Death: Captain Millennium

A tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated Urahara's shop. Ichigo and his companions had waited anxiously for an entire night, but Uryuu never returned. With each passing moment, their hearts grew heavier, and every possible possibility played out in their minds.

"Yijigu, you don't have to worry too much, Yulong will definitely be fine."

Urahara Kisuke remained nonchalant and unconcerned, seemingly fully prepared for the situation. In reality, only he knew that the Soul Hunters' true target wasn't Ichigo and the others, but the Shinigami from Soul Society.

Even if Yulong unfortunately falls into the hands of the enemy, they will most likely not kill him, because to these cunning enemies, Yulong is just an attractive bait to lure the god of death.

"Urahara-san! What should I do to use my Bankai again?"

Ichigo Kurosaki was in a terrible state of mind, his feelings flooding with self-blame and regret. If he hadn't been unable to unleash his Bankai at that crucial moment, Uryu might not have mysteriously disappeared, and the situation wouldn't have deteriorated to such an unmanageable level.

"I'm sorry! Ichigoku, as for how to successfully use your Bankai again, you'll have to rely on yourself to figure it out and break through. I really can't help you."

Faced with Ichigo's almost desperate questioning, Urahara Kisuke put away his usual relaxed smile and his expression became serious. Although Urahara Kisuke has the ability to help others quickly comprehend Bankai, he cannot directly teach anyone how to use Bankai.

Just when Ichigo and his friends could no longer hold back and were about to go out to look for Ichigo, the door of Urahara's shop was pushed open.

Ishida Uryu is back!

"Yulong! Where have you been? We were all worried sick!"

Orihime's pretty face was filled with joy at this moment, and the heavy haze that had been accumulating in her heart instantly dissipated without a trace with the appearance of Uryuu.

"I'm so sorry to have caused you so much worry. Last night, I set out on a journey alone to seek help, but halfway through, I fainted on the side of the road due to exhaustion. Luckily, a kind passerby spotted me while I was unconscious, rescued me, and took me home to take good care of me. When I woke up this morning, I didn't dare to delay even a moment and immediately rushed back, and that's how I got here."

Yu Long looked at everyone's concerned eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart, but at the same time he felt a little guilty. He took a deep breath, calmed himself and said, at this point, Yu Long unconsciously lowered his head, as if trying to hide something.

In fact, Uryū did not tell the whole truth. The person who saved him was not an ordinary passerby, but Soma Noyoshi, who had a close relationship with them.

As for why he had concealed this matter, even Yulong himself couldn't explain it for the moment. Perhaps it was out of some concern, or perhaps he was afraid of causing more unexpected trouble... In short, this secret was buried deep in his heart for the time being.

"It's all right! It's all right!"

Orihime clasped her hands together in front of her chest, repeating these words over and over again, her face filled with joy, because she was genuinely happy and relieved to see Uryuu return safely.

"We've been up all night, everyone should go back and have a good rest."

Everyone, having endured a full night, now looked exhausted and listless. Yu Long looked at his companions with distress. His voice, though weak, was filled with concern.

Hearing this, Orihime yawned involuntarily, and her eyes began to become hazy. Yes, she was really very sleepy. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: go home, lie down on the bed and have a good sleep.

"Hey! Yulong, why don't you go home with us?"

Ichigo and the others stood up and were about to leave when they suddenly noticed that Uryu was still sitting there quietly, not moving at all, so they asked curiously.

"Oh, that... I still have some injuries that need to be treated, so I'd like to ask Urahara-san for help with the treatment. You don't have to wait for me, go back first."

In response to Ichigo's question, Uryu hesitated for a moment, then quickly reacted and made up an excuse. He then waved to Ichigo and the others, signaling them to return quickly.

Urahara Kisuke folded his arms across his chest, an amused smile on his face as he stared intently at Ishida Uryu. His shrewd eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and he certainly wouldn't be easily fooled by Ishida Uryu's words.

His intuition told him that this seemingly calm boy must be hiding some unknown secret in his heart, and it seemed that he didn't want Kurosaki Ichigo and others to know this secret, so Ishida Uryu wanted to avoid everyone and ask him for advice alone.

"Manager Urahara, can you use this Reiatsu to track down its owner?"

At this moment, Ishida Uryu carefully pulled out a small, exquisite bottle from his bosom and handed it to Urahara Kisuke. The bottle emitted a faint spiritual light, clearly containing some special spirit particles.

This was what Yu Long had secretly collected when Soma Yoshino left. At that time, the other party left suddenly, leaving him alone in a daze. After a long time, he came back to his senses as if waking from a dream.

The look of Soma Yoshino when he left kept flashing through his mind. It was an expression full of relief, as if he was no longer attached to anything in the world.

Although Ishida Uryu and Soma Yoshino had only met a few times, at that moment, he clearly felt an indescribable soul fusion between the two.

This strange connection made him worry about the other party's safety, and he didn't want to see Soma Yoshino encounter an accident. Therefore, he decided to take the risk to collect Soma Yoshino's remaining spiritual pressure and seek help from the knowledgeable Urahara Kisuke.

Kisuke Urahara clearly sensed that the spiritual pressure in the vial came from a soul hunter, but he didn't want to delve into the reasons.

"It's not a difficult thing. Just sit here and wait for me."

After saying that, he got up and went to the laboratory.

Soon, Urahara Kisuke handed Uryu a cell phone-like device. This device, like the Shinigami's messenger, could detect nearby spiritual pressure fluctuations, but it was specifically developed for the spiritual pressure Uryu had given him.

"Keisei 200,000 yen!"

When Uryu was marveling at Urahara Kisuke's superb scientific level, he was almost choked to death by his sudden words.

"Why don't you go and grab it!"

Yulong almost overturned the table. Just this one thing cost 200,000 yen.

"Small shops also need to make a profit. Could it be that Ishida-san can't afford this money?"

Of course, Urahara Kisuke would not miss the opportunity to make a fortune and offered a sky-high price.

"you are vicious!"

Uryu glared at Urahara Kisuke fiercely, took out his credit card from his bag and handed it to the black-hearted businessman with a painful look on his face.
