I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

Faced with Kisuke Urahara's latest verbal probing, Erin simply smiled and did not respond directly.

Following behind Kisuke Urahara, the group soon went up the steps and entered a small wooden house on the ground.

On the bed in the room lay two artificial corpses, like puppets.

"Captain Erin, Miss Kuchiki, these are the prosthetic bodies I have created for you two over the past three months."

"The one on the left is Captain Erin's artificial remains, and the one on the right is Miss Kuchiki's artificial remains."

"Once your souls enter the artificial body, the artificial body will perfectly match your souls."

"All you two need to do is lie down."

Although she was only one step away from having a body that could completely cure the symptoms of her weakened soul, Haruko Kuchiki did not immediately enter the artificial body, but instead looked at Erin.

Haruko Kuchiki is not stupid.

Although she was very grateful to Yoruichi and Kisuke Urahara for healing her during the six months Erin was away, when Erin returned, through the conversation between Erin and Yoruichi, Haruko Kuchiki knew that Erin must have paid a price to get Captain Yoruichi and Third Seat Urahara to heal her.

“Erin-kun…”

"Wait a moment, Haruko."

Under the watchful eyes of Haruko Kuchiki and Kisuke Urahara, transparent ripples spread across the space in front of Erin, and the hilt of a Zanpakuto flew out from these ripples and was grasped by Erin.

Bankai - Five Visions of Omnipotence!

In an instant, Erin's Zanpakuto transformed into an eye-shaped gem and was placed on Erin's forehead, as if giving Erin a third eye.

This weapon was created by Erin based on the ability of Aizen Sousuke's Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, to control the five senses.

Its prototype is the Imperial Arm from a certain healing masterpiece.

After being crafted into a Zanpakuto by Erin, its Shikai, "Observer," grants the user one of five abilities: insight, farsightedness, X-ray vision, precognitive ability, or hallucination.

The Bankai "Five Visions" means that one can completely control these five visual abilities.

Although Erin felt that under the current circumstances, Kisuke Urahara would not do anything to his and Haruko's artificial remains, Erin would not neglect the necessary checks.

He would not entrust his and Haruko's lives to Kisuke Urahara's goodwill.

In order to investigate more thoroughly, Erin directly activated the Bankai of this Zanpakuto, unleashing its three abilities—Insight, X-ray Vision, and Future Vision—to their fullest potential.

Kisuke Urahara looked at the glimmer in Erin's pupils and realized that Erin was using her Zanpakuto's ability to probe her artificial body.

Fortunately, after seeing Erin's caution when passing through the portal, Kisuke Urahara took out two artificial bodies that had not been tampered with in any way.

After carefully scanning the two artificial bodies several times, Erin found no hidden tricks left by Kisuke Urahara, and nodded to Haruko Kuchiki.

……

Thank you to book lover Zhaoqi for the generous donation of 1,500 yuan.

Your support is my greatest encouragement.

Thank you!

Chapter 74 Present World

"Haruko, let me go in and try it out first. You can enter this artificial body after everything is fine."

Although he couldn't find anything wrong with the two prosthetic bodies even after using all five visions, Erin still wanted to be on the safe side and decided to use them himself first. If there were no problems, he would let Haruko use them.

Kisuke Urahara's Zanpakuto, Benihime, is one of the earliest Captain-level Zanpakuto created by Erin.

From Benihime, Erin absorbed the combat experience of Kisuke Urahara from over two hundred years later.

While this won't make Erin as smart as Kisuke Urahara, it will give Erin some understanding of Urahara's battle command.

Even if Kisuke Urahara implanted a Kido seal in this artificial body that could deceive Aizen, Erin was confident that he could break it with his more than two hundred years of experience compared to the current Kisuke Urahara.

When Erin's soul entered the artificial body on the left, the doll-like artificial body quickly transformed into Erin's appearance.

The red gauze dress, with two star-studded sashes, transformed into a luxurious long robe interwoven with burgundy and black.

"Well……"

Opening his eyes, Erin got out of bed and stretched his arms and legs.

"Compared to the Grim Reaper state, strength, speed, and defense have all been weakened to the extreme, leaving only the level of an ordinary person. Reactions to external stimuli have also been somewhat affected..."

"However, the spiritual pressure has not been weakened..."

"If we use this artificial body in battle, only the Kido (Demon Arts) will be least affected; Slash Techniques, Shunpo (Flash Step), and Hakuda (Hard Fighting) will be almost useless..."

"However, there were indeed no signs of tampering inside the artificial body."

At that moment, Erin nodded to Haruko Kuchiki and said, "Yes, that's fine, Haruko."

"Ah."

Less than three seconds after Haruko Kuchiki entered the artificial body, the artificial body transformed into Haruko Kuchiki's appearance.

"how do you feel?"

