Chapter 57 The Soul Society still has Aizen to thank.
[Bleach]: I'm telling you, Aizen is coming to my Shinigami Institute of Technology.
Shen Yi opened his eyes somewhat groggily, only then realizing that he had gone to the Eighth Division yesterday to ask Kyoraku Shunsui for someone, but the guy made excuses and even dragged him to drink and carouse. He had come back in a daze and was only now feeling a bit more awake.
Sigh, drinking leads to trouble!
[Mechanical Era]: Are you sure?
Upon hearing this news, Shen Yi and the others were stunned. This...this isn't right, is it?
[The Legend of the Condor Heroes]: This doesn't make sense, shouldn't he be playing a good guy now?
Although playing a good guy doesn't prevent him from joining the Shin-O Institute of Technology, it still feels a bit strange.
[Resident Evil]: Seriously, are the Grim Reapers all that free? How come they can even do part-time jobs?
[Death God]: Seems like they really have a lot of free time, otherwise there wouldn't be a Male Death God Association and a Female Death God Association.
—Although the Male Death God Association has not yet been established.
Ah... that's hard to refute!
[Harry Potter]: Hiss—this feels even stranger than Voldemort suddenly applying to join the Order of the Phoenix.
A villainous boss suddenly applies to join the good guys' organization. Something doesn't seem right. Wait, are you a good guy?
Shen Yi: ……
What kind of talk is that? How am I not a good guy?
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: You agreed?
[Grim Reaper]: What else? What reason do I have to refuse? He's the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, with an excellent reputation in Seireitei. He's gentle, kind, and helpful. All the captains consider him a reliable junior. If I refuse him without a reason, wouldn't that be blatantly telling everyone that I see something wrong with him?
Shen Yi's group: ...
That's true. He can't afford to break ties with Aizen right now. Putting aside the difference in spiritual pressure, Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu is just too unfair. If they really fight, you won't even know where he is.
[Automata]: Wait, I still don't understand why Aizen joined the Central Institute of Technology? Given his personality, shouldn't he be conducting his own experiments in the shadows?
In the original story, Aizen was experimented on by the vagrants of Rukongai, and then on Shinigami, and even captain-level Shinigami, which led to Kisuke Urahara and the others' defection.
But why does he suddenly want to join the Central Institute of Technology now? Even if Shen Yi had wanted to promote the cultivation of spirit rice in Hueco Mundo, that hasn't been achieved yet, has it?
Even if Aizen were a genius, he couldn't have foreseen Shen Yi's plans. After all, even Shen Yi wasn't sure if he could develop Spirit Rice that could survive in Hueco Mundo.
[Resident Evil]: Of course, it's because they're short of money and manpower.
Shen Yi, from the Resident Evil world, reveals the truth in a single sentence.
This money may not be related to money, but it is definitely related to resources. For example, he needs manpower to collect resources when he does scientific research, and he also needs assistants for some less important experiments. So, out of desperation, he can only clone the high-ranking people in the Umbrella cryogenic chamber and brainwash them into his subordinates.
As for the original body, it was destined to die.
And what about Aizen now?
Because he is being watched by Shinji Hirako, he is currently only a vice-captain. With his financial resources, he can at most own a laboratory that is probably smaller than the captain's mansion, and perhaps a few more experimental subjects hypnotized by Kyoka Suigetsu.
With such limited resources, even the most brilliant person would struggle to conduct experiments on etherealization, study the structure of the soul, or tinker with the Hogyoku.
In the original story, he did indeed spend over two hundred years planning, but now that there's a shortcut, why bother planning slowly?
[Machine Age]: What you say makes sense. Aizen is probably still in the accumulation phase at this stage. He may already have ideas about Soul Society, but his strength is not yet sufficient.
Shen Yi from the Mechanical Era world also realized what was happening. There was nothing he could do; he had the backing of the powerful androids, and theoretically, the entire Earth belonged to him, so naturally, he wasn't lacking in resources.
Aizen is probably similar to Kisuke Urahara now, still researching the limits of Shinigami. He may have started developing his own power, but he has no intention of becoming a hair gel hand and standing high in the sky. After all, he hasn't even created the Hogyoku yet, and he may not even have a clear understanding of the existence of the Soul King.
To put it bluntly, Aizen just wanted to take advantage of the resources and talent of the Shinigami Institute. After all, the institute was affiliated with the Gotei 13 and had investment from nobles, so its equipment and facilities were top-notch. Kiryu Hikifune and Kisuke Urahara were both affiliated with the institute. If Aizen could get in, it would be equivalent to having direct access to the most advanced research team in Soul Society.
[Harry Potter]: And don't forget, what is Aizen's greatest skill? Disguise! In the Shinigami Institute of Technology, he can conduct experiments openly and legitimately, without even having to sneak around. All he has to do is release some research results, package them up, and the Soul Society will have to thank Aizen.
[Grim Reaper]: In a way, he doesn't even need to pretend.
Shen Yi got out of bed, started washing his face and brushing his teeth, and couldn't help but sigh.
To reiterate, while Aizen is certainly not a good person, the Gotei 13 are not a righteous organization either. They were originally a group of murderers, and their duty is to protect the stable cycle of the three realms, not to maintain peace in the three realms.
The most typical example is Jin Ke La, cough cough, it's Tosen Kaname. He's a friend who witnessed her husband murdering his colleagues and ended up dying at his hands, which is why she became Aizen's loyal follower.
Because the female grim reaper's husband was a member of one of the four most famous noble families, the Central 46 Chambers sentenced him to be expelled from the 13th Division of the Gotei 13, and he was not even allowed to go to jail. Instead, he was placed under the care of the Tsunayoshi family.
Even two hundred years from now, when Mayuri Kurotsuchi joins the Technology Development Bureau, all his team members will have poison implanted in their bodies. He will control the detonation device and they can explode on the battlefield at any time, used as human bombs. When Yamamoto found out about this, he didn't say a harsh word.
See, even the lives of Shinigami are so worthless in the eyes of those higher-ups. When Aizen conducts experiments at the Shinigami Institute of Technology, as long as he doesn't make things too messy, no one else cares.
"I feel like I've become an accomplice."
Shen Yi scratched his head, feeling an even bigger headache. He definitely needed to find someone to help the deputy captain. He had an idea!
Shen Yi suddenly realized that Shiba Kaien seemed quite suitable. Although the Shiba family had been kicked out of the five great noble families, their foundation was still intact. Moreover, this family was much stronger than those noble families. At least they were genuinely good people and would not use the lives of ryukun as materials.
That's settled then. I'll ask the Shiba family for help. —By the way, has Shiba Kukaku grown up yet?
Just as Shen Yi was pondering how to trick Zhi Bo's family into fighting, his mind suddenly started ringing incessantly.

[Death God]: Another newcomer? Welcome, welcome. Report to the world, report on the situation.
Shen Yi's eyes lit up. The new Shen Yi meant a new power system, and even if it was just five more brains, the boost to him would be very strong.
