On August 997, 8 of the Holy War Calendar, less than a day after being interrogated, Shihouin Ichiryu was not only acquitted, but also, while the entire Gotei 8 was reprimanded, he was commended and... was even appointed captain of the th Division!
The position of the captain of the supervisory corps is still concurrently held...
In this way, the soldiers of the Supervisory Corps became a "double organization" of soldiers of the Supervisory Corps and soldiers of the Ninth Squad.
Although the Supervisory Corps executed many soldiers internally, it was not in chaos at all, and it completely shirked any responsibility related to the Aizen incident. In comparison, although old man Yamamoto was in charge of the Gotei 13 and did not punish any other Shinigami, the ordinary soldiers could not help but feel worried.
After Yilong left Room 46, he returned to the barracks of the Second Division and prepared to pack up...
"Luggage" is secondary. The main thing is to say hello to Shattered Bee. If you leave without saying a word, you'll probably have to eat the "two-hit kill" of [Sparrow Bee] again when you see her next time!
After returning to the team barracks, Yilong did not see Soi-Fong...
Over the past hundred years, Yilong has known Soi Fong's character very well. He was not in a hurry to find her, but went straight back to his room.
Before entering the door, Yilong felt that the atmosphere was a little bit awkward, but he ignored it and pushed the door open.
The next moment, before Yilong could react, his waist felt tight, and then the spell of [Sparrow Bee] bloomed at his heart...
At this time, Yilong still pounced forward at lightning speed, with a few drops of blood on his fingers, and was about to write...
But immediately, another much smaller hand grabbed the back of his hand!
"Tell me! Are you a fake Shifengyuan? I don't want to hear anything else, yes or no!"
"or."
"you……"
It was obvious that Soi-Fong heard something from Yoruichi, or rather... Yoruichi asked Soi-Fong some questions, which made Soi-Fong more certain of some of her guesses.
However, at this time, Yilong may have used his hidden strength, and the soldiers only found that there was a sudden and continuous noise in the room of Vice Captain Shifengyuan, which stopped very late...
That night, Soi-Fong seemed to recall the assassination execution many years ago. In the darkness of the night, she was alone in the deep enemy territory. When the enemy came from the front, she drew out her short blade. When the enemy came from the side, she shook her waist and clamped the enemy's throat. When the enemy came from behind, she raised her legs and kicked him. The gushing of scarlet blood only made her more excited. Her moans under the moonlight were nothing but a sonata of killing. Waves of amazing energy burst out from her small body!
……
The next morning, Shifengyuan Ichiryu officially went to the 9th Division to take up his post!
"After you take up the post this time, I will directly appoint you as chief officers. The former captain of the 9th Division, Tosen Kaname, defected with Aizen Sosuke, so now we have a heavy responsibility..." Yilong said to several masked Shinigami.
Among them was the "Weihuohu" who had been in charge of delivering messages, and six other people wearing masks of "Jiao", "Dragon", "Raccoon", "Rabbit", "Fox" and "Leopard".
"What do you think? Feel free to tell us first." Yilong asked the seven people.
Wei Huohu was the most enthusiastic and spoke first: "Master Yilong! I think we should not only identify the possible traitors in the team, but also suppress Tosen Kaname's previous prestige... I suggest that we first carve a portrait of Tosen Kaname and put it in front of the courtyard of the 9th Squad. Those who refuse to step on it will be imprisoned, and those who spit on the painting will be treated preferentially!"
Yilong: ...
"Ah Hu...it's been so many years, is this still all you can do?" Yilong said speechlessly.
"Ah? This..." Weihuohu saw that Lord Yilong was not satisfied and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
"Lord Ichiryu is now the captain, and Aizen is no longer in Soul Society. From now on, he should naturally establish his authority and not be like before... Ouch!" As the Jiao-masked man was speaking, he was hit on the head by the Dragon-masked man.
"elder brother……"
The man with a dragon face and the man with a dragon face are wearing masks, but it can still be seen that their bodies are almost the same.
"Lord Yilong should be the same as before, instead of disguised as he has been for the past hundred years!" the dragon-faced man corrected.
"Yes, yes, my brother is right." The dragon-faced man immediately changed his words.
Yilong glanced at them - it seemed that he couldn't expect them to have any constructive suggestions. After all, they were not strategists...
"Alright, get ready. I won't be able to appoint you directly as the chief officers later, and... remember to call me 'Captain'." Yilong reminded them specifically, and it was obvious that he was going to put them all in the ninth squad.
At this moment, a rat-masked Grim Reaper arrived and reported the news to Yilong...
