"As for Captain Aizen... No, Aizen's verdict will be finalized today, right?"
"The adults in Zhenyang Room 46 have been discussing this for so long, and it's time to make a decision."
"I don't think there's anything to discuss. Anyway, according to past cases, the great sinner Aizen will definitely be sealed into Mugen. On the contrary, I am more curious about Captain Ichimaru Gin's treatment."
"I think there is a high probability that he will be punished with double death."
"No way? Didn't Captain Gin Ichimaru help Captain Duanmu a lot in the end?"
"..."
Outside the corridor outside Mao No. 46, a large number of Shinigami from the Seventh Division as the inner court escorts gathered, and there were also covert and mobile patrol teams and police units on the outside to guard the area.
Today is the day to transfer the great sinner Aizen. In order to avoid the unknown Aizen's subordinates in the Seireitei and take this opportunity to rescue Aizen, the security standards around Mao's 46th Room can be said to be extremely high.
.
In addition to several divisions working together to build a defensive network, there were also several captains and deputy captains accompanying the trial in the underground meeting hall of Room 46 of Mao.
Because Aizen Sosuke, even if he is in a sealed state, does not dare to be underestimated in the slightest.
even……
Even every word he said might be part of some kind of conspiracy.
And he was even more cautious about Aizen's seal. In addition to Urahara Kisuke's original seal, after returning from Hueco Mundo, Nirvana added many sealing devices on his own on the grounds of 'Can Urahara Kisuke's seal be trusted?', although
…
Niryuri said he didn't trust it, but in fact he didn't make any changes to Urahara Kisuke's seal, but only made more detailed enhancements on the original basis.
Outside the ten-layered barrier of the underground meeting hall in Room 46 of Mao, the four captains of Kyoraku Shunsui, Zaihou, Hitsugaya Toshiro, and Komamura Zuofen stood in a square shape, and in the middle of them was a handful filled with ghosts.
The breath-sealing chair, and the person bound on the chair, is none other than Aizen Soyousuke.
At this time, Aizen was wrapped in black bandages all over his body, his hands and feet were tied to the chair, and even one of his eyes was wrapped.
Behind the four captains were Kuchiki Byakuya and Unohana Retsu, and between them was the shackled Gin Ichimaru.
Finally, there were the deputy captains. Except for some deputy captains who had suffered serious injuries and still had not recovered, basically all of them were present. Even Kira Izuru and Hisagi Shuhei, who did not have a captain, were also in the queue.
At this time, Hisagi Shuhei was staring at Aizen, filled with anger.
He really wanted to step forward and ask Aizen why he wanted to kill Tōsen for the captain!
Originally, Captain Tosen Kaname did not die after being defeated by the captain of Komamura Zuozhen and himself. However, during the transfer to Soul Society, Captain Tosen Kaname suddenly... blew himself up in front of their eyes. That was obviously
It's not a normal death.
The only possibility is...
What did Aizen do inside Captain Tosen Kaname!!
He didn't understand why Aizen had to kill Captain Tosen.
But Hisagi Shuhei also knows very well that now is not a good time to vent his anger, otherwise if Aizen accidentally breaks out of the seal, Soul Society will be even more severely damaged.
Bang--!
At this moment, the ten barriers leading to the underground meeting hall slowly opened to both sides.
Seeing this, the four captains headed by them used their spiritual pressure to push the Kidou Sealing Chair, making it hang in the air and headed towards the underground meeting hall.
Byakuya Kuchiki and Hana Retsu Uno followed suit. The vice-captains looked at each other and followed suit.
Different from the calmness of several captains, the vice-captains present were more or less nervous. After all, except for Matsumoto Rangiku and Kira Izuru, who had been to the underground meeting hall once with their respective captains, the other vice-captains had never been here before.
.
After passing through the long corridor, what everyone sees is a downward passage.
The underground meeting hall, which is like a grandstand, is empty except for the number '38' engraved on it. The other seats are already filled with people. On the judgment seat directly in front of the underground meeting hall, six presiding judges are waiting for the battle.
