Chapter 031: Time Flies

While Kisuke continued his experimentation, Yoruichi continued to work on the development of Shunkō.

The entire Soul Society also fell into a short period of peace.

Time passed slowly, and in the process, the disappearance of some ordinary souls in Rukongai has become a trivial matter. After all, there are 320 districts in Rukongai and new souls will come every day, and ordinary souls will die every day, as long as the entire area does not disappear on a large scale, no one pays attention to their life and death.

It was a chilly night, and a bright moon hung in the sky.

Even though the Soul Society is not in the present world, it has the moon and the sun, which is actually a bit unbelievable. A long time ago, Mazuru, who is also not in the present world, but in Hueco Mundo, had such doubts when he saw the moon, but soon ignored it.

He didn't bother to investigate whether the moon was real or not.

After all, this world is not a normal world. No matter how unbelievable it is, it is acceptable. It is also possible that the moon in the sky looks like a moon, but it may actually be drawn by an indescribable old ruler.

In the darkness, on the edge of Rukongai, in a remote place with few people, suddenly, a shrill scream came out.

"Aaahhhh!!!"

The voice was shrill and mournful, with pain that could not be expressed in words. An ordinary civilian was facing pain and convulsions all over his body. The scream came from his mouth.

On his body, smears of white bone were proliferating, covering his body, which looked extremely weird. However, when the bone was about to cover his whole body, the scream stopped abruptly, and his voice suddenly stopped. The whole person became silent. Then with a bang, he turned into a spirit particles and dissipated.

"Sure enough, ordinary wandering souls are still not enough?"

In the darkness, a figure in a black cloak looked at the scene in front of him and muttered to himself.

"Then let's try it with a shinigami or a civilian with shinigami qualifications next time."

The cold words with indescribable cruelty, resounded among the land of Rukongai.

...

In a tavern.

Mazuru was drinking with Kyoraku Shunsui, besides the two of them, there were two other people.

Shihouin Yoruichi and Urahara Kisuke.

At the beginning, Yoruichi learned the concept of "Soru" from Mazuru, which was of great help to her in developing Shunkō. She owed Mazuru a favor, and she once said that she would buy Mazuru a drink.

And then, she did.

Going straight to the Thirteenth Division, and in front of Jushiro Ukitake, dragged Mazuru, who was drinking tea with him, to the tavern.

In the tavern, there was another person who had been waiting for a long time, and it was Kisuke.

So, like this, Mazuru met Kisuke through Yoruichi.

As for drinking with Shunsui, it was another accident.

One time when Mazuru was drinking with Yoruichi and Kisuke, hunsui happened to leave his squad and came to the tavern to dump work and have a drink. After noticing them he joined them.

"By the way, have you heard?" Shunsui said to the three of them after drinking a glass of wine.

"What?" Mazuru looked at Shunsui strangely.

Yoruichi also looked at him.

"Captain Hikifune Kiryu of the Twelfth Division will be promoted soon." Shunsui said flatly.

"Promoted?!" Mazuru was surprised.

"Hmm." Shunsui nodded, and suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed upward, "I heard what Old Man Yama said by accident."

Although Shunsui didn't say where Hikifune Kiryu was promoted, everyone knew that there could only be one place.

Team Zero!

Team Zero belongs to the King's special agents, not under the leadership of Central 46, but directly under the command of the Soul King, responsible for guarding the Soul King Palace and the Soul King.

And only those who have created something while serving the Soul Society that has never existed in the history of the Soul Society are eligible to be selected into the Team Zero.

Hikifune Kiryu, the Captain of the Twelfth Division, is such a person. She developed the technique of putting the "temporary soul" into the body, and then created the "Gikon", a pill that can force the soul out of the body.

It's not surprising that she will be selected into Team Zero!

"If Captain Hikifune Kiryu is promoted, Seireitei will probably have another captain position vacant after a while." Mazuru came back to his senses and said with a smile.

"That's right! I don't know who will be the new captain of the Twelfth Division. Maybe it's a certain deputy captain." Shunsui also smiled, looked at Mazuru and said, "It's a pity that the Twelfth Division is a technical team. The requirements for the captain are extremely high, if it is a battle team, brother Mazuru has a good chance."

Yoruichi on the side listened to the conversation between Shunsui and Mazuru, but did not speak, but glanced thoughtfully at Kisuke beside her.

She suddenly had an idea.

Here, after Shunsui said these words, he told Mazuru and the three of them, "The promotion of Captain Kiryu has not been fully determined yet, so please don't talk nonsense to the outside world."

After all, this matter has not been publicized yet, and no one can tell whether there will be changes, such as Hikishu Kiryu's refusal to be promoted to the Zero Division.

If the matter was spread out hastily and old man Yama found out, he would inevitably have to bear some reprimand from his teacher.

...

Although Shunsui kept Mazuru and others a secret, in fact, it didn't have to be kept secret for too long.

In less than half a month, Hikifune Kiryu, captain of the Twelfth Division, was promoted to the mysterious Zero Division of royal family agents.

No one knows where the Zero Team is and where the Soul King Palace is hidden.

In short, with the mysterious disappearance of Hikifune Kiryu and leaving Seireitei, the position of the captain of the Twelfth Division is vacant.

As a technical team, the Twelfth Division, although not a combat division, is no less important than those combat divisions. Naturally, the position of captain will not be left vacant for too long. Many people think that after Hikifune Kiryu's promotion, the one who will be promoted to captain position is Vice-captain Sarugaki Hiyori.

Until the day, when the hell butterflies appeared in front of the captains and vice-captains at the same time.

The head-captain's voice suddenly sounded.

"Order! All the captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 13 division should go to the First Division for a captain meeting before twelve o'clock at noon. Because the former Twelfth division Captain Hikifune Kiryu was promoted, someone was recommended by a captain and successfully passed the captain's assessment three days ago. The announcement ceremony for the new captain of the Twelfth Division will be held today, as stated!"

Who is the new captain of the Twelfth Division will be known soon.
