Chapter 67 Becoming a Buddha
Being stared at by Natsume expressionlessly, the resentful spirit trembled a few more times, suddenly feeling that this human seemed to be as dangerous as the demon fox.
At this time, the resentful spirit suddenly regretted his impulsiveness and was probably going to die.
"Since you are still young, I'm afraid you don't know the consequences of what you did. I'll just pretend I didn't see anything, otherwise I will definitely punish you severely." After a long time, Natsume finally spoke
.
Although Natsume is usually very cold, he is still a monk after all, and he attaches great importance to things like cause and effect.
When encountering monsters and the like, Natsume will usually get rid of them easily as long as they won't harm him. This is something that can increase merit.
Natsume could see that although the resentful spirit in front of him stayed in the world because of some obsession with you and hurt humans, after all, the original intention was just a prank and had no real intention to hurt people, so it can be forgiven.
However, Natsume's words made the resentful spirit confused:
"When did I hurt a human being?"
The resentful spirit even felt a little aggrieved:
"I just scared him. At most, he would have some nightmares, and he would be fine if he rested more!"
" Don't forget that you are no longer human."
Natsume glanced at the resentful spirit, and the coldness in his eyes made the resentful spirit freeze, and he did not dare to say anything.
"Even if you didn't take the initiative to hurt Matsumoto, you are always in contact with him at night, so his body has been contaminated with a lot of yin energy, making his body much weaker. If this continues, let alone continue to play tennis , he will have to spend the rest of his life in bed."
Natsume said calmly, but the resentful spirit trembled again. It was indeed because of his obsession with tennis that he did not reincarnate, but he did not intend to hurt anyone. I mean, he is just jealous and unwilling!
"Now...is it still too late?"
Wraith asked tremblingly.
Hearing the regret in the voice of the resentful spirit, Natsume nodded secretly. Fortunately, it was not hopeless.
"Now that you stop harassing Matsumoto, he will slowly recover."
Natsume did not continue to scare the resentful spirit and said truthfully.
Seeing the resentful spirit quietly breathing a sigh of relief, Natsume's lips curled up, and he suddenly said to the resentful spirit:
"Do you still want to stay in this world?"
This was the first time that the resentful spirit heard the word "present world", but Even if it was the first time, I could guess what this word meant, and the expression on his face immediately turned bitter: "I also want to be reincarnated, but even though my obsession has become lighter now, I can't find it. The way to that world."
Yes, now the resentful spirit is very willing to become a Buddha, but it is a pity that he, a resentful spirit, cannot do it at all.
"Let me help you."
Natsume said very directly.
"Huh?"
I didn't expect such a good thing to happen. I originally thought that I would be in trouble today, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big turn!
But the sluggishness was only for a moment. After his brain truly reflected what the boy in front of him said, the resentful spirit immediately nodded, nodding with such force that if it had been a human, his head would have fallen off: "Yes, I do!"
As if afraid that Natsume wouldn't believe it, the voice of the resentful spirit became louder and louder:
"I can pay whatever price you want!"
The resentful spirit said, ignoring the threat of the fox fire in Ba Wei's hand, and actually floated towards Natsume. .
"In that world, you can still continue to play tennis."
This was the last word the resentful spirit heard in this world. Along with Natsume's spell and handprints, the resentful spirit's figure became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared.
Although Natsume is not a god of death, he still has the ability to send souls to Soul Society. In the end, the resentful spirit gave Natsume a grateful and bright smile.
"Click", the tennis racket that lost its host fell back, split instantly, and could no longer be used.
The warehouse was quiet again. Except for the broken racket, there was nothing to prove that a pair of master and servant had appeared here.
——Natsume
and Tomoe quietly returned to their room. From the beginning to the end, no one noticed that the master and servant had appeared.
Not long after returning to the room, a servant came over to invite Natsume and Tomoe to have dinner. After dinner, the main meal came.
Because the place where Matsumoto spent the longest time was the bedroom, so when the time came, the group of people all went to Matsumoto's bedroom, waiting for the vibrations and strange noises to appear.
Natsume and Tomoe looked at each other.
