[Comprehensive Manga] Zero Consciousness

Natsume Takashi was taken aback by Mr. Cat's sudden behavior, "Mr. Cat, what are you doing!"

"Did that guy say he's from the Kushi family?" Mr. Cat casually wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth with his paw, and asked seriously, "Did you hear me right?"

"There shouldn't be anything wrong." Natsume Takashi took a rag from the side and began to wipe the tatami mats, "There is also the business card he gave me on the table, and he helped me just now, and said that if If I encounter something, I can go to the Kuze family on the other side of the mountain to find him or something."

When Mr. Cat heard that the person who would do such a behavior of helping others would probably not be the Kushi family, when he heard what he said on the other side of the mountain, Mr. Cat couldn't help but sweep away the small business card with his paw. Then he threw himself on Natsume Takashi, "Immediately forget all about the people you met with Kuze!"

"Huh? Teacher Cat?" Takashi Natsume looked at the fat cat in front of him in surprise, "What are you talking about?"

"On that mountain, the people in that family are out of their minds!" Seeing his expression as if he saw something strange, Mr. Cat couldn't help saying loudly, "I'm not joking!"

"Teacher..." Natsume Takashi said helplessly, "That person doesn't have any malicious intentions."

"Natsume, you don't know, that's why you think I'm joking with you. Kuze's family is not as simple as you imagined!" Mr. Cat simply changed back to his original appearance, the huge one looks like a fox and a wolf The body of a monster almost filled the whole room, Madara's face no longer had the lazy look when he turned into a cat, but looked at him seriously, "You haven't really seen the real Kuze , That's why I misunderstood. The group of people in Jiuze are simply a group of lunatics!"

"Madman or something..." Natsume Takashi still couldn't believe it, but seeing Mr. Cat's serious look, he put down the rag, sat down and looked at him seriously and asked.

"Teacher, please tell me, what's going on with Kuze?" The boy who didn't understand what was wrong looked at him seriously and asked.

"I have not been here for a very long time. In fact, when I came here, this place has been separated from Kuze's territory." He said, looking at them with a complicated expression, " In order to know the Kuze family that the monsters here have mentioned, I went to the opposite land to have a look, and then..."

"What's the matter?" Natsume Takashi couldn't help asking, seeing Mr. Cat's rare serious look.

"I saw that people from that family were using living people as sacrifices!" Madara said seriously, "I even saw that their people gouged out a woman's eyes and then penetrated the blind woman with a rope eye sockets, and sew cloth strips where the eyes would be."

Such a picture is unbearable just to think about it, let alone to put it into reality.Natsume Takashi couldn't help covering his mouth, "Such a thing... such a thing..."

"It's true, not only that, the Kushi family will take the initiative to drive out the men in the family, and those who refuse to leave will directly kill them." Madara's expression is very bad, "There are too many lunatics in that family. , don't get close to them!"

"How could it be..." Natsume Takashi couldn't imagine that the girl he met earlier (Linghua didn't reveal her gender) would be such a scary person, and immediately covered her mouth in a somewhat unimaginable way.

"You don't have to worry too much. People of their clan hardly take action against outsiders, but if they are selected by their people as candidates for their strange rituals, things will not be easy to say."

Madara's expression was very serious, "So, don't get close to them, don't look at their faces, and it's even better to pretend that they don't exist."

Natsume Takashi suddenly raised his head, "But, that girl doesn't have the kind of teacher you said..." He was halfway through speaking, and then suddenly stopped, because he remembered that the other party only used one sentence to say something. Let the monsters who were chasing after him calm down.

That kind of silence is not like a stillness in the general sense, but more like seeing something terrible and being too frightened to move.

"Natsume, don't climb that mountain easily, and don't have any involvement with the Kushi family, otherwise it will be very dangerous." Madara warned again solemnly.

"I see." Natsume Shiki was silent for a while, then smiled wryly, "At first, I thought maybe I could meet another friend..."

Linghua, who didn't know that he was hacked behind his back, happily met up with the tennis club, went to eat together, and then walked home slowly all the way. To meet a cute boy like Natsume Takashi today is already Make him happy enough.

