I’m really not the number one salt fish in Soul Society

At work, there will always be a moment when you can’t help yourself.

It might be sudden overtime work, it might be arrears of wages, or it might be an inexplicable scapegoat on your head – life is like this, in order to make a living, there will always be some hurdles that cannot be avoided. Stumble and die here.

And the hurdle that belonged to the forty-two finally came to him.

Forty-Two was born in the 57th District of Nishi Rukongai. He has no name. He was valued by the Shifengin family because of his talent when he was still babbling. He was brought to the Seireitei as a secret mobile”criminal army”. He was trained as a reserve force, and because he was ranked 42nd among the trainees in the same period, others always called him that.

To be honest, Forty-Two is a very talented person. In less than fifty years, he has become a master in his own right. All the tasks he handles are completed with a high degree of success. He has almost never made any mistakes since his debut. , if the girl from the Bee family hadn’t appeared out of nowhere, he should have become one of Si Fengyuan Ye Yi’s personal guards.

But even so, he still received the most generous treatment among the students in the same period.

Although the private soldiers are not like the serious members of the Gotei 13 who can eat and drink freely with their wages, the equipment supplies, medical services and combat guidance are not ambiguous, and almost all are handled according to the highest standards. , and there is always more, and there will never be any arrears.

However all this comes at a cost.

Having outstanding abilities means you can take on more dangerous tasks.

Such as this time.

The superiors requested that Yashin Watanabe, the fifth member of Division 8, be knocked unconscious and taken to the 42nd District of Minami Rukongai. The specific methods were all performed by the executor on the spot. The only requirement was that his identity should not be revealed even if he died.

Yama Watanabe.

The Gotei 13 are known as being good at helping others.

Because his special ability can help people avoid thunder, many team members owe him a favor and are waiting for an opportunity to repay it.

In addition, because he has experienced some terrible things recently, even the captain of the eighth division, Kyoraku Shunsui, who has never left, is very concerned about him, and has asked other captains to take care of him many times in high-level meetings.

In this case, Forty-Two had to bring someone to knock him out and take him away.

Not to assassinate, but to knock him unconscious and take him away.

It is said that it is because Watanabe Yashin is currently active outside as a”clone”, and only by knocking him out quickly can we ensure that the information is not leaked.

How should I put it, the moment he read the mission briefing, Forty-Two had already thought about the font he should use for his suicide note.

Considering that I had no relatives and no connection, it would be useless to write something like a suicide note, so I invalidated it.

It is impossible to run away. If the mission is a narrow escape, running away will not even have a chance of survival, and the death will be very creative – the stealthy and mobile interrogators will be happy to send the traitor away Worked as an experimental material in the Technology Development Bureau.

But how to implement it?

After what happened four days ago, Watanabe Yashin never stepped out of Seireitei again, and he almost never left alone.

And even if you think about it with your toes, you can understand that Kyoryu Shunsui must have arranged a lot of protective measures around that guy.

There might be captain-level figures lurking in the dark.

There is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. It seems that no matter which way you go, you will be dead.

Forty-two is a very realistic person. Although he is very grateful to the Sifengyuan family for raising him, it is absolutely impossible to take his life.

How can you live with a salary of several hundred yuan a month? He is not one of those colleagues who were brainwashed by the so-called righteousness of Sifengyuan, nor is he like the girls from the Bee family who worship the former captain as a god. In the final analysis, he just wants to be a normal person, so how should he survive now? ?

After thinking for a long time, Forty-Two came up with a brilliant idea

“How about it? Has Watanabe Yasuma come out of the team building?”

