The atmosphere froze in an instant.

Almost everyone present showed a surprised expression at the same time.

"Captain Unohana, do you really understand what you are talking about?"

Kyoraku Shunsui rubbed his chin fiercely, and the light in his eyes became empty and subtle.

The captain of the Eighth Division, who always prefers to compromise, would never speak in such a tone that is close to questioning.

And now he can behave like this.

His judgment is still based on cautious considerations.

"Suspecting that colleagues in the Thirteenth Division are carrying out internal harm, how the reputation outside is another matter... The most important thing is the current problem."

After a pause, Ukitake Jushiro next to him took over the conversation.

"The suspect... There is no clear candidate at present, right?"

Unohana Retsu closed his eyes and nodded slowly.

"Yes."

The problem is indeed here.

If it is determined that this incident is an internal behavior of the Thirteenth Division, then before the matter is concluded, the remaining twelve people cannot get rid of the suspicion of murder.

What should we do then?

Before finding the murderer, should we fight among ourselves?

Aizen Sosuke, who was not far away, frowned and pushed his glasses nervously.

"That really... has become a very tricky thing."

Ichimaru Gin, who was standing by, turned his head halfway and said in an uncertain tone.

"I heard that there was a similar invasion before? At that time, a captain seemed to have been attacked by an unknown person?"

Ichimaru Gin's intention was very clear, which was the battle where Rokuguruma Kensei was almost crushed by Arima Shizuya.

But because the person involved was not a participant, he could only speak in a more roundabout tone.

Facing Ichimaru Gin's question, Kyoraku Shunsui answered almost instantly.

"It's unlikely."

A simple analysis will make sense.

"Captain Arima has no signs of struggle at all, which means he was killed without resistance."

He trusted the person, or attacked without resistance.

"In comparison, the guy who was able to fight Captain Mukuma at the beginning, since he was unwilling to show his face, he must not be that powerful..."

If he was an opponent, even if he was injured, Arima Shizuya should not be taken down so easily.

"Moreover, I don't think Captain Arima would know that guy and have any connection with such an unknown person."

In summary, the probability of the other party's suspicion is very small.

Ukitake Jushiro coughed lightly twice and expressed his opinion.

"But... it is possible that the guy may develop an offline organization?"

After a subtle silence, Kyoraku Shunsui closed his eyes helplessly.

"Well, so the headache is this aspect of the problem."

The enemy is in the dark, but I am in the light.

I don't know the details of the other party.

I don't know what the other party's lineup is.

It is even impossible to determine whether the people standing here are all accomplices who killed Arima Shizuya.

Ukitake Jushiro looked around and his tone was extremely solemn.

"...If that's the case, things will be much more troublesome."

Then.

Who is the murderer?

No one spoke in the field, but the tense atmosphere began to gather and rise!

It was as if something invisible was rolling rapidly, giving birth to such exaggeration...

In the silence, Soi-Fong frowned, and at this moment, she said "foolish man", and was about to turn around and leave.

But Byakuya Kuchiki stood in front of her.

"Captain Soi-Fong, where are you going?"

"Isn't it obvious! Go find the travel disaster, and then find a way to avenge the idiot lying there!"

If you don't agree, don't say anything.

Byakuya Kuchiki lowered his eyes and stroked the hilt of the knife with his right hand.

"Didn't you hear what Captain Unohana said just now?"

Since everyone present is a suspect.

Then we should start from here, check each person's motive for committing the crime one by one, and provide evidence.

"Captain Soi-Fong, where were you last night?"

Even if there was no need for extra explanation, the moment he asked this question, Byakuya Kuchiki's position was clear.

The captain of the second division, who caught this hostility and sensed the other party's intention.

At this moment, he clearly showed an extremely disgusted expression.

"Huh?!"

Unbelievable.

"You actually came to doubt me!"

"I just want to confirm something."

The feeling of not being trusted is really disgusting. Even in Soi-Fong's opinion, this level of suspicion has reached the point of finding fault.

