Chapter 317: Aizen's 'soft-hearted'
"I handled things very carefully. I can't say it was perfect, but I think I could have kept it secret."

Aizen said seriously, "If everything goes well, you will be able to return to the Fifth Division soon."

Hearing this, Lu Li joked, "So you're waiting for me here, Sosuke. Doesn't that mean I'll be working under you in the future?"

"Given Mr. Lu's aggressive personality, I'm afraid he will be promoted to captain soon."

Aizen said with a grin.

Lu Li waved his hand, "No more joking, this kind of thing is too risky for you. Didn't Sosuke tell you before that you concealed your strength for personal reasons? I don't want to drag you down because of my own affairs and ruin your ideals."

Then, he said seriously: "Why don't you talk about another plan."

"Oh?"

While Aizen was slightly moved, he was also very curious that Lu Li could see that he had a plan B. "Mr. Lu seems to be better at thinking than before."

Lu Li was a little unhappy when he heard this, "I have always been good at thinking, right? It's just that you are too smart, Sosuke. I think it's more convenient to ask you directly about some things."

"Hey, that's why I said, Mr. Lu, you trust me too much. Isn't the pressure on me?"

Aizen looked at Lu Li speechlessly.

He knew that most creatures would believe in a being that was superior to themselves. In this way, the trusted person would seek a higher being in order to escape this heavy pressure, and the higher being would desire a stronger being that was even more superior and trustworthy.

In this way, all kings are born.

He had never asked Lu Li to believe him, but now he didn't want to ask Lu Jun not to believe him.

"Trust is always mutual. Trust and dependence are like the weak relying on the strong. But I think true friends can rely on each other. So don't feel pressured, Sosuke. I will also work hard to become stronger so that you can rely on me."

Lu Li said with a grin.

Aizen was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to adjust his glasses, "I am getting off topic, Lu Jun, let me tell you another plan."

Lu Li sat up straight, indicating that he was listening carefully.

"Earlier, Mr. Lu mentioned the limits of the Shinigami and the Hollows. In fact, I have also discovered this problem. Although I feel that I have not reached the limit yet, it is only a matter of time. I believe that with Mr. Lu's talent, the same will be true for you."

Aizen said, "So I was thinking, how can I break the limit between the Shinigami and the Hollow? After a long period of research, I have come to a preliminary conclusion, that is, the Hollowization of the Shinigami, and the Shinigamiization of the Hollow."

Lu Li forced out a surprised expression, "Is that so?"

Aizen was in a good mood at the moment, or perhaps because he could easily put down his mask in front of his school friends, he started to complain: "Lu Jun, your surprised expression is so fake... It seems that you have thought of it too."

"Well, I'm very interested in the evolution of Hollows, so I teamed up with Xiaowu and the others to observe the process of Achukas evolving into Vastold."

Lu Li spread his hands and said, "This is the interesting thing I want to show you."

"A Hollow that is about to evolve into Vastod... It is a rare research material and may be helpful to my research. It's a pity that I can't stay in Hueco Mundo for a long time. I'll trouble Lu Jun to record it for me later."

Aizen looked Lu Li in the eye and said, "Well, the basis of the second plan is that you, Lu-kun, will continue to stay in Hueco Mundo for the time being."

Lu Li was not surprised. Since he couldn't go back to Soul Society, he could only stay in Hueco Mundo or the human world.

Compared to the sparse spiritual particle environment in the real world, he felt that Hueco Mundo was better. At least it was convenient for him to practice.

After scaring off the Soul Singer, Bylergan was subdued by Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu, and the Hueco Mundo temporarily became a safe area, no worse than the training environment in Soul Society.

"Sure, I'm used to the environment here anyway. What can I do to help Sosuke?"

Lu Li agreed to Aizen's proposal and asked about the follow-up.

"Although it is a bit troublesome, Lu Jun, I hope you can help me control the Hueco Mundo, bring it under our management, and build a research institute."

Aizen said something that could shock the world as if nothing had happened, "After all, it is very inconvenient for me to move around in Soul Society. The Technical Development Department of the 12th Division was disbanded a few years ago, and it is difficult to borrow equipment. If I want to continue my research, I must have my own experimental base."

