"This man."
Unohana Retsu's eyes stayed on Kimura Muyang in front of him. This man's body seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making it impossible to truly see his heart. Just like his choice a hundred years ago, this man Everything about a man is like a mystery.
"Captain Unohana."
Just when Uozhihua Lie was distracted, Kimura Muyang suddenly slowed down, fell a few positions behind, and walked side by side with Uozhihua Lie.
"What?"
Awakened from his thoughts by Kimura Muyang's voice, Unohana Retsu turned to look at the man beside him, with a trace of questioning in his eyes.
"After Aizen's 'death', you were the one who kept in contact with his 'body', right?"
Hearing the words 'death' and 'corpse' in Kimura Muyang's accentuated tone, Unohana Retsu's brows wrinkled slightly. Listening to Kimura Muyang's words, it seemed that there was some secret between them.
Although there was some doubt in his heart, Uozhihua Lie still answered: "Yes."
"Then Captain Unohana, did you notice anything unusual?"
Hearing Kimura Muyang's question, Unohana Retsu paused slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. When he inspected Captain Aizen's body, he did notice something unusual, but Kimura Muyang Why would he ask that? Because there is no definite evidence, he has never told anyone. Even Yongyin doesn't know the doubts he has buried deep in his heart.
Although Unohana Retsu concealed her emotional fluctuations very well, Kimura Muyang was still keenly aware of her emotional fluctuations at that moment.
"As expected of Captain Unohana, as the person who has been in contact with Aizen's 'corpse' for the longest time, he can still detect the slightest incongruity."
"You mean"
Unohana Retsu suddenly stopped and looked at Kimura Muyang standing beside him. His face gradually became serious. The guess in his heart that had been suppressed gradually resurfaced. At the same time, it also rose. There is a sense of tension. If my guess is really correct, then something is really wrong.
"Let's go, the truth is ahead."
Turning his head and glancing at Unohana Retsu, who was standing still, Kimura Muyang stepped forward and rushed forward again, and the direction he was heading towards was clearly the Central Underground Council Hall.
"Soul Society is going to change!"
He looked up at the calm sky, but Unohana Retsu felt that there was a turbulent undercurrent hidden under the calmness. If he were not careful, the entire Soul Society would be severely hit.

"Aizen.!!?"
Hitsugaya Toshiro, who hurried back, looked at the person in front of him with shock. That familiar face was none other than the 'dead' Aizen.
"Hi, Hitsugaya."
Seeing the panting Hitsugaya Toshiro, Aizen smiled and said hello to him.
"What's going on? Are you really Aizen?"
"Of course, you saw it all, didn't you? It's true. But no matter what, you came back earlier than I predicted, Captain Hitsugaya."
"I'm sorry, it seems Izuru didn't delay long enough."
Ichimaru Gin, who was standing behind Aizen, smiled and apologized after hearing Aizen's words, but there was no hint of embarrassment in the iconic smile on his face and his joking tone.
"What!? What on earth are you talking about?"
Hitsugaya Toshiro just felt that his brain was a little insufficient. Originally, in his judgment, Aizen and Ichimaru Gin were enemies, and the person who killed Aizen was also Ichimaru Gin, but now looking at the performance of these two people , it really doesn’t look like an enemy, but more like a companion.
No! wrong! To be more precise, it should be the relationship between subordinates and superiors!
"What are you talking about? This is just a simple tactical application. Isn't dispersing the enemy's combat power the basis of tactics?"
"You said 'enemy'!!"
Hearing the word 'enemy' from Aizen's mouth, Toshiro no longer had any doubts in his heart. From the beginning, they were fooled by Aizen. All of this was just a joint performance by Aizen and Ichimaru. It's just a play.
"Where is Hinamori!!?"
Hinamori's face suddenly flashed in his mind, and an unpleasant feeling suddenly arose in Toshiro's heart. Since Aizen is an enemy, then Hinamori, she
His eyes stopped on the door behind Aizen and Ichimaru. Toshiro keenly felt a weak spiritual pressure from behind the door, and an indescribable sense of panic suddenly arose in his heart.
With a movement of his feet, Toshiro's body instantly appeared behind the door.
boom! !
Seeing Hinamori lying in a pool of blood, Hitsugaya felt like he was struck by lightning. At that moment, he seemed to feel that his entire sky had collapsed.
"It's such a pity that he discovered it."
