Death's Hidden Mobile

Shiba Kukaku said proudly, "That's right, I am the number one pyrotechnician in the entire Soul Society."

Shiba Kaien said irritably, "That's why you often cause explosions in the backyard, leading to numerous complaints from others."

Shiba Kukaku immediately ignored him and looked at Natsuhiko, asking, "Kid, do you want to see my lab?"

Xia Yan was very curious about Shiba Kukaku's pyrotechnics skills, so he asked, "Is it alright?"

Shiba Kukaku said with a smile, "Then come with me."

Shiba Kukaku stood up and left with Natsuhiko; the two disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shiba Kaien scratched his head and said, "This Kukaku just took Natsuhiko away."

Shiba said with a smile, "Isn't this great? Xia Yan is a little uncomfortable sitting with us, so it's better to have Kukaku accompany him."

Shiba Kaien asked irritably, "And Shiba Ganju hasn't come back yet. My two younger brothers and sisters are really a handful."

Chapter 63: Shiba Kukaku

Xia Yan followed Shiba Kukaku to the back, and as they walked, Shiba Kukaku said, "Kid, shouldn't you thank me?"

Xia Yan looked up in confusion and asked Shiba Kukaku, "Thank you?"

Shiba Kukaku said with a smile, "I could tell you were uncomfortable with your older brother and sister-in-law, so I invited you."

It turned out to be the case.

Kukaku Shiba may seem carefree, but she is actually a person with high emotional intelligence. Sometimes she may deliberately ignore what others say, but she is actually very considerate of other people's feelings.

Xia Yan replied, "Thank you, Kong He. I'm not used to being thanked."

"Haha, you're just like me."

Shiba Kukaku smiled and ruffled Natsuhiko's hair, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the lab."

The two arrived at the backyard, and Shiba Kukaku walked into the long corridor on the left side of the backyard and continued walking towards the back.

The corridor wasn't far, only extending about the width of two rooms. A door appeared in front of it, and behind it was an open courtyard, but the ground was uneven and looked like it had been ravaged.

There was only one house in the yard, which occupied the entire width of the yard. Shiba Kukaku walked over and opened the door. Inside was a huge room filled with items, and there was a workbench in one corner of the room.

Shiba Kukaku explained, "This is my laboratory, but it's a bit messy."

Xia Yan walked in, browsing through the fireworks, and noticed a fist-sized sphere next to it. He asked, "Is this also a firework?"

Shiba Kukaku said, "These are bombs, not fireworks. This small round ball is a smoke bomb, and this is a flashbang."

Xia Yan asked curiously, "Sister Kong He, could you demonstrate its power for me?"

Shiba Kukaku nodded and said, "Of course."

Shiba Kukaku grabbed two bombs, carried them outside, and said, "Let's test the bombs first."

Shiba Kukaku picked up the bomb but didn't light it. Instead, she took out a strip with an ignition source similar to that on a matchbox.

As for the bombs, they didn't have fuses, but rather red dots, which were oxidizers.

Shiba Kukaku picked up the bomb, lightly rubbed the red dot on it, and the next moment, the red dot on the bomb caught fire.

"The detonation time is three seconds."

Shiba Kukaku, clutching the bomb, spoke to Natsuhiko.

"It's been two seconds already, Kukaku-nee, hurry up and throw it!"

Xia Yan screamed in fright when he saw the bomb so close to him.

"Haha."

Shiba Kukaku waited until the bomb was about to explode before throwing it, and it detonated about three meters away from the two of them.

The bomb did not fire any shrapnel; instead, it created a burst of flames. The flames were very concentrated and caused a violent explosion within a certain area, with considerable temperature and impact.

It is very powerful, but unlike hand grenades and landmines in the modern world, it does not injure people by flying metal fragments.

Are you looking for a burst of high-energy damage?

It's also very convenient; you just need to stick this ignition belt to your body, wipe it with the bomb, and you can ignite it.

Shiba Kukaku picked up a slightly smaller bomb, wiped it on the detonator, threw it forward, and shouted, "This is a smoke bomb."

After the smoke grenade landed, it exploded into a huge cloud of smoke with a loud bang.

"Be careful, this smoke isn't poisonous, but it's very pungent."

Shiba Kukaku covered his mouth with a piece of clothing, but Natsuhiko did not move. As the smoke enveloped him, wisps of air rose from his body.

boom.

The smoke dispersed and drifted into the distance.

Shiba Kukaku asked curiously, "Is this Kido?"

Xia Yan smiled and said, "I guess so."

Actually, this is Wind Shunhong. In the two years after Shikai, Xia Yan gave up Lei Shunhong and began to study Wind Shunhong.

They have now mastered the method of converting wind-type demonic arts, which allows them to generate wind on their body surface, but they cannot generate combat power.

"Wait a moment."

Shiba Kukaku returned to the house, took out two pairs of sunglasses, and said, "Next up is the flashbang test, so you'll need to wear sunglasses."

After Xia Yan took the sunglasses and put them on, he looked at Shiba Kukaku, who appeared even more dashing.

