Bang!
“Motherfucker!”
Hearing the news that Coulson was heavily injured, Nick Fury flew into a rage, threw away his three-thousand-dollar coffee cup, and strode to the medical room.
As soon as he stepped through the door.
Nick Fury saw Coulson wrapped tightly in bandages like a mummy, with only a pair of eyes exposed, lying motionless on the bed.
“How are you holding up?”
Seeing that Coulson was still alive, Nick Fury breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Despite being the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., with superiors and the Security Council above him and informants planted by others below, there were not many people he could call confidants.
And Coulson happened to be one of them.
If he were to be lost because of this mission, Fury would probably be heartbroken to Death!
“Rest assured, Director.”
Coulson moved his eyeballs and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine, just broke some bones, but the mission failed.”
“Some bones?”
Nick Fury’s expression turned solemn as he comforted him, “Mission failure doesn’t matter. It’s good that you’re alive; there will be opportunities in the future.”
Although Coulson made it sound casual, the actual situation was far more complicated!
On the way to the medical room, Fury had read Coulson’s medical report, and it was simply shocking!
External pressure on his skeletal muscles caused over fifty percent of his bones to break, and several ribs even pierced into his organs, causing severe destructive damage!
Logically speaking, with such severe injuries, Coulson couldn’t possibly have survived, let alone held on until the rescue personnel arrived; he would have died from massive internal bleeding.
However, strangely enough, Coulson was still alive!
It was as if a magical force had protected Coulson’s damaged internal organs and was repairing his injured tissues at an extremely slow speed, allowing him to hold on until the rescue personnel arrived!
A miracle!
With current human science and technology, this could only be called a miracle!
Nick Fury guessed that the reason Coulson didn’t die might be related to that mysterious ‘Shinigami’.
“Get some good rest. I’ll hand the mission over to someone else.” After pacifying Coulson, Nick Fury returned to his office.
Although heavily injured, Coulson had still submitted a report detailing the matter, along with some speculations regarding the ‘Shinigami’.
Nick Fury picked up the report and carefully browsed through it.
Codename: Shinigami
Gender: Male
Age: Between 25 and 30 years old
Appearance features: Short silver hair, blue pupils, East Asian descent (attached with a hand-drawn portrait).
Personality: Relatively mild on the surface, very arrogant inside, and holds disdain and contempt for humans.
Special ability: By chanting specific syllables, he releases a certain magic ability called ‘Kido’, with three types currently known, two of which are binding types and one is an attack type.
Evaluation: Although the target’s appearance is identical to humans, he must never be regarded as the same kind.
Whether asking questions or approaching him, one needs to pay attention to the way of speaking and attitude.
Appendix 1: When the content of the question involved the topic of ‘Hollow’, the target suddenly showed anger and even a hint of panic, claiming it was ‘just an accident’.
Appendix 2: The creature ‘Hollow – Gillian’, with a size of up to about one hundred meters, possessing powerful destructive power, and capable of releasing destructive rays similar to energy weapons from its mouth, has been slain by the ‘Shinigami’ through unknown means.
It has to be said that Coulson could become Fury’s confidant not only because of his absolute loyalty, but his execution capability among all Agent could also be said to be top-notch.
The content of this report alone was enough to prove it!
Nick Fury put down the report, pondered for a moment, and picked up the phone beside him: “Notify Natasha, have her quickly settle what’s on hand and come back. I have a very important mission to give her.”
Seireitei Department Store.
This shop finally had a name, which Lord had personally put up three days ago.
Returning to the shop, Lord did not rest and plunged straight into the warehouse at the back of the shop.
This warehouse came with the shop, covering an area of less than ten square meters.
Moreover, the decoration was old, and the floor would even creak when stepped on, so usually, Lord didn’t put things here.
Walking to the center of the room, Lord squatted down and lifted a relatively new-colored piece of flooring, revealing a strikingly deep cavity.
Without hesitation, Lord leaped straight down from the cavity.
After dozens of seconds of falling, Lord’s vision suddenly opened up, arriving in a huge, open environment.
Around here were undulating rock formations, lush green vegetation, and a steaming hot spring.
It could be called an excellent environment, no less than some tourist attractions.
This was the gold card Lord had drawn—Kisuke Urahara’s playground, the place where Yoruichi Shihouin and Kurosaki ichigo cultivated Bankai in Soul Society in the original work.
But Lord did not stop, instead heading straight in one direction using Shunpo to arrive before a huge cave.
This cave was located on the ground, with a diameter of about five meters and a vertical drop of nearly one hundred meters.
The surrounding rock walls were extremely smooth, without any protruding points or tools available for climbing.
“Ahhhh—”
“No, don’t—”
Standing outside the cave, one could faintly hear people calling for help in pain below.
Lord leaped down from the top of the cave, arriving at the very bottom of the cave.
At the bottom-most layer of the cave, the light had almost completely disappeared, leaving only pure darkness, and complete silence.
Under this special claustrophobic environment, it was enough to drive a person mad alive!
Although the environment here was very dark, Lord, who was already a Shinigami, was completely unaffected by these things.
A blonde youth with his limbs bound was lying on the ground like a corpse.
It is worth noting.
At the chest of this blonde youth, there was an extending chain, but the lock part at the very front had been severed.
That was the Chain of Karma, which connected the Soul and flesh while a person was alive, and would disappear after a person died.
But if the Chain of Karma was forcibly severed by external force, then the Soul would suffer ‘erosion’ from the chain!
Ultimately, there were only two endings left for the Soul:
Either, become a Shinigami.
Or, become a Hollow.
“Save, save me—”
The moment the blonde youth saw Lord, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but it immediately turned into indescribable terror!
This man was named Mori-san, the boss of the Tianlong Gang wiped out by Lord.
During his lifetime, he dealt drugs, robbed, and killed without committing any crime he wouldn’t do.
Like other members of the Tianlong Gang, after his Soul was forcibly dragged out by Lord and the Chain of Karma on his chest was severed, he was locked up beneath this cave named ‘Abyss of Despair’.
Souls in the Abyss of Despair would eventually gradually degenerate into a ‘Hollow’ as time passed!
That previous Hollow was born from the Abyss of Despair.
It was an inferior product fused together after hundreds of Plus Souls degenerated, fought, and devoured each other.
“I beg you!”
Mori-san cried and shouted, kneeling on the ground and pleading with Lord: “I don’t want to turn into that kind of monster. Please save me!”
But unfortunately.
Although Lord had pity, he would not abuse it on such people.
Anyway, people like this were a waste alive; it was better that after dying, they made some contribution to him.
Humans are born bearing a certain value.
In Lord’s eyes, the value of these scumbags was to become his test subjects.
