Bleach: Stir Up the Situation

Even if you don’t know how many forks in the road are ahead, the first step must always be taken bravely, even if it is full of unknowns and adventures.

Hong Jiang opened the door in front of him, and his first step would start from here.

"Dingling~"

Yixin, who was still washing dishes in the kitchen, heard the bell ringing outside and paused in his movements. Ichigo and the others should have arrived at school by now, and a patient came to their door so early.

While wiping his hands, he walked towards the front hall. The moment he saw the person coming, Isshin's smiling face quickly fell, "Why are you here?"

You can't blame him for not being kind. In fact, the three people who came here are not cute juniors. Yoruichi may be a little better. Urahara and Hiroe are more difficult to deal with than the other. They will not come to the door easily even if it is not troublesome. .

"Of course I have something to do when I come to visit you." Hong Jiang said straight to the point, and then smiled slightly and put on a harmless look: "Why don't you invite us in before we talk, Uncle Yixin?"

No please, get out!

Although he wanted to say this, Isshin turned sideways and let the three of them enter the living room. Hiroe first laid incense in front of Kurosaki Masaki's photo, and then sat down to chat with Isshin.

"This sudden visit is actually about old things. The whole team of the 10th Division was wiped out a hundred years ago."

Such a straight-to-the-point approach made Yixin feel a little uncomfortable. He was also familiar with Hong Jiang. The young man in front of him would never adopt such a straightforward way of speaking. Once this happened, it would mean that it would be difficult to use any excuse to prevaricate him.

"That matter? I have already told you everything I know. Did you find any new evidence to prove my innocence?"

Isshin leaned back and continued nonchalantly: "But it doesn't look like you have made any new progress. This is not surprising. After all, so much time has passed and no other murderer was found except for what I thought." Traces of it, let alone now, even if there are traces, they have long since disappeared in the long river of time.”

Yes, the charges against Isshin have not been cleared. Although he and Urahara went to the Seireitei together to deal with Aizen, this does not mean that he, like Urahara and Yoruichi, has been proven innocent.

In fact, at that time, the Forty-Six had just re-established its influence and had reached its lowest point in history. In addition, it was during the war, so the Forty-Six did not have the power to interfere too much. Almost all decisions were made by Yamamoto. In one person's hands.

Of course, Yamamoto was not without his intervention, but even Isshin, who witnessed it, couldn't tell who was the real murderer who destroyed the 10th Division. How could he clear his name? Is it just relying on the experience of escaping from the chip space and narrowly avoiding death? This seems too unconvincing.

Therefore, Yamamoto did not believe in Isshin, but he did not completely disbelieve in it either. The current enemy is not the time to dwell on the past. Being able to overcome difficulties together is the most important thing at that time.

Later, Aizen's ambition was crushed, and Hong Jiang and his back-up players played a role that cannot be ignored, including of course the existence of Isshin.

Although the merits and demerits are not equal to each other, the efforts made to protect the Seireitei and Soul Society cannot be ignored. With Hong Jiang's mediation, he will not be imprisoned and executed.

Isshin's current identity is as a member of the Collaboration Bureau, or a member who has been deprived of rights such as being able to walk in the Seireitei. To put it bluntly, it is another kind of surveillance, but the person responsible for this is Hong Jiang, the director of the Collaboration Bureau.

This series of differential treatment all stems from that incident. Apart from the Aizen incident, it was the worst incident in the Seireitei to wipe out all the divisions in the past century. Not only Honge could not let it go, but anyone who had experienced that incident would definitely let it go. No less.

"That's right, the real culprit who couldn't be found at the beginning is even more difficult to find now."

Grain

Hongjiang crossed his hands and put his head on his head, leaning forward slightly to get closer to Isshin: "But we can't just pretend that it didn't happen just because we don't have a clue. So far, this is the only case in which an entire squad has been destroyed."

"Not to mention that such a tragedy happened right under our noses. You were once the captain. You don't understand the meaning behind this, Uncle Yishin."

It goes without saying that a person who wiped out an entire squad is deeply hostile to the God of Death.

After a long investigation that year, the Seireitei almost ruled out the possibility of outsider invasion. Therefore, the blame finally fell on the disappeared Isshin.

But if Isshin is not the one who committed this crime. Whether there are forces with malicious intentions hidden within the Seireitei, or there are external enemies that come and go without a trace, either possibility is terrifying.

Of these two possibilities, the latter is undoubtedly more disturbing.

An enemy who can deceive everyone and come and go freely in the base camp of the God of Death. When one day he really shows his fangs, the harm he will cause will inevitably be accompanied by heart-stopping blood and killing.

Isshin was still leaning on the back of his chair, as if he didn't care at all, but his slightly uneasy look betrayed his thoughts.

"Of course I know that may represent an unprecedented danger, but I really don't have any more clues."

His voice was serious, as if there was a trace of struggle, and his eyes met Hong Jiang's eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, but he involuntarily avoided them.

"I told you everything I know last time. Yes, I did chase a figure into the realm, but I was ambushed soon after and had no idea of ​​the other person's identity." Isshin suddenly paused. , as if he remembered something: "By the way, I also fought back at that time, and the other party may have fallen into the fragmented space, and may even be still wandering today."

Yes, this is not Hongjiang's first visit to this matter. After he came to the world to deal with Aizen's possible attack, Hongjiang went to see Isshin without telling Haiyan.

Isshin's answer at that time was the same as now, and Hongjiang didn't say much. After all, how to deal with Aizen was the key at that time.

But at that time, Yixin had a feeling that Hongjiang, the junior he was most afraid of, would not let go of the past easily. This young man would always visit again, not to seek answers, but to verify what he thought in his heart.

"That's right, you told me a long time ago." Hong Jiang said slowly, still looking calm, "I also believe that at that time you didn't know who the real murderer was, or who the real murderer was. Tell me, what is your identity?"

Isshin frowned, "I still don't know until now."

The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he was even a little afraid. He was afraid that Hong Jiang would continue to speak, and he didn't want to hear it no matter whether the guess was correct or not.

Hong Jiang did as he wished and didn't speak anymore, just looked at him calmly. Even though he avoided the other person's gaze, he still felt like a light on his back.

The small room fell silent, as if you could even hear the sound of sweat oozing out. The atmosphere was so oppressive that people couldn't help but want to escape.

Finally, with Hongjiang's sigh, the oppressive atmosphere was broken, and Yoruichi even exhaled heavily, as if to celebrate this hard-won breath.

"Really?" Hong Jiang slowly spit out three words.

The scene that Yishin was most afraid of seeing seemed to gradually become clear after these three words.
