Ryoka

The next twenty-odd days passed by uneventfully.

Over the better part of that month,

Lin Feng did little besides completing routine assignments.

He spent most of his time doing daily activities with Asai Reiko.

Ever since the young girl had become a seated officer of the Thirteenth Division,

her personality had grown increasingly cheerful.

She was becoming more and more popular with everyone.

One day,

an urgent alarm suddenly rang out in the barracks of the 10th Division patrol and security unit.

"Alert! Alert!"

"A distortion-surface reaction has been detected in the western outskirts of Seireitei!"

Upon hearing the alarm, Toshiro Hitsugaya, Captain of the 10th Division,

furrowed his brow.

"Ryoka have actually appeared?"

"Rangiku! Issue an alert immediately. Lead a team to investigate the western district yourself!"

"Yes, Captain!"

A distortion-surface reaction referred to the spatial reaction detected by the 12th Division whenever invaders illegally entered Soul Society through the Dangai.

As the patrol and security unit,

the 10th Division could not shirk its responsibility when facing Ryoka.

At that moment,

Lin Feng was leading a team on patrol within the Thirteenth Division's territory.

Just as Lin Feng and the others were about to finish their patrol,

Matsumoto Rangiku hurried through the Thirteenth Division's territory with a squad of Soul Reapers.

She raced toward the White Road Gate in the west.

Asai Reiko frowned slightly and asked, "Huh? Strange. Why is the Vice Captain of the 10th Division in such a hurry?"

"Rukongai District probably has some trouble again. That area falls under the 10th Division's jurisdiction," Kotetsu Kiyone said.

"Enough, don't worry about other divisions' business. Finish this last stretch quickly, then we'll head back and rest," Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng watched Matsumoto Rangiku's receding figure.

A thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Judging by the timing,
