Duan Mu slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the familiar ceiling and the familiar beeping sound of the surrounding medical equipment.
Intensive care unit.
Coming here after a long time, although Duan Mu felt a little helpless, he was more relieved.
"Are you awake!?"
Some surprising sounds came from around me.
Only then did Duan Mu realize that there were many people surrounding his hospital bed.
Nayura stood on the right side of the hospital bed, and behind Nayura stood the extremely tall Yone Kotetsu.
"Did you wake up quickly?"
A gentle voice came from the left. Duan Mu turned his head and saw that it was Uzhihua Lie.
Behind Unohana Retsu stood Zaraki Kenpachi, Yachiru, Madarame Ikkaku, Ayasekawa Koshin, Ohmaeda Kichiyo, and the last one was Abarai Renji.
The people here, without exception, were all people who did not rush to Room 46 at that time.
Too……
Duan Mu broke into Room 46 and used the command machine to send a group message to them.
wrong
Duan Mu didn't send any message to Zaraki Kenpachi and Yachiru. Zaraki Kenpachi didn't give any instructions to the god machine at all. Because he thought it was troublesome, he and Yachiru were not included in Duanmu's plan at all.
But the two of them did not rush to room 46 like other captains, which was normal...
"Trash, I haven't gone yet, why did you fall down?"
Ignoring Kenpachi's extremely unhappy words, Duan Mu turned to look at Captain Unohana and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"one day."
one day!?
Duan Mu frowned, it's been too long.
"Boss Duan Mu...is the message you sent me earlier true?"
At this moment, Abarai Renji suddenly rushed to the hospital bed and said anxiously: "Four..."
But before he could finish speaking, Ohmaeda on the side suddenly hit his abdomen with his elbow, blocking his next words.
"At the same time that you caused this incident, a major event also happened in this world."
Ohmaeda looked at Duan Mu and said in a serious tone: "A Daxu appeared in the world, and secretly maneuvered to discover a Quincy and an unknown Shinigami at the scene, as well as... Rukia Kuchiki, who had lost the power of the Shinigami."
"Secret Mobile immediately reported the matter to Mao's 46th Chamber. Room 46 issued a verdict and ordered Secret Mobile to arrest the major violator, Rukia Kuchiki, and punish her with double death!"
Ohmaeda paused for a moment, then turned to look at Renji Abarai beside him: "At this time, Captain Kuchiki is negotiating with Captain Broken Bee, hoping that the secret maneuver can hand over the task of capturing Rukia Kuchiki to the six of them.
The squad will handle it."
When Duan Mu heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he was not surprised by the news.
But Aizen's actions were more decisive than he imagined.
If they were carried out at the same time, it means that before he raided Room 46, he had already anticipated what might happen next.
Plan ahead
It also means insufficient preparation.
and……
Duan Mu glanced at Uozhihua Lie, who had a gentle smile on his face from beginning to end. The others were just incidental. Duan Mu didn't expect them to find anything.
However, when Unohana Retsu disrupted Aizen's plan, he knew everything in advance and observed with precautions, he might be able to gain something.
However, Aizen was obviously prepared for this, otherwise he would not have advanced his original plan so far.
It can be said that my original plan has completely failed.
Even the backup plan prepared for encountering Aizen was not even given a chance to be used.
The last third option is an alternative after the first two fail. If the first two fail, the third alternative may catch Aizen.
The premise is that you can survive.
Fortunately, Nayura did not deceive herself on this point, kept her promise, and saved her own life, although the method she used was a bit strange.
If all three options fail...
Duan Mu could only lament that there might be an undead named 'Ram' floating in the sky above the Soul Society, who set the standard for the robber industry, and he just happened to look at him with compassionate eyes.
As long as Unohana Retsu feels something is wrong, she will continue to investigate even without Duan Mu's guidance.
Duan Mu had no idea what changes she might bring about by launching the investigation in advance.
Even if she knew it, she was helpless. With the added physical strength, the knotted injuries were barely sustained without collapse, but the experience points provided by Nayura were actually not much.
