Chapter 163 162: Necessary Social Interaction

Captain campaign.

The essence of its behavior is usually to provide a fair and equal platform for competition between two parties who are qualified and have similar strength.

Since both sides have the same purpose.

At that moment, all the unnecessary words, calculations, and thoughts...had no meaning at all.

Throwing away the so-called red tape, the matter has reached this point, and there is only the most straightforward competition, or a fight.

Only then can we find the only 'strongness'.

However.

The competition that was supposed to be used to define the strong was now being used as a vent to vent personal emotions.

This made old man Yamamoto somewhat hesitant.

——Why do you think Soul Society has become like this?

Is it because I am too stuck on these minutiae, or am I simply unable to keep up with the thinking of today’s young people?

The thousand-year-old man was lost in thought at this moment.

And at the same time.

The other captains who were already present also began to look around at this moment.

Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jūshirō came side by side. After the two looked around for a while, the decadent-looking uncle showed a teasing smile.

“I didn’t expect to choose a place like this to do it~”

It’s not unusual to have such emotion.

Because everyone present was in an extremely remote corner of the Seireitei.

The terrain here is quite high. To reach here, you need to pass through a long series of corridors like steps.

Until the platform.

From the edge of this wide, oval-shaped place, you can look into the distance - enough to capture three-quarters of the Seireitei.

It's wide and flat here.

The flat land is large enough to accommodate a thousand people, and even gives people a feeling of emptiness that is close to loneliness.

"Speaking of which, it was a long time ago when I last visited a place like this."

Ukitake Jushiro's emotion was exactly the same.

And his eyes were focused on a certain direction in this vast land.

Following the sound, it was a lonely thing with a primitive and simple shape, more than ten meters high.

It stands here alone, as if it has existed forever without any changes.

The emotion on Jingraku Shunshui's face was even more intense.

"That was probably more than two hundred years ago."

"Has it been so long..."

After pondering for a moment, the captain of the Thirteenth Division lowered his eyebrows. The meaning of sadness mixed into his words and slowly overflowed.

"It seems that the Seireitei has been at peace for a long time."

"Indeed."

Not far away, Maozhihualie slowly stepped forward. The thousand-year-old captain usually looked taciturn, but at this moment, her face also had an indescribable look.

She just stared blankly at the distant object, her mouth twitching for a moment.

Finally, he showed a helpless smile.

Time passes and time passes.

Everything is changing, just like the gurgling water. Although it is not intentional, it is far stronger than gold and iron.

"As I get older, I can't help but feel emotional when I see some old objects."

"..."

Not far away, Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro looked at each other, feeling inexplicably choked at the moment.

What a proposition.

When you say this, do you want the two brothers to accept it or not?

The silence did not last long, because soon... Aizen Sosuke, Tosen Kaname, and Komamura Zuojin stepped forward side by side.

I took the initiative to say hello to a few people here.

"Good afternoon, captains."

A warm face and a kind tone.

A man who is like a spring breeze seems to be synonymous with gentleness and elegance.

Kyōraku Shunsui straightened the brim of his hat and took half a step forward, a smile blooming on his face at this moment.

"Oh, Vice Aizen... ah, sorry, I'm rude, it should be Captain Aizen now."

"It is indeed a great honor for us, Seireitei, that an outstanding person like you can serve as the captain."

"I just didn't expect that you would deliberately transfer to the third division to serve."

After a moment of pause, the century-old captain's expression showed a hint of joking.

"Is there some unspeakable reason?"

His tone was normal, but what he asked was somewhat presumptuous.

Behind him, Ukitake Jushiro couldn't help coughing twice.

——Stop it, you decadent uncle, do you still want to embarrass others on such an occasion?

but.

To Aizen, could this behavior really be called offensive?

No.

After pondering for a moment, this gentle man showed a thoughtful expression.

"If you really want to talk about it, there are indeed some reasons..."

Kyōraku Shunsui naturally turned his head half way.

"Ha, it's just a casual remark, don't take it too seriously, Captain Aizen."

"It is true, but it is not something unspeakable after all."

A harmless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth at this moment.

"Just being active in the fifth division, I will always think of the former captain Hirako. As the deputy captain, I couldn't do anything... To this day, even if I just think about it, I can't help but feel a little pain in my heart."

Speaking of which.

