[Reaper Lanping] Dark River

The ground was not Yusao Ming at all, but a god of death, his eyes were wide open, and the blood from his abdomen flowed out continuously, obviously he had died under Aizen's knife.

"how come……"

Ichigo opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the god of death on the ground.The attacker just now clearly saw that he was dressed in a white prison uniform, held an ancient Japanese sword in his hand, and had short black hair—but the dead man on the ground was obviously wearing a dead man's costume, with dark brown hair, and He was a strong man, not a boy at all.

Lucia, who also witnessed the tragedy, suddenly seemed to think of something, looked at Ichigo in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of attacker did you see just now?"

"Short black hair, about the same age as Xia Li and the others, holding a knife, wearing white clothes... like that."

This sentence seemed to give Rukia courage again, she stood on the edge of the wall, raised her voice and said to Toshiro: "Please wait a moment, Captain Hitsugaya!"

"what's up?"

Shiro Dong looked at Rukia with a gloomy expression, obviously not in a good mood right now.The person I chose to trust again one second before, and killed again in front of everyone the next second, no one would be in a good mood.

"Captain Hitsugaya, the one who fought Aizen just now was not the god of death, but a man in a white prison uniform." Lucia sheathed her knife, jumped off the edge of the wall and stood in front of Toshiro, with a look on her face firm.

"But what we see now is that a god of death died here - it was Oda, a member of our [-]th squad." Dongshiro said in a low voice, "and we have also seen that after killing him, Aizen took the knife and fled in fear of crime. .”

"Toshiro, I also saw—" Ichigo wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Toshiro.

"Even if what you see is indeed different from what we see," Toshiro's gaze sank, "Aizen Soyousuke is still a wanted criminal in the Soul Society, and since he showed up, we can't ignore him."

Even Ichigo came back to his senses, jumped off the edge of the wall and stood behind Rukia, and he could only sigh after hearing Toshiro's words.Indeed, even if Aizen didn't stand against them this time, what he did in the past still put him on Jinglingting's blacklist.

Toshiro's gaze was as cold as ice, and his emerald green eyes stared at Ichigo: "And you came with Aizen, right?"

Ichigo was at a loss for words and stood there not knowing how to answer.After redeploying the patrol mission, Toshiro turned around again, facing the frowning Ichigo and said: "Now you can't hide the fact that you followed Aizan to Jinglingting, the [-]th Division Later, I will hand over the surveillance records in the black cavity to the captain—instead of thinking about how to excuse Aizen, why not think about how you will explain it to the captain now!"

After finishing speaking, Toshiro turned his head and left, leaving the thirteenth team with a cold spiritual pressure.

"Now... what should we do?"

Rukia turned her head to look at Ichigo, and Ichigo retracted the two knives into his waist, and began to turn left and right in his arms.

"...Ichigo?"

Kurosaki Ichigo frowned, and took out a cell phone from his pocket.

"Mr. Urahara told me that Aizen would cause trouble, so I should ask him first..." He muttered, frowning as usual in all special events; and Rukia What felt reassuring again was that he kept his serious face the same as usual—this meant that he was still full of confidence in the future, and he was only thinking about how to solve the problem.

Counting this time, it was already the third time he had fought against Misaki.Although he didn't suffer a loss in the first two times, when Mizuaki pulled away and left for the third time, Aizen instantly understood that Mizuaki didn't want him to join forces with Jinglingting.

From the beginning of the present world, there are countless reasons in Aizen's heart to speculate why Misaki is so afraid of himself, and can even point out the various loopholes in Misaki's actions.From the beginning to the end, it is not an exaggeration to say that his actions were full of flaws.It's just that there are two more points that confuse him a little.

The first point is why Misaki would find his position accurately.Unlike when he was patrolling in the present world before, he did not hide his spiritual pressure at all at that time, so he was found.Second, Misa understands that Tian's posture is completely different from his evening posture.

Hearing the commotion below, Aizen frowned, activated the ability of mirroring flowers and water moons, and thought about it.

At night, Misaki's whole body is wrapped in black Reiatsu; while in the daytime he can show up - but he needs to rely on the possession of the body to act normally.And during the day, he could clearly feel that although Yu Zuoming attacked him as usual, the first time was to test his own strength, and he was fully prepared to escape; and this second time...

Aizen squinted his eyes, landed on the eaves of a certain building, looked at the god of death coming and going below, and silently sorted out his thoughts in his heart.It may be because the opponent's weapon is too good, so many times his attention is naturally on the knife, but he ignores what Misaki himself is.

