Death: Captain Millennium

After sending Ishida Ryugen away, Lin Yu turned around, looked at Shiba Isshin with a grin and said, "Hey! Isshin. How come you're in such a mess? You're the captain of the Gotei 13 after all, and you can't even handle a Vastod."

Zhibo looked at Lin Yu in doubt and uncertainty, his heart full of suspicion and vigilance. He thought to himself: "Captain Lin Yu? Why are you here?"

Just before, he was attacked by a mysterious death god, and now Lin Yu suddenly appeared here, making him wonder if it was Lin Yu who attacked him. This situation made Yixin feel uneasy. He tried to find clues from Lin Yu's expression and tone, but found nothing.

Lin Yu's smile remained bright, seemingly oblivious to Yixin's doubts. However, in this seemingly relaxed atmosphere, the atmosphere between the two became subtle and tense.

Lin Yu pursed his lips at him. "You should first check on the girl next to you. If you keep going like this, she'll become weak."

When Zhibo Isshin heard Lin Yu's words, he quickly looked at Kurosaki Masaki beside him. As expected, her body was gradually becoming weaker and she was about to lose control.

His heart tightened, and he immediately poured his spiritual pressure into Masaki, trying to stop her from becoming a Hollow. However, Aizen's sneak attack had left him severely injured, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Seeing this, Lin Yu shook his head slightly and said softly, "Get out of the way, Yixin. You can't handle it in your current state." As he spoke, he reached out and pressed on Masaki's forehead, and a gentle spiritual pressure was injected into her body.

Kurosaki Masaki's Hollowification tendency gradually stopped, and her body temporarily regained stability. Shiba Isshin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Yu with gratitude.

"Thank you, Captain Lin Yu... I misunderstood you just now." Lin Yu waved his hand and said with a smile, "We are all family, there is no need to be polite. But who exactly injured you?"

Shiba Isshin's eyes turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know. He just slashed me from behind and disappeared. If I hadn't felt that the wound was caused by a Zanpakutō, I wouldn't have believed that it was the Shinigami who attacked me."

Lin Yu still had a faint smile on his face. He knew who had attacked Isshin. After all, he had witnessed Aizen, the sixth brother, slashing Isshin with a knife before quickly fleeing the scene.

Moreover, if Lin Yu had not confirmed that Aizen had left, he would never show up so easily.

"Yixin, the most crucial issue right now is how to completely eliminate the hollow power within this little girl. Otherwise, she will eventually become a hollow. What I did just now was only to temporarily suppress this power, but time is running out. We must come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Shiba Isshin frowned and said seriously, "But how can we completely eliminate the Hollow power from Masaki?"

Lin Yu was silent for a moment and then said, "I don't have any solution, but I know someone who can solve this problem."

Upon hearing this, Zhiba Isshin quickly asked, "Who is it?"

Lin Yu didn't say much, just motioned him to follow him, and said, "Bring Masaki with you and follow me."

After saying that, Lin Yu turned and left, and Shiba Isshin picked up Masaki and followed closely behind. Along the way, Shiba Isshin secretly wondered who possessed such powerful abilities that could help Masaki escape the Hollow. They passed through streets and alleys, eventually arriving at a small house. The house looked somewhat run-down, and it appeared to be a general store called Urahara Shoten.

Zhibo looked at the grocery store in front of him, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart. What exactly is this place? Why did Lin Yu bring them here?

As he pondered this, his eyes fell on the sign above the grocery store: Urahara Shoten. Urahara… He suddenly remembered someone. Could it be the Urahara Kisuke he remembered? But wasn't he a traitor to Soul Society?

At this moment, Lin Yu stopped, turned to Zhibo Isshin and said, "We're here."

Shiba Isshin couldn't help but ask, "Captain Lin Yu, this Urahara Store is the Urahara I'm thinking of, right?"

Lin Yu nodded and replied with certainty: "You are right, it is Urahara Kisuke."

Hearing this, Shiba Isshin's brows furrowed even more tightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Lin Yu walked to the door and knocked gently, his voice low and powerful: "Kisuke, open the door, I know you are in there."

After a moment, the door slowly opened, revealing a smiling face.

Urahara Kisuke just discovered that Lin Yu was coming here. At first, he just thought that Lin Yu was heading in this direction, but later he found that he was coming straight here. During this period, Kisuke also thought about escaping, but it was useless under Lin Yu's nose. Now the situation is unclear, so he decided to wait for him to come and see the situation.

Urahara Kisuke looked at Lin Yu in front of him and said, "Captain Lin Yu, how did you know I was here?"

Lin Yu smiled and replied, "I've always known that."

"So, are you here today to capture me, a traitor to Soul Society?" After Kisuke said this, the black cat beside him also took an attacking stance.

Lin Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking at the black cat with its hair standing up in front of him, and chuckled softly: "Xiao Yeyi, there's no need to be so hostile. Besides, you are no match for me if we really fight."

When Ye Yi heard this, the hairs on his body stood up instantly, and he was secretly surprised that Lin Yu actually knew that the cat was her.

"Ah! Let's not talk about this for now. The little girl that Isshin brought here has been corrupted by the power of a Hollow. I believe you must have a way to solve this problem."

"Well, of course, we also saw the battle just now."

Isshin Shiba stood by, bewildered and at a loss, completely unsure how to react to the situation. The situation was truly bizarre. Captain Lin Yu had known all along that Urahara and Yoruichi were here, yet he hadn't taken any action, allowing things to develop to this point. Why on earth was this happening?

"Don't just stand there, Isshin, let Kisuke check on Masaki."

"Oh well."

Urahara Kisuke carefully examined Masaki's physical condition, then frowned, "The situation is more serious than I thought. The power of the Hollow has penetrated deep into her body."

Shiba Isshin asked anxiously, "What should we do? Urahara, you must save her!"

Urahara Kisuke pondered for a moment, then looked up at Isshin: "There is only one way to save her. That is..." His voice was a little slow, as if with a hint of hesitation.

Isshin looked at Urahara Kisuke's appearance, and his heart sank. He knew that saving Masaki would definitely require a huge price. But he answered without hesitation: "Kisuke, tell me, no matter what the price, as long as I can save Masaki, I am willing to do it!"

Urahara Kisuke frowned slightly, stared into Isshin's eyes, and confirmed again: "Isshin, are you sure you have made up your mind? If you choose this path, there will be no turning back."

Isshin nodded vigorously, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Kisuke, I've thought it through clearly. If it weren't for Masaki's intervention today, I would have died at the hands of that Vashon. So, no matter what the cost, I must save her. Please tell me the specific method."

Urahara Kisuke took a deep breath and said slowly: "Isshin, you need to inject all your spiritual energy into Masaki's body and use your power to suppress the power of the Hollow. This will allow Masaki to return to normal, but it also means that you will lose all your spiritual power and become an ordinary person."

Isshin's eyes widened, and after a moment's silence, he answered resolutely, "I understand, but to save Masaki, I am willing to give up the power of the Shinigami. Kisuke, please help me."

Urahara Kisuke looked at Isshin quietly, his heart full of admiration. He knew that Isshin had made an extremely difficult decision, but it was the only way to save Masaki.