But.

If it is to find the murderer, it is not a bad idea to give in to a certain extent.

I couldn't help but tut, turned my head away, and said in a rather impatient tone.

"I was deployed at the headquarters of the secret mobile force last night, and circled the Soul Society in the second half of the night. No one followed me at that time."

"Can anyone prove it?"

Hearing this, his patience was exhausted.

"Hey! Are you deliberately looking for trouble with me!"

"No, this inquiry is not directed at Captain Broken Bee, but for other people in the future. I will also analyze it in detail and try not to let go of any clues."

Kuchiki Byakuya was terrifyingly calm, his tone did not waver at all, and he was like a cold machine at this moment.

"Just thinking about the problem from the perspective of the captain of the second division, I can't understand the reason why the captain of the Broken Bee would leave the headquarters and carry out independent operations."

So.

"Can you explain a little bit?"

"Gu..."

If placed in a game of chess.

At this moment, it may be like a 'general' situation.

After all, now, in front of so many people... Broken Bee cannot reveal the slightest bit of his purpose.

‘I have relevant information about Si Fengyuan Yoruichi, and I want to find his traces. ’

Can you say this?

You must know that the other party is also a nominal betrayer in Soul Society, not to mention a person who is closely related to the Sifengyuan family.

If it was because of my own carelessness that the Sifengyuan family suffered an unreasonable disaster... then it would be a crime worthy of death!

Just thinking of this, Sui Feng's heart was already beginning to get entangled.

"I, do I still have to report to you whatever I do?"

"This attitude is really suspicious."

"What do you mean by that look in your eyes?! Do you suspect in public that my captain of the second division has killed his colleagues? Ha! If you really think so, come and try it!"

There was silence for a moment.

It's just a pause for breathing.

Kuchiki Byakuya's right hand was tightly grasped on the handle of the sword.

"That's exactly what I meant."

Seeing that both sides were at war with each other, the spiritual pressure that had been condensed but not emitting at this moment was already tending to overflow.

Kyōraku Shunsui, who had always acted like a peacemaker, took two steps forward with a wry smile and said in a comforting tone.

"Obviously, the matter has not yet been decided, but it seems too imprudent to point swords at your colleagues at this time, right?"

If people see it, they will be laughed at.

so.

"Be a little restrained, give me some time to thank you, and wait for Master Shan to take over to investigate, and then..."

The words have not yet fallen.

The cold light flashed silently for a moment.

"?!!!"

Everyone present could not help being surprised, and even Kyōraku Shunsui staggered back a few steps at this moment.

The response was quick.

It is precisely because of this that he will not get injured.

A soft popping sound was heard, and the clothes on Jingraku Shunshui's shoulders were directly cut at this moment, with a dazzling crack opening.

Byakuya Kuchiki drew his sword towards him, his tone extremely low.

"This is my final advice. Please...please cooperate with the following investigation."

——Why?

——You always have to wait until you lose it before you realize its importance.

——Grandpa was like this at that time. He thought he should make some progress, but now...

Kuchiki Byakuya realized that he was still the confused bastard who couldn't take responsibility.

Care about worldly perspectives and care about apparent gains and losses. These things are indeed things that a family leader must think about, but, but...

Human life is fleeting.

There are so many words of gratitude that I have yet to say, and I have received too much care and guidance for a long time.

But I haven't had time to do anything yet.

How foolish, how ignorant.

Now that the matter has come to this, what I can do is to use all my strength to make the truth come out as much as possible.

Tears fell silently down his cheeks. The Kuchiki family leader stood with his head held high, his tone trembling slightly.

"Everyone, please... cooperate."

The so-called splitting one's face is nothing more than that.

Even Kyōraku Shunsui has completely lost his usual carefree look.

He turned his gaze expressionlessly and stared at his chest.

——The other party has no intention of holding back. Just a little bit, and he will end up with his flesh and blood splattered five steps away.

Although it is not life-threatening.

