Chapter 1488: Thanks for the Reminder

After Ichimaru Gin left, Hinamori Momo fell to her knees with a thud. Su Xiao walked beneath "Aizen's corpse." Although he didn't show any grief, he ignored everyone else.

A white-haired youth walked out from a nearby alley. He first comforted Hinamori Momo, then came to Su Xiao's side.

The person who arrived was Toshiro. He had only just arrived; it was precisely because Toshiro had arrived that Su Xiao stopped Hinamori Momo, because after Toshiro arrived, it would be very difficult for Ichimaru Gin to kill Hinamori Momo.

"Thank you, Bai Ye."

Toshiro spoke in a low voice. He was thanking Su Xiao for stopping Hinamori Momo; otherwise, she might very well have lost her life at Ichimaru Gin's hands.

"Oh."

Su Xiao was still looking up.

"Toshiro, look there."

Su Xiao pointed at Aizen's corpse.

"This guy, is he dead?"

"..."

Toshiro sighed; he knew Su Xiao and Aizen were close friends.

"It seems I won't be able to find him to drink when I slack off tonight."

"My condolences."

Toshiro's mouth opened and closed. After thinking for a long time, he only said these two words, because in his view, any further comfort would be pale and powerless.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang squatted beside Su Xiao. It, of course, knew what the situation was, and in its heart, it praised Su Xiao's explosive acting skills.

Not long after, captains arrived one after another. Unohana Retsu arrived first, followed by Soi Fon, Kyoraku Shunsui, and others. By the time Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni arrived, most of the captains had basically arrived.

"Captain-Commander, it has been confirmed. Captain Aizen, he very likely..."

Unohana Retsu didn't continue. Yamamoto Genryusai just nodded. He had lived for so long; he had experienced all kinds of storms.

"Aizen" of course couldn't be left pinned up there to be exposed to the elements forever. Besides, Su Xiao was also tired of maintaining his acting.

Aizen's corpse was ultimately handed over to the Fourth Division to handle, mainly to see if it could be saved, and secondly to determine its authenticity—whether it was a corpse faked by prosthetic technology.

By noon that day, the crowd gradually dispersed. The Seireitei already had Ryoka invaders, and with Captain Aizen suddenly murdered, the atmosphere within the Seireitei became even more intense.

The so-called Ryoka were actually Kurosaki Ichigo and his group. Souls or Soul Reapers whose identities hadn't been verified entering the Soul Society were collectively referred to as Ryoka.

Compared to the Ryoka invasion, the murder of Fifth Division Captain Aizen was a thornier problem. This caused every division to tighten their nerves, and there were more Soul Reapers patrolling the streets.

Many suspected that Aizen's death was the work of Ichimaru Gin, but as a captain of the Third Division, suspicion alone wasn't enough; evidence was needed. As for those invading Ryoka, their suspicion was even less than Ichimaru Gin's. Given Aizen's strength, the possibility of him dying silently at the hands of Ryoka was very low.

Inside the First Division barracks, Su Xiao handed 100 Reishi spheres to a youth who looked very weak. The youth's name was Yamada Hanataro, a member of the Fourth Division.

After Hanataro left, Su Xiao sat cross-legged in front of a wooden table. Two pots of wine were placed on the table, and he signaled for Nan Que to go out as well.

Nan Que sighed and walked out of the room on tiptoe. Besides taking care of Su Xiao's daily life, she actually had another task: to monitor Su Xiao.

Now that Su Xiao's friend had just died, if she continued to monitor him, it would inevitably seem heartless.

Although Su Xiao lived in the First Division barracks, it wasn't difficult for him to leave. Because he discovered that the Soul Reapers' perception wasn't too strong; even Yamamoto Genryusai's perception wasn't strong to an exaggerated degree, otherwise, there would be no need to send people to monitor him.

"Died well."

Su Xiao stretched his muscles. Not having made a move for nearly ten days made him feel a bit unaccustomed. Tonight would be his first "surprise" for the Seireitei.

A stack of photos appeared in Su Xiao's hand. After hesitating for a moment, he pulled one out.

"It's you."

Su Xiao stood up, and Zhan Long Shan appeared in his hand.

"Xiang Bubu, scout the nearby biological units and plan a route."

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang pushed open the wooden sliding door and disappeared from Su Xiao's perception.

A moment later, Su Xiao walked out of the room, even sliding the door shut behind him. One had to know that Yamamoto Genryusai lived in this wooden building.

Walking into a not-too-long corridor, Su Xiao suddenly leaped up, bracing his feet against the walls on both sides.

"Have you heard? The Fifth Division Captain is dead."

"Of course. Captain Aizen, such a good person, actually met with such a fate. Sigh~"

Several Soul Reapers entered the corridor. They walked past beneath Su Xiao while chatting. When these Soul Reapers were far away, Su Xiao dropped from above, landing silently.

Su Xiao, of course, couldn't be prescient. It was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang scouting ahead; once someone approached, Su Xiao would receive Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's message.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had successfully entered the Soul Society, and Amu would also arrive soon. In 29 hours, all contractors who hadn't entered the Soul Society would be forcibly teleported into it. As a summoned creature, Amu could, of course, hitch a ride.

Su Xiao walked out of the First Division headquarters through the main gate. The streets were pitch black. It was 9:00 PM. Compared to the previous few days, the nights in the Seireitei were now very lively, or rather, the Seireitei was under martial law.

After wandering around the Seireitei a few times, Su Xiao arrived at the edge of the Seireitei. Further ahead was the White Way Gate, guarded by Jidanbo. This was where Su Xiao had entered the Seireitei.

Just as Su Xiao entered the edge area, stone walls fell from high above. If it were other Soul Reapers, they wouldn't trigger these Kido mechanisms. As a researcher, Su Xiao shouldn't have triggered them either.

The current situation was very interesting. Su Xiao had manufactured so many things for the Seireitei for free, yet when he wanted to leave, he triggered the Kido mechanisms, causing stone walls built of killing-intent stone to fall.

Just as the stone walls fell, the wooden door of a nearby house was pushed open, and Jidanbo, whom Su Xiao had met once, walked out.

Jidanbo yawned, looking like he had been sleeping. The two blades and axes at his waist were no longer there; if he wasn't mistaken, they had been shattered by Kurosaki Ichigo.

Jidanbo initially thought that some wandering souls were approaching the Seireitei, but just as he walked out of the house, he saw Su Xiao standing in front of the stone wall.

"Bai Ye?"

Jidanbo looked at Su Xiao in confusion.

"It's you. I heard from Toshiro that you've become a big shot in the Seireitei, but you cannot leave the Seireitei."

Jidanbo had clearly received orders, orders not to allow Su Xiao to leave the Seireitei area.

"Is that so? I originally wanted to go to my former residence to get some things. Since I can't leave, then forget it."

Su Xiao turned and walked toward the Seireitei, or rather, he was approaching Jidanbo.

"You're going the wrong way. The First Division barracks are that way."

"Thanks for the reminder."

Su Xiao stood in front of Jidanbo and looked up at him; Jidanbo was nearly ten meters tall.

"You..."

Before Jidanbo could finish his sentence, a blade flash appeared.

Pfft!

Blood splattered, and a massive head flew up.

With a boom, the headless corpse nearly ten meters tall collapsed to the ground, a large cloud of dust rose, and blood gurgled out, the surroundings filled with the smell of blood. ===== CHAPTER 1489 =====
