Kamakura? Engaku Temple?
These two place names, which were obviously not Soul Society style, immediately aroused Lin Nan's vigilance.
He was not familiar with this place name, but in his scattered memories, it seemed that some of the knowledge he had learned involved these two words.
Then, he suddenly realized that this Kamakura should be the Kamakura of the "Kamakura era".
The Kamakura era is the beginning of the Japanese shogunate era. If converted according to the timeline, Japan in World of the Living happens to be in this period at this moment. The Chinese dynasty in the same period should be the Southern Song Dynasty.
"This Serizawa has said [you Soul Society] several times, and also mentioned Kamakura. Could it be that he is from World of the Living?" Lin Nan thought with some suspicion.
He pretended not to understand, frowned and asked Serizawa Ryuichi:
"Kamakura? Where is that?"
"Oh, don't you Soul Society claim to be in charge of the undead in the world? If you don't even know the name of the place, how are you going to lead the undead here?"
Serizawa shook his hair slightly to make his sight less blocked, and looked at Lin Nan with a contemptuous smile.
"Or are you still not qualified enough and haven't been to our place?"
Lin Nan will naturally not be fooled by such an obvious irritation.
"Yeah, it's not good enough. Just blocking your attack with one knife is far from enough."
Serizawa stared hard, but he didn't expect that the young-looking boy in front of him would react so quickly and immediately hit him back verbally.
"Hmph, you react very quickly. I heard that everyone here can live for hundreds of years. Are you also a monster who is over a hundred years old?"
In World of the Living, although he Serizawa could not be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, he was at least a famous figure among the monk soldiers in the Kamakura area. He was not willing to be teased by a boy who looked like a boy.
"I'm sorry to bother you. I don't even know my age myself. But that's not the point." Lin Nan took two steps forward and came to Serizawa.
"If you have time to argue with me, you can think about it carefully. Do you want to regain your freedom?"
Serizawa said with some surprise, "You want to let me go? Aren't you here to kill me or covet my abilities?"
"I want to kill you. I could have killed you just now, so why bother talking to you so much."
Lin Nan stepped forward, picked up a knife from the ground, and cut off the ropes and chains on Serizawa's hands.
"They were really willing to go to great lengths to lock you up. The knife was even broken." Lin Nan glanced at the blade and threw the knife aside. "Why did they lock you so tightly? Are you really from now... uh, Kamakura?"
Serizawa, who had been hanging here for an unknown length of time, collapsed uncontrollably to the ground the moment he was released from the restraints. It took a long time to finally let his stiff body move.
"You must not know what my abilities are, otherwise you would definitely not let me go." Serizawa rubbed his still sore shoulders and said with a sullen face.
"There are so many people who dig holes for themselves. This is the first time I've seen you being so careless. Aren't you afraid that I'll regret it and just kill you with a sword? Are you still talking rubbish here?"
Lin Nan had a hard time describing Serizawa, and stared at his face angrily, "So, do you dare to tell me your abilities directly? Why did they catch you here from Kamakura?"
Serizawa tried to stand up from the ground. "I am the monk soldier commander of Kamakura Engaku Temple, and my ability is called [Mendicant Monk]."
"Mendicant Monk?"
"Copy the contents of my wooden bowl and exercise absolute control over the copied objects within ten steps of my body."
Lin Nan narrowed his eyes incomprehensibly. Copying things? With this ability, how many ingots of gold can be copied every day? Why don't you just treat people as gods and offer them to them?
"You lied to me, right? If you could do this, just throw money into the wooden bowl every day, why would you be a monk?"
"... The things copied from my wooden bowl are invisible to ordinary people. Most of the time, what I copy are props used to copy exorcisms."
After a simple conversation, Lin Nan gradually understood the other party's abilities.
The wooden bowl Serizawa Ryuichi mentioned was the prop he used for alms.
Any Reishi type of object touched by the inner wall of this wooden bowl can be directly copied by the wooden bowl into a new and identical object.
