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

Chapter 266, Section 264. Abyss of Despair? The Feeling of Home~
When Kyoraku Shunsui returned to Seireitei with his captains, he was met with a scene of utter carnage.

Shuichi Higashino, he did what he said he would do.
Kuchiki Byakuya remained silent.

Soi Fon trembled, her hands clenched into fists;
A few wolf tears shed on Aizen Sousuke's face for those nobles;

On the faces of Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen, there were complex emotions.

I initially thought Higashino Shuichi was just joking, but who would have thought he would actually kill?
Jushiro Ukitake sighed. Fortunately, he had warned his clansmen beforehand to remain neutral.

Almost everyone who sees this scene has their own unique feelings.

"So, where is the Captain-Commander? Didn't he come here chasing after Higashino Shuichi?"

Standing on the streets of Seireitei, Komamura Sajin asked Kyoraku Shunsui, who was at the front.

"I know."

Kyoraku Shunsui nodded.

He didn't actually know where the old man was, but he knew where Higashino Shuichi was right now.

If Higashino Shuichi didn't lie to him.
The captains followed Kyoraku Shunsui to the Tsunayo family's residence and pushed open the door to the council hall.

Amidst the thick stench of blood, Higashino Shuichi stood before the two corpses, holding his blood-soaked Zanpakuto.

Meanwhile, the Captain-Commander of the 13th Division of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, stood in the center of the hall.

Strangely, the captain-in-chief simply stood silently facing off against Higashino Hideaki.

But no one would ask that kind of question in this situation.

Do you know how serious your crime is?

"Hideichi Higashino"

In the end, it was Kyoraku Shunsui who questioned Higashino Shuichi.

Higashino Shuichi slowly turned around, prompting Komamura Sajin, the captain of the 7th Division, to immediately raise his Zanpakuto.

"I know, and I don't intend to deny everything I've done."

But I'd like to know, what about the leader of the Kyoto Band?

What kind of punishment will a sinner like me receive?

Higashino Shuichi chuckled softly because of Komamura Sajin's reaction.

"The specific trial outcome still needs to be discussed by the Central 46th Bureau, but unsurprisingly, you will be imprisoned in the Avici Hell."

Kyoraku Shunsui said.

This was an inevitable outcome.

Because aside from the ordinary Shinigami in Soul Society who are unaware, almost all the high-ranking members of Soul Society are very clear about it.

Powerful Shinigami or Hollows, and even humans, do not enter the cycle of the three realms after they die.

Instead, they will be absorbed by that place called Hell.

Hell's capacity to contain is limited. Long ago, the Kabuto family, one of the five great noble families, issued a warning to the entire Soul Society.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the more powerful a Shinigami is, the less easily the Soul Society should kill them.

The only option is to imprison him in the Avici Hell.

It is clear that Higashino Shuichi's strength cannot be described simply as powerful.

Kyoraku Shunsui glanced out of the corner of his eye at the somewhat weathered old man who hadn't said a word since they arrived.

Although they said nothing and Kyoraku Shunsui saw nothing, some outcomes were obvious.

"Then I accept this result."

Higashino Hideaki smiled calmly at the group of captains.

He completely let his guard down, allowing Soi Fon, the captain of the Second Division, with a small pearl on her face, to come over and arrest him.

"Shoya, I know you have many questions, but I won't answer them. Perhaps you can get the answers you want from someone else if you have the chance~"

"Look at Soi Fon gently," said Shuichi Higashino.

"Show a great person"

Soi Fon looked up, completely unable to understand why things had turned out this way.

"Shh~
Shoya~
"You're the captain of the Second Division now, you can't let your team members see their captain like this!"

Higashino Shuichi was taken away by Tosen Kaname, the captain of the Ninth Division.

The reason is that Soi Fon lost control of her emotions halfway through the journey.

However, Soi Fon did not immediately follow her out of the hall.

Because there are members of the Second Division outside.

She couldn't let her teammates see her like this.

Thanks to Higashino Shuichi's extreme cooperation, all that remained was to put Higashino Shuichi on trial.

However, this process took almost half a year.

Because Higashino Shuichi killed too many people, most of the original members of the Central 46th Bureau died.

