As the spiritual pressure in the palm surged, a barrier blocking the exploration was immediately formed, wrapping the entire captain's office in it.
"Brother Duan Mu, why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
The black shadow on the desk made a joke, raised the cat's paw, licked it, and then wiped it on his face.
If he wasn't very clear about this person's true identity, Duan Mu might really think that... the black figure lying on his desk was just a talking black cat.
"I can't help it, there are too many people monitoring me."
A smile appeared on Duan Mu's face almost instinctively: "Since I entered the Seireitei through the Konghe cannon, you should have heard what Sister Konghe told me about my current situation."
Although he didn't know why Ye Yi appeared here, Duan Mu couldn't help but his eyes lit up after seeing Ye Yi.
If you can gain this person's favorability and make friends with her, you will be able to replenish your almost exhausted experience points.
When Yoruichi heard this, he looked straight at Duan Mu with a pair of vertical pupils, and spoke in a calm and powerful male voice: "But Kong He didn't tell me that you became the captain of the ninth division."
Although Kūkaku said that if you need help in Seireitei, you can come to find Duanmu, and she also believed in Kūkaku. But she only had contact with this guy a few times, and even Urahara Kisuke thought he was hiding a lot.
She really couldn't believe Konghe just because of his words.
Moreover, Kūkaku did not tell her that Duan Mu has now become the captain of the ninth division. No, no one in the entire Rukongai knows this.
Did Kūkaku deliberately hide himself, or did Duanmu hide it from everyone in Rukongai, including Kūkaku?
Of course, these are just objective reasons for her not trusting Duan Mu.
The subjective reasons are simple and direct...
Like Kukaku, she particularly hates guys who pretend to be good guys. She has no idea what is hidden behind their smiles, and whether they will stab her in the back when she trusts him!
"I also came to Seireitei yesterday and was suddenly assigned here."
Duanmu smiled slightly and was not annoyed by Yoruichi's suspicion. Instead, he patiently recounted what happened after arriving at the Seireitei yesterday.
"So strictly speaking, I am not the captain of the 9th Division. It's just that my Master House received a special commission from the Gotei 13th Division."
Entrusted to be captain?
Even though he had thought about many possibilities, Duan Mu's words still put a very human look of confusion on Yoruichi's cat face.
Although there have been situations where the captain was unfortunately killed and the deputy captain acted as the acting captain, this was the first time she had seen this kind of cunning operation of recruiting an outsider to be the captain.
but……
Strictly speaking, this frivolous operation seems to be the beginning of a broken bee.
Initially, she felt that an unstable factor like Duanmu might destroy the stability of the Seireitei if left in Rukongai, so she simply kept him by her side, allowing him to work for her while making it easier to monitor.
And what Captain Yamamoto is doing now...
It's exactly like a broken bee.
In their eyes, is this kid so useful?
"Speaking of which, Mr. Ye Da, why did you come to my place?"
Duan Mu chuckled and stopped using honorifics. There is absolutely no need to use honorifics between friends. Although it is not the case now, friends in the future will also be friends!
"I originally planned to go home first, but as soon as I landed, I found that someone in the ninth district had targeted me, and Tōsen Kaname was already dead, so I came to see who it was." Yoichi.
He stood up from the table and stretched lazily: "I didn't expect to see you as soon as I came here."
"I've finished answering, can you also answer my question?"
"Um?"
"Why did you force your way into Room 46?"
Duan Mu glanced at Ye Yi when he heard this, and did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked directly at Ye Yi, with a blue aperture appearing around his dark pupils.
Ye Yi frowned when she saw this, but before she could take any action, she heard Duan Mu say:
"Sorry, I need to confirm 'whether you are you' before I can give an answer."
Hearing this, Ye Yi seemed to have thought of something, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He did not dodge, but allowed Duan Mu to observe.
However, Duan Mu didn't make any further observations. The halo in his eyes disappeared after he finished speaking, and then he said:
"You must have heard the reason why I forced my way into Room 46."
Duan Mu paused for a moment: "When Awanmen Nayura, who is now my adopted sister, came to me, she said that she suspected something had happened to the 46th room of Zhenyang, and then I took her to Zhenyang.
