The discussion regarding the 12th Division Captain temporarily came to an end.
Tokikaze and Soifon walked out of the meeting room together. They were the last ones that remained in the room after Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni reminded them of some relevant matters.
While the rules of the Soul Society were strict, there were still considerable loopholes. Individuals like Tsunayashiro Tokinada, for example, were malicious and cunning. Even if he were an ordinary Soul Reaper or a lower-ranking noble, he would find it difficult to escape the judgment of the Central 46 Chambers Chambers.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's actions were on the edge of the regulations, and the records in the 9th Division files showed that he had engaged in dangerous experiments, resulting in the death of 32 Soul Reapers and the severe injury of 14 others.
In theory, such a major incident should have attracted the attention of the Central 46 Chambers. Mayuri Kurotsuchi, being the primary person in charge, should have faced punishment even if she had not committed a major offense.
However, in reality, neither the Central 46 Chambers nor the 1st Division had issued any relevant orders. Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who was still under observation, had not faced any consequences and continued his experiments freely.
In fact, based on the data provided by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the success rate of that experiment was as high as 97%. However, due to an unfortunate mistake made by someone else, an explosion occurred, releasing toxic gas that engulfed nearly half of the researchers present.
In a normal experiment, Mayuri Kurotsuchi did nothing wrong, and at a crucial moment, he even released her Zanpakuto, using poison to protect the remaining researchers.
For Tokikaze, the whole incident seemed suspicious.
In the corridor outside the 1st Division's meeting room, Tokikaze and Soifon, both left behind, looked at each other with some disagreement.
"This matter should be primarily handled by the 2nd Division," Soifon broke the silence, her face serious. "Be it stealth techniques or intelligence gathering, the professional qualities of the 2nd Division members far surpass those of the 9th Division. If you don't mind sacrificing your subordinates, be my guest."
Tokikaze waved his hand, dismissively saying, "I won't send any of my subordinates to investigate the 12th Division."
The looks exchanged between Soifon and Tokikaze carried an air of disagreement.
Tokikaze maintained a calm demeanor, "I won't send any of my subordinates to investigate the 12th Division."
"If this person is as dangerous as you say, then he shouldn't be allowed to become a Captain."
Soifon stood still, looking at Tokikaze's back, her eyes mysterious, "For the three-month observation period, I will keep a close eye on him. If he makes any dangerous moves, I will immediately imprison him in the Nest of Maggots."
"But before that, I have a question."
"What is it?"
"The Shihoin Secret Shunpo Technique given to you by the Tsunayashiro Clan... was it taught to you by that criminal!?"
Tokikaze paused, not looking back, and said, 'What does it have to do with you, Captain Soifon?'
"Be it the Tsunayashiro Clan or Yoruichi Clan, is it worth drawing your sword against me for a mere Yoruichi Clan secret Shunpo?"
Hearing these words, Soifon clenched her teeth, her expression showing a hint of ferocity.
As a professional interrogator, she could judge from Tokikaze's words and actions that this matter was definitely not as simple as it appeared.
"Alright, let's stop here."
Tokikaze said indifferently, 'I'm going to Rukongai to have a drink. What about it, are you coming too?"
Facing Tokikaze's invitation, Soifon responded with a cold snort, blinked, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
This matter will not end easily.
She will investigate anything related to Yoruichi Shihoin to the end; she wants to personally arrest that criminal!
...
North Rukongai, 36th district.
A secret underground research base.
Complex and precise instruments are neatly arranged on the clean and dust-free floor, a figure shuttles between various instruments.
Whether observing unknown living organisms in cultivation dishes, performing data calculations, or tapping the keyboard at an extremely fast speed.
The Captain haori with the word 'Three' occasionally fluttered.
"Oh, this time the toxicity of the Hollowfication is still somewhat excessive."
Ichimaru Gin stands in front of a massive container, hands close to the glass, carefully observing the disappearing souls inside: "Captain Aizen, the experiment failed."
As he spoke, another figure walked out of the corner of the research room.
"Be patient, Gin."
In a gentle tone full of unrushed meaning, Aizen Sosuke calmly watched the tiny bubbles rising in the container: 'The Hollowfication experiments are always full of surprises."
Ichimaru Gin smiled, his eyes squinting deeply, like a fox smiling.
"However, there have been too many recent accidents lately"'
"The mutation of that Adjuchas in Sakahone, the death of Tsunayashiro Tokinada, and the incident with Ichibei Tatsumi..."
"It seems that every incident involves the same person."
Hearing these words, Aizen's expression remained unchanged, calm as the boundless sky.
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, Captain Tokikaze plays an indispensable role in the progress of the history of Soul Society. His actions have left an impression on the Great Archive."
"But everything is still within our control, isn't it?"
Ichimaru Gin smiled and nodded in response, "Captain Aizen's confidence is as unwavering as ever; that is truly something to be grateful for.'
"In that case, I'm ready to set off."
As he spoke, he activated the buttons on the instrument, and the clean and tidy floor separated at the center, a portal slowly rising.
With the appearance of light, a faint light screen appeared on the portal.
The portal to the Human World.
"See you later, Captain Aizen."
Ichimaru Gin waved his hand, and walked straight into it.
When the portal opened again, the density of Reishi in the air had become extremely thin.
Human World, Karakura Town.
A figure walked slowly in the sky, overlooking the incongruent cityscape below and the world of Soul Society.
Ichimaru Gin sighed after a moment of contemplation, pretending to be thoughtful, muttering to himself:
'If I remember correctly, it should be in the northern direction, right?'
