American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Holding a tri-colored dango in his hand and leisurely strolling through the streets, Qi Shan suddenly paused, his expression shifting.

He finished the last dumpling and flicked away the bamboo skewer. A cry of 'Ouch!' followed as a Soul Reaper tumbled from a rooftop.

Qi Shan sighed softly: "You've been following me for a while now. I gave you countless opportunities, but you remained unmoved. Fine, you win. I've finally succumbed to my curiosity and want to drag you out and ask what you're trying to do."

The man, with a bamboo skewer sticking out of his shoulder, stood up rather disheveled. Blood flowed from his shoulder, but a manic grin stretched across his face.

"You're definitely not right in the head. I knew something was off about you back at the tri-colored dango shop. Uryū Ishida is such a beautiful woman, yet you only exchanged a few words with her before strolling off with your dango. No normal person would do that; they'd all want to spend the night at the dango shop."

Qi Shan glanced at the Soul Reaper's shoulder badge, his expression becoming more speechless: "You followed me for two whole blocks just because of that?"

"Isn't that reason enough? No matter what you are, you're still a suspicious non-believer. As a member of the Gotei 13, Squad 11, the combat squad, don't I have reason enough to make trouble for you?"

"Alright, with your thought process, I guess that logic could make sense!"

Qi Shan was also quite helpless. He had intended to quietly experience the customs and culture of the Soul Society, but instead, he had been discovered by a Squad 11 combat madman for no reason. Moreover, judging from this person's attire and ugly appearance, he was undoubtedly a background character, the kind that never even appeared in the plot.

Should he just leave? Or should he cause a scene first?

Just as Qi Shan was hesitating, a crisp sound suddenly echoed from the sky. He looked up and saw a huge, transparent cannonball, encapsulating five people, plummeting downwards.

The Squad 11 Soul Reaper was completely stunned, his mouth agape as he exclaimed in surprise, "What is that thing?"

With a loud crash, the powerful barrier surrounding the Soul Society was directly smashed open by this unparalleled impact force. As some fragments fell, the transparent cannonball miraculously filled the broken barrier, instead throwing out the people it contained.

They cried out in panic, scattering like flower petals as they were thrown in different directions. Watching the figures, like several cannonballs, falling one after another from the sky, the Squad 11 Soul Reaper's brain suddenly short-circuited. Laughing wildly, he drew his zanpakuto, abandoned Qi Shan, and charged towards the falling figures, howling.

Qi Shan was speechless. If he remembered correctly, that bamboo skewer should still be stuck in that guy's shoulder, right?

Oh well, not my problem.

Where should he go next? It seemed like there weren't many restaurants in the Soul Society, only tea houses and sweet shops.

Then perhaps he should go to a tea house next?

Shielding her chest with her hands, resisting the strong wind pressure, Arisawa Tatsuki channeled her Nen energy, enveloping her whole body.

As she got closer and closer to the ground, Arisawa Tatsuki's expression became more and more serious.

With a loud crash, houses shattered, and a large pit was blasted into the ground. Arisawa Tatsuki curled up into a ball, lying in the center of the pit. She didn't have many injuries, only some abrasions on her elbows.

Arisawa Tatsuki climbed up and lightly leaped upwards, instantly jumping onto the roof of a nearby house. Looking into the distance, a city full of ancient colors came into view.

"This is the Soul Society?"

Arisawa Tatsuki was slightly surprised.

After Mr. Yoruichi's explanation, these high school students from the real world had a general impression of the Soul Society, but that was all.

In her impression, this place might be similar to the environment in ancient costume dramas, but upon seeing it, she realized it was completely different.

The difference was too big.

While Arisawa Tatsuki was marveling, a Soul Reaper with a bamboo skewer sticking out of his shoulder, looking crazed to the point of madness, suddenly smashed through a wall and appeared before Arisawa Tatsuki. He pointed the zanpakuto in his hand at Arisawa Tatsuki, laughing loudly, "It's you, non-believer! I've finally found an opponent! Come and fight me!"

With a small footprint indented on his chest, after falling to the ground, he spurted blood, even though his eyes were filled with madness and ferocity.

It was all in vain!

In the end, he could only unwillingly gaze at Arisawa Tatsuki's figure, laboriously uttering the word 'non-believer' before fainting.

This guy suddenly appeared and then suddenly fainted. The whole process didn't even last more than a second. After resolving him, Arisawa Tatsuki didn't even react, staring blankly for several seconds before looking back, blinking her eyes, and inexplicably saying: "What's this guy doing? Why did he suddenly attack me?"

"Forget it, forget it, now is not the time to think about these things. Finding Rukia's location is the most important thing!"

Arisawa Tatsuki simply discerned the direction and headed directly towards the central tower!

Although she didn't know the exact location, the closer she got to the center, the more worthwhile it would be to explore.

Meanwhile, Qi Shan, who had intended to avoid trouble, encountered an accident.

Looking at the gentle woman with two long braids woven across her chest standing in front of him, Qi Shan helplessly rubbed his nose.

"Could you pretend you didn't see me?"

"That won't do. No matter what, I am a captain of the Gotei 13. This stranger, you don't have any entry or exit records for the Soul Society! Could you explain why?"

Her voice was gentle, but to Qi Shan's ears, it faintly carried the sound of thunder.

He was just here to sightsee. The Ryoka and destructive actions would naturally be carried out by the protagonist's team.

How come they were progressing smoothly, while he had already inexplicably encountered two groups of people blocking his path.

The first one could be ignored, but the one in front of him was definitely a troublesome character!

It seemed like he had no choice but to fight!
