"Not talking about the Tsunayashiro clan's matters, your file has also been organized into something very ordinary. But if someone had been paying attention beforehand, they should've been able to look through your earlier data, right?"
Rosse smiled, looking at Aizen in a teasing way.
There wasn't much data that Aizen had left in the Great Archive. He had graduated from the Shin'o Spiritual Arts Academy normally, become a vice-captain of the Fifth Division normally, and later, because the previous Fifth Division captain defected, he learned Bankai and became captain of the Fifth Division.
At the same time, during his tenure, Aizen was called the gentlest captain, treating every Shinigami kindly and gently.
What this file described was entirely the surface of Aizen in Soul Society, the side of himself that Aizen showed to everyone.
As for Aizen's Zanpakuto, the record was also just of an ordinary flowing-water-type Zanpakuto.
"If someone had been paying attention, no upheaval would have happened. But even you, Lord Rosse, can't be all-knowing and all-powerful, right."
The corners of Aizen's mouth held a smile, his words basically admitting what Rosse was implying.
Indeed. If someone had focused on him ahead of time, and it was even someone from the Tsunayashiro clan, then they really could have fished him out quickly.
However, with how arrogant the Tsunayashiro clan members are, how could they, among that vast ocean of information, deliberately search out someone named Aizen Sosuke?
The Great Archive records information, that is a database created by the Soul King, but the ones who read these materials are still people in the end.
If the people aren't up to it, then what use is there in having more data?
"It's just like how, if one were mindful about holding back, one could know that as long as one is cautious enough, the Great Archive won't record any special information."
Rosse said meaningfully, while at the same time finishing reading Gin Ichimaru's file.
This file was also very simple. Aizen had made some edits, but not that many.
"Why does Lord Rosse think that I wouldn't correct errors?", Aizen smiled.
"Because we're the same kind," Rosse smiled as well, "Once you notice certain people's mistakes, if I were you, I would deliberately leave the mistake in a conspicuous place, waiting for the day that person discovers it. In a boring, monotonous life, that's a rare bit of fun."
"Yeah, that is a rare bit of fun...", Aizen's face wore a warm smile, but he didn't really feel that way inside.
At this moment, he himself was also one of Rosse's amusements for passing the time.
Treating people as entertainment, the flavor of that is indescribably delightful.
But when you yourself become the entertainment, it gives you a rather complicated feeling.
Even so, overall, Aizen still felt happy inside.
At the very least, he had genuinely discovered someone of his own kind.
"But, Lord Rosse, in Rangiku Matsumoto's file, what is it that you're trying to find?", Aizen pushed up his glasses with one hand, an expression of curiosity on his face.
When it came to other people's files, he wouldn't deliberately modify them.
Because the Great Archive can only delete records, it cannot erase memories.
Some memories are branded into the hearts of those who experienced them. To change them would only be redundant.
As long as he changes what is related to himself, that's enough to deal with things.
"I'm looking for something interesting."
Rosse smiled, browsing through Rangiku Matsumoto's information as he softly recited:
"Captain Aizen, did you know? The Great Archive collected Rangiku Matsumoto's information from her birth up to 130 years ago. After that, there's a 30-year gap, and it wasn't until 100 years ago that the Great Archive started collecting again. Why do you think that is?"
"Yeah, why would that be?", Aizen's expression didn't change, and he also revealed a look of interest.
But since he was the one who pulled up this file, how could he possibly not know what was strange about it?
In reality, both he and Rosse clearly understood that this matter had something to do with him.
Aizen even knew that Rosse had already locked his sights onto him.
What used to be in Rangiku Matsumoto's body was the key to him resisting Rosse.
"Maybe some accident just happened."
Rosse smiled, and didn't keep pursuing the topic. Instead, he copied Aizen and operated the console for a while.
Before long, over a dozen files flew in front of Rosse.
These files were very mixed: there was information on Zero Division members, information on the original Gotei 13, and it even involved several high-ranking noble families.
This time, even Aizen didn't know which file was the one Rosse really wanted to read.
But he remembered all of them, and decided that in the future, when he had time, he would go through them all.
Whatever it was, if it was material that Rosse valued, then it was worth digging into deeply.
"All right, that's it for today. In a couple of days, I still have to go take a look at Rukongai and see what kind of surprise the Tsunayashiro clan has left for me."
Rosse stretched lazily, lazily pulled back his spiritual pressure, and walked out of the Great Archive.
"This surprise should satisfy Lord Rosse."
Aizen smiled slightly, casually deleted the access records of what they had just checked, and followed behind Rosse.
The two of them went in and out as if there were no one there, swaggering away right under the noses of Central 46.
———
During that time, no one noticed where the two of them had gone.
In the eyes of everyone else, the two of them were still in their respective division barracks, playing their respective roles.
With Aizen's spiritual pressure, he could already use his Shikai to cover the whole of Seireitei.
However, over in the Fifth Division, he was using a gigai to disguise himself.
But what was happening in Rosse's Tenth Division was a bit beyond Aizen's understanding.
The Rosse over there, whether in spiritual pressure or appearance, was completely identical to the Rosse in front of him.
Yet Aizen could inexplicably be sure that the one in front of him was the real body, and that one was just some kind of clone trick.
'Purifier... interesting, a sword with a clone-type ability, huh...', Watching Rosse's figure disappear around the corner, Aizen silently thought to himself.
When it came to everything about Rosse, Aizen felt he could never treat it too seriously.
Compared to Rosse, that experimental body of his in the World of the Living was more than just a little bit inferior.
But the information Rosse had given him today had also given him quite a bit of inspiration.
According to Rosse, the value of that experimental body was far higher than he had imagined.
Perhaps, that one was the form closest to the Soul King.
———
On the other side, Rosse was walking on the road back to the Tenth Division, the corners of his mouth carrying a constant smile.
What he wanted to find in the end just now was actually very simple.
He needed enough data to determine exactly what day today was.
The Great Archive's data is recorded according to a timeline, but its description of time is relatively vague, basically all in units of years.
For long-lived species like Shinigami, using years as a unit is normal.
But if he wanted to estimate the time of Yhwach's Auswahlen, he needed to reference multiple files to pinpoint the exact time.
After multiple comparisons, he finally determined the current point in time.
There were less than fifteen days left until Yhwach launched Auswahlen.
When the Sacred Selection happened, he very much wanted to be there to watch it in person.
