In the early morning, office workers and students step out of their homes one after another and crowd into every corner of the city, making the city extremely noisy at this moment.
But not all places are so lively. Urahara Store, which is only one street away from the main road, has a very deserted path outside the store. It takes a long time before an old man with heavy steps appears walking in front of the store.
But even these old people walking would not take a look at Urahara Store.
In front of Urahara Store, there was a little boy with red hair, waving the broom in his hand and chasing the little girl with two pigtails.
"Who's afraid of an idiot like Tessai...I only sweep the floor because I want to, not because he...huh?"
The broom raised by the little boy stopped him in mid-air. No matter how hard he tried, he could not swing it at all, as if he was caught by an invisible hand.
"Tsk tsk tsk, we really have an honored guest here."
The sliding door of the store slowly opened, and two men, one tall and one short, came out. The shorter one who spoke was none other than Urahara Kisuke.
"Jintai, Xiaoyu, stop making trouble."
The sturdy man next to him scolded the noisy second child: "Get ready to welcome the distinguished guests."
"yes."
The little girl, who was called Xiao Yu, nodded, while the little boy looked at the broom suspended in mid-air. He saw that a hand had grasped the broom at some point, and behind the broom was a human head.
That's right.
It's a human head.
The figure of the visitor seemed to be hidden by the refracted light, with only one hand and head exposed.
"Little red hair, you can't bully girls casually."
Duan Mu met the eyes of the two children, smiled gently, and then let go of the broom.
"cut."
Jinta took back the broom, curled his lips and said, "I don't want to be educated by an adult who runs around in the street."
"..."
The corners of Duan Mu's eyes twitched slightly, and the smile on his face could not be maintained at this moment.
Well...he is still a child...there is no need to argue with him. At most, he can just be more careful when he gets to Soul Society!
"Jinta, don't talk nonsense."
Kisuke Urahara scolded him, then he opened the store door and made a gesture of invitation: "Boss Duanmu, please come in and have a rest first. You must be very tired now after staying in a place like Hueco Mundo for a month."
?”
"Store Manager Urahara's information is as well-informed as ever."
Duan Mu chuckled, not feeling the slightest surprise.
Because although this guy is in the present world, he is fully aware of the trends in Soul Society, and it is normal to know that he is trapped in Hueco Mundo during this period.
but……
Duanmu observed Urahara Kisuke carefully, and a look of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
Isn't it really him?
Since he had just arrived in Hueco Mundo, he encountered Arronillo and Nnoitra one after another. He had never had any conversation with the Fujiwara siblings, so even now, Duan Mu does not know why the brothers and sisters were trapped in Hueco Mundo.
.
Although he had a chance to take the two of them away during the half-minute he controlled Nnoitra, he was able to hide his presence and avoid Nnoitra's detection loop, but it was impossible for them and their siblings, and they had no choice but to give up in the end.
to save two people.
Before leaving Hueco Mundo, Duan Mu tried to search, but could not find the slightest trace of the two brothers and sisters. If nothing unexpected happened, the two brothers and sisters should have been killed by Nnoitra as a prop to vent their anger.
Although it is not clear why the Fujiwara siblings were trapped in Hueco Mundo.
But one thing Duanmu can be sure of is that when he first arrived in Hueco Mundo, someone was always secretly observing him. It was not until the end of his battle with Nnoitra that he concealed his aura and escaped, and that vague sense of surveillance was revealed.
Completely disappear.
During the month that Duan Mu was in Hueco Mundo, the reason why he chose to conceal his existence was not only to guard against Aizen, but also because of the inexplicable sense of surveillance.
There are not many people who can monitor Hueco Mundo, and the one in front of me is Urahara Kisuke.
However, when he saw Urahara Kisuke, Duan Mu had a vague feeling that the person spying on him was probably not Urahara Kisuke.
…
After entering the store, Duan Mu walked directly into the back room of the store and replaced the tattered cloak that Tiruti gave him with a new set of black work clothes.
After putting on the loose work clothes and black boots, Duan Mu felt extremely comfortable all over his body.
"How does it feel?"
Urahara Kisuke looked at Duan Mu walking out of the back room, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and said with a strange smile: "Don't just treat it as a consumable this time."
Consumables?
Duan Mu, who had just walked out of the back room, was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned dark.
"Now that I've discovered it, as a partner, shouldn't you come and help me?"
I only used the black overalls given by Urahara Kisuke as a consumable once, and that was when I was fighting Ginjo Kūgo.
"Boss Duan Mu, have you forgotten that I am a "most wanted criminal" in Soul Society??"
Urahara Kisuke held on to the brim of his hat: "The last time you fought with those two Perfectionists, both the supervision team and the Technology Development Bureau focused their attention on you alone. In that case, I could only choose
I'm just sitting back and watching." After that, he chuckled: "Besides, with your strength, Boss Duan Mu, I believe you will be able to survive."
