Chapter 205 Talk about your whereabouts
"Student Aize."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni opened his wrinkled eyes and looked at Aize, who remained calm in front of so many captains, and his voice sounded slowly and heavy.
"Do you know why I came to you this time?"
The tone sounded like he was calling for justice, with a sense of authority without even being angry.
Unfortunately, Aize was not scared.
"Is it because of the actual combat training?"
Aize responded calmly.
"That's right." A hint of subtle admiration flashed across Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's eyes, and he immediately said, "We already have a general understanding of the whole story, but we still need to hear your description as the person involved."
"This accident is of great importance. It not only involves the safety of many students, but also involves many anomalies that have not been sorted out."
"Not only were you involved in the accident, but you also turned the tide on your own after it happened."
"So, report everything you know. We need to know more details."
Obviously, there were too many abnormalities involved in this accident, forcing the Gotei 13 to take it seriously, so much so that Aize himself was called in for questioning, and even the captains of almost all the squads were present.
Aize glanced at Aizen Sosuke, who had a gentle expression on his face, and then nodded.
"In that case, I'll tell you what I know."
As he spoke, Aize elaborated on what he had experienced during this actual combat training.
Of course, it is a renovated version.
After all, he couldn't possibly confess that he knew the plot of the original novel and that there would be accidents during this actual combat training, so he was prepared.
He portrayed himself as an ordinary student who was undergoing normal combat training with his classmates. Since there was one person vacant in the class and they could not form a team, he volunteered and chose to act alone. After that, he had been hunting simulated hollows in the combat training ground in an orderly manner. It was not until he found that the spiritual pressure of the sixth graders suddenly became much weaker that he realized something was wrong. After going to the destination to investigate the situation, he discovered that the students had been attacked.
Aize also completely evaded the matter of healing the injuries of those dying sixth graders. He only said that he used some ghostly abilities to temporarily save their lives, and then went to another place to find the source of the abnormality.
After that, they encountered a giant Hollow that attacked Abarai Renji and others. After dealing with all those giant Hollows, they encountered a Subarucas-class Hollow. After dealing with that Subarucas-class Hollow, the people from the Fifth Division rushed to the scene and intervened in this accident.
In short, Aize completely denied himself the credit for being a foresighted person, but told all the other things openly without hiding anything.
The captains were either not interested or listened attentively, including Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who did not interrupt once until Aize finished narrating the whole process. Only then did some of them frown and some looked thoughtful.
"A Hollow that can't sense spiritual pressure?" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said slowly: "Captain Aizen, is what the student Aize said true?"
"It is indeed true." Aizen Sosuke pushed up his glasses and said, "All the Hollows we met at the scene could not sense spiritual pressure at all. It seems that it is not because they have no spiritual pressure, but because those Hollows have some ability to hide their spiritual pressure."
As soon as these words were spoken, the captain wearing a white haori with the number "Twelve" spoke.
“This is really interesting.”
The person who spoke was a man with yellow eyes, a black and white mask on his face, a black kimono with an turned-down dark purple collar under a white haori, and a strange headdress on his head. The two hands that stretched out from his sleeves were sickly pale, and the middle finger of his right hand had particularly long nails.
"A Hollow that can hide its spiritual pressure, this type of experimental subject has never appeared in my research institute. Is it a new species that evolved naturally? Or is it a mutant that has mutated due to some unknown factors? It is really interesting!"
This person then spoke in a sharp voice, saying something that made people feel uncomfortable.
Because his words did not show any concern for the possible casualties caused by the accident itself, but only interest and curiosity about the so-called experimental subjects.
"Captain of the 12th Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni spoke without looking away.
"The Technology Development Bureau still hasn't detected any abnormalities?"
The Technology Development Bureau is an organization under the jurisdiction of the 12th Division. It is the development and research department of new technologies and new spiritual tools. All members of the bureau are extremely talented people. To put it simply, it is the research institute to which the researchers of Soul Society are affiliated.
The Technology Development Bureau also has the Communications Technology Research Division and the Radio Wave Measurement Research Division under its jurisdiction. Therefore, the Technology Development Bureau has equipment specifically designed to measure and monitor spiritual waves, spiritual power, and spiritual pressure. It can capture and monitor Shinigami and Hollows active in the real world or Soul Society, and can be said to be the eyes and ears of the Gotei 13.
