[Comprehensive] The ghost lamp of the blue lamp

Zhang Jingsi didn't know anything, so he could happily ask if the ghost lamp had come, although in fact he didn't want to see that ghost at all.

It would be good if there was only one blue lantern. He watched the hunt at Maruyama’s house from beginning to end, so he naturally knew that the young man in front of him who looked about the same age as Natsume was not very tactful, and he seemed to be inexperienced. , the kind that is easy to cliché.

And that Lord Ghost is an existence that is not easy to mess with at first glance, it is better not to see it if you can see it or not.

Qing Deng said with a smile: "No, Mr. Ghost Deng is busy with work, usually he doesn't have much time to attend parties, and he doesn't like lively places very much."

Then he said again: "Speaking of which, we also met Patriarch Maruyama yesterday, and he asked me to say hello to you."

This is not Qingdeng talking nonsense. When Patriarch Maruyama found Ghost Lantern and Qingdeng during the trial, there really was the right person to say hello, but the words were a little bit fierce.

The original words were probably "Damn Changjia", "I will wait for them in hell", "let's go to hell together" and so on.

It can be seen how much Patriarch Maruyama "misses" Patriarch Chang.

Zhang Jingsi's smile froze, and although he quickly recovered, he still couldn't escape the green light that had been staring at him.

"It really bothered him to think about it."

Then changed the subject.

On the other hand, when Natori Monday heard their conversation, he became a little more suspicious.

If he remembers correctly, the old head of the Maruyama family had passed away due to serious injuries more than a month ago. After that, it was soon reported that the Maruyama family was annexed by the Chang family. The Maruyama family, who became the affiliated head of the Chang family, hasn't elected a new head, right?

Then who would be the "Patriarch Maruyama" who asked Qing Deng to greet him?

Qing Deng went straight to the point and said: "I heard Natsume say that Patriarch Chang invited him to the banquet for something, please, I don't know what it is?"

Only then did Chang Jingji seriously explain the reason why he insisted on inviting Natsume.

It turned out that when Natsume was invited by the Chang family last time, Jingji found that he could see monsters possessing human beings—this was something that other demon masters couldn’t see—so this time he could see the monsters again. Natsume please come.

"Recently, the circle of exorcising demons is not very peaceful. Suddenly, exorcising demons suddenly die at home for unknown reasons. We suspect that there are monsters, so I want to ask Natsume to help see if someone is possessed by monsters. dead."

Because the exorcist is often mixed with monsters, there is more or less aura of monsters on his body, so it is impossible to identify it only by Shikigami.

That's why Chang Jingsi thought of Natsume, and invited him here again.

Of course, just like what I said before, Zhang Jingsi also had some intentions to see Qingdeng again, but he didn't expect to see him so smoothly.

Natori Zhou also frowned at this time and said: "I have heard about the sudden death of demon masters, and I heard that the dead people behaved more or less strangely in the days before their death, and when they died, they died in a miserable way. .”

This matter is also very troublesome in the circle of exorcising demons. The exorcists who died suddenly have shikigami around them, but although these shikigami can feel that the master's behavior is a bit strange, they have nothing else to do. What other discoveries were that Shikigami who witnessed the sudden death of his master, did not find any traces of other monsters at the scene.

This is particularly suspicious, and at the same time, it also made the exorcists panic.

As soon as Natsume heard that someone was killed, he was a little reluctant at first, but he immediately changed his attitude and said that he would help if he didn't want to help.

"But I'm not sure if I can help, doesn't it mean that even Shikigami couldn't find any trace of youkai?"

"As long as you are willing to help, I won't force the result." Facing Natsume, Shiba Jingji's attitude was obviously more real, not as false as when facing the blue lantern.

Qing Deng secretly spurned it, another big-tailed wolf who wanted to take away his little Natsume lamb.

Now that the matter is settled, it is natural to go to the banquet that is about to start.

As the host of this banquet, Chang Jingsi would not be mistaken even if he appeared wearing a mask, not to mention that he himself did not intend to wear a mask, so in order not to attract attention, Qing Deng and his party went with Chang Shizumi left and quietly entered the venue.

Although some exorcisers discovered their group, but since everyone was wearing masks, no one recognized Natori Yiyi, an ordinary person and a celebrity among the exorcists, let alone Qingdeng and Natsume. The gorgeous attire does not look like an orthodox exorcist at first glance, it is probably just someone from a small, unknown family who has gained a lot of experience.

So the scrutiny eyes of the exorcists only swept away when they appeared, and then quickly moved away.

