"The whereabouts of the captain-level Zanpakutō are still unknown, and there is no report of a battle between the captain-level Zanpakutō. However, since Captain Duanmu immediately reported the method to restore the Zanpakutō to normal, he maneuvered in secret.
Under the encirclement and suppression, basically all the Zanpakutō of ordinary team members have been restored."
"There are also some Zanpakutos that accidentally died in the hands of others during the encirclement and suppression. Now Captain Niryuri is also studying ways to recover."
In the conference room, Ukitake Jushiro looked at the report in his hand and spoke slowly.
In the small meeting, almost all the captains were already present. The only captains who were not present were Niryuri, who was researching the materialized Zanpakuto, and the missing Captain Yamamoto and Byakuya Kuchiki.
However, there are still two people whose whereabouts are unknown.
That is the captain and deputy captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusuka. They did not disappear due to the Zanpakutō rebellion, but left the Seireitei to perform tasks before the Zanpakutō rebellion. They have not yet disappeared.
Return... For the two of them, there is no need to worry at all.
Because no matter whether the Zanpakuto rebels or not, it will not have any impact on Zaraki Kenpachi's strength.
"Where's Brother Duan Mu? I heard from Captain Uzhihua earlier that he has been discharged from the hospital, hasn't he?"
Kurosaki Ichigo in the corner asked with some confusion: "Why haven't you seen him?"
When he first arrived in Soul Society, he heard that Duan Mu was severely injured by Aizen because he was trying to protect Inoue-san, so he wanted to visit Duan Mu.
However, when he first arrived at Seireitei, his Zangetsu was used by Muramasa to turn his sword against him. He finally managed to get Zangetsu back to normal, and then he went to follow the covert maneuver to encircle and suppress the scattered Zanpakutō.
As a result, when he had time to visit Duan Mu...
Duan Mu has been discharged from the hospital.
"Boss Duan Mu, he has already returned to Rukongai."
After Kyōraku Shunsui said this, he frowned slightly: "The battle with Aizen caused him serious injuries, and the ability of the Shinigami completely disappeared. Although it is not a good thing to say, he will not be able to get up even if he continues to stay in the Seireitei.
If he doesn't receive too much help, he might even be affected, so it would be safer for him to stay in Rukongai."
Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo's expression suddenly darkened. Regarding this, he had already heard Captain Unohana talk about this when he first arrived in Soul Society.
Bang~
Yoruichi patted Kurosaki Ichigo on the head: "Don't worry about him, even if he loses the ability of the Shinigami, those Zanpakutō will never be able to harm him."
"and……"
Ye paused for a moment, then turned to look at Sui Feng.
"According to the report of the supervision team, after Duan Mu returned to Rukongai, there was chaos in the area with the number behind it, and tens of thousands of people died."
"Um?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but turn their attention to Broken Bee.
"According to the monitoring results of the supervision team..."
When Zaibee said this, he paused slightly, because the people in the supervision team, like Kurosaki Ichigo, all voluntarily supervised Duanmu because they were worried about Duanmu's safety. Normally, the supervisory team monitors are to investigate the supervision.
target, but this time it is to protect the subject of supervision...
Shaking his head slightly, Broken Bee continued: "The one who took action was not Duan Mu, but the most powerful leaders under Duan Mu. The cause of the incident was the news that Duan Mu had lost his ability to die. Somehow, it spread.
The evil men under his command are gathering secretly to plot rebellion."
"But before the rebellion plan was implemented, all the villains who intended to rebel had been spontaneously slaughtered by Duan Mu's men."
"Tsk, tsk, sometimes I really think Boss Duan Mu is quite scary." Jingraku Shunshui shook his head after hearing this.
Hitsugaya Toshiro frowned: "Even so, it shouldn't have caused such huge casualties."
"It's better for us not to interfere in the matters over there."
Kyōraku Shunsui shook his head: "Rukongai is now completely under the control of Boss Duan Mu. I also have information about the people under his command. Among them, there are several people with spiritual pressure comparable to the captain level, and the deputy captain level is not even better than us.
The most important thing is..."
"His power is spread throughout Rukongai, even ordinary residents. It can be said that if Boss Duanmu wants to, he can even surround the entire Seireitei."
"If he is dissatisfied by intervening in Rukongai, at this time, we cannot face Boss Duanmu and the rebel Zanpakutō at the same time."
When Jingraku Shunsui finished speaking, his expression couldn't help but become a little strange.
Because as usual, Zhenyang Room 46 would never allow such a force to exist, but the strange thing is...
Both Captain Yamamoto and Mao No. 46 turned a blind eye to the forces under Duan Mu, as if they were not afraid that this force would threaten the Seireitei.
If it were simply a huge force, it would be absolutely impossible to cause the current situation.
Because Seireitei has launched sieges on Rukongai not once or twice. The senior senior Unohana Retsu who was present once led a team to carry out a bloody massacre in Rukongai, cleaning up and recovering countless people in Rukongai.
Strong.
Before Captain Unohana, Captain Yamamoto also led the Gotei 13th Division to liquidate Rukongai.
