Now, in the eastern part of Karakura Town, Urahara Shoten.
The black cat jumped down from the big tree outside the window with great dexterity, jumped directly into the room filled with various instruments, and slowly walked towards the figure in the room with elegant steps.
"Kisuke, when did you get the habit of voyeurism?"
The black cat sat next to the man it called 'Kisuke', glanced at the big screen, and said: "And the object of peeping is still a man."
What was shown on the big screen was a young man squatting in front of the bushes, and behind him stood three Gods of Death in Death Tyrant costumes, none other than the four Duan Mu from the West 7th District.
"Hahaha, Ms. Yoruichi's words are really unpleasant." Urahara Kisuke turned the brim of his hat: "I'm just curious about the structure of his body... Hey... I really want to see Soul Society with my own eyes. If it can be cut,
It would be better if you bring back a piece of meat."
"Eh~~~"
Black Cat moved a few steps to the side with a look of disgust, then looked at the big screen with some curiosity and said, "Can you even monitor Soul Society now?"
"The last time he came to the world, I couldn't help it. When he was fighting, I secretly integrated the surveillance bacteria into the spirit sons he absorbed."
Urahara Kisuke looked at the black-haired young man on the screen, his eyes full of inquiry: "However, it is only limited to Nishi Rukongai, which is our stronghold. If he goes to the other three Rukongai, or enters Seoul with the Pure Spirit Wall,
The Ling Ting will become impossible to monitor."
"Fortunately, he lives in Nishi Rukongai, which makes it convenient for me to observe him. However, the existence time of the surveillance bacteria is limited, and I don't know what happened to him a week ago. He suffered a lot in the Seireitei.
Due to the injury, I can only see the picture now, but can’t hear the sound, and even the picture is intermittent.”
"Should I call the police?" Black Cat looked at Urahara Kisuke with disdain: "You actually developed such a thing that can spy on other people's privacy. You really should be put in jail."
"This is not what I studied."
Urahara Kisuke chuckled: "Monitoring bacteria is Nirvana's research result, I just 'borrowed' it."
"...You two are the same as each other."
Black Cat complained, then turned to look at the screen: "Speaking of which, what are they doing?"
"I don't know." Urahara Kisuke shook his head: "I can't receive the sound here, but it seems like he is looking for something."
"Is it moving?"
The black cat said suddenly, and saw that the four people who had been talking on the screen finally started to move, and quickly rushed out in the direction of the mountain.
…
In the mountains on the outskirts of West 7th District, four figures galloped out of the forest quickly.
"How are you sure it's this direction?"
Madarame glanced at Duanmu who was leading the way: "Didn't the person who kidnapped that brat remove all traces?"
"He did remove all traces, but..."
Duan Mu looked into the distance, a strange color flashed in his eyes: "Once my improved 'Slap Toe Chasing Bird' is released, the spiritual pressure net will spread around me over and over again. When it sweeps across the body and spirit
When you press someone, regardless of whether the other person has concealed his own spiritual pressure, the spiritual pressure net will be triggered."
"And among them, if you encounter the spiritual pressure that I have come into contact with, I will be aware of it immediately."
Although it is a failure, this ghost technique was created by Duan Mu in order to deal with the "Kingka Suigetsu". When it was used in the real world, even a grocery store owner hiding in Karakura Town was detected by him.
moment.
but……
The moment he discovered the other party, Duan Mu gave up the investigation, because he always felt that that guy, like Niruri, was one of those extremely dangerous research madmen. If not necessary, he didn't want to be with these two 'you'll never be together'
I don't know what they are doing secretly.
Back to business.
Although the person who kidnapped Xiaojie cleared his own traces, Xiaojie's own spiritual pressure touched Duan Mu's spiritual pressure net. Even though he was interrupted by the person who kidnapped Xiaojie in an instant, Duan Mu also successfully determined the approximate location.
.
only……
A look of hesitation flashed across Duan Mu's eyes.
Do you really want to continue tracking?
Just clearing one's own traces does not explain the opponent's strength, because using spiritual tools can do this, but being aware of one's own search for the first time and instantly interrupting Duan Mu's exploration is not what spiritual tools can do.
It's done.
Given Emeiri's favorable impression of him, Duan Mu would not refuse any request within his ability.
But for a request that exceeded his ability, Duan Mu needed to think carefully about whether it was worth it.
