Chapter 81 Infinite tangle
In the end, Higurashi Kagome returned to the classroom in a daze. It wasn't that Natsume couldn't think of words to comfort her, but that Natsume didn't think it was necessary - there were only a few days left before Higurashi Kagome went to the Warring States Period. When she went to the monster-filled place After a while, you will accept the fact that you can see ghosts.
As for the unlucky math teacher, Natsume had already withdrawn those two little spells when he left the classroom, so even though he was badly beaten, he could go home after resting in the hospital for a few days.
Of course, because what he said when he was choked will have an impact on his future career as a teacher...
Natsume said that he would like to see it happen.
Although the girl's spirit failed to kill the math teacher in the end, his miserable appearance was enough to make her vent her anger, so she cooperated honestly with Natsume and was sent to that world by him.
The incident caused by the math teacher quickly spread throughout the school, causing panic and many people posted the incident online.
As a result, the incident began to spread among various schools.
The reason why this incident caused such a big fuss was not only because it happened on campus, but also because the math teacher's reaction was so abnormal.
Anyone with eyes can see that he is like a ghost. It's so weird.
Even Natsume received a call from Kudo Shinichi.
"Natsume, I heard that your school is very lively today!"
Kudo Shinichi's voice sounded like a smile but not a smile.
"Ah, especially our class."
Natsume's voice was as cold as ever. After spending many years together, Kudo Shinichi had long been accustomed to his neighbor's cold personality, so he was no longer surprised.
"What, that teacher is from your class?"
Kudo Shinichi heard the music and knew the meaning. As soon as Natsume said it, he guessed the matter:
"This matter doesn't have anything to do with you, does it?"
Kudo Shinichi said. This speculation is not without purpose. According to the information he received, a certain mathematics teacher in a certain school had a conflict with the students in the class during class, and was stimulated to fall ill.
Because the way he got sick looked like he had encountered a ghost, which was very abnormal, Kudo Shinichi called Natsume to ask what happened, but he didn't expect to get such a shocking piece of information.
Yes, Kudo Shinichi feels that this kind of thing is too similar to what Natsume can do. Even if a student conflicts with a teacher, the unlucky one is still the student, not the teacher, and the teacher will not be so angry that he ends up in the hospital.
"It's your own fault."
Natsume's voice was still calm, but he didn't deny it. For Kudo Shinichi, it was already an admission.
"You are so strong!"
Kudo Shinichi's voice was full of admiration, and he didn't know if it was sincere or not, but he couldn't do it anyway.
"What's going on? I know you won't conflict with the teacher for no reason. Did he really bully the girls?" After all, he didn't know the first-hand news. Kudo Shinichi was afraid that what he heard was not the truth, so I asked further.
Natsume didn't hide anything and told Kudo Shinichi everything she knew.
The reason why Natsume knew so clearly was all due to Tomoe's intelligence network. Tomoe would investigate everyone who had contact with Natsume, including this math teacher.
In fact, even if today's incident hadn't happened, Natsume would have gotten rid of him sooner or later. Knowing the true face of the math teacher, Natsume couldn't stand a scumbag hanging around in front of him every day, and he still used the reputation of being a teacher.
"What a scumbag!"
Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but cursed. After hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask with some hesitation: "
Then what do you think about him seeing ghosts, Natsume?"
"Do you believe it ? Are there ghosts in the world?"
Natsume's voice had a hint of joking, and this time Kudo Shinichi answered without hesitation:
"Of course I don't believe it!"
Kudo Shinichi's tone was very firm:
"There are no ghosts in this world. Spirits, ghosts, things like that!"
"If you don't believe it, why do you ask me?"
Natsume never tried to confirm the existence of ghosts to Kudo Shinichi, after all, it was not a good thing for him.
"I wonder if someone is causing trouble."
——Yes
, this is what Kudo Shinichi is really interested in.
What can make a teacher go crazy in class is either that he is ill or that someone has done something to him. Kudo Shinichi has always been interested in such strange things.
"Ah, someone is causing trouble."
Natsume's voice didn't even rise at all, but Kudo Shinichi's voice suddenly rose in pitch:
"What?"