“The target left the Eighth Division team building two minutes ago and is now heading towards Central Avenue.”A subordinate half-knelt in front of Forty-Two and reported:”There are no escorts around the target, and it is the time for the search team to change shifts. The security will be slightly weaker. If we don’t take action now, I’m afraid it will be over. It’s hard to find another chance”

“you’re right……”

Forty-Two pondered for a while, then patted his subordinates on the shoulders, and said in a deep voice:”Let’s do this, you tell the brothers to retreat further and hibernate for the time being – let me handle Watanabe Yashin’s side, you Just wait and see the situation from a distance. If I don’t send a signal within three minutes, or if the spiritual pressure disappears, you can retreat directly with your brothers and go back to report to the head of the family.” There was hesitation on the man’s face:” this……？”

“Needless to say.”Forty-Two asserted,”It is impossible that there is no defense force around Watanabe Yazhen now, but we know nothing about it. Instead of letting you test it with your lives, it is better to let me take the lead – if I… If you don’t go back, you will have an excuse to ask the higher ups to cancel the mission or replace them with stronger people. No matter how you look at it, it is better than the annihilation of the sixteen people.”

After saying these awe-inspiring words, even Forty-Two himself almost believed it.

“Team leader… we will definitely fulfill our mission!”

The men kowtowed to Forty-Two with tears in their eyes, and then turned back three times to leave.

And Forty-Two also started his own actions.

With the help of the shadow of the building, he touched the streets little by little. Got up behind Yama Watanabe, who was walking leisurely.

Then he heard a subtle sound coming from behind.

“This friend.”A mellow middle-aged male voice sounded without warning from behind Forty-Two,”What are you planning to do?”

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a coquettish flowered coat, and cold sweat suddenly fell like rain on Forty-Two’s forehead.

It was Jingraku Spring Water!

Forty-Two felt like he was in cardiopulmonary arrest!

“Captain of the Kyōband, you expected that someone would attack Watanabe Five Seats.”

Another old male voice sounded from the left rear of Forty-

Two. Forty-Two suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest for the second time!

This voice was very familiar to him!

It was Kuchiki Ginrei, the current head of the Kuchiki family and one of the veteran captains!

No wonder Wataru… There were no guards around Bian Mizhen. It turned out that the two captains were hiding in the dark!

Desperate situation, desperate situation!

If I don’t have to use that move again, I’m afraid there will be no chance to use it again…

So Shiliu swallowed Spit, after confirming that there was no one else around, he used all his strength to perform a fierce tiger floor-to-ground earth seat!

“I surrender!”

He shouted in a very sincere voice:”Don’t kill me!”

Mizhen:”？”

Spring water:”？”

Kuchiki Silver Ridge:”？”

The three of them looked at each other and it was obvious that they were all fooled.

“this……”

Chun Shui was stunned for half a second, and then he immediately rushed forward like a whirlwind, picked up the mysterious man who was kneeling on the ground, and knocked him out with two punches to eliminate the possibility of any accident.

Mizhen followed closely behind, reached out and opened the mouth of the mysterious man. After confirming that there was no poison or anything like that inside, he released two rounds of binding on the guy’s hands and feet, and then removed it from his sleeves. He pulled out a short scarf, rolled it into a ball and used it as a gag.

After watching nervously for a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this guy’s head didn’t explode.

At this point in time, no stranger should dare to come and make such a joke with him. The only reliable explanation is that this guy was sent by the Sifengyuan family… an assassin?

But how could there be an assassin with such a unique style in the world?

Mo…is there some conspiracy?

Even with Mizhen’s broad mind, there is really no way to figure out the causes and consequences of this weird thing in a short time.

So the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and he asked the two captains present with his eyes for instructions:”Two captains… what should we do…?”

Chun Shui, who had obviously never seen such a battle, thought for a moment, and then confirmed After realizing that this mysterious man was indeed tightly restrained, he motioned for Yazhen to take care of him for a while while he and Kuchiki Ginrei stepped aside to discuss.

“Captain Kuchiki, do you have any clues?”

“This guy’s skills are very good, and he’s very organized. He doesn’t look like he’s from a wild background.”Kuchiki Ginling coughed dryly,”I have a few suspects, but no matter where he comes from, it is not convenient for the Kuchiki family to directly intervene.——”

“Is this so?”Chun Shui nodded understandingly, and then whispered,”In that case, leave it to us.”

