Chapter 185: The Bount Appears

Time passed as usual, and Yoruichi seemed to have resigned herself to her fate.

Since she couldn't leave the Soul Society, she might as well stay in Soul Society to accompany her younger brother for a while. Since her younger brother missed her so much, she didn't mind staying with her for a while.

Let the elder sister comfort the poor younger brother.

Yoruichi thought so.

It's true that she had given up the idea of ​​escaping from the Soul Society, but during that period of time, she continued to make small movements. With the help of some devices invented by Kisuke, she also had some news and understanding of the current affairs of the world of living.

Suddenly one day, who knows what kind of news Yoruichi had received from the world of living that she suddenly found her younger brother Yushiro.

"Yushiro, help me contact Sui Feng!"

Yushiro didn't understand what kind of thing his sister was going to do again, but he listened to her command anyways and quickly contacted Sui Feng.

Sui Feng came to Shihouin family's house, "What do you want to do?" 

She looked at Yoruichi with a cold expression, but actually, during the time when Yoruichi was forced to stay in the Soul Society, she was very happy to be able to see Yoruichi every now and then.

"Kisuke sent me a message, something happened in the world of living."

'Urahara Kisuke? You have returned to the Soul Society and staying here during this time yet you are still in contact with him...' 

Even though both Yoruichi and Kisuke's name have been cleaned up and they have been proven innocent, Sui Feng still had no affection for Kisuke. What she did not expect was that after being forcibly kept in the Soul Society, Yoruichi was still able to get in touch with Kisuke.

After pondering for a while, Sui Feng replied, "Even if something really happened in the world of living, Gotei 13 will be responsible for it, you don't need to worry about it.

"What if I say, Gotei 13 hasn't discovered anything about the happenings in the world of living yet?"

Yoruichi said in a deep voice, "Aizen defected along with Tousen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin, the whole Gotei 13 is just too busy to be able to care about what is happening in the world of living."

"Because this matter is not trivial, I immediately informed you of this matter so as not to cause a greater turmoil."

Sui Feng frowned slightly, seeing Yoruichi was so serious, she also decided to listen to her first, "Tell me, what is it?"

"In the past few days, there have been many incidents of soul disappearances in the world of living. Kisuke suspects that the soul consumers, the 'Bount', who once disappeared in the long river of history had been resurrected."

"Bount?"

Sui Feng obviously doesn't know much about Bount, but the disappearance of souls made her think of what happened a hundred years ago. The disappearance of the souls that happened in Rukongai was the incident which led to the departure of several captains. As a result, Yoruichi and Kisuke also had to rebel against Soul Society.

Now it was known that Aizen was the culprit in the soul disappearance incident that had happened a hundred years ago in the Soul Society.

Now there was again the cases of soul disappearance in the world of living and even though Yoruichi said that the culprit may be an unknown group called "Bount", Sui Feng still took it with utmost seriousness. 

Then, she asked Yoruichi to stay at Shihouin's house, and she herself went to report the news to the First Division.

In the First Division, after hearing the news from Sui Feng, the head-captain Yamamoto held a captain's meeting.

At the meeting, Sui Feng was the one who on Yoruichi's behalf presented the information shared by Yoruichi.

"Bount, it's been a long time since I heard this name. I didn't expect that they haven't perished yet."

Shunsui touched his chin and couldn't help but sigh.

As one of the oldest existing captains of the Soul Society, he had personally experienced many major events of the Soul Society.

Two hundred years ago, he was also among the ones who decided to wield a butcher's knife against the remaining quincy masters in the world of living, and he was also one of the ones who dispatched his subordinates to hunt down the Bount.

Hearing Shunsui's words, many young captains' eyes fell on Shunsui, and they were very curious about the so-called Bount.

Immediately afterwards, Captain Yamamoto's words sounded, interrupting everyone's thoughts, "Although Central 46 had not yet been re-formed, and the arrest orders of Urahara Kisuke and Shihouin Yoruichi have not been withdrawn yet, but with the defection of Aizen Sosuke, the true facts about the incident of that year has a new conclusion. Urahara Kisuke has been in the world of living for many years coupled with his technological expertise and Shihouin Yoruichi is the former head of the Shihouin family, their words are extremely credible so we must investigate the matter of the Bount!"

"We can't ignore the world of living because of Aizen Sosuke's defection. After all, maintaining the stability and safety of the world of living is also one of our, the Gotei 13's responsibilities!"

"Yes!"

Many captains responded at the same time.

Captain Yamamoto looked at the crowd again, "Where's Captain Kurotsuchi?" 

This time, from the Twelfth Division only the Vice-captain Nemu attended the captain's meeting and the captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri was nowhere to be seen.

Nemu responded, "The captain is still recuperating in the team building because of his unhealed injuries."

Knowing the reason why Mayuri did not come to the captain's meeting, the captains who were present had different expressions.

Aizen Sosuke, the captain of the Fifth Division and Tousen Kaname, the captain of the Ninth Division, betrayed the Soul Society and left, so they were not here. The captain of the Seventh Division, Komamura Sajin, ate a Kurohitsugi from Aizen head-on, and also fought with Zaraki Kenpachi before that. So his injuries were also very serious, and now he was still recovering from his injury. The captain of the Tenth Division, Hitsugaya Toshiro, was also unable to attend because of his unhealed injuries caused by Aizen.

The latter two were unable to come to the captain's meeting because of seriousness of their injuries. The rest of the captains whose injuries were not so serious, such as Kuchiki Byakuya, and Zaraki Kenpachi, who had a perverted recovery ability, insisted on coming to the captain's meeting even though their injury had not recovered completely.

So what about Kurotsuchi Mayuri?

They didn't see him take part in any big battles in the earlier incident of the Ryoka Invasion. When Rukia was going to be executed, he never appeared in the execution scene, let alone confronted Aizen. So where did he suffered such serious injuries?

Yamamoto didn't know what he thought, he looked at Nemu and said, "After you return to the Twelfth Division, tell him the content of today's meeting, and ask him to investigate the matter of Bount in detail."

The rest of the captains, from the command of the head-captain, noticed something unusual again.

Logically speaking, matters related to intelligence investigation should be the task of the Eighth Division, and matters involving the world of living should have its matters to be dealt by the Thirteenth Division, but the head-captain just handed over the matter to the Twelfth Division.

'It is not surprising that this matter will be handed over to Kurotsuchi Mayuri of the Twelfth Division, because the birth of Bount is related to the Twelfth Division.' 

'Their birth stems from a previous experiment of the Twelfth Division!'

After the captain's meeting ended and Mazuru returned to the Third Division, he couldn't help thinking about the meeting's content.
