This system is kind of weird

"If you suddenly sneeze, it must be me scolding you..."

Humming a ditty that was completely out of tune, Duan Mu turned the hammer a few times in his hand while humming. He looked at the new door made in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

Behind him, prisoners in white prison uniforms were busy cleaning the maggot nest with various cleaning tools.

Similar general cleaning is basically done several times a month.

At first there were still people who were unwilling to do it, but after a few years, no one was willing to do it anymore, because that lunatic who hummed an unpleasant song was really lunatic...

If you don't want to be beaten, and if you don't want to be beaten, treated, and beaten again, it's better to listen to him honestly.

Many times, even if they didn't provoke the madman, as long as he found a reason, the madman would still beat them up.

That posture was basically treating them like human sandbags.

Over time, as soon as Duan Mu comes, all the prisoners will become model prisoners. Occasionally, they will be caught and severely punished by other prisoners who are afraid of being implicated without Duan Mu taking action.

The door to the Maggot Nest is open as usual.

However, the few prisoners who were cleaning the dust from the door were busy cleaning without even looking at the exit.

Because I had looked at the exit too many times before, and then the lunatic beat all the prisoners violently on the grounds that "you are trying to escape."

However, in addition to beating the prisoners at every turn, they also had to admit that since Duan Mu took over the Maggot Nest, both the living environment and the quality of life have skyrocketed.

We even built many entertainment things for them, such as mahjong, poker, and a ring for them to fight.

From time to time, I would also help them improve their food. It can be said that apart from the fact that they like to practice with prisoners, other aspects made the prisoners feel...

Warden Duan Mu treats them as human beings.

Um……

When he beat them, this madman definitely didn’t treat them as human beings!!

"Da da da~~"

Duan Mu replaced the damaged doors one by one with new ones.

Normally, the door should be the least likely thing to break. Although the doors made by Duan Mu are all made of wood, after they are finished, he will engrave some reinforced spiritual patterns on the door. If it is just a normal opening and closing

It is impossible to cause damage to the door.

only……

For these guys who have nowhere to vent their energy and are prone to kicking in doors and breaking into other people's cells, no matter how strong the wooden door is, it needs to be replaced several times a month.

However, Duan Mu didn't have time to bother. Anyway, besides cleaning up every time he came, he had nothing else to do.

Find more work for yourself, and if you are noticed by the Zhanfeng, you may be able to improve your favorability.

Although he hadn't seen Zai Bee for a while, since Duan Mu came back from Hueco Mundo, he had been turned away by Zai Bee several times when he visited, as if he didn't even want to see him.

This made Duan Mu understand that she must have discovered something.

Thinking of this, Duan Mu couldn't help but sigh.

It is good to make friends, but the process of making friends is to understand each other. When he understands his friends, those friends will gradually understand him.

It's easy to hide many things from people who don't know you well, but it's very difficult to deceive people who know you very well.

"Boss Duan Mu, our cleaning has been completed."

Erjiayuan came to Duan Mu, put on a loyal and dog-eating attitude, and said, "Do you want to check it out?"

"No."

Duan Mu shook his head, stood up and looked around, and found that except for a few people who went back to the house to sleep, most people were standing upright nearby, paying attention to him.

"Very good. It seems that you guys are staying here because you want to ask me to check on your strength and progress."

"???"

The faces of all the prisoners changed, and then their eyes turned into dead fish eyes.

What else do you want us to do?

Naturally, they are not standing here just for Duan Mu to check some bullshit strength progress.

But because the last time Duan Mu beat them, the reason he used was:

"After cleaning, you actually ran to rest without waiting for me to check. It seems that I need to let you know what the rules are."

Then, using this as an excuse, all the prisoners were beaten up.

That's why now, after the cleaning is completed, they basically stay here, hoping that Duan Mu can leave after being satisfied.

result……

This madman can't even act now.

How could the people who live here care about whether they are powerful or not!

…

Two hours later, Duan Mu moved his shoulders and walked out of the maggot nest with a comfortable look on his face.

As expected, if you want to find a sparring partner, people like Maggot Nest are the most suitable.

Regardless of whether there is a gap in strength or not, and regardless of whether they are frightened or not, as long as they get a red eye, these people will rush forward regardless of life or death.

Moreover, by fighting with them, in addition to mastering some moves, you can also conduct research and experiments on everyone's spiritual bodies in the name of 'treatment'.

