Chapter 135 The black hand finally appears and the crisis comes!
A new Central 46th Room was formed.
Logically speaking, it has nothing to do with the Gotei 13.
This is nothing more than a redistribution of interests among the nobles.
The Central Forty-six Chambers have a high status. Even if all its members die, it will not affect the operation of the Soul Society's judicial system. As long as the group of nobles still exists, there will always be people who want to become members of the Central Forty-six Chambers.
Compared with responsibilities, power is more attractive.
But no one expected that the first thing the new Central 46th Office did after its establishment was to hold the Gotei 13 accountable, or to be more precise, the 12th Division accountable, and decided to abolish the "Technical Development Bureau".
According to the Central Office 46, the rapid development of technology is not a good thing, but will bring many hidden dangers.
The fact that Kuchiki Hibiki caused such a big stir in Soul Society was not unrelated to the Technology Development Bureau.
If it weren't for the "Reiha Towers" scattered throughout the Soul Society, Kuchiki Hibiki would not have been able to extend the influence of his Zanpakutō to the entire Soul Society and create chaos.
These things all happened within the Soul Society.
It seems secretive, but in fact, as long as you are willing to look for it, you can find clues.
Here, we have to mention the "Great Spirit Book Corridor" located in the basement of the Central 46th Room. This is a living history book. Everything that happens in the Soul Society will be passively recorded and turned into video material.
It's just because this thing is of great importance, and ordinary people are not qualified to view the video materials in it. To step into the corridor of the Great Spiritual Book, the unanimous consent of the Central Forty-Six Rooms is required.
And now, these video materials related to Kuchiki Hibiki have become evidence for the Central 46th Office to hold the 12th Division accountable.
Previously, the Central Office 46 supported the establishment of the Technology Development Bureau and provided a lot of assistance during the establishment of the Technology Development Bureau, greatly helping the Technology Development Bureau to promote those new inventions.
As a result, no one expected that the new Central Room 46 would actually start to reverse.
Prepare to abolish the Technology Development Bureau.
Of course, it was not abolished in the end.
The Kuchiki family and the Shihouin family both serve in the Gotei 13. No, there is also the Shiba family, which has been declining but has not fallen out of the ranks of the great nobles.
The Kuchiki family's reputation has been damaged because of the Kuchiki Hibiki incident, so they are unwilling to interfere in these matters.
But it is obvious that the Shihōin family and the Shiba family would not allow the Central Forty-Six Rooms to make such a decision.
The current head of the Shihouin family is Yoruichi, and the director of the Technology Development Bureau is Urahara Kisuke. Of course, she stands on Urahara Kisuke's side unconditionally.
As for the Shiba family, his reasons for coming forward are easier to understand.
The advancement of technology has gradually eliminated the gap between nobles and commoners. Even if you are in Rukongai, you can talk to people in Seireitei. Things like the Reiwa Tower took a lot of effort to build. It is an extremely convenient thing and should not be abolished.
The existence of the Technology Development Bureau also has its significance.
Kuchiki Hibiki used the Reiwa Tower to influence the entire Gotei 13. This was just an accident.
After all, no one had ever thought that there would be such a strange knife.
Even the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber, when faced with the two great nobles, finally chose to back down.
In the end, things like the Technology Development Bureau and Lingbo Tower were saved.
However, the management of Lingbo Tower was transferred from the Technology Development Bureau to the Central 46th Office.
The 12th Division's authority to monitor the entire Soul Society with the help of the Reiwa Tower was taken away.
……
"Then you don't have to worry about those things anymore."
At the Tsunayashiro family, Tsunayashiro Tokio looked at the person in front of him and spoke calmly.
"Really? Don't worry?" The man in front of Tsunayashiro Tokisei asked the man who only had one arm but was in a very high position. "Urahara Kisuke is not a simple guy. He is very thoughtful. He has planted a monitoring device in the Reiwa Tower. With it, he can monitor the movements of every Shinigami in the Seireitei. At the same time, he can also capture the soul veins of those souls living in Rukongai who have the qualifications of Shinigami."
"Things are different now. Rukongai is no longer a hidden place. Even though you manipulated the Central 46 through the turmoil caused by Kuchiki Hibiki and took the opportunity to deprive Urahara Kisuke of his authority to monitor Soul Society, no one can say for sure whether he has noticed something."
"Besides that, he has several powerful helpers."
After he finished speaking, the man couldn't help but think of some of his past experiences.
He searched for souls with the qualifications of being a god of death in Rukongai and extracted their souls. He wanted to gather a huge amount of power of the gods of death and try to use quantitative change to cause qualitative change to break the boundaries of the gods of death. However, he did not expect to meet a colleague in Rukongai.
The original plan was to get rid of the other party.
However, he heard some "shocking theories" from the other party, and later became a "cooperative" partner with the other party.
