Chapter 741: Yecheng: My Informant in Hueco Mundo
Chapter 741: Yecheng: My Informant in Hueco Mundo
After leaving those words, Suibee didn't even turn back.
For a moment, Yecheng didn't even react, unsure if she had just mocked him or genuinely tried to encourage him.
But he soon realized it was likely the former, given their relationship and Suibee's personality; comforting others was not something she would do.
Moreover, Yecheng knew that Suibee was a pure fujoshi, especially fond of Shihouin Yoruichi. So, her previous words were undoubtedly a ruthless mockery.
Back at the Fifth Division barracks, Yecheng, as the vice-captain, informed Hirasen Tao of the outcome of the captain's meeting.
"I'm sorry, Tao. This time, I've dragged you into it. If I had known Captain Kyougaku would be so dishonorable, I should have sold him out first."
Being a slacker himself, Yecheng naturally assumed that Hirasen Tao wouldn't enjoy business trips and overtime.
Unfortunately, on this special task force, vice-captains were required to accompany their captains. In Yecheng's view, Hirasen Tao was undeniably dragged down by him.
Yecheng was also aware that Hirasen Tao was a huge fan of Barragan. What if they ran into him in Hueco Mundo? Would his capable vice-captain be able to recover from such a blow?
Although, due to Yecheng's interference, Hirasen Tao seemed less like a die-hard fan of Barragan compared to the original storyline, and she didn't seem depressed about being stabbed before leaving.
But many things were hard to predict. As the saying goes, you never know what might happen.
Yecheng attributed his current happiness as a captain to the efficiency of his little secretary.
Hirasen Tao handled almost 99.9% of the Fifth Division's work, leaving only 0.1% for Yecheng. This was in stark contrast to the Tenth Division, where Kyouraku Shunsui and Matsumoto Rangiku shared the workload.
Of course, this wasn't a case of them exploiting child labor; they merely gave the younger generation more opportunities to learn and grow.
Hirasen Tao, unaware that her captain had already started brainstorming, took charge and began organizing the division's tasks in their absence to prevent any chaos.
Yecheng felt guilty for burdening Hirasen Tao, unaware that the young woman was secretly thrilled.
She had heard that Matsumoto Rangiku often accompanied Yecheng on missions to the human world.
Hirasen Tao had always envied this, as she was Yecheng's vice-captain but never had such opportunities.
After waiting for so long, she finally got her chance! Although this mission was to Hueco Mundo instead of the human world, and they were accompanied by other captains and vice-captains, it was still a good start.
As long as she got this opportunity, there would surely be more in the future.
Hirasen Tao learned that this mission to Hueco Mundo was due to Captain Kyougaku, and she felt it necessary to send him a fine bottle of wine afterward.
Three days later, the Research and Development Division finally completed the device to open the Black Cavity, allowing Yecheng and his team to successfully reach Hueco Mundo.
Compared to the technologically advanced human world and the Soul Society, which retained its cultural traditions from the Heian period, Hueco Mundo's environment gave off a desolate first impression.
The barren landscape resembled a white desert, with quartz-like dead trees scattered everywhere. It was perpetually night, and the moon was in the opposite direction from the human world, making it a truly desolate place.
Despite the desolate environment, Hueco Mundo had its advantages.
The concentration of spiritual particles in the atmosphere was much higher than in the human world and Soul Society, allowing the Hollows to gain ample energy from breathing and significantly enhancing the abilities of Shinigami, Hollows, and Exorcists.
It seems that the will of the world itself is quite fair. The living environment in Gensei is the best, but the spiritual particle concentration is the lowest. The Soul Society has a moderate living environment and a moderate spiritual particle concentration.
Although Hueco Mundo has the worst living environment, its spiritual particle concentration is the highest among the three.
Despite its desolate state, Hueco Mundo is incredibly vast, and within it, one cannot discern direction except through spiritual power.
Upon arriving in this unknown region, the members of the Special Task Force should ideally stick together for safety.
However, as soon as they reached Hueco Mundo, Kensei Zekkai, carrying his sword and accompanied by the pink-haired lolita, expressed his desire to hunt alone and promptly left without hesitation.
Although he despised Kensei Zekkai for his muscle-headedness, Neigan Li also wanted to find experimental subjects in Hueco Mundo, so he chose to leave alone as well.
Kyouraku Shunsui had intended to give Yecheng some face, but after witnessing Kensei Zekkai and Neigan Li's departures, the proud head of the Kyouraku family also apologized to Yecheng and then left with Renji.
Seeing Kensei and the others depart on their own, Suibee, who always adhered to discipline, was on the verge of exploding with anger.
The Commander had arranged for multiple captains and vice-captains to form a team for their safety, but now, as soon as they arrived in Hueco Mundo, they were going their separate ways. What was the point of this if they were just going to scatter like sand? Suibee had initially thought that Yecheng was the only unreliable one, but now, it seemed that every damn member of this Special Task Force was a problematic Shinigami.
The one she had considered the most unreliable was now the only one who remained.
"Now you understand why the Commander wanted me to be the captain of the Special Task Force, and I refused, right?
Being the captain of this team is utterly meaningless; it's just a setup to take the fall. And you're rushing to take on that burden willingly."
Before their departure, the Commander had intended to appoint Yecheng as the captain, but after seeing the kind of teammates he would have, Yecheng resolutely declined.
At the time, Suibee believed that Yecheng's personality was unsuitable for leading a group, so she stepped forward and took on the heavy responsibility (or rather, the big pot).
"There's no need to be so conflicted. Take a step back and consider that with Hueco Mundo being so vast, splitting up might not be a bad idea.
Moreover, everyone here is capable and not easily killed. If they can create enough chaos to attract Barragan's attention and help us eliminate a few Espada, it'll be a huge help."
With the situation as it was, what else could Suibee do but reluctantly accept Yecheng's words?
"So, what should we do next? With only four of us left, even gathering intelligence will be difficult, won't it?"
In response to Suibee's natural retort, Yecheng couldn't help but wear a playful expression. "Captain Suibee, aren't you the captain of this Special Task Force? Shouldn't you be the one to devise the plan?"
Suibee glanced at Yecheng's expression and knew that the bastard was clearly mocking her.
The proud A-ranked girl turned her head away and kicked the fat vice-captain beside her, deciding on the spot to go solo as well.
Suibee felt that if she continued to work with Yecheng, she would eventually be driven to her death by his antics. She figured it would be better to go it alone.
Upon seeing that A-ranked girl was completely unaffected by his teasing, Yecheng assumed a serious expression and said, "Actually, I have an insider in Hueco Mundo. Our goal from now on is to eliminate as many Espada, the powerhouses of Hueco Mundo, as possible!"
