Chapter 1107 12th Division’s Captain

Serafall didn't reply to him but the 'slimy stare' had already disappeared as she had requested. She had guessed that he was using some equipment to probe her and didn't like the feeling it was giving.

Momo soon returned with a hurried expression, "Captain! What happened!?... Captain Kurotsuchi?"

"Your report?" Kurotsuchi immediately asked without taking his eyes off Serafall.

Momo was stunned for a moment before saying, "Y-yes! We've confirmed that the Humans have started leaving the area and within a few minutes, there won't be anyone left!"

"Interesting..." Kurotsuchi muttered with a small smile, "Illusion? Hypnosis? But it's not a Kidou or any known technique. A unique ability? But why are there no traces?"

Serafall grinned at him and said, "Do you want me to answer?"

"No. I have no point of reference to compare whatever you're giving me. I wouldn't know what sort of lie you'll insert into it."

Serafall turned to him and said, "But at least you'll get something, right? You can reference anything remotely connected to it and you'll still glean some data from it."

"True, but there's also nothing more dangerous than incorrect information."

"Then how are you going to figure me out? If you do that invasive probing again, I'm really going to get angry this time."CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

Kurotsuchi's smile became wider, "My, it's not every day you'd see someone threatening a Captain of Gotei 13. How confident are you?"

Serafall also returned the same smile without hiding her hostility and said, "Confident enough that I could have you kiss the ground~. After all, I know what you're capable of but you don't know me~."

The threatening demeanor between the two only kept escalating and that made Momo panic and hide behind Shinji who could only sigh.

But when it looked like they were about to go at it, something inside Mayuri's clothes started ringing and the Shinigamis stationed on the air started yelling at each other. Three holes like they were made by a Hollow's Descorrer opened, but unlike the former, there was a row of omnivore teeth along its edges. It's way more than the 1 or 2 Beasts that kept appearing this past week.

Shinji and Momo instantly responded to their appearance and commanded their soldiers to intercept the emerging Beasts of Hell numbering at least a hundred.

Seeing that Mayuri is not doing anything, Serafall asked, "You're not going to help them?"

Serafall also followed him, curious of what he made out of it, "Still better than asking questions?"

Mayuri kept the debris in his Shihakushou while answering, "Of course. That confirmed a few things in my head."

"Then in exchange for that, allow me a passage when you guys finally secured a path to Hell."

"I can't allow that." Mayuri immediately answered, "While I don't really care what you do to others, I still won't allow unnecessary risks."

"Then what else could I do for you to allow such risks?" Serafall knew that she still may be able to get to Hell through their help thanks to Kisuke's connection, but she still want to get that privilege as naturally as possible to avoid needless suspicion.

"Hmm..." Mayuri seriously considered her offer, 'What can I do to force her to show more? I don't really want to fight someone completely unknown.'

At that moment, an enormous explosion shook the whole area and both Serafall and Mayuri saw Hinamori Momo flying out with grave injuries.

Serafall instantly flew off and caught her midair, 'A big hole in her stomach, but it doesn't look like it's fatal.'

While coughing up blood, Momo struggled to lift her head and muttered, "... Es-Espada..."

Wondering what she meant, Serafall heard Mayuri's voice, "If you deal with one of them, I could consider what you want to happen."

Serafall turned her head to where he was pointing and saw two individuals that seemed to come out of Hell, "At least promise that you'd make it happen."

"Sadly, I don't control the Seireitei so the most I could really do is vouch for you."

'Well, I guess this is enough. At least I don't need a sudden recommendation.' Serafall thought while sealing Momo's wound with her Magic and placing her down beside Mayuri, "Grant me entry to Soul Society too while you're at it."

Mayuri stared at her for a few moments before answering, "If you could give a few hours of your time to my lab."

"I won't allow any deep inspections."

"Deal."