Kudo Shinichi wished he could come to Natsume through the phone line right now:
"Really Is it man-made? Who did it? Have you found a clue?"
Kudo Shinichi has never doubted Natsume's IQ. His academic performance is better than his own, and his reasoning ability is acceptable.
"No."
Natsume denied, and Kudo Shinichi was confused:
"Then how do you confirm that someone is causing trouble?"
As a detective, Kudo Shinichi believed in evidence rather than speculation.
"Because I did it."
Natsume admitted so simply that he didn't even take a nap.
"What?"
Kudo Shinichi's voice became louder, and Natsume's answers shocked him more and more every time: "
You said it was you who made your math teacher go crazy in class?"
Natsume obviously admitted it himself. , but Kudo Shinichi still couldn't accept it.
In Kudo Shinichi's impression, although Natsume has a cold personality, he is very principled and has a sense of justice. How could he do such a thing as frame someone?
No, sense of justice...
Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt something in his heart and thought of Natsume's "motive for committing the crime".
That teacher bullied the girl, but the police found no evidence, so Natsume took action personally, just to teach that scumbag teacher a lesson!
Thinking of some of the things Natsume had done, Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt that this reason actually made sense.
——
"What did you do?"
Kudo Shinichi's voice deepened:
"Do you know that teacher is still in the hospital? You are committing injury!"
Kudo Shinichi felt that he could not accept Natsume's crime. fact.
Unfortunately, no matter how Kudo Shinichi's tone changed, Natsume on the other side of the phone remained as calm as ever: "What happened in the hospital? Won't he be out soon? And speaking of the crime of injury... I don't even have a finger on him. Come on, what does his mental breakdown have to do with me because he can't stand the condemnation of his conscience?"
Natsume's tone was so innocent that Kudo Shin on the other end of the phone was speechless for half the ring.
"You said you were responsible for his mental breakdown."
"Well, that's right."
"Mental injury is also injury."
"You have no evidence, and the police have no evidence."
"You should surrender."
"We'll wait until we find the evidence. Right."
"...What method did you use?"
"Guess."
"..."
Chapter 82 "You take it off or should I?"
"Let's have a good talk after school, Natsume."
In the end, Kudo Shinichi could only say this.
Kudo Shinichi disagreed with Natsume's actions. Although he also felt that the math teacher was a scumbag and must be punished, that had to be done by the police. Natsume was not a police officer and had no right to use lynching.
Fortunately, Kudou Shinichi disagreed, but this time he was not so pedantic as to call the police to arrest Natsume. This was because the math teacher was not actually harmed, and secondly, there was no evidence.
Kudo Shinichi himself didn't know whether he would call the police if he had evidence of Natsume's tactics.
This is not to say that Kudo Shinichi has a bad relationship with Natsume, but that he himself is too principled.
Having known Kudo Shinichi for so many years, how could Natsume not understand his character? Since she knew him and told him the truth, it was because Natsume was confident that Kudo Shinichi would not be able to find anything.
Natsume's method is actually very crude and simple, but unless the seal in Kagome Higurashi's body is completely released one day, it will be useless for others, let alone Kudo Shinichi, even if Kudo Yusaku comes!
There is no way, what is being tested at this time is not the reasoning and observation ability, but spiritual power!
Without spiritual power, everything is in vain.
"Let's do it another day."
Kudo Shinichi's tone was serious, but Natsume was very casual.
"Do you have an appointment today?"
Kudo Shinichi was very anxious. He felt that Natsume's psychology had drifted a bit. He wanted to bring Natsume back to the "right path" before he did something more extreme.
"Yes, we have an appointment."
Natsume admitted it simply. I don't know if it was his own imagination, but Kudo Shinichi always felt that there seemed to be a little more warmth in Natsume's voice.
But now he didn't put his mind on that, and put it behind him without thinking deeply. It wasn't until a long time later that Kudo Shinichi realized that the feeling that day was actually real, not an illusion.
"Let's talk about anything next week."
——Next week?
Natsume's words made Kudo Shinichi stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that today is Friday! In a month, Natsume was away from home for at least three weekends!
