[Comprehensive Manga] Zero Consciousness

As soon as the ceremony was over, the lights in the rooms outside began to be lit.The many maids waiting on the side came to the door of the visitor's room and knocked on the door. It was time to go down the mountain.

"At a time like this, they said they were going down the mountain or something." Mori Kogoro, who was dozing off in the room because he was a little sleepy, muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Husband, that's enough for you." Fei Yingli comforted him, "Didn't you know when we were in the lounge before? We will be sent down the mountain immediately after the ceremony."

"It's just very strange." Mori Kogoro yawned loudly, packed up his things, and walked outside.

"Guests, please go this way." The maid who brought them in stood at the door, bowed slightly when she saw them coming out, and led them towards the door.

The room next to it was also lit up, and many worshipers were being led out one by one.

Although Conan also finds it very strange, but now he is watched tightly by others, and he can't run around at all.

"Mori-kun." Mori Kogoro's former boss, Shimaji Samezaki, took the initiative to wave and greet him. His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing anyone.

There are many people here, but apart from the sounds of walking and rubbing clothes, they are so quiet as if they are in an open space.

"Senior." Mori Kogoro also greeted briefly, then walked over.

There were quite a few people who led them down the mountain, and they all held lanterns in their hands. The candlelight of the lanterns illuminated everyone's feet, and they began to move down the mountain little by little.

The snow started to get smaller, even if they didn't bring up an umbrella, they could now go down with peace of mind without worrying about getting wet.

It's just that it has snowed for most of the night, and the road down the mountain is not easy. There is heavy snow on the mountain road, and many places are frozen.From time to time, someone in the line slipped, and the women walking beside them would quickly and quickly grab the arms of those who almost slipped to prevent them from falling.

The way down the mountain is always faster than the way up.

When everyone went down the mountain, the women who brought them down bowed in unison, then turned and returned to the mansion on the mountain.

"This group of people... is really strange." Edogawa Conan couldn't help but said.

"You just shut up." Mori Kogoro hit his head with a fist, ignored his wailing, turned around and dragged him to the car, "Go back, it's so late."

"Okay." Suzuki Sonoko has been in a good mood since seeing Mao Lilan return safely. When she heard this, she quickly raised her hand and said, "My family also has a villa in Aomori City. Let's go there and rest for a night. Come back to Tokyo tomorrow!"

"Okay." Fei Yingli nodded with a smile, and then said with some emotion, "Speaking of which, today seems to be Christmas Eve."

"Ah, I completely forgot about it." Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then shrugged and said, "Forget it, let's go shopping in Aomori City for Christmas, and buy some apples for them as Christmas presents later." When she said this, she mainly looked at Mao Lilan. Xiaolan blushed suddenly and stopped talking.

"Hey, it's too shabby to buy an apple as a gift for me." Conan pouted his mouth and thought, but seeing Mao Lilan regaining his vitality, and seeing Huiyuan Ai returning to his original calm look, he will Hands behind the head, "they're the best Christmas present if they're okay."

The mighty convoy drove out of this remote rural town, and after arriving in the urban area, they dispersed.

Small snowflakes are falling in the urban area of ​​Aomori, and there will be a white Christmas. For those who are looking forward to this, it is probably the most wonderful thing.

"近づいた足音君ならいいのに..." Natsume heard a not-so-clear singing voice in her sleep. The singing voice was very cute, and the little girls who sang together gave a very good feeling.

Wait a minute, sing?little girl?

Natsume opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a strange ceiling in front of him. He jumped up suddenly, almost kicking Mr. Cat who was sleeping next to him, and rushed towards the singing place.

Opening the paper sliding door, he saw four little girls in the courtyard clapping their hands and singing, and under the wooden porch, a man with very beautiful long hair was wearing a men's bathrobe and a coat, holding a pipe of dry tobacco in his hand. The pipe is smoking over there.

Hearing the sound of the sliding door, the man turned his head and greeted with a smile, "Hey, Natsume-kun, are you sleeping well?"

"You...you you you you..." The boy almost turned himself into a repeater, pointing at the man's face and said in disbelief.

Shaking off his own shell, Kuze Linghua, who only appeared in a spirit body, laughed. He is the kind of person who doesn't look like a man even in men's clothing, but he has a height of more than 180 standing there. Now that he was wearing a yukata that completely exposed his chest, it was unlikely that anyone would believe that he was actually a man.

"It seems that yesterday's dream really scared you." Linghua smiled, and casually exhaled the smoke, "Now after waking up, do you feel better?"