The atmosphere that was originally a bit relaxed suddenly became more serious at this moment.

So much so that Kyōraku Shunsui, who had always seemed cynical, no longer felt like smiling at this moment.

The Hollow Incident had a huge impact on the Seireitei. In terms of losses alone, it was almost enough to be recorded in the annals of history.

History is destined to be something that cannot be turned into entertainment or entertainment.

After all, the seriousness has been eliminated, and the role of introspection and prompting has been lost.

In this day and age, absolutely no one would support the so-called ‘entertaining one to death’.

Let me ask...will people reflect on anything after appreciating a geisha's performance?

Jingraku Shunsui lowered his head in silence, his eyes fixed on the ground, and he spoke slowly.

"That's it. That's it. Please forgive me and accept the change."

"Thank you for your concern, Captain Kyoko."

The atmosphere is too heavy.

After all, the past has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no point in immersing yourself in it.

Ukitake Jushiro coughed twice, raised his right hand and pointed not far away.

"Speaking of this, Captain Aizen, and the other two captains, do you know what that thing is?"

Dongxian wants a blind brother.

Naturally, I was speechless at this moment.

"..."

The Komamura Zuozhen next to him had a big iron bucket on his head. He was as tall as a mountain, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Unknowable."

There's something interesting about the way he speaks.

In contrast, Aizen gently rubbed his chin and showed a thoughtful expression.

"If you say this... I might have some impression."

Jingraku Shunsui became very excited.

"Then, I would like to ask Captain Aizen, what is the real name of this thing? What is its function?"

"Haha, are you testing me? Captain Kyoko."

"Don't say such disappointing things~ Just think of it as a joke between colleagues. Occasionally, you can also say some witty words, which will make people feel a lot younger."

Seemingly finding this attitude a bit overwhelming, Aizen showed a rather bitter smile.

Want to say something.

However, an extremely cold voice came from behind at this moment.

"This is the so-called zhe, right?"

Nirvana, who was barely dressed in a decent manner, but whose make-up style was too bold, walked forward slowly.

His eyes were fixed on the elevated tower in the distance, the expression on his face showed no sadness or joy, and the words that came out of his mouth showed no sign of stopping.

"This is a somewhat historical statement, and I have only seen it in popular science books."

"Based on the usage of the word, it should have been used to describe something that was tortured... To describe it specifically, it is torture used to split limbs."

"But that's a current theory. If you put it in Soul Society, there is another way to explain it."

So...this thing.

Nie Yuli raised his right hand, and in the curled palm, his index finger was slightly raised, pointing towards the elevated structure in the distance.

"Is this the so-called execution rack?"

The smile on Jingraku Shunshui's face became even wider, and the eyes he looked at Niyuri were filled with emotion at this moment.

"Captain Nirvana, I thought you were also a person obsessed with research, but I didn't expect that you could do such research on these histories."

"Just because I like research doesn't mean I'm a fool. That's what common sense is, right?"

Oh, the attack power is quite strong.

However, they are still within the defense range of Kyoryaku Shunsui.

"Really? Then please take care of Captain Nie from now on and help me with my literacy."

"...Forget it, not interested."

There is nothing more helpless than a punch on cotton. At this time, Nirvana is more interested in other things than arguing.

"That thing shouldn't be independent, right?"

"Yes, even though it only appeared during executions, that kind of thing does exist..."

It was an absolute symbol of power and punishment in the Soul Society.

"An instrument of torture called double torture."

It consists of a spear and a sword in front of you.

Under the devastation of double death, any soul will be completely evaporated - unable to be reincarnated or reincarnated.

Not even the residue of a spirit child will be left behind.

The double execution will completely erase everything about the person being executed until the other person completely disappears in this so-called Soul Society.

Nirvana seemed to be a little more interested.

"It is said that after being liberated, that thing has the ability to destroy a million Zanpakutō? So that's why it needs such a broad and independent platform... It's really interesting."

Not far away, Ukitake Jushiro smiled bitterly and said in a tone as if he was talking to himself.

"If possible, I still don't want to use this thing again..."

Communication between the captains is ongoing.

Although some of them are acquaintances for the first time, after all, they will also be colleagues who need to get along with each other for a long time in the future.

Even if it's just a familiar face, it is a very necessary behavior at this moment - a character like Free Nirvana will now abide by such rules and regulations.
