This system is kind of weird

Penitence Palace·Outside the Deep Prison No. 4.

Kuchiki Rukia and Hanataro sat slumped on the ground, looking at Aizen holding the Honyu with horrified expressions.

They were not scared out of their wits, but...

Can't move!

The spiritual pressure that Aizen exuded unconsciously made the two people standing next to him feel weak. Don't talk about moving, they couldn't even make a sound!

Monster~~!

The sudden change made Rukia Kuchiki completely confused about what happened, let alone what Captain Aizen took from her body...

But one thing, she is sure of!

That is...

The person in front of her was not the kind, gentle and kind Captain Aizen she remembered.

"Are you curious what this is?"

Aizen suddenly chuckled, as if he had seen through Lucia's thoughts, and said: "After solving your doubts, I will send you to death. For people like you, it can reduce a lot of unwillingness before death." The words.

Suddenly, Aizen turned his gaze to the bottom of the rope bridge.

"Just in time, the person who saved you has arrived."

The person who saved me?

Rukia Kuchiki was startled when she heard this. Before she could figure out what Aizen meant, a captain-level spiritual pressure emerged without any warning.

This spiritual pressure made Rukia Kuchiki feel extremely familiar, but this familiarity also made Rukia Kuchiki have a look of disbelief on her face.

How is that possible!?

Whoosh~~

Amidst the sound of breaking through the air, a figure rushed out from the abyss under the rope bridge and landed on the rope bridge.

"Ichi...Ichigo?"

Kuchiki Rukia asked with a somewhat uncertain tone.

It wasn't that she couldn't recognize Kurosaki Ichigo, but the spiritual pressure on Kurosaki Ichigo at this moment was completely different from what she remembered, as if he was a different person.

After Kurosaki Ichigo stood still, he did not answer Kuchiki Rukia's words, but put away the wing-shaped spiritual tool in his hand, and then leaned over to check the status of the rock eagle.

Not optimistic~

Although I don’t know any skills such as Hui Dao, I have never seriously studied medical skills.

But because he often helped in the clinic at home, he could barely tell that Yanjiu was in extremely bad condition at this time, and he must receive treatment as soon as possible!

"Hanataro, I leave the rock vulture to you."

After Kurosaki Ichigo finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he had two people in his arms. It was Rukia Kuchiki and Hanataro who were still beside Aizen before. The scene in front of him suddenly changed.

Both of them couldn't help but look confused.

Aizen in front of the Confession Palace seemed not to have seen Ichigo Kurosaki take the two of them away, but just stood there with a slight smile on his face.

"After fighting Zaraki Kenpachi, did you actually regain your ability to move so quickly?"

Aizen chuckled and shook his head: "However, a vitality that is completely inconsistent with the strength is obviously not a good thing in this situation. If you had not come here, you would not have sadly died here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurosaki Ichigo, who had brought Rukia Kuchiki and the two to Iwajiu, his pupils suddenly expanded.

Phew~~~

Blood spurted out from Kurosaki Ichigo's back like a fountain.

A huge knife wound almost tore his entire back. Before he could put down the Lucia and Hanataro he had brought back, he fell forward!

Got yourself stabbed?

Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes were filled with confusion.

Completely unaware!

The last time I had this feeling was when I was fighting Byakuya Kuchiki in this world.

So familiar...

Originally, he thought that after this period of training and the strength he had gained from successive battles after coming to Soul Society, he was no longer weaker than the so-called captain.

But reality slapped him hard.

No resistance!!

Is he really the same captain as Kenpachi Zaraki?

Plop~~!

Amidst the muffled sound, Kurosaki Ichigo fell into a pool of blood.

"Ichigo!!"

This scene made both Rukia and Hanatarou change their expressions.

"I admire your courage."

Aizen slowly walked towards a few people and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo who was shaking on the ground as if he was struggling to stand up: "But from the moment I changed my plan, you have nothing to me.

It’s valuable.”

"Of course, as an audience, you can still play some role."

Value? Audience?

Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes were full of doubts. He was certain that he had never seen this person before, but judging from the information revealed in his words, this middle-aged man with glasses seemed to be very familiar with him.

"According to my original plan, you who came to rescue Rukia Kuchiki after receiving orders from Urahara Kisuke should have been of great value in helping me attract the Seireitei's attention."

"In this way, even if one captain dies, it won't cause too much commotion.".

"It's just that this plan was disrupted before it even started." Aizen shook his head, not knowing what he thought of, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled: "But in a way, the plan

It was successful, but I was not the one who faked death."

"Do you mean Dong Xian wants it?"

A voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.

Following the sound, I saw a slightly dark-skinned figure appearing quietly in front of Kurosaki Ichigo and others.