——Now that you have transformed the resentful spirits into Buddhas, do you think anything unusual will happen tonight?
——Yes, don’t forget that the resentful spirit said that the vibrations and strange noises in this villa were not solely due to him.
——Do you know the reason?
——Probably guessed it.
——Why don't you say it?
——I want to see Kudo Yusaku’s reasoning ability.
——What if he can’t reason it out?
——Let Matsumoto change his house. You can’t rely on me for everything, right?
The corner of Ba Wei's mouth twitched slightly, and he took the lead to look away. He suddenly felt that compared to the monster himself, his master's personality seemed to be cooler and more lively.
Why haven't I discovered that he has these "advantages" before?
No one noticed the exchange between Natsume and Tomoe, not because they hid it too well, but because everyone's attention had long been attracted by other things.
"Bang, bang, bang", "hee hee hee"... When
the time came, the room immediately began to vibrate, and all kinds of strange noises filled the ears. Not to mention that he had been frightened to the point of mental breakdown, even if he was brave enough Kudo Yukiko's face was also a little pale.
"Dear..."
Kudo Yukiko held her husband's arm tightly, her feet became weak, and she no longer had the courage to catch ghosts.
"Ghost... there really is a ghost!"
Kudo Yukiko's voice was trembling. Natsume was very suspicious. If Kudo Yusaku wasn't here at this time, Kudo Yukiko would have run out long ago.
——Kudo
Yukiko knows that there are two criteria for judging whether there is a ghost in a house, namely vibrations and strange noises. Now that both are available, is there really a ghost in the house?
Despite Kudo Yukiko's usual silly and bold demeanor, when something really happened, she was not as calm as her son Kudo Shinichi.
"Calm down, Mom!"
Kudo Shinichi shouted at his home:
"There are no ghosts or monsters in this world. There must be a reason for these phenomena!"
Natsume glanced at Tomoe calmly -
this Are there no monster stocks in the world? But do you know, boy, there is one beside you now, and it is still a very powerful one!
Chapter 68: Who do you believe?
Kudo and his son did not believe there were monsters in the world at all. After comforting Kudo Yukiko, the two men, one large and one small, began to check every corner of the house, trying to find any flaws.
As for Natsume...
At this time, he had already walked in front of Matsumoto.
"Do you think it's a ghost?"
After listening to Natsume's words, Matsumoto's already pale face turned even paler: "Are there
any other reasons besides ghosts?"
Although Kudo Yusaku was asked to help, but in In Matsumoto's heart, he already felt that it was indeed a ghost, otherwise he wouldn't have been so frightened.
Only those who have experienced it personally know how terrifying it is to hear those sounds every night. Matsumoto's psychological quality is considered to be good if he does not collapse.
Looking at the Kudo family a little away from here, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Natsume's face: "
There are indeed spirits in this villa. I saw it."
"What?!"
Matsumoto immediately screamed. , after seeing Natsume's unhappy expression, he realized that he had overreacted, but it was already too late, his voice had already attracted the attention of the Kudo family.
"What's wrong, Matsumoto?"
Kudo Yusaku immediately asked with concern,
"What happened?"
Now any unusual thing might be a clue, and Kudo Yusaku naturally didn't want to let it go.
"No...it's okay..."
I don't know if it was because of Natsume's expression just now, but Matsumoto instinctively didn't want to tell Kudo Yusaku what Natsume said.
It's not that he doesn't trust Kudo Yusaku, but Matsumoto knows that even if he says it, he won't believe it.
"Really?"
Kudo Yusaku raised his eyebrows and glanced at Natsume calmly. Although he didn't hear the conversation between the two just now, Kudo Yusaku saw it from the corner of his eye and Matsumoto heard it. Natsume became so rude after what she said.
"Ah."
Matsumoto nodded, his eyes drifting unconsciously. He was still very stressed about deceiving Kudo Yusaku. After all, this man was too smart.
"Okay."
Kudo Yusaku seemed to believe Matsumoto's words. He nodded and began to check everywhere. However, Natsume keenly discovered that his attention was no longer completely focused on the house, but on part of it. Put it on your side.
