Chapter 59: Robbery on the road
After all, as long as the name is much worse than the real contract binding force, normal people will not abandon the latter and choose the former.
However, he was surprised, and the old man was happy to see this result. After all, it gave him a much higher degree of freedom.
As if he was afraid that Natsume would regret it, the old man Jiu immediately took out a piece of paper and a pen from nowhere, wrote his name on it, and handed it directly to Natsume.
It is rare among demons to be so eager to give away their names.
But Natsume's attention was on other aspects at this time. He looked at the paper held in front of him by the old man Jiu, and didn't speak for a long time - why did
he feel that this scene was familiar? Does this paper look familiar? If there was too much paper, wouldn’t I also have a “book of friends”?
It’s not Natsume Reiko’s Book of Friends, but the Book of Friends that truly belongs to Natsume Takashi!
Seeing that Natsume didn't take the note, the old man panicked. What he was most afraid of now was that Natsume would regret it, so he immediately shouted urgently: "Hurry up and take it...
"
He wanted to call out Natsume's name. Only then did the old man realize that he still didn't know the name of the boy in front of him:
"What's your name?"
The monster's name has power. When he willingly gives his name to someone or a monster, When the time comes, he must obey the other party's orders.
Of course, self-introduction and the like do not count.
Human names, on the other hand, are not so particular.
"Natsume Takashi."
Being brought back to reality by the old man Shu's voice, Natsume said his name lightly, and then without waiting for the old man Jiu to urge him again, he reached out and tied the note with the old man's name written on it: "Mountain?
Natsume
looked down at the old man Jiu speechlessly, the name "Shan Yue" really didn't suit him!
Seeing the meaning of Natsume's expression, a look of embarrassment flashed across the face of the old man Shanyue, but he didn't come up with the name himself, so he could only recognize it.
The most important thing is that now is not the time to worry about the name at all. What matters is Yao Jing, Yao Jing!
"Natsume, hurry up, hurry up, help me get the demon crystal back!" At
this time, Shanyue spoke in a more confident tone. After all, he paid the price, and now it is time to get the reward.
"Okay."
Natsume didn't even change his clothes and said directly to Shanyue:
"Guide the way."
Natsume decided to make a quick decision and wanted to come back before class. After all, in his opinion, one or two ultimate monsters are really not enough. Worth mentioning.
The fact was just as Natsume expected. Following the guidance of the mountain, they quickly found the snake demon. He had just defeated the demon that came to snatch the demon crystal, but before he could absorb the demon crystal, Natsume wiped it out. Kill it on the ground and grab the demon crystal back.
Shan Yue's eyes were as bright as a demon crystal, and he suddenly felt that it would be good to have a powerful human friend like Natsume.
Yes, Shanyue convinced himself that he gave his name to his friend, not his master!
So, before Natsume had time to refute, he had his first yokai friend, a yokai friend who gave his name to him.
As for Tomoe and Sesshomaru, they are completely out of the relationship between friends and are completely different from Shan Yue.
——Because
school had just started, Natsume went to the club to report. After knocking down all the main candidates in the club, he went home feeling refreshed and carrying his tennis bag.
When passing by a bank, Natsume saw a familiar figure walking out of the bank, and the man was talking to himself as he walked: "Haha, this invention has finally been sold, two million is enough for me. I've been using it
for a long time."
What left Natsume speechless the most was that the man was shaking the paper bag in his hand proudly while talking. The name of the bank was clearly written on the paper bag. Any idiot knew that what was inside was cash, and from there The thickness looks like the two million he said!
——How on earth did this guy live to such an old age without incident? He is obviously an inventor and should be very smart. How could he do such a stupid thing?
Natsume was thinking about whether to step forward and give a warning. After all, there would definitely be intersections in the future. It seemed a bit bad to pretend that we couldn't see it.
However, before Natsume took action here, someone was already stimulated by money and started to act.
"Whoa!"
A young man wearing a baseball cap walked past the man, suddenly reached out and grabbed the paper bag containing the money, accelerated his feet, and ran away quickly.
