World of the Living, Karakura Town, Urahara Shop.
"What did you say!"
Kisuke Urahara opened his eyes wide, looked at the heavy-looking Black Cat Yoruichi opposite him, and said in surprise, "The soul swallowed by the attack!"
"Yes!" Black Cat Yoruichi nodded and said solemnly, "It must be someone who is absorbing Soul Society's soul that has not yet gone. Shadow thought it was going to be detrimental to me and attacked. When I arrived, the soul had also dissipated. There is no way to know the specific situation, but it is probably similar!"
"Absorb souls! If that's really the case, it would be troublesome!" Kisuke Urahara said; "But who are they? Why do they attack and devour souls!"
"Shadow said it was a strange Reiatsu that I had never felt before. It was not Bleach, nor was it a virtual thing!" Black Cat Yoruichi seemed to suddenly remember something, and his figure suddenly shook, and he said, "Could it be related to Aizen!"
"It's unlikely!" Kisuke Urahara shook his head and said; "Hōgyoku doesn't need human souls, and Aizen shouldn't need them either. Besides, these human souls are of no use to us Bleach!"
As he spoke, Kisuke Urahara sighed, rubbed his forehead with a headache, and said, "So, who are they?"
"No matter who they are..." Black Cat Yoruichi spoke in a low voice, with a flash of anger in his golden eyes; "How can you hurt the souls of ordinary humans? You know, without souls, there is really no life. Even Soul Society cannot go, it is like disappearing completely!"
"Yoruichi······"
"Lady Yoruichi!"
"Kisuke, just continue to test Ichigo and the others!" Black Cat Yoruichi stood up and walked out, his tone becoming more and more angry; "Leave these guys to me and Shadow. No matter what, we must find out who they are, and we must not let them continue!"
"Yes, Lady Yoruichi!"
Just slightly stunned, Shadow immediately stood up and followed him. Is this Yoruichi Shihōin!
Kisuke Urahara opened a small fan in front of his eyes, and there was a hint of smile under the covered corners of his mouth.
"Yoruichi, Shadow, I leave it to you! As Bleach, we must protect the soul of World of the Living. This is a task, a mission, and a responsibility for all of us, you, me, Kukaku, Kaien, Kensei, Hiyori, Lisa, Bai and Hirako, but since they are not here now, let us take their place!"
······
She walked out of Urahara Shop again, but her mood was much heavier than the last time. This incident was like a big stone pressing on her heart.
"Lady Yoruichi!" Shadow said; "I don't have any clues, what are you going to do?"
"Look for it!" Black Cat Yoruichi said while running on the road, looking around; "Continuing like this is not the answer, but there is no better way!"
"That's right!" Something suddenly occurred to him. Black Cat Yoruichi stopped at the edge of a flower bed for a moment and said thoughtfully, "If the person being attacked is a soul, then the possibility of attacking the same soul is very high. Although I don't know why, it is necessary to investigate it carefully!"
Shadow was kneeling on the ground, but he was silent as usual. He had been like this since he was a child. Most of the time, Yoruichi Shihōin was the one making the decisions. All he needed to do was to listen and execute.
Narrowing his eyes, Black Cat Yoruichi summoned two Hell Butterfly, attached what he wanted to say to them, and let them fly away.
"I notified Ukitake and asked him to temporarily close Senkaimon no matter what. The other Hell Butterfly went to find Soi Fon and asked her to come over first!" Black Cat Yoruichi said, and the figure jumped up again, flashed continuously, and disappeared into the night.
"Before Soi Fon arrives, let's continue searching like this! Maybe we will find nothing! Shadow, let's go!"
"Yes, Lady Yoruichi!"
······
Although it was true to say so, he still got nothing in one night. This made Black Cat Yoruichi grit his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
However, things are often like this, and there is a slight turning point inadvertently. Just when Black Cat Yoruichi relaxed his nerves that had been tense all night, Shadow, who had been shrouding the surroundings with a mental power exploration net, once again noticed the fleeting fluctuation of Reiatsu.
"It appeared!" His closed eyes suddenly opened, Shadow said in a deep voice.
"What..."
Black Cat Yoruichi was shocked, and just when he was about to say something, a familiar shout came from the sky, and then, a figure appeared in front of him in an instant.
"Lady Yoruichi! Master Shadow!" Soi Fon knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
"Yeah!" Black Cat Yoruichi nodded; "Here we come, Soi Fon, and I have to ask you to make a trip. It's really troublesome!"
"Please Lady Yoruichi stop saying such things!" Soi Fon raised his head and said seriously with a serious look on his face; "This is Soi Fon's honor!"
"Hey!" Black Cat Yoruichi shook his head, looked at Shadow, and said in a serious voice, "What's going on, Shadow, can you still track the fluctuations?"
"The approximate direction can be traced!" Shadow nodded.
"That's alright, Shadow, Soi Fon, let's hurry up!"
"Yes, Lady Yoruichi!"
······
Following the fluctuation of Reiatsu, one cat, two people and three figures flashed and chased after him.
On the way, I also passed the school where Ichigo Kurosaki is located. Far away, I heard Ichigo Kurosaki standing at the window and shouting loudly, "Mr. Yoruichi, Mr. Shadow!"
"Lady Yoruichi!"
"Don't worry about him, hurry up!" Black Cat Yoruichi said directly, the figure jumped up, exerted force on the window sill where Ichigo Kurosaki was, and disappeared.
"Yes, Lady Yoruichi!"
Shadow did the same, using this as a fulcrum to follow closely. As for Soi Fon, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he kicked and broke the window. However, no one will care about this now.
It was already night before I knew it. Because I only knew the approximate direction, sometimes I would go the wrong way, which wasted a lot of time. However, there was no better way.
"Hurry up!" Black Cat Yoruichi used Shunpo repeatedly, and his figure flashed. He was very close, already very close. That feeling was absolutely unmistakable.
"Yes!" Shadow and Soi Fon responded at the same time, following closely.
"Look!"
Suddenly, as if they noticed something, Black Cat Yoruichi and Shadow changed directions almost at the same time and ran over quickly. When they stopped, what appeared in front of them was a piece of clothing wrapped in sand, with a trace of Reishi still on it.
Soi Fon stepped forward, picked up the clothes, looked at Reishi, and said in a concentrated voice, "This is..."
"It's Reishi Residue!" Black Cat Yoruichi said; "They were faster than expected!"
"Send the information back to Soul Society!" Soi Fon turned to ask Black Cat Yoruichi.
"Yeah!" Black Cat Yoruichi nodded and said; "Ukitake should be preparing already!"
Hearing this, Soi Fon stopped answering, took out a glass tube filled with liquid, dipped a little Reishi into the liquid with the small wooden stick on the stopper.
"Now we can only wait for the news from Ukitake!" Black Cat Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I wonder if Soul Society has the backup data of Reishi!"
"If not, it would be very troublesome! Lady Yoruichi!" Shadow took the clothes from Soi Fon's hand.
"It's very troublesome!" Black Cat Yoruichi lowered his head slightly and sighed; "If not, the clues will be completely lost, and starting from the beginning will only make it more troublesome!"
"I hope not!" Soi Fon said, taking out the mobile phone used to communicate with Soul Society, waiting for the news from Jūshirō Ukitake.
After a while, the message from Jūshirō Ukitake was sent, but the ending was not what Black Cat Yoruichi and Soi Fon were happy to see, because Soul Society did not have data that matched Reishi. In other words, Black Cat Yoruichi's idea came true.
