Chapter 23 The Bizarre Adventure of Jingle Chunshui
A challenge ended as usual. Although there were some disturbances, Mole City didn't take it particularly seriously.
The defeated Jinchuan was buried like the God of Death who had failed in the previous challenge, waiting for the day when he would completely transform into a spirit and dissipate.
As usual...
That's it.
No one knew that Jinchuan's body had been replaced by someone else not long after it was buried...
Apart from……
Kyoryaku Spring Water...
In the darkness, Shunsui's figure emerged from the shadow of the wall. He looked at the guard Tsunayashiro who dug out Tsukawa's body and couldn't help but frown.
Then, follow quietly...
Shunsui's Zanpakuto Katen Kuangko possesses an ability called "Shadow Ghost", which is expressed in the form of being able to enter the shadow. It can be said that among the current Thirteen Teams, there is no one that is easier to track than this.
ability.
He quietly entered the shadows again. After so many days of surveillance, he knew that the Tsunayashiro family was indeed doing something shady, and tracked it to the mountains on the outskirts of Rukongai.
He discovered a huge base there, but never entered it.
Because the base was covered with a layer of strange power that seemed to be able to detect spiritual pressure, Chunshui didn't dare to confirm whether he could sneak in.
But today is a good opportunity...
Now that they have dug up the body of Vice Captain Jinchuan, all they need to do is sneak into his shadow.
After all, it is impossible for the mixed reiatsu of him and Vice-Captain Tsugawa to be detected by the defense mechanism.
With his strength, it is more than enough to deceive two mere guards who are not even tenth-level officers...
So he quickly entered the shadow of Vice Captain Jinchuan, and through the shadow he saw that the two of them were indeed walking towards the mountains.
"Tsunayashiro Tokinada...you should be in there..."
In the shadow, Chun Shui murmured
He and Tsunayashiro Tokinada were of the same generation, and were students of the same class when they were at Mao Spiritual Arts Academy.
Although compared to him and Ukitake, Tsunayashiro Tokinada was as silent as a shadow in the class, Shunsui could still see Tokinada's dark heart.
Especially when he later heard that Tokinada had married an ordinary woman from Rukongai, this made him even more concerned.
Sure enough, not long after their marriage, news came that Tokinada's wife had passed away...
perhaps……
You can know the truth here...
Finally, when entering this huge building complex, a strong light suddenly flashed in the sky, and a strange sound was made when Vice Captain Jinchuan was detected.
However, the two guards didn't pay attention. They brought Jinchuan here from the outside world, so naturally he would not be recognized by the defense system here.
"Since the big fire decades ago, Billmark's defense has become more and more troublesome."
One of the guards complained, "Obviously the test results have come out, but it was the internal strife caused by the fat guy who drank too much, which led to the explosion in the laboratory."
"Don't say that." Another guard whispered, "After all, we have lost an important experimental subject, so it is natural for the people above to be angry."
"Forget it, put this guy in Building 3 quickly, and get out of this hellish place. To be honest, every time I come to Billmark, I feel like I'm entering a big mouth."
"Daxu is much cuter than Bill Mark." The guard walking behind showed a look of fear on his face.
"In Bill Macri, even death cannot find peace..."
"Forget it, let's talk less... I don't know how many people are watching here. There is no need to risk your own life when doing things for the nobles."
The two of them were talking outside, then entered a building, and then dumped Jinchuan's body in a dark house.
"This guy is quite special. He is actually in a room alone."
"This guy is the vice-captain, and I heard that according to the monitoring situation at the time, he burst out with extremely abnormal ghost hand power. I guess some big shots will come in and search soon, right?"
Chun Shui, who was hiding in the shadow of Jinchuan, listened to the voices in his ears becoming increasingly blurry, and then remembered everything they said before.
Quietly getting out, in the dark room, only the dim light outside could still reflect the slight shadow of Jinchuan, Chunshui stood on it and touched his chin.
