Looking at Renji, her elder brother, and the Senkaimon beside her, Rukia gradually had some guesses in her heart, but because the guesses were too incredible, she was still not sure, let alone feel any excitement.
"I heard that Hueco Mundo is very windy." Byakuya said abruptly.
"Hueco Mundo, nii-sama you..."
Byakuya took two packages from nowhere and handed them to Rukia and Renji. They opened the packages and found white cloaks inside.
"About what happened to you before, our Kuchiki family owed Kurosaki Ichigo a favor, but for some reasons I couldn't go to Hueco Mundo to help him in person." Byakuya explained.
Both Rukia and Renji caught the meaning behind his words.
That is, he couldn't go to Hueco Mundo to help Ichigo, but they could.
"But nii-sama, the head-captain's side..."
Rukia still had some concerns. The head-captain asked them to return to the Soul Society this time, and forbade them to help Ichigo, because the battle was imminent, and they could not rush into Hueco Mundo.
"So, it's up to you to decide whether to go to Hueco Mundo to help Ichigo against the head-captain's order." Byakuya's tone was still indifferent.
Rukia was silent.
She didn't think about it for too long, even if the head-captain forbade them to go to Hueco Mundo, but now there was an opportunity to help Ichigo, she didn't want to just miss it, and her elder brother also allowed her.
'Whatever, I want to do it so I will just do it.'
"Nii-sama, thank you!"
Rukia looked at her indifferent elder brother, and bowed.
Seeing Rukia like this, Renji also saluted his captain.
Byakuya was silent for a while, "It seems that you have already made your decision. Now that you have made your decision, I won't say anything else."
Then he suddenly looked at Renji, "Renji."
"Yes, captain!"
Renji straightened up.
"Protect Rukia, don't let her have any accidents." Byakuya said to him with a soft tone.
Renji froze for a moment, then nodded immediately.
After that, with the help of the Senkaimon of the Kuchiki house, Renji and Rukia who had returned to the Soul Society just for a day, went back to the world of living.
Watching Renji and Rukia leave, Byakuya remained silent for a long time, not showing what he was thinking.
…
In the world of living, within the Urahara Shop.
Ichigo and Sado were waiting for Kisuke to make final adjustments to the instrument. After the instrument was completely adjusted, Kisuke could send them to Hueco Mundo.
In the meantime, Yoruichi was filling them with the knowledge about Hueco Mundo.
Yoruichi's expression was very serious. After all, Hueco Mundo was different from Soul Society. This time the invasion was also different from the last time. During their time in Soul Society, she still had some power, and could still provide some help to Ichigo but Hueco Mundo was different. Hueco Mundo was now Aizen's headquarters, and he was still tinkering in Hueco Mundo to make powerful hollows like arrancars.
If Ichigo and Sado broke into Hueco Mundo rashly, there was no doubt that it would be throwing themselves into a tiger's den, but Ichigo had already made up his mind, and she couldn't persuade Ichigo otherwise, so she could only do the next best thing.
After explaining the basic knowledge about Hueco Mundo, Yoruichi said another thing to Ichigo, "You guys wait a moment, one of your friends is going to Hueco Mundo with you."
"Friend?"
Ichigo was a little puzzled, and then, following a tall figure coming there, Ichigo and Sado were stunned at the same time. It turned out to be Uryuu who came there.
"Ishida!"
Seeing Uryuu, a good friend who had disappeared for a while, Ichigo was a little excited.
Uryuu looked a little cold, "I have heard about Inoue-san, I have to say, I am very disappointed in you Kurosaki, you failed to protect her, but because of your determination to go to Hueco Mundo to rescue her, I chose to go along with you guys to Hueco Mundo."
Hearing Uryuu's words, Ichigo was still very happy.
Of course, he was also a little curious about what Uryuu had been doing during this time.
Uryuu did not give Ichigo an explanation for that.
In fact, during this period of time, he was undergoing special training to improve his strength, but he didn't know how Kisuke found his training place, and then told him about Orihime.
For this reason, he resolutely terminated the training under his father's cynicism, and prepared to rescue Orihime together with Ichigo.
With the arrival of Uryuu, Kisuke over there also started making final preparations, and was about to turn on the equipment and send them into Hueco Mundo.
But before that, he told Ichigo and others, "I opened the portal but there is nothing in this passage, it is not as convenient as the Garganta opened by the arrancars. If you want to go to Hueco Mundo, you have to pave the way with spiritual particles, just like you usually walk in the air, but you have to pay attention, if you accidentally fall, you will be lost in the unknown space and never be able to return."
"We understand!"
The three of them responded at the same time.
"In addition, the situation in Hueco Mundo is very complicated as it is the base camp of the arrancars. If a battle occurs, it must be resolved as soon as possible, and also you must determine the Orihime's location as soon as possible."
"I will open the passage again at the original location after seven days. You must remember where you arrived, and you only have seven days." Kisuke's words could be regarded as solving their worries about returning and also reminding them the seriousness of the matter.
Then Kisuke and Tessai installed a device respectively, and they injected spiritual particles into the device respectively, and the devices on both sides reacted quickly, as if the electrodes were gradually approaching to spark sparks, and then the blue spirit between the two devices linked up. Kisuke pulled out his Zanpakuto and plugged it into the device under his feet, the blue spiritual link suddenly became thicker and then disappeared quickly, and a black channel gradually appeared.
Ichigo and others were about to step into it and go to Hueco Mundo, when a familiar voice sounded.
"Looks like we've caught up in time."
Ichigo turned his head suddenly, and saw two familiar figures.
"Renji, Rukia?!"
He didn't expect that these two good friends who returned to the Soul Society would come to the world of living again.
…
In Soul Society, Nanao accompanied Mazuru for a while, and then went back to Eighth Division.
Mazuru and others were recalled from the world of living by the head-captain, it was not because of the end of their stationing mission in the world of living, but because of the arrival of winter when the final confrontation between them and Aizen was about to occur.
The entire Soul Society was making final preparations for the battle.
"It has finally come to this moment."
Back in the Third Division, Mazuru whispered to himself, and then his eyes flickered.
