Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Suddenly, the cell door was opened by the guard, Death, and a young man wearing a haori led a Death into the cell.

Hibiki Kyouga, sitting in the corner, covered his face with his hands, seemingly unaware of the two people's presence.

The young man, with a deep voice, smiled and said, "I know about your situation and the truth of the matter. Do you need help?"

Kuchiki Hibiki slowly stood up, turning her gaze to the young man. She felt he looked somewhat familiar, and the white haori he wore confirmed his identity.

"How could you know? Could it be... that you are from the Tsunayo family?"

Kuchiki Hibiki was filled with immense anger, and a white-clad figure slowly materialized beside him.

The young man paused for a moment in surprise, then laughed and said, "It really is a special Zanpakuto, but we are not from the Tsunayo family."

"Moreover... to be more precise, we are enemies of the Tsunayo family, just like you!"

"The enemy? How can you prove it?" Kuchiki Kyoga asked, turning to look at Muramasa who had appeared beside him, and waved his hand, "Never mind, I'll see for myself."

After a moment, Kuchiki Hibiki exclaimed in astonishment, "Muramasa... how could this be..."

"Are you trying to use that knife to read my memories? Unfortunately, it's useless."

The young man said confidently.

"Now that I've come to you, how could I not first understand your capabilities? Are you willing to sit down and have a proper talk now?"

"What do you want to say?" Kuchiki Hibiki waved his hand and Muramasa disappeared, looking dejected.

Wearing a captain's uniform, Aozaki Mayuki strolled leisurely down the street with her arms behind her head and a languid expression.

Kuchiki Sojun walked ahead of him, his brows furrowed with worry.

"Cang Chun, isn't Xiang He about to be released? Why are you so worried?" Aozaki Mayuki asked casually.

Kuchiki Soujun said irritably, "What do you mean 'released'? Even after leaving the Second Division, he's still supposed to be under house arrest!"

Aozaki Mayuki glanced at him.

"Why are the Kuchiki family so serious? It's just house arrest; when he can be released is entirely up to the Kuchiki family."

Kuchiki Sojun rolled his eyes.

Our family has a pure family tradition. We thought everyone was like you.

Aozaki Mayuki smiled and said dismissively, "Your Kuchiki family just loves to pretend to be righteous. If I didn't know you and your sister-in-law were so close that you see each other every day..."

Kuchiki Cangchun's body trembled, and he hurriedly covered his mouth. He looked around and, finding that no passersby had noticed, breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"You little rascal, don't tell everyone everything!"

…………

Second Division prison.

"You can get the Central Bureau of 46 to overturn my conviction and find me innocent..."

Kuchiki Hibiki carefully considered the young man's words, his expression somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, looking at the figure beside the young man who had suddenly become exactly like himself, he felt no joy whatsoever.

Instead, he fell into a deep unease.

Because he realized that even he couldn't distinguish the real person from the fake one, did this mean that the fake person could easily find someone to replace him?

He didn't understand what he should do next.

Following this man is clearly a path of no return, but if she doesn't accept his "help," she will lose her power forever and be imprisoned in her family.

The young man smiled and said softly in his consistently gentle and approachable tone, "I can first express my sincerity."

Upon hearing this, Kuchiki Hibiki frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What sincerity?"

The young man lowered his voice slightly, but his tone was firm and strong:

"The Tsunayo family framed you; don't you want them to pay the price?"

"Pay the price..." Kuchiki Hibiki murmured these words, seemingly lost in thought.

His gaze gradually sharpened as he recalled the injustices and grievances he had suffered.

It's all because of these damned guys that I've ended up like this!

…………

When Aozaki Mayuki arrived at the gate of the Second Division prison, the Second Division members who were coming and going all cast curious and admiring glances at him.

Kuchiki Aojun teased, "Matsuki, you're quite popular in the Second Division."

“Of course.” Aozaki Mayuki smiled and winked at the little girls by the roadside, making them blush.

Kuchiki Sojun shook his head helplessly.

Young girls these days are too easily deceived by appearances. What's even more frightening is that Aozaki Mayuki possesses a captivating appearance, yet she is not a virtuous person.

Xianghe, my brother-in-law, is also very handsome and much better at handling relationships than I am. Unfortunately, although he treats my sister very well, he has a terrible relationship with my father.

Thinking about the complicated situation between Kuchiki Echo River and Kuchiki Silver Ridge, Kuchiki Sojun, feeling quite troubled, didn't know what to do.

"I wonder how Xianghe is doing now?"

Aozaki Mayuki waved his hand.

"Don't worry, for my sake, the Second Division will take good care of him. The food in the Second Division is excellent; he's probably already quite plump by now."

Kuchiki Sojun breathed a sigh of relief and then walked into the Second Division's cell.

