There are always some unexpected coincidences in this world.
Duan Mu now encountered an unexpected coincidence... He ran to the comprehensive rescue center for safety reasons, but for some reason, he was now sitting next to the person who posed the greatest threat to him.
"Boss Duan Mu, it's been such a long time."
Aizen had a warm look on his face and chuckled: "The last time we met was at the captain's meeting, right? The information you brought back has provided us with great help."
"Where~~I just happened to meet the Arrancar by chance."
A shy smile appeared on Duan Mu's face, and he said rather embarrassedly: "And the captain allows me to move around freely in the Seireitei. This is the best reward for me."
Although his expression was as usual, Duan Mu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Previously, those members of the Fourth Division were still fighting over who could receive Captain Aizen, but just when Duan Mu was about to leave secretly while they were arguing, Aizen, who was waiting outside the inspection hall, suddenly waved to him, with a look on his face.
The familiar person called "Boss Duan Mu", and then Duan Mu was pushed in by everyone.
The only thing that made Duan Mu feel lucky was...
In the corners around the hall, many members of the Fourth Division were hidden, all of them peeking at the two of them chatting with aunty smiles on their faces.
"Look, let me just say that Mr. Duanmu and Captain Aizen have very similar temperaments, especially when they smile, they are exactly the same...well, it looks more like them without smiling!"
"But when it comes to looks, I still stand with Mr. Duanmu."
"What's the use of looks? Besides, Mr. Duanmu just looks younger than Captain Aizen. Captain Aizen's gentle temperament, like the uncle next door, is the most fascinating."
"I want them all!!"
"..."
"Sorry, Captain Aizen."
Duan Mu smiled bitterly: "They just think it's fun and don't mean to offend you."
Although everyone lowered their voices, for both Duan Mu and Aizen, their lowered voices were actually the same as shouting in their ears.
Like, like wool!!
Duan Mu muttered in his heart, he didn't even know how he looked like this 'Yue Buqun' with hairspray hands?
"Haha, do you think I will be offended by this?" Aizen chuckled: "Do I usually look so ruthless?"
"Besides, I think what they said makes sense."
Aizen paused for a moment, looked at Duan Mu beside him, and continued: "Boss Duan Mu, I also feel that the two of us are somewhat similar in some places. I wonder if you feel the same way."
"..." Duan Mu.
He discovered...
Anyone who uses honorifics when speaking is not a good person.
That's it, Urahara Kisuke, this guy kept saying "you" more and more like joking, but the "you" that Aizen said next to him made Duanmu feel... that he was paying homage to himself in advance.
"You are joking... You are the captain of the Gotei 13th Division. I am just a small shop owner who does not want to take on any responsibilities and can only take on some odd jobs to make ends meet."
"The shop owner does not have the strength of a captain."
Aizen smiled slightly: "Compared to the last time we met, Boss Duanmu, your spiritual pressure has become stronger. If you are willing to become a Shinigami, then becoming the captain of one of the Gotei Thirteenth Division will be beneficial to you.
It shouldn’t be difficult.”
"Captain Aizen, you don't actually need to use honorifics with me."
Duan Mu smiled awkwardly. He was not pretending, but he was really embarrassed... and a little scared.
Duan Mu, who knew the true nature of this guy, felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard these honorifics.
"How can I be qualified to be the captain with my little strength?"
After saying that, Duan Mu paused and said softly: "Besides, as I said before, I am just an ordinary person who does not want to take any responsibilities. Let alone the captain, even if I become a member of the Gotei 13 Team, then
All these responsibilities feel overwhelming to me.”
"So whether it's the work at the Comprehensive Rescue Center or the Second Division, it's actually just a job for me, a job that allows me to make full use of my abilities but doesn't require me to take responsibility."
Aran shook his head slightly after hearing this. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said: "Boss Duan Mu, maybe your life is the best life. After becoming a god of death, you will indeed encounter many infirmities."
It's up to you." After saying that, he smiled slightly:
"Perhaps I will become your guest, Boss Duan Mu, in the future. Please don't turn me away then."
"no problem!"
That’s weird!!
Duan Mu added two words in his mind, thinking with his buttocks, he knew that this guy's commission was definitely not a good one.
It’s better to be more careful when accepting commissions in the future, otherwise you might one day receive a commission to assassinate the ‘Zhenyang Room 46’, and then you can steal the stolen goods personally...
but……
Duan Mu glanced at Aizen beside him, his heart full of vigilance.
