Chapter 323: The method of clearing Lu Li’s name

Seireitei, 5th Division barracks.

Aizen sat in the courtyard and leisurely sipped his afternoon tea. After making sure that all the team members had completed their reports and left, he took out the communication device that Lu Li had given him.

"Mr. Lu, are the things I sent still useful?"

A few days ago, Lu Li contacted him and asked him to help make a device that could suppress or devour spiritual pressure.

After communication, he learned that Lu Jun had actually found a real Vastod, and judging from his spiritual pressure, he was much stronger than the King of Hueco Mundo.

Curiosity made Aizen want to go to Hueco Mundo in person, because Lu Jun also explained during the call that the Hollow named Stark had plans to create an Arrancar on his own.

If possible, Aizen hopes to personally observe the process of his Arrancar.

During the conversation, he learned that because Stark's spiritual pressure was too powerful and uncontrollable, he would unconsciously kill the weak Hollows who approached him, which led to his loneliness.

Stark seems to believe that through autonomous Arrancar, his power can be effectively controlled and sealed. This conjecture is similar to Aizen's previous theory of the Hollow becoming a Death God.

If he hadn't been busy with many things in Seireitei, he would have gone straight to Hueco Mundo to meet Stark.

Unfortunately, things have different orders of magnitude and priorities, and the thing he needs to deal with most urgently right now is the arrangements related to Lu Li's return.

"It's quite useful and looks very fashionable. Stark likes it very much and asked me to thank Sosuke on his behalf. He is also very interested in your powerful companion."

Lu Li's voice came from the communicator, "By the way, Sosuke, you said that I can return to Soul Society, is that true?"

"It will take some time, but it will be ready soon."

Aizen took a sip of tea, his tone relaxed.

"That's great, but Sosuke, you didn't do anything risky, did you?"

Lu Li asked.

"Don't worry. I won't act rashly before I have enough power to overthrow Soul Society. I just helped you in Soul Society in advance."

Aizen said, "Do you remember Yoruichi?"

"Shihouin Yoruichi? What does this have to do with her?"

Lu Li in Hueco Mundo was a little confused. He recalled the appearance of the young girl version of Yoruichi in his mind.

In Soul Society, the growth rate of souls is not one tenth of that in the real world. Although Rukia said that she is still a girl compared to humans, that was referring to the comparison of lifespans.

In fact, the growth rate of souls born in Soul Society is only slightly slower than that of ordinary people in the real world, and there is not much difference.

Therefore, since Yoruichi looked younger than him and Sosuke back then, he was indeed a little younger. According to calculations, Yoruichi might be just over a hundred years old now.

The students at the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy usually appear to be young people. Yoruichi was admitted to the school because he has an aristocratic background and had some interest in the academy.

Although Ye Yi in the later life was also a master, but considering his age, Lu Li did not take Ye Yi's strength seriously during this mission world journey.

"She is now the commander-in-chief of the secret mobile forces and the commander of the first squad of criminal troops."

Aizen's words almost made Lu Li, who was drinking Coke in Space, spit it out.

“What!? Isn’t Soul Society too corrupt!?”

Lu Li couldn't help but want to complain. He thought, Ye Yi is only a little over a hundred years old. In terms of strength, he is at most a rubbish captain. How come he has become the commander-in-chief of the secret mobile force?
"After all, she is a noble. Lu Jun, although Soul Society is relatively corrupt, the current corruption may allow you to return early."

Aizen said with a smile. To be honest, he did not look down on Yoruichi who inherited the "family property" by virtue of his noble status, because the commander-in-chief of the secret mobility has been the Shihouin family for generations. This is no secret in the Soul Society and everyone is used to it.

Even after becoming an adult, Yoruichi still showed amazing talent, his spiritual pressure increased rapidly, and his Hakuto skills crushed everyone in the Gotei 13. After inheriting the position of head of the family, it was reasonable for him to accept Xing Jun.

However, when it comes to hard power, Aizen also feels that the current Yoruichi is a little lacking, and can only be said to have a promising future. Judging from Yoruichi's age and talent, the other party can still grow for at least another hundred years before reaching his limit.

"Is the Shihouin family reliable? Sosuke, the method you mentioned is not to bribe the nobles, right? Will it really work?"

Lu Li was somewhat puzzled, thinking that the power of the nobles in Soul Society was actually quite confusing.

