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

Chapter 30. Everyone thought they had gotten the better deal.

In the afternoon, the snow stopped in the 73rd ward of South Rukongai.

The body of the assassin hired by the Kasumioji family was disposed of by Higashino Shuichi using the power of his Zanpakuto.

The devices that were set up around the perimeter to shield the internal spiritual pressure fluctuations were also retrieved by Higashino Shuichi.

In front of him, Yun Jingyao was clutching the wound on his left chest, panting heavily.

Four spirit beings stood upright around him.

"Heh, if I were you, I wouldn't hesitate in the end."

Having narrowly escaped death, Yun Jingyao did not become more restrained; instead, he regained his confidence.

"If I were you, I wouldn't utter any more arrogant words before even leaving here."

Higashino Shuichi squatted down in front of Yunjing Yaojue and said, trying to control his emotions.

In fact, just now, Higashino Shuichi had indeed prepared himself to flee to Hueco Mundo after killing Kumoi Yosuke. At worst, he would just live in that godforsaken place for more than a hundred years until Aizen officially betrayed him, and then he would reappear.

Just as he was about to finish releasing his Zanpakuto and kill without leaving a trace, Aizen contacted him in time and stopped him from killing Yosuke Kumoi there.

The reason given was that keeping Yun Jingyao Jue was still useful, and Aizen even specifically instructed Higashino Shuichi not to act impulsively.

But once he calmed down, Higashino Shuichi refused to believe Aizen's later instruction.

If you say that Aizen wasn't secretly watching the whole thing from nearby, Higashino Shuichi would never believe it.

Otherwise, how could Aizen have stopped him at such a perfect moment?

He definitely had the idea of ​​teaching Yun Jingyao a lesson.

He even said not to be impulsive, but Higashino Shuichi felt that Aizen probably wished he was the one who would do it.

Unfortunately, Aizen is now Higashino Shuichi's boss, and Higashino Shuichi still needs to play the role of an excellent employee. Since the boss has spoken, he can't pretend not to hear, so he can only spare Yun Jing Yaojue's life for the time being.

"Then you can continue."

Yun Jingyao really wanted to say those words, but he still valued his life. After realizing that Higashino Shuichi, this grim reaper, was gentle and kind on the surface, but had a mad dog hidden in his heart, especially after seeing the veins bulging on Higashino Shuichi's right hand as he was trying to control his emotions, he really didn't dare to provoke the latter any further.

So he chose to remain silent.

Higashino Shuichi was only somewhat satisfied with Yunjing Yaojue's performance.

Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose; this is a truth.

Although he is not completely barefoot now, as long as Yun Jingyao sees him as barefoot, that is enough.

"I think you should also listen to my terms."

After a deathly silence, Higashino Shuichi looked at Yun Jingyao, who was about to collapse from blood loss, and finally reached out his left hand to use the Returning Dao to repair the latter's injuries, and then slowly said.

"Go ahead and speak."

This time, Yun Jingyao finally lowered his proud head.

"There's one thing I have to admit: the Kasumi clan is indeed very powerful in Soul Society. I'm not afraid; at worst, I'll just give up my life and take a few people with me to the afterlife. But if I could join them, that would be a pretty good option."

Hearing this, Yun Jingyao forcefully raised his head, glaring at Dongye Xiuyi with a contorted expression as if he'd eaten shit. "Are you fucking insane? Who wants to join someone else's group and then nearly kills their steward first? And if you had that idea, would it kill you to say so from the start?"

Yun Jingyao's lips, pale from lack of blood, trembled, and no one knew the extent of his emotional turmoil.

Anyway, Higashino Shuichi simply pretends not to see it.

"I can return the sword to you, but I have conditions: I want to join the Kasumioji family and learn how this sword is made."

"That's impossible!" Before Higashino Hideichi could finish speaking, Yun Jingyao immediately and firmly retorted, "The method of making the Mo Yao sword is absolutely not something that can be told to any outsider!"

"So this knife is called the Tapir Blade?"

"I'm speaking," said Higashino Shuichi, placing one hand on the sword case beside him.

"."

Speechless, Yun Jingyao realized he had let something slip.

However, from Yun Jingyao's reaction just now, Higashino Shuichi also learned another piece of information, that is, at least from Yun Jingyao, he did not have much objection to his wanting to join the Kasumioji family, otherwise Yun Jingyao would not have just emphasized that the method of making the Baku Yao sword should not be passed on to outsiders.

This is also what Higashino Shuichi admires about Yun Jing Yao Jue. The latter almost killed someone, but he was still able to consider the benefits and subconsciously accepted Higashino Shuichi's request for him to join the Kasumioji family.

"It's fine if you don't tell me how the knife is made, but I want to see the knife-making process firsthand. Also, I want the qualification to enter the Great Spiritual Library."

"I said with some regret," said Higashino Shuichi.

In fact, all of the above were Aizen's requirements.

With his overpowered ability, Kyoka Shuigetsu, Higashino Shuichi didn't need to obtain the Bakuya sword's crafting method directly from Kumoi Yojutsu. He only needed a legitimate opportunity to contact the Bakuya sword makers. He could then find any excuse to take them to see Aizen, and everything would be revealed.

As for the Great Spirit Book Corridor, it was a place Aizen had longed for for a long time. He had never had the opportunity to come into contact with members of the Tsunayo family, one of the five noble families responsible for managing the Great Spirit Book Corridor.

Now that the Xia Dalu family was a ready-made link, he once again had the idea of ​​going to the Great Spiritual Book Gallery.

It is said that the place records a series of major events and secrets of the Soul Society from ancient times to the present, and it will forcibly collect and record all the things and information of the Soul Society.

"Great Spirit Book Corridor?"

Yun Jingyao's long experience in managing affairs told him that Higashino Shuichi's ultimate goal was very likely this Great Spiritual Book Corridor, and that joining their Kasumi Oji family or visiting the Baku Yao sword making process was just a pretext.

Do you want to indirectly learn the secrets of the Tapir Blade by going through the Great Spiritual Book Corridor?

Yun Jingyao sneered inwardly.

The Great Spirit Book Corridor was jointly established by the five noble families to facilitate the management of the entire Soul Society. How could the five noble families not have left a back door for themselves?
Unfortunately, the Kasumi family happened to know about this back door, so Higashino Shuichi's wishful thinking was destined to fail.

Having figured this out, Yun Jingyao felt much better.

Being able to exchange two conditions that actually don't cost him anything for a captain-level combatant is an extremely worthwhile deal from any perspective.

Moreover, Yun Jingyao was eagerly anticipating seeing the disappointed look on Higashino Shuichi's face after he returned from the Great Spirit Book Corridor.

"no problem!"

Yun Jingyao gave his answer after only a moment's thought.
