Chapter 89 - Division 9 Dispatched

“Ah! It is really good to fight with Kenpachi every day like this.” Walking out of the 11th Division Courtyard, Muyang stretched and sighed.

“Captain.” Suzuki Kusu looked at Muyang with some hesitation.

“What’s wrong, Kusu? You look hesitant. This is not like you. If you have something to say, just say it directly.” Muyang turned his head and glanced at the expression on Suzuki Kusu’s face.

“Captain seems to be in a hurry to improve his strength. Can you tell me why?”

“It’s nothing. I just suddenly felt that I was a little too relaxed and decadent before. I just wanted to exercise.” Muyang waved his hand casually, “By the way, how is your Bankai cultivation?”

“There is no progress for the time being.” Suzuki Kusu was slightly stunned, and there was a struggle in her eyes, and then she said apologetically.

“It’s okay, this kind of thing can’t be rushed.” Muyang nodded and said no more.

The things that Captain has been doing these days are getting more and more strange. He is eager to improve his strength. The things in the Division are also gradually put down and handed over to her and the third seat to deal with. Is Captain feeling something unusual? What is the secret behind this?

Suzuki Kusu looked at Muyang with thousands of thoughts in her heart. Recently, what Captain has done has made her more and more confused. There is always an ominous feeling in her heart, as if Captain is going to leave her.

“En?” Seeing the few people that suddenly appeared at the fork in the road, Muyang stopped in his tracks and quickly walked forward.

“Oh, Kensei, where are you going?”

Muyang glanced at the people behind Kensei. What a fellow. Kensei really did bring his own team. Heisuke Kasagi, Edo, Fujido, and… Tousen Kaname! He glanced at the black guy with the mask, and a look of confusion flashed across Muyang’s eyes.

“Ah, it’s Kimura.” Kensei greeted Muyang and was just about to explain.

“Hey… It’s Kimura.” Kuna Mashiro jumped out from behind Kensei and ran to Muyang. She said with her mouth raised, “It’s all because of Kensei, the big fool. He clearly sent the advance team to investigate, and he even sent ten people. It would be fine as long as they waited for their news, but Kensei, this big fool, insisted on investigating. For some things that he could not figure out, there was no need for the captain to personally take action, right? It’s all because of Kensei’s impatient personality!”

“Don’t be so long-winded. When did I say that I wanted you to come with me? It doesn’t matter if you don’t come. It was you who insisted on following me, right? Go home and sleep with your big head, idiot!”

“Because Mashiro is the vice captain, how can I not follow the captain? You don’t even understand this principle. Are you an idiot, Kensei?”

“Idiot, Kensei is a big idiot.”

Kensei’s eyebrows jumped, and he was about to burst with anger.

“Hey, don’t be angry. Kensei, hasn’t Mashiro always been like this? You should be used to it.” Muyang pulled Kensei, who was about to go berserk because of her, and asked, “By the way, I still don’t know what is going on. Why do you need to take me to investigate?”

“Ah, you should have heard about it.” Hearing Muyang mention the business, Fist Xi calmed down and no longer looked at Kuna Mashiro.

“Oh?”

“Rukongai soul disappearance case.”

“…”

Hearing the words that came out of Kensei’s mouth, a bolt of lightning flashed through Muyang’s mind.

Kensei did not notice the shock in Muyang’s eyes. He said indifferently, “About a month ago, many cases of residents of Rukongai disappearing one after another, and the reason is unknown.”

“Disappeared?” Suzuki Kusu, who was comforting Kuna Mashiro who was sleeping on the ground, raised her head and asked in confusion.

“Yes, they disappeared!”

“They disappeared, leaving only their clothes in place. If they were dead and transformed into spirit children, they should have disappeared together with their clothes and turned into spirit particles. However, those people were not dead, but they were alive and could not maintain their human form. In the end, they died. For the time being, this is the only speculation.”

“They are clearly alive, but they are unable to maintain their human form?” At some point, Suzuki Kusu had already stood up. “Could it be that some external force caused their balance to be broken?”

