Chapter 615: Rukongai
Buzz!
A door of light suddenly appeared in the blue sky like a seal.
Following that, eight streams of white light shot out from the door of light. They streaked across the sky like meteors. After smashing through several houses, they landed on a flat street. Immediately, a huge cloud of dust rose.
Eight figures slowly stood up from the dust and walked out in a sorry state.
There was a trace of fear on everyone's faces, and their spirits were no longer as confident as before.
The distance just now was only a few dozen meters, but in terms of danger and difficulty, it might not be inferior to a confrontation of life and death.
When they first entered Soul Society, they were immediately put on a show of strength.
Although this might not have been the will of those death god, it had indeed caused everyone to feel heavy pressure.
Just a single path that led to Soul Society had almost wiped out the few of them, and they could not imagine what kind of terrifying danger they would encounter in the future!
Everyone had a deep understanding of something.
The difficulty of rescuing Tony was probably several times more difficult than they had imagined!
"Is everyone alright?"
Steve took a deep breath and rubbed his aching legs. He looked back at the number of people in the team and found that there were basically no problems with them. It was just that the exhaustion of their physical strength was relatively serious.
Although the soul hunting constitution was strong, the prerequisite was that they needed to absorb souls.
Natasha and Barton had no time to do this at all, so they were still much weaker than the others at the moment. They were the most dangerous on the way just now. They were also the two closest to the prison, so the consumption of willpower and physical strength was extremely serious.
In comparison, Frank and Constantine were much more relaxed.
They relied on Hoho that they had learned when becoming death god, to escape without much effort.
Peter, the youngest, opened his mask and let out a long breath of hot air from his mouth. He said with lingering fear, "It was really dangerous just now. I almost got caught. I thought I was dead for sure!"
"Yes. Yes. I almost got caught." Natasha leaned on her knees and gasped for breath. Her red hair and face were wet with sweat. She looked like she had just come out of a bath, exuding a mature and attractive charm.
Barton sat on the ground and said bitterly, "If we had been a second slower, Nat and I would have been caught!"
Dr. Banner smiled bitterly and did not speak. He had almost transformed just now.
Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Steve was relieved and turned to look around.
There was no one on the slightly empty street. On both sides were man-made wooden houses. There were all kinds of signs hanging outside, and almost all of the existing languages could be seen on them, but most of them were in English.
"Is this Soul Society?" Natasha looked at the signs and felt a strange sense of incongruity.
It was clearly an ancient building structure, but it used all kinds of modern advertising words.
For example, a certain hamburger shop, a certain fast food shop, and even some of them were clearly special signs of the red light district. If they did not know that this was Soul Society, everyone would probably think that this was a vintage street!
"Uh. To be honest, I am very curious about the taste of the pizza here." Peter stared straight at the shop, the tip of his nose twitching slightly, as if he could smell the smell.
When the people next to him heard this, they all showed speechless expressions.
They had just escaped from danger and immediately wanted to eat pizza. How big was this guy's heart?
"This place is called Rukongai"
Little Nemu sat on the edge of a roof, shaking his two white and tender legs, and said lightly, "All the souls that are guided to Soul Society will first live in this place, located in the outermost area of 'Seireitei' where death god lives."
"I heard Lod mention this place."
Frank came out and looked at the houses around him. He said, "Soul Society can be roughly divided into two parts. Among them, Rukongai is the area where souls live after death, and Seireitei is the area where death god and the nobles are located."
"No, there are nobles in the world after death?" Peter showed an exaggerated expression.
"No matter in which world, class is a reality that can not be erased." A touch of anger and helplessness flashed through Frank's eyes, but soon returned to calm and said, "The location where Tony is imprisoned should be in Seireitei, so the most important question for us at present is how to enter Seireitei from Rukongai."
"Uh.. can't just walk in directly."
Constantine pointed to the direction behind them and said with a speechless face, "The architectural style there is completely different from here. It is clean and neat. It is also paved with white tiles. It should be the place where the noble masters live, right?"
The people followed the direction he pointed and turned to look behind.
It turned out that behind the Rukongai where they were located was a clean and bright area. Pieces of white square brick covered the entire ground, and the houses with flying eaves and gray tiles with eastern style were arranged neatly.
Compared to the clean and tidy area, the place they were in was like a slum.
It was only about ten steps away, but it was like two different worlds.
"Wow, we are really lucky!"
Peter shouted in high spirits. Then, he called everyone over and impatiently walked to that area.
"Hey, idiot, stop!"
Nemu, who was sitting by the eaves, saw this scene but her little face changed slightly and she shouted to stop.
"Peter, don't go over, stop!" Steve realized that something was wrong and shouted. Seireitei was the area where death god lived. How could there be no defense?
"Ah?"
After being shouted by the two, Peter stopped just half a step in front of Seireitei.
Suddenly, Spider Sense pulled up the alarm!
Peter looked up at the source of the danger and saw countless white stone tablets that were close to a hundred meters high and weighed hundreds of tons. They were arranged like dominos, falling down from the sky like meteorites.
"My Holy Mother Maria!"
Peter's face was pale, and he was scared out of his wits. He almost ran backwards.
"Everyone, get out of here quickly and prepare for the attack!" Steve's pupils suddenly shrank, and he loudly reminded the others that with the weight and speed of the stone tablets, it would cause a great impact if they fell.
However, the next second, the stone tablets fell to the ground, but did not set off a violent impact as imagined.
The giant stone tablets that weighed hundreds of tons, like goose feathers floating on the lake, fell on the ground as if they were light, completely separating Seireitei and Rukongai, forming a wall like protection device.
"This is... Seireitei?"
Everyone looked at the white stone wall blankly, and the heart was set off by waves.
If those stone tablets had caused such a huge impact when they landed, they might not have felt so shocked, but it was the kind of heavy landing that gave them a shock that overturned common sense.
It was not difficult to control a stone tablet, and humans could barely do it with their current technology.
But controlling thousands of stone tablets at the same time, hundreds of tons and nearly a hundred meters high, with this phenomenon that violated common sense of physics, it was an extremely difficult and even impossible fantasy.
"Don't just focus on daydreaming."
Nemu jumped down from the eaves, patted the dust off her pants, and said, "Our goal is not here. If we stay here for a while longer, the guy in charge of guarding this gate should come."
"The guy in charge of guarding this gate?"
Steve grabbed the key to this and asked, "Do you mean to say that this reason can lead to the door inside?"
"I guess so, but it's best not to have any ideas about this guard." Nemu stood on her tiptoes and raised a finger. She said seriously, "The guard, who is in charge of guarding this Taoist sect, is not a person to be trifled with. I suggest we avoid the battle and choose other ways to enter."
"Since there is a faster method, how can we not try?"
Steve expressed his disapproval and shook his head. "We don't have much time. Of course, we have to choose a more convenient method. Even if we can't, we have to try. At least there is still a glimmer of hope."
"You asked for it."
Nemu's face was a bit strange, as if she was looking at an idiot.
