She.
" Who wants to kill me? "
Rukia Kuchiki's expression was grim. She couldn't help but urge him again, impatient to know who was targeting her.
" Aizen," Lin Xuan said calmly.
Rukia Kuchiki froze, a look of surprise on her face as she asked again, " Who did you say? "
Seeing her stunned expression, Lin Xuan smirked and elaborated, " You heard me right. Sosuke Aizen.
Captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13 in the Soul Society, and a part-time calligraphy instructor at the Shinigami Academy. "
" Impossible! How could it be him?
"
After Lin Xuan's confirmation, Rukia Kuchiki's face twisted in shock and disbelief. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Aizen wanted to kill her?
She didn't have a bad impression of Aizen. As the Vice-Captain of the 13th Division in the Soul Society, she naturally knew him. He was not only powerful but also had a passion for calligraphy.
So, when she heard Lin Xuan say that Aizen wanted her dead, her first reaction was disbelief.
However, she was also astonished that Lin Xuan not only knew about the Soul Society and the Gotei 13 but was even familiar with Aizen's identity to such a degree.
This made her feel as if the man before her could see through everything, as if he were omniscient.
For a moment, Rukia Kuchiki felt a sense of confusion.
She didn't know whether she should believe what he was saying.
After all, he had no motive to kill her!
The idea that Captain Aizen wanted her dead was hard to swallow. Besides, she had no grudge against him, and their interactions were minimal.
" Are you wondering why he would want to kill you when you have no conflict with him? "
At that moment, Lin Xuan seemed to read her thoughts and smiled. " You're thinking that you have no enmity with him, so why would he target you?
"
Rukia Kuchiki was taken aback, her gaze at Lin Xuan growing even more shocked.
" If we're talking about personal relationships, he indeed has no motive to kill you. But he's not doing it out of personal vendetta.
He wants something you possess. "
Rukia Kuchiki frowned, puzzled. " What is it?
"
" The Hogyoku," Lin Xuan said flatly.
Rukia Kuchiki was even more confused. " The Hogyoku?
What does that have to do with me? "
" It has everything to do with you, because the Hogyoku is hidden inside you. Everything Aizen has done is to obtain it.
"
Lin Xuan nodded and continued, " Of course, it's related. The Hogyoku is sealed within your soul.
Aizen's entire plan revolves around getting it. "
After saying this, he realized that explaining it this way was too troublesome, and Rukia Kuchiki might not fully understand or believe him.
So, he decided to have the system create a "memory" segment detailing all of Aizen's plans to seize the Hogyoku. He then implanted this "memory" into Rukia Kuchiki's mind.
Instantly, Rukia Kuchiki fell into a daze, rapidly digesting the sudden influx of "memory" information.
After a moment, she slowly came back to her senses, but the shock on her face never faded.
" I never thought it would be like this," Rukia Kuchiki murmured to herself.
She hadn't expected such a massive conspiracy to be lurking behind the scenes!
Even more shocking was that Sosuke Aizen, who outwardly appeared to be a gentle man with a constant smile, was actually someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals!
The memories she had just received not only included the full story of the incident a hundred years ago, allowing her to understand everything that had happened, but also revealed Aizen's ambitions and all the evil deeds he had committed to fulfill them!
So many Shinigami had died under Aizen's schemes, becoming sacrifices for his goals!
All of this had a profound impact on Rukia Kuchiki.
She had no idea so many things were hidden from her. It was as if the dark side of the Soul Society had been ripped open, exposing all the conspiracies!
This realization sent a chill down her spine.
She had been living under someone else's plan all along. Kisuke Urahara had hidden the Hogyoku within her soul, and the anomalies she had encountered before were all part of Sosuke Aizen's scheme to obtain the Hogyoku from her!
It was too unbelievable!
Rukia Kuchiki wanted to doubt the authenticity of these "memories," but they were too detailed and perfectly aligned with some things she had already learned.
Moreover, if she returned to the Soul Society, she could easily verify the truth by investigating in that direction. She didn't think Lin Xuan would go to such lengths for no reason.
Clearly, all of this was very likely true!
Thinking about this, Rukia Kuchiki felt a chill run down her back, and a wave of fear washed over her.
If she hadn't been summoned here, she would have remained ignorant of all this, likely being kept in the dark and slowly walking into Aizen's trap. Step by step, she would have fallen into his scheme, ultimately having the Hogyoku taken from her soul, possibly losing her life in the process!
So, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
At least now, she could be on guard and take action in advance!
Whether this was true or not, at least when she returned to the Soul Society, she wouldn't be so passive, being led around by Aizen.
At the same time, Rukia Kuchiki, like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju before her, was amazed by Lin Xuan's incredible abilities.
Not only could he summon beings from other dimensions, but he also knew all the hidden secrets of the Soul Society, as if he were omniscient, mysterious, powerful, and divine!
At that moment, her curiosity grew even stronger: Who exactly is this man?
