Chapter 451: The Boss with the Hair Gel Can't Sit Still
When they heard the sudden revelation from Yecheng, all the Shinigami captains present were stunned.
Among them, the trio of Aizen's group, especially, looked as if their pupils were quaking, gazing at Yecheng with bewildered expressions as he exposed the shocking information.
Aizen first glanced at Genryusho Tsozen and Shiman Gin beside him, and after seeing their expressions of shock, which seemed genuine, he turned his gaze back to Yecheng on the ground.
It must be said that since Kurona Kiyotsugu was outsmarted and driven out of the Soul Society, this was the first time Aizen felt a hint of unease.
As the antagonist boss, Aizen naturally had the confidence to face any situation, so even if his plans were exposed, he wouldn't flinch.
But the crux of the problem was that his preparations weren't complete yet. The Soul Society hadn't fallen into chaos, and the Hogyoku inside Lucia hadn't been retrieved.
If his actions were exposed at this critical juncture, could he leave unscathed? Don't forget that this was a captain's meeting, and all the Shinigami captains were present. If his plans were exposed, the next moment would be a 3 vs 10 situation.
Aizen didn't care much about the other Shinigami captains, but at this stage, he didn't have the courage to face the old captain commander.
With the ability 'Mirage Water Moon' and the Great Hollow's 'Anti-Membrane,' escaping was not a problem. But the key was returning to the Soul Society to retrieve the Hogyoku, which wasn't a simple task.
The "Hogyoku" was crucial to his upcoming research, and he couldn't afford to lose it. This was why Aizen was feeling anxious.
Aizen even began to wonder what Yecheng had discovered in his investigation and whether the Hogyoku he coveted was still hidden within Lucia.
"Don't worry about anything, just speak your findings, Yecheng, Third Seat."
At this moment, all the captains present could feel the subtle yet palpable pressure emanating from the captain commander. It was clear that Yecheng's revelation had enraged the old man.
A spy within the Soul Society? And the turmoil in the Soul Society over the past century was all their doing? How could the captain commander not be furious?
Almost simultaneously, as the captain commander directed his stern question at Yecheng, Aizen slowly reached for his Zanpakuto at his waist.
It was as if he was ready to react the moment Yecheng uttered certain words.
The same movement was also mirrored by Shiman Gin at his side and Genryusho Tsozen across from him.
Aizen's actions involved them to some extent, and they hadn't achieved their individual goals yet, so they couldn't afford to die here.
Having boarded the pirate ship, they could only follow Aizen's lead to the bitter end.
However, just as the trio was on edge, Yecheng's next words unexpectedly eased their tension.
Facing the captain commander's interrogation, Yecheng merely bowed his head and said, "Captain Commander, I'm truly sorry. Although my investigation has made some progress, I still don't know who the mastermind is.
But it's certain that the person is from the Gotei 13 and holds a relatively high position, even possessing some research expertise.
Whether it's the Hollowification incident in the Soul Society or the attack on the Real World by the students of the Spiritual Arts Academy, the perpetrator seems to have a thorough understanding of our Gotei 13's actions.
Moreover, over ten years ago, when you ordered me to investigate Captain Shiba's disappearance in the Real World, I also sensed the presence of Hollows there."
This is not an ordinary Hollow, but one with a Hollow Mask that has been obviously modified by someone. It's similar to the one that Vice Captain Kaede and I encountered in the Human World before.
This means that the perpetrator behind the Real World Attack Incident at the Spiritual Academy and Captain Shiba's disappearance is likely a group of people."
"Based on this unique Hollow, I further investigated the Soul Society Hollowification Incident that occurred a hundred years ago.
I discovered that the investigation team led by Captain Heizi Mio also experienced similar symptoms, leading to the conclusion that the Hollowification Incident was connected to these events.
Initially, I also believed that the Hollowified Captain Heizi and her team might be the masterminds behind these incidents. However, the subsequent Real World Attack Incident and Captain Shiba's disappearance clearly indicated that the perpetrator had a deep understanding of the Gotei 13's internal affairs.
This not only cleared Captain Heizi and her team of any suspicion but also allowed us to deduce that the investigation team, consisting of Captains and Vice Captains a hundred years ago, were likely just pawns used by the true mastermind. They were probably framed."
After Yecheng's lengthy explanation, all the Shinigami Captains in attendance, including the Captain Commander himself, fell into a deathly silence.
They never imagined that a seemingly minor incident involving Rukia could lead to the revelation of so many shocking truths.
No one wanted to ridicule Yecheng for his wild imagination, but the logic and evidence he presented were so clear and well-founded that they couldn't find any grounds for refutation.
Moreover, apart from the Captain Commander, the other Shinigami Captains present were unaware that Yecheng not only possessed formidable strength but also exceptional investigative skills.
Everyone thought he was slacking off, but it turned out he was just pretending to hide his true intentions while investigating the truth.
"Regarding Yecheng's words today, you are all forbidden from disclosing them outside!
From now on, all Shinigami above the rank of Seat Officer in the Gotei 13 are not allowed to leave their barracks without a valid reason. Conduct self-inspections and wait until the investigation reveals the whole truth!"
Compared to the hidden traitor within the Gotei 13, the matter of Rukia granting human Shinigami powers was now considered insignificant.
The Captain Commander was furious. He not only confined all the Shinigami Captains but also ordered Yecheng to expedite the investigation, granting him an unprecedented amount of authority for a Third Seat.
There was no other choice. If everything Yecheng said was true, it meant the mastermind had grand ambitions. If they didn't apprehend the culprit quickly, the impact would only grow.
Thinking about the several Shinigami Captains and Vice Captains who were mere pawns a hundred years ago, the Captain Commander couldn't help but feel enraged.
If we consider Kurona, Shihoin, and Shiba, it means that at least half of the former Gotei 13 Captains were manipulated by the enemy!"
In summary, after this Captain's meeting, the entire Seireitei became even more chaotic.
Due to Yecheng thoroughly stirring up the waters, the ordinary members of the Gotei 13 who were unaware of the full story started to feel a sense of impending doom.
In the barracks of the Second Division, Shiman Gin stood in the courtyard with narrowed eyes, resembling a venomous snake ready to strike.
Soon, he seemed to sense something and abruptly spoke, "Captain Aizen, you're coming to me at this time. What if Yecheng suspects us? After all, the Captain Commander has given strict orders. Even we Captains are not allowed to act freely without a valid reason."