This time, he was not wearing a cheap floral robe and kimono, but only a black death suit, so he was not conspicuous in the dark.
He quietly entered the corridor, under the light but no one was guarding him. He looked at the other rooms, and then slowly opened the door.
As expected, there were corpses inside the door, some of them were dead and some were hollow...
Although it is said that the corpses of the gods of death and hollows will turn into souls and dissipate after a period of time, there are still soul fragments left behind in a short period of time.
And if Shunsui saw it correctly... there were even some Quincy corpses...
"These guys..."
Chun Shui frowned tightly
The five nobles now are not as aloof as before. If he took these things to report to the Tsunayashiro family, it would be enough for them to be punished to a certain extent.
It's just...it won't be too serious.
After all, if they just collected some corpses, even if they had bad intentions, it wouldn't be a big deal.
And even if he could find more evidence, the process of walking through Room 46 according to the rules would not convict Tsunayashiro.
because……
According to the law, investigating the five nobles is against the law, and evidence obtained in violation of the law will not be recognized.
Even if he has Liang Yue's authorization, he can only protect himself...
"I hate doing these troublesome things the most..."
After viewing the two floors, he jumped from the window on the second floor and went directly into the shadow of a wall.
When he came out again, he had reached the corner of another building. Using the shadows cast by the moonlight as a stepping stone, he came inside.
"How's it going on the 16th?"
"It still has a strong repulsive effect. It's a pity that the only perfect experimental subject was lost in the fire, otherwise we wouldn't have been stuck at this progress for so long."
"The pure souls of the Shinigami, Hollows and Quincy can already be perfectly fused with your skills, but once the power of transfer or the power of ghost hands is added, the originally perfect souls will collapse! It's really abominable.
!”
Unlike the previous corpse parking place, this building was quite noisy. Chun Shui poked his head out and saw a large number of experimenters wearing white coats and crow masks.
They seemed to be troubled by a certain problem. Chunshui wondered whether they were trying to create a new body that combined the Ghost Hands of the Death God Hollow Quincy and the power of transference?
This is incredible!
Each of these things will produce extremely strong repulsion. Fusion of two is incredible enough. Fusion of five is something only a madman among madmen would come up with!
Chun Shui noted down the voices of these people, and when he was about to go to other places to have a look, the staff suddenly became quiet.
Chun Shui stopped, held his breath and turned around to take another look, and then saw a man in particularly strange clothes. He had yellow eyes and wore a black and white mask.
When he walked in, all the researchers stopped talking.
The head of this laboratory? Or the head of the whole 'Billmark'?
Chun Shui was a little curious and quickly stretched out his ears to eavesdrop on what this man had to say.
"I really can't believe that Tsunayashiro, who is one of the top five nobles in any case, would let you, who are so incompetent, assist me!"
His first words shocked Shunsui. He was clearly in the testing ground of the Tsunayashiro family, but someone actually dared to speak like that?
And those experimenters not only did not use the reputation of the Tsunayashiro family to push back, but actually stood there like mice, pretending to listen to the teachings.
"Why are you so angry?"
What surprised him the most was what was behind him. Chun Shui's eyes widened. He saw that the space behind the guy with the black and white face suddenly distorted, and out of the distortion came out a figure covered in a black cloak, hiding his figure in the darkness.
woman!
It's that woman!
It must be that woman!
The moment Shunsui saw her, he concluded that she must be the culprit who framed Kuchiki Hibiki and killed Kariyashiki in a sneak attack!
As expected, she is collaborating with the Tsunayashiro family!
What are they doing? What are they going to do?!
"Hmph! I hope the soul of the vice-captain you saw is really qualified to withstand the power of transfer!" Nie was still a little afraid of this mysterious woman, but she wanted him to speak nicely.
Impossible.
"Isn't this all because of your incompetence?" However, Alice would not coddle him, she chuckled.
"After all, the little girl who can perfectly combine the power of transfer and the power of ghost hands disappeared under your noses."