"Haha~~"
Duan Mu chuckled, and sat cross-legged on the tatami with his shoes on. Grizzly Tessai on the side saw this and subconsciously wanted to stop him, but then he remembered that this set of clothes, including the shoes, were all brand new... even if they were worn on the tatami.
There is no problem on the tatami.
"Of course, in order to prevent you, Boss Duanmu, from encountering the same incident as last time, in addition to the one you are wearing, I also made five additional sets of replacement costumes for you." Urahara Kisuke paused for a moment, with a look on his face.
Smiling evilly: "However, according to the contract, Boss Duan Mu, you need to provide me with some more research materials."
Research materials…
Duan Mu's eyes twitched, why did this sound so awkward?
"Don't worry, I'll give it to you later."
Duan Mu did not refuse, and turned to ask about another purpose of coming here: "Since you know that I went to Hueco Mundo, you should also have some understanding of why I went to Hueco Mundo."
"certainly."
"What's going on with the Fujiwara siblings?"
"Five extra blood."
"I don't want to bargain with you, one for each person. You tell me how the brothers and sisters went to Hueco Mundo, and I will provide you with two extra copies of blood. Anyway, my commission failed this time, and tracing the cause is not part of my commission.
."
"make a deal!"
A smile suddenly broke out on Urahara Kisuke's face, and then his tone changed and he said with a somewhat serious expression: "I don't know what happened, because when I went to investigate afterwards, someone had already cleaned up the scene, and I was still there.
Traces of space freezing detected."
"The so-called space freezing refers to the frozen area. No matter what happens, it will not cause damage to the surrounding environment, and no breath will escape. In addition, the incident occurred 22km away from Karakura Town.
Kameno City, so when the incident happened, even I didn’t notice anything strange.”
Duan Muxu said with eyes: "Can such a well-known thing be called intelligence?"
"Well, well, listen to me."
Urahara Kisuke waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although I went a little late, I still used some special methods to restore some spirit child residues."
recovery?
When Duan Mu heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
If it were to collect the remnants of spirit children, he would not have such a big reaction, but restoration... As the name suggests, it is to reunite the dissipated spirit children by unknown means. This kind of thing even in Soul Society
Even the Technology Development Bureau may not be able to do it.
Moreover, it was still in this world where the spirit son was weak.
Sure enough, we still can't let down our guard against this guy.
"Although there are not many samples, according to my analysis, it was found that in addition to the soul samples of the God of Death and Hollow, there was also a very special spirit sample at the scene." Urahara Kisuke said this, looked up at Duan Mu and said: "Then
The owner of the spirit sample, Boss Duan Mu, is no stranger to you. He is the perfect master who you had brief contact with the last time you came to this world."
"A Perfectionist?"
Duan Mu frowned slightly, and the fog of doubt in his heart not only did not dissipate, but instead became more intense.
He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that this matter would actually involve a Perfectionist.
Are they Ginjo Kugo and the others?
wrong!
Although Ginjo Kūgo is quite strong, under the pursuit of Soul Society, he is just a street rat. It is already very difficult to just hide his traces. He is not qualified or able to plan such a sophisticated plan.
Although this incident happened in this world, all signs indicate that high-level officials from the Soul Society were secretly involved.
and……
The status of this senior executive must be extremely high!
Because whether he was issuing a space freezing order or guiding the Golden Seal Society to find him, he knew the Forty-sixth Chamber of Zhenyang very well and knew that the Forty-sixth Chamber would not launch a secret maneuver for the sake of two noble members. In addition, he was able to monitor his body.
Myself in Hueco Mundo...
No matter what, it is not something Gincheng Kūgo can do.
But except for Ginjo Kūgo and his group, Duan Mu could not find any information about the Perfection Jutsu practitioners except Ginjo Kūgo and his group, even if he searched through all his memories.
"I have finished sharing the information in my hand. I wonder if you, Mr. Duan Mu..."
Urahara Kisuke looked directly at Duan Mu and said in a solemn tone: "Can you tell me your experience in Hueco Mundo?"
"sure."
Duan Mu chuckled: "Three sets of super-light transfer piles or..." Duan Mu turned his head and looked at Xi Ling Te Zhai aside, and said softly: "This former leader of the ghosts, stopped time and space transfer.
Teach me two forbidden arts."
"I advise you not to use forbidden magic."
Niryo Tessai shook his head: "This forbidden technique that will cause chaos in Soul Society's time and space will be discovered by Mao 46th Chamber once it is used, and you will end up with the same fate as us."
For Duan Mu to know his identity, Wai Ling Te Zhai was not surprised at all.
Because strictly speaking...
This young man can be said to be Mr. Urahara's successor. He is now the captain of the Third Covert Mobile Team and the Supervision Team. It is not easy to access the information of these wanted criminals.
"Can't you hide the fluctuations of the cast?"
"no way."
Grizzly Tessai shook his head: "What is affected is not the local space, but the world of Soul Society itself. That kind of influence can never be hidden."
