With Offices for the Undead now established throughout Japan, it's only natural that such an important place Karakura Town would have one too, and this one had to be top-tier. The people in charge here are Kariya Jin and another Zanpakuto, Silence Mingmo.
The Shikai of the sword "Silence Mingmo"Silence is actually the ability of the first Soul Reaper that Jun slew; Jun has forgotten his name. Then, attempting to unlock the sword, Jun bestowed upon it the ability of silence—the silence skill from a game. Under the sword's suppression, people cannot mobilize Spiritual Power, and neither can Jun himself; it is a sword of the rules.
However, the rules aren't actually very strict. It's essentially banning all external skills, such as Kidō and Cero, but Shunpo and the like can still be used. Zanjutsu and Hakuda's Spiritual Power amplification are also fine.
The reason this knife was moved here is firstly because of her excellent personality. Although her ability is silence, she herself is not silent; she has a normal personality.
The sword's power is so strong that it can often prevent certain events from happening and give the user the upper hand in negotiations, since Quincy extremely weak in melee combat.
Furthermore, her ability allowed her to locate Urahara Shop. She drove around the entire Karakura Town, destroying the Barrier Kisuke Urahara had set up outside the Urahara Shop. She found Urahara and Yoruichi in a very violent way.
At this moment, only the Shopkeeper, the Kidō Chief Tessai Tsukabishi Yoruichi Shihōin, were present at Urahara Shop. Mingmo would call her that from now on. She quickly grabbed the cat and hugged it, stroking it a few times before smiling.
Why did Yoruichi turn into a cat?
These words immediately put all three of them on high alert, especially since Yoruichi was in the enemy's arms. Wasn't this a serious matter? Mingmo's personality was actually somewhat unpleasant, mainly due to his methods and attitude. Since this group of swords were all imitating Jun, this minor unpleasantness was unavoidable.
"Haha, alright~, don't mind it. We never intended to be hostile. We're here to give you a communicator and exchange phone numbers."
Kariya Jin tossed the communicator over, and the Shopkeeper caught it. It contained three small cubes. Akira smiled and flashed his Earrings, which were openwork incense balls—absolutely gorgeous Earring.
"Because we are not familiar with your aesthetics and preferences, we have given you the simplest design. Of course, you can also request a custom design from the Lord, which we will deliver to you next time we come."
On the other side, Kariya Jin had already finished recording the phone numbers with Tessai Tsukabishi. The main reason was that Kariya Jin had provided too many phone numbers; not only were there contact points in various locations, but also the phone numbers of several swords and Arrancar, as well as contact methods for needs involving first aid, assassination, and reconnaissance.
"How many people do you have?" The Shopkeeper's temples throbbed as he looked at the numerous phone numbers. "Are all of these Undead? And you even Materialized Zanpakuto like this?"
"There are other things, but since you don't know them, we can't say. We already stated our rules when Endless came before: if you want information, you must exchange something of equal value."
"Please wait a moment," the Shopkeeper said, rummaging around inside for a while before emerging with a doll and a pill. "This is my newly invented Mod Soul. Here's how to use it."
She stuffed the pill into the doll, and the doll came to life. Mingmo blushed slightly; she loved cute things, so she hugged the come-to-be doll to replace Yoruichi Cat.
"Hmm, this technology itself is a piece of information. Mod Soul, I understand. If you're willing to tell us how to manufacture the Mod Soul, we can also provide some of our own technological information in exchange."
"Oh my, oh my~", the Shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, "Your magnanimity is truly admirable. Very well, here is the manufacturing method for the Mod Soul."
"Hehe, our Lord has always greatly admired the Shopkeeper's vision and wisdom. Now, the Shopkeeper can choose the information they wish to learn and the technology they wish to acquire."
"You exist in several different forms, and I want the name of one of them."
Mingmo pouted, "Shopkeeper, you've given me two pieces of information, although there seems to be an additional element involved."
"Oh dear, look at my small business, can't you give us a break? Besides, you guys were the ones who forced us into this business, and you've already ruined my Barrier."
"Alright, we also have three other types of companions, one of whom is called Fullbringer. As compensation for destroying your Barrier, I'll tell you why Fullbringers appeared."
"The reason why Fullbringer is because one or both parents have survived being attacked by Hollows, and then their children are born with Spiritual Power."
"These children, who are born with Spiritual Power, may be stimulated, or they may have been born with powerful Spiritual Power and thus awakened it innately. In either case, their power is called Fullbring by the Lord, and therefore they are called Fullbringers."
Urahara tapped his hat. "I see. So your recent search for Substitute Soul Reaper and the establishment of contact points across the country is all to recruit Fullbringers, right?"
"Yes, that's exactly right."
"Oh dear, this is such a loss," the Shopkeeper, sounding a bit upset. "You've replaced my question with this newly emerged information. It's really unfair to our small business like this. It's so frustrating!"
