Chapter 4175 Custody
"Oh right, I remember now. He once said that if he could find someone, he would get some kind of reward. The reward seems pretty good, enough to make him and his girlfriend live a good life. It seems to be very attractive to him. He mentioned it when he was envisioning the future, saying that it would be great if he could find this person." System Xiao Hei thought for a while and then organized his thoughts before speaking.

"...Looking for someone? Who?" Linton asked immediately.

"Well... I asked him out of curiosity, but he didn't say," the system assistant Xiao Hei said anxiously.

Clearly, System Xiao Hei was worried that Linton would be angry after speaking, so it quickly added, "I really don't know, he definitely didn't mention anything about that..."

Although Linton could roughly tell from the tone of the system's voice that what the other party said was true, he was still quite unhappy.

The reason for the displeasure is not only because the other person's behavior of leaving things unfinished is quite uncomfortable, although it is not something he wants, but it is indeed unpleasant.

Besides that, for some reason, when the system Xiao Hei mentioned finding someone, something inexplicably surfaced in his mind. It was as if he also had a vague mission... yes, it should be called a mission, it felt like he was trying to find someone.

The thing that System Xiao Hei mentioned seemed to have activated an impression in Linton's mind, as if he had come here to find someone.

But he only had this feeling suddenly; he couldn't recall the specific details at all, such as who sent him to find someone, or why he was looking for them. He vaguely remembered the person he was looking for as a woman, but that was all. He didn't even know what she looked like or what their relationship was.

With a "bang," Linton casually smashed the head of the system, Xiao Hei, in front of him, mainly just to vent his sudden frustration.

Before the system could repair itself, Linton shouted to the side, "Aizen."

"Yes, I'm here." Aizen suddenly appeared beside Linton, as if lifting a curtain from the void. Yes, although Linton hadn't sensed it carefully, he knew that Aizen had probably been observing (or rather, harassing) them the whole time. Sure enough, he appeared immediately upon being called.

“This guy is still somewhat useful. Is there any way to put him in jail?” Linton said to Aizen.

He was referring to System Black, of course, and Linton really wanted to take it with him. Not to have it as a team member to do his work, though, since it had no loyalty whatsoever and was quite troublesome.

But this guy does have some information he wants in his head, and it's unclear whether he's gotten it all out yet. Leaving aside what he hasn't gotten out yet, what he's already gotten is enough for Linton to take him along. What if he gets something else out of him later?

However, we can't just take this troublesome guy to another world. What if he suddenly runs away like he does in this world and causes a lot of trouble? Look, it's even caused Aizen some trouble. It took him a long time to force him out. There was also an element of luck involved. After all, the fact that things went so smoothly this time was mainly due to Takaoka Yūnori's accidental help.

If this thing is brought back to the main world, and a similar situation occurs again, then Linton will be the one with the headache and annoyance.

"Actually... bringing him back to the guild base shouldn't cause any problems," Aizen said after thinking for a moment. "Currently, this guy's greatest ability might not be usable in other worlds." Aizen was referring to the ability to absorb emotional energy, mainly because emotional energy seems to be a rather special kind of energy in this world.

People in other worlds certainly have emotions, but they don't form anything like emotional energy. Aizen is, of course, the most qualified to speak on this matter.

Back when he was researching how to "break through the heavens," he studied everything. The Shinigami's methods, the Hollows' methods, even the Quincy's methods—as long as it could help him break through his limitations, he had no scruples.

If his world contained anything like emotional energy, he would definitely notice it. But clearly, there is no such thing. This suggests that emotional energy is likely a unique mechanism of this world, or perhaps... we could try taking this system, Xiao Hei, to another world to see if it could trigger some specific mechanism change that would cause emotional energy to appear in that world?

Thinking about it this way, Aizen felt that this experimental material was becoming more and more valuable.

Of course, that's what he thought. But when Aizen and Linton spoke, they clearly didn't say it that way. Instead, they said, "In a world without the internet and live streaming, it would be difficult to find a way to absorb large amounts of emotional energy, and it would be easy to find his trail. Because in such a world, the density of people is directly proportional to the concentration of emotional energy, making it very difficult to hide."

Linton understood Aizen's meaning: if this guy were placed in the main world, he wouldn't cause any trouble.

Linton thought about it and felt that Aizen's words made some sense.

"However, just to be on the safe side, let me study this first. Maybe I can figure out a suitable solution. Don't set it as a team member yet; let me study it for a while first." Aizen said, licking his lips slightly. It seemed he couldn't hide his desire to experiment on it.

Linton did notice some of it, but he didn't care much.

If you take the system's little black character back, you don't have to put it back in the main world. You can just put it in Aizen's Bleach world for a while and see how it goes.

After all, that world is quite unique. The human world is a modern society with the internet and live streaming. But the Seireitei is like an ancient society, with nothing at all. You can do experiments there, which seems quite suitable.

If trouble does arise, it's trouble for that world. Anyway, Aizen seems to have turned his original world into a large-scale experimental field, and even dragged Urahara Kisuke into it to help with experiments. They themselves aren't worried, so why should Linton be?

"Alright then, you can have this guy for now. Make sure you get all the details, no matter how small," Linton said.

"Okay, leave this to me." Aizen looked excitedly at the system, Kuro, whose body had just been restored. He had finally gotten his turn.
