"Next time, please don't go to places like Hueco Mundo randomly."
"Boss Duan Mu, have you eaten yet?"
"..."
After cleaning up the maggot nest, as soon as Duan Mu entered the supervision team building, a noisy greeting came into Duan Mu's ears.
The Supervision Team Building actually looks similar to the Technology Development Bureau in appearance; the buildings in the Seireitei are generally not too tall, but any building that is in this high-rise style and has undergone dustproof treatment and entry warning,
Without exception, they are places equipped with various precision instruments.
Walking in the corridor of the supervision team building, Duan Mu would smile and respond to everyone's greetings. It took nearly ten minutes to reach the supervision section of the supervision team from the entrance of the building.
When he came to the front door, Duan Mu opened the door directly and walked in.
Da da da da~~
As soon as I entered the surveillance section, I was greeted by the sound of typing on the keyboard.
Looking around, I saw that the huge room was dotted with instruments similar to modern computers, but with very different ones scattered throughout the surveillance department. Maps were displayed on those screens.
There is a red dot in the center of the map.
These instruments are provided by the Technology Development Bureau and are used to monitor every supervision object, whether it is a dispatched Shinigami in the present world or a member of the Gotei 13 Team, their location and status will be fed back to these instruments.
"Boss."
The person in charge of the surveillance section was Qing Yuanfang, the deputy captain of the supervision team. When he saw Duan Mu approaching, he immediately greeted him: "Why are you here?"
"Boss Duan Mu, I will pour you tea right now."
"You continue to do your business and don't worry about me."
Duan Mu waved his hand to stop the supervision team member who was about to get up, and said with a smile: "I haven't been here for more than a month, but it seems like I haven't been here for several years." After that, Duan Mu sat down.
On the sofa in the center of the Surveillance Section.
"It's not wrong to say that every day seems like a year."
A female team member smiled and said: "After staying in a place like Hueco Mundo for a month, everyone is worried. Vice Captain Kiyohara has been requesting the commander-in-chief to send a covert maneuver this month to go to Hueco Mundo to welcome you back.
.”
"Thank you."
Duan Mu smiled at Qing Yuanfang next to him: "Is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten since morning."
"Yes~~I have...there are snacks here."
"I have it here too."
"And me~"
"..."
As soon as Duan Mu finished speaking, a small mountain of snacks was placed on the coffee table in front of him.
"Uh...it doesn't need so much."
The corner of Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his hand to the team members who gathered in a circle: "I just need to eat something."
Having said that.
But Duan Mu was really hungry, so he didn't be polite to everyone, picked up the snacks and started eating.
Three days have passed since he returned from Hueco Mundo. During these three days, Duan Mu found that his food intake had increased visibly to the naked eye.
Although he hadn't felt hungry in Hueco Mundo for a month, as soon as he returned to Soul Society, he felt as if he hadn't eaten in months.
However, Duan Mu knew exactly what was going on with this feeling.
Because when you are in Hueco Mundo, although high-concentration spirit seeds can provide the energy needed by the spirit body, this supply is somewhat similar to the 'lightning energy' provided by glucose. Although it can make people clear-headed and full of energy in a short period of time;
After stopping and leaving the Gaolingzi environment, this energy will be consumed quickly, and you will feel hungrier than before.
"Mr. Duan Mu..."
A nervous voice came, and Duan Mu looked up in confusion, only to see a young man standing in front of the coffee table with a pile of snacks in his arms, his face flushed, and his whole person revealed a feeling of embarrassment.
"Who are you……"
Duan Mu was slightly stunned when he saw the young man: "...Ukitake Hiro?"
Hearing Duan Mu call out his name, the young man's face lit up, but then he was staggered by a slap, and the snacks in his arms were scattered on the floor.
Snap——!
A girl stood next to Ukitake Hiroshi and said angrily: "Idiot, what do you call me sir? We are now also a member of the supervision team, so we have to call us boss!!"
"Nagano Kasuhide?"
Duan Mu was stunned again, because the two people in front of him were exactly two of the three noble members he had rescued from Ginjo Kūgo.
Since rescuing the three of them last time, except for Feng Yuanyu who followed the clan rules and joined the Xing Army and met frequently, there has been no news from these two people... If they hadn't appeared in front of him, Duan Mu would have almost forgotten Ukitake Hiro.
Of course, Nagano Kashu Danki will never be forgotten.
after all……
She is the only aristocratic woman whose favorable impression of Duan Mu reaches the full friendship level. Except for those whom she has never met, Duan Mu keeps all the women who have a favorable impression of him firmly in mind, regardless of appearance.
, age, characteristics, preferences...
