Chapter 675 Are you going to self-destruct with me?
"Yes!"
The Grim Reapers present responded in unison, and then used Shunpo to disappear from their original positions.
"Captain Unohana, Captain Aizen's body will be temporarily handled by your Fourth Division." After giving these brief instructions, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni left the Fourth Division.
Hitsugaya Toshiro gritted his teeth and ultimately had no choice but to leave.
Unohana Retsu watched Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's departing figure, then looked down at the mess below, a barely perceptible worry flashing across her face.
Things are getting more and more complicated...
Somewhere in Seireitei, space itself twisted without warning.
The next moment, Ichigo Kurosaki tumbled out of the space in a disheveled state. The sudden spatial displacement left him dazzled, and the sense of spatial detachment far exceeded what they had experienced in the Dangai.
However, the spiritual pressure exerted by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also disappeared abruptly with the teleportation, giving him some breathing room.
"Cough cough..." Ichigo lay on the ground coughing for a while, followed by a feeling of weakness.
"hateful!!"
He slammed his fist on the ground, gritting his teeth.
What a joke!
Their spiritual pressure alone was enough to immobilize them!
Ichigo woke up with a start, scrambling to his feet: "Wait a minute! Where's Auntie?!"
He looked around. They must have been separated by his aunt's teleportation ability, but his aunt seemed to still be in the Fourth Division barracks.
Ichigo jumped onto the wall and looked around. He quickly sensed a clear spiritual pressure fluctuation coming from afar.
Just as Ichigo jumped off the wall, intending to rush to the Fourth Division, he suddenly stopped after taking only two steps.
Regardless of which spiritual pressure it was, its intensity was superior to his.
Even if I go there, I'll only be a burden to my aunt...
Moreover, given Auntie's abilities, even if she couldn't win and wanted to escape, she probably wouldn't have any problems.
If he actually went there, he would only get in the way.
Kurosaki Ichigo adjusted his breathing and gradually calmed his inner anxiety.
"Wow, wow, I've really won the lottery!"
Just then, a flippant, battle-ready voice came from not far away.
"Who?" Ichigo gripped the hilt of his sword behind his back and turned around solemnly.
On the wall beside him, a bald man dressed in a Shinigami outfit was watching him with great interest.
Beside him stood another person on the wall, whose appearance was somewhat obscured by the sunlight.
"Don't you dare make a move, Yumichika, this kid is my prey." Madarame Ikkaku grinned, his eyes sizing up his precious prey.
Kurosaki Ichigo frowned slightly and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"What's that look in your eyes?!"
Madarame Ikkaku leaped down from the wall, drew his Zanpakuto mid-air, and slashed down at Ichigo.
The battle is about to break out.
Meanwhile, throughout Seireitei.
The group was teleported to different locations by Yuko's ability and was relatively safe for the time being.
……
Fourth Division.
"Generally speaking, the most dangerous place is the safest place. No one would have thought that I would come back after just leaving."
Yu Zi strolled leisurely, as if walking in her own home, and casually opened the door to the tea room.
“In general, the murderer will return to the crime scene a second time.” In the tea room, Unohana Retsu, who had been waiting for an unknown amount of time, looked at Ikuko with a deathly smile.
"...Sister Hua, aren't you going to the meeting?"
"I was just about to go." Retsu Unohana poured a cup of tea for Ikuko and pushed it to the table. "If there's no one else around."
"What are you talking about?" Yu Zi swaggered in and sat down. "Why are we sisters gossiping?"
She picked up her tea and drank it all in one gulp, then remarked, "Wow, it was really enjoyable to play tricks on Old Man Shan just now."
Unohana Retsu looked speechless, took a sip of tea, and calmly said, "You came back because of Aizen's corpse, didn't you?"
"Huh? Aizen is dead?"
Unohana Retsu's hand holding the cup trembled slightly, but she maintained her smile: "So, may I ask what brings you back?"
Sensing the killing intent emanating from Retsu Unohana, Ikuko quickly explained, "No! I mean, is he really dead?"
"They came to my door out of nowhere and said I killed Aizen. I almost thought I was sold out by you, Hana-nee... cough cough, it's nothing."
Unohana Retsu's face twitched, and she tried her best to maintain a smile.
So angry.
This idiot!
