"...the third seat of the 11th Division, Madarame Ikkaku, and the fifth seat of the 11th Division, Ayasegawa, were personally involved. The above two officers withdrew from the battle line due to serious injuries."
In the office of the captain of the 9th Division, Hisagi Shuhei reported the information obtained from the vice-captain meeting: "Madarame's injury is more serious, but not life-threatening, and Ayasegawa Kouchika is said to have basically recovered, and now the two of them have
They are all receiving treatment at the comprehensive first aid center."
"The detailed loss reports of each team are still under further statistics. However, the information received about the Eleventh Squadron is that... within a few hours after the invasion of Brigade, almost all the members of the Eleventh Squadron were destroyed.
Overturned."
"According to the third seat of the Fourth Squadron, Iemura Yachiwa, there are currently three people confirmed to be involved in the travel accident, divided into two teams, and two of them are moving towards the Confession Palace."
"One of them is wearing a Death Battle suit, has orange hair, and is holding a very large Zanpakutō."
"As for the person who defeated Ayasegawa Wuxi, according to Ayasegawa Wuxi's original words, that bastard has been carrying out despicable sneak attacks in secret. He did not see the physical characteristics of the attacker."
Shuhei Hisagi reported the information obtained in one breath, and said solemnly: "If nothing unexpected happens, those three travelers may soon come to the jurisdiction of our ninth division."
"Well, I understand."
Duan Mu nodded calmly, but felt helpless in his heart.
Where is Hanataro?
Why doesn't this guy lead the way?
but……
This is actually normal, because compared to what I remember, the time and place of the invasion by Kurosaki Ichigo and others have changed.
Just meeting one of them made Duan Mu feel amazing. If he could still meet Yamada Hanataro as he remembered...
Duanan Mu had no reason to suspect that Hanataro deliberately sent himself into the hands of the two of them in order to help them rescue Rukia.
Having said that.
But this may not be completely impossible, because during the more than a month when Rukia was imprisoned in the cell of the Sixth Division, the person she had the most contact with was Hanataro, who was called to clean the house by the captured young man, and Hanataro was that kind of person.
People who easily treat each other as friends.
Duan Mu shook his head slightly, but did not hesitate.
Anyway, if a few people come to the ninth district, they can just perform their duties as captains. Except for Kurosaki Ichigo, there is no need for the others to leave.
Otherwise, when a group of travellers' misfortunes entered the ninth district, he didn't catch any of them, and it would be hard to explain to old man Yamamoto.
"At this time, all members of the Fourth Division have been dispatched to treat the team members scattered throughout the Seireitei. It is said that in addition to Madarame Ikkaku and Ayase River, there are also officers from other divisions who were seriously injured by the invading cargo."
Hisagi Shuhei's expression was extremely heavy. Although Madarame Ikkaku was not the vice-captain, most of the vice-captains were very aware of his strength.
Being able to defeat Madarame Ikkaku's trip shows that he is at least as strong as the vice-captain of the Gotei 13th Division.
Dang Dang Dang~~
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the captain's room.
"Enter."
Duan Mu responded casually.
A team member then opened the door and walked in, saying in a respectful tone: "Report to the captain, there is a fourth team member named 'Yamada Hanatarō' outside the team building, asking to see you."
What is he doing here?
Duan Mu was slightly startled. He was just wondering why Hanataro wasn't kidnapped, but he didn't expect to hear his name so soon.
"He is my friend, just bring him in."
"yes!"
The team members were not surprised when they heard this. Although they did not know Yamada Hanatarō, after Duan Mu suddenly parachuted in as their captain, the ninth division team members carefully inquired about Duan Mu's previous experience.
So it is clear that Duan Mu has been working in the comprehensive rescue center of the Fourth Division before coming to the Ninth Division. It is normal for him to know people from the Fourth Division.
After the team members retreated, a young man with a nervous look and a timid look walked in not long after.
