Chapter 85 Wandenreich's First Stage, Round After Round of Conspiracy

"Who!"

Rukia drew out her Zanpakutō and turned to face the back.

"Calm down, I'm not your enemy."

A man dressed in white, with long blond hair and blue eyes came towards her.

"Nice to meet you, Rukia Kuchiki."

"My name is Yugaran Haschwald, and I'm a Quincy."

"Quincy?"

Rukia Kuchiki frowned.

As an honors student, she certainly learned about Quincy.

But according to the textbook, haven't Quincy been cleaned up by the God of Death?

Where did this guy in front of her come from?

Staring at Haschwald for a moment, Rukia didn't let down her guard and continued to ask.

"Why did the Quincy appear in the Central 46th Room? Where did the people in the Central 46th Room go? Did you cause me to appear here?"

"I appeared here because I was persecuted by Aizen and others."

"You can see the people in the Central 46th Room by just pushing open the door behind you."

"Your presence here has nothing to do with me. If nothing unexpected happens, you were manipulated by Aizen just like me."

Haschwalth patiently answered Rukia's questions one by one.

However, after listening to his answer, Rukia had more doubts in her heart.

"What do you mean by persecuted by Aizen and others?"

"I am a Quincy who lives in seclusion in the human world, but I was discovered by Aizen not long ago."

"Out of curiosity about the Quincy, they captured me and brought me to Soul Society for human experiments."

Haschwalth lifted up his upper body clothes, revealing the blood-stained bandage on his abdomen.

Perhaps because the wound has not yet healed, the blood on the bandage is still spreading.

"…It doesn't look fake."

Rukia temporarily believed Haschwald's words, and the hostility on her body subsided.

"The last two questions, how did you escape from Aizen? Why do you know me?"

"I hid my own strength and ability, which made Aizen and others misjudge."

While Haschwald said this, he pulled out a throwing knife from his arms and threw it casually.

With a hiss, the throwing knife flew past Rukia and stabbed into the door of the court behind her.

"Everything is cut in two. I can ignore defense and cut off everything."

"With this ability, I unlocked the shackles and escaped from the laboratory. After that, I came here inexplicably and kept going around in circles."

"As for why I know you, it's because Aizen and the others discussed you in the laboratory."

"They said that there is something called Houyu in your body, and the next stage of the goal is to catch you and get Houyu from you."

"At that time, I was no different from a dead person in Aizen's eyes, so they didn't avoid it.Dislike."

"I see, that makes sense."

Rukia suddenly realized.

Putting away her Zanpakutō, she completely let down her guard.

"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Although this is the first time we meet, we have a common enemy in Aizen, so let's form an alliance."

"That's what I thought."

Hastwood nodded slightly in response.

"By the way, what do you mean by saying that everyone in the Central 46th Room is behind the door?"

Rukia looked at the door of the Court of Inquiry behind her.

Hastwood: "It's literally what it means. You'll understand once you push the door open."

"Okay, I'll open the door then. "

Lukia raised her hand and pressed on the door.

At this point, there was no time to worry about whether doing so would offend the Central 46th Room.

With a slight force on her palm, a click sounded, and the door of the Central 46th Room slowly opened to both sides.

At the same time, a strong smell of blood came to her face.

"This…Impossible! How could this happen!"

Looking at the bodies lying in various corners of the courtroom with faces full of horror.

Lukia's pupils contracted, and an expression of shock and disbelief appeared on her face.

"Central 46th Room, wiped out? !"

"It was like this when I came."

Hastwood came from behind and pointed to the wall not far away.

"Judging from the blood condition, these people should have been killed a day ago."

"As for who the murderer is…I think you should have the answer in your mind. "

"..."

Rukia fell silent and did not reply.

In fact, the answer is already obvious.

The location of the Central 46th Room is the core area of ​​the Seireitei.

He was able to bypass the patrols of the Shinigami and come here to kill all the people in the Central 46th Room.

The only person who can do this is Aizen, who has mastered the mirror flower and water moon.

"I didn't expect Aizen to attack the Central 46th Room. What good will this do for him?"

"I don't know, but… huh?"

Hastwood's reply was halfway through when he suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner not far away.

Not only him, Rukia also noticed something wrong and felt a breath from the corner.

But before she could react, a calm voice sounded first.

"Shoot him! God's gun! "

A faint spiritual pressure wave rose, and a cold light instantly pierced Haschwald's chest, nailing him to the wall and making a muffled groan.

"Haschwald!"

Rukia reacted a little late and turned her head to look at the source of the attack.

"Ichimaru Gin, why are you here!"

"Why are you here? This should be my problem."

Ichimaru Gin took back the magic gun and smiled.He walked out of the shadows with his eyes half closed.

