After a morning's work, Duan Mu stepped into the second division team building wearing a dusty black overalls.
After entering the Maggot Nest with ease, he put on a brand new black overalls and walked out soon after, heading towards the supervision building.
"Boss."
"Captain Duan Mu."
As soon as he entered the building, a wave of greetings came to his ears. Duan Mu responded with a smile and stepped into the surveillance department amidst a wave of respectful greetings.
Whenever he has free time recently, he will come to the Surveillance Section for a walk.
It's not that I came here to take a break, or that I had some ulterior secrets, I just came here to observe someone.
"Boss."
Nagano Hanashi sat in front of the huge monitor, holding a lot of snacks in his arms, and said with a smile: "Do you still want to observe the old Quincy today?"
"Um."
Duan Mu pulled up a chair, sat next to Nagano Huaxiu and said, "Is he fighting today?"
"There is no fighting. It seems that something happened to his family. These days, he has been taking his grandson with him and practicing everywhere."
Nagano Huashiu answered vaguely while holding the pancake in his mouth, but his hand movements were not slow. Along with the clicking sound of the keyboard, an image suddenly appeared on the big screen: "His grandson is very tall.
It’s so cute that when you see it, you want to hold it in your arms and give it a squeeze.”
The image displayed on the big screen was of an old man walking in the mountains and forest holding a child of about 10 years old.
"Right."
Qing Yuanfang on the side seemed to have remembered something, and frowned: "The Technology Development Bureau sent a message, saying that if the supervision subject No. 432 encounters a virtual incident in the future, we are asked not to convey the news. Regarding this... I did not refuse."
Duan Mu heard a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then nodded: "It's right not to refuse. Anyway, sending a request for support has nothing to do with us."
Although the supervision team monitors targets, their duty is only to prevent the targets from doing things that are harmful to the world and Soul Society.
If the surveillance object encounters a crisis and needs rescue, the supervision team must ignore it and hand it over to the Technology Development Bureau for communication.
The reason is very simple, because when the supervision team monitors the object, it needs to be secretive. It must not be noticed by the supervision object, and it cannot be allowed to be discovered by others that the supervision object is being monitored by the supervision team.
That is to say...
The Technology Development Bureau does not need to notify them at all.
But the news came, indicating that the Technology Development Bureau knew what the supervision team's "monitoring loop" was looking at, so it conveyed this kind of news to them.
"Although it's just a rumor, as far as I know..."
Qingyuan Fang pondered for a moment and continued: "Captain Niryuri of the Technology Development Bureau has ordered the Technology Development Bureau to monitor the Quincy team members, delay the transmission of information, and then... after the Quincy dies...
Recycling; however, this is just a rumor, and I don’t know whether it is true or not.”
Rumor?
Duan Mu nodded and did not inquire further.
Because with Qing Yuanfang's character, he can say this, which means that he has grasped certain clues; but because the other party's identity is too special, and Nirvana's research behavior is very likely to get forty-six
Only with the permission of the office, he would inform himself of this information as "rumor".
and……
Duan Mu has always been aware of this matter, but he just didn't want to provoke that madman.
The reason why he wanted to observe the supervision subject No. 432 was just to study the power of the Quincy. When he was in the world a few days ago, the Holy Spirit that happened around him without him realizing it made Duan Mu feel in his heart.
The Quincy had a deep fear.
Although Duan Mu knew about the existence of the Quincy, he didn't pay too much attention to it, because from his memory, it would be a long time before the Quincy appeared, and before that, they would never appear.
in front of oneself.
In comparison, the guy from the fifth division is the one Duan Mu really wants to be afraid of.
But the experience he had in this world a few days ago made Duan Mu realize...
They are always there and by their side!
Just like the two worlds inside and outside the mirror, you may pass them by countless times without even realizing it.
Therefore, these days, Duan Mu would come to the supervision building whenever he had free time, and use the supervision team's surveillance circuit to observe the Quincy, so as not to be confused due to unfamiliarity when facing the enemy.
After a period of observation, it can be said that a lot has been gained.
Before observing the subjects under supervision of 432, Duan Mu had always thought that the relationship between the Quincy's control over the spiritual subordination and the strength of his own spiritual power was not strong; but after this period of observation, Duan Mu discovered that the Quincy's control over the spiritual powers was not strong.
