Shutara Senjumaru stared blankly at the little pill, speechless for a long time. Even the bone hand behind him seemed to have lost its life and slowly hung down.
She never believed, or even imagined, that such an object Soul Society could really exist. That's why her suspicion of Lin Nan was so thorough.
At this moment, in her eyes, everything in the world disappeared except for the shining round object in front of her.
"Shutara squad leader?" Lin Nan looked at Senjumaru quietly as if she was in trance, and softly called her name.
Senjumaru woke up from a dream and raised his head. He found that all the eyes in the whole room were focused on him.
"So, it seems that Lin Nan is really innocent?" Yota looked at her and frowned in confusion, "This medicine is very unusual, isn't it?"
He doesn't understand things like potions, but he understands Senjumaru.
In his memory, Shutara Senjumaru has always been confident, naughty, and a little... well, actually very arrogant.
However, she had never been so lost in thought.
Senjumaru said nothing, just nodded slightly, and turned her eyes back to the small pill in her palm. Although she didn't say a word, her expression said everything.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes suddenly turned from the pills in her palm to Lin Nan, looking at the other party with expectation:
"Are you interested in joining Stealth Force?! I can give you a team leader, the management team or the intelligence team, you can choose as you like!"
After hearing Senjumaru's invitation, Lin Nan did not comment, but took a few steps forward without hesitation, and picked up Spirit-Gathering Pill from Senjumaru's hand with a stern face.
"The free viewing is over. Captain Shutara, it seems that this is not what you should say to me."
Senjumaru's eyes no longer have the original arrogance and contempt, but instead have a bit more sincerity and desire:
"I'm serious. Since you can make this kind of medicine, it shows that your talent is very strong! As long as you can join Stealth Force, we can do research together."
Lin Nan stared into her eyes and said expressionlessly, "That's not it."
"Although I don't understand the reason yet, why do I feel that every captain sees Lin Nan and praises his talent?" Kyoraku whispered to Ukitake:
"And what exactly did you go through this time? I always feel that this guy has a lot more murderous intent."
Ukitake replied softly, "Of course it's serious. He killed so many people before he could save me. If he didn't have murderous intent, I would have died long ago."
Senjumaru closed his eyes, adjusted his emotions, and looked at Lin Nan with a serious face. "Okay. I apologize to you for the contempt and slander just now."
Lin Nan looked directly into Senjumaru's pupils, as if he wanted to see through the other party's thoughts through those phoenix eyes. "I accept the apology. Are you going to find a way to get me to join your team, or find a way to get the formula of this medicine?"
Let me tell you the truth. First, I am planning to join 8th Division after graduation. Second, I am a casual person and I don't have the patience to sit around and do research. So I can only say sorry for your suggestion.
Moreover, because I don't want to get involved in too many things, I will not disclose the detailed information about this medicine. You don't have to worry about it. It's useless to try to put pressure on me through Captain-Commander or Central 46. As long as I don't take out the physical object, no one can prove the existence of this thing."
Senjumaru This was the first time that one person had suppressed her in debate, scientific research and combat skills at the same time. Her face was pale and she just stood there, her four skeletal hands hanging feebly to the ground.
She listened to Lin Nan's speech quietly, staring at his face, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I've finished my words. If you still want to know any details about the battle with the rebels that day, we can add them now; if not, then I have to leave."
Lin Nan held the small pill and gently closed his palm. When he opened it again, the pill was gone.
Yota has been looking dumbfounded ever since he asked Senjumaru a question. This is the first time he has seen Senjumaru lose in such a civilized competition.
Senjumaru, who was once so arrogant in front of me, is finally defeated!
Lin Nan saw that Senjumaru had been silent, so he waved his hand to Senjumaru: "Then we will leave. Before I leave, I will give you a message: Weakness and short-sightedness are not obstacles to becoming stronger, arrogance is."
After saying that, he didn't look back and walked away with the other three people. Senjumaru was left there, staring blankly at a few people leaving.
Yota looked back at the silent Senjumaru, then looked back at Lin Nan, and whispered, "No, you can actually make Senjumaru speechless? I really admire you today."
"It's not my fault. I'm here to do business. She provoked me first."
