A few days later, Siwei Yan once again stepped into the "research room" of Second Division Squad Barracks.
As soon as he opened the door, before he could see what new rags were added inside, a figure rushed over at an astonishing speed!
"Yan Si brother!"
Urahara Kisuke grabbed Yan Si's arm with both hands, and the force was so strong that Yan Si staggered.
I saw Urahara's eye circles were a little red under his messy hair.
"You're okay! That's great!" Urahara's voice was obviously trembling.
"I heard from the soldiers who came back that Great Hollow appeared on the Human World battlefield! That kind of monster... I'm really worried to death! I haven't been able to eat well and sleep well these days, so I'm afraid..."
Yan Si was stunned by this sudden "affection".
... and so on.
Something is wrong.
Urahara Kisuke: When did this guy become so "humane"?
Shouldn't he be squatting in the pile of parts, asking without raising his head, "Did you bring the money?" or "When will the new investment be received?"
Yan Si quickly calmed down, his stern face did not change at all, and he spoke calmly:
"Are you afraid that if I die, no one will continue to invest money in your "little invention"?"
"Hey?!" The "worry" on Urahara's face solidified instantly, his eyes unconsciously drifted to the design drawings scattered beside him, and the strength of his grip on his arm became looser.
"What are you talking about, Brother Yan Si? How can things like research funds be compared with your safety, Brother Yan Si! That's so foreign! Haha..."
He smiled dryly, but did not dare to look at Yan Si.
Yan Si didn't bother to expose his performance that was full of flaws, so he took out a flat wooden money box from his pocket and stuffed it into Urahara's hand.
"Okay, this month's royalties have been settled. As agreed, I will give you 40% first."
He paused and added, "The rest will be replenished to you during the settlement next month. I'm currently working on a new book, so I should earn more next month."
"Twenty thousand!" Urahara's eyes lit up instantly.
He snatched the money box and held it tightly in his arms, with a bright smile on his face.
"Yan Si brother is a real man! He keeps his word! He does what he says! So reliable!"
His eyes had begun to roll around, and he was muttering in a low voice:
"The latest model Reishi analyzer, Twelfth Division's new portable Senkaimon stabilizer, or stock up on more high-purity Killing intent stone powder...", obviously he is already making a shopping list.
Yan Si waited for him to calm down a little, then asked in a deep voice:
"My investment here is fine, but what about yours? How is the place I asked you to prepare going?"
When it came to business, Urahara calmed down his money-obsessed expression and showed a confident smile:
"The framework is basically set up, and the core "Reiatsu shielding" function is also debugged.
If Brother Yan Si needs an absolutely quiet writing environment that will not leak any Reiatsu fluctuations, you can put it to use immediately."
"Then let's go." Yan Si said concisely and to the point, turned around and walked out, "Just in time, I need to find a place to finish the first draft of the new book where I won't be disturbed."
"Okay! This way, please!" Urahara happily put the money box into his arms and walked quickly to the front to lead the way.
The two left Second Division Squad Barracks and walked through the complicated streets and alleys of Seireitei, gradually moving away from the main building complex.
Urahara is extremely familiar with the route. He specially chooses those secluded and uninhabited trails and makes many twists and turns to avoid several groups of patrols Shinigami who have fixed routes.
Finally, they arrived below Hill of the Twin Executions.
Urahara stopped in front of an inconspicuous-looking mountain rock wall covered with vines and moss.
"This is it." He pushed aside the thick vines, revealing a narrow natural rock crack at the back.
From the outside, this is just an ordinary gap in the mountain, not attracting any attention.
"Follow me and be careful where you step." Urahara took the lead and got in sideways, followed closely by Yan Si.
The interior of the crack was very dark at first, and you could barely see with the faint light coming from the entrance.
The passage zigzagged downwards, and after walking about a hundred meters, a steady and soft white light began to appear in front of it, and the air became dry and refreshing, with a bit of the coolness unique to rocks.
Following Urahara around the final corner, the vision suddenly opened up.
A huge natural rock cave appears.
The ceiling of the cave is very high and covered with strange stalactite-like structures. The rock wall above the entire cave seems to have turned into some kind of translucent luminous body, emitting light like the midday sun, clearly illuminating every corner of the cave.