After the patrolling god of death in the narrow alley below passed by, Aizen gently jumped off the eaves, walked to an alley behind the building, temporarily released the mirror, and took out a mobile phone from his pocket.After his own transformation, this mobile phone can not only be used normally when working in this world, but also can get in touch with the soul world.Because of this, it was inevitable that Hirako would deliberately call him during working hours in his spare time.

Every time, he would patiently tell Pingzi to call him back later, and he, who couldn't get angry at all, was probably hopeless.

Thinking of this, his hand holding the phone tightened slightly.

It's better to call Urahara first, even though I am extremely impatient to contact that annoying guy.

On the other side, Ichigo has already connected the phone.

"Hey, this is the Urahara store~"

"Hey, Urahara!"

With one hand on his hip, Ichigo walked on the way to the first team, followed by Nanao Ise with a very bad face,

"Didn't you swear and say 'if Aizen is willing to take you away, don't worry'? I followed you because I believed you! Now I'm on my way to meet the captain!"

Yes, in fact, that day, after Aizen hung up the phone, Urahara suddenly said this to Ichigo who was still sweating profusely as he twisted the handle of the knife and tried to open the world-transmitting gate.

"If Aizen takes you to Soul Soul Realm later, just follow him without saying anything, there's no problem."

Facing Urahara's thoughtful gaze, Ichigo blinked: "What? Aizen take me there?"

"That man will definitely take you there, so you must follow."

As soon as the words fell, Aizen appeared in Urahara's store out of thin air.It seems that this man has used the black cavity as a random door, coming and going freely.

"——And I just told you to follow, and I'm not the captain I told you to lie to!" Urahara said jokingly, and he stopped and yelled into the phone, "Save Aizen! You don’t have the right to talk about me!”

The vice-captain of the Fifth Division who followed behind also sighed when he heard this.As the first discoverer, Hina Mori, who didn't explain well, is also suspected of covering up, so I have to go to the team to explain.Not knowing what Urahara said on the other end of the phone, Ichigo finally calmed down, and after answering a few words, he hung up the phone.

Hinata sighed: "Kurosaki-kun, I've made you worry..."

"Ah, it's nothing." Ichigo turned to her and said with a smile to reassure Hinata.

Aizen on the other side couldn't get through to Urahara's phone, and when he heard Urahara's "Please leave a message after the beep~", he couldn't help tightening his fingers, and calmly put the phone away from his ear. Take it away and hang up the phone.

Seeing that the day was about to pass, Aizen put the mobile phone back into the inner pocket of the suit, picked up the knife and looked at it.

Although Kyoka Shuiyue exchanged her wisdom for Urahara's help, the situation is still deteriorating.That day, he was able to fuse with the sword soul of Jinghua Shuiyue, completely relying on the evolutionary power given by Bengyu.And after Bengyu regained his power, Dao Po also separated from him again, but the original sword was broken, and no shallow sword could withstand the power of Jinghua Shuiyue.

He also remembers the day when he met Jinghua Shuiyue very clearly - Qian Dasha, who accompanied him for another period of time, and Jinghua Shuiyue stuck on the ground behind him.Thinking about it, it was because the blade he condensed after practicing and scrapping countless shallow swords was different from the temporary blade he made.

Even today, when he cut people down, he would emit uncomfortably ecstasy, not to mention bear his spiritual pressure and hypnotize the gods of death in the Jingling Court on a large scale.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ai Ran said this with a faint approval to his unresponsive knife.At night, when Misaki might reappear, it was necessary to confront him.

Seeing the setting sun, Aizen suppressed the urge to go out of the dark alley to the Fourth Division, and sorted out his thoughts.The brilliance of the setting sun in those light brown eyes just fell little by little.

"Look, there's plenty of evidence for this!"

But when he was thinking, Ichigo, who was escorted to the first team, was not so leisurely.Nirvana Mayori slapped a thick stack of reports on Jingle Shunsui's desk, and said angrily: "It's not that there is something wrong with the things I made, but that Aizen's spiritual pressure interfered with the work of the monitor!"

After finishing speaking, he grinned at Ichigo again with a weird smile and said, "Thanks to this agent of death, although the brain is not very good, but the Reiatsu is very useful-it is your Reiatsu Only by competing with Aizen's Reiatsu can I discover the problem~"

Hearing the strangely satisfied tone, Ichigo clicked his tongue impatiently, and muttered in a low voice: "Mr. Urahara has already discovered this kind of thing."

He just said it casually, but Nirvana Yuri became excited and yelled at Ichigo: "What are you talking about?! How dare you say that guy Urahara is better than me?!"