The person who had the paper bag taken away was stunned. It took him a few seconds to realize what had happened. His face changed drastically and he shouted: "Robbery
, robbery!"
While shouting, he ran to chase the robber, but unfortunately he was so fat. He couldn't run at all, and he saw the distance between him and the nimble robber getting further and further away.
"Who can help me? Help me stop the robber!" The
poor man was so anxious that he was sweating, but he also knew in his heart that it would be too difficult for someone to help, because he had already seen the robber's I have a knife in my hand!
Indeed, there were many pedestrians on the roadside, but everyone's eyes were sharp. Some people did want to help stop the robber, but after seeing him running and flashing a sharp knife, everyone immediately retracted their feet. No more trying to be a hero.
Not everyone has the courage to face a sharp blade, especially if it has nothing to do with themselves.
——Are my two million dollars about to be wasted?
The fat man thought desperately, his pace getting slower and slower, not because he wanted to give up, but because he couldn't run anymore.
At this time, the fat man suddenly felt a sharp wind blowing past his ears, and then saw the robber who had run away was hit hard by a flying yellow ball on the back of his head. He groaned and fell down with a "pop" land.
He didn't bother to think about where the yellow ball came from. Seeing the robber lying on the ground, the fat man suddenly seemed to have a little more strength. He quickened his pace and ran to the robber's side, taking his money from his hand. Got it back.
——
"Damn it!"
The robber's head was dizzy. It wasn't until the fat man took the money back that his eyes gradually became clearer. When he recalled what happened, he immediately cursed and didn't bother to go to the fat man to get the money. The money was snatched back again, but he stood up unsteadily and stared straight in the direction behind him: "
Who, who just plotted against me, stand up and I will kill you!"
While shouting, the robber kept shouting He waved the knife on the ground, making the fat man on the side feel regretful -
why did he only care about his own money and forget to take the robber's knife?
Unfortunately, it's too late now. The robber has already stood up. Although he is still covering the back of his head with one hand, his fierce expression makes it clear at a glance that he is very difficult to mess with!
Chapter 60 Reversal
"It's me."
Just when everyone was looking for the hero who stopped the robbers, what they didn't expect was that a cold voice appeared, and it turned out to be a boy who looked about ten years old!
From the racket that had not been put away in the boy's hand, passers-by could also know what it was that had just hit the robber's head and prevented him from escaping.
A tiny tennis ball.
After suddenly realizing it, many people had a look of shame on their faces - there were
so many adults around, and the one who stood out in the end turned out to be a teenager who was not yet an adult! None of my children have the courage!
Under this feeling of shame, several people suddenly overcame their fear of knives, stood up bravely, and walked towards the young man one by one, facing the robber together.
What differed from everyone else's reaction was the fat man who had been lost and found.
"Are you... Natsume?"
The fat man looked at Natsume blankly. He didn't expect that the person who helped him was actually an acquaintance, someone he had met but had no friendship with.
"Hello, Dr. Agasa."
Yes, Natsume finally decided to help the fat man, Dr. Agasa.
Speaking of which, the reason why Natsume met Dr. Agasa was because the house that Ryugen Ishida gave him was right next door to Dr. Agasa’s house!
In other words, not only is Dr. Agasa a neighbor of Natsume, but so is a certain future elementary school student. There is only Dr. Agasa's house between Kudo's house and Natsume's house.
Originally, Natsume didn't care who his neighbors were. At that time, all he was thinking about was how to train. If he strengthened his strength, he wouldn't bother to manage interpersonal relationships at all.
But later, after Tomoe arrived, this demon fox, who was more mellow than indifferent, took Natsume to visit the neighbors one day with the biscuits he made, and that's how he got to know Dr. Agasa.
After that, we only met a few times when we went in and out, just nodded and said hello, and there really wasn't much friendship.
No friendship, no friendship, after all, he can be regarded as his neighbor, so after Natsume saw him being robbed, he thought about it and helped him. Anyway, he was just dealing with a robber, and he only held a knife. It's not a gun. Even if you take him down, you won't be able to reveal your true strength.
