A week later, Aizen returned the mask to Aoki, the smile on the man's face was almost benevolent, and Aoki was terrified.

Aizen handed her the mask and said, "Try it, I think you will like it."

Under the spiritual pressure of the man to cover up everything, Aoki put on the mask, feeling the same as before.

Aizen smiled slightly, and stepped aside, a mirror behind him reflected Aoki's face.It's not the ordinary little girl next to Baidaomen, it's different from Matsumoto's bright, and Aoki's coquettish, this is a plain and delicate face, coupled with Aoki's cold expression, it's actually very dignified.

"How does it feel?"

Aoki said honestly: "It's beautiful. How did you do it?"

The girl didn't like the smile on Aizen's face very much. He was clearly a villain, but he looked like a good guy more than anyone else.

"Sanshui Heavy Industry is not from here. Although it is doing intelligence gathering work, some things are still ignored. For example, painted skin."

A week ago, Aizen didn't ask her where the mask came from, and she didn't feel that this separated Aizen from 28. Now, when this moment came, Aoki was unexpectedly calm: "How did you find him?"

Aoki didn't say, it's not that 28 doesn't know about painted skins, but that when making masks, they are preparing to make public faces—they never gave up the hope of escaping.

Aoki brought back from the fighting arena the metal fragments of the blade brought by the opponent who violated the rules, and Liu Sansan wrote a diary with a brush to accumulate the wooden pen holders in the lower half of the room.The sword that Ichimaru Gin broke through the barrier was accumulated little by little.

"This mask is a death row prisoner who died in the worm's nest." Aizen said lightly, "The one on Sanshui's face is also the same."

Tens of thousands of prisoners died in Worm's Nest, including not a small number of elderly men.What Aizen said was very easy.Aoki thought that Aizen was really relaxed, not pretending to be in front of her.

"Where did you find him?"

Aizen lowered his eyelids slightly, and the unchanging smile on the corners of his lips brought a sense of danger: "In Jingling Court, where Sekikou Yuu is buried."

Aoki's eyelashes fluttered, and the words he asked were: "Someone buried Liu—Isamu Sekiguchi?"

"It's the housekeeper of the Kuchiki family," Aoki's question was a bit unexpected to Aizen, the man raised his eyebrows, the image of a gentle and kind man was finally broken, and the smile on his lips suddenly became less fake, "600 years ago, One of the gods of death killed by Sekiguchi was named Kuchiki."

"The Kuchiki family shouldn't regard Sekikou as an enemy?" Aoki was puzzled.

"Yes." Aizen smiled with a gentle smile, but Aoki could hear the irony from his words, "But now Jing Lingting admits that it was wrong to let the fourth division team members be bait at that time, it was Jing Ling Kuchiki is a big stain in the history of the family. The one who applied for the bait back then was Kuchiki as the captain. The Kuchiki family thought that he was also wrong. He died because of his own mistakes, so there was no such thing as an enemy. The Kuchiki family is really a very interesting family. "

Lan Ran straightened her expression, and let her expression sink a bit: "It also means that the dead are the greatest."

Aoki's words jumped again: "What is the relationship between Kuchiki's family and Jinglingting?"

This time Aizen showed a satisfied look: "The Kuchiki is the head of the four nobles. It is said that they occupy more than one seat in Room 46. There is also a rumor that the current head of the Kuchiki family and the captain of the Sixth Division Kuchiki Yinling has been appointed as A member of Room 46, just wait for Byakuya Kuchiki to take over his current position."

Aoki thought of something, hesitated a little: "I remember, Kuchiki Byakuya is his grandson, right?"

"Yes."

"What about his father?"

Aizen smiled at her.

Aoki felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end: "... Could it be that the rotten wood killed by the pass is...?"

Seeing Aoki's slightly changed face, Aizen's smile widened a bit: "Of course not. The one killed by Sekiguchi was a fringe member of the Kuchiki family, but everyone in the Kuchiki family is excellent, and the fringe person has also become the team leader." .”

Aoki suddenly realized that Aizen had a lot of opinions on the Kuchiki family.It's also very funny.

"Byakuza Kuchiki's father died in a battle with Xuquan, which can be regarded as preserving the dignity and glory of the Kuchiki family."

"From what you're saying, Kuchiki Byakuya's father isn't very strong?"

"Yes, I didn't intend to pass on the position of Patriarch to him from the very beginning, otherwise he would not be allowed to participate in that war." Aizen added, "By the way, your teacher, Ukitake and Jingle both participated .”

Aoki paused, thinking that it was impossible for him to ask them about the war, so if he didn’t want to talk about this topic again, he could just talk about it, and it was impossible for her to pester him to ask—maybe he could ask Ichimaru Gin?

The girl took off her mask, changed the subject swiftly, and did not forget to address her respectfully: "Master Aizen, do you have anything else to do when you come to see me this time?"

"At first, I was in a dilemma about how to arrange you to join Mao, but now all the problems have been solved." Aizen said, "Clean up and go back to District [-] with me, and prepare to take the exam in Jingling Court."

The death settlement in the [-]th district was destroyed, and now Aoki lives in the slaughtered village in the [-]th district.Those villagers who turned into ashes did not even leave their corpses, no decay, no white maggots, no epidemics, the whole area was deadly silent, and there was not a single bird song in the lush and green mountain forest in summer.

The vegetable fields are all deserted, and the scene that was once called prosperity has quickly become depressed after people have gone to empty buildings.What she eats now is what she brought with her when she came here.

Did Aizen put that wild boar in on purpose?

Is this the real face of the [-]th district?

It was too quiet, and Aoki couldn't sleep well at night.She still remembers the first time she arrived in the [-]th district, passing through the first village, she also spent a silent night in the winter snow.

Why can sleep well then?

Because there is Ichimaru Gin.

We always get acquainted with a person unknowingly, and in the process of getting acquainted with a person, we unknowingly give trust, and in the end we cannot part with each other.

Aoki had nothing to do, so he put on his mask and followed Aizen.

Maybe in her whole life, she will never step foot in this place again.Memories related to Ichimaru Gin suddenly flooded up. She first saw that beautiful boy in the hall of the Worm's Lair, and the boy's silver-purple hair in the underground fighting arena drew a beautiful arc. His strength made her vigilant, dim In his room, she was sleeping beside him. On the day she fled, she handed over her only weapon to him—the unavoidable trust, in the final analysis, or trust.

Aoki Aotong trusted Ichimaru Gin, although he approached her for a purpose.

Thinking back to the boy's "thank you" after she rescued Matsumoto, did Ichimaru Gin also trust Aoki Aoki?

Aoki Aoki helped Ichimaru Gin to save people, Aoki Aoki trusted Ichimaru Gin, Aoki Aoki found at this moment that she had already regarded Ichimaru Gin as a friend.

This is by no means a good discovery.

With Aizen walking in front, the road was unimpeded, Aoki looked at the "five" on the man's haori——

Seireitei, Mao, Matsumoto Rangiku.
