In Soul Society, I just want to retire

"Okay, okay, since you think this is not a big deal, I won't say anything. Remember what you said today." Hirako Mako slammed the door and left.

Yamabuki Ditang looked at Pingzi's back and sighed slightly. This kid's intuition is really sharp.

He is worthy of being the first person to discover that there is something wrong with Aizen.

After leaving Yamabuki Ditang's office, Pingzi felt very depressed. It was not a pleasant feeling to be kept in the dark.

But he is a very curious person. The more you hide things from him, the more he wants to know the truth.

"I wonder if the attack on the General Staff Headquarters last night and Aizen's departure with the prisoners can be connected!" Mako Hirako muttered to herself.

But whether Aizen took the prisoners away is still unknown, because when he dared to go to the prison, he found that the two prisoners were lying obediently in the prison without moving.

The prison guards could also testify that no one came to the prison that night and no prisoners went out.

There are witnesses from both senior and junior staff, and no one will believe him based on his one-sided statement.

"Wait, I remember the person on duty at the General Staff Headquarters that night should be Kuchiki Hibiki. Does he know the truth?" Hirako Mako seemed to have found a breakthrough.

Then he rushed to Kuchiki's house without stopping.

Kuchiki Hibiki happens to be on vacation today, so he stays at home and spends time with his wife.

Hearing someone looking for him outside the door, Kuchiki Xianghe was a little curious. He probably didn't have any close friends, so who would come to see him at this time?

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the smiling face of Mako Hirako.

"Captain Hirako? Why did you come to see me? Are you here to see my father-in-law?" asked Kuchiki Hibiki.

"No, I came to see you and brought you some gifts." Mako Hirako smiled and took out her gift and put it in his hand.

Xiumu Xianghe guessed in an instant that the other party must have something to ask of him. As the saying goes, one does not visit a temple for no reason. So it was all about what happened last night?

"Well... I appreciate Captain Hirako's kindness, but I won't accept the gift. If someone sees it, they might complain about me. You know the rules of our General Staff!" Kuchiki Xianghe said with a smile on his face.

After being in the upper echelons for so long, who wouldn't know how to practice Tai Chi?

Mako Hirako stretched her neck and leaned in: "How about we go inside and talk? I really have something I want to ask you!"

Kuchiki Hibiki has made all the preparations.

But Mako Hirako didn't ask directly, but talked about a bunch of other messy things. Kuchiki Hibiki knew that the other party must have a killer move, so he just asked irrelevant questions and made irrelevant comments.

Hirako Mako's eyebrows twitched wildly. This kid has learned his lesson!

That’s right, there’s no way to learn anything good from that old bastard Yamabuki Ditang.

"Ahem, let's put it this way. I want to know what happened last night?" Hirako Mako could only get straight to the point.

Kuchiki Hibiki showed a look of astonishment. "Captain Hirako, didn't he know? It was a gas explosion. Look at my memory. I forgot to turn off the gas when I left, and it exploded accidentally! I'm now being punished with confinement and a large sum of money."

"Children don't believe these words, you might as well try to fool a ghost! Tell me honestly, what happened last night? Were you attacked? Who attacked you? Why did Yamabuki Detang keep her mouth shut?" Hirako Mako pressed forward with her upper body, slightly releasing her spiritual pressure, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Kuchiki Hibiki had not yet reached the captain level at this time, and seemed a little uneasy in front of Hirako Mako.

"Captain Hirako, how come you have time to come to my house?"

At this moment, an old man's voice came from behind Xiumu Xianghe. The two looked up and saw that it was Xiumu Yinling who appeared here.

"It's the old man! Nothing, just chatting." Hirako Mako felt something was wrong. "I just have some doubts about the gas explosion last night, so I came to ask about it today."

"Is that so! Xianghe, you must answer truthfully." Xiumu Yinling said neither lightly nor heavily.

With his father-in-law's support, Xiumu Xianghe suddenly felt no pressure at all.

"Captain Hirako, you are actually worrying too much. Last night was really a very popular night. Many people can testify to this. I know you are worried about the safety of Soul Society, but there is no need to waste your energy on such trivial matters." Kuchiki Hibiki said respectfully.

Mako Hirako knew that once Kuchiki Ginrin appeared, she would lose all her chances.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye!" Hirako Mako laughed and turned to leave.

As soon as they left the Kuchiki family, Hirako's expression suddenly changed.

"These bastards! Not a single word of theirs is true!"

Chapter 201: Curiosity not only kills the cat

Mako Hirako was so worried that even the person involved was unwilling to say more, and all the clues were cut off at this point.

What on earth were these bastards hiding? The thought of having a secret right in front of him and being unable to explore it, only to be tortured by his curiosity, was truly unbearable. For an ordinary person, this matter would have been over in a few days, but Hirako Mako was different.

That would be more painful than stabbing him directly.

Looking at the clear blue sky, Pingzi murmured to himself: "I hope this world will be destroyed soon!"