"But, is it really okay to just leave her there like this?" Yota still feels a little sorry for Senjumaru, who is like a biological sister.
"You're confused! Doesn't this count as revenge for you today? Just tell me whether you're happy or not?"
Yota rolled his eyes and nodded. "It's really cool!"
"The details of the battle have been shared, and there is nothing more to do with me." Lin Nan and Yota said goodbye, and returned to the Spirit Arts Academy with Ukitake and Kyoraku.
Spirit Arts Academy has begun to resume classes. However, because Rukongai has lost too many students and staff from all grades, Spirit Arts Academy is now filled with a sad atmosphere from top to bottom.
For many people, the farewell in front of the Spirit Arts Academy gate is the last time they see each other in this life.
Lin Nan feels very lucky to be able to see Amamiya Keiji again in the Spirit Arts Academy. He knows how much Amemiya's fighting level is. Being able to escape Rukongai's death can be regarded as the smoke rising from Amamiya House's ancestral grave.
But what is surprising is that the president of the Noble Rights Protection Association, Omaeda Marechiyo, also came back intact.
"This guy's life is surprisingly good!" Lin Nan sighed, thinking of Marechiyo Omaeda's square face.
He and Amamiya Keiji made an appointment in advance to meet at a secluded place on campus. Although the investigators of Court Guard Squad have withdrawn, the investigation into the missing case of Zanpakuto has not yet ended.
"You seem quite happy today?" Amemiya walked over from a distance, looked at Lin Nan's relaxed face, and asked a little curiously.
"It's nothing, just a slap in the face of a proud person. How did you survive in Rukongai?"
"Uh, this..." Amemiya's face was a little red,
"That night, our stronghold was also attacked by men in black. It was very dark and there was chaos everywhere. Just when I wanted to join the battle, I was knocked down by someone beside me. My head seemed to hit something hard and I fainted.
Then when I woke up, it was already the next morning, the morning when the squadron was preparing to withdraw to Seireitei. Later, it was discovered that two college students were missing from our stronghold. They all said that they were killed by the enemy during the battle, but their bodies were never found..."
Amamiya Keiji's narration had no structure at all, but Lin Nan was very happy to hear it. So it turns out that this kid escaped by hiding on the ground and pretending to be dead?
Amemiya saw the smile in Lin Nan's eyes and hurriedly explained, "What I said is true! I was really knocked unconscious and I didn't show fear or pretend to be dead!"
Lin Nan smiled and nodded repeatedly, "I believe you, I believe you. It's just that this thing sounds so funny."
Amemiya looked helplessly at Lin Nan, who was obviously unable to hold back his joy. Suddenly something came to his mind, and he said to Lin Nan with a serious face, "By the way, I just remembered that I do have something important to tell you."
Lin Nan saw this, his expression calmed down, and asked, "What kind of thing?"
"I heard from others that Court Guard Squad suffered heavy losses in personnel this time, but they will soon start fighting against the enemy again."
Lin Nan thought to himself, isn't this something that everyone has known for a long time? Several squads have even lost more than half of their people. Everyone has known about it for a long time.
But a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, "No. You just said that you want to fight against the enemy again? Who said that?"
Information about enemy encounters and operations should be classified as military secrets. How could ordinary Spirit Arts Academy students come into contact with this information?
"I heard it when a group of people were chatting. I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid in a dark place not far away. So I didn't see clearly who said it.
Maybe someone in the family works in Court Guard Squad? That's why they knew about this kind of thing in advance."
Lin Nan's intuition told him that this matter might not be that simple.
"Not necessarily. You should pay more attention in the past two days and find out who spread the news."
Amemiya nodded obediently, then lowered his head in shame:
"I think I'm quite useless. The information you asked me to inquire about before has not been revealed after so many days. Rukongai also didn't help much during the battle."
Lin Nan patted him on the shoulder. "No one is born with something. Don't be discouraged."
The two chatted for a while, until they found a group of college students coming towards them. In order not to expose their whereabouts, they ended the meeting.
After Amemiya left, Lin Nan looked at the street trees around him aimlessly, and the intuition in his mind gave a crazy warning:
"Strange, why do I always feel like something big is going to happen..."
