Chapter 387: Reversal of Aizen
As time approaches the maximum stay limit in the world of death, there are only a few explorers left in Soul Society.

But they were still very surprised when they heard that there would be a rare trial against the Gotei Captain today.

When they found out that the person on trial was Lu Li, most of them felt gloating. After all, in their opinion, Lu Li was having a blast in the world of death, and everything was going too smoothly.

Now the truth has been revealed, right?
Of course, some people don't think so, such as a certain arbitrator who has already smelled something unusual from this incident.

Mandala didn't think that the Tsunayashiro family would take Riku's sword for no reason. This would not be good for Tsunayashiro Tokinada. Even if he was an evil pleasure criminal, he was still a member of the ruling class. There was no need to shake the foundation of the Gotei 13 at this time.

So she thought that this was the result of a deal, and the only person who would prompt Tsunayashiro Tokinada to specifically target Lu Li could only be the remaining violator.

She had also been searching for the opponent for a long time, but unfortunately, she failed to find him at the beginning. Moreover, Gu Qiusha was a well-known violator, and at least ten judges had died at his hands. Even if she found him, she might not be able to defeat him.

Although it was regrettable, she could only wait and see the outcome of this trial. She believed that with Aizen by his side, Lu Li would not be knocked to the ground by the first wave of attacks from the violators.

Now that turmoil has arisen in the Soul Society, the captain of the 11th Division, Riku Kenpachi, will be interrogated by the 46th Chamber. Depending on the circumstances, this interrogation may turn into a trial.

When the news spread, not only were the soldiers of the 11th Division furious, but many soldiers in the division who were familiar with Lu Li also felt aggrieved.

In the previous battle, Lu Li arrived like a hurricane and killed a large number of powerful Quincy members, thus saving the lives of many soldiers in disguise.

All of this was seen by the Gotei Corps. Having been saved by Lu Li, they certainly did not want to see their captain being tried.

For a time, rumors spread everywhere. Because the reason for interrogating Lu Li was not made public, the team members began to make wild guesses.

It was said that Lu Li was brought in for questioning because he sparred with the vice-captain of the 11th Division every day and his outbursts of spiritual pressure were very disturbing to the neighbors.

However, this statement was not accepted by most people. After all, there were no casualties, and it was not the turn of the Central Office 46 to deal with such matters.

However, many people think that if it is really just such a small matter, then it would be fine, at least Captain Lu would not be convicted.

While everyone in the Soul Society was discussing the matter, in the trial room of the Central Room 46, Lu Li walked into the room as a suspect and stood in the middle of a round wooden cabinet.

“What a grand ceremony.”

Lu Li smiled and sighed, the old guys in the central room 46 above all wore masks, mostly to conceal their identities.

After all, they don't stay underground all the time. Some of them will occasionally return to their families to avoid disclosure of their identities, which is a good way to protect themselves.

However, this behavior is nothing more than covering one's ears and stealing the bell in the eyes of captains such as Lu Li, because the truly strong people never rely on looking at others' faces to distinguish their identities. They only need to feel the spiritual pressure to know the other person's identity.

"quiet!"

Above, a sage from Room 46 spoke up: "Lu Li, make sure you understand your position. You can only speak when we ask questions."

Lu Li shrugged and looked at his own lawyer in another round cabinet not far away. "Sosuke, is this the rule?"

Aizen stood there with a straight body and a friendly smile on his face. He looked up at the sages of the Forty-Six Chambers and said, "According to the laws of the Soul Society, Lu Jun is only a suspect and has not been convicted. He is currently cooperating with the sages in the investigation according to the procedures and should not be restricted by freedom of speech."

"Aizen Sosuke..."

A sage on the podium spoke in a low voice, obviously dissatisfied with Aizen's remarks, but when he wanted to refute, he remembered that it was indeed according to the rules.

This young-looking vice-captain was actually more familiar with the law than they were. As defenders of the law, they naturally could not refute Aizen at this time, otherwise they would be slapping themselves in the face.

"Oh, it seems I can say whatever I want."

Lu Li grinned and waved to the captains who were judging the case in the back, "Don't be so serious, I haven't done anything to threaten the Soul Society, just ask whatever the sages ask."

