"I heard that the person next door is the eldest son of the Kuchiki family."
"What young master? He is just a young boy from Rukongai who married into the Kuchiki family. He was born with the violent, unstable and evil factor of Rukongai in his blood. I heard that he was suspected of treason and came here."
"After climbing the Kuchiki family, you can't tell how much you weigh, right? You really thought you were the blood of the five nobles..."
gloomy, cold
Kuchiki Xianghe leaned against the wall of the prison, and in his ears came the discussion of the surrounding criminal soldiers or people who were also imprisoned here.
He clenched his fists but didn't say anything.
He has heard such words as "Ruzou", "Rukongai", "Gao Pan", so many times.
Originally, he should have calmed down.
But he couldn't do it now. He leaned against the wall and exhaled a long breath, white gas evaporating in front of his eyes.
Xianghe recalled his past, from struggling to survive in Rukongai to entering the Kuchiki family, from meeting the Bone Swordsman last night to being arrested.
"who are you……"
He knew in his heart that someone must be setting him up, but he did make a mistake out of desperation.
No, are you really in a hurry?
He thought that when he saw the woman in black robe, there would always be an inexplicable impulse in his heart.
That woman seems to have the ability to make people become more irritable or control their minds.
Speaking of which, there is indeed some connection with his Muramasa, except that Muramasa controls the Zanpakutō, while she controls people's hearts.
"If she has such an ability...maybe it won't be long before I am transferred to the Palace of Confession? And then...executed on the Bipolar Pole?"
Of course Xianghe doesn't want to die, let alone be framed to death, but how can he resist now?
Muramasa...is no longer around.
The only hope now is the surveillance in the movie theater. As long as my father finds that woman, he will definitely know that he has been framed.
But reality is always ruthless...
"Unfortunately, we found no trace of the black-robed woman in Xianghe River."
Kuchiki Ginling said calmly outside the prison, seemingly not angry or having any other emotions at all because of the death of his son-in-law.
Xianghe knew that he was such a man. As a role model for aristocrats, once rules were involved, he would not have any tolerance even if he was his son-in-law.
"how come……"
His hands dropped weakly and he stared blankly ahead.
How come... there is no such woman?!
how could be?!
Xianghe felt like falling into an ice cave. Although he had long known how that mysterious woman could show such obvious signs, he still couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope in his heart.
But now, that hope was ruthlessly shattered, and Xianghe could only look at his 'father' helplessly.
"Your punishment will be decided by Chamber 46, but the Tsunayashiro family has identified you as the culprit who killed Tsunayashiro Shinji and called out the 'evil bones' and targeted them."
Kuchiki Ginling turned around and said one last thing.
"Your only hope of escaping guilt now is to find the bone swordsman and use your ability to summon the soul of his Zanpakutō, otherwise..."
He didn't say anything else, but Xianghe already knew it even without saying anything.
I...will die.
"I have no reason at all to kill Tsunayashiro Shinji! There is no reason to provoke a civil war among the nobles!"
Xianghe sat slumped on the wall and couldn't help laughing and said, "What a fair and strict Room 46! There's no need to catch the Bone Swordsman, my ability has no effect on him!"
"It doesn't work?" Kuchiki Ginling was stunned. He stopped and turned around, frowning and looking at Kuchiki Xianghe.
"I fought with him last night, and what he held was undoubtedly a Zanpakutō. With your ability, you shouldn't be unable to control it."
The reason why he couldn't support the Kuchiki family as quickly as possible in the battle last night was because he was entangled by the bone swordsman on the road.
So he knew very well that what the bone swordsman was holding was indeed a Zanpakutō.
At that time, I finally got rid of him and returned home, but I only found the last scene of all the gods of death killing each other.
At that time, he felt something was wrong. Gin Ling knew very well how alert Muramasa's abilities would be to Soul Society. This was why he never wanted Xianghe to use Muramasa's abilities too much.
But this scene can no longer be passed over, because it seems that there are only the rebellious nobles and the Kuchiki family at the scene, but in fact the eyes of the entire Joireitei are focused here.
Even the Kuchiki family of the five great nobles cannot be the enemy of the entire Joireitei.
As expected, before he had time to come up with a countermeasure, the criminal army had already arrived.
He did not believe that Xianghe would try to provoke conflicts among other nobles of the Tsunayashiro family, as Mr. Mochimu said, or even provoke a civil war among the nobles as a whole.
He may not be good at words, but he prides himself on not failing to judge people to this extent.
"I have no idea."
Faced with Ginling's doubts, Hibikiga gave up on himself and said, "Maybe... that guy is really Tsunayashiro Shinji's 'evil bone', maybe... maybe it was really me who did all this."
"..." Kuchiki Ginling shook his head, then turned around and left the prison.
Kuchiki Xianghe did not ask him to defend himself, because he knew that his 'father' would never break the rules for him.
"hateful!"
He punched the wall hard, and the huge force caused blood to flow from his fist, but Xianghe punched again as if he didn't feel it, and another punch after another!
After an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped and put his head against the wall, lowering his head weakly.
At this moment, maybe it was the pain in his arm or the coldness on his forehead, but he seemed to have figured out something.
Why...why would I suffer all this?
Why... was he targeted by that purple-eyed woman?
"You...are scared."
He suddenly laughed out loud, and he finally understood why the people around him died in the form of 'killing each other' several times last night.
That's... to let people understand Muramasa's ability more intuitively and make him more feared!
squeak
At this time, the cell door was suddenly opened.
Xianghe turned around instantly, only to find two Shinigami holding Zanpakutō walking in.
"The God of Death who took me to the Palace of Confession is coming so soon? It seems that some people can't wait."
He laughed to his heart's content, laughing at these ignorant gods of death. They were just cattle and horses driven by the five nobles throughout their lives, and there was no difference between him who was framed and feared!
"Are you still dreaming about the young master?" However, the God of Death who came just smiled.
"Before you die, I want you to understand that your existence is just to let the big shots clean up the worms among the nobles and the hidden dangers among the people in power."
"After you succeed in doing this, you can die and follow your ugly Zanpakuto Muramasa into hell!"
