Duan Mu stood by the window, looking at the sun-like sphere above the Seireitei.
That guy Rock Eagle actually dared to follow me.
Feeling the familiar atmosphere in the sphere, Duan Mu couldn't help but shake his head.
Unlike the last time, this was the second time he had trespassed into the Seireitei. If the circumstances were not special, the Gotei 13th Division would definitely liquidate him after the incident was over.
But his coming this time should have been signaled by Sister Konghe. Since he was asked to come, Sister Konghe must be sure to save Yanjiu's life.
However, in order to avoid accidents, it is better to keep an eye on him carefully.
Buzz~~
The space shook, and the spherical super-hard spirit son wall in the air gradually dissolved, forming a whirlpool-like spirit son storm.
immediately……
Swish swish swish~~
Four meteors flew out from the spherical super-hard spirit wall, passed over the Seireitei, and headed towards various areas.
…
boom--!
There was a huge explosion, causing endless dust to rise into the sky.
"Cough cough cough~~ I didn't expect your strange spell... cough..."
Kurosaki Ichigo coughed a few times, spit out the sand in his mouth, and said quite unexpectedly: "It can actually be used, otherwise we would be dead if we fell from such a height."
"Cough cough cough~~"
Yanjiu coughed hard a few times and said calmly: "What is a strange spell? This is my unique skill. The last time I used it was when Duan Mu and I fought side by side in Rukongai; if it weren't for me,
With one move, the Mr. Duanmu you call might have died in Rukongai."
"Haha~~"
A slightly sarcastic laugh came, but this laughter was not made by Kurosaki Ichigo.
After realizing this, the expressions of Kurosaki Ichigo and Shiba Iwajiu couldn't help but change, and they looked around following the laughter.
Almost at the same time as they looked, two figures jumped down from the building.
"I really don't know whether I should say bad luck or good luck."
One of the young men carrying a Zanpakutō with a reflective head grinned: "Originally, I didn't want to follow Boss Zaraki around, so I found a place to be lazy. Unexpectedly, prey fell from the sky."
"Hiss~~"
After seeing the two people clearly, Yanjiu's expression suddenly changed: "How could it be so unlucky? I met them right after I got here."
"Huh? Do you know them?"
Iwajigo's words made Kurosaki Ichigo startled.
"Now is not the time to explain. These two guys are not something we can deal with. Run away!!"
"Escape? Are you kidding?"
"Are you an idiot? Even if you don't know them, you should be able to feel that their spiritual power is not that of ordinary shinigami, right?" Yanjiu said, glanced at the two people, and found that neither of them looked at him, but turned their gazes
They were all placed on Kurosaki Ichigo beside him.
"Aren't you ready to come out?"
Madarame looked at Ichigo Kurosaki who was in the sand pit and said impatiently: "I have no interest in bullying someone who is in the sand pit."
"I told you that these two people are very powerful, why don't you believe it?"
Listening to the increasingly louder sounds of the rock eagle, a vein bulged in the corner of Madarame's eye.
"I'm not afraid of them, the main thing is that both of them are Duan Mu's friends, and Duan Mu is my number one brother. If I accidentally hit them hard and beat them up, I won't be able to explain Duan Mu's side.
ah."
As soon as these words came out, even the feather eye ornament on Ayase River's right eye couldn't help but tremble.
endure!
"If you want to run away, run away!"
Kurosaki Ichigo jumped out of the sand pit, stood on the ground and said seriously: "I will never run away before I rescue Rukia."
"I really don't know how good-looking that Lucia is, that she makes you risk your life like this."
After saying that, Iwajiu stood up and jumped out of the sand pit, but instead of jumping to Madarame Ikkaku and the two of them, he jumped out from the other side of the sand pit, and then...
Run away!
"I ran away. If you want to beat me, you can beat me yourself."
As the words faded away, the rock eagle turned a corner and disappeared from the sight of several people.
But Madarame Ikkaku, who was standing there, and Ayase River were kissing each other, seemed not to notice, and just looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with interest.
"Aren't you going to chase me?"
Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the two of them with some doubts. He originally thought that one of the two people would chase the rock eagle, but in the end, both of them acted as if the rock eagle did not exist, and their eyes were focused on him from the beginning to the end.
.
"The intruder is right in front of me, where should we chase?"
Madarame didn't reply, and Ayase River on the side moved his hair: "Since we came here, we only saw you as an intruder. We didn't see that you only played with sand and fireworks, and you dared to come and invade the Seireitei.