"It's better if the world doesn't end!"

A man's voice reached Pingzi's ears, and it sounded a little familiar. Pingzi looked down and saw a blond man standing in front of him.

"You are... We have met at the celebration before, right? What's your name? I can't remember it!" Hirako Mako scratched his head. He didn't mean to do that, he really couldn't remember this brother's name.

"My name is Fengqiao Loujuro, and I am currently a student at Maou Spiritual Academy." Fengqiao Loujuro introduced himself.

Hirako stared at the foreign man in front of him and narrowed his eyes. The spiritual pressure of this man in front of him was at least at the vice-captain level. He was just an ordinary apprentice Shinigami. It was really rare!

"You came to see me specially, do you have something to say to me? Let me tell you, I'm in a very bad mood right now." Hirako Mako said staggeringly.

Fengqiao Lou Julang said calmly: "I know what's bothering you. I'll take you to a place. After you get there... maybe you'll be even more upset."

"Ah? What do you mean by this?" Mako Hirako looked at the Western man in front of her with a greeting.

Fengqiao Loujuro turned and walked away without saying a word. Perhaps the journey was too boring, Fengqiao Loujuro even took out his guitar and played a little tune. Pingzi Mako sneered, "You underestimate me too much, don't you? Am I the kind of person who is very curious?"

Half an hour later, Fengqiao Loujuro arrived at the place where he met Aizen yesterday.

And Mako Hirako just followed behind Fengqiao Loujuro obediently. Yes, I am a man with such a strong curiosity, otherwise I would not have followed him until now.

"So, why did you bring me here?" Hirako Mako looked at Fengqiao Loujuro helplessly.

"There is something wrong with this place. You said yesterday that Aizen Sosuke was patrolling with two Shinigami from the Sixth Division, but when I met him here, Aizen Sosuke was alone and didn't see any other Shinigami. Also, when I was about to approach this area, Aizen Sosuke exuded a murderous aura." Fengqiao Loujuro said in a deep voice.

Mako Hirako suddenly thought that she could go find the two Shinigami who patrolled with Aizen last night!

If those two Shinigami also confirmed that they were patrolling with Aizen last night, then there would be no problem.

Then there is this area in front of us, what could be wrong with it!

Without waiting for Hirako Mako to speak, Fengqiao Loujuro had already taken a step forward to investigate.

Pingzi had no choice but to follow the other person. This was a small village that looked very ordinary, surrounded by farmland. There was an ancient well in the center of the village. There were no more than a hundred people in the village in total. The two of them searched carefully but found nothing.

"Are you sure your feeling is correct? Are you sure there is something here?" Hirako Mako was so tired that he was out of breath and sat on the ground to rest.

The two of them searched every blade of grass and every tree for a whole day. Hirako didn't want to move at all. Looking at the sunset in the sky, Hirako Mako even began to doubt whether he was too neurotic. There was nothing wrong in the first place, and it was all because he was too worried.

Fengqiao Loujuro sat next to Hirako Mako and whispered, "That's impossible! When I was about to approach here, Aizen Sosuke was clearly resisting. How come there is nothing?"

"Is there any place you haven't checked?" Fengqiao Lou Juro asked.

Hirako Mako weakly pointed at the well in the distance. "If there's one place we haven't checked, it's that! You don't really think there's something under that well, do you?"

Fengqiao Loujuro stood up and walked towards the well: "How can we know if there is no water if we don't try?"

As he said that, Fengqiao Lou Juro actually jumped directly to the bottom of the well.

A moment later, Fengqiaolou Juro came up like a drowned rat. One could tell from his expression that he hadn't discovered anything.

"No, when Aizen was talking to me, his body was dry, which means we were not necessarily in the well." Fengqiao Loujuro jumped into the bottom of the well again.

This time, he didn't come up for a long time, and Hirako Makoto was not worried about him. If a strong man at the vice-captain level drowned at the bottom of the well, it would be the biggest joke of this century.

Twenty minutes later, Fengqiao Lou Julang climbed out from the bottom of the well with a serious expression on his face.

"You'd better come and see what I found?" Fengqiao Lou Juro said with a serious expression.

But now it was dark, and Makoto Hirako couldn't see the expression on Fengqiao Loujuro's face clearly.

"The entrance is not at the bottom of the well, but on the wall. I said there must be something here." After Fengqiao Lou Julang came to the bottom of the well, he pressed hard on the wall of the well, and a secret door appeared.

Hirako Mako's face turned serious. No way! Could it be that I guessed it right?

Behind the secret door was a very long tunnel. The two people walked carefully to the end of the tunnel, and a huge space suddenly appeared in front of them.

Although it is underground, the empty scene is very spacious and bright. There are suspended ceilings above the head, but they are covered with dust and look like they are very old.

"What is this place?" Fengqiao Lou Juro asked in a deep voice.