Seeing that Haruko Kuchiki had opened her eyes, Erin quickly went over to help her up and asked her with concern.

"Well……"

"Although I'm still a bit weak, it's like when you're tired and you sit down to rest, your strength gradually recovers, and I feel much more relaxed."

"Of course."

Kisuke Urahara squinted and smiled, "From now on, Ms. Kuchiki is a real 'person'."

"The weakness of the soul will continue to be nurtured by the body until Miss Kuchiki's soul is fully restored, at which point she will be able to become a normal person."

"Yes, thank you, Urahara."

Haruko's condition improved, and Erin's heart also relaxed. He smiled and said to Urahara, "I won't say anything more. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

"By the way, Urahara, since we'll be living in the mortal world from now on, we won't need to trouble two masters for anything. Could you lend me some of the money currently circulating in the mortal world as well?"

Urahara Kisuke: "..."

In the end, Kisuke Urahara couldn't resist Erin's persistent pleading and had no choice but to "temporarily lend" Erin his several houses in the human world, along with his underground base, and hurriedly returned to Soul Society through the portal.

If he stayed any longer, Kisuke Urahara suspected that he might lose all his other businesses in the modern world.

……

"Haruko, from now on, this will be our home."

After Kisuke Urahara left, Erin spent some time cleaning the rooms, and then took Haruko for a walk outside.

“Look, Haruko, here, here, and here, I’m going to fence them off and make a yard for us.”

"Here, I plan to dig a small pond and build a pavilion on top of it..."

"Here, we'll plant some cherry blossom trees..."

As they walked, Erin described to Haruko how he had transformed these houses into a beautiful home.

Only after seeing that Haruko Kuchiki looked a little tired did Erin take her back to the house and let her lie down on the bed to rest.

Although having a physical body allows Haruko's soul to slowly recover, it's important to remember that Haruko's soul has been oppressed by Erin for five years, so the recovery won't be quick.

After Haruko fell asleep, Erin left the bedroom and set up a defensive barrier called "Mirror Gate" around the room before exploring the surrounding area.

Kisuke Urahara's base in the modern world was mainly chosen to facilitate his experiments or research; the locations were all remote and sparsely populated.

In Soul Society, Haruko is the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family, one of the five noble families. She lives a life of luxury, with everything she needs taken care of.

In the present world, without the Kuchiki family, Erin must work hard for the survival of the two of them.

Therefore, he must first exchange the valuables left by Kisuke Urahara for edible food, and then find a way to earn money.

If Erin were to take Haruko out of Soul Society and then make her suffer, he would never forgive himself.

"Binding Technique Fifty-Five - Slapping the Toe and Chasing the Sparrow!"

As Erin chanted, a circle of spiritual pressure spread outward from Erin as the center.

Soon, the situation within a radius of dozens of miles around was imprinted in Ailin's mind.

Perhaps due to war, the population density in the world today is not high.

In Erin's perception, within a 20-kilometer radius centered on himself, there were only two villages with more than a hundred people each, and the rest of the scattered population would not exceed two thousand.

"Alas, with the war never ending, neither the economy nor technology can develop. Even among the warlords of this era, who can compare to the Kuchiki family in terms of lifestyle?"

“I can’t worry about other places, but in order to make Haruko’s life more comfortable, it is necessary to ensure that the villagers in this area are not affected by the war.”

"Now, let's go and contact these people to see if they have any ideas about moving to live in this area."

"After all, without using the Ghost Path, I don't have the ability to protect such a vast area right now."

After having this idea, Erin would go to the villages and scattered settlements after Haruko Kuchiki fell asleep to ask if the residents were interested in relocating.

To give these people confidence that he could protect them, Erin even demonstrated his swordsmanship.

Although his physique was greatly weakened due to his physical condition, Erin's status as a "Great Swordsman" was undeniable.

The slash that struck the hill dozens of meters away carved a deep trench into it.

So, very smoothly, the people who saw Erin's bravery all trembled and said they would move to the place Erin had designated to live.

Of course, because it was close to the autumn harvest, Erin also allowed them to move their families after harvesting the crops.

Before that, almost every household had to send one person to the place designated by Erin during the off-season to begin building the houses and planning the land under Erin's guidance.

……

Chapter 75 Bad news?

These people, who were forcibly relocated by Erin, were terrified of him.

After all, in an era before the development of guns and cannons, Erin, who could cause such great destruction with a casual wave of his hand, was no different from a god or demon in the eyes of the simple villagers.

However, everyone respected Haruko Kuchiki.

On one hand, Haruko Kuchiki is Lord Erin's wife, and no one dares to disrespect her.

On the other hand, while they were working, Haruko Kuchiki would often prepare food and water for them, and chat with them with a smile, which earned her everyone's support and love.
