Death's Hidden Mobile

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Then I'll go and order one."

As he spoke, Xia Yan put the clothes into his pocket and put them away.

Seeing this, Soi Fon blushed and asked, "Why are you still keeping this? I won't wear it, just throw it away."

Xia Yan looked at Soi Fon and said, "I can't wear it now, but after we get married, Soi Fon-neechan can wear it just for me to see."

Soi Fon's face flushed red as she recalled the scene, and she said, "I won't wear it."

"Then I won't wear it."

Although Xia Yan said that, he secretly hid the clothes away.

Soi Fon knew exactly what Natsuhiko was thinking, but she didn't stop him. If they really got married, it wouldn't be a problem for him to wear it.

Xia Yan picked up the notebook again, turned to the second page, and said, "That was clothing, which can reduce resistance and increase speed. This is an attack method."

"This is?"

Soi Fon looked at the contents of the notebook. It contained four iron armors, somewhat like gauntlets and leg armor, which could cover the forearms and calves. They were made of metal and had patterns, allowing the Lightning Kido to rotate within them and finally unleash a pure Lightning Cannon.

It is extremely hard and can shatter the steel sheet.

Just like the special armor that Kisuke Urahara created for Yoruichi, it can crack the second-state blue skin, and then, in combination with Shunko, it can continue to cause damage.

Xia Yanduo designed the patterns, which, combined with Lei Shunhong, can unleash a lightning energy cannon.

It also has a tip; the one on the left is a cone, all made of metal, which can concentrate all the power at the tip of the cone to unleash an attack.

The right hand is a claw, but with a gap left in it so that the liberated wasp can be put in.

However, a material of such strength has not yet been found, and Xia Yan plans to go to Mayuri Kurotsuchi to ask if it is possible to achieve this.

Soi Fon's eyes lit up when she saw the description of the armor, and she said, "If I could really make this kind of armor, my attack power and defense power would be greatly improved."

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Furthermore, I'll leave a small opening in your right hand so you can use your Shikai as equipment for Suzumebachi. These patterns can also be used to stack Lightning-type Kido or unleash Shunpo. And here..."

Listening to Xia Yan's words, Soi Fon knew that Xia Yan must have put a lot of effort into this armor, and she was very moved. She didn't know that he had done so much in secret.

Soi Fon couldn't help but say, "Thank you."

Xia Yan was slightly taken aback, then said, "You're welcome."

Soi Fon laughed and said, "If you manage to forge this armor, I'll wear the first outfit you designed after we get married to show you."

Xia Yan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is it true?"

Soi Fon nodded and said, "Of course it's true."

"Great."

Xia Yan felt incredibly excited at the thought of Soi Fon wearing a school swimsuit, white stockings, and gym shoes.

"Do you need to be so excited?" Soi Fon looked at Natsuhiko and scolded him irritably.

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Of course we need to."

Soi Fon rolled her eyes at Natsuhiko, but at that moment, a figure pushed open the door, walked into the room, came to Soi Fon's side, and whispered a few words.

"I'll go right away."

Soi Fon said, looking at Natsuhiko, "The Execution Army has a mission. A Shinigami attempted murder but failed and escaped from Seireitei. He used to be a nobleman. Orders have been issued to assassinate him without interrogation."

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Captain Soi Fon, you can go now."

Such missions occur periodically, and they are usually not carried out by arresting the perpetrators, but rather by sending covert mobile units to assassinate them.

Just like Rukia's violation of the rules, if she were to be sentenced to death, it would require the deployment of the Covert Force.

However, in the end, the Sixth Division was dispatched to bring Rukia back.

Soi Fon left quickly. Natsuhiko yawned, packed his things, and planned to go find Mayuri Kurotsuchi in a few days.

. . .

However, two hours later, Soi Fon still hadn't returned. A member of the Riting team pushed open the door and said, "Lord Natsuhiko, Captain Soi Fon wants you to lead a combat team to search the South Rukongai area."

Xia Yan stood up and asked, "Hasn't that Grim Reaper been found?"

A member of the Riting team said, "Yes, Soi Fon went to the East Rukongai, but halfway through the search, we learned that he had already left. So Soi Fon went to the South Rukongai, but at the same time, she hopes that Natsuhiko-sama and Ōmaeda-sama will go to help with the search. Vice-Captain Ōmaeda will go to the North Rukongai to search, while Natsuhiko-sama will go to the West Rukongai to search. This is what a rogue Shinigami looks like."

A member of the Riding team handed Xia Yan a drawing. After Xia Yan put it away, he said, "Okay, I'll go right now."

(Third update, Monday, please vote. Also, a setting change: Rukia was indeed placed in the Hogyoku when she first went to the mortal world more than forty years ago at the beginning of the story, not the spirit body she obtained at the beginning. While reading a certain chapter today, I suddenly discovered a sentence that indirectly proves that Rukia was placed in the Hogyoku long ago. So now Rukia already has the Hogyoku in her body, but the protagonist cannot remove it, cannot enter the Great Spirit Book Corridor, and cannot escape Aizen.)

This was the original plan, then it was changed, and now it's been changed back, causing confusion for everyone. Sorry.

Chapter 82: Encirclement and Slaughter

Xia Yan went to the Criminal Army and mobilized a ten-person combat team, along with thirty investigators, to head to West Rukongai (location changed).

