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

Chapter 287, Section 285: A Sleepless Night
Soul Society, Seireitei, Central Chamber 46.

Aizen stood in the place that originally belonged to the great sages of the Central 46 Chambers.

Beside him was Gin Ichimaru, the captain of the Third Division.

Below is a picture of Yinmeng tied up.

The great sages who were supposed to be sitting here to judge Yinmeng were all lying sprawled on the ground.

The blood was still spreading, but life had already passed away.

Is this really a good idea?
"Lord Aizen, while I shouldn't question your abilities, killing all the members of the Central 46 in one go means the events here might be discovered very quickly."

Gin Ichimaru, holding his blood-stained Zanpakuto, smiled as he looked down at Nemuru.

Just now, following Aizen's orders, he killed all the members of the Central 46 who came to attend the meeting.

"It doesn't matter. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last time we need their identities."

Aizen smiled indifferently.

Higashino Shuichi kept his promise to him, and he really got Urahara Kisuke to "willingly" hand over the Hogyoku that he had been hiding.

As Higashino Shuichi's partner and former boss, Aizen naturally couldn't go back on his word.

But for Aizen, even if he was certain that he was going to betray his country, his betrayal could not be too simple.

It not only needs to be ceremonial, but it also needs to be spectacular and impressive.

At least in Aizen's view, his betrayal could not be worse than Higashino Shuichi's "rebellion" against the Tsunayo family, right?

Therefore, although Aizen saw through Urahara Kisuke's true purpose in doing so, which was to sow discord between him and Higashino Shuichi's faction of Shinigami.

However, he still intended to play along with the plan.

Kisuke Urahara just wanted to see himself completely break with the Grim Reapers of Higashino Shuichi's faction, didn't he?
Then he will do as Urahara Kisuke wishes.

Coincidentally, in Aizen's view, the only way to succeed in the current Soul Society is to involve the entire Gotei 13, plus the Shinigami from Shuichi Higashino's faction.

Only with such scale and momentum can we surpass the lineup that Higashino Shuichi faced back then.

Throughout his life, Aizen has never been weaker than anyone else, nor will he ever be weaker than anyone else.

There are some things he may not say, but he will definitely do.

He will surely reign supreme over the heavens in the presence of all.

In the history of Soul Society, his name will inevitably precede that of Shuichi Higashino.

Of course, Aizen had another purpose in doing this.

That is, when Aizen was observing the human world, he discovered that Higashino Shuichi was using the alias Kabuto Takuya.

Furthermore, Kisuke Urahara even specially invited one of the original captains.

At the time, Aizen was unaware of the true purpose behind Saito's appearance as an immortal being.

However, he immediately made the same analysis as Higashino Shuichi himself later made.

That means Kisuke Urahara is still testing Shuichi Higashino.

This is a bad thing, because it shows that Higashino Shuichi has not yet gained Urahara Kisuke's trust.

But this is also a good thing, because it shows that Kisuke Urahara has not discovered Shuichi Higashino's true identity.

With this in mind, Aizen chose to act decisively at the critical moment to help Higashino Shuichi out of a predicament, and incidentally make Higashino Shuichi owe him a favor.

The same is true now.

Aizen cannot rule out the possibility that Kisuke Urahara is using the Hogyoku to conduct a daring test.

It was used to test whether Higashino Shuichi was on his side.

There's no one who can tell Aizen the answer to this question right now.

Therefore, Aizen would rather believe it exists than not.

If we turn the tables on them, we might have a chance to help Higashino Shuichi completely clear himself of suspicion from Urahara Kisuke.

Of course, if you were to ask Aizen what he himself thought...

Aizen definitely tends to believe that it actually happened.

Otherwise, why was Nemuru an artificial human created based on Higashino Shuichi's genes before she returned from the real world?

Such a rumor has already spread throughout Seireitei?

Kisuke Urahara must have already prepared all of this.

She was just waiting for a chance for Yinmeng to go to the real world alone.

Offstage, Yinmeng still maintained the same expressionless demeanor.

As an artificial human, and having been hidden by Mayuri Kurotsuchi within the 12th Division for many years, even the 12th Division's vice-captain, Yujima Osh, knew very little about her before.

Therefore, even now, Yinmeng still doesn't know how to express her feelings.