Mako Hirako noticed a badge on the door and reached out to gently wipe away the dust. "This should be the badge of the Tsunayashiro family! So, this is where the Tsunayashiro family conducted their experiments."

When the Tsunayashiro family was destroyed, Hirako Mako had not yet been born, but after becoming the captain, she heard some rumors that the Tsunayashiro family was guilty of intending to overthrow the Soul King, and was directly captured by the Gotei 13.

The person who led this matter at that time was...

"Yamabuki Deitō! No wonder the old guy has been keeping it a secret. Could the attack on the General Staff be related to this incident hundreds of years ago? It seems that the remnants of the Tsunayashiro family wanted to overthrow Soul Society a few months ago!" Hirako Mako muttered to herself.

This underground space is extremely huge, and you can tell at a glance that it cannot be completed by one person.

So what is the relationship between this area and Aizen?

Hirako Mako became even more curious.

Chapter 202: Swastika, the Evil Eight Treasures Plug

Now Mako Hirako is increasingly convinced that the mastermind behind all this might be Yamabuki Detang.

Yamabuki Detang was inexplicably blamed. This underground space was extremely huge, and it would take more than a day to explore it all. The two of them could only choose to look at the important things.

Fengqiao Loujuro said, "It looks like no one has been here for a long time. The dust is very thick, and the experimental equipment here has not been started for a long time."

"Of course. The Gotei 13 moved everything away from here and left nothing behind. But I don't understand why Aizen is guarding such a laboratory that has been abandoned for many years." Hirako is now becoming more and more confused.

The underground laboratory is divided into four huge areas. The first is the experimental area. There should have been a lot of experimental equipment here in the past, but now these experimental equipment have not been used for hundreds of years and should no longer be usable.

The second is the residential area, which should have been where the experimenters lived.

The third area is the miscellaneous area, which is filled with useless items. The useful things were taken away hundreds of years ago.

Then comes the final experimental area, which is filled with iron cages that appear to be used to store living creatures.

There were dried bloodstains on the ground, which made Pingzi shudder.

But other than that, there was nothing else. Hirako really couldn't understand why Aizen wanted to protect this place.

Fengqiao Lou Julang brushed the dried blood on the ground with his hand and muttered to himself, "Although it looks like it has been dried for a long time, it doesn't look like a trace from hundreds of years ago. Hundreds of years of blood should have disappeared long ago, right?"

The two men were talking when the light above their heads suddenly flickered. They looked up hurriedly and found that it was just a normal equipment failure.

It is normal for something that is hundreds of years old to malfunction. It would be very strange if there were no malfunctions at all.

"Bang!" A light in the distance went out completely, and about one-tenth of the area fell into darkness.

Neither Hirako Mako nor Fengqiao Loujuro noticed that in the depths of the darkness, a pair of eyes were staring at them.

It was Aizen Sosuke.

"Alas! Captain Hirako, why don't you just pretend that nothing happened? Why don't you continue to be the captain? Why do you have to dig into this? Why do you have to force me?" Aizen sighed. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to take action against a captain-level figure now.

Aizen was not the only one in the darkness. A masked god of death was standing there with a knife in his hand, but he would not move without Aizen's order, just like a dead man.

This is exactly the Grim Reaper who turned into a hollow last night.

"It's not easy to let you losers kill a captain, but try to get as much information as possible." Aizen said to the Hollow Shinigami in the darkness.

White masks appeared one after another. In the darkness, there was more than just one virtual death god, but densely packed, at least dozens of people standing here wearing white masks.

He has used Kagami Suigetsu to prove his alibi. Now "Aizen" is drinking with Kyoraku Shunsui in the Eighth Division. With the veteran captain as a witness, he can rest assured.

"kill!"

At Aizen's command, these Hollow Shinigami emerged from the darkness, Zanpakuto in hand, and rushed towards Makoto Hirako.

Before Mako Hirako realized that danger was approaching, a Hollow Shinigami had already appeared silently behind him. Because the spiritual pressure of these Hollow Shinigami was too ethereal, Hirako was unable to detect it.

In the darkness, murderous intent was lurking everywhere. A knife approached Hirako Mako silently. Suddenly, a golden light rolled towards Hirako.

Pingzi dodged in a hurry and looked up to see that the person attacking him was Fengqiao Loujuro.

"Are you out of your mind? Why are you suddenly attacking me?" Pingzi was horrified. Could it be that this apprentice Shinigami was the mastermind behind all this?

But the next second, Pingzi heard the sound of metal colliding. Looking back, he saw a man wearing a strange mask chopping at him with a knife, and a golden whip wrapped around the man's knife.

"What is this?" Hirako Mako frowned, and an ominous aura came.

Afterwards, more and more monsters appeared in the darkness. Mako Hirako looked carefully at the monsters in front of her. They all held Zanpakuto in their hands and wore Shinigami costumes. In other words, these people were all gods of death, but they had Hollow masks on their faces.
