Therefore, due to the combination of these two factors, the two stopped fighting, while Unohana Retsu would occasionally go to Rukongai to find targets for "sharpening" swords.

Without fighting, people become dull.

"That's such a simple evaluation. It feels like you're hiding a lot of things you haven't said!"

Fang Rui's tone sounded like an exclamation, yet also like he was just saying it casually.

“You too,” Retsu Unohana replied.

As she spoke, she moved the "cart" and said, "General."

"Oh dear! I lost so quickly, it's a bit ridiculous."

Fang Rui's tone showed no surprise, while Unohana Retsu's expression was somewhat helpless. "The water you released is practically obvious."

"When you're fishing, you have to offer bait, otherwise if my punishment is even slightly excessive, you'll give up, so..."

"Ready? I'm about to throw in the bait!"

Upon hearing this, Retsu Unohana's expression remained unchanged, her demeanor indifferent: "What bait are you going to offer?"

"Regarding the traitor in the Gotei 13, do you think this bait is enough?"

"It depends." Unohana Retsu said calmly. Traitors from the Seireitei and the Gotei 13 are not uncommon. It depends on the specific circumstances.

"As a result of the incident, the Gotei 13 will lose several captains, their strength will be greatly reduced, and they will gain a very strong opposing force, an enemy that even the Captain-Commander must deal with seriously."

"…………" Unohana Retsu's expression instantly perked up. A formidable enemy, a worthy foe to be slain.

It's interesting that there's an enemy hidden within the Seireitei that can make the Captain-Commander take things seriously.

As she was saying this, Fang Rui's voice suddenly came: "The game is paused. We'll talk about other things after you confirm the authenticity of the information."

"As for the veracity of the intelligence, we'll know within a month... probably!"

As far as he knew, Rukia had already gone to Karakura Town. Although he didn't know how long Rukia would stay in Karakura Town, he believed that Aizen would act ahead of time due to his interference.

As for Kisuke Urahara, he can influence things; if both sides accelerate, someone will naturally be exposed ahead of time.

"See you in a month then, and we'll play even more fun games."

After saying that, Fang Rui left the place.

The next second, a group of Shinigami arrived at this place, following Retsu Unohana's Zanpakuto.

Retsu Unohana looked at a group of familiar faces, including some of the squad captains and vice-captains.

"Why are you here?" Unohana Retsu asked, puzzled. He hadn't asked for help, and Fang Rui's spiritual pressure was well controlled, with no leakage whatsoever.

"I saw your Zanpakuto wandering outside and was worried that you might be in danger."

Kotetsu Isane replied that she saw the captain's Zanpakuto carrying a note with a request for tea and snacks, which really made her panic.

After all, the captain had never done this before, so there must have been an accident.

Then she went to other squads for help, and a bunch of captains and vice-captains rushed over.

"There's no danger, but I did see some intruders."

After a moment of silence, Retsu Unohana answered, telling part of the truth and concealing part of it.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, everyone looked around. The courtyard and houses were undamaged, but...

What's with your outfit?!

The crowd looked at each other strangely, hesitant to speak, not daring to show any unusual expression.

"What's he doing here?" Everyone shifted their attention.

"I guess you could call it... a bet?"

Thinking back on her previous experiences, Unohana Retsu's tone was uncertain. She felt that Fang Rui's reason for coming to see her was not a legitimate one.

Like a spider weaving its web, she is the prey caught in the web.

"A bet?" the crowd asked, puzzled.

Unohana Retsu didn't elaborate, but the information Fang Rui provided indicated that there was a traitor in Seireitei, and that the traitor was extremely powerful. Although she didn't believe it all, Fang Rui's words planted a seed in her heart, preventing her from revealing everything.

"I'm going to see the Commander-in-Chief. Do you want to come with me?"

After saying that, Retsu Unohana rode away on her Zanpakuto. The others exchanged glances for a moment but did not follow.

Instead, they began searching the surrounding area. They hadn't seen any enemies on their way here, so they guessed that the enemy might be hiding nearby and hadn't left. In short, they decided to search the area.

Some of the deputy captains wanted to follow along and listen in, but seeing that the captain didn't follow, they gave up the idea and patrolled the area together.

In the First Division barracks, Retsu Unohana relayed information given to her by someone, including information about Bount and the traitor, but didn't mention any other miscellaneous details.

“Barvent, traitor… Since he says we’ll see the results within a month, let’s wait a month! But the manhunt won’t stop, keep looking for him.”

Before actually seeing the "answer," it's impossible to confirm whether it's true or false. At the same time, the other party does indeed have the crime of illegally trespassing into Seireitei, so it's normal to punish them.

At the same time, Fang Rui himself left Soul Society, leaving behind two clones: one causing trouble in Seireitei, and the other returning to the human world to cooperate with Kisuke Urahara in carrying out the plan.

