Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Fang Rui entered the Fourth Division without being stopped or disturbed. Here he wants to say again that Aizen's Zanpakuto is really useful.

Since it's a replica of Aizen's sword, Fang Rui can use the same marks he left behind.

Soon, Fang Rui found Unohana Retsu.

In the courtyard of the Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana sat alone by the side, looking at the scene in the courtyard, lost in thought.

"Hey! Sister Hua, hello!"

Fang Rui deactivated his Zanpakuto's power, sat opposite Unohana Retsu, and greeted her with a smile.

"It's you?!" Although she was surprised by Fang Rui's address, she was more concerned that Fang Rui dared to appear in front of her again.

"That's right, it's me. I've come to chat with you." Fang Rui stated his purpose for the trip directly, whether Unohana Retsu believed him was another matter.

"Want to chat with me?" Unohana Retsu looked puzzled, unsure how to respond.

The enemy came to chat with him? This was the first time he'd encountered something like this...

"What do you want to talk about?" It was quite interesting, and Retsu Unohana didn't refuse.

On the other hand, this is inside the Fourth Division, and most of the members of the Fourth Division don't have much combat power. If a fight breaks out here, the members of the Fourth Division will probably suffer heavy losses.

Although she is belligerent, she is able to control herself when faced with certain situations.

"Shall we talk about your romantic experiences?"

Fang Rui... was dancing in a minefield.

Unohana Retsu's expression froze instantly, and an uncontrollable murderous aura erupted from him.

Fortunately, there was no one nearby, otherwise the ordinary team members might have fainted from fright.

"Don't make such a scary face! I'm serious. If you don't want to talk about this, we can change the subject."

Fang Rui gestured to Unohana Retsu not to get agitated, saying there was something she couldn't say.

"Hiss~ Huff..." Taking a deep breath and suppressing her killing intent, Retsu Unohana said, "No."

"Same as me!" Fang Rui replied, admitting that he indeed had no serious romantic experience.

As he spoke, Fang Rui looked at Retsu Unohana's face. It was the face of a mature woman, very elegant and gentle.

But how should I put it? The murderous intent is very strong!

She appears to be a gentle and beautiful woman, but you can actually sense a hidden murderous intent within her.

"........."

Unohana Retsu glanced at Fang Rui but said nothing. "You think you can compare to me?"

If you mention this again, I'll kill you!

"Understood." Reading Unohana Retsu's gaze, Fang Rui indicated no problem. "Let's change the subject," he said. "How about we talk about how many problems exist within Seireitei?"

The problems within Seireitei can be broadly categorized into three: the Wandenreich, Aizen, and a sword.

The other minor issues are not a concern.

"We can play a game. If you win, I'll tell you some information. If I win, you have to grant me a request. What do you think? Will you agree?"

"Intelligence? Problem..." Unohana Retsu's expression was calm, without any extra emotion arising from Fang Rui's words.

Reflecting on the situation in Seireitei, although there were Shinigami and nobles breaking the law, the situation was relatively minor and not a serious problem.

However, since the other party dared to say that, they must have some information.

How do I know if you're trying to fool me with false information?

"In that case, I'll reveal some less important information to you. You should know about Bavent, right? They are still alive."

Upon hearing this, Retsu Unohana's expression changed slightly. She knew a little about the Bounts; a more formal term would be Soul Hunters. They were a byproduct of the Seireitei Research Institute's research on souls, and their danger level wasn't particularly high—they were easily dealt with.

"Think about it, students at the True Spiritual Arts Academy graduate every few years. Even without a teacher, what would be the result for someone who has a method to become stronger after decades of exploration?"

“Especially these kinds of people, there’s more than one…”

"Furthermore, these people harbor hatred towards Seireitei. What do you think will happen?"

"Thank you for your information." Although he couldn't confirm the authenticity of Fang Rui's information, Unohana Retsu believed it to be true.

Chapter 429 Games and Intelligence

"...And what's your reply?"

Fang Rui asked again, saying that he had already shown sincerity and needed the other party to show sincerity in return.

"Okay, let's play a game!"

It's unclear how much intelligence Fang Rui possesses, but Retsu Unohana is willing to take the gamble; obtaining valuable information would be considered a success.

"Your choice is absolutely correct." Fang Rui first praised Unohana Retsu, then selected a game, "Let's choose chess! It's simple, but it's very suitable."

"By the way, do you know the rules of chess?"

“I know.” Seeing Fang Rui produce a chess set out of thin air, Unohana Retsu was not surprised at all. In the previous meeting, they had already discussed the relevant issues and suspected that Fang Rui’s Zanpakuto ability was a copy.

Fang Rui's current actions have made Unohana Retsu even more certain of her suspicions.

So... what are its limits? Just how many abilities can it replicate? And how much of the original's power does the replicated ability possess?

A host of questions piled up in Unohana Retsu's mind. She glanced at Fang Rui's face, which was completely indifferent, and she didn't mind showing her abilities to her enemy.

