Chapter 87: Die in peace
This time Sesshomaru finally stopped objecting and acquiesced to Natsume's help.
"Hahaha..."
Inutaro didn't understand Natsume, so after listening to Natsume's words, he laughed so arrogantly: "You can come on as many as you want, let alone a human, and any other ones are welcome!"
Poor Inutaro He doesn't know now that his life has actually entered a countdown, especially the more arrogant he is, the closer he is to death.
But soon, Inutaro knew that Sesshomaru with Natsume and without Natsume were really two different people, no, two different monsters.
Natsume didn't really enter the battlefield, he just stood on the sidelines, opened a silver book, and read in a language that Inutaro couldn't understand at all.
Then...
there is no more. After adding Natsume, Sesshomaru's combat power will be doubled. Before, his demon power was only half. After addition and subtraction, Sesshomaru's combat power is the same as in his heyday.
As mentioned before, Sesshomaru in his heyday wanted to kill Inutaro just for fun, so Inutaro soon fell from the upper hand to the lower hand, and then Sesshomaru used the light whip to draw several fatal wounds on his body.
"Ahem..."
Inutaro kept coughing up blood. At this time, he was lying on his back on the ground. He couldn't even stand up, let alone continue to fight.
Don't forget that Sesshomaru's light whip is not only a physical attack, but also a chemical attack! Not everyone can withstand the toxins in the light whip!
Especially after being blessed by the Silver Book.
"I...finally know...why...you...brought a human...by your side..."
Inutarou said intermittently while coughing up blood. Both Natsume and Sesshomaru could see that he was hopeless, so one by one he The demon stood beside Inutaro, but did not end his life directly, but let him finish his last words.
This can be regarded as Sesshomaru's last kindness to his kind.
Inutaro turned his head with difficulty and looked at Natsume seriously for the first and last time: "Who...are you? What is your relationship...with Sesshomaru?"
I don't know if it was Inutaro's brain. Loop is different from other monsters. When he was about to die, he didn't resent Sesshomaru who killed him and Natsume who indirectly killed him, but wanted to understand the relationship between Natsume and Sesshomaru. You have to know why Sesshomaru became so strong after Natsume recited an almost inexplicable word!
If he couldn't get these two answers, Inutaro felt that he would definitely die in peace!
Sesshomaru is not a kind person, and Natsume is certainly not a soft-hearted person. If he were a different opponent today, after using such despicable tactics before, let alone answering his doubts, these two guys would probably want him to die in peace. Woolen cloth!
But Inutaro is different after all. Although Natsume still doesn't know what the relationship between him and Sesshomaru is, it can be seen from many places that they definitely have some kind of connection.
So Natsume didn't speak but looked at Sesshomaru, leaving the choice to Sesshomaru. Whether Inutaro could rest in peace depends on Sesshomaru's choice.
——
"Takashi is indeed a human being, but he is not an ordinary human being. His spiritual power is very strong." After a long silence,
Sesshomaru spoke unexpectedly and unexpectedly. Natsume looked at Sesshomaru again. One glance, and I was convinced once again that for Sesshomaru, Inutarou was definitely not someone who could be completely ignored.
Sesshomaru is not that kind. Every monster before death answers his last questions.
Not to mention what Natsume was thinking, after hearing that Sesshomaru actually answered him, Inutaro was shocked. He suddenly felt a force flowing in his body. Although it still couldn't let him stand up and continue fighting, it made him no longer He was vomiting blood, and he no longer spoke intermittently like before.
"Strong spiritual power?"
Inutaro paused, feeling somewhat clear in his heart, but he still had more doubts. However, he also knew that his time was limited and he should spend the little time on more important things.
Yes, Inutaro knew as well as Natsume and Sesshomaru that the reason why he felt good at this time was not that his injuries had become lighter, nor that his body's self-healing ability had taken effect, but because he had returned to his original state of mind.
The reflection before death.
Do you want to say that Inutaro will not regret it now?
