Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 193 191. We are partners, aren’t we?

A few days later, people in this world had just celebrated the Beginning of Autumn, and Soul Society, which was still a bit hot, suddenly started to get cooler.

With a pair of clogs on his feet, making a clattering sound on the walkway, Higashino Shuichi arrived at the branch residence of the Tsunayashiro family.

"It seems that you have found the answer~"

Reaching out and throwing bait to the carp in the pond in the courtyard, Tsunayashiro said without even looking back.

"Are you interested in his Zanpakutō abilities?"

Higashino Shuichi stopped not far behind Tsunayashiro Tokinada and said.

Let the cool breeze in the courtyard gently blow up his captain Yuori.

"Looking at your tone, you don't like it?

That's right, if you just look at it from a combat perspective, Yamada Seinosuke's Zanpakutō ability cannot indeed be called strong. Even among the Shinigami who have mastered the swastika in the entire Soul Society, his swastika ability , is definitely the weakest one, and it is completely incomparable to Shuichi's swastika interpretation ability.

However, when looking at a Death God's ability, sometimes we can't just look at how useful it can be in battle, right? "

Tsunayashiro Tokinada grabbed another handful of bait and threw it into the pond farther away.

"It seems that you have already made arrangements for Yamada Seinosuke, but if that's the case, you specifically asked me to find out about it. Why?

Don't tell me, you just want me to see that my past colleagues secretly mastered swastika, or you specifically asked me to find that disgusting place and make me feel disgusted? "

Higashino Shuichi looked at Tsunayashiro Tokinada's back and said.

"Of course not. You are the strongest card in my hand right now. How could I let you do such a meaningless thing?"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada turned around, opened his arms to Higashinohide and said with a smile.

"Then, you'd better give me a justifiable reason. I hope you can understand that Tsunayashiro Tokinada-sama, the relationship between us is not a real superior-subordinate relationship."

Higashino Shuichi's tone was cold.

Generally speaking, this approach will only make the relationship between the two people talking more rigid.

But after such a long period of contact, Higashino Shuichi has basically figured out the character of Tsunayashiro Tokinada, who likes people with a tough attitude.

"Hahaha, yes, Higashino Shuichi, we have never been superiors or subordinates, we are just partners with common ideals!

Do you still remember the goal we set at the beginning? "

Sure enough, facing Higashino Shuichi's dissatisfaction so forcefully, Tsunayashiro Tokinada, instead of showing dissatisfaction, laughed.

"What do you mean?

Do you want to say that this Yamada Seinosuke can help us deal with those in the Zero Division? "

Higashino Shuichi pretended to frown in disbelief.

"Of course not. Even ten Yamada Seinosukes can't help us solve the troubles of Team Zero, but do you still remember the history of Soul Society that I once told you?

Now the entire operation of Soul Society is based on the body of the Soul King that was dismembered by our five noble ancestors.

And this Soul King's body is actually not completely dead. It actually still retains the will of the original Soul King. The current Zero Division is acting in accordance with the Soul King's will! "

When Tsunayashiro Tokinada said these words, his entire facial expression was distorted. It is conceivable that he had complicated feelings about this period of history in his heart.

"so what?"

Higashino Shuichi asked pretending not to understand.

"So, if we want to achieve our ultimate goal, reshape the world and return it to its most primitive state, we must completely erase the remaining will of the Spirit King!"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada looked ferocious.

Higashino Shuichi took a breath, and then after a moment of silence, he slowly asked,

"how do you want to do it?"

Then, Tsunayashiro Tokinada returned to his usual amusing smile, and the veins on his face faded,

"It's very simple, make a substitute for the Spirit King!"

Hearing this, Higashino Shuichi looked shocked on the surface, but actually he was calm inside.

Because Tsunayashiro Tokinada's plan can be said to have not exceeded Higashino Shuichi's previous expectations.

It's really easy to guess what this person is thinking.

He really worked hard for that one goal from beginning to end, and he didn't even plan to change it in the middle.

Higashino Shuichi even suspected that if Tsunayashiro Tokinada had not occupied the identity of one of the five great nobles and received the war dividends, there would be no need for Higashino Shuichi and Aizen to take action, and the old scumbags of the current Gotei 13th Division would , Kyōraku Shunsui, Nirvana Ritsu, including Urahara Kisuke in this world, any one of them can take care of Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

It's a pity that there is no if. Tsunayashiro Tokinada in the original plot just occupies the right time, place and people.