"Let's go slowly." Yilong nodded and gave the order.
……
Yilong apparently only brought seven people with him, but when he arrived outside the 9th Squad's barracks, there were already many officers and soldiers lined up at the door to greet him.
They received the notice last night that the new captain would take office today.
Although Ichiryu Shihouin was in the second division before, his name is well-known in the Gotei 13, and his presence is far beyond the vice-captains of other divisions.
Yilong noticed that everyone looked a little nervous, so he smiled calmly.
After Aizen's defection, it is really a cause for celebration to see such a gentle smile in the Soul Society...
Unfortunately, it didn't seem to ease everyone's mood much.
"Captain Shifengyuan!"
When Yilong approached, all the officers and soldiers bowed and saluted.
Although Tosen Kaname did not have a good relationship with Shihouin Ichiryu when he was still there, and could be said to be one of the captains who had the worst relationship with Ichiryu after Aizen, so the soldiers of the 9th squad used to treat Ichiryu with awe and rejection, but now... no matter what they thought in their hearts, all the officers and soldiers present behaved very respectfully!
after all……
Rumor has it that after Aizen massacred the Forty-Six Chambers, a group of nobles were furious, and the new Forty-Six Chambers demanded an investigation into their accomplices in the Gotei 13.
It's like the supervisory troops are sharpening their own knives!
In theory, the responsibility of the Supervisory Corps is far less than that of the Gotei 13. After all, the Supervisory Corps' supervisory power over the captain and vice-captain is limited. However... when Shihouin Ichiryuu pursues the matter, the momentum is no less. According to his standard, half of the Gotei 13 must be implicated.
At this time, the members of the 9th team were afraid that Captain Shifengyuan was here to "cleanse" them, so how could they not be respectful? The little resistance in their hearts had long disappeared without a trace.
It can be said that this time, fortunately, Yilong had prepared in advance, so that the 46th room was able to reorganize quickly...
Otherwise, if the nobles were to "fight" among themselves, the Gotei 13 would have a high degree of space for self-management. By then, it would be discovered that the Third, Fifth, and Ninth Divisions, from the vice-captains to the soldiers, were all openly missing their old captain.
"Are you the third officer of the ninth squad? Where is your deputy captain?" Yilong knew by looking at the armband that the people standing in the front of the welcoming team were all officers.
"Vice-Captain Hisagi was brought to the 46th Chamber for interrogation this morning!" the Third Seat said nervously with some concern.
What's worrying is that not only Hisagi Shuhei, but all the other officers might be held accountable and interrogated if they tell the truth - after all, it was your captain who defected!
What I am worried about is, of course, whether Vice Captain Hisagi will be in danger...
Yilong was stunned when he heard this, then he threw away his feather ornament and turned away.
"Captain Shifengyuan..."
Upon seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of the 9th Squad were all horrified, thinking that Shifengyuan Ichiryu was dissatisfied with something - based on everyone's impression of him, it was not impossible that he would order people to surround the 9th Squad barracks the next moment.
"How can you interrogate my deputy captain without saying hello to me? And today is my first day in office, the deputy captain must be here too!"
Yilong said this in a very domineering manner, which was different from before... and it warmed the hearts of everyone in the 9th Division.

90. Chapter 90 Interrogation
90.
2023-09-04
Hisagi Shuhei and Kira Izuru were summoned to Room 46 for interrogation!
This is the 46th room directly calling people over, without going through the Gotei 13!
So "theoretically" Yamamoto and Ichiryu were both unaware of the incident, but in reality they did not deliberately conceal it, as a soldier notified the First Squadron immediately, and... the Supervisory Corps also learned the news, and Xu Rishu had reported the matter to Ichiryu before.
However, Yamamoto was in a very passive position at this time because of the defection of the three captains. After knowing this, he did not take any other action. He just asked the third seat of the first team, Okiga Genshiro, to wait outside the underground meeting hall.
In name, it was just a wait, but everyone knew that this was also a reminder to Room 46 not to go too far...
As for Hinamori Momo, she was naturally subject to special interrogation, but because she was stabbed by Aizen, she was seriously injured and was still recuperating in the Fourth Division. The forced interrogation was stopped by Unohana, and later Yamamoto also sent people to communicate and temporarily suspend the matter.
After hearing the report from Kyonichi, Ichiryu slowed down his pace on the way to the 9th Squad's barracks - if it weren't for the rapid reorganization of the 46th Division and the pressure it put on the Gotei 13, these Shinigami wouldn't have been so obedient!