After all, in the original work, when Urahara Kisuke was wrongly accused of a crime, Shihouin Yoruichi was already the captain of the second division and the commander of the Xing Corps, and she was also the head of a noble family. But in this situation, Shihouin Yoruichi could not protect Urahara Kisuke, and could only go into exile with him.

But if you say that the nobles have no power, it seems not to be the case. In certain matters in Soul Society, their privileges are very obvious.

"It's useful. I promised Ye Yi that if I can get you back safely, I'll let her beat you up. She's been trying to figure out a way these days."

Aizen said with a grin.

"Sosuke, you actually sold me out!"

Lu Li's voice became a little higher, "With your personality, you would actually ask Ye Yi for help on something like this? Wouldn't that seem suspicious?"

"We are all classmates, and we were just communicating normally. I only said that I found clues about you during the search and rescue process of the Fifth Division, and I did not explain your current situation. I just asked her to help save people. As for the detention and interrogation after returning, Mr. Lu, who do you think usually does this kind of thing?"

Aizen asked back. In fact, he didn't have much contact with Yoruichi on weekdays. He basically had no contact with her after graduation. He just went over to test the waters a little. He didn't expect Yoruichi to be so positive.

"Wait, it seems to be Xing Jun!?"

Lu Li reacted, "Sosuke, you really are a genius!"

He suddenly understood that Aizen's actions made sense. He wanted to bypass the Forty-sixth Chamber and treat his disappearance as a small matter.

After all, to put it bluntly, he was just an ordinary soldier many years ago, not a heavyweight figure. Even if he was known as a genius and was very popular for a while, he would never be the focus of the 46th Room.

When he and Aizen were thinking about the problem before, they had a little preconceived idea, because they both felt that Lu Li was a powerful captain-level figure, and the fact that he had survived 70 years of exile in the Hueco Mundo was also a manifestation of his strength, which was something worthy of attention.

But after Aizen went back and thought about it for a while, he felt that there was a new solution to this problem, that is, why should Lu Li be treated as a strong man?

Wouldn't it be possible for them to solve the problem perfectly by simply following the covert and mobile process?

The secret mobile force is divided into five teams, among which the fourth team, namely the flying team, is originally responsible for searching for the missing Grim Reaper.

Simply put, Lu Li's disappearance was not something that a rescue squad like the Fifth Squad should handle, but rather something that the covert and mobile Flying Squad should be responsible for searching and rescuing.

Taking into account Lu Li's special situation, interrogation is inevitable after finding Lu Li, and this process is also the responsibility of the Secret Mobile Team. Even if Lu Li really has problems or is suspicious, he will be guarded by the Secret Mobile Team's third team and the supervision team and sent to the Worm's Nest.

And who is the boss in all this process? Isn't it Shifengyuan Yoruichi?
As long as Shifengyuan Yoruichi is willing to cooperate, Lu Li can be extradited back as an ordinary missing death god, and he can be cleared of all charges by going through the procedures of the secret mobile force.

"Don't rush to praise me. Yoruichi is happy to help. Anyway, with her strength, she will most likely suffer if she competes with you. I just promised her casually."

Aizen said, changing the subject, "But she is a little too active in this matter, and she also wants to lead the team to Hueco Mundo herself. I still have to work hard to convince her not to act rashly. Anyway, Lu Jun, you don't have much time. What are the results now?"

The two returned to the topic. It would certainly be a good thing for Lu Li to be extradited back to Soul Society, and Aizen would also want to communicate and exchange ideas with his good friend on a daily basis.

But the problem is that the operation in Hueco Mundo is the focus of their original plan. If they let Lu Li withdraw without establishing a good base, it would be a bit of a loss.

"Don't worry, give me another week, and I will give Sosuke a brand new Kyonyaku."

Lu Li said confidently, already looking forward to the days after returning to Soul Society.

"Then leave it to Lu Jun."

Aizen said with a smile, and after the call between the two was cut off, he stood up and walked out of the 5th Division's barracks.

The Soul Society has been in turmoil lately, so he plans to go out and investigate some things.

On the other side, inside the Hueco Mundo, Lu Li put away the communicator and looked at the row of dominoes in front of him with a serious expression.

He observed the expressions of the other people and carefully drew out a card.

"Confused!"

Ni Lu excitedly pushed down the dominoes in front of her, or rather, the mahjong tiles that Lu Li made using the Daxu mask.

