Chapter 148 146 Attending the Wedding, Aizen Takes Action

Chapter 148 146. Aizen is taking action at the wedding

For Higashino Hideichi, there is only one answer to how to get a subordinate who will not be disliked by Tsunayashiro Kambaru, that is, to manually create another traitor in Soul Society.

Or the kind of traitor that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni cannot tolerate the most.

Obviously, the soul transformation plan that has been in progress for a long time is the best entry point.

This technology, which would have been listed as a prohibited technology by the Central 46th Room in the original plot, would naturally not be accepted by conservatives like Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni because it involves human souls and the power of Hollows.

Therefore, when Kurotsuchi Mayuri said that the next stage of the soul transformation experiment was dangerous, Higashino Hideichi raised his hands without thinking and agreed with Kurotsuchi Mayuri's idea.

This is like someone handing you a pillow when you want to take a nap.

So whether it is Higashino Hideichi or Kurotsuchi Mayuri, both of them feel that they met too late for the subsequent implementation of this plan.

Of course, Higashino Hideichi's target could not be Kurotsuchi Mayuri, or even if Higashino Hideichi wanted Kurotsuchi Mayuri, he would not use such means.

Because for a scientist like Kurotsuchi Mayuri who only cares about research and has no standard of good and evil, honor and disgrace, or even sense of responsibility, if you want to cooperate with him, you don't need to force him into your camp.

And this is the difference between Kurotsuchi Mayuri and Urahara Kisuke.

Compared with Urahara Kisuke, who is full of tricks and wants to stuff eight hundred minds into his body, Kurotsuchi Mayuri is more like a pure scientific researcher.

Higashino Hideichi's original purpose of coming here this time was for Yushi Ousu.

There is nothing more suitable for executing this plan than Yushi Ousu, the original small boss.

And Yushi Ousu himself has no opinion on this.

As a person who has certain research talents and is eager to show himself, he has long wanted to get rid of Kurotsuchi Mayuri and work alone.

Not to mention, this time, Higashino Hideichi promised him that no matter what the final result was, Higashino Hideichi would protect him in front of the Gotei 13th Division and absorb him into the Sword Hunters.

It can be said that the last stone in Yushi Ou's heart was gently put down by Higashino Hideichi.

Therefore, such a plan that will cause a lot of waves in the Soul Society was initially formulated in this small underground laboratory of the 12th Division.

However, plans are plans. If you want to really implement them, you still need to wait for a good time and place.

And one day during this waiting process, Higashino Hideichi received a gorgeous and exquisite wedding invitation in the newly built Sword Hunters residence of the Tsunamiyo family.

"To the Sword Hunter Chief Higashino Hideichi"

The content of the invitation is concise and to the point. It can be seen that the person who sent the invitation to Higashino Hideichi did not seem to attach much importance to inviting Higashino Hideichi, and it is even possible that he sent the invitation to Higashino Hideichi just out of necessary courtesy.

The content of the invitation was only one, inviting Higashino Hideichi to attend the wedding of Byakuya Kuchiki, the eldest son of Kuchiki Sojun, the current head of the Kuchiki family.

"Byakuya Kuchiki's wedding?"

When Higashino Hideichi saw this name, he naturally thought of another important person, Rukia Kuchiki.

Of course, at this point in time, Rukia should not have been given the surname Kuchiki.

She might even be in the stage of wandering.

If it were a few decades ago, Higashino Hideichi might have a great interest in Byakuya Kuchiki and Rukia Kuchiki, and might even take the initiative to help Byakuya Kuchiki find Rukia, the younger sister of his wife Kuchiki Hime.

It's a pity that times have changed, and Higashino Hideichi no longer needs to do such things to please the main characters of the original Soul Society.

For Higashino Hideichi, now that he holds the key to the shadow world, it has become less important whether Kurosaki Ichigo is there.

The wish he made to try his best to survive after he first came to the world of death gods is not a difficult thing for him now.

The main problem that troubles Higashino Hideichi now has become how to avoid being targeted by the stupid monk of the Soul King Palace and cut into a human stick, and how to find his own foothold in the future when he is in a stalemate with the Gotei 13.