He trusted her so blindly, yet in the end, he was suspected of being the one who believed in her.
“That’s right, Aizen is dead.” Retsu Unohana took a sip of tea to calm herself down. “Based on what we’ve seen.”
Yuko asked, "What is the fact that we see?"
"Don't talk about that yet, let me ask you something," Retsu Unohana said calmly. "Did you go out last night? And did you meet with Aizen?"
Yu Zi clicked her tongue: "So that's when he tricked me!"
She said she had a bad feeling.
"So, you didn't kill Aizen?"
"I believe this to be true, it just depends on whether you believe it, Sister Hua."
"The facts are right in front of me, and I find it hard to believe you."
"You're so arrogant, Sister Hua." Yu Zi smiled knowingly. "This kind of persona doesn't suit you."
"If you don't believe me, you should just stab me right now..."
Before Yuko could finish speaking, her head was pierced through by the Zanpakuto.
Retsu Unohana slowly sheathed her Zanpakuto, a smile on her face: "That feels much better."
"I have to say, as a punching bag, Yuko is truly perfect."
"It was so sudden, it was really scary, you know?" Yu Zi retorted without changing her expression. The blood hole on her forehead healed quickly, the blood receded, and it was completely restored in less than a second after the blade was withdrawn.
"hehe."
Yu Zi straightened up, her expression becoming much more serious: "Last night, I went to the Palace of Repentance and did indeed run into Aizen."
"Then, halfway through, he cut off her hair."
"Hair?" Yu Zi tilted her head. "No, we only made slight contact. Strictly speaking, it was just a test. There wasn't even any sweat, let alone hair."
"And if he really got my hair, I should have sensed it as long as we weren't too far apart."
Retsu Unohana's expression changed slightly. "But Aizen died in the Penitentiary Palace just last night, his hand still clutching hair stained with your spiritual pressure."
"Could it be because you guys are under a spell?" Yu Zi blinked. "For example, what he's actually holding in his hand is a cockroach or something, and his vision is just being interfered with."
"..."
"Alright, that's enough for now. I have to rush to the First Division meeting."
Unohana Retsu put down her teacup and was about to get up.
Yuko quickly stopped her: "Wait! Aren't you curious if you were being disturbed?"
"so?"
"Where is Aizen's body? It should be temporarily stored in the Fourth Division, right? Let me see."
Unohana Retsu smiled and said, "Oh, what's in it for me?"
"I reject."
Yu Zi was silent for a moment: "Then I'll expose your affair of harboring criminals."
Retsu Unohana stood up and chuckled softly, "Do you think anyone would still believe such a thing now?"
"Hmph..." Yu Zi lowered her head and occasionally let out a soft hum.
Unohana Retsu stopped what she was doing, suspicious and paranoid.
“I knew you might say that.” Yu Zi waved her right hand and pulled a black brick out of thin air.
"That is?"
“It’s normal for an old country woman like you not to know about this kind of high technology.” Yu Zi tapped on her phone. “Although there is no internet, the spiritual particles were transformed very well when passing through the interdimensional gate. As for the recording and shooting functions, they are still fine.”
As Yuko retrieved the video, it clearly showed a video of Unohana Retsu accepting them.
"Oh~ there's such a thing~" Unohana Retsu's lips curled up slightly, her killing intent rising.
Yu Ziguang quickly took two steps back and threatened, "Are you going to self-destruct with me?"
"Aizen's body is in the back." Unohana Retsu rolled her eyes. "You can explode it yourself, I have to go to a meeting."
"Thanks~"
After Retsu Unohana left, Ikuko decisively used her senses and found the room where Aizen's body was kept.
She slipped past the members of the Fourth Division and into the room, where Aizen's body lay on a platform in the center of the room, covered with a white sheet.
Yuko stepped forward and ripped off the white cloth covering the corpse, revealing Aizen's body.
……
It's unbelievable.
Yu Zi's eyes narrowed slightly. If Sister Hua and the others were so affected by the illusion of a mirage that they couldn't see through it, that would be one thing, but now even she couldn't tell the difference.
Is this really Aizen?
Or rather, is Aizen really dead?
Even if it's a Gigai (artificial body), the internal structure of this thing is far too intricate, almost like it was carved from the same mold as Aizen himself.
Infighting?
