Mt. Todai, a few months ago, was an obscure hill that the locals who lived there did not necessarily know about, but now it has become a famous mountain resort in the transcendent era.

the first known location of a transcendent event;

the seat of the first Awakened God;

The first mountain to be transformed by the power of the gods......

For the first time, many transcendent lovers on the Internet regard Mt. Todai as a symbol of transcendent awakening and worship it as a holy place.

Even today, when many gods have awakened, the population of Mt. Todai and Todai Shrine has not decreased much, and there are crowds of people who come to worship every day.

It was not the first time that Takaoka had come to Mt. Todai, and on the second day after the birth of the god of Todai, he and many dignitaries came to meet the god of Mount Todai.

Tens of meters of hills were forcibly raised into hundreds of meters of peaks, and to this day he can still recall the shock in his heart, the once elongated and somewhat messy mountain road may be the most pious approach he has ever walked in his life.

The violently elongated mountain path has been renovated with new stone slabs, and all the pilgrims on the trail have been replaced by curious young people, so it is more appropriate to say that they are visiting the shrine rather than visiting the shrine.

Takaoka Yuto walked the long approach in silence with several police officers from the special department, and instead of going to the main hall with other worshippers, he walked to the apse under the guidance of several shrine maidens.

Today is the birthday of the Todai Shinjo of Todai Shrine, and although it stands to reason that there is no need for him to come as the head of the special department, he still got rid of his busy official duties and chose to come.

The god lord of Hutai sat on the cushion with a solemn expression, still dressed in the same meticulous and old-fashioned manner, but in the eyes of a criminal police officer who had been fighting for many years, he found that his demeanor had languished a lot, and even his waist was bent down a little.

Todai Asako knelt next to him, as if she already knew the intention of Takaoka Xiongdou, she bit her lower lip tightly, and her face was a little pale.

After saying hello to each other, the two sides fell silent again, although today was the day of the birthday, there was no atmosphere that should be there, and even the shrine maidens around them were silent.

"Minister."

A police officer behind him spoke softly, and Gao Gangxiongdou pursed his lips.

He took a small box from the officer's hand and pushed it to the Todai Divine Lord's lap.

"Todai Police is an excellent police officer who has faced supernatural events many times and made indelible contributions to the nation of Japan and the people."

"As the head of the Intelligence Division of the Special Division, she is also the youngest department chief of the Special Division, and she is a reliable back that all police officers really admire."

"During the recent crisis, she led twenty-four police officers into danger, brought back extremely valuable data and information for the Special Division, and covered the safe evacuation of four police officers."

"The whereabouts of the other 20 police officers are unknown, and the Special Department is unable to take effective measures to seek help."

"Based on the analysis of the available intelligence, it can be judged that the head of the household station and the other 20 police officers have died."

“......”

"Please also ask the god of Todai... Condolences change. ”

"Here, it's part of the relics of the head of the Todai Division, and we hope to take her home."

As Gao Gangxiong's voice fell, the room was quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.

"Ayako, she—" Ayako's mother sobbed under her breath.

"Sister... She..."

Asako Todai's voice trembled a little, and she retorted in a low voice.

"Maybe you just got lost in there..."

“......”

Gao Gang looked at the darling of the special department and the goddess of the mountain god, and found that her eyelashes were shaking, and her lips were pursed into a line.

Obviously, she didn't want to believe this fact.

"Although I'm very sorry, but in the record report submitted by the surviving police officers, the head of the Todai Division and they carried the killing stone deep into the country, and finally encountered the troops of the ghost clan, and there was no communication after that, according to the extraordinary conversation in Miyazu City, the killing stone has fallen into the hands of the drunken boy."

"Moreover, in the post-mortem analysis of yesterday's Santuchuan incident by the Special Department, among the ghosts that appeared in Dajiangshan, it was found that there was a suspected existence of the uniform of the Special Department, and it was suspected that they were police officers killed in the war of the Intelligence Division."

"To sum up, the probability of survival of the head of the household station and the other 20 police officers is close to zero."

Gao Gang Xiongdou hung his head slightly, as if he was a little unbearable, but his straightforward words were quite ruthless.

"That's enough, Asako."

The Todai Divine Lord waved his hand.

He looked directly at the box in front of him, and on the box was a photo of Ayako Todai's tense face.

His cloudy gaze was a little dazed, and he looked at the photo and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ayako, she has been extremely strong since she was a child, a girl, but she is covered with wounds every day, and even boys are afraid of her."

"She has never been willing to get too close to us, or even to talk to us more, only Asako can make her closer."

"Speaking of which, it may be because I am too strict with her, which has led to her rebellious mentality."

"Originally, she was supposed to inherit this shrine as my heir, and she never objected to it, even though she was slightly dissatisfied."

"Until one time later, she suddenly said she didn't want to stay at home."

"It's the first time I've seen her look like that, I don't know what's going on, but I know I can't stop her."

"She dropped out of school, transferred to Wenjing District, and then ...... back"

"She won't want to go back to this home."

The body of the god of Totai suddenly stiffened, and when the younger daughter said that he would bring the eldest daughter back two days ago, although he was calm and light on the surface, he couldn't help but be happy behind the scenes.

As a result, I didn't expect it to be this kind of return in the end.

The old fingers brushed over the photograph, as if trying to remove the nervous expression from the photograph.

"Ayako, she chose to become a police officer, and she told me that she was always mindful of 'justice', and I had no reason to stop her."

"Choosing to become a police officer, and it is for justice, then presumably today's result has already been rehearsed in her mind."

"As a father, I am saddened by this outcome."

"But as a father, I have to support my daughter's choice."

As if he found that he couldn't caress his daughter's tense face, the old father stopped his hand, but his body was more rickety.

"I am not a qualified father, as a father, but I have never understood my daughter, I can only watch her go away step by step."

"In the end, I couldn't even find my way home..."

Gao Gang Xiongdou didn't speak again, just looked down at the floor, and let the remaining family of three vent their emotions, as did the few police officers behind him.

It wasn't until a long time that Asako Todai helped her limp mother to leave, and the god lord of Todai straightened his waist again, and his expression immediately returned to his usual meticulousness.

"Minister Gao Gang came here in person today, which is really a great blessing for the old man."

"I see that the shrine maiden behind you seems to be a little anxious, I wonder if there is anything I can help with?"

was seen by the god of Hutai at a glance, Tiandu was really a little embarrassed, and looked at Gao Gang Xiongdou with low eyebrows.

Gao Gang Xiongdou raised his head, but there was nothing to be embarrassed about, the birthday celebration was real, and it was also true to send the relics of Ayako home from Totai, and it was not hypocritical.

"As the god can see, this is the transcendent shrine maiden of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, and this time I came to Mount Todai to meet the god of Mount Todai."