However, compared to when we met in Rukongai, there are still many differences.
Probably because at this time, she already had a substantial status, not as a sage who had no power before the inheritance, but as the chief secretary of the Great Spirit Book Corridor.
The favorability of 65 points provided Duan Mu with nearly 10,000 experience points in total.
Even though these experience points were all added to the body, Duan Mu's knot was still not completely restored.
This shows how terrifying the destructive power of Aizen's sword is!
However, although the damage was serious, Duan Mu also had an unexpected gain.
That is the opportunity to crack the mystery.
Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu is a Zanpakutō that once activated can gain absolute dominance.
If the user was not Aizen, Kyoka Suigetsu's ability would not be so powerful.
Because there is a possibility that the change of Kyoka Suigetsu itself can be suppressed with more powerful spiritual pressure.
However, this cannot be applied to Aizen, because his spiritual pressure has reached an extremely terrifying level. It is not an exaggeration to call him one of the few people whose spiritual pressure has reached the peak of the Shinigami.
The future Aizen can even confuse the future foreseen by the 'omniscience', turning the foreseen future into a fictional future.
Although due to the limitation of spiritual pressure intensity, this confusion did not last long.
But it is enough to show how powerful its capabilities are.
So if he wanted to decipher Jing Hua Shui Yue, Duan Mu didn't think of a good way through memory and constant research.
There are just a few types.
to be blind;
Touch the blade before activating full hypnosis;
Find ways to bind and grasp its true nature;
Or it may interfere with the line of sight and cause changes in one's field of vision, thus making one feel uncomfortable in an instant. This is the method of 'anaesthetizing oneself' that Duan Mu once used.
Among them, as a blind man, after having seen the beginning of the story of Mirror Flowers, Water Moon, Duan Mu will still be controlled by Mirror Flowers, Water Moon, even if he pokes his own eyes.
As for touching the blade...
After your plan fails, you may not have a knife to touch in the future.
Several methods can be said to be failed methods.
But after being struck by Aizen, Duan Mu made a new discovery.
That is to feel it with your body...
Strictly speaking, this is not actually a discovery, it was just ignored by Duan Mu.
Because in his memory, Captain Yamamoto used this method to capture the location of Aizen's body after resisting a knife attack.
However, he is also a monster, and Duan Mu had never thought of learning from him before.
His method is not suitable for Duan Mu, because Captain Yamamoto’s cracking method can be described as ‘simple and crude’.
In short... since it is impossible to see through the mirror, everything in a certain space should be destroyed, or even die together to maximize the damage.
This method is also a large-scale ghost path coverage that Duan Mu has never thought of.
Neither his spiritual pressure nor his attainments in the ghost path could support Duan Mu to imitate him.
Kyoka Suigetsu is not perfect. As long as the spiritual pressure is strong enough, it will still feel a little inconsistent. However, considering the rapidly changing battlefield situation, the instantaneous interference is already a great advantage.
In addition, Kyoka Suigetsu also has a huge disadvantage, that is, maintaining Kyoka Suigetsu requires a large amount of spiritual pressure, but Aizen's huge spiritual pressure covers up this shortcoming to a certain extent.
But judging from the situation where Aizen was eager to return to Mao's 46th room before all the captains and deputy captains arrived at the scene, Nayura's father, if the captains gathered at the same time, even with his huge spiritual pressure, he might not be able to
Maintain the illusion of perfection.
And after that, the real Aizen had probably quietly exchanged words with Tosen Kaname who came over.
At that time, it was actually the best time to reveal Aizen's identity. Unfortunately, Duan Mu did not dare to make everything public because he was severely injured and had no ability to resist.
After all, if Aizen wanted to kill him, Duanmu would not even have the chance to retreat behind Captain Yamamoto.
As he said when accepting the commission, what he needs is an escape route that he can control, rather than betting his life on whether others can rescue him in time.
Back to business.
The moment the long knife pierced the knot, Duan Mu felt Aizen's presence firsthand.
even……
At that moment, Duan Mu's crazily running spirit pattern absorbed and retained a trace of Jing Hua Shui Yue's energy from that knife!