"Hehe, Shopkeeper, you can choose the technology transfer you need. Of course, you can also exchange technology for information, but in that case, your technology transfer will need to be appraised by the master for the value of several pieces of information."
"Eh~? Tsk tsk," Urahara stroked his chin, "Technology transfer can only be exchanged for one technology transfer, but exchanging for information depends on the level of technology. Well then, I'll exchange the Mod Soul for a technology transfer. How many kinds of technology are in this little cube of yours?"
"There are three types: storage, absorption, and communication technologies."
"Oh my, storage? How much storage capacity does such a small thing have?"
"The full Spiritual Power of a Gillian- class being"
The Shopkeeper's eyes sharpened instantly, because the small square was only the size of a little fingertip, but he quickly composed himself. "Why use Gillian as the unit?"
"This is because it's relatively easy to quantify."
"I see. So your side also has influence in Hueco Mundo?"
"Huh? You figured it out already? As expected of the Shopkeeper!"
"Hmm~, so this is how Therapeutic Hot Spring is built. I think it's worth two technologies. But technology exchange can't be one-for-one, okay? Go back and discuss it with your lord?"
"Understood. Here are the research and development records and final results of the three technologies. Please..."
Kisuke Urahara stared blankly as Kariya Jin pulled a box of books from the trunk of the car. The entire process was recorded in modern books; each book was a million words long, and this box probably contained twenty million words.
"Why?" Because these records are very private, especially for scientific research. The Shopkeeper gave Jun the manufacturing methods for the Mod Soul and the Therapeutic Hot Spring. Jun could only know them, not the underlying principles. But if Jun gave these methods to Urahara, Urahara could not only manufacture them but also improve them, and Jun would no longer be needed.
"Because the Lord greatly admires your research abilities, Shopkeeper, and hopes to receive more interesting inventions and creations from you in the future."
"Tsk tsk~ This level of generosity is beyond my reach. I have two more gadgets here: this Flying Carpet can actually fly, and this is Portable Gigai. They're both toy-like things. In exchange, I'll exchange them for two pieces of intelligence."
Okay, go ahead and ask.
"Nothing else, what are the other two types of existence?"
"Of the other two types of companions, one is called the Arrancar, an evolved form of Hollow, a higher rank than Vasto Lorde."
Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi exchanged a glance. Yoruichi, startled, jumped onto the Shopkeeper's shoulder, her fur standing on end. However, Mingmo maintained a calm smile, waiting for them to process the information.
"Vasto Lorde's superior?"
"Hi~, that's right. Our lord has completed the catalytic method for Vasto Lorde- class Menos Grande, successfully increasing the Arrancar race. The Arrancar are also our ultimate trump card, hmm, one of them."
"One of them? Then the other one is the second one?" Even the Shopkeeper, who was quite capable, found it hard to accept. He coughed twice, "Please continue, I'm already prepared."
"Alright, then the last category is the Visored. They are Soul Reaper who have fused with the power of Hollows, broken free from the shackles of their Heart Demons, and successfully evolved into new beings. Master, you have named them Visored."
"You're the ones who are wrong about Aizen," the Shopkeeper shook his head.
Before he could continue speculating, Mingmo smiled and said, "We have no connection with Aizen, and we didn't do what happened in Soul Society a hundred years ago. Although we had the same outcome, our master's method is gentler than the Hōgyoku, and we are about to develop a process that can perfectly and without side effects Hollowfication."
"My God," Urahara, touching his temples, feeling quite shocked. "Thanks for letting me know, but you guys even know about the Hōgyoku?"
"Hi~, our lord possesses unfathomable wisdom, and his ability to predict the future is unparalleled. Our lord foresaw what Aizen would do long ago, and also knew about the dual nature of the Hōgyoku. Shopkeeper, you'd better be careful, your Hōgyoku has always been Aizen's target, it has never changed."
Thanks for reminding me.
"Then we'll take our leave."
"Wait a minute, is this guy Undead?"
Kariya Jin still didn't like the Soul Reaper, and frowned. "Exactly, is there something you need?"
"It's nothing, thank you."
Just after Mingmo and Kariya Jin left, the Shopkeeper glanced at Yoruichi on his shoulder and asked, "Do you remember that huge accident almost nine hundred years ago, at the Seireitei Research Institute, the predecessor of the Research and Development Institute? The one that Tachikawa Family?"
"Ah~, what's wrong?"
"This Undead seems to be a survivor of that accident; we even went out and killed some of them back then."
"Huh? They're different."
"They've been recruited and trained, and now they can control Spiritual Power. Wow, this force is Kongbu! And most of them are members who have grudges or are enemies of Soul Society. Their master is a Soul Reaper, and we don't even know who he is yet. Tsk tsk~"
Urahara pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "It shouldn't be like this. Could it really be him?"
"Who?" Yoruichi asked curiously.
"Of all the people I can think of, the most likely and the least likely is this person: Jun Shimizu!"
