Chapter 69 Ended
"What's going on?"
Matsumoto asked Natsume. After being frightened for so many days, he couldn't be dismissed by Natsume with just a few words.
Natsume didn't hide anything and told Matsumoto everything about the resentful spirit.
"Is that so?"
Natsume's words left Matsumoto speechless for a while. He even thought about whether a rival had brought a ghost to harm him, but he never thought that it was just a jealous spirit.
And Natsume also made it clear that if he hadn't sent the resentful spirit to Soul Society, the resentful spirit would have upgraded soon, and it wouldn't have been frightened.
Natsume didn't mention anything. It's not whether Matsumoto believed it or not. It's better for people in this world to know less about things in that world.
"Have a rest, Natsume."
Matsumoto looked at Natsume, the gratitude in his eyes could not be concealed. Although there was no way to verify Natsume's words, Matsumoto believed it.
Not only because of Natsume's maturity that is different from that of his peers, but also because of his own personal experience.
Before this, Matsumoto always had an eerie feeling even during the day, but it was just not as severe as at night.
But now, the villa is just an ordinary villa, and Matsumoto has no abnormal feeling at all, and he believes that this is definitely not his own psychological effect.
"As long as we know this well, don't let the Kudo family know."
Natsume accepted Matsumoto's gratitude and reminded him by the way.
"Yes, I understand."
Matsumoto nodded. He didn't know what Natsume was worried about, but ordinary people wouldn't believe that they could see spirits, let alone someone like Kudo Yusaku who believed in science. People.
If they speak out, their views will definitely collide, and we don’t know what will happen then!
"But you have helped me so much, but I don't know how to thank you, Natsume."
Matsumoto looked at Natsume with a headache.
Kudo Yusaku is his friend, so it's understandable to ask him for help, but Natsume is different. Not only is he not his friend, he also has abilities that are different from ordinary people.
Not to mention that Natsume helped him, even if he didn't, after knowing that Natsume could see spirits, Matsumoto also wanted to befriend him.
"Thank you?"
Natsume originally didn't care about Matsumoto's gratitude. It was just convenient for him anyway, but he suddenly thought of Matsumoto's profession, and something seemed very suitable.
"If it's convenient, help me get a tennis ball signed by a professional tennis champion."
Natsume thought that a certain boy's birthday would be in a few days. He likes tennis so much, so he might like it if he gets an autograph for him.
As for why he didn't designate someone...
well, it's because Natsume doesn't even know who the opponent's favorite professional tennis player is!
"Natsume also likes tennis?"
Natsume's request made Matsumoto stunned for a moment, not because the request was too difficult, but because it was too simple. Although he was not a famous tennis player, after all, everyone was in the same circle. A signature couldn't be easier.
Especially the fact that Natsume asked him for an autograph surprised Matsumoto. If Natsume also likes tennis, then might his relationship with him take a further step soon?
Just do what you want... that's what it's all about.
"No, a friend of mine likes it."
Natsume shook his head. Matsumoto was a little disappointed, but he still agreed very simply. It would be an idiot to refuse such a small thing!
Now that the matter was resolved, the Kudo family, Natsume and Tomoei said their goodbyes and left on Sunday.
Kudo Yukiko was careless and didn't notice anything, but the keen Kudo father and son noticed that in just one night, Matsumoto's attitude towards Natsume changed drastically!
Yesterday, I was just polite and perfunctory to Natsume. Today, I not only treat him with the attitude of a peer, but also treat him with enthusiasm that exceeds that of my own family!
If you didn’t know better, you would definitely think that it was Natsume who helped Matsumoto solve the problem, not Kudo Yusaku!
——What did the two of you talk about last night?
Kudo Yusaku looked thoughtful, and Kudo Shinichi was a little more interested in Natsume.
——After
leaving the Matsumoto family, Natsume did not go home, but turned in the direction of Higurashi Shrine.
Tomoe didn't go with him, he just looked at Natsume's back with complicated eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.
