Chapter 397 Invitation From Squad Zero
"Captain, this is the order from the chief captain! It is said that there is an emergency and all the captains are summoned."
Wusuke reported breathlessly, obviously running over, "Vice Captain, you are going too."
"Oh? Why are all the captains summoned at this time?"
Lu Li said curiously, but seeing that Wusuke also looked confused, he knew it was useless to ask him.
He jumped down from the roof, "Let's go, A Jian, let's see what the old man wants to do with us."
After a while, he and Zaraki arrived at the first team's team building, only to find that the other captains had already arrived, and they were the last to arrive.
The captain stood at the head of the group and glanced at everyone with his old eyes, "Everyone is here, you can come out."
As he finished speaking, a figure quickly appeared next to the captain.
The man has a thin face, a hook-shaped haircut at the end, a straw stick in his mouth, and wears a long-sleeved and short-sleeved haori. The top is open, revealing his strong chest and abdominal muscles.
Kyōraku Shunsui saw that this man looked a little more solemn, "Team Zero..."
The man casually greeted Uzhihua, "Hey, Lie, long time no see. Did the reply I taught you work well?"
Lu Li recognized this person. Kirin Temple Tenshiro, he was the one who taught Mao Zhihua the way to return. His medical skills were at the pinnacle of the Soul Society. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a real ghost hunter in the underworld.
When Maozhihua wanted to return from the front line to the fourth division, she learned the way of return from Kirin Temple.
"It's in use."
Uzhihua said expressionlessly.
"Tian Shilang, let's talk about business first."
The crutch in the captain's hand hit the floor and reminded him.
The Zero Squadron is known as the royal family's special agents. It is independent of the Gotei 13 Squadron and lives in the Spirit King's Palace above. It has a superior status.
But this status cannot overpower him as the captain. Among the royal agents, there is only one person who can overpower him in terms of seniority and hard power.
"Okay, first meeting, Team Zero, Kirinji Tenshiro."
Tian Shilang introduced himself casually, glanced at everyone, and paused at Lu Li, "I have called everyone here today to announce something."
Among the captains present, old captains like Kyoraku Unohana who had held positions for more than a hundred years had roughly guessed what was going to happen, and some people also glanced at Hikifune Kiryu.
They had already heard some rumors that Captain Hikifune had made great achievements in research and was likely to be promoted to the Zero Division in the future.
I don’t know if the agents from Division Zero are here today for promotion.
"I don't like long speeches, so I'll keep it simple."
Kirinji said, "Lu Li, the captain of the 11th Division, will be honored to be promoted to the 0th Division because of his outstanding combat achievements, his command of Hueco Mundo, and his invention of the shadow clone."
As soon as this statement came out, although some people had expected it, they were still surprised.
The main reason is that Lu Li is too young, and how many years have passed since he returned from Hueco Mundo and became the captain of Team 11?
In history, there is neither such a small member of the Zero Division, nor such a rapid promotion record.
The conditions for promotion to Division Zero are not simply based on combat prowess, as many people know. The main requirement is to have made indelible contributions to Soul Society, or to have made historic inventions.
For example, Shutara Senjumaru invented the Death Overlord Suit and was promoted to the Zero Division, and Kirinji Tenshiro invented the Hudou (possibly) and was promoted to the Zero Division.
However, after everyone was surprised, they thought about it and found that Lu Li did meet many conditions. Not only was he a hero in the war, he also unified Hueco Mundo for the first time, allowing Hueco Mundo to establish diplomatic relations with Soul Society and jointly rule the three realms.
Not only that, the invention of Lu Liying's clone can also be called a cross-era ghost system. With this technique, the Shinigami may evolve many new tricks in combat practice, especially in terms of practice, which will definitely make people The efficiency is doubled several times.
Some of the people present were surprised and some were happy, but there were also some who were obviously not very happy, such as Captain Yamamoto.
Captain Yamamoto is theoretically within the jurisdiction of the Zero Division, but because of his personal strength and the origin of the Gotei 13, he always has some privileges.
Lu Li's promotion to Division Zero was of course a good thing for Lu Li in terms of weaving level, but this did not mean that it was a good thing for the Gotei Thirteen.
After a series of battles, the Gotei 13 team is in need of talents. Is it appropriate for your Zero team to come to recruit people at this time?
