Urahara chuckled.

How could that be?

Kisuke Urahara closed his notebook and looked up at Wang Xun.

The excitement from before had faded from those eyes.

"What you've shown is far more valuable than I imagined."

"These figures, taken individually, are not particularly shocking."

Urahara took a deep breath.

"But you achieved these improvements while completely conscious and in complete control. There was no loss of control, no breakdown."

His voice lowered.

"Those individuals who failed to be forcibly Hollowfication by Aizen using the Hōgyoku either collapsed the moment they were Hollowfication, or barely managed to hold on for a while before ultimately succumbing to their fate."

"They couldn't control that force."

Urahara looked at Wang Xun.

"But you're different. You can maintain a clear mind, make accurate judgments, and execute complex techniques while remaining in Hollowfication."

"This is the most precious thing."

"But I must remind you, do not use this ability in front of outsiders for now."

"After all, the current Seireitei, especially the nobles, have a lot of objections to this ability."

Wang Xun nodded.

"Speaking of which, do you still have those potions you had before?"

Urahara paused for a moment.

"Medicine?"

"Those are the ones you secretly used on me before."

Urahara looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Haha... I do have some stock. How much do you need?"

Wang Xun thought for a moment.

"All."

Urahara paused for a moment.

"All?"

"Yes, consider it compensation for using me as an experiment before."

Urahara smiled bitterly.

"You really are something, never willing to suffer even the slightest loss."

But he did not refuse.

"No problem, I'll give it all to you from now on."

"Moreover, your physical condition might be the key to fighting that person."

"However, there's one thing about Aizen that puzzles me..."

"I've been tracking those missing persons cases for a long time—the spirits of Rukongai, the Soul Reaper of the Gotei 13."

"If what you say is true, Aizen was manipulating all of this behind the scenes, then how did he manage to do it?"

Urahara turned around, facing away from him.

"Many of those disappearances occurred in areas secretly controlled by nobles. I always thought the nobles were conducting some kind of experiment."

He paused.

"Those nobles aren't fools; they have their own intelligence networks. To be able to pull off so much under their noses and then smear them is truly remarkable."

"But if the real mastermind is Aizen, how did he manage to keep it all a secret from everyone and do it all so quietly?"

Wang Xun remained silent for a moment.

Then, he slowly began to speak.

Hypnosis.

Urahara was taken aback.

"What?"

Wang Xun looked at him and said, word by word.

"Aizen's Zanpakuto isn't the flowing type he demonstrated; its true ability is Complete Hypnosis, controlling the five senses."

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara looked at Wang Xun in disbelief.

"Complete Hypnosis?"

His voice was a little hoarse.

"Controlling... the five senses?"

Wang Xun nodded.

"Right."

Urahara's breathing became rapid.

Countless thoughts surged wildly through his mind.

If this is true, if Aizen really possesses this ability...

Then everything makes sense.

Why are there still no results in those missing persons cases after so many years of investigation?

Why do investigations always inexplicably run out of leads?

Why do the results always end up pointing to unrelated places?

It's not because that person was too well hidden.

It's because even if he were right in front of you, no one could see him.

Urahara suddenly realized something, and his face instantly turned pale.

He suddenly turned his head and looked around.

The cave was empty, except for him and Wang Xun.

But... who knows?

Perhaps right now, Aizen is standing in some corner, quietly watching them.

Urahara's hand instinctively rested on his Zanpakuto.

Wang Xun looked at his reaction and gently shook his head.

"Don't worry, he's not here."

Urahara suddenly looked at him.

How did you know?

Wang Xun remained silent for a moment.

Urahara paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

"Your Zanpakuto?"

He looked at Wang Xun, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

"Your Zanpakuto... can sense the abilities of other people's Zanpakuto?"

Wang Xun didn't speak, but simply looked at Urahara in silence.

Urahara stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.

"No wonder..."

He walked to the edge of a protruding rock and leaned against it.

"So, you had already noticed something was wrong with Aizen?"

Wang Xun shook his head.

"It all started with that joint mission."

"Just as you said, Aizen Kyōka Suigetsu; he can make whoever he wants see see whatever he wants."

"Even if you and I stood in front of Captain-Commander Yamamoto now, pointing at Aizen and accusing him of being the mastermind, the Captain-Commander probably wouldn't even see us."

Urahara fell silent.

He knew Wang Xun was right.

If Aizen truly possesses this ability, it would be virtually impossible to expose him.

Urahara raised his head and looked at Wang Xun.

For the first time, a genuine seriousness appeared on his face.

Your current situation is very dangerous.

Wang Xun nodded.

"Just as you said, he's already started targeting me."

Urahara frowned.

"Aizen also possesses the Hōgyoku, and his actions suggest that he wasn't simply testing Hōgyoku power."

"He wanted to use the power of the Hōgyoku to forcibly break the boundary between Soul Reaper and Hollows, allowing himself to evolve to a higher level..."

He paused.

"Although those experiments all failed, if he continues his research, there's no guarantee he won't succeed."

He looked at Wang Xun.

"By then, the entire Soul Society will be in danger, after all, we still don't know what his ultimate goal is."

Wang Xun fell silent.

Urahara is right.

In the original work, Aizen almost succeeded.

Urahara continued speaking.

But your existence might offer a turning point.

Wang Xun looked at him.

"What's the meaning?"

Urahara's eyes sharpened.

"Aizen tried to force you into Hollowfication using the Hōgyoku, but there was no reaction."

"This means that the power within you has already exceeded the range of influence of the Hōgyoku."

"You are born with the ability to Hollowfication, your Soul Reaper powers and Hollow powers coexist perfectly, which is theoretically impossible, but you have done it."

"Your physique and your Zanpakuto may be the key to defeating Aizen."

Wang Xun looked at him and slowly spoke.

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but Aizen has already noticed me, and he will definitely continue to make moves."

"Should I first consider how I can survive until that day?"

Urahara paused for a moment, then sighed.

"You're right."

He reached out his hand.

"Don't worry, despite some misunderstandings before, I'm on your side."

"From now on, I will find a way to protect you. This is no longer just your own responsibility."

Wang Xun looked at his hand and remained silent for a moment.

Then, he took its hand.

After a brief silence, the two let go of each other's hands.

Wang Xun looked at him.

"Speak, what are your thoughts?"
