Death: Captain Millennium

Karakura Town

Ginjo Kūgo was tied up and thrown into the corner of the room, helpless and pitiful like a lamb to be slaughtered. Meanwhile, Lin Yu, Bayunsai, Saito, and Hiyori were feasting on their delicious food. They chatted in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, completely oblivious to Ginjo Kūgo's longing gaze.

However, at this moment, Ginjo Kūgo's stomach suddenly made a loud "gurgling" sound, as if protesting his hunger. The sound was particularly clear in the quiet room, attracting everyone's attention. Lin Yu and others stopped what they were doing and looked at Ginjo Kūgo, their faces showing expressions of surprise and confusion.

Ginjo Kūgo's face flushed crimson, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, trying to hide his embarrassment. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it! How could I be so useless?" He struggled to control his urges, praying that no one would notice his abnormality. But his wish was clearly in vain.

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he teased: "Oh, it seems that our guests are hungry too. Do you want to come over and eat something together?" As he said that, he deliberately picked up a piece of food and shook it in front of Ginjo Kūgo.

Ginjo Kūgo's eyes widened as he stared at Lin Yu angrily, gritting his teeth and saying, "You bastards, you actually tied me up here! When I'm free, I won't let you go!" His voice was filled with resentment, but it couldn't hide the fear deep in his heart. After all, he was just a prisoner now, powerless to resist.

Ginjo Kūgo, who had just been captured, remained silent no matter what Lin Yu said. Lin Yu did not indulge him and simply threw him into the corner and began to enjoy the food. But people still could not resist the temptation and started to speak after being stimulated by something.

Ginjo Kūgo finally gave in, "I want to eat ramen!"

Lin Yu looked at his miserable appearance, a playful smile appeared on his lips, and he said slowly: "You were so stubborn just now, why are you willing to speak now? If you want to eat ramen, of course it's fine, but the premise is that you have to answer everything I ask you truthfully, otherwise... hehe, I will chop you into ramen without mercy!"

Hearing such ridiculous teasing, Ginjō Kūgo couldn't laugh at all. He stared wide-eyed, carefully examining the man before him—the one wearing the haori and representing the captain of the Gotei 13.

In his mind, weren't captains always serious and dignified figures like Ukitake Jushiro? And this guy before him was nothing short of a complete idiot! If it weren't for the powerful spiritual pressure he'd unleashed when he'd been chasing him, even if the king of heaven had stood before him, he wouldn't have believed this guy was a captain.

Lin Yu didn't bother to pay attention to Ginjo Kūgo's thoughts at the moment. He untied the bonds on him, handed him a bowl of steaming ramen, and said with a smile, "Eat it. Don't worry, I still respect human rights and treat prisoners kindly." After that, he sat back in his chair and waited quietly for Ginjo Kūgo's reaction.

Ginjo Kūgo looked at the steaming ramen in front of him, was silent for a while, and then started eating it in big mouthfuls. After finishing the ramen, he burped happily.

Seeing that Ginjo Kūgo had finished his ramen, Lin Yu spoke, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lin Yu, Captain of the 7th Division of the Soul Society's Gotei 13. Now please tell me why you betrayed Soul Society."

Ginjo Kūgo gave a bitter smile: "Captain Lin Yu, what you saw before was the truth. The reason why I lost contact with Soul Society was because I was obstructed by the Shinigami from the Tsunayashiro family. I absolutely did not betray." His expression seemed very helpless, as if he had been wronged.

However, Lin Yu was clearly dissatisfied with this answer. He frowned and said in a serious tone, "Ginjo Kūgo, Tsunayashiro Tokinada's obstruction was indeed a factor, but why did you previously break away from Soul Society's control and establish the Fullbring Organization? How do you explain this?"

Facing Lin Yu's questioning, Ginjo Kūgo seemed a little agitated. He raised his voice and said, "Since Soul Society has appointed me as the acting Shinigami, why do they still use the acting certificate to monitor me? This is obviously a lack of trust in me!" His eyes revealed a hint of anger and dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. He thought Ginjo Kūgo's words were ridiculous. He shook his head and said sarcastically, "We're keeping tabs on you for your own good. After this incident, you should understand how weak you are. With your insignificant strength, if the Soul Society can't track your whereabouts, you probably won't even know how you died. As for your privacy, the Soul Society has no interest in it at all. We simply don't want the power of the Shinigami to leak out." After saying this, Lin Yu looked at Ginjo Kūgo with disdain, his eyes filled with disdain.

Lin Yu's eyes were like lightning as he stared at Ginjo Kūgo, his gaze filled with majesty and indifference. This invisible pressure caused Ginjo Kūgo to feel a chill running down his spine, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching him from behind.

"Also, you attacked the Shinigami who came to investigate your situation later. You can't deny this. As a substitute Shinigami, attacking a Shinigami is a crime that constitutes rebellion. How do you explain it?" Lin Yu's voice was low and stern, like a sharp sword piercing Ginjo Kūgo's heart.

Ginjo Kūgo opened his mouth, but found himself unable to find any reason to refute it. The facts were before him: he had indeed attacked the Shinigami who came to investigate him. This was an irrefutable fact, and no matter how he tried to defend himself, it seemed pale and powerless.

For a moment, the air was filled with tension, as if time had frozen. Ginjo Kūgo fell silent, a look of despair on his face. He knew he wouldn't be able to escape the blame this time.

After a long moment, Ginjo Kūgo finally broke the silence, his voice trembling slightly: "Captain Lin Yu, what kind of punishment will Soul Society give me?" His eyes revealed a hint of fear and uneasiness, as if he was full of worries about the future.

Lin Yu frowned, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes. He didn't directly answer Ginjo Kūgo's question. Instead, he slowly said, "I'm only here to arrest you and bring you back to Soul Society. As for your ultimate charge and punishment, I don't know, and I don't want to be involved."

After saying this, Lin Yu's eyes grew deep. He had to uphold the Soul Society's stance and principles. Even when facing someone like Ginjo Kūgo, he couldn't waver in the slightest. Only in this way could he maintain the order and dignity of Soul Society.

Perhaps from other perspectives, there is nothing wrong with Ginjo Kūgo's actions, but from the perspective of Soul Society, he has violated the principles of Soul Society.

Lin Yu is the god of death in Soul Society!

"Let's go! Follow me back to Soul Society." After saying that, Lin Yu used his Zanpakutō to open the gate to the Soul Society. "Wife, Saito, and Hiyori, see you next time. I'm going back first!"

"Captain, you don't have to stay anymore..." Before Hiyori could finish her words, Lin Yu took Ginjo Kūgo into the gate.