But also because of Higashino Hideichi's current identity, it would be strange if he, the chief sword hunter of the sword hunters who is directly under the jurisdiction of the nobles, did not go to the wedding of the eldest son of the head of the Kuchiki family, one of the five nobles in Soul Society second only to the Tsunayashiro family.

So, at the wedding of Byakuya Kuchiki five days later, among the 13th Gotei Shinigami, Higashino Hideichi, the lonely chief sword hunter, seemed particularly out of place.

"Isn't that the former Vice Captain Higashino? Shouldn't we go over and say hello to him?"

"Are you stupid? He is now the Great Sword Hunter Chief. Haven't you heard? The Sword Hunters were established to deal with the Shinigami of our Gotei 13th Division!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Although the Sword Hunters are nominally in the order of our Gotei Thirteen Division, they actually do not obey the orders of the captain-in-chief, but only the orders of the nobles."

"I see, no wonder I heard that the Sword Hunter was a traitor in the past. I heard that before he defected to Soul Society, he fought with many of our captains and almost killed Captain Soi-Fong of the Second Division!"

There were many Shinigami at the wedding, which was worthy of being the wedding of the future head of the Kuchiki family, Byakuya Kuchiki. But at the same time, there were also many rumors at the scene, so many that even though Higashino Hideichi had already sat in a corner and did not use his spiritual sense to listen to the whispers of the Shinigami around him, he could still hear a lot of discussions about him, and most of them were unbearable to hear.

Higashino Hideichi did not know how the fact that he used Bankai·Borrowed Knife to kill people and banned the release of other captains' Zanpakutō that day ended up being spread that he was going to deal with the other Shinigami. Presumably, the Tsunayashiro family must have contributed a lot.

The latter had done a lot of work behind the scenes to weld himself to the big ship of their Tsunayashiro family.

It's a pity that these people don't know that their actions will only benefit a man who claims to be an insignificant person in the end.

Fortunately, Higashino Hideichi has always been loyal to another man, and these words are not very hurtful to him.

After all, no matter from which standpoint, Higashino Hideichi is destined to stand on the opposite side of the Gotei 13th Division, and these people are not wrong.

"What exactly do you want to do, Master Hideichi?"

Suddenly, a petite figure came to the opposite side of Higashino Hideichi who was drinking alone, and the persistent eyes stared at Higashino Hideichi and asked.

"Before answering your question, I think I need to ask you a question first. Are you asking me as the little girl Kozue Aya I knew in the past, or as the captain of the second division of the Gotei 13th Division, Soi-Fong?"

Higashino Hideichi shook the wine glass in his hand and said casually.

"Is there any difference between the two?"

Sui Feng has a small head and likes to think directly.

"If it was Kozue, I would answer that I just wanted to tell the other people in Soul Society that none of us were traitors at the beginning, and we were not the ones who did the wrong thing. So after the people from the Tsunaya family found me and told me that they were willing to give me such a chance to clear my grievances, I agreed without hesitation;

And if it was Soi Feng, I would tell you that Yamamoto was wrong. The order of this Soul Society has become shabby because of his corruption. The Gotei 13 is no longer a symbol of justice. I came back this time to reshape the new order of Soul Society. I would tell him, tell you, the Gotei 13, that those Shinigami who you identified as traitors may not really be traitors. The reason why they are traitors is just because you roughly defined them as traitors, that's all."

Hideichi Higashino knew that on the surface, Soi Feng was asking himself, but behind it, weren't the other Shinigami in the Gotei 13 asking themselves?

In addition to the nobles at Tsunayashiro's house that day, in addition to Aizen and Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Higashino Hideichi believed that every Shinigami of the Gotei 13 had countless questions in his heart about his strong return.

Especially now, a month after the announcement of the establishment of the Sword Hunters, the entire Sword Hunters still only have Higashino Hideichi, and there must be countless people who want to see who will be the first person to be recruited into the Sword Hunters?

"So, Master Shuichi, do you still firmly believe that in that incident, you were framed by the current captain of the third division, Gin Ichimaru, the captain of the fifth division, Sosuke Aizen, and the captain of the ninth division, Kaname Tosen?"

After listening to Higashino Shuichi's answer, Soi-Fong selectively ignored Higashino Shuichi's later words. For her, the good news is that Master Shuichi seems to be the same Master Shuichi as before, and the bad news is that Master Shuichi's insistence is impossible to be recognized.

