Death: Captain Millennium

After noticing that the spiritual pressure of Mako Hirako and the others had disappeared, Captain Yamamoto suppressed the urge to take action several times.

"Lin Yu, give me an explanation."

Lin Yu remained calm and composed: "Captain, everything is under control. We can just sit here and drink some tea. Captain Urahara Kisuke should be on his way over."

"Are you so sure?"

"Captain, you might as well sense whether Captain Urahara and Goryu Tessai still have the spiritual pressure in Seireitei."

"Indeed, no. What method did he use to hide it from me?"

"Captain Urahara has developed something new. He's truly a research genius. He used the temporary soul technology left by Captain Hikifune to develop a prosthetic body, something that can block the spirits of the Shinigami, thus concealing it from our perception."

Upon hearing this, the captain revealed a hint of surprise. This artificial body, capable of isolating the spirits of the Shinigami, was undoubtedly a significant invention. If misused, it could have a devastating impact on the entire Soul Society.

Since it was Urahara Kisuke who developed it, perhaps this issue could be resolved with some peace of mind. Urahara Kisuke was a trustworthy person, after all. If this technology could be properly applied, it would be a significant advancement for Soul Society. Thinking of this, the captain nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.

"How did you know Captain Urahara would go to the scene of the incident on his own?"

"It's not that I knew in advance, but I was certain that Urahara Kisuke would go to the scene because he is very familiar with this kind of situation. As a scientist, and also a friend of Hirako Mako and the others, he would definitely go to the scene to confirm his hypothesis."

"He's familiar? Could he be conducting the same research as Aizen?"

"That's right. The formation of the Collapsing Jade consumes a large amount of souls. He is also researching this topic. He should have noticed the large number of souls disappearing from Rukongai before, but he just didn't know who it was."

"As the captain of the Gotei 13, he actually massacred ordinary souls. This is a serious crime. Even if the Forty-Sixth Chamber has not yet convicted him, I will personally kill him."

"Captain, you're mistaken. Although Urahara is also researching the Hogyoku, he didn't harm the souls of Rukongai. Instead, he used fragments of Hollow souls."

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's face showed surprise: "Oh? He actually used the fragments of the Hollow's soul to create the Hogyoku? This is not an act that violates the rules of the Shinigami."

"Yes, Captain, that's why I said Urahara Kisuke is very familiar with this situation. His curiosity will definitely drive him to the scene."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It seems we need to re-examine Urahara Kisuke. His behavior has gone beyond the norm."

"That's true, but the most important thing right now is to solve Aizen's problem. We can't let him continue to do whatever he wants."

"Well, you're right. But regarding the matter of Urahara Kisuke, let's make a conclusion after we deal with Aizen." Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said in a deep voice.

"Aizen's rebellion has only just begun. He now has a perfect alibi, so I really can't find a suitable reason to deal with him. Although I can kill him directly, then the purpose of allowing this rebellion to continue will be meaningless. After all, Aizen's real goal is to gain more powerful power, so he won't cause too much trouble."

"So what should be done with Hirako Mako and the others? The sages of the Forty-Sixth Chamber will definitely not let these captains with Hollow powers go easily. They will definitely do everything they can to kill them. For now, let the young lady from the Shihouin family lead the Secret Mobile Team to protect them."

"Captain-General, don't underestimate Aizen. It's too late now. You might receive an order from the Forty-Sixth Chamber soon. Urahara Kisuke has conducted inhumane experiments on the captains of the Gotei 13 in order to study the power of Hollows. And those captains who possess the power of Hollows will surely be sentenced to death by the Forty-Sixth Chamber in order to maintain the legitimacy of the Shinigami."

As expected, while the captain was talking to Lin Yu, Aizen had already returned to Soul Society and exposed Urahara's crimes to the Forty-Sixth Chamber.

Chojiro walked quickly into the conference room and said, "Captain, the Forty-Sixth Chamber has issued an order for you to come over as soon as possible."

Captain Yamamoto and Lin Yu looked at each other, and Captain Yamamoto said, "Are you here so soon?"

The captain might have had some doubts about Lin Yu's words before, but considering the quick reaction of Room 46, it is impossible that all this was not premeditated.

