I'm just for 100 billion

Asuka heard Akashi's muttering to himself, he thought for a while, and had a guess in his mind, but then he thought "how is that possible", and then put this guess behind him.

They then chatted for a few more words, and then said good night to each other, Asuka hung up the phone, feeling that Akashi was really hard at the moment, and he was still busy at this point.

But thanks to Akashi's phone call, he stopped his random thoughts just now.

That nightmare was too real, the numbness after the severe pain caused by the bullet remaining in the body, the helplessness of the body bleeding outward, and the pity for the red-haired child who collapsed and cried still remained in his heart.

With his cautious personality, it is impossible to directly treat it as a pure nightmare.

But unfortunately, he didn't get any clues in the dream, as if the key points were deliberately hidden, this feeling of deliberately attracting people's bait is really unpleasant.

But Asuka couldn't just ignore it, because he lost too much blood, so everything in the dream seemed to him to be separated by a layer of fog, and he tried hard to think about the main points that could serve as clues.

For some reason, he remembered Chuanyi's words that had nothing to do with the dream.

Guli Zhenyue... Guli...

It is said that he had a nightmare the night after listening to Chuanyi's words, making it difficult to ignore the connection.

When he was very young, in fact, it was said that this man was his nightmare, with a dark city and a dark personality. From the very beginning, he thought how could such a man be forced to escape abroad by debts. his.

Asuka has gone through many worlds, and his heart and force values ​​have improved, but this obviously cannot be used to check people in this world.

Previously, the connection with the King of Gold was through a special method in the world of supernatural powers. Although there are gods and monsters in this world, these things happened in invisible corners and could not interfere with the operation of this world.

Even Yato accepts jobs obediently through small print advertisements and telemarketing, and the descendants of his friend Hua Piao may still be going to school step by step.

In this world, he is just an ordinary high school student without any connections or capital, so it is more difficult to do something.

If they were looking for someone, they should be entrusting a private detective. Asuka suddenly thought of the famous Kogoro Mori. He had seen Kogoro Mori's reasoning ability at the Polo Cafe.

Thinking of this, there are some black lines on the back of his head, and the reasoning ability of the Maori detective who is not sleeping is only a little higher than that of ordinary people.

Even if the reasoning ability of the other party has greatly increased after he fell asleep, he still dare not entrust the commission to the other party. It will be troublesome if the other party messes up when he is awake.

He also thought of Mr. Toru Amuro, who claimed to be the "disciple of Mori Kogoro". Mr. Amuro has a strong reasoning ability, but this person is also full of secrets, so he is not a suitable candidate.

High school student detectives in this world are quite famous, Asuka remembers that he and high school student detective Kudo Shinichi went to the same school, but the other party's whereabouts are unknown now.

Asuka's expression was a little helpless, did this matter come to a dead end?

He could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​investigating. If there is no clue about some things, it means that it is not time to solve them, and it is not very urgent.

He has already stood at the entrance of the puzzle solving game, and the rest is just waiting for the opportunity, with a game attitude. He is not in a hurry, Asuka thought.

The next day, because of the task of shooting a game advertisement, he needed to go to the deep mountains. Asuka asked the teacher for leave, and then took the tram to the destination.

The tram gradually moved away from the bustling city of Tokyo, and the green plants on both sides of the tramway became more and more, and the air became fresher. Although there was no way to compare it with the Warring States Period, the memory of that time still appeared in front of his eyes.

After arriving at the destination, Asuka's expression paused, this is actually the mountain where he and Yuanyi once lived.

Asuka flipped through the travel list that was stuffed by volunteers after he got off the tram. This mountain is a famous tourist attraction. The land above and below the mountain are obviously similar, but the fruit trees on the mountain bear bigger, crisper and sweeter fruits than those on the bottom of the mountain.

This land is not peaceful. It has been devastated by wildfires and earthquakes, but this mountain is still evergreen all the year round. The residents who have lived near this mountain for generations have passed down legends about this mountain.

It is said that this mountain used to be the residence of the gods, and this rumor adds to the mystery of this mountain, making this mountain a well-known sacred mountain.

Asuka looked at the introduction on the list with a complicated expression. There are many traces of Rage God's power left on this mountain.

