Chapter 4: Flower of the Rabbit
Chapter 4: Flower of the Rabbit (New book, please collect it)
shhhhh--
Several figures landed on the street. The leading woman leaned over to check on the soldiers, then shook her head, "There are still survivors ahead."
The woman who was speaking was wearing a haori with a gray cherry lining. She had a gentle and peaceful appearance, and had long black hair parted in the middle, which was tied into a braid and hung down in front.
She stood up and looked into the distance, her tone slightly lamenting, "This place is still as messy as ever."
The young Shinigami from the Fourth Division who were following the girl were puzzled. Why did their captain look so familiar with this outermost Rukongai?
However, the woman said nothing more and just led the team to run.
The 4th Division serves as the medical support force for the Gotei 13. Normally, as the team leader, Unohana rarely goes out. She usually stays in the division barracks to deal with seriously injured patients sent in by other divisions.
This time she had just returned after completing a special mission, and unexpectedly encountered a soldier from the Fifth Division asking for help on the way.
When Unohana and several team members jumped onto a roof, they stopped and looked at the scene below with a bit of fluctuation in their eyes.
There was some surprise in the eyes of the other team members. The signal for help had been cut off a few minutes ago. They guessed that when they arrived, they would probably just be collecting bodies.
The subsequent pursuit of the rebels would not be done by their Fourth Division, but by other divisions that are good at fighting, such as the Second Division or the Eleventh Division.
But the situation at the scene was a little confusing for them, because the rebels in the intelligence were already lying in a pool of blood, and the one still standing was not a soldier from the Fifth Division, but a refugee holding a shallow-sword.
On the street, ten rebel bodies were lying in a mess. The man standing in the middle was dressed in tattered clothes. The sword in his hand passed across the side of his face, shaving off the last bit of his beard.
Who would calmly shave while standing among a pile of corpses?
Under the scorching sun, the man with a masculine and handsome face sheathed the knife in his hand, raised his head to look at the figures standing on the roof, and gave what he considered to be a friendly smile.
At that moment, several soldiers from the Fourth Squad felt an inexplicable chill; this scene was truly too strange.
Unohana leaped down, her white feathers spread out like butterfly wings, and she landed softly and silently. She had a warm smile on her face and squinted her eyes at Lu Li.
Lu Li's smile gradually disappeared as he was being stared at. For the first time in a long time, he felt the real threat of death.
It was not the feeling of having a gun pointed at your head, but real murderous intent, like the suffocating feeling of a living being crushing you with absolutely powerful force.
Yes, this is the power he pursues, and this is the world he pursues.
Those rebels who were not very skilled and strong only warmed his body a little, but failed to make him feel the joy of fighting.
But this feeling of disappointment did not last long, as the woman in front of him dispelled it. He had just arrived in this world, and there was no telling how many mountains he had to climb, and there would surely be countless interesting battles.
Just as the End Space said, he will encounter unprecedented challenges.
"What's your name?"
As Unohana spoke, the solemn atmosphere disappeared and the smile on her face showed true tenderness.
"Land from."
Lu Li answered simply that he had no intention of coming up with a pseudonym to suit the naming habits of the people here.
Through the pressure the person in front of him gave him, as well as the other person's appearance and attire, he could roughly determine that the other person was the captain of the Fourth Division, Unohana Retsu (Yachiryu) in the original work.
And he can roughly know the timeline he is in. Since Unohana is already the captain of the Fourth Division, it means that Yhwach is already asleep.
As for how long before the main story of the original novel begins, we can only confirm it after obtaining more information.
"Lu Li, did you kill these people?" Mao Zhihua looked at the corpses on the ground and asked.
"Death was killed by these guys. I was just protecting myself."
Lu Li said honestly that he didn't want to cause any misunderstanding. He was eager to fight to his heart's content, but he didn't want to seek death, especially now that he had finally come to such an interesting place.
Unohana nodded and easily accepted Lu Li's answer, as if she was not surprised that a refugee could kill ten rebels that even ordinary Gotei soldiers could not deal with.
"Would you like to join the Gotei 13?"
The soldiers following Unohana were a little surprised. They didn't expect the captain to invite Lu Li. And he didn't invite Lu Li to join the Fourth Division, but the 'Gotei 13'.
If the captain was impressed by Lu Li's talent, then he should have invited him to join the fourth team, right?
"The Gotei Thirteen?"
Lu Li was stunned. He didn't expect that the first part of his main task could be completed so easily. Now it seemed that he only needed to nod his head.
"If you want."
Unohana smiled and nodded, "Of course, according to the rules, you still have to enter the Shinō Spiritual Academy for further study first, and you can join the Gotei 13 after you graduate."
Lu Li pretended to think, then nodded.
He roughly knew what the difficulty range of the mission was. If there was a God's perspective in the End Space, then the route he was taking now to complete the mission was actually the simple route.
Because after the actual combat he found that the comprehensive attributes of the ten rebels were even lower than his own, and their fighting skills were even more incomparable. He killed ten rebels without even getting his clothes dirty.
On the contrary, if I leave this area and travel through Rukongai alone, there is a greater possibility of encountering accidents. Moreover, if I follow the normal process, it is still unknown whether the Maou Spiritual Academy will accept me.
Now that I have Unohana's recommendation, there will be no problem getting admitted.
"Then let's go, we're just on our way back."
Unohana said as she glanced at the shallow sword in Lu Li's hand, "You can take this shallow sword."
The soldiers were not surprised at Unohana's arrangement for Asauchi, as Asauchi himself was a Zanpakutō that had not yet 'recognized its master'.
Before the master calls out its true name and releases the Shikai, the Asauchi itself does not have any special abilities and is just a sharper knife.
After the death of the god of death, the Zanpakutō will usually be "restored to factory settings" and become a shallow sword, at which time it can be "rebound" by others. (Of course, there are also accidents, which will not be discussed for now)
Therefore, Seireitei usually recycles ownerless Asaurus and sends them to students of the Maou Academy for redevelopment. As long as the Asaurus is still circulating within the Seireitei system, no one will specifically intervene.
Now that Lu Li has obtained this shallow-blade sword, he will no longer be given one when he enters school.
Lu Li hung the Asada around his waist and followed Unohana and the others. The follow-up of the events here had nothing to do with them anymore, so naturally other teams would handle it.
He was just a little excited inside. As a martial arts master, he was very interested in all the extraordinary fighting skills in this world.
Compared to the return reward after completing the task described in the contract, he now has higher expectations for the technology that he can learn directly in the world.
And the shallow strike he just obtained is, in a sense, also a piece of equipment that can be called a divine weapon.
Now that you have read this far, why not add it to your collection for investment? (*^▽^*)