There must be some situation that they don't know about, so both Captain Yamamoto and Mao No. 46 believe that Duan Mu will not lead this force to harm the Seireitei.
"According to the report of the secret agent who has been staying outside the Wanshiwu House in West 38th District, this matter was not led by Duan Mu, but was a spontaneous liquidation carried out by his men."
The secret agent in Zhanfeng's mouth is actually the member of the supervision team who drinks at the Jiupo's stall opposite Wanshiwu every day. Due to his responsibilities, he has not gone into Wanshiwu's tavern to drink. However, Yanjiu often brings a few
My younger brother went to drink with him...
"And according to the report, most of the evildoers who have been cleared are people who intend to provoke conflicts between Duan Mu and the Seireitei. Therefore, Duan Mu also has a tacit attitude towards this liquidation."
Zhanfei slowly said that although he did not deliberately favor Duanmu, he did not make any judgments about Duanmu that might harm the Seireitei as usual.
If possible, she didn't want to force Duan Mu to be on the opposite side of the Seireitei.
So regarding Duan Mu's matter, there is one more thing that Broken Bee has not reported.
That is, not long after the settlement, the evil men under Duan Mu took action again and collected the bodies of all the dead.
As for why Duanmu did what he did, Zaihou didn't know the details. Lord Yoruichi seemed to have gotten some clues from the Shiba family, but he didn't go into details. He just told himself that Duanmu would not harm the Seireitei.
but……
Broken Bee could vaguely guess some of it.
There are only a few functions that the corpse of a dead person can play.
There is also someone in the Gotei 13th Division who is keen on collecting corpses. This person is Niryuri, and his purpose of collecting corpses is not a secret among the stealth mobile eyes.
Conducting human experiments that are prohibited by Seireitei!
Duan Mu's goal should be the same.
If it were the previous Duan Mu, if he had done this kind of experiment, he would have been thrown directly into the nest of maggots.
But like Nirvana, Duan Mu is not only powerful, but also has made great contributions to Soul Society. Therefore, as long as Mao No. 46 does not issue an investigation order, Zaihou does not want to explore Duan Mu's purpose of collecting corpses.
.
What's more, those unstable factors are just trying to attack the Seireitei and have nothing to do with the Seireitei.
…
At the same time, West 38th District.
"Boss Duan Mu, I have taken preservation measures for all the corpses according to the method you taught. As for the scattered guys who are not dead, Da'ao also led people to capture them and put them together with the corpses.
Into the tunnel dug by the rock vulture last time in the backyard."
After Yu Erzhong said this, he asked with some confusion: "Why did you keep them here?"
"The fact that I have lost the ability of the God of Death is not to deceive you. I have indeed lost the ability of the God of Death."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tavern couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
Kanekaku and Ginkaku, who were sitting with Nishijin Ori in the middle of the tavern, rolled their eyes.
At this time, the two of them looked extremely miserable. Jinjiao was a lot fatter than before, and Yinjiao also followed Jinjiao's footsteps and became a fat man...
Lost the ability to die?
What a joke.
Although the two of them could not defeat Nishijin Ori, their spiritual pressure was not much weaker than those of the captains of the Gotei 13th Division. As a result, the two of them were still unable to resist under Duanmu who claimed to have lost the ability of the Shinigami, and even
It was even worse than when I was sparring with Duan Mu.
Who would believe you when you say that you have lost your ability to die?
Yu Erzhong also looked suspicious.
"I don't rely entirely on spiritual pressure to fight. Although I can't use spiritual pressure, my own strength is still very strong."
Duan Mu did not hide anything from everyone present: "So in order to regain the spiritual pressure, I need a large number of spiritual bodies to conduct research to create a method that can heal the core of spiritual pressure in my body."
Hearing this, everyone nodded suddenly.
"Then let's go kill some more."
"yes."
"By the way, I remember there were many people buried in the backyard. How about digging them out too?"
"..."
Duan Mu looked at everyone talking to each other and trying to find research materials for himself. A smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and even Duan Mu himself didn't notice it.
"That's enough."
Interrupting everyone's discussion, Duan Mu said: "Don't go to so much trouble. The top priority now is to keep an eye on those rebellious Zanpakutō. I need them to help me find someone."
According to rough statistics, about 15,000 evildoers died this time. Fortunately, both Hueco Mundo and Soul Society were at their peak at this time. Although the deaths of these evildoers may have a certain impact,
The impact shouldn't be big.
It might even be good for balance.
After all, when Duan Mu conducted experiments in Hueco Mundo, it had already caused a slight tilt in the balance between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. Now he is just making certain corrections.
This can be seen from the fact that Nirvana Li did not contact him.
If the impact was really huge, that lunatic would have come to the Wanshiwuwu himself.
"Someone is coming."
At this moment, Nishijinori, who had not participated in the conversation, suddenly spoke.
Duan Mu heard this and looked towards him.
"Judging from the spiritual pressure, it should be those defecting Zanpakutos that you mentioned."
A defecting Zanpakutō?
Duan Mu frowned, what are they doing here?
Have you discovered that you have sent someone to monitor them?
