In the following days, Duan Mu's life can basically be summarized in four words.
Leave early and come back late!
Every day, I basically complete the commissions I take on and make friends while I can; I go to the comprehensive rescue center to work and I make friends; I go to the Maggot Nest to work and I make friends...
No matter what you do, you should take the opportunity to make friends.
In addition, the supervision team, technology development bureau, imaging hall... all kinds of surveillance are also in place.
Leaving aside the other two departments, the supervision team asked Duan Mu if he wanted to find a way to hinder these departments from monitoring him, but Duan Mu sternly refused!
How could I let you hinder me!!
Although many things need to be temporarily stopped when being monitored, and there are many inconveniences, being monitored by the entire Seireitei 24 hours a day is not a kind of protection.
Anyway, after someone launches the plan, they should have no extra energy to focus on themselves, and then... I don't have to worry about being killed quietly.
In these last few years, just open your own Wanshiwu house honestly and under supervision.
If I have any regrets...
That means Duan Mu has been completely relegated to the cold palace by Zai Feng... Although he has not taken back the authority given to him, no matter how many times Duan Mu visits him, he is always turned away; even if he meets Duan Mu by chance, he never even looks at Duan Mu. , that posture was as if he was getting angry with something.
Duan Mu wasn't too sure who he was with specifically, but it wasn't with him anyway.
Because he is not that important in the eyes of Broken Bee...and although the favorability level has not increased, it has not decreased either. That posture is not so much directed at himself, but rather directed at someone through himself...
It’s still the same today…
After finishing the work in the Maggot Nest, I went to visit the Broken Bee, but was turned away.
After completing the process, Duan Mu did not go to the supervision team, but walked directly outside the second team. He still had a lot of work to do in the afternoon.
However, as soon as he reached the main entrance of the Second Division, a figure chased him from behind.
"Boss Duan Mu."
Duan Mu turned around and saw Qing Yuanfang running from a distance. After stopping in front of him, he took a breath and said, "The Quincy you asked us to pay attention to is dead."
"The Quincy is dead?"
Duan Mu was stunned when he heard this: "What Quincy... hmm? That old man?"
"Yes, that's the old Quincy you paid attention to more than a year ago." Kiyohara Fu nodded, and then said: "Although you haven't paid attention to me since then, Miss Nagano has always been fulfilling your orders, from time to time. Pay more attention to the aging Quincy."
"It's the same today, but for some reason, we suddenly can't receive the surveillance circuit related to the present world. According to Ms. Nagano, it may be that the Technology Development Bureau has cut off our circuit."
"It wasn't until we received the request for help from the Technology Development Bureau that the surveillance circuit returned to normal. However, the aging Quincy was already dead. After his death, the fifth division team members who received the request for help rushed to Come to the scene.”
"His soul was extradited by Xia Yanyu, the tenth seat of the fifth division, and has now arrived in the 3rd district west of Rukongai."
Duan Mu nodded when he heard the words and didn't care too much.
Because the research on the Quincy had stopped long ago, he thought that the supervision team had stopped monitoring them. However, Nagano Kashu actually paid attention to the old Quincy for more than a year because of his words.
"Don't worry about him."
Thinking of this, Duan Mu shook his head: "Those lunatics from the Technology Development Bureau have probably been dispatched now. There is no need to provoke them."
Qing Yuanfang nodded when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "Cai Hui, the chief of the 'Research Material Capture Section' of the Technology Development Bureau, has indeed taken people to the west at this time, but... at this time... your
Big brother..."
Big brother?
Rock vulture?
Duan Mu was slightly stunned, wondering what this matter had to do with the Rock Eagle.
But then his expression became a little strange, because if I remember correctly...
This morning, the commission that Yanjiu snatched from him was the work of the West 3rd District. Early in the morning, he took a few boys to help Granny Zuo Yu harvest tobacco leaves.
Granny Zuo Yu is the owner of the tobacco shop in West District 3. She has always taken care of Duan Mu's business, and Sister Konghe is also her regular customer. It was this Granny Zuo Yu who introduced Duan Mu to Sister Konghe when he got acquainted with her.
of.
"You don't want to tell me that Rock Eagle is with that old Quincy man, do you?"
"Um……"
The corner of Qing Yuanfang's mouth twitched slightly: "Well, actually when the Quincy came to Soul Society, he was already controlled by the members of the 12th Division who were waiting there in advance. As a result, when they escorted him back, he passed by
into the tobacco fields.”
"As usual, your eldest brother, after seeing the members of the 12th Division, immediately said, 'Why the hell did the God of Death appear here?'... Then, the two sides clashed, and the result was 12th Division.
