Death: Captain Millennium

Lin Yu, the sixth brother, has not been idle these years. Thanks to Aizen's sudden attention to him, he has the opportunity to exchange information with Ichimaru Gin.

Sometimes it was Aizen who came to the 7th Division pretending to be Gin Ichimaru, and sometimes it was the real Gin Ichimaru, but no matter who came, Lin Yu would treat the other party as Gin Ichimaru.

Once, Aizen disguised himself as Gin Ichimaru and came to the 7th Division. Lin Yu warmly greeted him and drank and chatted with him. Lin Yu deliberately showed concern and curiosity for Gin Ichimaru, asking about his recent situation and some personal issues. Although Aizen was a little confused, he still cooperated and answered Lin Yu's questions. However, when Lin Yu began to talk about his ideal life, Aizen finally couldn't help himself.

"Captain Ichimaru, I always feel that we are very similar. We are both people who will do anything to pursue higher goals." Lin Yu said, with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

Aizen frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "What on earth does this guy want to say? Has he discovered my identity?"

Then, Lin Yu continued, "However, our goals are different. You pursue power and status, while I pursue justice and order in Soul Society."

Lin Yu's words about pursuing justice and order for the corpse souls really come from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing this, Aizen's face turned gloomy. He realized that Lin Yu might have noticed his true intention. But he did not reveal it immediately, but continued to listen to Lin Yu.

"Captain Ichimaru, I know you are a smart person and will definitely understand my ideas. We can become friends, help each other, and achieve our goals together." Lin Yu said sincerely.

Hearing this, Aizen was a little surprised, but he still had a smile on his face, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he asked, "I wonder what Captain Lin Yu wants to do?"

Lin Yu burped and said drunkenly, "Of course, I want to become the captain of the Gotei 13! That way I can implement the justice and order in my heart. How's that? That's amazing, right?"

Aizen was stunned for a moment. He had originally thought Lin Yu had discovered something, but now it seemed that he had been too cautious. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Is this your ideal?"

Lin Yu replied as if it was a matter of course, "Well, what else could it be? Becoming captain-general is already a very impressive goal. Could it be that Captain Ichimaru has a better way for me to enforce justice and order in Soul Society?"

Aizen blushed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "That's not the case."

As he got even more drunk, Lin Yu started talking to Aizen about life like a chatterbox.

His voice became a little unclear, but his eyes were unusually bright. "What is the meaning of life? Why do we come to this world and experience pain and suffering? And when we die, we come to the Soul Society. If we die again, what will become of us? Is the only way to go to hell? Or are there other destinations?"

Aizen listened quietly, a helpless smile on his face. He knew that Lin Yu was already quite drunk at this time, but he had to admit that the questions raised by Lin Yu were indeed very profound and made people fall into deep thought.

Then, Lin Yu began to ramble again: "If Soul Society attacks Hueco Mundo with all their might, can they wipe it out in one fell swoop? This is a question worth pondering..."

Aizen really couldn't stand Lin Yu's nonsense. He stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Captain Lin Yu, I still have team matters to go back and deal with." After that, he hurried away.

After making sure Aizen had left, Lin Yu, who had been lying on the table, slowly opened his eyes. A sly smile flashed through his eyes: "Life is a play; it all depends on your acting skills!" It turned out that he had been pretending to be drunk just to get Aizen to leave quickly.

Ever since Lin Yu met Aizen, Aizen decided not to see him again. From then on, every time someone came to drink with him, it was always Ichimaru Gin who was in good health.

On this day, Gin Ichimaru arrived at the 7th Division on time as usual, and enjoyed the pleasure of fine wine with Lin Yu.

As the two savored the wine and chatted, Ichimaru Gin suddenly thought of a question he had always wanted to ask: "Captain Lin Yu, how do you determine which one is the real me?"

Lin Yu smiled slightly and replied, "It's actually very simple, because Mirror Flower and Water Moon have no effect on me."

Ichimaru Gin frowned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Do you think you are not affected by the mirage?"

Lin Yu nodded and answered seriously: "Yes, that's the fact."

Ichimaru Gin shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Captain Lin Yu, what you said is really a joke. If you are really unaffected by the mirror flowers and water moons, then wouldn't it be easy to break Captain Aizen's plan?"

Lin Yu smiled helplessly and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Why doesn't Captain Ichimaru believe me?"

Gin Ichimaru sighed and said, "Okay, let's talk about something serious." So the two began to talk about other topics.

Lin Yu picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then said: "However, although I am not affected by the mirror flower and water moon, I don't want to ruin Aizen's plan."

Ichimaru Gin asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Lin Yu explained: "Aizen's plan is beneficial to the development of the Soul Society, and I don't want to do it, so even if I know the truth, I won't do it."

Gin Ichimaru seemed to understand something and nodded slightly.

At this moment, Lin Yu changed the subject and said with a smile: "But I can guarantee that you will fail in the end."

Ichimaru Gin's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He smiled and said, "Really? Then we'll wait and see."

Lin Yu looked at Gin Ichimaru calmly and said, "Ichimaru! Whether you are a human or a god of death, you must know yourself. I am indeed not as good as Aizen in strategy, but in terms of strength, the current Aizen is really not enough for me to defeat." His tone was calm and confident, as if he was absolutely sure of his own strength.

Ichimaru Gin frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his heart. Although he knew Captain Lin Yu was powerful, he still felt uneasy facing a formidable foe like Aizen. However, he also knew that arguing about this issue at this moment was pointless, so he decided not to dwell on it.

"Captain Lin Yu, you said before that you could help me save Rangiku. Is it true or false?" Ichimaru Gin suddenly changed the subject, staring at Lin Yu with eagerness and expectation in his eyes.

Lin Yu smiled and patted Ichimaru Gin on the shoulder, "If I say I can save him, then I can save him. What's the point of me lying to you? Just rest assured." His smile was full of confidence, which made Ichimaru Gin put aside some of his doubts.

Ichimaru Gin nodded. Though a hint of uncertainty remained, he trusted that Lin Yu wouldn't easily make a promise he couldn't keep. He decided to put his worries aside for the moment and trust Captain Lin Yu wholeheartedly. After all, his own strength wasn't enough to save Rangiku. They needed to unite and fight Aizen together. This was his only option.