Although I chose to cooperate with the other party.
But he did not believe the person in front of him.
I'm just a little curious, wondering what the head of this noble family wants to do.
As for the other party knowing my identity? My handle fell into the hands of the other party?
He didn't care at all.
The ability of Mirror Flower and Water Moon allows him to have proof of his alibi at any time.
All accusations against him are, in essence, slander.
"Urahara Kisuke was born into a lower-class noble family affiliated with the Shihoin family. Previously, he was a Shinigami of the Second Division and the head of the Shihoin family. He is one of his helpers. In addition to them, there is that... Kenpachi." Tsunayashiro Tokio knew who the man in front of him was referring to as Urahara Kisuke's helper.
There was a hint of strangeness in his words, "This time, Kuchiki Hibiki was defeated by Kenpachi."
"What a formidable warrior! If it weren't for him, Kuchiki Hibiki would have caused even greater unrest in the Seireitei."
"Natsuki Kenpachi is more than just a strong person." The man in front of Tsunayashiro Tokio had a different opinion. After the trip to Hueco Mundo, he began to pay attention to Natsuki. Thinking of some things about Natsuki, he subconsciously adjusted his glasses. "Now, the ideas for these things made by Urahara Kisuke are all provided by this Natsuki Kenpachi."
"If he continues to exist, no one knows how many new things will be created."
"His existence has played a role in promoting the technological advancement of Soul Society."
At this point, his words stopped abruptly.
Tsunayashiro Tokisei understood what the other party meant, "Sometimes, the progress of the times is not a good thing for us."
"The change in technology means that it is extremely difficult for us to hide in the dark as we did in the past."
"Although this Kenpachi has made many contributions, since he is a threat to us, there is no need for him to continue to exist!"
The two people looked at each other.
The atmosphere was filled with the smell of conspiracy.
……
Xia Mu originally thought that after the new Central Office 46 was established, it would only be a step in reverse.
Abolish the Technology Development Bureau.
At the same time, the Reiwa towers scattered throughout Seireitei were demolished.
After these things were stopped by great nobles such as Shihouin and Shiba, they were left unresolved.
However, they didn't expect that this group of guys' mischief would not end there.
Xia Mu is handling team affairs in the 11th Squadron.
Suddenly I received a summons from Central Room 46.
Normally speaking, receiving a summons out of the blue should be a surprise and an unexpected event.
But Xia Mu didn't, as if these things were all within his expectations.
When he was brought to the door of the Central Room 46, as per convention, his Zanpakuto was first confiscated. Then, he continued to move forward and came to the underground meeting hall of the Central Room 46. This was also the first time that Xia Mu came to this place.
Although Xia Mu had been to Guanting Street several times before and had seen the magnificent building of Central Room 46 from afar, he had never entered Central Room 46 once.
He didn't really want to enter this place.
Because under normal circumstances, only sinners would step in and be judged.
Standing in the center of the underground meeting hall.
There are high steps all around.
Behind the many steps, there were figures hidden in the darkness. They wore strange hats with curtains hanging in front of them, covering their faces.
There were forty-six people in total.
The six at the highest position are the judges, and the forty below them are the forty sages.
"Xia Mu, do you admit your guilt?"
After Xia Mu came here, a judge suddenly asked Xia Mu in a stern voice.
As they spoke, the eyes of the other forty-five people all fell on Xia Mu.
Being stared at by so many people, especially those from the Central 46th Chamber, the highest judicial body in Soul Society, would definitely be a huge pressure for an ordinary person. However, Xia Mu only raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. Deep down, he didn't feel any pressure at all.
"What crime have I committed?"
He asked in a calm tone towards the Central 46th Room.
"You colluded with Kuchiki Hibiki, brought chaos to Soul Society, and assisted him in slaughtering the Central Forty-Six Chambers. These are your crimes!"
Another wise man revealed Xia Mu’s “crime”.
"After investigation, we found that Kuchiki Hibiki, who was originally imprisoned in the Palace of Confession, got help from an outsider to regain his Zanpakutō and leave the Palace of Confession. This person is you!"
"After Kuchiki Hibiki escaped, he killed the nobles who framed him because of the hatred in his heart. Then, under your instigation, he massacred the Central Forty-Six Chambers."
Before Kuchiki Hibiki was executed, Kuchiki Ginrei also found evidence that the noble death gods framed Kuchiki Hibiki. Unfortunately, by then Kuchiki Hibiki had already slaughtered the Central Forty-Six Rooms. Even if he found evidence, he could not clear his guilt.
For the sake of the Kuchiki family's honor, Kuchiki Ginrei could only advocate the execution of Kuchiki Xianghe.
This is not a story about abusing the main character. The struggle between the Aizen group and the Aizen group is about to begin.