The mastery of subordination is also linked to the strength of one's own spiritual power.
It is true that Quincy rarely directly use their internal spiritual power to fight, but every time they fight, they will use their internal spiritual power to gather and package the spirit seeds in the external environment, and finally present them in the form of spirit son weapons, that is to say
The stronger your own spiritual power, the higher your mastery of the spiritual subordination.
The combination of internal and external forces gives them the power to 'annihilate' everything.
However, Duan Mu had no intention of turning the Quincy's power into his own like he was studying Hollows, because there were fundamental differences between Quincy and the God of Death, Hollows, and there were even bloodline restrictions.
Even if Duan Mu could take a step back and have the blood of a Quincy, Duan Mu would never accept the kind of power that would control everything about him after being given it.
Masaki Kurosaki was right in front of him, losing all his power and even about to lose his life.
Moreover, Duan Mu has already decided on his future plans.
That is...
Going back to Aizen's old ways!!
Although he is extremely afraid of Aizen, if he wants to catch up from behind, he must make a plan to 'cross the river by touching the stones'. In Soul Society, Duan Mu believes that the stone is most suitable for him and the best stone to touch.
Exactly—Aizen Sosuke!
At least before encountering the ultimate barrier, the route he wants to take will not be any different from Aizen.
Since Aizen never showed much interest in the Quincy from beginning to end, there must be a reason.
Duan Mu never thinks that he is very smart, let alone thinks that others besides himself are fools; with Aizen's ability and hundreds of years of hard work, he has obviously tried and made mistakes on many routes, and there is absolutely no need for him.
Take the wrong path he took again.
The reason why he wanted to observe the Quincy was, as mentioned before, that he wanted to become familiar with the Quincy's fighting methods so as to avoid being ignorant when fighting.
but……
Duan Mu turned his eyes and looked at the sad little boy next to the old man, and shook his head slightly.
"That's it."
Duan Mu glanced at the clock on the wall, stood up and said to everyone in the Surveillance Department: "You can continue working. I have an appointment at noon, so I will leave first. You can also pack up and go to dinner."
"yes."
After bidding farewell to everyone in the Surveillance Section, Duan Mu left the supervision building directly, but did not go outside the Second Division, but came to the deputy captain's office.
When he arrived at the deputy captain's office, Duan Mu knocked on the door a few times, then opened the door and walked in without waiting for a response.
In the room, Ohmaeda was eating snacks while listening to his subordinates' reports.
Regarding Duanmu's arrival, both Ohmaeda and the police team member who was making a report, both of them just glanced at each other and then withdrew their gaze and continued to report.
Duan Mu lay down on the sofa with ease, a look of comfort on his face.
I have to say...
A high-end sofa that is comfortable to lie on.
As far as Duanmu knows, this sofa was ordered by Ohmaeda from the Technology Development Bureau at a large cost. It contains many technologies that Duanmu cannot understand... According to Ohmaeda, lying on it can not only relax your muscles and activate your blood circulation, but also
For the massage function, you only need to release weak spiritual pressure, and the sofa can independently control the spiritual energy, and use the spiritual energy to massage various acupuncture points of the person lying on it.
Since discovering this, Duan Mu will lie down on this sofa for a while every time he comes to Ōmaeda.
However, it is good, but the price is extremely expensive.
Duan Mu roughly calculated that if he gave away all his belongings, he could probably buy a sofa cushion...
"That's it."
Ohmaeda, who was behind the desk, nodded to the team member in front of him: "You go down first."
"yes."
The police patrol member responded, turned to Duan Mu to salute, and then walked out of the deputy captain's office.
Bang!
Oh Maeda kicked the sofa directly and said angrily: "Why don't I just give you my vice-captain position?"
"hey-hey."
Duan Mu didn't care, he laughed and sat up from the sofa: "If you want to kick me, don't break the sofa."
"...You talk as if I can kick you."
Ohmaeda snorted, then sat down next to Duan Mu, and bounced Duan Mu who had just sat up: "You bastard, can't you wait until I finish saying 'please come in' before pushing the door open and coming in?"
"Then how about..."
Duan Mu blinked his eyes and said, "I'll go out and knock again."
"Stop talking nonsense. I asked you to come to my house for dinner today. Someone wants to meet you."