For her, once she arrived, she was there.

Nothing more
Even before she was brought in, someone told her that the crime she had committed was very serious and that she could be sentenced to death.

But in Yinmeng's heart, this outcome was far less sad than being abandoned by her father.

All she wants to know now is where her father went after he came to this world.

On stage, Gin Ichimaru looked at the expressionless Nemuru below and said as if he had remembered something.

"It seems that you have made up your mind, Lord Aizen."

But why is it Nemuro?
Although we don't know what the situation is like with Asayako Kabuto yet, the legacy left by Shuichi Higashino is exceptionally substantial.
In addition, there was that Ms. Sayako, who always considered herself to be Higashino Shuichi's wife.

Their attitude towards Yinmeng was quite unpredictable.

just in case"

Gin Ichimaru deliberately stopped there, not continuing the conversation.

He knew that Aizen would understand what he meant.

Moreover, although he said that the outcome was unpredictable.

However, Gin Ichimaru himself knew very well that both he and Aizen could guess that there would only be one possible reaction from Sayaka Kabuto.

After all, this matter involves Shuichi Higashino.

If Higashino Shuichi were still there, it would be easy to just ask him about his attitude.

Even if he's dead, it's fine. There's no need to bother with a cyborg like Nemuro.
But unfortunately, Shuichi Higashino is now imprisoned in an inescapable hell.

Kenpachi escaped the Abyss in the Castle of the Spotted Blemish and easily returned to Soul Society.
This is a closely guarded secret within the entire Seireitei leadership.

No one can guarantee when Higashino Shuichi will be "rescued" from the depths of hell by Azajo Kenpachi.

Therefore, anything related to Higashino Shuichi is something that Kabuto Asayako and the others cannot ignore.

It's even less likely that they would do something like ignoring it.

Therefore, in Gin Ichimaru's view, Aizen's choice of Nemuru as his target was hardly a wise move.

At least if Gin Ichimaru were to design it from Aizen's perspective.

The Grim Reapers of Higashino Shuichi's faction are definitely not enemies; on the contrary, they should be people worth winning over.

After all, these Shinigami are only able to maintain a place in the current Soul Society because of the influence of Kabuto Sayaka, the head of one of the four noble families.

Otherwise, given Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's personality, these Shinigami would have all been treated as traitors to Soul Society long ago.

The Grim Reapers were well aware of this fact.

In other words, some minor nobles couldn't see the situation clearly and were only thinking about becoming loyal subjects of the new emperor.

Not long ago, Higashino Shuichi's former top disciple, Kisaragi Shusuke, was forcibly promoted to the position of captain of the 10th Division.

Even so, Kabuto Sayaka only had Kisaragi Shusuke accept the appointment as acting captain. She completely adopted an attitude of wanting only to live a quiet life.

As the saying goes, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease."

Ichimaru Gin believes that Aizen's actions could very well unleash the true power of Higashino Shuichi's legacy, allowing them to officially step onto the stage of Soul Society's history.

In that case, the difficulties Aizen would face would be far greater than originally thought.

However, Gin Ichimaru wasn't kind enough to actually point out the problem to Aizen.

After all, his real purpose in approaching Aizen was to avenge Matsumoto Rangiku.

The greater the resistance Aizen encounters, the better for Gintoki Ichimaru.

Unfortunately, Gin Ichimaru ultimately knew too little information.

Whether it's the true relationship between Higashino Shuichi and Aizen, or the Hogyoku that Urahara Kisuke placed inside Nemu.

These are all beings that Gin Ichimaru could not possibly know about right now.

The lack of key information will only lead to the final analysis results being completely off track.

Therefore, no matter how hard Gin Ichimaru racked his brains, he could not fathom Aizen's true intentions this time.

"Nothing unexpected."

These are the four words Aizen used to reply to Gin Ichimaru.

Aizen wanted Higashino Shuichi's line of Shinigami to cause a huge disturbance with him.

The more glorious Higashino Shuichi was back then, the more insane Aizen's betrayal could only become!

Gin Ichimaru understood.

Kaname Tosen, the captain of the 7th Division, who was standing in the shadows to the side, also understood.

how many years.

How many years have passed since he started following Lord Aizen?

Higashino Shuichi has already gone inside.

