Chapter 215 214: Apologize to You

Tsk…

Hirako Mako's expression twisted momentarily.

His upbringing as a captain made him understand that this kind of behavior was definitely not good.

But the annoyance and sadness in his mood clung to his heart like maggots on his tarsus.

Make it painful.

"So! We also know that this is the case... So what we want to know now is what we should do to reverse this situation!"

Emotions were somewhat out of control.

But the moment after the angry roar came out, Hirako Mako felt a little regretful.

After all, it's not a good habit to vent your anger - even Aikawa Luowu, who had been watching until now, appeared behind Hirako at this moment.

"Enough is enough. It would be too weird to force others to do things they can't do."

Should have apologized.

But Urahara Kisuke waved his hand as if he didn't care at all.

"Ahaha~ It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. To be honest, I feel very troubled because of this matter."

After all, it’s the things you want to do but can’t do.

There weren't many to begin with.

With his eyes lowered, he briefly sorted out the information and intelligence on hand.

Urahara Kisuke followed his own train of thought and gave a general guess.

"Also, regarding this matter. I think there are other possibilities."

"Tell me and listen!"

"Everyone, do you remember Captain Shiba?"

The sudden change of topic caught people somewhat off guard.

But except for the guy who was still rolling around with his legs in his arms, everyone present now was considered calm and sensitive.

Fengqiaolou Juro took advantage of the situation and said.

"Of course I remember, he was the captain of the 10th division at the time... I wanted to talk to him more that day to understand the current situation within the Seireitei."

Lisa Yatomaru, who was beside her, adjusted her glasses and raised her head to add.

"But the guy just treated the injury casually and said he was leaving."

Yusho Tian Hao Xuan laughed happily.

"It's just that the destination doesn't look like returning to the team."

"Is it related to that Quincy girl?"

"The God of Death and the Quincy? No...it's a little unimaginable..."

"I always feel like something is not quite right."

Opinions vary, but the topic is fairly condensed.

Urahara Kisuke pointed out the key points at this moment.

"I think the problem lies with that Quincy woman."

Liu Che Quanxi jumped down from the stone next to him and landed on the ground, causing smoke and dust to billow.

"What's the meaning?"

"You guys should still have an impression of the virtual flash fired that day, right?"

——Everyone gets excited when I mention this.

After all, he did something so unexpectedly that day, almost killing someone, and the result was that everyone was nervous.

"Of course I remember, but weren't you rescued in the end?"

"Thank you for the compliment, but in fact the problem has not been solved."

Urahara Kisuke turned half of his face slightly, and his eyes became a little subtle.

"Because soon, the Quincy woman showed a tendency to be infected by the void poison. A circular hole was opened on her chest..."

What follows is quite different from the original work.

Urahara Kisuke only stood from the perspective of a bystander and gave a unilateral explanation of the help he gave.

"I think that through the power of death given by Captain Shiba, this part of the virtual poison can be neutralized... Although the result is still unknown, the probability should not be too small."

Having said that.

At this moment, some people have already started to go off topic.

Jiunabai held his face in his hands, his eyes turned into stars.

"Hey?! Really? Is the God of Death really going to get together with the Quincy?"

Hiyori showed a rather lewd smile.

"That guy Isshin Shiba must be quite old, right?"

Yatomaru Lisa coughed calmly, and her glasses began to reflect.

"Forbidden relationship..."

"You guys, please stop this!"

It was Hirako Mako who took the lead in lecturing before the atmosphere returned to a serious direction.

"So what you're saying is that the disappearance of Arima Shizuya's soul has something to do with the virtual poison in that guy?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

After all, up to now, this is the only thing that can be closely related to the current situation.

Hearing this, Hiyori touched his fists and jumped up from the ground.

"good!"

"What's good?"

"I'll go outside and catch that Quincy!"

——Since there is a problem, just solve it.

Adhering to such simple and straightforward logical thinking, Hiyori showed extraordinary mobility at this moment.

"Just hold that Quincy down, and then use our methods to pull out the soul belonging to Arima Shizuya! Right?!"

Although it may be a very delicate job, there are so many captain-level figures present.

It shouldn't be difficult to do this.

While talking, this guy didn't forget to say hello behind him.

"Anyone who wants to go with us, come over!"

I have to say.

