In the early morning, Duan Mu habitually looked at the current experience value. When he found that there was no increase that could surprise him, he couldn't help but sigh.
The experience value is really too little.
Once upon a time, 10,000 experience points were still a huge sum of money in Duan Mu's eyes, but I don't know when... 10,000 experience points were no longer of much help to him.
Shaking his head, Duan Mu got up, washed up, put on the dusty black work clothes from yesterday, and left his small courtyard.
We have to continue the repair work today anyway, even if we put on new clothes, they will be stained later.
Originally, he planned to work all night last night, but after returning from the captain's meeting, he found that all the members of the ninth division were waiting at the edge of the ninth division.
No matter how much Duan Mu tried to persuade him, these people were unwilling to leave and stayed with him even if they couldn't help him.
According to Hisagi, they would never let the captain work here alone all night. In the end, when it was really impossible to persuade everyone to go back to rest, Duanmu simply took everyone back to the team building.
"It will take a long time."
If I had done the repair work all night yesterday, I would have been able to finish it at this time.
However, Duan Mu didn't care, since he had nothing to do now anyway.
After a brief breakfast in the cafeteria, Duan Mu dealt with some more urgent matters, and then walked towards the construction site in a leisurely manner.
"team leader."
"Captain Duan Mu."
"..."
As soon as he arrived at the scene, greetings reached Duan Mu's ears one after another.
Duanmu responded with a nod, and after looking around, he asked with some confusion: "Isn't Hisagi here?"
"The vice-captain is leaving for the headquarters." A team member replied immediately.
"That's it."
Duan Mu nodded, then smiled at everyone: "You don't actually need to come here, I can handle the rest of the work myself."
"How is that possible?"
A female team member said: "How can we let you work alone?"
"..." Duan Mu was helpless.
Although he also knew that the hierarchy in the Gotei 13th Division was very strict, but after actually taking the position of captain, he discovered that this group of people valued hierarchy far more than he expected.
It even got to the point where Duan Mu was squatting while working, and this group of people didn't dare to stand aside and watch.
only……
You can't help me by staying here, and in the end, I'm still left to work on my own.
And with hundreds of people watching my work, I always felt like I was being overseen.
But looking at the determined faces, Duan Mu finally gave up communicating with them and focused on his work.
On the outskirts, many residents who were not wearing Death Tyrant uniforms appeared at some point.
These residents, without exception, are all residents within the jurisdiction of the Ninth Division. Among them are the Shinigami who have resigned from the army, as well as the families of the Shinigami, and even more are the family members left behind by many sacrificed Shinigami soldiers. After passing hundreds of people,
Thousands of years of inheritance have formed a group similar to a family.
The reason why the residents of Rukongai admire the God of Death is precisely because of this.
As long as a relative joins the Gotei 13th Division, all his family members will be eligible to live in the Seireitei, and will also be given priority in reincarnation.
And as long as those who become a Shinigami soldier do not do anything harmful to the Seireitei, these privileges will never be taken back.
Because of this.
Although the number of residents in Seireitei, which covers an area of 133,000 square meters, is far less than that of Rukongai, after thousands of years of accumulation, the number of ordinary residents has reached tens of millions, and this is still possible.
In the case of free reincarnation.
"Look, that's the new captain who takes over from Captain Tosen."
"Isn't this Boss Duan Mu from the commercial street?"
"Captain repairing the streets himself?"
"I'm kidding, don't you know what Boss Duan Mu used to do? He is the famous owner of Wanshiwuwu in the commercial street. Any job in his hands can be solved perfectly, including repairing buildings, tracing people, investigating and collecting evidence.
From cleaning housework, taking care of children, to emotional counseling...it can be said that I can do everything."
"Yes, I also asked Boss Duan Mu to renovate my house. Not only was the charge cheap, but the repairs were also very good. There was even a ten-year warranty."
"..."
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding residents, the team members looked at each other and hesitated whether to evict these residents like they did yesterday.
After all, it is not an honorable thing for the captain to personally do such a job that only low-level people can do.
Yesterday was a good thing, because before Captain Duanki started fighting with Rika, Vice Captain Hisagi had already led his team members to disperse all nearby residents.
In addition, Captain Duan Mu made too much noise, so the nearby residents never dared to come back, and only today did they come back here one after another.
"Don't worry about it."
Duan Mu smiled at the team member who asked him: "As long as it doesn't affect my work, I won't lose a piece of... meat if I get looked at a few times... huh?" Duan Mu's voice suddenly choked, and he turned his head sharply towards
Looking in the direction of the Penitentiary.
