Chapter 1 Rebirth
"Wuwuwu... I really am an existence that shouldn't exist. Humans don't like me, and those things hate me... Why should I live? It's better to die, then i can see my father, a very, very gentle father..."
On the grass in the woods, a boy whose face could not be seen clearly curled up and fell to the ground, muttering words of despair in his mouth, as if he was completely hopeless. The desperation does not seem to come from the mouth of such a young child.
Beside the boy, a black shadow-like thing three to four meters high moved. Listening to the boy's words, the only eye on the black shadow's head became brighter and brighter, and then it opened its mouth and pointed in the direction of the boy. Sucking in, a white light that was difficult to discern with the naked eye floated out from the boy's body, and was immediately swallowed by the black shadow's big mouth.
"Hiccup..."
The black shadow burped with great satisfaction, and then said to himself proudly:
"As expected of Reiko's grandson. Although he is still young, the spiritual power in his soul is already very powerful. Eat After killing him, I can upgrade from intermediate to advanced!
Ah... no... the power is too great and I can't control it... damn..."
"Bang!"
The black shadow's voice suddenly changed from proud and excited turned into panic and despair, and then with a violent explosion, the black shadow's entire body exploded instantly like an overinflated balloon, turning into nothingness and disappearing into the air.
So there was only the boy left on the grass who was still curled up but had no sound. The breeze blew through his dark golden hair, revealing a face that was obviously very delicate but was now full of sadness and lifelessness.
I don't know how long it took, but the body of the boy on the ground, which had slowly stiffened, suddenly moved, and his breathing, which had stopped for a long time, slowly resumed again.
"Ahem..."
The boy coughed a few times as if his throat was uncomfortable, then his eyelids moved, and his closed eyes opened, revealing a pair of brown eyes!
This pair of eyes is different from the childish look of despair just now. What is revealed in the boy's eyes now is the wisdom accumulated by his erudition, the composure reflected by his maturity, and the burning cauldron after making up his mind. And the relief of seeing your future.
If you only look at the eyes, you will never be able to connect the boy now with the boy just now. They still have the same face, but they seem to be two completely different people!
In fact, the boy now is indeed not the same boy as he was at the beginning!
"How come I'm still alive?"
Blinking his sour eyes, the boy muttered to himself doubtfully,
"Didn't I blow myself up and die with that guy?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the boy realized something was wrong:
"This voice sounds like a child's... it's not mine..."
With a sudden thought, the boy quickly raised his hands in front of his eyes. What caught his eyes was a pair of small hands belonging to a child of about ten years old!
"What...what the hell is going on?"
Although he has always been calm and was called by his friends as "the same color even after the collapse of Mount Tai", the boy's face couldn't help but change, and even his heart became excited. : "Did I not die after self-destruction, but my body shrank? Like some ten-thousand-year-old primary school student?"
Just as he was thinking about the reason for his current state, the boy's head suddenly hurt sharply again, and this time it was accompanied by pain. What came next was a flood of memories, completely unfamiliar memories.
After gritting his teeth and enduring the pain that seemed to burst his head, the boy blinked again, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes: "It turns out that my body has not become smaller, but my soul has entered the body of a child!"
Because he accepted the memory of this body, the boy finally had a correct understanding of his situation and no longer had to make random guesses.
--This body belongs to a ten-year-old boy named Natsume Takashi.
Natsume Takashi lost his parents when he was young, and was considered a burden and lived with relatives. Because he could see monsters, he was not understood by others and was bullied.
The reason why Natsume appeared in the woods today was because he saw the huge monster not long ago at the house of the relatives who adopted him, and he was frightened and broke a vase at home.
It happened that the man of the house was unemployed and in a bad mood, and Natsume's actions only added fuel to his anger. So the man grabbed the things around him and beat Natsume hard while cursing him. Get him out of the house and let him reflect on it.
That monster has the ability to infinitely expand the negative emotions in people's hearts, and it lives by devouring the desperate souls of living beings.
Natsume's mind was originally more sensitive and fragile than that of ordinary children. In addition, after suffering such a great injustice just now, her heart was even more sad and painful. After running into the woods unknowingly, she was led out step by step by the monster. The despair of life in my heart, and then my soul is swallowed up, and I am really dead.
And the monster exploded and died because it could not control the too strong spiritual power in Natsume's soul.
Then, for some unknown reason, the current soul entered Natsume's body and brought him back to life!
Of course, it was only Natsume's body that came back to life. From a soul point of view, it had been completely replaced by another person, an adult!
"It turns out that I turned into Natsume Takashi, the grandson of Natsume Reiko, the Natsume Takashi who has the Book of Friends! I didn't expect that one day I would be reborn as a two-dimensional character!"
Boy, no, from now on I will be Natsume. Natsume's face showed a trace of complicated emotions:
"Although I know that there is more than just the space in which I live, I did not expect that those works created by humans can also form a complete space. And mine arrival unexpectedly caused the death of Natsume Takashi, who could have lived for a long time... I am really guilty!" - Shaking his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, Natsume's expression gradually became firmer:
"Since I have been reborn , In this world, I am reborn as Natsume Takashi, so I should cherish this opportunity, and then as compensation, let Natsume have a happy life!" Having read comics and anime, he knew that the original Natsume was born at the age of fifteen.
Before he met Mr. Neko, he had always been very depressed. Especially after receiving Natsume's memories, he understood even more that Natsume's life was actually not only depressing, but sometimes even painful!
This kind child deserves better, no, the best!