Let them be more anxious now, and then they will rely on and trust Yilong, the new captain, more. If they don’t seize the opportunity now, it will be difficult to have such a cost-effective "touching" opportunity in the future.
……
Hisagi and Kira, looking at the Inquisitor who was bearing the brunt of the attack, were lost in thought...
The Gotei 13 were previously managed to a high degree of independence. Although the Forty-Sixth Chamber could command the Gotei 13, it was actually only commanding Yamamoto, who was in charge of the Gotei 13.
It seems that vice-captains like Hisagi don't know anyone from the 46th Chamber at all, and as for nobles, they only know the likes of Captain Kuchiki and Vice-Captain Shihouin, nobles who serve in the Gotei 13.
However, in their view, although Captain Kuchiki is the head of the ancient noble Kuchiki family, he is different from a "noble". In their eyes, he is just a "comrade-in-arms".
They also have a general idea of what "aristocrats" look like.
Therefore, when they saw the six judges at this time, they were also most surprised - wasn't it said that Room 46 was full of corrupt old men?
Look at Shifengyuan Yushiro, Awanmon Nayura, and Kasumioji Rurichiyo among the six judges...
Hisagi and Kirara were somewhat confused – could it be that they were recruiting new people in order to correct the previous corruption? But… wouldn’t that be an overreaction?
As for Yagyu Muneyasu, the only one who looked old, this leader...
The average height of the six people sitting on the judge's seat now is probably only about 1.5 meters!
However, the pressure on the two of them... or the "sense of oppression" is not small.
Although if it was a one-on-one duel, there would probably be no more than ten, or even no more than five, people present who could rival Hisagi and Kirara, but at this moment they represent the Forty-Sixth Chamber, the direct power core of the Soul Society and the direct supervisor of the Gotei 13.
As for the "Gold Seal Noble Council", in theory it is more of an organization that handles the internal affairs of the nobility. They can decide the affairs of the nobles in the Forty-six Chambers, but they cannot directly give orders to the subordinates of the Forty-six Chambers.
In response to the 46th's questioning, Hisagi replied: "I don't know. I haven't noticed anything. The captain has never asked me to do anything suspicious."
At this time, Hisagi Shuhei and Kira Izuru still missed their captain in their hearts, hoping that after understanding their motives in the future, they would be able to persuade them to come back. They even... maintained a bit of unrealistic expectation in their hearts, hoping that the captain was just an undercover agent beside Aizen!
"Isn't the relationship between your captain and vice-captain very close? How come you didn't notice anything?"
"Is Dong Xianyao still blind? If he wants to plan something, he must need someone's help."
"Haha, are you blind too?"
“Hisagi, your crime is the least serious at the moment. If you can provide any useful clues, we can show leniency!”
"Tousen Kaname usually has a close relationship with Komamura Sajin in addition to Aizen Sosuke and Ichimaru Gin, right? Have you discovered any secret conversations between the two?"
……
The six judges were still just sitting there leisurely, but the wise men around them had already made their virtuous voices.
Meanwhile, Hisagi Shuhei and Kira Izuru were still uneasy because their captain's defection had happened only two days ago. On the other hand, they were being interrogated intensively and were already a little anxious. They only felt that there were voices of accusation all around them. The captain they had trusted and relied on in the past was no longer there...
They were not like Shihouin Ichiryū and Ukitake Jushiro, who were of noble birth, nor were they like Yamamoto Shigekuni, who had a special status. Before entering the council hall, Hisagi and Kira had already been restrained by their Zanpakutō and subjected to the [Bindō], so the sages had no concerns.
Yushiro showed some uneasiness at this time, Rurichiyo was also a little hesitant, and Nayura looked at the "sages" around her and couldn't help frowning.
Of the three, only Nayura really wanted to do something, but...
Now Nayura increasingly understood what Yilong had said to her before - she originally thought that as long as she became an inquisitor, she could promote reforms, but... now that she has really become an inquisitor, Nayura only feels more powerless than before!
Meanwhile, Hisagi and Kirara, who were half-kneeling on the ground, were on the verge of collapse amidst the accusations and criticisms...
squeak-
The door of the council hall was pushed open at this time.
The sages fell silent instinctively, and then a tall figure walked in from the backlight. Hisagi and Kira only saw the back of the other person, wearing the ninth squad captain's haori, as he walked past the two of them and stood in front of the judge's seat.
It seemed to have blocked all the pressure from the surroundings.
“Captain?” Hisagi was surprised and thought he might be hallucinating.
Then I discovered that the captain did not have the familiar purple dreadlocks on his head, but a head of white hair!