At the end of his sentence, Ohmaeda's face darkened: "You bastard, have you announced that I am your contact person at Noble Street Master House? Why do people who are looking for you always come to my house to look for me?"
Anyone want to meet me?
Duan Mu frowned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked: "Tsunayashiro's family?"
He has never publicly claimed that Omaeda is the contact person for Noble Street Master House, because there is no need for it. If a noble wants to contact him, he usually contacts him through the Golden Seal Association, or directly to his branch in the commercial street.
In Ohmaeda's words, there is a faint feeling that he does not want to offend the other party.
Although the Ōmaeda family is only a lower-level noble, their family's status is somewhat special. They are confident that they can be equal even when facing higher-level nobles. The reason for this is that on the one hand, the Ōmaeda family has extremely strong financial resources;
Because the Ohmaeda family is well taken care of by the Shifengin family.
As someone whose status was enough to make Ohmaeda feel fearful and who was interested in him, Duanki could only think of the person he had never interacted with before, but who might be the culprit who led him to Hueco Mundo - the Tsunayashiro family.
"Tsunayashiro?"
Ohmaeda was stunned when he heard this, and then he seemed to have thought of something. His fat face twitched and said: "Why did I hear the words 'Tsunayashiro family' from your mouth? You are not trying to offend Tsuna.
Is it the Yayoro family?"
After that, the guy moved his butt to one side, as if he was ready to say the words "I don't know you" at any time.
"How is that possible?"
When Duan Mu heard this, he felt relieved. He thought that his secret investigation of the Tsunayashiro family had been discovered.
"I just feel that only the Tsunayashiro family, the head of the four nobles, qualified you to take your status so seriously."
Ohmaeda was not dealt with by Duan Mu, but said in a solemn tone: "I'm warning you, you can offend anyone, but you must not offend the four nobles. If you are secretly investigating Tsuna,
If you say anything about the Yayoro family, stop it immediately!"
"Also, in the future, never mention the words 'Tsunayashiro Family' to anyone outside of covert maneuvers."
Ohmaeda paused for a moment and continued: "It's not like you don't know that the Tsunayashiro family has always controlled the video hall. If it weren't for our secret maneuvers due to our responsibilities, we borrowed the artifact of the 'Tianci Weapon Ban' to isolate all surveillance and detection.
, after you say the words 'Tsunayashiro family', it may be heard in the ears of the Tsunayashiro family the next second."
"I know that with your personality, you will not take the initiative to provoke the Tsunayashiro family. It should be that the Tsunayashiro family did something that aroused your vigilance, but you must be patient, otherwise even the Shiba family behind you will not be able to protect you."
Hearing this, Duan Mu glanced at Ohmaeda in surprise. Although he had long known that this guy was far smarter on the inside than on the outside, Duan Mu really didn't expect that he could think of so much with just one sentence.
After hesitating for a while, Duanmu did not continue to hide it, but told Ohmaeda about the experience of going to Hueco Mundo and his own speculations from beginning to end, except that he concealed the information provided by 'Urahara Kisuke'.
I'm just saying this is my guess.
A good relationship is a good relationship, and responsibilities are responsibilities.
Duan Mu can be sure that after he leaves, Ohmaeda will definitely report his guess to Sui Feng. Instead of letting them guess randomly, it is better to tell them the whole story directly.
Moreover, Duan Mu does not think that leading him to Hueco Mundo is the overall behavior of the Tsunayashiro family. The reason is very simple...
If the Tsunayashiro family wants to target them, there is no need to go to such trouble. As the heads of the four nobles, they don't need to consider whether the Shiha family is behind them.
According to Duanmu's speculation, the person targeting him should be someone from the Tsunayashiro family.
Moreover, this person's status in the Tsunayashiro family should not be high, otherwise he could use the family's power to deal with him, instead of finding a 'Fushenjutsu practitioner' that he does not have in his memory to lure him to Hueco Mundo.
Even now, Duan Mu doesn't understand why the other party wants to lead him to Hueco Mundo, let alone why he wants to observe him secretly.
Of course, it's not that I have no clue.
Based on the surveillance of the imaging hall, it is very likely that his experiences in this world will be known to him.
Thinking of this, Duan Mu couldn't help but sigh.
Helpless...
After all, before meeting Urahara Kisuke, he didn't know the difference between his body and his spirit body, so it was naturally impossible for him to take precautions in advance.