"I didn't say that." Ichigo denied it, but the sideways head and his dead fish eyes betrayed his inner thoughts.Nirvana took two steps in Ichigo's direction vigorously, clenching her teeth.

On the other hand, Jingle Chunshui laughed first, and raised his hand to signally press the two parties: "Well, everyone, don't get excited. But Ichigo, do you want to give Aizen a chance to enter Jinglingting? How about an explanation?"

Ichigo sighed: "I'm sorry for the captain, but I don't think Aizen's position this time is not against us, so I lied to you. After all, I also know that his current identity is a bit embarrassing..."

"Then, Kurosaki Ichigo."

The originally smiling gaze under the bamboo hat suddenly became a little intimidating at this moment: "Can you use your long-standing reputation in the soul world to guarantee that Aizen will not stand against us this time?"

The orange-haired boy in front of him... No, he should be a young man. After hearing what he said, he nodded firmly and said, "I can guarantee it."

Except for Urahara, Ichigo has never told anyone that he got in touch with Aizen's heart during the decisive battle with Aizen that winter.

I hope someone can stand by his side, and I hope that I will no longer be alone.

Now it seems that Aizen has fulfilled his wish, and he hasn't done anything bad in the past four years.Ichigo is willing to believe that Aizen's choice this time is not to be an enemy to them-this matter seems so unbelievable to outsiders, but Ichigo takes it for granted.That look, just like when he asked Captain Yamamoto to take back Kugo Ginjo's body and bury it in this world, was firm, clear and full of confidence.

Jingle Chunshui couldn't help laughing: "But, after all, Aizen Soyousuke is the most wanted criminal in the soul world, and he did kill someone in front of the team members, so we can't cancel his pursuit."

Ichigo nodded to express his understanding, and also knew that Jingle Shunsui would not pursue the matter that he followed Aizen Soyousuke into the soul world through the black cavity.

"And then, here are some other materials." Jingle Chunshui pressed his bamboo hat and said with deep meaning, "I also hope that Ichigo can learn more about it."

"Ah, thanks."

Ichigo nodded and took the document.

"I don't know much about him."

Yushiro walked among the huge bookshelves holding a lamp, followed by Byakuya Kuchiki.Although this young man who didn't know much about the world could quickly accept secrets like the maggot's nest, he didn't realize what was behind such a place.

"I just heard that there were excellent disciples in the branch family, but they disappeared later." Xi Shiro held the lantern and looked carefully along the bookshelf, "I also asked from the elders. If he is locked in the nest of maggots, he will be the only one—ah, I found it!"

Among the dusty scrolls, Yushiro carefully pulled out the thin-looking scroll marked "Sifengyuanmu" from the grid.Open the scroll, there are not many words written on it.Yushiro directly handed the scroll to Byakuya, and Byakuya began to read it under the dim light.

He is talented and has been sent out many times as a young killer before joining Mao.It wasn't just the Sifengyuan family who instigated this child to kill, but also other nobles came to ask Sifengyuan Mu to help eradicate dissidents.Compared with Ye Yi, who was born in the same family and was born to be the next head of the family, like a princess, he seems to have acquiesced in his own destiny, doing these shady things for the family.

It's just that after he grew up gradually, he wanted to settle down.He was studying in Mao, and wanted to be admitted to the Gotei [-]th Team with his own strength, and become an ordinary god of death, so he resisted the elders many times.The elders, who couldn't bear it and were terrified of his assassination ability, betrayed him first.And because his past assassinations were too successful, he couldn't catch him or prove that he did it.

So on the day Mao graduated, the boy was taken away by the gods of death and locked into a nest of maggots.

The simple record also let Kuchiki Byakuya know why the young man despised the nobles so much and mocked the honor of the nobles.Although it was understandable, this was something that Byakuya Kuchiki would never allow.As the head of the four great nobles, the Kuchiki family shoulders not only their own glory, but also a model for all nobles.

If this person hates so much, belittles the glory of the nobles, and kills so many people, then Kuchiki Byakuya, as the head of the Kuchiki family and the captain of the sixth division, will kill him with his own hands in order to protect the pride of the Kuchiki family .

As the head of the family, Yushiro Sifengin, facing this file, seemed to understand something, and his eyes gradually sank.

"Indeed, it's the elders... Maybe we are biased?" He whispered.

For the children who are conscientious for the sake of the family, just because they don't want to continue living like this, they lock the other party into the nest of maggots.

Kuchiki Byakuya looked over, in the not so bright light, on this face that resembled Yoruichi, there was a kind of sadness and guilt unique to teenagers.The golden cat's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the file he handed back, more seemed to be depressed.

"Probably." Bai Zai said calmly.