To others, these people are nothing more than a group of prisoners.

But in Duan Mu's eyes, these people are extremely precious sparring partners, plus precious samples that he can use for human experiments!

Therefore, Duan Mu has always taken good care of the prisoners in the Maggot Nest.

From time to time, he would spend his own money to treat them to extremely sumptuous meals, although most of the time... Duan Mu would add some self-made potions to these meals, and then observe their reactions after eating.

The only pity is...

Don't kill people!

If people can be killed, the entire Soul Society may not be able to find such a perfect human experiment base where samples can be continuously replenished.

But experiments are experiments. Under the premise that people cannot die or leave any sequelae, whether it is the research of those potions or the engraving of spiritual patterns on their bodies, they will eventually bring them some benefits, which can also be said to be a different kind of compensation.

.

Some prisoners' spiritual pressure has been enhanced, while others' physical conditions have become better.

However, Duan Mu did not study everything like several other mad scientists.

Although he has researched many things, his main research direction has not changed, which is the study of tracking ghost paths.

The research on the tracking type ghost path has not stopped since Duanmu entered the Seireitei, but the gains have been very little.

This made Duan Mu feel a little anxious.

No matter how the strength progresses, if Duan Mu does not create a way to be immune to the mirror effect, Duan Mu will be inherently disadvantaged when fighting against the Hairspray Hand.

After all, he is not an acting god of death who is immune to other people's abilities by virtue of his 'protagonist halo'.

But if a Kidō that is immune to mirror flowers and water moons could be created so easily, that Hairspray Hand wouldn't have been a good old man in the Seireitei for so many years.

In fact, in addition to tracking ghost paths, Duan Mu has also studied integrating back paths into the body to create techniques similar to instant coaxing.

However, this research has been abandoned by Duan Mu.

because……

Useless.

His original plan was to integrate Huidao into his body so that he could gain an ability similar to Hollow's 'super-fast regeneration'. At the same time, Huidao could continuously restore spiritual pressure to himself, allowing him to fight for a longer period of time.

However, after Duan Mu's physique broke through to the top level, he naturally had the ability to approach 'super-fast regeneration'.

Duan Mu has been experimenting with his recovery ability during this period. Some ordinary knife wounds can be healed within half a minute even if they are not treated, provided that there is no strong spiritual pressure left in the wound.

As for whether severed limbs can be regenerated, Duan Mu doesn't know.

He is not crazy enough to cut off his own arm to see if it can grow back... After all, with Duan Mu's accomplishments in the path of return, growing a new arm is not an easy task.

Moreover, whether it is to reattach the broken arm or find a way to spawn a new arm, Duan Mu cannot guarantee that the recovered broken arm will be able to exert the same strength as the original.

Back to business.

The self-healing ability is already available, and the ability to restore spiritual pressure can be completely replaced by developing spiritual patterns, so it is no longer necessary for Duan Mu to integrate the Huidao into the body like the ghost path.

System, please give me some strength!!

Duan Mu silently encouraged the system in his heart, although he also knew that the system could only perform deductions after he created a prototype.

"Hey~~"

Duan Mu sighed slightly and looked at the system interface in his mind.

…

Name: Duan Mu

Race: human

Level: Stage 3

Physique: Top (15377/1000000)

Reiatsu: Top level (311090/1000000)

Free fight: Advanced (2864/100000)

Shunpo: Top(0/1000000)

Cutting Technique: Advanced (16540/100000)

Zanpakutō: Advanced (53642/100000)

…

Looking at those densely packed zeros, looking at the only 70,000 experience points, and thinking about the monsters and monsters hiding in Seireitei, Duan Mu only felt that the future was gloomy.

His body remained as stable as ever, or it had never moved before.

Although increasing spiritual pressure can boost the body, it still has an upper limit. Once the upper limit is reached, no matter how much spiritual pressure is increased, the physical body will not fluctuate.

In terms of cutting skills, there has been steady improvement, neither rapid progress nor stagnation.

On the contrary, Shunpo, which was originally far weaker than the slashing technique, fell into a bottleneck, but Duan Mu was not in a hurry. The top-level Shunpo was enough to deal with most situations.

but……

Duanmu's "eyesight" stayed behind the Zanpakutō for a moment, and his proficiency with the Zanpakutō skyrocketed after just one complete attack.