This is done to avoid lowering the favorability due to not recognizing or calling the wrong name when you see him. Moreover, the Nagano family generally has a good impression of him. After saving Nagano Hanaxiu, he often gives some commissions to him.
Deal with it yourself.
As for Ukitake Hiro...
Duan Mu actually had an impression because he was too weak.
The total experience value provided by a family's favorability is not as high as the experience value provided by one person in the Feng family...
"The two of them actually submitted the application for joining the team together with Feng Yuanyu." Qingyuan Fang on the side said with a smile: "But the two of them are different from Feng Yuanyu. Although Feng Yuanyu has never entered the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy, they can
Due to clan rules, I have received relevant training since I was a child, so after submitting the application, only Feng Yuanyu passed the review."
"It turned out that the two of them were unwilling to give up. Finally, the head of the Nagano family found the Golden Seal Society, hoping to let the two of them work under you. Later, Captain Broken Bee was entangled and had no choice..."
"In addition, although Ms. Nagano Hanashi has not learned Zuken Kizai, she really likes debugging equipment and scientific research. She even received an invitation from the Technology Development Bureau to join the team, and finally sent the two of them to us.
Coming."
"Don't call me Miss La."
Nagano Huaxiu scratched his head, and then said with some anxiety: "Although I came in through the back door, boss, the two of us will definitely work hard and will never cause any trouble to you!"
"Don't be nervous."
Duan Mu looked at the two people who were worried, with a gentle smile on his face: "And you don't have to be so respectful to me. To be honest, I am actually just like you, an ordinary member of the supervision team... No, strictly speaking
I'm not as good as you, I don't have a position, I'm just a temporary worker in the supervision team."
"So you just need to treat me as a friend. This is how everyone gets along with me. I also hope that I can work together easily like a friend. Except for Mr. Qingyuanbo next to me,
We don’t have that many rules.”
"That's right, just respect Boss Duan Mu and keep it in your heart."
"Although Boss Duan Mu is dangerous, he is still very easy to get along with."
"What is danger? Boss Duan Mu just likes to nip danger in the cradle. Those guys killed by Boss Duan Mu are not good people. This is our job."
"Yes, I was wrong."
"..."
Qing Yuanfang looked at the lively atmosphere in front of him and did not stop it, but smiled slightly.
I have to say that since Boss Duan Mu took over the supervision team... Of course, 'taking over' is what they think of it... But no matter what, after Duan Mu came, the atmosphere of the supervision team has changed greatly.
The gloomy faces also became cheerful.
"Thank you, boss!"
The two said in unison, but compared to Ukitake Hiro, Nagano Kasuhide's personality was much more free and easy. In other words, with full friendship points, she and Duan Mu were extremely relaxed when getting along.
"Although I can't guide you in professional work, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to me at any time. I will select a few days every month to test and guide your cultivation. Don't go too far.
Relax."
Duan Mu looked at Ukitake Hiro and said: "Especially you. I saw the last battle. You have a good talent in the ghost path. You can work harder in this direction. Although you will basically not be in danger when working in the surveillance department,
But it’s always good to have more skills at your disposal.”
"Yes, I will definitely work hard to practice!"
Duan Mu nodded and looked at the people in front of him, feeling a little weird in his heart.
Seemingly unknowingly...
It seems that many of the covert maneuvers are my own, I really don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
However, as the captain, there is no way Zhanfeng could not see this. Since she did not stop them and allowed the two of them to join the supervision team, there should be no problem.
Although from beginning to end...
Duan Mu had no plans to do this, but now that it was over, Duan Mu wouldn't stop it.
Anyway, the composition of stealth maneuvers has always been complicated.
Although Zhan Bee has a very high degree of control over covert maneuvers, it can still not be said to be a complete mastery. As far as Duan Mu knows, a considerable number of people in covert maneuvers are under the jurisdiction of the 46th Chamber of Mao, and they will even hide covert maneuvers when necessary.
Commander-in-Chief, take action directly.
Duanmu checked the records of the supervision team and found out that the previous commander-in-chief of covert maneuvers suffered a loss because of this. Room 46 bypassed her and mobilized covert maneuvers, and carried out operations on Urahara Kisuke and others without Yoruichi's knowledge.
Arrested.
Although those members who participated in the arrest mysteriously disappeared due to various reasons after Captain Broken Bee took over, it is impossible that there were no manpower deployed by Room 46 in the secret operations directly under the jurisdiction of Room 46.
In addition to the people placed in Room 46, there are also many killers paid by the nobles in the Xing Army to deal with some shady incidents for the nobles.
Of course, these people are only a minority, and most of them are die-hard loyalists directly cultivated by Zaifeng. Although some of them are loyal to the Sifengyuan family, they are loyal to the Sifengyuan family and loyal to Zaifeng who has the support of the Sifengyuan family.
