This is the highest-level funeral in the Seiring Court.
Generally speaking, these are only used when the important family members of the four great nobles or the captain of the court guard are buried.
Motoyanagi Shigekuni Yamamoto stood alone at the front of the line, with his back to the crowd, under the funeral platform.
The breeze came slowly, and slowly lifted his feathers, and lifted up the empty sleeve of his severed arm.
He was leaning on a cane with one hand, and his back 203 looked extraordinarily lonely.
Shi Yu looked at the back in front of him, and felt too many emotions that he had never felt before.
Not far away, the young vice-captains such as A Sanjing Renji were obviously a little uncomfortable.
They didn't understand why the deputy captain, who basically never participated in battles, received this level of funeral after his death.
At this moment, Kuchiki Byakuya in front of him opened his eyes.
He who has always been reticent, seemed to have noticed the confusion of Lianji and the others, so he took the initiative to speak.
He looked ahead and said softly:
"Master Sparrow Jiro Tadashi, in fact, is the god of death who is qualified to be the captain of the court guard."
"According to the records in the classics, long before the birth of the leader of the Beijing band and the leader of Ukitake, he already mastered the ultimate mystery of the god of death...卍解."
Byakuya Kuchiki spoke unhurriedly, Renji Asai, Rukia and the others beside him were stunned.
Kuchiki Byakuya did not intend to stop, and continued:
(dbbi)
"That said, but..."
"Since the establishment of the Thirteenth Guarding Team thousands of years ago, he has never used his power in front of others."
"Even if you have the strength of the captain class, if you don't show it, you don't know it."
"Although I have heard about the strength of Quebec, many people look down on him because he is a 'vice captain who never fights'."
"I even think...he is only worthy of being an officer."
"However, no matter what kind of treatment and attention you receive, it can't affect the status of Sparrow Minister Jiro as the deputy captain of the first team."
"In the following years, the captain position of the Gotei Thirteenth Division has been constantly changed, and the position has been vacated several times."
"But let alone the temporary acting captain, he insisted on refusing to accept even the long-term vacancies of the third division and the ninth division."
"And all of this is because of...his strong loyalty."
"He once swore that as long as Yamamoto Genryuzai is still alive, he will only serve as his vice-captain in this life."
"But now, for the first time in battle, he used his swastika...but he died because of it."
Having said that, Kuchiki Byakuya's face moved slightly, lowered his eyes slightly, and said softly:
"The mourning of the chief commander is something that we young people can never imagine."
Following Kuchiki Byakuya's narration, the hearts of everyone around him became heavier.
They suddenly began to feel the sadness behind the captain's back.
After a long time, Yamamoto Genryuzai raised his head slightly, looked at the top of the funeral altar, and said softly:
"... light the fire."
……
After the team funeral, the atmosphere of grief lingered for a long time.
However, everyone also knew that the situation facing them in the future would be even more severe.
Even Yamamoto Genryuzai, of course, knew that he couldn't stop at this.
So, not long after, he immediately held a captain's meeting.
However, due to the seriousness of this meeting, all the vice captains were placed in the side hall, and only the captains were allowed to attend the meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, there was a report brought by the Technology Development Bureau.
However, Nirvana Yuri is not a person who likes this kind of reporting work, so he naturally entrusts this task to Ajin, who is the deputy director.
"Captains, the following is the entire observation report of this disaster—"
"Four hours and 27 minutes ago, seven unidentified people invaded the duty room of the first team, stayed for 2 minutes, and quickly retreated."
"At the same moment, the area around the Black Lens Gate, which is in charge of patrolling in the first team, was also invaded by unknown people in the same attire."
"During the 182-second battle, the total number of team members died... 116."
"Vice-captain Sparrow was fatally injured in this attack."
"The invasion and retreat methods of those invaders are completely unknown."
"Judging from the fact that the soul-cloaking membrane around the Seiring Court has not observed any effect, the opponent may have some kind of movement method that ignores the existence of the soul-cloaking membrane!"
"In addition, since all the witnesses of the invasion died, the number of people who invaded outside is still unknown."
"However, judging from the traces of the spiritual pressure measurement in our bureau, the enemy is probably..."
"One!"
At this point, all the captains' faces changed.
In other words, in just 2 minutes, he single-handedly killed... 117 people including the vice-captain of Sparrow? !
Moreover, in the huge team, there was not a single witness survived at all? !
This kind of weird strength... In the end, who is it? !
—————————.
319 The real culprit! (3/4)
"—The above is the full text of the report on the whole story of this bandit invasion case."