Do not……
Although that snake-like brat has grown into a captain, the gap in strength between him and Aizen is still enormous, and it's impossible for him to defeat Aizen so easily.
Yuko was skeptical. She gripped the hilt of her Zanpakuto with one hand, and her Bankai ability continuously eliminated the effects of Kyoka Suigetsu, but she still couldn't detect anything unusual.
If you put it that way...
Yuko's heart stirred slightly, and she looked at Aizen's palm, gently prying open his fingers to reveal a strand of hair inside.
What kind of international joke are you kidding?
Does she think her hair is free?
How could she not feel anything after having so much taken away from her?
This was Yuko's first reaction.
It really was her spiritual pressure... no, not just the spiritual pressure, everything else was exactly the same...
Yuko picked up a strand of hair, placed it on her fingertip, and crushed it. The broken strand of hair quickly wriggled and reconnected.
Yuko fell into deep thought.
She always took great care of her body, and would try her best to dispose of any blood spilled during battle or anything else afterward.
The most recent major hemorrhage was probably during the awakening of Bankai, when she fought the butterfly in the basement of Urahara's shop.
Moreover, she was tricked by the butterfly during that battle, which left her bedridden for several days, preventing her from dealing with the blood...
and many more!
Ikuko's pupils are shaking!
Could that bastard Kisuke Urahara have actually collected her blood for something?
Yuko was only subconsciously analyzing the recent situation and didn't really think that Kisuke Urahara had a problem.
But after her analysis... she suddenly realized that Kisuke might really have collected her blood.
Well, it's unrelated to this matter.
Yuko has roughly figured it out.
It was a hundred years ago, I think.
It was left over from her battle with Kenpachi Zaraki.
Only that one time, only that one time it wasn't dealt with in time...
Because it happened in a remote area, and Yoruichi kept chattering away, they simply left.
She thought that there wouldn't be any problems there.
Under normal circumstances, without the supply from her body, her hair and blood would quickly lose their vitality due to the lack of energy replenishment, turning into lifeless matter.
After all, it's just a very small body fragment.
Yuko could clearly sense that this strand of hair contained her aura and spiritual power.
but……
There is no way to control it.
Yuko has almost absolute control over her body, even down to a single strand of hair; she can bend and stretch it as she pleases. There's nothing she can't do.
Even if Aizen managed to keep the hairs alive by feeding them, it should still be under her direct control.
It's not just that she can't control me, she can't even perceive me.
Normally, the fragments scattered in various places should be clearly perceptible, like a radar image. Even if we can't perceive the situation around the fragments, their location is perfectly clear.
But even at such close range, she could only sense the faint aura emanating from it.
This indicates that although the strand of hair carries her aura and spiritual pressure, and it is even indistinguishable from anything else, it actually has nothing to do with her.
Yuko's expression turned serious; this was bad.
If nothing unexpected happens, Aizen discovered her cells, then studied and modified them, and achieved some success.
But it's probably not complete yet, otherwise he wouldn't have invited me to join last night.
As for why the illusion of Kyoka Suigetsu couldn't be dispelled, she thought it was because Aizen had influenced her through his own cells.
That's why Aizen suddenly disappeared before my eyes last night. It wasn't actually teleportation, but rather the hypnosis from the illusion of a mirage still being present.
Yu Zi rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache. These evil scientists, they were all so troublesome.
A moment later, Yuko covered herself with the white cloth and disappeared from the room.
After taking Hinamori Momo away, Yuko directly hacked into the Seireitei's sewer system, which should be the safest place, as even patrolling soldiers wouldn't pass through here.
As Yuko pondered Aizen's situation, she walked down the stairs.
At the corner, a dark figure crashed into them.
"Die!"
With a soft thud, Yuko was slammed against the wall, and Hinamori Momo, tears welling in her eyes, stabbed her in the abdomen with her Zanpakuto, the blade sinking deep into the wall behind her.
Yuko winced in pain and closed her eyes briefly, somewhat surprised: "You woke up so quickly?"
She must have used a lot of effort.
Hinamori Momo seemed not to have heard her clearly, and said with a sob in her voice, "Captain Aizen, did you see that?"
"I have avenged you."
“…Um, I didn’t mean to disturb you.” Yu Zi hesitated for a moment before saying, “Under normal circumstances, being stabbed in the abdomen won’t kill you instantly.”
