Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 20. Things always have unexpected twists.

Outside Hueco Mundo, at the site where Sengoku Ryu, captain of the Soul Society Expedition, died in battle.

Stark had already taken Lilynette back to Las Noches, leaving only Shuichi Higashino behind.

At this moment, he was unaware of everything that was happening far away in Soul Society, nor did he know that his "gentle" older sister captain had almost discovered part of the truth hidden beneath the mist.

With absolute trust in Aizen, Higashino Shuichi carried out the task given to him by Aizen without the slightest worry—waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump.

The twenty-sixth verse of the Binding Path, an indefinite continuation of the cup, completely concealed Higashino Shuichi's figure.

At the same time, Higashino Shuichi also withdrew most of his spiritual pressure, leaving only the part that maintained the curved light.

Then, just to be on the safe side, Higashino Shuichi caught about ten more unintelligent Gillian from the vicinity and placed them haphazardly around himself to cover up the spiritual pressure that maintained his psychic power.

In this way, unless the person coming to retrieve the Baku Yao Dao is a Shinigami who is very familiar with Higashino Shuichi, it is basically impossible for them to discover Higashino Shuichi's existence.

Originally, Higashino Shuichi thought he might have to wait here for ten days, half a month, or even one or two months.

Unexpectedly, less than a day later, several figures of death appeared in his field of vision.

Judging from their attire, they are probably not members of an expeditionary force, but rather a special retrieval team from Soul Society responsible for recovering the dead Shinigami Asauchi.

However, Higashino Shuichi knew very well that these people could not possibly be members of the recovery team, because they went straight to the location of the Mo Yao sword Lei Huo without searching or hesitating at all, as if they knew the location of Lei Huo from the beginning.

Who else but the Grim Reapers in the family that made the Tapir Blade could do that?
At least, having spent so many years in Soul Society, Higashino Shuichi had never heard of any black technology in Soul Society that could accurately locate the dead Shinigami Asauchi.

"This is it!"

Several Death Gods landed beside the Thunderfire Blade, one of them looking at the Thunderfire and saying...

At this moment, Lei Huo had lost its original sharp and aggressive aura due to the loss of the supply of spiritual energy here. However, from the outside, it was just a uniquely shaped longsword, and it had nothing to do with the appearance of Asauchi.

The sheer certainty of this Grim Reaper further confirms their identities.

The skinny Death God among them took the black rectangular box from behind his back and placed it on the ground. Just as he was about to use his special gloves to pull out the Thunderfire stick stuck in the yellow sand and put it into the box, the other burly Death God with long black hair suddenly attacked.

"Binding Spell Number Thirty: Three Flashes from the Mouth!"

Three huge, sharp beams of light shot out from behind the skinny Grim Reaper, pinning him and another Grim Reaper in front of him to a large rock not far away.

"Ishii Kyusuke, what are you doing!"

One of the grim reapers reacted immediately, but his first reaction was not to fight back, but to question the burly grim reaper.

Hidden in the shadows, Higashino Shuichi silently shook his head. This kind of person, unless in anime, would only have one fate in reality.

"Broken Path No. 31, Red Fire Cannon!"

As expected, the burly Shinigami known as Ishii Kyusuke didn't waste any words. He raised his hand and unleashed another unincanted Hado. A crimson fireball shot out from his palm. The sharp-beaked Shinigami stared wide-eyed as he watched the fireball strike his chest and then burst into a dazzling burst of light.

At this moment, the last remaining short Grim Reaper finally realized what was happening. "Ishiiwa Kyusuke, this is betrayal! Scattered beast bones, spires, red crystals, steel wheels, moving like the wind, still like the void, spears clashing against each other." Higashino Shuichi, watching this scene from the shadows, had only three consecutive question marks in his mind.

No, have these people never fought a real battle before?
Higashino Shuichi knew that the short Shinigami was chanting the Kido, which was the 63rd high-level Kido, far superior to the two Kido that Ishii Kyusuke had used before.
Please, this is reality, not an anime or a turn-based game. You two are less than five meters apart. Only an idiot would stand there and wait for you to finish reciting such a long passage, okay?
Just as Higashino Shuichi was making his constant complaints, Ishiiwa Kyusuke also took action. This time, he didn't use Kido. Instead, he drew his Zanpakuto and used the not-so-skill Shunpo to rush in front of the short Shinigami. Then, he stabbed him, ending the short Shinigami's short and foolish life.

Witnessing this, the two Shinigami, who had been subdued by Ishiiwa Kyuusuke's "Mouth-Thrust Three-Flash," unleashed a torrent of abuse at him: "Are you insane, Ishiiwa Kyuusuke! The Kasumi Oji family will never let you get away with this! You're just waiting to die!"

In response to the two Shinigami's suicidal behavior, Ishii Kyusuke merely let out a maniacal laugh of a victor. "Hahaha! The Kasumi-Oji family? As long as I possess this Baku-Yōtō, I can instantly become a captain. What can the Kasumi-Oji family do to me?! They can only beg me to cooperate with them!"

After saying this, Ishii Kyusuke seemed unsatisfied. He walked to the Baku-yōtō Raihō, which was stuck in the ground, threw away his own Zanpakutō, and then, with a crazed expression, stretched out his right hand and grabbed Raihō's hilt.

The lightning and fire, touched by the fresh spiritual particles, instantly awakened, emanating a terrifying aura.

"From today onwards, I am the captain!"

Ishii Kyusuke looked up to the sky and roared, then turned and swung his sword at the two controlled Shinigami.

"You all shall die! Cut it off! Thunderfire! Thunderflame Bullet!"

The Mo Yao Blade unleashed its thunder and fire in an instant, and a ball of scorching flame shot out from its hook-shaped tip, leaving a scorching mark in the air with lightning speed.

"what!"

"what!"

Two miserable cries followed, and the two Grim Reapers who had been controlled were powerless to resist and were turned to ashes by the flames.

"This is the power of a captain! Hahaha! This is the power of a captain! From this day forward, this is my power!"

Seeing this horrific scene, Ishii Kyusuke felt no remorse whatsoever; instead, he became even more frenzied, his entire body trembling uncontrollably with excitement.

"Ugh"

Suddenly, at that moment, Ishii Kyusuke heard a very untimely sigh.

"Who?! Who's nearby?!"

A sudden sense of panic rose in Ishii Kyusuke's heart.

Because he was completely unaware of the presence of anyone around him; within his field of vision, there were only a few Kyrians wandering aimlessly in the distance.

That's impossible. From the moment he grasped the Thunderfire, he should have had captain-level strength. So why?
Why was there another sigh in his ear?

Soon, without keeping Ishii Kyusuke waiting for long, a figure appeared less than a hundred meters in front of him and solved the problem for him.

"Gotei 13, 4th Division, 3rd Seat: Higashino Shuichi!"