"Then let's use three sets of transfer piles."
Duan Mu nodded when he heard the words. He couldn't use them after learning them, so there was no need to learn them. Anyway, he had already mastered some spatial skills that had no negative effects, but they were just inconvenient to use.
If the side effects are really what Griry Tessai said, then even if there is no prohibition in Room 46, Duan Mu will not use it at will.
In comparison, transfer piles are more useful.
In this way, he can quickly travel through the East, South, and North Rukongai. In the future, when he has nothing to do, he can also go to other areas to receive some commissions, earn some experience points, and make friends with the Shinigami from each department.
and……
After this incident, Duan Mu discovered that there were still many unexplored mysteries about the Seireitei that he thought he knew very well.
He wanted to make his hometown, the network of Rukongai, as strong as possible.
The water in Seireitei is really too deep, and there are countless monsters hidden in the water. Compared to this, Rukongai is a paradise in terms of safety.
"no problem!"
Urahara Kisuke agreed very readily: "However, this is something created by Captain Niryuri. I probably need to study it for a while, and then I will find a way to send the transfer pile to Miss Kūkaku."
"Seven sets of clothes should also be sent along with the transfer pile."
Duanmu nodded, and then informed Urahara Kisuke of what he encountered after arriving in Hueco Mundo, as well as the information about Arronillo and Nnoitra. He would also carry out this information after returning to Soul Society.
Report, it will not be difficult for Urahara Kisuke to find out when the time comes.
In Duan Mu's opinion, exchanging this kind of soon-to-be-publicly known information for three sets of transfer piles was a hugely profitable deal.
However, regarding Tiruti, he will not reveal it to either Urahara Kisuke or Soul Society.
He just said that after barely escaping, he recuperated for half a month, then searched for nearly half a month, and finally killed a void after it tore the space, and used the void it opened to return to the living world.
After exchanging information, Duan Mu glanced at Urahara Kisuke, who had a brooding look on his face, stood up and said: "I have to leave. This time is different from the last time. If my breath disappears for too long after I come back, it is very likely to cause trouble."
Come to doubt."
"rest assured."
Urahara Kisuke smiled and said: "I have already prepared for this. When you came here, I had already used the spiritual pressure you left last time to let 'you' wait at the Sakura Nature Park when you came to this world last time.
, it will take about ten minutes from catching your breath to opening the boundary gate to cross the boundary."
"And exactly 6 minutes have passed since you entered my store. From a time perspective, it is still extremely abundant."
Duan Mu was stunned when he heard the words, and subconsciously released his senses, and found that it was exactly what Urahara Kisuke said...
At this time, my reiatsu reaction was in the Sakura Nature Park.
"Thank you."
Duan Mu thanked him. Although he only disappeared for a few minutes and it was not difficult to deal with it, the place he was in was too special. Urahara Kisuke's measures could save him a lot of trouble.
Although there was plenty of time, Duanmu did not continue to stay at the Urahara store.
Anyway, the purpose of coming here has been achieved, and since Yoruichi is not in the store, there is no point in staying there except chatting with the newly born little loli to increase his favorability.
After arriving at Sakura Nature Park, Duanmu's spiritual pressure aura immediately dissipated, and Duanmu released his own spiritual pressure at the same time.
About three minutes passed.
The void opened like a door, and black-clothed and masked figures emerged from it, surrounding Duan Mu.
"Duan Mu, come with us."
Broken Bee's cold voice came from the boundary crossing gate, but he did not walk out of the boundary crossing gate, but stood in the boundary and waited for Duan Mu to come.
Seeing this, Duan Mu's frowned brows relaxed.
Because even though Broken Bee's tone was cold, it was obviously not a gesture to arrest him. Otherwise, with Broken Bee's character, he would rush out of the boundary gate immediately before Xing Jun and block his escape path, instead of what he is doing right now.
Stand in the middle of the boundary gate and let yourself go by yourself.
This has implicitly expressed her attitude to Duan Mu.
and……
Oh Maeda, this idiot, was standing behind Shattered Bee, winking at him, as if telling himself not to be nervous.
However, after being glared at by Broken Bee, he quickly turned his head to the side.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Duan Mu smiled slightly at the Xing Jun around him, and all the Xing Jun shook their heads subconsciously, but then realized that they should not respond now, and they all froze in place with their heads tilted.
"Captain Shatterbee."
Duan Mu stepped into the world-traversing gate, stood behind Shattered Bee and said, "I have some information about Hueco Mundo that I need to report to you."
"We'll talk about it after we get back. Now the captain's meeting has been held. You can accompany me to the first team later and report to the meeting at the meeting."
Captains meeting?
Duan Mu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became a little strange, even though he had already expected that he would be asked about his experience in Hueco Mundo when he came back.
But he really didn't expect that the Gotei 13 would actually hold a captain meeting because of him. No wonder Zombie Bee would come to the world to pick him up in person with such an arresting attitude.
