Becoming a god in a low-key way in the supernatural world

An hour later, in the kitchen, Qingkong, who was making coffee, asked softly, "Are you going to school today?"

Kotegawa shook his head: "I have to go to Kyoto today."

Qingkong cast a questioning look at him.

Kotegawa pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, when I went back to my hometown a couple of days ago..."

Qingkong put down the coffee pot and listened attentively.

"I found Yosuke together with Uncle Kenji and Aunt Akiba."

Qingkong's eyes widened: "It's... a body?"

Kotegawa said softly, "No, Yosuke has become a monster."

"A monster?" Qingkong nearly dropped the coffee pot she was holding, utterly bewildered. "Eh? It's turned into a monster?!"

“Yes…” Kotegawa scratched his head: “I don’t know exactly what happened back then, but Yosuke did become a monster… It was Aunt Akiba who found him personally.”

Qingkong was stunned again, and after a long while she said, "Although it may not be the right thing to say... it's really great. Even though I've become a monster, at least I can still see my family."

Kotegawa was also taken aback, and blurted out, "I'll go to the Ghost Kingdom later and see if I can find the spirits of Qingkong's parents."

Qingkong, lost in thought, suddenly brightened up, but quickly dimmed again. She shook her head and said, "Many years have passed."

"It's all up to human effort..." Kotegawa held her hand, passing on his warmth to her.

Qingkong didn't want to talk much, so she silently walked over and leaned against him, staying there for a long time.

Kotegawa then gently explained why he was going to Kyoto.

“Although Yosuke has become a monster, he has a lot of troubles. If these aren’t resolved, Uncle Kenji and Aunt Akiba won’t be able to get close to him. So we have to go to Kyoto.”

"Does Kyoto have a solution?"

"Who knows? Although there's no direct solution right now, it's still useful indirectly."

"Well?"

"It's related to a pact with the gods."

"My Lord God? You must be careful then."

"Ah."

"A few days ago, I saw a news report on TV about a girl who secretly popped a balloon and got pregnant with her boyfriend's child, thus keeping him by her side forever."

"Ah."

"So I think..."

"……Um?"

"I wonder if we'll need this method in the future... right, Xiaojian?"

"Um……"

At eight o'clock in the morning, Kotegawa drove a few girls to school and then headed straight for the station.

Takanashi Hanamai, who had come by car with him, muttered, "The exams are coming up soon, and he's like this..."

"Well, anyway, Fujiwara-sensei spoils him." Kurumi shook her head, not knowing what to say about Kotegawa's constant absence from school.

Several girls and Shirakawa Nozomi turned and entered the school gate.

After arriving at the station, Kotegawa bought a ticket for the next Shinkansen train, sat in the waiting room for a while, boarded the train, and headed towards Kyoto.

Although flying is still an option, unless you have a special status, taking the Shinkansen is actually a faster way to get to Kyoto. Each section of the line is maintained by special personnel, making it very safe.

At 11 a.m., he stood for a while at the entrance of Kyoto Station, randomly chose a direction, and walked down the ancient street, accepting the scrutinizing gazes of the young women around him.

Gu Gu didn't pay much attention. He first found an open restaurant, had lunch, then checked the location of the local Special Division on his phone and headed straight there.

Although they came to find Jingwu.

We still have no idea who Ke Jingwu is or where he is now.

At that time, Kitami Takematsu only said that Jōmu was the messenger of the god who was his mortal enemy.

It's probably because of this, and the gods were bound by some rules, and Jingwu was certain that no one under Beiyu Jianzun could kill him, so he dared to do something indecent to the statue.

However, times have changed.

If Jingwu were to see him, he would surely be overjoyed, wouldn't he?

As he thought this, he stared straight ahead, his figure suddenly twisted, and he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Some people paused for a moment, shook their heads, and walked away indifferently.

Kotegawa activated the Nightmare, making everyone forget that he had ever been there.

Of course, if it weren't for the excessive and annoying stares from the surroundings, he wouldn't want to go through all that trouble.

After walking to the gate of the local Special Branch headquarters, he did not go in immediately, but looked up and looked around first.

There are two Special Division headquarters: one is the Tokyo headquarters, which can manage the whole country but not Kyoto, and the other is the Kyoto headquarters, which only manages Kyoto and doesn't care about other places.

The Kyoto headquarters is home to a large number of highly skilled individuals, including top-tier Onmyoji and Jonin. Its overall strength is greater than that of Tokyo, but it is slightly weaker in terms of firearms.

The special specialists here have more faith in shikigami and onmyoji magic.

"Kyoto's Special Division..." Kotegawa gradually became surprised: "They even worship gods? Is it just like Kyoto, or is it just like Kyoto..."

This ancient city has such a rich history!

"If that's the case, wouldn't sneaking in myself attract the attention of the gods? What if something unexpected happens?" He pondered.

