Chapter 193: Hueco Mundo's New Guests

When Kisuke from the world of living passed the news of about the Bount's appearance to Yoruichi who was detained in the Soul Society through some special channels, the Soul Society learned of the events and began to be on guard.

Mayuri started to work even with his injuries, and began to try his best to recover the information about the "Bount".

In the world of living, Kisuke also began to conduct new experiments and researches, trying to find out the whereabouts of the group of "Bount".

However, an accident occurred very suddenly.

Just after Kisuke finally invented the instrument that could detect the Bount's reiatsu, the Bount suddenly disappeared, as if they had never existed in the world of living.

Afterwards, the Soul Society also heavily monitored the world of living to be sure that Bount had really disappeared.

The most obvious proof was that there were no such things as the disappearance of living souls in the world of living anymore.

It seemed that the disappearance of living souls that happened earlier was just an accident.

Bount, who had been showing signs, suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and even the specially made reiatsu detection equipment could not detect their reiatsu.

This made Kisuke, who was in the Urahara store in the world of living, feel a little unusual.

The Soul Society had also been on guard for a while, but as time passed, after discovering that the world of living was gradually stabilizing, they also gradually lowered their guard against the Bount.

In the final analysis, the Bount was just a race that was born due to an accident in the experiments by the Soul Society. Many years ago, the Soul Society had hunted them down. As far as the Soul Society was concerned, their strength was only mediocre. They wouldn't be a kind of enemy that could pose a threat to them.

…

In the Soul Society.

Feng House.

Sui Feng invited Mazuru to a drink again. Sui Feng was holding a wine glass, with a faint rosy glow on her cheeks and she couldn't help but sigh, "No one thought that it was a false alarm from the beginning."

Mazuru also picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine and said, "First, Aizen and others rebelled, then Bount appeared, and then disappeared suddenly. No one is sure whether there is any connection between these two events. It's the so-called eventful season."

Sui Feng's expression also became serious.

The defected Aizen, his alliance with Hueco Mundo, had become the Soul Society's biggest source of concern.

Right now, although Aizen had not made any moves yet, everyone knew that there will be a fight between Soul Society and Aizen sooner or later.

"In order to cope with the upcoming battle against Aizen, the head-captain seems to have started the election for new captains."

Mazuru said again.

Aizen defected before, for the Soul Society, in terms of the loss of captains, it was not too much, only the captains of the Fifth and Ninth Division were vacant. Compared to the situation in Soul Society a hundred years ago, the vacancy of only two captains, be it fighting issues or the team affairs of the two divisions, it could be easily resolved by sharing them among the other divisions.

But now it was different from the past, the confrontation with Aizen and Hueco Mundo was on the verge of breaking out. A battle was imminent.

Gotei 13 must fill the vacant captain position as soon as possible. 

Firstly, after filling the position of captain, it could improve the damaged morale of the two division, and secondly, it was to enhance the strength of Gotei 13 so that they could better deal with Aizen.

"It's true, the head-captain even came to me and asked me if there was any suitable candidate in the Onmitsukidō." Sui Feng responded truthfully.

It was not surprising that the head-captain would find Sui Feng. After all, Kisuke came from the Second Division back then, and the current captain of the Twelfth Division, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, was also brought out by Kisuke from the Nest of Maggots guarded by the Second Division.

…

In Hueco Mundo, unlike the Soul Society who was extremely cautious of Aizen, Aizen was not cautious or nervous for the upcoming battle at all. After all, the preparations that should be made have been done many years ago

Recently, there have been some new guests in the Las Noches.

Bount!

This group of people from the race that was attached with the word "miserable" engraved on their bodies since birth, after being subdued by Mazuru, was collectively sent to the Hueco Mundo by him.

For Bount, hollows regards them as food, so in the past, they all chose to avoid hollow's pursuit. They hid in the corners of the world of living, thinking of going to the Soul Society to take revenge on shinigami, but they didn't ever thought of going to Hueco Mundo.

After all, there was no reason for the prey to send itself to the hunter's lair.

"Unexpectedly, as a shinigami, you would choose to defect from the Soul Society and hang out with them."

Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ichinose Maki who was in the middle of the group of Bount, and said softly.

Maki looked calm, "I never thought that you guys, as shinigami, would hang out with hollows."

He referred to not only to Gin, but also Aizen and Kaname of betraying the Soul Society and joining Hueco Mundo. 

Having said that, after seeing Gin and Kaname in the Las Noches, he was inevitably a little shocked. He never thought that after coming to Hueco Mundo, several shinigami would actually have such a lofty attitude and welcome them.

Those hollows who are hostile to shinigami were willing to submit to shinigami.

At the same time, he also found something unusual.

It was the hollows in the depths of the Las Noches, the masks on their faces were all broken. This was different from the hollows in his memory, and he could also feel another thing… on these hollows's body, the reiatsu that was leaking was extremely strong, which meant they were all very strong.

Of course, what shocked Maki the most was that Mazuru, the captain of the Third Division, would actually have contact with Aizen and others who had defected from the Soul Society, which also made him think a lot of conspiracy theories.

For example, the betrayal of Gin, the vice-captain of the Third Division, was not accidental.

The captain of the Third Division who was still in the Soul Society was not so innocent.

He didn't leave Soul Society with Aizen and others, probably because he had other plans.

Gin smiled lightly and did not responded to Maki's words.

At that moment, a calm voice sounded, "What an interesting race, are they created by you?"

Ran'Tao, with an indifferent expression, turned around and looked at the speaker.

Aizen Sosuke!

At that time, Aizen no longer had the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his hair was combed back, leaving only a few strands of hair hanging from his forehead, showing his sharpness. 

He was letting the Hōgyoku merge with him to break through the boundaries of shinigami, but after learning that Mazuru sent the once-disappeared race of soul hunters, the "Bount" and the creator of Bount, Ran'Tao, to the Las Noches. Aizen felt that he should go and see them, by both emotional and rational point of view.

Since Ran'Tao was able to create the race of "Bount", she was undoubtedly a scientist and should be able to share a common language with him.
