Chapter 131 The Person in the Mirror and the Zanpakuto
"Because I didn't want to alert the enemy, I didn't take action immediately, but instead withdrew to conduct further investigation."
"Is this related to the Shiba family?"
"That's right. Although there's no apparent connection, our investigation revealed that this courtyard originally belonged to a subordinate family of the Shiba clan. However, during the Blood Moon Disaster, all the lower-ranking nobles perished, and the courtyard was left unoccupied."
"However, after observing for a long time, I didn't find anyone entering it, but that demonic barrier must have been set up by some demonic master in the Soul Society!"
"That means there is no clear evidence." Yamamoto shook his head, not immediately suspecting the Shiba clan.
Hyakuya Shihouin is a member of the Shihouin family, one of the five great noble families, and has the same status as the Shiba family, so there's no problem with her saying whatever she wants.
However, it is indeed a bit far-fetched to suspect the Shiba family based solely on the existence of a small subordinate noble family compound.
Yamamoto knew that the five noble families were actually a whole, but there were many disagreements among them.
The Shiba family, in particular, has been targeted for countless years.
Ultimately, it all comes down to the conflict between the five progenitors.
The Shiba family opposed the sneak attack on the Spirit King, and also opposed using the Spirit King as a wedge to divide the three realms.
However, the other four parties all agree with this point and have already taken action. If you then express your opposition, it will inevitably make people think you are a traitor.
Although the five of them continued their bloodline and existed as the five great noble families, the Tsunayo family, as the head of the five great noble families, always had conflicts with the Shiba family.
Therefore, it was quite normal for Shihouin Hyakuya to target the Shiba family, but Yamamoto did not want to get involved in the conflicts between these great noble families.
Chihiro Shihōin shook her head: "This matter is indeed difficult to handle, but it will be hard to find the problem if the Gotei 13 doesn't get involved. How about this, I will conduct my own investigation, which has nothing to do with the Gotei 13."
It's right that the Gotei 13 didn't get involved. After all, the Shiba family is one of the five great noble families. Even if they are not on good terms internally, they should still try their best to protect the common interests of the five great noble families when dealing with external matters.
After all, she was from the Shihouin family, not the Tsunayoshiro family. The Tsunayoshiro family might have some problems with their genetic inheritance; from the ancestor to the present, almost every generation in the family has had one or two people with mental illnesses.
What a madman might do is something no one could possibly imagine.
Shihōin Senji felt it was better to investigate this matter privately himself. His purpose in coming here was not really to get Yamamoto involved, but rather to stop Yamamoto's investigation, and also to stop Saitō's investigation.
In this way, even if she finds out something, she can resolve it within the nobility. It's just a few peasants dying, which isn't a big deal. The biggest problem is the suspected existence of a virtualization experiment.
For a noblewoman like her who emerged from the most chaotic period of Soul Society, kindness and justice are nonexistent.
Just as Katarina said before, she could not possibly be a kind person if she could become the leader, the commander of the Execution Army, and the captain of the 13th Division of the Gotei 13 in such an era.
After leaving the First Division, Shihouin Senhisa had only walked a few dozen meters when she suddenly stopped again.
She stood still, her hand already on the Zanpakuto at her waist.
At the same time, Shihouin Senhi felt a tremor in his heart, as if something had entered his heart.
In the world of her Zanpakuto, Aizen attempted to hypnotize her Zanpakuto.
However, when Aizen's Muramasa entered this spiritual world belonging to the Zanpakuto, he discovered that it was a huge mirror space, and in this space, there was a man!
Sifengyuan Thousand Days!
This is different from the "Shihōin Hyakuya" outside; this is the genuine male Shihōin Chihiro, and this is the person in her mirror!
Those who follow the Witch Path will generate their own Mirror Image at Sequence Seven, recording what they looked like before becoming a witch.
Upon seeing him, Aizen immediately showed a look of realization.
After Aizen transmigrated into Kuchiki Kyouga, Muramasa's appearance changed back to his former form, which indicates that the degree of his fusion was quite high.
Especially since the two's abilities are essentially very similar, and given that Aizen had already reached the state of oneness with his sword in his previous life, Aizen has now achieved a deep fusion with Muramasa.
The outward manifestation is that Muramasa has transformed into his appearance, which can actually be described as a kind of clone of Aizen.
Previously, Muramasa and Kuchiki Kyoga could be considered two independent individuals. Although they had a certain telepathic connection, it was limited by distance, and if one of them was not in a good state, the connection could be severed.
But now, what Muramasa sees is the same as what Aizen sees; Muramasa is Aizen.
This is what is meant by "the blade is me".
Aizen knew that Shihouin had been missing for a thousand days and had also guessed about the identity of Shihouin Hyakuya that had appeared afterward. Now, seeing her inner world, Aizen was basically certain of his guess.
This Shihōin Hyakuya is actually Shihōin Senri, except that for unknown reasons she has become a woman.
Aizen attempted to hypnotize the person in the mirror, but the person in the mirror was different from the other Zanpakuto, showing a strong resistance to Muramasa's hypnosis!
So it really doesn't work?
Aizen was not surprised by this, and simply withdrew.
Both Saito Immortal and Shihouin Sennatsu drank the Assassin's Potion. Muramasa couldn't even see into the former's mind, while the latter's Zanpakuto became part of his body and also resisted hypnosis.
It must be the effect of the potion from this route.
After Aizen retrieved Muramasa, he immediately slashed at him with his sword.
He was very interested in Shihouin Chihiro, who had become a woman, and wanted to study her body and also to study the power of the potion in depth.
"Who goes there?!"
At that moment, Shihouin Senhi let out a low shout, his pupils dilating in the next instant. He immediately turned around, but only saw a dark shadow. The next moment—
puff!
Shihouin Senhi felt a burning pain in her chest as a Zanpakuto slashed directly at her!
"Well!"
Shihouin Senji groaned, and then her consciousness began to blur. She tried her best to see who did it, but in the end she could only see a man in a black cloak.
She lost consciousness the next moment!
"Wait a minute!"
Aizen grabbed the collapsing Shihouin Senhi and was about to leave when a loud shout came from behind him!
At this moment, it was still the First Division's area, which was practically like arresting someone right in front of Yamamoto Genryusai's door. As the Captain-Commander, there was no way he wouldn't notice!