Room 46 was severely damaged by Captain Dongxian Yao in the end."
"This is a widely circulated statement."
"But actually..."
"Before Nayura came to me, I had already vaguely noticed something was wrong with Mao's 46th room, and the reason was because of Rukia Kuchiki who went to the real world."
"When she disappeared in the present world, the supervision team and the Technology Development Bureau submitted a report together. However, the reply given by Room 46 was uncharacteristic. They just ordered the supervision team to pay attention to the present world at all times; instead of directly sending secret agents as usual,
Move forward to investigate."
"If that's the case, it can be explained by the fact that Mao No. 46 did not want to deal with the major disciplinary violations related to Kuchiki Rukia due to the four nobles. But then they refused to do the Thirteenth Edition on the grounds that 'her whereabouts are unknown'
The team sent people to replace her application. At that time, I had a vague feeling that there was something strange in Room 46 of Zhenyang, and I had a suspect."
"I wonder if Store Manager Urahara has ever told you that when I first arrived at Rukongai and my strength was still weak, many people had secretly observed me and even manipulated me from behind, causing me to fall into some dangers."
"It's just that when I became stronger, these secret observations disappeared."
Duan Mu's words can be said to be true or false. Duan Mu has never stopped investigating those who have secretly observed him.
But as he said, when his strength became stronger, those observations disappeared without a trace, making it impossible for Duan Mu to continue tracing.
However, he didn't care too much.
The guy who can only secretly observe him when he is weak has already shown that the other party is not as strong as Aizen, or that the other party does not want to be traced to 'ta' by him now.
"So after entering the Seireitei, I have never stopped investigating. I even learned from the secret maneuver... about the defection of Miss Yoichi and Urahara Kisuke, and from the mouths of the old team members who experienced that incident.
I learned the explanation given by the Urahara store manager at the time.”
“Ultimately, we locked onto a target and took the initiative to start close contact with them.”
"The more contact I had with him, the more I could sense the danger he was in."
"But I couldn't be sure until the incident where I forced myself into Mao's room 46."
"The person who severely injured me outside Mao 46 was not Tosen Kaname."
"But..."
"Captain of the fifth division, Sosuke Aizen!"
When Yoruichi heard this, she gave Duan Mu a deep look, filled with surprise. She really never thought that anyone in the Seireitei would notice something strange about Aizen.
And it was only through these fragmentary information that we were able to investigate to this extent.
But she didn't know...
Duan Mu completely reversed the process when he knew the result, so that he knew the result became reasonable.
And the reason why he did this...
The purpose is extremely pure!
Just to gain Yoruichi's trust and gain the opportunity to make friends with him.
Of course, it's just an opportunity.
If you want to further gain the other party's friendship, this kind of careful tactics is completely useless, but it can easily be self-defeating.
It is far inferior to sincere contact and interaction with the other party.
"And the Forty-sixth Chamber of Zhenyang is not as widely circulated. There are only a few judges and council members left, but they have all been destroyed." Duan Mu said and sighed slightly: "But this point, even if
If I tell you, no one will believe me, so I can only pretend that I don’t know anything.”
"I didn't say it was correct."
At one o'clock in the night, he nodded: "Kisuke also told about Aizen in the 46th room, but in the end, neither the 46th room of Mao nor Captain Yamamoto believed what he said; the old man of the captain, although he is very
He has a vision, but perhaps because he is too strong, he neglects to think deeply about details."
"Before you really catch Aizen's flaw, if you rush to tell him about Aizen, you may end up with the same fate as Kisuke and I."
[Sifengyuan Yeyi's favorability is 1, gain 600 experience points, current favorability: 1]
600 points!?
Duan Mu's eyes lit up, this was already nearly twice the level of Captain Broken Bee at the same level of favorability.
As expected, he is the former head of the Sifengyuan family!
The system prompts in his mind made Duan Mu's serious and heavy expression unbearable, and he almost burst into tears.
Duan Mu looked at Ye Yi who was deep in thought and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Think about it carefully...
It seems that I really don’t understand Yoruichi’s preferences very well.
Although I met Yoruichi once at Urahara Store, I basically had no conversation with him that time. And the second time I went there... Yoruichi had already left for fun, so naturally there was no chance to make friends with him.
