Death: Captain Millennium

Fourth Division

Bayunzhai and Unohana had originally planned to leisurely savor the fragrant tea together, but as the topic continued to deepen, the atmosphere gradually became heated, and unknowingly they abandoned their teacups and instead picked up their wine glasses to drink happily.

"Bayunzhai, you're so mean! You and Saito actually left me alone to go and have fun in the secular world, and now you've returned without a word, without even saying hello beforehand. Can we still be considered close friends?"

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Unohana could no longer suppress her dissatisfaction and began to complain incessantly like a machine gun.

In her opinion, her best friend was just a superficial one. She had ignored her for so many years. Even after returning to Soul Society, she came back empty-handed and showed no sincerity at all.

"My dear sister, this return was truly a complete accident. I was caught completely at the last minute and had no time to make any preparations. But don't worry, next time! Next time for sure!"

Facing Unohana's criticism, Bayunsai couldn't help but feel a headache, and his forehead was covered with black lines. It turned out that after all this fuss, Unohana was actually dissatisfied with him for not bringing any gifts when he returned, and hadn't expressed any gratitude at all.

"Hmph, stop trying to put me off with these words. Tell the truth! Where on earth did Lin Yu go? Is he really on some secret mission like the captain said?"

Unohana didn't seem to intend to let Bayunsai off easily, and immediately asked another question.

Unohana knew very well that the captain and Lin Yu always liked to do some small tricks in secret. Lin Yu's whereabouts were unknown this time, which made her suspicious and wondered whether there was an ulterior conspiracy hidden in it.

The Aizen incident is a good example. If she hadn't realized something was wrong and ran to question Lin Yu, she doesn't know how long the secret would have been kept secret.

"I really don't know where he went!"

Bayunzhai looked innocent.

"Really?"

Unohana stared intently into Bayunsai's eyes, as if trying to see the truth hidden deep within her heart. However, no matter how carefully she observed, she could not find any trace of falsehood in Bayunsai's eyes.

"He came to see you, didn't he?"

Unohana continued to ask, with a hint of doubt in her tone.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Bayunzhai answered without hesitation, his voice firm and resolute.

"you are lying!"

Unohana slammed the table and stood up. Ever since Bayunsai had just appeared in the First Division, she had keenly sensed an elusive aura about him. Especially his spiritual pressure, she was completely unable to fathom the intensity of this spiritual pressure.

This feeling was exactly the same as when he faced the captain who had regained his youth a few days ago. The captain's rejuvenation and strength improvement clearly showed signs of Lin Yu's secret involvement.

Bayunzhai has now undergone such a transformation, which must be related to Lin Yu.

For so many years, the strength of the captain and Bayunzhai has remained stagnant, with no improvement at all. How could it be that at such a coincidental time, the strength of both of them improved like a rocket?

This is not scientific! It is not reasonable!

"Okay! I did see that guy Lin Yu. He came to me in a hurry and told me to come back and replace him for a while. As for where he went, I really don't know!"

In the face of Unohana's aggressive questioning, Bayunsai finally gave in, but her answers were half-true and half-false and vague.

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it! Anyway, you two have never spoken a word of truth!"

Unohana snorted softly, lifted the wine glass from the table, tilted her head back, and took a large gulp of wine. The wine dripped down her neck onto her clothes, and her expression was extremely sad, as resentful as it could be.

Looking at his best friend, Bayunsai felt that Unohana was having a miserable time. She and Saito were living happily in the real world, enjoying life to the fullest, while Unohana was confined to Soul Society, unable to go anywhere.

"Actually... it's okay to tell you... but... sigh..."

Thinking of this, Bayunzhai couldn't help but sigh softly. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She looked at Unohana with complicated eyes, as if she was struggling fiercely in her heart.

"Say it! Say it!"

Unohana is indeed a master who has cultivated the art of being cunning to the highest level. He has even mastered the 'tea ceremony' to perfection. With just a few words, he easily grasped Bayunzhai's weakness.

"Shifengyuan Chihiro and the others are back!"

Bayunsai lowered his voice, quickly leaned over, and whispered in Unohana's ear.

Unohana's hand shook violently, and the wine glass in her hand lost balance instantly. With a crisp "pa" sound, it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"Weren't they dead a long time ago? You must be joking!"

Unohana was stunned. Those Shihouin Chihiro guys had been dead for who knows how many years, and they were saying they were back! Could they be resurrecting from the dead?

This joke is so cold that it is not funny at all.

"Lin Yu went to hell and brought them back."

Bayunzhai, however, had a solemn expression on his face, showing no sign of joking at all.

"What? Lin Yu went to hell to get them back?"

Unohana felt her head buzzing, as if struck by a stick. The words sounded so casual, as if rescuing someone from hell was as easy as going out to buy groceries.

But what kind of place is hell? How could someone who had already died once be allowed to return to the human world after dying again? Or was Lin Yu just too bold to just say hello to hell and get him back?

"Believe it or not! Anyway, this is the truth. Chihiro and the others are back and staying in Karakura Town."

Bayunzhai told the truth, but Unohana didn't believe it.

"Then I'll go?"

What about trust between people?

"Believe it! I believe it!"

Bayunzhai was about to get up and leave, but Unohana was quick-witted and quickly reached out and pulled her back.

Bayunsai staggered and almost fell to the ground, but was pulled back steadily by Unohana.

"Lin Yu is with them right now, but you absolutely cannot tell the captain about this matter!"

Bayunzhai said this unhappily. After all, this matter was of great importance and no word of it could leak out.

"Don't worry, I still have some sense of propriety."

Hearing this, Unohana was stunned for a moment, then patted her chest in assurance. It was then that she suddenly realized her previous inference was completely wrong. She had originally thought that the captain and Lin Yu were secretly plotting something secret, but she hadn't expected that even the captain himself was kept in the dark about this matter.

In this way, Unohana was frightened by Bayunsai.

Unohana thought she had fooled Bayunzhai, but in fact, they were all smart people with thousands of years of experience, so it was hard to tell who could fool whom!