The cave is extremely spacious and can accommodate thousands of people without being crowded. The ground is flat and has obviously been repaired.
"How's it going?" Urahara opened his arms and introduced proudly.
As long as the sealing mechanism at the entrance of the cave is activated, the place will be completely isolated from the outside world.
I added a specially treated "modified Killing intent stone" coating to the cave wall, which has an excellent isolation effect on Spiritual Power."
He raised his hand and pointed at the luminous dome, "Directly above is the base of Hill of the Twin Executions. The Reiatsu field there itself has a natural suppression and shielding effect on the lower part. Double insurance!
Even if you experiment here... well, if you carry out some "big noise" Spiritual Power activities, you definitely don't have to worry about being detected by the outside!"
He came closer to Yan Si and lowered his voice. "Brother Yan Si, this investment is definitely worth it! It's safe, private, and definitely meets your needs!"
Yan Si did not respond immediately.
He took steps and walked slowly in the cave, looking around.
The rock wall appears dark gray and feels cold and hard. You can indeed feel the faint blocking feeling of "Killing intent stone" on the flow of Reishi similar to the Seireitei wall.
When I looked up at the luminous dome, I could faintly feel the huge and condensed Reiatsu hanging faintly above. That should be the natural shielding field brought by Hill of the Twin Executions.
He was indeed very satisfied, it was better than he expected.
With this place, he finally doesn't have to be depressed all the time and can experiment and exercise his abilities more freely.
He turned and looked at Urahara:
"Killing intent stone is a strictly controlled strategic material, especially the high-purity product that can completely isolate Spiritual Power. Where did you get it? And did you "modify" it?"
Urahara scratched his messy hair and smiled:
"Well... our Lieutenant from Second Division is the owner of the Omaeda Clan.
Through the coordination of captain Yoruichi, it is still possible to apply for the purchase of a small amount of "experimental grade" materials in the name of "Second Division special equipment research and development needs".
Of course, "transformation" and specific application are my job."
Yan Si nodded and asked no more questions.
He believes that Urahara has the channels and capabilities. Yoruichi Shihōin plus Omaeda Clan will indeed have considerable power in terms of Nobles and material channels.
The reason why he did not hesitate to invest heavily in Urahara was not only because he valued Future's potential to deal with and even plan Aizen's "intelligence", but also because of the recent events that had happened to Soul Society, which made him smell a growing sense of uneasiness.
After Aizen graduated and entered Fifth Division, first there were abnormalities on the battlefield of Human World and Great Hollow, and then there were undercurrents inside Nobles, and conflicts became public.
The relatively stable days of the past few decades seem to be rapidly being broken, and a depressing feeling of impending rain hangs over Seireitei.
He must seize the time and become stronger faster.
This underground space is an important part of his plan.
Yan Si walked to the center of the cave, stopped, turned his back to Urahara, and sounded calmly:
"I'm going to start writing a book, so leave it to me for now."
"Ah, I understand!" Urahara understood immediately, without any hesitation, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"The switch is on the inner wall of the entrance. I have already set it up. Brother Yan Si, you can control it from inside. Please feel free to "create" and I won't disturb you!"
After saying that, his figure disappeared into the passage when he entered.
After a few seconds, there was a slight "click" sound of the machine, followed by the dull sound of rocks rubbing and moving.
The entrance was completely sealed, and contact with the outside world was temporarily cut off.
There was only Yan Si left in the cave, and the eternally bright "sky".
Yan Si did not act immediately.
He carefully scanned the entire cave again and found no obvious surveillance devices or traces of Reishi.
Of course, this does not mean that Urahara really has no backup plan.
With that guy's caution, he might be able to tell that there was something hidden in the crevices of some inconspicuous rocks.
But at this moment, there is no point in worrying about this. If he chooses to take the next step here, he has already taken some risks. Trust is always relative.
He took a deep breath, and the cool, dry air in the cave filled his lungs.
Then, he took out the manuscript and blank paper from his arms.
Opening up the manuscript, he sat down cross-legged, his eyes falling on the blank paper, and he fell into deep thought.
The story to be written next is very important.
It is not only related to the success or failure of the new book, but also related to whether he can take this opportunity to bring his Spiritual Power and understanding of "Tsuzurimono Bansho" to a critical level.
