Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 214 212. Changes in Relationships

Higashino Hideichi fled, and with him disappeared the members of the Sword Hunters, including Kisaragi Hideusuke, Matsumoto Rangiku, and Nagasawa Satomi.

When the captain of the 5th Division, Aizen Sosuke, dragged his seriously injured body to the captains of the Gotei 13 Division, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni realized that something was wrong.

But it was too late.

The captain of the 2nd Division, Soi-Fong, couldn't understand why Higashino Hideichi still ran away when he had vowed to her and the current head of the Shihouin family, Shihouin Yushiro Sakimune, that he was not the real culprit behind the incident.

Wouldn't this completely confirm his guilt?

Especially now, Higashino Hideichi almost destroyed the entire Maggot Nest and severely injured the captain of the 5th Division, Aizen Sosuke. Even if it was finally found out that Higashino Hideichi was not the real culprit of the Zanpakutō materialization incident, he would probably face considerable accusations.

However, these are not issues that she should worry about. The burden on Soi-Fong now is to eliminate the traces left by Higashino Hideichi and his Sword Hunters in Soul Society.

The best case scenario is to let the Sword Hunters disappear in the long river of history and become a secret that is not to be told to outsiders.

As for the pursuit of Higashino Hideichi.

The relevant orders have been issued, but almost all the Shinigami have a consensus, that is, forget it.

What kind of a tough guy is Higashino Hideichi?

If one or two ordinary captains go, it is probably just to send him food. The powerful captains, one by one, have no interest in pursuing Higashino Hideichi.

Unless Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is willing to do it himself, but this is impossible.

Not to mention, the Tsunayashiro family is in the middle, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are biased towards Higashino Hideichi. Even when the captains came to their senses, they could vaguely feel that Tsunayashiro Kanhara's use of the topic that night was probably to cover up Higashino Hideichi's escape.

Then Higashino Hideichi must have had private contact with Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara, which means that the Soul Society's official pursuit of Higashino Hideichi will inevitably be greatly restricted.

At least it is very difficult to hide from Higashino Hideichi and the Tsunayashiro family at the same time.

Therefore, in summary, although the nature of Higashino Hideichi's defection led by the sword hunters of the Shinigami is not much different from the defection of Urahara Kisuke and others in the past, the Soul Society's final handling attitude this time was much more restrained.

Even many ordinary Shinigami did not know that Higashino Hideichi and others had defected.

And the fact that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni would choose such a handling method was actually within Higashino Hideichi's expectations.

But the basis for Higashino Hideichi's judgment was because of Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara's determination.

Higashino Hideichi was certain that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, in his old age, would not forcefully confront Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara on such an issue that did not involve principles.

After all, looking at the whole incident, whether it was the spontaneous behavior of Kuchiki Hibiki at the beginning or the situation that Higashino Hideichi intentionally controlled later, they tried their best to avoid innocent casualties.

This made Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni lose a very important reason to convince himself.

Because just this level of troublemaking is not too much for a Shinigami like Higashino Hideichi who is already "notorious".

So most of the Shinigami in the Soul Society may not have thought that the Gate of the Realm was indeed used that night, and Matsumoto Rangiku did leave traces of stealing the Gate of the Realm of the Realm, but Higashino Hideichi and his party did not actually leave the Soul Society.

Instead, they randomly picked a special device placement point that Tsunayashiro Kamhara had prepared for them and stayed there temporarily.

These places are ostensibly the property of the Tsunayashiro family, so usually no nobles or Shinigami other than the Tsunayashiro family will enter.

Higashino Hideichi and his party only need to get rid of the Shinigami raised by the Tsunayashiro family who are responsible for guarding here.

For people like Higashino Hideichi, this is not difficult to do.

"Nothing unusual has happened recently, has it?"

"My Lord, no, everything is normal!"

"Well, that's good, Sasuke and Zenji, I'm counting on you, and I'll treat you to a good meal after this mission is over!"

"Thank you very much, my Lord!"

"Sir, take care!"

