"You're not a Quincy, who are you?" The young lady said in a cold voice, "Recently, a major event has occurred within the Quincy. No matter where a Quincy is, His Majesty will directly transmit this matter into their mind. Tell me what this matter is."
Holy crap!
This wasn't a naive girl after all?
Sure enough, I was too abrupt!
If anyone tells me girls are easy to trick again, I'll beat them to death.
"You... what are you talking about? Besides a Quincy, who else can use methods to control reishi?" Yamabuki's expression remained unchanged as he gently waved the Heilig Pfeil in his hand.
The young lady, however, had already condensed a bow and arrow in her hand, pointing the arrow at Yamabuki: "I ask you, what is the major event that recently happened to the Quincy?"
Yamabuki never expected the other party to be so vigilant.
How would I know what major event recently happened to the Quincy? Is this girl trying to trick me? Nothing has happened recently within the Quincy?
I'll take a gamble.
"You don't need to test me, nothing has happened recently to the Quincy..." Before Yamabuki could finish speaking, the Heilig Pfeil in the young lady's hand suddenly fired, directly piercing through Yamabuki's skull.
"You don't even know such an important matter, yet you dare to say you are a Quincy? That's simply a joke." The young lady coldly pointed the arrow in her hand at Saitō Furōfushi: "Although I don't know your identity, I invite you to die together."
Then, a Heilig Pfeil shot out. Saitō Furōfushi drew his Zanpakutō and sliced the Heilig Pfeil in half, which surprised the young lady slightly: "It seems you two came prepared."
Saitō Furōfushi flipped his Zanpakutō and pressed the hilt against his forehead, directly performing soul separation and returning to his Shinigami form. Yamabuki had already completed soul separation the moment his skull was pierced. Although the death of a Gigai does not cause damage to the spirit body, it still feels pain.
The young lady looked warily at the two people in front of her: a Zanpakutō, shihakushō, a Captain's haori, and a Hell Butterfly floating nearby.
"You are Shinigami! His Majesty's greatest enemies?" The young lady said coldly, "How dare you launch a sneak attack now, you're courting death."
Currently, both sides have limited knowledge of their enemies.
Shinigami don't recognize Quincy, and Quincy don't understand Shinigami.
Most Quincy believe that Shinigami are as weak as rabbits, and they can always win no matter how they fight, and that His Majesty is just making a fuss over nothing.
So when the young lady saw two Shinigami appear before her, she didn't take them seriously at all. She even thought of capturing these two Shinigami alive to curry favor with His Majesty.
However, Yamabuki said lightly, "Don't forget what we came here for: to capture them alive."
"Don't worry." Saitō Furōfushi used Shunpo to appear in front of the young lady. A burst of reishi erupted from under the young lady's feet, moving at an incredibly fast speed—it was the Quincy's unique footwork, Hirenkyaku.
However, unfortunately, the one who appeared before her was a Captain of the Gotei 13, completely incomparable to those small fry from before. Just as the young lady thought she was certain to deliver a fatal blow, Saitō Furōfushi had completely vanished from her sight.
"What?" The young lady was somewhat flustered. The next second, she felt a pain in her lower abdomen as a long blade directly pierced her body, and blood welled up from her mouth.
"Don't worry, I deliberately avoided your internal organs and vital points, so you won't die for a while. Our purpose in coming to the Human World this time is to capture them alive," Saitō Furōfushi said.
"You... you..."
Saitō Furōfushi pulled out the blade with a cold smile, and the intense pain caused the young lady to collapse onto the ground.
The surrounding servants and samurai, seeing the young lady attacked, all rushed forward with weapons. However, all they could see was that the two people who had come to ask the young lady to exorcise demons were already lying on the ground, lifeless.
And the young lady was being tormented by an unseen force.
So these people came to a conclusion.
"What is harming the young lady is not the power of ordinary people, but evil spirits!"
As soon as they thought of this, these ordinary people and samurai scattered, no one wanting to be entangled by evil spirits.
Yamabuki extended his hands and pressed them against the young lady's wound, activating Kaidō. In just a minute or two, the wound had completely healed. The young lady felt as if she were dreaming.
"Are you really Shinigami? Shinigami are actually this strong?" The young lady felt her worldview had been completely reshaped. In her impression, Shinigami were supposed to be a bunch of weak, defenseless rabbits, left to be slaughtered.
"You injured me, so why did you heal me? Do you want to gain my gratitude?" the young lady questioned.
"No, please don't misunderstand. I simply want you to live a little longer so I can get more information from you. Now, please tell me, what was the major event you just mentioned that happened within the Quincy?" Yamabuki asked.
The young lady snorted coldly and turned her face away: "I won't tell you."
"Don't be so arrogant. You're in our hands. Aren't you afraid I'll do something strange to you? A beautiful girl like you isn't common!" Yamabuki smiled, reaching out to gently touch her face.
"It's just a shell. It doesn't matter what you want to do to me. I will never betray His Majesty." The young lady shouted, "I just didn't expect you to use such despicable methods, pretending to be sick to get close to me."
Yamabuki pinched her little face; it was quite tender.
"I'm soft-hearted and don't want to be rough with girls. You'd best tell me everything you know. Otherwise..." Yamabuki pulled out a cloth bag from his embrace and gently opened it. Inside the cloth bag were all sorts of torture instruments.
Steel nails, small knives, nail clippers, iron chains—everything!
"Where did you get these things?" Saitō Furōfushi asked with a surprised expression.
"Shijima Chigiri gave them to me. He used to be an assassin, and sometimes, to get information from certain people, he would transform into an interrogator. Now, this set of tools is no longer needed, so he gave them to me before he left." Yamabuki looked at the young lady with a smile: "My patience is limited. You'd best cooperate with me obediently."
The young lady snorted coldly and turned her head away.
She was absolutely loyal to His Majesty.
How could such physical torment break her will?
Thinking of this, the young lady closed her eyes, allowing the other party to do whatever they wished.
"A tough nut to crack! I love tough nuts!" Yamabuki casually pulled out a twenty-centimeter-long steel nail from the torture tools and directly nailed the young lady's hand to the floor!