In the current timeline, Tsunayashiro Tokinada also occupies the right time, place, and people.

At this point in time when Aizen doesn't want to cause any more trouble in Soul Society, Tsunayashiro Tokinada can really do whatever he wants as long as he can settle the bad things within his family.

But this is exactly what Hideichi Nakano wants.

After all, he really doesn't have too many substitutes for the Spirit King.

And if the quality of the production is high enough, Higashino Shuichi can even ignore Aizen's thoughts in advance and run to the Shadow Empire to get rid of the unresurrected Yhwach.

You know, the reason why Higashino Shuichi didn't dare to do this before was largely because he was worried that if Yhwach died early, he might change himself and become the monk's first candidate for the Soul King.

That would be more than worth the gain.

"You mean, Yamada Seinosuke's ability can help us create a replacement for the Soul King?"

Although Higashino Shuichi was surprised, he confirmed to Tsunayashiro Tokinada again.

This is in line with the attitude that a Shinigami who only knows this kind of thing should have.

He could also choose to turn red and stutter when speaking, like Yuji Ouch did before.

However, Higashino thought about it and felt that that kind of performance still didn't suit his identity.

After all, he is a machete hunter, and he still needs a little face to kill the ruthless former Lord of Hueco Mundo, Balegon.

"Surprised, right?

With a being like the Soul King, we, the Shinigami, who enjoy the benefits of his power, can actually use our own power to create his substitute. It's incredible, right? "

Tsunayashiro Tokinada enjoyed the ignorant expression on Higashino Shuichi's face. At this moment, he was the master.

"But, Shuichi, the power of the Soul King is actually far less mysterious than you think."

Next, there is a long science popularization session about Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

To be honest, Higashino Shuichi wanted to sleep after hearing this, because they were all dry and hard-core knowledge points, and they were all about the principles of production. This was very difficult for Higashino Shuichi, who did not understand research at all and was not interested in scientific research at all. For me, it is undoubtedly listening to the heavenly book.

If I insist on making a metaphor, then Higashino Shuichi feels that this period of time can be used to compete with his previous life in the university classroom, listening to the professors' lectures.

Anyway, I can’t understand it.

However, Tsunayashiro Tokinada was very familiar with these contents, and introduced each one in great detail, as if he really wanted to teach Higashino Shuichi.

Well, Higashino Shuichi was a little touched, and then he hoped in his heart that it would end soon.

He could feel that Tsunayashiro Tokinada must have secretly accumulated a lot of knowledge in the past for this substitute soul king.

This is not a difficult task for Tsunayashiro Tokinada. After all, he has two powerful weapons, the Great Soul Book Corridor and the Image Hall, plus hundreds of years of meditation. As long as Tsunayashiro Tokinada thinks about it, There is no knowledge in the entire Soul Society that he cannot acquire.

But as the sun and the moon can teach us, Higashino Shuichi has no interest in personally participating in this project.

He really wanted to tell Tsunayashiro Tokinada that not every Shinigami who could fight was called Sosuke Aizen.

Higashino Shuichi is just a better fighter and has higher spiritual pressure, but he really knows nothing about scientific research.

Fortunately, Tsunayashiro Tokinada seemed to realize something in the end, and handed a tape recorder invented by the Technology Development Bureau, which was actually a copy of modern technology, to Higashino Shuichi.

Well, Higashino Shuichi admitted that when he saw this thing, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, his heart was a little ups and downs, and his hands wanted to hit people.

If you had already told me that there was such a thing, why did you keep him talking for so long?

"Give this to Yamada Seinosuke, I believe he will definitely join us after hearing this!

And Shuichi, you can also tell him that as long as he is willing to help us create this Soul King substitute, then I can guarantee him to be the president (dean) of Zhenyang Shiyang Hospital!

This position is much higher than the vice-captain of the Gotei 13th Division!

Moreover, if Yamada Seinosuke is smart enough, he should also know what hidden benefits he can get by becoming the general representative of Zhenyang Pharmacy Academy! "

Tsunayashiro Tokinada said to Higashino Shuichi after Higashino took the tape recorder.

"For example, you can conduct the previous inhumane experiments openly without worrying about being discovered, right?

