Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Afterwards, Aozaki Mayuki and Ise Nanao went to the First Division together.

Along the way, the two chatted about everyday matters, without mentioning any business.

They continued until they reached the First Division, walked through the corridor, and arrived at the Captain-Commander's office.

Aozaki Mayuki felt a slight tightening in her heart, and thought to herself:

It seems Aizen has something important to discuss with me this time, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen such a formal place.

However, it shouldn't be anything serious, otherwise Ise Nanao wouldn't have come to call me.

Thinking of this, he relaxed, grinned, and swayed as he pushed open the office door.

Upon entering the office, Aizen was seen kneeling in front of the desk.

He held up the teacup with one hand and tapped the table lightly with the other.

His eyes were fixed on the envelope on the table, as if he were lost in thought.

"Could the letter have been sent from the Spirit King's Palace?"

Aozaki Mayuki was somewhat puzzled.

Currently, the entire Seireitei still communicates via letters, and the only place he could think of was the Soul King's Palace.

Last time, I used a letter to trick Kiryu Hikifune and Shutara Senjumaru into coming down.

Slowly walking towards the seat belonging to the room's owner, Aozaki Mayuki sat down steadily.

His gaze was fixed straight ahead, and his tone was casual and direct.

"Ah Jie, what's wrong? Why did you call me here?"

Ise Nanao stood quietly behind, casting a curious glance at her as well.

Aizen glanced at her, then turned his gaze to Aozaki Mayuki, and gently placed the letter in his hand on the table.

Aozaki Mayuki glanced at the unfolded letter and was surprised to find that the envelope was written in English, which made her even more curious.

However, he was a terrible English learner in his past life, and he has no interest in studying it in depth in this life. Even if he recognizes every letter, he still can't understand it.

Aizen's voice was calm and slow as he spoke:

"Actually, it's nothing particularly important. We just received some new information about the Invisible Empire."

"After careful consideration, I believe that, despite the assessment, the threat posed by the Invisible Empire to us has been greatly reduced."

“But Yhwach, as the son of the Soul King, is always a potential threat, so I think I should tell you this news as soon as possible.”

Aozaki Mayuki's expression instantly turned serious; his brows furrowed slightly, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"He's been hiding for so long, and we've finally got some news. Where is that kid now? I'm going to take care of him right away!"

Aizen smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in his smile.

"Don't worry, he can't escape. Let's talk about this letter first. You've been the chief for so long, you should know about the Western Garrison Bureau, right?"

"what?"

Aozaki Mayuki blinked, her face full of confusion.

He had almost completely forgotten the plot of Bleach, so how could he possibly remember this short story even though it was set in the same universe?

To him, these three words were at most unfamiliar place names that felt somewhat familiar.

Aizen, seeing his expression as if he had expected it, calmly said:

"It's normal that you don't know, after all, the Soul Society hasn't had any contact with them for over a thousand years."

He paused, then continued:

"If I hadn't been so familiar with the Tsunayo family's collection of books, I probably wouldn't have known that such a place existed in the world."

“A thousand years ago, Yhwach led the Quincy to invade, and we fled from their territory.”

Aozaki Mayuki did not respond to Aizen immediately, but instead fell into deep thought, trying to digest the information in his words.

He wasn't surprised that Yhwach came from the West.

Judging from their names, clothing, speech, behavior, and lifestyle, they are indeed very different from people from the East.

However, when it came to Westerners, he recalled the scene when he first met Ginjo Kugo.

The blond, blue-eyed priest seemed to refer to the mythical creature as a "dragon," which was even ridiculed by the Grim Reaper on duty in the mortal realm.

He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he vaguely remembers that Long seemed to have some connection with this so-called Western Bureau, and that he was probably some kind of virtual being.

The hazy memories, ironically, gave Aozaki Mayuki a sense of novelty.

Consequently, he also developed a slight curiosity about this so-called Western Bureau.

Thinking of this, he asked directly:

"Ah Jie, what kind of place is this Xishao Bureau? Could it be the lair of the Invisible Empire?"