The two veteran captains said a few more innocuous polite words, and then dispersed. Kuchiki Ginling disappeared in an instant, while Shunshui returned to Mizhen and said to him:”Take this Take them with you, let’s go back to the team building for now.”

Mizhen shrugged:”Okay.”

……………………………………

A few minutes later.

A burst of electricity passed directly from Forty-Two’s Tianling Gai to the soles of his feet, waking him up from a coma.

He opened his eyes and saw that he was sitting in an ordinary reception room.

His hands and feet were bound by some kind of ghost, unable to move, and his mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth, unable to make any sound.

Captain Kyoraku Shunsui of the eighth division and Yama Watanabe, the fifth seat of the eighth division, were whispering something on the other side of the room. Although they couldn’t hear clearly, Forty-Two always felt a bit cold on the back of his head.

“Captain, so now… is the interrogation session?”

Mizhen, who had just woken up the person with a low-power white thunder, asked Chunshui in a low voice:”Do you need me to get some tools, such as candles and whips?”

“Those things don’t sound like they would be used for interrogation.……”

The corners of Shunshui’s mouth twitched twice and he said:”Mizhen, the hint given by Captain Kuchiki just now is already very obvious. This guy is from a large organization – this condition alone is enough to shorten the list of suspects. Very small”

“Which noble family is it?……”

Mizhen sighed:”To attack me at this time, the method is still secret. No matter how you think about it, there are only four……”

“Just know it and don’t say it. Shunsui coughed dryly,”So Captain Kuchiki cannot interfere in this matter, and we have to pretend not to know – do you understand?” He’s just a simple thief”

“Appropriate.”

Mizhen nodded, and then said:”Let me ask – although I am not very skilled yet, I once learned two techniques of lie detection in a book.”

“good.”

Chun Shui nodded, stepped aside, and assumed the attitude of a bystander.

Mizhen:”……”

In recent years, Chun Shui has been consciously letting him take the lead in doing things like this.

The meaning is obvious, just to subtly guide him to become a person who can take the lead.

Although it is a bit unethical to say this, the Eighth Division has indeed been short of talents in recent years. Shunshui and Lisa are the main pillars, and Mizhen is basically the only junior who can help… As for the three seats and four seats, It’s not that they don’t work hard, it’s just that their limited abilities are a sad thing no matter where they go. I really can’t blame them if they can’t be put to use.

Now that Lisa has passed away to this world, if he wanted to, Chun Shui could take him to Room 46 to go through the promotion procedures that day.

Then there is a mountain of work that piles on top of me.

That would be a bit scary.

It’s okay to work overtime occasionally, but if overtime is a regular thing, it will basically kill him.

So Nanao, grow up quickly…

After thinking about it, Yizhen took two steps forward, pulled out the short scarf from Forty-Two’s mouth, threw it aside, and then used one hand to Pressing on his head, he said to him calmly:”Let me ask you an answer, if you lie more than twice, I will immediately make your brain boil like boiling water. Do you understand?” As he spoke, he asked A faint blue light lit up in his eyes.

It is impossible to enter other people’s mental world by using the psychic beacon at a lower power, but this usage also has the ability to enhance emotional perception – in layman’s terms, it can detect lies.

Of course, this ability cannot work on everyone. If the target’s spiritual pressure is higher than Yizhen, he will naturally be unable to do anything.

Unless that person is willing to relax and let him peep at will.

Forty-Two nodded at first, but his expression immediately became firmer:”I can tell you everything I know, but you must promise to ensure my safety, otherwise I won’t tell you even if I die.”

Mi real:”……”

If Chunshui hadn’t been watching from the side, he would have wanted to turn on all the psychic beacons right now and tell this guy why the flowers were so red.

