The Missing Soul Incident
Kyoraku Shunsui is a veteran wanderer.
He is free and easy, likes to search for flowers and willows, and goes to and from the land of wind and moon, but he always adheres to the habit of living among thousands of flowers and not touching his body with a single leaf.
The so-called not sticking to the body means that after so many years, he is still an old bachelor.
However, although he is an old bachelor, it is undeniable that Kyoraku Shunsui is very popular.
During his long career as captain, he did not know how many drinking buddies he met.
Normally, the captain of the Eighth Division's favorite thing to do is to go drinking with all kinds of friends.
Gosuke Shigure, but one of his many drinking buddies.
In addition to drinking, Kyoraku Shunsui will also share with Gosuke Shigure the latest anecdotes in Seireitei.
The Eighth Division is an intelligence team. Although Kyoraku Shunsui, the captain, is not doing his job properly, if there is any latest news, he can always know it as soon as possible.
"Gosuke, have you heard about the disappearance of souls?"
Kyoraku Shunsui said something casually.
Gosuke Shigure's eyes froze.
When he heard this sentence, a name flashed in his mind for the first time.
Aizen Sōsuke!
In the original book, Hirako Shinji and other captains were killed by Hollow, and the cause of that incident was the disappearance of the soul.
Because Aizen secretly carried out the Hollow experiment, a large number of Rukongai's ordinary dead souls disappeared, which then attracted the attention of Seireitei. Gotei 13 sent the captain to investigate, but they did not expect that Aizen was fishing from the beginning.
He was no longer satisfied with carrying out the Hollow experiment on ordinary souls, and set the target on the captain and vice-captain.
Hirako Shinji and others were tricked, and Urahara Kisuke liked to blame him.
And Aizen, as the winner, got away with it until a hundred years after that incident, when he had a complete showdown and stopped acting.
Gosuke Shigure immediately vetoed it after going through the whole story of this big incident in his mind.
No, it should not be Aizen.
At least, the time of that incident should not be now.
You know, Hirako Shinji is not the captain now.
He looked at Kyoraku Shunsui again, and asked curiously: "Oh? Listen to what the Captain Kyoraku said?"
Kyoraku Shunsui didn't mean to hide it, otherwise it would be impossible to take the initiative to talk about it in front of Gosuke Shigure, "It happened recently. The Seireitei Research Institute under the 12th division detected that Rukongai's souls began to appear in large quantities. Disappeared, so I reported this matter to the first team, and then the first team passed this matter to our eighth team."
"I want our eighth squad to find out the cause of the matter."
"You also know that my No. 8 team is an intelligence team, which is responsible for investigating intelligence."
"But even so, I sent someone to investigate for a while, but I still found nothing."
"Didn't I think of you when I was drinking with you today? Gosuke, you are also a vice-captain anyway, and the 11th team often goes to Rukongai to fight against Hollow. If you find anything unusual, please let me know as soon as possible." Oh."
After Kyoraku Shunsui finished speaking, Gosuke Shigure understood immediately.
Emotion is a problem that the first team sent to the eighth team.
Kyoraku Shunsui's investigation was fruitless, so he wanted to get clues from other sources.
The bottom of my heart was clear, but verbally, Gosuke Shigure still said softly: "I know, I will let the team members pay attention to this matter."
Kyoraku Shunsui nodded, "Stop talking, keep drinking, Gosuke, your drinking capacity is really getting better and better."
Gosuke said with a smile: "After all, drinking capacity will increase!"
When he said this, he inevitably slandered Kyoraku Shunsui.
Obviously he doesn't hold much alcohol, but he still likes to drink.
Basically every time Kyoraku Shunsui and Gosuke Shigure drink, Kyoraku Shunsui gets drunk.
...
Back to Team Eleven.
Captain Kenpachi Azashiro is not there again.
Recently, the whereabouts of Kenpachi Azashiro have become more and more strange.
He didn't stay in the captain's room, nor did he stay in the training room behind the captain's room like before. No one knew where he went or what he did.
Gosuke Shigure took care of the team.
In my mind, I remembered what Kyoraku Shunsui said again, showing thoughtfulness.
Until the evening.
Captain Kenpachi Azashiro has just returned.
He is still dressed in the same unchanging way, and Zanpakutō is not seen on his body.
"Captain, you're back." Gosuke Shigure greeted Kenpachi Azashiro.
Kenpachi Azashiro nodded, serious.
Gosuke Shigure is an extrovert, since Kenpachi Azashiro didn't speak, then he just took the initiative to speak, "By the way, Captain Kyoraku told me something today."
Kenpachi Azashiro still didn't speak, just looked at Gosuke Shigure, which meant to let Gosuke Shigure speak.
"Recently in Rukongai, there has been a large-scale disappearance of souls. The eighth team is trying to investigate the whole story of this incident, but they have not found any clues, so the Captain Kyoraku asked me for help. He wants our eleventh team Help keep an eye on this."
When Gosuke Shigure was talking about this, he had been staring at Kenpachi Azashiro, paying attention to the expression of Kenpachi Azashiro.
Although it disappeared soon, Gosuke Shigure still noticed that after he said this, a strange color flashed in Kenpachi's eyes.
After Gosuke Shigure finished speaking,Kenpachi Azashiro said: "Since Captain Kyoraku has begged for you, you should tell the matter and let the players pay more attention."
"yes."
Gosuke Shigure responded.
Kenpachi Azashiro didn't intend to stay here for a long time, even if this is the captain's room, the real owner here is actually him.
But he would rather let the vice-captain Gosuke Shigure handle team affairs here, but he has no intention of staying here for a long time.
Wait until the Kenpachi Azashiro leaves.
Gosuke Shigure spoke softly: "Sure enough, is this matter related to you?"
Although the strange color in Kenpachi's eyes was concealed quickly, Gosuke Shigure still saw it, and then he had the answer in his heart.
Although he knew that Kenpachi Azashiro was a very ambitious person. In the original book, he was sentenced to be imprisoned in Mūken because he planned something, but Gosuke Shigure did not expect that the other party would start to take action so quickly, and then It's time to move on.
According to the original book, it won't be long before Kenpachi Azashiro will surrender himself to Central 46 because of the conspiracy, and then be imprisoned in the bottom of the underground prison.
But in the past year, getting along with each other has been quite pleasant after all.
In addition, Gosuke Shigure is also very satisfied with the current position of vice captain, and really has no intention of becoming captain and serving as Kenpachi.
He'd like to try and stop Kenpachi if he could.