But this ability has a flaw, that is, it can only copy inanimate objects. That is, it can only use Reishi to reconstruct an object. For example, if you let it copy Ryujin Jakka, Serizawa can only copy the appearance of Asauchi, but cannot copy its abilities.
Lin Nan finds it incredible. This ability is different from the known abilities of Soul Reaper, Quincy and even Hollow.
Since the others are not, then there is only one possible identity for Serizawa - Fullbringer.
The rebels probably focused on his copying ability and captured him here to ensure the production of Reishi-Gathering Pill.
"It's too dangerous here, and there are two people watching outside the yard. If we stay too long, they might notice something unusual and attract pursuers."
Lin Nan reached out and pulled Serizawa Ryuichi. Serizawa stood up staggeringly and looked at Lin Nan with some confusion. "Do you really want to help me?"
Lun Nan looked at the guy in front of him with some humor. "You are really suspicious. I have let you go, why are you still suspicious?"
"Because I have been deceived too many times by your people." Serizawa gently rubbed his legs that were feeling weak, "What should I do next?"
Lin Nan rolled his eyes and asked, "Are there any other people with abilities like you who have been caught Soul Society?"
Serizawa shook his head. "I don't know. At least I haven't seen anyone else."
Lin Nan hummed slightly. Now Soul Society is busy with the civil war and should have no time to take care of World of the Living's Fullbringer. Even the word Fullbring may not have been coined yet.
Then Serizawa was probably the first Fullbringer captured by Soul Society. Lin Nan looked at the unkempt Serizawa, and suddenly felt the urge to protect him.
Maybe this is the first person from World of the Living that I have seen since traveling through time. Or maybe deep down in my heart, I still have a little nostalgia for the real world I once lived in.
I have to find a way to hide Serizawa.
Lin Nan led the way and led Serizawa carefully to the ground. He concealed his spiritual pressure and easily solved the two rebel elites on guard from behind.
"You are young, but you are very decisive in your actions. He is a good seedling!" Serizawa held his wooden bowl in one hand and gave a thumbs up to Lin Nan with the other hand.
What he is engaged in at World of the Living is to fight and kill to expand his territory. Killing the enemy is the first priority. Therefore, he admires Lin Nan's fighting style and feels that it coincides with his own fighting philosophy.
Lin Nan shook off the blood on the knife and looked at Serizawa speechlessly. "Don't rely on your old age to act like one. Clean yourself up first when you have time!"
After confirming that there was no danger around, Serizawa washed his face in the pond in the courtyard and straightened his messy hair. Only then did Lin Nan see his true face.
He is about thirty years old. On his chiseled face, his slightly fierce eyes unconsciously exude a hint of fierceness;
His slightly dark skin and beard as thick as a steel needle made him look fierce.
"What's wrong? Did seeing my face scare you?" Serizawa stared at Lin Nan with some pride. He has led monk soldiers all year round and has lived in fighting and killing for many years, so he is quite confident in his impressive appearance.
The handsome young man in front of him kept staring at him, and he must have been shocked by his appearance.
"That's not true. I've seen a lot of people who are more fierce and more powerful than you. But you can be regarded as the ugliest." Lin Nan shook his head and said sincerely, "I think your hair looks better when it blocks your face."
"..."
Seeing that it was already late at night, we had to find a place for Serizawa to hide as soon as possible.
Lin Nan The first place that comes to mind is the renovated Gen Private School. There are no outsiders there on weekdays, and there is only one steward who takes care of the yard.
But it is too far away from South Rukongai, and the journey takes too long. After much deliberation, we can only take him back to Senjumaru and hide him temporarily.
"I'll take you to a place to hide temporarily. But you must remember not to show your abilities there, and don't easily think about activating your abilities. Remember!"
Lin Nan started Shunpo, carrying the weak Serizawa and running towards Stealth Force's house, while giving instructions very seriously.
There are two people in Senjumaru's laboratory who love to invent and create, and one of them will be an anatomy madman in the future.
He was really afraid that Serizawa, a reckless man, might arouse the interest of those two people and accidentally be sliced into pieces for study.