And unlike the time when Yu Erzhong risked his life to accept the commission, he could provide himself with a lot of experience points to enhance his strength.
Even if Emiri's favorability level is increased, she won't get much experience points. Even if it is multiplied ten times after exceeding '60' points, it will only be 160 points. There is no need to take risks for this amount of experience points.
Thinking of this, Duan Mu's steps suddenly stopped.
When the three people behind him saw this, they stopped at the same time. They immediately entered a state of alert and began to observe the surrounding environment.
"Don't be nervous, the other party is not here."
Duan Mu first explained, then faced the doubtful looks of the three people, and continued: "My search has been blocked. Although I can grasp the general direction, there is one thing I must make clear. The person who can block my search in an instant,
There is only one possibility, and that is that the opponent's spiritual pressure is several times stronger than mine!"
The spiritual pressure is several times stronger than Duan Mu!?
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Madarame, Ikkaku and the three others could not help but change.
In terms of spiritual pressure strength alone, Duanmu is in the middle of the pack even among the vice-captains of the Gotei 13, and there is someone whose spiritual pressure is several times stronger than him... a top-level vice-captain? Or should I say captain level!
?
Looking at the expressions of the three people, Duan Mu did not urge them. No matter whether they wanted to continue chasing or not, this point must be informed to the three people.
On the one hand, he asked the three people to be mentally prepared and not to have a contemptuous attitude; on the other hand, he also told the three people in disguise that it was not worth it to fight against the captain-level Shinigami for a child from Rukongai.
In fact, Duan Mu had already speculated on this point before coming, otherwise he would not have brought the three of them.
Although it is impossible to determine the identity of the other party, if they are only a captain, even if the four of them cannot win, there will be no problem in surviving; if Ikkaku and Gongqin are willing to go all out, they may even have the possibility of victory, which is also
Duan Mu’s initial confidence.
However, Duan Mu had only brought the three of them with him with the "minimum plan" before. He did not think that he would encounter captain-level enemies. He just thought that this was a missing person request that he often received.
But now things are developing in the direction of the 'worst plan'...
Coupled with the fact that he realized Xiao Jie's weirdness after arriving here, Duan Mu realized that this matter was beyond his "power".
"I want to keep chasing."
To Duan Mu's surprise... the first one to stand up and express his opinion was Renji Abarai, which made Duan Mu look at him in confusion.
Among the three people, the person who is least familiar with Duanmu is Abarai Renji. Normally, in a situation where he may be hostile to the captain, there is no need for the other party to continue to get involved.
"If you give up the rescue just because the other party may be the captain, knowing that someone has been kidnapped, then this day will always be my nightmare in the days to come!"
Facing Duan Mu's gaze, a complex look flashed in Renji Abarai's eyes: "And I have always had a goal. I am afraid of him from the bottom of my heart, even if I grit my teeth and pursue his back,
But every time, I only dare to look at him from a distance, and I don’t even dare to step on his shadow.”
"So, no matter what, I will continue to pursue it!"
If a wild dog like him who walked out of Rukongai didn't even dare to bite an unknown captain, how could he have the right to catch up with that person?
Madarame glanced at Renji with a smile on his face.
When Renji asked him to teach him how to practice swastika, Madarame Ikkaku already knew his goal.
Although this step was taken too early, he was not surprised at all that Renji would make this choice.
Even though he has always had low self-esteem and regarded himself as a wild dog, he has never lacked the courage to overcome his fear and move forward.
Shaking his head, Madarame glanced at Duan Mu and said simply and directly: "To be afraid of death on the battlefield is simply an insult to a soldier."
Duan Mu curled his lips, did not comment, and turned to the side to bow.
"I have reported the whole story of 'the suspected captain-level Shinigami abducted the spiritually gifted child from Rukongai' to Secret Mobile."
Ayase River personally shook the command machine in his hand: "It involves the captain level, and the covert mobile team attaches great importance to this matter, because the covert mobile side often receives reports of missing Rukongai residents who are 'qualified to become a Shinigami'
reports, but every investigation found nothing.”
"And based on the response from the Secret Maneuver, Mao No. 46 takes similar incidents very seriously. It seems that because it has happened before, it has always been sensitive to it."
After speaking in one breath, Ayase River said in a serious tone: "The reply from the secret maneuver was sent in the name of Captain Broken Bee, which means that the Xing Army under Captain Broken Bee's jurisdiction has been dispatched. Now you are not alone.
