Standing outside the team building of the fifth team, looking at Aizen with a gentle smile in front of him, Duan Mu couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face:
"Captain Aizen, I have told you so many times that you don't need to be so polite to me. Even if your status as captain is aside, in my case, you are also a distinguished guest of our Master House."
Having said that, Duan Mu carefully observed the expression on Aizen's face, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
His original plan today was actually not to come to the fifth division, but to work at the comprehensive first aid center.
But the Fifth Squadron made a sudden and impromptu decision today to conduct special training.
This special training was conducted by the captain of the fifth division, Aizen, the vice-captain, Hinamori Momo, and the special instructor, Duanmu.
"Mr. Duanmu, although you are closely involved with our Gotei Thirteenth Team, you are not a Shinigami after all..."
Aizen shook his head and said: "Customers certainly need to be respected, but store managers who are capable and able to satisfy customers are also worthy of respect from customers."
"Boss Duan Mu, both the team members and I have seen your ability. Since you became the special instructor of our fifth team, the progress of the team members' strength has been clearly visible."
After saying that, he paused and said with a smile:
"Besides, I invited you here temporarily today. Just because you left other work to come to my place, I am already very grateful."
Duan Mu nodded when he heard this, and was not too polite, because today he indeed turned down other commissions and spent the whole day in the fifth division for guidance.
"You must be wondering why I suddenly want to organize this special training."
Aizen sighed and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "Actually, a few days ago, one of the soldiers of our fifth division... was accidentally swallowed by Xun during the support operation. This incident made everyone suffer.
A huge blow.”
"So I hope to use this training to divert everyone's attention and use it as motivation to increase everyone's strength."
"The reason why the team member died was entirely because of my decision-making error as the captain. If I had not despised the Hollow and led the team there myself..."
At the end of the sentence, Aizen's face became a little ugly, and his eyes under his glasses revealed a sense of pain.
"Captain Aizen, this is not your fault."
Duan Mu shook his head and sighed: "This is the duty of the God of Death. Those team members are all very brave people. Unlike cowards like me who dare not take responsibility at all, they are all heroes in my mind.
exist."
"Although I dare not say that you are not responsible for the death of the deceased soldier; but one thing I can be sure of is that he will not complain about you before he dies, so even if it is to sacrifice the soldier, you will
Don't feel guilty about this, but just like you said..."
"Use this as motivation to make yourself stronger."
"Mr. Duan Mu, as the team members said, he is a very gentle gentleman."
Aizen sighed first, then shook his head and said: "I don't think Mr. Duanmu is a coward who evades responsibility. Although you are not a member of the Gotei 13th Division, you have been silently working behind the scenes.
Supporting the Gotei 13th Division."
"Whether it is the work of covert maneuvers, the work of the Fourth Division's comprehensive rescue center, or even our Fifth Division, they have all received great help from you."
Aizen paused and said in a serious tone: "As for your unwillingness to join the Gotei 13th Division, I can vaguely feel it. Today's Seireitei is indeed..."
He seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head: "Forget it, no matter what, it's really hard for you today."
"Where does the hard work come from?"
Duan Mu patted his pocket: "Compared to other jobs, this job is actually the easiest." After saying that, Duan Mu looked up at the sky and continued:
"It's getting late, so I went back first. During this time, I was busy with Seireitei's commission, so I have been living in the comprehensive first aid center. If you need anything, you can always have someone come to the comprehensive first aid center to find me. Usually at night
I will stay there."
"Um."
…
Bidding farewell to Aizen, Duanmu headed straight towards the comprehensive first aid center.
Duan Mu didn't think deeply about Aizen's words.
Because you don’t need to think about it to know that this guy just wants to use vague words to influence his judgment.
Duan Mu is very clear about the virtues of Seireitei and does not need Aizen to remind him.
but……
There is one thing that Duan Mu doesn't understand.
That's why Aizen suddenly did some special training.
Do you blame yourself for the death of a soldier?
If his every move wasn't under surveillance, Duan Mu would have wanted to rub the goosebumps on his body with his hands.
Duan Mu had a reasonable suspicion that even if he didn't kill the soldier himself, he definitely had something to do with it.
Ring ring ring ring~~
At this moment, the command machine in Duan Mu's arms suddenly rang.
Duan Mu took it out and took a look. When he saw the contact, he was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He finally understood why Aizen suddenly wanted to undergo some special training.
