The Confession Palace is located in the center of the Seireite Courtyard, south of the 13th Guarding Division building, on the high ground under the jurisdiction of the 9th Division. It is a place where felons are imprisoned.

The appearance of the building is a giant white tower, made of "murderous stone". There are stairs leading to the cells at a higher place, and on the other side of the tower there is a rope bridge leading to the double execution platform.

The prisons in the Penitent Palace are divided into two types: above ground and underground. Death row prisoners are held above ground, and felons are held underground. Each prison is numbered, and Ichimaru Gin is imprisoned in underground prison No. 18.

For reasons of confidentiality and security, although the jailers guarding the Penitence Palace belong to the Ninth Division, they wear white uniforms that cover their entire bodies, preventing them from having direct contact with the prisoners.

Ever since Ichimaru Gin was imprisoned in the Confession Palace, he had been sitting on the cold ground, looking at the endless darkness with his narrow and small eyes, and a slight smile on his lips.

The underground cage was dark and damp all year round, and the air was full of dust and moldy smell, but Ichimaru Gin didn't care about it at all, looking at the dark passage in front of him, because a ray of light suddenly lit up there.

"Da da da!"

"Da da da!"

Following the sound of moderate footsteps, an elegant man wearing a pure white casual robe appeared in front of Ichimaru Gin holding a paper lantern:

I saw that he was tall and tall, with a pale face, a black ponytail on his head, and two long bangs parted in the middle on his forehead. He looked very frail, but there was a vague aura of danger inside!

"Oh~" Ichimaru Gin's young eyes opened slightly, looking at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared here, and said with a smile:

"Being able to avoid the eyes and ears of Soul Society and break in here silently... It seems that you are the legendary eighth-generation Kenpachi——"

"Mole City Shuangye." Mole City Shuangye stared at Ichimaru Gin with a pair of breathtaking eyes, and said indifferently: "Put away your sincere flattery, I just came here to ask you a question."

"What?"

"As far as I know, Aizen has obtained something that can break the boundaries of the Shinigami... Bengyoku, yes, Bengyoku!

I have to say that this is an invention that has a great impact on the present and future trends! But what I want to ask is...why didn't you choose virtualization?" Mole Cheng Shuangye asked.

"Is it becoming a Hollow..." Ichimaru Gin put his hands into the large prison uniform and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I'm not qualified enough to withstand the power of the Hollow!"

"Hmph..." Mole Chengshuang also sneered and said: "I'm not here to listen to your jokes! I might as well tell you that before you joined the Gotei 13th Division, I was paying attention to Aizen's every move.

!

Even judging from Aizen's various signs in the Soul Society, his true identity...is a secret agent sent by the Soul King Palace to the Seireitei!"

"Oh?" A glimmer of light appeared in the corner of Ichimaru Gin's eyes, but his expression did not change. He looked at the man in front of him and did not respond.

"The reason why Aizen's power surpasses that of many captain-level Shinigami is probably because he is a part of the Soul King!"

Mole Chengshuang also slowly sat down in front of Ichimaru Gin. The bitingly cold floor had no effect on him at all, but told him more clearly: he was still alive.

"You...tell me all this, for what purpose?" Ichimaru Gin suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

"I said, I just can't understand your refusal to become empty." Mole Chengshuang also sat on the steps, letting the coldness of the ground seep into his body.

"..." Ichimaru Gin did not answer this question immediately, because he really couldn't figure out the purpose of the mysterious man in front of him to tell him the secret about Aizen——

After pondering for a long time, Ichimaru Gin put away the exaggerated smile on his face and said slowly: "The reason why I can survive the long and boring years and endure the dark and hidden life is because of a memory from my childhood!

I would rather lose my life than remember being swallowed by the black hole of the void and become a tool that abandons all ties in pursuit of power."

"Whoosh..." Mole Chengshuang also raised his head, and a smile suddenly appeared on his originally expressionless face: "No wonder, no wonder you are in jail... but there are still people who love you regardless of everything -"

"What did you say?"

"Humph..." Mole Chengshuang did not answer. He turned around and left with the lantern. Slowly, the figure and light were submerged in the darkness again...

