In a space that looked like a subway station, a group of people were speeding along under the leadership of Unohana Retsu.

"It's really weird here."

Duan Mu looked back behind him. When they first entered this passage, he glanced at the entrance, but when he looked, the entrance had been replaced by endless darkness.

When the boundary gate is not opened, this passage seems to have no beginning...and no end.

“Indeed, even though I’ve been here a few times, I still feel very intrusive every time I come here.”

Ohmaeda on the side nodded in agreement, and then asked with some confusion: "By the way, didn't you come with the Fourth Division? Why didn't you come with the Fourth Division and instead came to our queue?

?”

"……Leave me alone."

The corner of Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly. Why didn't he want to be like Kotetsu Yongin, following closely behind Uozhihua Lie, taking the opportunity to communicate with the other party...

But as soon as Duan Mu gets close to him, he will remember the scene in front of the boundary gate, which makes him instinctively want to stay away from that gentle and beautiful monster.

Compared with following Uozhihua Lie around, secretly maneuvering these professional killers made Duan Mu feel more secure!

"I don't know why, but your expression makes me inexplicably unhappy!?"

Ohmaeda twitched the corner of his mouth, looking at Duan Mu's expression of "I feel at ease following you", he always felt that his profession had been insulted...

"It's definitely your illusion." Duan Mu said, looking at the dark butterfly in front of Ohmaeda, and asked: "Is this the hell butterfly?"

"Oh, you actually know about Hell Butterfly?" Ohmaeda looked surprised.

"I've seen it on the 'Seireite News', but this is the first time I've seen it in person." Duan Mu said, and carefully observed the strange butterfly called the 'Hell Butterfly'.

The aura, which is different from the creatures in the Soul Society, continues to spread to the surroundings.

And the weirdest thing is...

No matter how fast they travel, this little butterfly will always fly in front of everyone, like a guide.

"That's it."

Ohmaeda nodded: "It's normal that I haven't seen the real thing. After all, the number of hell butterflies is rare, and each one is extremely precious. It is also a necessity for the God of Death to go to the human world. Without it... we people will probably only be able to survive when we get to the human world.

There are only a few people left, except for the two captains of the Fourth Division, it is even possible that the whole army will be annihilated."

"In addition to being the guide for Death to the human world, it can also receive the latest instructions and emergency messages issued by the Information Technology Bureau, but it can only receive extremely brief messages."

"BB?"

Duan Mu was slightly startled. He knew very well that the Hell Butterfly could lead the Shinigami to the present world safely, but he didn't pay much attention to the function of receiving information, because most people in the Seireitei used... something similar to

The command machine of the modern 'elderly machine'.

No……

Strictly speaking, it is not even as good as an elderly machine. After all, the elderly machine can also play some small games.

As for the command machine, I don't know if it's because it's afraid that the team members will become stooges. Apart from basic functions such as making calls and receiving messages, it doesn't add any entertainment functions.

"This feeling is worse than commanding a divine machine."

"Uh..." Oh Maeda's mouth twitched slightly: "It is indeed inferior in terms of receiving information, but compared to the command machine, the information transmitted by the Hell Butterfly is more secretive. Only the person who receives the information can know the content of the information.

, unlike the command machine, anyone who gets it can see the information."

"So within the Seireitei, some important information is delivered by the Hell Butterfly and our fifth team, the Ritei Team."

Ohmaeda did not hide anything, and directly informed Duanmu of the information about the Hell Butterfly, which made Kotetsu Yuune in front of the team couldn't help but look back. Although this was not a secret, it was not something that could be done casually.

Explained to outsiders.

And most importantly...

Ohmaeda's introduction was also a bit strange. It was not the secretly mobile fifth detachment, but our fifth detachment. It felt as if Mr. Duanmu was one of his own, and even the criminal soldiers around him were like

I am very familiar with Duan Mu’s appearance.

"We're almost at the exit."

At this moment, Unohana Retsu, who was directly in front of the team, suddenly spoke.

As soon as these words came out, everyone could not help but look solemn.

At the end of the dark passage, a ray of light gradually expanded, making Duan Mu, who had been in darkness for a long time, couldn't help but squint his eyes.

It was a rectangular, door-like exit. Although it was neat, it seemed a bit strange to appear out of thin air in this endless dark passage.

Da da da da~~

As the footsteps disappeared, Duan Mu stood on the ground again and looked back behind him. The dark passage completely disappeared after everyone walked out.

Unlike Soul Society, there are very few spiritual beings in the world, and the air quality is extremely poor. This made Duan Mu, who was accustomed to the Soul Society environment, couldn't help but frown.

