Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 178 176. Higashino Shuichi? Senior undercover!

It had been half an hour since Higashino Shuichi entered the room, and Kuchiki Byakuya outside the room had not seen any sign of the two people inside ending their conversation, or even that it had collapsed.

This made Kuchiki Byakuya feel strange.

Doesn't it mean that Higashino Shuichi is already equivalent to a retainer of the Tsunayashiro family?

How could he still have a friendly chat with Kyoraku Shunsui for so long?

He had only just taken over the position of head of the Kuchiki family from his father, and he still didn't have a thorough understanding of all that had happened in Soul Society in the past, as well as the current situation in Soul Society.

At this moment, Kuchiki Byakuya's wife Kuchiki Hizen came over with a bottle of sake. Looking at Hizen's frail body, Byakuya couldn't help but show a hint of distress in his eyes.

"Feizhen, why do you do this kind of thing yourself? Just let your servants do this kind of thing!"

Kuchiki Byakuya immediately stepped forward and took the dish from Kuchiki Hijin's hand.

"How can anyone else get close to this place?

Even Byakuya, you have to stay here and not let anyone else get close. Obviously, the identities of the two people talking in that room must be very important, and only I can come here in person~"

Kuchiki Hijin showed a gentle smile to Byakuya and said.

"You. Just leave this place to me. Just go back and have a good rest."

Byakuya Kuchiki stretched out his free left hand, gently touched his wife's face, and then asked Hijin to go back and rest immediately.

His wife has always been very smart, of course Kuchiki Byakuya knew this, and this was one of the reasons why he fell in love with Heizhen.

It's a pity that Haizhen's body is very bad due to his long-term wandering in Rukongai, and he always faints for no reason.

Maybe he should find his lost sister Lucia for his wife as soon as possible. In this case, Feizhen might be in a better mood every day with her sister by her side.

Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Hijin's leaving figure and thought silently in his heart before turning around and walking towards the room.

There is a person in this room, and his identity is of course very important, because this is a Shinigami who should not come to his Kuchiki home alone under such circumstances. Kuchiki Byakuya can imagine that once he will be like this today If the matter is revealed, the Tsunayashiro family, another one of the five great nobles, will have a serious reaction.

Fortunately, he is not that kind of person.

Moreover, Kyōraku Shunsui specifically chose his Kuchiki house as the meeting place. Wasn't it because the video hall, which has many surveillance points all over Soul Society and even in Hueco Mundo, is located near the residence of their five noble families? , is there none?

Standing outside the door with sake in hand, Kuchiki Byakuya took a deep breath. This was not the first time he saw the legendary Shinigami in Soul Society. It can be said that the Shinigami has been doing this for nearly a thousand years. , a commoner from Rukongai with mediocre talent can achieve the ultimate,

But Kuchiki Byakuya had a hunch that the Shinigami he would see later might be slightly different from the Shinigami he knew before.

"So, this is actually not the first time you have encountered a similar situation?

Those guys once produced the Commander-in-Chief? "

As soon as he opened the door, Kuchiki Byakuya saw Kyoraku Shunsui frowning and said somewhat seriously.

He rarely sees Kyōraku Shunsui like this. For Kyōraku Shunsui, who has always been unruly, to make him make such an expression must mean a very serious situation.

"To be precise, he is the youth version of the captain. The strength of spiritual pressure is not high. Even with my strength at that time, I can still handle it, and I don't seem to be able to understand the swastika. Of course, it may be that My body couldn't bear the backlash caused by Captain Zanpakutō Swastika, and that version of Captain felt very dull to me, just like the current state of Nikoku Saizo."

Higashino Hideichi glanced at Kuchiki Byakuya who opened the door, and then looked at Kyoraku Shunsui, and found that the expression on the latter's face did not change at all. He knew that this was probably Kyoraku Shunsui using this method to make Kuchiki Shiro Zai, the head of one of the five noble families, endorsed himself.

Kyoraku Shunsui was telling him Higashino Shuichi not to worry about the consequences of betraying the Tsunayashiro family. The Kuchiki family would definitely stand behind him.

As currently the two most powerful nobles in the Soul Society, the Kuchiki family does have such strength and confidence.

This is incomparable to the other five great nobles, the Kabutuma family, the Shiba family, and even the Shifouin family, which has been severely damaged by the former head of the family's "betrayal" of Soul Society.

"If I remember correctly, you said before that Ni Gu Caizang was not in his current state from the beginning. He was originally going to be more like a living god of death?"

Kyoraku Shunsui said.

Hideno glanced at Byakuya Kuchiki, whose eyes were full of doubts, and knew that Kyoraku Shunsui was a prelude to Byakuya Kuchiki.

"More than that, his spiritual pressure will not be affected at all in the broken world, as if it will never dry up. The huge pressure that the broken world exerts on us Shinigami all the time, for the Niugu Caizang, at least from now on In my opinion, there is no such thing, and I also felt this when I faced the young version of the captain in Osaka Prefecture. "

Higashino nodded. To be honest, this is what has been bothering Higashino. Even Aizen can't explain this problem.