"..." Ichimaru Gin sat leaning against the wall, staring at the dark cage without blinking. A crystal tear slipped quietly: Is it... Rangiku?

…

"Vice Captain Matsumoto!" Harano Koumi, who was responsible for guarding the confession palace, stopped Matsumoto Rangiku and shouted: "Please restrain yourself and don't mess around here!"

"Go away!" Matsumoto Rangiku held the wine bottle in one hand and pushed the jailers in front of him with the other hand, shouting angrily: "Otherwise, I will deal with you too!"

"Vice Captain Matsumoto! Leave now before more pickets are attracted! Otherwise, Saito Sanchi's efforts will be in vain!" Harano Xiaohai desperately hugged Matsumoto Rangiku and said.

"I don't care! I have endured it for a long time, and I must ask him for an explanation this time!"

Matsumoto Rangiku stretched out her hand to pluck Harano Xiaohai's hair, and shouted fiercely: "If you stop me again, I will pluck all your hair off and make you become Madarame No. 2!"

"No! Vice Captain Matsumoto, stop it!"

"Stop!"

"Stop! Vice Captain Matsumoto, or we will report it to the captain!"

The other jailers were extremely anxious when they saw Matsumoto Rangiku not listening to her advice, but after seeing the fate of the last batch of corps pickets, they did not dare to act arrogantly towards her!

"Tch! Even if your captain comes, I will--" Matsumoto Rangiku didn't finish her words, and suddenly froze, because at some point, Feng Shen Taichi appeared behind everyone: "Let her go!"

"Captain!" Harano Xiaohai immediately noticed the appearance of Feng Shen Taichi and shouted excitedly. The other jailers also numbly let go of Matsumoto Rangiku's hand.

"Wind God, Captain Wind God..." Rangiku Matsumoto saw the captain of Division 9 arriving, but he didn't dare to act as recklessly as before. After all, the scene of being tied into a rice dumpling by him at the foot of Mianqiu Mountain was still vivid in his mind.

"Rangiku, come with me!" Taichi Feng Shen turned around and walked towards the confession palace. The jailers behind him wanted to stop him, but they didn't know how to speak. After all, this was their immediate boss!

"Captain!" Seeing Feng Shen Taichi pushing open the door of the Confession Palace, Harano Koumi finally couldn't help shouting: "Captain Yamamoto has an order. Without his permission, no one is allowed to meet Ichimaru Gin in private!"

"You must not make a mistake!"

Feng Shen Taichi smiled evilly and said: "Master Shan just stipulated that no one is allowed to meet 'privately', but now... Rangiku and I are going in to visit Ichimaru Gin openly!"

"But……"

"What a ghost! If anything goes wrong, I will be responsible for it!"

"..." After Yuanye Xiaohai heard this, he no longer struggled with Feng Shen Taiyi, and instead winked at a companion behind him.

Feng Shen Taichi saw this but didn't panic at all. He turned around and looked at the hesitant Matsumoto Rangiku and said, "Rangiku, don't you want to see Ichimaru Gin? Please!"

"..." Matsumoto Rangiku was very excited when she heard Taichi Fenggami say "take her to see Ichimaru Gin", but when she really wanted to go in, a trace of panic arose in her heart:

I heard that after Ichimaru Gin returned to Soul Society, he broke into the confessional palace regardless of the danger of his life, and even violated discipline and beat up the pickets just to see him...

Even if he is dealt with in the most severe manner by the captain or the commander-in-chief afterwards, it is ultimately his own business and will not implicate anyone else——

But,

Once he follows Fengshen Taiyi into the Confession Palace, he will not only be convicted of the serious crime of trespassing into the Confession Palace, but the latter will also be implicated and receive the most severe sanctions from the Jingling Court——

After all, Feng Shen Taiyi has been good at breaking the iron laws of the Serenity Court ever since he became the captain of Division 9, and he has never changed his ways despite repeated admonitions!

It is already under supervision. If it violates the law again because of this matter, the sages in Room 46 of the Central Committee are determined to send Feng Shen Taiyi to death!

That scene...
Chapter completed!
