Chapter 743: Schrodinger's Fierce Battle of Love
Chapter 743: Schrodinger's Fierce Battle of Love
"There was no other choice. The Gotei 13 is forming a special task force for Hueco Mundo, and it was a sudden decision.
And before that, I've always had other Shinigami with me, so contacting you alone wasn't an easy task."
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Heribel fell silent for a moment, as if finally accepting his excuse. Then, glancing at Suibee, who was standing beside Yecheng, she asked, "Then what about this Shinigami? Should we kill him?"
Hearing the other party's threat to eliminate him, Captain A, despite his small chest, had a temper that was anything but small. He drew his Zanpakutou from his waist and declared, "I'd like to see who kills whom!"
"Calm down, calm down. This is Captain Suibee, the one I trust the most in the Gotei 13. I can assure you with my life that she will never reveal what happens here.
And you, Heribel, are also one of my dearest friends. I trust you as well, otherwise, I wouldn't have asked to meet you as soon as I arrived in Hueco Mundo."
Listening to Yecheng's nonsense... no, his heartfelt words, both Suibee and Heribel had mixed expressions.
What surprised Yecheng was that of the two, it was Suibee, with her typically straightforward personality, who put down her sword first.
Although Captain A definitely didn't believe Yecheng's previous words, the fact that Yecheng brought her alone to meet Heribel indicated that he truly trusted her.
There were so many captains in the Gotei 13, yet he specifically chose her, which meant that, to some extent, Yecheng highly trusted her.
Given this, Suibee decided to reluctantly give him some face. After all, she was the one he trusted the most in the Gotei 13.
What Suibee, who was deeply moved, didn't know was that Yecheng's choice to bring her along to meet Heribel was actually out of necessity.
Ever since Heribel agreed to help him, she became an ally.
However, her "traitor" status couldn't be revealed to others; otherwise, she would be eliminated by Barragan in no time. Therefore, the fewer people who knew, the better.
The question then arose: if Barragan, the boss, was defeated in the future, how would Heribel, who was on the enemy's side, be cleared of her name?
Could they claim that she had been a spy for them all along, and would there be evidence or witnesses to support this?
Yecheng's word alone would not be enough.
What? You say there's also Ichimaru Gin? Don't joke around. This guy is even harder to clear than Heribel. How could he be a witness to prove Heribel's allegiance?
Therefore, Yecheng believed that besides himself, there had to be at least one more person who knew the truth.
The Commander-General had too many prejudices against the Arrancar, and he might not agree to Heribel's assistance. That's why Yecheng hadn't mentioned it.
This special task force to Hueco Mundo was a perfect opportunity.
Unfortunately, as soon as they arrived in Hueco Mundo, captains like Kensei Zekkai, with their independent natures, chose to go their separate ways.
Hirasen Tao, as a vice-captain, lacked the necessary stature, so in the end, the only one left was Captain Suibee...
The reality was not that Yecheng chose Suibee, but rather, he had no choice.
As the captain of the Second Division, Suibee was not only in charge of criminal investigation but also highly trusted by the Commander-General. Her testimony would be the best proof.
However, Yecheng was also aware that his relationship with Captain Suibee was rather ordinary, even a bit strained.
Initially, he thought the situation might fall apart, but to his surprise, the tsundere captain was more agreeable than Heribel.
Because of the high-level spy Tia Heribel, Night City and Suibee quickly learned the locations of the other Espada's palaces from her.
The Illusory Night Palace, where Barragan was stationed, was vast, and each Espada had their own palace. Hollows outside the Espada also had their own residences according to their different ranks.
Since they would eventually have to face off in the final battle, Night City naturally didn't plan to make this trip to Hueco Mundo a waste.
Looking at the route map provided by Heribel, Night City and Suibee quickly brought along Hirasen Tao and Daizen Jin, heading towards the closest Espada's palace—the ninth Espada, Yaronilo's palace.
On the other side, after parting ways with Night City and the others, Heribel and her three subordinates also looked deep in thought.
Sunden, Mira, and Apache were deep in thought because they never imagined that Heribel, whom they admired, would cooperate with the Shinigami.
As for Heribel's own thoughts, to be honest, even she didn't quite understand why she felt this way.
Ever since she saw Suibee by Night City's side, Heribel had been in a state of unease.
At first, she thought this uneasiness might be due to her distrust of the other party.
But later, Heribel realized that it wasn't the case at all!
Instead of worrying about whether the other party would betray them, Heribel's mind was filled with thoughts about the Shinigami named Suibee, her relationship with Night City, and the nature of their connection.
Night City had said that Suibee was his most trusted person, which meant she was also very important to him.
Thinking about it, if it wasn't someone he trusted deeply, why would Night City bring her to meet Heribel, just as she had brought Sunden and the others to meet Night City?
Night City said that Suibee was his close friend, so was she also a close friend to him? Could her only close friend be taken away by someone else?
If the other party wanted to take away her only close friend, what should Heribel do?
To be honest, as she had never experienced such a situation, Heribel was a bit flustered. She was worried that her first-ever friend might be taken away.
After hearing various stories from Ise Uzuki, Heribel realized that even people of different races could become friends, or even lovers.
Heribel didn't know if one could have many friends, but currently, her only friend was Night City. So when she saw Suibee by Night City's side, Heribel instinctively felt a sense of discomfort! (Sunden and the others were subordinates and family, not friends, so Night City was the first and only friend!)
However, just as Heribel was still troubled by this, Night City's communication came through again.
This time, Night City contacted Heribel to explain about Suibee. After all, Night City thought that it would be a pity if Heribel developed a grudge because of what had just happened, especially since they had worked hard to cultivate a high-ranking double agent.
After learning that Night City intentionally brought Suibee to meet her, and that her true purpose was to help Heribel clear her name later, Heribel's mood instantly brightened!
Indeed, Heribel was Night City's true close friend, and that Shinigami Suibee was merely a tool.
Heribel had been considering whether to find an opportunity to harm Suibee, but now she decided to hold back for the time being, not wanting to disappoint her close friend's good intentions.