Not to mention Nirvana. Now Nirvana has given up on advancing the plan to transform the soul, and instead concentrates on studying the inverse bone.

"Infinite supply of souls? It seems"

Kuchiki Byakuya said after thinking for a while.

"It's very common, at least for most of us Shinigami, because most of the time, when we are in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo where there are abundant souls, we don't have to worry about the exhaustion of spiritual power at all. Because when we use our abilities, we basically use spiritual pressure to directly call upon the spiritual beings from the outside world, not to mention directly using the spiritual beings within our own bodies.”

Higashino Shuichi guessed what Byakuya Kuchiki wanted to say.

“This is indeed a special ability that sounds scary, but its actual combat performance is somewhat unsatisfactory.

But as I just said, this unsatisfactory premise is based on the fact that our battle with them takes place in Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, or the real world, so their advantage is basically non-existent for us. What if a battle takes place in a place like the End of the World? "

Higashino Shuichi's worries are not without reason.

Because of the research on the broken world, from the information he found in Niryuri, it can be found that the earliest batch of research started nearly a thousand years ago when the Gotei 13th Division was first established.

The captain of the 12th Division of the original 13th Division had a concubine at Zenjoji Temple. In that still barbaric period, he had already begun to consider conquering the broken world.

It's a pity that because of Yhwach's invasion, the first-generation captain died in that era in order to resist Yhwach, and the research on the world severance also came to a standstill at that time.

Because except for the first-generation captain, there is no second god of death who can freely enter the broken world for research.

It wasn't until the emergence of Yuji Ouch that this situation changed.

Originally, in the original plot, the future Yusaki Osu could also successfully master the broken world and become the master of the broken world after Aizen successfully merged with Bengyoku and destroyed the Kutu in the broken world.

And now, if what Niko Saizo said is true, and the captains of the original 13th Division can really be brought back to the present world, the captain of the 12th Division who can also freely enter and leave the world , with the efforts of the concubines of Shanding Temple, it is possible to grasp the possibility of breaking the boundary.

"This is impossible, right?"

Kuchiki Byakuya said in disbelief that such a thing was still too impactful for him who was still young.

But for Kyōraku Shunsui, who lived from a thousand years ago to the present, this kind of thing is possible.

"Perhaps, Xiuyi, it's time for you to call Kisaragi Xiuzhu and them back!"

Kyoraku Shunsui was also silent for a while, and then looked at Higashino Shuichi and said solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, Higashino Shuichi's mood suddenly fluctuated.

"What do you mean?"

What surprised Higashino Shuichi was not that Kyōraku Shunsui knew Kisaragi Suisuke, because when Kisaragi Suisuke, Matsumoto Rangiku and others followed him to escape into the world, this was not a secret in Soul Society.

What makes Higashino Shuichi feel strange is that this time, Kyoraku Shunsui actually uses Kisaragi Suisuke as the subject, not Urahara Kisuke, whom he often talks about.

This shows that Kyoraku Shunsui knows very well that Kisaragi Suisuke and his group, including Higashino Shuichi himself, are not the same as Urahara Kisuke.

"There are some things you may not know. After you disappeared from Osaka Prefecture, the head of the Kabutuma family returned to Soul Society with some Perfectionists, and I met with Miss Sayoko Kabutuma and With her consent, I went to the present world and had an exchange with Kisaragi Susuke there."

Kyoraku Shunsui slowly told about the past that Higashino Hideichi didn't know. At the same time, Higashino Shuichi solved another long-standing confusion in his heart, that is, why Kisaragi Suisuke and the others went to Xishao after he disappeared. bureau.

Logically speaking, with Kisaragi Suisuke's character and his dissatisfaction with Urahara Kisuke, after he disappears, it is absolutely impossible for him to take Matsumoto Rangiku and Kabuto Masaya with him to the Nishisho Bureau to find Urahara Kisuke. .

And now that she has disappeared, Sayoko Kabutuma should have no reason to continue to stay in this world, and she should have returned to Soul Society long ago.

In Kyoraku Shunsui's narration, he had a very "friendly" exchange with Kisaragi Susuke in the real world, and successfully used his own strength to convince Kisaragi Susuke that he was indeed against Higashino Shuichi and others who rebelled from the Soul Society. Death means no harm.

And taking advantage of Higashino Shuichi's ambiguous attitude towards Soul Society at that time, Kyoraku Shunsui successfully deceived Kisaragi Suisuke into the Western Bureau to find out for Kyoraku Shunsui the fate of those missing batches of shallow water. Where did it go.

Kyoraku Shunsui's promise to Kisaragi Suisuke is that after the completion of the matter, he will do his best to let Higashino Shuichi get rid of the label of rebel Shinigami and return to Soul Society.

When he heard this, Higashino Shuichi had to admire Kyōraku Shunsui. This trick of borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha and pushing the boat along was really beautiful. An upright child like Kisaragi Susuke was beaten by Kyōraku Shunsui, an old man, under the situation of information asymmetry. The show is stunned again and again.

It is a perfect example of someone who has been sold and is still counting money for someone else.

But this cannot be blamed on Kisaragi Suisuke, because from Kisaragi Suisuke's perspective, he is indeed thinking about Higashino Shuichi himself.

