Chapter 164 Something really bad going to happen

"I don't want any pay from you. I just want to know where you got this form."

Ichigo asked him while he kept the porn in his spatial ring. The ring was something he created using the method of Urahara Kisuke making a base in the underground. He would keep something important or something that he could not keep inside his inner world.

Porn was something that he could not keep in his inner world because there were kids there. He didn't want them to learn this kind of thing yet.

At the very least, they should be a hundred years old each.

"I got it from a ruin I found during the time I traveled around in the desert. We, Vasto Lorde, weren't afraid to lose ourselves because our existence had already solidified, unlike the other arrancars."

Strak explained it in detail. He wasn't Ulquiorra, who treated all of his information like currency.

"Can you tell me the location of the ruin?"

Stark thought about it and shook his head.

"I can't remember where it was, as it was too long ago. But I can tell you the new ruin I found."

Stark told him where the new ruin he found was. It was inside the territory of the Lord of Death. The ruin was buried under the white sand near Las Noches, the fortress where the Lord of Death resided.

Ichigo noted it down; he would go to that place to find the ruin himself. He felt that the ruin should be an important place that could give him valuable information.

How could human porn be here in Hueco Mundo? The place where only Hollow could survive.

"That's all I can tell you. Please bring the book to him as fast as you can otherwise he might think that I am trying to deceive him. And he hated being deceived the most."

After saying that, Stark then went back to the place that Aizen had prepared for him. He would sleep, eat, and play around to his heart's content. This place was the best to do that, as he didn't have to be afraid that another Vasto Lorde might attack him.

Ichigo saw that he had gone. He contacted Rangiku and Miyako, then left the base to bring Porn to Ulquiorra.

"What a weird request, but I should not judge."

He got paid by information, so he needed to do his part.

…

At Nelliel's house.

Nel wasn't playing around like usual, and Dondochakka, Pesche, and Bawabawa were very worried about her being quiet and sad.

Pesche came near her, then asked.

"Nel, why don't we play the eternal tag that you like together?"

Nel heard that she showed a happy face a little, then it went back to sad again.

"I don't want to play anymore. I want to see Izygo."

"Oh, so you miss him... That's why you don't want to play around with us. Hum, let me think about it a little bit. We can go visit him in the human world but I think it wasn't the right time yet."

Pesche thought about it and felt that they should wait for some time before going to the human world again.

Nel could only nod and didn't want to make them worried, so she stood up and started to play around again. She would wait when the time was right so she could go to the human world and play with Ichigo, Karin, and Yuzu.

Pesche, who was relieved that Nel started to play again, felt something outside the house.

He looked at Dondochakka and Buwabawa.

"They are here again. You two take care of Nel. I'll be back in a minute."

Pesche then went out of the house to deal with whoever dared to come close to their territory. It's been weeks since some of the low-class hollows appeared near them.

They could be a threat to Nel, so he needed to get rid of them first.

And when he left, both Dondochakka and Buwabawa played with Nel. They didn't know that something really bad was going to happen with Pesche.

…

At Ulquiorra's cave.

Ulquiorra had been completely healed from his injury. He looked at the book Ichigo gave him. He looked at it for a long time before he shook his head.

"This isn't what I wanted. How could something like this tell me, What the heart is?"

"You want to know what the heart is?"

Ichigo looked at Ulquiorra. He didn't know whether he wanted to know about it in anatomical terms or in philosophical terms. But Ichigo knew that this information was important to him and that he could benefit from it.

"I know what the heart is. But it was very important information. It was very expensive, so do you really want to know?"

Ulquiorra observed Ichigo. He knew when someone was lying to him, and Ichigo wasn't. He thought about it a little bit, then nodded. He didn't know how much he would give to him, but if he could tell him what the heart was, he was willing to pay any price as it could give him a breakthrough.