Therefore, Duan Mu's understanding of Ye Yi is entirely based on the information in his memory.
In addition, she left Soul Society a hundred years ago, and there is no detailed information about her preferences even in the Seireitei.
The only thing Duan Mu knows is...
She is very good at eating.
Just when Duan Muzai was thinking about asking the cafeteria to cook a rich lunch for Yoruichi, Yoichi suddenly said: "Regarding the matter of Room 46 of Mao, I will go home first and then go to investigate."
"And in the meantime..."
Ye Yi raised his head and looked at Duan Mu: "Try to pay more attention to the boys who came with me."
"I'm not very good at tracking the binding, but you should be very good at it."
Yoruichi remembers it very clearly...
Duanmu, who was still very weak at the time, used his improved binding method to lock onto Urahara Kisuke when he first went to the living world.
This is enough to show his attainments in Tao binding.
No~
Strictly speaking...
Yoruichi's eyes towards Duan Mu became a little weird. Although this brat had only been in Soul Society for a short time, his mastery of the four major techniques of the Death God - Zhan Fist Demon Walking was so strong that she felt
incredible.
Because this is not something that can be achieved simply by strong spiritual pressure, such as Kurosaki Ichigo...
After awakening, his spiritual pressure was extremely close to the captain level, but he couldn't even master the most basic method of using spiritual power to release Kidō. It took him a day and night to learn how to use a spiritual power core.
It can be said that...
He basically has no talent at all when it comes to ghost ways, and teaching him ghost ways is a complete waste of time.
But on the contrary, he has a strong talent in slicing. In the past ten days, during the non-stop fight with Urahara Kisuke, Kurosaki Ichigo's skills in slicing have improved by leaps and bounds.
Four words to describe it.
In the Seireitei, there are actually not a few people who are as partial to science as he is.
On the contrary, a guy like Duan Mu, who is so comprehensive and has extremely high attainments in every aspect, is extremely rare in Soul Society.
People like him are basically veteran captains who have lived for a long time.
Even those who have become captains in the past hundred years mostly have certain attainments in one or both of them.
Among these captains, he is the one most similar to Kurosaki Ichigo.
No doubt about it…
It is none other than the current captain of Squad 11, Kenpachi Zaraki!
The reason why this happens is entirely because techniques such as fist-cutting and ghost walking require long years of study and accumulation before one can achieve certain attainments.
certainly……
The main reason is that in the Shinigami system, the strength of spiritual pressure is fundamental, and combat skills can only gain a huge advantage when the spiritual pressure is about the same.
Therefore, except for those veteran captains who have developed their spiritual pressure and Zanpakutō to the extreme, others should pay more attention to enhancing their spiritual pressure and developing their Zanpakutō abilities than Zanken Kizai.
Because of this, Duan Mu's abilities made her feel incredible.
If the captain in Soul Society who is most similar to Ichigo Kurosaki is Kenpachi Zaraki, then the captain who is most similar to Duanki in Yoruichi's opinion...is Sosuke Aizen.
Whether it's in terms of personality or mastery of combat skills.
besides……
Seeing the change in his eyes just now, Yoruichi felt inexplicably locked in at that moment.
Rather than being locked in, it is better to say that the sense of one's own existence is infinitely amplified at the moment of being watched.
Although Duan Mu was watching her, she felt that his attention was not on her.
A self-created binding path?
"If it's just tracking, I can still do it."
Duan Mu pondered for a moment: "But if they encounter any danger, I can't leave here and go to help them."
"My current situation may sound like an acting captain, but in reality it is no different from house arrest. I cannot leave District 9 privately."
"It is impossible for me to put myself in danger for some strangers just because of your words, Lord Yoruichi. Therefore, unless Brother Yanjiu is in danger, it is absolutely impossible for me to leave the jurisdiction of Division 9."
"Of course, if they come to District 9, it will be a different matter."
"Um."
Ye Yi nodded: "That's enough!"
If Duan Mu agreed straight away, she would have doubts.
After all, Duan Mu didn't know Kurosaki Ichigo and others at all, and he didn't know their purpose of coming to Soul Society, so how could he risk being punished by Captain Yamamoto to help them.