"I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family would actually cooperate with the Quincy to massacre the Central 46th Chamber."

"If your brother knew that you did such a thing, I think he would be sad."

"What nonsense are you talking about! It was you who killed the members of the Central 46th Chamber!"

Rukia snorted coldly and activated the first release to summon an ice pillar to attack Ichimaru Gin.

But in the next second, Ichimaru Gin activated the instant step and appeared at the other end of the court.

The divine gun was activated again, and the short Zanpakuto blade quickly extended and came in front of Rukia in a blink of an eye.

Rukia dodged the attack by turning sideways and raised her right hand to aim at Ichimaru Gin.

"Hadō no 31 red fire cannon!"

"Huh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ichimaru Gin's eyes.

Before launching the attack, he really didn't expect Rukia to be able to dodge the explosion of the God Gun.

Also launching the Broken Path to block the Red Fire Cannon, Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

"It seems that you have become much stronger during the time you left Soul Society."

"Do you think I would come back stupidly without any preparation?"

Rukia snorted coldly and launched another attack.

The crisp collision sound echoed in the Tribunal, and the two of them fought more than a dozen times in just a few breaths.

After completing the fight again, Ichimaru Gin took the initiative to step back and distance himself, and came to the outside of the Tribunal.

"Don't try to run!"

Rukia chased after him immediately.

But at this moment, the aura of Ichimaru Gin began to rise continuously.

"Bankai – God Killing Gun!"

With a bang, a cold light appeared in front of Rukia in an instant.

"So fast!"

Rukia's pupils contracted, and she instinctively dodged to the side.

But even so, she was still hit by the sudden attack, leaving a scar on her arm.

"What a pity, I wanted to use this move to take you down directly."

"...It seems that I underestimated you."

Rukia's expression became serious.

Because her strength increased greatly in a short period of time, she subconsciously thought that she could take down Ichimaru Gin.

But in fact, Ichimaru Gin's strength is not weak.

As a genius who once shocked the Central Spiritual Academy, the opponent's strength is even higher than hers.

Looking at Ichimaru Gin, who exuded terrifying spiritual pressure after Bankai.

Rukia took a deep breath, and the spiritual pressure on her body also began to rise rapidly.

"Huh? This is really unexpected."

Ichimaru Gin's squinting eyes opened for the first time.

As a captain-level Shinigami, he certainly understood what the changes in Rukia meant.

"It seems that we can't hold back."

Raising the God Killing Gun and aiming at Rukia again, Ichimaru Gin's aura reached its peak.

But just as the two were about toWhen they were about to fight, a figure with a terrifying aura appeared between the two.

"Asshole! Stop it!"

"Captain, Captain?"

"Oh, why are you here?"

Seeing the identity of the person, Rukia and Ichimaru Gin stopped their actions tacitly and chose to stop fighting.

"It's been a long time since I saw the old man so angry."

"Is that person… Rukia Kuchiki?"

"It seems that the situation is a bit complicated."

Just then, three more voices sounded.

Three figures wearing captain's feathers appeared in the open space not far away at almost the same time.

"Captain Kyoraku, Captain Hitsugaya, and… Aizen?!"

As her eyes swept over the three people, Rukia's expression instantly became serious.

Looking at Aizen standing on the right, she subconsciously clenched her Zanpakutō and entered alert status.

"I told you to stop, don't you understand!"

Yamamoto snorted coldly, and the surging spiritual pressure instantly pressed on Rukia.

Seeing this, Rukia finally realized what was going on, put away her Zanpakutō and looked at Yamamoto.

"Captain General! I have something to report!"

"Ichimaru Gin and Aizen colluded with Hueco Mundo and intended to disrupt the order of the Seireitei!"

The intelligence containing a huge amount of information echoed above the Central 46th Room.

However, to Rukia's surprise, Yamamoto and others did not react to this report.

As if he hadn't heard it, after seeing Rukia put away her sword and stopped making trouble, he looked at another person involved.

"Gin Ichimaru, I'll give you three minutes! Explain why you and Rukia Kuchiki fought in the Central 46th Room!"

"Captain, I received news that a Quincy had sneaked into the Central 46th Room, and I rushed to rescue it as soon as possible."

"But when I arrived, all the members of the Central 46th Room had been killed. There were only the Quincy and the eldest lady of the Kuchiki family who was chatting and laughing with the Quincy."

"The Central 46th Room was wiped out?"

Yamamoto appeared in front of the gate of the Tribunal not far away, and his eyes swept inside.

After seeing the purgatory-like scene, his expression instantly became ugly.

"Kuchiki Rukia, I need an explanation!"

"Captain, this is all done by Ichimaru Gin! It has nothing to do with me!"