Of course I regret it! It's a pity that regret has no effect at all. He doesn't have much time left in this world, and he doesn't want to spend the little time regretting.
"What's going on with his book? Why does it make you stronger when he holds that book?"
Inutaro's eyes turned from Natsume's face to the silver book in his hand, his eyes were very complicated, and Inutaro also It's not that he is completely ignorant. He also knows that some props can increase the spiritual power of people or monsters, but he has never seen such props that can use spiritual power to increase the power of monsters.
Never even heard of it!
If he had had that book before...
Even if he was about to die, Inutarou's greedy nature still made Inutaro's face unconsciously reveal a hot-eyed expression.
Sesshomaru was so sharp, how could he not notice Inutaro's obvious look? There was a cold flash in his eyes, and Sesshomaru sneered more when he looked at Inutarou:
"I am the owner of that book."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Natsume felt that Sesshomaru's expression seemed a little... proud about this. ?
It's definitely an illusion, right?
"And besides me and Takashi, this book is of no use to anyone."
- This is the bond between me and Takashi.
Sesshomaru didn't say this sentence, he just said it silently in his heart, so even Natsume didn't know.
"As expected, I still...hate you..."
At this time, Inutaro breathed out his last breath, and he breathed his last with a very complicated mood. Maybe he should have thought about this ending before he came to assassinate Sesshomaru today. , just holding a trace of luck and thinking that I might be able to succeed.
It's a pity...
-
"I think I can apply for medical school after graduating from high school."
Natsume said helplessly while treating Sesshomaru's injuries. This time he had been here for less than three days, but it was already the second time he had been treated. Sesshomaru had healed his injuries. Even if he was not a doctor in his previous life, with Sesshomaru as an "experiment" to keep him practicing, his medical level should have reached a certain level.
"Are you a doctor?"
Sesshomaru sneered,
"Do you think you killed more people or saved more people?"
Natsume had committed many murders with Sesshomaru over the years.
"You are wrong, Sesshomaru."
Natsume shook his head:
"I kill monsters, not humans."
Chapter 88 Lies
Although for Natsume, there is no saying that humans or monsters are nobler or lower, because he is a human, so he does very few things like killing people. He is not a big evil, and can be handed over to him. For the police, he will find ways to find evidence and hand it over to the police.
As for those humans who wiped their butts too clean and accidentally fell into Natsume's hands... then they could only admit that they were unlucky.
In response to Natsume's words, Sesshomaru just flashed his eyes and said nothing.
Sesshomaru's injuries were healed, but Natsume was still looking at him steadily. For a short time, he could pretend he didn't see him, but as time went by, even as calm as Sesshomaru became.
Sighing secretly in his heart, Sesshomaru knew that he would not be able to mess around today. At this time, he felt a little helpless, because the flow rates of time between the two spaces were different. For him, the interval between Natsume's visits was almost more than a year, but Why did he come again this time in just five days?
Sesshomaru did not express his doubts, otherwise Natsume would know that the time of the two time and space has been synchronized, which means that Higurashi Kagome's journey to another world is about to begin.
Speaking of time, it is really a wonderful thing. When Natsume stayed in this world, because the speed of time and space was different, there were two days off every week, while here it was 200 days. Natsume spent most of the year The body has not grown much.
Otherwise, based on how often Natsume comes to this world, his body would be who knows how old.
Not to mention the issue of time, Natsume was still waiting for Sesshomaru's answer, and Sesshomaru finally began to explain.
"What do you want to know?"
It was too difficult for Sesshomaru to tell him a story, so he naturally wanted to use the simplest question-and-answer format.
"What is your relationship with Inutaro?"
This is not the question Natsume is most concerned about, but it is still a good start.
"We are somewhat related by blood. His father is from the same race as my father. He was born later than me. At that time, I was already the most powerful among my peers. In addition to my father's identity, I became the heir. He is just an ordinary dog demon."
Sesshomaru explained clearly in a few words, and Natsume suddenly realized that he had already appeared beside Sesshomaru when Inutaro was born. With him and the silver book, Sesshomaru's strength was It's like growing like a chicken. For Inutaro, he has lived in the shadow of Sesshomaru since he was a child, and he naturally has no good impression of him.