He definitely couldn't force his way in, nor could he reveal his identity and ask for help. He didn't want to alert Jingwu and have him run away or hide in the shrine and never come out again.

"Should we go back to find the little fox? Although that guy is very mercenary and ruthless, his divination skills are quite strong. In terms of the difficulty of success, it's much easier than forcing his way into the Special Division headquarters... Wait a minute!"

While still driving Nightmare, he suddenly saw a familiar-looking guy get out of the car next to him.

This guy was wearing a black Onmyoji hunting robe, with a gloomy face and his fat cheeks jiggling up and down. He looked at everyone as if they owed him two or five million. It was none other than Yagyu Kiri, whom he had met a few days ago when he went to the Yagyu family to vent his anger for the little priest.

As if he were used to being arrogant in Kyoto, Yagyu Kiri walked straight into the Special Division headquarters without anyone stopping him.

Kotegawa looked at it for a while, then suddenly grinned, opened the car door, and got into the car.

The driver, who remained in the car waiting, glanced back suspiciously. Had the car door just opened slightly? But it also seemed like a hallucination…

Half an hour later, the fat man, Yagyu Kiri, finally emerged from the Special Division headquarters. His previously gloomy expression had lessened considerably, and he seemed to have resolved some troubles.

The driver quickly got out of the car and opened the door for him.

Yagyu Kiri sat directly in the back seat and closed his eyes.

The car started smoothly, and after driving away for a while, a soft sound reached Yagyu Kiri's ears.

"Answer me, what did you do at headquarters just now?"

Before Yagyu Kiri could react, she became completely dazed, enveloped by a nightmare, and murmured, "Ichiro got into some trouble at school and was locked up in the Special Department."

"Oh? What did he do?"

"He wanted to have sex with a female student, but got beaten up."

Kotegawa handed him an ice blade and said, "I suggest you go back to the Special Division later and cut off his thing."

Yagyu Kiri gripped the ice blade tightly in her hand, the wide sleeves of her hunting robe hanging down, completely concealing her hand holding the ice blade.

Kotegawa then asked, "Do you know Jingwu?"

“Jingwu…” Yagyu Kiri, with vacant eyes, remained blank for a long time before finally saying, “I don’t know.”

Chapter 125 A Search That Never Returns

Yagyu Kirito's question left Kotegawa speechless.

His eyes widened in surprise.

Under the control of Nightmare, Yagyu Kirito couldn't lie, so Yagyu Kirito truly didn't know about Jingwu.

That's getting interesting.

First of all, Jingwu is definitely not a dead person, otherwise Kitami Kenzun would not have assigned him such a job.

Secondly, Jingwu, as a messenger of the gods, is certainly not an ordinary person. The Yagyu family is a powerful family in Kyoto. Although they do not have any particularly top-notch experts, they have quite a few Onmyoji and have a solid foundation. Logically speaking, even if they are not familiar with Jingwu, they should at least have heard of him.

But Yagyu Kiri was completely unaware of this... either Jingwu had a different identity, or Yagyu Kiri actually had no status in the Yagyu family and had no access to the circle of divine messengers.

Regardless of the situation, the bottom line is that you just need to go to the Yagyu family in person.

Even if Yagyu Kiri didn't know, surely the two so-called ancestral spirits of the Yagyu family couldn't possibly not know?

He refused to believe that no one in the Yagyu family knew who Jingwu was.

A minute later, he got out of the car and watched it turn and head back towards the Special Division. Then he hailed a taxi and went to the Yagyu family home.

The Yagyu family home was bustling with activity, as trucks loaded with timber kept coming and going.

When Kotegawa arrived at the door, he looked around for a while and then realized what was going on.

Are you renovating the house? That makes sense; it was so badly damaged last time that it's definitely uninhabitable now.

The door to the Yagyu family's house was wide open, so he walked straight in, followed the scent of the ancestral spirit, found a side hall, pushed open the door, and went inside.

Two ancient portraits hang in the center of the room, both depicting warriors wearing rattan armor and holding swords.

Kotegawa raised his hand, tapped the offering table, and said, "Old friends have come to visit, isn't it impolite to keep hiding?"

The two ancient portraits remained unmoved, like lifeless objects.

Kotekawa paused, then rubbed his fingers together, creating a wisp of golden flame.

It is only the size of a candle flame, but it emits an amazing temperature.

The two ancient paintings suddenly began to move without wind, shaking violently. The figures within them seemed to come alive, speaking with a bitter tone: "What brings you here?"

"Your Yagyu family really has no manners." Kotekawa sighed, pulled up a chair leaning against the wall, sat down, and the Nightmare Domain silently spread out once again.

The two ancestral spirits, who had lived for countless years, could not resist and soon became numb.

After doing all this, Kotegawa finally asked, "Do you know Jingwu?"
