Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 28. What kind of class is this, acting so pretentious?
Light snow was falling in Seireitei.

Higashino Shuichi gently brushed a few snowflakes off his sleeve.

After saying goodbye to Soi Fon, who was somewhat reluctant to leave, he departed from the Second Division barracks.

Before they had taken more than a few steps, they suddenly felt several unusual spiritual pressures around them.

"Ah"

Higashino Shuichi smiled slightly, and a special hand gesture popped out from between his left hands, sending a pre-programmed signal to Aizen, who was far away in the Fifth Division.

Afterwards, Shuichi Higashino left Seireitei on his own and headed to the 73rd ward of South Rukongai.

This area was once designated as a hunting ground for nobles, so the ordinary people who originally lived here were all relocated.

Following that hunting incident, the entire 73rd district suffered severe damage. In less than two months, given the importance the Seireitei places on this level of numbered district, the reconstruction level here is far from being habitable again.

Therefore, this place briefly became a temporary hiding place for some high-ranking criminals who had broken in from the area.

Of course, it is also very convenient for some meetings that are not suitable for public appearances.

"You've followed me all this way, aren't you going to make a move? You don't expect me to reach District 80, do you?"

Higashino Shuichi stopped and placed the sword case on his back on the ground.

"Hideichi Higashino, former vice-captain and current third seat of the 4th Division of the Gotei 13, is skilled in backstabs and hand-to-hand combat. His Zanpakuto's Shikai is strictly controlled; no one may Shikai their Zanpakuto without the permission of a captain-level Shinigami."

Shortly after Higashino finished speaking, several figures landed near him, surrounding him and cleverly using binding techniques to block any possible escape routes.

"Alright, alright, I'll talk. Who are you trying to say all this to? Don't I know my own situation?"

Higashino Shuichi thought the person who spoke was definitely sick. Was he trying to show off how great his information was?

The problem is that everyone in the Gotei 13 knows these things, if not everyone does. So what's there to pretend about?
"Unless you add 'following Aizen Sousuke, the last seat of the Fifth Division' to my name right now, I'll kneel down before you without a second thought!"

Higashino Shuichi added a thought to himself.

"Three things. First, return the Zanpakuto that's at your feet to us!"
The second thing is to tell me how you obtained that Zanpakuto!
The third thing is to recount in detail everything that happened after you returned from the mortal world, went to the Second Division, and came out today!

As he watched the man in the distance pretending to raise three fingers in sequence, Higashino Shuichi suddenly felt a little dazed. Why did he feel like he was the one being played dumb?
Is he really that good at pretending?
"Okay, you have three things to ask for, but I'll only talk about one."

Higashino Shuichi raised his head, his arrogant posture on full display.

Upon hearing this, the Grim Reaper opposite him already showed some displeasure.

But when he heard what Higashino Shuichi said next, he could no longer suppress his anger.

"What kind of class do you think you are, to talk to me like that?"

"Broken Path No. 63, Thunder Roar Cannon!"

Without hesitation, the Grim Reaper immediately unleashed his killing move at Higashino Shuichi.

Without any chanting, yet with undiminished power, his fully proficient, high-level Breakthrough technique has brought down countless Grim Reapers.

Among those Grim Reapers, there were quite a few who had reached the level of a vice-captain.

Therefore, he was very confident that his sudden killing move would definitely kill the arrogant Grim Reaper. Afterwards, he only needed to explain to his superiors that the Grim Reaper was unyielding and refused to confess anything until his last breath. In any case, as long as he retrieved the Mo Yao Blade, his superiors wouldn't really blame him.

However, what he didn't know was that the Grim Reaper he was about to face was no ordinary Grim Reaper.

"The Thirty-nine Binding Dao, Round Gate Fan!"

A circular spiritual energy shield formed in front of Higashino Shuichi, and even the howling, lightning-infused explosion of the Thunder Roar Cannon couldn't tear a crack in the shield.

"That's impossible! That's just a mere binding spell number thirty-nine! How could it possibly stop my Thunder Roar Cannon?!"

The Grim Reaper roared in shock at Higashino Shuichi.

Unfortunately, Higashino Shuichi had no obligation to answer him; the response to this Grim Reaper was Higashino Shuichi's cold finger.

"Broken Path No. 63, Thunder Roar Cannon!"

The same broken path, the same lack of chanting—the Grim Reaper even tried to imitate it, using a round gate for defense, so much so that even though he had a chance to dodge, he didn't.

However, the difference between the results before and after is like a chasm between heaven and earth.

With a thud, after the explosion, the surviving body of the Grim Reaper collapsed to its knees, having lost its support.

"They really don't deserve it!"

Higashino Shuichi's gaze did not linger on the corpse of the Grim Reaper, but instead swept over the remaining Grim Reapers around him.

Unexpectedly, after witnessing Higashino Shuichi's almost overwhelming kill, these Grim Reapers did not show much panic on their faces. Instead, they all raised their Mo Yao swords and launched a simultaneous attack on Higashino Shuichi.

"Who gave you such courage? Liang Jingru?"

Higashino Shuichi silently thought of an ancient trope from his past life.

At the same time, the body's movements were not disturbed in any way.

"An inch!"

"Broken bones!"

"Take the mountain!"

Aside from dealing with the first Shinigami, where he used the same tactics against him, Higashino Hideaki didn't even bother using Kido on the remaining Shinigami who didn't even have the spiritual pressure of a vice-captain. He simply used Shunpo and Hakuda, and in less than a minute, all of them were gone to another world to join the previous Shinigami.

The reason why Higashino Shuichi acted so decisively this time, not even bothering to leave a single survivor, was because after the first Grim Reaper fell, Higashino Shuichi sensed a sudden fluctuation in spiritual pressure in one place.

Bang bang bang bang
Several loud applause rang out from one side, and the spiritual layer of the twenty-sixth curve of the Binding Path faded away, revealing an old man dressed in noble attire.

"Everyone says that the former vice-captain of the Fourth Division, Shuichi Higashino, was a very gentle and kind Shinigami. I never imagined that the real Shuichi Higashino would be so ruthless and also hide such powerful strength!"

"You flatter me. There are plenty of people in Soul Society who hide their true selves. What am I compared to them? Besides, isn't this also a form of kindness towards them? At least they died peacefully, without any pain, didn't they?"

Higashino Shuichi didn't recognize the old man, but his intuition told him that this man's status in the Kasumioji family was definitely not low.

"Is that so?" The old man smiled meaningfully. "Let me introduce myself. I am the steward of the Kasumioji family, a noble family of high rank, and also the creator of the Zanpakuto at your feet. You should have heard of my name before: Kumoi Yosuke!"
