Chapter 97 Rats in the Sewer

In the evening, the night is getting dark.

A sneaky figure sneaked into the sixth area and knocked on the door of Sifengyuan.

"Your Excellency Kisaragi?"

Looking up at the sky, the Death Guard looked at the young man with an eager expression in front of him, and a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.

"Please wait a moment."

There was no time to ask too much, the guarding Shinigami very wisely activated Shunpo and went to report.

Soon, the other party returned successfully, and the expression on his face became even weirder.

"Please come with me, the master is in the study."

The guarding Death God walked respectfully in front, moving slowly and slowly, as if he was worried about disturbing other people.

After passing through two secluded paths, Ru Yueming successfully arrived at the study.

"Come on, come on."

Yoruichi was wearing loose pajamas, with her long purple hair scattered around her shoulders. When she saw Kisaragi Akira coming in, she repeatedly patted the seat next to her to signal her to come over.

"I was about to go find you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself."

"The fixed properties that Ohmaeda was previously entrusted to resell have been put on the agenda. All of them can be resold within half a month at most."

"Are you going to convert it into cash directly, or do you have other plans?"

Kisaragi Akira was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ohmaeda Nozomi's efficiency to be so fast. It was already on the agenda in less than two days.

If you look at it this way, his temple expansion plan should be ready.

I hope the Ise family knows better.

"I came to you for other reasons."

Ruyue Ming came back to his senses and remembered the purpose of this trip.

Yoruichi blinked and stared at the boy in front of him:

"Have you thought it through?"

Ruyue Ming was stunned and couldn't react for a while:

"Think clearly about what?"

"I'm a bride-in-law, what else could it be?"

Yoruichi pointed to the Sifengyuan family emblem on the desk and smiled: "Thanks to you, I am now the 22nd generation head of the Sifengyuan family."

"After the next Gold Seal Nobles meeting, the information will be notified to other nobles and the Gotei 13."

"Now I won't humiliate you even if I get married."

The moon is bright and silent.

Very good, another one who lusts after his body.

"We will discuss this later."

He quickly changed the subject, "I want to ask you to do a favor and come with me to investigate something."

To prevent Yoichi from interrupting, Ruyue Ming recounted the entire story as quickly as possible.

Industry specializing in surgery.

The covert mobile unit is mainly active in the dark side of Soul Society, and often performs dark side-specific tasks such as executions, assassinations, secret infiltrations, and intelligence gathering.

Although Yoruichi has not yet fully taken office, her abilities are undoubtedly among the best, and there are few who can match her.

If cats don’t use such a useful tool, it would be a waste of resources.

"Rebels, assassinations, unknown existences..."

Yoruichi had a serious expression, muttering to himself, thinking and analyzing.

"I seem to have looked through the files, wait a moment."

After the words fell, the girl turned her back and began to search seriously in the bookshelf next to her. As she continued downwards, her back slowly bent down.

A graceful curved arc appeared in front of the young man.

Judging from her completely undefended performance, her trust in Kisaragi Ming is already close to full.

Ruyue Ming seriously doubts that Ye Yi did it on purpose.

"found it!"

Yoruichi turned around and placed a stack of files on the desk, and then started to read through them.

“It seems a little weird.”

“It is not difficult to see the overall direction of things from Ohmaeda’s analysis.”

"But the most crucial part is missing."

"The Shinigami sent by Team Thirteen were to investigate the reason why Daxu appeared in Soul Society. The Shinigami who assassinated them was obviously to kill people and silence them."

"Then what is the third party's goal and what role does he play in it?"

"Judging from the traces on the scene, the other party seems to be on the side of Team 13, but there is no clue at all about what he did."

"It's as if except for the traces of spiritual pressure, everything else has been erased by some kind of power."

Yoruichi is quite reliable at critical moments.

In a few words, the whole story and the core information were analyzed.

Ru Yueming frowned, trying to find clues from past memories.

He is not a person who can remember details. He can still remember the general direction of the anime in his previous life very well.

Moreover, the timeline he is currently on is estimated to be hundreds of years or more away from the official start of the plot.

And due to various reasons, there are a lot of changes at the moment. The big boss Sosuke has learned to cook, and he seems to be quite good at cooking.