Hisagi Shuhei glanced at the visitor, bowed to Duan Mu and said: "Captain Duan Mu, I'm going down first."
"Um."
Bang~~
When Hisagi Shuhei left with his team members, he closed the door thoughtfully.
"Duan...Duan..."
Looking at Duan Mu sitting behind his desk, Yamada Hanatarō was obviously a little reserved.
Although Duanmu is still wearing the same black overalls that have remained unchanged for more than ten years, Duanmu is no longer the same person as he used to be. He is now one of the captains of the Gotei 13th Division with the same status as Captain Unohana.
"You don't need to be so restrained. Don't say it's just a temporary captain. Even if I'm the official captain, I'm still a member of the comprehensive rescue center, just like normal."
Duan Mu smiled and comforted.
Looking at that familiar and friendly smile, Yamada Hanataro's nervousness immediately dissipated, but he was still a little cautious.
"Duan Mu first... no, Captain Duan Mu, that... I..."
"Sit down first."
Duan Mu stood up and went to the only sofa in the middle of the room to sit down, pointing to the opposite side: "You don't need to treat me like a captain, just call me like before."
Yamada Hanatarō hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally sat down opposite Duanmu.
If he were facing other captains, he would naturally not dare to do this, but Duan Mu was different, because he had already known Duan Mu a long time ago... even before Duan Mu entered the Seireitei, and they had always known each other.
I am following Duan Mu to learn how to reply.
It's just that Duan Mu suddenly became the captain, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"That...I..."
Yamada Hanataro opened his mouth, but hesitated for a long time but did not say what he wanted to say.
Duan Mu observed his expression carefully, and then said: "You came to me...for Rukia Kuchiki?"
"ah?"
Yamada Hanataro was startled, then nodded and said: "Yes...but, Mr. Duanmu, how do you know?"
"Haha, Yongyin told me that after Lucia was captured, you were arrested by the members of the Sixth Division for a period of time to clean up the cells of the Sixth Division. For this reason, she originally planned to go with the Sixth Division
After some discussion with the team, she found out that you took the initiative to go to the Sixth Division as soon as you finished working every day for that month. After she inquired about it, she gave up her plan to stand up for you."
At the end of the sentence, Duan Mu couldn't help but feel speechless.
Because the people who took Hanataro to the 6th division to clean up were not the captain and vice-captain of the 6th division, not even the chief...
In other words, Yamada Hanatarō, a dignified seventh-seat member of the Fourth Division, was brought to the Sixth Division for cleaning by an ordinary soldier of the Sixth Division... That soldier didn't even know the identity of Yamada Hanataro, he was simply
Because this kid looks easy to bully.
"Miss Rukia is a very kind person...she..."
"If you want me to save her, then I can only say sorry."
Duan Mu shook his head and interrupted Hanataro Yamada: "Her decision was personally issued by Room 46. Even Captain Yamamoto can't change it. Even if I go to intercede for her, it won't have any effect.
."
Hearing this, Hanataro Yamada's expression suddenly became a little gloomy.
Of course, he was also very clear about what Duan Mu said. He came here just with the intention of giving it a try. After all, in the entire Seireitei... Mr. Duan Mu can be said to be the only person who dares to resist the 46th chamber of Mao.
Maybe he has a way to save...or prevent Miss Rukia from being executed.
Yamada Hanatarō took out a small book similar to a bankbook from his pocket and asked tentatively: "Well... can't I entrust it as well?"
"Feel sorry."
Duan Mu said: "You also know the rules of Wanshiwu. I will not accept a commission that conflicts with the 'ongoing commission' before the 'ongoing commission' is completed. This is a kind of respect for the customer. And save Lu Qi
Ya has a conflict with my current commission, so I really can't help you with this matter."
Yamada Hanataro nodded when he heard this. He did not continue to pester, but bowed to Duan Mu: "I'm sorry, Mr. Duan Mu... I will go back first."
