PDLP Chapter 587 is just to prevent you from going crazy.
Chapter 587 is just to prevent you from going crazy.
Yuko's kick stirred up a ripple in the stagnant, maggot-filled nest, drawing the attention of the prisoners who had been either lost in thought or asleep.
But it was only a tiny bit.
Soon, everyone's gaze returned to the present, as if nothing could pique their interest, leaving only a few eyes that still faintly conveyed a sense of being watched.
Through her clear vision, Yuko could see that these people were in good health, indicating that the food they ate was probably not bad. They just looked somewhat haggard due to a lack of exercise.
He's been locked up for too long, hasn't he?
Given the lifespan of the Grim Reaper, such imprisonment is indeed torture. Some may have been imprisoned for hundreds of years, and many have had their spirits worn away, living in this world like walking corpses.
As a result, he was imprisoned here simply because of the potential danger.
As expected, the Soul Society is not some wonderful paradise.
There's no such thing as a case of "presumption of guilt"... No, this can't even be considered a case of "presumption of guilt," it's completely unrelated.
If leaving the group means being imprisoned here, who would have left if you had said so earlier?
Yu Zi frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
“Most of the guys here are only at this level, but there are a few with the strength of a Seat Officer.” Yoruichi continued walking in with Yuko. “Although I’m not worried about your safety, Yuko, you’d better not think of releasing them just because you feel sorry for them.”
Yu Zi paused, puzzled, and asked, "Why? Didn't you say we couldn't let it go?"
Yoruichi turned and glanced at her: "You'd better think that way. Even if you don't, please think about me. I don't want to get scolded."
Yuko understood Yoruichi's unspoken meaning: "Is letting them out just to get a scolding?"
"...That's not the point." Yoruichi remained silent.
Yu Zi was delighted to see her speechless and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to praise her when Yuuko added:
"Challenging authority requires confidence. I'm not so arrogant as to think I can defeat the Gotei 13 by myself."
Yoruichi's expression twisted, and she couldn't help but say, "What you just said was already incredibly arrogant, wasn't it?!"
She would never be so modest as to compare herself to the entire Gotei 13, but she skipped over the Captain-Commander and challenged them all to a one-on-one fight.
Yoruichi had nothing more to say.
"Speaking of which, Kisuke is really something, to actually stay in a place like this all this time. It's amazing that he can stand it." Yuko looked around and saw nothing but bare rock walls and a group of listless, exhausted people. The air seemed to be filled with a decadent smell.
When did he leave?
“First of all, making you the team leader doesn’t mean you have to stay here and watch over them all the time,” Yoruichi corrected, holding up a finger. “It just means you have to come and inspect them on time.”
"second……"
"Ah!" A furious voice came from behind.
Yuko spun around gracefully and delivered a spinning kick, striking the attacker in the face from behind. The flesh on her cheek visibly trembled upon contact with her instep.
Boom~
The attacker was kicked away and crashed into the rock wall.
After resolving the issue, Yuko followed Yoruichi, who continued walking forward as if she hadn't seen her.
Yoruichi continued, "Secondly, after he became the captain of the 12th Division, the position of captain of the inspection team became vacant, and Kikujiro temporarily filled in for him."
"And they still haven't found a suitable candidate?"
Yu Zi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, although this place wasn't as solemn as a prison, it should still be a place that needed constant supervision, yet it hadn't had a dedicated person in charge for so long.
Yoruichi turned around, somewhat speechless: "Kisuke has only been the captain of the 12th Division for less than two months, what do you mean by 'still haven't found him yet'?"
"Two months?" Yu Zi's eyes widened. "Doesn't that mean it was just a few days before you found me?"
Yoruichi was too lazy to even bother with the topic she'd picked up. "What else?"
Yu Zi suddenly realized: "I thought it had been a long time. No wonder even his own vice captain doesn't listen to him. It turns out that a new official has taken office."
Yoruichi silently helped Kisuke Urahara save face: "No, Hiyori is just like that. Hirako often gets beaten up by her too."
Yuko's mind went blank: "Hirako... seems to be the captain of the Fifth Division, right?"
Aizen Sousuke's captain.
