Nanao was stunned and extremely bothered about the piece of paper but she didn't have time to say anything when the Magic Circle that Serafall conjured widened after Kisuke came in to assist her.
"Yosh~! It's connected! Ki-tan, make sure not to lose it." Serafall raised her voice as Kisuke was stunned by the aura coming from the other side.
'What is this?' Kisuke asked himself, incredibly bothered, 'This is the old monk's? But something is different.'
Kisuke turned to Mayuri and said, "Kurotsuchi-san, please clear the room."
Mayuri didn't say anything and urged the seated Captains to stand up before taking out a remote control and pressing several buttons in sequence on it.
Immediately after, the tables, chairs, and other furniture started dissolving and disappeared among the cracks of the floor making the already spacious room wider.
A few seconds later, several individuals started appearing on the Magic Circle and they were the people who initiated an attack on Hell minus the members of the Zero Division.
"Where is this...?" The Lieutenant of the 8th Division, Yuyu Yayahara, muttered but she immediately caught sight of Shunsui and straightened up, "C-Captain Commander!?"
"I see. So you guys have returned. I'd like to hear what happened down there but..." Shunsui peeked at Serafall and the latter immediately said, "Yep. Move it. There's another batch coming."
Shunsui's heart immediately jumped at her words. Shunsui then turned to Mayuri and instructed, "Kurotsuchi, brief everyone on the situation. I'll leave the details of the operation to you but beware..."
As soon as Shunsui referred to him, Mayuri already started walking towards the exit and interrupted the former's warning, "I know. They may have attacked at a convenient time, but the fact they took action meant that they are confident enough to take on the Gotei 13 at its full strength."
After the effect of the Teleportation Circle subsided, the members of the Gotei 13 finally felt what was going on outside and immediately concluded that there's a large-scale battle happening outside.
"...What in the world happened during this short amount of time?" Toushirou muttered while gritting his teeth and his Reiatsu flaring up.
Without turning around, Mayuri answered him, "That's what I intend to brief you people about. We don't have time so follow me. That includes you, Hirako, Soifon."
Shinji and Soifon looked at each other. They wanted to hear more about Kisuke's situation, but their duties came first.
Soon enough, everyone except for Shunsui, Nanao, Kisuke, and Serafall remained in the room.
"Next group is coming!" Serafall raised her voice. The next moment, the 'dead' members of the Gotei 13 made their appearance.
"...Old man... Juushiro... Everyone..." Shunsui already prepared himself when he heard there was a next batch but he was still visibly shaken. Nanao, on the other hand, was stunned silent and could only cover her mouth at the moment.
"Hooh..." Yamamoto gave him a gentle look while rubbing his beard, "In just a short decade, you've grown visibly older."
The stunned Shunsui was worried that he was not the same old man that he knew and admired but with just those few words, he could finally sigh in relief, "I don't know how you managed to do this job for so long."
"...Err... Excuse me. As you know, you guys are not the only ones that have to go through it. Please move it." Serafall, with an obvious hint of anger in her voice, addressed them, "You can have your happy reunion later."
"Ohoho, my bad." Yamamoto chuckled while moving to the side, "We can't have those young ladies waiting, can we?"
The others also swiftly got off the Magic Circle but what caught Kisuke's attention was Batsu'unsai who's covered in wounds and being assisted by Furoufushi to walk, 'Those wounds don't look good just judging from their color. I guess it wasn't easy to go against the [Shinigami Killer].'
It didn't take long for the Magic Circle to shine again and this time, it was Kunou, Tanis, and the unconscious Claire.
"Hmmm? Where's the sword guy?" asked Serafall.
Kunou gave Claire a quick check before answering, "He said that he can't leave the lab."
"What? But there's no way to protect that place in the current situation."
Kisuke's eyes immediately sharpened and thought, 'It looks like what's happening is not simple if even she's saying that.'
Kisuke was not so sure of the situation but he knows what he has to do, "Sera-chan, keep the gateway open. I'm sending a telepathic message to Ouetsu-san."
Serafall just nodded and poured her Demonic Power into the Magic Circle, "But since Ku-chan stopped supporting the other side, I can only keep it up for a minute or two."
"That's enough." Kisuke retracted his Magic Power and used it to initiate a communication Magic, [Ouetsu-san, can you hear me?]
[This voice, Urahara boy?]
[It's I.]
[Urahara, I know what you're thinking, but there's so much of our work here. I don't want to just discard it.]
[I still don't know what exactly is happening but at my lab extension, the wall on the right and exactly 3.5 meters from the corner, there's a hollow spot 2.4 meters from the floor. Break it and you should see a tiny button behind it. That button will initiate an emergency transport module that I prepared and should bring the entire lab, workshop, and you to another space that I control.]
[...Damn... You really are prepared. Got it. You should hear the situation from the girly. It's really a mess here.]
Immediately after, Kisuke disconnected the Magic and signed to Serafall that he's done.
Serafall also hurriedly closed the Magic Circle and only then was she able to breathe a sigh of relief, "We got out for now, but we don't have time to rest."
"So, what exactly happened? I can feel Hyousube-san's aura from the other side."
"I'm also not sure but the black monk suddenly became insane and grew a pair of fly wings. Immediately after, probably millions of worms started breaking out of the ground." Serafall and the girls were visibly recoiling while describing the scenery, "But the biggest problem is that they started chewing on the boundary of the space itself. If I were to make any assumptions, those worms would soon reach this place or the Human World."