These days, Tomoe has become somewhat accustomed to Natsume going to Higurashi Shrine. Of course, Natsume is not going to Higurashi Kagome, but trying to find a way to go to the Heian Era!
Even if he knew that Sesshomaru was very powerful now and would live well under normal circumstances, at least in the Warring States Period, he was still alive when Kagome traveled through time and space.
However, this is not a normal situation. At least in Natsume's memory, Sesshomaru does not have a silver book, a book related to his strength!
Because of that book, Natsume always felt that he and Sesshomaru had an inexplicable connection. Natsume couldn't help but feel cold towards Sesshomaru, and would always unconsciously care about him and worry about him!
Therefore, since returning to modern times, Natsume has always jumped into the bone well with the silver book in her hand, exploring ways to travel through time and space again.
Sometimes Natsume feels that she is being hypocritical. When she was in that world, she wanted to go back to this world, and after returning to this world, she wanted to go to that world again!
Why can't the people I care about all exist in the same world?
The troubled Natsume didn't know that one day in the future, his wish would really come true.
Of course, that's a story for another day.
——Sitting
in the bone well, Natsume put the silver book on his knees and tried to form seals over and over again with both hands. However, half a day passed, and just like every time before, he used all the techniques he had learned. After one pass, apart from the emptiness of the spiritual power in the body, there was not a single wave in the air.
"Failed again."
Natsume sighed. Although he had expected this possibility, he still could not avoid being disappointed. The long-term failure even made his heart become faintly impetuous. There was always an ominous feeling, as if Sesshomaru had already died. Something unexpected has happened or is about to happen.
But apart from being anxious, he had no other option at all.
Rubbing the cover of the silver book, Natsume murmured:
"You have to hold on, Sesshomaru. If I can't find you by the time of peace, I will find you even if you hide back in the demon world!"
I thought! Thinking that Sesshomaru's current situation might be bad, Natsume opened the silver book unconsciously and softly recited one of the spells like a ghost.
Then...
Chapter 70 The line between life and death
"Huh?"
As soon as the spell was spoken, Natsume's heart was moved, because he actually felt a suction force, a familiar suction force!
——Does it turn out that you have to recite a spell in the bone-eating well to allow yourself to transform in time and space?
A sudden realization flashed through Natsume's heart.
Also, the connection between him and Sesshomaru does not come from spiritual power or demonic power, but from magic power, so of course it will not be effective if he keeps experimenting with spiritual power!
Natsume realized that he had done something stupid before.
But there was no time for him to think too much. Along with the suction force, Natsume's figure slowly faded and then disappeared into the bone-eating well.
A few seconds later, Natsume appeared in the well again. The bone-eating well was still the same bone-eating well, but it was no longer the same time and space.
After nimbly jumping out of the well and standing on the grass, Natsume's expression changed, and it wasn't just his expression that changed, but also his mood!
"Damn it!"
The scene in front of him even gave Natsume no time to launch any moves. He could only rush over as fast as he could, and then... his body was penetrated!
"Poof!"
Natsume spat out a mouthful of blood, her body instantly weakened, and her consciousness began to blur.
"Takashi!"
He felt his body being hugged, and at the same time, Natsume heard Sesshomaru's call in his ears, and the panic in his voice made the corners of his mouth curl up - even if he had been bullied so badly before.
At that time, I had never seen Sesshomaru so panicked. This shows that I am still very important in his heart!
Stimulated by the constant flow of blood and pale face of the boy in his arms, Sesshomaru felt that he was going crazy.
Before, even Sesshomaru himself didn't know why he always came to the bone-eating well from time to time. Maybe deep down in his heart, he was looking forward to seeing the man who jumped into the well hundreds of years later. juvenile.
——I'm just worried about my book!
Sesshomaru always said this to himself.
Today was the same as usual. Sesshomaru came to the Bone-Shiking Well again, but his mood was surprisingly good. He had an intuition in his heart that he could fulfill his wish today!
However, Sesshomaru's good mood did not last long. Not long after he arrived here, a centipede demon appeared.