Ichimaru Gin turned slightly and said, but there was no trace of regret in his tone.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I should have chopped her into pieces, at least not letting you find out."
Seeing Hitsugaya's shocked look, Aizen continued to speak without any hesitation. First, suppress the enemy psychologically. This was his favorite way.
"What's going on? Aizen, Ichimaru. When did you start colluding?"
"That's right from the beginning."
"Before you pretend to be dead? Aizen."
"How come you still don't understand? I mean from the very beginning, ever since I became the captain, except for him, I have never thought about letting anyone else be my vice-captain."
"So, until now, not only Hinamori, but also me, your subordinates, and all the other Shinigami, have been deceived by you, right?"
Turning his head and looking at the unfamiliar Aizen not far away, Hitsugaya Toshiro gritted his teeth and said.
"Actually, I don't want to lie to anyone, but none of you can understand what I really look like."
"You mean we can't understand?"
Hitsugaya Toshiro looked at Aizen in front of him, the person who had appeared in front of him for so long as a kind-hearted senior, and the anger in his heart surged up one after another.
"You should know very well that Hinamori admires you very much. She joined the Gotei 13 because of her admiration. In order to help you, she worked very hard and finally became the vice-captain."
"Of course I know that nothing is easier to manipulate than someone who admires you. That's why I chose her to be my subordinate."
"ah"
Hitsugaya looked at Aizen in disbelief. All the hope he had in his heart disappeared. Is this guy really Aizen? Completely different from the person he knew before. Is this who he really is
"Now is a good opportunity. There is something you have to remember, Hitsugaya. Admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding."
boom! ! !
After hearing Aizen's words, Hitsugaya Toshiro could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and suddenly drew his Zanpakuto from behind.
"Swastika!! Daiguren Hyōrinmaru."
A powerful spiritual pressure suddenly rose, and a cold air spread from Toshiro's side, as if it was going to freeze everything.
"Aizen, I'm going to kill you now!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro held his Zanpakutō and looked at Aizen across from him with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Don't speak too loudly, it will only make you look weaker."
Aizen said with a half-smile when he heard Toshiro talking nonsense in front of him. Although he has the title of genius on his head, no one who can reach the level of captain is not a genius. Hitsugaya Toshiro is still too immature after all, both mentally and physically.
Hearing Aizen's ridicule to him, Toshiro's face tightened, he held the knife in both hands and swung it down suddenly. He is also the captain, but Aizen dares to be so arrogant when faced with his post-Swastika self. He is so arrogant!
Uh-huh!
Phew~
"No way!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro only saw a blur of flowers in front of his eyes, and then blood spattered and his body fell to the ground weakly.
"The view is nice."
Aizen waved his hand and shook off the blood on his Zanpakutō, then slowly sheathed the sword.
“Although the season is not yet here, it’s not bad to see ice at this time.”
"Then let's go, Silver."
After dealing with Hitsugaya Toshiro, Aizen said to Ichimaru Gin in a relaxed tone. Although Hitsugaya Toshiro's strength is insignificant to him, but as he said before, dispersing the enemy's combat power is the basis of tactics. If the captains of the Gotei 13 team take action together, it will not be enough for his plan. It's really a bit troublesome.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Aizen, who was about to move, stopped and turned his eyes in the direction of the door. The usual relaxed look on his face disappeared. Instead, he showed a rare look of solemnity. It was obvious that even he would feel the identity of the visitor. A bit afraid.
"It's rare today to meet an old friend. What advice can you give me, Mr. Kimura?"
"I really don't deserve the advice. Aizen, you are so kind."
Kimura Muyang looked at Aizen in front of him with a bright smile on his face. Although he did not see a look of surprise on Aizen's face, Kimura Muyang still felt a sense of comfort in his heart. After so long, he could finally put it together today. The grievances I had held in for so many years came out.
"You are indeed here, Aizen!"
Unohana Retsu, who was following Kimura Muyang, looked at Aizen who was not far away and said in a deep voice. His face looked a bit gloomy. He didn't expect that this person actually put on a show and brought everyone in the Soul Society to his knees. All played with applause.
Aizen looked at the two people opposite and said softly: "Captain Unohana, I'm not surprised that you can guess this. I was still thinking that if you came, it would be almost time to arrive. But I didn't expect that Kimura Sir, you actually appeared with Captain Unohana, when did you start to get involved in this matter?"
"Oh? You're so smart, you might as well guess."
