Chapter 609: You're Late
Tony felt that his limbs were stiff and his whole body was cold, as if the winter was immersed in cold water.
Ichimaru Gin slowly walked forward, leaned over and showed a wicked smile. "You obviously hid so well, but I saw through you with a glance. Let me guess. Are you very puzzled now, how do I know?"
Tony raised his head stiffly, and a figure flashed in his mind. His eyes were gray and he said bitterly, "Yes. Lod betrayed me?"
He could only think of this possibility.
If not for Lod's betrayal, how could the ordinary death god in Soul Society know of his existence?
"It's a pity that I guessed wrong."
Ichimaru Gin shook his head and looked at Tony with a smile and said slowly, "The reason why we can find you is not because of who betrayed you, but because we have been paying attention to you a long time ago."
"A long time ago." Tony's eyes trembled like an earthquake.
"Well, let me think about it."
Ichimaru Gin thought for a moment, and then said with a smile, "It was probably from the time when Lod contacted you that we began to include you as an observation target. It was only until recently that we confirmed it was you."
Lod. It was Lod again?
It seemed that the reason why everyone was looking for him was because he had been in contact with Lod!
Whether it was the female Quincy or the captain in front of him, they seemed to be pursuing the people that Lod had been in contact with, and he, as one of the closest to Lod, naturally received close attention from these people!
But the question came, what purpose did they have?
The following questions seemed to be entangled in a furball. The messy thoughts made Tony completely confused. These people were so concerned about him that they even did not hesitate to lure him out of Lod's monitoring range. What did they want to do?
"Why are you guys paying attention to me" Tony's temple jumped, he endured the pain and asked with gritted teeth.
"This question."
Ichimaru Gin smiled like a fox and said, "When you come back to Soul Society with us, you will naturally know."
"Wait. It has something to do with Lod, right?" Tony wanted to try his best to stall for more time. He hurriedly raised his hand and said, "In any case, I can't run away. Even if I return to Soul Society to be punished, you should at least let me die and understand, right?"
Although Ichimaru Gin saw through his mind, he did not break it. Instead, he had a playful expression and said, "It seems that you are not too stupid. There is indeed a part of the reason with him. If you want to blame, you can only blame him for choosing you."
"Did he do something to me, so you all came to me?" Tony's mind was very sharp, and he quickly analyzed some useful clues from Ichimaru Gin's words.
"Hehe, I don't know."
Ichimaru Gin shook his head decisively, squinted his eyes and smiled, "If you expose the mystery too early, the game will not be fun."
Although the other side did not say anything, this kind of avoiding answer made Tony believe his guess.
Sure enough, Lod had really done something to him!
In his heart, he had always regarded Lod as a mentor and a friend. Until a few seconds ago, he could not believe this fact. But now, the moment he was really confirmed, an indescribable sense of disappointment suddenly enveloped his whole body.
Lod... betrayed him.
That man was using him to plot some unspeakable secret.
"There is not much time left. We should go back to Soul Society."
Ichimaru Gin smiled and patted him on the shoulder. He did not give any more opportunities to buy time. His ruthless words were like a hammer, ruthlessly smashing Tony's last hope.
"Wait.. I still have one last wish!" Tony's face was pale and bitter, "Let me send those two away and then follow you to Soul Society, okay?"
Maya and Potts bwere protected by Kido's barrier, so they were not affected by the aftermath.
However, the two of them were still unconscious and it was easy for accidents to happen if they stayed here, so Tony wanted to send these two women away before he left. This was his last wish.
"No need."
Ichimaru Gin raised his hand and the stronger Kido enchantment shrouded the two people: "That troublesome guy will come soon, so we better leave quickly, I don't want to fight with him again."
The troublesome guy?
Tony was slightly stunned and immediately understood that he was referring to Lod Carl.
"Don't try to stall for time." Ichimaru Gin seemed to have predicted it and destroyed Tony's fantasy in advance: "Break your legs and then take you away. It is not difficult for me. I think you don't want to do this, right?"
Tony's face was stiff and he sighed helplessly: "I'll go with you. I only beg you to let them go."
---
The crisp sound of a bell rang, and light blue spiritual energy floated up.
A dark red ancient arched door slowly appeared as if it was hollow. It was the realm entrance that led to Soul Society.
Ichimaru Gin raised his hand and gently pressed it. The arch door immediately opened slowly to both sides, revealing the dark and deep passage inside. It made people feel inexplicable palpitations, as if not for the door to Soul Society, but the mouth of an abyss beast.
Tony looked at the darkness inside the door, his mood was both excited and sad.
He was excited that he could finally see the rumored Soul Society, and the sad thing was that this was probably the first time and the last time he saw Soul Society.
"Let's go."
Ichimaru Gin took the lead and walked into the door, not caring whether the people behind him followed.
Tony's footsteps were a little stiff. He wanted to take this opportunity to escape, but after thinking about it, he thought it was better to forget it. Since the other party dared to go in first, he was not afraid of him turning around and running away.
Moreover, he had seen Shinso's speed.
Tony admitted that his speed was not that fast. If he dared to turn around and escape, he would probably say goodbye to his two legs in the next second.
"Hu."
Taking a deep breath, Tony gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and strode into the door.
But just as the door was about to close, a black figure suddenly appeared, and a hand blocked the door that was about to close.
Creak -
A hand pressed down forcefully on the door, and a familiar face appeared before their eyes.
"Lod"
Tony widened his eyes, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
But when he wanted to ask for help from Lod, he found that he could not move at all. His body was like a puppet controlled by a puppet. He could only watch helplessly, but he could not make a sound.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
Ichimaru Gin tsked a few times and the smile on his face faded a little. "Isn't this biggest traitor of Soul Society a hundred years ago, Lod Carl who caused hundreds of death god's disappearance?"
"Why mention the past?"
Lod looked at him expressionlessly. His gaze turned to Tony and his eyebrows inadvertently raised. "This person is still useful to me. Can you not take him away first?"
"Sorry, Lod."
Ichimaru Gin shook his head and smiled to refuse: "He is a criminal wanted by Central 46. I can't hand him over to you."
"Even Central 46." Shock flashed through Lod's eyes, but it was quickly concealed by him. He frowned and said, "Although stealing death god's power is a serious crime, it is not necessary to let those old guys come out, right?"
"Who knows what those old guys are thinking."
Ichimaru Gin put on a helpless look and shrugged, "But since it is the direct order from Central 46, even if it is our Captain level other existence, we must follow it."
No.. No!
This sinister guy was lying!
Tony suddenly realized that he and Lod had been cheated by Ichimaru Gin.
This guy clearly knew that Lod would come and even said that Lod deliberately hid something, but now he deliberately pretended to be ignorant. Obviously, this Ichimaru Gin had a big problem.
He wanted to remind Lod to be careful, but unfortunately, he could not do it at all and could only watch helplessly.
"You have changed a lot, Silver."
Lod looked at him deeply and sighed as if he had given up.
"Everyone will change, won't they?"
Ichimaru Gin smiled and said, "Just like you, the most talented death god chose to betray in the end."
