Death: Captain Millennium

In the captain's office of Squad 7, Lin Yu, Saito, and Shunsui were enjoying a drink, while Bayunsai sat at her desk, busy with team affairs. As she worked diligently, she muttered to herself, "Really? Are you the captain or am I? And you're drinking again."

Ever since Lin Yu returned to captain the 7th Division, Chun Shui had been frequenting the squad, drinking with Saito. Now, they'd even dragged Lin Yu into their group. The three of them shared a common disposition, spending their days doing nothing but drinking. Even worse, Lin Yu had actually dumped all the team duties on himself, euphemistically calling it "man handles the outside affairs, woman handles the inside affairs."

"Damn it! Just wait and see how I'll deal with you tonight!" Bayunzhai gnashed her teeth in anger, nearly snapping the pen in her hand. However, her protests went unnoticed, as the three men continued to drink.

Just then, Ren'emon pushed open the door and entered the captain's office. He took in the scene before him and sighed. He was already accustomed to such scenes. It seemed the captain's office of Squad 7 had practically become a small izakaya.

"Captain, the captain sent someone to tell you to go to the First Division," Ren'emon reported to Lin Yu. After hearing this, Lin Yu put down his wine glass and asked, "Oh? Master Shan wanted to see me? Did he say what it was about?" Then, he picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"The person who delivered the message didn't tell you the specific mission, he just asked you to go over quickly."

"Ah, ah, ah! Saito, you and Shunsui continue drinking. Master Shan wants to summon me for something, so I'll be leaving first."

On his way to the First Division, Lin Yu kept sorting out the events of this time period, comparing them to what he remembered. "This is difficult! When I first watched Bleach, I focused on the main storyline. I didn't read the flashbacks or the side stories in detail, so my memory of what exactly happened at this point is a bit fuzzy. Never mind, I'll know when I see Mr. Shan. A reminder should help me recall the general plot."

After Lin Yu walked into the office, he saw the captain sitting behind the desk. He walked quickly to the captain and said straight to the point: "Captain, I'm here. Is there anything you want me to take care of?"

The captain looked at Lin Yu who had come over, put down the pen in his hand, motioned him to sit down, and then replied: "Sit down first, there is something that I really need you to take care of."

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled after hearing what the captain said. He knew that if it was just a general matter, the captain would usually not send someone to see him personally. So he asked, "Is there something difficult?"

The captain smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not a particularly difficult matter, it's just that your Zanpakutō is just able to handle it."

"This matter concerns the Kuchiki family. Captain Kuchiki has a very talented son-in-law who has performed very well in many missions to suppress rebellious Shinigami. He has now learned Bankai. His name is Kuchiki Hibiki and he currently serves as the third officer in the Sixth Division. I intend to have him join the First Division as the captain of the special forces. However, there is a problem with his Zanpakutō. It will involuntarily affect the user's mind. In order to prevent him from being affected by his Zanpakutō and going astray, Captain Kuchiki has tried many methods but has been unable to solve the problem. So he came to me to ask if there is a solution."

After hearing the captain's story, Lin Yu roughly thought about the plot.

"So that's what it is. Kuchiki Hibiki's Zanpakutō, Muramasa, does have the power to bewitch people. I remember that this guy was forced to turn evil after being tricked into a fight. He killed the guards and escaped from prison. In the end, he was sealed by Kuchiki Ginrin and Sanye. After he was finally unsealed, he was killed by Kuchiki Byakuya. What a pity. He was a pretty good fighter after all."

Lin Yu thought to himself, feeling it was a pity for Kuchiki Xianghe. If he could be properly guided, perhaps he could become a powerful god of death. Fortunately, it was still early, and Kuchiki Xianghe had not yet rebelled. He could still save this misguided young man.

At this time, the captain interrupted Lin Yu who was lost in thought, "I asked you to come because your Zanpakutō has the power of sealing. I want you to go to the Kuchiki family to solve this problem, teach Kuchiki Hibiki, and reshape his mind."

Lin Yu listened to the captain's words and nodded, indicating that he understood the importance of the mission. He knew that his Zanpakutō had the ability to seal and could help Kuchiki Hibiki break free from Muramasa's control. Moreover, he was confident that he could complete the mission.

Lin Yu didn't say anything more. He immediately stood up and said to the captain: "I understand. Then I will go to the Xiumu family to visit the head of the Yinling family." After that, he turned and left the captain's office, preparing to go to the Xiumu family.

Along the way, Lin Yu was thinking about how to communicate with Kuchiki Hibiki. It was easy to seal his Zanpakuto, but what should he do to teach him? Should he beat him up?

Not long after, Lin Yu arrived at the Xiumu family and requested to see the head of the family, Xiumu Yinling. After some twists and turns, he finally met Xiumu Yinling.

"I wonder why Captain Lin Yu has come to my Kuchiki household?" Kuchiki Ginling was extremely nervous about Lin Yu's arrival. Even though he was a noble from Soul Society, he didn't want to provoke him. The younger generation of Shinigami might not know this, but he knew full well that this captain was known as the strongest Shinigami second only to Captain-General Yamamoto. He didn't know why he came to the Kuchiki household. If anyone from the Kuchiki household provoked him, he would be in trouble. He would suffer the consequences of being hacked to death by him.

Lin Yu frowned as he watched Xiu Mu Yin Ling, who was terrified of him, and a wave of doubt welled up in his heart. He carefully recalled his own words and actions, finding that he hadn't done anything extreme or terrifying. Did he really come across as a villain? Thinking of this, Lin Yu's heart sank.

"Master Kuchiki, I was entrusted by Captain Yamamoto to handle the matter of Xianghe." Lin Yu decided to get straight to the point and state his purpose directly.

Hearing this, Xiumu Yinling's eyes visibly relaxed, a look of relief on his face. He quickly said respectfully, "I see. Captain Lin Yu, please come in." Yinling then led Lin Yu to the reception room and instructed the Grim Reaper beside him, "Tell Xianghe to come see me immediately."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the Grim Reaper did not dare to delay and left quickly.

After the Grim Reaper left, Yin Ling smiled and said to Lin Yu, "Captain Lin Yu, please have some tea."

Lin Yu took the teacup, took a sip, then put the cup down and said to Xiumu Yinling with a smile: "Master Xiumu, there is something I wanted to ask you when I came in."

Xiumu Yinling nodded slightly, indicating that she was willing to listen.

Lin Yu continued, "Before I told him my purpose, the head of the Xiumu family seemed a little afraid of me. I think I am a handsome guy, and I don't look fierce or ferocious. Or did I do something scary?" After saying that, he did not forget to touch his face narcissistically.

Xiumu Yinling was stunned for a moment, then laughed and explained, "Captain Lin Yu misunderstood. I just heard about the war a thousand years ago. Captain Lin Yu killed those Quincies like chickens. Seeing you visit alone, I feel uneasy."

"Ah! I only killed the Quincy, I have never killed a Grim Reaper." Lin Yu felt that he was far off the mark. Fortunately, the young Grim Reapers nowadays did not know about his deeds.

The atmosphere was a little awkward...
