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

Chapter 53. A thousand days of beekeeping, a single day of beekeeping.

During this special period, such a heinous incident occurred, and even Kasumi Masashi could only vent his anger on Kumoi Yosuke and Higashino Shuichi.

Furthermore, he not only cannot publicize this matter, but must also do his utmost to minimize its impact.

It's like having your teeth broken and having to swallow the pain yourself.

The reason why Kasumi Masashi arrived late was because he was personally directing the evacuation of the Bakuya sword wielders and all the equipment used to make Bakuya swords to the manor of the Kasumi clan, the predecessor of the Kasumi family.

At the same time, Kasumi Masashi also needs to appease the elders of the Kasumi clan and make them keep their mouths shut.

Because the territory of the Kasumi clan is a place that the Gotei 13 dares not easily enter under any circumstances.

If not handled properly, the Gotei 13 will be standing against all the nobles.

Only in this way, even if the escaped Shinigami reveals the secret of the Baku-no-Tsurugi to the Gotei 13, as long as the Gotei 13 cannot obtain concrete evidence and catch the culprit red-handed, they will have no way to deal with the Kasumioji family.

However, what Mayu Kasumi didn't know was that last night, none of the Grim Reapers from that secret workshop left alive.

The Grim Reaper that couldn't be found was simply someone Higashino Shuichi used his abilities to break down into spirit beings and then throw into Peach Blossom Spring.

Therefore, the order that Mayu Kasumi issued in his final rage, "Find that traitorous Grim Reaper and bring him back to be torn to pieces," was actually impossible to fulfill.

"Oh, well, you can't really say that. Aren't I a traitor too? I just didn't run away."

Feeling completely relaxed as he left the Kasumioji residence, Higashino Shuichi thought to himself with a sense of joy.

This time, his destination is the Second Division!
"Oh? You mean the fourth division's vice-captain, Higashino Shuichi, is looking for me?"

Kisuke Urahara, who was conducting some unknown research inside the maggot's nest, received a report from Soi Fon.

At this time, Soi Fon, although she was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl and her body was not yet fully developed, had officially taken over the name "Soi Fon" from the leader of the Bee Clan, who had few members left.

He has also mastered Shikai and officially become a seat officer of the Second Division.

"Yes, Lord Shuichi said he has some things he wants to discuss with you!"

Soi Fon's face was still slightly flushed, and she was breathing heavily with her small mouth.

Clearly, she hadn't yet mastered the Instant Step technique, and had rushed over at top speed.

"After all, this is a rare task, personally given to me by Lord Xiu, and I must complete it as quickly and effectively as possible!"

Soi Fon thought to herself.

"I understand. Have him wait in my break room. I still have some work to finish, I'll be there in a bit."

Urahara Kisuke nodded towards Suihou and replied warmly.

Higashino Shuichi is looking for him?

After Soi Fon left in a hurry, Kisuke Urahara shook his head and smiled to himself.

He rarely leaves the Second Division and stays in this dark and gloomy maggot nest. He has only met Higashino Shuichi once, twenty years ago. Why would Higashino Shuichi suddenly approach him today?

Is it possible?
Kisuke Urahara thought of something, but then felt it didn't make much sense. If it really was because he had secretly taken the special weapon that Shuichi Higashino was carrying that time that it was discovered, then Shuichi Higashino should have come to question him long ago.

"Is a mere lieutenant of the Fourth Division enough to trouble you this much, Urahara?"

Seeing Urahara Kisuke's pause, the blue-haired male Shinigami standing opposite him, who had been continuously conducting research, snorted coldly and said with a hint of disdain.

"He's not just an ordinary vice-captain, you know~"

Kisuke Urahara looked up at the good helper he had found in the maggot's nest and smiled.

"Are you still going to continue? It's okay if you don't; I can finish it by myself!"

"The blue-haired Grim Reaper spoke arrogantly." Urahara Kisuke, however, was already used to the former's bad temper and smiled as he continued with his previous work.

"It's okay, he can wait a bit."

And so, about an hour later, Higashino Shuichi finally met Urahara Kisuke in his rest room. Urahara Kisuke was the third seat of the Second Division and the squad leader of the Third Division of the Onmitsukido.

"Long time no see, Third Seat Urahara!"

Higashino Shuichi actually wanted to call him more affectionately, but considering that he had only met Urahara Kisuke once in this world, he had to give up.

Kisuke Urahara, that shut-in, really doesn't like going out.

"Vice Captain Higashino, it has indeed been a long time since we last met. I remember the last time we met, you were still the third seat of the Fourth Division."

A polite remark from Kisuke Urahara.

"Yes, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye~"

Time really flies!

"I heard that Urahara, the third seat, likes to tinker with some novel little gadgets all by himself?"

"It's just a trinket, not worth mentioning!"

The two people in the room were chatting away, seemingly having a lively conversation, but in reality, it was all just pointless chatter.

Both sides are waiting for the other to make the first move.

In the end, it was Urahara Kisuke's side, who had less pressure, who stood out in the end.

Higashino Shuichi couldn't keep wasting time talking to Urahara Kisuke like this. Since Urahara Kisuke himself was unwilling to bring up the matter, he simply pretended not to know and let everything proceed as if nothing had happened.

"Actually, I came to see Urahara Sanke today because I have a favor to ask of you."

"What is it? Please speak freely, Vice Captain Higashino."

Then, Higashino Hideichi put on special gloves and took out the Mo Yao sword, Lei Huo, that he had "openly and legitimately" taken away last night from his box.

"I wonder if, with Urahara Sansuke's knowledge and the background of your Second Division Captain Yoruichi's family, you've ever seen a similar sword?"

Shuichi Higashino stared into Kisuke Urahara's eyes.

"Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever seen it."

Kisuke Urahara frowned, carefully examined Raiho, and then a look of great regret appeared on his face.

Pretend, you pretend again.

Higashino Shuichi was utterly incredulous at Urahara Kisuke's reaction.

But he wouldn't expose him. Since Kisuke Urahara liked to play dumb so much, fine, it was time to show him the price of pretending to be stupid.

"That's a real pity. This sword has a remarkable history, but for certain reasons, it's not convenient for me to take it directly to the Twelfth Division and hand it over to Captain Hikifune for research."

I've heard that in your Second Division's "Maggot's Nest," there's a prisoner with considerable research talent named Mayuri Kurotsuchi. I wonder if I could borrow him?

You mean Nie?

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, but it was immediately dissolved by Kisuke Urahara's smile. "Did Soi Fon tell you?"

Higashino Shuichi did not answer, but only returned Urahara Kisuke's meaningful smile.

As the saying goes, "You raise bees for a thousand days, but use them for only one." It's time for Broken Bee to step forward and take the blame!