Even except for weekends and holidays, Natsume often goes out on other days and can't even take leave from school.
Obviously, today is another day for Natsume to go out.
"Where have you been every week?"
Kudo Shinichi has been extremely curious about Natsume's whereabouts a long time ago. Based on his understanding of Natsume, he shouldn't do anything bad. Besides, a teenage boy A young man can't do any big bad things.
Thanks to his gossipy mother, Kudo Shinichi also knew that Natsume didn't have any close family members. Apart from a guardian who was the hospital director, Tomoe lived with him.
A few years ago, when he was still young, Kudo Shinichi even did something like stalking Natsume, which shows how serious his curiosity is.
It's a pity that all means have been exhausted, and Kudo Shinichi still hasn't figured out where Natsume went when he disappeared from time to time. This doubt has bothered Kudo Shinichi for many years, and it makes his heart itch every time he thinks about it.
No, when this topic was mentioned, Kudo Shinichi temporarily put aside even his original intention of talking to Natsume.
"Another world."
Natsume answered, telling the truth without even hiding it!
However...
"Tch, if you don't want to say it, forget it. You use this reason every time to deal with me. Don't you know that this reason sounds very persuasive?" Natsume's mouth curled up slightly. Yes, he knew Kudo
. Shinichi couldn't believe his own words, so he told the truth every time he asked.
Well, this is really an interesting thing.
At this time, neither Natsume nor Kudo Shinichi on both ends of the phone knew that the originally agreed meeting was postponed until a long, long time later.
——Now,
Natsume is quite familiar with walking through the bone-eating well. Natsume even considered whether to find a way to move the location of the bone-eating well and bring it to his own home. Otherwise, it would be awkward to sneak to Higurashi Shrine every day. convenient.
Jump into the well, and when you come out, you see a handsome man, no, a dog demon standing by the well.
"Sesshomaru."
Natsume raised his hand and waved to the dog demon, Sesshomaru, with no look of surprise on his face.
Although Sesshomaru never promised anything and had no agreement with Natsume, whenever he had time, he would always wait by the bone well.
On the day when Sesshomaru was waiting by the bone-eating well, Natsume would usually come from the other side of the well. This silent understanding was formed after one person and one demon spent a long time together.
Of course, there were times when Sesshomaru failed, but he never complained to Natsume. This was a gentleness unique to Sesshomaru, a gentleness that only Natsume could enjoy.
"Takashi."
Sesshomaru nodded towards Natsume. The expression on his face seemed as cold as usual, but there was a bit more warmth in his voice.
Natsume walked towards Sesshomaru with a smile. However, when he was almost one meter away from him, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared: "Are you injured?" Natsume frowned slightly and looked at Sesshomaru's
face
. There was also a touch of concern in his eyes:
"Where are you injured?"
Natsume then discovered that Sesshomaru's originally fair complexion was now a little lighter. This was a sign of excessive blood loss.
As time goes by, especially when the time flows on both sides are different, Sesshomaru's strength can be said to be increasing rapidly at a speed that can be discerned by the naked eye. Now, although Natsume still doesn't know what Inuyasha's strength is, as long as Sesshomaru himself doesn't go You're stupid, even if Inuyasha knew wind damage or explosive style now, he would never be able to hurt Sesshomaru even a hair!
Of course, that's assuming Sesshomaru stayed calm and didn't get carried away by anger and jealousy.
Sesshomaru is so strong now, so Natsume is nervous when he finds out he is injured.
——
"It's just a minor injury."
Sesshomaru obviously didn't want to say more. Now he suddenly regretted that he came to the bone-eating well today, otherwise Natsume would not have discovered that he was injured.
"Small injury?"
Natsume didn't believe Sesshomaru's words at all:
"Do you want to take it off yourself, or let me take it off for you."
Natsume moved his fingers, his eyes scanning up and down Sesshomaru's body, as if he was trying to take it off. Thinking about where to start.
The temperature around Sesshomaru suddenly dropped. If someone else threatened him like this, Sesshomaru would tell him directly why the flowers were so red without even saying a word.
But when the other party is Natsume...