Lu Li thought about it after hearing this. He knew what the Technical Development Bureau of the 12th Division was. The original work said that the Technical Development Bureau was founded by Urahara Kisuke, but in fact, the Technical Development Bureau had existed for a long time, but it was disbanded in the middle.

Kisuke Urahara simply re-established the department and recruited some talented researchers, which later made the department very famous.

It goes without saying that as Sosuke's strength increases, he gradually understands the truth of the three realms, and his ambitions have begun to show.

In this situation, Sosuke would definitely think of ways to conduct research, but it would be inconvenient for him to hide his strength and plan big things in Soul Society, so Hueco Mundo became his only choice.

I'm afraid that this idea came to him a few years ago when Sosuke came to Hueco Mundo to subdue Bylergan, but after seeing me, he started the plan ahead of time.

"Of course, but I can't do research. I can only help Sosuke manage and find some talents and research materials."

Lu Li knew that there was another Vastod-class Hollow named Sal Apollo in the Hueco Mundo. He was the chief researcher under Aizen in the original work, and he could go look for him later.

"That would be perfect."

Aizen nodded and said, "By the way, Lu Jun didn't even ask me what I wanted to do with all this research?"

"You just want to become stronger. Even though Sosuke is already strong enough, in my understanding, the pursuit of strength will never be satisfied, and if you want to achieve your ideal, you should also need strong enough power to support you."

Lu Li said, "And I am just helping you as your friend."

"Even if my ideals may destroy the existing structure of Soul Society?"

Aizen asked back.

"As long as they don't kill my friends and those who have done me a favor, it doesn't matter. Anyway, as Sosuke said, the upper echelons of Soul Society are rotten to the core."

Lu Li stretched his body and said, "In order to avoid being scolded by everyone when I return to Soul Society one day, I think it's better for the inherent system of the Central 46th Room to be gone." Aizen smiled when he heard it, "Mr. Lu, you always say shocking things. Why didn't I feel that you were so 'rebellious' when you were in school?"

"Hey, you've been planning a rebellion for so many years, and you're still saying I'm a traitor? Even if I've changed, it was because of you, Sosuke."

Lu Li said with a smile. He was not worried that Aizen would disagree with him on a crucial point.

As far as he knew, Sosuke was not a thorough villain in the original work, and he was actually quite "soft-hearted".

Just say that the anime has been around for hundreds of episodes, and in the entire battle related to Aizen, the Thirteen Court Gotoku Squadrons in Soul Society, including the Masked Corps, the forces hostile to Aizen, the ones with names and surnames, it seems like... none of them died!

Instead, Tosen, who followed Aizen, was stabbed before his death, and Ichimaru Gin was killed by Aizen because of his betrayal.

And the vice-captain of the 5th Division, Momo Hinamori, who truly admired Aizen, also did not die.

When Lu Li was watching the anime, he was very confused. He thought to himself, how come Aizen Sosuke, such an awesome god of death, could not kill Hinamori Momo even after stabbing her in person?
Later, after he met Aizen in the world of Bleach, he began to understand that Sosuke was not truly cold-blooded and heartless. He just didn't open his heart to others and lived alone in his world of genius.

In fact, if he really wanted to kill Momo Hinamori, would he fail? He wouldn't even need to draw his sword, there are ten thousand ways to kill Momo Hinamori in an instant.

But in fact, Hinamori Momo was not dead, so it is very intriguing that Aizen stabbed her at that time.

As a result, Lu Li could only think that Aizen looked down on Hinamori Momo's fighting ability and weak character, but he also didn't want the death of his adjutant who admired him.

Just imagine that as the captain of the 5th Division, he caused such a big rebellion in Soul Society. Afterwards, would Soul Society let Hinamori Momo, the vice-captain of the 5th Division, go?

I guess even if Hinamori Momo said she didn't know, the Soul Society's top leaders wouldn't believe it. After all, as the vice-captain, she theoretically followed Aizen every day.

In this situation, if Aizen wants Hinamori Momo to survive and continue living in Soul Society, he can only stab her as proof of the distance between them.

He kept saying all kinds of cruel words, inciting the hatred of Hitsugaya Toshiro, and even messed with Hinamori Momo during the final battle in Karakura Town.