"If you want to talk about it...the reason why the current progress is so slow is because..."
She suddenly stopped while she was talking, and then said coldly, "Huh? Who is it?"
Chun Shui was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head and hid in the shadow. The next moment he saw Alice raise her hand, and then the space he was in was completely distorted, and the walls along the way seemed to not exist.
"Another little mouse broke in?" He didn't see any figure through the wall, but Nie still trusted Alice's ability, and he smiled.
"Really, it seems that my Experimental Subject No. 17 and No. 18 will soon have materials!"
"..." Alice was silent for a moment, then retracted her slender fingers
"Going to Laboratory No. 1, we can no longer let important experimental subjects 'disappear' inexplicably."
As soon as she said this, Nirvana became a little nervous. Not only did Tsunayashiro's experimental body no longer exist in Laboratory No. 1, but his own crystals were also stored in it!
That is something you absolutely cannot miss!
Chun Shui, who wanted to leave, suddenly stopped when he heard these words. Laboratory No. 1...
It’s important to hear it!
And to make this mysterious woman and the black-and-white-faced weirdo so nervous, it must be the core of this testing ground!
As Alice and Nie left, the Biermark Proving Ground suddenly began to boil.
The sounds of footsteps and sirens are heard constantly, a large number of defensive personnel are patrolling the outside quickly, and a large number of lights are turned on, making the place illuminated almost like daylight!
"That's just right!"
What they can't possibly know is that Chun Shui has the ability to enter shadows. Turning on the light will only make the shadows more numerous and make his actions more convenient!
He paid attention to the direction in which the two people were leaving, then began to move continuously, and soon came to a blocked gate.
The place is lush and green, with tall green grass. It doesn't look like a laboratory at all.
And the area inside is also very large, almost as long as a street, and there is a door at the end of the road.
And there is no light inside, only a little moonlight shining little by little shadows, but even the farthest shadow is still close to half the distance from the far door.
Chunshui wanted to get out of the shadow, and then use Shunpo to quickly run into the second door, but just when he was about to activate the shadow ghost ability, he suddenly felt a heart palpitation.
The heart is beating rapidly...
He stopped the shadow ghost...
He had a hunch just now that once he entered it, then...
Maybe I'll never come out again...
He took a deep breath, and then his eyes gradually became firm...
He entered a shadow in the courtyard, but it was not the farthest one, but the closest one.
The next moment, he began to feel lucky for his caution...
Because he had just transferred into this shadow, he saw countless people appearing in the outside world...
Bloodthirsty eyes...
Eyes opened one after another from the green grass. Chun Shui looked at them and was slightly startled.
This is……
Pure blood-red cat demons, their hair is red, their nails are pointed, and most importantly, they seem to be able to feel themselves in the shadow, and they stare at themselves with the erect devil eyes.
location!
Moreover, he is still walking towards him!
"The bloodthirsty cat demon is extremely sensitive to the power of blood...even if they are not in the same space..."
The woman from before appeared in the courtyard again. She stared at the place where the cat demon was looking and said slowly
"So, you have nowhere to escape, the intruder..."
She raised her hand again, and then the shadow of the space where Chun Shui was located began to distort. He only felt that there was a force pulling him out and running out!
not good!
Chun Shui knew that he had fallen into a trap, but his identity could never be discovered. Fortunately...
He was already prepared!
The moment before going out, he took out a mask from his waist. It was engraved with simple and heavy devil patterns, which looked completely insulated from Kyōraku Shunsui.
"Discovered!"
The moment he appeared, he saw that the hairs of those cat demons were all popping up, and drool even flowed from the corners of their mouths!
There are more and more violent, wild, and bloodthirsty cat monsters, covering almost the entire field of vision.
"Who are you?"
Hearing the woman's question, Chun Shui smiled slightly
"I am the devil in hell, the order in the shadows. My name will not be told to you, but you can call me..."
