The Unforgiven from Shinigami
Soi Fon stood in the lobby of the Research and Development Institute.
It's very spacious here.
A slight chill permeated the air.
No one served the guest a cup of tea.
Golden bees perched at the top of the corridor, their eyes fixed on the guests, transmitting what they saw back to the screen where the host was located.
The Seated Officer of the Twelfth Division gathered there and continued to increase their numbers, trying to fill the room.
It wasn't that they had any ill intentions towards the Second Division Captain Soi Fon; it was mainly that most of the Twelfth Division's Seated Officer were fished out of Maggot's Nest.
It doesn't matter to the other team leaders.
The Second Division Captain, who was in charge of managing the Maggot's Nest, was in a different situation; he was worried about being caught and imprisoned in the Maggot's Nest again.
Because Soi Fon never visited the Research and Development Institute.
Even if there are any missions, Captain-Commander Yamamoto relays the orders through the Riteitai.
This is the first time in history that someone has personally visited the place.
This makes them reflect on whether they have recently gone too far in their behavior.
Akon's face turned ashen. He had just tricked a high-ranking nobleman for research funding; could he have been exposed so quickly?
Last month was even worse... it was awful, thinking about my past actions.
His expression grew increasingly somber.
He looked around; everyone was in a similar situation, no one could laugh, and no one wanted to go back to that awful place.
Although he didn't feel any terror when he was first locked in the Maggot's Nest, thinking there was no difference between the outside and the inside.
But this idea remained unfulfilled until he met Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi, whose brilliant minds and ways of doing things shone so brightly.
Even Akon, who always considered himself a genius, had to admire them and regard them as idols.
Then Mayuri Kurotsuchi took over as the second director of the Research and Development Institute and vigorously recruited many people with personality problems but great abilities from the Maggot's Nest.
For the first time, Akon had a like-minded companion. Looking back on the time in the Maggot's Nest, he realized how terrifying it was.
He didn't want to go back to that awful place.
"Don't worry, everyone, Captain Kurotsuchi will figure something out." "I have a feeling that if you offer him enough benefits, he'll sell us out."

Please don't tell this cruel truth.
Feeling guilty, they were thrown into chaos.
Soi Fon was also caught in a fierce internal struggle, her pride and self-respect clamoring for her to leave the Research and Development Institute and not seek Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
Driven by the desire to avenge Ōmaeda, he was also compelled to set aside his pride and seek help from Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
Even the cowardly Ōmaeda, when faced with Sōya Azashiro, stubbornly chose to fight back and uphold the dignity of the Stealth Force.
As the team leader, there's no reason why she should be inferior to that guy.
Soi Fon took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself.
Footsteps echoed down the corridor.
She turned her head and saw Mayuri Kurotsuchi, sporting a Pharaoh-style hairstyle, walking towards her with her fingernails painted gold.
He grinned, revealing a mouthful of gold teeth, and spoke in a menacing tone, "Oh, Captain Soi Fon, what business do you have with me?"
Mayuri Kurotsuchi was quite certain that the other party would never have come to her door unless there was something private going on.
As for arresting people and taking them back to the Maggot's Nest.
Those idiots don't even realize that if they really wanted to take someone back, they wouldn't be waiting here so politely.
Given their style, they would have already forced their way in and arrested people.
"I'm here to ask Captain Kurotsuchi to treat my vice-captain."
Soi Fon made her request without directly revealing Sōya Azashiro's name and abilities, as she felt that doing so might lead to eavesdropping.
After all, the Seireitei is so large, that Sōya Azashiro would definitely filter information, using specific keywords or by directly monitoring a particular person to conduct surveillance.
Has she received any attention?
Probably not.
From the 11th to today, the 24th, she did her usual work, but at night she developed new tricks to lull her opponent into a false sense of security.
Without the numbness, there's no point in her continuing to endure it.
If even a fourteen-day interval isn't enough to maintain calm surveillance, then even a longer interval might not be enough to escape it.
Why not take a gamble?
Mayuri Kurotsuchi scratched his chin and said, "I remember, your vice-captain's name is..."
"Don't say that name."
Soi Fon interrupted, afraid that the Ōmaeda would attract the attention of Sōya Azashiro.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's disdainful expression vanished, and his golden eyes swept across his surroundings.
This is the Research and Development Institute, equipped with comprehensive anti-eavesdropping facilities.
But the other person still had that serious expression.
interesting.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi became somewhat interested in this matter and asked, "Where is he?"
Soi Fon replied, " The Fourth Division's General Infirmary."
What are the symptoms?
Mayuri Kurotsuchi for an answer.
Soi Fon thought for a moment and said, "You'll understand when you get there."
"Heh, I have no interest in saving lives, but dissecting and researching subjects is another matter entirely."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi, her face beaming with excitement, said, " Nemu, go and get the necessary tools for the dissection."
"..." Soi Fon's lips twitched, but she still didn't say anything, and could only place her hopes on this scumbag.
Nemu Kurotsuchi turned to get her tools.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi spread his hands and said, "Now let's talk about the price of saving lives."
Soi Fon pursed her lips and asked, "How much money do you want?"
Money? How can that compare to your body?
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyes lit up, and his fingers began to move restlessly, a sign of his excitement. "Spirits are very strange beings. They have similar organs, but they differ in subtle ways."
To put it simply, some people are born smart, some are born strong, and some work hard their whole lives but still only reach the level of Third Seat.
Therefore, Captain-level spirits have considerable research value.
"Impossible!"
Soi Fon's first reaction was to refuse; she didn't want to lie on the lab table and let Mayuri Kurotsuchi dissect her body beside her.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's excitement turned somewhat somber as she threatened, " Captain Soi Fon, you probably don't want your vice-captain to spend the rest of her life in a hospital bed, do you?"
Soi Fon retorted, "Are you really going to give up on that interesting case?"
After a brief silence, Mayuri Kurotsuchi her fingernails and said, "How about this, we each compromise. Give me a copy of your fingernails, toenails, and hair, and then have a blood sample drawn. Consider it payment."
Soi Fon thought for a moment. Pushing too hard wouldn't be a good thing, and the price was within an acceptable range, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
It's a deal.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi smiled again. Raising the bar at the beginning, and if rejected, then proposing the real conditions, often works every time.
Humans are so easy to understand when it comes to interests.
Soi Fon's expression grew increasingly serious, hoping that this person could discover Sōya Azashiro's abilities through Ōmaeda's symptoms and find a solution.
Otherwise, she would be like a person with their hands and feet tied, making it difficult for her to take action.
Before doing anything, you should think about whether it's being done under the watchful eye of Sōya Azashiro.
A silent atmosphere fell over the hall, and no one could say a word.
With a clatter of footsteps, Nemu Kurotsuchi came running over carrying a silver metal box that was taller than herself.
Soi Fon glanced at it a few more times, wondering what was inside.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi said with a smile, "Let me see what interesting things Seireitei."