"Haha, little rascal, you look so funny with those sunglasses on."

Shiba Kukaku looked at Natsuhiko and burst into laughter.

Seeing her like that, Xia Yan said irritably, "Sister Kong He, hurry up."

Shiba Kukaku suppressed his smile, lightly wiped the flashbang on his detonator, and threw it into the distance.

boom.

A burst of intense light erupted, but it was blocked by the sunglasses.

Shiba Kukaku said, "Flashbangs are very powerful and can blind someone for a short time."

Xia Yan nodded and said, "It's really great. If used in battle, its power will be extraordinary."

Smoke grenades can conceal one's form, flashbangs can blind one, but the power of bombs is not that important.

Xia Yan suddenly wondered, what if the covert mobile forces were equipped with these bombs?

The covert mobile force's execution squad, using smoke grenades and flashbangs to conceal their figures, and leveraging their superior speed to carry out assassinations in the smoke, can increase combat effectiveness.

However, the execution squad wasn't under his command, and he had to go back to tell Soi Fon, so he asked, "Kukaku-nee, can I take a few with me?"

Shiba Kukaku nodded and said, "Of course, but what do you want to do?"

Xia Yan said with a smile, "I would like to ask Captain Soi Fong if it is possible to equip the Criminal War Unit with these items. If so, we will need to purchase them from Sister Sora."

Shiba Kukaku's eyes lit up, and he said, "In that case, wouldn't I be able to make a lot of money?"

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Of course, the covert mobile force will need a lot of bombs, and the cost will definitely be substantial."

Shiba Kukaku shook his head and said, "But I can't make many by myself, and I can't spend all my time making these low-level items."

Kukaku Shiba has a fanatical fascination with explosions; bombs, flashbangs, and smoke bombs are merely the most basic items.

Xia Yan said with a smile, "We can set up a factory. There are many residents in Rukongai, and we can have them work here."

Shiba Kukaku looked at Natsuhiko, somewhat tempted, and said, "There are many people in Rukongai who are starving and cold. If we can give them a job, we can save many lives. Natsuhiko, this is a good idea. You must persuade your captain."

Xia Yan said, "I will do my best."

Xia Yan stayed in Kukaku's laboratory for a while. When it was time to eat, he was called to the front yard to eat and saw Shiba Ganju.

Shiba Ganju is now very tall and looks extremely strong. When he saw Xia Yan, he bent down and stared at him, saying, "This little brat saved my sister-in-law? I don't think he's anything special."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan reached out and placed his hand on Shiba Ganju's arm. The next moment, an electric current flashed, and Shiba Ganju's body trembled violently.

The eleventh of the Path of Destruction, adorned with lightning.

Shiba Ganju collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing, black smoke billowing from his hair.

Seeing this, Shiba Kaien smiled and said, "What do you think now?"

Shiba Ganju lay on the ground, raised his thumb, and said weakly, "Very impressive."

(Two updates are indeed a bit short, but without recommendations, I dare not update more for the time being. So I plan to write a yuri story about Soi Fon and Yoruichi, about their acquaintance, understanding, love, and battle against tentacle Hollows, or other themes? You can join the group: 499584279 to discuss it.)

Chapter 64: Bomb Procurement

After having dinner at the Shiba house, it was already evening. Natsuhiko returned to the Second Division and did not rush to give Soi Fon the bomb that Shiba Kukaku had made.

The next day, Xia Yan specially called Soi Fon to the training ground and demonstrated the three bombs to her one by one.

"The power is pretty good, and it also has smoke and flash effects."

Soi Fon looked at the bomb and said thoughtfully.

Xia Yan asked expectantly, "Our covert mobile force, the Criminal Investigation Department, can be equipped with these bombs. They are easy to operate. Can we purchase them?"

Soi Fon replied, "Actually, the Execution Squad has had similar ideas for a long time. Smoke grenades and flashbangs are important, but the only problem is the miniaturization of the bombs and their ignition methods and practical application. The bombs made by the Shiba family have achieved this, but practical application is still a problem. We need to carefully verify whether they are suitable for combat."

Xia Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll borrow ten criminal investigators and give me a month to train them. Captain Soi Fon, please take a look and see if that's acceptable?"

Soi Fon nodded and said, "Okay, go and do it."

Upon hearing Soi Fon's order, Xia Yan began to arrange the execution team members.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

On this day, Soi Fon stood in the center of the training field, surrounded by more than a dozen stunt team members, with Shiba Kukaku and Natsuhiko also nearby.

These criminal investigators each carried several bombs. The bombs were made smaller after the manufacturing process was improved, and given their carrying capacity, carrying more than a dozen was not a problem.

Xia Yan smiled and said to Kong He, "After the training, the combat power of these criminal warriors has greatly increased, but we still need to test it out to see how it works. If it succeeds, we can get a lot of orders."

Kukaku nodded and said, "Soi Fon is very strong, but I believe these bombs will work on her."

"Let's see how it goes."