Idiot."
Didn’t see the Rock Vulture??
Kurosaki Ichigo was startled, and then suddenly remembered what Iwaji had just said.
Both of them are Duan Mu's friends.
Thinking of this, Kurosaki Ichigo did not continue to ask, but slowly drew out his Zanpakutō from behind: "Then should you all come together, or come one by one."
"Don't look at me."
Ayase Chuan frowned: "I will not interfere in Ikkaku's battle..."
Whoosh~~!
The sound of breaking through the air interrupted Ayase River's words. He subconsciously tilted his head, and a big stone flew directly past his head.
"Hey, that ugly guy with a haircut and two bird feathers on his face."
Ayase River Gongqin turned around and saw that the rock eagle that had escaped earlier ran back again at some point, and the words in his mouth made Gongqin's face black out instantly.
"What are you looking at? I'm talking about you. You're still a fighting squad. What kind of fighting squad is two against one?"
Iwaharu looked at the increasingly darker face of Ayasegawa Kyoumei and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He hangs out in the tavern every day, so he naturally knows the strength of Ayasegawa Kyoumei and Madarame Ikkaku.
However, it was clear that it was absolutely impossible for him to abandon his companions and run away alone.
"Asshole, I don't want to care about you. Are you finished yet?"
Under Iwaji's constant stimulation, Ayase Segawa's patience finally reached its limit, and he cursed: "I really don't understand what you are thinking about all day long. If I give you a chance, you should run away quickly. This time
If you are caught again, even Duan Mu will not be able to protect you."
"Do you really think Seireitei is Rukongai? You can just wander around?"
Ayasegawa Gongqin really doesn't understand why this guy Iwajiu wants to get involved when these travelers have already made such a big fuss.
He and Ikkaku Madarame have been hanging out in the Master House Tavern for so many years. It would be absolutely false to say that he has no friendship with Iwajiu. After all, even a dog who has been with him for more than ten years will have some feelings for him.
So he and Ikkaku initially planned to ignore this bastard, as long as the fact that he invaded the Seireitei together with Rika was not exposed, then due to Duanmu's current status in the Seireitei, they later wanted to secretly send him out of the Seireitei.
It's not that difficult.
You can hit him later if you want, since he can't escape anyway.
However……
What they didn't expect was that this bastard came back again after he had obviously escaped.
"Just kidding, it doesn't matter if it's Rukongai or Seireitei."
Yanjiu rummaged through his bag and took out a firework: "There is no place that I don't dare to go."
After saying that, he lit the fireworks in his hands and threw them towards Ayase River.
Ayase River didn't care when he saw this. He waved his Zanpakutō and was cut into two by the fireworks before they came in front of him.
only……
The fireworks that were split into two parts did not contain gunpowder, but... muddy water!
As the shell collapsed, the muddy water that somehow filled the 'fireworks' seemed to be suppressed... and poured out towards the Ayase River.
"..."
With a crash, the entire area fell into silence.
sometimes……
The people who can make you angry all of a sudden are often the friends around you who know you best!
But now, Ayase River, who was drenched in mud and water, was like a volcano about to erupt.
Madarame Ikkaku and Kurosaki Ichigo could not help but move to the side.
The next second, Ayase River Gongshin disappeared directly from the spot.
When he reappeared, he had already arrived in front of Shiba Ganjiu, slashing down with his Zanpakutō.
The sudden attack startled the rock vulture, and it instinctively ducked sideways.
boom!!
The Zanpakutō sank into the ground, terrifying spiritual pressure exploded, and a straight slash spread for more than ten meters.
The sight of this scene made Rock Eagle's hands and feet feel cold.
"I'll wipe it, are you serious!?"
"Hehehe...hehe...hehe..."
"Hey, hey, come on, handsome guy, wait a minute...I'm just going to make a joke to you."
"Shut up, whatever I say today, I will kill you, the intruder of the Seireitei!"
"..."
Following a quarrel, the two gradually moved away.
Kurosaki Ichigo looked back and didn't pay too much attention, because even he could see that the guy named Gongqin didn't have murderous intentions, otherwise the sword just now would have killed the rock eagle.
"The annoying guy is gone, shouldn't we get started?"
Madarame slowly drew out his Zanpakutō, holding the sword in one hand and the sheath in the other. The spiritual pressure around his body surged crazily at this moment.
"Before we begin, can I ask you a question?" Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly said.
