"what?"

Yamamoto Genryusai's eyes widened immediately. A fiery spiritual pressure, due to the change in his emotions, crashed down in the conference room, making the already empty shell of Mima's face even paler. It wasn't until Shunsui used her own spiritual pressure to help him share the pressure that he felt a little better.

Chunshui pulled down his straw hat to hide his eyes: "Old man Shan, Mizhen is not in good condition right now."

"...It was my fault for losing my composure." Yamamoto Genryusai withdrew his spiritual pressure, a hint of annoyance flashing across his aged face, before continuing to question Watanabe Yama, "Fifth Seat Watanabe, please provide a detailed account of the time and location of the attack on your team, including the events leading up to and following, and the enemies you encountered—no detail should be overlooked."

"Yes, Captain-Commander Yamamoto."

Mima nodded: "The time was... about ten minutes ago. The search team went to the vicinity of the Ninth Division's camp and was attacked there... The enemy... was only one person."

"Only one person?" Chunshui couldn't help but ask this time, "Are you sure it was just one person who seriously injured all three captains?"

“I’m sure.” Mima put on a look of utter despair. “The enemy… used despicable means to deceive Vice-Captain Sarugaki, who had arrived at the scene first. She disguised herself as a wounded soldier, gained everyone’s trust, and then launched an attack while Vice-Kido Master Yushoda was treating her. They knocked down Captain Hirako and Vice-Kido Master Yushoda, and Vice-Captain Sarugaki was also injured.”

"What? Hiyori's there too?"

Anxious Yoruichi took a step, as if she wanted to rush up and ask him face to face, but she held back.

“That’s right… When we arrived near the camp, Captain Kensei and Vice-Captain Kunan, who had gone berserk for unknown reasons, were chasing Vice-Captain Sarugaki. The enemy used the two of them as a distraction, which is why Captain Aikawa and Captain Horihashi were unable to attend to anything else and fell to her sword.”

"Watanabe, Fifth Seat, do you still remember what the enemy looked like?"

Retsu Unohana asked, "Can you tell the enemy's identity and methods?"

"The enemy... is a Grim Reaper, but he's not wearing a Shinigami uniform."

Mima gritted his teeth and said indignantly, "A woman, young-looking, with long black hair and bangs, is an unfamiliar face. She is very skilled in swordsmanship and demonic arts... She seems to like to verbally attack her opponents and make them lose their composure."

After hearing his words, Retsu Unohana and Genryusai Yamamoto exchanged glances. The former frowned and guessed, "There are no members in Seireitei who match these characteristics and strength... It might be a disguise. We also need to consider whether... an old friend from below has escaped."

Chapter 62: Yoruichi's Visit

She pointed to the ground.

Directly below the First Division—the Mao Underground Prison!

It holds a large number of criminals who have broken taboos, including many captain-level experts—and even several former captains are imprisoned there.

As Retsu Unohana said, it's normal to suspect that someone might have escaped from the Shinigami Underground Prison if a strange, skilled person appears.

After thinking for a moment, Yamamoto Genryusai asked Mima a few more questions, such as details of the battle and more characteristics of the enemy.

Within the bounds of what can be said, Mi Zhen speaks without reservation.

The emergency audience ended quickly.

It seems that Yamamoto Genryusai has already made up his mind.

He tapped the ground twice with his cane, and the next second, two members of the Covert Operations team appeared at the entrance to the conference room.

"Recall the Sixth Division Captain Kuchiki Ginrei and the Thirteenth Division Captain Ukitake Jushiro," Yamamoto Genryusai ordered in a deep voice.

The two covert fighters immediately retreated.

He then looked at the three captains in the conference room one by one and called out to each of them: "Second Division Captain Yoruichi Shihouin, immediately lead the Execution Army to meet Kisuke Urahara - although it is against the rules to act without authorization, there is a reason for this, so we will not pursue it for the time being."

"As ordered."

Ye nodded, then vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Fourth Division Captain Retsu Unohana, return to the Fourth Division barracks and await further orders. If Yoruichi Shihouin and Kisuke Urahara return with the wounded, you will personally provide medical assistance immediately."

"clear."

Unohana Retsu responded, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Captain of the Eighth Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, quickly descend into the Shinigami Underground Prison to verify the prisoner list; there must be no errors."

"receive."

Chunshui sighed and first went out to find a few members of the Eighth Division to take Mizhen back to the barracks to rest.

Then, with a heavy expression, he patted the latter's shoulder, using the gesture to mask the disappointment in his voice.

"Mizhen, go and rest first. Leave the rest to us."

After that, everyone proceeded in an orderly manner.

Kuchiki Ginrei and Ukitake Jushiro returned to the headquarters a few minutes later and went to the inner room with the old man. Shunsui led the men down to the Shinigami Underground Prison, while Mima was taken back by the soldiers. On the way, he was treated by Unohana, who was traveling with him, and his spiritual pressure returned to the level that a fifth seat should have.

