Before Uchiha Senmon could stop him, Inspector Okita took out his iPad, retrieved the internal files of Investigation Section 4, and handed it to the old priest.

"These are the records of the supernatural within the Metropolitan Police Department. Whether it's the monsters and evil spirits that appeared after 1997, or the supernatural war that destroyed Sapporo the day before yesterday, the video footage is all in it!"

"This... these are all true... how is this possible?"

The old priest took the iPad handed to him by Inspector Okita in confusion, clicked on the videos one by one, and saw all kinds of incredible and extraordinary spells. His pupils trembled violently and his body began to tremble.

Does it really exist? Extraordinary power!

This kind of god-like power that can make clouds and rain with a flip of the hand and the sky and the earth shake with a wave of the hand actually exists on the earth!

Could it be that Konohana Sakuyahime-no-Mikoto, who is enshrined in the Sengen Shrine, really exists in this world?

Then why, as an old priest who has been in the profession for fifty or sixty years, has he never listened to the oracle and gained extraordinary powers?

Could it be that he was abandoned by Konohana Sakuyahime-kun because he was obsessed with money and had an impious faith?

"What on earth have I been doing with my life? Just for a few bucks, I wasted my life and the most precious opportunity!"

Why do I have to wait until I am old and decrepit to realize the truth of the world? The gods are right beside me and supernatural powers are at my fingertips, but I am only concerned with chasing after worldly wealth and power. Buying the casket and returning the pearl cannot even describe one tenth of my stupidity.

Even if she wanted to repent to Konohanasakiyahime-no-mikoto, she didn't have time to do so, and she might even be punished after death.

"Youyou Cang Tian, ​​how can you treat me less favorably?"

The old priest was overwhelmed with grief and anger. His face turned black and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground unconscious.

Inspector Okita was stunned for a moment, and Uchiha Senmon was also stunned.

After finally sending the old priest to the hospital and cleaning up the mess, Inspector Okita couldn't help but feel discouraged.

"It seems that he really knows nothing. This is the second time I've made a mistake. The last time, I took the fat guy who recognized Minamoto no Raikou as his ancestor and sent him to the Metropolitan Police Department by mistake, thinking he was a superhuman."

Inspector Okita was originally a member of the Type B-02 surveillance team. After the evil spirit was exorcised by the Onimusha, he was finally freed from prison.

People feel refreshed when good things happen to them. In less than a month, Inspector Okita, who was originally described as haggard like a terminally ill patient, gained 20 kilograms.

But at this moment, Inspector Okita looked worried.

"You also leaked the Metropolitan Police Department's files to outsiders. You may even be punished by Section Chief Akagi."

"Don't worry so much. There is already news that the time to disclose the truth to the public has been put on the agenda. Your mistake this time is not a serious problem."

Uchiha Senmon smiled gently and patted Inspector Okita on the shoulder.

"And I was right beside you, but I couldn't stop you. I am also responsible. I will go with you to ask Section Chief Akagi for mercy."

"Thank you so much, Uchiha Inspector! I am so grateful that I don't know how to repay you!"

Inspector Okita clasped his hands together and cried with gratitude.

"Nothing. We are all colleagues in Investigation Section 4. We should help each other."

Uchiha Senmon smiled, but there was fatigue deep in his eyes.

Section Chief Akagi had arranged for him to search Mount Fuji for more than a week, but apart from dozens of bodies of suicide victims in the Aokigahara Forest, he had found nothing.

No clues about Penglai or the elixir of immortality were found.

Uchiha Senmon was feeling somewhat anxious. Not only was there no progress in the search, Section Chief Akagi had also privately hinted to him that the Metropolitan Police Department might very well merge Investigation Section 4 and Public Security Section 5.

I heard that Public Security Section 5 was in charge of searching the waters of Wakasa Bay, but they didn't find any trace of mermaids or Horai.

Investigation Section 4 and Public Security Section 5 are now on the same starting line.

Whoever can seize the initiative and produce results first will surely be in an advantageous position in the subsequent merger.

"Even the chief priest of Sengen Taisha Shrine is completely unaware of supernatural matters. Is it true that, as the expert group has inferred, the supernatural heritage in Japan has been cut off?"

Uchiha Senmon frowned and thought: "Or is my inference wrong? Penglai is not pointing to Mount Fuji?"

"Also, Mr. Tosu, are you all right in Yokosuka Port?"

