Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"What's different?"

"On the contrary, it's different anyway."

Byakuya stiffened his neck, looking like he'd given up on everything.

Seeing this, Nairoku couldn't help but laugh.

The Byakuya of today is completely different from the stern and unsmiling Byakuya he remembered.

But this is fine too.

The Byakuya in my memory carried too many burdens, some of them too heavy.

Young people should be more energetic.

“Kid, I can tell you with certainty that Hisana doesn’t have a love interest, but there’s one thing you need to be aware of: she’s not a noblewoman, and she’s not even a resident of Seireitei.”

Naraku Sora said seriously:

"You are the sole heir of the Kuchiki family. The disparity in status may have some negative effects. You must learn to overcome this on your own."

Kuchiki Byakuya pondered for a few seconds, then nodded solemnly.

Naraku Sora continued:

"In addition, if you meet someone you like, you should pursue them yourself. I can teach you some secrets: be bold, careful, and thick-skinned."

"The most important thing is sincerity."

After saying that, he waved his hand and walked towards Fei Zhen.

Next, we need to arrange for this ill-fated girl to go to the Technology Development Bureau to improve her physique. As for whether Byakuya can win her over, that depends on his abilities.

Byakuya watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his expression gradually hardening.

After everyone had left, an orange head peeked out from the shadows, a thoughtful look flashing across its delicate face:

"Bold, meticulous, and thick-skinned?"

"How about I give it a try?"

……

……

Aizen has disappeared once again.

Hirako Shinji searched the entire barracks but couldn't find a trace of him.

The thought of what he had witnessed during the chaos of the spirit corpses sent chills down his spine.

Because of his humble, gentle, and helpful personality, Aizen was extremely popular within the division, and the members were all happy to interact with this vice-captain.

Even the members of other squads treated Aizen with great respect.

But the more this was the case, the more worried he became.

He knew better than anyone how serious the harm a person skilled in disguise and powerful could cause to the Soul Society.

Over the years, the Soul Society has experienced countless disasters and can no longer withstand further turmoil.

To prevent anything bad from happening, he once issued an order within the squad that all Shinigami of the rank of Seat Commander and above must report to him before going out on missions.

The goal is to keep track of Aizen's movements.

At first everything was fine, but as time went by, Aizen seemed to grow tired of this troublesome method and began to ignore the order.

At first, other team members would help with the reporting.

For example, when the task is urgent.

But later, this guy even stopped acting altogether.

He disappears all the time, and nobody knows what he's doing.

They didn't respect him, the captain, at all.

Just as Hirako Shinji was gritting his teeth inwardly, Aizen finally returned from outside the barracks.

He stepped forward, about to speak, but Aizen spoke first:

"Captain, I was just about to look for you."

"I'll leave today's team affairs to you. I have to go out tonight; the research project at the Technology Development Bureau has just reached a critical juncture."

Seeing the undisguised apology on the other person's face, Hirako Shinji swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After a moment of silence, a strange smile appeared on his lips:

"It's just a day's team duties, no problem, just leave it to me."

"Thank you very much, Captain."

"It's a small matter."

Aizen turned and left, satisfied.

Watching his departing figure, Hirako Shinji narrowed his eyes.

His intuition told him that things weren't that simple.

This will be an opportunity, a chance to seize Aizen's tail!

After watching Aizen's figure disappear from sight, Hirako Shinji raised his hand and chanted a Kido incantation in a low voice.

A layer of hazy light enveloped his body, making him blend into his surroundings.

The 26th chapter of the Binding Path: Curved Light.

Because his reverse stroke is a Zanpakuto of the illusion type, he is extremely well-suited to the Kido, which is related to illusions.

In terms of mastery of the Ghost Path alone, no one in Soul Society can surpass him.

This is the confidence of a veteran captain.

Clad in a layer of demonic light, Shinji Hirako carefully followed behind Aizen.

Soon, the two arrived at the Shin-O Prison, one after the other.

As soon as he entered the barracks, Hirako Shinji's eyes widened.

Within his spiritual pressure perception range, spiritual pressure belonging to a void actually appeared.

It was brutal, cruel, and yet somehow familiar.

Under the curved light, Hirako Shinji grinned, secretly excited at having discovered Aizen's weakness.

Researching contraindications?

Or perhaps, collusion with the Hueco Mundo?

Either one of these points is enough to expose your false pretense!

Suppressing his excitement, Shinji Hirako followed the trail of lingering spiritual particles in the air.

Chapter 344 There are also differences in wisdom

Secret laboratory.

Kisuke Urahara rested his hands on the control panel, staring intently at the screen in front of him, a look of emotion on his face.

Layer upon layer of data kept flipping through, and a large amount of relevant information kept popping up. We summarized and categorized the data, extracting the essential information.

Although being in the True Central Prison often resulted in exploitation and oppression by someone, it wasn't entirely without its benefits.

Back when he was in the Second Division, he had neither money nor manpower. Even to conduct an experiment, he had to save up for a long time.

Not to mention the various precious materials and the high-precision instruments and equipment.

The missions of the Second Division are usually closely related to covert operations, so anything related to technology is nowhere to be seen.

He wanted to do some research and experiments, so he could only do so by buying second-hand items discarded by the Twelfth Division from the store after receiving his monthly salary.

Of course, most of the time he used local materials to make them himself.

But one person's strength is ultimately limited, even if he is Kisuke Urahara, whose wisdom is second only to Naraku Sora.

The lack of key materials and equipment often brought Kisuke Urahara's research projects to a standstill.

He was very distressed about this.

Kisuke Urahara had considered explaining the situation to his superiors, but his inherently lazy nature kicked in, and he was also afraid that his research results would be exploited by some people with ulterior motives.

Therefore, he decisively abandoned this tempting idea.

But who would have thought that Yoruichi Shihouin, as the captain, would collude with Nana Rakuzou, first rehiring the former members of the Maggot Nest team, and then transforming them into a laboratory.

After that, he went even further and filled his own warehouse with Hollow corpses that even the Twelfth Division rarely saw.

Unable to resist his greed, he fell into the trap that Naraku had prepared for him, thus beginning a hellish and miserable life.

From this perspective, his wisdom was indeed inferior to that of the brute.

Thinking of this, Kisuke Urahara's expression became somewhat subtle.

Why not just let it fall into emptiness?

What's the difference between him and someone with intellectual disabilities?

Fortunately, Mayuri Kurotsuchi never cares about these things. If he knew that he had been tricked by someone, he would probably be laughed at for the rest of his life.

However, to be fair, since the establishment of the Technology Development Bureau, he has never worried about equipment or materials.

Just focus on completing the tasks assigned by Naraku.

Although often those tasks are very abstract and absurd.

For example, this time, that guy actually wanted to connect Hell and Soul Society to bring the spiritual particle density of the two worlds into balance.

This will improve the living environment of Rukongai.

Even though we know that Naraku Sora is for the souls of ordinary people living in the back neighborhoods, the difficulty of this project is a bit too outrageous.

What if we release the wicked people from hell?

Kisuke Urahara scratched his messy hair, feeling utterly miserable.
