Chapter 302: The Plot Thickens
Chapter 302: The Plot Thickens
Such obvious nonsense, even Zaraki Kenpachi, this kind of rough person, can see it, let alone the shrewd Coulson next to him.
There was a conspiracy!
And it was a great conspiracy!
Coulson, who had a keen sense of smell, decisively detected the familiar scent of conspiracy from this conversation.
Why would death god, who was known as a genius that was rarely seen in a thousand years and even had the ability to take over the position of captain, appear in the world far away from Soul Society and do such a boring and mundane job of guiding souls?
Or what made this genius rather stay away from Soul Society and hide his strength than go back to take over the position of captain?
Coulson\'s pupils slightly trembled, and he suddenly remembered something.
According to the information collected before, Soul Society had only a total of thirteen captains, which had never changed for tens of thousands of years.
Since he let Lod Carl go back and take over the position of captain, did it mean that Soul Society\'s current captain was not in a full state, but lacked a part of the important combat power!
Then think deeper...
Soul Society was so eager to let Lod inherit the position of captain. Did it contain another meaning? Since Soul Society\'s combat power had not completely recovered from the \' Thousand Years War\', but because of the two great hidden dangers of the increasingly powerful \'hollow\' and the Quincy family, he had to recall the living power to strengthen himself?
While Coulson was thinking, the conversation continued.
"So, you refuse?" Zaraki Kenpachi scratched his head and said with some frustration, "If the old man knows that i did not brought you back, he will come to nag me again. Do you want to take you back forcibly?"
He is not good at persuading people, but he is very good at tying people up!
With the idea of not forcing people to move, Zaraki Kenpachi eyes became more and more dangerous, and even Spiritual Power around him showed signs of rising, which made Coulson on the side nervous, afraid that he would be swept in as cannon fodder.
\'Lod\' looked a little helpless and sighed: "Captain Zaraki, I shouldn\'t be the only one who can inherit the title of captain in the Soul Society, right?"
"But you are the most suitable candidate."
Zaraki Kenpachi took another step forward, and his eyes were extremely oppressive staring at \'Lod\' and said: "Lod Carl, what happened that night that forced a man like you to run away for three hundred years?"
Running away for three hundred years?
Coulson pricked up his ears. His intuition told him that this matter was very important.
Perhaps this had a great connection with why Lod appeared in the modern world and was unwilling to take over the position of captain!
"Nothing happened."
\'Lod\' was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
But Coulson, who was at the side, noticed that deep in the depths of Lod\'s eyes, there was an extremely obscure flash of anger when he said this.
Although it was only a flash, Coulson was sure that he was not mistaken.
As one of agent\'s compulsory courses of micro-expressions, he could dig out the most subtle psychological state from a person\'s facial expression.
"If you don\'t want to say it, forget it."
Zaraki Kenpachi shook his head and turned away with the sword, leaving a sentence: "Remember to go back a few more times when you are free, so that the old man will not talk about you every day."
"Well... I know."
\'Lod\' nodded slightly and watched Zaraki Kenpachi step into the realm gate.
Now, there were only two people left.
\'Lod\' stared at Coulson without saying a word.
"Mr. Lod... I... won\'t tell anyone." Coulson suddenly broke out in sweat. He remembered that he seemed to have heard something he shouldn\'t have heard. He thought that he wouldn\'t be killed to silence him!
"Don\'t worry, I won\'t kill you." \'Lod\' saw through agent\'s thoughts at a glance and immediately dispelled his thoughts.
"Really? Really?" Coulson was skeptical. After all, as agent\'s habit, it was difficult to completely trust a person, not to mention that the other party was not necessarily a\' person \'.
\'Lod\' felt a little funny and asked, "Then why don\'t you tell me why I want to kill you?"
"Uh..." Seeing this, Coulson felt relieved. He scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look, "I heard so many secrets. Isn\'t it normal to kill people to silence them?"
"Don\'t compare humans with death god." Lod gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "Moreover, these things are not a secret. The entire Soul Society knows. Otherwise, how could Captain Zaraki say it in front of you?"
"That\'s true..." Coulson laughed and thought that he was worrying too much.
Some of the things that they thought were confidential were just because they knew too little information, but from Soul Society\'s point of view, it could not be considered confidential.
Coulson hesitated for a moment. Driven by curiosity, he was ready to commit suicide. He asked, "Mr. Lod, can I ask why you are not willing to take over the position of captain?"
"You have too many questions."
Lod\'s eyes flickered slightly as he revealed a trace of a dangerous aura. Spiritual Power suddenly surged out from his body.
Plop!
Coulson was pressed to the ground by this aura. It was as if thousands of kilograms of weight had fallen down, causing the bones and muscles in his entire body to let out cries of pain. The shattered ground around him even cracked once more as if it were forstruck by a heavy hammer.
"S-sorry"
Coulson\'s face was flushed red, and he felt that his breathing had become extremely difficult. It was as if he would be crushed into meat paste at any moment, and these words popped out from between his teeth.
Spiritual Power suddenly disappeared.
"Huff huff huff huff..." Coulson panted greedily. He looked at the cold \'Lod\' with lingering fear in his eyes. He was glad that the other party did not really want to kill him. Otherwise, he would have definitely died just now!
"This is the second time."
Lod said lightly, "There are only three times that a person can be kind. I hope that next time, you won\'t use my kindness to do something beyond the boundaries, Coulson."
"Yes... I understand, Mr. Lod."
Facing the \'Lod\' who turned hostile faster than flipping through a book, Coulson could only choose to swallow the bitter fruit and remember in his heart that he must not court death next time!
"Hmph."
Lod\' snorted coldly, and then Hoho disappeared.
Coulson waited for a long time. After confirming that \'Lod\' really left, he dialed the contact information of the soy egg. "Hello... Director Fury? I have a very important report about... the codenamed death god\'s file."
