Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 2 2. Ridiculous trial

Soul Society, Seireitei, Central Room 46.

In the past thousands of years, countless trials have been held here, and today is no exception.

On the stage were forty sages and six judges sitting on the table.

Beside the stage were Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the captain of the Gotei 13th Division, Higashino Shuichi, the deputy captain of the 4th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, the captain of the 8th Division, and Rokusha Kensai, the captain of the 9th Division.

Under the stage was a lonely Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

To be honest, Higashino Shuichi felt that the battle in front of him was a bit too much.

It is not surprising that Captain Yamamoto appears here. Basically, this captain will attend every trial in the 46th Central Room. This is also the reason why the 46 judges on the stage dare to conduct trials.

It’s not surprising that the captain of the ninth division, Rokukar Kennishi, appeared here. After all, after the incident, it was the captain of the prison team who led the team to arrest Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

But when Kyōraku Shunsui appeared here, Higashino Shuichi couldn't understand it.

No, is it really necessary for you, the captain of the intelligence team, to appear in this trial meeting?

Well, this question can only be buried in Higashino Shuichi's heart, at least he will not directly ask Kyoraku Shunsui himself.

But soon, as the trial progressed, Higashino Shuichi knew the reason.

Seeing Tsunayashiro Tokinada's murderous eyes towards Kyoraku Shunsui, Higashino Shuichi could only silently give Kyoraku Shunsui a thumbs up in his heart.

"Brother, you are so brave!"

It turned out that Tsunayashiro Tokinada had been found innocent through negotiations with the Tsunayashiro family, and Rokusha Kennishi was already preparing to release him. However, Kyōraku Shunsui filed a complaint with him in the 46th Central Room. Over there, it was now the turn of the Central Room 46 to start having a headache.

Do you want to give face to the Tsunayashiro family, one of the five great nobles?

Want to give!

Captain of the Eighth Division of the Gotei Thirteenth Division, the current number one in the Soul Society, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's proud disciple, do you want to give Kyōraku Shunsui some face?

Give it too!

Well, no matter which one you choose, you will offend the other side.

So there was this trial that was neither fishy nor fishy in Higashino's eyes.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada was brought here and the charges were laid, but listen to those charges,

"Involuntary manslaughter" and "excessive defense".

All of them are charges that avoid the serious and trivial, and none of them are based on the pain points.

However, one of the sages on the stage revealed to Kyoraku Shunsui with an extremely aggrieved look that they had tried their best.

But in the end, Tsunayashiro Tokinada was only fined to be banned from home for five hundred years, or the execution was deferred for half a year.

It was said to give Tsunayashiro Tokinada a buffer time to hand over the work at hand.

Other punishments such as compensation were not mentioned at all.

Even a time-traveler like Higashino Shuichi who thinks his moral standards are not high, feels it is a bit too much.

This kind of penalty is even worse than no penalty, at least it can leave an illusion in the minds of others.

Sure enough, after hearing the result, Higashino Shuichi looked at Kyōraku Shunsui aside and found that the latter's eyes were full of disappointment.

"If Kyōraku Shunsui was not born into the superior noble Kyōraku family, I'm afraid he would follow Aizen without hesitation, right?"

Higashino Shuichi thought with enlightenment.

As a Shinigami with a sense of justice in his heart, Kyoraku Shunsui Mirai is indeed a person full of contradictions.

But most people were confused by his cynical appearance.

It can be said that in Higashino's first glance, the trial in Central Room 46 was a complete failure. It seemed that the demands of both sides were taken into account, but in fact he offended both sides.

And the members of the Central Room 46 seemed to have no such self-awareness. After the trial, they ordered the captain of the ninth division, Rokusha Kennishi, to take Tsunayashiro Tokinada out and announce this to the entire Seireitei. The verdict is to demonstrate the justice of their central forty-six rooms.

Following Liuche Quanxi all the way, when Higashino saw the man below who clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, but was blind, Higashino understood in an instant.

He had misunderstood Aizen before.

Aizen's intention in asking him to come over was not to prevent possible accidents during the trial, but for this man's sake.

"Dong Xian Yao"

In the original plot, Aizen should have personally come forward to recruit Tosen Kaname, but now that Aizen has a useful subordinate like Higashino Shuichi, he naturally does not need to show up in person.

That would only increase his risk of exposure.

The reason why Aizen mentioned the past to Higashino Shuichi last night was most likely because he wanted Higashino Shuichi to recall his original intention, so that he could see his past self in Tōsen Kaname.

In this way, even if Aizen doesn't say anything explicitly, Higashino Shuichi will recruit Tosen for him.

In this way, Aizen still maintained his usual mysterious, powerful and aloof persona in front of Higashino Shuichi.

"sharp."

After thinking about all this, Higashino Shuichi had to sigh silently in his heart.

It is indeed the intellectual ceiling in the entire Shinigami world. If he hadn't had the advantage of foresight, he might have been fooled by Aizen.

While Higashino Shuichi was thinking, Rokusha Kensai also announced the result of this trial to everyone.