"But Master Shuichi, you have to know that on that day, whether it was Gin Ichimaru, Captain Tosen Kaname, or Captain Sosuke Aizen, the three captains had very sufficient alibis, and you only have your "It's just one-sided. The Central 46th Office won't believe you, and the Captain-General won't believe you either."

"I know, so I'm back in person, right?" Higashino Hideichi looked at Soi-Fong, and said with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, "Whether it's Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tosen, or Sosuke Aizen, I will catch them. One day, I will seek justice for myself and for all the Shinigami who were wronged!"

"Master Shuichi, have you ever thought of other possibilities? For example, that day, you were blinded by someone?"

Soi-Fong knew that Higashino Hideichi's original intention was good, but she thought that Master Shuichi was likely on a completely wrong path.

No one knew why Master Shuichi was so sure that it was Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen who attacked him, but all the Shinigami knew that that day, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen both had perfect alibis.

This is the consensus in Soul Society, and Master Shuichi cannot break it.

However, Soi-Fong does not know that she is actually very close to the truth.

But the truth is very hard to believe.

After all, who would have thought that it was not Soi-Fong who was blinded, but the ordinary Shinigami whose five senses were deceived?

"Koya, I know what you want to say, but I have my persistence. It is this persistence that has brought me to where I am now. You don't have to persuade me anymore."

Soi-Fong shook his head.

You can never wake up a person who pretends to sleep.

Soi-Fong is now the one who pretends to sleep.

He believes that today's conversation between him and Soi-Fong will soon reach the ears of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and others.

This can be regarded as a shot of preventive medicine for Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. As for whether the old man can understand Soi-Fong's meaning, Soi-Fong cannot guarantee it.

But again, he has asked someone to bring the stuff to him, so he can do it when the time comes, so don't blame Higashino Hideichi for being unethical.

While Higashino Hideichi was attending Byakuya Kuchiki's wedding, an experimental Arrancar walked down the experimental table in the Hueco Mundo's Hueco Night Palace.

"According to your request, Lord Aizen, I have urgently adjusted this Hollow that was originally used to capture the power of the Shinigami to a state that is more inclined towards the Quincy. However, as far as I know, there should be no powerful Quincy in the current world. I wonder why Lord Aizen suddenly became interested in the Quincy?"

Saar Apollo looked at this imperfect product that was obviously rushed, and it was impossible to say that he was not dissatisfied in his heart.

After all, compared to those completely insignificant Quincy in the current world, Sar Apollo was obviously more inclined to study the Shinigami, who were their current enemy.

Especially before, this Arrancar, who had been specially modified to capture specific abilities for the Shinigami, took Saar Apollo more than ten years of research to finally achieve some results. As a result, not long ago, Aizen suddenly came to the Kyonyaku and said no.

Thinking back, it was Saar Apollo who first proposed that this was very inefficient, but who said that it must be done this way? Now that the clouds have finally been cleared and the sky is bright, another sentence says no, are you kidding me?

Unfortunately, Aizen couldn't hear Saar Apollo's inner thoughts, "No now, what about the future? Apollo, you have to learn to prepare for a rainy day."

Rain before it rains, prepare for it.

Saar Apollo responded humbly on the surface, but he didn't know how many times he had scolded Aizen Sosuke in his heart.

What is there for them to pay attention to about the completely insignificant Quincy in the world?

Let alone Achucas, a single Killian is enough to give those Quincy a hard time.

For this purpose, they specially modified an Arrancar specifically for dealing with Shinigami above the vice-captain level. Isn't this killing a chicken with a butcher knife?

"So, Lord Aizen, where do you want to send him? According to your order, we have recently sent a batch of ordinary lower-level Hollows to the real world, and have preliminarily determined the location of some Quincy in the real world. This is a partial list and distribution map of these Quincy that I compiled, and there is also the approximate strength of these Quincy estimated by me based on data feedback."

Saar Apollo handed a booklet to Aizen and said.

Aizen just glanced at it and saw a surname that made him feel inexplicably familiar at first glance.

With a raised corner of his mouth, he stretched out a hand and touched the name, and Aizen said softly: "Let's take her~"