The squad members were beaten so hard that they fled back to the Seireitei."
"...Can't this guy change his lines?"
The corner of Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly. He had heard similar words countless times.
There are other words such as, 'As long as I am here, the Shinigami will never step foot into the West Rukongai.' If Duan Mu remembers correctly, these are the lines he will say when he meets the King in the future.
In terms of nutrition.
"Thank you, I'll go take a look right away."
Duan Mu shook his head and immediately moved towards Baidao Gate in an instant.
Yanjiu hates the God of Death. Although Duan Mu wants to help him resolve the misunderstanding, he really doesn't know how to help.
As a young man, he saw with his own eyes Lucia carrying his elder brother's body back covered in blood, and claiming that she had killed his elder brother. Based on this incident alone, it was impossible for the Rock Eagle to confront the God of Death.
What's the feeling?
To untie the knot in his heart, the only way was for Lucia, who had left a huge shadow on him, to explain the reason herself.
And those Shinigami who were submissive in Seireitei and arrogant and domineering in Rukongai further deepened his disgust towards Shinigami.
Naturally, not all Shinigami are bad people as he thought. Although...even those who claim to be kind, most of them do not treat the residents of Rukongai as human beings.
But the guys who come to Rukongai to show off their power are definitely the bastards with the worst personalities among them. Otherwise, the residents of Rukongai wouldn’t hate the Shinigami so much and wish all the Shinigami would die!
Anyway, in Duan Mu's opinion, those gods of death deserved to be punished by the Rock Eagle.
However, Iwajiu was very measured in his attacks. Although he often beat the Shinigami violently, he never caused any casualties. He only caused them to suffer some physical pain. The Seireitei completely ignored this and took it seriously.
have no idea.
This is not because of Duan Mu. Even without him, Seireitei would not care about this kind of conflict. Anyway, as long as he is not beaten to death, he can fight casually.
In the end, Duan Mu simply stopped trying.
Anyway, with Ganjiu's strength, he won't suffer any loss. Not to mention the ordinary team members, even the low-level officers of the Gotei 13 Team, and even some high-ranking officers, will still be beaten violently in front of Ganjiu.
But the Technology Development Bureau is different...
In the entire Seireitei, Duan Mu can be said to be one of the people who knows the Technology Development Bureau best.
On the surface, it is the Technology Development Bureau, but in fact...
Most of them are lunatics who have walked out of the maggot nest, including the director!
So it's better to go and have a look.
…
"Old man, do you know how to do it?"
Yanjiu held up his hands full of black liquid and looked at the old man who was leaning over to work with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Be careful, if you mess up this commission, Grandma Zuo Yu will complain to my eldest sister, then I will
It’s over.”
"..."
The old man's white clothes were stained with black liquid, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He really couldn't understand why he was here harvesting tobacco leaves with others.
Will you still do it?
Are you kidding me? As a pure-blood Quincy, and a Quincy who holds the symbolic medal representing the strongest Quincy, of course... it's just a symbol. The human body is destined to age, whether it's spiritual pressure or...
My body is no longer what it used to be...otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up like this.
But no matter what, I am also a pure-blood Quincy, how could I do such a dirty job?
After Ishida Zongxian hesitated for a moment, he said: "That...this little brother..."
"Who is your little brother!?"
Iwajiu choked angrily, in Soul Society, appearance is not the criterion for judging age.
Ishida Sogenu looks old, but his actual age is only 70 or 80 years old at most, and may even be younger. Among the Iwajiu and others present, the youngest is already over fifty years old. In fact, Ishida Sozuru is no older than them.
No matter how old you are, naturally there is no respect for the elderly and love for the young.
What's more, in Soul Society, no one cares about age at all. There are many brothers in the assigned families who are nearly a hundred years apart in age.
"I want to say..."
"Let's talk about it after we finish whatever we have to do."
Yanjiu replied without raising his head: "I have wasted a lot of time just now to save you from those gods of death; help me complete the work on time, and I will give you some money later, and you can go wherever you want.
, no one cares about you, but now you have to help me finish the work."
"..."
Ishida Sogen was silent for a moment, then finally leaned down and continued harvesting tobacco leaves.
Although this kid's words were unpleasant, he had to admit that he was indeed the one who saved him.
Although there is still spiritual power in the body, if you want to use your spiritual body to perform the Quincy's methods, it cannot be done in a short time. If it weren't for the rude boy in front of you, you would have been captured by the gods of death.
"Um?"
However, just as he leaned down, he stood up again and looked to the east with a slight frown.