Turning their gazes away, Unohana Retsu quietly arranged the chess pieces, and the two remained silent.

After all preparations were complete, Fang Rui raised his right arm: "Rock, paper, scissors..."

Unohana Retsu cooperated perfectly, raising her right arm as well, shaking it back and forth a few times, and then extending it forward.

One is scissors, the other is rock.

"I'll go first." With that, Fang Rui moved the "cannon".

"...Shall we find something to talk about?" From the very beginning of the game, Retsu Unohana had no intention of playing quietly; instead, she wanted to ask for more information.

"Sure, I can tell you some basic information, but the important information is the prize, and I won't tell you that."

Fang Rui could guess what she was thinking, so he had no intention of refusing. He considered some ordinary information as a free gift, nothing much. Since she wanted it, he would give it to her.

Do you know anything more about Bavent?

Unohana Retsu didn't beat around the bush; her approach was very direct, without any preamble, and she asked the question straight to the point.

"That's really direct!" Fang Rui sighed softly, then explained, "I don't have much information about Bavent; I only know a part of it by chance."

"What I can tell you is that Bavent is organizing an attack on Seireitei, but as for when the attack will occur..."

Thinking of this, Fang Rui curled his lips and deduced from the timeline that it should be after Aizen betrayed the Gotei 13 that the overall strength of the Seireitei declined, and at the same time, some of its energy was devoted to dealing with Hueco Mundo, which made it easier for the Bount to invade.

"Then we'll see when Seireitei weakens."

Fang Rui couldn't know the exact time, since the plot had already changed when he got involved.

"Weakness?" The Seireitei's overall strength has always been at a relatively high level. If it is a superficial weakness, it should be due to the captain's defection many years ago.

The specific circumstances remain a mystery. On a certain day, several captains, vice-captains, and executive officers left Seireitei, and there has been no news of them for many years.

If we're talking about weakness, the period when we were missing several captains and vice-captains could be considered a period of weakness!

In other words, the Bount will attack when Seireitei appears to be weak, in conjunction with some earlier statements made by someone.

Unohana Retsu squinted, seemingly lost in thought.

'It seems the Seireitei is destined for a turbulent future!'

Compared to the crucial information he deliberately revealed, the problems caused by Bount were not particularly difficult.

Thinking this, Unohana Retsu moved her "chariot" and captured one of the opponent's "pawns".

"It seems you've already guessed what's going on, so I won't say anything more..."

As he spoke, Fang Rui smiled and placed his "cannon" on top of the opponent's "horse".

"What is your reason for coming to Seireitei?" Taking into account the game time and penalties, Retsu Unohana was giving it her all while diligently gathering information.

"reason?"

Of course, he couldn't bring himself to say anything like "coming to cause trouble." Fang Rui stared at the chessboard, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "If you ask me for my reasons, it's actually hard for me to give you a precise answer right now. The initial reason was that I wanted to come and take a look, but later... it was due to all sorts of reasons..."

Unohana Retsu was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with the vague answer; from the beginning, she hadn't expected to get a precise answer.

It was just an attempt.

"You've asked so many questions, now it's my turn to ask some!"

Before Retsu Unohana could continue speaking, Fang Rui preemptively asked, "What do you think of the Seireitei as it is now?"

"In my opinion, it's pretty good, but there's still room for improvement."

As the captain of one of the divisions invited by the Captain-Commander, she has been growing alongside Seireitei. Compared to the Seireitei of the past, the current Seireitei is better in some aspects and worse in others, but having witnessed the changes in Seireitei, she knows that Seireitei will continue to change.

"For example, adding entertainment facilities, such as televisions and refrigerators?"

Fang Rui suddenly chimed in, talking about what he wanted, or rather, complaining.

Despite possessing advanced technology capable of manufacturing all sorts of electrical appliances, the Seireitei remains unchanged, clinging to its ancient state.

Perhaps it's because the captains of each squad didn't have the inclination to add entertainment and living facilities, resulting in many electrical appliances not being incorporated into daily life.

The captains of each division, those who held power, had no intention of changing things, but instead maintained the Seireitei's long-standing rules, stability, and authority...

What...are you talking about?

Unless absolutely necessary, a captain-level Grim Reaper will not go to the human world, as the procedures are quite complicated.

Therefore, only some ordinary Grim Reapers who go to the mortal realm to guard it know about the changes, and these people will not talk about the situation in the mortal realm, at most they will share it with their friends.

"Simply put, they are props that are helpful for life, reduce daily chores, and increase fun."

At this point, Fang Rui tilted his head and thought for a moment, then added, "If you can't understand, can I explain it to you in another way?"

"See?" Grasping the key point in the other person's words, Retsu Unohana replied, "Of course."

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui gently waved his hand, and a screen appeared on one side of the chessboard. Unohana Retsu's gaze was drawn to it, as the screen played explanatory videos of appliances such as televisions and washing machines.

"Yes, it's an interesting prop. It would be good to promote it." Retsu Unohana nodded slightly.