“That depends on whether the information you provide is valuable.”Mizhen said indifferently,”If so, my captain can let you change your appearance and start a new life in a place where no one knows you.”

Probably because the Eighth Division has always had a good reputation for being kind to others, Forty-Two did not say anything more, but simply nodded and said:”I don’t have any questions, you can ask.”

“Name?”

“Forty-two”

“Where did it come from?”

“Stealth Mobile’Xingjun’”

“really……”Mizhen sighed,”What’s the purpose?”

“Knock Watanabe Yashin unconscious and take him to the 42nd District of Minami Rukongai within three days – by the way, today is the second day.”

Mizhen:”？！”

Hey hey hey, why did you say it directly?

Shouldn’t this kind of thing be kept secret at all levels? Why did this guy with a fishy face reveal the location of Sifengyuan Baiyue as soon as he opened his mouth?

Then why did I run so hard to find Urahara and the others last night?

But if you think about it carefully, it seems right. The Sifengyuan family is really short of manpower these days, and it is really unlikely that they will engage in any more subcontracting.

“Why do this?”

“Not sure, I’m only responsible for executing orders”

“Who gave the order?”

“The deputy commander of the Criminal Army.”

Mizhen turned around and exchanged a look with Chun Shui.

So far, this guy hasn’t lied.

“According to the rules, people in the criminal army should put life and death aside. How could you want to surrender when you see us?”

“That’s prejudice.”Forty-Two sighed,”I’m not a fool. Why should I work hard on such a task that is almost equivalent to losing my life? After much deliberation, the only option with a higher chance of survival was to surrender directly to you, so I naturally chose that.”

“……”The corners of Mizhen’s mouth twitched twice,”Then you are really… realistic.”

There was no sign of lying in this sentence.

But this friend’s reaction was too decisive. The so-called embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant nest. This wave of workers who were running away with buckets in their nobility’s grand plan was the ultimate in black humor.

But as a result, his plan had to be changed again. The original idea was to go to Shifengyuan Hyakusuki’s hiding place to explore, and after clarifying the situation, he would drag Aizen and Shikatori Baunsai together to violently He beat her until she was willing to explain why she wanted to accept the power of the Spirit King.

Although this plan is a little rough, it shouldn’t be too difficult to implement – after all, there should be something wrong with Shifengyuan Baiyue’s mental state. There is probably no way to escape with words, but fists don’t care whether you are crazy or not. If it doesn’t work, just use the psychic beacon after you have one breath left.

However, such a god appeared on the way, which not only directly destroyed part of the arrangement of the Sifengyuan family, but also disturbed his good deeds.

Now that Shunsui knows that there is a problem in the 42nd District of Minami Rukongai, he will definitely ask someone or go there to investigate in person. Once he investigates, he will definitely find the barrier, and maybe he will directly conflict with Shifengin Baiyue.

In this way, it will be difficult for him to play the senior card and the Aizen card. This will be really troublesome… I didn’t expect to be defeated in such a strange place. Things are unpredictable…

Yizhen raised his hand and rubbed it Between his eyebrows, he began to think quickly about the solution.

Of course, he was not idle and asked all the questions he could think of.

After confirming that the other party was telling the truth, he punched Cheng Yaojin unconscious, and went back to talk to Chun Shui.

“No need to ask, it’s all true.

Mizhen spoke first:”Captain, what should we do now?” Send someone to explore the place he mentioned?”

“Don’t worry yet……”

Chunsui sighed heavily and said:”Don’t worry…it seems that the water behind this matter is very deep…let’s do it, Yizhen, you go to the Fourth Division team building now, just say…go Visiting Broken Bee.”

Mizhen said doubtfully,”Huh?”

“I’m going to go find Old Man Shan and Ukitake to discuss how to deal with this. I don’t have time to look after you anymore. Chun Shui said with a solemn expression,”So the safest place for you now is the Fourth Division team building. As long as you stay there, no one will dare to touch you.””