It's a private action, even if you don't go, we will continue to investigate."
Ayase River's words made Madarame Ikkaku and Renji Abarai look at Duanmu.
"..." Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly.
It was obvious that these three people originally came here just because of themselves, with the idea of killing time, but now why did they suddenly force me to continue the investigation?
It should be me who decides whether to continue, right?
Duan Mu looked at Ayase River with a dark face and asked, "Do you dare to speak faster?"
Didi, didi, didi...
The bell of the command machine rang again. Ayase Chuan personally looked at the command machine in his hand and said: "This is a message from Captain Broken Bee. She said that she has followed the Tongting Pass you are carrying and asked you to follow her.
Before we come, we must continue to pursue you no matter what!"
After explaining the content of the instruction, Ayase Chuan personally said in a surprised tone: "Why do I feel that Captain Broken Bee is taking this matter too seriously?"
"Um?"
Duan Mu's originally somewhat ugly expression instantly improved a lot, and turned into a look of deep contemplation.
Duan Mu had also received the commission from Yu Erzhong before.
As once said, although Duan Mu restrains himself from causing trouble, when trouble comes to him, the trouble will become a key and unlock the lock called "restraint"; so that Duan Mu will not think about it.
Trying to escape, but using various reasons to convince yourself to face it.
Whether the lock can be unlocked depends on the value of the 'key'.
Duan Mu gritted his teeth slightly and looked at the value of Queen Broken Bee on the system favorability interface. He gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Send a message to Captain Broken Bee and tell her that even if the other party is the captain, I will definitely catch up with him. I hope Broken Bee
The captain can come quickly to support!"
Ayasechuan Xingqin looked at Duan Mu with a strange look, and then followed the instructions.
Seeing this, Duan Mu looked at the favorability interface in his mind again, waiting for the result to arrive.
[Smash Bee's favorability is 1, gain 320 experience points, current favorability: 2]
[Smash Bee's favorability is 1, gain 320 experience points, current favorability: 3]
【……】
[Smash Bee's favorability is 1, gain 320 experience points, current favorability: 7]
The favorability that he had been unable to find a way to increase began to grow, making Duan Mu's eyes light up.
but……
I risked my life, but your favorability only increased by 6 points. Is this a bit too much?
"Walk!"
After saying one word concisely and concisely, Duan Mu stood up and galloped out into the mountains again.
The three of them followed immediately.
…
Didi didi~~
This is a room without any light, but it does not appear dark, because the lights of instruments are flashing throughout the room, and there is a huge display screen in the center of the room.
"Captain Tosen seems to be in trouble."
The voice came from the darkness, filled with a sense of joking, as if he was very happy with the current situation: "With their speed, it is very possible for Captain Dongxian to extract the 'Spirit King Fragment' from the child's body."
Before that, we found the location of Captain Dongxian."
"Besides, the covert maneuver has been launched. Do you want to inform him to withdraw first?"
In front of the screen, a figure stood upright, looking at the big screen in front of him, the shadow of his face reflected by the light slightly curved.
“Very interesting binding path.”
A gentle voice sounded: "However, it's not a trouble yet, it's just an interlude to add interest. Just leave it to us to solve it."
"What if it can't be solved?"
"There is nothing that cannot be solved. The only difference lies in the method used."
…
Xisan District, Lifu Mountain, in a hidden cave.
"The degree of fusion is closer than expected." A murmur came from the dark cave: "It will take at least half an hour to completely extract the fragments."
The words stopped, and the speaker seemed to be hesitating.
Something went wrong with the plan.
He has done this many times to extract the 'Spirit King Fragments' from the spirit body. Although the soul of the person being extracted will be damaged, it will not cause death.
The deputy captain of the 10th Division is the biggest example.
According to the original plan, within a few hours of the child's family rushing to Area 38, he was able to extract the fragments and have enough time to return the child to his original location. Even if someone came to investigate, they would only think that
This child just encountered some danger after being lost, so he is a little weak.
But accidents happened one after another...
First, the child's level of fusion was beyond expectation, which slowed down the extraction speed; and then there was the young man named 'Duan Mu' who noticed too quickly, and because he did not expect the possibility of being discovered, the other party's probing type
The ghost path also caught him off guard.
Unlike that adult, he doesn't like this kind of accident!