Rather than saying that he makes the Zanpakutō stronger, it is better to say that the Zanpakutō's own consciousness is eager to become stronger.

But he still poses no threat to himself. In a one-on-one situation, no matter how strong he becomes, he has never lost in Sword Zen, unless it is intentional...

Originally Duan Mu would deliberately lose, but now Duan Mu will enter the spiritual world to fight with his Zanpakutō and win.

Of course, for the sake of fairness.

Duanmu mostly used Kidō to deal with it, simply attacking and defending with the Zanpakutō to practice Kidō. Only when he was about to lose would he use other techniques.

Obliterating your real name is not a step that can be completed in a short time.

Although Duanmu has mastered the method, he needs to reforge his Zanpakutō step by step before giving it a new name.

As for whether this new name can change the ability of the Zanpakuto, Duan Mu is not sure.

But there is one thing he can be sure of, that is...

The moment he completes the recasting, the Zanpakutō will completely become his own ability, and the sword itself...or shallow attack, is no longer important to Duanmu.

If he wants to, even if the 'shell' that holds the ability of Qianda disappears, he can still condense a new sword, and he can use the Zanpakuto's ability even without 'Qianda' acting as a medium.

To give a simple example, the shallow dagger in Duan Mu's hand is now like a hatching egg, and what Duan Mu needs to do is to hatch this hatching egg. When a new Zanpakutō hatches, the eggshell named 'Shallow' will

Become something that can be thrown away at will.

Of course, this is Duan Mu's ultimate goal.

To achieve this, many prerequisites need to be completed first!

Before that...

The Zanpakutō in Duan Mu's hand is just scrap metal that can be used for slashing.

Shaking his head, Duanmu didn't continue to struggle with the Zanpakutō. He turned his attention to the spiritual pressure, looking a little confused.

During this time, he had been thinking about whether to challenge Captain Unohana.

but……

That first contact left the figure of Uozhihua Lie deeply imprinted in Duan Mu's mind, and the trembling that came from the depths of his soul still cannot be calmed down to this day.

Let Duan Mu understand that before the trembling disappears, he is not qualified to draw a sword in front of her.

As if she knew that one day she would challenge her, she set the threshold for Duan Mu to challenge in advance.

When his strength was insufficient, he didn't feel this way yet; when his strength became stronger, he realized this, and the impression Unohana Retsu left on him became even more profound.

With a spiritual pressure proficiency of 300,000, he is already the best among low-level captains, and has even entered the threshold of intermediate captains.

As a result, even though I am like this, my soul still trembles when I think of fighting with Unohana.

How strong can she actually be?

Duan Mu made a rough guess.

Putting aside other aspects, she claimed to have mastered all the schools and sword styles in the world thousands of years ago, and it is very possible that she has reached the top level of full proficiency in cutting skills.

Even if it's not full, it should be infinitely close...

Thinking about her other abilities, Duan Mu's lips twitched slightly, and he decisively gave up the idea of ​​challenging Uozhihua Retsu.

Um……

I am not afraid, I want to try other ways to make friends with him. There is no need to fight and kill him to make friends...

After comforting himself in his heart, Duan Mu went straight into the comprehensive first aid center.

It’s not for anything else, it’s for safety!

"Um?"

As soon as he entered the comprehensive first aid center, Duan Mu was stunned.

Looking around, I saw a group of members of the Fourth Division gathered together and looking at something.

Duan Mu came to the back of the crowd. When he heard the crowd's exchanges, he almost turned around and left.

"Why is Captain Aizen here?"

"It seems that one of the team members was injured while going out for support."

"Captain Aizen is indeed very gentle. He even personally sent the injured team members to seek medical treatment."

"Yes, the division I wanted to join was the fifth division. It would be great if I could meet a captain like Captain Aizen... Well, of course, that doesn't mean that Captain Unohana can't

Gentleness, but a gentle man like Captain Aizen is the best support for a woman!"

"Tsk, didn't you say yesterday that Mr. Duan Mu is a woman's best support?"

"One code equals another. Mr. Duan Mu is indeed as gentle and kind as Captain Aizen, but strength is the foundation."

"..."

Safety?

If he hadn't left right after he arrived, it would have easily aroused suspicion, and Duan Mu would have wanted to run back to the maggot nest directly using Shunbu.

Um…

It should still be safe. He couldn't have come just for himself, right?

It seems, seems, probably...it's not completely impossible.
