan Hao raised two fingers, "One is to find her soul, her complete soul."
"So the role of the medium is..."
Kurosaki Isshin suddenly realized this and felt extremely excited.
The so-called medium is of course the 'talisman', and he can probably guess its function - to bind his son to find Masaki's soul!
"That is what she sent her 'missing' to when she was alive. There is still a little breath of soul left on it, and there is your breath on it, which should be able to serve as a primer." Xuanhao smiled and nodded, confirming Kurosaki Isshin's idea.
The reason why the amulet looks so old is because Isshin Kurosaki has always carried it with him.
If Kurosaki Ichigo's mother has not yet been reincarnated, then the soul wandering in the world will naturally have obsessions, and the breath of the person she loved during her lifetime will have a certain attraction to her.
Its own soul breath, plus the breath of two beloved people, is completely sufficient as a medium.
"I advise you not to be happy too early. There is a second condition."
Looking at Kurosaki Isshin with hope in his eyes, Xuanhao sighed, "The prerequisite for me to resurrect her is that she is still a dead person."
"I see."
Kurosaki smiled bitterly, his heart full of gratitude, "But I still have to thank you!"
He knows what the other person is saying.
If Masaki has been reincarnated, then the matter of 'resurrection' will naturally not work.
"But it's always good to have hope."
Xuan Hao looked at the tough-looking man in front of him who was about to cry and shook his head helplessly, "The probability that Kurosaki Masaki has been reincarnated is not high. I don't know where her soul went. At least if she wants to be reincarnated, her soul should be
You will go to Soul Society first, and that is the territory of the God of Death. If you were in Soul Society...you should have found it by now, right?"
"That's right."
Hearing this, Kurosaki Isshin also frowned.
'Reincarnation' may be a better result for Masaki under normal circumstances. He also hopes that he just missed Masaki's time in Soul Society... If she really just followed the rules and was reincarnated smoothly, of course
It's good, but the key point is - Masaki's death is not a normal death!
There are too many factors interfering with Masaki's death, including Hollow, and... Yhwach!