As a result, Hinamori Momo was not held accountable by the Soul Society at all, and was even treated as a victim and protected.

After thinking this through, Lu Li's eyes towards Aizen in the dormitory changed a little, and he felt that under this guy's cold appearance, there was a "gentle" heart that was never revealed.

There are other similar examples in the original work. For example, after the ten espadrilles were defeated one by one, the 30th espadrilles, He Jie, who was in a slump, was chopped down by Aizen with a single blow, and she still said something like "I never thought that so many people combined would be even worse than me alone."

In fact, Sosuke was a comprehensive thinker. When the battle reached that point, he did not think he could win 100%. So he abandoned the 30th Espada on the surface, but in essence he gave the 30th Espada a way out.

As a result, all the ten Espada who participated in the battle, including the First Espada, died. Only Sister Hugo survived and later became the King of Hueco Mundo.

It was even more outrageous that none of the captains who were enemies of Sosuke died in the battle of Karakura Town. Lu Li also found it outrageous when he saw it back then.

He initially reasoned that maybe Sosuke's knife wasn't sharp enough or he just didn't bother to kill those captains, but these reasonings didn't seem to make sense.

However, after further interacting with Sosuke, Lu Li came to an absurd but perhaps reasonable guess, that is, Sosuke was reluctant to kill those people he recognized, those rare "geniuses" who became captains, unless the other party posed a threat to his life or really angered him.

Judging from Sosuke's ideals, perhaps he is still thinking of becoming the new queen and letting the captains continue to help him run the Soul Society.

In short, Lu Li didn't think that his request was unacceptable to Aizen. Even if some of their future actions might make them hostile to the Soul Society, they could still not kill certain people in battle.

Well, it’s just some people. Lu Li’s scope is very small. After all, he is not familiar with all the captains. He only has relationships with a few of them in Soul Society.

"Mr. Lu has lived in Hueco Mundo for so many years, and his speech has become much more eloquent. When have I ever led you astray?"

Aizen smiled and said, "You were the problem child during the Spiritual Arts Academy days."

"It's just that you're a bit dark-hearted and don't show it."

Lu Li complained, and then he remembered something, his expression became serious, "By the way, Sosuke, you can study the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows, but you must not use the residents of Rukongai as experiments."

Aizen was a little confused when he heard this, "Does Lu-kun think I am that kind of person?"

"It doesn't seem like it now, but when people encounter resistance, they will want to break their own bottom line. Although I am not smart, I also know that the research on virtualization must be done through live experiments."

Lu Li said that to be honest he had no objection to Aizen's ideals, but if he were to bully innocent refugees, he would find it hard to accept it.

After all, many of the souls outside Rukongai are pitiful people. If they are captured and used for experiments, he will feel a little uncomfortable psychologically.

"What Mr. Lu said makes sense. I haven't researched to that level yet, but you also understand that this kind of research will not succeed without experiments."

Aizen didn't say that Lu Li was pedantic. At least at this moment he could understand Lu Li's persistence.

After all, he himself was born in Rukongai and knew where Lu Li came from. It was true that there might be some psychological barriers for them to attack the poor people in their birthplace.

"There is actually a more low-key and covert method, isn't there?"

Lu Li suggested: "We can find some dead souls of scumbags in the human world to do experiments. It will make less noise and won't easily attract the attention of the Gotei 13."

Aizen's eyes lit up, and this time he looked at Lu Li in genuine shock, "Mr. Lu, you can actually come up with such a solution!"

"I'll just take it as a compliment."

Aizen's eyes made Lu Li feel uncomfortable, as if he was saying 'You shouldn't have such an IQ'.

"Of course I'm praising Lu Jun. Your method is very good. It's difficult for the Shinigami to supervise the living world. It's much safer than conducting experiments in Soul Society."

Aizen thought, "It's just a little troublesome, but since Lu Jun has specifically reminded me, I will naturally not attack the residents of Rukongai."

Lu Li could tell from Sosuke's tone and attitude that if he hadn't reminded him, this guy would definitely attack the souls of Rukongai. It could only be said that he had some psychological barriers, but not much.
