Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Gin Ichimaru: ?

"Didn't you decide to work hard?"

"I just want to look at this information, not to revise any documents," Aozaki Mayuki said seriously.

I shouldn't have had any expectations of you!

Gin Ichimaru's eye twitched, then he sighed and sat down in the office chair representing the highest authority of the inspection team, looking utterly hopeless.

Hmm... this chair is definitely not as comfortable as a sofa!

The clock ticked, mingling with the sound of pages turning.

Shinjuku browsed through the files page by page, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Maggot Nest is a special prison set up by the Second Division to hold prisoners. When entering the prison, one cannot carry a sword.

The people detained inside are all judged as potential dangerous individuals by the existing regulations of Seireitei, but they do not necessarily have any criminal record.

However, even if some of them have not committed any crimes, they are in fact no different from criminals.

Their status is equivalent to that of criminals, and they have no human rights whatsoever.

In Mayuki's eyes, this group of dangerous individuals, who have no human rights but possess some power, are undoubtedly the best sparring partners.

Whether it's one bone or two bones, or simply basic fighting techniques, he still has a long way to go!

Zhenyue seemed to have discovered something interesting. Holding the heavy documents, she half-reclined on the sofa, slowed down her flipping through the book, and nodded as she read.

"Ichimaru, I think we should go and see this guy who's getting special treatment."

Aozaki Mayuki walked up behind Ichimaru Gin and placed the document on the table.

"Received special treatment?"

"Look, this is the man named Mayuri Kurotsuchi."

Aozaki Mayuki pointed to the photo in the document, and Ichimaru Gin saw a handsome man with blue hair and yellow eyes.

"Mayuri Kurotsuchi, a dangerous individual who is secretly researching Quincy?" Gin Ichimaru put down the documents he was reviewing, picked up the materials, and examined them carefully. "Why would you be interested in him?"

"This guy is smart, and a scientist who dares to experiment and explore. You know, technology is the primary fighting force," Aozaki Mayuki said sincerely. "Don't you think this kind of scientific talent deserves attention and preferential treatment?"

"What technology is the primary fighting force..." Gin Ichimaru rolled his eyes: "You think I would believe such nonsense?"

Aozaki Mayuki was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Okay, actually I wanted him to use technology to create a beautiful wife for me!"

Gin Ichimaru paused for a moment, then put on a serious expression: "In that case, it is indeed a very important matter, but I don't know much about scientific research. Can he really meet your requirements?"

Aozaki Mazuki: "..."

Chapter 62 What do you want?

The area inside the moat, which is located northwest of the Second Division barracks and has an area of ​​about thirty rooms.

Underground special threshold management office.

From the outside, it looks like a mountain formed by tightly connected huge rock walls, but inside it is actually a huge underground prison.

Surveillance team members dressed in black could be seen patrolling everywhere, creating a somber atmosphere.

The criminals imprisoned here were seen by Central Cell 46 as no different from maggots clinging to life, hence this prison was also known as—

A nest of maggots!

bang bang bang...

Click, click, click...

Clubs and fists thundered continuously in the dungeon, and hundreds of figures fought wildly in the hall.

The timid prisoners screamed in terror, ran around with their heads in their hands, and huddled in corners, trembling.

Rocks were blasted to pieces by the pressure of the fist, and stone chips scattered everywhere.

The intense spiritual pressure transformed into massive sky-blue waves, crashing against the dome-shaped cage.

"Damn the inspection team!! Why are they locking us up here? Let us out!!"

"Go to hell!!"

A tall, burly man dressed in tattered clothes lunged at them, roaring furiously.

His face was splattered with the prisoner's blood, his white clothes were stained red, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on the black-haired man not far away.

He was about twenty years old, only about 1.85 meters tall, with long black hair, a faint smile on his face, wearing a black shihaka outfit, and a silver-haired imp following behind him.

He's clearly a handsome and delicate-looking man, yet he dares to come to a place like this.

The tall prisoner wore a mad and cruel smile that terrified even the other prisoners.

We must make this pretty boy understand how dangerous it is to be good-looking in a place like this.

"..."

In a deeper cell, a man with bizarre black and white makeup sat on a white stone bed, his face showing impatience.

"They've started causing trouble again. What a boring bunch!"

Prisoners in the maggot's nest are not restricted in their freedom within the prison.

This man, however, was locked in a solitary cell with heavy shackles on his feet, indicating that he was far more dangerous than the other prisoners!

Kaka-

Accompanied by the sound of gravel hitting the ground and light footsteps, shadows stretched long under the lamplight.

Two figures, one tall and one short, descended the narrow steps.

"He took care of the prisoners outside all by himself. He must be a very important person!"

A hoarse voice came from inside the cell, its strange tone sending a chill down one's spine.

"What brings someone as important as you to this place...?"

"I came to see you... of course I have something to say."

Aozaki Mayuki shook the blood off her hands, walked to the cell door, and said with a satisfied expression:

“Mr. Mayuri…”

Seems like a troublesome guy...

Mayuri Kurotsuchi frowned as he watched Aozaki Mayuki approach and heard the wails coming from afar.

The last person who made him so unhappy was a member of the inspection team named Kisuke Urahara.

"Ichimaru, wait for me outside."

Aozaki Mayuki waved his hand, and the cell door restricting Mayuri Kurotsuchi's freedom opened automatically.

To his slightly surprised gaze, Aozaki Mayuki plopped down on his bed.

"Oh... how could you be so rude to someone you've just met?"

He raised the corners of his mouth and sneered:

"Although it used honorifics, it was still very impolite."

"is it?"

Aozaki Mayuki scratched his head, then held out his hand and said:

"I forgot to introduce myself. I am the newly appointed third seat of the second division and captain of the inspection team, Aozaki Mazuki."

"A name I've never heard of."

"It's probably because I graduated from the Spiritual Arts Academy this year and only joined the inspection team yesterday."

"Graduating from the Spiritual Arts Academy this year..."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi calmly observed Mayuki's enthusiastic demeanor and outstretched hand, pondered for a moment, then reached out and shook it, saying:

"You've been promoted to the third seat right after graduation. Congratulations!"

"So what exactly brings you here?"

Aozaki Mayuri smiled and said, "Mr. Kurotsuchi Mayuri, don't you find it boring to stay here?"

Upon hearing Aozaki Mayuri's words, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm and said:

"What do you mean by that! Or do you not understand this place at all?"

"The Shihōin family made a foolish decision to appoint you as the captain of the inspection team. You're truly a derelict captain!"

“No, no, no,” Aozaki Mayuki scoffed, “you still don’t understand what I mean.”

He slowly let out a long breath.

"I'm not asking you whether you're happy here."

"Of course, your environment here is much better than up there. You have a private room and you don't have to stay with those dirty, aggressive guys."

"But ultimately, this room is also a prison, imprisoning your freedom."

"And most importantly..."

"To be honest, I admire your skills."

“I probably know you better than you think, and I know the maggot's nest better than you do. There’s nothing for you to play with here.”

"This is not a place for you either."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's brows furrowed suddenly.

"Hmm, it seems you're starting to understand what I mean."

Aozaki Mayuki raised his hand.

The shackles on Mayuri's legs were immediately unlocked. At the same time, Gin Ichimaru, who was guarding the steps, glanced back and turned his head back when he saw that there was no danger.

Now that he has regained his "freedom," Mayuri Kurotsuchi looks at Mayuki's blood-stained hands.

This "dangerous element" did not launch an attack; instead, he sat there as if in deep meditation.

He was well aware that he was identified as a dangerous element not because of his strength, but because of his talent and ideas.
