Chapter 1497: The time has come
As soon as Gin finished speaking, all five of the vice captains present looked at him.
Confusion, suspicion, and fear could be seen in their eyes.
Momo, who had regained her senses, also looked at Gin Ichimaru, tears streaming from her eyes as she recalled the few words Toshiro Hitsugaya had said to her.
The relationship between Toshiro Hitsugai and Momo Hinamori was somewhat special. As a child, Toshiro protected and protected her, and Momo saw him as a kind and caring boy, although he was sometimes a little harsh and withdrawn.
After Momo joined the 5th Squad, all her attention was focused on Aizen. She saw him as the perfect leader and mentor, but even so, Toshiro still treated her like his little sister and tried to protect her from everything.
From Momo's expression, she definitely had very warm feelings for Aizen, or rather, she was even addicted to him. In the end, Aizen became Momo's spiritual support thanks to his wise guidance.
Although Toshiro was extremely unhappy about it, he didn't push the subject because he knew that if he started pointing it out, he and Momo would probably stop being even friends.
At that moment, Momo suddenly remembered what Toshiro had said to her not long ago: "Don't trust Aizen so blindly and be careful, especially when you're alone with Aizen».
Toshiro said this to Momo for her own safety, but it only planted a seed of doubt in her mind.
Aizen's plan was very carefully thought out. He had considered everything, even Momo's reaction to his sudden death.
And at that moment, Momo couldn't even move. She thought about what Toshiro had said to her back then, and Gin's strange attitude.
She couldn't help but think that it was Gin who killed Aizen.
— This... this is what you did! Momo suddenly shouted as she grabbed her spiritual sword at her waist and immediately rushed straight towards Gin.
Momo's surprise attack was too sudden, the other vice captains didn't even have time to react to her sudden rush. When they realized what had happened, Momo was already right in front of Gin.
All these vice captains didn't want to protect Gin, but Momo. If Momo and Gin were to be compared, Gin would obviously be stronger than this inexperienced girl.
When Momo first saw Gin, cold sweat broke out all over her body. In her eyes this guy was like a venomous snake with an equally venomous tongue and an equally venomous smile.
With a clang, sparks fell to the ground. Momo's sword was easily stopped by someone. Gin didn't even move and looked at Momo with a smile the whole time.
A blonde shinigami appeared in front of Gin, and it was he who stopped Momo's attack without any problems.
— Izuru, why ... " Momo asked and lowered her gaze.
Izuru Kira, the third squad's vice-captain, got in her way.
— Because I'm in the third squad. Whatever the reason, I can't stand by and watch someone else try to kill the captain of the third squad, " Izuru winked at Momo as he spoke. His answer seemed cruel, but he actually said it all for everyone present.
He and Momo had developed a good relationship, so if he didn't stop Momo right now, he would have basically let her die today.
If anyone here could hold Gin back, that shinigami was Rangiku Matsumoto, but right now, she couldn't figure out what she should have done in the first place.
Other than her, any other shinigami in such an unusual situation would die if they only made a move.
Gin, on the other hand, wasn't going to follow Aizen's plan completely, and at the moment, he might as well kill Momo. On the surface, he showed complete loyalty to Aizen, but in reality, he had his own hidden goals.
Su Xiao and Gin both understood why Aizen decided to use his fake death to escape from the light into the dark. As for Momo, the letter Aizen left behind was actually meant to kill her.
Gin could very well take this opportunity and kill Momo right now, as long as Momo herself took the initiative and attacked him, then Gin would be forced to fight back and end up 'accidentally' killing Momo.
If everything goes this way, the further development of events will go like clockwork. As for the consequences, from the official point of view, Momo died because of her own recklessness and impulsiveness. The vice-captain's attack on the captain was an act of insubordination, especially considering the current circumstances. Right now, they didn't have any evidence that Aizen was killed by Gin Ichimaru specifically.
With a smile on his face, Gin glanced at Kira's back.
This guy will no doubt stop him from killing Momo.
Realizing this, Gin turned around and started to walk away, but someone got in his way.
— Looks like... you shouldn't just leave right now.
It was Su Xiao who stopped Gin.
The corners of Gene's mouth turned up. He didn't expect Su Xiao to block his path, but surely it would only play into their hands.
The fact that Su Xiao blocked Gin's path was quite a normal development, in the eyes of outsiders, Su Xiao and Aizen had already become good friends, at least they often drank together. Aizen even received spirit balls directly from Su Xiao, which made the other captains envious of him every now and then.
— Oh? Why not? What conclusions did a scientist like you draw? I didn't do anything wrong.
Gin immediately understood Su Xiao's intentions and played along with him.
This dialogue brought back the sparkle in Momo's eyes, she suddenly realized that Su Xiao seemed to want to help her, but this made Momo even more sad. She knew very well about the relationship between Aizen and Su Xiao, as Aizen took her with him every time he went to Su Xiao's for a drink.
— Get out of the way! Momo shouted and tensed her arms, glaring at Izura with anger.
Izuru shook his head slightly. He was much more mature than Momo, and he knew that if he allowed Momo to attack Gin, it wouldn't end with a simple reprimand.
Su Xiao glanced at Izura and then looked at Gin, and the meaning of his gaze was very clear, he almost wanted to ask if they were involved in this matter.
The smile on Gene's face faded a little, and he looked at him with a look that said, " I don't know.: "No».
— As if realizing that something was wrong, Su Xiao decided to stop Momo.
— Why? Momo asked in disbelief. She couldn't understand why Su Xiao would suddenly stop her, and it made her feel helpless for a moment.
— Aizen is dead. This is a fact, and it cannot be changed. Gin Ichimaru didn't do anything.
Hearing this, Momo immediately said in alarm — " But...
— No buts, no evidence that Gene is the one who killed Aizen.
— Disgusting! Momo shouted and pushed Izura away.
Her hands were shaking.
Su Xiao walked past Gin and his hand lightly touched Gin's sleeve.
Gin glanced at the spiritual particles that formed one small word.
«It's time».
As soon as he saw that word, it immediately disappeared, and Gin Ichimaru knew that someone was going to be in big trouble in the near future. At the first meeting, Gin realized that Su Xiao wasn't as careless and lazy as he appeared on the surface.
And Gin's assessment was correct. Su Xiao was just waiting for things to finally start moving in the right direction.
Aizen's death meant that Ichigo Kurosaki joined the Soul Society. The scapegoat that he had been waiting for for so long had finally appeared. Why did he hide for so long? All of this was done for the sake of spiritual swords, treasure chests, and the Source of Peace.
Since entering this world, Su Xiao hadn't obtained even 0.1% of the World's Source, and now was the perfect time to harvest.
Gin didn't say anything and left quickly. This was the agreement between Su Xiao and Aizen. For now, with the exception of a few key figures, he could kill everyone else, and Aizen would help him cover his tracks. This was Su Xiao's condition after discussing all the plans.
Working with Aizen was obviously more profitable than working for the Soul Society.
After so many days of hard work, it was finally time to harvest.