During this internship, the teachers of the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy looked after the students in this way in the Technology Development Bureau. Who would have thought that such a big accident would occur in the middle of the internship.
This was undoubtedly a gaffe by the Technology Development Agency.
"No." Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not seem to feel guilty at all. He tilted his head and said, "Both the communication and the monitoring were cut off during that period. Although we have tried to trace the source, we still can't find any clues."
"I would like to say this was just an accident, but saying so would seem to cast doubt on the professionalism of the Technology Development Bureau."
"So, although I have no interest in it, I will still continue to track the source. But please don't hold your hopes too high, because the other party's tail is still cut off quite cleanly."
The implication of these words is actually to tell everyone that as the captain of the 12th Division, the director of the Technical Development Bureau, and also the most outstanding research expert in Soul Society, Kurotsuchi Mayuri believes that there are human factors involved and this is not an accidental accident.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi even thought that the reason those Hollows were able to hide their spiritual pressure might be because they had been modified by someone.
But who has this technology and ability?
...Could it be that hateful guy?
The image of a person flashed through Kuroshio Mayuri's mind.
"Then what about the Second Division and the Eighth Division?" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni seemed to have gotten used to Kurotsuchi Mayuri's style. He didn't say anything about his vicious remarks, but just quietly asked, "The results of the investigation should have come out, right?"
Hearing this, the man wearing the second squad captain's haori and the man wearing the eighth squad captain's haori started talking.
"…Our people discovered that the barrier at the scene had signs of being opened. Those signs did not seem to be left by a violent breach. If a Hollow had violently breached the barrier, the sixth-year students of the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts would have noticed it."
The person who spoke was the captain of the second division, the commander of the secret mobile corps, Soi Fong.
She has short hair with bangs and a ring snake braid. She is petite and wears a halter-neck, backless outfit with a white feather. There is white cloth wrapped around her chest, back and legs, and her arms are covered with black long sleeves.
Although she is a lovely girl, her expression is quite cold and her tone is also very icy, giving people a feeling of being unkind.
"The Shinigami on our team also carefully consulted those students in the hospital. They all claimed that they did not notice anything unusual before the incident. This included the sixth graders in the barrier class. They didn't even know that the barrier was opened before they were attacked. They had no idea how those Hollows appeared."
The next person to speak was the captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui.
He was a middle-aged man with brown, slightly curly medium-length hair tied into a ponytail, two fancy hairpins on his head, a white haori and a pink haori jacket embroidered with floral patterns, a straw raincoat on his head, and a slight beard on his chin.
This person's tone was in stark contrast to Soi-Fong's. He sounded a bit sloppy and lazy, not at all like the head of an intelligence team that specialized in intelligence.
Only Aize knew that this seemingly unreliable guy was actually the top one among all the captains and one of the most experienced captains besides the captains of the First and Fourth Divisions.
Although the other party was deliberately restraining himself, Aize still sensed that he was hiding a huge spiritual pressure. Conservatively estimated, it was not inferior to his own. It was definitely second-class spiritual power, or even more.
“Boom!”
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slammed the wooden staff heavily, and the spiritual pressure emanating from his body became even more terrifying.
"In other words, this is not only an obvious man-made incident, but also the Gotei 13 and I have not been able to find the culprit yet. We can only be played by the other party, right?"
There was already anger in these words.
All of a sudden, all the captains lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"Continue investigating." Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said coldly, "You are attacking a group of little brats. These scoundrels are not qualified to challenge the majesty of the Gotei 13."
"Make this a top priority. All teams must cooperate with each other and find the culprit in the shortest possible time."
"Did you understand everything?"
The captain-in-chief had spoken, and the other captains naturally dared not disobey. Even if they disagreed in their hearts, they still agreed on the surface and took on the task.
Aize listened silently without saying a word.
He naturally knew who the culprit was, but there was no point in telling him.
Because the other party has plenty of ways to pass the buck. If they can't do this, they won't be able to make the entire Gotei 13 run around in circles in the future.
In this case, Aize would not show anything so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
But the captains gathered here this time, obviously not just for this accident.
"Student Aize."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stared at Aize again and said something.
"Your strength has exceeded everyone's expectations. Now it's time to talk about your future."
