Reaper's system is a bit weird

Regarding this point, Duan Mu was not disappointed, because he didn't think he could trace Xiaojie's whereabouts by chasing birds with slaps. The remnants of the spirit son had already disappeared after half a day.

"Ok?"

Duan Mu raised his brows, his spiritual pressure restrained, and the magic circle that had lost its spiritual support immediately dissipated.

"Did you find anything?" Ayasegawa asked personally.

"follow me."

Duan Mu didn't explain, but galloped straight into the distant woods.

Seeing this, the three followed Duan Mu one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them entered the woods, and finally stopped in front of a bush with lush vegetation.

Duan Mu crouched in front of the bushes, looking at the bushes in front of him, frowning.

"What are you doing so mysteriously?" A corner of Madarame said impatiently: "Even if a kid is lost, he can't run very far. Instead of such a laborious search, it's better to disperse according to Renji's method." Look for."

"He was not lost, but was taken away."

Duan Mu pushed aside the bushes with his hands, and a ball made of rattan caught the eyes of the three of them.

"what is this?"

"The 'can' in the kicking can. The kicking can usually uses an iron can or a tinplate can with a height of 10cm-15cm as a can. However, it is difficult to find a suitable can in Soul Society, so I made a vine for Xiaosuke. Ball, this is the sepak takraw ball I made for him."

"At that time, in order to increase the toughness of the takraw ball, after weaving it, I carved the spirit pattern on the takraw ball to increase the toughness."

"You mean someone cleaned up the remnants of spiritual power around?"

Ayase Chuan frowned, already understood Duan Mu's meaning.

"what?"

Madarame Kazuki and Asai Renji looked at Ayasegawa with some doubts.

Ayase Chuan sighed slightly: "Look carefully, are there traces of spirit patterns on that ball?" After finishing speaking, he pointed to the rattan ball in Duan Mu's hand.

"Low-level spirit patterns have extremely weak spirit particles. Although I don't know much about the inscriptions, the inscriptions carved by Duan Mu should have weak effects. They don't carry spirit particles themselves, but rely on high-level spirit particles from the soul world. Density as a supplementary spirit pattern."

"One advantage of such spiritual patterns is that there is almost no possibility of wear and tear unless they are in a low spiritual environment...that is, in an environment like this world."

"So the spirit patterns will disappear. There is only one possibility, and that is that the spirit particles in this area become weaker or even disappear at a certain moment. After the low-level spirit patterns on the sepak takraw ball lose the support of the spirit particles, the surface spirit patterns will naturally disappear. will go away."

Ayase Chuan bowed and sneered: "However, the high-density spirit particles in the world of corpses and souls are almost everywhere, and it is impossible for the spirit particles in a certain area to disappear at a certain moment, unless someone destroys the entire area in order to eliminate their own traces. His spiritual seeds and his own breath are all eliminated."

Duan Mu glanced at Ayase Chuan and bowed his head, nodded and said: "Ayase Chuan Wuxi is right." I have to say... Among the eleventh team members who can only hack and chop, Ayase Chuan Segawa's relatives are really an outlier.

"The only person who can do this is Reaper, and the average team member can't do this at all."

There was a hint of doubt on A Sanjing Renji's face: "Is it really necessary for such a strong person to arrest a child from Liuhun Street? Even after the arrest, he carefully erased the traces of his being here. How is this possible?" !?"

Although it is inappropriate for him to say this, if the child who disappeared was not the child of Duan Mu's friend, the [-]th Guarding Court would not know what happened here; taking a step back, even if they knew, one or two people were missing And there will be no Grim Reaper to investigate.

Only large-scale disappearances of residents in Ruhun Street will attract the attention of the Goutei [-]th Division, so there is no need for the other party to be cautious to this extent.

"It's not as difficult as you said. Many spiritual tools developed by the Technology Development Bureau can do this."

Duan Mu shook his head. When he followed O Maeda and others to the present world, those defecting third division chiefs had used similar spiritual tools.

That being said.

But what Renji said is also very reasonable. If you just take a child away, there is really no need to clear the traces of your past, unless the other party is sure that someone will come to look for the child, and this person may find traces of his past. .

That is to say...

Yourself!

The other party probably knew that he had a connection with the Emilia family, and also thought that he might come to find the missing Xiaojie, so he was so careful to remove the traces to avoid being discovered by himself.

"I thought it was a boring job, but now it seems to be very interesting."

The corner of Madara's eyes obviously also reacted, and said with a strange smile: "Have you offended someone recently? The other party is not coming after you, is it?"