Chapter 480 We Need Your Protection

Hearing that intimate tone, Aizen, as usual, glanced at him with some displeasure, but said nothing.

He withdrew his gaze and patiently explained:

"The so-called West Bureau, like our Seireitei, is part of the Soul Society and is one of the important forces that maintain world stability."

"Their full name is Soul Society West Bureau, located in the same spiritual space in England, Europe, also known as Inner London."

"In contrast, our Seireitei is the Eastern Frontier Bureau of Soul Society."

Aozaki Mayuki suddenly realized, but his face didn't show much shock.

On the contrary, past memories began to gradually become clearer in my mind.

Then, he turned his gaze to Aizen, his eyes revealing a complex emotion.

Aizen keenly noticed the change in Aozaki Mayuki's expression and, feeling puzzled, asked, "What's wrong?"

Aozaki Mayuki chuckled softly, a hint of teasing in her voice:

"Hey, A-Jie, isn't it a betrayal of our great ideals that the Western Bureau exists independently of the Seireitei?"

He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, a glint of excitement in his eyes:

"Let's go and conquer that place! Let's make it part of our ideal world."

Upon hearing this, Aizen's brows furrowed involuntarily.

In his memory, Aozaki Mayuki was not a person with such a strong desire to conquer.

This sudden change made him feel somewhat strange.

His intuition told him that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Based on his understanding of Aozaki Mayuki, could it be that this guy has some ulterior motives again, and his goal is definitely not as simple as expanding territory?

The moment he thought of this, Aizen's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes sharpened.

He adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, revealing a gentle smile:

"It's too late for you to think about these things now. Lylon was breached by Yhwach three years ago and became the headquarters of the Unknown Empire."

Upon hearing this, Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but pout, a look of dissatisfaction on her face, and complained:

"What? It's been three years since we were breached? Why are you only telling me now? You made me happy for nothing."

Aizen smiled slightly and explained:

"Because they only just sent a letter asking for help, and it is said that Yhwach captured Lydon in just one day."

As he spoke, he pointed to the letter on the table and continued:

“A thousand years ago, when Yhwach conquered the West, a great war broke out with the Western Frontier.”

"In that battle, all the powerful figures of the Western Frontier Bureau were wiped out, and it took a thousand years for them to barely recover some life."

"It was after that that Yhwach came here in order to obtain the Soul King's power, but was defeated by the former Captain-Commander."

"Three years ago, when they were invaded again by the invisible empire, although they were not completely wiped out, very few of them escaped."

"Those survivors must have paid a considerable price to get this letter here."

As he spoke, Aizen still smiled, seemingly unconcerned about the casualties at the Eastern Frontier Bureau.

Aozaki Mayuki's desire to conquer was not strong, but his own desire to conquer was exceptionally strong.

Since the determination is made to build an ideal world, then this so-called Western Frontier Bureau naturally cannot be excluded.

He hadn't paid any attention to it before, but now that it had come into his sights, he absolutely couldn't let it go easily.

Aozaki Mayuki understood his intention and nodded in agreement:

"To fall in just one day is indeed too fragile."

“London, which has suffered many disasters, needs our protection.”

Then, he declared righteously:

“Yhwach has acted perversely, and we, as the Gotei 13, whose mission is to protect the world, should send troops to punish the traitor.”

Aizen narrowed his eyes, quite pleased with Aozaki Mayuki's words that suited his tastes so well.

Aozaki Mayuki didn't want to object either.

Over the years, he frequently traveled between Seireitei and Soul Society, leading a monotonous and dull life. Nothing interesting happened for a long time, and he was bored every day.

Aizen was in charge of the daily team affairs and the mission to search for the Unknown Empire, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.

Simply put, everything was so peaceful and serene, but it made him feel restless and craving some excitement.

Xishaoju was a completely new place for him, full of novelty, and he wanted to explore it.

It would be good to treat it as a vacation!

Moreover, as long as Yhwach is alive, it will never be entirely reassuring.

However, he couldn't have come up empty-handed after putting in so much effort and manpower to eliminate Yhwach.

London is the best spoils of war!