Almost at the same time as he looked, a terrifying spiritual pressure descended on everyone extremely suddenly.
"This is?"
"hiss……"
Almost everyone present with spiritual pressure could not help but change their expressions. On the contrary, most of the ordinary residents around who did not have the qualifications to become a Shinigami had puzzled faces and did not understand why the expressions of these Shinigami-sama suddenly changed.
"Zaraki Kenpachi?"
Feeling the familiar aura in the spiritual pressure, Duan Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Kurosaki's spiritual pressure?"
"It's really Kurosaki-san!"
Almost at the same time as Duan Mu finished speaking, a burst of conversation suddenly came from the long steps at the entrance to the ninth area, making Duan Mu look a little strange.
With the support of Inoue Orihime, Uryu Ishida, who was covered in blood, stopped and looked up in the direction of the towering white tower.
"Did he actually get ahead of me?"
Ishida Uryu smiled bitterly, it seemed that there was no way to rescue Kuchiki before him.
but……
Judging from the spiritual pressure of Kurosaki's opponent, even if he was ahead of him, he would not be able to save Kuchiki-san.
Just defeating Niruri, who once wanted to capture his grandfather, has already put him in a state of exhaustion. If Inoue-san hadn't treated him in time, he might have collapsed somewhere in the Seireitei.
.
"Let's get there quickly."
Although he can no longer exert much power, he is deeply aware of Inoue's healing ability. If Inoue can reach Kurosaki, he will definitely be able to help him!
On the side, Orihime Inoue looked at Uryū Ishida with a worried look, but there was still a little doubt in her worry.
She had already treated Ishida-san for her injuries.
Can……
But Ishida-san's face was still extremely pale, and it didn't look like his injury had healed at all.
However, Orihime Inoue did not refuse Ishida Uryu's proposal, but continued to walk up the steps while supporting Ishida Uryu.
However, when the two climbed up the steps and stepped onto the platform, they froze in place.
Looking around, not far in front of them, hundreds of reapers were squatting there, holding various tools in their hands.
Behind this group of Death Gods, there were densely packed civilians.
Silence~~!
An unspeakable silence suddenly enveloped the entire area.
Duan Mu looked at the dull two people and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Confirmed!
The other captains might really be fishing for money, otherwise how could this group of traveling disasters have so easily broken through to their last layer of defense.
"..." Ishida Uryu.
"..." Orihime Inoue.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at the two of them, making Ishida Uryu suddenly have the urge to roll down the steps.
Why are there so many Shinigami... squatting here?
Is it some kind of welcome ceremony?
"Inoue, hurry up..."
Even so, at the moment when he came to his senses, Ishida Uryu still pushed Inoue Orihime next to him, trying to delay time for her to escape first.
But at this moment, the black-haired young man squatting in front of a group of Death Gods suddenly raised his hand in front of him.
"The Fourth Way of Binding: This Rope."
Wherever the fingertips landed, the golden rope shot out of the air like a poisonous snake that had been gathering momentum for a long time, binding Uryu Ishida in place in the blink of an eye.
Ishida Uryu subconsciously struggled.
"Give up. If you lose the power of a Quincy, you won't be able to break free from the Binding Path."
A soft whisper came from his ears, and Ishida Uryu's pupils shrank, and then he realized that the black-haired young man who was squatting on the ground a second ago had walked past him at some point and walked towards Inoue-san.
Before he had time to wonder why the other party knew that he had lost his Quincy power, Ishida Uryu's expression changed drastically:
"Inoue, be careful!!"
But his reminder was already too late, because at the same time he said these words, the black-haired young man holding the plastering scraper in his hand was already standing in front of Inoue Orihime.
"Don't be nervous."
A warm smile appeared on Duan Mu's face: "I have no intention of harming you, I just need you to stay here with me for the time being."
The gentle voice and words made both Ishida Uryu and Inoue Orihime startled.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the acting captain of Division 9. My name is Duan Mu."
Duan Mu looked at the girl with an amazing figure in front of him. His eyes did not wander around, so as not to make the other person feel uncomfortable. Instead, he stood beside her with a gentle attitude that was not too close, but not too distant.
Mi Kaiwai introduced himself.
If anyone among Kurosaki Ichigo and his party can interest Duan Mu except Yoruichi.
There is no doubt that there is only one person in front of me.