"Um."
Duan Mu nodded, stood up and sat back at his desk. While reviewing and approving the documents, he said softly: "Be careful when you go back. I just received intelligence here that three travelers are coming towards the confession palace; one of them
The man is wearing a Death Tyrant uniform, looks like a high school student, and has short orange hair."
"It is said that the three of them came from the present world. Why they came here is still unclear, but it is said that their destination is the confession palace where Kuchiki Rukia is imprisoned. Well... at this time, they are in the ninth stage.
The division team left and headed 80 kilometers southeast. It probably won't take a few hours to reach the ninth division."
Yamada Hanatarō, who originally planned to leave, was stunned. Because when returning to the Comprehensive Rescue Center from Division 9, he only needed to go to the west direction and did not need to pass through the southeast direction at all. Even if he walked crookedly, he would not encounter someone coming from the southeast direction.
Travel disaster comes.
Mr. Duan Mu’s reminder is not necessary at all...
Um?
Wearing a death tyrant outfit, looking like a high school student, with short orange hair?
Some stories that Rukia Kuchiki had told him suddenly appeared in Hanataro Yamada's mind, and most of the protagonists in those stories were human high school students with orange hair.
"However, you don't have to be too afraid. With me here, as long as they dare to appear in the ninth division's jurisdiction, I will definitely keep them here, unless they can dig a hole underground to get around."
Duan Mu looked at Yamada Hanatarō who was standing there stupidly. He was afraid that he didn't understand, so he couldn't help but add another sentence.
"If there is nothing else, you should return to Division 4 as soon as possible. Be careful on the way back so that you don't get kidnapped."
"Yes, I will return to Division 4 immediately!"
Yamada Hanatarō replied excitedly, then turned around and ran outside.
After watching Hanataro leave, Duan Mu lowered his head and continued to process the documents on his desk.
The morning went by in a blink of an eye.
It only took one morning from the early morning invasion to the present, but in this short morning, the Gotei 13th Division suffered heavy losses.
Every hour, Hisagi would come and report to Duanki on the latest progress of the invasion.
About two hours after Hanataro left, Hisagi received news that a member of the Fourth Squadron had been kidnapped by two Tobis. At this time, the two Tobis, including the two Tobis, completely disappeared without a trace.
Where.
After reporting this incident, Hisagi Shuhei looked at Duanmu with a strange look.
Because as soon as Hanataro left here, he was hijacked by a travel accident. No matter how you think about it, this is too much of a coincidence.
The most important thing is...
Division 4 was not in the direction he was going at all.
…
at the same time.
In the sewer directly below the Ninth District, three figures were walking along the sewer toward the Palace of Confession.
"Hanataro, is it really okay for you to help us like this?"
Iwajiu looked at Hanataro who was leading the way in front of him and said in a worried tone: "You are different from me. You are the Shinigami of the Gotei 13th Division. If word gets out, you will definitely be held accountable."
Naturally, he is no stranger to Yamada Hanatarō, Duanmu's follower.
When Duan Mu had not obtained the Tongting Certificate, he often took Hanataro around Rukongai to treat people.
"actually……"
Hanataro shook his head: "Mr. Duan Mu asked me to come to you."
Duan Mu?
Hearing this name, Iwajiu and Kurosaki Ichigo looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Where is Duan Mu? There has been no news since that guy came to Seireitei yesterday morning. Could it be that he was caught again?"
"Probably not. After I fought with the guy named Ikkaku earlier, he told me that Mr. Duan Mu was currently in District 9, but he did not recommend that I go there."
The one who answered him was not Hanataro, but Kurosaki Ichigo on the side.
"District 9?" Yanjiu was stunned when he heard this.
"Um."
Hanataro nodded: "After Mr. Duanmu came to Seireitei yesterday, he accepted the captain's commission and made him the captain of the ninth division. During this period, he was not allowed to leave the scope of the ninth division, and he must not
Let anyone pass through Division 9 to the Palace of Confession."