Now he is convinced that the Warring States Period and the Edo Period he traveled through are the past of this world, and there were traces of the existence of Yuanyi and Tongmo in this world,

Seeing Asuka coming, the crew hurriedly called him over. According to the rules, they had to offer incense before entering the sacred mountain. Asuka didn't know whether it was offering incense to his past self or some other existence.

After completing these procedures, a group of people went up the mountain.

After filming his scenes, Asuka was free to move about. He saw that it was still early in the sky, so he was not in a hurry to go home.

He was determined to take a look at his and Yuanyi's home during the Warring States period, and he didn't know if Tu and other monsters were still here.

Asuka had just climbed to the middle of the mountain when a huge snow-white monster flew across the sky. There was a boy on his back on the big monster. Asuka noticed that there was no malice on the monster, and he didn't intend to kill or eat the boy. .

It seemed that the boy and the monster knew each other. After confirming that he didn't need to rescue the boy from the monster, Asuka continued to walk up the mountain.

When he was about to approach the old log cabin, a huge cat demon was rushing towards him. Asuka only had a backpack at hand now, and he was dressed like an ordinary tourist.

He dodged to the side expressionlessly, just dodging a claw of the cat monster. The huge cat claws scratched several marks on the nearby rocks. If it was touched by a human body, it should be completely torn crack.

At this time, an exclamation came from above: "Be careful!"

Asuka looked up, and saw that it was the boy sitting on the big monster that he saw just now, because the distance was very close, so Asuka could see the other person's appearance clearly.

Light-colored hair, gentle eyes, wearing a white shirt, is a thin boy.

Following his exclamation, the cat demon's second claw came over, but before it could attack Asuka, it was repelled by the big monster under the boy's seat.

The boy hurriedly got off the big monster and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

Although he was a stranger, but his tone was so concerned, he was really a kind boy. He never thought that such a boy would stay with such a monster who was not easy to mess with at first sight.

Asuka said, "I'm fine."

The young man showed a relieved expression, but he was startled for a second, and finally came to his senses, and asked a little nervously, "Can you see monsters too?"

Asuka nodded: "You can see the one just now, and the one behind you."

The big monster behind him sneered and said, "Natsume, don't worry about this person. His spiritual power is much stronger than yours. Even if we don't show up, that cat monster is no match for him."

"Amazing."

Since childhood, Natsume Takashi, who can only dodge the pranks of little monsters, admired him. Facing the pranks of monsters, he did not fight back because of his kind personality, and as a fragile human being, he could not fight back.

So when Mr. Cat described the boy who was about his age in front of him, he couldn't help showing envy.

The big monster sniffed at Asuka, and said, "You have an aura and spiritual power similar to that of this mountain. It seems that you have some relationship with the god who used to live on this mountain."

Asuka didn't respond to the big monster's words. He watched the cat monster and the big monster shrink in size at the same time, turning into kittens.

No, there is still a difference. The cat demon who attacked him just now was frightened by the big monster, so it shrank into a thin little black cat, and its body was still shaking.

And the big monster turned into a three-flowered lucky cat with a strange expression. Asuka looked at the cat, wondering if it would be more appropriate to classify the other's figure as a piglet.

"Young man, besides the aura of gods, you seem to have the smell of Nanatsujiya's bean paste buns."

"Cat teacher!"

Seeing the movement of the little pig cat sticking out its tongue and licking its paws, Asuka understood immediately, and then took out the Nanatsujiya bean paste bag gift box from the backpack as a present.

Mr. Cat quickly took the gift box back with an agility that didn't fit his figure. While drooling at the bean paste bun, he turned his head to look at Asuka, and said, "You're quite a decent person."

Natsume Takashi looked at his cat with some headaches, but the cat teacher didn't take his dissuasion seriously at all, he could only look at Asuka with an apologetic expression, and said: "This classmate, I'm really sorry, our family The cat is too greedy."

Asuka shook his head to express his indifference, and said, "It doesn't matter, Mr. Cat also saved me just now, so this is a thank you gift."

Natsume looked at Asuka, and sighed in his heart that this boy who was similar to his age was so easy to talk to.

