PDLP Chapter 606 Aizen's Conspiracy
Chapter 606 Aizen's Conspiracy
Yu Zi was momentarily dazed before realizing what he meant by "night raid."
Wasn't that just a joke I made unconsciously?
Yu Zi's eye twitched: "No, you idiot."
Gin Ichimaru frowned slightly: "Then how did you find out?"
Ichimaru Gin didn't care about Ikuko's insults; instead, his heart skipped a beat.
If his identity wasn't discovered through details, then it must have been discovered through other means.
Yuko also noticed the moment when Ichimaru Gin was nervous, and smiled slightly: "That's the secret."
I feel there's something strange about the timing of this tension. It's a sudden tension that comes after all the possibilities have been ruled out, and it's even more intense than when my identity was discovered.
"Now you should answer my question, right?" Yuko didn't dwell on Ichimaru Gin's strange behavior, and looked around. "What are you planning to do by luring me here?"
"No, not here, this is the camp where the Ninth Division is stationed."
Gin Ichimaru's expression changed several times, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally slipped away and headed into the depths of the forest.
Yuko had already noticed Gin Ichimaru's actions through her clear vision, but she did not stop him. There was no point in stopping him at this point, since she could see what she wanted to know just by walking a few more steps.
……
Time rewinds slightly.
In the hazy night, the bright moon hung high in the sky.
In the clearing behind the forest below, at the camp where the Ninth Division was stationed, a series of booming explosions rang out.
"Don't do this..." The Third Division Captain, Rojuro Touhashi, who came to help, lay on the ruins with his face covered in blood and his body covered in wounds. "Kensei... would never be violent towards a girl."
In the open space ahead, Kensei Muguruma, wearing a holographic mask and having lost his mind, is beating Lisa with all his might.
This is what they saw when their special forces arrived.
Kensei Muguruma, the captain of the Ninth Division, wore a strange mask and indiscriminately killed his own team members. His spiritual pressure also changed, and he became completely ethereal. He could even easily break free from the binding spells of the 60th Division.
Even the vice-captain of the Ninth Division, Kunan Shiro, was the same.
What happened to these two people is still unknown, but if things continue like this, they will definitely die here.
Just as Lisa was about to suffer a severe blow, at the crucial moment, Vice-Master Onikiri Yushōda Hachigen intervened.
"Binding Spell Number Ninety-Nine: Forbidden!"
A long black cross suddenly appeared beneath Kensei Muguruma's feet, and Kensei Muguruma stood in the center of this bandage.
A moment later, the black cross-shaped ribbons wrapped around Kensei Muguruma, who was standing in the center, like living black snakes, binding him tightly.
The immense force caused Kensei Muguruma to lose control and fall headfirst to the ground.
These black belts bound Kensei Rokkaku tightly, like ropes.
"The Binding Spell Number Ninety-Nine doesn't even need chanting?" Hirako Shinji, who was also somewhat ragged, turned his head and praised, "You're really something."
"It's still a bit of a stretch..." A few beads of sweat appeared on Yuzhaotian Hachigen's cheeks, clearly indicating that casting a high-level demonic technique instantly was not easy for him.
Releasing the Kido is essentially like navigating a maze. Low-level Kido is like the simplest maze, where spiritual energy only needs to be redirected to reach the destination. High-level Kido, on the other hand, is a much more complex and vast maze, and without daily practice, it is difficult to achieve instantaneous release without incantation.
The level of difficulty during this period is completely different.
"So, what should we do next?" After subduing Kensei Rokugurashi, Shinji Hirako asked Hachigen Ushōda, "Is there any way to deal with Kidō?"
"Even if you ask me, I really can't answer without knowing the reason..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Suddenly, Hiyori, who had been severely injured because she couldn't attack Kensei and the others and was being held by Shinji Hirako's waist, coughed lightly.
"Hiyori? What's wrong?" Shinji Hirako looked down at him. "Are you alright?"
"Xiao Bo, let's start by treating this guy."
“Mako…” Hiyori began with difficulty, “Let go…”
Hirako Mako looked down.
"let me go!"
Suddenly, a large amount of white liquid gushed from Hiyori's mouth.