Captain Yamamoto, who was sitting in the center of the jury box, had a gloomy expression on his face. As the captain of the Gotei 13, he was of course the first person to receive Lu Li's arrest warrant.

At the same time, he also knew the reasons for arresting Lu Li this time. The Central 46th Office believed that Lu Li was suspected of colluding with the Hueco Mundo, violating taboos by attempting to become a hollow as a Shinigami, and intending to rebel.

Well, it was just a suspicion, but because these possible crimes were too serious, in order to prevent the suspect from actually being guilty and absconding, Room 46 directly issued an arrest warrant and conducted a strong interrogation.

From the perspective of the captain, he had watched Lu Li grow up, so he certainly felt that the charges brought by the Central Office 46 were ridiculous.

However, one thing that is difficult to explain so far is why Lu Li's Bankai was not taken away in the final battle. No one would think that the Quincy leader was a fool, but in the end the opponent was killed by Lu Li's Bankai.

According to Captain Hikifune's research, if the characteristics of the Hollow exist within the Reishi, the Bankai will not be taken away because the power of the Hollow is poisonous to the Quincy.

Central Office 46 had reasonable reasons to suspect Lu Li, and because Lu Li's target was bigger, he directly brought his past events to the table this time.

How did Lu Li survive his 70 years of exile in Hueco Mundo? Did he gain the power of Hollowification in the process and collude with the forces of Hueco Mundo?

Captain-General Yamamoto rejected the proposal of the Central 46th Office as soon as he received the news, but this time the Central 46th Office was surprisingly strong and did not give him, the captain-general, any face at all.

Instead, they specially sent a messenger to communicate with him, meaning that they were only interrogating him and were not trying to prove Lu Li's guilt. If Lu Li was impeccable in the public inquiry, then of course Lu Li would be acquitted.

And because it is an open interrogation, it can completely clear Lu Li of suspicion, and no one can gossip about him anymore.

Captain Yamamoto agreed reluctantly because he believed that Lu Li had no intention of threatening Soul Society. However, looking at the posture of the Central 46th Room today, it didn't look like an inquiry at all, but more like a trial of a criminal.

This made Captain-General Yamamoto very dissatisfied. He was not a person who would protect his shortcomings, but he felt that the actions of the Central 46th Room had really crossed the line.

"Captain Lu, please end this boring interrogation as soon as possible. I have to go back and train new soldiers today."

Rokuguruma Kensi said, and it was obvious from his words that he trusted Lu Li very much. On that day when his Bankai was taken away, he thought he was going to die in the battle, and it was Lu Li's arrival that saved his life.

He didn't dare to say that he was very good at judging people, but he felt that Lu Li was a very good man and would never harbor any dirty intentions.

"Captain Lu, do you want to spar with me after this? I have recently developed a new style." Unohana said with a smile, and the aura she exuded did not seem like that of a support staff at all.

"This is really troublesome. Is this kind of interrogation really necessary? If Captain Lu had the intention of treason, the Soul Society should have been destroyed that day, right?"

Kyoraku Shunsui looked exhausted and yawned while sitting in the jury box.

"Although I don't want to admit it, this guy did save my life that day."

Ye Yi also joined in the conversation.

The captains spoke one after another, all of them supporting Lu Li, which made the sages of Room 46 very angry.

"quiet!"

A wise man struck the hammer and said, "The interrogation will begin now. Please keep quiet in the jury box until you are asked."

Although the captains below stopped talking, their expressions showed that they didn't care. Even the more honest captains did not show the proper respect to Room 46 today.

Mainly because the interrogation of a war hero at this time was really chilling for the captains of the Gotei 13.

In terms of the system, the Gotei 13 are the military of Soul Society, and the Central 46 is the party that holds political power. In terms of camps, of course the military has a better relationship with its people, and no one likes the Central 46 very much.

Especially since they have to manage this group of powerless guys and even judge their captain who has made great contributions after the war, no one can tolerate this.

To be honest, even though Soul Society has always had the Central 46 in charge and making all the decisions, if the military and politics are separated and the Gotei 13 don't listen to their orders, the Central 46 should be the ones having a headache.