He really couldn't understand why Aizen took the initiative to contact him. He thought of many possibilities, but Duan Mu rejected them one by one.
Although he has expressed his attitude, Duan Mu does not think that Aizen can let him go because of his few words, so he must be vigilant.
However, judging from the conversation just now, the death of one of the Ten Blades is not something worthy of attention for Aizen, and it will not make him risk being exposed in advance and face himself openly.
Take action.
Rather than contacting him because of Ju Blade's death, Duanmu is more inclined to contact him because of his method of getting to Hueco Mundo.
In addition, there is another possibility for him to contact himself.
That is Urahara Kisuke!
It is not difficult to guess the person who can help Duan Mu open the space blockade and allow him to leave Hueco Mundo in time.
What's more, in addition to opening the black cavity, Urahara Kisuke also counter-blocked the space for a short period of time to prevent the Jublade from entering the black cavity to pursue Duanmu. This alone was enough for Aizen to determine who the person who saved him was.
Um?
Duan Mu's heart tightened, wouldn't this guy suspect that Urahara Kisuke had hidden that thing on him?
This possibility is not impossible.
But if he really had this suspicion, Duan Mu didn't know how to prove it.
At least he knew very well that Urahara Kisuke didn't hide anything in his body.
Hmm...probably not...
Duan Mu pondered for a moment and decided to check his body carefully when he turned around to avoid being tricked by Urahara Kisuke without knowing it.
If it really happened, he would definitely throw that ‘disaster’ into the cesspit, and it would be the cesspit of the first team building!!
"Actually, I've wanted to chat with you, Boss Duan Mu, for a long time."
A smile appeared on Aizen's face. Although it was warm, Duan Mu felt a hint of danger: "Because I often hear your name from my subordinates. Except for Hinamori, the deputy captain of our fifth division, even
Our 10 seats often mention you in front of me."
"I didn't know it, but before I knew it, Boss Duan Mu, your Wanshiwuwu has become so famous."
"Ten seats?"
Duan Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he looked stunned and said happily: "Is it Xia Yanyou? Has that child been promoted to the 10th seat?"
"yes."
Aizen nodded: "She often talks about you, saying that you have strong attainments in slashing, boxing, ghost, and walking, and that you have a gentle personality. She also said that we two are very similar, and we will definitely become friends if we meet.
It’s too late to meet my friend.”
"..."
Although his tone was very gentle, Duan Mu always felt like he was being accused.
"Xiaoyu is exaggerating. In fact, I first met her because her father was a retired member of the Fourth Division, and he ran a herbal shop after he retired. Our acquaintance was introduced by Deputy Captain Kotetsu.
Seeing how hard she worked, I took it upon myself to teach her some ghost techniques and other techniques."
"Captain Aizen, please don't blame me for being nosy."
"If anything, it's not too late for me to thank you."
Aizen shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Actually, when I heard Xia Yan mention you, I had an idea. I have always wanted to ask Mr. Duan Mu... you to teach our fifth team; this was originally a project between Hina and I.
Sen's responsibilities, but you also know that the captain and vice-captain have too many things to do, so they neglect to teach the team members."
Let me be the instructor of Division 5?
Duan Mu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he swallowed the words back and said with a smile as usual: "If I can help Captain Aizen share your worries, then I will naturally be obliged to do so, but you also know
…I handle all the commissions in the Wan Shi House by myself, so I can only spare a few days per month.”
"If you don't mind, I can select a few days every month to teach your team members. Although... I'm not as good as Xiaoyou said, but the rules of the store can't be broken, so every time
A separate fee is required.”
Aizen heard this and took a deep look at Duan Mu. Although his eyes were not clear under his glasses, Duan Mu could faintly feel a sense of gaze.
"Boss Duan Mu, you are too humble."
Aizen retracted his gaze and said: "If you are willing, then after I go back, I will ask Hinamori to go to your store to make a formal commission. I know..." At this point, Aizen showed a joking look on his face.
Smile: "If your store's female vice-captain goes to make commissions, she will get a big discount."
"Hahaha, yes, the female vice-captain can enjoy a 40% discount at my place."
After Duan Mu said this, both of them couldn't help laughing. In the eyes of others, this scene was extremely harmonious, as if two people with a good relationship were joking with each other.
