Death: Captain Millennium

Lin Yu and Bayunzhai were wandering aimlessly in the mall when Bayunzhai suddenly said, "Don't you think this is boring?"

After hearing this, Lin Yu smiled slightly and responded, "How can it be boring? I successfully transformed a Quincy into a Shinigami. Isn't that a cool thing?"

Hearing this, Bayunzhai shook her head helplessly and sighed, "I'm really impressed by you." After that, she ignored Lin Yu and the two continued to walk forward.

Lin Yu was still immersed in his own world. At this moment, Bayunzhai suddenly stopped, turned to look at Lin Yu, then used his dragon claw hand to pinch Lin Yu's waist.

"hiss!"

Lin Yu suddenly felt a pang of pain and couldn't help but let out a cry. He looked at Bayunzhai in surprise, wondering why she did this. Bayunzhai smiled smugly, seeming very satisfied with her behavior.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yu looked at Bayunzhai with an innocent face.

"Who told you to be so self-righteous?" Bayunzhai pouted and scolded.

"How could I?" Lin Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Then you'd better think about where we're going next?" Bayunzhai shook Lin Yu's arm.

"Okay, okay." Lin Yu begged, "There's a dessert shop up ahead, let's go have some dessert."

"Great!" Bayunzhai cheered and pulled Lin Yu towards the dessert shop.

Lin Yu ate his dessert leisurely, mumbling, "Wife, Isshin's house was attacked by Hollows last night, and Masaki has revealed her identity as a Death God. Do you think she will betray me?"

Bayunzhai frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Do you think she will betray you?"

Lin Yu shook his head without hesitation and answered with certainty: "I don't think Masaki would do that."

Bayunzhai rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, "Then why are you asking?"

"That's right, Masaki is a very kind child." Lin Yu said softly.

Bayunzhai finished the last bite of dessert, wiped his mouth, and looked at Lin Yu, "I'm still a little worried. What if the Soul Society investigates?"

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Yu glared at her, "I'm here!"

"Hehe, I gave Kurosaki Ichigo some trouble at school the other day! I'm sure Isshin will soon realize that I'm not dead. Haha, do you think he'll be completely stunned when he finds out I'm still alive?"

"Hmm... well, I don't know if he's stupid or not, but I think he'll probably give you a good beating."

"What? He dared to hit me? Humph, let's see who can beat who!"

"Alright, alright, stop messing around." Lin Yu interrupted Bayunzhai with a smile, "But seriously, if Yixin and the others knew you were still alive, they would definitely be very happy."

The two walked out of the dessert shop while talking.

"Oh, right!" Bayunsai seemed to suddenly remember something, "Since Masaki has revealed her identity as a Shinigami, we have to be careful. Maybe Hollow or Aizen will come looking for us."

"Don't worry, I will protect you." Lin Yu patted his chest and said confidently.

"Then I'll leave it to you, husband~" Bayunzhai said with a smile, his eyes full of trust and dependence.

Lin Yu and Bayunzhai walked hand in hand into the bustling crowd.

The next morning, Kurosaki Isshin got up early and followed Ichigo to school stealthily. He was secretly thinking about who the principal who bullied his son was. Moreover, he felt a sense of déjà vu about this principal, which made him very curious.

When he entered the school, he found he had no idea where the dean was. So he began to look around, cautiously searching for his target. Just then, a large figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his view. Startled, he took a step back, and upon closer inspection, he saw a tall man.

But when he looked up and saw that smiling face that was so familiar, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

"What the hell?" This was the first thought that came to his mind. Because the person standing in front of him was Lin Yu, who had been dead for more than ten years!

Kurosaki Isshin asked tremblingly, "Captain Lin... Captain Lin Yu?"

Lin Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Wrong answer! Captain Lin Yu has been stabbed to death by Aizen. My name is Ling Yu now."

