2-4 The Largest Valley of Screams

What do you think?

Even though the town was imprisoned in a way, I don't think it's Riruka's ability. It sounds more like Yukio's power, from what I've heard.

However, it's hard to believe he could isolate an area as vast as an entire town.

Yeah, but I still feel like he must be involved.

Well, whether he is or isn't, I think it's safe to say that one side of the Tenkaiketchu is in Karakura Town.

And it's probably surrounding a very wide area.

It seems the teleportation range is set up somewhere high rather than on the ground.

It was arranged to swap out the air instead of the earth.

The air? They aren't thinking of teleporting the Royal Palace, are they?

I don't think that's very likely. That neat freak Senjumaru Shutara would never allow these things to be placed around the Royal Palace.

In that case, there must be something wherever Tokinada fled to.

Captain Kurotsuchi, have you already figured out the whereabouts of Tokinada and that child, Hikone?

Why do you ask each and every obvious thing?

What?! If you know, then spit it out, Mayuri! That's really important information!

What's far more important is that even after 100 years, you still believe it's fine to call me by my first name.

What the hell are you talking about?! You're seriously annoying!

The Arrancars and Quincies of the Kurotsuchi Corpse Unit are equipped with surveillance bacteria.

Anyone they fight is also automatically infected with the bacteria.

Of course, everyone here is already a carrier.

I'll have him remove them later.

But for now, Captain Kurotsuchi, where is Hikone?

The tracking signal has been interrupted, but I can use the Bakudo "Kakushitsuijaku" to find his general location.

The subject's signal has disappeared because he is in the largest Valley of Screams that floats inside of the Garganta.

You should be grateful that I'm here. It's not normally possible, but I can get you there.

As soon as now.
