Death: Captain Millennium

"Let's go! We ordinary people are really happy today..."

Lin Yu happily hummed this cheerful song while taking a leisurely walk to say goodbye to Kūkaku. His face was filled with a warm smile. After working so hard for so long, he finally dealt with the problem of Renji's Zanpakutō. At this moment, he was in a particularly good mood.

Lin Yu hummed a little tune as he walked briskly towards the Soul Society. Along the way, the breeze caressed his face, bringing a slight coolness that made him feel extremely comfortable. When he stepped into the first team, the situation suddenly took a dramatic turn.

"Compensate!"

The captain's brief but powerful roar was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, directly shocking Lin Yu to the spot. These two sudden words left him a little confused for a moment.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Yu's eyes widened, bewilderedly staring at the stern-faced Captain Yamamoto. He had never imagined that he'd just returned to the First Division, barely catching his breath, and he'd been caught red-handed by the Captain. Even more baffling was the fact that he'd incurred the First Division's debt without even realizing it.

Without saying anything, Captain Yamamoto reached out and grabbed Lin Yu, and walked straight towards the courtyard. Lin Yu was dragged into the courtyard in a daze.

When he took a closer look, he was stunned by the scene before him. The courtyard, which was originally full of lush green plants, was now in a mess and looked terrible, as if it had been hit by a terrible typhoon.

The ground was littered with scattered construction debris, trees that had been broken in half and fallen to the ground, a pavilion with only half of its face remaining, and so on.

"Master Shan, are you... not satisfied with the layout of the courtyard, so you're planning to tear it down and start over?"

Lin Yu looked at the ruined courtyard. Could it be that the captain wanted to carry out a large-scale renovation of the courtyard, but was short of funds, so he came to him for money? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

"Open your eyes wide and look carefully to see how those buildings and trees are broken!"

The captain's eyes were wide open, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, as if they would burst at any time. His ferocious face showed that he was in a state of extreme rage.

Hearing the captain's rebuke, Lin Yu didn't dare to delay and hurried forward. He first looked at the trees in front of him and the pavilion not far away. He saw that the fractures of the trees and the pavilion were very neat, as if they had been carefully cut.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch these broken surfaces. The touch from his fingertips made him gasp. These cross sections were as smooth as a mirror, without a trace of unevenness! This could not be the mark of a natural break, but someone had done it deliberately, and the blade must have been extremely sharp. Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought...

"Could it be... Rukia!!!"

Lin Yu's heart suddenly shook, and he suddenly realized that the broken things in front of him were obviously caused by the sheath he had brought back from Wang Yue. It was impossible for an ordinary Zanpakutō to have such powerful power.

"Rukia, get out here!!!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but get furious, and his roar resounded throughout the entire team.

Just now when Lin Yu returned to the first team, he felt something was wrong. He usually saw Rukia wandering around, but this time he had no sign of her.

At the time, he was still muttering in his heart, wondering where the little girl had run off to. Now it seemed that this evil disciple had caused trouble again, so he hid like a frightened rabbit, not even daring to show his face.

He remembered the many instructions he had given Rukia before leaving, asking her to take good care of the sheath and not use it carelessly.

Who would have thought that this girl would turn a deaf ear to his words and continue to do her own thing and cause trouble everywhere. Fortunately, this time she only swung the knife at the open space. If she had accidentally swung the knife at a colleague and caused a death, it would have been a big deal.

"Stop shouting!"

Captain Yamamoto waved his hand, and Lin Yu saw Chojiro walking out of the house with a figure. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Rukia who was tied up like a dumpling!

A piece of dirty, tattered cloth was stuffed into Rukia's mouth, forcing her to utter only indistinct groans. Her face flushed red with anxiety, and she kept shaking her head, her body twisting and struggling like a maggot.

"Alright! You're such a disobedient and unfilial disciple! If you don't get punished for three days, you'll tear the roof off the house!"

Lin Yu was furious. He roared as he untied the belt around his waist. Then he strode forward, grabbed Lucia's tightly bound body, and dragged her into the house like a dead dog.

"Woooooooo..."

Rukia, whose mouth was tightly blocked by a cloth, was shaking her head like a high-speed rattle, and she kept making dull and urgent whimpering sounds from her mouth.

She was extremely anxious and wanted to defend herself, but the rag blocked her mouth tightly, preventing her from uttering a single word.

After Lin Yu hung Rukia on the beam, he found that he had no suitable tools. He was about to go to the courtyard to find a bamboo stick, but the captain took out a whip from somewhere and handed it to him.

So Rukia had another meal of whip-fried meat, and her screams resounded through the sky.

Rukia felt so bitter. She felt that she was wronged! This matter had nothing to do with her at all, but now she had to bear such a big blame for the captain. This was simply an unprovoked disaster!

"Mr. Genryūsai, don't you think it's a bit too much for us to let Rukia take the blame? She's just a little girl, it must be very difficult..."

Chojiro tiptoed up to the captain like a thief. His stern face was full of entanglement and reluctance. This behavior was contrary to the gentlemanly demeanor he had always adhered to.

"Really?"

"Since you can't bear to see Rukia suffer, how about you take her place? Someone has to take responsibility for this matter anyway."

The captain narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Chojiro with a dark gaze, and spoke in a low and slightly threatening tone.

Hearing this, Chojiro trembled with fear, shaking his head like a rattle. What a joke! He didn't want to be the one being taken advantage of!

Lin Yu was furious about this matter at the moment. If he knew the truth, he would definitely beat him up without hesitation.

The thought of that horrific scene sent a chill down Chojiro's spine. While maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor was important, he decisively chose to protect himself over the possibility of physical brutality.

Whoever wants to take the blame can take it!
