Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

He was genuinely taken aback by this decisive and efficient style.

That's way too fast; this kind of thing shouldn't be done this quickly.

But on second thought, I think it's understandable.

Perhaps she trusted not herself and Kisuke Urahara, but old man Yamamoto.

"No rush. I can't stay in Seireitei for many more years, so of course I have to hurry." Kiryuu waved his hand casually, "Anyway, you've already made your plans, haven't you?"

Aozaki Mayuki nodded.

The external brain he unilaterally acknowledged—Kisuke Urahara—had indeed already completed its concept.

Chapter 64 The Corrupt System

Watching Kiryu's departing figure, Aozaki Mayuki and Urahara Kisuke both breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the Gotei 13, Kiryu Hikifune is not a captain known for his combat prowess, but he is still a level above the average captain.

None of them are currently at the company commander level, so even if the opponent's strength isn't in combat, they definitely have the ability to kill them instantly.

Of course, they knew that Kiryuki would not kill them.

They just didn't want to be blamed for slacking off.

"That was so close!"

Kisuke Urahara wiped non-existent cold sweat from his brow and asked:

"Aren't you going back? If Yoruichi finds out you sneaked out, she definitely won't want to continue working."

“I thought you would say, ‘She’ll drag me back to work.’”

"She's not that kind of person."

“Indeed.” Aozaki Mayuki nodded seriously and chuckled, “Actually, I suddenly remembered something.”

"What?" Kisuke Urahara asked.

Aozaki Mayuki said, "Could you make a protective suit, preferably one that can withstand the attacks of a high-ranking officer? Price is not an issue."

"What do you need a protective suit for?" Kisuke Urahara scratched his head, puzzled. "With your monstrous spiritual strength, how could a high-ranking Kido possibly harm you?"

"It's for Kukaku," Aozaki Mayuki said with a smile, scratching his head.

"Kukaku?" Kisuke Urahara stroked his chin. "I see. Her hobby is indeed very dangerous, and without proper protective measures, she definitely needs a protective suit!"

"As expected of you, you even know what I'm thinking," Aozaki Mazuki exclaimed.

"No need to flatter me." Kisuke Urahara sighed and said helplessly, "Leave it to me. After all, Kukaku is my friend too."

"In fact, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I would never have thought about this kind of problem."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Aozaki Mayuki waved her hand and said with a smile, "I'm going to find another place to slack off."

"There should be a limit to slacking off, right? Well, whatever... I'm not much better off than that."

Watching the bouncy Aozaki Mayuki, Urahara Kisuke let out a long sigh and lazily walked towards the barracks.

Aozaki Mayuki carefully climbed onto the roof and over the wall.

"Third Seat Aozaki, why don't you take the right path and instead climb over the wall?"

The gentle voice that reached my ears was like a spring breeze.

"Because it's more interesting that way."

After saying that, Aozaki Mayuki was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise:

"Vice-Captain Aizen, so it was you!"

Aizen adjusted his glasses and smiled, "It seems I'm very pleased to see Third Seat Aozaki. It's an honor that the Captain-Commander's disciple recognized me."

"I should be the one feeling honored," Aozaki Mayuki said with a smile. "Lieutenant Aizen's name is known to everyone in the Shinigami Academy."

"Countless teachers and students throughout the school regard you as an idol. Your calligraphy works are still hanging in the auditorium of the Spirit Arts Academy. Every time I pass by, I can't help but admire them for a long time."

"Oh~ I didn't expect that Third Seat Aozaki would also be interested in calligraphy." Aizen Sousuke said with surprise.

Aozaki Mazuki said sincerely:

"Actually, I have admired Vice Captain Aizen for a long time. When I was in the Shinigami Academy, I wanted to sign up for your calligraphy class."

"However, because they are strict with me and busy with cultivation, they have no free time and have no choice but to give up."

"It's a pity I missed the opportunity to learn calligraphy from you."

"Actually, you can learn calligraphy anytime; you don't necessarily have to go to the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy."

Aizen Sousuke said:

"I happen to enjoy practicing calligraphy in my spare time. If you'd like to learn, you can come find me anytime!"

"..."

The patrolling Grim Reapers fell silent as they watched the two men flattering each other.

Aozaki Mayuki climbed over the wall and looked around in confusion, only to find, strangely, that no one had noticed her.

Not to be narcissistic, but to be completely unmodest.

Even without his status as the captain's disciple, he would still turn heads wherever he went.

The pedestrians on the street weren't paying attention to them, but instead all stared at the two strangers who were talking, which clearly indicated something was wrong.