Meanwhile, he also manipulated his clone in Rukongai to run desperately towards the edge of Soul Society, and in a deserted place, he used the Black Hole to jump to Hueco Mundo, then returned to the human world to return the things to Anise.

"Test complete!"

"Huh... so fast... boss, where are you going?"

Mizhen rushed into the underground base in a flurry of activity.

He threw all the opinions he had written down on the way and the Gundam 1 to Anise, and before she could react, he turned and left.

Next, he ran all the way to the cave he had dug in a deserted bay, took out the divine sword buried underground, loosened the seal a little, and replenished the spiritual pressure he had used up that night, in preparation for any eventuality.

If it weren't just to be on the safe side, he really wouldn't want to touch that thing...

It was only a half-second delay in sealing that nearly caused the clone, which had taken down several captains in one go, to explode on the spot, becoming a laughing stock.

That kind of death is much more painful than being stabbed twice.

Don't ask him how he knew.

..........................................

A few hours later, at the Eighth Division barracks.

After a busy night, the morning sun finally rose from behind the mountains.

Mizhen sat in the corner of the room, fiddling with the flower cards in front of her, planning her next move.

—The objectives have all been achieved. The Visoreds have been successfully established and will surely be framed by Aizen and then leave Soul Society. He has successfully established a preliminary cooperative relationship with Aizen. Everything is going so smoothly.

So logically, all he should do now is wait and see.

Although he often considers himself a prophet, all he can see is the development in the comics. He can't fully predict the changes his actions will bring, so naturally he can't completely eliminate the worries in his heart.

It must go smoothly on Urahara's side...

Suddenly, someone appeared beside him without warning.

—Holy crap, could it be that bastard Aizen who has no sense of martial ethics sent someone to assassinate me?

Mi Zhen, whose mind was already complicated, thought of more than a dozen possibilities in an instant, but after seeing the identity of the person who came, he couldn't help but slowly type out a question mark.

That night, I...

"Huh...huh?" Mima jerked her head back with a reaction perfectly befitting her character. "Captain Shihouin, what's wrong with you...?"

This nobleman, known for his decisive actions, did not wear a captain's haori.

Instead, she wore a brown cloak over her tight-fitting clothes and immediately covered Mizhen's mouth as soon as she appeared.

"Shh." She pointed outside. "Don't speak loudly, or someone will hear you."

Mima nodded, and then Yoruichi let go of his hand, sat down cross-legged with a bold gesture, and casually picked up a flower card and twirled it in her hand.

After calming down from the shock of the unexpected event, Mima lowered her voice and said, "What happened to you...?"

Yoruichi took a breath and stared at Mima with a sharp gaze: "Watanabe, you saw the scene with your own eyes last night, didn't you?"

“Yes.” Mima nodded. “I don’t know about Captain Kensei and Vice-Captain Sarugaki, but I saw the rest.”

"Then answer me honestly."

Yoruichi put down her karuta and sternly placed her hand on Mima's shoulder. "What did Kisuke do last night?"

"Captain Urahara...get to the scene, repel the thieves, and then work with Master Natsuhiko to find a way to treat the wounded..." Mima looked at Yoruichi with a confused expression. "I already said all of this last night...is there a problem?"

At this point, Mima roughly guessed why Yoruichi had come to find him.

"Tsk..."

Yoruichi scratched her hair in frustration, looked away, and gazed in the direction of Room 46: "No, even though you're there, those old fogies won't listen to a Fifth Seat..."

"Captain Shihōin, what happened?"

Mima's expression turned serious: "Could it be Captain Urahara's side...?"

Yoruichi sighed and replied, "Kisuke... he was framed..."

"Framed...?" he exclaimed in shock. "What happened? Although Captain Urahara's deployment violated regulations, he did save everyone's lives!"

"..."

Yoruichi didn't answer him. Instead, she stood up and paced back and forth hesitantly, clearly considering whether she should say what she was going to say next.

But actually, even without her saying it, Mima could probably guess.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Rescuing People

“Captain Shihouin, is there anything I can help you with?” Mima stood up. “Although I don’t know what happened, Captain Urahara’s condition must be very bad—you must have come here for his sake.”

"That's true... but Watanabe, you just escaped death, I can't drag you into this again..."

Before Yoruichi could finish speaking, Mima hurriedly said, "Captain Urahara saved my life and Lisa's life. I must repay him. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know."

"..." Yoruichi stopped, glanced at him, then gritted her teeth: "I can't care about that anymore—"

"?"

"Watanabe, can you still use your Zanpakuto's abilities?" Yoruichi asked.

Mima nodded: "My spiritual pressure has been almost fully restored by Captain Unohana, so there's no problem."

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi quickly took off her cloak and threw it to Mima, then said, "Very well, I need you to help me kidnap a few people."

"Rob... rob a few people?"

“Hirako and Lisa,” Yoruichi said, flicking her ponytail. “Have your clone wear this, then come with me. We’ll talk on the way.”

"Let's break apart, Ryugetsu."

Mima sat down by the wall, then raised his sword and made a slash, and a new body appeared in the room.

The "original body" then tilted its head to the side and collapsed to the ground.