"Boss."
As soon as the call was connected, Qing Yuanbo's anxious voice came over: "The eldest lady of the Kuchiki family that you brought our attention to, her spiritual power fluctuations suddenly disappeared."
"Disappeared?"
Duan Mu's face changed: "What did the Technology Development Bureau say...that the monitoring circuit was faulty? Did Lucia's command machine...the signal also disappear? I'll go to the supervision team right away, and I'll follow you when I arrive.
Let’s talk about it in detail.”
After finishing his words, Duan Mu stepped on the ground with one foot, and his whole person disappeared into thin air.
However, the missing Duan Mu was not found.
Not long after he left, two figures slowly emerged from the void and landed where Duan Mu had previously stood.
One of them, a figure with an eye patch and slightly dark skin, looked at the direction Duan Mu was leaving and frowned.
"how?"
Next to him, there was a figure with short light purple hair, and a strange smile on his face: "Captain Dongxian, did you have murderous intentions against him? Haven't you always claimed that you are unwilling to participate in meaningless battles?"
Dongxian slowly withdrew his gaze, his eyes completely covered by the blindfold, and looked at Ichimaru Gin next to him: "For the sake of justice, necessary sacrifices are needed, not to mention..."
"It's not meaningless."
Dong Xian wanted to pause for a moment and said in a solemn tone: "The other captains do not have a clear understanding of the strength of the Ten Blades, but we are very aware of the power of the Ten Blades; and such a powerful existence was killed and injured in his hands.
It’s enough to illustrate his threat.”
"I have fought with him before. He was far less powerful than he is now, but he was already able to cause me trouble. And his inexplicable growth rate is the most terrifying thing in my opinion. And...I
I always feel like he knows something."
"Oh my, it's really scary."
Ichimaru Gin said with a joking smile: "Killing people just because they grow fast is not what a person who calls himself 'just' should think... But when it comes to justice, he is a wandering soul.
The most well-known philanthropic person in the street is probably the type who can get along well with you, Captain Dongxian, right?"
"Those who do good things may not necessarily be good people." Dongxian shook his head and didn't say much.
"Yeah?"
Ichimaru Gin crossed his hands in front of him and reached into his sleeves: "On the contrary, I think that if a person only kills the people who deserve to be killed, and does his best to do good things.
"That……"
"Before he did bad things, he was always a kind and good person, no matter what his nature was."
"And what if..."
"A person who is essentially a good person but does all the evil things is just a bad person, no matter what the reason."
Hearing this, Tōsen Kaname took a deep look at Gin Ichimaru.
"Don't look at me like that, it's scary."
Even so, there was no fear on Ichimaru Gin's face. Instead, his smile became more and more joking: "Captain Aizen, what do you think?"
"Interesting statement."
A faint voice came, and Aizen's figure came closer and closer. When he came close to the two of them, he said calmly: "It is indeed as Yin said, no matter what his nature is, he is a kind person.
Good people."
"Because good and evil in this world have always been judged by actions."
"because……"
"Most of the creatures in this world are only willing to believe in 'facts' that are beneficial to them. They expect him to be a good person, and because of their expectations..."
Aizen glanced at the direction Duan Mu left, with a slight smile on his face:
"You can only be a good person."
"But in fact, for most creatures, those things that they are unwilling to believe and that are not good for them are the real reality."
"Lord Aizen."
A flash of hesitation flashed across Dong Xianyao's face.
"I know what you're worried about, please."
Aizen shook his head slightly: "There is no need for this. As long as you still have legs and can walk, you will inevitably encounter stumbling blocks in your life, but no one will change the path to avoid stumbling blocks; people who will be tripped will,
I have no right to continue walking on the road."
"Some smart people are always more stupid than stupid people!"
Aizen slowly turned his head and stepped out in the direction of the 46th room of Mao: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of stumbling blocks you encounter, as long as you advance and retreat together with me..."
"There is a smooth road ahead of us!"
…
Nowadays, Karakura Town, Minamigawase.
The full moon is high.
Rukia Kuchiki stood on the telephone pole next to the street, looking at the command machine in her hand, and frowned slightly.
"Why is this happening?"
Whether it's the instructions received or the breath felt, it all shows this area.
But I don’t know why…
When she came here, she inexplicably lost track of Xu.