What plan are you asking about? It's the Hogyoku Plan, of course.

The treasure remains hidden, and the voyeurs will not disappear. The best solution is to address the root cause of the problem.

Therefore, Kisuke Urahara's choice was to deal with Aizen and the Hogyoku.

He himself went to another world to seek the power of the "contract".

When it comes to contracts, the first thing Fang Rui thinks of is the Geo Archon of Liyue, but the Geo Archon's "contract" is based on power, not rules.

There may be some, but they don't make up a large proportion.

After all, in Teyvat, there are quite a few people who dare to go back on their word after signing a contract.

Therefore, Fang Rui prepared to seek a more powerful force to restrain him.

In one world, the gods vied for the sole throne. The races they created were the vanguard of the gods, scorching the prosperous land into scorched earth. Humans hid in caves, while thick clouds piled up high in the sky, and black ash continued to fall, destroying the vitality of the land.

"What a terrible world."

Watching the black ash falling from the sky, Fang Rui, back in his body, gazed into the distance. A humanoid creation with obvious mechanical features was slowly moving forward in the air. There were no green plants or animals within a hundred miles.

"No wonder it's a battlefield for the gods."

"Speaking of which, how do you capture a Mech-type? If you don't control the core, capturing a Mech-type seems... not a problem."

After all, the disappearance of one or two mechs is not a big deal on the battlefield.

Of course, this is on the premise that the connection with the central hub is broken.

"Whatever! Since we've come across this, let's give it a try."

With that thought in mind, Fang Rui flew toward his target.

At the same time, the mech formation that had been moving aimlessly in the air suddenly stopped and turned to look at someone who was rapidly approaching.

"...Life form reaction!"

"...Unfamiliar energy reaction, energy level confirmed..."

"...adopt the fifth option."

The formation of the machine armor units has changed, with the combat units at the front, the observation and analysis units on the sides, the design units at the rear, and the connection and command units in the center.

Generally speaking, there is no specific requirement for the number of a fully formed squad of mechs. The number Fang Rui encountered this time was thirty mechs.

Logically speaking, the number is too large.

"Bombardment!"

First came a probing barrage to test the enemy's strength; dazzling beams of light descended from the sky, both beautiful and dangerous.

"Ouch~" Fang Rui's laughter was completely unrestrained as he swiftly dodged attacks, demonstrating his high mobility.

"Enemy speed increased detected. Change combat tactics."

An energy light curtain unfolded, sealing off the surrounding space and restricting Fang Rui's movement to a certain range.

"Spatial blockade? That won't work on me~"

As he spoke, Fang Rui vanished instantly, arriving at the location of the command center. Because I had no intention of using spatial teleportation, and the confined space had little effect on me, therefore…

“I have an advantage when fighting you.”

He pinched the head of the command body with his five fingers, projecting his consciousness into it. The mechs that were about to attack Fang Rui stopped and hovered in the air.

The connection with the control center went smoothly, but other mechs in the vicinity were affected.

"Who...are you?" A mechanical voice echoed in the quiet space. This was the consciousness space belonging to the control center of the machine armor species, where signal beams flowed erratically throughout...

"I came to talk to you. Could you give me a few mechs? One of each model, it's up to you whether you sever the central link or not, but it's best if you can. It would be nice if you have the relevant knowledge, but it's okay if you don't..."

"I refuse your request; we have no reason to grant it."

"A reason?" Fang Rui nodded slightly. "You're right. A one-sided demand is akin to robbery. We should make a deal. I can give you some information that will allow you to evolve, and in return, you need to give me a few mechs. What do you think?"

"...Evolution?" The control center reacted to this word. "How can I be sure you're telling the truth?"

"It's very simple. You send a mech to follow me. Before the evolution, don't sever the link with the mech. After the evolution is successful, sever the link. What do you think?"

"Yes." The voice from the control center echoed through the space, then asked, "What's the news about the evolution?"

"In the future, there will be an organism that breaks free from central control and re-establishes its connection. She will be the opportunity for your evolution."

Fang Rui provided intelligence: if the control center could be linked more quickly, could Shubi survive?

The probability is low; unless there is a sufficient number of Mech-type units near Shubi, the outcome cannot be changed.

"By the way, remember to let me know when you receive the message. I'd like to observe from the sidelines."

"No problem." The control center's response effectively declared the transaction complete.

Chapter 431 Transaction Successful

Having obtained what he wanted, Fang Rui stopped communicating and went alone to the top of a mountain to wait for the goods to be delivered.

As per Fang Rui's request, the mechs he was given had to include all models, and their appearance had to be that of beautiful women, since he didn't want a bunch of men following his interests.

The machine-armored creatures are very efficient; they found him before long, and the first step of the transaction was completed.

As for the second step, it would take some time. He had no interest in going to human settlements to confirm the time. For machine armored creatures, waiting was a very common occurrence.