Staying in a small village with few people in Aomori for so many days is almost the limit of the teenagers, so they proposed to leave without hypocrisy.

Linghua also guessed that they couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply followed them back to Tokyo.

After the fall break, the weather started to cool down.When he came back from school that day, a pot was already placed on the stove at home, and he was cooking for some reason. The spicy smell kept coming, which made people feel naturally good.

Linghua unceremoniously put down his schoolbag without changing his clothes, just sat down cross-legged like this, took the spoon that was placed aside and gently put a spoonful of the bright red soup in the pot into his mouth, and then felt A hot feeling came from his mouth.

"Wow, it's so spicy." Ling Hua looked around, and a woman had already handed it over with barley herbal tea.

"Who is making dinner today?" Ling Hua was a little strange. Although the food at home is prepared by the ghosts, the taste is generally light. Such things are more comfortable, so he took another spoonful of soup and put it in his mouth.

"It's me." A priest with a triangular scarf tied on his head suddenly appeared from the ground.

Looking at the lifeless dead fish eyes of the other party, Ling Hua couldn't help spraying the contents of his mouth onto his face, "Pfft!"

"Is this super spicy mapo tofu not to your liking?" Kotomine Kirei, who had stayed here for quite a while, asked with a frown.

"No, I just didn't expect that you would be cooking." Linghua took the wet towel handed over by the maid at the side and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said a little speechlessly.

"For the sake of the Lord I serve, is there anything wrong with offering my carefully prepared food?" Kotomine Kirei said seriously, "This is my favorite food, and every time I taste it, it makes me feel physically and mentally happy .”

Linghua was silent for a while, put down the spoon and said: "I appreciate your kindness, but please study the way of cooking food carefully before offering." A lot of chili sauce and chili oil can be considered delicious!"

Even though he scolded the other party like this, Linghua still ate the pot of things that were not so much mapo tofu as a mixture of chili oil, and conveniently added a note to Kotomine Kirei's research book. Pen.

Daily life always goes by very quickly, and Christmas will come soon, but at this moment, some strange things happen quietly to some people.

Half a month before Christmas, Mao Lilan began to worry about what kind of gift to give Kudo Shinichi, but the question that bothered her even more was whether Kudo Shinichi could come back at Christmas.

He has been missing for almost a year, even if there are phone calls from time to time, Xiaolan is still worried about the other party's situation.

"Christmas? I don't think it's very good." On the phone, Kudo Shinichi's voice was as heartless as ever, "I can't help it. There are too many cases in my hand. Well, Xiaolan, I still have something to do. , let’s talk back later.”

"Xinyi, you big idiot!!!!" The girl angrily threw the phone down.

When Conan came back, he saw the angry face of the girl who was still in a rage, and couldn't help touching her head embarrassingly, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm back."

At first, everyone thought that life would continue as usual, but unexpectedly, that night, Mao Lilan suddenly had a dream.

She dreamed that she was standing at the door of an old mansion. The mansion was completely in the style of ancient Japanese architecture. While it was very old, it also had a strange and indescribable attraction.

"This is...?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then when she raised her head, she saw a familiar figure walking towards the opposite corner, "Xinyi?"

"Xinyi!!!" Xiaolan quickly chased after him, "Wait a minute, I'm Xiaolan, Xinyi!?"

The person in front of him seemed to have not heard it, and continued to move forward without the slightest hesitation.

Mao Lilan ran after Kudo Shinichi, the weirdness in the mansion had been completely forgotten by her, "Xinichi, wait a minute!"

She ran down the dimly lit corridor with candles, and just as she opened the next door, she woke up.

The sky was bright, and the bright sunlight shone in, and sprinkled on her face from the window, "Strange dream... Is it because I miss Shinichi's relationship too much?"

"Well, it's just a dream after all." The girl shook her head vigorously, patted her face lightly, and stood up to wash up for the day.

"Sister Xiaolan, what's the matter with you?" Conan, who was laying the floor in her room, saw her bewildered face when she got up in the morning, and couldn't help asking with concern.

"It's nothing." Mao Lilan said fiercely, "I didn't dream about that nasty guy!"

As she spoke, she forgot about the dream.

Then the next night, she returned to this strange dream again.
