Bleach: I'm picking up attributes in Seireitei

Chapter 96 This kid is quite mysterious

When Aizen Sousuke walked out of the Fourth Division barracks, it was already late at night.

A cool breeze blew by, and a few leaves twirled and fell onto his shoulder.

Aizen led several team members toward the barracks, but his pace was slower than usual.

Aizen lowered his eyes, and memories slowly surfaced.

Wang Xun, Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy, fifth reincarnation.

Because it was somewhat concealed at the time, it left a slight impression on Aizen.

Until he discovered that this person was nothing special.

After that, Aizen almost forgot about this person's existence.

After all, there were too many things that required his attention.

The development of Hōgyoku has entered a critical stage.

More samples are needed for the virtualization experiment.

Moreover, Hirako Shinji has been scrutinizing his behavior with extra care lately.

A student with decent talent is not worth wasting your energy on.

But...

The boy appeared abruptly in his eyes in a different form.

Aizen recalled the calm gaze he had received in the emergency room.

Today, Captain Unohana has asked that boy to participate in this rescue work, and another person assisting her is her vice-captain.

How long would it take for the Fourth Division to reach this level after their return to training?

Aizen slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again.

From the Second Division to the Fourth Division.

Aizen recalled the letter from Tosen Yasushi after his failed attempt to capture Amemiya Shin not long ago.

Obstructed by members of the Second Division, the capture of Amamiya Shin failed, and he was placed under house arrest for acting without authorization.

He had read the letter, but only glanced at it.

Amamiya Shin was just a pawn; regardless of whether the process went smoothly or not, the outcome was already predetermined.

Tosen's rash move was unexpected, but it did not affect the overall situation, since he had a backup plan.

For some reason, Aizen suddenly felt an inexplicable urge to confirm certain things.

After giving instructions to a few team members, he turned around and headed towards the Ninth Division.

"Indigo dyeing".

A familiar voice came from behind, carrying a hint of casual laziness.

Aizen paused in his steps.

"team leader."

Hirako Shinji walked out from the corner of the corridor, his short golden hair standing out in the twilight.

He carried the captain's haori in his hand and casually draped it over his shoulder.

"How's the situation with the four seats?"

"They are out of danger."

Aizen replied.

"Captain Unohana personally took action, and the damage to her liver and kidneys has been treated. She will recover after a period of rest."

"That's good. If I had arrived any later, we would have had to change to a fourth seat."

Hirako nodded, his solemn expression relaxing somewhat.

Aizen nodded in agreement.

"Yes, thankfully... the captain arrived in time."

Hirako glanced at the direction Aizen was facing.

Where are you going?

Aizen was silent for a moment.

"I want to go and see the Ninth Division."

"Squad Nine?" Hirako raised an eyebrow. "What are you looking at?"

"That Adjuchas."

Aizen's tone was calm, with just the right amount of curiosity.

"Achus-level Hollows are usually very difficult to capture alive. This time, the captain managed to capture it alive, and I'm curious to see what the Ninth Division can find out."

Hirako looked at him, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"You're still interested in this kind of thing?"

Aizen smiled.

"I've always been interested, but I haven't had the right opportunity usually."

Hirako did not respond immediately.

The evening breeze passed between the two, stirring up a few fallen leaves on the ground.

"Alright, I'll go to the Ninth Division with you."

He glanced at Aizen.

"I'm also curious, what can that thing get us out of us?"

Hirako turned around, and the two walked one after the other. Before long, the Ninth Division barracks came into view.

As the prison squad responsible for interrogation and detention, its architectural style is more imposing and solemn than that of other squads.

When Hirako Shinji and Aizen arrived, the members of the Ninth Division respectfully greeted them.

"Captain Hirako, Vice-Captain Aizen."

"Where's the Adjuchas?"

"In the underground prison, it is being guarded by the Sixth Team Captain. The Deputy Ghost Master has just arrived and is currently reinforcing the seal."

"Lead the way, I'll go take a look."

"yes!"

The group walked through the long corridor and down the stone steps.

The deeper you go, the colder the air becomes.

The walls on both sides gleamed with a faint blue light under the illumination of the spirit stones.

Occasionally, a low growl would come from the depths, only to disappear again quickly.

The innermost interrogation room had a door made of heavy cast iron, with a sealing barrier engraved on its surface.

After several team members injected spiritual pressure into the barrier node, the door slowly slid open to both sides.

Inside, a gigantic Void was bound to a central sealing platform by dozens of chains.

Several cracks were visible on the bone of its cheek, and several penetrating wounds on its body were slowly oozing spiritual energy, indicating that it had experienced an extremely fierce battle before being captured.

Those cloudy eyes darted around, staring at the people around them, and a low, indistinct roar came from his throat.

Kensei Rokusha was overseeing things on one side, while Vice Kido Master Hachigen Ushōda was carrying out the final reinforcement of the barrier.

When Kensei Rokusha saw the newcomer, he nodded slightly in greeting.

"Why are you back again?"

"Aizen was curious about this Adjuchas, so he came back to see if he had found out anything."

Kensei Rokusha shook his head, his eyes downcast.

"Although Adjuchas is intelligent, he is untamed by wildness. We managed to communicate with him for a few moments, but it was all incoherent babbling and of no use."

He paused.

"Although we will continue to try to interrogate him, it is unlikely to be successful. After a while, we will prepare to transfer him to the Central Underground Prison."

Hirako hummed in agreement and didn't ask any further questions.

He wasn't surprised.

Even when a Void evolves to the Adjuchas level and gains consciousness, it is still difficult to communicate with it.

It's unrealistic to expect to extract valuable information from them.

Hirako turned his head to look at Aizen, who was looking up at him.

Aizen stood in front of the sealing platform, quietly watching the Adjuchas.

"Its spiritual pressure characteristics seem somewhat peculiar."

Vice-Chief Kido, Yushōda Hachigen, turned and glanced at Aizen.

"Indeed, this Hollow's spiritual pressure contains a small amount of remnants of Shinigami spiritual particles, possibly because it recently absorbed Shinigami."

Aizen nodded.

"I see."

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and gave a slight bow to Kensei Rokusha.

"Thank you, Sixth Vehicle Captain. Sorry to bother you."

Kensei Rokkaku nodded.

"It's alright. If you're interested in this, I'll let you know if there's any news later."

Aizen thanked him and followed Hirako Shinji as they turned and walked out.

Shinji Hirako yawned and glanced at Aizen beside him.

"I knew it, we wouldn't get anything out of them."

"The captain is right," Aizen said gently. "I was presumptuous."

The two walked up the stone steps they had come from.

At the end of the corridor, a figure appeared.

The man was wearing the Shinigami uniform of the Ninth Division, had dark skin, and his eyes were closed.

Kaname Tōsen, the fifth seat of the Ninth Division.

Hearing footsteps and sensing spiritual pressure, he bowed slightly in that direction.

"Captain Hirako, Vice-Captain Aizen."

Hirako Shinji nodded casually and walked past him.

Aizen paused for a moment.

The two then passed each other.

Hirako Shinji seemed to sense something and turned around to look.

All that could be seen was Aizen's calm expression and the departing figure of the team member.

"Aizen, do you know him?"

Aizen paused slightly and turned to look.

"We've only met once, so we're not very familiar with each other. Although the fifth seat of the Ninth Division is blind, I've heard he's exceptionally capable."

"yes."

At the other end of the corridor, Tosen walked slowly, the sound of the two people talking gradually fading away behind him.

And in his hand, a small note had appeared out of nowhere.

He lowered his head, gently tracing the words ground out by spiritual pressure on the letter.

I understand.