To say the least, he is at the level of a quasi-super chef.

Now let alone infer the plot based on clues, even if the ending is placed in front of him, he may not be able to remember which plot it is related to.

"Hey, don't think too much!"

Yoruichi put away the file, patted the boy on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's go to the 54th District of North Rukongai mentioned by Captain Unohana to investigate. Maybe we can find new clues."

Ru Yueming nodded: "This is the only way."

…………

North Rukongai District 54.

The environment here is between Shanding Temple and Nigu. The environment is not very good, but the civilians living here can barely survive.

It is a sparsely populated, slightly desolate street with few civilians coming and going. On the contrary, occasionally animals shuttle between the houses.

"According to the information provided by Captain Uzhihua, the missing soul comes from the 54th District and is the gangster leader of the West Third Section."

"He bullies men and women, commits all kinds of evil, and even dominates the food source in the third section of the West."

"In addition to him, there are also his subordinates, a total of seventy-nine people."

Looking at the desolate scene in front of him, Yoruichi frowned.

Normally, although the fifty-fourth district cannot be governed due to the number of Death Gods, normally, this place would never be so desolate.

Looking around, there were almost no civilians walking upright.

"Let's investigate the surroundings first."

Yoruichi and Kisaragi looked at each other and nodded in unison.

The two separated and released their spiritual pressure perception in different directions.

Because the matter may involve the rebels, the two did not bring other Death Team members with them when they came to investigate.

Otherwise, if a battle or conflict breaks out, the two of them may be fine, but the people under them may suffer.

Neither Akira Kisaragi nor Yoruichi is the type of fighter who is good at protecting others.

Soon, Yoruichi discovered the clue.

"Ming, here."

Ruyue Ming came to her side in an instant and looked in the direction she pointed. The slightly muddy ground was full of footprints.

Footprints of different sizes are stacked together, making them look intricate.

But judging from the overall traces, it doesn't look like it has experienced a battle.

"They seemed to be attracted by something and gathered together."

Yoruichi analyzed, "In the end, the group headed to an unknown place. The other party seemed to expect that the God of Death would come to investigate, and deliberately disrupted the last traces."

"Then what happens next?"

Ruyue Ming's eyes darkened and he asked for help from the witty girl beside him.

He is the worst at dealing with these things. It's okay to kill people, but forget about finding someone.

Fortunately, what Yoruichi is best at is gathering intelligence.

The two complement each other, but they can barely maintain a balance.

The girl was seen bending over, gesticulating in the mud, forming strange handprints from time to time, and traces of spiritual pressure escaping from her fingertips one after another.

In a short time, Yoruichi found new clues.

"Hmph, as expected of me!"

"How can it be so easy to erase all traces?"

Ruyue Ming observed Ye Yi curiously, and saw her crouching on the ground, her slender fingers constantly tracing the lines, and at the same time murmuring:

"The heart of the south, the pupils of the north."

"The fingertips of the west, the toes of the east,"

"Gather with the wind, disperse with the rain!"

"The Fifty-eight of the Binding Dao: Slap your toes and chase the sparrows!"

The moment the words fell, the lines outlined on the ground suddenly burst into bright light, and the complicated numerical symbols kept flashing and jumping in the light, as if they were conveying some kind of message.

Soon, when the numbers stopped flashing, Ye looked back with joy and said:

"The location is determined."

"The fixed point of West 348 in District 57 of North Rukongai."

Ru Yueming nodded and responded: "Without further delay, let's set off."

The two of them immediately activated Shunpo and disappeared in place, heading straight for the location that Slap Toe Chaser had locked.

…………

North Rukongai District 57.

In the continuous mountains, huge buildings are embedded in the mountains.

Countless ghost paths have intricate patterns, and looming barriers cover the top, covering up traces of their existence.

Inside the building, dozens of black figures gathered here.

Although they were all wearing Death Tyrant uniforms, judging from the lack of team insignia, the identity of this group of people was easily revealed.

Rebel forces.

"How many times have I told you not to attack civilians? Don't attack civilians!"