At some point...simple and one-sided thinking is indeed more efficient than careful consideration.

The scale weighing the pros and cons swings in everyone's mind.

The results were also obtained very quickly.

Compared to the Quincy whom he didn't know, Shizuya Arima had gotten along with him before and left a good impression on everyone.

Obviously the one that deserves more attention.

If this could bring back Arima Shizuya's soul... just for the price, it would not be unacceptable at all.

After many years of exile, coupled with the fact that he once worked in the "Exposure Team" and other reasons.

Everyone in the Masked Legion is by no means a compassionate person.

Carrying the responsibility of one or two lives is not a pressure at all for these people.

At this moment, except for Mako Hirako, everyone present was slightly moved.

Just haven't started taking action yet.

Urahara Kisuke had already said in a deep voice.

"Please wait... I don't think this method is feasible."

"ha?!"

Hiyori jumped back in front of him, and reflexively wanted to kick him.

But in the end, he stayed put.

"What, is there any other way besides this?!"

"No, I just want everyone to calm down first."

Impatience clouds judgment.

It will even affect your originally calm thinking.

"First of all, the soul compositions of Quincy and Hollow are different from our Shinigami."

"This means that there is no guarantee whether the current Arima-kun's soul can continue to maintain its shape in the opponent's body."

"Assuming it has been assimilated, it is like food that has been digested after eating."

With the means currently at our disposal, it is absolutely impossible to restore these 'residues' to their original state.

"Secondly, the Quincy also has corresponding forces to rely on."

"If we choose to act rashly, it is likely to turn into a large-scale conflict."

“I think the responsibilities and risks in this regard are things that we don’t have to bear.”

As for the last one.

Urahara Kisuke's tone also became a little helpless.

"The things I said before are all just wishful thinking on my part."

"After all, there is no actual data for reference at the moment."

"It's not a good idea to act rashly."

After breaking down the pros and cons and conducting an in-depth analysis.

Everyone in the Masked Legion also calmed down.

Only Hiyori angrily kicked the pile of stones on the side, letting them explode into fragments scattered all over the sky.

"This won't work, and that won't work either! Then what should we do?"

The most uncomfortable part is not being able to use your strength.

Watching the other party's anger, Urahara Kisuke lowered his eyes for a while, as if he was thinking for a moment.

Then he opened his mouth and spoke softly.

"Based on the current situation, I think... the most appropriate solution is to quietly observe for a while."

Just like conservative treatment for cancer patients.

Although it is indeed a solution, it is difficult to cheer people up.

Hirako Mako was well aware of the helplessness involved, and at this moment she could only close her eyes helplessly and pat her forehead heavily with her right hand.

"Approximately... how long will it take to observe?"

"Not sure."

What a straightforward answer.

But other than that, there seems to be no other way.

The scene fell into a brief and solemn state of silence, and at this moment.

At the entrance above the head, a figure flashed out and fell straight down.

"Kisuke, we have the information."

One night in Sifengyuan.

After changing into light clothes, the headmaster of Sifengyuan, who was dusty with travels, handed over the note he carried with him.

"Thank you, Miss Yoruichi."

Obtaining first-hand information at this time is undoubtedly of great help.

After a brief browse.

Urahara Kisuke's pupils also shrank for a while at this moment.

Mako Hirako, who was beside him, didn't want to pry into the other party's communication. He just noticed the change in Boss Urahara's expression and couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong?"

"There is something new to discover."

The expression on his face became subtle. Urahara Kisuke faced everyone's gaze and spoke slowly at this moment.

"According to accurate intelligence information, the current captain of the fifth division, Arima Shizuya, is still in office."

"It's just that his soul was severely damaged."

"After multiple confirmations, it is now confirmed that Arima Shizu has also suspended official duties and begun to enter a state of self-cultivation and rest."

As soon as these words came out.

There was an uproar.

"I knew it!"

"The soul has been split into two halves, it's so pitiful..."

"He must have been taken advantage of by that guy Aizen. He obviously trusted that guy so much, but he ended up like this in the end."

The crowd was furious.

And in this state, even Urahara Kisuke felt that things were not that simple.

In the end, I chose silence.

After all, judging from the content currently obtained, Aizen is indeed the last possible mastermind.

So even though he was doubting something else deep down in his heart, Urahara Kisuke still couldn't choose what to say.

