"Let's go. There's still some distance from here to Central 46. I'm very familiar with the Tenth Division's patrol teams, but there might still be Shinigami roaming around at night, so we need to be careful on the way," Rosse reminded her.
"I understand, Captain Rosse. It's just that with the Shiba family's Stealth Spirit Orb, once you input spiritual pressure, it can form barrier after barrier that blocks prying eyes. But only captain level spiritual pressure can block captain level probing."
Shiba Kukaku took out a black sphere. These were the Shiba family's heritage, treasures passed down from ten thousand years ago to this day.
Too bad her spiritual pressure wasn't strong enough. Otherwise she could have entered the Great Archive on her own without relying on Rosse's help.
"With this thing, it's even less possible for us to be discovered."
Rosse knew the Shiba family had lots of good stuff, but he hadn't expected something like this.
Just holding it once, he knew this thing wasn't ordinary.
And inside this thing, if his senses weren't wrong, there should be a portion of the power of the world, something that represents part of the world's rules.
In simple words, the essence of this thing was a fragment of the Soul King's body.
The Hogyoku that Aizen dreamed of had materials similar to this. It was just that the rule for Aizen's thing was evolution, while the Stealth Spirit Orb's essence was concealment.
If he were the one holding this orb, unless it was the Soul King himself, even if he stood right in front of that monk from the Zero Division, the other side still wouldn't find him.
This wasn't Kyoka Suigetsu. Kyoka Suigetsu was an illusion, and illusions inevitably had flaws.
The stronger someone was, even if they were affected, the duration of that influence would be shorter.
But the concealment of this Stealth Spirit Orb was already concealment at the rule level.
Under Shiba Kukaku's instruction, Rosse only needed a few minutes to learn how to use the Stealth Spirit Orb.
With the orb, the two of them didn't need to hide at all. They just walked straight into the Great Archive like they owned the place.
During that time, they even ran into Kyoraku Shunsui on the road.
Shiba Kukaku had been so scared her legs almost went weak, but when she realized Kyoraku Shunsui hadn't noticed them, what remained was just thick, overwhelming shock.
She had to know the concealment effect of the Stealth Spirit Orb was related to spiritual pressure.
Simply put, if someone of Second Class Spirit Rank used the orb, a First Class Spirit Rank would easily detect them.
But First Class Spirit Rank Kyoraku Shunsui couldn't see through the Stealth Spirit Orb maintained by Rosse at all. That alone was enough to show Rosse's strength.
Shiba Kukaku never imagined that Rosse was also a First Class Spirit Rank powerhouse.
As for anything above that, Shiba Kukaku wouldn't even think in that direction.
In the entire Soul Society, only Captain Commander Yamamoto and the Zero Division could surpass First Class Spirit Rank. No matter how much she overestimated Rosse, she still wouldn't put him on the same level as Captain Commander Yamamoto.
.
.
.
Just like that, without any danger, the two of them arrived at the Great Archive.
Looking at the familiar yet empty area in front of them, Rosse observed the place and said, "Can you operate it? I heard that doing research here leaves a record. Don't let it be discovered."
"Relax. Our Shiba family is still one of the Five Great Noble Clans. When the Great Archive was created, we already existed. All five noble clans left back doors here."
Shiba Kukaku chuckled. She simply didn't want to learn too many things, but that didn't mean her family lacked records, nor did it mean she didn't understand them.
When it really came time to use them, she wouldn't mess up.
Walking forward full of confidence, she placed her hand on the console of the Great Archive.
As spiritual particles were input, the entire Great Archive lit up.
This scene was far more impressive than when Aizen had been searching through it.
Countless documents flew toward Shiba Kukaku, arranged neatly, waiting for her to browse.
'Tsk! Honestly, worthy of being one of the Five Great Noble Clans.'
Seeing this scene, Rosse couldn't help feeling impressed.
When Aizen came here back then, whether it was search speed or response speed, he wasn't as fast as Shiba Kukaku.
And clearly, Shiba Kukaku was here for the first time, while Aizen had been here who knew how many times.
The difference between the two really was like the difference between a VIP user and a regular user.
Shiba Kukaku didn't have the time to explain to Rosse. She focused completely on the data search.
Although no one normally came to the Great Archive, you never knew, so better to finish checking quickly and leave. They'd have plenty of time to chat afterward.
As Shiba Kukaku kept flipping through information, her hand wouldn't stop trembling, and the sadness in her eyes never went away.
"The Feng family… Kyoraku Shunsui… Ukitake Jushiro… Aizen Sosuke… Tosen Kaname… heh, this Seireitei really is terrifyingly filthy."
'Hm?'
Hearing Shiba Kukaku's quiet muttering, a bit of surprise flashed in Rosse's eyes.
From Shiba Kukaku's mouth, he seemed to hear several very serious names.
'Logically speaking, Aizen should have cleaned up everything. Shiba Kukaku can still find info on him?'
'This VIP permission seems a little different from what I expected.'
Fortunately, ever since he learned about the Great Archive, he had already been consciously avoiding it.
The principle behind the archive's information gathering was simple. The entire Soul Society was made of spiritual particles. Any action that caused spiritual particle fluctuations would be recorded by the Great Archive.
But each fluctuation was only recorded. To find what you wanted among the vast number of spiritual fluctuations, you would have to rely on identifying the spiritual particles, pinpoint them to a specific person, then search all fluctuations related to that person.
Once he understood that, there was a way to avoid it.
He just needed to suppress surrounding spiritual particle fluctuations, or make sure the fluctuations didn't trigger the gallery's recording mechanism.
Every time Rosse planned something, he not only blocked the Wandenreich and that one in Muken, he also blocked the Great Archive.
Only during ordinary times would he release this suppression and let the gallery record as it pleased.
Now that he looked at it, different people really did have different permissions.
Aizen's backdoor, while crude, still let him search normally, edit, and delete.
But clearly the Five Noble Clans' permissions were above those of normal people. They could not only search, edit, and delete, but also view modified and deleted content.
Now the question was, what information had Shiba Kukaku seen?
Rosse wasn't in a hurry.
Knowing Shiba Kukaku's personality, he would find out soon enough.
If Shiba Kukaku hid something, then there was only one possible reason. Even some of his own actions had been recorded.
But that situation was basically impossible.
If he had been so careful yet still got recorded by the Great Archive, then there was no way he could hide from the Soul King. He might as well run off and find another world to invade.