In fact, it was precisely to avoid the complete separation of military and politics, which would lead to the hollowing out of the Central Forty-Six Chambers, that the five great nobles sent their elite men to serve as captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squadrons. In essence, this was to control part of the military power and thus consolidate the upper-level political power.

However, the only noble captain currently serving in the Gotei 13 is Shihouin Yoruichi, and this guy is notorious for his messy behavior and has a good personal relationship with Lu Li. This has led to the fact that the Gotei 13 will not listen to the nobles.

The reason why Kyoraku Shunsui said that this kind of trial was meaningless just now was because he felt that the Central 46th Room could not actually judge Lu Li now. Even if Lu Li really did some inappropriate and taboo-violating behavior, could they really convict Lu Li?
I'm afraid not. Even based on the principle of offsetting merits and demerits, they cannot punish Lu Li.

Because apart from old man Yamamoto, who is loyal to the protection system, no other captain will stand on the side of the Central 46th Room.

If someone needs to be arrested, who will do it? Should the captain do it himself?

That would only cause further turmoil in military power. Now that the news has spread, the soldiers of the Gotei Corps are already very dissatisfied. If some of the captains stand on Lu Li's side, does that mean the captain-general should arrest all the captains?
If this is the case, then Soul Society will become an empty shell, and no matter how powerful the captain-general is, he will not be able to support the operation of the entire military system.

At this time, the sages on the stage saw that the place had finally quieted down, and one of them asked, "Lu Li, every word you say from now on will be used as evidence in court, so be careful with your words."

As he spoke, he looked towards the corner again, "Captain Yizhou, please prepare the equipment."

When her name was called, Hikifune Kiryu came out reluctantly. She was pushing a small cart with a spiritual particle device on it.

"Captain Lu, this is the polygraph I developed. It can detect whether a person is telling the truth or a lie."

Captain Yezhou walked up to Lu Li and introduced him, "When you are asked a question, if a green light comes on after you answer, it means you are telling the truth. A red light means you are lying."

"Interesting little props. I think you should equip the stealth maneuver with a set first."

Lu Li said with a smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, a green light came on on the device.

"It's a product that's still under testing. This time it's just for temporary use."

Hikifune Kiryu said this, blinked, and then turned and left.

Lu Li thought the other party's last little move was very interesting, but he didn't take it to heart. Anyway, he had already discussed the words with Sosuke in advance, so he just had to tell the truth when the time came.

"Okay, now let's start asking the first question."

A sage spoke up, looking down at Lu Li, "Have you mastered the power of Void?"

When the captains present heard this question, most of them couldn't hide their laughter, thinking that Central Room 46 was asking some stupid questions.

The captains all knew that the virtualization of the god of death has always been a taboo. Lu Li looks so normal, how could he violate such a taboo?

And if Lu Li had this kind of power, he would have used it in the previous fierce battle.

But some people in the crowd also changed color slightly. Assistant Urahara Kishou put his hat brim to hide his changing expression. He knew that Lu Li and Aizen were doing experiments on hollowing. Judging from the fact that they had already made the Hogyoku, there was more than a 99% chance that Lu Li had already come into contact with hollowing.

No one in the jury knew better than him that the reason Lu Li couldn't be deprived of his Bankai must be because of the power of Hollowization.

broken.

Urahara Kisuke didn't expect that the other party had this kind of lie detection method. He originally felt that Lu Li was not the kind of person who was good at lying. Wouldn't he be exposed now?
Under the calm gazes of the captains, the worried gaze of Urahara Kisuke and the expectant gazes of the 46 sages, Lu Li spoke slowly.

"No."

Lu Li said calmly.

The green light came on on the polygraph machine.

For a moment, the sages in the 46th room were confused. Some of them looked at each other, as if to say, "Isn't this different from what we know?"

This trial was unanimously approved by the elders of the five noble families. In essence, it was initiated by the Tsunayashiro family. According to the head of the Tsunayashiro family, Lu Li definitely mastered the power of virtualization. As long as he asked this question and used the lie detector, he would be killed.

But why is it a green light?
