Chapter 399: The Solution
Knock, knock, knock...
Urgent knocks shattered the quiet afternoon. Led by Izumo, several 11th Division squad members stood tensely outside the Aozaki residence.
They were on full alert, as if bracing for a major confrontation.
Behind them followed several members of the Kidō Corps, each visibly on edge, anxiety written all over their faces.
These were temporary reinforcements from the Kidō Corps—assigned to operate in a group due to the nature of their mission.
If anything unexpected happened, their job was to hold out just long enough for reinforcements to arrive.
They were also expected to sound the alarm at the first sign of danger, to ensure more backup could be dispatched.
As one of Seireitei’s directly governed units, Kidō Corps members rarely engaged in front-line combat.
So they weren’t exactly used to the pace or style of a combat division like the 11th.
"Is anyone home? Please open the door!"
Izumo knocked again, his voice carrying a note of urgency.
Just as he began to worry, the door slowly creaked open.