And Sayoko Kabutuma went with him, probably just with the idea of ​​seeing something new.

As for Matsumoto Rangiku?

She was most likely drifting with the crowd, and Higashino Shuichi was gone. His only two bonds in the present world were Sayoko Kabutuma and Suisuke Kisaragi.

But what Kyōraku Shunsui didn't expect was that Kisaragi Suisuke had been away for almost twenty years and there was still no sign of coming back.

But Kyoraku Shunsui believes that in nearly twenty years, Kisaragi Shusuke has to find out some information in the Western Bureau.

"Having said that, Chunshui, you may be disappointed. I don't have any means to contact Xiu to help them. If I did, I would have contacted them long ago before I knew what you told me today!"

After hearing this, Higashino Hideichi did not feel any dissatisfaction with Kyōraku Shunsui's actions.

Frankly speaking, standing in Kyōraku Shunsui's position, he did nothing wrong, and in the years when he was not in Soul Society, it was undoubtedly a good thing for Kisaragi Hide to help them go to the Western Bureau.

After all, if they stay on the Tosho Bureau side, without the help of themselves and Urahara Kisuke, Kisaragi Shusuke and Matsumoto Rangiku will most likely be targeted by Aizen.

When Aizen does things, he doesn't care whether Kisaragi Suisuke and the others follow him, Higashino Hideichi.

In order to know what happened to him, why he suddenly disappeared, and where Urahara Kisuke and his party were, Higashino Shuichi believed that Aizen could do such a thing.

It's just that Higashino Shuichi didn't know what to do. At that time, he didn't even know that there was such a bizarre perfection technique, let alone leave contact information for Kisaragi Suisuke and the others in advance.

"You don't have to worry about this, Shuichi, because Miss Sayoko has already told me how to contact them."

Kyoraku Shunsui said with a smile.

Higashino Shuichi was surprised, Sayako actually had such ability?

How come he didn't know this before?

However, after Kyoraku Shunsui told him the method, Higashino Shuichi smiled bitterly.

It turned out that he had always known this method, but he had never thought about it.

Now that there is a method of contact, Higashino Shuichi believes that under his influence, Kisaragi Suisuke and the others will come back soon, so the arrangement for these people has become a new problem.

In this regard, the solution given by Jingraku Shunsui is also very simple.

Sword hunters!

Kisaragi Suisuke and Matsumoto Rangiku, aren't they the most suitable team members for Higashino Shuichi's current Tokari clan?

"Haha, I thought Shunsui that you would propose letting them return to the Gotei 13th Division. In this case, you would have another way to suppress me.

Can I interpret your suggestion as siding with the enemy? "

Higashino Shuichi laughed.

Kyōraku Shunsui's proposal was in line with Higashino Shuichi's own ideas. In his original plan, Kisaragi Suisuke and Matsumoto Rangiku were supposed to join his sword hunters.

"The premise is that we have to be enemies, but I think, at least now, we all have a common enemy, right?"

Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and raised his glass.

Higashino Shuichi didn't know whether the common enemy Kyoraku Shunsui mentioned was the people behind Nikoku Saizo, or Tsunayashiro Tokinada?

In other words, in Kyōraku Shunsui's mind, these two groups of people are actually the same group of people?

Higashino Shuichi felt that other people should not be affected, but Kyoraku Shunsui.

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

"In this case, I have heard a word in this world called reciprocity. You have revealed so much information to me today, and I don't feel guilty if I don't return some of it to you, so I will tell you the truth.

According to my understanding, the person behind the incident in Osaka Prefecture that year should be exactly what you guessed.

I guess, Shunsui, after Kisuke Urahara resigned as captain of the 12th Division, you rarely visited the 12th Division again, right?

In the laboratory defense network of Niryuri, the current captain of the twelfth team, there is a guy similar to the current Nikoku Saizo, but that guy is standing in front of the captain of the third team that I hate very much. Ichimaru Gin's face.

And I also got some interesting news from Niryuri, that is, his technology was not created by himself, but by the man who once defected from Soul Society, named Masato Miyazaki Sakai The former captain of Division 12, gave it to him~"

This information was learned by Higashino Shuichi from Nirvana when he returned to Soul Society from the fictional future.

Higashino Hidemoto originally thought this was an insignificant piece of news, but now it seems that the name of Masato Miyazaki Sakai will probably appear frequently in Soul Society in the future.

As a veteran captain, Kyoryu Shunsui naturally cannot be too unfamiliar with this name.

Especially since this man was a former captain of Soul Society.

"I see."

Kyōraku Shunsui's eyes were filled with solemnity again.

Because of the new generation of Shinigami, Higashino Shuichi may not know what this name means, but Kyoraku Shunsui knows very well what kind of waves the owner of this name once made in Soul Society.

That is an extremely dangerous god of death!

Kuchiki Byakuya on the side, after hearing this, finally became convinced that Higashino Shuichi was a high-level undercover agent placed by Kyoraku Shunsui at Tsunayashiro's house.

As expected of the captain's proud disciple, this method is amazing!

Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Kyoraku Shunsui with admiration.
