Nishikawa was stunned by Naraku Sora's words.
It was the first time he had heard such a request. Usually, when others encountered similar situations, they would avoid it like the plague.
Yet this kid wanted to take full responsibility with a look of excitement on his face.
'Did his brain get impacted by Reiatsu?'
Nishikawa looked at the young man before him with a strange expression, wondering if he should take him to the Squad 4 barracks for a check-up.
However, seeing how energetic he looked, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with him.
As an honest man, Nishikawa thought for a moment and said seriously, "Recently, aside from those two Adjuchas, a group of rebels was indeed brought in."
"They falsely used the name of the Gotei to carry out slaughter, acting recklessly in the Rukongai, and even killed Soul Reapers from Squad 11 who went to patrol."
Naraku Sora frowned. Why did this sound so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before?
"In the end, it was Lord Gokuyu who led the Soul Reapers to the Rukongai to arrest them all."
Speaking of this, Nishikawa suddenly thought of something and added, "Gokuyu is equivalent to the Vice-Warden of our Shino Prison, with authority second only to Lord Shutara."
"However..."
He suddenly lowered his voice, checking his surroundings before continuing to explain.
"Compared to Lord Shutara's personality, Lord Gokuyu can be said to be quite dangerous."
"You'd best pray you don't get targeted by him."
Naraku Sora revealed a confused look.
"You'll understand later." Nishikawa adjusted the Zanpakutō at his waist and signaled, "Since you volunteered, come with me."
"It's a good opportunity to learn the specific detention process of Shino Prison."
The two walked up along the corridor, temporarily leaving the Reviving Hell.
Taking advantage of this gap, Naraku Sora focused his attention on the system panel.
After successfully completing his first suppression, all his abilities had improved, much faster than when he was studying at the Academy.
[Name: Naraku Sora]
[Reiatsu: Grade 12]
[Kendo: LV24]
[Hakuda: LV26]
[Flash Step: LV22]
[Kidō: LV25]
[Hollow Power: 2%]
Judging solely from the panel, his various stats were quite balanced, and his Reiatsu had just touched the threshold of a high-ranking seated officer.
The only thing that gave Naraku Sora a toothache was that Hollow Power.
Although it was a measly two percent, it was enough to cause a qualitative change in his combat power to a certain extent.
After all, in this world, hybrids were king; the more mixed you were, the stronger you were.
The only thing to worry about was whether he would hollowfy on the spot and completely lose his identity as a Soul Reaper if the Hollow Power reached one hundred percent.
But these weren't things a small jailer like him should be considering right now.
'Instead of agonizing over this, I might as well think about how to go to the pier and get some fries.'
Just as Naraku Sora was attempting to think, Nishikawa led him to a place called the Detention Room.
"This is the Detention Room, generally used to temporarily hold those sinners who haven't been sentenced yet."
Nishikawa pointed to the cages in the spacious room and explained:
"Of course, monsters like Great Hollows are not something we can deal with; they are usually handled by Lord Shutara personally."
"These rebels were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three hundred to five hundred years in the Black Rope Hell for crimes such as attacking Gotei Soul Reapers and causing chaos in the Rukongai. They were also stripped of more than half of their spiritual power."
"As for whether they can last until the end of their sentence, that's unknown."
Although it sounded cruel, Nishikawa's expression remained unusually peaceful from beginning to end, as if he were stating a trivial matter.
Having been a jailer for too long, he had seen all kinds of sinners.
That little bit of sympathy had long been crushed to dust under the wheels of time.
Naraku Sora discovered a blind spot: "Stripped of half their spiritual power?"
Nishikawa nodded, walked straight to one of the sinners, and drew the Zanpakutō from his waist.
The clear cry of the blade instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Watch closely and learn well," Nishikawa said in a deep voice. "In the future, you will also be responsible for stripping sinners of their spiritual power. If you don't control the degree well, you will be punished by Lord Shutara."
He held the hilt in a reverse grip and drove it straight into the sinner's abdomen.
Accompanied by a surge of Reiatsu, a particularly striking character for "Seal" appeared in the corresponding position.
" The Hakusui (Soul Sleep), as the source of a Soul Reaper's spiritual power generation, only needs to be sealed with Kidō to strip away their spiritual power."
"If it is destroyed, the Soul Reaper will gradually lose their spiritual power and completely become a soul without any power."
"Corresponding to this is the Saketsu (Chain Binding), which acts as a spiritual power booster."
While speaking, Nishikawa delivered another hilt strike, hitting the center of the sinner's chest.
"With the Saketsu sealed, he won't have a single bit of spiritual power left."
"However, Kidō seals have a time limit, so they must be reinforced every so often. Once neglected, it could lead to a disaster."
Naraku Sora frowned. "Then why not directly destroy these two locations?"
Hearing this, Nishikawa shot the young man a concerned look.
"You kid, you don't think Shino Prison is letting them come here for a vacation, do you?"
"You have to realize that from the first level to the eighth level, there are different degrees of punishment. If they completely lost their Soul Reaper powers, it wouldn't take long for these guys to die inside."
The rebel Soul Reaper, stripped of his power, knelt on the ground, staring hideously at the man in front of him.
If looks could kill, Nishikawa would have died hundreds of times over.
"Running dog of Central 46..."
"Bakudō #1: Sai!"
Before the meaningless curses could be finished, Nishikawa skillfully sealed his mouth.
Obviously, he was long accustomed to the reactions of this group.
Naraku Sora looked thoughtful.
"Alright, since you want to take over, you will be responsible for escorting them."
Nishikawa sheathed his sword and clapped his hands to signal. "Leave learning the sealing Kidō for later. Start with this guy first."
He pointed to the sinner kneeling at his feet.
Naraku Sora didn't waste words either. He walked straight up and cast a Binding Way #4, the red rope-like light firmly binding the sinner.
Then, under the gaze of the crowd, he dragged the rope and left the Detention Room.
He went down the corridor and passed through the Reviving Hell.
Only when wailing and cursing reached his ears did the Black Rope Hell formally come into view.
In this hell, jailers used hot iron ropes to bind the bodies of sinners, sawing or chopping them.
The scene was cruel to the extreme, just like a real hell.
The sinner, who originally had a ferocious face, had his eyes widen into perfect circles upon seeing this scene. His legs trembled, and his body couldn't stop collapsing downward.
He perfectly interpreted what it meant to be a pile of mud.
Naraku Sora was also a bit unaccustomed to the scene before him. He picked up the sinner beside him and hurried to stuff him into an empty cell.
A black light screen appeared at just the right time.
[Successfully suppressed sinner Morita Nijushichiro. Sin Value: 111. Participation: 5%!]
Looking at the text above, Naraku Sora's expression instantly calmed down.