In fact, like the deputy captains present, most of these sages and judges were also very nervous.
after all……
This is the first time they have taken over the work of Mao No. 46 in a real sense. Before this, Captain Yamamoto had always been in charge of Mao No. 46.
Aizen was escorted to the interrogation seat in the center of the underground chamber, while Ichimaru Gin was sent aside.
All the captains stepped back and stood in a line in front of the entrance.
During this process, neither Aizen nor Ichimaru Gin said a single word.
But unlike Aizen's contempt for the current situation, Ichimaru Gin's eyes have always been on someone in the vice-captain's queue.
The expected trial did not start immediately. After Aizen was sent to the trial, the adults behind the numbers engraved on the boards did not speak, but remained silent. This made many people present feel uneasy.
Confuse.
Squeak——!
At this moment, opposite the entrance to the underground meeting hall where everyone entered, the door leading to the Purity Tower Forest Residence suddenly opened, and a figure walked in in full view of everyone.
This is a tall figure wearing a veil, whose face cannot be seen clearly, and wearing a high-collared robe.
The moment this figure appeared, Aizen, who had been unresponsive in the interrogation seat, suddenly looked at the other person, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"This is really interesting."
His sudden speech made several captains around him tense up.
However, after seeing that Aizen made no next move, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.
Kyōraku Shunsui and Unohana Retsu, among the six captains, turned their attention to the tall figure, with some surprise in their eyes.
Although the other party is just like an ordinary person and does not reveal the slightest aura of spiritual pressure, the person who can cause Aizen's reaction obviously cannot be an ordinary person, and the only person in the entire Seireitei who can hide his aura to this extent is
one!
After taking a look at Aizen on the trial bench, the visitor went straight to the wooden sign with the number '38' engraved on it and sat on the only vacant seat.
Bang--!
Almost at the same time as this man sat down, the sound of hammers sounded from the judgment seat.
"Traitor Aizen..."
One of the presiding judges in the trial seat immediately began to describe Aizen's crimes as soon as the sage took his seat.
This made Kyōraku Shunsui, who had vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.
Even the other captains and vice-captains couldn't help but cast their sights on the wooden sign numbered '38'. Judging from the reactions of the six presiding judges, this sage with the sequence '38' obviously has someone in the forty-sixth room of Mao.
great prestige.
Aizen was accused of so many crimes that even if he followed the script, it still took him nearly three minutes.
"...Decided unanimously by all the sages!"
Boom——!
The sound of hammering sounded again:
"The verdict is announced that the former captain of the fifth division, Sosuke Aizen, will be sentenced to 18,800 years of imprisonment in the eighth prison at the bottom of the underground prison."
"Haha~~"
Disdainful laughter rang out, breaking the serious atmosphere.
Aizen, who was sitting on the trial bench, glanced at the presiding judge who was speaking with contempt: "Do you think you also want to sentence me?"
"It's so ridiculous."
His words were extremely calm, just like the presiding judge on the stage, not even qualified to cause him any emotional fluctuations.
"What?"
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the venue.
"You are such a treasonous person, I will spare your life and you dare to speak rudely."
"Tie his other eye and mouth together!"
"Extend the sentence to 20,000 years."
"..."
Aizen paid no attention to the roars of the sages around him, but turned to look at the wooden sign numbered '38' with a smile on his face: "It's really beyond my expectation that you can sit here.
Ah, aren’t you going to say something?”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the wooden sign numbered '38'.
"There's nothing to say."
A plain voice came out, a little deep, full of majesty, making everyone present feel strange, but at the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Since the sages have already said it, let's increase the sentence to 20,000 years. Anyway, it won't make much difference to you."
"Yeah?"
Regarding this sentencing, Aizen did not refute disdainfully again, but smiled noncommittally:
"I'm really looking forward to seeing you in 'Infernal Affairs'."
"presumptuous!"