It will take some time to select a new batch of members for the Central 46th Bureau.

"Those members of the Central 46 were my good friends when I was the Great Sword Hunter~"
You want me to take the blame for you?
"Lord Aizen, you need more money~"

The current Higashino Shuichi has so many crimes that there's no need for a trial; a verdict can be delivered directly.

Therefore, it's quite reasonable for some people to try to pin the blame on Shuichi Higashino.

However, if the target is Aizen, Higashino Shuichi feels that he still needs to put up a good fight with him.

From Aizen's perspective, this was a completely undeserved disaster. He was diligently carrying out his plan to gradually replace the Central 46, when Higashino Shuichi suddenly pulled this stunt.

This led to a great deal of attention being focused on the Central 46th Chamber.

But there's no other way; the one in a real hurry right now is Aizen, not Higashino Shuichi.

What happened inside the Central 46 can't be exposed now, otherwise it might arouse suspicion from seasoned, cunning captains like Kyoraku Shunsui.

Aizen's later plans, which he had already conceived, would then become impossible to execute.

Therefore, in the end, Higashino Shuichi confessed to the "fact" of killing members of the Central 46 in front of the new Central 46.

As for the details of his deal with Aizen, that's a little secret known only to the two of them.

However, during his time locked in the cell, Higashino Shuichi sometimes found Aizen to be rather boring.

Even though everything has changed so much, he still wants to proceed step by step according to his original plan.

They weren't even in a hurry to find Kisuke Urahara.

It's unclear whether Aizen was overconfident, or simply too confident. However, this is ultimately a good thing for Higashino Shuichi.

At least it gave him plenty of time.

On the day of Higashino Shuichi's trial, almost no one in the entire Seireitei knew about it.

Under the direction of Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the 13th Division of the Gotei 13 deliberately sought to reduce Shuichi Higashino's influence on Soul Society.

Even the history of the Sword Hunters is being deliberately erased by the Gotei 13.

"I hereby sentence: Death God Higashino Shuichi to be imprisoned in the deepest hell for ten thousand years!"

The new presiding judge of the Central 46th Division announced the final verdict to Higashino Hideichi.

The entire process was almost entirely free of controversy.

For a death god like Higashino Shuichi, who has committed heinous crimes, not to be sentenced to death is already an outrage against heaven and earth. There was even a great sage who thought that a sentence of 10,000 years was too short and that a zero should be added to the end.

However, considering that so far, no normal Shinigami (excluding the Shinigami of the Zero Division who underwent the King's Key modification) has been able to live for more than 10,000 years.

So in the end, the great sage's suggestion was abandoned.

When Higashino Shuichi passed by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the latter asked Higashino Shuichi for the first time since their parting at the Tsunayo family that day,
"Have you ever regretted it?"

At this time, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had already learned the whole story from his disciple, Kyoraku Shunsui.

He still didn't think he had done anything wrong, but he was filled with indescribable complex emotions towards a grim reaper like Higashino Shuichi.

"Everything was my choice, and I will not regret it, Captain."

Higashino Shuichi replied with a smile.

On the same day, an article titled "The End of an Era" was published in the Soul Society's best-selling magazine, "Seireitei Newsletter," by an anonymous author.

The story features a fictional Grim Reaper named Furukawa Hirae. This Grim Reaper starts as a commoner in Rukongai and rises to become the captain of the Gotei 13, gradually ushering in a new era.

But in the end, this ancient riverine Pingjiang fell just before the arrival of a new era.

This week, the Seireitei Newsletter completely sold out.

Countless ordinary people in Rukongai felt sorry for such a Grim Reaper, while countless others aspired to become Grim Reapers like Furukawa Hirae in the story.

The name Higashino Shuichi began to gradually disappear from the hearts of countless people.

Sitting in his room, Jushiro Ukitake put down his pen, slowly walked to the window, and looked out at the pond.
"That's all I can do."

After Kyoraku Shunsui and Kuchiki Byakuya revealed the whole truth, Higashino Shuichi's fate would not change, but his image would be established in the hearts of many Shinigami in another form.

However, beneath this bustling and superficial world lies a completely different scene.