In other words, Inutaro may only have hatred for Sesshomaru.
This is also due to his character. As far as Natsume knows, there are many members of the Sesshomaru clan, most of whom respect and fear him very much because of his strength, and obey his leadership. There are still a few like Inutaro.
Thinking about Sesshomaru's attitude towards Inutaro, and then thinking about his attitude towards InuYasha, Natsume reconfirmed in his heart that in fact, for InuYasha, the half-demon brother, Sesshomaru had really regressed too much. At least for InuYasha, he had never truly understood The desire to kill, otherwise InuYasha, who is not as powerful as Inutaro now, would not have been sealed on the sacred tree by Kikyo, but would have gone to the underworld to find the Inu General.
"Okay, Inutaro, let's not talk about it for now. What's going on with your body? I can't check any wounds, but why is your demon power so much less?" At this time, Natsume's expression became serious. Yes,
this This is what Natsume really wants to know and is most concerned about.
Natsume has followed Sesshomaru every step of his growth. Naturally, he knows how difficult it is for him to reach his current strength. Now that he has inexplicably lost half of his demon power, how could nothing happen?
——
"I met an unknown monster a few days ago. I was accidentally attacked, and then my power was inexplicably reduced by half." Sesshomaru said expressionlessly, and nothing could be seen from his face what he said
. Is it the truth or not.
However, with Natsume's shrewdness and his understanding of Sesshomaru, even if Sesshomaru appears calm on the surface, he can still detect differences from the smallest fluctuations.
Not to mention that Sesshomaru had never disdained lying and had almost never lied in his life, so the reason he gave was too weak to withstand scrutiny. Natsume discovered that he was lying almost immediately.
"Huh?"
Natsume looked at Sesshomaru with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes:
"Originally, I thought you couldn't lie. Who knew that the first lie in your life was dedicated to me? Shouldn't I feel that way? It's an honor?"
Sesshomaru's vicious tongue has always been Sesshomaru's patent. No matter how indifferent Natsume is to outsiders, he has always been gentle in front of Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru has almost never heard Natsume speak to him in such a sarcastic tone.
Sesshomaru, who had always thought he was invulnerable to all poisons, now felt a little uncomfortable!
Well, in fact, Sesshomaru also knew that it was difficult to deceive Natsume. Just as Natsume knew himself, he also knew Natsume, and knew that although he looked like a teenager on the surface, he was actually very smart!
This was something that made Sesshomaru proud before, but now it makes him feel helpless.
Sesshomaru rarely felt helpless, but every time it happened it was because of Natsume, just like this time.
Of course Sesshomaru didn't want to deceive Natsume, but it was a bit difficult for him to tell him the reason why his demon power became weak. It wasn't that he had done anything wrong to Natsume, but he was very sure that if he told him, Natsume would definitely angry.
And Sesshomaru originally did this to make Natsume happy!
The more Sesshomaru behaves like this, the more Natsume wants to know the truth of the matter. After knowing each other for so many years, it is the first time that a stalemate exists between a man and a demon.
——
"Moo..."
At this time, a long cow's cry suddenly came from far away. This sound was familiar to both Natsume and Sesshomaru, so they both looked in the direction of the cry. passed.
Because Natsume's sight was in the air, he didn't see it. When he heard the cow braying, Sesshomaru's eyes flickered, especially after seeing the familiar cow in the sky and the old man sitting sideways on the cow's back. , Sesshomaru's eyes flickered even more fiercely.
"Totosai."
Natsume called out the name of the monster that was flying towards this side on a bull. At the same time, he felt doubtful in his heart: "Is he here to find you, Sesshomaru? I always thought he was very strange. If I don't want to see you, why would I take the initiative to see you?"
After confirming who the visitor was, Natsume turned his head and asked Sesshomaru, and then finally noticed his strange expression.
--what happened? There's something wrong with Sesshomaru's expression!