A single execution squad, equipped with smoke grenades, flashbangs, sonic bombs, and explosives, along with the Ghost Path combination, can seriously injure even a vice-captain level expert if ambushed.

As for the investigators, their capabilities are somewhat lacking, and their main task is investigation and follow-up.

The Grim Reaper who was captured was an ordinary one, and it did not require much capture power.

Soi Fon is currently in South Rukongai, Noriyo Ōmaeda is in North Rukongai, and Natsuhiko is in West Rukongai. This way, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Xia Yan led his men away from Seireitei and arrived at the edge of West Rukongai, where he had them scatter to investigate.

The main investigators are the worm nest's surveillance personnel, skilled in investigation, tracking, and concealment, using a dragnet-like approach to search.

This method is rather clumsy, but Rukongai has a large population, and Shinigami are completely special beings. As long as they appear in the relevant area, someone will always see them.

The area ahead is relatively peaceful, with most people living and working in peace and contentment, and very few outsiders, making it easy to conduct research.

Xia Yan had two investigators investigate a neighborhood, one openly and the other covertly. It took about half an hour to investigate an area.

Within an hour, the thirty investigators had completed their survey of all thirty areas and were moving on to the next area.

"Grandpa, have you spotted this person?"

Xia Yan took the portrait and handed it to an elderly man.

The latter waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "We haven't had Death come here in a long time."

Almost all the Grim Reapers reside in the Seireitei, and the few who live outside will reside in areas with earlier serial numbers.

After area 30, the chance of encountering the Grim Reaper is extremely low.

Xia Yan questioned several people but found no trace of Death. However, he could only continue his investigation.

When they reached more than fifty areas, Xia Yan began to investigate house by house. The area was already quite chaotic, and they had to be careful of where the other party was hiding.

But it still hasn't arrived, though it probably won't.

Captain Soi Fon investigated the East Rukongai and learned that he had left, so it is very likely that he went directly to the North Rukongai or the South Rukongai. Going to the completely opposite West Rukongai is basically impossible.

Therefore, whenever Xia Yan arrives in a region, he sends people to scout certain key points to prevent the Grim Reaper from coming.

When Xia Yan finished exploring District 62, the criminal investigation team members gathered around him. Xia Yan waved and said, "Next."

A group of people walked through District 62 toward District 63, but between the two blocks lay a wasteland.

The moment they stepped onto the wasteland, a soft chant rang out, "Shoot him, Sharpshooter!"

As soon as the voice fell, a blade tip appeared in the chest of one of the executioners next to Xia Yan, and behind the executioner, a blade extended into the darkness in the distance.

Damn it!

Xia Yan turned around and drew his Zanpakuto. The blade flashed again, stabbing towards the second executioner.

But before the blade could touch the criminal investigators, Xia Yan stepped in front of them.

clang.

Xia Yan blocked the attack with his sword, looked at the figure that appeared in the distance, and softly uttered three words: "Ichimaru Gin".

The ability I just saw was Gin Ichimaru's Shikai Shinsho, which takes the form of a short sword with a blade that can extend a hundredfold and is extremely fast.

"what!"

Another scream rang out. Xia Yan turned his head and saw a brown-skinned man appear behind another executioner, his long knife piercing through one of the executioners.

"Tosen Kaname."

Xia Yan gritted his teeth and spat out those three words. How could Xia Yan not know what was going on when Ichimaru Gin and Tosen were coming here and going to carry out a massacre?

They were all Aizen's men. How could they have come to intercept and kill them at will without Aizen's orders?

The answer is obvious: Aizen wants to kill him, and he has sent two captains directly.

As Dongxian Yao flashed to the other executioner, Xia Yan's body roared and blue light burst forth. The next moment, Xia Yan appeared beside Dongxian Yao and slashed out with his sword.

Before Tosen is liberated, kill him first.

However, Tosen reacted quickly, using his Zanpakuto to deflect Natsuhiko's attack.

boom.

The immense force struck Tōsen Kaname backwards; Natsuhiko's power, amplified by the lightning bolt, far surpassed that of Tōsen Kaname.

But the next moment, Tosen called out softly, "Sing, you suimus!"

Xia Yan flashed behind Tosen Kaname, but the next moment, Tosen Kaname's long sword came at him again.

boom.

As Tosen was about to fly backward, Xia Yan pressed his advantage, but his ears were ringing and his body froze for a moment.

"Clear the insects with one move!"

This is the ability of Tosen Kaname's Zanpakuto. The spiritual pressure on the surface of the Zanpakuto trembles and emits a buzzing sound. It can release the restrictions on the Zanpakuto, and if it enters the ear where the spiritual pressure is low, it can hypnotize the other party.

Xia Yan's spiritual pressure was no less than that of Tosen Kaname, so the pause only lasted for a moment.

"I'll leave Tosen to you. I'll deal with these rabble first."

With that, Gin Ichimaru charged toward the executioners, flashing behind one of them. However, two other executioners pounced on him and attacked him.

Gin Ichimaru leaped backward, his divine spear suddenly extending and piercing through a combatant.

The other combat personnel dispersed, took out bombs, and surrounded Gin Ichimaru.

Gin Ichimaru smiled slightly, not caring at all, and gripped the divine spear in his hand tightly.