This figure is clearly...

One night at Sifengyuan!

She was like a ghost, quietly appearing in front of Kurosaki Ichigo and others, but Kurosaki Ichigo and others were unaware of it.

"That's right."

Aizen smiled slightly: "When I met the boss Duan Mu in the 46th room of the Mao, I had already decided that Dong Xian would 'die' in the 46 room of the Mao."

Duan Mu?

This name made the four people present look strange.

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Aizen, somewhat confused by the meaning of the conversation between the two.

"He is indeed a very interesting person."

Aizen looked at Yoruichi and continued: "At first, in my eyes, he was just an ordinary person with some talent, but... when I saw him coming to attack the 46th room of Mao, I was suddenly attracted to him.

Interested."

"I don't know what Duan Mu told you, but with his character, if he attacks the 46th House of Zhenyang, he must have determined that all 46th House of Zhenyang will be killed by me!"

"And you know what's the funniest thing?"

Aizen paused for a moment, with a look of inquiry on his face: "Although he has fought with Tosen Kaname under the prying eyes of you and Urahara Kisuke, he has never seen Tosen Kaname's 'Swastika'.

After he fell into my mirror, he was already prepared in advance to deal with Dong Xian's swastika."

"Even, know my mirror flowers and moon."

When Aizen said the last thing, he couldn't help but recall the battle between Mao and Duan Mu in front of Room 46. At that time, Duan Mu was in disbelief for a moment after being hit by his own knife, but the next second he was stunned.

From beginning to end...

He didn't even feel scared because of his mirror image.

He didn't feel confused about his appearance there.

The most important thing is...

Before forcing his way into Room 46, he had already prepared his backup plan.

Whether it's Unohana Retsu's actions or Ohmaeda and other vice-captains' secret investigations...

They all gave Aizen a feeling, that is...

Before he forced his way into Mao's No. 46 room, he seemed to have confirmed that he was the one who massacred Mao's No. 46 room.

While Duan Mu was in the intensive care unit of Division 4, Aizen recalled everything about Duan Mu.

Coming to Soul Society, entering Seireitei for the first time, and invading Hueco Mundo...

Aizen discovered many things that he had not paid attention to originally, but when he thought about them again, they all revealed a strangeness.

His vigilance towards him can be explained by Urahara Kisuke telling him what happened a hundred years ago, but whether it was the invasion of Hueco Mundo or the forced entry into Room 46... it is difficult to explain it with Urahara Kisuke.

Of course, it's not completely unexplainable.

It was the first time Duanmu went to Hueco Mundo for a commission from the Golden Seal Society. There was nothing strange about this. The only strange thing was seeing through Aronillo's identity, but this could also be explained by the fact that he was very familiar with the Shiba family.

Duanmu invaded Hueco Mundo for the second time. When he invaded Hueco Mundo, it was when Captain Unohana of the Fourth Division was holding a flower arrangement party. He grasped the timing very well, as if he was deliberately waiting for this opportunity, but barely.

It can be explained by coincidence.

However……

While Duan Mu was lying in the intensive care unit, he found out one thing from the members of the Fourth Division, that is, during the flower arrangement party, Duan Mu asked the members of the Fourth Division to report to him everything about the captain and deputy captain present.

information.

Of course, what he requested was the list of all captains and vice-captains present, and he did not reveal who he wanted to 'pay attention to'.

There are also things like: the inexplicable vigilance of Seireitei, the defense in Mao's 46th room after returning, ordering the supervision team to pay attention to Kuchiki Rukia, and forcing their way into Mao's 46th room...

Even before Duan Mu performed these actions, he had appropriate reasons that would not arouse suspicion.

But when Aizen thoroughly investigates Duan Mu's trajectory in the Seireitei, hypnotizes the people he comes into contact with, and finally puts the investigated information together...

What Duan Mu did can no longer be explained by the word 'coincidence'.

This made him completely give up on his original idea of ​​using double execution to remove the jade from Lucia's body, and instead asked Captain Yamamoto to recast the ten-layer barrier of Mao's Forty-sixth Chamber in the name of protecting the Forty-sixth Chamber of Mao.

Because he had a feeling that if he continued to wait, he would most likely not be able to get Bengyu in his hands.

"After designing Tōsen to 'die', I asked him to stay in the Great Soul Scroll Corridor, which is 'forcibly collecting all things and information in Soul Society', and to look up all of Urahara Kisuke's research materials in Soul Society for me."

"And I act as bait to attract those who have doubts about me."

"In order to make this operation smoother..."

Aizen smiled at Yoichi: "I also worked hard to help Miss Yoichi land near the 9th District. It's really not easy to do this without being noticed by Miss Yoichi."