Chapter 2 Distress
Originally, Natsume's soul was eaten, and Natsume's previous memories should no longer exist. However, perhaps because Natsume possesses spiritual power, even though it is just a body, the previous memories still remain.
This is a very lucky thing for Natsume now. At least it makes him know what he should do most now.
What impressed Natsume most about the young boy in his memory, apart from the Book of Friends and the cat teacher, was the fact that he was bounced between various relatives and guardians.
Although Natsume has a very happy-go-lucky personality, she doesn't like living under the influence of others.
Natsume's eyes flashed, and she made a certain decision in her heart.
"This body is really terrible."
After just a few steps, Natsume had to stop, holding on to the tree trunk next to him and panting with a wry smile.
After being beaten up before, coupled with long-term mental stress and malnutrition, this body now actually has obvious and hidden injuries from the inside to the outside. I have just gone from being healthy to being the envy of the most powerful athletes in the world. Natsume was really not used to being reborn in such a bad body in Jealous Body.
If it weren't for the spiritual nourishment in his body and the strong will he had developed over the years, Natsume might have collapsed to the ground long ago.
"After that matter is resolved, I must exercise well."
Natsume didn't like this soft feeling, so she immediately made plans for the future.
However, just as he was about to restore his body to its previous strength as soon as possible, a strange aura made the bitter smile on Natsume's face become even more bitter: "It can't be so unlucky, meeting two people in a row in one day
. Monster, it seems that this kind of thing has never happened to Natsume before, right?"
That said, but after all, Natsume is not the ten-year-old boy before, so he quickly calmed down, activated the little spiritual power in his body, and prepared to fight. A handful.
In fact, as the grandson of Natsume Reiko, the spiritual power of this body is very deep. Coupled with the energy carried by the soul that traveled through time and space, Natsume should be very strong, but it is a pity that due to the limitations of his current weak body, , no matter how strong the power is, it cannot be exerted.
Just like the 1982 Lafite was put in a wine bottle full of cracks, if you want to drink it, you must first repair the bottle, otherwise it will be like a chicken flying with an egg.
Therefore, Natsume now has almost no fighting ability. His body cannot bear the spiritual power that is too strong!
However, even in such a life-and-death crisis, Natsume's face did not show too much fear or nervousness. He had experienced too many dangers, allowing Natsume to remain calm no matter what the situation. A stable state of mind.
"Roar!"
The roar came from far to near, and Natsume could even feel the tremors coming from the ground!
"It's a big guy!"
Natsume squinted at the monster getting closer and closer to him, and then as if he suddenly saw something shocking, his calm expression suddenly became weird: "
Liar Isn't this really that thing?"
Natsume originally thought that the person who came was definitely a monster. After all, judging from the aura of the person who came and the huge momentum it created, there was no way it could be a human being.
However, after seeing clearly the true appearance of the thing that was close to him, Natsume began to doubt his own judgment.
It's not that I doubt that thing is a human, but that it's not a monster at all!
--The snow-white body, the mask on the face, the huge hole in the chest...
The more he looked at it, the more Natsume felt that this thing was far from the monsters he knew, but it was very similar to some kind of creature with memory.
If it were in the past, Natsume would definitely think that his brain was abnormal and he would think that the creature in front of him was some kind of special product of the second dimension. But after thinking about his current identity, he felt that everything was acceptable.
Even traveling to the second dimension can happen, so what else can't happen?
--Accepting
it, Natsume's expression still turned bitter.
If this was really what he thought, it would be better to have a monster. After all, monsters can sometimes use words to persuade, but this This thing...
its instinct is to kill and devour!
"Delicious soul..."
The thing spoke, and the hoarse voice contained nothing but violence and greed. And through this simple half-sentence, Natsume had already confirmed his guess - this thing
It's really not a monster, but a Hollow!
Yes, the specialty of Death, Xu!
"It seems that the world I came to is more complicated than I imagined!"
Natsume said to himself as he dodged to the side and avoided the sharp spikes coming towards him, but he was still dodging. He opened it, but his weak body made him fall to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Roar!"
Natsume's dodge obviously made the Hollow very dissatisfied. After raising his head and roaring again, his ten fingers grew longer and pointed at the same time, and he stabbed Natsume at the same time!
--Is this second life of mine so short? It ended in less than half an hour?
While Natsume was rolling on the ground in embarrassment, he was still thinking of laughing at himself.
Natsume's character is indifferent, but that doesn't mean that he is willing to die in the hands of a hollow, and it is a very humiliating way of death like becoming food!
Since he could choose to self-destruct and die with the enemy in his previous life, it can be seen that Natsume also has a crazy factor deep in his heart, so after realizing that he may not be able to escape this time, he rolled around and gathered all the spiritual energy in his body. On the limbs, prepare to give this virtual a sharp blow.
It doesn't matter even if the cost is that the body is torn apart!
--Just
when Natsume had made the decision to die with the enemy again, a ray of light suddenly flashed and then penetrated hard into the hollow mask.
Before he even had time to utter his final roar, Xu turned into particles and disappeared into the air at the same time he was hit by the light.
Seeing that the sharp nails that were only a few centimeters away from her suddenly turned into nothingness, Natsume immediately dispersed the spiritual power from her limbs.
Although the final attack was not delivered, Natsume still felt as if his limbs had been run over by a truck, and the pain was excruciating.
The tearing pain in his body only made Natsume frown slightly, but there was not even a groan in his mouth. He even used his last strength to lean against a big tree, as if that was enough to make an adult immediately It was like the severe pain of fainting didn't exist at all.