When the Seireitei was in crisis, when the gates of hell opened, your Zero Squadron didn't take action.
Why are you so diligent when it comes to poaching people after the war?
The talents he managed to cultivate and cultivate were always poached one by one by Team Zero. This feeling was of course unpleasant.
"Team Zero..."
Lu Li didn't expect that there would be such drama when he was about to return. It was beyond his expectation.
"But my position as captain of the 11th Squadron is not yet warm..."
Lu Li seemed to be talking to himself.
"Young man, there is no need to worry. You have been promoted. Team Zero is a royal agent and serves the Soul King directly."
Kirin Temple Tenshiro seemed to have noticed Lu Li's reluctance, thinking that Lu Li was too young to understand the meaning of the Zero Division, so he made a special statement.
Lu Li blinked and looked at the captain, "Captain, can I not go?"
"Boy, did you hear me clearly? Team Zero is a higher position, don't you want to go?"
The captain asked rhetorically.
"I've probably heard about the existence of Division Zero, but after I get there, won't I have to stay in the Soul King's Palace in a daze every day? That's boring. Division 11 is better."
Lu Li said with a grin, this was also his true thought.
Even if he still has a lot of time to stay, he has no plans to go to the Zero Division. On the one hand, it is boring to have no battles to fight. If he is always being stared at by masters like Monk, then he really can't do anything.
As for the benefits, he has his own Zanpakutō and doesn't need to be recast. Captain Hikifune hasn't been promoted yet, and he can't get the Reiatsu gourmet meal service, so forget it.
"That's it..."
The captain couldn't hide the smile on his face. I'm afraid if Kirin Temple Tenshiro hadn't been there, he would have burst into laughter.
Of course he didn't want Lu Li to be poached. The main reason was that Lu Li was not a researcher in nature, but a combatant. His best position was in the Gotei 13.
If all the strong men were poached by the Zero Division, how could he protect the garden?
Next to him, Kirinji Tenshiro's face is not difficult to look good. He is quite proud to begin with, and he has a bit of an arrogant attitude towards people outside the Zero Division. This time, there are no other Zero Division members accompanying him to correct his attitude, so His true nature is revealed.
"Hey, kid, do you know what you are talking about? Are you going to refuse the kindness of Team Zero? This is a position that no other Shinigami can ask for."
Qilin Temple's voice was low and a little angry.
"I didn't ask to join the Zero Division either."
Lu Li spread his hands and looked at the other captains, "Do you want to join the Zero Division?"
Kyōraku Shunsui laughed out loud when he heard this, but then realized that the situation was not right, so he quickly became serious and lowered the brim of his straw hat.
"Boy...promoting to Division Zero means..."
Before Qilin Temple finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Li.
"Captain, is this an order? Or is it a matter for me to choose?"
Lu Li asked.
"Boy, this is not an order. Also, pay attention to the occasion, be more serious, and show some respect to Team Zero."
The captain was educating in his words, but there was a smile hidden in his eyes.
"Oh, then I won't go."
Lu Li shrugged.
Kirinji Tenshiro was a little angry when he heard this, but when he thought of the instructions given by other members of the Zero Division before he left, he calmed down and said, "Although this is not an order, there has never been an invitation to be rejected in history. , it’s better to do this..."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Captain Lu, how about you come with me to the Spirit King's Palace first to learn more about what Team Zero is, and then make a decision?"
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
Before coming, the commander of the army, Ippei, had specifically asked Lu Li to be recruited into the Zero Division.
As for the reason, the great monk did not explain it in detail, but judging from his serious expression, I was afraid that there was something hidden behind Lu Li's promotion that he didn't know about.
If Lu Li refused the matter, he would not be able to recover after returning, so he wanted to at least take Lu Li back first.
"Um……"
Lu Li pondered for a moment after hearing the words and didn't know how to give a better answer.
At this time, the captain spoke, "Boy, just go and have a look. If you think Team Zero is a good place, you can choose to be promoted."
He didn't think someone with Lu Li's personality would choose to be promoted to Division Zero. After visiting the place, he would just find it more boring. And once he knew the truth about the Spirit King, young people like Lu Li might not be able to accept it.
What he said now could be regarded as smoothing things over, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to Team Zero.