He had finally waited for this day.

"Ge Kuang, did you hear that?"
The new world you've been waiting for is coming soon!

The image of that beautiful figure appeared in Tosen Kaname's mind.

He had vowed to fulfill Ge Kuang's dream.

Now the time has finally come to officially begin realizing that dream.

Tosen Kaname even unconsciously clenched his hands.

Inside the vast Central Room 46, a trial was held, four living people, and four different thoughts.

That night, many people had no sleep.

Because the Central 46th Chamber conducted a trial that was almost entirely without suspense.

Yinmeng was taken in in the afternoon, but came out in the evening.

Three days later, Nemu, the former third seat of the 12th Division, was publicly executed at Sogyoku Hill!

That night, Kisaragi Shusuke, the acting captain of the 10th Division,

Yujima Osh, the vice-captain of the 12th Division

Matsumoto Rangiku, the vice-captain of the 10th Division

Kensei Muguruma, former captain of the 9th Division and current owner of a boxing gym in the Seireitei of Soul Society.

Rojuro Ootori, the former captain of the third division and now the owner and performer of a music hall in the Seireitei of Soul Society.

They all gathered at the Douma family's residence and did not return home.

On that same night, the students of the Daylight Class sent a representative: Yumichika Ayasegawa, the fifth seat of the 11th Division.

I visited the Kabuto family and took the opportunity to ask Kabuto Sayaka's opinion.

"Actually, we were supposed to all come together, but that guy Yijiao was a bit impulsive, and I was worried he might say something inappropriate."

Iba Tetsuzaemon has too many dojos to attend to and can't come over.

Kotetsu Isane was ordered by her captain not to leave the Fourth Division;
Miss Ise Nanao had a similar reason.

So there was no other way but to send me as a representative.

But I can assure you, Lady Sayako, that if you need our help, we will definitely lend a hand!

Ayasegawa Yumichika knelt before Kabuto Asayako and spoke.

This is probably the only unexpected part of this incident.

Even Higashino Shuichi probably never imagined that a special class he casually created back then would have such an impact now.

However, Ayasegawa Yumichika saw this as normal.

From the perspective of Ayasegawa Yumichika and the others
Without Higashino Shuichi, Madarame Ikkaku, himself, and Iba Teisemon would not have been able to master Bankai in such a short time.

Without Higashino Shuichi, it's even uncertain whether they could have mastered Bankai.

Throughout the long history of Soul Society, only a handful of people have been able to master the Bankai of their Zanpakuto.

If Higashino Shuichi's "daytime and half-monthly recruitment" wasn't a coincidence, then the credit definitely belongs to Higashino Shuichi.

As for the sentence that Higashino Shuichika and the others had taught them...
There are no coincidences in this world, only inevitabilities.

And they believed it without a doubt.

Therefore, it was such a wonderful misunderstanding.

Perhaps, years from now, when the Soul Reapers talk about Shuichi Higashino, they will still add the label of "master teacher" to him.

"Any Shinigami who has been taught by Higashino Shuichi can master the Bankai of their Zanpakuto, even the weakest one. The slightly smarter one is the captain."

The really amazing ones are at a level that even ordinary captains can only dream of!

But at this moment, no one thought of this; all eyes were focused on Yinmeng.

The same thing happened on that same night.

In the 12th Division's barracks, the underground laboratory, which had just been ravaged by Higashino Shuichi and had not yet fully recovered, welcomed another uninvited guest.

"I suddenly realized that all the defenses I've painstakingly built for the lab seem to have been completely useless?"

Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi of the 12th Division put down his work, turned around and looked at the uninvited guest.

"You can't say that, it did stop me for a few seconds after all."

If you hadn't made any preparations, you might have been quite surprised by me!

The uninvited guest replied with a touch of playfulness.

"is it?
so what?

It still doesn't mean much to me.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi said without any emotion.

This time, he really has no intention of repairing the defenses.

Let's just replace them all with alarm systems!

"Whatever you like~"
But I have something important to discuss with you. Tell me, Nemuro, did Kisuke Urahara ask you to spread Nemuro's information?

"Wouldn't it be faster to ask him about this yourself?"
The former captain of the Second Division, the former head of the Shihouin family, Yoruichi?

Mayuri Kurotsuchi answered calmly.