Ah Jin finished his report in an orderly manner, then lowered his head.
In the conference room, silence fell at this moment, and after a while, Nie Yuri said:
"Tsk, thank you for your hard work, Ah Jin, you can step back now."
"Yes."
Ah Jin bowed slightly, then walked out through the side door without hesitation, and left the meeting room.
At this time, Nie Yuli stepped out of the queue, and while walking, he showed a strange smile and said:
"So……"
"The disaster of this invasion—let's call it the 'thief army~'."
"When they attacked you, Captain, they called their forces... the 'Invisible Empire', right?"
"This point is exactly the same as their whereabouts, coming without a shadow, going invisible-..."
As Nirvana Mayuri spoke slowly, Toshirō Hitsugaya and the other captains on the side immediately showed pensive expressions.
But Nirvana Yuri didn't stop, the smile on his face became wider, and he continued:
"In fact, not long ago, the Technology Development Bureau observed a large number of virtual group disappearance events—note, I said 'disappear', not 'purification'..."
"And today's invasion of this group of bandits is also closely related to the recent disappearance of the virtual group."
"Speaking of which, I think, you smart captains are already able to make a judgment?"
Mayori Nirvana raised her eyes, swept across the faces of all the captains, and finally looked at Yamamoto Genryuzai, and said:
"The true face of the bandits is—"
"Destroyer!"
"?!"
The moment Nirvana Yuri's voice fell, almost all the captains froze.
Their pupils narrowed slightly, staring at Nirvana Yuri, unable to believe it.
But Nirvana Mayuri didn't care about their gazes, still staring at Yamamoto Genryuzai, and said with a smile:
"According to the historical records of the Soul Realm, the Quincies were eradicated many years ago."
"So, the ones that appear now... how did they survive? How did they expand their power? All of these... are currently unknown."
"But at present, what we should be most vigilant about is that they seem to have a way to ignore the soul-cloaking membrane."
"And according to Vice Captain Sparrow's last words, everyone must have known in advance that his swastika was blocked by the enemy the moment he was released... that is, he has the means to disable it..."
"enough!"
At this moment, Yamamoto Motoryuzai, who had been lowering his eyes, suddenly interrupted Mayuri Nirvana, then raised his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Captain Nie, information sharing is enough, and the old man wants you to find out..."
"It's their base, where is it?!"
In the eyes of Yamamoto Genryuzai at this moment, the grief from before was no longer there.
Instead, it was an unquenchable anger!
Hearing this, the captains around were naturally moved in their hearts.
Hearing this, Nirvana Yuri put away her smile, then shook her head, and said helplessly:
"...I'm sorry, but that's still...unknown."
Naturally, he also conducted many speculations and investigations, but he never found a trace.
And this is what he fears the most about this group of Quincies.
The invisible enemy is the most difficult enemy.
"...Really? Then it seems that we will not be able to take the initiative to attack."
"Tom!"
The wooden stick in Yamamoto Motoryuzai's hand looked at the ground and sank, his eyes opened, and the light shot out, his eyes swept quickly, and he said in a deep voice:
"...I now order all the guard captains to immediately start preparing for the battle ahead!"
"Although the advance troops of the bandit army announced that 'the war will start in five days',... the treacherous words that they will launch such a surprise attack cannot be trusted at all!"
"We should immediately prepare for battle with full energy and full speed!"
"Absolutely can't... Let them take the lead!"
Yamamoto Motoryuzai said firmly and quickly, on that old face, it was his monstrous anger!
Under this kind of anger, even the guard captains remained silent.
For hundreds of years, they have never seen that the captain would lose his composure to such an extent.
……
The pre-war countermeasure meeting ended, and the captains of each team left immediately with their deputy captains.
····Ask for flowers····
Yamamoto Genryuzai, on the other hand, walked towards the duty room alone.
However, when he turned a corner, he found that Nirvana Yuri had stopped here unexpectedly.
Yamamoto Genryuzai stopped, and Nirvana Yuri immediately spoke.
He leaned his back against the wall, with no joy or sadness on his expression, and calmly said:
"The Quincy Masters massacred the Void Group, directly breaking the balance of souls between the world of corpses and souls."
"So, without permission, I personally mobilized the members of the [-]th squad, in order to correct this imbalance, and..."
"Directly obliterated [-] people from Liuhun Street."
"..."
Hearing this, Yamamoto Genryuzai raised his eyes slightly, his face remained unchanged, and said softly:
…