“That’s right.” Yoruichi understood Ikuko’s question, but didn’t say anything more, and simply led her to continue walking around.
As she walked, Yuko suddenly noticed a staircase leading down.
“Ah, there’s no one there anymore.” Yoruichi noticed her gaze and explained.
Was anyone there before?
“Hmm.” Night nodded and walked towards the stairs. “As I said before, the people here have not committed any crimes, so we cannot punish them; we can only restrict their movement.”
"But there was one person who was imprisoned."
As they spoke, the two had reached the bottom of the stairs, a narrow passageway at the end of which was a prison cell with iron bars.
The prison was now completely empty.
"Where did that person go?" Yuko asked curiously. "Was he killed?"
Yoruichi crossed her arms: "Kisuke took it from me, and even lied and said he got my permission."
"You didn't beat him up?"
Why beat him up?
"You seem quite dissatisfied."
"No, it's just that I feel you treat other people better than you treat me."
Yoruichi's temple throbbed, and she gave a deathly smile: "If you could be serious for once, would I be so bored as to curse you?"
"Maybe?"
"Get lost!" Yoruichi rolled her eyes, merely glanced at the empty cell in front of her from the stairwell, and then led Ikuko back.
"That's all for today, I'm going back now."
The two left the cave one after the other, and this time they were not attacked again.
Stepping out of the cave, the air outside felt much fresher.
"In short, the most dangerous guy has left. At most, there are only prisoners at the level of a high-ranking officer left. It shouldn't be a problem for you."
Yoruichi pointed to the guards waiting outside the cave: "You can also give them instructions if you need anything."
The two guards nodded quickly.
On the way back to the Shihouin residence, Yoruichi continued:
“Under normal circumstances, those guys can’t escape. Your job as the supervisor is just to come and inspect regularly to ensure that nothing unexpected happens in the maggot’s nest.”
Yu Zi blinked: "It sounds like a fairly simple and worry-free job."
"That's true to some extent." Yoruichi nodded slightly. "As long as you're strong enough to handle the guys inside, it's an easy job."
"So this should be considered extra work, right? Will I get a raise?"
Ye Yi stared blankly for a moment: "...You're obsessed with money."
Yu Zi sighed, looking like someone who'd been there all along: "You don't understand what it feels like to be hungry."
Yoruichi smiled slightly: "Does it make a difference whether you eat or not?"
Since we're not going to die anyway, why should we go hungry!
"Of course I do. Just because I won't starve doesn't mean I won't feel hungry. If it weren't for human flesh, it would be very difficult for me to get energy from other foods."
"Moreover, if one does not eat human flesh for a long time, one will gradually lose one's sanity."
Yoruichi looked at her warily: "Don't tell me you've eaten it."
Yuko suddenly smiled and turned her head: "What do you think, Yoruichi?"
Yoruichi paused for a moment, her eyes narrowing: "Theoretically speaking, I think you ate..."
"But if I said that, you would definitely think I was being disrespectful, so my answer is... you didn't eat."
Yuko blinked: "Is this considered taking care of my feelings?"
Yoruichi retorted, "It's just to prevent you from going crazy."
“Then I must thank you for your trust.” Yu Zi chuckled. “If it’s just human flesh, I certainly haven’t eaten it.”
"only?"
“I’ve eaten demon flesh,” Yuko smiled slightly, “Demons that look exactly like humans, like me.”
"...Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?" Yoruichi asked, her eyes narrowed.
In fact, cannibalism is not such a big deal. In some remote areas of Rukongai, this might actually happen.
"No, I was just mentioning it." Yuko waved her hand, looking at Yoruichi with a serious expression. "So, is it true?"
"What?"
"A raise."
"...Add! Add it, okay!" Yoruichi gritted her teeth in anger.
"Then I'll be satisfied~" Yu Ziguang quickly retreated.
Yoruichi curiously reached out her hand: "Where are you going?"
"Is everything alright now?" Yuko turned around. "I'll go to my room and get the butterfly out so we can continue guessing the real name."
Yoruichi nearly fell to the ground, then rushed over angrily and grabbed Ikuko's clothes: "You, it's one thing to do this when you have nothing better to do."
"Why bother with errands when there are already errands to run?"
