Chapter 1499: Luring the target
Su Xiao kicked the huge corpse to the side, then walked towards the stone wall.
[

Your Soul Eater talent has been activated, and your mana pool has been increased by 9 points. The maximum amount of mana at the moment is 6,085 units.
[
You have received a dark purple treasure chest.
The guardian of the White Way Gate looked strong, but he wasn't. He died from just one attack from Su Xiao.
Of course, he died because of a single blow, mainly because Su Xiao became a sword grandmaster.
Su Xiao walked to the stone wall. For shinigami, this wall was almost indestructible due to its special properties.
*Clang-clang-clang...*
After swinging his sword a couple of times, Su Xiao slowly returned it to its scabbard.
*Boom!*
A piece of wall fell to the ground. The wall that seemed unbreakable in the eyes of the shinigami was just a wall of ordinary stone in Su Xiao's eyes.
After all, he didn't control the spirit particles.
After stepping on the ground on the other side of the wall, Su Xiao walked towards Rukongai.
After passing through a residential area he continued walking and soon reached the forest.
The night wind stirred the trees...
— Come out, " Su Xiao said and leaned against a tall tree.
A sloppily dressed man soon emerged from the darkness.
It was a Shadow.
— Do you want me to kill someone? The man asked, holding a jug of wine in his hand.
There were drops of blood on his tattered clothes.
— Don't let anyone in or out of this forest. No one is allowed to enter or leave it, even if you have to die to do so.
— Got it, " the Shadow said, and disappeared.
Instead of helping out in battle, Su Xiao needed insurance just in case.
----
In the Society of Souls, territory of the 7th squad, in an old house.
In the dimly lit room, a man sat cross-legged on a sofa with his eyes closed, and armor was placed on the table in front of him.
*Crackle-crackle...*
In the courtyard, someone suddenly started gnawing something, which caused the man to open his eyes.
— Stop slurping so loudly.
In response, a rat peeked into his room.
— Who? " the man asked, standing up and taking a few steps toward the rat.
This man wasn't exactly a simple shinigami and right now he was the captain of the 7th Squad, this man was Sajin Komamura.
Sajin could take the form of a wolf, and in this form even his head became a wolf.
Walking quickly to the door, he immediately opened it and looked around the courtyard of his house.
— When he saw a rat in the yard, he frowned, because it was too big and right now this rat was trying to chew something very actively.
Looking closely, he realized that they were black glasses, and when he saw something in them, he was stunned.
He recognized the glasses, they belonged to Aizen. As one of the captains, Sajin certainly remembered what Aizen's glasses looked like.
But because of them, he was very confused right now. These glasses definitely belonged to Aizen, but these glasses were seriously damaged, while the glasses on Aizen's body at the time of the discovery of his body were intact, and what is most unpleasant, these glasses were clearly not damaged by this rat.
The big rat, noticing Sajin's gaze, immediately turned around and began to run away very quickly.
Due to the cover of night and her speed, she was almost out of sight in the blink of an eye.
After hesitating for a moment, Saejin went back inside, took his armor along with his spiritual sword, and ran out of the courtyard.
— Someone help me! Sajin shouted loudly. He certainly wouldn't pursue this rat alone. However, no one came to see him, not because all the shinigami had left their posts, but because of the time.
Five minutes ago, a group of shinigami left to make a detour around Sajin Komamura's residence.
Sajin watched the big rat run away quickly. If he didn't chase after her, he would really lose sight of her.
In the next moment, a black and white figure leaped out of the darkness and pinned the big rat down with its paw.
Seeing this, Sajin felt a bit relieved, and after looking closely at the figure, he saw that it was a large dog with black and white fur.
— Saejin said and started calling the dog over, trying his best to be the friendliest person in the world, but the dog didn't buy it.
Instead, she took a few steps back, as if she was a little afraid of Sajin.
— Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, you see, we are the same species, " Sajin said and pointed to his already wolfish head, which was often confused with a dog's, but the dog turned around and started running away.
— Don't run away...
Just as Sajin was about to rush after her, he was surprised to find that this big dog had simply disappeared.
A few seconds later, she ran out of an alley in the distance and grinned as if she was proud of her victory over this man.
If that big rat was running away from him, Sajin Komamura would think twice about whether he should have chased it or not, and even though it had such an important one, it could very well have been part of an elaborate trap.
Now, because of the appearance of this big dog, Sajin let his guard down a bit because he recognized it.
This stray dog was found by a scientist from the fourth group recently, and he took it in.
While Sajin was hesitating and thinking about whether or not to chase after her, a group of shinigami passed near his residence, and Sajin immediately put on his bamboo hat.
— Sajin shouted loudly, and the group of shinigami immediately stopped and looked at him.
— Captain?
— Follow me, " Sajin said, and immediately gave chase to the dog.
— What?
— Catch up with this dog!
— Ah, oh, got it.
A total of twelve Shinigami followed the dog.
— The big dog in front of them howled, apparently afraid of being chased.
Saejin stopped after five minutes of chasing because it was too quiet around.
They reached the border of the 7th Squad's territories, but they didn't meet a single Shinigami.
When Sajin decided to go public with the case, he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.
After walking a little further, he saw a huge corpse lying on the ground.
— Jidanbo!.. after a quick glance at his body, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
With a whoosh, a figure darted out of the darkness.
— Howl of the world of the dead.
Red lines immediately pierced the shinigami behind Sajin.
— The howl of the world... the dead? Sajin muttered and froze. He recognized this technique. — But you're dead, and how can there be a duplicate?"...
— Captain, help me! a woman's desperate cry rang out.
Out of more than a dozen shinigami, only one girl had survived, but a man had taken her hostage and was now running away with her in the direction of Rukongai.
— Wait, Guardian [1], is that you? What are you doing?!
The man stopped and looked at Sajin.
— It's really you!.. Sajin's voice was filled with disbelief.
— Maybe I am. If you don't want her to die, follow me. Someone wants to see you.
This "Guardian" was actually a Shadow.
[1] I didn't find any mention of this character on the wiki, I translated his name based on the meaning of the characters, if someone found out who it is, let them know, I will make the necessary adjustments (in Chinese, his name is indicated as " 左宗卫”).
