Shutara Senjumaru stood at the head of the bed, calling constantly to Lin Nan who was sleeping in his clothes.
Lin Nan woke up suddenly, and what he saw was the layers of white cloth on the roof. Seeing Senjumaru, he rubbed his sore eyes and asked, "How long have I been sleeping? What happened?"
"One day and one night." Senjumaru stretched out a bone hand and pulled Lin Nan, who was sleeping disheveled, from the bed. "But now is not the time to talk about this. Seireitei has now entered an emergency!"
Lin Nan was forced to stand up from the bed and stretched with some disapproval. He did not take the so-called emergency situation seriously. Now that the main movement of the rebels was clear, all members of Captain Court Guard Squad were dispatched to eliminate them, including Yamamoto. This battle was impossible to lose no matter how you looked at it.
In this case, where would the rebels find the strength to launch a surprise attack on Seireitei?
He asked with an expression that was not yet awake, "Emergency situation? What can happen to Seireitei? Aren't all the rebel forces in Western Rukon District?"
Senjumaru's expression was more serious and nervous than ever before. "The situation is not clear yet. I only heard several explosions from Seireitei. I have sent an intelligence team to find out the information, and there should be a return soon."
Lin Nan gathered the scattered white hair back behind his head and tied it with a cloth strip. "If it was an attack, why didn't the intelligence team give advance warning?"
After all, the Seireitei he was familiar with only existed a few hundred years later. The defense mechanism of Seireitei is still unknown to Lin Nan. He couldn't understand even more, how the enemy sneaked into Seireitei, which was patrolled by guards at all times?
"The intelligence team is mainly responsible for surveillance, infiltration and obtaining intelligence, and is not involved in daily defense work. Moreover, this time, the intelligence team did not find any clues in advance. The enemy seemed to appear out of thin air at Seireitei."
Senjumaru looked back at the sky outside the house and clenched his fists angrily.
"Sir, squad leader! We have the latest news to report!" A man in black, wrapped in black night clothes, suddenly appeared at the door, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Senjumaru.
When he saw the man in black, Lin Nan almost drew his sword. After the Rukongai battle, he is now a little allergic to the dress of the man in black.
"These are members of my intelligence team. They cannot reveal their true colors easily. Please relax." Senjumaru explained to Lin Nan, then turned and looked at the door.
"Come in and report."
The black-clothed intelligence team member immediately entered the house and knelt on one knee in front of the two men. "Seireitei was attacked by unknown forces. There have been multiple reports of attacks! Shutara level assessment, the alert intensity is level three! Now, the 1st Division and 2nd Division team members responsible for the defense have joined the enemy! But the battle situation does not seem optimistic!"
As if to verify what he said, an explosion was heard in the distance outside the house. The explosion point seemed not very far away, and the obvious earthquake made the house where the three of them were located tremble slightly.
Senjumaru's expression couldn't help but tighten. He felt it quietly for a moment, and looked at the team members in front of him sternly. "Level 3!? Who told you to judge it like this? Why didn't I sense the enemy's Captain-level spiritual pressure? How many people are there in total?"
"Captain, according to the judgment rules you designed before, today's battle situation does belong to the third-level alert state! As for the number of enemies, because the opponents are relatively scattered, we can't count them clearly yet. However, other intelligence team members are counting!"
The team member lowered his head deeply, not daring to raise it at all, and answered quickly.
Lin Nan listened silently to the conversation between the two. From Senjumaru's tense expression, he vaguely felt the seriousness of the matter.
"What's going on with this Shutara alert level three?"
Senjumaru silently took out a large white cloth from beside her, and her four skeletal hands instantly broke the white cloth into a number of cloth strips of the same length and width. She wrapped the whole body with the cloth strips, even half of her head was wrapped, and only the left half of her face was exposed.
After doing all this, she turned back and replied, her voice like ice. "In response to the invasion of Seireitei by multiple Captain-level enemies, the alert response plan launched is Shutara Level 3 - the Empire of Light invasion was also Level 3."
Empire of Light was the first invasion of Soul Society by Yhwach. The invasion was eventually foiled by the first generation 13th Division, and Yhwach himself was killed by Yamamoto at the entrance of Seireitei.
"So serious? But didn't you say that you didn't notice Captain-level's spiritual pressure? Could it be that your judgment was wrong?" Lin Nan instinctively noticed a trace of contradiction.
