On the third day.
There was only one day left before the final sentence time.
But shocking things happened one after another. Yesterday night, 5th Division Vice-Captain Chen tried to sneak attack and kill Ichimaru Gin, the three travelers with him were immediately arrested.
Although the specific reason is unknown, it is said that it is related to the death of 5th Division Captain.
This news caused a great uproar in Soul Society.
Especially the group of death god of 5th Division, the deputy captain was imprisoned as soon as the captain died. For a time, the group was excited. If not for 10th Division Captain personally pressing down, it was afraid that it would directly block the door of the central 46 room and set off a bigger riot.
But even so, many people noticed that something was wrong.
It was as if a huge haze was shrouded on top of Seireitei, and it was full of incredible feelings.
The three travelers were temporarily imprisoned in the same cell as the previous ones.
This time, Natasha, Banner, and Peter finally met up with Steve.
In this slightly narrow cell, four people crowded in the upper and lower bunk, looking at each other in silence.
Originally, everyone thought that even if they were caught, there should be no problems with the others, but they met in the prison.
Four of the seven-man team were wiped out.
Steve was covered in bandages. He sat on the bed with a decadent look. He looked at the three of them speechlessly and asked, "Don't tell me that everyone has been caught?"
"Not yet, Captain Rogers." Natasha crossed her legs and leaned against the edge of the bed. She said gloomily, "Constantine and Barton should have escaped. As for Frank... I don't know where he is yet, but he should be fine."
"No, there isn't enough time!"
The more Steve thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He subconsciously pinched the iron railing and made a fingerprint. "Tomorrow is Tony's execution date. If we count on the three of them to be unreliable, we have to find a way to escape ourselves!"
"Stop messing around, Captain Rogers."
"..."
Peter reached out his hands, speechless. There were two shackles on them. "This thing is specially made. With our strength, it is impossible to break free."
"Banner, with Hulk's power, can he break free from this shackle?" Steve turned his eyes to Banner and asked.
"Yes yes yes..."
Banner smiled bitterly and said strangely, "But the problem is that after I put on this shackle, I can't be angry or angry at all, let alone call out Hulk."
If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Banner would probably be overjoyed.
He has practiced Indian yoga for several years. Apart from unlocking a lot of new postures for himself, it is useless for suppressing anger and Hulk. On the contrary, after he came to the soul world and went to jail, the problems were solved by this pair of shackles.
The remaining three people looked at each other with bitter smiles and fell silent again.
The only way to escape was also solved by Seireitei in advance, completely putting an end to the problem of Hulk.
"I don't know. How is Chen ?" Peter's eyes were a little blank, curled up in the corner of the bed.
Natasha sighed and comforted him, "Don't worry, in any case, she is also a vice captain, and there should be no big problem with the protection of the 10th Division captain."
"Do we still have hope?"
Dr. Banner pulled his hair and said, " Fail to save Tony. We got caught too."
"Eh...."
Steve was at his wit's end. He stared at the ceiling, his eyes blank. "Now, we can only hope that Lod still has a backup."
If you didn't say it, you would have forgotten that there was still him.
The bitterness on their faces deepened. It was better to count on him than to count on the prison to collapse.
Everyone stayed in the prison room and watched the sun rise and fall from the east.
It was sunset, the moon and stars were sparse.
Tonight was a good day, but the few people in the prison could not sleep at all.
When they thought that tomorrow was Tony's execution day and they were still trapped in the prison and could not get out, everyone became anxious.
Just like this, in the muddled process, they finally endured this night.
...
...
...
The fourth day, early morning, day of execution.
Tenth-Division Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya suddenly appeared in front of the people in the prison.
And the way this captain appeared was really shocking. He actually knocked out all the guards along the way.
Was he going to break the prison?
When Steve and others were shocked, the iron door was cut off by sword.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya slowly came in, green eyes wandering on several people, and finally locked on Natasha: "You said Ichimaru Gin might be the murderer who killed Aizen, tell me the specific speculation process."
Just to ask a question, does the movement need to be so loud?
Natasha was obviously shocked. After more than ten seconds, she was awakened by a dissatisfied snort of Tōshirō Hitsugaya, and then hurriedly told her all her speculations.
From the reason of suspicion at the beginning to how to take a step forward and figure out how to lure the result.
The whole logic chain has no flaws, and it is quite convincing. There is also Chen as half a witness, almost all suspicion and spearhead points to Ichimaru Gin, the captain of 3rd Division.
"Sure enough."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya just showed a dignified expression after listening.
"That..." Peter asked carefully, "Can I ask, what exactly happened?"
Suddenly running over to ask about Ichimaru Gin, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a small matter. Could it be that another captain was killed?
At the thought of this result, Natasha and the others felt a little horrified.
"Yesterday, the crime of Chen has been officially decided."
Hitsugaya Toshiro looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "The judgment of the Central Forty-six Room is that because Chen attacked the captain without authorization, they sealed off her five senses and imprisoned her in the Infernal Hell for a thousand years."
"What? A thousand years!"
Upon hearing this news, Peter jumped up from the bed excitedly.
"This... isn't it a little too serious?" Natasha keenly noticed that something was wrong. She asked doubtfully, "Even if you attack a captain, isn't this trial process a little too fast?"
"Yes, too fast."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya's eyes sank and said: "This time, the order of the central 46 room is full of strange things. I suspect that Ichimaru Gin guy is likely to secretly control the central 46 room."
Control... Central 46 Room
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and there was even a huge wave in their hearts.
That was equivalent to the highest authority in the US Congress. It was manipulated by a captain who was similar to a general position. The conspiracy behind this was definitely not as simple as they imagined. Killing a captain of the same level!
Ichimaru Gin.. What the hell was he trying to do?
This was a thought that came to everyone's mind at the same time.
First, he killed a captain of the same level, then he was suspected of controlling the highest authority, and finally, he tampered with several orders in advance.
"You guys, hurry up and leave."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya breathed out and said, "There is still some time before the execution. I need to go to the central forty-sixth room to find out if Ichimaru Gin is behind the scenes."
"Wait, I will go with you!" Peter suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "Chen saved me twice. I have to help her. They are enough at the execution ground. There is no lack of me."
Natasha's heart warmed. This was an opportunity to get in touch with Soul Society's highest authority. She could not miss this opportunity. She said, "I will come with you. With my observation and reasoning ability, I should be able to help you a little."
"Now, it seems that Ichimaru Gin has a lot to do with Tony being caught." Steve thought for a while and said, "I hope you can take them with you. At least this can wash away our suspicion. It is enough for me and Banner to go to the execution."
With the strength of Natasha and Peter, they might not be able to help even if they followed.
Even the situation over there was more dangerous. If they were careless, both of them would die, so instead of following them, it was better to investigate the conspiracy behind this matter.
"Alright."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya thought for a moment and nodded to agree with this method. "Once there is any discovery, I will find a way to inform the other captains. Before that, try to delay the execution time."
