Duan Mu looked at the anxious faces and frowned slightly: "Who has been swallowed?"
"Then how could I possibly know that... no, so many people have been swallowed."
"Tell me the names of the people you can name."
Ishida Munexun, who was on the side, pondered for a moment and said: "As far as I know, the people who were swallowed by Rukongai include Miss Uzuki, Sake Woman, Granny Suigetsu, Miss Emiri..." Ishida Munexun said one by one.
Duan Mu's expression darkened every time he said a familiar name.
Because these names, without exception, are the names that exist on the system favorability interface.
"And on the Death side, it is said that many female soldiers were swallowed up, and even the Captain of the Broken Bee was not spared."
Duan Mu did not speak, but turned his attention to the system interface in his mind.
It hasn't disappeared.
He carefully observed every name mentioned by Ishida Munexun and found that none of the names dimmed or disappeared, which made Duan Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This is because the names of those who undergo reincarnation or death will tend to dim in the favorability interface, and then gradually disappear.
That is to say...
Those who were swallowed by their own Zanpakutō did not die, but were just trapped in the belly of their own Zanpakutō.
"Tell me what happened after I left, from beginning to end."
After confirming the survival of Broken Bee and others, Duan Mu immediately calmed down and said in a calm tone: "Remember what you saw and all the feelings you had after seeing it, even if it is a small detail, do not omit it."
Duan Mu's calm look made everyone feel relieved.
After all, the people Ishida Sogen mentioned earlier are all good friends with Duan Mu, and they are really afraid that Duan Mu will be angry because of this.
Especially Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao. Boss Duan Mu sent the two of them to temporarily follow Sister Broken Bee. As a result... Sister Broken Bee was swallowed by the white-haired monster right in front of their eyes...
"I'll go first."
Ishida Sogen was the first to stand up and said: "The place where he first appeared was ours. About two minutes after you left Soul Society, a panicked scream suddenly came from the street outside."
"After we came out, we found that your Zanpakutō, which had disappeared for a few days, was chasing the residents of Rukongai on the streets. When it saw us appearing, the huge fox turned directly to attack us. Just as we were about to prepare
When we were fighting it, it took advantage of us not paying attention..."
Ishida Sogen paused for a moment, his face a little ugly: "...capture Uoyuki and swallow it!"
"After that, it wanted to capture Yu Erzhong, but Yu Erzhong immediately noticed that it was going to attack him, so he evaded its capture, and then we and Yu Erzhong confronted it.
.”
"But it did not conflict with us. It was as if it was rushing for time. After realizing that it could not swallow Yu Erzhong in a short time, it immediately turned into a spirit and disappeared on the street."
Yu Erzhong added: "There is another very strange thing. The targets it chooses are all people who are very familiar with you, and it seems to be able to know the location of everyone. No matter how you hide, you can't avoid its capture.
.”
"According to the news coming back from various places, after it left us, it continued to appear in other areas in the west, looking for targets to devour."
After waiting for a while, Jin Kaku saw Yu Erzhong finished speaking, and hurriedly said: "Gin Kaku and I met it in East District 1. We were returning to Seireitei at that time, and it suddenly rushed out of Seireitei.
came out and directly swallowed Sister Zhifeng."
Jin Jiao paused for a moment, with a look of fear on his face: "Jin Jiao and I stepped forward to stop him, but he slapped us away with one claw... The spiritual pressure and power it displayed were terrifyingly strong."
Listening to everyone's words, Duan Mu showed a look of contemplation on his face.
Judging from what everyone said, the target of his Zanpakuto should be a female friend who has a favorable impression of him.
In the entire District 38, almost all women who had a favorable impression of him were not spared.
The only one who was spared was Yu Erzhong in front of him.
But she was able to survive entirely because of her captain-level strength...
Um?
Duan Mu suddenly raised his head and looked at Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao: "You just said that it rushed out of the Seireitei and directly swallowed Captain Shattered Bee. Didn't Captain Shattered Bee resist?"
"You don't know..."
Jin Jiao swallowed his saliva: "It's speed was too fast. The two of us only saw a white shadow flashing past, and then the captain of the Broken Bee was swallowed. When the two of us reacted to stop it, he was immediately swallowed.
It flew away, but fortunately it was not interested in killing us."
Hearing this, Duan Mu's face couldn't help but darken.
Leaving aside the captain of the broken bee, Golden Horn and Silver Horn are not weaker than Hajiju. The two of them are the same villains as Nishijin Ori. Although their personalities are a bit silly, their strength is much stronger than Hajiju.