"But it still bothers me a little if I'm looked down upon by others~"

Slightly stooped figure, with the same playful expression as always.

"Although I have no objection to this kind of behavior, after all, clay figures are quite angry."

"What's more, at a time like this? Well~ after all, so-called humans are still relatively emotional creatures."

Even if it’s me.

"I'm also a little sad because my drinking friend died."

An extremely gloomy aura floated at this moment, Ukitake Jushiro hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his friend's arm and shouted.

"Chun Shui! It's time to stop causing trouble to others. Are you going to do such an irrational thing?!"

"Ahaha, of course it depends on Captain Kuchiki's judgment~"

Uozhihua Lie looked around and had no intention of stopping it.

Aizen Sosuke in the distance seemed to want to say something, but he was also held in place by Ichimaru Gin who was nearby.

The non-existent balance was like a toppling scale, instantly tipped in an irreversible direction...

boom! ! !

Under the earth-shaking loud noise, there were pink 'petals' rising into the sky.

Continuous streams of spiritual pressure flickered in and out of it. Everyone who was still watching outside started to disperse with strange screams.

The gods started fighting.

But the 'mastermind' who witnessed all this was standing in a relatively safe corner, watching the figures constantly colliding above his head...

He smiled as if his plan had succeeded.

Expected?

No.

It should be said that it far exceeded expectations.

The sad news of Shizuya Arima's death was like explosives stuffed under the foundation of a building.

The chain reaction caused was not only beyond imagination, but also gave people hiding in the shadows more associations and plans.

on the other hand.

Kurosaki Ichigo, who had no idea what was going on, was continuing towards his destination.

He is facing his first 'life and death crisis' since entering Soul Society.

"What's wrong? Don't you plan to attack on your own?"

The sound was rough and cold, like a dull hatchet, with a twisted feeling like cutting flesh, almost at the moment of hearing it...

It's enough to stop one's breathing.

Afro, scar face. The skinny and broad body...the posture of holding the knife is not particular, but it can give people a feeling of 'this guy is very strong'.

No.

Not the feeling.

But a real entity.

Visible to the naked eye, the air began to distort with the other person's smile.

Dong dong dong dong dong…

It's not the sound of my own heartbeat, but the ground is cracking inch by inch! Substantial objects are shattered and broken by the invisible position.

Until the spirit son returned to the simple sense, floating around like fireflies.

Eye……

Everything you look at seems to be rendered in pure black and white. Low and gloomy lines spread all over his field of vision, making Ichigo Kurosaki's breathing quicken.

Not an opponent - just the moment he saw the opponent with his own eyes, he already knew the answer in his heart.

But... this is definitely not the time to retreat.

Take courage.

Just like defeating Madarame Ikkaku and Abarai Renji.

I just repeat what I have done along the way, there is no difficulty at all.

Zangetsu also said it!

I must not take a step back... not even a single step, I must move forward!

"Why, is this all you have?"

It pierced the weird-looking Zanpakutō and went straight into his heart and lungs.

After seeing that the opponent was no longer able to resist, Zaraki Kenpachi showed a lack of interest.

It can defeat the vice-captain level, but it is still far from reaching a higher level of power... Even so.

But the fighting spirit is indeed commendable.

Turn around and leave.

He has no interest in killing the weak, and he is not willing to bully the weak in a simple sense.

There's someone else who will pick up the pieces anyway, right? This is enough...

"etc……"

Even the voice became weak.

It even makes people unable to arouse the slightest interest.

But in Kurosaki Ichigo's sight, time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The clear black and white background looks like a wet canvas...

I saw, on the left and right sides of Zaraki Kenpachi...

Two familiar figures appeared in succession at this moment.

PS: I’m not very satisfied with the subsequent plot, and it affects other content, so I won’t post it at all. I feel like there is still room for further modifications...well, the plot related to Li Zuitian.

Anyway, it’s quite different from the original work. Please wait a little longer. I’ll update it tomorrow.
