Uchiha Hiko lightened his steps, making not the slightest sound as he slowly followed.
The archive room was pitch-black, with only faint moonlight filtering in through the windows for illumination.
At that moment, the spiritual pressure continued to shroud Soul Society. Everyone wore frightened expressions.
"Sosuke Aizen!!!" Uchiha Hiko's heart skipped a beat. That silhouette was definitely his.
Though he wore a black cloak, every person gave off a different aura, and every back had subtle differences.
The distinction lay in whether one could recognize them.
Uchiha Hiko's footsteps were exceptionally light, making no sound as he slowly, slowly approached that figure.
Suddenly, the figure said, "Come out! Stop hiding."
The voice was somewhat hoarse, and Uchiha Hiko tensed. Don't tell me I've really been discovered.
That voice did not sound like Sosuke Aizen's. Then who was this dark shadow before him?
Uchiha Hiko stood motionless, waiting to see what the dark shadow would do.
With a buzz, a Zanpakuto left its sheath. A bright white flash passed through Uchiha Hiko's body and struck the wall behind him.
Uchiha Hiko slowly sidestepped, a trace of tension rising in his heart.
A stifling atmosphere filled the archive room.
He had no choice but to be nervous. Uchiha Hiko did not have a shred of strength left. If Sosuke Aizen suddenly went mad and started slashing around with his sword, Uchiha Hiko might not even be able to dodge.
Clack! The Zanpakuto in the dark shadow's hand returned to its sheath.
"Since you refuse to come out, don't blame me for dragging you out," the shadow said hoarsely.
"Shatter, Suigetsu!"
The dark shadow suddenly drew his Zanpakuto again and immediately released its Shikai.
That action gave Uchiha Hiko a small fright. He shifted one foot slightly backward and did not dare move