"Speak up! Do you think you can just keep silent and pretend nothing happened!"

"Is this…Mirror Flower and Water Moon?"

Looking at Yamamoto who kept ignoring her words, Rukia finally reacted and looked at Aizen.

"You are too slow to react, Kuchiki Rukia."

Aizen didn't seem surprised that his ability was exposed. He raised his hand and pushed his glasses and said.

"You should have known from the beginning that you were always in the range of the mirror flower and water moon."

"Damn it! You can only force it.Are you coming!"

Rukia put her palm on her Zanpakutō.

But just as she was about to launch an attack, a terrifying murderous aura enveloped her.

Rukia paused and looked to the side.

The next second, Yamamoto's angry face came into view.

"Kuchiki Rukia! If you mess around again, I will kill you even if you are from the Kuchiki family!"

"...Yes."

"Do you have anything to say about you and the Quincy!"

"...No."

"You are so stubborn!"

Yamamoto snorted coldly and called over Kyoraku Shunsui who was still watching the show.

"Send her to the Second Division and let Captain Soi-Fong interrogate her personally!"

"Huh? This is not good. "

"I don't want to repeat it a second time."

A vein appeared on Yamamoto's head.

The Central 46th Chamber was killed by the Quincy, which was already a bottom line for him.

Rather than worrying about Rukia's identity, he needed to know the information about the Quincy more now.

"Send Kuchiki Rukia to the Second Division and inform Ukitake not to leave the Thirteenth Division. Do you understand!"

"Understood."

Kyōraku Shunsui sighed in his heart.

As Yamamoto's first batch of disciples, he certainly understood what the Quincy meant to Yamamoto.

However, with the information he got from Ukitake, he knew that this matter was not that simple.

His eyes paused on Ichimaru Gin, and Kyōraku Shunsui 313 turned his head to look at Rukia.

"Come with me to the Second Division. I hope you won't resist." "

"...I will cooperate."

"That's good."

Kyoraku Shunsui nodded slightly, activated the flash step and disappeared with Rukia.

After watching the two leave, Yamamoto looked at the other people standing around.

"Captain of the Fifth Division, Aizen, listen up! You stay here to guard the scene and don't let anyone get close!"

"Yes!"

"Captain of the Tenth Division, Hitsugaya Toushirou, listen up! You go to the Fourth Division to invite Captain Unohana to check these bodies!"

"Yes!"

"Captain of the Third Division, Ichimaru Gin, listen up! You and I will stay in the First Division and can't go anywhere before getting my order!"

"Eh? There's no need to be so troublesome, Captain-General, do you suspect that I have a problem?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Come with me! "

Yamamoto snorted coldly, grabbed Ichimaru Gin and disappeared with him.

After that, Hitsugaya Toushirou also disappeared and went to the Fourth Division to find Unohana Retsu.

Watching the two of them leave, Aizen pushed his glasses on his face and walked into the courtroom.

"Everyone is gone, you can come out."

"Aizen, I need an explanation."

Hastwood walked out of the shadow in the corner.

"ForWhy not just kill Kuchiki Rukia and escalate the conflict to the maximum?"

Aizen: "That's not the best approach. Only when Kuchiki Rukia is alive can she act as bait and lure Lin Dong and Kurosaki Ichigo to Soul Society."

"In addition, this can reduce the risk and avoid triggering the life-saving device on Kuchiki Rukia."

Haschwald: "Life-saving device?"

Aizen nodded: "As far as I know, the identity plates of Akatsuki members are engraved with teleportation magic circles, which can directly summon the Sekiryuutei to appear when they are in danger of their lives."

"Kuchiki Rukia lived with the Sekiryuutei for a period of time. This time she returned to Soul Society alone, and there is a high probability that she will carry a similar device on her body."

"Okay, I understand."

Haschwald accepted the explanation.

"What is the probability of success of the plan? "

"100% sure, as long as the Red Dragon Emperor comes to Soul Society, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni will be defeated."

"I hope what you said is true."

Hastwood stretched out his hand to open the gate of the Invisible Empire.

But just as he was about to leave, Aizen's voice sounded again.

"Compared to Captain Yamamoto, I think you should pay more attention to the existence of the Red Dragon Emperor."

"What do you mean?"

"The Red Dragon Emperor may not lose to Captain Yamamoto, and there is also the possibility of a great victory."

"If you want to have a better harvest of the endgame, you'd better place some chess pieces next to the Red Dragon Emperor in advance."

"...I will convey your words to His Majesty. "

Hasward walked into the shadows and disappeared in the courtroom the next second.

Seeing this, Aizen left the courtroom and went outside, looking up at the sky above.

Everything is ready.

The next thing to do is to wait slowly.

....
