Secret Base, Yan Si stood in front of an inconspicuous door, reaching out and pushing it open.
The door shaft made a sharp creaking sound, and a burst of cold air rushed out.
He walked straight towards the innermost part, his footsteps echoing in the empty room.
The cold is getting thicker and heavier.
He walked to the deepest part of the room, where a huge block of ice stood.
The ice cube is very large, taller than a person's head and wider than both arms, and completely transparent.
Under the dim light, there was a pale blue light, and there was a person sealed inside the ice cube.
It's Szayelaporro.
He closed his eyes, curled up, with a weird smile on his face.
Yan Si stared at the piece of ice, and then took out Spirit-Sealing Cloth from his cuff.
Unroll the cloth and wrap it around the ice cubes.
Circle twice... then put the ice cube on his shoulders. He closed his eyes slightly.
"Absolutely."
All Reishi converged, and there was no breath on his body.
He carried the ice and walked outside.
Research and Development Bureau.
Yan Si Pushed the door open, and the dazzling light hit my face. I couldn't help but close my eyes slightly.
After opening it again, I could clearly see the scene inside.
All the researchers looked back instantly, their eyes fixed on him, staring at the thing wrapped in cloth on his shoulder.
The air was quiet for a long time. It was not until they recognized that the person coming was Yan Si that those people breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and continued working.
Akon was not far away, holding a bottle in his hand, which contained an unknown medicine, ready to be thrown out at any time.
Yan Si asked with a gentle smile, "You are so nervous, what happened recently?"
Akon put the bottle in his hand back on the table, jumped off the stool and walked to Yan Si, bowing slightly. "Please forgive them for being unreasonable, Captain Yan Si."
He raised his head and sighed.
"The director has been very agitated recently and keeps saying that he can't find Wandenreich."
"When King of the Quincy unlocks the seal, we will all die, so everyone becomes very nervous."
He pointed to the ceiling, where the lights were very bright, and to the surrounding light bulbs.
"Our development bureau is already using shadowless lamps."
"But there are still shadows in some corners."
He looked at various locations with an ugly expression.
The gaps between the equipment, the corners behind the cabinets, and under the tables.
Even with shadowless lights, there will always be shadows in places with so many equipment.
Now, these shadows represent the enemy.
If Kurotsuchi Mayuri guessed correctly, those Quincy are hiding in these shadows. That is to say, they are all exposed to the enemy's attack range.
Yan Si was very surprised. "Have you actually thought of this step?"
"Hmph, do you think I am Urahara?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri walked out of the room.
He was dressed in strange decorations, his whole body was glowing, his clothes were white, there were lights on his hat, there were lights on his shoulders, and there were lights on his belt.
The whole person was so bright that it was almost blinding.
He walked directly to Yan Si, looked up at the piece of ice wrapped in cloth, raised the corners of his mouth, and began to say:
"The information you gave Kyōraku Shunsui at the beginning was about shadow."
"And the so-called there is another layer beyond Seireitei, which is an inference."
"Then put aside the inference and go back to what you saw with your ability in the first place."
"Isn't that what these things are?"
He pointed at the shadow next to a beaker. The shadow was so small and faint that it was almost invisible under the shadowless lamp. He sneered and said:
"There are indeed many Valley Spaces in Dangai, but it is impossible to overlap them with Soul Society." "A shadow is a shadow, and your ability is correct."
Yan Si nodded. Indeed, when he first looked for Kyōraku, he used the past of seeing Soul Society's items as an excuse, saying that there seemed to be something else in the shadows.
"But why did you suddenly think of the shadow?"
"Don't say it's simply trust in my abilities."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri grinned, but he closed his teeth. The golden teeth reflected the light, and not even a shadow could reach his mouth, and explained:
"It's very simple, because I installed Reishi monitoring in the captain's conference room."
"After our meeting that day, we discovered something was wrong with Shadow."
He turned around and walked to the central console, tapping his fingers on the keyboard.
After a while, a video appeared on the big screen.
This is the scene in the conference room that day.
After Court Security Guard Squad people left, the conference room was empty.
A shadow in the corner moved. The shadow twisted.
It's very short, just a moment.
Even if you look at it on the surveillance camera, you might think it was caused by the wind blowing the candle.
But in the eyes of Kurotsuchi Mayuri, this is the breakthrough.
He did not tell Urahara about this discovery, but closed the door for research in the Research and Development Bureau.
He retracted his fingers and looked at Yan Si and said:
"It seems like something happened today." He walked towards the inside, "Come on, let's go into the house."
Yan Si's brows twitched but he didn't say much.
Carrying the ice cubes, follow Kurotsuchi Mayuri into the back room.
The door is closed.
With a bang, he dropped the ice cube and hit it on the ground, making a dull sound.
Kurotsuchi Mayuri's eyes never left the piece of Spirit-Sealing Cloth. Of course he could see what it was.