"Wait a minute! Let me sort it out!" Yixin was a little dizzy now. Isn't Captain Lin Yu Lin Yu?

Lin Yu corrected Yixin's mistake. "Wrong! It's Lingyu, not Linyu!"

"Xiao Yixin, you seem a little confused." Lin Yu said with a smile.

Kurosaki Isshin rubbed his eyes, and after making sure he wasn't dreaming, he stammered, "Aren't you dead? How could this happen..."

"Haha, it's a long story. I was indeed stabbed by Aizen back then, but fortunately, I didn't die. However, that battle made me lose my strength, and I only recovered recently." Lin Yu explained simply.

"As expected, Urahara Kisuke and I have reviewed the situation. You shouldn't have died so easily. But what about you now?" Kurosaki Isshin was still somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong with me? I'm the principal of this school. I shouldn't be like this?" Lin Yu said with a smile.

Hei Qi Yixin heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "That's good, that's good... By the way, you said your name was Ling Yu?"

"Yes, this is my name now. However, if you like, you can also call me Captain Lin Yu like before." Lin Yu said jokingly.

"Haha, what an interesting name." Kurosaki Isshin laughed, and most of his doubts were dispelled. "By the way, Lin Yu... Oh no, Ling Yu, how come you are the dean here?"

"It's not bad to stay in this world and be a teacher." Lin Yu said seriously, "Besides, I also like being with young people. I feel younger too."

"Yeah, that's true." Kurosaki Isshin nodded. "But since you're not dead, why don't you return to Soul Society? The people in Soul Society miss you very much."

"Miss you? Don't forget that I'm a wanted criminal in Soul Society, a traitor who killed you and Tosen Kaname. It would be great if they knew I was still alive and didn't hunt me down." Lin Yu smiled mysteriously, "But when the time is right, I will naturally go back."

"Well, since you have your own plans, I won't ask any more questions." Hei Qi Yixin patted Ling Yu's shoulder, "However, if you need any help in the future, just ask, don't be polite with me."

"Don't worry, I won't be polite with you." Ling Yu said with a smile, "By the way, your son Kurosaki Ichigo is doing well in school, but he's a little naughty sometimes."

"This brat always worries me." Hei Qi shook his head helplessly, "Lin Yu, you have to discipline him well."

"No problem, leave it to me." Ling Yu said confidently, "However, Kurosaki Ichigo is a child with great potential. As long as he is guided properly, he will definitely become an outstanding child in the future."

"Captain Lin Yu, who were the two masked men who carried away your body and Zanpakuto?" Kurosaki Isshin asked seriously.

Lin Yu blinked, then put on an innocent expression and began to talk nonsense seriously: "Masked man? I don't know! Where did the masked man come from? I woke up in an abandoned factory, alone." He spoke confidently, as if he really didn't know about it.

However, Kurosaki Isshin's face twitched, and he was obviously not satisfied with Lin Yu's answer. He frowned and said helplessly, "Captain Lin Yu, you are still so unreliable. How can you lie with your eyes open? It wasn't just me that day. Urahara and the others also saw those two masked men." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Facing Kurosaki Isshin's questioning, Lin Yu still insisted on his statement, shook his head and said: "Isshin, why don't you believe what I said? I really have never seen any masked man. Maybe you saw it wrong, or there are some other reasons. Anyway, I really don't know." His expression seemed very sincere, but in fact he was deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"Alright, alright," Kurosaki Isshin waved his hand, "I don't expect you to tell the truth anymore. But, you've been missing for so long this time, have you been staying in Karakura Town the whole time?"

Lin Yu sighed inwardly. This little fox is not easy to deal with. He scratched his head and said with a smile, "I told you I just woke up recently. Where else would I be if not in Karakura Town? But I still met some strange guys. They are similar to Hirako and Mako, but they are actually Hollows."

"Oh? The same as Hirako and the others? Or Hollows?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Kurosaki Isshin's eyes. "Something you call strange must be something extraordinary. Did you notice anything when you fought them?"