"Long time no see, Mayuki."

"A mirage, huh..." Aozaki Mayuki recognized the familiar voice and nodded, saying.

"It's been a long time, Lord Aizen."

Aizen Sousuke stepped out of the shadows and stood in front of Aozaki Mayuki: "It seems you're not surprised that I came to find you."

"Didn't you have Yin give me a hint when we were at the Spirit Arts Academy?"

Aozaki Mayuki smiled and said:

"Back in Rukongai, you said I was very smart, so please trust my abilities."

He's very confident; he truly deserves to be the man who walks alongside me...

"follow me."

"Yes."

Whether it was a misperception or not, Aozaki Mayuki felt that Aizen's smile was much brighter.

The two walked side by side slowly toward the west of Seireitei, leaving the 12th Division barracks and stepping into the residential area of ​​the commoner Shinigami.

The surrounding area was still bustling, with the sounds of shop owners arguing with customers lingering in the air, and people standing in the alley not far away soliciting customers, the noise and laughter echoing in my ears.

Aizen Sousuke seemed to be speaking from experience: "Shingetsu, what do you think of this world?"

Aozaki Mayuki was slightly surprised, seemingly not expecting Aizen to suddenly bring up such a high-level topic.

He fell into deep thought, searching his mind for a suitable answer to deepen Aizen's sense of identification.

Aizen wasn't in a hurry; he stood by the roadside and quietly watched him.

Recalling Aizen's attitude towards the Seireitei, Aozaki Mayuki looked at the pedestrians on the street and slowly spoke:

"If I only saw them, I would think the world is a wonderful place... but when I think about more people and things, I realize it's not good enough!"

"An interesting answer." Aizen Sousuke asked with a smile, "I wonder who you're thinking of, and what they did?"

Aozaki Mayuki said frankly, "Of course, it's those guys who hold high positions but only cause trouble for others!"

Aizen Sousuke chuckled lightly, "It seems that Shinzuki harbors deep resentment towards the Tsuna-Yashiro family. Actually, I don't have any good feelings towards them either."

“That’s natural, after all, all the troubles around me are caused by them.” Aozaki Mayuki shrugged. “But it’s not just them, there’s also the Seireitei itself.”

"Ultimately, it was the corrupt system of the Seireitei that gave them too much power, allowing them to act without restraint."

Aizen Sousuke's eyes lit up, a slight ripple of emotion stirring within him, but he didn't show it, instead saying calmly:

"I never expected that Zhenyue would have her own unique insights into politics. She truly deserves to be called a legendary genius."

"This has nothing to do with whether I am a genius or not."

Aozaki Mayuki waved his hand.

"It's just because I wasn't a nobleman at the time, and I was familiar with better and more advanced systems."

“Looking back at this corrupt and backward ‘court’ that resembles the present world, one would naturally feel disgust and contempt.”

Chapter 65 The Spirit King is a puppet of the nobles

A minute later, Aozaki Mayuki stood frozen in front of the laboratory door. The door opened, and a black sphere, about the height of a person and with an irregular surface, was clearly visible in front of her.

"Is this Aizen-sama's research?" Aozaki Mayuki swallowed hard, making no attempt to hide his greed.

Aizen Sousuke knew what kind of person he was all along!

“That’s right.” He smiled and nodded. “This is the result of my decades of research.”

There was no one else in the laboratory, and it was completely silent except for his voice echoing in the room.

"Decades ago, when I had just become the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, my spiritual pressure level had reached the first-class spiritual power."

"Even so, I never gave up on improving myself and continued to train diligently until thirty years ago when my spiritual pressure reached its current level."

"But I can't be happy, because since then, I can't see the way forward. No matter how much I train, my spiritual pressure doesn't increase at all, and releasing my Zanpakuto can no longer bring me an increase in spiritual pressure."

"Later I understood that this was the end of death. There was no other reason why this would happen; it was precisely because of the limitations of life that death itself possesses!"

Aozaki Mayuki was excited and asked at the right moment, "So, Lord Aizen wants to break this restriction?"

Aizen Sousuke, his eyes filled with admiration, slowly said:

"Yes, in order to break this limitation, I spent decades using the souls of hundreds of Shinigami and Rukongai residents with Shinigami potential to create this beautiful gem."

"With it, one can transcend the boundaries of death and become a higher level of life!"

“Since this ‘gem’ is so important,” Aozaki Mayuki frowned and said softly, “it’s probably not appropriate to show it to me so easily. When did I gain your trust?”