This was not Duan Mu's intention. After all, at that time, all his focus was on unlocking the thirteenth layer of barriers, and he never thought that the 'Dongxian Fortress' would be freed from its constraints so quickly.
However, the spirit void pattern is created by the fusion of the development spirit pattern and the virtual pattern, and has two characteristics at the same time. While Duan Mu is frantically consuming his own spiritual pressure, the spirit void pattern is also frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual beings.
If it were just that, it still wouldn't be possible.
But Aizen's knife pierced the most important part of the spiritual body, and it was also one of the acupuncture points that produced spiritual power.
Duan Mu immediately invested his experience points to prevent the collapse of his own knot, and at the same time, he also saved all the energy that overflowed from the destroyed knot, and then it was forcibly absorbed by the spirit void pattern.
Finally, by chance, I succeeded in retaining this ray...
Belongs to the energy of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon!
It's not Aizen's spiritual pressure, but the energy of Kyoka Suigetsu's ability itself, which has the same nature as it. It can also be said to be the residue left after the illusion is shattered.
This unexpected gain can be said to be Duan Mu's biggest gain in this plan.
Even if the plan succeeds, the rewards may not be as huge as this.
What's more...
He also earned a sister who is the sage of the Central Forty-six Chambers... She is also considered to be the person with the largest backing in the Soul Society.
but……
Thinking of what Nayura called him in the past, Duan Mu still felt an inexplicable sense of violation in his heart.
…
In the next few days, Duan Mu stayed in the intensive care unit and was cared for by Nayura.
Among them, Jinyinhui came to ask for help several times, but Captain Uzhihua kept the two of them in the comprehensive rescue center on the grounds that Duan Mu's injury was not yet stable.
The Golden Seal Society did not comment on this, but it seemed that the 46th room of Mao Yang was indeed conducting an important meeting as Nayura's "father" said and had completely closed it down.
Maozhihualie doesn't know what she is busy with these days, and she often disappears.
And Kuchiki Rukia...
Without any surprise, he was captured and the execution time was set.
The successive incidents have filled the Seireitei with a strange sense of depression.
…
"...Konghe, you don't have to worry too much, Duan Mu is currently in the fourth division."
In the living room of Zhibo's house, a man and a woman were sitting opposite each other. The pale middle-aged man in the middle smiled slightly and said:
"Moreover, the comprehensive rescue center is now surrounded by covert mobile and 10th division team members. A captain will stay there every day, so his safety can still be guaranteed."
Kong He curled his lips when he heard this: "To take care of you is to take care of me, I made you say it as if you were protecting Duan Mu."
"Isn't it?"
Ukitake Jushiro picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip: "Konghe, do you know why Duan Mu and Nayura-sama went to break into the forty-sixth room together?"
"How could I possibly know, but..."
Konghe paused for a moment and said without hesitation: "Since he did this, there must be a reason for him to do it. What's more, this incident was caused by Nayula-sama who was worried about her father's safety. She has to bear the main responsibility."
She should be the one responsible."
"Is there any reason for him to do this?"
Ukitake Jushiro slowly put down his wine glass and said as if talking to himself:
"I really didn't understand why he forced his way into Room 46 at first, and I didn't understand why Nayura was worried about her father's safety, but..."
"If you combine these with the recent actions and sentences of the Forty-sixth Chamber, I suddenly have an idea."
"I'm not the only one who feels something is wrong because of what Duan Mu did."
"However, Chunshui's guess is different from mine. What he guessed was that someone was interfering with the decision of Room 46, but what I thought made me a little unbelievable."
"Except for the two of us, both Captain Broken Bee and Captain Aizen were vaguely aware that something was wrong and secretly launched an investigation..."
"That's it!"
Konghe waved his hand and said angrily: "What's the use of telling me this? I'm just a pyrotechnics master in Rukongai now. As long as Duan Mu is safe, I have absolutely nothing to do with you Shinigami."
Interested in understanding.”
Hearing this, Ukitake Jushiro couldn't help but shook his head and did not continue.
