398 Courage to peek into the truth

"Thank you Venerable for your help today, if you allow Zongchun to collide with the pagoda, I am afraid it will become a shame for Kawasaki Daishi Temple, and I have no shame to face Kukai Sensei."

"Eh, I said, between you and this MAX-B actress, what the hell...... Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this should involve personal privacy, Brother Kobo, you didn't ask me. ”

Could it be that I thought about it before, in fact, this Kobo and that Miss Kato were a pair of lovers before they became monks, but later they were attracted to the talent of Kobo by the host of Kukai and lured him into Buddhism......

Sousuke Araki was confused, and he wanted to stop talking, but he had already sketched out the emotional drama of "the new version of the ship" in his mind.

That's why Miss Kato became a nun in a fit of rage, and worked part-time to shoot action movies on weekdays for a living, and by the way, she stimulated revenge and propagated the Dharma......

In his eyes, the shiny head of the Dharma in front of him had somehow turned into a dark green like charcoal.

"Roar, this guy really couldn't help but ask! Stupid human beings will only pursue the truth in a vague way, but they don't know if they really have the courage to get a glimpse of the cruel truth under the veil......"

Mai Hanyu, who had been hiding behind the pillar and "secretly shooting", seemed to have seen something, poked her head out to hide her mouth and lowered her eyebrows, revealing a fox-like treacherous smile.

"Venerable Araki is serious, people in the Buddhist sect are frank and open, and there is nothing to say to others, let alone His Holiness to ask."

Kobo sighed, his face showing a look of remembrance, and he spoke eloquently.

"Zong Chun, who was the last closed disciple of Kukai Sensei, grew up in the temple with me since childhood, and no one else has a talent for Buddhism. At the age of twelve, he read through the temple's scriptures and became the youngest sendashi in the history of Kawasaki Daishiji Temple......"

"It's coming, it's really a childhood sweetheart...... Wait, that old monk of Kukai still dares to take the little nun as an apprentice?"

Sosuke Araki curiously crouched in front of Kobo, elongating and listening to him, while secretly slandering himself.

"However, after a retreat six years ago, Senior Brother Zongchun said that he had encountered great confusion in his cultivation, and he needed to prove the Tao to break the demons in his heart, so he went to Thailand alone......"

"Oh, I see...... Well? Bro? Went to Thailand? ”

Sosuke Araki blinked sluggishly, roaring silently like a beast, as if to warn him of his hidden danger.

"That's right, after returning from Thailand, Senior Brother Zongchun not only turned into a daughter to continue his practice, but also claimed to have entered the art world to develop ...... because he realized the difference between gender, the love between men and women, and the desire of all beings."

"So...... So, so, so ......"

Sousuke Araki's brain, which lost the ability to think because of the amount of information, just subconsciously echoed it.

"Back then, Senior Brother Zongchun was the youngest and most promising monk in our Kawasaki Master Temple......"

Kobo sighed and took out his phone from under his robe, clicked on a photo, and looked at it with a remembrance in his eyes.

"If it weren't for the fact that he went astray and was swept out of the house by Mr. Kukai in a rage, he must have been the host here today."

On the screen, in the photo with the words "The 64th Annual Meeting of the All Japan Buddhist Association", in the first row of shiny bald heads, standing between Kukai and Kobo is a handsome and masculine young monk with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

"However, Zongchun has been very easy to drill into the tip of the horns of Buddhism since he was a child, and if he is rude to His Holiness in the future, I hope that for the sake of Kawasaki Master Temple, he will be left with a way to live."

"No, don't talk about it, let me take a look at it first...... Kato sits ...... No, Junko, yes, yes, yes? Moreover, he is still a monk who grew up in your temple? ”

Squatting in front of the temple gate, Sosuke Araki only felt that he wanted to cry without tears, and from his feet to his head, he began to gradually turn gray.

“…… This, this is not scientific...... Moreover, who is going to leave a way for whom?! ”

Thinking of what the other party said before leaving, it was as if there was a burst of electricity rushing through his body, making people feel numb from the tail vertebrae to the scalp.

After this month, the "scientific worldview" that he had managed to reconstruct with great difficulty is gradually collapsing.

……

Taito-ku, Kuramae Apartment.

It was 6 p.m., and night fell early in Tokyo.

Taito District, which was devastated a month ago, has now been cleaned up of the debris from all over the street and restored to its original cleanliness.

The buildings that were originally destroyed by the tornado are also full of scaffolding and partition walls, like a large-scale construction site rebuilt after a disaster.

For everything that happened on the night of Obon, it is officially called the "Obon Tornado Natural Disaster" and the "Galactic Alliance Sect Hallucinogenic Salin Gas Tragedy".

Thanks to the early evacuation efforts of the government agency "Wise", the death toll in this successive catastrophic events was kept to the triple digits, and the damage was minimized compared to the number of buildings damaged and the 100,000 people who died in the Great Kanto Earthquake.

————

The day after the incident, the Japanese government announced that the "Taito Ward Restoration Fund", jointly established by the government, the Doomon Foundation, and the International Humanitarian Aid Organization, would fund the restoration of Taito City, which had been almost completely razed to the ground, and would also be responsible for "cleaning up the residual poison gas after the disaster."

In addition to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, rescue teams and construction teams organized by Ichi, Nifu, and 43 prefectures across Japan also rushed to the scene to assist as soon as possible.

While the handling of the incident by the authorities before and after the incident has been impeccable, it does not answer the questions that are hidden in people's hearts.

Regarding the dark red gate that suddenly appeared in the night sky and spewed black gas, and the giant figure that closed the door in the black fog, the official and various media maintained a rare silence, always prevaricating on the grounds of "a large-scale 3D holographic projection made by the Galactic Alliance Sect".

As for the rumored words "Hell Gate", they did not appear in any official information from beginning to end.

In contrast to Taito, which looks like a large construction site, the parking lot of the Kuramae Apartment, which is located at the center of the incident, has been built with a 20-meter-high wall that covers the rooftop, making it impossible to see inside.

Above the high wall, in addition to the high-voltage power grid to prevent climbing, there are also dense spirit detectives that can see the situation inside and outside the high wall.

At the main entrance of the apartment, a heavy giant iron gate was built, and the words "Standing and Prohibited" were printed on the outer wall, making it look like a military restricted area.

A young girl wearing a high school skirt and uniform rode a red bicycle under the dim street lamp and came to the main entrance of the apartment at a gallop.

This high school girl, who had obviously just finished school and rushed over before she had time to change her clothes, stood in front of the iron gate of the heavily guarded Kuramae apartment, giving people a strong sense of disobedience.

Seeing the girl, several men in black suits immediately stepped forward to salute her respectfully in the guard room: "Good evening, little bird maiden!" It's not your turn today, why did you come over...... It must be very hard to stick to your studies every day and take turns after class, so please pay attention to rest and take care of your health. ”

"Well, it's supposed to be Yamada-kun's shift today...... You don't have to worry about me, I'm here, just waiting for someone. ”

The girl leaned her bicycle against the door of the guardhouse, and with her slender little thumb brushed the windswept hair behind her ears, and looked in the direction she had come from with a flushed face and worried eyes.
