Chapter 178 176 Higashino Hideichi? High-Level Undercover!

Chapter 178 176. Higashino Hideichi? Senior undercover!

Half an hour had passed since Higashino Hideichi entered the room, and Byakuya Kuchiki outside the room had not seen any signs of the two people inside ending their conversation, or even any signs of a breakdown in the conversation.

This made Byakuya Kuchiki feel strange.

Didn't Higashino Hideichi already become a retainer of the Tsunayashiro family?

How could he still chat with Kyoraku Shunsui in a friendly manner for such a long time?

He had just taken over the position of the head of the Kuchiki family from his father not long ago, and he still didn't have a thorough understanding of what had happened in the Soul Society in the past, as well as the current situation in the Soul Society.

At this time, Byakuya Kuchiki's wife Kuchiki Hime brought a pot of sake over. Looking at Hime's weak body, Byakuya couldn't help but reveal a trace of heartache in his eyes,

"Hise, why do you do this kind of thing yourself? Just let the servants do this kind of thing!"

Byakuya Kuchiki immediately stepped forward and took the tray from Kuchiki Hime.

"How can others approach here?

Even Byakuya, you have to stay here and not let others get close. Obviously, the identities of the two people talking in that room must be very important. I must come here in person~"

Kuchiki Hime gave Byakuya a gentle smile and said.

"You. Leave this to me. Just go back and have a good rest."

Kuchiki Byakuya stretched out his empty left hand, gently stroked his wife's face, and then asked Hime to go back and rest immediately.

His wife has always been very smart, which Byakuya Kuchiki certainly knows. This is one of the reasons why he likes Hime.

It's a pity that Hime's body is very poor because she has been wandering in Rukongai for a long time, and she always faints for no reason.

Perhaps I should find her lost sister Rukia for my wife as soon as possible. In this way, with her sister's company, Hime might be in a better mood every day.

Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Hime's leaving back, thought silently in his heart, and then turned and walked towards the room.

There is a person in this room, and his identity is of course very important, because this is a death god who should not come to his Kuchiki family alone under such circumstances. Kuchiki Byakuya can imagine how serious the reaction will be if he reveals today's incident.

Fortunately, he is not that kind of person.

Moreover, Kyoraku Shunsui deliberately chose his Kuchiki family as the meeting place, isn't it because the video hall, which is spread all over the Soul Society and even has many surveillance points in the real world and Hueco Mundo, is not near the residence of their five noble families?

Holding sake, standing outside the door, Kuchiki Byakuya took a deep breath. This is not the first time he has seen the death god who is somewhat legendary in the Soul Society. It can be said that the death god has achieved the ultimate that a commoner with mediocre talent in Rukongai can do in the past thousand years.

However, Kuchiki Byakuya has a hunch that the death god he will see later may be slightly different from the death god he knew before.

"So, this is not the first time you have encountered a similar situation?

Those guys have also created a captain-general?"

As soon as he pushed open the door, Kuchiki Byakuya saw Kyoraku Shunsui frowning and said in a serious tone.

He rarely saw Kyoraku Shunsui like this. For the always unruly Kyoraku Shunsui, the fact that he could make such an expression must represent a very serious situation.

"To be precise, it is the young version of the captain-general. The strength of his spiritual pressure is not high. Even with my strength at that time, I can still deal with it, and it seems that he can't use Bankai. Of course, it is also possible that his body can't withstand the backlash brought by the captain-general's Zanpakutō Bankai, and that version of the captain-general gave me a very dull feeling, just like Ni Gu Saizou in this state."

Higashino Hideichi glanced at Kuchiki Byakuya who pushed the door in, and then looked at Kyoraku Shunsui, and found that the latter's expression did not change at all. He knew that this was probably Kyoraku Shunsui using this method to let Kuchiki Byakuya, the head of one of the five nobles, endorse him.

Kyoraku Shunsui was telling Higashino Hideichi not to worry about the consequences of betraying the Tsunayashiro family, because the Kuchiki family would definitely stand behind him.

As the two most powerful noble families in Soul Society, the Kuchiki family does have such strength and confidence.

This is incomparable to the other five noble families, the Kabuto family, the Shiba family, and even the Shihouin family, which has been seriously injured by the former family master's "betrayal" of Soul Society.

"If I remember correctly, you said before that the rebellious Saizo was not in this state at the beginning. He was originally more like a living god of death?"

Kyoraku Shunsui said.

Higashino Hideichi glanced at Byakuya Kuchiki, who looked puzzled, and knew that Kyoraku Shunsui was giving Byakuya Kuchiki a brief introduction.

"Not only that, his spiritual pressure will not be affected at all in that Dankai, as if it will never be exhausted. The huge pressure that Dankai exerts on us Shinigami all the time is not for the rebellious Saizo, at least from my observation. I also felt this when I faced the young captain in Osaka Prefecture in the past."

Higashino Hideichi nodded. To be honest, this was exactly what had been bothering Higashino Hideichi. Even Aizen couldn't explain this problem.

Not to mention Mayuri Kurotsuchi. Now Mayuri Kurotsuchi has put aside the soul transformation plan and focused on studying the Nigumo Caizo.