.
But Yu Erzhong was able to evade capture, but the two of them couldn't even react.
It was impossible for Yu Erzhong to lie to him.
This shows...
His Zanpakutō is getting stronger at an incredible speed.
The reason why it let Ha Niju go, maybe, as Sogen Ishida said, it was because of a rush for time, and it wanted to devour as many people as possible before it came back.
but……
It may also be due to lack of strength!
When Sogen Ishida mentioned Ku Mei, he did not say what its spiritual pressure was, indicating that Ku Mei did not make him feel unable to resist at that time.
But Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao's stories emphasized Ju Ming's spiritual pressure, strength, and speed!
But why does it become stronger?
Because of the devoured spirits?
For Xu, devouring spiritual bodies can indeed make him stronger, but all the devoured spiritual bodies will become part of himself, which means that the person who is swallowed will die completely.
But the people swallowed by Ju Ming did not die, but they could still increase Ju Ming's spiritual pressure, which Duan Mu really couldn't understand.
According to the current understanding of his Zanpakutō, Jumei has the ability to transform into a spirit child and contain various energies.
You can tolerate a person without devouring him or her, and use the other person's strength to strengthen yourself...
Is this really possible?
Wait~!
tolerate?
This word kept popping up in Duan Mu's mind, as if he vaguely grasped something.
The previous Ju Ming was an existence that was born when he first arrived in this world, but the new Ju Ming is different. It was born because of the system.
but……
The system only plays an 'introduction' role in this process, and there is no connection between the new world and the system.
Because it is not the system that promotes and composes the birth of the new Juming, but exists in one's own dead gray spiritual world...
Those white spots are as dazzling as stars!
Those white spots are a reflection of Duan Mu's female friends' favorability towards him. It is these white spots that give Duan Mu the qualification to destroy the previous Ju Ming and create a new Ju Ming.
Therefore, the people who have the closest connection with the New Juming are precisely those who have been swallowed up by the New Juming after it materialized.
The system plays a role in this process. It materializes the favorability of Duan Mu's female friends towards Duan Mu in the form of white spots. The new Juming composed of everyone's materialized emotions, after its birth,
From the beginning, I have already established an invisible connection with everyone who makes up the white spot.
If his guess is correct, this should be the reason why Ju Ming can enhance his own strength by swallowing them.
And precisely because its own existence is composed of their emotions, it is absolutely impossible for Xin Juming to harm them.
After thinking about this, Duan Mu was not relieved that his friends were safe, but his scalp felt numb.
because……
He has too many female friends!!!
There are countless powerful ones among them. If the materialized Ju Ming could gather all their power together... no, not all of them would be needed. Just Unohana Retsu alone would be enough for Duan Mu to resist.
Judging from what Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao said, Ju Mei rushed out from the Seireitei, and more than 80% of the women in the Gotei Thirteenth Division were acquainted with him.
if……
Duan Mu shook his head hastily.
"Right."
Ginkaku seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Boss Duanmu, the monster that came out of your body... No, when the Zanpakuto rushed out of the Seireitei, it seemed that someone was chasing him out."
"Pursuit?"
Duan Mu was startled.
"Ah yes!"
Jin Jiao hurriedly said: "There is indeed a crazy woman with disheveled hair, holding a scimitar, and a murderous aura that makes people feel as if she is in a sea of blood. She rushes out after chasing her... Wow, you have never experienced that feeling.
, in front of her murderous intent, your murderous intent is nothing... ah... no... it's almost comparable to yours."
A crazy woman with disheveled hair and a machete?
The corner of Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly, who said he hadn't experienced it before?
It seems that she is not the only one who thinks that Captain Unohana is a crazy woman. Even old villains like Golden Horn and Silver Horn say that she is a crazy woman.
"We couldn't see her appearance clearly, and we didn't dare to look...but she seemed to be covered in white feathers, which looked like a protective shield..."
"That's it."
Duan Mu looked at the probing eyes of the Kuchiki brothers and sisters beside him and hurriedly interrupted Jin Jiao's words.
However, Duan Mu breathed a sigh of relief when Maozhihualie appeared.
This at least shows that Unohana Retsu was not swallowed by it, but was instead... Unohana Retsu chased him all the way out of the Seireitei.
To be able to cause such a huge reaction from Maozhihualie, if nothing unexpected happened, Yongyin should have been swallowed by Ju Ming.
I just don’t know how many Shinigami it swallowed before swallowing Yongyin.