Spirit-Sealing Cloth, something specially used to seal spiritual bodies.
Yan Si would not just wrap things with Spirit-Sealing Cloth and carry them over, so he became even more curious.
His fingers kept trembling and he asked excitedly:
"So what's going on today?"
He asked seemingly casually, but he had already begun to observe around Spirit-Sealing Cloth, trying to figure out what was inside.
Yan Si said bluntly, "I came to you this time just to exchange this thing for the Soul Jade in your hand. You should have more than one left."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri aimed his eyes at Yan Si: "Hoho." He let out a strange laugh, then stretched out two fingers and admitted:
"Indeed, I still have two more in my hand."
"But now it is difficult to obtain Soul Jade's materials."
"And the fact that you come to me to exchange it proves that what you have is not enough."
He twitched his lips and smiled, "A rare product like Soul Jade cannot be exchanged for anything." He pointed at the Spirit-Sealing Cloth and continued:
"No matter what you have sealed inside, is it comparable to two Soul Jade?"
Yan Si smiled gently:
"Soul Jade You have studied it thoroughly."
"What else does it mean for a scientist?"
"Here, the most advanced Great Hollow is sealed."
He looked into Kurotsuchi Mayuri's eyes.
"Vasto Lorde."
"The virtual end of tens of thousands of years of evolution."
"It's the guy who Academy said needs Royal Guard to deal with."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri's pupils were shaking crazily.
Vasto Lorde? The only Great Hollow he has ever seen is Gillian.
Those huge black guys wearing masks with long noses have never seen such a high-level virtual one.
And after the library opened, he saw it in the records.
There was once a high-level Great Hollow that invaded Seireitei and defeated all Captain-General Yamamoto at that time.
He rushed directly into the Royal Palace, and was finally killed by Squad Zero's people.
There is actually only Vasto Lorde here now.
Simply--
The corners of his mouth were grinning from ear to ear, and he was extremely excited.
Yan Si When he saw his appearance, he knew that he could do whatever he wanted, and said with a chuckle:
"This material is extremely precious. In exchange for the two Soul Jade in your hand that have been thoroughly studied."
"No problem?"
"I also paid a lot of price when I caught him." "By the way, this virtual Urahara Kisuke also knows about it."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri, who was originally thinking of bargaining, immediately fell down when he heard Urahara's name.
He roared and said:
"On that guy's level!"
"Giving it to him is a waste of material!"
He gritted his teeth and looked at Yan Si viciously, knowing full well that the other party was using these tricks to provoke him.
But there is no way, he will just do this!
He turned around and walked to the corner and clicked twice.
Bang, a countertop rose up, with a transparent Jars on it, and Jars was filled with liquid.
The liquid was transparent, but glowed with a strange white light. Put your hand in it.
Zizizizi! The sound rang out.
I saw white smoke floating from his hands, the skin of his arms was decomposing, and the flesh and blood was decomposing. Layer by layer, piece by piece.
Soon there were only bones left, white bones.
But Kurotsuchi Mayuri's expression didn't change at all.
He used his fingers with only bones left to pick up a transparent box, which contained exactly Soul Jade.
He threw it to Yan Si casually, and then tore off the right hand with only bones left.
There was a click.
There was no blood at the fracture, only fine pieces of Reishi scattered.
He grinned and said, "Is that okay now?"
Yan Si wrapped his palm with Reishi and caught the box.
But the liquid remaining on the surface of the box was still eroding Reishi, making a sizzling sound.
Those Reishi are consuming and melting.
It was not until five minutes later that Reishi consumed all the liquid. Yan Si looked at that Jars and said:
"This thing is pretty good. Can I give you some?"
From my perception just now, this thing is very complex in composition, and there seems to be a bit of imaginary power in it.
Kurotsuchi Mayuri waved his hand. "Oh, I can't give you this thing for the time being."
"The current output is not enough, I will send you two barrels in a while."
The name of this liquid is Spirit-Eroding Fluid.
The purpose of making it is not to prevent theft, but to prevent the location from being discovered.
This thing is much scarier than Spirit-Sealing Cloth and Killing intent stone.
Of course, it is also poison for Quincy.
Yan Si nodded. "Okay, then I'll leave this to you."
He paused and reminded:
"By the way, this guy's ability is parasitism." "Be careful when doing research."
He waved his hand and turned around to leave, leaving behind a word.
"Don't wait until I come over next time, Research and Development Bureau has been replaced."
With a bang, the door opened and he walked out directly.
Kurotsuchi Mayuri stood there, looking at the ice cube wrapped in cloth, grinning from the corners of his mouth to his ears.
"Ha, parasitism?"
"It's really interesting!"
The coat on his body shot out with golden light, making the whole room dazzling.
Then he let out a strange laugh and leaned towards Szayelaporro.
Yan Si left Research and Development Bureau and stood outside the door, looking in the direction of Court Security Guard Squad.
The third piece of the puzzle is almost complete.