"Unlimited supply of spirit particles? This seems..."

Byakuya Kuchiki said after thinking for a while.

"It's very common, at least for most of us Shinigami, because most of the time, when we are in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo where spirit particles are abundant, we don't have to worry about the situation of spiritual power exhaustion, because when we use our abilities, we basically use spiritual pressure to directly call the spirit particles from the outside world, not directly using the spirit particles in our own body."

Higashino Hideichi guessed what Byakuya Kuchiki wanted to say.

"This is indeed a special ability that sounds scary, but the actual combat performance is somewhat disappointing.

But as I just said, this disappointing premise is based on the fact that our battle with them takes place in Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, or the real world. Then their advantage is basically equivalent to nothing for us, but what if the battle takes place in a place like Dankai?"

Hitano Hideichi's worry is not without reason.

Because of the research on Dankai, from the information he found from Kurotsuchi Mayuri, it can be found that the earliest batch of research began when the Gotei 13th Division was just established nearly a thousand years ago.

The captain of the 12th Division of the first 13th Division, Zenjoji Arihime, had already begun to consider conquering Dankai in that still wild period.

It's a pity that because of the invasion of Yhwach, in order to resist Yhwach, the first generation captain died in that era, and the research on Dankai also stagnated at that time.

Because apart from the first generation captain, there is no other Shinigami who can freely enter Dankai for research.

It was not until the sudden appearance of Yushiro Oshu that this situation changed.

Originally, in the original plot, Yushiro Oshu in the future could also successfully master the Dankai and become the master of the Dankai after Aizen successfully merged the Hogyoku and destroyed the Kudo in the Dankai.

And now, if what Nikotsu Saizo said is true, if the captains of the first generation 13th Division can really be pulled back to the present world, with the efforts of the first generation 12th Division captain, Zenjoji Arihime, who can also enter and exit the Dankai freely, it is possible to master the Dankai.

"This, is impossible?"

Kuchiki Byakuya said in disbelief. Such a thing is still a bit too shocking for him who is still young.

But for Kyoraku Shunsui who has lived from a thousand years ago to the present, such a thing is possible.

"Perhaps, Shuichi, it's time for you to call back Kisaragi Shusuke and the others!"

Kyoraku Shunsui was also silent for a while, and then looked at Higashino Shuichi and said solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, Higashino Hideichi's emotions fluctuated a little.

"What do you mean by this?"

What surprised Higashino Hideichi was not that Kyoraku Shunsui knew about Kisaragi Shusuke, because Kisaragi Shusuke, Matsumoto Rangiku and others followed him to escape to the world, which was not a secret in the Soul Society.

What surprised Higashino Hideichi was that this time, Kyoraku Shunsui actually used Kisaragi Shusuke as the main body, instead of Urahara Kisuke, who he often talked about.

This shows that Kyoraku Shunsui knew very well that Kisaragi Shusuke and his group, including Higashino Hideichi himself, were not together with Urahara Kisuke.

"There are some things you may not know. After you disappeared from Osaka Prefecture, the head of the Kabuto family returned to Soul Society with some Fullbringers. I met Miss Kabuto Sayaka and, with her consent, went to the living world. There, I had a conversation with Kisaragi Shusuke."

Kyoraku Shunsui slowly told the past that Higashino Hideichi didn't know, and at the same time solved another long-standing confusion in Higashino Hideichi's heart, that is, why Kisaragi Shusuke and others went to the West Branch Office after he disappeared.

Logically speaking, with Kisaragi Shusuke's personality and his dissatisfaction with Urahara Kisuke, after he disappeared, he would never take Matsumoto Rangiku and Kabuto Sayaka to the West Branch Office to find Urahara Kisuke.

And since he disappeared, Kabuto Sayaka should have no reason to stay in the living world, and she should have returned to Soul Society long ago.

In the narration of Kyoraku Shunsui, he had a very "friendly" exchange with Kisaragi Shusuke in the real world, and successfully used his own strength to make Kisaragi Shusuke believe that he really had no ill will towards Higashino Hideichi and other Shinigami who rebelled from the Soul Society.

And taking advantage of Higashino Hideichi's ambiguous attitude towards the Soul Society at that time, Kyoraku Shunsui successfully tricked Kisaragi Shusuke to the West Shokudo Bureau to find out where the lost shallow daggers went for Kyoraku Shunsui.

Kyoraku Shunsui's promise to Kisaragi Shusuke was that after the matter was accomplished, he would do his best to let Higashino Hideichi get rid of the label of a rebellious Shinigami and return to the Soul Society.

When hearing this, Higashino Hideichi had to admire Kyoraku Shunsui. This trick of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha and pushing the boat with the current was really beautiful. Kisaragi Shusuke, a straightforward child, was stunned again and again by Kyoraku Shunsui, an old oil stick, in the case of information asymmetry.

It was completely a model of being sold by others and still counting money for others.

But this cannot be blamed on Kisaragi Shusuke, because from Kisaragi Shusuke's perspective, he was indeed considering Higashino Hideichi himself.

And Kabuto Ma Sayoko probably went with the idea of ​​seeing new things.