"You should be able to tell from the name that this alert judgment level comes from me. The purpose is to accurately describe the enemy's situation." Senjumaru held a steel needle as thick as her little finger with her bony hand, and said while carefully examining the needle tip,
"It is not judged with reference to the act of [plural captains invading Seireitei], but with reference to the degree of damage caused to Seireitei by hostile acts."
Lin Nan blinked and nodded. "I understand, even if only one ant invades Seireitei, but it has the destructive power of multiple Captain-level, it will be rated as level three?"
After Senjumaru was fully dressed, she exuded a cold and heroic aura. She glanced at Lin Nan and smiled, "It's really smart. You can understand it with a simple explanation. When I created this system, I explained it to the idiots Central 46 for a whole day before they understood the principle and then passed this set of defense evaluation levels.
The enemy's situation is unknown now, and there are not enough troops left behind. I need to go to investigate the enemy's situation first, and participate in the battle if necessary. You are a college student and have no obligation to participate in the battle. You can stay here to take refuge and wait for the battle to end."
Without waiting for Lin Nan to reply, she turned to the intelligence team. "What is the enemy's situation now? Where is the fiercest fighting?"
"... The locations with the highest concentration of enemy spiritual pressure and the highest number of battles are: the main street leading to Central Council Tower, the entrance to Noble Street, Shino Medical Academy and Shino Academy." The team members briefly summarized the battle situation and reported truthfully.
"What? Where do you think they are?" After hearing this, Lin Nan finally lost his composure and couldn't help but ask loudly.
The intelligence team member glanced at Senjumaru, and after receiving permission, recounted the locations where the battle was most intense.
Lin Nan After hearing this, he immediately straightened his clothes and put the knife on his waist. "No, I can't wait here, I have to go out and take a look."
Senjumaru was a little puzzled by his reckless behavior. "Are you so belligerent? I have already said that as a college student, you can take reasonable refuge, why do you want to go out and take risks?"
Lin Nan gave her a firm look. "I'm not bellicose. But Spirit Arts Academy and Pharmaceutical Institute have my friends here, and I have to confirm whether they are safe."
Senjumaru's brows furrowed tightly. Why does this man seem to like to go to the most dangerous places every time?
Previously at Rukongai, he took the initiative to turn around and run towards six Captain-level; today, in the level 3 alert situation at Seireitei, he had to run out by himself again.
"You are just a college student. You just narrowly escaped death, and now you are going out to seek death? Isn't it bad to be alive?" Senjumaru couldn't help but say.
You can obviously be a very talented inventor, but why do you always like to seek death so much?
Lin Nan looked at her and said with a smile, "Do you still remember what I said to you before? Weakness and short-sightedness are not obstacles to becoming stronger, arrogance is. Don't forget, I am also a genius student of the Spirit Arts Academy. If I can escape from the hands of six Captain-level, nothing will happen today!"
Senjumaru blinked and was speechless for a moment. After all, it was Lin Nan who risked his life to hold off six Captain-level, giving her a chance to escape.
Outside, the sounds of rumbling explosions and houses collapsing gradually became more frequent.
She turned back and looked at Lin Nan deeply. "You still owe me two favors! Remember not to die!"
Lin Nan laughed, "You can't even exchange for a favor by blocking Captain-level's pursuit?"
Senjumaru rolled his eyes arrogantly. "I told you to come back then, but you didn't come back yourself. Anyway, remember, you can't die before these two favors are paid off!"
Lin Nan was about to answer when there was another violent explosion outside. He swallowed the joke he was about to blurt out and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I promise you. The situation is urgent, we'd better leave as soon as possible!"
Senjumaru also glanced coldly towards the direction of the explosion and said, "Okay, let's go out together.
If you encounter an enemy near the Secret Excitement team building, I will hold them off for you, and you just run in the direction of the Spirit Arts Academy - no, this is closer to Pharmaceutical Institute - forget it, go wherever you want. Just don't die!"
Lin Nan nodded solemnly, held Asauchi on his waist with his left hand, and jumped out of the secret excitement dormitory together with Senjumaru.
At the street entrance not far in front of us, thick smoke was billowing. Two figures who had just destroyed a house spotted Lin Nan who jumped over the courtyard wall, and immediately rushed over with their swords drawn.
Senjumaru reminded in a low voice, "I will deal with these two, you just act according to your plan!"
Lin Nan quietly pushed Asauchi out an inch with his left hand, and a wild smile appeared on his lips, "Thank you! No! Anyone who stands between me and my destination, I will personally deal with it!"