"Fortunately, it was successful. As long as you fall near him, judging from Boss Duan Mu's past experience, it is impossible for him not to come into contact with you; and you learned from him that all the forty-six rooms are dead.

, is the most suitable person to contact other captains.”

"Whether it's your identity or your past status. Whatever you say, even if Ukitake Jūshirō and Kyōraku Shunsui don't believe it, they will definitely take action."

"And I only need to reveal some flaws at the right time to make them more convinced that there is something wrong with me, and then I can easily lead them to the forty-sixth room of Mao."

Ye Yi listened quietly, her face not changing much.

Because when she discovered Aizen appeared in the confession palace, she already had an ominous premonition in her heart, and now it has just come true.

"Although the action was a bit hasty, just like Duan Mu's distrust of Seireitei, Seireitei never trusted him from the beginning to the end."

"Because he was worried that Duan Mu would take the opportunity to cause trouble during the invasion of cargo, Captain Yamamoto imprisoned him in the ninth district on the pretext of entrustment, which actually made my plan go more smoothly."

Having said this, Aizen looked up and glanced into the distance:

"When recasting the ten barriers outside the forty-sixth building, Captain Yamamoto left his own spiritual pressure in them. Once an intruder appears, he will be immediately noticed. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have arrived at Mao Forty-Six by now.

It’s room six.”

Buzz~~

At this moment, a heavy breath suddenly appeared out of thin air, pressing on everyone present.

Yoruichi raised his head and looked in the direction where the breath came from, and saw a petite figure appearing at the top of the confession palace behind Aizen.

Almost at the same time as she looked, the figure disappeared from the top of the tower. When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Aizen. His eyes swept over Kurosaki Ichigo and others, and finally fell on Yoruichi.

"We haven't seen each other for so long. Have you fallen into trouble?"

"Four, maple, courtyard, night, one!"

There was no calmness or coldness on Suiyu's face. After calling out Ye Yi's full name word for word, her face revealed a sarcastic tone:

"That's right. After all, you were a traitor to Soul Society many years ago, and you were also the target of all the covert maneuvers."

"Smash Bee, don't stand there!"

Yoruichi's face darkened when he saw this, and his body instantly became tense.

"Don't stand here?"

Zombie walked around Yoruichi, looked at Kurosaki Ichigo behind him, and sneered, "If I don't stand with the captain of the Gotei 13th Division, how can I stand with you, a former... traitor?"

Hearing this, Ye Yi was about to explain, but then his expression changed, and he burst out in an extremely sudden manner.

Seeing this, Zhanfeng's expression tightened.

Zheng——!

The sound of the blade cutting through the void was heard, and Zhou Fei felt a sudden violent wave of spiritual pressure coming from behind, causing her expression to change drastically. However, she was not on guard against the person behind her from the beginning to the end, and it was already too late to notice at this time.

And at the moment when the sharp intention was about to arrive, Zhanfei suddenly felt her body being hugged by a pair of hands, leading her to roll sideways.

Phew~~

Blood splashed out from Ye Yi's left shoulder to her waist. Looking at the blood all over the sky, Sui Bee's face instantly turned extremely pale.

"Ye...Yeyi...Sir..."

"oh?"

Aizen chuckled in surprise: "Should I say that he is indeed the 'Shunshin' Yoruichi? In this case, he actually avoided the critical point."

Yoruichi didn't reply. As he rolled out, he instantly distanced himself from Aizen and returned to the original place with Zombie.

"you……"

Zhan Bee looked at Yoruichi who was hugging him, his eyes were completely gone from the usual coldness, but filled with worry and anger.

"I'm fine."

Yoruichi put down the broken bee, stared at Aizen, and said solemnly: "I will explain to you later, you just need to know that I am not your enemy."

Broken Bee did not reply, but turned his gaze to Aizen, his eyes showing a chilling light, with murderous intent.

"Aizen Sosuke!!"

"Your arrival is indeed a bit unexpected."

Aizen just smiled indifferently to the murderous intention of the broken bee: "Because from the beginning to the end, I never thought about making any special preparations for you." After that, he paused and continued:

"Don't worry. Yoichi is right. The only person here who can be called the enemy of the Gotei 13th Division is me."

"concern?"

The murderous intent in Zhanfei's eyes skyrocketed: "I'm just thinking about how to kill you so that you can feel the maximum amount of pain!"

"so what?"

Aizen shook his head slightly: "As the commander-in-chief of a secretive maneuver, are you so angry that you are going to stand in front of the enemy and carry out an assassination?"

Zombie didn't reply, but slowly drew out the Zanpakutō from his waist.

"Sting and kill all enemies! Birds and wasps!"
