Death: Captain Millennium

At Urahara Shoten, Yoruichi, who had been missing for many days, finally returned.

Kisuke Urahara was standing at the door with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Yoruichi, he immediately went up to her and picked her up, looking left and right, as if checking if she was injured or missing any parts.

"Yoichi-san, where have you been these days? We are all very worried about you!" Urahara Kisuke asked nervously.

Ye Yi rolled his eyes at him unhappily and said, "Where else could I go? Of course I was kidnapped by those mysterious people."

Urahara Kisuke widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Then how did you escape back?"

Ye Yi answered nonchalantly, "I didn't have the ability to escape back, but they let me back."

"Then...what is going on?" Urahara Kisuke asked in confusion.

However, Yoruichi interrupted him impatiently: "Don't ask, even if you ask, I won't tell you. Some things you will only know when the time is right. You should worry about Kurosaki Ichigo now." After that, Yoruichi turned and walked into the store.

Kisuke Urahara has always had a high opinion of himself and thought he was extremely smart, but at this moment he felt like a clown.

It seemed that every move he made was known to others, and he couldn't even hide the fact that he went to save Ichigo Kurosaki.

He was very uncomfortable with the feeling of being closely monitored, and what was worse was that he didn't even know who was monitoring him. This feeling of powerlessness hit him hard and made him feel depressed.

Fortunately, these people had no ill intentions. At least in the matter of fighting against Aizen, their goals were the same, which made Urahara Kisuke feel a little relieved.

Despite this, he was still full of doubts about the origins and purpose of these people. After all, their existence was too mysterious, and their strength was too incredible.

Urahara Kisuke has now confirmed that Lin Yu is one of this group of mysterious people, but he has no idea about the other members. He racked his brains and tried to guess the true identity of this group of people from various clues.

Ultimately, he could only come to one conclusion: they might be powerful beings hidden within Soul Society, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike.

However, Urahara Kisuke would never have imagined that this group of people were actually the first generation captains who had passed away long ago, and they were all rescued from hell by Lin Yu.

At this moment, the unconscious Kurosaki Ichigo began to dream. In his dream, he felt like he had fallen into an icy ice cave. His body was getting colder and colder, as if he was about to freeze to death. He struggled hard, but the ice around him trapped him tightly, making him unable to move.

Just when he thought he was about to die, he suddenly saw a warm flame in the water. He desperately tried to get closer to the flame, hoping to get some warmth from it. Gradually, as he continued to get closer to the flame, his body began to warm up, and the fear of impending death gradually disappeared.

Ichigo snapped his eyes open and found no ice holes or flames around him, only a peaceful silence. He lay quietly in bed, a bearded man lying on top of him under the covers. "Pervert! Who are you? Get out of here!" he screamed in terror.

Wuling Tesai crawled out from under the covers and spoke seriously. "Mr. Kurosaki, you're finally awake. Your body temperature dropped rapidly just now. I was worried that your life was in danger, so I used my body to help you warm up."

Ichigo shook his still dizzy head and began to carefully observe his surroundings. It was a room full of Japanese style, filled with all kinds of strange props and decorations. It looked a bit messy, but also had a unique sense of warmth. "This looks like Urahara's shop..." he muttered to himself.

Ichigo recalled what happened before. Before he fell into coma, he seemed to see the wooden clog hat. Could it be that he really saved him?

While he was thinking, the door was gently pushed open, and Urahara and Yoruichi walked in. Urahara looked at Ichigo with concern, "Kurosaki-san, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ichigo shook his head, but his first concern turned to Ishida Uryuu, who had also fallen on the battlefield. "Geta, what about the other guy who fell there?"

Urahara smiled slightly and comforted him: "That boy didn't suffer much damage and went back a long time ago. You should take care of yourself. You have lost the power of the Shinigami now. You are lucky to be alive."

Hearing this news, Ichigo felt relieved, but at the same time, he also felt a little lost. He was planning to rescue Rukia, but what else could he do without the power of the Shinigami?

"Kurosaki-san, what do you think of the strength of the two people you fought?" Urahara Kisuke's voice brought Ichigo back to reality from his thoughts.

"Very strong!" Ichigo answered without hesitation.

"These two are the captain of Soul Society's Sixth Division, Byakuya Kuchiki, and the vice-captain, Renji Abarai. According to regulations, personnel at the vice-captain level and above must limit their spiritual pressure when traveling to the human world, so the strength they displayed was only 20% of their usual strength." Urahara Kisuke calmly explained to Ichigo a fact that was difficult for him to accept.

Ichigo widened his eyes and looked at Urahara Kisuke in disbelief: "How is it possible?"

"I forgot to tell you, Rukia has been sentenced to death by Soul Society." Urahara Kisuke's voice became heavy.

"What? Didn't she say that at most he would be imprisoned? How could it be the death penalty?" Ichigo asked excitedly.

"Unfortunately, the latest news we received is the death penalty." Kisuke Urahara shook his head helplessly.

"Geta Hat, can you help me regain my Shinigami powers? I want to go to Soul Society and save Rukia."

Urahara Kisuke shook his head helplessly, "Your 'Locked Knot' and 'Soul Sleep' were cut off by Kuchiki Byakuya, so it will be difficult to recover."

Kurosaki Ichigo gritted his teeth and asked unwillingly, "What about my father? Is there anything he can do? Wasn't he also the captain of Soul Society? He was also the head of the Shiba family. My mother is also a Shinigami!"

Urahara Kisuke looked at him in surprise, "How did you know?"

Kurosaki Ichigo said anxiously: "Rukia told me that she recognized my father."

Urahara Kisuke was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Kurosaki-san, your father was indeed the captain of the 10th Division, but he lost his Death God powers in order to save your mother. As for the Shiba family you mentioned, it has fallen on hard times now and can't help you."

Ichigo clenched his fists and reluctantly asked Urahara Kisuke again.

Urahara Kisuke pretended to be in a dilemma, "Ichigo, there is a way, but it is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will become a hollow. Do you dare?"

"I dare!" The boy's passion always surprises people, and Ichigo made his choice without hesitation.

Urahara threw this difficult question directly to Kurosaki Isshin. "Even if you have the courage, you can't do it. Go home and get your parents' consent before coming back to me." Hearing this, Ichigo hurried home anxiously.

"Kisuke, you are so mean that you even drag Isshin into this." Yoruichi licked his paw gently.

Kisuke's face lit up with a sinister smile. "Yoichi-san, I haven't thought about it that way. Ichigo is still a minor after all. It's only natural to ask his parents for their opinion, right?"

Taking advantage of the heat, Kisuke then threw an important question to Yoruichi: "Is Lin Yu still in Karakura Town?"

"Well, I can tell you that he has returned to Soul Society." Yoruichi replied.

"Captain Lin Yu! He is really unpredictable. Fortunately, he is not our enemy, otherwise it would be a lot of fun." Lin Yu's problems have always been something Urahara was unwilling to face. God knows what this guy is doing.