Even the follow-up summons from the Technology Development Bureau was terminated, as if contact was severed.
Kuchiki Rukia withdrew her command machine and looked around.
At this moment, the lights on the second floor of the building opposite her suddenly turned on. A high school student with conspicuous orange broken hair walked into the bedroom, threw his schoolbag on the bed, and muttered:
"What the hell? Why are everyone in my family like this..."
The breath is getting closer.
Rukia Kuchiki had a look of vigilance on her face, but the streets were still empty, with no sign of Kyū appearing at all.
After pondering for a while, she glanced at the bedroom with lights on, jumped from the telephone pole and entered the building.
Although the view is wider when standing on a telephone pole, Xu is hiding, probably because he saw himself, so entering the building will probably lure him out.
What's more...
Regardless of whether the field of vision is wide or not, as long as the virtual one is close, she will be able to detect its location immediately.
"Black-tailed swallowtail butterfly...?"
Ignoring the murmurs of the orange-haired boy in the room, Kuchiki Rukia completely focused her perception on searching for Hollow after falling into the room.
"Closer again."
And just then...
Bang~~!
The sudden attack caught Kuchiki Rukia off guard and was kicked out. The huge force caused her to slide all the way from the middle of the bedroom to the entrance of the door.
Um?
Lucia turned her head in confusion and looked at the high school student behind her who had kicked her. Her eyes were full of disbelief and confusion.
I...was kicked by a human??
"So close to you, idiot!!"
The orange-haired boy scolded with a dark face: "Since when did thieves become so blatant? You're even closer. What are you referring to? Do you want to steal something?"
"???"
Lucia blinked, then faced the boy pointing at her and said tentatively: "You...can you see me?"
"What are you talking about that is incomprehensible? Of course..."
Bang--!
Before the orange-haired boy finished speaking, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in and kicked directly from behind the orange-haired boy.
"Ichigo, you are too noisy! Don't bang on the second floor."
The boy known as Ichigo steadied himself in the next second, and then...
Lift your legs, turn around, and wheel your feet, all in one go!
After a bang, the person who came was kicked out by him.
"You're so annoying!" After that, he pointed at Lucia and said, "Have you seen this guy? The thieves have entered the house. How do you do security work?"
"What are you looking at?"
The visitor said with a confused look, he was a middle-aged man in a white coat.
"What else can we see? This guy is dressed like a samurai..."
"it's useless."
Lucia stood up and patted the non-existent dust on her clothes, and said calmly: "Ordinary people can't see me, I am the God of Death!"
grim Reaper?
Ichigo was slightly startled and looked at Rukia with an incomprehensible expression.
However……
The two of them didn't notice that after Ichigo mentioned the words "dress like a samurai", the middle-aged man frowned slightly, but then relaxed and backed away with a curse.
In the room, Rukia began to explain the meaning of death to Ichigo.
"In other words, you are the God of Death. You come from a place called Soul Society and work tirelessly to exorcise evil spirits..."
Ichigo didn't care much at first, pretending to continue to lie, but when he heard the word "evil spirit", he frowned and asked, "The evil spirit you are talking about refers to the kind of giant monster."
…Can a monster with a strange white bone mask on its face and tentacles on its head simulate a human being?”
"Um?"
Rukia was stunned when she heard this. She originally thought that the other party would not believe her so easily, but she didn't expect that the other party not only believed her, but also revealed the physical characteristics of Hollow, although it was somewhat inconsistent to simulate a human being.
"Have you seen Xu?"
Ichigo did not answer, but after hesitating for a moment, he asked: "So, are there any of you Shinigami who wear...well, black clothes, short black hair, and black high boots?"
Black clothes, short black hair, black high boots?
I always feel that this image looks strangely familiar.
but……
Lucia shook her head: "Although I don't know what you are talking about, I can be sure that the person you are talking about is definitely not a god of death, because all the gods of death are wearing the same clothes as me, and they are all wearing death tyrant uniforms."
"Tch, then you say such misleading words."
Hearing this, Ichigo suddenly lost interest and waved his hands with a look of disgust: "Returning to Death? Sorry, I have never seen Death in my life. I only believe in what I have seen."
"Hey!! Didn't you already believe it just now?"
"Who would believe a sneaky guy like you? I just wanted to ask... No, it's my fault. How could you, a guy wearing straw sandals and dressed in a poor way, know that person?