Lin Yu nodded and said seriously, "It seems they can't wait any longer. Captain, please go ahead."

Captain Yamamoto frowned slightly, and after a moment's contemplation, he said, "Lin Yu, go to my study and wait for me. I'll go to Room 46 and be back soon. Remember, don't act rashly."

Lin Yu nodded to show that he understood, then turned and left. Chojiro, who came in to report on the secret conversation between the captain and Lin Yu, might have guessed something, but as someone who had sworn to follow the captain wholeheartedly, he would firmly support any decision made by the captain.

Watching Lin Yu leave, Chojiro's expression became complicated. He knew the seriousness of the incident and was also curious about Lin Yu. However, as a loyal vice-captain, he would not easily reveal his thoughts.

When Lin Yu walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Chang Jilang. Chang Jilang's heart tightened, thinking that Lin Yu was going to do something to him. However, Lin Yu just smiled slightly and said softly: "Chang Jilang, some things are better not to know."

Chojiro was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Lin Yu meant. "I only know that you and the captain were reminiscing about memories from a thousand years ago. I don't know anything else."

Only then did Lin Yu leave the room with peace of mind and go to Captain Yamamoto's study.

Lin Yu walked slowly along the road, his mind racing, constantly pondering what he might have missed. He knew clearly that this operation was crucial for them and that no mistakes could be made. If any detail was overlooked, the entire plan could fail. After all, Aizen was not an easy opponent. Although his strength was not as good as his, in terms of cunning, ten Lin Yus combined would not be his match. Therefore, Lin Yu had to ensure that every step was carefully planned in order to counter Aizen's calculations.

At this moment, Captain Yamamoto arrived at the 46th Chamber. After a discussion among the sages, they reached the same conclusion as Lin Yu had speculated: to execute Hirako Mako and the others, and to punish Urahara Kisuke with the death penalty. This decision weighed heavily on Captain Yamamoto, as it meant the Gotei 13 would lose four captains, six vice-captains, and the chief and vice-chiefs, among many other talented individuals. Such a loss was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Gotei 13.

"I hope that guy has a follow-up plan. The current situation is really not optimistic. The price we paid is too high." Captain Yamamoto returned to his study with a heavy heart.

When he opened the door, he found Lin Yu had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Lin Yu, Captain Yamamoto couldn't help but sigh: "It's just as you guessed."

Lin Yu smiled and replied: "I am still sure about this."

Captain Yamamoto walked to the desk and sat down, looked at Lin Yu and asked, "What are you going to do next?" Lin Yu said confidently, "I have already thought of the next plan, please rest assured." Captain Yamamoto nodded slightly and let Lin Yu continue.

"Given the relationship between the little girl from the Shihouin family and Urahara Kisuke and the others, she won't just let something like this happen. She will definitely find a way to help them escape from Soul Society, perhaps to the human world or perhaps to Hueco Mundo."

"That's true. Besides, her Second Division also controls a secret mobile unit. It should be easy for them to evade capture and leave Soul Society." The captain finally heard the good news and sighed, "I originally expected to lose four captains. If you put it this way, we'll have to add another one."

Lin Yu comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much. Once the Aizen incident is over, their strength will be improved. After the truth is revealed, they will return to Soul Society. As for the vacant combat power, there will always be someone to fill it."

The captain nodded, feeling a sense of relief, though a hint of worry still crossed his face. He knew that the loss of five captains was a tremendous loss for Soul Society, not only weakening its fighting power but also dealing a blow to its morale. However, for now, he could only hope for the future, waiting until the Aizen incident was over before considering the return of these forces.

Lin Yu looked at the captain's expression and understood his inner worries. He secretly made up his mind to resolve the Aizen incident as soon as possible. This time, Hueco Mundo was under his control in advance. Aizen could only change his base camp, or let Bylergan and others cooperate with him to play a good game.

"Captain, I'll be returning to Squad 7 first. After all, we still have to protect the inner court. If I, the captain of Squad 7, don't take command, it will arouse suspicion from some people."