After the negotiations, Tosu Hideo surrendered to the Metropolitan Police Department and was naturally transferred to Yokosuka Port for "physical examination" and "protection".

As for the subsequent arrangements, it is not something a small police officer of Uchiha Senmen can interfere with.

However, at the request of Tosu Hideo, Uchiha Senmen has already buried Mr. Moribe's remains.

Mamiya Moribe was also transferred to the best hospital in Tokyo for treatment and is no longer in danger of death.

But now he is still in a nearly vegetative state and is unconscious. Although Uchiha Senmon applied for Dr. Satomi to treat him, the response he received after reporting to higher authorities was that it is still under review.

Uchiha Senmon did his best to accomplish the three things that Tosu Hero asked for.

"Where should the investigation go next?"

To be honest, Uchiha Senmon's head is a mess right now. There have been too many things happening recently, and many things that make him worried emerge one after another. Even a workaholic like him feels a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, Uchiha Senmon's private phone rang.

Uchiha Senmon picked up the phone and frowned. It was an unfamiliar number.

But only close people knew about this private phone call. He hesitated for a moment and picked up the phone.

"Uncle Uchiha?"

"Tsukimi! Are you okay?"

Uchiha Senmon's face showed an expression of surprise and joy. After the battle of Sapporo City, the Metropolitan Police Department had been looking for Tsukimi Inaba's whereabouts, but found nothing. They even suspected that she was involved in the war between the extraordinary people and her body was nowhere to be found.

He had always been worried about the orphan of his former colleague, but when he heard the call from Tsukimi Inaba, he felt relieved.

But what Inaba said next in Tsukimi made Uchiha Senmon's face look uncertain.

"Section Chief Akagi is a spy? This is impossible, I don't believe it!"

Tsukimi Inaba didn't say much. After apologizing, he hung up the phone. No matter how Uchiha Senmon called back, there was no response.

A few minutes later, an encrypted document was sent to Uchiha Xianmen's personal mailbox.

When Uchiha opened the immortal gate, his originally hesitant expression gradually turned into shock, confusion and pain, and finally merged into expressionless chaos.

"Inspector Okita, you will be in charge of the work on Mount Fuji for the time being. I have to go back to Tokyo now!"

Chapter 264 Chapter 265 No one can judge me, not even the Emperor!

The inky night sky cannot conceal the dim lights; the night in Tokyo is not quiet but rather noisy.

"Why did you go back to Tokyo?"

In a high-end apartment building near Tokyo Bay in Minato Ward, the obese and pot-bellied Section Chief Akagi warmly welcomed the silent Uchiha Senmon into the house.

Section Chief Akagi was wearing a white bathrobe and fur slippers. He was dressed very casually and did not change into casual clothes. It was obvious that he did not consider the Uchiha Senmen as outsiders.

"Ha, the living room is a mess, but as a divorced, older bachelor, there's nothing I can do about it."

Uchiha Senmon, with a stern face, glanced at the living room. In the middle was an open suitcase with some clothes piled haphazardly inside. A pair of extremely large orange beach pants was hung on the back of the sofa.

"After retirement, you plan to go to Ryukyu to enjoy the beach, sunshine and hot girls. I am preparing in advance. It is not easy to buy swimming trunks at my weight."

Section Chief Akagi laughed a few times, but Uchiha Senmon was uncharacteristically expressionless and said nothing, with a cold aura lingering around him.

"Xianmen, what's the matter? The last time I saw you so murderous was ten years ago when Mikoto..."

Halfway through his words, Section Chief Akagi realized that he had spoken out of turn: "Look at my mouth, what nonsense are you talking about."

"senior."

Uchiha Xianmen said coldly: "This is not a good place to talk, can we change places?"

"Go to the study."

Section Chief Akagi frowned and his expression became serious.

Whether it was the expression on Uchiha's face after he entered the immortal gate or the change in the way he addressed him, both made Section Chief Akagi's heart skip a beat and he felt that something was wrong.

Uchiha Senmon and Akagi Section Chief are alumni of the University of Tokyo. They even belonged to the same club in college. They have known each other for more than ten years, so their relationship is naturally extraordinary. In order to avoid suspicion at work, Uchiha Senmon rarely uses the title of senior.

Moreover, Xianmen, who had been working diligently for ten years, actually left his post and returned to Tokyo from Shizuoka Prefecture overnight to find him privately. It must be a matter of great importance.

"Xianmen, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. The confidentiality of my study is absolutely guaranteed."

Section Chief Akagi sat behind his desk and spoke seriously.