After obtaining permission from the newly appointed third seat of the Second Division, Aozaki Mayuki and Kuchiki Sojun went directly to the cell where Kuchiki Hibiki was being held.

Seeing Kuchiki Hiyori sitting with her head down in the corner of the cell, Kuchiki Sojun quickly said, "Hyoori, Maki and I have come to see you. I came here to explain to you about Father..."

Kuchiki Hibiki raised his head expressionlessly, glanced at Kuchiki Sojun with indifferent eyes, and then shifted his gaze to Aozaki Mazuki standing next to Sojun.

Unexpectedly, Kuchiki Kyouga's gaze did not linger on Aozaki Mayuki for long, but quickly returned to its usual cold and unapproachable demeanor, as if isolated from the world.

Kuchiki Sōjun frowned, for he knew all too well that Kuchiki Kyouga was by no means a cold-hearted person.

On the contrary, Xianghe is extremely sensitive and has a rich and varied emotional life, so his lack of reaction is very unusual.

In the past, Kuchiki Kyoga would often spar with Aozaki Mayuki and regarded him as a close friend, always being exceptionally enthusiastic whenever they met.

These things were perfectly clear to Kuki Tsangchun, who cared deeply for his family.

Something's not right!

Aozaki Mayuki and Kuchiki Sojun exchanged a perfectly synchronized glance, instantly understanding the worry in each other's eyes.

Chapter 152 Enemy Attack

Almost in the blink of an eye, Aozaki Mayuki and Kuchiki Sojun simultaneously sensed that something was wrong.

Given Kuchiki Hibiki's personality, if he suffered such a heavy blow, he might become hysterical or fall into extreme pain from which he could not extricate himself.

However, at this moment, Kuchiki Hibiki was unusually calm, even extremely indifferent, which was really illogical!

Kuchiki Sojun thought that Kuchiki Hibiki was probably disheartened and utterly hopeless this time.

Thinking of this, a deep sense of self-reproach and guilt welled up in his heart.

In fact, he should have stepped forward long ago and tried to mediate the tense relationship between his father and Kuchiki Hibiki.

As a former teacher at the Shinigami Academy, Kuchiki Sōjun had long ago discerned the problems between the two of them.

Unfortunately, her father, Kuchiki Ginryo, was a stubborn old man, and her subtle hints had no effect on them.

Now that things have come to this, Kuchiki Sojun is filled with regret, feeling that he should have brought things up sooner!

On the other hand, Aozaki Mayuki looked thoughtful, muttering to himself:

"This feeling is somewhat familiar... Could you take a look at Mirror Flower Water Moon for me?"

He swiftly reached out and grasped the hilt of the Myriad Manifestations Blade, and silently completed the chanting of the Liberation Word.

"Leave it to me!"

A beautiful woman dressed in a gorgeous kimono floated silently in mid-air.

Her kimono was embroidered with exquisite and elegant patterns, giving her a noble and elegant feel. Wearing a monocle added a touch of mystery. Her silky long hair was neatly tied up with a delicate flower-like headdress, and she exuded a majestic aura like a cold queen.

However, faced with this situation, Kuchiki Kyouga and Kuchiki Sojun did not react at all, as if they had not seen anything.

"Such a beautiful sight is only for me to see!" Aozaki Mayuki sighed inwardly.

"Would you be willing to share this beautiful scenery with others?" The aloof beauty reached out and hooked her finger under his chin, teasing him.

"I don't want to!" Aozaki Mayuki answered without hesitation in her heart.

The aloof beauty let out a light laugh: "What a selfish man, but this kind of selfishness is a plus!"

Aozaki Mayuki stared as Kuchiki Kyouga transformed into someone she had never seen before, pondering to herself:

"It really was an illusion created by a mirage!"

He was very familiar with this ability.

Looking at Kuchiki Hibiki's expression, Kuchiki Sojun said softly, "Actually, Father..."

He was interrupted by Kuchiki Hibiki raising his hand before he could finish speaking.

Kuchiki Hibiki said, "My father-in-law has already spoken to me, and I know everything. You should go back first; I want to think about this alone."

Kuchiki Aojun turned to look at Aozaki Maki, seemingly seeking his opinion.

After thinking for a moment, Aozaki Mayuki nodded and said:

"Alright, let's leave here first. Perhaps letting him calm down and think things through will make it easier for him to understand everything."

Kuchiki Sojun nodded silently and said nothing more.

The two turned and left, leaving Kuchiki Hibiki alone, lost in thought.

After saying goodbye to Kuchiki Aojun, Aozaki Mayuki did not continue wandering the streets, but immediately returned home.

The fact that Aizen Sousuke saw through the illusion of a mirage in the prison cell shows that he has already colluded with Kuchiki Kyouga.

He could roughly understand what Aizen wanted to do. Kuchiki Kyoga's Zanpakuto was very useful; it could easily disrupt the Seireitei and also restrain Yamamoto.
