After time resumed its flow.
Two minutes later, Sato Akane realized the machine wasn't working.
"Wait a moment, Kurosaki-kun," Sato Akane said.
Sato Akane stood up and walked over to one of her companions.
"Hey, Chen, come and check this machine. I think it's not working," Sato Akane whispered to one of the men in black suits.
But for Ichigo, whispering was like talking out loud.
"Yes," said the man in black.
A few minutes after examining the machine, Chen said, "It looks like it's broken. I can't open the device to check the inside. After all, I don't know how to repair this machine."
"What a problem. There's nothing we can do. We'll have to postpone the investigation for now," Sato Akane said, ruffling her hair.
"Well, Kurosaki-kun, Nasa-kun, Nia-chan, and Shuuko-chan, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to ask your questions."
"But don't be sad. In a few days, you'll be in your new home," Sato Akane smiled and spoke affectionately.
The four children nodded.
After watching Sato Akane and her men leave the room, Ichigo leaned back in his chair.
With a burst of invisible lightning, Ichigo emerged from his body.
He was wearing a black Shinigami outfit, his Zanpakuto in its Shikai state on his back.
Without anyone noticing, Ichigo used Shunpo at incredible speed to destroy the microphones and security cameras in less than 5 seconds.
Using Hakuda techniques (close combat), Ichigo shattered the ceiling enough to cause it to collapse in 10 seconds.
In the remaining 10 seconds, Ichigo returned to his body and said,
"Everyone, hug me tight!" Ichigo said as he pulled Nia into his arms.
Nasa and Shuuko, startled by the sound of the cameras exploding and the ceiling suddenly breaking, didn't hesitate and hugged Ichigo tightly.
With only 3 seconds left before the ceiling collapsed, one of the men accompanying Sato Akane broke through one of the walls where Ichigo and his friends were.
When the man tried to run and get them out of the room, the ceiling finally collapsed, burying everyone present.
Or so it seemed.
Inside the pocket dimension where the Library of Knowledge is located.
Ichigo, Nasa, Nia, and Shuuko emerged before a small girl with long, cream-colored hair styled in two spiral/drill-shaped pigtails, blue eyes with a pink butterfly pattern in the center, and a sweet appearance; she wore a pink ruffled dress, purple and pink striped tights, butterfly shoes, a small crown, and a shawl tied in front. Her appearance was fixed, around 11-12 years old.
If it's Beatriz from Re:Zero.
Kurosaki Ichigo's POV.
After using the Quincy's Shadow ability to bring Nasa and the others to the Library of Knowledge, he heard a neutral, distant, and condescending voice:
"Hey, you're four hours late to the Library of Knowledge."
"Hello, Beatriz, how are you? Sorry, but I had to take care of some problems."
"Yes, I see the problems you're referring to." "Beatriz says, looking at Nia, Nasa, and Shuuko, who are unconscious on the floor.
"Partly yes and partly no. The problem is this. I tell Beatriz—or rather, I transfer to her—my memories about our parents' deaths, my encounter with the planet's consciousness, and my responsibilities." "Now you understand."
"That's a big problem. And what do you plan to do right now?"
"My plan is quite simple. Based on my experience reading fanfiction, reincarnators always have an arrogance toward the people of the world they reincarnate into, especially the Chinese. They also have a possessiveness toward the women they know from their past lives. You understand the plan now."
"Of course not. You're just giving me information I already know." I say nothing and continue looking at Beatriz. "Don't tell me you're going to use me as bait for that illegal reincarnator."
" "Of course, after all, I created you with the same appearance and personality as the artificial spirit Beatriz, created by Echidna, the Witch of Greed." That's right, Ichigo created Beatriz thanks to the Library of Knowledge, which contains all the knowledge of the anime world. And due to Echidna's research on how to create artificial spirits, Ichigo was able to create Beatriz.
"No way, I won't let you use me as bait. Who do you think I am?"
"Come on, Beatriz, I'll give you a reward if you help me with this mission."
"Fine, but only this once, don't forget." Beatriz replies with a tsundere attitude, but her eyes light up with happiness. "I want you to create the Beast of the End, Puck."
"Alright, but right now I don't have the ability to create Puck. After all, Puck can freeze the entire world at his maximum power."
" "Okay, I can wait a little while for my reward," Beatriz said, pride in her voice. "And what do we do with these three children?"
"They're just unconscious from being transported through the shadows for the first time. Just let them sleep peacefully."
"You're going to leave them lying there?"
"No, just teleport them to the rooms inside the library."
"As you wish." Beatriz raises her hand, and three magic circles teleport them to different rooms.
"Come on, Beatriz, our next target is the Asian continent, China."
Asian continent, China, Beijing.
Third-person point of view.
In a state-of-the-art black car, a young man of about 25 years old with black hair and black eyes, wearing a black suit, can be seen.
The young man is handsome, too handsome compared to an average person.
This person is the illegal reincarnation and Ichigo Kurosaki's assassination target.
The young man arrives at a huge mansion and enters with a proud stride.
"Soon, very soon, my plans will be completed," Wu Lei thinks proudly.
—System, what is the estimated time for the spiritual energy resurrection to occur with the spiritual energy acceleration reward?
[The original time for spiritual energy resurrection was 6 years, but thanks to the host using the 10x greater acceleration ticket, the estimated time is 219 days.]
—So, in just 7 months I can become the strongest person in the world and make China the strongest country in the world.
—To resolve the grudges that my compatriots couldn't resolve in my previous life, in this life, as soon as the spiritual energy is resurrected, we will deny all aid to Japan, and if possible, we will send some powerful monsters to destroy Japan.
As Wu Lei walked toward the gate inside the parking lot leading into the mansion, a system notification made him stop.
[Warning: A spatial fluctuation was detected on the other side of the gate.]
"What do you mean by a spatial fluctuation?"
[According to my scan, there's a small pocket dimension that can be accessed through any random door in this mansion.]
[And right now, the door in front of you is the current entrance to that pocket dimension.]
Wu Lei was a little surprised, then smiled confidently.
"It's probably Beatrice from the world of Re:Zero. It doesn't surprise me; after all, this world mixes many worlds." His voice sounded arrogant, and without hesitation, he opened the door.
Upon opening the door, Wu Lei saw a little girl, about 11 or 12 years old, with long, cream-colored hair styled in two spiral pigtails (drills), large blue eyes with a pink butterfly design in the center, wearing a pink ruffled dress, striped tights, and matching shoes, adorned with ribbons and a small crown. She was holding a book in her hands.
'As expected of me, I guessed correctly. It's little Betty,' he thought, even more proudly.
"Huh? Who are you? How did you get in?"
Wu Lei, setting aside his arrogance, said in a calming voice, "I'm the person you've been thinking about, Beatriz." 'With these words, I'll gain her trust,' he thought.
Without a word, Beatriz placed her book on the stool beside her.
Beatriz walked calmly toward Wu Lei.
Wu Lei's hand was extended toward Beatriz, waiting for her to take it.
And just as Wu Lei had imagined, Beatriz raised her hand and took his.
"Don't worry, from now on you won't be alone and..." But before he could finish speaking, Beatriz suddenly absorbed his spiritual power, leaving him completely drained.
In less than five seconds, Wu Lei was unconscious.

Please give me power stones for more chapters; that motivates me a lot.
My goal is to be at least in the top 150 or 200 of the power stone rankings.