Lu Li felt a little embarrassed. He had made another mistake. He didn't expect that he would lose so badly in just a "team building" entertainment activity.

"Why do you always win? I'm starting to feel sleepy."

Stark yawned. Although he didn't lose much, because of the cannon rules, he was just a runner-up in many games.

Oh, by the way, the person who fired the most shots was Lu Li.

"This doesn't make sense, Nilu, you're not using any abilities, are you?"

Xiao Wu also looked at Nilu with some confusion. After he understood the rules of the game, he calculated the probabilities in his mind every time, thinking that he was constantly optimizing the card pattern, and theoretically his winning rate should not be low.

But the reality is, although he won a few times, most of the time it was Nero who won, and Stark only won once.

Oh, Mr. Lu has never won a single game.

"What are you talking about, Xiao Wu, don't just refuse to pay after you lose."

Ni Lu said with a puffed face, and then rushed to Lu Li, "Give me the pen, I want to start drawing!"

As Ni Lu spoke, she had already snatched the pen that Lu Li was holding tightly, and began to touch Lu Li's face, "Hmm... It seems to be already full, it's really hard to start."

As virtual beings and gods of death, they naturally had no useful monetary chips to use as bets, so the damn Pei Xue made a suggestion that the loser would have graffiti on his face by the winner.

Originally, Lu Li thought it was a big deal and just considered it as a small jackpot. After all, everyone was just playing around in the base and no one would go out with ink on their shoulders.

But he later found out... that he couldn't win a single game, and as a result, his face was now really 'black', covered with all kinds of graffiti, among which Nilu's were the most numerous and the most excessive.

If Xiao Wu won, she would just draw a small line on his face. Stark was very considerate and just made a dot. But it was different with Nilu. She would draw small patterns every time, and they were never the same!
Little turtles, bear faces, pig noses and the like were painted all over Lu Li’s face.

"Sun Sun, how dare you draw a beard on Lady Harribel's face!"

There was also a roar from the table next to us.

The lion-like Xu roared in a rough female voice. She raised her paw to hit the pen in the mouth of the white python, obviously thinking that the other party's behavior was a serious blasphemy.

"Haha, Ross, don't be so serious. Lady Harribel has already agreed."

The white python dodged with a laugh.

"Hey, two idiots."

The deer-like Hollow sighed, and turned to look at the blonde woman sitting on the inside of the mahjong table, "Lady Harribel, is it really okay for us to not go hunting and just do stupid things like this here?"

The blonde woman has brown skin, green eyes, and the mountains on her upper body are very eye-catching. If you want to compare the heights of the mountains, only Nilu can compete with her.

Her upper body was covered with white armor like clothing, but the armor did not look very defensive, after all, it was too little.

Harribel looked at the quarreling partners, with no expression on her face, but a hint of smile in her eyes, "Sunsun, Ross, stop making trouble and follow the rules of the game."

"Ah, Li, you're cheating!"

As soon as Harribel finished speaking, Nelue's voice came from the other table, saying that the initiator of this game was cheating.

Lu Li used his spiritual pressure to expel the ink on his face with a serious face, "I've already asked you to finish the painting, Nilu, we should get down to business."

Well, he had had enough of the torture of this game. He swore that he would never play this kind of mahjong again in his life. Come to think of it, he didn't seem to have won when playing cards with his master and senior sister before.

Lu Li stood up and adjusted his newly restored Night Walker coat, then waved to everyone, "Game time is over, someone is urging us to get down to business."

A month had passed since he came to the world of Death. During these days, he had been wandering around Hueco Mundo, recruiting all the powerful Hollows he encountered into his group. He recruited Harribel into the group after meeting her last week.

He did a good job in the tasks that Sosuke asked him to do, and he didn't just slack off every day.

Lu Li led many powerful men from the Hueco Mundo out of the temporary base and looked at the ruins of the so-called Hueco Mundo Palace in the distance.

The wind blew the dust and sand, lifting the corners of the clothes of the night walkers.

Behind Lu Li, there stood a number of powerful figures.

Lu Li took the first step, with the corner of his clothes slightly lifted up, "Let's go, let's take down Xuye Palace."

　In the original animation, there is a picture of He Jie's broken front form, which is a tightly wrapped shark, but I feel that the return blade form should be the closest to the original appearance, so I followed this setting.
