Central forty-six rooms.
Following that pitch-black path, everyone continued to run down.
According to the usual circumstances, anyone who wanted to go to the central forty-sixth room would need to go through more than a dozen checks, as well as several layers of systems used for alarm and defense measures, and they would have to report in advance to the audience.
But now that they had passed through more than a dozen Taoist doors, there was no alarm or defense system.
One after another, the doors that had to be strictly examined before they could be opened. There was not even the slightest aura of a living person. A terrible guess gradually emerged in Natasha's heart.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya did not say a word, but his pace became faster and faster.
But in this way, Peter, who was following behind him, could not say anything. Although Natasha was a woman, after a long journey, no matter how light it was, it was inevitably heavy.
"Huff...Huff...Huff..."
It was impossible to describe him as panting like a cow, almost as fast as a bellows.
Even Natasha, who was thick-skinned, couldn't help but blush a little as she lay on Peter's back. She was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the road was not too long, and they arrived at the bottom in a few minutes.
Located in the central forty-sixth room of the lowest level, the overall architectural style was not too gorgeous, like a huge circular conference room.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya slowed down. After taking a deep breath, he took the lead and stepped into the central forty-sixth room. The lights inside lit up when they sensed someone entering, but the scene that came into view made the three people suck in a cold breath and could not help but reveal a shocked expression.
In the large circular conference room, countless members of the high-ranking power were lying on the table, already dead.
The large pool of blood on the table and the ground had long become dried up and black cracks, and although these dead members did not stink, they also showed a stiff feeling.
From this, it could be inferred that these people had been dead for a long time.
"This... This is..."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya's pupils shrank sharply, and his face was extremely shocked. "What happened here"
Natasha motioned Peter to put her down, and then quickly walked to a member of the parliament. After a simple examination, he finally turned back to look at Tōshirō Hitsugaya and said in a low voice, "According to the extent of their blood drying up, they have been dead for at least half a month."
"Half a month!"
Peter leaned against the door frame, exhausted.
Surprised, he said, "Weren't these people already killed before Mr. Stark was arrested?"
"Based on the current situation. Yes." Natasha looked up at Tōshirō Hitsugaya with a serious expression and said, "Captain Hitsugaya, can you tell us what power the central forty-sixth room has in Soul Society? Maybe this way I can guess the intentions of some murderers."
"Well, these are not secrets anyway."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya felt that what she said was reasonable, so he slowly explained, "The forty-sixth room in the center is strictly screened through layers of screening, and the forty sages selected from Soul Society's whole field, as well as the supreme law mechanisms formed by the six judges."
"Whether it is in Soul Society or in the modern world, if death god commits a crime, all of it will be judged here."
"If the execution is judged by force, it will be commanded by Onmitsukidō, Kido, and Gotei 13th."
"And once the decision is made by the Central Forty-six Office, even those of the rank of captain cannot have any objections, and they can even interfere with the captain's election or dismissal. This is...the Central Forty-six Office. "
"If that is the case."
Natasha turned her brain and began to think. She vaguely grasped a point and asked, "Then when did the central forty-sixth room enter a closed state?"
"Starting from the wartime command."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya was afraid that they did not understand and explained, "It was after your invasion that the bell rang, until we broke in today. This place has been in a closed state."
"But when we came here, we didn't find any traces of invasion." Natasha continued to speculate, "In other words, earlier on, the forty-sixth room in the middle was invaded and the council member was killed."
"Ah. You guessed right."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya's eyes sank and said, "From then on, all the orders given to us by the central forty-six rooms are false."
"Tony Stark. Their target is Tony!"
Natasha connected the whole thing together, and suddenly discovered the problem, and exclaimed: "The murderer who killed the forty-sixth room of the Central Committee, the target was always Tony Stark, and changing the execution time and assassinating Captain Aizen, all It's all done by the same person!"
"Ichimaru Gin!"
Peter's eyes suddenly widened and he subconsciously shouted the man's name.
"No.. It's not just him."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya shook his head and said with a slight face: "He alone can't do this, there should be other people."
clap clap....
In the empty and quiet conference room, suddenly there was a crisp applause.
Everyone was attracted by the sudden applause. They looked at the source of the sound and saw a familiar figure standing on the stairs opposite the conference room.
"I... Ichimaru Gin!"
Tōshirō Hitsugaya narrowed his eyes and his voice suddenly became cold. "Did you do all this"
Ichimaru Gin smiled, and his cold eyes swept over several people, revealing some inexplicable meaning, and then turned around without saying a word and silently walked behind the long rank.
"Wait, don't run!"
It was not easy to catch the murderer, how could Tōshirō Hitsugaya let him escape, ignoring Natasha's dissuasion behind him, directly stepped out, chasing Ichimaru Gin's back.
"Oh no, it is likely that this is a trap!"
Natasha cursed and realized that the situation was not right.
Since the enemy dared to let them find out about this, they must have full confidence and would not let them out alive!
"Then what should we do?" Peter was like a headless fly. He looked at the back of Tōsen Kaname and looked at Natasha next to him. For a moment, he did not know whether he should follow them or turn around and run away.
"Do we still have a choice?"
Natasha raised her voice a few degrees and glared at Peter. She gritted her teeth and said, "Now, we can only go out alive if we follow him. Hurry up and follow him!"
Peter looked wronged, but he still picked up Natasha and rushed up the stairs.
Along the corridor above the steps, they ran for about a hundred meters. They came to a wide hall, and tall towers that stood like dense forests appeared in front of them.
This was the residential area of the Tower of Serenity, which was usually prepared for the forty-sixth room.
The captain of Tōshirō Hitsugaya had actually pulled out zanpakuto at this moment, and the overflowing Spiritual Power was surging like a raging wave, as if he had entered the battle and was on guard against the strong enemy.
Natasha and Peter looked along the direction of the valley.
Beside the Ichimaru Gin Captain they were familiar with, there was also a person who was beyond everyone's expectation, even impossible to appear.
A brown slightly curly short hair, paired with the iconic black frame glasses.
The pair of dark brown pupils were as silent and calm as a deep pool, coupled with the faint gentle smile on the corner of his lips, the whole person exuded a soft aura that made people feel at ease.
But at this moment.
That temperament not only could not make people feel at ease, but also made the people present feel a kind of fear from the heart.
"Captain of 5th Division, Aizen?!"
Peter recognized it at a glance, it was the captain of the Fifth Division who he followed Chen Kiyosumi at the Fifth Division station and saw with his own eyes who had died long ago!
It was over...
At this moment, there was only one thought left in Natasha's mind.
All of them had been deceived and inexplicably involved in a huge turmoil that could affect the entire Soul Society!
This seemingly gentle man in front of her had deceived everyone including them!
According to his past experience, when such a person chose to appear openly, it meant that his plan had been completed.
No matter what plan it was, Natasha understood one thing deeply.
These few people.
Today,she was afraid that she would not be able to walk out alive!