A normal centipede demon is not a threat to Sesshomaru at this time and can kill it instantly. However, the one in front of me does not know whether it has eaten some natural treasure or encountered some adventure. Its shell is extremely hard. , Sesshomaru's Poison Flower Claw or Light Whip can't break through its defense at all, let alone hurt it.
Therefore, after the battle, Sesshomaru was covered in scars, but the centipede demon only had a few scratches on its shell, not the root of it at all.
The serious injury made Sesshomaru's movements slower and slower. Finally, when the centipede demon swiped its tail, Sesshomaru's feet went weak and he couldn't avoid it!
He was about to die on the spot, but Sesshomaru stared at the centipede demon without blinking, the murderous intent in his eyes not diminishing at all.
If you look carefully, you can see that there is indeed no fear in Sesshomaru's eyes, but there is a hint of regret hidden in them.
How could Sesshomaru not feel regretful? His instinct told him that he could see the owner of his book today, but now he was going to die and would never see him again!
How could Sesshomaru be willing to accept this?
At this moment, Sesshomaru, who had always hoped that Natsume would find a way to come to this era, actually hoped that he would never come through!
Especially at this moment, Natsume must not show up! Although Natsume is no ordinary human, he is no match for the centipede demon in front of him!
However, if everything goes as planned, there won't be so many surprises in the world.
Just when the centipede demon's tail was about to hit him, Sesshomaru felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then there was a figure in front of him!
"Pfft!"
The sound of the centipede demon's sharp tail piercing the flesh made Sesshomaru's expression change drastically -
why, why did he appear at this time? Why, why would he stand in front of him and suffer that move for himself?
"Takashi!"
-
When the centipede demon's tail was pulled out, Natsume groaned again. Sesshomaru hugged Natsume's body, and even his hands were trembling slightly.
Sesshomaru could remain calm when he was injured, but that didn't mean that he could remain indifferent when he saw Natsume being injured with his own eyes!
"Why are you so troublesome!"
Sesshomaru's voice was vicious, as if he wanted to bite Natsume to death:
"You just stay in your era, why do you have to come back? Just come back, and put yourself in danger. Collided? Are you impatient with life?"
Sesshomaru's tone was very ferocious, but his hands around Natsume were very careful, as if he was afraid that he would get hurt more.
However, Natsume's injuries were too serious at this time. No matter how careful Sesshomaru's movements were, he could not stop the blood that kept flowing out and could not change his increasingly pale complexion.
"I am the owner of your book, Sesshomaru."
Natsume's voice was very weak, but his expression was very gentle:
"How can I just watch someone hurt you in front of me?"
Natsume's expression was so natural, and there was no trace of it. There was no regret:
"And I'm not dead yet. If I keep you, I'll be safe, right?"
One person and one demon said several words in succession. Logically speaking, they should have been killed by the centipede demon long ago. He was dead, but the centipede demon didn't know what he was thinking, and he actually stayed aside and didn't continue to attack!
It wasn't until Natsume said those words that the centipede demon suddenly stood up and stared at the two little ants condescendingly: "You are so injured and you are so shameless. Originally, I was thinking about whether you, a human being, could bring me peace of mind.
" Come have a little more fun, but it seems that the truth will disappoint me."
As he said that, the Centipede Demon's patience ran out, he opened his mouth and suddenly swooped down from mid-air.
——The
fishy wind was approaching quickly, but Natsume was reluctant to give it even a look. He looked at Sesshomaru with his eyes, and quickly opened the silver book with both hands: "Lightwhip!" Along with a burst of dazzling golden light, Sesshomaru suddenly felt a sensation in his body.
The demonic power boiled up instantly, one hand supported Natsume, and the other hand moved uncontrollably.
Five yellow-green light whips started from Sesshomaru's fingertips and instantly stretched out, hitting the centipede demon's body hard.
"Hahaha..."
The centipede demon's attack suddenly stopped. Not only did it hang its body half in the air, it even made no attempt to dodge the light whip: "Even if the number increases, waste is waste. The same moves will do to me...ah... No..."