As the slash passed over the unsuspecting Hirako Shinji, the white liquid began to writhe rapidly, quickly covering Hiyori's face and forming something resembling a bone mask.
"what!!!"
Rishiri looked up at the sky and let out a long roar.
"Hiyori?!"
"what happened?!"
The wounded group had no choice but to pick up their Zanpakuto again and surround Hiyori in the center.
Just as everyone was preparing to temporarily subdue Hiyori, the surrounding scene suddenly went dark.
"what is this?"
Amidst the astonishment and uncertainty of the crowd, a Zanpakuto slid across the back of the 7th Division Captain, Aikawa Rao, spurting out a large amount of blood.
As the darkness dissipated, Hirako Shinji, who had been attacked by Hiyori, cast his gaze toward the person behind the scenes.
"It's...it's you?!"
"Tosen!!"
Standing in front of everyone was Kaname Tosen, the captain of the Ninth Division.
Hirako Shinji looked troubled, his expression a mixture of anger and confusion: "Why would you betray your captain?"
“How is this betrayal?” Suddenly, a calm and gentle voice rang out from behind Hirako Shinji.
The anger on Hirako Shinji's face dissipated with the sound of that voice, a voice he absolutely did not want to hear.
"He's very loyal, he's just faithfully carrying out... my orders." Aizen Sousuke slowly emerged from the forest, Zanpakuto in hand, and said gently, "Please don't be so harsh on him, okay?"
"Captain Hirako."
"Aizen...!!"
Shinji Hirako gritted his teeth and turned around.
"So it really was you who did it."
"You found out? You're quite something." Although he said this, Aizen's face showed no panic whatsoever, as if he were merely an observer asking, "When did you find out?"
"Do you even need to tell me?" Hirako Shinji looked to the side with a somewhat troubled expression. "I knew that even when you were still in your mother's womb."
This situation is not good.
"I see." Aizen said calmly.
"Actually, I've always felt that you're a dangerous and untrustworthy person, which is why I chose you as the vice-captain of the Fifth Division," Hirako Shinji said with difficulty. "That was all to keep an eye on you, Aizen..."
"Yes, I'm very grateful to you, Captain Hirako." Aizen's lips curled up slightly. "It's thanks to your suspicion of me that I didn't notice anything amiss."
"Didn't I just say I already knew?" Hirako Shinji said calmly.
"No." The man with black-rimmed glasses lowered his head slightly as Aizen looked down, the bright moonlight blurring his vision. "You probably haven't noticed yet, have you?"
"The people who have walked beside you this past month..."
"It wasn't me, actually."
"...What?" Hirako Shinji's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Let the enemy be at my mercy, and misjudge everything in this world." Aizen slowly raised his Zanpakuto. "That is the true power of my Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu."
"I call that ability complete hypnosis."
Shinji Hirako's face showed a look of horror: "Complete...hypnosis?"
He was completely fooled?
“Captain Hirako, you are a perceptive person,” Aizen said calmly. “If you treated me the way other captains treat their lieutenants, you might have seen through me.”
"But you didn't, because you don't trust me."
"So they always keep a certain distance from me, they can't open their hearts to me, they don't give me any information, and they don't allow me to participate in anything."
That's why you didn't notice.
Aizen calmly uttered words that gradually drove Hirako Shinji to despair.
"The person who will replace me, I have already made him remember my usual behavior and how I react to other people."
"If you knew me better, you would have noticed the difference in your demeanor or actions."
"So the reason you've fallen is because you don't understand me at all."
“Oh, right, there’s one more thing.” Aizen took a half step forward. “You mentioned earlier that you chose me to monitor me.”
"That's completely wrong."
"Because your excessive suspicion and wariness of me is just too ideal for my plans."
"so……"
"It's not that you chose me, but that I chose you."
"Captain Hirako."
"Perhaps you should apologize to your companions. It was because you chose me that you and these companions are now lying on the ground, unable to get up."
"Aizen!!!"
Aizen's last words completely enraged Hirako. Despite his injuries, Hirako slowly stood up, gripped his Zanpakuto tightly at his waist, and unleashed an astonishing spiritual pressure.
however……
"Forehead……"
Large amounts of white liquid gushed from Hirako Shinji's facial features and quickly spread across his face.