"I don't recommend that you two go to District 9 either."
After Hanataro finished speaking, as if he was afraid that the two of them would not understand, he explained: "It's not that Mr. Duan Mu will hurt you, but his own situation is not very good. If you are allowed to pass through the ninth area, it is very likely that
He was held accountable by Captain Yamamoto and Mao Room 46."
"You don't need to explain."
Yanjiu chuckled: "I know Duan Mu's character better than you do, and I also know that going to District 9 now will bring him trouble."
He was not particularly surprised that Duanmu became the captain, because with Duanmu's strength, he was fully qualified to become the captain of the Gotei 13th Division!
Kurosaki Ichigo on the side nodded, just like Ishida did not visit his grandfather, he and others were intruders, and those who come into contact with him and others will inevitably be punished by Soul Society.
but……
"You just said, why did Mr. Duan Mu ask you to come to us?"
"It was Mr. Duan Mu who told me about your location 80 kilometers southeast after leaving Division 9."
"Moreover, Mr. Duanmu also told me that if you pass through the 9th District, he will not let you leave easily unless you dig a hole through the ground." Yamada Hanataro said, smiling slightly: "I will think of it.
I took you down the sewer precisely because of what Mr. Duan Mu said."
"Actually, Mr. Duanmu also wants to save Lucia, because Miss Lucia once told me that Mr. Duanmu is her very good friend. But due to his status, it is not convenient for him to personally save Lucia.
Miss, that’s why you gave me the subtle instructions to come and show you the way.”
Kurosaki Ichigo was a little surprised when he heard this: "Did he always know where we were?"
"I don't know much about this, but given Mr. Duan Mu's strength, he should know it, otherwise he wouldn't have hinted me to look for you."
Yamada Hanataro shook his head.
…
"...The missing fourth seat of Division 7, Ichinisakaji Roubou, has been found. Although his life is not in danger, his knot was severely damaged. It is said that he will most likely lose his spiritual power as a result."
In the ninth division captain's room, Hisagi Shuhei was reporting the latest information.
"Sidanfang's younger brother?"
Duan Mu nodded. Although he had a good relationship with Si Danfang, he didn't have a good impression of his younger brother Duan Mu.
Because when he was working in the supervision team, Duan Mu had received a supervision order for him.
A typical person who bullies good and fears evil, and has a despicable personality. He is completely incomparable to his brother Si Danfang.
In a way, it is a good thing that such a guy loses his ability to die, as he will avoid being thrown into a nest of maggots by the supervision team in the future.
"I know... hmm?"
Duan Mu frowned and turned to look at the edge of the Ninth Division's jurisdiction.
Why did he come to Division 9?
Isn't the captain of the Kyōband from Division 8 here?
"Captain Duan Mu, what's wrong?"
Hisagi Shuhei on the side asked in a group.
"It's nothing, it's just a traveler who entered our jurisdiction."
Duan Mu replied casually, then took the captain Yuzhi prepared for him, put it on and walked outside.
Travel disaster?
Hisagi Shuhei was startled when he heard this, then his expression changed and he hurriedly followed.
…
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
My name is Lin Bei.
Because the fortune teller said that I have a pure yang body and excellent spiritual roots, and that I will be destined to have a calamity and will be easily missed by female monks and die unexpectedly.
So I have been doing cross-dressing for eighteen years, and everyone in the world thinks I am beautiful.
But when I was eighteen years old, the leader of the Demon Cult took me into the Demon Cult and got married!
Rumor has it that the leader of the Demon Cult is a big devil who does all kinds of evil and is bloody and cruel.
That day, I broke into the body of the devil's leader's daughter!
She is actually a female devil! No one in the world knows it!
"If your husband looks at you again, I will dig out his eyes." The woman smiled as brightly as a flower.