Before the sage behind wooden sign No. 38 could speak, the other sages present had already shouted angrily.
This made Duan Mu behind the wooden sign a little speechless, because these old guys were obviously a little excited for the first trial and were always looking for opportunities to show their presence.
The verdict has already been pronounced, so why bother arguing with Aizen? You can't defeat him.
but……
According to his cheap sworn sister Nayura, before he went to Tallinn Residence, this group of people had been simulating the trial process for a night. At this time, Aizen was treating him with such contempt, it is no wonder that they were like this
I can't wait to go up and pull Aizen's collar and curse him.
"Captain Zaihou, Captain Kyōband, please lead the supervision team to escort Aizen to Mugen."
Duan Mu spoke up to interrupt the quarrel between the sages and Aizen, and turned his attention to the broken bees in the audience.
Such kind words made Zhifeng couldn't help but be startled, because as the commander-in-chief of the Secret Maneuver, a direct agency of Mao No. 46 Room, she can be said to be the one who has the most contact with the sages of Mao No. 46 Room among all the captains.
, I am very aware of the arrogant attitude of these condescending adults.
However, she didn't pay too much attention to it, just assuming that it was the first time that the other party took office and he had not yet developed that arrogant character.
But she didn't know...
At this moment, the adult in her eyes was struggling with how to face her in the future.
During these ten days, Duan Mu has been hiding in the intensive care room of the comprehensive rescue center and has not left. On the one hand, he wanted to quietly plan his future path, and on the other hand, he wanted to avoid the Zaihu... He had no choice at the time... Well, yes
Zhanfeng made a confession, which left Duan Mu completely confused as to how to end it.
After all, Zaihou is not one of those women from Rukongai. As one of the thirteen strongest people in the Seireitei, if she is not handled well, there will be endless troubles.
Um……
Let’s avoid it first…
The corners of Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly under the veil, and he chose to give up thinking.
"Next is the trial regarding Gin Ichimaru."
As Aizen was escorted away, the presiding judge on the stage began to read again.
"...Although he made some contribution in punishing the traitor Aizen, the crime was too heinous. After unanimous decision by all the sages, the former captain of the third division, Gin Ichimaru, was sentenced to death!"
As soon as this statement came out, most of the people present were not surprised. Even Ichimaru Gin himself did not react much. Only Rangiku Matsumoto, who was in the vice-captain's queue, looked anxious and stepped out from the crowd.
"etc!"
A voice sounded, but the words were not spoken by Matsumoto Rangiku, who had come out of the crowd, but from behind the wooden sign of No. 38. This made Matsumoto Rangiku, who had come out of the crowd, and Hiban who was planning to stop her.
Shirou Gudong couldn't help but move.
"Dear Lord Judge."
Duan Mu stood up from behind the wooden sign and said in a serious tone: "Although Ichimaru Gin made a big mistake, he did play a great role in the duel with Aizen."
"Of course, his merits are still not enough to offset his faults, but now the Gotei Thirteenth Division is in a period of weakness and turmoil, and Ichimaru Gin's strength can play a certain role in the stability of the Seireitei, so I hope to respect
My lords, please reconsider the verdict against Ichimaru Gin from this point of view."
Originally, Duan Mu was not prepared to participate in the trial of Aizen and Ichimaru Gin.
The reason why he came here this time was entirely because he got the trial declaration passed to him through the underground passage this morning. Although Duan Mu did not participate, as a member of the 46th room of Zhenyang, any decision must be made before it is announced.
They will notify him symbolically.
It was after reading this trial announcement that Duan Mu sent the Liting team to inform before the meeting, and made the temporary decision to come to participate in the trial.
Duan Mu's words caused a sudden silence in the underground meeting hall.
All the sages frowned. After all, this was the result that had been discussed in advance. They never thought that Duan Mu, who had never been involved, would stand up and change the verdict at this time.
However, after getting along with each other for this period of time, they no longer looked down upon Duan Mu as much as they did at first, thinking that he was not qualified to sit in this position.
