Reaper's system is a bit weird

Chapter 173 That person...

As usual, Duan Mu stepped into the surveillance section of the supervision team.

"Boss."

"Good morning, Boss Duan Mu."

"..."

Although it was just dawn, the team members of the Surveillance Section were already busy. They were sitting in front of the instruments, eating snacks and manipulating the instruments in front of them.

Duan Mu responded with a nod, and then came to Qing Yuanfang and asked, "How is Lucia?"

"It is still in the state of receiving instructions normally, but its location cannot be tracked."

Kiyohara shook his head: "Regarding this matter, we and the Technology Development Bureau submitted reports separately. But the response from Room 46 is to let us always pay attention to the present world and look for traces of Kuchiki Rukia, while It is not as usual to send people to the world to investigate, or to punish it as defection."

"After all, he is one of the four nobles. Room 46 probably doesn't want the news to spread."

"Indeed, if the news gets out, even the stepdaughter of the Kuchiki family will definitely be punished."

"But what if something happens to her?"

"The Technology Development Bureau said that Kuchiki Rukia's command god machine has been receiving instructions from the Technology Development Bureau, and has been actively contacting the Technology Development Bureau, and has not slackened in the purification work of Xu. In other words, she The connection with the world of corpses and souls has not been interrupted, but the monitoring and tracking of her has been blocked."

"It's probably the young lady of the Kuchiki family who doesn't want people to pry into her privacy."

"Very likely, that's all for our side. Even the Technology Development Bureau can't determine where she is, so we can only keep in touch with her by commanding the magic machine. If we can do this, no one will believe it, even if that person The eldest lady herself said that she didn't know why she couldn't be tracked, and it was inconvenient to disclose her location for some reason."

"If dispatching the god of death is done like this, what will happen to our work?"

"After all, you are a family member of the four great nobles, so you still have this privilege."

"..."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Duan Mu frowned slightly.

If there is no accident, the person who helped Rukia hinder the supervision team and the Technology Development Bureau's monitoring should be Urahara Kisuke, and there may be a secret cooperation of a hair gluer.

If the dispatched god of death is someone else, even if they keep in touch with the soul world at all times, if the monitoring is interrupted, Room 46 will send a secret maneuver to the present world for investigation, and immediately rebuild the surveillance circuit for the dispatched god of death.

But Kuchiki Rukia is different, even if she is a stepdaughter, she is still a member of the four great nobles, so Room 46 did not take any further action, but just blindly monitored, which is barely reasonable.

No one would have thought of...

The real Room 46 is probably gone now!

During this period, it was not Room 46 that gave the order, but someone who killed Room 46.

Duan Mu didn't care about the fact that Room 46 was gone, and it was a good thing that the group of old antiques who didn't know how to adapt died.

But Duan Mu is afraid that...

Those who secretly forged Room 46 to issue orders used this power to target themselves.

"Just as they say."

Kiyohara Fang didn't notice anything strange about Duan Mu, and continued: "As for the matter of Kuchiki Rukia, the Technology Development Bureau has been following up, hoping to find traces of Kuchiki Rukia from the present world, and now she has been captured. The spirit seeds left after the ghost path."

"It can be confirmed that she just used some method to hinder the monitoring of her by the Soul Realm, and she did not defect or encounter any accidents."

When Qingyuan Fang said this, his brows frowned slightly: "But there is one thing that is very strange. Neither the surveillance circuit of the Surveillance Office, nor we and the Technology Development Bureau can capture the figure of Kuchiki Rukia, and can only be purified in the void. Afterwards, the remnants of Kuchiki Rukia's spiritual seeds were extracted."

"Also, her one-month dispatch period has actually ended, but Room 46 rejected the application of the [-]th Division to send someone to replace her, saying that it will temporarily extend her dispatch time until she is tracked down again."

Kiyohara Fang looked at Duan Mu with a pensive face, and the fact that Kuchiki Rukia avoided surveillance itself, combined with her own identity, was actually not surprising.

But Kiyohara always felt that something was wrong, and the handling of Room 46 was also very strange. With the usual Room 46, even if the other party was a member of the Four Great Nobles, he would never let him mess around like this.

Even if they are not arrested, they should send a secret maneuver to confirm, instead of doing nothing like they are now.

"correct."

Kiyohara Fang seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Kuchiki Rukia has been applying for a salary increase." As he spoke, he took out a document from the desk next to him: "So far, she has eliminated many ghosts, and the code names are different. For "Fishbone·D", "Heikishapotas", "Asidvaya", "Shurika" etc..."