Duan Mu pondered for a moment and said, "You guys stay in the tavern and don't move. I'll go out and take a look."
The walls of the tavern have spiritual patterns that eliminate aura and isolate detection. As long as everyone does not go out, visitors will not find that there are so many people hiding in the tavern.
Before he understood the reason why the Zanpakuto came to him, Duanmu didn't want Muramasa to be wary of him.
Having made up his mind, Duan Mu walked straight out of the tavern.
After closing the door, Duan Mu lay directly on the lounge chair outside the tavern, as if he was out to bask in the sun.
Not long after he lay down here, accompanied by a breeze, a figure appeared on the street in front of Wanshi House.
This is a man with a terrifying face and extremely long nails. He is wearing a white one-piece robe. The whole person exudes an inexplicable sense of weirdness and gloom.
Muramasa?
Duan Mu slowly sat up from the recliner and looked at Muramasa who suddenly appeared, with a smile on his face: "This guest, do you have any entrustment for coming to my Master House?"
Muramasa didn't speak, but looked Duan Mu up and down.
After a while, he slowly said, "Is it you?"
"Um?"
"The person who fought the Shinigami named Aizen three days ago?"
Duan Mu did not speak, but looked at Muramasa with an inquiring look.
Judging from Muramasa's appearance, he probably didn't know that he sent people to monitor them, so why did he come to find him?
"It seems that as those gods of death said, you have lost the ability of the gods of death."
Muramasa didn't wait for Duan Mu to answer. After observing Duan Mu carefully, he shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in killing a waste. I came here just to take something from you.
.”
Take something away?
A strange color flashed in Duan Mu's eyes, and he vaguely guessed Muramasa's purpose of coming here.
Do you want to stop it?
Duan Mu hesitated for a moment and did not get up.
"A person who is no longer a Shinigami is naturally not qualified to continue to hold a Zanpakutō, but I can make your Zanpakutō display its proper capabilities!"
As he spoke, Muramasa slowly walked towards Duan Mu.
Although he was not present at the battle between Duan Mu and Aizen three days ago, he still felt the terror of the two forces.
Although he didn't know much about Duan Mu, he was no stranger to Aizen.
Because it was Aizen who found him and provided him with countless sources of virtual power to maintain his physical form.
Someone who can stand up to Aizen should also be extremely powerful with his Zanpakutō.
When the master loses the power of the Shinigami, the Zanpakutō in his spiritual world will not disappear, but will fall into a deep sleep, just like himself.
Therefore, awakening it and bringing it under its banner should be of some help to you.
Looking at Muramasa's extended palm, Duan Mu did not resist, but just like an ordinary person, sat there and let Muramasa do what he did.
Buzz~
Strange fluctuations emerged from Muramasa's palm and headed towards his spiritual world.
"嘤~"
Vaguely, there seemed to be a scream.
This made Duan Mu feel slightly relieved. He was really afraid that the little white dog in his spiritual world would suddenly bark a few times. In that case, he would really be close to death.
And in a place where Duan Mu can't see, in his spiritual world.
A change was taking place. With the influx of Muramasa's strange fluctuations, a burst of gray gas emerged from the gray trees and the ground, merging into the little white dog's body.
"嘤嘤嘤嘤~~"
The weird screams became louder and louder, accompanied by a sense of loss. An extremely huge behemoth, even twice as tall as the Wanshiwu House, slowly appeared on the street.
"Hey——!"
As soon as this behemoth appeared, it let out an unprecedented loud scream.
Sound waves visible to the naked eye spread out, but did not affect the surrounding buildings. However, the spirits wherever the sound waves passed were mobilized one by one.
The appearance of the huge beast is close to that of a wild beast. It is completely white. From a close distance, only the lush white hair can be seen. But if you look at it from a distance, you will find that the appearance of this wild beast is a kind of enlargement.
Times...
fox!
Duan Mu looked at the white fox roaring up the street, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Although it has long been known that the actual Zanpakuto body will be different from the image in the owner's impression.
but……
A little thing that keeps circling around itself, barking like a licking dog, turns out to be a huge fox after materializing. Isn't the contrast a bit too big?
Muramasa looked at Ju Ming who appeared, and couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.
Because no matter what the original appearance of the Zanpakutō's body is, most of the Zanpakutō's body will approach the human form after materialization, but the Zanpakutō's body in front of us appears in a complete beast form.
And most importantly...
When he invaded Duanmu's spiritual world, he did not feel the Zanpakutō's dissatisfaction with its master. He only felt fear and a murderous intention that should have disappeared.
Rather than bringing the Zanpakutō out of its master's world, it is better to say that the murderous intention used its own ability to urge the Zanpakutō's body to materialize!
Thinking of this, Muramasa couldn't help but glance at Duan Mu.
This was the first time he encountered a situation where the master of the Zanpakutō was nothing but fearful.
It is not unprecedented for a Zanpakutō to be afraid of its master. The captain of the 12th Division is an example. However, although his Zanpakutō is afraid, he is still dissatisfied with its master.
As for Duan Mu's Zanpakuto, he didn't dare to be dissatisfied with Duan Mu at all because of fear.