It's not because he defeated Aizen. After all, people like Mao No. 46 didn't understand how strong Aizen was... and they didn't think that defeating Aizen was such a great thing...
The reason why they agreed with Duan Mu was entirely because Duan Mu showed the qualifications that a sage should have.
Although he rarely participated in meetings, all the decisions made by Duan Mu were deeply recognized by everyone. Moreover, the female sages and judges present, young and old... all had a great favorable impression of Sage Duan Mu. In addition,
As the 'full-time bodyguard' of Mao Room 46, this is a position that Duan Mu has not acknowledged at all...
This allows Duan Mu to still have a certain say in the 46th room of Zhenyang.
But their verdict has already been issued. You, a guy who has been involved in the whole process and refused to come, now jumps out and asks us to change the verdict. Wouldn't it make us lose face?
For a moment, none of the sages spoke, causing the underground meeting hall to fall into silence.
However, the silence was soon broken.
"I second the motion!"
A slightly childish voice came from behind the No. 11 wooden sign: "Lord Amanmon's proposal does have its merits. Although considering the crime, Ichimaru Gin's death is not a pity. But I think he followed Aizen just to find
If we have the opportunity to stop Aizen, we should really consider mitigating his punishment."
"Furthermore, I also understand what Lord Amanmon said. The loss of three captains at once has made the residents of Seireitei feel uneasy. If this state continues, the uneasiness will spread to the entire Soul Society, so
I also hope that the respected presiding judge can reconsider Lord Awanmen’s proposal.”
As Duan Mu’s cheap sworn sister Nayura spoke, the female sages present spoke one after another:
"I also think Lord Awanmen's proposal can be considered."
"Indeed, if you consider the residents of Seireitei, Sage Duan...Amanmen's proposal makes a lot of sense."
"Now is the time to employ people, a special period, special treatment."
"..."
As the female sages and the chief judge agreed one after another, the other sages simply did not continue to argue.
After all, arguing in front of so many people will only make them feel more embarrassed.
The so-called trial announcement is just a process. The actual fierce debate has already been carried out before the announcement. As the sages of the 46th room of Zhenyang, they will not bring this kind of argument to the stage, but will only do so in private.
It was so noisy...
"In that case, in the opinion of Master Awanmen, what kind of punishment should be given to him?" someone said.
Duan Mu raised his head and secretly glanced around the wooden sign. After confirming that the 'Awanmen' he mentioned was referring to himself, he slowly said: "Let's imprison him in the prison of the police force responsible for public security management.
Captain Tani and Captain Matsumoto Rangiku will supervise him, and the sentence will be limited to ten thousand years. If he performs major meritorious service during this period, his sentence can be commuted based on the circumstances."
As soon as this statement came out, Gin Ichimaru, who had not reacted much in the court, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the No. 38 wooden sign.
On the other hand, Matsumoto Rangiku's eyes lit up and her face showed joy.
Hitsugaya Toshiro curled his lips, feeling as if he had been assigned a very fatal task, but he was not particularly worried, because if Ichimaru Gin wanted to resist, he would not let the Gotei 13th Division arrest him.
.
What's more...
Hitsugaya Toshiro glanced at Matsumoto Rangiku and looked after his work, obviously he didn't have to worry about it himself.
My vice-captain, who has never worked seriously, will probably take the initiative to take care of the situation with all his heart and soul this time.
"Can!"
"Then let's follow Lord Awanmen's judgment."
The sages didn't waste any time, directly agreed with Duan Mu's verdict and announced their withdrawal from the court.
After getting permission, Matsumoto Rangiku immediately stepped forward, picked up the chain, and looked at Gin Ichimaru with a proud look on his face.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came into her ears:
"Although the collar is not on, the chain should not be much different. I am willing to admit defeat and fulfill my promise."
Um?
Matsumoto Rangiku was startled at first, and then looked at seat 38 with extremely strange eyes.