In the private territory of a noble under Tsunayashiro somewhere in the 37th district of Minami-Ryukon Street, the two Shinigami guarding the gate sent away the Shinigami who came to inspect the work and closed the gate.

"The Zanpakutō ability of the captain of the 5th Division is really terrifying."

One of the Shinigami sighed.

In the eyes of other people nearby, his name is Kurata Sasuke, but in fact, he is just Kisaragi Shusuke with this identity.

"Kyoka Suigetsu. What a beautiful name. If Master Shuichi hadn't noticed it, the entire Soul Society would probably fall into his control.

But even so, Master Shuichi's ability couldn't get rid of the influence of Kyoka Suigetsu."

Another Shinigami also said with lingering fear. Her name was naturally not the Zenji that the outside world thought, but Matsumoto Rangiku.

Originally, Shimo Osu was supposed to do this job, but because Shimo Osu had not yet revealed his true affiliation in front of the Gotei 13, Higashino Hideichi directly ignored the latter's pitiful eyes and sent him back to Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Since Higashino Shuichi didn't want his next actions to be known to Tsunayashiro Kanbaru, he made a deal with Aizen.

He revealed all his true plans to Aizen, and Aizen was responsible for using Kyoka Suigetsu to cover him.

This was unimaginable for the relationship between the two of them.

But everything turned around with Higashino Shuichi's strong victory over Aizen that night.

With the improvement of his own strength and the huge number of uncontrollable and unpredictable plot changes caused by his own butterfly effect, Higashino Shuichi is no longer satisfied with passively accepting the development of all things.

Especially in this incident, he was completely set up by Aizen, which can be said to have completely disrupted his previous arrangements, forcing Higashino Shuichi to make such a response.

From the original perspective of Aizen, there is nothing wrong with him doing this. After all, Higashino Shuichi is just one of his subordinates. As the boss, there is no need for him to inform Higashino Shuichi before doing anything.

But from Higashino Shuichi's perspective, it's completely different.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi realized a very important issue, that is, the relationship between him and Aizen must make some changes. Otherwise, if it continues like this, with the expansion of Aizen's ambition, Higashino Shuichi's own strength and influence As the situation increases further, there will only be more and more points at which conflicts will break out between him and Aizen.

Normally, if there is no essential conflict between the interests of the two people, and both parties only need to make compromises, then such a problem can actually be easily solved.

But the problem is that the relationship between Higashino Shuichi and Aizen was not normal before.

The superior-subordinate relationship model directly blocks the possibility of equal communication between two people.

This was not a big problem for the once impoverished Higashino Shuichi, but for the current Higashino Shuichi, it is unacceptable.

So Higashino Shuichi understood that it was time for him to transform himself and Aizen from the original superior-subordinate relationship into a cooperative relationship.

However, for someone who is so proud of Aizen, achieving this step is both simple and difficult.

Fortunately, Higashino Shuichi relied on the power of the three of them that night, coupled with the information gap between Ouchi and Aizen, to achieve an overwhelming victory over Aizen, making Aizen convinced that he had lost.

This made everything else fall into place.

"Yes, Rangiku, if this were not the case, there would be no need for Shuichi-sama to beg for mercy at the hands of Aizen for hundreds of years. It was only now that Shuichi-san finally found a way to solve it.

It’s just that it can’t be repaired. Why doesn’t my Tapir Yao Knife ability work? But it was that boy Yuji Ouch who stole the limelight! "

After learning part of the truth and Higashino Shuichi's subsequent plans from Higashino Shuichi, Kisaragi Suisuke was no longer worried about their current situation.

Because they are the absolutely righteous party who endure humiliation and shoulder the future of Soul Society!

So at this time Kisaragi Suisuke was in a very relaxed mood.

But every time he thought about the scene of Yuji Ouchi showing off that day's results in front of him, he felt a little unhappy.

Didn't that guy Yuji Ouch just create an information gap? What's so cool!

Didn’t everyone say this without watching the show? The method used to deal with Aizen this time will be useless next time!