"Well, since even the commander-in-chief said so, then I'll go and have a look. It's time to see the world."
Lu Li said with a smile and agreed to the matter.
In fact, his stay was less than two days, and the most he could do was visit.
He was worried that there was no good place to disappear. It would be interesting if he disappeared in the Zero Division, right?
"Okay, then it's settled. You can take care of your affairs and we'll set off tomorrow morning."
Kirinji Tenshiro said that he has an impatient personality. If he wanted to promote someone, he would have to give the captain at least a month to handle matters, say goodbye to family and friends, and make arrangements for the next captain.
Although he said he wanted Lu Li to visit this time, he believed that when Lu Li arrived at the Soul King Palace and met the Ichibei of the Military Chief, he would probably not come back and would probably choose to be promoted.
Although the schedule for the day was a little short, he still gave it to him.
Lu Li didn't mean to refute when he heard this. After all, he didn't have much time left to stay, so this was just right.
After the meeting, the news that Lu Li was invited to join the Zero Division spread throughout the Seireitei and became a major gossip today.
But what was even more shocking than his invitation was that Lu Li actually refused to join Team Zero, which was something many Shinigami dreamed of.
Essentially, if you join the Zero Division, you belong to the aristocratic class. If you want, you can set up your own inheritance family in the future. Isn't this the privileged class among the privileged classes?
Seeing that Lu Li still refused, many Shinigami admired Lu Li for his determination and the loyalty of the Gotei Thirteen.
In the evening, Lu Li came to the fifth team's team building and had a small gathering with Aizen.
"Soyousuke, I have to leave."
Lu Li said bluntly at the dinner table.
"I know. Didn't Mr. Lu say it before? Calculating the time, I think it's almost time."
Aizen was very calm, "Don't worry about Hueco Mundo, I will take care of it."
"I won't be polite to you anymore. Wait until I come back."
Lu Li grinned.
"Then Mr. Lu, you have to act quickly. If I wait a few hundred years, I may have reorganized the Three Realms."
Aizen said with a smile.
"It won't be that long. I will definitely catch up before the plan starts. Soyousuke should take it easy while I'm away."
Lu Li said that he had seen the details of the positioning prop, but it said that the accurate time could only be established after returning.
So Lu Li couldn't give Aizen an accurate estimate now, but he felt that he had to prepare well and try to penetrate the Death God world directly next time he came, so that he could attract people in this world.
…………
Early the next morning, in front of the north gate of Seireitei.
Tianshi Lang of Qilin Temple had been waiting here for a long time. He got up early in the morning just to take Lu Li back to recover his life as soon as possible.
The main reason is that he is also curious about what the Ichibōi of the Military Chief's Department wants to do when he comes to Lu Li. From his point of view, although Lu Li is strong, he is not worth mentioning in the Zero Division.
The great monk must have an interesting reason for looking for Lu Li.
"It's so early, am I too late?"
Lu Li walked over leisurely. There was no one around him to see him off. Mainly from the eyes of ordinary people, he was just going to the Zero Division for sightseeing and would be back in two days.
"It's too late for you, let's go."
Tenshiro of Kirin Temple said with some dissatisfaction, and took out a pillar. It was the Tianzhu Chariot, which is a unique means of transportation for the Zero Division, used to travel between the Soul King Palace and the Soul Society.
Using this prop, he and Lu Li only had to stand on it, and it would be like an elevator that would take them to the Spirit King's Palace on the top of the sky.
"It's amazing. This thing is quite fast, and it doesn't feel much acceleration."
Lu Li saw that after Qilin Temple launched the Tianzhu Chariot, the two of them were climbing rapidly. He was curious about the principle of this thing, and also wanted to know how long it would take to reach the Spirit King Palace, "How long does it take to fly?"
Qilin Temple pointed to the dashboard inside the Tianzhu chariot, "It will probably take another twenty-three hours."
Lu Li opened his mouth after hearing this, a little shocked, "So long!?"
He also thought that he could go up and have a look at the layout of the Soul King Palace as a preview of his homework, but it turned out that just flying up would take more than twenty hours! ?
However, he thought about it carefully. It would have taken twelve hours for Kurosaki Ichigo at his peak to rush down from Soul King Palace normally. So the Tenzhu Chariot was really fast.
