Chapter 490
As that scream rang out, countless Shinigami rushed over. Seeing this scene, it was nothing short of a human tragedy. Who was it? Who could it be? Killing one captain a day? Did they have to kill all the captains? Who would be the next captain? Would they kill them all after they were all gone? A sense of unease gripped everyone's hearts. And those Shinigami preparing to remove Kaname Tosen's body saw two words written in their own blood on Kaname Tosen's palm: 'Chen Fan'.
If one person says it's Chen Fan, it could be considered a fabrication; if two people say it's Chen Fan, it could be considered a frame-up. But if three people all say it's Chen Fan, then what's going on? All the blame is pointing to Chen Fan, the Captain of the 10th Division. No matter how you look at it, he can't be innocent.
Chapter Sixty-Seven: Justice? (Fifth Update)
(Chapter Sixty-Seven: Justice?)
The meeting was inevitable. Since its founding, the Soul Society had never seen anything like this—a captain dying every day, using the same methods, and in the same locations. Was it haunted?
"Bang!" Looking at the dead Kaname Tosen and the message Kaname Tosen left behind, the Captain of the Seventh Division Kensei Muguruma slammed his fist into the ground;
"Tōsen! I will definitely help you kill Chen Fan and avenge you!" Kensei Muguruma said. Kensei Muguruma and Kaname Tosen met at the Shino Academy. Because of his dog-like face, Kensei Muguruma often suffered discrimination and exclusion. It was Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto Kaname Tosen, being blind, was Kensei Muguruma's only friend and did not discriminate against him. Now, as the captain, he cannot break the rules, but...
"003." Chen Fan woke up to a commotion outside. He was surrounded by cells constructed of Sealing Stone, making it impossible for him to sense any spiritual energy outside. His Thought Body technique was combined with spiritual pressure, so he had no idea what was happening.
Most importantly, Captain-General Yamamoto personally supervised the process; this could be considered a special reward for him after the two captains knelt down.
"Make way! Make way!" came a chaotic commotion from outside;
"Captain Kensei Muguruma! You're putting us in a very difficult position!" a Shinigami reaper said.
"I'll take responsibility for any consequences! Get out of my way!" Captain Kensei Muguruma of the Captain of the Seventh Division shouted, then waved his hand to knock down the Shinigami on either side of him, moving them aside to prevent them from blocking his way;
"Boom...!" Kensei Muguruma's release of spiritual pressure stunned all the guards blocking his way. Excessively strong spiritual pressure can cause opponents to lose consciousness; this is considered the basic effect of spiritual pressure.
The cell where Chen Fan was imprisoned had walls made of Sealing Stone on three sides, and the ceiling was also made of Sealing Stone -Sealing Stone. There was a toilet and a chamber pot made of Sealing Stone. There was a small ventilation opening on the back wall, which was blocked by a few iron bars. Chen Fan's front was surrounded by iron bars, which were filled with Sealing Stone and a special barrier. He was also personally guarded by the Captain-General, who was currently in a meeting. You could say that Chen Fan was the presidential suite of the prison.
Beyond the iron bars was a small space with a door, guarded by two Shinigami constantly changed shifts to provide 24-hour service. When Chen Fan first arrived here, he couldn't help but smile wryly. He was in extreme danger. This wasn't the treatment of a suspect; it was clearly that of a serious criminal.
"Bang!" The door was kicked open, and Kensei Muguruma walked in from outside;
"Captain Kensei Muguruma, please leave immediately! The Captain-General has ordered that no one is allowed to approach Captain Chen Fan of the 10th Division!" The two Shinigami guarding Chen Fan Shinigami blocked Kensei Muguruma's path with their weapons drawn.
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing Kensei Muguruma; he disliked Kensei Muguruma intensely.
"Chen Fan! Did you kill Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tosen?!" Kensei Muguruma confronted Chen Fan, questioning him directly.
"Kaname Tosen dead too? That's good, he deserved to die!" Chen Fan said with a smile. After two people died in succession, Chen Fan had a slight sense of Aizen's intentions. Sure enough, Kaname Tosen was dead too. All three of them pointed the evidence at him. That's how rumors work. As the saying goes, "three men can make a tiger," even if it's not true, they'll make it seem true.
Hearing Chen Fan say that it was good that Kaname Tosen, Kensei Muguruma became even angrier. He lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, his fists clenched tighter, and he slowly whispered, "So... it was you! Chen Fan!"
"You killed Tōsen!!!" The Captain of the Seventh Division, Kensei Muguruma, unleashed an astonishing spiritual pressure as he shouted at Chen Fan;
Then he drew his Zanpakuto and swung it at the bars of the cell. "Boom...!" The bars made of Sealing Stone were utterly shattered by Kensei Muguruma's Zanpakuto, and not only that, the entire cell began to collapse.
"Boom! Boom...!..." Large plumes of dust and smoke billowed from the cell;
"Whoosh..." A person emerged from the smoke and landed on the open ground; it was Chen Fan.
Immediately afterwards, "Whoosh...!" Kensei Muguruma also jumped out of the smoke;
"Die, Chen Fan! Tenken!" shouted Kensei Muguruma, the Captain of the Seventh Division, as Zanpakuto at Chen Fan. A shockwave from the slash swept towards Chen Fan, splitting the ground in two.
"Boom...!" The spiritual pressure wave slash exploded near Chen Fan, sending a cloud of smoke and dust flying out;
"Whoosh...!" Chen Fan burst out of the dust.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Kensei Muguruma Cun shouted.
