Death: Captain Millennium

"You came back so soon. Didn't you find Kuryashiki and Asida?" Bayunzhai and Nilu asked Lin Yu who had returned.

"I found them both in the Great Hollow Forest, but they don't want to return to Soul Society." Lin Yu explained to Bayunzhai and the others why they didn't want to go back. "I've also met that Asido. He's quite capable, comparable to an ordinary captain. How about you two?"

"What's the matter? We are good sisters. You don't have to worry about us." Bayunzhai now began to favor Nilu.

"It seems that my worries are unnecessary. Bayunsai, do you want to continue wandering around in Hueco Mundo or come back to Soul Society with me?" Lin Yu was ready to return to Soul Society.

"Don't you want to stay in Hueco Mundo for a while?" Ni Lu really wanted Lin Yu to stay.

"I want to too, but I am the captain of the Gotei 13 after all. Captain-in-Chief Yamamoto will scold me if I am away from my post for a long time." Lin Yu looked helpless.

"You still remember that you are the captain. Your team affairs are handled by me and Ren'emon. Have you ever handled team affairs for a day? You go back by yourself. I still want to spend more time with sister Nilu." Bayunsai didn't want to go back now.

"Then I'll go back to Soul Society first. Honey, please come back soon. I will miss you." Lin Yu said gently, then opened the gate to the world. His figure instantly disappeared from the spot and returned to Soul Society.

Lin Yu sat alone in the captain's room. After thinking for a moment, he said to himself, "Another problem has been solved. The Hueco Mundo has been dealt with in advance, and there will be fewer obstacles to Aizen's problem. However, with my spiritual pressure perception and sealing ability, even complete hypnosis is useless to me. Let the rest of the minor fights go on. After all, it's easy for the Shinigami to become lazy after being in a peaceful era for a long time. If it weren't for Aizen's chaos in Soul Society, the strength of those captains, vice-captains, and chief officers would really be worrying. Fighting is the best way to improve strength. As long as I and the captain-in-chief are there to cover the bottom, Soul Society will not be in chaos."

Lin Yu, feeling dizzy for a while, decided to visit Captain Hikifune Kiryu. She was a formidable figure, having successfully advanced to Squad Zero thanks to her temporary spirit technique. Lin Yu knew nothing about spirits, so he decided to go and learn from her.

"Captain, Captain Lin Yu from the Seventh Division is here to visit." The soldier from the Twelfth Division informed Hikifune Kiryu who was doing research about Lin Yu's visit.

"Captain Lin Yu? My research here has just reached a critical moment, and I'm really busy. Little Hisari, please go and help me receive Captain Lin Yu. Remember to respect him. After all, he is our senior." Hikifune Kiryu earnestly admonished Hisari.

In the 12th Division's reception room, Lin Yu sat casually on a cushion, completely devoid of any image, holding a small, exquisite wine gourd in his hand, and leisurely sipping his wine. If it weren't for the large "seven" character on his captain's haori, anyone who saw this would probably mistake him for Kyoraku Shunsui.

At this moment, Hiyori gently pushed open the door of the reception room, and saw a man leisurely drinking wine.

"Is this the captain of the seventh division? He's probably a drunkard. The captain even said he's a senior and we should respect him more. Really..." This was Hiyori's first impression of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu looked at the newcomer, a childlike figure. He had golden hair tied in two pigtails, dark brown eyes, a pair of canine teeth, freckles on his face, and a colorful beaded hairpin in his left hairline. He wore slippers and a small, shinigami uniform, his Zanpakutō strapped to his back. He pondered, "Isn't this Saruaki Hiyori?"

Although Hiyori was dissatisfied with Lin Yu, she still smiled and greeted him out of basic courtesy: "I am the vice-captain of the 12th Division, Sarugaki Hiyori. I am very sorry, our captain is busy at the moment and cannot greet you in person, so I can only entertain you."