"What's wrong with you?"
Hawke, who was beside him, stood up with a dissatisfied look on his face and said: "Brother Yanjiu asks you to work, so just be obedient..."
"Shut up."
Iwajiu suddenly interrupted him. He first looked at Ishida Sozuru with some doubts, and then said to Hawke and others: "You two, step back, those Shinigami are back again."
Hearing this, the expressions of Hawke and others suddenly changed.
The rock vulture walked directly out of the tobacco field and stood on the road waiting for the opponent to be brought to avoid conflict and accidentally destroying the tobacco field.
Not long after, figures appeared at the end of the road.
The leader was a woman wearing a white coat with a swallow tail. The woman was plump and beautiful, with dark purple wavy hair that covered her left eye, giving people an extremely weird sense of beauty.
Yanjiu and the four younger brothers couldn't help but stare blankly.
duangduangduang~~
Especially when he came closer, the faint sound made Yanjiu and others swallow their saliva.
The woman stopped in front of Iwajiu and the others, glanced at Ishida Munexun, who was blocked by Iwajiu, and a moving smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Hello, can you hand over the old man behind you to me?"
"Uh...but...uh, you can't."
Iwajiu subconsciously wanted to nod, but then his expression changed. He looked at the Shinigami behind the woman with vigilance and said, "Unless you tell me why you want to arrest a whole person who just arrived at Rukongai."
"It's not arresting."
Hearing this, the woman took a few steps closer to Yanjiu and said with a sweet smile: "I just want to invite him to the Technology Development Bureau. The Technology Development Bureau is a paradise-like unit, where he will get the Rukonghun."
A happy life that is completely unavailable in the streets.”
"Technology Development Bureau!?"
However, what the woman didn't expect was that after hearing the words 'Technology Development Bureau', Yanjiu's face became more vigilant.
He often listened to Duan Mu talk about Seireitei affairs, so it was impossible for him not to know what kind of organization the Technology Development Bureau was. He originally thought that it was just a few bastard Shinigami bullying someone who had just arrived in Soul Society, but he didn't expect that it would be involved.
Technology Development Bureau.
"Chief of the Painting Section, why are you talking so much nonsense to him? If he dares to stop me again, just get rid of him too!"
Behind the woman, several shinigami with bruised noses and swollen faces stared at Shiba Ganjiu with angry expressions.
"Don't make a fuss. The fault for this matter lies solely with you. Don't offend the young master of the Zhiba family."
The woman named Cai Hui smiled slightly, took a few steps forward again, and whispered: "Young master of the Zhiba family, just hand that old man over to me, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to you when I get back. I'll wait for you."
After this is done, I will definitely pay you a visit."
The extremely seductive words, coupled with the fullness, made the rock eagle unable to help but swallow again.
Phew~~
At this moment, a white whip shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
A strong wind blew against my face.
Too bad!
The attack came so fast that the rock vulture couldn't react at all, and it didn't even see what was attacking it.
And just when he thought he was going to be hit, his eyes suddenly blurred.
"The Eighth Way of Binding: Rebuke."
Amidst the soft drink, a figure appeared beside the rock eagle, covering the rock eagle's face with the back of his right hand.
Bang~~
The next second, a dull crashing sound was heard.
The two collide and are separated at the first touch.
"Duan Mu...huh?"
Yanjiu looked at Duan Mu who suddenly appeared. He was happy at first, but then his expression became a little strange.
Phew~~
The sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the white whip shadow struck again, leaving a trail of afterimages in mid-air, continuously attacking Duan Mu.
But they were all blocked back one by one by Duan Mu using the repulsive barrier on the back of his hand.
Bang bang bang...
All of a sudden, the sound of collisions was endless.
This attack and defense lasted for nearly half a minute before it ended. It was not Duan Mu who launched the attack, but the opponent actively stopped the attack.
"..."
When the attack stopped, Duan Mu shook his hand subconsciously, not because of pain...
The Yanjiu behind him had a strange look on his face and whispered to Duan Mu: "Why don't you let her beat me? You should stop meddling this time."
"...If you want to die, no one will stop you."
Duan Mu raised his head and glanced at Cai Hui, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "The lethality of her attack is not low. If the blow just now was really hit, you would be unconscious by now, and your facial bones would probably be broken.
"
"Uh...but her weapon..."
"That's just a weapon!"
Duan Mu's face darkened, and he subconsciously waved his hand away. He suddenly regretted not taking out the knife.
Although he had known for a long time that the Technology Development Bureau was a group of lunatics, he never expected that these people could be so crazy that they could modify their bodies to such an extent!