There is no difference... Anyway, the current head of the Sifengyuan family trusts Sui Feng very much.
It seems that he is completely unafraid that Zhanfeng will reject his family because of his previous head.
However, this is also true. Although Zaihou will show a "hateful" expression when the word "Yorichi" is mentioned, he is extremely friendly to the Sifengyuan family and takes good care of Yoruichi's old subordinates.
Duanmu once saw Zaihou personally visit Ohmaeda's father, the former deputy captain of the second division, as captain during the festival. His attitude was quite respectful and he treated him completely as an old-timer.
Closer to home, judging from the complex composition of covert maneuvers, it is not a bad thing to have some of your own people in covert maneuvers.
Didi didi~~
At this moment, a siren interrupted Duan Mu's meditation.
Duan Mu looked up with some doubts, and then discovered that in the corner of the surveillance department, there was a huge equipment. The huge display screen was connected to various instruments, and the man sitting in front of the equipment
It was none other than Nagano Kasuhide.
"Um?"
I don’t know what Nagano Kashu pressed. After the alarm stopped, an extremely clear image appeared on the screen. It was not the images with only maps and red dots on other screens, but an image like a real-world surveillance.
The clarity is extremely high.
A strange color flashed in Duan Mu's eyes, he stood up and stood behind Nagano Huaxiu, and after careful observation, he found out.
The images that are constantly switching above include many images from the real world in addition to the Soul Society. In each image, there are members of the Gotei 13 who are being monitored, as if someone is following and filming behind them.
"What's this?"
"ah?"
Nagano Huaxiu, who was concentrating on controlling the equipment, was stunned for a moment. Then he noticed Duan Mu behind him. He subconsciously wanted to get up, but was pushed back by Duan Mu: "I told you, you're welcome. You continue to do your work. I'm just interested in this new set of equipment."
The equipment is just a bit curious.”
"Boss, this is the image I received from the imaging hall."
"Image hall?"
Duan Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The Image Hall is a surveillance agency under Room 46. Its image surveillance system is spread throughout Soul Society and the present world. There are even rumors that even parts of Hueco Mundo can be monitored." Kiyohara Fu walked up and said with a smile: "
However, it has always had nothing to do with our supervision team, because receiving the 'monitoring return line' of the imaging hall requires very professional technical support, and we do not have talents in this area here."
"In the entire surveillance department, only Ms. Nagano can use this thing."
"I'm just messing around."
Nagano Huaxiu scratched his head in embarrassment: "Boss Duanmu, you also know that I am extremely interested in the present world, so I asked my father to help me buy a complete set of equipment from the Technology Development Bureau at a large expense, and I can figure it out by myself when I have nothing to do.
, the reason why I know so much about the present world is because of the existence of this set of equipment."
"After joining the supervision team, I found that... it seemed to be useful, so I moved this equipment together."
"It's more than useful."
Duan Mu looked at the extremely clear images on the screen and couldn't help but sigh, and then said with some confusion: "But isn't that so-and-so imaging hall under the jurisdiction of Room 46? Why was the equipment purchased from the Technology Development Bureau?
"
"Because the Technology Development Bureau has a close relationship with the Image Agency, they have formed a cooperative relationship with the Image Agency to monitor Soul Society and the present world, and analyze the situation based on this. Due to the deep cooperation, the Image Agency was even
Ridiculed as an organization under the jurisdiction of the 'Technology Development Bureau'."
"Generally speaking, except for relevant personnel from the Image Agency and the Technology Development Bureau, systems other than some public loops cannot be used."
The one who answered Duan Mu was not Nagano Kasuhide, but Kiyohara Fubo on the side. After a pause, he continued: "Even our supervision team is no exception. We have always passively accepted the images from the Technology Development Bureau. Initially.
This set of equipment can only see part of the real world. It was only later that Captain Broken Bee personally went to the Technology Development Bureau to ask for it, and then they agreed to share the 'surveillance loop' of the objects supervised by our supervision team with us."
“But it’s limited to those under supervision, which means we can only see what they allow us to see.”
When Qingyuanbo said this, he couldn't help but show admiration on his face: "Our supervision team has been applying for this technology for a long time, but let alone helping to train or transfer technical personnel, the Technology Development Bureau is not even willing to provide us with equipment.
For sale.”
"It can be said that seeing this kind of equipment in the supervision team was only possible because of the strong financial resources of the Nagano family and the addition of Ms. Nagano, a professional technician."
"I'm not really a professional, I'm just sitting around at home and thinking about it."
Having said that, Nagano Hanashi showed a proud look on her face. You must know that after buying this set of equipment, she relied entirely on her own efforts to research and use it, and even used it to intercept many surveillance loops in the real world.