At the end, I just gave some instructions to the side.

'Miss Yoruichi, in the days after the trouble, pay more attention to the movements of that Quincy woman. ’

Yoruichi answered readily, and Hirako Mako, who frowned, also echoed at this moment.

"I'm sorry, there is relevant information...can you also give me a copy then?"

Urahara Kisuke readily agreed.

"Of course it's no problem."

…

"So, that's all."

After swallowing the whole radish in his mouth, Shizuya Arima sighed.

"It may be due to proficiency issues, or some unclear reasons..."

"While part of my power was taken away, my soul was also forcibly cut open."

"Even if you want to get it back now, I'm afraid it's too late."

Tosen was speechless and Ichimaru Gin was silent.

The two of them had no idea what to do about this situation, and they could only provide spiritual help at this moment.

The prison master was even more apologetic.

"I'm sorry... Shizuya-kun."

Out of curiosity about experiments and a desire to explore the unknown.

He failed to solve the problem immediately, but allowed things to develop based on his confidence that he could "control the whole situation" at any time.

Until finally out of control.

"I must apologize to you."

Arima Shizuya waved his hands repeatedly and said disapprovingly.

"No, no, it's just my own carelessness and it has nothing to do with Aizen-sensei."

“Having the ability but not doing it is an essential incompetence.”

Should I say that he is worthy of being the king of gossip?

Even when facing himself, the prison master can still achieve "full firepower".

"The reason for the failure of this operation is ultimately due to my dereliction of duty...I apologize to you once again, Jingya-kun."

"As for your soul loss problem, I will find a way to solve it in the near future."

"Before that, please take a good rest."

Although I still want to say something more.

But looking at the prison master's expression, Arima Shizuya swallowed all his words in the end.

Finally he said with a wry smile.

"Then...please ask Aizen-sensei."

Not wanting Arima Shizuya to waste his energy, the three of them quickly left the fifth division.

It’s also because there are no specific ‘team building’ activities in the future, and because now everyone has their own staff.

The three of them soon parted ways.

Aizen Sosuke walked alone on the way back to the team.

The gentle smile hanging on his face also gradually melted at this moment, until it turned into a cold appearance without any sadness or joy.

Playing tricks when the occasion arises is Aizen's specialty.

When necessary, perform the required actions to achieve your goals.

This kind of similar behavior can be said to be an instinct engraved in the bones, and there is no need to deliberately stimulate it.

——Just say some casual words, and you can get heartfelt and understanding words.

Why not?

but……

Aizen didn't think so at this moment.

He lowered his head and stared at his hands in the moonlight, his expression becoming a little lonely.

people.

It’s something that is born different…

Some people are destined to be used and are consumables like resources.

The Masked Legion so far, the Gotei 13, is only different in name for Aizen.

There is essentially no difference.

But Arima Shizu is different too.

He is someone who can understand his actions and original intentions, and is on his side at all times.

He shouldn't be taken advantage of.

Something that can make you proud, something that can make you happy...

Even though he talks about it all the time, his godson never gets bored.

They are among the few companions who can understand Aizen's thoughts in this place of heavy spirits that is extremely cold at high altitudes.

The light in Aizen's eyes was complicated and confused.

Am I...did I push the other party too much?

If there was no pressure from him, perhaps the current danger would not have occurred.

There is no answer.

But Aizen is not a troubled person.

Indecision is the greatest sin compared to obsessing over something.

‘It seems that I have been slacking off a bit recently. ’

After sighing, Aizen Sosuke's expression was dazed and filled with emotion.

He paid too much attention to Jingya-kun's progress, but neglected his own growth.

This is not good.

If you can't guide the other party to make progress, then how can you guide them? Only your own strength can point others to the right path.

Walking side by side, a companion who can overcome thorns and obstacles is indeed a joy to behold.

But this is no reason to stop moving forward.

If there is a next time.

‘At least… I should have the confidence to solve the problem. ’

Sorry, Shizuya-kun.

I apologize for my immaturity and naivety.

Reflect, Aizen.

Correct your attitude and goals. Pride and complacency are not your background.

Because of this.

In terms of research, we need to continue to speed up the process.

Facing the sparse moonlight.

Aizen Sosuke held his head high and strode forward.
