Chapter 23 The Next Day

"I found you the year after that." Byakuya Kuchiki continued in an extremely labored voice: "So I immediately connected you to the Kuchiki family. Just like Hijin's time, the people in the mansion thought that the Rukonghun It is against the rules for people from the street to mingle with nobles, and I object to it as it will lower the reputation of the Kuchiki family."

Kuchiki Rukia lowered her head silently. She seemed to understand what her elder brother had done in an instant.

Byakuya Kuchiki seemed to smile at this time and continued: "But I didn't listen to everyone's objections, because I wanted to fulfill the promise to Hijin no matter what."

Kuchiki Byakuya slowly moved his gaze to the sky, his extremely handsome face showing a hint of melancholy: "But it is a fact to break the rules, so I swear in front of my parents' graves, in order to remember myself, breaking the rules is For the last time, no matter what happens next, I will definitely implement the rules to the end."

Silence gradually returned to the Shuangji Hill. Byakuya Kuchiki himself did not realize that his low voice had reached everyone's ears through the last ray of sunset.

"Because I wanted to fulfill Feizhen's last wish, I made two oaths that could not exist at the same time. When your execution was confirmed, I became confused... Should I protect the code and abide by the oath to my parents? To protect my sister and keep the promise made to Feizhen, which one should I abide by..."

Rukia Kuchiki closed her eyes, feeling the weight of Byakuya Kuchiki's words.

"Rukia..." Kuchiki Byakuya turned his head slightly and stretched out his hand towards Rukia. The next moment, Rukia held it tightly in his hand, feeling the temperature in Kuchiki Byakuya's palm turning from cold to hot.

"I'm sorry..." Finally, Kuchiki Byakuya said in a weak voice.

Captain of the 5th Division, Aizen Mono Usuke, the Aizen that everyone knows, has always been a simple and warm-hearted captain. Behind the execution of Rukia Kuchiki and a series of battles, he is connected to the ritual ceremony of Soul Society. , trying to launch something sinister, Aizen was killed. Hinamori, as the deputy captain, believed from the letter left by Aizen that Captain Hitsugaya was the culprit.

That was all in Aizen's plan. Captain Aizen Mono Usuke, the captain of the fifth division, could not be forgiven.

Regarding Aizen's incident, what that guy wanted was a substance that could remove the barrier between Death and Hollow. In order to get this, he pretended to be dead, hid in the dark, and killed the Central Room 46. In order to facilitate himself , controlling Soul Society, however, the Bengyu was hidden in Rukia's body. Although Soul Society tried to stop him and fought Aizen, the Bengyu was still taken away, allowing him to escape to the Hollow. world,

Aizen's followers also included Captain Ichimaru Gin, and Su Yisanxi, the younger brother of the second division captain, Zaihou.

In addition, the captain of the seventh division, Tosen Kaname, who originally planned to follow Aizen's betrayal, was killed by Su Yi Sanxi in the woods. Su Yi took his place following Aizen.

This is the news that has been making headlines in Soul Society's newspapers lately.

One week after Aizen's betrayal.

Soul Society has returned to its former peace.

Inside the Fourth Division team building.

"Are you kidding? Who can eat such a terrible meal?" A strong man with an injured arm slammed his rice bowl on the ground in the corridor of the team building.

A member of the Fourth Division next to him hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "I'm sorry, but everyone here eats the same..."

"So, this isn't right." A grim reaper on crutches next to the strong man interjected, "We are wounded, how can we eat such unpalatable food?"

While the three of them were arguing, several members of the Fourth Squadron in the room next to them were lying on the doorstep, whispering.

"what happened……"

"It's Squadron 11..."

"Here we go again, those guys..."

At this time, the strong man in the corridor used his uninjured arm to step forward and grab the shinigami from the Fourth Division by the collar, and roared, "I said you, the Fourth Division..."

Before he finished speaking, a beautiful woman's hand patted his shoulder, followed by Unohana Retsu's extremely gentle voice: "What's wrong with my fourth division?"

Looking at the gentle and peaceful face of Captain Unohana Retsu, the two troublemaking Shinigami seemed to have seen ghosts, "Unohana Retsu... Captain... no... I'm sorry."

Captain Uzhihua put on a gentle smile: "It would be best to recover, but this is the emergency room. As long as you are here, your lives are all under our control. Please don't forget..."

"Uh...sorry...sorry." Before he could finish his words, the two shinigami who were looking for trouble quickly disappeared into the corridor.

Captain Unohana was left with a surprised expression on his face, muttering: "What, treating people like monsters."

…

The team building of the 11th Division, a room specially designed for team members to fight.

"Ah..." A god of death wearing a black death uniform suddenly flew out of the door and window and fell heavily on the grass outside.

In the room, the shirtless Madarame put his wooden sword on his shoulder and sighed: "Okay! Next one!"

Among the Death Gods surrounding the room, no one dared to answer.

"No one's coming, you cowards!"

This is the daily practice time for the team members, and the atmosphere can be seen as lively.

On the outskirts of Jing Ling Ting, at the grave of Captain Dongxian Yao.

The captain of the seventh division, Komamura Zuozhen, stood quietly among the grass.

"Tōsen...is this what we call justice? Why do you want to be the God of Death?" Captain Komamura stared far away.

Looking at it, my eyes felt a dull pain.

There were footsteps in the distance, and not long after, Hisagi Shuhei, the deputy captain of Division 9, was standing beside him.

"Captain Komamura, Captain Tosen wants to be betrayed, is it true?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't let Dong Xian wake up in time, but I had Su Yi kill him before he did such a humble thing."

The breeze blew across the grass, blew past Hisagi's scarred cheek, and then blew towards the forest. The leaves on the treetops are whispering, and the barking of the dog is coming from far and near, as if it is coming from the entrance to another world.

Otherwise everything was completely silent. ..