There is quite a feeling of meeting each other too late.
However……
Actually.
Duanmu glanced at the Zanpakutō Aizen was holding with his peripheral vision, and secretly decided that he must create the ability to restrain Kyoka Suigetsu as soon as possible.
During the conversation with Aizen, he had been hypnotized.
When it started, when it ended, and how he was tricked, he was not sure.
But he was certain of the fact that he was hypnotized.
Because before coming into contact with Aizen, Duanmu gave himself a few drops of an anesthetic called ‘Shock Point’.
This is an anesthetic used by the Fourth Division during surgeries. For people with low spiritual pressure, just drop a little on the skin and they will become unconscious and faint immediately.
But for people with high spiritual pressure, it has no effect.
But the 'shock point' in Duan Mu's hand is a narcotic that has been continuously improved using Maggot Nest prisoners as experimental subjects. When used on himself, it can make his mind temporarily unclear.
He had been in a confused and unresponsive state before, and it was not until that moment that he fully recovered.
It was the strange feeling at the moment when his mind went from 'unclear' to 'clear' that made Duan Mu believe that he had been hypnotized.
However, this feeling lasted only for a moment.
As for when he freed the Zanpakutō?
In fact, there is no need to consider this at all.
because……
If you want to use your Zanpakutō to swastika, in addition to materializing your Zanpakutō, there is also a prerequisite, and that is...
There is no need to call the Zanpakuto's name to free it.
All captains can do this.
When they first started explaining, they said Jiefang language mostly out of habit, or to remind their opponents, and maybe some of them were just showing off...
At this moment, Kotetsu Yongin walked out of the inspection hall.
Aizen, who was sitting next to Duan Mu, nodded to Duan Mu and immediately stood up to greet him.
"Captain Aizen."
Kotetsu Yuune glanced at Aizen, and then said: "The members of your squad are out of danger, but they still need to stay at the comprehensive rescue center for at least half a month of treatment."
"That's it, that's good."
Aizen smiled slightly: "Thank you very much. If he has any problems, please ask Vice Captain Kotetsu to send someone to the fifth division to inform me. I won't stay here for a long time."
Compared to talking with Duanmu, although Aizen was polite when talking to Kotetsu Yuune, he did not use honorifics.
Because Kotetsu Yuune is different from Duanmu, she is a member of the Fourth Division. Even if she is the vice-captain, in the Gotei 13, a highly hierarchical organization, there is also a huge gap between her status and the captain. Aizen
If you use honorifics, it will make Yongyin feel scared.
The use of honorifics for Duanmu is partly because Duanmu does not belong to the Gotei 13th Division, and partly because of the strength of Duanmu's spiritual pressure.
In order not to be noticed by Aizen, Duan Mu did not hide his spiritual pressure as usual.
Therefore, when the captain spoke to him, Duan Mu could actually accept the honorific used when speaking to peers, but hearing it from Aizen's mouth made Duan Mu feel uncomfortable all over.
Watching Aizen leave, Duan Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but then he sighed in his heart.
He couldn't refuse Aizen's commission.
Because Duan Mu has always rarely refused commissions, and he likes to take on commissions from various teams. It is no secret that he likes to make friends with female team members from all teams... It can be said that as long as he has enough money and there are many female team members,
Duan Mu would not refuse such a commission.
As for the fifth team, it is obvious that they are not lacking in these two points.
No matter from which point of view, he has no reason to reject Aizen, unless he feels guilty or wants to avoid someone from the fifth division.
So Duan Mu must pick it up, and he must go there frequently!
As for the danger…
Although there is, from a certain perspective, perhaps the fifth division is the safest place for Duan Mu.
There is no need to take the initiative to publicize it. As long as someone knows that he is working in the fifth division, Aizen will not do anything to him unless he can find someone who can perfectly imitate Duan Mu.
But unlike him, there are too many people in the entire Seireitei who know Duan Mu, and there are too many people who often come into contact with Duan Mu.
With Aizen's intelligence, he would never do such a stupid thing.
However, being close to Aizen also means that he will observe him. Any changes that occur in his body, even a slight increase in spiritual pressure, may allow him to see the clues.
Being observable also means observing!
Duanmu can also take this opportunity to observe Aizen at close range, thereby creating abilities against Kyoka Suigetsu.