It’s too much fun.
The corner of Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and suddenly he realized that he seemed to have stabbed a huge basket...
Leaving aside the Zanpakutō, if Unohana Retsu reacted afterwards, he would probably be hacked to death by her.
No, that bitch must be caught as soon as possible!
But where to find it?
When Duan Mu was listening to the story, he had searched the entire western region with his probing nerves, but found no trace of his Zanpakutō at all.
The same goes for Maozhihuaretsu.
However, seeing the worried faces on everyone's faces, Duan Mu suppressed his uneasiness and said with a smile: "Don't worry, those who were swallowed are not in danger."
No danger?
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao looked at Duan Mu suspiciously: "Sister Sui Feng was swallowed right in front of our eyes. She was swallowed alive."
Duan Mu glanced at the two of them. When they first asked them to follow Sui Feng, they were still reluctant. After only a few days, they started calling each other "big sister".
"Swallowing does not mean death."
Duan Mu shook his head and did not explain much. Now Ju Ming's whereabouts are unknown...
It would be best if it was killed by Unohana Retsu, since it would not be impossible to recover anyway.
But if it escapes, it will be difficult to find him again.
but……
Even if it escapes, it probably won't go to the Seireitei again in a short time.
The reason is very simple, Duanmu is a person with a long memory, and his Zanpakutō, which is of the same mind as him, should be no exception.
At least it will never dare to go to the Seireitei again until it dares to face Unohana Retsu.
But it is not easy to find one that can turn into a spirit child. However, you can ask Captain Unohana for advice on this point.
Since he is able to hunt down Ju Ming, it means that even if he is transformed into a spirit child, Captain Maozhihua can still lock him down and even force him out of his spirit child state.
Is there any difference between the spirit it transforms and the surrounding spirits?
Judging from the fact that Ju Ming started causing trouble less than two minutes after he left, it is very likely that Ju Ming was hiding around Wan Shi House during this period.
However, I have lost my spiritual pressure, so I have never discovered this.
But now that I have recovered my spiritual pressure, if it turns into a spirit child in front of me again, I should be able to detect something wrong from it, just like Unohana Retsu.
So once it appears, it shouldn't be difficult to lock it down.
The only thing that gave Duan Mu a headache was...
After this incident, Ju Ming will only become more cautious before it obtains the strength it thinks is enough to confront itself, and it will be difficult to find it again.
Thinking of this, Duan Mu turned to look at Kuchiki Rukia and Ha Erju.
Facing his gaze, Ha Erzhong didn't react much, but Kuchiki Rukia was blocked behind Byakuya, looking at Duan Mu with a cold face, as if she vaguely guessed Duan Mu's thoughts.
"..."
Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly:
"Don't look at me with that look. I really want Yu Erzhong and Lucia to act as bait to help me draw out the Zanpakutō." Duan Mu paused and said in a serious tone: "But no matter they
Whether they act as bait or not, my Zanpakutō will find them."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"It should be said that all my female friends are its targets. There is an inexplicable connection between it and all my friends. It can borrow their power by swallowing them."
Duan Mu didn't hide this, because Ju Ming's goal was so obvious that he didn't even need to investigate... This made Duan Mu couldn't help cursing in his heart, you can't swallow that you don't know me.
of people?
Although Ju Ming swallows people who don't know Duan Mu, it won't be of any help to him.
But this can at least cover it up, right?
Hearing this, everyone looked at Duan Mu and their eyes suddenly became extremely strange.
Even Sogenu Ishida couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there really is a Zanpakutō like the kind of master it has.
"However, you don't have to worry about the safety of the person being swallowed."
Duan Mu faced everyone's strange gazes and said with a slight twitch in his mouth: "If the people swallowed die, it will no longer be able to borrow their power, so those people are only contained in its body and their lives are not in danger.
"
Hearing this, Kuchiki Byakuya couldn't help but look at his adopted sister, a meaning clearly revealed in his eyes:
Hurry up and break up with this guy!
…
Well, the day before yesterday I said I had added a chapter, but it was actually supposed to be the previous chapter...but I deleted it...
The description of the battle between Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Kyouga, as well as Muramasa's ending, actually took one chapter, but after reading it again... I realized that it would be better to read the original work, which has animation, sound, and BGM.
So in the end, more than 3,000 were deleted and more than 5,000 were left. The description of the original work was basically beyond the mark. I have always felt that except for the necessary plot explanation, it is better to read the original work than to describe the original work...
