Greeting people with a smile was always well-received unless the receivers had some feud or had bad-intentions against the greeter. Even if the members of the Visored were not very familiar with Mazuru back then when they were still in Soul Society, facing Mazuru's initiative to greet them, they all also greeted him positively.
Of course, there were also some different people in the Visored, such as a rebellious little girl like Hiyori, "Let's not talk about other things, but you are very brave, I don't even know how you broke through the barrier."
Hachigen was also very curious about this issue, he only just realized the fluctuations in the outer barrier when Mazuru broke right in here, which was really outrageous in his cognition.
Mazuru explained with a smile, "It is not too difficult to break through the enchantment erected here. A Kidō enchantment, in the final analysis, are all cast with the help of spiritual power, and I only need to erode part of the spiritual power floating on the surface, and there will naturally be a gap in the enchantment, and through this gap, I easily entered."
He was right.
But whether it was Hachigen or the rest of the Visored who had some understanding of the barriers, they were full of complaints. It was easy to say, but it was not so easy to do it because the enchantment always acts a whole, even if part of it was eroded, the rest of the spiritual power in the barrier will quickly replenish the gap, but Mazuru entered using this method, so it was hard for them to say anything against it.
Immediately, it was Shinji who picked up the conversation, "Mazuru-kun, is it not good enough for you to do your captain duties in Soul Society, what are you doing here?"
"Two things." Mazuru replied, "The first thing was to know your whereabouts from Urahara Kisuke because I learned that Kurosaki Ichigo is here, so I came to see the situation, and the second thing is to come to see you who people used to be captains and vice-captains, especially with my old friend among you."
While Mazuru was talking, he looked at another barrier on the other side, where there were two figures fighting, one was Ichigo, and the other was Lisa.
At this moment, the faces of the two of them were covered by masks, and they were fighting with the help of hollow power.
"This is the power after hollowfication?"
When Shinji heard the term "hollowfication", his expression became a bit complicated. It was certainly a good thing to become a Visored and possess the power of hollows, and become stronger, but there should be a prerequisite for all of this, that was, transform voluntarily.
If they could, they'd rather stay in the Soul Society than become a Visored and then hide in the world of living like a rat in the gutter for a hundred years.
After a long time, Shinji said to Mazuru with a complicated expression, "Kisuke really trusts you and has told you everything."
"Of course, Kisuke and Yoruichi are my dear friends. We are like brothers and sisters." Mazuru said with some complacency.
At this moment, violent reiatsu fluctuations suddenly came from the side.
Shinji and the others ignored Mazuru, and quickly looked over there, and discovered that it was Ichigo, who was fighting with the power of his hollow, was about to lose control. They all took action immediately and suppressed Ichigo.
As Ichigo was suppressed, Lisa, who was previously fighting against Ichigo, was free.
She also found that there was one more person present. After seeing that it was Mazuru, she was taken aback for a moment, and then walked up to Mazuru normally, "Why are you here?"
After all, like Hiyori, there were exceptions and there were people who were familiar with Mazuru.
Among the Visored, Mazuru still has an acquaintance that was Lisa.
Back then, because of Nanao, Mazuru often went in and out of Eighth Division, and Lisa and Nanao were like sisters, so she was very familiar with Mazuru.
"Because of the arrancars, the Soul Society sent me to stay here for a while. I learned about your whereabouts from Urahara, so I came to see you."
Mazuru responded.
Shinji and others who had just settled Ichigo came to this side, and after hearing this, they understood why Mazuru came to the world of living.
If the word "hollowfication" made them feel complicated before, then the word "Arrancar" made them sincerely angry and made them immediately think of Aizen, the culprit who made them like this.
There was no doubt that arrancars were also the work of Aizen.
In order to save Ichigo earlier, Shinji fought against an arrancar named Yammy, and finally succeeded in driving him back to Hueco Mundo. In the process, he also saw the power of the arrancar.
If the masks were to give hollow powers to the shinigami, then the arrancar were hollows who were given shinigami powers.
Combined with the time gap between the birth of Visored and the appearance of arrancars, the Visored were undoubtedly the experimental products made by Aizen before the arrancar experiment.
The thought of being treated as a guinea pig was definitely not a good feeling.
"I see." Lisa nodded, and immediately started chatting with Mazuru, because she really wanted to know the changes in the Soul Society over the years, but because the other Visored and Mazuru were not too familiar, so Lisa took Mazuru and left from there first.
Seeing Mazuru and Lisa leave here, Shinji said with a bit of sourness, "It's good to be handsome, and he took away the most beautiful girl in our group as soon as he came here."
As he said that, he couldn't help looking at Kensei, "Speaking of which, Kensai, you are also very handsome, with the so-called protagonist's face, why don't you get this kind of treatment?"
Kensei looked calm, "After all, they are old acquaintances, and Lisa took him away because she was afraid of making us uncomfortable."
"Yeah, I know."
Shinji nodded. It was true that they all belonged to Gotei 13 back then as the captains and vice-captains of various team, but they were actually not very well-acquainted. For example, Shinji was not familiar with Kensei, Love and others back then. It was only after becoming a Visored that they had to make this group to keep each other warm and safe, and thus gradually became familiar with each other.
…
Mazuru and Lisa left the underground training ground and came to the factory above.
"I didn't expect that you would eventually become a captain."
Lisa looked at Mazuru whose appearance was only a few years older than before, but she felt that there was something different about him.
"What's wrong with me becoming a captain? Back then I was the vice-captain of Thirteenth Division, so becoming a captain is a matter of course." Mazuru immediately retorted.
Lisa lost in thoughts for a while, then laughed, and she asked Mazuru, "Are Nanao and the others alright?"
Back then, because of her arrogance and curiosity, she was tricked by Aizen and forced to leave Soul Society for many years. She also wanted to know what happened to those old souls she knew from Soul Society in all these years.