Shenshan Dun had a ferocious face, full of flesh, and looked at the men in front of him angrily, and let out a deafening roar:

"It is very likely that our actions will be exposed by a group of worthless garbage. If the mission fails, we will all have to apologize!"

"Idiot, trash, stupid!"

In the empty and deep environment, angry curses echoed continuously.

All the subordinates were submissive and did not dare to refute at all, for fear that the leader would vent his anger on themselves.

It wasn't until the scoldings gradually subsided and Shenshan Dun slowly calmed down that someone cautiously explained:

"Lord Shenshan, none of us have been out during this period. The disappearance of souls in District 54 has nothing to do with us."

Hearing this, Shenshan Dun was stunned for a moment, never expecting it to be like this.

"Yes, Master Kamiyama, during the time you left Rukongai, we have been obeying the previous orders, and no one has left the stronghold at all."

Seeing that Shen Shandun was not angry, the others also hurriedly helped, explaining in all directions.

For a moment, the room turned into a mess.

"alright!"

A look of sullenness flashed through Shen Shandun's eyes, "This matter ends here. Since the disappearance of souls has nothing to do with you, there is no need to worry..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of conversation suddenly came from the outside world.

Because the ghost barrier covering the building can not only hide the traces of existence, but also amplify the sounds from the outside world, allowing people inside the stronghold to respond in advance.

This is the secret ghost realm of the Shenshan family.

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the room. Everyone held their breath and carefully distinguished the sounds outside.

The first person to speak seemed to be a young girl: "It should be right here."

"Are you sure?" The responding voice seemed familiar, but Shenshan Dun couldn't remember its identity for a while.

"Well, I've never had a problem with my Slap Toe Chaser."

"And judging from the traces on the mountain, there is a trace of disharmony in the northwest corner, which should be caused by the disguise of the ghost path barrier."

Hearing this, the rebels, no matter how dull they were, understood that they had been discovered.

Just when everyone was nervous, Shen Shandun sneered and said: "There is no need to panic, the people outside are obviously just the survey team."

"By the time they go back to report the situation, we will have already left here."

However, before he finished speaking, a deafening impact came from outside the barrier. The sound, which was amplified several times, echoed in the stronghold, immediately making the rebels look in pain.

Before Shenshan Dun could react, there was a loud roar and a shattering sound. The barrier collapsed and disappeared, and even the roof of the building was directly smashed to pieces.

The bright sunlight shines through the holes into the building, dispelling the darkness inside.

"I found you, sewer rats!"

The rebels followed the sound and saw a young man stepping on the broken edge and letting out a hearty laugh:

"One, two, three, four...sixteen."

"Yorichi, please be careful and don't let them go."

Before she could speak, she saw a meteor falling from Ruyue Ming and jumped directly into the stronghold.

Shen Shandun was the first to react. He immediately showed a ferocious smile and immediately drew his sword to attack. The powerful spiritual pressure filled the stronghold, making the breathing of the people around him become a little stagnant.

"Smash him, Ghost Gold Stick!"

The Zanpakuto changed in the light, and when the hammer was struck, it turned into a weapon similar to a mace.

"Well done!"

The fierce offensive made Ru Yueming's eyes light up, and then he became high-spirited to fight. He clenched the five fingers of his right hand fiercely and erupted into a piercing scream.

The sound of the muscles vibrating is like the strings of a piano being plucked, and the waves of air bursting out.

Yuanliu·Caressing Hands!

After Yamamoto's correction, at this moment he has abandoned the slight discomfort, and his white fighting skills, which were already perfect, have exploded with unprecedented destructive power.

boom! !

Shen Shandun only felt an indescribably terrifying power pouring directly into his limbs and bones along the ghost gold rod.

In the horrified eyes of the rebels, Lord Shenshan Dun, whom they had always feared like a tiger, flew out instantly at the moment of collision, drew a perfect arc in the air, and was directly embedded in the wall!

One blow, instant kill!

There was no time for the rebels to talk nonsense. Ruyue Ming was like a tiger among sheep, perfectly displaying the characteristics of Yuanliu and performing extremely ferociously.

The sound of collisions continued to sound in the stronghold.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen rebels whose strength was comparable to that of the elite Death Gods were piled into a hill.

The rebel stronghold was destroyed.