...Although he was warned after being discovered by the Technology Development Bureau and the Image Agency.
But after that, the Technology Development Bureau sent her invitations to join the team more than once.
only……
Nagano Hanashi was a little afraid of the director of the Technology Development Bureau, and there were too many weird people in the Technology Development Bureau. In order to avoid becoming one of the weirdos, she did not accept the invitation from the Technology Development Bureau.
Movie theater?
Duan Mu nodded, then frowned slightly as if he thought of something.
Seeing this, Qing Yuanfang asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Since we have received the sharing from the Technology Development Bureau, we have received the monitoring return line of the supervision object under restricted circumstances; then, can the Technology Development Bureau also only receive the 'monitoring return line' shared with them by the Image Department?
?”
"Probably so."
Qing Yuanfang nodded: "However, the actual person in charge of the imaging department basically does not have much management. Now the imaging department seems to be a subordinate agency of the Technology Development Bureau. They should be able to check all surveillance lines."
"Then what happened to the Fujiwara siblings last time was also the information obtained from the surveillance loop of the Film Department?"
"Yes, after you were trapped in Hueco Mundo, I went to the Technology Development Bureau to inquire about the details. The images at the scene were fed back by the surveillance loop."
After Qing Yuanfang finished speaking, he asked with some confusion: "Boss, is there anything wrong?"
"No."
Duan Mu smiled when he heard this: "I'm just a little curious." After that, he pretended to be unintentional and asked: "You just said that the actual person in charge of the imaging hall is Zhenyang Room 46?"
"No."
As if he had found an opportunity to express himself, Nagano Hanashi jumped out and said: "The video hall is managed by the Gangayashiro family, one of the four nobles who is responsible for managing the Great Spirit Book Corridor and knows all the history and information of Soul Society.
, when I originally researched the video hall surveillance circuit, I bought all the research materials from the Koyayo branch."
"The four nobles..."
Duan Mu showed a smile on his face, and then said: "That's really a big shot."
Although his face didn't show anything, when he said these words, Duan Mu's heart was not as calm as his face.
His status is high enough to influence the Forty-six Chambers, he can lead the Golden Seal Society, and...
Duan Mu glanced at the screen in front of Nagano Hanashi.
It can also monitor the real world, Soul Society, and even parts of Hueco Mundo at any time.
This so-called Gangayayo family is completely consistent with Duan Mu’s previous guess.
When he first accepted the commission, Duan Mu had doubts about the information provided by the Technology Development Bureau, but he didn't think much about it... because although the director was a pervert, the Technology Development Bureau had always done its duty and had never provided any mistakes.
or uncertain information.
but……
What if the intelligence they got from the beginning was wrong?
According to Qingyuanbo, the supervision team can only watch the surveillance loops that they are allowed to watch under the restrictions of the Technology Development Bureau.
In the same way, the credibility of the surveillance loop accepted by the Technology Development Bureau will be greatly reduced, because no matter how close the cooperation between the Technology Development Bureau and the Imaging Department is, they are not the actual person in charge, and the images obtained are most likely to be obtained through
processing, or deliberately allowing them to watch.
However, there was too little information to infer that the person who led him to Hueco Mundo this time was the Komiyayo family.
Moreover, Duanmu can be sure that he has never had any contact with the Tsunayashiro family, and there is no information about the Tsunayashiro family in his memory.
Of course, although my speculations are a bit outrageous, the precautions and investigations must be taken, and they must be sufficiently secretive.
after all……
None of the four nobles, or rather the five nobles, was easy to mess with. Duan Mu did not want to arouse the hostility of the Koyayo family if it was not necessary.
"Sister Xiu, can the image of Supervision No. 432 target be retrieved?"
"432?"
Nagano Huaxiu was slightly startled: "Ah, that Quincy who always wanted to cooperate with the God of Death? Wait a moment."
At this moment, the conversation between Ukitake Hiroshi and Nagano Kasuhide caught Duan Mu's attention.
Duan Mu subconsciously looked towards the big screen and saw an image appearing on the screen.
In the image, an ancient old man stood in front of the undead, holding a crossbow made of spirit seeds, and used the spirit arrows to pierce the head of a small virtual creature directly.
"It's this guy again. I even said he wouldn't let him destroy Xu." Qing Yuanfang said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
"It seems like he is trying to protect that 'Zheng'."
"What should I do? Do I want to send the data to the Technology Development Bureau?"
"Where does the Technology Development Bureau need us to provide information?"
Qing Yuanfang replied casually and continued: "Inform the resident Death God in this world, and then warn him, so that he will not annihilate him after encountering the Hollow, and let us, the Death God, evolve."