Hearing his words, the boy seemed even more depressed.

"But that doesn't mean he can escape death."

Because of his cold speech, Yushiro raised his head in shock and looked at Bai Zai in confusion.Facing the young man's eyes, Bai Zai continued: "No matter what kind of injustice he suffered in the past, the fact that he slaughtered in the nest of maggots and covered up repeat offenders in the Soul Realm is beyond doubt. Therefore, no matter what, And kill him too."

And for the benefit of the nobles, this killer who has taken countless lives must be dealt with.

Thinking of this, Bai Zai closed his eyes for a while, then turned around and walked towards the door of the archives room.During his short but thoughtful pause, Yushiro was holding a lantern and a file in his hand, staring blankly at his back.

——No matter what difficulties you have, as a nobleman, you must shoulder your own responsibilities.Abandoning responsibility and leaving is not allowed under any circumstances.

Not to mention taking revenge on innocent people for what happened to them.

"Sorry, I have to ask Kurosaki-kun to rest here tonight."

Chimori looked at Kurosaki Ichigo apologetically, and Ichigo sat on the tatami mat, looked at Chimoni who brought him white water, and hurriedly stood up to take the tea tray.

"Thank you!" Ichigo nodded to Chimori, "Today is really troublesome for you!"

Because the first person who discovered him and Aizen was Hinata, and Hina didn't report when she saw Aizen, so she was temporarily banned from participating in the investigation.Ichigo also witnessed how busy Hirako was after the sun went down—after Hirako was injured, she shouldered the duties of the captain and deputy captain alone, and also listened to the reports of other officers.In the service room, just her official documents piled on the table almost covered her, but today, because of his and Aizen's arrival, Hina ran around all day, it seemed that she was going to work all night.

"It's okay, Kurosaki-kun is too, I really need to trouble you today!"

Hinata smiled softly; Ichigo was surprised to find that he could find some traces of Aizen in her smile.

It was like the smile in the corner of his eyes that he didn't even know when he mentioned Hirako.

It wasn't until this moment that Ichigo felt that he hadn't made a wrong decision.

"And thank you, Kurosaki-kun, for what you said to Captain Aizen at the captain's place."

Speaking of this, Hinamori smiled gratefully at Ichigo: "I can't think of anyone other than myself who has trust in Captain Aizen... So I am really grateful to Kurosaki-kun."

That guy Aizen has really good subordinates... Well, it's better than Grimmjow and the like!

Facing Hina Mori who was smiling and thanking him like this, Ichigo didn't know how to speak.It feels weird to say thank you or say you're welcome.So he could only smile at Chisen, nodded and said, "Aizen...will not disappoint."

While the conversation was going on, the twelfth division's monitoring of Heiqiang suddenly burst into blur.

"Captain! The black cavity monitor is out of order again!"

"what!"

Nirvana ran over in a broken state, knocked on the console and looked at the monitor with snowflakes on the screen and yelled in a broken voice: "Isn't Aizen already in Soul Realm? Why is the monitor still malfunctioning!"

"That, Captain..."

Ah Jin looked embarrassed: "Originally, the concentration of spirit particles in the black cavity was too high, and the monitor would be disturbed—not so much the failure caused by Aizen, but rather Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual pressure that cleared the spirit essence chaos. Let the monitor be temporarily usable... This is also one of the assumptions in your theory!"

Moreover, the monitors in the black cavity, because there is no funding approved by the captain, are all modified from the special monitors for breaking the boundary produced by the soul world, and it is normal that they cannot be used in the black cavity.

"Tch! Debug this thing right now! Hmph, I'm counting on this honest job now, and Jingle Chunshui will approve the funding for me!"

At the same time, in Pingzi's dormitory, the black cavity opened without a sound.

A figure crawled out from the black cavity, carrying a lot of things on its back, and fell to the ground with difficulty.

"... Where did Mr. Lanran open his black cavity..."

While muttering, he put the miscellaneous things he had carried on his back on the ground, and after taking a long breath, he began to look around.When he saw the record player by the windowsill, he didn't look very well.

"...Is this okay?!"

Urahara moved his shoulders a bit, twitching the corners of his mouth into a wry smile, and muttered, "Mr. Hirako, you dote on him too much..."

Allowing Lanran to directly set the coordinates of Heiqiang in his own room, this naked favor also dazzled his eyes.Urahara really couldn't imagine why Aizen would always chill at him with a stern face every time—compared with the relationship he had fought to the death before, Hirako's change was so fast that he was stunned.

But before continuing to lament, he has to do some other things first.Pulling on the black cloak that concealed the Reiatsu, Urahara showed a serious expression.