"Um?"
"Is the Duanmu you are talking about currently in the Seireitei?"
"exist."
Madarame didn't hide anything. As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the ground with one foot, and his whole body disappeared immediately.
摪——!
The sound of gold and iron clashing was heard, and the two Zanpakutō collided together.
"But you probably won't have the chance to see him!"
…
At the same time, Division 9.
"Captain Duan Mu."
"Good morning, Captain Duan Mu."
"..."
Walking in the opposite building of Division 9, the oncoming team members greeted Duan Mu one after another, and Duan Mu responded one by one.
However, while responding, he activated his detection circuit to the extreme, locking it on Yanjiu at all times to avoid unexpected changes happening to him.
If he encounters an enemy that is difficult to resist, even if he goes against Captain Yamamoto's orders, Duanmu will leave the area under the jurisdiction of the ninth division and go to provide support.
Suddenly, Duan Mu stopped and looked into the distance.
Why did he still get into a fight with Gongqin?
Duanmu was actually not surprised that Ichigo Kurosaki and Iwawashi would meet Madarame Ikkaku and others, because Team 11 had been searching in the Seireitei since yesterday; and Madarame Ikkaku and the others...
It has become normal to hide and take a break while others are working.
The area under the jurisdiction of the 11th Division actually includes Rukongai, and these two people will take over the patrol mission of Rukongai every time, and then go to Duanmu Tavern to drink and fight...
Originally, Duan Mu thought that even if they met, Yanjiu and Ikkaku would not be able to fight.
"never mind."
Duan Mu shook his head and didn't care. Anyway, he couldn't really kill Yanjiu with his own hands. It was a good thing to let him suffer a little loss, so as not to cause trouble everywhere.
"Captain Duan Mu."
At this moment, Hisagi Shuhei walked quickly from the team building. As soon as he arrived in front of Duan Mu, he said in a solemn tone: "The Technology Development Bureau sent out an alarm. I don't know how to break through the soul barrier."
Membrane, now that it has invaded the Seireitei, should we also make some preparations?"
"Um."
Duan Mu nodded: "Let the team members patrol the area, but if they find intruders, don't attack rashly; if there are people who can survive after encountering Captain Ichimaru Gin during the travel accident, attack rashly."
It is very likely to cause serious damage to the team members."
"So once an intruder is discovered, request support first, and I will rush to the scene as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Hisagi Shuhei responded, then hesitated and said: "Judging from the direction in which the travel disasters fell, we can figure out the approximate range of where they landed, and one of them is very close to our jurisdiction. Do we need to send some troops?"
Will the team members go and check it out?"
"Don't worry about it. We send people now and they can't find anyone."
Duan Mu shook his head. He would naturally not be unaware of anything Hisagi Shuhei could discover.
The reason why he said he couldn't find anyone after sending people was entirely because...
The moment the breath fell, it had disappeared and escaped Duan Mu's tracking.
No matter how hard Duan Mu searched, he could not find where she had gone.
It is not difficult to guess who can do this among the invaders.
——Sifengyuan Yoichi!
When Duan Mu first discovered that she had fallen outside the jurisdiction of Division 9, he thought about going to see her, catch up on old times, and make friends... even though he and Yoruichi had nothing "old" to speak of.
As a result, before he could take any action, Yoruichi had already disappeared.
"Can't find anyone?"
Hisagi Shuhei was slightly startled.
"The commander-in-chief's order is that all divisions should guard their respective jurisdictions. Before the purpose of the group of travelers is clear, they should not act rashly to avoid being distracted by the enemy."
After Duan Mu said that, he walked straight towards the office building.
The Ninth Division can be said to be the last line of defense on the way to the Confession Palace. Unless Kurosaki Ichigo and others dig a hole through the ground, they will inevitably pass through the Ninth Division.
although……
In Duan Mu's memory, Kurosaki Ichigo and Iwajiu really dug holes from the ground.
But if you don't say it yourself, who can think of it.
Anyway, as long as he doesn't appear in front of his eyes, he can completely pretend that he doesn't know. The commission he received is only to guard the jurisdiction of the Ninth Division, and he is also explicitly prohibited from leaving the jurisdiction of the Ninth Division.
It's best if no one comes and you can save yourself some trouble.
Squeak~~
Pushing open the door of the captain's office, Duan Mu suddenly stopped in his tracks. Looking at the dark shadow standing on the desk, he froze on the spot.
