Chapter 222: Enrakyōten

The large red "ALERT" on the screen finally stopped flashing, and the deafening alarms echoing through the underground research facility came to an abrupt halt.
Kisuke Urahara looked up and let out a long breath, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
"Lucky me. Everything important is intact. Good thing I had the foresight to store my experimental data and research separately," he muttered to himself.
"Mayuri Kurotsuchi-san, how about you? Did you lose anything valuable?"
"Hmph, I'm not the director. I don't have the luxury of a special storage space for my research," Mayuri scoffed, showing no sign of distress or concern. Instead, he sneered dismissively.
"It doesn't matter. I didn't have anything valuable here anyway—all my research is still in its early stages."
"Even if the data was stolen, it wouldn't matter?"
"It would be completely useless."
"In that case, things aren't as bad as they could've been."
Kisuke's expression grew a bit more serious as he analyzed the situation.