"Most of them are hypocrites without additional salary, but there are a few hypocrites, such as "Shoulika", who have received additional salary in advance by commanding the magic machine.It doesn't feel like living in this world, but living in the world of corpses and souls. "

"There are also some items collected for her use, such as prosthetic skeletons, inner soul fixatives, etc. According to my investigation, they were also not provided by the Technology Development Bureau."

"So I suspect that she may have had contact with someone who is in this world and who can provide these items. According to the records in our archives, there is only one..."

"That is the former captain of the [-]th Division and the founder of the Technology Development Bureau...and, when I was a team member, Urahara Kisuke, who was the captain of the supervision team." At the end, Kiyohara seemed to think of something and couldn't help it He glanced at Duan Mu.

After he had this suspicion, he immediately reported to Captain Broken Bee.

Captain Broken Bee attaches great importance to this, but was rejected when he applied to Room 46 for an in-depth investigation, and was told to focus on tracking Rukia...but the secret maneuver was not allowed to send people to investigate Explore.

As a result, Captain Broken Bee returned with a dark face and gave an order to the supervision team.

That is……

Monitor Duan Mu's movements, and report Duan Mu's every move to her at all times.

Regarding this point, Captain Broken Bee did not give an explanation, but said that Duan Mu might know where Rukia is.

But combined with his own guess, Kiyohara Fang came to a conclusion: There is likely to be a connection between Boss Duan Mu and Urahara Kisuke.

In fact, he is not very familiar with Urahara Kisuke, because apart from acting, that guy basically stays in his room every day and doesn't know what to do.

Qingyuan Fang had been there once, and the not-so-big room was filled with various instruments, and the leader of the supervision team was deeply buried in a pile of instruments.

Although he has abilities, his attitude towards work is far inferior to Boss Duan Mu.

As for guiding the soldiers to practice?

He and the team members are not familiar with each other, and he is studying various things every day, so how could he have time to guide the team members.

The worst thing is...

As the captain of the supervisory team, what he thinks every day is not how to capture those unstable factors, but how to release the unstable factors in the maggot nest so that they can use their talents.

Although this allowed Seireitei to have a technology development bureau.

But over the years, the Technology Development Bureau has definitely caused a lot of troubles, some of which are extremely cruel and excessive; but Kiyohara Fang also has to admit...the things they do can bring great benefits to Seireitei as a whole , even Room 46 turned a blind eye to their affairs.

"Has it been a month?"

Duan Mu nodded, and chose not to talk about Urahara Kisuke.

Hearing this, Qing Yuanfang didn't ask any further questions.

In any case, he didn't think Duan Mu's boss would betray Soul Soul Realm like Kisuke Urahara.

Not only him, this can be said to be the unified consensus of the supervisory team, and even Captain Suifeng, who ordered him to monitor Duan Mu's boss, did not think Duan Mu would betray them.

"Is there any new discovery about Rukia... Well, if you need to keep it secret, let me know, but tell me as much as possible about the information that can be made public." After Duan Mu said, he added again with a little worry : "Your work comes first. Don't disclose to me any information that cannot be disclosed in violation of the regulations."

"Yes!"

Kiyohara Fang replied in a respectful tone.

"I'll take a look at the maggot's nest, so I won't disturb your work,"

After Duan Mu bid farewell to the supervision team members one by one, he left the supervision building and walked towards the nest of maggots.

However, Duan Mu stopped when passing by the office building where Suifeng was located.

After hesitating for a while, Duan Mu didn't go to visit, but walked over directly.

Of course, he was aware of the supervision team's monitoring of him. Although none of the team members had reported to him, the team members secretly monitoring Duan Mu were actually less than ten meters away from Duan Mu.

Even when Duan Mu came out of Wanshiwu in the West 38th District, the supervision team members in charge of "secretly monitoring" him would stand opposite the tavern, wave and say hello to him, and then hide...

Except for more bodyguards, it didn't affect Duan Mu at all.

As for Broken Bee, the supervision team also reported seriously, reporting Duan Mu's every move in great detail.

Broken Bee asked the supervision team to monitor him, not to find anything from him, but to keep an eye on Duan Mu's movements.

In this regard, Duan Mu naturally cooperated with all his strength, no matter how busy he was every day, he would come to the second team to report.

He actually wished more...

Captain Broken Bee himself can always follow behind him.

However, Broken Bee will pay attention to her movements, which means that she is convinced that she is hiding something from her, so she uses this method to warn herself.

But judging from her attitude, it doesn't seem like she doubts that she will betray the Soul Society, nor does she think that Rukia's interruption of surveillance has anything to do with her.

Of course, there are reasons why Duan Mu has been jointly monitored by many departments, but Duan Mu is very happy because of Sui Feng's trust.

……

In the present world, Karakura Town.

Kurosaki Clinic.

"Hey, get up quickly, Ichigo!!"