As for Matsumoto Rangiku?

She was probably drifting with the flow. Higashino Hideichi was gone, and his only two ties in the world were Kabuto Ma Sayoko and Kisaragi Shusuke.

But what Kyoraku Shunsui did not expect was that Kisaragi Shusuke had been gone for almost 20 years, and there was no sign of him coming back.

But Kyoraku Shunsui believed that in nearly 20 years, Kisaragi Shusuke must have found out some information at the Nishisho Bureau.

"Having said that, you may be disappointed, Shunsui. I don't have the means to contact Shusuke and the others. If I had, I would have contacted them long before I knew what you told me today!"

After listening to this, Higashino Hideichi did not feel any dissatisfaction with Kyoraku Shunsui's approach.

To be honest, standing in the position of Kyoraku Shunsui, he did nothing wrong, and in the years when he was not in Soul Society, it was undoubtedly a good thing that Kisaragi Hidesuke and his group went to the West Branch Bureau.

After all, if they stayed in the East Branch Bureau, without the help of himself and Urahara Kisuke, Kisaragi Hidesuke and Matsumoto Rangiku would most likely be targeted by Aizen.

When Aizen does things, he doesn't care whether Kisaragi Hidesuke and his group follow him, Higashino Hideichi.

In order to know what happened to him, why he suddenly disappeared, and where Urahara Kisuke and his group are, Higashino Hideichi believes that Aizen can do such a thing.

But Higashino Hideichi had no choice. He didn't know that there would be such a bizarre Fullbring at that time, let alone leaving contact information for Kisaragi Hidesuke and his group in advance.

"You don't have to worry about this, Hideichi, because Miss Sayako has already told me how to contact them."

Kyoraku Shunsui said with a smile.

Higashino Hideichi was surprised that Sayako actually had such a skill?

Why didn't he know before?

However, after Kyoraku Shunsui told him the method, Higashino Hideichi smiled bitterly.

It turned out that he had always known this method, but he had never thought about it in this way.

Now that there is a way to contact, Higashino Hideichi believes that under his influence, Kisaragi Shusuke and others will definitely come back soon, so the arrangement of these people has become a new problem.

In this regard, Kyoraku Shunsui's solution is also very simple.

Sword Hunters!

Aren't Kisaragi Shusuke and Matsumoto Rangiku the most suitable candidates for Higashino Hideichi's current Sword Hunters?

"Haha, I thought Shunsui would propose that they return to the sequence of the Gotei 13th Division. In this way, you will have another means to clamp me down.

Can I understand your suggestion as aiding the enemy?"

Higashino Hideichi laughed.

Kyoraku Shunsui's proposal is in line with Higashino Hideichi's own ideas. In his original plan, Kisaragi Shusuke and Matsumoto Rangiku should join his Sword Hunters.

"That's based on the premise that we have to be enemies, but I think, at least now, we all have a common enemy, right?"

Kyoraku Shunsui said with a smile and raised his glass.

Higashino Hideichi didn't know if the common enemy Kyoraku Shunsui was talking about was the people behind Nigu Saizo or Tsunayashiro Tokinada?

Or, in Kyoraku Shunsui's mind, these two groups of people are actually the same group of people?

Higashino Hideichi felt that other people shouldn't be like that, but Kyoraku Shunsui...

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

"In that case, I have heard a phrase in the real world, called reciprocity. You have revealed so much information to me today, and I would feel bad if I don't give you some, so I will also give you a glimpse.

According to my understanding, the mastermind behind the incident in Osaka Prefecture that year should be what you guessed.

I guess, Shunsui, you should have rarely been to the 12th Division after Urahara Kisuke resigned as the captain of the 12th Division, right?

In the laboratory defense network of the current 12th Division Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri, there is a guy similar to the current Ni Gu Saizo, but that guy has the face of the captain of the 3rd Division, Gin Ichimaru, who I hate very much.

And I got some interesting news from Kurotsuchi Mayuri, that is, this technology of his was not created by himself, but was given to him by the former captain of the 12th Division named Miyazaki Sakai Masato who once defected from the Soul Society~"

This information was learned from Kurotsuchi Mayuri when Higashino Hideichi just came back from the fictional future and returned to the Soul Society.

Higashino Hideichi originally thought that this was just insignificant news, but now it seems that the name of Masato Miyazaki Sakai will probably appear frequently in the current Soul Society in the future.

As a veteran captain, Kyoraku Shunsui is naturally not too unfamiliar with this name.

Especially since this person was once a captain in the Soul Society.

"I know."

Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes were filled with solemnity again.

Because he is a new generation of Shinigami, Higashino Hideichi may not know what this name means, but Kyoraku Shunsui knows very well what kind of waves the owner of this name has caused in the Soul Society.

That is an extremely dangerous Shinigami!

After hearing this, Kuchiki Byakuya, who was standing by, finally became convinced that Higashino Hideichi was a high-level undercover agent that Kyoraku Shunsui had planted in the Tsunayashiro family.

As expected of the captain-general's favorite disciple, this method was amazing!

Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Kyoraku Shunsui with admiration.