Qingdeng and Natsume were also happy and quiet.

The three of them walked to the dining table in the corner with Shikigami, Qing Deng took the plate and got some food, after the car ride all the way, he was already a little hungry.

"Do you want to eat it? This tastes good." After Qing Deng tasted one, he thought it was good and recommended it to Natsume.

"Thank you."

Natsume was still thinking about what Jingji Chang said before, a little absent-minded, but Mr. Cat was already attracted by the table of delicious food and wine, struggling to eat and drink.

Natsume hugged it tightly, it was already a little strange to bring a cat to the party, if Mr. Cat ran to the dining table again, it would attract a lot of attention.

Maybe they will be kicked out.

"Teacher Cat, please bear with me, now is not the time to drink, don't get drunk here!"

"Don't worry, I'll just drink a little and I won't get drunk, Natsume, let me go!" Teacher Cat struggled harder and harder.

Seeing that the actions of the two of them had attracted the attention of some people, Qing Deng quickly took a plate and put some of the food Mr. Cat liked, and took a glass of champagne, and enlarged the dining table on the chair for people to rest.

Seeing this, Natsume put Mr. Kitty on the chair and let him eat here: "Absolutely don't run to the table, and don't drink too much."

"Understood, long-winded guy." With wine and food, Teacher Cat became quiet.

"Your cat teacher is still so lively." Natori Zhou laughed after watching a scene. Although he knew that it was a big monster, but seeing its round and cute appearance now, it was really hard to get along with that powerful and majestic monster. I think of the big monsters.

Natsume said embarrassedly: "I made you laugh."

Maybe it was because there was too much movement here just now, and soon someone recognized Natori Monday and came to chat with him. Natori Monday chatted with the other party while calmly leading people to other places, lest these demon exorcists Lead the topic to Natsume and Qingdeng.

As soon as he left, the three shikigami also left, and Natsume dared to talk to Qingdeng about some more private issues.

Xia Mu asked Qingdeng: "What do you think of what Mr. Chang said just now? Is it really a monster?"

Qing Deng ate the delicious food and asked him, "What do you think?"

Natsume hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't think it might be a monster."

Qing Deng became interested and motioned for him to continue talking.

Natsume began to analyze.

"If it's a monster, it's impossible for those shikigami to discover nothing. After all, no matter how you hide the monster, it should be exposed after the death of the demon master, right?"

"Then what do you think it is?"

Natsume didn't answer, but suddenly talked about Qingdeng's behavior today: "You have been weird since you came to the annex, always looking around. But there is nothing in the place you looked at... Did you see... Ghost?"

When he said this, Natsume couldn't help but look around. He was clearly in the venue where people were coming and going, but he felt that the air had become eerie.

Natsume is not afraid of monsters. He has seen countless monsters since he was a child, but he has never seen ghosts like ghosts. If he hadn't met Qingdeng, he still doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world. .

But he met Qingdeng, and he also had a video chat with his parents and grandma in heaven, so now he also realizes that ghosts and other non-human beings that are different from monsters really exist.

But he couldn't see it, which made Natsume a little scared and curious at the same time, obviously they were all the same non-human beings, why he could see monsters but not those ghosts?

He asked this question.

Qingdeng didn't really understand it, but the system knew, so Qingdeng relayed the system's explanation to Natsume.

"Ordinary dead are very weak. They are like microorganisms in the air, which are not easy to be found. Only people with spiritual power can feel it. Although you can't see it, you can actually feel it, right? That's the kind It seems like someone is staring at you, but you can’t find the source of your line of sight?”

Natsume has always had this kind of experience: "But I thought there was a monster staring at me."

"It's also possible, but if you can see monsters but don't see who is looking at you, then half of them are dead people, but ordinary dead people are too weak, and their own existence is very weak unless you open the yin and yang eyes. Otherwise humans would not be able to see them."

"The stronger ones may be seen, but the premise is that they are willing to show themselves, but the dead are also the food that monsters like. There is never a shortage of monsters around you. Naturally, those dead people will not appear in front of you stupidly. It would be strange if the monster swallowed it."

"Besides, hell is now under strict control. There is also a Togini-sama who can predict death in the Reception Department (this is a part-time Inari God in this world). As soon as the deceased dies, he will be picked up by the Reception Department immediately. Almost It won't stay in this world for long."

"That's why I think it's very interesting here."

The beautiful lips exposed under the fox mask drew a delicate arc.

"There are so many dead people who are useless to be picked up."

It's as if they've gathered together on purpose for a party.