"My lord, please take a look at this issue of the 'Seireitei Newsletter'!"
That anonymous author has written another story about the Grim Reaper Furukawa Hirae, and the content seems to be adapted from the story of your escape from the maggot's nest!

This issue of 'Seireitei Newsletter' is also sold out!

Kisaragi Shusuke, now the vice-captain of the 7th Division of the Gotei 13, handed the latest issue of "Seireitei Newsletter" to Higashino Shuichi.

At this moment, Higashino Shuichi was sitting in a chair, his whole body bound by heavy chains, each chain marked with a special symbol for stability.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's composure exceeded Higashino Shuichi's previous expectations.

Originally, Higashino Shuichi thought that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekaku would directly let Shihōin Yushirō, the head of the Shihōin family, who was known as the "Heavenly Armored Guard," preside over his seal.

Unexpectedly, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also brought in Ukitake Jushiro as a double insurance.

Although Higashino Shuichi could use the "Face Fruit" to make Ukitake Jushiro show mercy, he thought about it again and realized there was no need for that.

"Let me see, Furukawa Hirae, a Shinigami with the ability of a time-based Zanpakuto?"
It's amazing that Jushiro Ukitake came up with this idea!

With that ability, wouldn't he be able to easily slaughter his way through Soul Society?

Higashino Shuichi reached out and took the latest issue of "Seireitei Newsletter," flipped through it casually, and then offered his own commentary.

As for the chains on his body, it was as if they didn't exist at all.

"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you going to show me?"
This novel is great, I love reading it!

Suddenly, Yulu Tuoru appeared from behind Higashino Shuichi, snatched the "Seireitei Newsletter" from his hand, and then sat cross-legged in the air, reading it with great interest.

It is obvious that the seals on Higashino Shuichi's body had already been completely mastered by Mochishiro Souya with the help of Amatsu Takuro.

"So, this anonymous author is Jushiro Ukitake?"

Asuka Shusuke was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

The main problem is that the flamboyant writing style doesn't seem like the work of Jushiro Ukitake at all.

"The first one was probably written by Captain Ukitake, but as for the later ones, it's hard to say. They might have been ghostwritten by Captain Ukitake."

At this moment, Matsumoto Rangiku, the current vice-captain of the 10th Division of the Gotei 13, interjected.

"I know that. I heard that Ukitake saw that there were a lot of people urging for more updates, so he specially sent his vice-captain, Shiba Kaien, to the human world to capture the sword~"

Kabuto Sayaka and Shiba Kukaku happened to be walking over from a short distance away. After hearing Matsumoto Rangiku's words, she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Sayako, please stop talking! This is just too embarrassing!"

When Shiba Kukaku heard Sayako reveal this, he immediately showed a helpless expression.

"So it was written by humans. That makes sense. They are indeed good at writing these kinds of imaginative articles. It's just a pity that their lifespan is a bit short."

Following behind Masayoko Kabuto and Kukaku Shiba, Oshima put away the device used for entering and exiting and said.

At this point, those who were originally around Higashino Shuichi were once again gathered in this void of endless hell.

This was all thanks to Mayuri Kurotsuchi's ingenious idea.

At that time, Mayuri Kurotsuchi referenced the spatial connection mechanism he had designed for Tsunayoshiro Shinbara to connect the four gates of Seireitei with the entrance to Avici Hell.

Afterwards, Shuichi Higashino set his sights on Mayuri Kurotsuchi's device.

Meanwhile, Mayuri Kurotsuchi was also a fence-sitter; when Higashino asked, he gave the answer.

There was absolutely no bargaining involved.

Higashino Shuichi probably thought it was because this guy was afraid that he would settle accounts with him later.

After all, no matter what, this guy did manage to trick me.

With this device in place, and with the presence of a local strongman like Sōya Mochijō in the Abyss of Higashino Shuichi, the situation became even more complicated.

Higashino Shuichi and his gang practically made Avici Hell their second home.

They come so frequently.

Rangiku Matsumoto even has her own little wooden bed and wine cabinet here!

But happy times are always short-lived.

After Yulu Tuoli completely merged with the seals on Higashino Shuichi, allowing him to regain his freedom of movement, Higashino Shuichi couldn't wait to have Sayako notify Shiba Kukaku to come over.

He's heading to Squad Zero!
