Chapter 2105: The Black Cat: Aizen

When inquiring about Aizen's intelligence, Su Han's expression instantly turned extremely peculiar.

Although Aizen has not yet truly betrayed the Soul Society, he has stopped concealing his identity.

After all, he is strong enough—whether it's Captain-Commander Yamamoto or any other top Shinigami—they have no right to demand he hide.

And upon learning what Aizen had concealed,

the Soul Society holds a wary attitude toward... Aizen.

Zhao Linger herself is no weakling, yet she went to inquire about the intelligence of a powerful figure like Aizen, whose allegiance is already ambiguous.

It's already lucky that Captain-Commander Yamamoto didn't personally show up to intercept her.

Though he internally grumbled, Su Han didn't dwell on it; he asked softly, "... Is the mission difficult?"

"It's not too bad!"

Zhao Linger rubbed her nose, thought for a moment, then replied with some embarrassment, "The mission objective is to defeat every Shinigami who bears the title of Captain."

She paused, then added, "Of course! If you directly defeat Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryūsai,

you can complete the mission instantly! And the reward for defeating Yamamoto Genryūsai... is far greater than defeating all the Captains combined."

Luo Cuilian's eating motion halted; she stared intently at Zhao Linger, and after a long silence, hesitated, "How much do you know about... Yamamoto Genryūsai?"

"The strongest Shinigami in history, I suppose."

Zhao Linger looked like she had a toothache; she sighed deeply, "Don't worry—I haven't grown so arrogant as to challenge that Captain-Commander! I'm just thinking of guerrilla tactics—

defeating each Captain one by one... Anyway... I won't kill them! I won't become their mortal enemy either."

"You're still thinking too simply."

Su Han remained noncommittal; his gaze was deep. "The Master's missions... are never simple at all."

"..."

Zhao Linger's lip twitched. Wasn't it normal for the Master's missions to be difficult? She was already used to it.

After thinking for a moment, Su Han whispered, "I'll help you contact Aizen.

If you continue with the mission, meet up with Aizen.

With his help, fighting each Captain one-on-one will be easy."

"That would be perfect."

Zhao Linger's eyes lit up instantly; she looked at Su Han with warmth and gratitude. "Of course! Big Brother is truly incredibly reliable."

Su Han: "!!!"

Zhao Linger had always called Su Han "Big Brother"... but this time, she called him "Big Brother Lord!" Su Han felt no joy at all.

Instead, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"You little brat—you're so pragmatic."

With a sigh, Su Han helplessly ruffled Zhao Linger's hair, then spoke in the Society.

Su Xiao Xiao: "Aizen Sōjirō,

are you available right now?"

Aizen Sōjirō: "I'm currently in the Type-Moon world, helping the Director shape a Shinigami body... But even after shaping it, she cannot perform Reishi transformation here to transfer back to Chaldea."

Su Xiao Xiao: "... So?"

Aizen Sōjirō: "Let the Director return with me to the Dead World first. Once Gudako and the others return to Chaldea, I'll send the Director there."

Gudako: "I am deeply grateful... Mr. Aizen has done us a great favor."

Gudako: "All the points spent on this will be covered by me... and I owe Mr. Aizen a huge favor! If you ever need assistance in the future,

I will give you my full support."

Although Gudako knew Aizen certainly didn't lack points, she said this anyway.

After all, she had only recently joined Jiarugong Society and wasn't familiar with Aizen.

She couldn't take others' kindness for granted.

Dr. Roman: "Yes! I also owe you a favor... though now, with me being this useless,

I probably can't offer you any help!"

As he spoke, Dr. Roman sank into gloom again.

Aizen Sōjirō: "No need for that! I've obtained a specimen of the Demon Pillar.

That alone has been a highly satisfying gain... But when I dispose of the Demon Pillar, will Mr. Solomon object?"

Dr. Roman: "... Whatever you wish to do with it, it's entirely up to you."

Su Xiao Xiao: "Alright, let's not drag this on.

Aizen, I need to speak with you."

Aizen Sōjirō: "What does the President wish of me?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "It's about my sister! You know my sister is a regular Reincarnator, correct? She's currently on a mission in the Shinigami world."

Aizen Sōjirō: "... Is that so? I understand."

Aizen Sōjirō: "I'll perform the Search Ritual immediately.

I will find your sister's location at the fastest possible speed."

Ti Qie Hui Li: "... Search Ritual.

What kind of Kidō is that?"

Ti Qie Hui Li looked utterly bewildered; the name sounded oddly out of place with the Shinigami world's power system.

Aizen Sōjirō: "It's not part of the Shinigami world's power system—it's the power channeled from the Demon God power I inherited."

........... Aizen Sōjirō: "I'm currently studying Yhwach's remains... With the Demon God power, combined with Yhwach's remnants, I've developed a new path of advancement."