"If you really came after him, you wouldn't clear the traces, but used that child to lure Boss Duan Mu." Ayase Chuan shook his head personally: "Is there anything special about that child? Take the child away at the risk of being discovered by Boss Duan Mu."

"Could it be someone from the twelfth squad...uh..."

Halfway through Renji Abarai's words, he noticed that three people were looking at him at the same time, and he couldn't help but feel guilty: "Well...Boss Duan Mu...didn't he just say that the Technology Development Bureau has this kind of spiritual tool, so...I just There will be such speculation..."

Having said that...

But he would think that the reason for the [-]th squad is not just this one, but the feeling that those people gave him, they have always been crazy... To study spirit bodies, and they are spirit bodies with the talent to become a god of death. Captain Mayuri Nirvana, it is entirely possible to do it.

Although I just don't know whether it's true or not, there are often rumors that Nirvana Mayori is conducting experiments with members of the [-]th Division.

"It's not entirely impossible."

Ayase Chuan bowed and smiled, then turned to look at Duan Mu who was thinking, "What do you think?"

Duan Mu hesitated for a moment, and said, "That kid is actually a bit weird."

"Weird?" The three were taken aback.

"He died a year ago from this world and came to the Soul Realm."

Duan Mu organized his words, and continued: "When he first became Ms. Hui Meili's child, the spiritual power in his body was not strong, but when I saw him not long ago...he already has the qualifications to become a seat officer. But I didn’t think too much about it at the time, I just thought that after coming to the world with high spirit particle density, his talent was revealed little by little.”

"But I just had an idea..."

Duan Mu paused, frowned and said: "Is there a possibility that his original talent is just the talent when I first met him, but what happened to his spirit body during the year he came to the Soul Realm? Or something has been integrated into it, so that the talent of his spirit body has grown."

"How could you have such an idea?"

Ayase Chuan asked with some doubts, "Did you find anything on him?"

"That's not true, but he strikes me as oddly weird."

Duan Mu shook his head: "I once fought with a villain in the southern 80th area, his aura was extremely unstable, and even his spirit body showed signs of collapse during the battle with me, and just before his death The moment... I suddenly felt an inexplicable strange feeling in my heart."

The big villain Duan Mu mentioned was Yuan Neicang who had fought him once.

After that battle, when Duan Mu recalled that battle after the war, he noticed something... Yuan Neicang seemed to have regained his sanity at the moment before he died. The reason why Duan Mu remembered this was precisely because he was at that time A strange feeling appeared in my heart.

That feeling is extremely weird, if you really want to use any words to describe it.

Somewhat similar to... a sense of presence?

A sense of existence that is so faint that it cannot be noticed, but it cannot be ignored.

But at that time, Duan Mu, because his own state was too bad, just wanted to kill the opponent blindly, and he didn't care about the sense of existence that appeared in a short moment in Yuannei Cang from waking up to death. A feeling of coercion, a little weird and normal.

But now that I think about it...

Duan Mu found that the feeling Xiaojie gave him was very similar to the moment when Yuan Neicang was sober, and it gave Duan Mu a weird sense of existence.

If Xiaojie had not been taken away, Duan Mu would not be able to connect the two of them at all, because that sense of existence was completely integrated with the surrounding environment, and it was impossible to find it through investigation. Nothing unusual.

but……

If Xiaojie, who had just arrived in the Soul Realm, was compared with the Xiaojie he met a few days ago, Duan Mu felt the feeling that Yuanneicang had felt before he died again.

At the moment of Yuan Neicang's death, his body had disintegrated, and those things that had been forcibly integrated into his body were also dissipated. That is to say, Yuan Neicang, who woke up at the moment of death, was the original him.

And the feeling that Xiaojie gave Duan Mu was somewhat similar to that moment of Genneicang.

"What exactly is that feeling?"

Duan Mu frowned, his instinct told him that the feeling was very strange, but his senses couldn't realize it at all, otherwise Duan Mu would have felt this way when he met Xiao Jie a few days ago.

But if it is really as he guessed...

The person who abducted Xiaojie should be able to find out the things that both 'Yuannei Cang' and 'Xiaojie' have through some method, instead of relying on what seems to be an 'illusion' to distinguish .

The most important point is that Duan Mu once heard from the supervision team that after his battle with Yuanneicang, someone had cleared the traces of the battlefield, and when he went to check secretly, he found no trace of breath left.

Is there a possibility that the person who removed the traces was not to remove the traces of the battle, but to recover something that originally existed in the source within the warehouse?

Chapter 1 Accident

In the present world, east of Karakura Town, Urahara store.