After all, I heard that the Gotei 13th Division has no right to intervene in any medical accidents that occur within the Zheno Pharmacy Institute, which is directly under the nobles, and will be handed over to the Death Guards, which are directly under the nobles."

"That was in the past. Now, these matters have been legitimately handed over to you, the Sword Hunters, and Xiuichi, you never know how to deal with your own people, do you?"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada showed a meaningful smile.

Looking at Tsunayashiro Tokinada, Higashino Shuichi could not tell whether this result had been conceived in Tsunayashiro Tokinada's mind a long time ago.

A thug and a researcher, the two perform their own duties and cover each other, perfectly carrying out their own ulterior purposes under everyone's eyes.

This was probably Tsunayashiro Tokinada’s original idea, right?

However, in the original plot, Higashino Shuichi did not exist, and Tsunayashiro Tokinada could never find a thug who could take advantage of Soul Society. In the end, he had to settle for the next best thing and choose a perfect person in this world. The magician.

"One of our own?"

Looking at the recorder in his hand, Higashino Shuichi also showed an elusive smile to Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

He did not ask Tsunayashiro Tokinada why this matter must be left to him.

Because the answer is obvious. The current Soul Society is not like the world node where Tsunayashiro Tokinada exerted his power in the original plot. There are high-quality materials available in Soul Society and everywhere in the world, and there are also Aizen and Urahara Kisuke took the lead in giving Tsunayashiro Tokinada a sample and taught him how to make a standard Soul King substitute.

At this point in time, Higashino Shuichi estimates that Tsunayashiro Tokinada thought he was the first person to propose this concept, and the ironclad fact is that before this, whether it was Soul Society , or in this world, no standard replacement for the Spirit King has been born.

The current Higashino Shuichi can only be regarded as a half-baked Soul King replacement, the kind of defective product that will be scrapped after being thrown in for a few decades at most.

Therefore, whether it is due to the progress of the research or the research materials, it is impossible for Tsunaya Tokinada to bypass Higashino Shuichi. To be more precise, just as Higashino Shuichi guessed a few days ago, Tsunaya Dai Tokinada is eyeing the soul transformation project that Higashino Shuichi is working on.

Before the Quincy Empire was exposed and Aizen had not obtained the complete Hōgyoku and created the perfect Arrancar, the batch of transformed souls that Higashino Shuichi had that were about to be completed were undoubtedly the best experimental carrier materials to match Yamada Seinosuke's abilities. .

Just the fact that the transformed souls have human attributes, and the souls are also capable of reshaping, can save a lot of trouble in the subsequent experiments.

And this is something that Seinosuke Yamada cannot do.

This was the conclusion that Higashino Shuichi came to after examining the failed fusion products of Yamada Seinosuke in the different space near Koizumi Izakaya.

Yamada Seinosuke's ability is only a fusion in a purely physical sense, and cannot involve the soul level at all!

This led to the conflict between their souls when he fused the God of Death with Killian in the Void, causing both to be shattered and eventually turned into a pile of scraps irreversibly.

In the original plot, the reason why Yamada Seinosuke was successful, Higashino Shuichi guessed, was probably for two reasons:

One naturally has the technological precedent pioneered by Urahara Kisuke;

The other was due to the use of the brain of Gremy Tomu of the Quincy Knights of the Star Cross as the core, and his special ability to write holy words, and was able to succeed.

But now, neither condition is met.

Therefore, using the modified soul in Higashino Shuichi's hands to perform a tricky operation is the best solution that Tsunayashiro Tokinada can think of, and it is also the one with the highest success rate.

Of course, it is definitely not enough to just rely on the transformation of the soul plus the God of Death and the Hollow.

To become a substitute for the Soul King, the ability of a Quincy is also indispensable.

However, Higashino Shuichi felt that this kind of thing didn't seem to be a difficult thing for Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

Even Tsunayashiro Tokinada might put this issue directly and openly on the table.

After all, to the God of Death, the Quincy in the current world are nothing more than a group of fish on a chopping board that can be killed or not.

But this kind of thing has little to do with Higashino Shuichi.

If things really come to that point, it's not something Higashino Shuichi can resolve with his own strength. At most, he can protect some Quincy who he doesn't want to see die.

As for now

Higashino Shuichi walked out of Tsunayashiro Tokinada's house and looked in the direction of the Fourth Squadron.

After all the preparations were over, it was finally time for him to go to that place for a while.
