Chapter 039: Aizen's Research

"I heard that this year's Shinō Academy has another talented boy who graduated in a year. He must be the one."

Among the streets of Seireitei, Mazuru met Aizen Sōsuke, the vice-captain of the Fifth Division.

Behind Aizen, there was a young man with short light purple hair, small and narrow eyes, and he always had his eyes squinted and a smile on his mouth.

"That's right."

Aizen responded, he turned his head again, looked at the young man behind him and said, "Gin, you just joined the Fifth Division, and you may not know much about the Gotei 13, this is Mazuru, the vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division."

The boy called Gin by Aizen couldn't help but widen his eyes, revealing a pair of light blue pupils. He turned to Mazuru and said respectfully, "Greetings, Vice-captain Mazuru."

Mazuru nodded slightly at the boy, then asked Aizen, "His name is Gin?"

"Yes, Ichimaru Gin."

While introducing Ichimaru Gin to Mazuru, Aizen said with a smile, "Earlier, your Thirteenth Division had an extra genius, Shiba Kaien, which attracted the envy of many divisions, but now, our Fifth Division team also got a genius shinigami."

"Although Gin has just joined the Fifth Division and has not yet become an seat official, he also graduated from the Shinō Academy in one year, and he is younger than Shiba Kaien. I am afraid that it will not be long before he can become the 3rd seat of our Fifth Division. He may even go one step further and become the vice-captain."

"Vice-captain Aizen is wrong. Gin is certainly a genius, but if he becomes the Fifth Division's vice-captain, where should Vice-captain Aizen go?" Mazuru immediately caught a flaw in Aizen's words.

"Vice-captain Aizen, I..." Gin felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Aizen turned his head and smiled at Gin, then turned to Mazuru and said, "The former captain of the Third Division retired. After Gin grows up, maybe I will choose to retire."

"Retirement is really a good idea. Speaking of it, I actually really want to retire. You also know that our captain is not in good health. As the vice-captain, I often need to help the captain handle team affairs."

"The words of Vice-captain Aizen reminded me that Shiba Kaien, the 3rd seat of our team, can become the 3rd seat in a short period of time. I can also make way for a genius like him."

In the corridors of this Seireitei, the two of them started talking about the newly graduated genius of Shinō Academy, and then suddenly talked about retirement. Obviously, from the outside, these two people are extremely young, and they are not old shinigami at all. .

Gin followed behind Aizen, listening to the discussion between Aizen and Mazuru, he was also a little dazed for a moment.

Ever since he witnessed something in Rukongai when he was a child, in order to get back what the person next to him took from Rangiku, he has been hiding himself and trying to get close to Aizen, after graduating from Shinō Academy and joining the Fifth Division , he was finally able to appear beside Aizen openly and aboveboard. He thought that by following the other party, he could spy on some secrets belonging to Aizen.

As a result, the current conversation between Aizen and Mazuru is becoming more and more wrong.

Is this still the Aizen he remembered?

"No, this only shows that Aizen is better at disguising than I imagined." Gin made a judgment in his heart.

After some chatting, Mazuru left.

Aizen also took Gin to the direction of the Fifth Division. On the way, Aizen seemed to think of a question, so he asked Gin, "Gin, what kind of person do you think the Vice-captain Mazuru is?"

Gin was slightly taken aback.

Are Aizen's words testing me? Or, did he have suspicions about the vice-captain named Mazuru? But, would a person like Aizen also be cautious of someone?

Gin couldn't figure it out, but he still gave the answer, "He seems like a very interesting person!"

"That's right, he's really interesting."

The corners of Aizen's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't say much.

...

Night time.

The Soul Society is huge and Seireitei is only a small part of it. It is always Rukongai that surrounds Seireitei that really occupies most of the Soul Society.

There are 320 districts, and one doesn't know how many souls live in them.

Every day new souls arrive, and every day old souls die.

Leaving Seireitei.

Mazuru came to Rukongai quietly.

South 80 District, this is the edge of Rukongai, just like Zaraki District in North 80 District, the environment here is harsh, there is no grass, and famine is everywhere. The souls living here decide who gets the right to live by killing each other, and because of this, even the Seireitei didn't bother to pay attention to the chaos of law and order. In fact, for the Seireitei, they didn't care about the idea of ​​Rukongai's soul.

For the shinigami of Seireitei, as long as Rukongai's soul does not disappear in a large area, which will affect the stability of the Three Realms, they generally seldom come to Rukongai.

Often when they come to Rukongai, it is also because of hollow's appearance.

Hollow will continue to grow stronger through the consumption of souls, causing huge damage to the Soul Society and the present world, and Rukongai, as a gathering place for souls, occasionally encounters hollow invasions who came to hunt in Rukongai.

In order to prevent hollows from becoming too strong, the Shinigami had to kill the hollows before they could devour a large number of souls.

Therefore, rather than protecting Rukongai's souls, it is better to say that they are preventing hollow from becoming too strong.

After encountering Aizen in the Seireitei during the day, Mazuru came to this barren area at night.

A chance encounter, of course, cannot be a chance encounter, especially for a person like Aizen who has a plan and has a clear goal, the chance encounter during the day was just for him to find an opportunity to invite Mazuru out.

At that time, the two seemed to be talking about retirement, but in fact, they had already completed the information transfer work quietly.

Not long after Mazuru wore a black cloak and came to a wilderness in the southern 80th district, another figure came here.

"I kept you waiting, Mazuru-kun."

"I just came here too." Mazuru said softly, and looked at the person who came again, "Mr. Aizen."

The visitor was also wearing a black cloak to cover his figure. He raised his head slightly, and it was Aizen's face that was reflected in the dim moonlight.

"Mr. Aizen hasn't contacted me for a long time, what's the matter with contacting me today?"

Aizen didn't hide anything, "New research has produced something, so I want to invite Mazuru-kun to see it."