After seeing Asuka's appearance clearly, he felt that the other party was as dazzling as a star. The town where he lived was very remote, and he rarely saw such a person.

It is very rare to come into contact with people like Zhang Jingsi, a big star named Monday, and a powerful exorcist, but the people in front of him are even more important than them...

Natsume Takashi couldn't describe it. If he really wanted to say it, he felt that it would be difficult to meet such a person even in Tokyo, where the population is so dense that he felt pressured.

Asuka watched a scene of returning names that he had never seen before, because he usually encountered monsters that needed to be dealt with with a knife, or the kind that related to the order of the monster world, so it was inconvenient to deal with the leader of the monster organization, so he was concerned about the monsters. Things are poorly understood.

I didn't expect youkai to be bound by things like names. It seems that the relationship between humans and youkai who made this book of friends is very good.

"My name is Uno Asuka, what is your name?"

"Hello, I'm Takashi Natsume, and this is Mr. Cat." Natsume said as he struggled to pick up Mr. Cat, whom he could barely hold.

"Is Uno-kun coming to this mountain for tourism?" This mountain not far from home often receives tourists from afar.

"I came here to work, and then I came to visit this mountain by the way." Asuka glanced at the little pig cat, and then said: "As Teacher Cat said, this mountain and I have a bit of fate, so I want to get closer Take a look from a distance."

Work?Natsume recalled the crew that he saw before, and Uno-kun is indeed a star, he said: "It's a bit late now, and this mountain is not safe when the sky gets dark. It just so happens that my uncle and aunt and I have volunteered for this mountain. Tour guide, let me show you around."

Looking at Natsume's sincere eyes, Asuka said, "Thank you, Natsume, and Teacher Kitty."

Teacher Cat quickly finished off a box of red bean paste buns, wiped the three-petal mouth with the cat's paw and said, "Since I ate your food just now, I will follow Natsume to accompany you with great kindness."

Asuka, Natsume and Teacher Cat then walked up the mountain together. Natsume has been here since she was adopted by Aunt Tako and Uncle Tazi, and has lived in this small town at the foot of the mountain until now.

This sacred mountain has brought a lot of tourism income to this small town, and my uncle's work is also related to this mountain, so he is very familiar with every plant and tree on this mountain.

He took Asuka to see the best scenery in the mountains. Although Mr. Cat was a little noisy, Asuka and Natsume were both quiet and gentle, so they got along very well.

Although hundreds of years have passed, the appearance of the mountain has changed, but I can still vaguely find the scene in my memory. When Natsume turned his head to look at Asuka, he could see it from the pure black pupils of Asuka's eyes reddened by the sunset from time to time. The color of nostalgia.

Although some were curious about why Asuka showed such an expression on this mountain, it was a secret belonging to others, and it was inconvenient for him to ask.

After walking for a while, Asuka suddenly pointed somewhere far away and said, "Is there a small wooden house there?"

Natsume replied with some surprise: "According to the old people, that location is where the gods used to live, but because of a long time, the cabin has disappeared, but the fruit trees planted near the cabin are still there."

"Then let's go there and have a look."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Arriving at the destination, Asuka stared at the open space in front of him in a daze for a while, then his expression returned to normal.

Now only a vertical stone in front of the door is left of his and Yuanyi's house, on which the two names "Asuka" and "Yuanyi" used to be written, and they take that stone as the nameplate of their home.

Now that their names have been polished, and the surface of the stone is smooth, he turned to Natsume and Mr. Kitty and said, "Let's go."

When they descended the mountain, the air in the mountain suddenly shook, like a stone thrown into the water, causing shallow ripples, and then quickly returned to calm.

Asuka gave all the souvenirs he bought at the beginning to Mr. Cat as a thank you gift for accompanying him all the way. After exchanging contact information, Asuka boarded the train back to Tokyo.

It was already late after returning to Tokyo, Asuka came out of the station, wondering whether to take a walk or take a taxi back.

Just as he was choosing between the two, a white Mazda stopped beside him, the window slid down, and Asuka saw Toru Amuro's eyes that were bright in the dark.

Toru Amuro expressed surprise: "Asuka, why are you still outside so late?"