“I don’t know either. I just repeated what Captain Unohana said to me.”

“So, are you going to investigate the cause of this case now?” Muyang suppressed the emotions in his heart and looked at Kensei.

“That’s right.” “It’s getting late. Let’s go over now. We can talk about it when I come back.”

“Kensei!” Kensei raised his foot and was about to leave when Muyang suddenly reached out and pressed his shoulder. Kensei even felt a faint pain from his shoulder.

“Be careful, I feel that this matter is a little unusual.” Muyang met the puzzled gaze of Kensei and said with a heavy tone.

“I know, don’t worry.” Feeling the deep worry of Muyang, a trace of warmth flashed in Kensei’s eyes. He reached out and patted Muyang’s shoulder. Then, he waved his hand and quickly left with his subordinates.

“Captain, you…” Suzuki Kusu looked at Muyang. She felt that the captain’s heart was in a mess like never before.

“Nothing, I just suddenly feel a little tired. Let’s go back, Kusu.” Muyang waved his hand and led the way to the 10th Division.

“The Kuchiki family.” Suzuki Kusu hesitated and said.

“Let’s forget about it today.”

Muyang said no more. His feet moved and his body suddenly disappeared. Even Suzuki Kusu did not see the trajectory of his movement.

“Captain…” The worry in Suzuki Kusu’s eyes deepened. Captain seemed to make her more and more unable to see through it. Why did she even feel a trace of fear in Captain’s heart at that moment? What was Captain thinking in his heart?

Muyang’s heart was extremely messy at this time. Originally, he did not know how to face the original story where Shinji and the others were experimented on by Aizen. He also thought that he would know what to do when the time came. He did not expect that now was really the time, and his heart was even more confused. What should he do? Follow the development of the plot?

His heart was in a mess. Muyang did not discenr his direction. He just recognized a direction and kept running. When he stopped, he found that he had already arrived at Sōkyoku without him knowing.

Standing on top of Sōkyoku and looking at Seireitei, Muyang’s heart gradually calmed down. There might be a few hours left. When it was night, Kensei and the others should be completely wiped out, and they would be sneak attacked by Tousen Kaname. Then there were Hiyori, Shinji, Love, Rose, Lisa, and the less familiar Ushōda Hachigen, then the framed Kisuke and Tsukabishi Tessai, and Yoruichi who defected to rescue Kisuke.

So annoying!

Muyang found a big tree to sit down, and a sense of loneliness suddenly emerged in his heart. Sure enough, in the end, he was still lonely, just alone, even if there were more friends, it was not possible to tell them this secret of his, and could only be buried in his heart. Even if he encountered these things, he could only think hard in his heart. In this world, could he only be alone in the end?

Thinking of this, Muyang subconsciously touched his Zanpakuto which was at his waist. Perhaps only his Zanpakuto would accompany him like this.

Putting his Zanpakuto flat on his knees, Muyang relaxed his body and mind, and his mind gradually sank into his Zanpakuto.

“I knew that you would come.” Kaze no Sora stood on the treetop with a paper fan in his hand and looked at Muyang indifferently.

“I can only talk to you.” Muyang smiled helplessly.

“But, you don’t have to do this.”

“Huh?”

“For this world, you are not an outsider, not a spectator, nor a hurried passer-by. Here, you have too many bonds, even deeper than your previous life, whether it’s Kimura Kazuya, or Hikifune Kirio, or Yamamoto Genryūsai, and Kyōraku Shunsui, not to mention Shinji, a group of your closest friends, you are already part of this world..”

“I…”

“You should have changed your mind a long time ago. Don’t treat yourself as someone who is beyond the game. You should know that you are also in the game. You are now a person in the game. Don’t think about the original story. This is not a manga, this is the real world. Everything you see, hear, feel, everything is real!”

“Go, don’t be confused anymore. Just do what you think in the depths of your heart. You are Kimura Muyang, captain of Gotei 13, and no longer He Muyang.”

Muyang was shocked. He slowly retreated from the inner world and opened his eyes. There was no longer a trace of confusion in his eyes, full of determination he leaped.