The place where everyone appeared was in a forest, but looking south from where Duan Mu was, you could vaguely see a modern city with tall buildings in the distance. Many of the people present were like Duan Mu, and it was their first time in the world.

, when they saw the city in the distance, they couldn't help but talk about it.

"Houses in this world are really tall."

"It looks really nice, but the air smells too bad, and there are so few souls. It feels like rolling in the mud, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Don't let your guard down, don't forget the purpose of our coming to this world!"

"..."

Ignoring the comments around him, Duan Mu felt it silently and then looked deep into the forest.

He felt the conflict of spiritual pressure in that direction. If nothing unexpected happened, that should be the destination of their trip.

Sure enough, as soon as he stood still, Uzhihua Lie, who was at the front of the team, took the lead and walked in the direction Duan Mu was looking, and everyone followed.

Boom boom boom~~

Before anyone could get close, they heard constant roars in the distance. The soldiers of the Fourth Squadron couldn't help but swallow their saliva, with nervous expressions on their faces.

Unlike other divisions, most of the members of the fourth division are partial to science. Not to mention that they have no idea how to use the Zanpakutō. Many of them don't even know how to fight, and they don't know how to fight at all. This has always been the reason.

And was looked down upon by other squads.

"That is……"

"How can it be?"

"So many giant Hollows with strength comparable to the elite Shinigami appeared at the same time?"

"..."

There was a burst of noise. Duan Mu heard the words and walked out of the crowd and looked into the distance. He saw four strange-looking monsters standing in the distance. Each monster was extremely huge. Even a tree several meters high was completely tall.

Their presence cannot be concealed.

And around those monsters, figures like flies were flying up and down. When they got closer, they discovered that they were the gods of death in death uniforms.

Seeing this, everyone speeded up a little faster and arrived nearby in the blink of an eye.

Looking around, what comes into view is an empty open space. Several simple tents have been set up in the open space. There are constant wailing sounds in the open space. It should be a temporary rescue shelter.

"The seventh-level high-level rescue squad will conduct emergency treatment for the injured, and the 25th-level intermediate rescue squad will prepare for transfer and return the injured after emergency treatment to Soul Society."

Uozhihua Lie gave orders in a calm tone, and his extremely calm tone infected everyone. The members of the Fourth Squadron who were originally frightened by the scene in front of them couldn't help but calm down. Under the leadership of each squad leader, they walked toward the simple tents. Go.

The shaking on the ground did not stop at all. Not far from the position, the battle continued, and wounded people were constantly being carried back by their teammates.

"Captain Unohana Retsu."

Gu Lao

When the soldiers stationed at the position saw the arrival of the Fourth Division, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The leader greeted Unohana Retsu and said in a respectful tone:

"Our third team has deployed three layers of defense. The combat members of the first and second lines are constantly changing. The third line of defense is stationed in the position and is responsible for defense. It can ensure that the four giant virtual ones will not come to this area. Please be sure to heal our soldiers."

He said this cautiously, as if he was afraid that the Fourth Division would not treat his teammates. Although he usually looked down on the members of the Fourth Division, on the battlefield, the status of the members of the Fourth Division rose sharply and became the most popular among all. The object that people fight to the death to protect.

Duan Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes. He bullied the members of the Fourth Division every day when he didn't need them, and always left some chores to the Fourth Division. Now when it was needed, he came and begged in a low voice.

Cheap or not!

Uozhihua Lie nodded when he heard the words, turned to look at Huche Yongyin next to him: "Yongyin, you can go too."

"yes!"

Hu Che Yongyin responded and walked directly towards the temporary station. Duan Mu saw this and followed without hesitation.

Although he really wanted to try the difference between fighting a Hollow and fighting a Death, Duan Mu didn't want to expose his existence in front of the Third Division, not to mention that he came here to rescue the injured, not to fight.

When he saw Duan Mu in black overalls walking towards the simple tent, the God of Death who was guarding the tent couldn't help but show doubts on his face. He stopped Duan Mu directly and asked: "Are you..."

"Mr. Duan Mu was invited by me."

Before Duan Mu could reply, Kotetsu Yongin, who was on his way, said, "Although he is not a member of our fourth division, his attainments in returning to the Way are not any weaker than mine."

Kotetsu Yuune, who was in working mode, was completely different from his usual introversion. Every word and every move he made carried the majesty that a deputy captain should have, causing the third division team member who blocked Duanmu to quickly move out of the way.

"Sorry, it's my duty."

"It doesn't matter."
