Senkaimon Management Office.
Yoriichi handed the stamped document of Yamamoto to Second Division Stealth Force who was responsible for opening Senkaimon.
The other party checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he respectfully stepped aside.
"Captain Yoriichi, Senkaimon is ready."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Yoriichi nodded and stepped into Senkaimon.
The surrounding scene was quickly swallowed up by darkness.
The next moment.
He stood among Dangai.
Looking around, everything is devastated.
The originally flat and wide passage was filled with cracked rock walls and scattered Reishi debris. The interior of the space was filled with high concentrations of Reiatsu that had not yet dissipated.
There are a large number of irregular collapses in the rock formations on both sides.
In some places, a large piece had even been cut off, and the fracture was smooth and neat, as if it had been cut from the middle by something sharp.
There are several long and narrow cracks in the distance.
The crack did not spread to the end, but hovered in mid-air, and the surrounding Reishi was continuously sucked into it, and then spewed out from the other side.
Dangai's Kōryū become very disordered around these areas.
Some seemed to have been forcibly cut off, while others were rushing back and forth between the rock walls, making a dull roar.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yoriichi looked a little embarrassed.
These are all traces left by his battle with Ichigo.
At that time, after Ichigo used Mugetsu, the power released was too strong.
Yoriichi In order to block the knife, he didn't control his own Reiatsu.
It seems now...
It was indeed a bit harsh.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have taken him to the wasteland and beaten him."
Yoriichi whispered to himself.
It's a pity that the battle ended so quickly, and no one thought about having to pay compensation afterwards.
He took out the black cube Mayuri Kurotsuchi handed to him from his arms.
After pressing the button on the surface, a layer of translucent Reishi Light Screen immediately appeared above the block.
In the center of Light Screen is a spreading circular ripple.
Several red light spots are distributed on the ripples. As Yoriichi moves, the position of the light spots is also constantly changing.
The most eye-catching red dot is located on the right front of him.
Yoriichi Close your eyes and feel the Reiatsu fluctuations around you.
There is indeed something unusual there.
It's just that the distance is too far, and it's difficult for ordinary perception to directly locate the specific location.
Yoriichi Follow the direction displayed on the device and walk forward.
There is no day and night change in Dangai.
There is nothing that can be used to judge time.
He only walked for a moment when the road in front of him suddenly stopped.
A huge rock crack runs across the center of Dangai.
The width of the crack exceeds ten meters, and the edge shows an obvious layered peeling structure. There are a large number of brittle fracture zones formed by the impact of Reiatsu in the surrounding rock mass.
Judging from the geological structure, it seems that a violent fault dislocation occurred here.
But Dangai is no ordinary place.
The depth of this crack is far beyond what can be judged by the naked eye.
Yoriichi stood on the edge of the crack, lowered his head and looked down.
It was pitch black down below.
Yoriichi Pick up the black square.
The red dot on the screen is located just below the crack.
"Trouble."
He didn't really want to jump off hastily.
There is likely to be a space mezzanine below. Once you enter it directly, you may lose all traces like the previously missing reconnaissance team.
Yoriichi stretched out his finger and clicked on the contact logo on the screen.
Soon.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's annoying face appears on Light Screen.
"Oh, did you discover the situation so quickly?"
Mayuri Kurotsuchi grinned, and his golden teeth stood out on the screen.
"As expected of Captain Yoriichi, the efficiency is much higher than I expected."
His tone was still so frivolous.
It sounds very infuriating.
"No target found yet."
Yoriichi replied calmly, "But I'm not sure whether to go in now."
As he spoke, he turned the device in one direction and pointed it at the rock crack in front of him.
The darkness in the picture suddenly took up most of the screen.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's smile gradually faded.
He stared at the crack for a while and suddenly said, "Put the equipment on the ground."
"What to do?"
"I want to do some research remotely."
Yoriichi looked at the black square in his hand.
"Didn't you say this is a pager?"
"A pager is just its most basic function."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi snorted coldly.
"Do you think that the latest device developed by Research and Development Institute can only serve as a contact person? That would be too underestimated of my wisdom."
Yoriichi did not refute.
He bent down and placed the black cube on the rock next to the crack.
The next moment.
Four slender mechanical legs suddenly popped up from the bottom of the device.
After the four legs landed on the ground, the black block shook slightly for a few times, and then crawled quickly like a spider.
Yoriichi stood aside and watched quietly as it moved along the edge of the crack.
It didn't take long.
The device was parked in front of a rock outcrop.
A gap opened on its side, and a slender metal needle protruded from it and plunged directly into the rock layer.
Blue Reishi is continuously injected into the rock wall along the metal needle.
The data on Light Screen jumped quickly.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's face disappeared.
What replaces it is a swath of complex analytical data.
Yoriichi couldn't understand, so I asked.
"How is it?"
"Shut up."
The voice of Mayuri Kurotsuchi comes from the device.
"I am currently conducting analysis."
"Oh."
Yoriichi Shut up.
In the underground laboratory, Mayuri Kurotsuchi stared at the ever-changing structure diagram of Reishi, the expression on his face gradually became serious.
He asked Nemu to call up the old data of Dangai, and then compared the information sent back by the device.
It only takes a few minutes.
His face reappeared on the screen.
"Yoriichi Captain."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi pushed up his non-existent glasses and spoke in an unusually serious tone.
"Although the marked location is here, they are not actually in this place."
Yoriichi frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that the Reiatsu signal captured by the device comes from another layer of space."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi raised his long nails and pointed at the structural diagram that appeared on the screen.
"There is a space gap here, and the surrounding rock layers are just surface projections. The cracks you see are not simple geological fractures, but interface gaps formed after the dislocation of two Reishi structures."
"Those anomalies Reiatsu should be hidden in the cracks of space."
Yoriichi looked at the dark crack.
"Then how do we get in?"
"I don't know yet."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi answered confidently.
"The stability of the space gap is too poor. If you cut the interface rashly, the Kōryū inside will collapse immediately."
"I need more data."
Yoriichi was silent for a moment.
"So have I completed my mission now?"
Mayuri Kurotsuchi was stunned for a moment.
Then, he waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Don't worry, you have completed this mission."
"As long as I know that Dangai is abnormal, Research and Development Institute will naturally handle the rest."
"Yoriichi Captain, thank you. Otherwise, I would have to go there in person."
Yoriichi breathed a sigh of relief.
My mood also improved.
"It's okay, we are all here for the souls..."
"Who?"
Yoriichi's eyes changed instantly.
His figure disappeared into thin air.
The next moment, he had appeared dozens of meters away.
At the same position just now, a long knife penetrated the rock formation, and the blade was still vibrating slightly.
Yoriichi looked at the figure holding the knife, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