Lin Yu was slightly stunned, then smiled friendly. "Ah! It's Vice Captain Hiyori. What an honor. I'm Lin Yu from the Seventh Division. Please take care of me." He raised the wine jug in his hand and gestured to Hiyori, "Would you like to have a drink together?"

Hiyori thought to herself, "Although I don't like him very much, Captain Lin Yu seems quite easygoing and doesn't act like a captain. I think he should be easy to get along with. However, he's far from the image I imagined a senior to be..." She covered her face with her hands, smiled slightly, and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Captain Lin Yu. We have drinks here."

Then, Lin Yu and Hiyori fell into an awkward silence, looking at each other, not knowing where to start. They were both thinking about how to break the deadlock and start a pleasant conversation.

Just then, the sound of footsteps was heard. The two turned around and saw Hikifune Kiryu walking towards them quickly.

"Captain Lin Yu, sorry for the long wait. Is there anything you can teach my 12th Division?" Hikifune Kiryu asked with a smile.

Lin Yu looked at the beautiful busty lady in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's hard to imagine how she would become a fat girl after joining the Zero Division! However, the current Kiryuu Hikifune is indeed very beautiful and charming. He quickly said: "I don't dare to teach you, but I heard that Captain Hikifune is studying the technology of souls, so I came here to learn."

"Oh? I see." A hint of surprise flashed in Hikifune Kiryu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "So, Senior, you're talking about the Soul-Defining Technique, right?" "Yes, that's the Soul-Defining Technique." Lin Yu nodded. "I've always been interested in this area, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to learn more about it before."

Hikifune Kiryu smiled and said, "Actually, the technology of celestial spirits isn't anything mysterious. Its essence is to achieve all sorts of wondrous effects through the study and manipulation of spirits. For example, we can create celestial spirits with special abilities, or inject spirits into objects, giving them life and consciousness."

Lin Yu listened with great interest and asked impatiently, "How do we do it specifically?"

Hikifune Kiryu patiently explained, "This requires a deep understanding of the structure and characteristics of the soul, as well as mastering certain special techniques and methods. However, this requires long-term practice and accumulation."

Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully. This technology is worth learning. It sounds good.

"If you are interested, you can come and communicate with us often in the future." Hikifune Kiryu invited enthusiastically.

"Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful." Lin Yu replied with a smile.

Afterwards, the two chatted about some topics related to souls, and Lin Yu gained a lot.

Finally, Lin Yu stood up and said goodbye, leaving the 12th Division.

"Captain, I just heard you call him senior. He looks very young." Hiyori felt very strange when she heard Hikifune Kiryu addressing Lin Yu.

Hikifune Kiryu smiled slightly: "He is from the same generation as Captain Yamamoto. Do you think he is a senior?"

Hiyori's eyes widened in disbelief, "Huh? Then he's an old man too. How come he looks so young?"

Hikifune Kiryu shook his head. "He's not some old man. He's as proficient in advanced Kaido as Captain Unohana. Maintaining a youthful appearance is normal for them."

"But he's quite easy to get along with, at least not as rigid as Captain Yamamoto." Hiyori said while secretly looking at Hikifune Kiryu. She knew that she had just said something inappropriate, but she still wanted to express her opinion of Lin Yu.

"Hiyori, it's not good to say bad things about the captain behind his back." Hikifune Kiryu patted Hiyori's head gently, with a helpless smile on his face.

Hiyori curled her lips and said unconvincedly, "I know!" But she was thinking in her heart that Captain Yamamoto couldn't hear what she said anyway.

"You can go to Team 7 more often when you have nothing to do. Captain Lin Yu's wife is also an extraordinary person. It won't hurt to get to know her better." Hikifune Kiryu continued, trying to let Hiyori know more about the situation of other teams.

However, Hiyori shook her head and replied firmly: "Captain, why do you say that? I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay with you, Captain." Her eyes were full of dependence on Hikifune Kiryu, which moved people.

Hikifune Kiryu felt a warm feeling in his heart, and he touched Hiyori's head with a smile, saying with emotion: "What a silly girl..."