"But I still can't figure it out. If Soyousuke Aizen has been secretly accumulating power and even had a hand in Hueco Mundo, then why didn't Shuichi-sama kill Aizen that night?

That is obviously a very good opportunity! "

Matsumoto Rangiku said with a frown.

In fact, she wanted to ask Higashino Shuichi this question, but she didn't dare to ask it, because she also firmly believed that Mr. Shuichi must have done this with Mr. Shuichi in mind.

Just because she can't think of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And if she asks, doesn't that mean she's a fool?

How bad it is for you to show off your image in the minds of others!

"The question you asked, Yuga Oush and I asked the Lord that night, and the Lord said there are two reasons.

First, Aizen Sosuke has never shown his true strength in front of other Shinigami. His hidden strength has only been seen a few times by the adults himself, and there is no evidence at all.

If you kill Aizen like this that night, then all the things he has done in the past, including those of us who have been bound to you, will not be able to wash away the sins on your body. We can only really fight with him. The Tsunayashiro family walked all the way to darkness;

Second, based on your understanding of history, he believes that the Soul King's will is still affecting our entire world in the form of the Zero Division.

Aizen Sosuke's existence has both its own reasons and the reason why the Soul King deliberately let it go. Without knowing why the Soul King did this, rashly killing Aizen will probably bring about some immeasurable consequences. as a result of. "

But Matsumoto Rangiku didn't expect that Kisaragi Suisuke and Yusaki Osu, two "idiots", would actually ask so straightforwardly.

And the answer was still the same.

As expected, Mr. Xiuichi is still too gentle. Even at this point, he is still thinking about their future and prospects.

As for the so-called spiritual king

Matsumoto Rangiku felt that she was a little impressed, but not much.

But since Xiuichi said it, it must be true.

So, are these people actually doing such a big thing that can affect the future direction of the entire Soul Society?

In an instant, Rangiku Matsumoto's heart, which had been depressed recently because she couldn't drink, was simply filled with short-term happiness.

At this moment, in a bedroom in the territory guarded by Kisaragi Suisuke and the others, Higashino Shuichi was lying on the bed, reaching out and gently sliding his hand on the face of the beauty next to him.

"Shuichi, isn't it too risky for you to do this?"

With water in her eyes, Sayoko Kabutoma stretched out a hand to hold Higashino Shuichi's big hand, and said with some worry.

There were some things that Higashino Shuichi wouldn't just tell Kisaragi Suisuke and Yuma Osu since they had decided to show off.

Higashino Shuichi revealed more about Kabuto Masayako, who has been helping Kabuto Masayako unconditionally and without asking for anything in return because of Higashino Shuichi's entrustment over the years.

However, regarding the bitter choices Higashino Shuichi mentioned in the past, Kabutuma Sayeko did not express any more besides showing distress.

Born in the Kabutuma family, her duty is to guard Hell and ensure that Hell will not affect Soul Society. In fact, before meeting Higashino Shuichi, she had no idea about Soul Society at all.

Even without Higashino Shuichi, Kabutoma Sayeko believed that she would have turned into a pile of bones like the other clan members.

Therefore, in her heart, Higashino Shuichi's safety has a high priority.

The next plan mentioned by Higashino Shuichi is undoubtedly very dangerous, and in Kabutuma Sayeko's view, this plan is not impossible for Higashino Shuichi to implement.

"Isn't it okay to leave it to Soyousuke Aizen?

Anyway, that was his original purpose."

Kabutima Sayoko said worriedly.

"It's different, Sayako. Aizen and I want different things. What I need, with Aizen's pride, he doesn't like."

Higashino Shuichi smiled and continued to rub Sayako's smooth face, and said softly,

"Besides, it's not like I didn't tell him that you have seen what he got in exchange.

Aizen is not stupid. He can see that I am bound to get those things, so he doesn't have to do anything on his own. "

"But."

"There's nothing left to do, Sayako, you should believe me. After all, I haven't let you down so far, right?"

"Hmm? Xiuyi-kun, please be gentle with your hands."