Looking at the ordinary shinigami who were cheering without knowing the truth, Higashino Shuichi shook his head awkwardly.

They didn't even notice that Rukuka Kennishi left with the members of the ninth team after the announcement, leaving only Tsunayashiro Tokinada who was completely free again.

Yes, this is completely outrageous in Higashino Shuichi's view.

Even if it is a suspended sentence, there should be some personal restrictions on Tsunayashiro Tokinada, right?

If that doesn't work, it's okay to have someone monitor me, right?

Unfortunately, the above is all fantasy.

Reality is still magical.

However, not everyone failed to notice this.

Although Tōsen Kaname had no eyesight, it also gave him an additional ability to perceive spiritual power. In his other field of vision, he stared at Tsunayashiro Tokinada who had not left.

And Tsunayashiro Tokinada obviously also knew Tosen Kaname, his former wife and Utamasu's best friend.

I saw him walking towards Dongxian Key unhurriedly.

The latter asked him why he wanted to kill Ge Kuang, but he arrogantly showed off his "accomplishments" in the past few days to Dongxian.

Among them, he focuses on describing his disdain for his wife Ge Kuang.

Whether it was Utamaro's kindness or Utamaro's dream of a world without disputes and full of love and care, they were worthless in the eyes of Tsunayashiro Tokinada, and even made him feel a little nauseous.

In the end, he even used his own hands to put the fist that Dong Xian was tightly clinging onto his neck.

"Let's do it. As long as you wave your arm gently now, you can avenge your best friend, my wife Ge Kuang. However, which one is more important, Ge Kuang's dream? Or is revenge for her more important?"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada looked at Tosen Kaname's unfocused eyes and smiled ferociously.

Is he betting on whether Dongxian will take action?

Higashino Shuichi, who was watching all this from a distance, shook his head.

He knew that this was just because Tsunayashiro Tokinada didn't care at all. He didn't care about his own life at all. As long as he could please himself, it was just his life. If he lost it, he would lose it.

In contrast, Tsunayashiro Tokinada wanted to see Tosen Kaname's painful struggle.

Ever since Tsunayashiro Tokinada took the initiative to place the shallow fist on his neck, his goal had been achieved. No matter what the outcome was, he didn't care.

However, fate was still on his side. Dongxian hesitated for a long time, but in the end he still did not choose to kill Qianda.

It was clear that he could avenge Ge Kuang with just one blow, but as soon as he thought of Ge Kuang's dream of love and peace, he did not have the courage to swing the knife.

"If I continue to swing and meet Ge Kuang after death, I won't be able to see her."

Dongxian is going to be in pain.

But his pain caused Tsunayashiro Tokinada's madness.

The latter began to attack him repeatedly with fists, elbows, and knees, hoping that he would fight back.

But Dongxian Yao never resisted and just endured all this silently.

It wasn't until Tsunayashiro Tokinada was tired from playing and looking at the dying Tosen Kaname on the ground that he finally lost interest.

"Since you insist on that disgusting dream so much, then go and accompany Ge Kuang!"

After leaving such words, Tsunayashiro Tokinada turned around and left.

A mere civilian was not worthy of being executed by himself.

The nearby retainers of their Tsunayashiro family are enough to complete this matter.

But when things got to this point, it was finally time for Higashino Shuichi to appear.

"The sixty-two steps of the binding path, the hundred-step railing!"

Dozens of bright white light rods suddenly appeared from mid-air and fell, stopping all the Shinigami who tried to approach Dongxian Fortress.

"Vice Captain Higashino?!"

One of the Shinigami recognized Higashino Shuichi's identity.

"Although I don't know what just happened, this is the Seireitei. The appearance of a civilian here is already revealing something fishy, ​​not to mention that he is holding a shallow weapon of unknown origin in his hand, so this person cannot be used for the time being. If something goes wrong, I need to take him to the 10th Division for interrogation, are there any questions?"

Higashino Shuichi fell between Tōsen Kaname and those Shinigami, and his spiritual pressure expanded slightly, completely blocking those people's thoughts of sneak attacks.

"But he is Tsunayashiro." One of the Shinigami wanted to argue, but Higashino Shuichi glared back.

"I have never heard of a noble being able to arbitrarily decide a person's life or death without trial. Not even the Forty-Six Central Chambers have this power."

Higashino Shuichi is not making this up, because in principle, it is true, but in execution, when the target is a noble and the victim is a civilian, the big issue will be reduced to a trivial matter.

But if we put it on the table, there is no way to really do this, just like Yu Kyoraku Shunsui reported Tsunayashiro Tokinada's behavior this time.

In the end, those Shinigami who were stopped could only grit their teeth and watch as Higashino Shuichi took Tōsen away for simple treatment.

As for the first stop to be taken away, naturally it cannot be the 10th Division, which is responsible for the safety of civilians, but the deputy captain's lounge of his 4th Division.

Here, Higashino Shuichi saw Sosuke Aizen who had been waiting for a long time.