The corners of Natsume's mouth curled up. If he didn't want Kudo Yusaku to hear, then he would never hear the conversation between himself and Matsumoto!
However, Natsume did not continue talking to Matsumoto. Seeing Matsumoto's hesitation, Natsume pretended that he had not seen anything.
In fact, not only Matsumoto, but Kudo Yusaku's heart was also itching. He really wanted to know what this boy said to Matsumoto to make him lose his temper like this. Unfortunately, he seemed to be aware of his observation, so he didn't say anything. .
Natsume...?
Kudo Yusaku's eyes flashed, this boy is not simple!
——It
must be said that Kudo Yusaku still has two skills. Although Kudo Shinichi is still young, his observation skills are beginning to show signs.
Neither father nor son found anything unusual in the entire villa, but when they discovered a factory in the distance, they thought of another possibility.
He asked Matsumoto to bring out the design drawings of the villa, and Yusaku Kudo obtained the design drawings of the factory through his own channels.
After some calculations, Kudo and his son came up with a conjecture - the
reason why the villa vibrates and makes strange noises at night is related to the factory in the distance, and the specific principle is resonance.
Everyone present knows about resonance. Even if the knowledge is too advanced and may not be understood, the simple principles have been learned.
Including elementary school student Natsume-chan and junior high school student Shinichi-chan.
Kudo Yusaku's speculation may seem unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.
In order to find out the facts, several people went to the factory that night.
The factory had just been built not long ago, and for some reason, construction was only done at night, and the machines didn't run at all during the day.
After asking the person in charge of the factory, everyone suddenly discovered that the time when the abnormality occurred in Matsumoto Villa was exactly the same as the time of factory construction!
In this way, Kudo Yusaku's speculation becomes more reasonable.
Finally, Kudo Yusaku also told Matsumoto how to solve this problem. Matsumoto nodded vaguely and seemed to accept it gratefully. However, the keen Kudo Yusaku could see that Matsumoto was not relieved because the problem was solved. There are other things!
Intuitively, Kudo Yusaku felt that it was related to Natsume.
Sure enough, after they returned to the villa in the middle of the night, Kudo Yusaku discovered that Matsumoto had gone to Natsume's room!
——Should we go over and eavesdrop? This is a difficult question!
Kudo Yusaku's eyes flickered, and there was a war between heaven and man in his heart.
Here Kudo Yusaku is still hesitating, but over there Matsumoto has already entered Natsume's room.
"Natsume..."
Matsumoto looked at Natsume, hesitant to speak and didn't know how to speak.
"Do you want to ask me about spirits?"
Natsume didn't have as many scruples as Matsumoto and went straight to the topic.
"Yes."
Matsumoto nodded, his face a little ugly:
"Kudo has proved that the abnormality in this villa is caused by resonance."
Natsume raised his eyebrows:
"Since you believe him, why did you come here? Me?"
"I don't think it's that simple."
Matsumoto looked at the boy in front of him, completely unable to treat him as an ordinary child:
"There are some things I didn't tell you. In fact, it's not just the vibrations and strange noises. I feel it..."
Matsumoto took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself, and said the rest of the words in one breath:
"I also felt someone blowing on my neck!"
- So that's it.
Matsumoto's words made Natsume's eyes flash with a flash of understanding, and he knew the reason why Matsumoto's body was so dark.
When she understood, Natsume was a little dumbfounded. At first, she was too arrogant, thinking that the resentful spirit could not deceive herself. Little did she know that he did not deceive himself, but he hid part of the truth.
——
"So, compared to Kudo Yusaku, you actually believe my words more."
Natsume concluded.
"Yes."
Matsumoto nodded and loosened his tie a little irritably:
"Kudo's reasoning does make sense, but I think it's definitely not that simple! No matter how much resonance there is, it won't make me feel like someone is in my presence. Blow into your ears!”
"There is indeed a spirit in your villa, a resentful spirit. Because it can't continue playing tennis, it is jealous of you, so it plays pranks on you at night." Natsume said the truth directly, and then added when Matsumoto's expression changed. One sentence:
"Now I have saved him, so you don't have to worry."