"Okay, you go back first, and we'll talk later. I'll go issue orders from Room 46 to Hirako Mako and the others. Don't let me down, Lin Yu."

After Lin Yu returned to his office, he saw an unexpected person as soon as he entered the door - Unohana sitting in his office.

"Captain Unohana, why are you here?" Lin Yu asked in surprise.

Unohana Retsu said bluntly: "Lin Yu, was this incident planned by you and the captain?"

Lin Yu was shocked, but he remained calm: "Unohana, why do you think so?"

Unohana smiled sinisterly and said, "When we held the captain's meeting just now, you and the captain-in-chief didn't show any surprise when you learned that Captain Kensi was in trouble. The captain-in-chief was the convener of the meeting, so it's not surprising that he already knew about it, but you didn't react at all. This is not the Lin Yu I know. It's as if you had anticipated this would happen. The other captains may not have noticed this, but as someone who has been with you for nearly a thousand years, I can sense the abnormality behind this calmness. Moreover, the captain-in-chief deliberately asked you to stay, and Chunshui gave you a meaningful look before leaving. You didn't return from the First Squad until the captain-in-chief announced the order of the Forty-Sixth Division just now. If there is nothing fishy between you, I won't believe it."

Lin Yu's gaze was sharp as a knife, staring directly at Unohana Retsu, as if he could see right through her heart. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and whispered, "Should I say you're truly worthy of being Unohana? A thousand years of peace haven't let you down. Unohana, would you believe me if I told you I was reminiscing about the past with the captain?" There was a hint of a smile in his voice, but his eyes were incredibly serious.

Unohana shook her head slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. Then she frowned and replied, "I don't believe this kind of thing." Her tone was firm, and it was obvious that she didn't buy Lin Yu's explanation.

Lin Yu smiled softly, revealing a mysterious smile. He seemed to have anticipated Unohana's reaction and replied calmly, "Don't ask Unohana about this matter anymore. In short, everything the captain and I do is for Soul Society. But there is one thing I must remind you of: be careful of Aizen from the Fifth Division! That's all I have to say. Please go back. The Soul Society is under martial law right now." After saying this, he waved his hand, signaling Unohana to leave.

Unohana felt a surge of unease. She sensed that Lin Yu seemed to know something important but was unwilling to share it. She remained silent for a moment, ultimately choosing to trust the captain and Lin Yu. Although she still had doubts, out of trust in them, she decided not to question them further. After all, if all this was truly connected to them, then the situation might not be as dire as it seemed.

Unohana took a deep breath, decided to put aside her doubts for the time being, and finally turned and left. However, Lin Yu's final warning cast a shadow on her heart, and she couldn't help but start to wonder if Aizen really had some hidden conspiracy.

After Unohana left, Bayunzhai came out from the inner room. She frowned and looked at Lin Yu: "Lin Yu, are you and the captain planning something?"

Lin Yu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "This matter cannot be told to anyone for the time being. Everything is caused by Aizen from the Fifth Division. Honey, you don't have to worry too much."

Bayunsai sighed softly. "We went to Hueco Mundo together before. This should be part of your plan, right? And the same thing happened when you sent Hiyori to Hueco Mundo to assist Kuryashiki some time ago. But now that her friends have encountered such a thing, how are you going to explain it to Hiyori?"

Lin Yu replied calmly, "Explain? What's there to explain? Urahara Kisuke betrayed Soul Society and conducted Hollowification research on the captains of the Gotei 13, causing them to be contaminated with Hollow power. He also forced the captains to flee Soul Society. This crime is unforgivable, and he must be arrested and executed."

Bayunsai was a little surprised: "I thought you would tell Hiyori the truth."

Lin Yu shook his head: "The fewer people who know about this plan, the better. After all, Aizen is not an easy opponent to deal with." His eyes became sharp, and he seemed to have begun planning his next move.

The next day, the Captain-General convened another emergency captains' meeting and made a shocking announcement: Second Division Captain Yoruichi Shihouin had escaped Soul Society, harboring Urahara Kisuke and the others. Their whereabouts were unknown, and the Shinigami stationed in the human world and Hueco Mundo were instructed to closely monitor their movements and report any discovery to the Gotei 13.