I just don’t know how much this lady’s favorability can provide me with experience.
In terms of reiatsu alone, her reiatsu strength is actually similar to that of Sadatora Taitora, both at the level of vice-captain. However, her combat ability is not strong. She is the kind who can barely defeat ordinary teams with crude karate.
Type of knight.
certainly……
The combat ability here refers only to combat, and it does not mean that her abilities are not strong.
It should be said that on the contrary, the abilities she possesses are more terrifying than any ability in Duan Mu's impression!
If calculated in terms of ability, she should be able to provide herself with a lot of experience points.
However, how to improve her favorability towards myself?
If you want to improve her favorability towards you, you can just help them rescue Lucia.
but……
This was obviously not something he could do. He didn't want to be hacked to death by Captain Yamamoto before Aizen's conspiracy was exposed.
And besides that, what other methods can be used to improve her favorable impression of him?
"Duan Mu?"
What Duan Mu didn't expect was...
When they heard his name, both Inoue Orihime in front of him and Ishida Uryu behind him couldn't help but be stunned.
Inoue Orihime asked subconsciously: "Do you want to be the owner of the Master House?"
Hearing this, Duan Mu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he vaguely realized something, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Yes, it's me. Has Sister Konghe mentioned me to you?"
[Inoue Orihime's favorability is 1, gained 245 experience points, current favorability: 1]
[Inoue Orihime's favorability is 1, gained 245 experience points, current favorability: 2]
【……】
[Inoue Orihime's favorability is 1, gained 490 experience points, current favorability: 10]
【……】
[Inoue Orihime's favorability is 1, 980 experience points gained, current favorability: 20]
Current experience value: 19627
Looking at the series of system prompts in his mind, Duan Mu's eyes flashed with surprise.
Higher than the vice-captain, but lower than the captain?
It seems that even the system fully recognizes the ability of the girl in front of him!
The moment he saw the dense system prompts, Duan Mu suddenly had the urge to turn around and head towards the Penance Palace to help Kurosaki Ichigo defeat Zaraki Kenpachi...
Fortunately, Duan Mu was not blinded by the pie falling from the sky. Although the idea was very tempting, he still suppressed it.
But why did she have such a high opinion of herself in an instant?
Because of Miss Kūkaku?
Not like that!
Is it because of Uryu Ishida?
Duan Mu was not surprised that Uryū Ishida knew him. After all, before he entered the Seireitei, he had given the command machine to communicate with Sister Kūkaku to Sogen Ishida. It was impossible for him not to mention it to his grandson.
Own.
And besides that...
Kurosaki Ichigo?
Duan Mu looked at Inoue's happy expression and was vaguely sure why she had such a high impression of him.
Inoue Orihime's eyes lit up and she asked almost instinctively: "Are you really the 'big brother without clothes' as Kurosaki-san calls him?"
Ishida Uryu: "..."
Although Inoue-san usually gives people a dull feeling.
But he really didn't expect that Inoue-san would actually say this nickname in front of Mr. Duan Mu, and in front of so many people watching.
"???" Duan Mu.
What the hell?
Duan Mu felt confused for a while, but this confusion only lasted for a moment and then darkened!
Well~~~
I take back my previous words!
As the captain of the Gotei 13th Division, even if it is temporary, I should help Zaraki Kenpachi and kill Kurosaki Ichigo!!!...
Although he didn't take it to heart at all about what happened back then, but at least he saved him and his mother, right?
Is this how this bastard introduces himself to people?
What's more, I was already wearing my own clothes!
The only time he died was when he went to the present world to look for Nagano Hanashi and the others.
After that, Duanmu would change into the clothes sent by Urahara Kisuke every time before going to the real world, including the time when he saved Kurosaki Masaki from Kyon.
Duan Mu really doesn't understand where this title comes from.
It's impossible...
Duan Mu's expression changed. There were probably photos of him on the Internet today, and he accidentally saw them?
"No, you got the wrong person!!" Duan Mu said with a dark face.
"Can……"
"You admit that you are the wrong person!!"
After Duan Mu emphasized every word, Inoue Orihime finally realized her gaffe, hurriedly covered her mouth and nodded vigorously.
Duan Mu suppressed his annoyance and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you don't want to be transferred to another prison, don't show that you are too familiar with me."
Hearing this, Inoue Orihime and Ishida Uryu were both stunned.
"As for Ichigo Kurosaki, you don't have to worry. With Lord Yoruichi following him, nothing will happen to him."