"Senior Akagi, do you have any explanation for this?"

Uchiha Senmon took out a tablet and slid it from the desk in front of Section Chief Akagi.

"What's going on? It's so mysterious..."

Section Chief Akagi smiled, picked up the tablet, took a look at it, and his smile disappeared.

He continued to look down for a while, then raised his head and looked at Uchiha Senmen, his eyes filled with a cruel light that wanted to devour anyone.

"Where did you get this information?"

Uchiha Senmon looked at Section Chief Akagi without showing any weakness, his eyes sharp.

"Don't worry about that. Akagi-senpai, don't you have anything to explain?"

"Oh, these things are already irrefutable evidence. No matter how much I defend myself, it will be a waste of effort, right?" Section Chief Akagi said without caring about anything.

He calmly glanced at the drawer on the lower right side of the desk and slightly retracted his right hand.

"Senior, please put your hands on the table where I can see them."

At this moment, Uchiha Senmon drew out his pistol at lightning speed, with the black muzzle pointing forward.

"Xianmen, you are really watertight."

Section Chief Akagi put down the tablet without changing his expression and spread his hands to show that he posed no threat.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything tricky. You are the best marksman in Investigation Section 4. Even if a fat guy like me has a gun, I can't be your opponent."

"Akagi-senpai, we are not only members of the Todai Kendo Club, but after being transferred to Investigation Section 4, we are also partners you can trust with your lives. You even saved my life."

Uchiha Senmon's movements of aiming the gun with both hands were as standard as in a textbook. There was no tremor at the muzzle, but his eyes flickered.

"I have always respected you as my own brother. But why did you betray the Metropolitan Police Department and sell the information to monsters? Would you be so depraved just for the money?!"

Section Chief Akagi remained indifferent and didn't speak for a long time.

"If there is any unavoidable reason, I will listen to your explanation." Uchiha Senmon's voice sounded very sincere.

"I'm scared."

Section Chief Akagi sighed and was silent for a long time before he uttered a few words.

"Although the work of Investigation Section 4 is to secretly fight against demons and monsters that threaten humanity, it is very heroic. However, the casualty rate of this job is much higher than that of other departments in the Criminal Division. My colleagues have died one by one, which is really scary."

"If that's the case, senior, you can resign! Why do you want to collude with monsters?" Uchiha Senmon asked.

"Although this may seem like I'm making excuses for myself, at this point, there's no need for me to lie."

Section Chief Akagi hesitated for a moment, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and said:

"Just a few days after I wrote my resignation letter, Higuchi Orochi came to my house and threatened my life and my wife's life, using intimidation and inducement to force me to submit, and then..."

Section Chief Akagi looked serious and smiled bitterly: "One wrong step, and then another. We are getting deeper and deeper into trouble and there is no turning back."

"senior……"

Uchiha Senmon's expression was complicated, and the murderous aura on his body unconsciously weakened a little.

"Okay, let's get down to business. What are you going to do with me?"

Section Chief Akagi had a calm expression on his face and picked up the tablet with his right hand.

"Xianmen, if I'm not mistaken, you didn't report this matter to the Metropolitan Police Department, but just came to confront me alone. Right? You are really gentle."

Uchiha Senmon held the gun in silence, which was considered as his agreement.

"In this case, there is still room for maneuver. You have read these documents, Xianmen."

Section Chief Akagi looked relaxed, picked up the tablet and swiped it a few times: "In the past few years of cooperating with monsters, I have never done anything to let you down. Even if I leaked some information to the monsters, most of the people who died were from Public Security Section 5."

"So, should I let you go?" Uchiha Senmon said without a smile on his face.

"Xianmen, this is not only for me, but also for your own sake. In order to find the monster that killed Mikoto as soon as possible, you have to climb higher in the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"

Section Chief Akagi counted on his fingers and carefully analyzed the pros and cons.

"I have revealed to you that the Metropolitan Police Department is going to merge the Fourth Investigation Division and the Fifth Public Security Division. At this critical juncture, if I, the head of the Fourth Investigation Division, reveal that I sold confidential information to monsters, I will definitely be criticized and the Fourth Investigation Division will be swallowed up. I recommended you to be the head of the Fourth Investigation Division, but it will be in vain."

"My retirement due to illness has been approved by the director. I will retire in the second half of the year after the work handover is completed. I have already prepared a way out. After arriving in Ryukyu, I will fake my death and sneak away to other countries."
