After the crowd dispersed in front of the Eighth Division's gate, Rosse glanced at the at-a-loss Inoue Orihi.
"Inoue Orihi, that's your na, right?"
"Yes... and you are?"
Inoue Orihi lowered her head very far, almost burying it into her heaving chest.
The earlier standoff between the two sides made her feel like a tiny boat on the open sea, tossed about by raging waves. One careless mont, and it would be shipwreck and death.
The Rosse before her looked tall and handso, but for so reason, Inoue Orihi felt that he was not a good person.
Rosse gave her a very bad feeling, even worse than the first ti she t the lecherous-looking Mister Kyoraku.
"Tenth Division Captain Jaygarcia Rosse. You were brought into Soul Society without authorization. From today onward, you are an experintal subject of the Twelfth Division," Rosse spoke calmly, declaring Inoue Orihi's future fate.
After saying that, he stepped forward and walked on.
"Um..."
Seeing Rosse move ahead, Inoue Orihi knew he was escorting her to that so-called Twelfth Division, and wisely chose to follow.
"If I beco an experintal subject, what will the consequences be?", She felt a little scared inside.
Experintal subject, or anything like that, sounded terrifying.
But Kyoraku Shunsui and Ise Nanao had both told her that nothing would happen to her, because she had saved that old man. At worst, she would suffer for a while, and in the end they would still let her go.
"Consequences? As an experintal subject of the Twelfth Division, you could die in as fast as one hour. If things go smoothly, you'll be studied for a few months or years until you lose your value. Maybe you'll get sent to Rukongai as a wandering soul, or maybe you'll be remodeled into a mber of the Twelfth Division," Rosse spoke casually.
He was not particularly interested in Inoue Orihi. Her weak, easily bullied appearance did not stir any protective instinct in him.
At most, at most, for the sake of her being a flower bud, he might give her a little care after she blood.
But that was all.
To him, Inoue Orihi's value was far less than that of Kurosaki Ichigo and Shihoin Yoruichi who were following behind.
These two might put on a pretty good show for him in the days to co.
As for Inoue Orihi, she was nothing more than a toy.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?", Rosse turned his head and looked at Inoue Orihi, who had stopped with fear written all over her face. The corner of his mouth curled into a teasing smile.
"Um... Captain Rosse, you're lying to , right? Mister Kyoraku said I'd be fine...", Inoue Orihi laughed awkwardly, trying to ease the atmosphere that made her so afraid.
Experintal subject, that was way too scary.
"Lying to you? Are you even worth lying to? She is the vice-captain of the Twelfth Division, a modified human created by Kurotsuchi Mayuri. Her organs, even her body, were artificially molded by Kurotsuchi Mayuri," The teasing at the corner of Rosse's mouth grew deeper as he casually pointed at Nemu Kurotsuchi, who was silently following at the side.
And when Inoue Orihi stiffly turned her head, looking toward Nemu as if to confirm it, she actually saw Nemu expressionlessly open her clothes and twist open her chest covering.
At that mont, Inoue Orihi felt her whole world collapse.
In an instant, her mind was filled with all kinds of scenes of mad scientists and grotesque modifications.
Thump!
As expected, Inoue Orihi's voluptuous legs trembled uncontrollably, and in the end could no longer support her body, causing her to drop straight down onto the ground.
The pain from falling finally jolted Inoue Orihi awake. She hurriedly looked up at Rosse and begged:
"Captain Rosse! Can I not beco an experintal subject? I can do other things. I can help you heal people, I can do housework or cook too, please..."
She was just an ordinary person. Being suddenly abducted to the unfamiliar Soul Society was already enough to terrify her.
And after only a few days here, she was labeled an intruder and was about to be turned into an experintal subject.
Especially after seeing Nemu Kurotsuchi's modified body.
Just these shocks alone were enough to completely break her down.
"Hey! Inoue, there's no need to beg this bastard!"
Just as Inoue was pleading and Rosse had yet to reply, Kurosaki Ichigo finally could not stand it anymore. Completely ignoring Shihoin Yoruichi's attempts to stop him, he jumped straight out of the shadows.
If Rosse had not been escorting her, he would have already jumped out to save Inoue Orihi long ago.
It was also because of how badly he had lost before that he hesitated for this long.
But even if he could weigh the situation, he could not bear to see Rosse terrifying a young girl like this.
Seeing that look on Rosse's face, and then thinking about how Kurosaki Masaki might have been bullied by Rosse in the sa way back then, he could not suppress the rage in his heart at all.
"Kurosaki-kun!", Seeing a familiar face, Inoue Orihi lit up with joy.
eting soone you know in a strange environnt and a desperate situation would make anyone wildly emotional, seeing that person as their ray of hope.
"Inoue, just watch from the side."
Kurosaki Ichigo rely nodded at Inoue Orihi, then fixed his gaze on Rosse and spoke without restraint, "Rosse! You spy from Hueco Mundo, just how far do you plan to ss up Soul Society before you're satisfied?"
He had heard from Aizen that the Twelfth Division sided with Rosse out of self-interest.
But that definitely did not an the Twelfth Division would ignore Rosse's identity.
So as long as he exposed Rosse's identity in front of the Twelfth Division's vice-captain, it would at least cause so chaos and give him a chance to take Inoue Orihi away.
But what he did not expect was that after hearing his words, Nemu Kurotsuchi beside them remained completely still, like a statue, without the slightest reaction.
Seeing this, Kurosaki Ichigo's pupils suddenly shrank.
"What are you thinking right now? Are you wondering why Nemu didn't hear what you said?"
Rosse's voice rang out with a smile, playful and amused.
"Kurosaki Ichigo, why do you think they can hear your words?"
"Controlling the five senses? Is that your Zanpakuto's ability?"
Kurosaki Ichigo's voice grew heavy as he stared intently at the two Zanpakuto at Rosse's waist.
He had seen dual-wielding before. Kyoraku Shunsui, and even he himself, did it. The difference was that his blades split into two after Shikai, while Kyoraku Shunsui, like Rosse, carried two normal Zanpakuto.
What Aizen had told him before was only speculation, but now he could be certain. Among those two swords, one of them controlled the five senses.
"Oh? You even know about controlling the five senses? Looks like your Aizen-sensei told you quite a lot. But unfortunately, have you ever considered that, in so people's understanding, his sword is called Kyoka Suigetsu, and its ability is to control the five senses?", Rosse spoke with interest.
He deliberately only said half of what he ant, precisely to deepen Kurosaki Ichigo's trust in Aizen in reverse.
Even if soone told Kurosaki Ichigo the truth in the future, he would feel that it was because Rosse had interfered and frad Aizen.
He was really looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks would fly when Aizen and Kurosaki Ichigo beca entangled.
As for the other diocre people, they could barely count as supporting cast for this grand show.