"Uh... I've already said that I'm just an ordinary person now, how can I possibly fight them?" Lin Yu pretended to be thoughtful. "Anyway, their aura is very strange, and like us Shinigami, they all have weapons similar to Zanpakuto."

"Hollow? With a Zanpakuto?" These two unusual points made Kurosaki Isshin frown.

"I'm not sure if it's a Zanpakutō." Lin Yu nodded, "But this is just my guess. The specific situation requires further investigation."

"Okay." Hei Qi Yixin looked at Lin Yu, "Since you are back, take a rest first. Let me know if there is any news."

"No problem." Lin Yu smiled, then turned and left. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: I finally got away with it...

"There is another question." Kurosaki Isshin suddenly called out to Lin Yu.

"Anything else? Yixin, can you please ask all the questions at once? Really..." Lin Yu complained helplessly.

"Ichigo told me that he always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with you, as if he had met you before. What's going on?" Kurosaki Isshin looked at Lin Yu with a serious expression, waiting for his answer.

After hearing this question, Lin Yu couldn't help scratching his head and secretly complaining in his heart. He knew in his heart that he and Kurosaki Ichigo had indeed met when they were children, but he couldn't tell Kurosaki Isshin about this.

He had to come up with a reasonable excuse to get away with it, so he began to rack his brains to think about how to deal with this difficult problem.

"Well..." Lin Yu touched the back of his head with a distressed expression, "I don't know either. Maybe Ichigo met me when he was shopping, so he had this feeling." He deliberately emphasized the word "shopping", hoping that Kurosaki Isshin would stop asking questions.

Kurosaki Isshin didn't seem to completely believe what Lin Yu said, but he didn't ask any further questions. He just nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly took the opportunity to say, "Oh, maybe that's the case. Yixin, don't think too much, maybe it's just an illusion. I'm leaving first, and I'll contact you if there's anything." After that, he left in a hurry, fearing that Kurosaki Yixin would ask some difficult questions again.

Hei Qi Yixin looked at Lin Yu's hurried appearance. "Running so fast, there must be something wrong."

Kurosaki Isshin turned and walked out of the school, muttering to himself, "Captain Lin Yu must be hiding something from me. But judging from his expression, some of what he said should be true. But why does Ichigo feel that way about him? Is it really because they met by chance on the street as he said? I should find a chance to ask Ichigo."

Elsewhere, after Lin Yu escaped the scene, he patted his chest and gasped, "It was a close call. I almost got caught. But luckily, I was smart and managed to get away with it for now. However, Kurosaki Isshin still seems to have some doubts about me. I have to be more careful next time."

He decided to reduce his contact with the Kurosaki family in the near future to avoid causing more trouble. After all, the current situation was complicated enough, and if more problems arose due to frequent contact with the Kurosaki family, it would not be worth the loss.

He also prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Kurosaki Masaki would not tell anyone about this. As for Ichigo, he had a seal on his mind, so there was no need to worry. As long as he did not take the initiative to remove the seal, he would not remember anything about Lin Yu.

After returning home, Kurosaki Isshin found Ichigo and asked him seriously, "Ichigo, I remember you met your school's principal on the street when you were a child, right?"

Ichigo frowned, trying to recall every detail of the past. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall this memory. He shook his head helplessly and replied, "Dad, I really can't remember it. Maybe it was too long ago, or maybe I was too young at the time. I can't remember these things at all."

Ichigo continued, "But, for some reason, I always feel that the dean gives me a very strange feeling. This feeling is hard to describe in words, but it makes me feel somewhat familiar. I don't know if we have met before, or if it's just my illusion."

Hearing this, Kurosaki Isshin's expression became even more solemn. He knew that Ichigo had always had a sharp intuition. If he had such feelings about Lin Yu, then they must have met before. However, he didn't know when or where they had met.