"Damn it! Even I..." Hirako's rationality gradually crumbled. "Aizen! What on earth is going on?!"
"What exactly did you do?!"
"Thank you for accepting my provocation," Aizen said calmly. "It seems that being in a state of excitement makes Hollowfication proceed even faster."
"However... even a captain-level Hollowfication is completely incomparable to that person's finished product?"
"So, it really wasn't my problem?"
"But that woman herself is a more special being."
"Etherealization? Woman? What are you talking about?" Hirako asked unwillingly, struggling to maintain her composure.
Aizen said calmly, "You don't need to know."
"Pingzi..."
At this moment, Hiyori slowly stood up, seemingly regaining some of her composure.
"Yes." Aizen gave a calm instruction.
Kaname Tosen drew his Zanpakuto, and as a streak of blood spurted out, Hiyori's figure fell once again.
"Let's end all of this, Captain Hirako." Aizen ignored the commotion behind him, looked at Hirako Shinji, whose body was already half-hollowed out, and slowly drew his Zanpakuto from his waist. "In the end, you'd better remember this."
"Visible betrayals are easy to guess; what's truly terrifying are the unseen betrayals."
"farewell."
"By the way, as experimental subjects, you are rather disappointing defective products."
"hateful!!!"
Just as Aizen's raised Zanpakuto was about to fall, and Hirako was in a fit of impotent rage, a figure swiftly appeared behind Aizen.
As Aizen turned his head slightly, his figure flashed.
A sword flashed down, severing the Fifth Division badge from Aizen's arm.
"Oh...that's somewhat unexpected." Aizen's gaze remained calm as he looked at the newcomer. "Is there something you need?"
"Captain Urahara, Master Goryu no Daiki."
Wearing cloaks that concealed their spiritual pressure, Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Kishiryu appeared before Aizen.
"I'm going to kill them." Tosen made a gesture as if to draw his sword.
Aizen raised his hand in refusal: "No, it's not necessary."
Tosen Kaname seemed to want to say something more: "But..."
"Yes, I said... no need."
Kaname Tosen broke out in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down: "Please forgive my presumptuous words and actions just now!"
"Kisuke, Kisuke, why did you come? You idiot..."
"What is that ugly mask?"
"You really dare to say that..." Although Hirako Shinji was arguing with Urahara, he felt much more at ease.
Kisuke Urahara glanced at Hiyori, who was still breathing, and breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief before turning to face Aizen.
"Vice-Captain Aizen."
"Yes."
"what are you doing here?"
"As you can see, I also happened to discover members of the special forces handling cases of missing souls who were injured in battle," Aizen lied without changing his expression. "I was just about to try to save them."
Kisuke Urahara calmly exposed him: "Why did you lie?"
What he couldn't understand was, even after things had come to this point, was this guy... joking?
"Lying? What's wrong with that?"
No, that's not what I care about.
"Injured because of battle? Is this considered an injury?" Kisuke Urahara stared calmly at Aizen. "Don't be ridiculous, this is just Hollowfication."
Aizen grinned: "You were one of them after all."
Kisuke Urahara's pupils contracted slightly, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Why are you surprised?" Aizen smiled slightly. "Captain Urahara's experiment should be progressing more smoothly than mine."
"What, what are you saying?" Kisuke Urahara's surprised expression showed a hint of confusion.
Aizen gave a subtle smile and looked at the woods behind Kisuke Urahara: "But speaking of which, Gin is a bit slow. Has he been discovered?"
Just as Kisuke Urahara was about to ask a question, he heard the sound of wind rushing through the woods behind him.
"Vice-Captain Aizen."
Urahara Kisuke and Tetsusai instinctively turned around and saw a figure that looked exactly like Aizen Sousuke emerge from the forest.
Tessai Goryu looked shocked: "Aizen... what is this...?"
"If it's not because this ability has such a wide reach, then it's because everyone else has also been affected by your ability."
Following closely behind Gintoki Ichimaru, Ikuko slowly emerged from the dark woods.
Kisuke Urahara's eyes widened: "Ikuko?!"
Why are you here?!
Yuko greeted him: "Hey, Kisuke, dressed like that, trying to go into some girl's room again?"