"Hey, dreaming?" Natsume Takashi knelt down on the ground, "Is it just me dreaming..."

"No, it's not a dream." Ling Hua measured his body, looked at his face and smiled, "This is not a dream at all, it's just that you see it through a dream."

Natsume Takashi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Don't worry like that." Linghua patted his head with a smile, "I'm very touched that you worried about me, but ah, this is my fate, or my mission."

"How could there be such an unreasonable mission!" Takashi Natsume couldn't help retorting loudly.

Linghua laughed, and he stretched out his arms to embrace the boy who was about to cry, "Thank you, thank you very much."

The boy who was hugged was at a loss for a while, and after a while, he carefully stretched out his hand and hugged him back.

After the two hugged each other for a while, Linghua let go of his hugging hand, "Well, I see your cat is awake too, let's talk about it after we have a meal together."

"Ah, Teacher Kitty." Natsume Takashi quickly jumped up, ran to Teacher Kitty, and saw Teacher Kitty getting up from the ground with a confused expression on his face.

"Natsume, yesterday!!!" After the cat teacher woke up, the hair of the whole cat was about to explode.

"Hey, it seems that the spirit of the cat is also good." Linghua knocked on the cigarette stick in his hand on the porch, and then walked over, "Go wash up, I'll wait for you next door, our breakfast is very good Oh."

"Ah? Oh." Natsume Takashi nodded in a daze, and at his feet, Mr. Cat exploded completely, so furry that he looked like a huge plush doll.

"Natsume, what the hell is going on!!!" Teacher Cat almost stretched out his claws to scratch Natsume's body.

"I don't know either." Natsume Takashi explained helplessly, "It sounds like he asked us to go to the next door to listen to the explanation after dinner..."

After being embarrassed for a while, he asked the cat teacher who had swelled up a whole circle in embarrassment: "Well, is Jiu Shi-kun a man or a woman?"

"How would I know!" Teacher Cat continued to maintain the attitude of blowing hair.

After washing up, one person and one cat hesitantly followed the swift-moving maid towards the "next room" that Kuze Linghua said.

"Are you fully awake now?" Seeing them walking in, Kushi Linghua put down the pipe in his hand and smiled, "Come on, here is the prepared breakfast, it tastes very good."

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I need to trouble you to prepare breakfast for me..." Natsume Takashi said with some embarrassment, "That..."

"If you want to ask about yesterday, you can have a meal first before asking." Ling Hua shook his head and smiled, "Eat breakfast well, you are still developing."

Natsume Takashi was even more embarrassed, but he still honestly picked up the chopsticks and put them between his thumb and index finger, clasped his hands together and said, "I'm starting."

The food delivered was a standard Japanese breakfast, rice, miso soup, natto, thick egg yaki, vegetable salad, and saury. This rich breakfast was quickly eaten up by one person and one cat.

"Thank you for the hospitality!" One person and one cat said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Linghua signaled others to take the tableware away, then looked at them and said with a smile, "If you want to ask me about last night, it's a longer and less interesting story. I want to hear it." Is it?"

Natsume Takashi nodded quickly, "What's going on? Why do you say that this is your mission?"

Ling Hua looked at the young man's earnest eyebrows, and the expression on his face softened, "The Kushi family is a very old family that has lived on this land for many years..."

His voice was very soft, and he narrated the ancient history of the Kushi family.

"Until now, the Jiu family has had to rely on life sacrifices to calm Chang Yehai." Seeing the expression of shock and sadness on the other party's face again, Ling Hua couldn't help shaking his head, "You There is no need to show such an expression, after all, the people who went to suppress Chang Yehai as witches all along were willing to do so, so don't take it too seriously."

"How could it be...don't care..." The boy almost cried.

Kuze Reika stretched out his hand and touched his head, "You are really a good boy, but the witch is willing, I did not deceive you, if you go to Naraku with nostalgia for the world, all kinds of disasters will happen, not only can't Take the missing away, and there will be a very terrible disaster."

"Is... is it true?" Natsume Takashi sniffed and looked at him with some puzzlement.

"En." Linghua showed a positive expression, and then smiled as if he was remembering something.

"Then... Kushi-kun, what is your current state...?" Takashi Natsume asked a little puzzled.

"Ah, this." Linghua laughed, and he raised his hand, "I'm a ghost."

Natsume Takashi watched the sunlight shine on the dining table through his raised arms, and was once again sluggish.
