Chapter 1017 Pause or No Pause
After becoming a member of the Tenth Division, Duran and Denise immediately asked Dong Shilang to compete for the seat. They wanted to challenge the third and fourth seats.
The Shinigami who accepted the challenge were naturally unhappy. The third and fourth seats can be said to be the most important positions in the team. Many of them have captain-level spiritual pressure, and some Shinigami can even use Bankai. They are definitely not objects to be arbitrarily kneaded, so they are very angry and want to teach the ignorant couple a lesson.
But Duran is not afraid of their captain, so how could he be afraid of the third and fourth? He beat them up with a "Ola Ola". Duran very humbly let Denise be the third seat and he be the fourth seat, in the name of respecting his wife.
In short, they temporarily settled down in the center of Soul Society, Soul Society, changed into the Death Hegemony costume, swaggered through the streets every day, and occasionally went to the Soul Street to stroll around. Life is very comfortable.
Of course, there are always eyes monitoring around, and Duran ignores them all, but the contact that comes to the door cannot be avoided. Duran's ability is really very strange. In order not to affect his own plan, it is very necessary to understand Duran.
So Aizen, who pretended to be very kind, took the initiative to appear in front of Duran, and expressed his willingness to make friends with Duran and his wife, who were hated by the God of Death.
"What a coincidence, Duran."
Duran thought, is it a coincidence? The other party has been following him for several blocks, and he may really be impatient to show up, "Isn't this the captain of the fifth team? It's such a coincidence that you want to treat me to a meal?"
Aizen thought that the other party was really familiar, but it was good, he also wanted to get closer to Duran, so this was an opportunity: "It is my honor to treat you and your wife to a meal." His attitude was humble, and he didn't look like a captain at all. He was very approachable.
Acting skills are really important.
"Then take us to the restaurant you patronize the most. We are not picky about food."
"I'm happy to accompany you." Aizen didn't want to be so radical, but Duran was too variable, so he had to be careful to deal with it, at least within a certain range.
Carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent, it is a high-standard restaurant at first glance. It is indeed a captain-level restaurant, and the restaurants he patronizes are definitely not ordinary ones.
Duran laughed and said, "I didn't realize that a bespectacled guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes could be so corrupt. It seems that you are not as upright as you look. You are corrupt, corrupt."
Aizen's expression froze. He thought that his hospitality was actually suspected. Duran was really weird. However, it also shows that Duran is not easy to deal with. He laughed dryly and said, "You are joking. All our captains are regular customers of this restaurant."
"Then there must be something delicious, so let's eat here."
Finding a private room, Duran began to order dishes without hesitation: "Bean sprouts, clear soup, no natto, two servings of everything else!"
The waiter was dumbfounded, and Aizen's face was twitching. He thought Duran was saving money for him, but he didn't expect Duran to be a big spender: "Duran, the three of us can't finish so many dishes."
"How can we not finish them? Everyone in our family has a good appetite, so there will be no waste. The waiter will order dishes and ask Captain Aizen to pay the bill."
I really want to kill him with a mirror flower and a water moon. Aizen's murderous intent has already come out. The best way to solve the threat is always to kill him.
"Sorry, I paused time just now."
Just when Aizen was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Duran's words and his expression froze. When and why? Aizen didn't feel any abnormality in the time stop at all. He didn't know whether the time stopped for five seconds.
Zanpakutō Bankai doesn't necessarily need to be performed in a very cool voice. Sometimes, the ability of Bankai can be performed silently. So Aizen didn't know whether Duran really paused time, so he asked: "Did you pause time just now? I didn't feel anything unusual. Why did you pause time?" He asked in a seemingly gentle manner.
Duran casually said: "I forgot to wash my hands, and I didn't want to miss the time waiting for the food, so I paused for five seconds to wash my hands." He laughed as if it was a trivial matter: "My ability is really very convenient. It prevents me from missing any wonderful moments. Wow, hahaha..."
Aizen laughed dryly, but in fact, he was thinking in his heart that this person was so irresponsible and paused time at every turn. If his plan was destroyed by the other party at a critical moment, wouldn't it be a big deal? It seems that he has to kill him. After deciding, Aizen's inner activities were very intense.
Then he heard Duran laugh and said apologetically: "Sorry, sorry. I paused for five seconds again."
Puff, Aizen is about to vomit blood. Doesn't your Bankai need spiritual pressure? Why pause again? "What happened?"
"No, no, I think I may have forgotten something, but the time for serving the dishes is about to come, and I don't want to miss the first dish, so I paused for five seconds to think about what else I forgot."
Aizen's heart was bleeding. The guy opposite must die. This guy who freezes time at every turn must not be left alive. It's too dangerous. Aizen heard Duran pause time twice without a sound, and his heart was chilled. In ten seconds, all his secrets might be exposed, and he might be killed tens of thousands of times, so this ability to pause time is definitely a huge threat.
"Oh, I still can't remember it. Do you want to pause for another five seconds?" Duran seemed to be really thinking about whether to continue.
Aizen broke out in a cold sweat: "People always have to forget some things in order to move forward to the future easily. Don't force yourself to forget. Sometimes you will remember it without deliberately recalling it."
"You are right, Captain Aizen, you are really a learned and humble wise man, so let's do it." Duran was very happy. Didn't you, Aizen, always ask your opponent in a pretentious way, 'How do you know I didn't use the mirror flower and water moon'? Now Duran wants to let Aizen know the uneasiness of being suspicious and feeling that the world can't be trusted, and the fear that time will be broken at any time.
In fact, Duran didn't stop time at all, but he said so deliberately, and Aizen had to believe it, and it felt very good.
The dishes were served, Duran and Denise were both big eaters, and they really ate with their appetites. The excess dishes on this table were not enough for them. Aizen didn't even move a few chopsticks, and the whole table of food had been destroyed. Aizen regretted that he should have poisoned the dishes earlier.
And because Duran and Denise were eating wholeheartedly, Aizen didn't have the opportunity to ask about the origins of Duran and Denise, and lost the opportunity to get close to them.
"Thank you very much. It's time for us to change shifts. This patrol has given me a good understanding of the wonderful life of a Shinigami. I'll treat you next time if there's a chance, Captain Aizen."
"You're too polite. Let's treat each other. Let's treat each other." Aizen has made up his mind to kill Duran at all costs.
