"Philip entered the Soul Society when he was twenty-eight. That criminal was fifty-five then." Yi Bing said. "After fifty years, that criminal is a hundred and five years old, but is still alive. He's being tormented, not only by his old age, but also of illnesses he had accumulated throughout his life." He lowered his gaze.
Huo Ling clenched his fists. "That serves him right!" he said.
Yi Bing nodded. "That is Philip's motivation, or what the Soul Society calls 'wish'." He said. "In exchange of fulfilling his wish, Philip became the Soul Society's member. Philip thought that his task, monitoring a vessel, is easy, so he didn't have any scruple when he joined." He explained.
