Bleach: I'm picking up attributes in Seireitei

Wang Xun opened his eyes and struggled to break free from Jia Lianhua's tantrums and entanglements.

That's ridiculous, where am I supposed to get this for you?

He sighed deeply. Although he had developed a new ability, he wasn't particularly happy. Instead, he felt unexpectedly tired.

I have no idea what happened to Nanao just now.

He glanced at the pitch-black sky; it was time for him to leave.

On his way back to the dormitory from the training ground, Wang Xun did not see Qi Xu again.

It seems they really have gone back first.

Although I don't quite understand it, at least I don't seem so down anymore.

Let's ask what happened later.

But what Tsunayo said today made him take it much more seriously.

There are some things that we really have to be wary of.

It's time to make some preparations in advance.

When he returned to his dormitory, Wang Xun found the things that Kisuke Urahara had left for him.

An address and a token engraved with the words "Captain of the Barracks Team".

It's not appropriate for him to keep carrying this thing around.

It's time to give them a visit.

The next day, since there were no important classes, Wang Xun simply skipped them.

Following the address left by Kisuke Urahara, Wang Xun searched all the way there.

It wasn't until he stood in front of the Second Division barracks, looking at that familiar gate, that Wang Xun clicked his tongue in speechlessness.

Sure enough, he had a premonition.

Again.

Fortunately, he wasn't summoned this time.

"Who goes there? What brings you to the Second Division?"

Two members of the Covert Survival Squad appeared instantly at the door, watching Wang Xun warily.

Wang Xun looked down at the token in his hand, then handed it over.

"I've come to see Kisuke Urahara; please inform him of my presence."

One of them took the token, examined it carefully, and then frowned.

"It is indeed Urahara Sanke's token, how did it end up with you?"

"He gave it to me, saying that when I came to see him, I should show this to prove my identity."

The guard's expression became even stranger.

If it were Urahara, the third seat, it seems he could indeed do something like that...

The guard looked at the token, then at Wang Xun, and finally lowered his head to think for a moment before whispering a few words to another person.

"Please wait a moment."

The man disappeared with the token; without a doubt, he went to ask his superiors for instructions.

A moment later, he reappeared and nodded to his companion.

"plz follow me."

"Urahara Sanke is currently with the Kakei team, and I can only take you there. You'll have to explain the rest yourself."

Thank you for your trouble.

Wang Xun nodded and stepped into the Second Division's barracks.

Following the guards into the Second Division's barracks, Wang Xun didn't feel unfamiliar since he had been there once before.

Most of the Grim Reapers passing by were dressed in the tight-fitting suits of the Covert Force, and they were in a hurry.

When they see Wang Xun's unfamiliar face, they cast wary glances at him, then silently look away.

Led by the guards, Wang Xun passed through several corridors and arrived at a hill behind the team's quarters.

He walked through a grove of trees and saw a suspension bridge.

Below the suspension bridge is a moat tens of meters wide, in the middle of which is an island surrounded by a high stone wall, with only this narrow suspension bridge connecting it to the shore.

There were two guards at the front and back of the suspension bridge. When Wang Xun approached, one of them stepped forward to stop him.

"Halt! This is the area under the jurisdiction of the security team. Any orders?"

"By order of Lord Yoruichi, take this person to the location of the Third Seat of Urahara."

The guard who brought Wang Xun over gestured to Wang Xun.

Wang Xun presented the token again.

The two guards exchanged a glance and eventually made way for each other.

One of them said in a low voice.

"We have received orders that if a white-haired boy comes with a token, he can go directly into the maggot's nest."

"Squad Leader Urahara is inside. Please follow me."

After exchanging greetings, the guard who brought Wang Xun over turned and left, while Wang Xun continued walking inside, led by another person.

The suspension bridge swayed precariously, with the bottomless lake water beneath our feet.

When he reached the center of the bridge, Wang Xun clearly felt a change in the concentration of spiritual particles around him.

A subtle sense of oppression came over him, as if an invisible energy was blocking his spiritual pressure.

Wang Xun looked at the gray walls surrounding the island in the lake and recognized the special material that could isolate spiritual pressure.

Killing Intent Stone.

The entire island is surrounded by walls made of killing stones, forming a natural barrier that isolates spiritual pressure.

After crossing the suspension bridge and passing through the murderous stone wall, Wang Xun walked a little further in and saw a heavy iron door embedded in a stone wall.

There were no markings on the door, only a simple lock.

Although it was quiet around him, Wang Xun could feel that there were many subtle, unseen eyes watching him from all angles.

"here it is..."

"This is the underground special guard tower, commonly known as the maggot's nest. Captain Urahara is on duty today. You can wait at the entrance for a while while I go to inform them."

After gesturing to Wang Xun, the guard opened the iron gate and went inside.

A moment later, Kisuke Urahara appeared alongside him.

"Hey, Wang Xun, you're here so soon! By the way, isn't today a rest day? Don't you have classes at the Spirit Arts Academy?"

"I was thinking about some boring history classes, and whether I should go or not was up to me. I suddenly remembered the request I sent you, so I came to check on my progress."

Kisuke Urahara's smile remained unchanged, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"I see."

"Unfortunately, I've only just finished out the preliminary experimental plan and ideas, so it will take some time before I can check the progress."

"Besides... I have a feeling that you came to see me for more than just this."

Seeing the probing look in Kisuke Urahara's eyes, Wang Xun remained silent for a moment.

"There are indeed some problems, but I don't know if you have the ability to help me solve them."

"Hmm, that seems to be no small matter... Well then, it's not appropriate to talk about it standing outside. Let's come inside and talk."

Seeing Kisuke Urahara push open the door, Wang Xun sensed something was wrong.

"Where to?"

"Of course it's here. My experiment planning log is still in there, so I can show it to you while I'm at it."

"Don't worry, the prisoners inside all have specially restricted spiritual seals, so their spiritual pressure is greatly suppressed and they pose no threat."

As Kisuke Urahara spoke, he pushed open the iron gate leading to the maggot's nest.

Ah, this...

Seeing Urahara already inside, Wang Xun scratched his head and followed.

Before your eyes lies a vast underground cavern, with steps leading downwards and pale blue spiritual lights illuminating the path ahead on both sides.

This scene is quite fitting for the name "The Nest of Maggots".

Reaching the bottom, push open another large door, and the view suddenly opens up before you.

Inside the door was a spacious area.

The ground was paved with flat bricks and stones, and overhead was a towering cave ceiling, illuminated by bright light.

Simple tables and chairs are scattered inside the cave.

The prisoners, dressed in white prison uniforms, were scattered together, their expressions somewhat blank, and it was unclear how long they had been imprisoned.

However, their movements were not restricted, and they were able to move freely within the open area.

It's less like a prison and more like a small, enclosed community.

Kisuke Urahara looked at Wang Xun behind him and introduced him softly.

"This is the maggot's nest. The courses at the Spirit Arts Academy should have mentioned it. It's a place where potentially dangerous individuals are held."

"Let's go, my lab is still inside."