Yuko looked at her strangely: "But I don't have anything to do right now, do I?"
Ye paused for a moment.
It really is!
Damn it! ! !
The task of the supervision team is difficult in some ways. Even ordinary supervisors can easily make mistakes if they are not careful. But for Yuko, it was an easy job.
So her attempt to stop Yuuko from guessing the true name of the Zanpakuto was completely unsuccessful.
Yoruichi was so angry that her shoulders trembled, and she grabbed Ikuko's arm and left.
"Eh? Where to go?"
"Didn't you say you had nothing to do?" Yoruichi said irritably. "I have something to do!"
"My Instant Heal is still under development and improvement, so you can practice with me!"
Yoruichi went to great lengths to keep Ikuko from being so idle.
However, she did want to perfect the use of Instant Harshness, which is a very powerful technique that can greatly enhance combat ability once mastered.
Combining Shunpo (Instant Step) and Kido (Demon Arts)... she's truly a genius.
……
"Peerless Butterfly...crossed out."
"The world's number one butterfly... cross that out."
As evening approached, Yuko sat in front of the corridor facing the setting sun, her legs dangling outside and swaying slightly. On her thighs was a scroll several meters long that stretched all the way to the corner of the corridor.
Yuko held a calligraphy brush in one hand and rested the other hand on her chin, appearing to be deep in thought.
"Dark and cool butterfly... This one seems alright? What do you think of the butterfly?... Okay, cross that out."
The Zanpakuto placed to the side remained completely still.
"You, go and tear up all the rubbish she wrote."
"I'll... I'll die."
In the corner of the corridor, Yushiro trembled as he looked at his sister, who exuded an aura of resentment.
Yoruichi is about to break down; Yuuko is as stubborn as a mule.
They just had to guess that stupid real name.
Who would think of Bankai like that?!
Isn't that a waste of time?
The key issue is that this guy has just too much energy. He practiced with me at the dojo all day and was still acting like nothing had happened.
Yuko's progress is as fast as sitting on that thing, it's unbelievable.
If her identity is appropriate, then the Seireitei's headline news the next day should be like this.
'Shocking! He evolved from a mere mortal to a captain-level fighter in just one month.'
"One month to teach you how to go from zero to captain level."
Yu Zi's current strength is definitely not much weaker than hers. Considering all her other miscellaneous abilities, if it really came down to a fight, she might not be able to win.
In addition, she was already countered by Yuko's ability, and using the incomplete Shunko would consume a lot of energy, so now she was the one who was so tired that she wanted to sleep.
It's beyond our control, beyond our control.
Yoruichi shook her head wearily. Oh well, let the idiot play by himself.
“What do you think of the celestial butterfly…” Yuko paused in her muttering, then suddenly remembered something and quickly beckoned to Yoruichi, who was peeking around the corner of the corridor, “Yoruichi, come here for a second.”
Yoruichi, who was about to leave, paused and led Yushiro toward Ikuko.
"What are you up to now?" Yoruichi wiped her face, looking listless. "Let's make this clear first, if you want me to help you guess the name, I'm not doing it even if you kill me."
Yuko's expression suddenly turned excited: "Is that even possible?!"
Yoruichi slapped her forehead. "Isn't this the end of the world?"
The Zanpakuto in the corridor suddenly trembled.
"Huh? I can't cheat?" Yu Zi's expression fell. "I'll just have my friend guess for me?"
The Zanpakuto continued to tremble.
Yoruichi and Yuushirou both looked like they had seen a ghost.
Why do they feel that guessing the real name is like Zanpakuto and Yuuko playing a game?
Damn, is the Zanpakuto's spirit's mind not even three years old?
Yoruichi couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me for interrupting, but the Zanpakuto you saw didn't actually look like a child, did it?"
"No, she's a beautiful young woman."
Yoruichi wiped her face again, carefully stepped over the scroll, and sat down next to Ikuko.
"So, what do you want to say?"
“Oh right!” Yu Zi came to her senses. “I just carefully reviewed the flow of spiritual energy within your body during our fight this afternoon.”
Yoruichi retorted, "Weren't you just playing a guessing game with your Zanpakuto?"
"That's called multitasking, hoho, just like how I can use dual swords."