Accompanied by soft pushing and rubbing, Kurosaki Ichigo slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a lion doll.

However, the doll spoke out, and kept jumping on him.

squeak~~
The sound of cotton being squeezed came out, and then there was a 'swoosh', and the doll on his body was thrown out by Kurosaki Ichigo.

"How many times have I told you, don't bounce on me!!"

Yawning, Kurosaki Ichigo lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but he didn't get dressed because he was already dressed.

More strictly speaking...

For more than a month, when he rested at night, he never took off his clothes.

The reason is simple, because a woman lives in the closet, a woman who claims to be ten times his age.

squeak~~
The closet door was pulled open, Kuchiki Rukia said dissatisfiedly: "Do you two want to be so noisy every morning?"

"Guys who live in other people's closets without permission should not have the right to complain, right?"

Kurosaki Ichigo stroked the folds on his clothes, and said angrily, "Has your Reiatsu recovered yet? Didn't you say that it will recover soon?"

"How do I know, I have never given spiritual pressure to humans before."

Kuchiki Rukia replied casually, but she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, because the Technology Development Bureau has been in contact with her. If the spiritual pressure is not recovered, the matter of passing the spiritual pressure on to humans will inevitably happen. Send it back to the Soul Realm.

Until then……

He is not the only one who is punished.

Fortunately, from the beginning to the end, the secret maneuver was not dispatched, otherwise I would not be able to hide it now.

"Yes, Rukia."

Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Can I take a day off tomorrow?"

"Ah?" Rukia was stunned for a moment, and said with some doubts, "What rest?"

"The work of death."

"what!?"

Rukia's face suddenly changed: "Of course not, Xu will not rest. Once we receive the order, we must rush to the location where Xu appeared as soon as possible. Only in this way can we avoid people being swallowed by Xu."

"Tomorrow, June 6th..."

Kurosaki Ichigo paused, and a strange look flashed across his face: "It was the day my mother died of illness."

The day when my mother died of illness?

Rukia opened her mouth when she heard the words, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Although she didn't deliberately ask about Kurosaki Ichigo's mother, she also heard about it from conversations with Ichigo's family members.

His mother died two years ago of an unknown disease.

It is said that Ichigo suffered from it when he was nine years old. This disease is extremely strange. Although he is usually the same as a normal person, he often falls into a coma suddenly. Until two years ago... that is, when Kurosaki Ichigo was 13 years old, he died in the hospital .

"Rukia..."

Kurosaki Ichigo hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is it possible for Xu to devour a person's vitality? Is it possible for a person who was originally healthy to go into a coma from time to time, and eventually... die?"

"You mean..."

Kuchiki Rukia heard the words, a strange look flashed in Ichigo's eyes, and then a thoughtful look appeared on her face: "As far as I know, Xu should not have this kind of continuous damage. Anyone who is targeted by Xu There are only two outcomes for a person. Either his soul will be devoured on the spot, or he will be rescued, which will not affect his life afterwards."

"However, in the records of Soul Soul Realm, it is said that the pregnant mother survived the virtual attack, which may cause the fetus in the womb to be affected, but it does not apply to your mother's situation."

"That's it."

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded, but did not continue to ask.

"Why do you suddenly ask such a question?" Rukia frowned: "Could it be that your mother's strange illness appeared after encountering a deficiency?"

"Nothing, just curious."

Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head, but did not answer.

The memory of six years ago, even now, he still remembers it very clearly.

It was also after being attacked by Xu that my mother suddenly had symptoms of coma, and this symptom became stronger day by day.

For this symptom, neither the father nor the mother seemed to know something, but kept reassuring the three of them that the mother was not sick.

At her begging, my mother went to a big hospital for many detailed physical examinations, but no matter how many times she checked, the results showed that everything was normal and there was no disease at all.

It was as if, as her mother had said, she was not sick.

After his mother passed away, Ichigo asked his father what disease his mother suffered from, and he always felt that his father seemed to know something.

But his father's powerless and desperate look at that time made it impossible for him to continue asking.

but……

Besides the father, there should be someone else who knows what happened to the mother.

that……

Others say he is a perverted big brother who doesn't wear clothes.

Although Ichigo wanted to remember other things, but the person left the deepest impression on him is this, and there are black clothes, black hair, black high boots, a long knife and a moment of eye contact...

The appearance of the other party in his memory has long been blurred, making it impossible for him to describe what the other party looks like.

But as long as you see him, you will be able to recognize him.

He has been to the river bank to search countless times, but no matter how he searches, he has never seen that person again.

But the appearance of Rukia made him feel that even if that person is not the god of death, he must have some connection with the god of death.

As long as I find him, I will definitely be able to solve my long-standing doubts!