The black cat dexterously jumped down from the big tree outside the window, jumped directly into the room full of various instruments, and walked slowly towards the figure in the room with graceful steps.

"Kisuke, since when did you have a habit of voyeurism?"

The black cat sat beside the man it called 'Kisuke', glanced at the big screen, and said: "And the object of peeping is still a man."

On the big screen, there was a young man squatting in front of the bushes, and behind him stood three death gods dressed in death tyrants. They were Duan Mu and the others in West 7th District.

"Hahaha, Ms. Yoruichi's words are really unpleasant." Urahara Kisuke turned the brim of his hat: "I'm just curious about the structure of his body... Hey... I really want to see Soul Society with my own eyes, if possible. It would be better if you cut the meat into pieces and bring it back."

"Huh~~~"

The black cat moved a few steps to the side with a look of disgust, then looked at the big screen curiously and asked, "Can you even monitor the Soul Realm now?"

"The last time he came to this world, I really couldn't hold it back. When he was fighting, I secretly integrated the monitoring bacteria into the spiritual particles he absorbed."

Kisuke Urahara looked at the black-haired young man on the screen, his eyes full of inquiry: "However, it is only limited to Xiliukon Street, which is our stronghold. Lingting will become impossible to monitor."

"Fortunately, he lives in Xiliuhun Street, which is also convenient for me to observe him, but the existence of surveillance bacteria is limited, and he did not know what happened to him a week ago, so he suffered a lot in Seiringting. The injury, I can only see the picture now, but can't hear the sound, and even the picture is intermittent."

"Should I call the police?" The black cat looked at Kisuke Urahara with disdain on his face: "You actually researched something that can spy on other people's privacy, you should really be put in jail."

"This is not what I studied."

Kisuke Urahara chuckled: "Surveillance of bacteria is the research result of Mayuri Nirvana, I just 'borrowed' it."

"...you two are like dogs of a feather."

The black cat complained, and turned to look at the screen: "Speaking of which, what are they doing?"

"I don't know." Kisuke Urahara shook his head: "I can't receive any sound here either, but it looks like I'm looking for something."

"Did it move?"

The black cat said suddenly, and saw that the four people who had been chatting on the screen finally started to move, galloping towards the direction of the mountain.

……

Four figures galloped out along the forest in the mountains on the outskirts of West District 7.

"How did you know it was in this direction?"

Madaramu looked at Duan Mu who was leading the way in front of him: "Hasn't the person who took that kid away already cleared all traces?"

"He did remove all traces, but..."

Duan Mu looked into the distance, and a strange color flashed in his eyes: "Once my improved 'Slap Toe Chasing Sparrow' is released, the spiritual pressure net will spread centered on me over and over again. When oppressing someone, no matter the other party hides their own spiritual pressure, it will trigger the spiritual pressure net."

"And among them, if you encounter a spiritual pressure that I have come into contact with, I will be aware of it immediately."

Although it is a failure, this ghost way was created by Duan Mu in order to deal with the "Mirror Flower and Water Moon". When he used it in this world, even a certain grocery store owner hidden in Karakura Town was detected by him for a while. moment.

but……

The moment he found the other party, Duan Mu gave up on the investigation, because he always felt that that guy, like Nirvana Yuri, belonged to the kind of extremely dangerous research madman.He didn't want to get in touch with these two 'you never know what they're up to secretly' people if he didn't have to.

Closer to home.

Although the person who kidnapped Xiaojie cleared his traces, Xiaojie's own spiritual pressure touched Duan Mu's spiritual pressure net. Even if it was interrupted by the person who kidnapped Xiaojie for a moment, Duan Mu successfully determined the opponent's location.

only……

Hesitation flashed across Duan Mu's eyes.

Do you really want to keep following?

Just clearing your own traces does not explain the strength of the opponent, because you can do this with spiritual tools, but you are aware of your own search immediately and interrupt Duan Mu's investigation in an instant, which is not what spiritual tools can do. did it.

With Hui Meili's favorability towards him, Duan Mu will not refuse any request within his ability.

But Duan Mu needs to think carefully about whether the request exceeds his own ability, whether it is worth it.

And unlike Yu Erzhong, risking his life to accept the commission can provide him with a lot of experience points to enhance his strength.

Even if Emily's favorability is increased, she won't get much experience.Even if it breaks through '60' and multiplies it ten times, it will only be a mere 160 points. There is no need to take risks for this experience point.

Thinking of this, Duan Mu stopped suddenly.

Seeing this, the three people behind them stopped at the same time, and immediately entered a state of alert, observing the surrounding environment.

"Don't be nervous, the other party is not here."