Hearing Natsume respond to him, Dr. Ali was sure that he had indeed recognized the wrong person, and his heart immediately lifted: "Don't come over, Natsume, the robber has a knife in his hand!" Dr. Ali said to all the people who opened their eyes
.
Everyone could see the fact, and when he saw that Natsume had no intention of stopping and continued walking towards the robbers and himself, Dr. Ari almost went crazy: "It is the police's job to catch the robbers
. You are still a child, don't be impulsive, Natsume! I would rather not have these two million than take the risk for you!" With that said, as if to
confirm what he said, Dr. Ali threw the paper bag he had just brought back at Zed without hesitation. The bandit, but his eyes were still looking at Natsume, and the worry in his eyes was about to materialize: "Someone must have called the police, don't be impulsive!"
The reason why Dr. Ali shouted that was because he saw that Natsume was not acting because of Stopped by his own actions.
——How come there are such stubborn children?
At this moment, Dr. Ali suddenly thought of another young man living on the other side of his house. He was just as stubborn and had the same sense of justice!
Thinking of this, Dr. Agasa was nervous, and his favorable impression of Natsume started to rise.
Well, Dr. Agasa completely misunderstood Natsume. If the person who was robbed today was not Dr. Agasa, who is a neighbor, but a stranger, Natsume would probably just walk over as if he didn't see it.
After all, Natsume, who was a monk in his previous life, had a very indifferent character, and those who pursue the way of heaven naturally care less about mortals.
Secondly, and most importantly, Natsume felt that Dr. Ari was entirely to blame!
Showing off two million in front of the public like that, in Natsume's opinion, is like summoning people with evil intentions, summoning them to steal his money!
——The
people around him were also frightened by Natsume's boldness, and they shouted one by one to stop him from walking towards the robber—— "
I have called the police, young man, just wait for the police to catch him!"
"That man has a knife. , Danger!"
"What you just did is enough, don't take any more risks!" "
..."
Natsume finally stopped, but no one around him calmed down. Instead, they all had wry smiles on their faces. I don't know what to say.
Because at this moment, Natsume was only about half a meter away from the robber. As long as the robber took a step forward, he could stab Natsume with the knife in his hand.
"Hahaha..."
Compared with the various reactions of passers-by, the robber was extremely satisfied with Natsume's knowledge. He glared at Natsume with a ferocious smile, and threw Dr. Agasa to him in the hand that was originally covering his head. paper bag, holding a knife in the other hand and pointing it at Natsume:
"Because you kid's troubles have delayed me for so long. The police should be here soon, but I have to give you a knife before leaving. As for whether you can Your survival depends on your life!"
"Noisy."
Faced with the threat from the robbers, Natsume didn't even move his brows, still looking so calm:
"Don't you think about why I gave up the long-range attack ability? Do you choose to get close to you because of tennis? If you had gotten up and ran away before, I wouldn't have bothered to waste time catching you. After all, catching you is the job of the police. But now..." No one saw Natsume's movements clearly;
When
the robber stabbed Natsume in the chest with a knife, Natsume's hand seemed to move. Then, as if the robber was hit by a fast-moving car, his whole body suddenly flew back, and he was literally in the air. After sliding for a meter or two, he landed heavily on the ground.
Listening to the heavy landing, a thought came to everyone's mind at the same time -
how painful this is!
——What
happened?
No one saw clearly what was happening right in front of them!
One moment, everyone was worried about the safety of the brave young man. The next moment, he was still standing there, but the robber holding the murder weapon had fallen to the ground!
Is this the legendary turning point?
"You...what did you do?"
Let alone outsiders, even the robber who was knocked to the ground didn't know how he was beaten inexplicably. It was obvious that he was about to succeed!
The robber raised his head with difficulty and asked Natsume. Now his whole body seemed to be falling apart and he didn't have the strength to get up at all. But if he didn't understand, he wouldn't even be willing to go to jail!
