【Here...where is it...】

Natsume opened his eyes, but couldn't see anything.Surrounded by terrifying silence and darkness, there was no light at all.

He opened his mouth and tried to speak, but no sound came out.

He was wrapped in bottomless darkness, as if everything would be swallowed by this darkness.

Natsume panicked for no reason, he began to struggle, trying to escape from this darkness.He always felt that if he stayed in this darkness any longer, something terrible would happen.

But at the beginning of the struggle, it seemed that something was restraining him, pressing him down, making him almost unable to move.Natsume felt as if he was soaked in some kind of liquid.This liquid is viscous, and the faint sound of water can be heard when the liquid is stirred.

But this kind of water sound doesn't give people any charming reverie, on the contrary, it makes people feel more horrible, uncomfortable, more like fleeing from this ghost place.

This liquid is not only viscous, but also icy cold.It's not the cold feeling of ice water that only stays on the skin. The terrifying chill seems to invade the heart and freeze the human soul.It also seemed to be soaked in endless malice.Jealousy, madness, greed, despair... Countless negative emotions kept drilling into my mind, and I seemed to be able to hear other people's whispers, but when I listened carefully, there was still silence.The feeling that there are countless people talking bad things behind their backs is almost driving people crazy.

Although Natsume didn't know what was going on, he could feel that if he didn't go out from here again, he would definitely be affected by this emotion.But he didn't know why he came here, let alone how to leave.I kept struggling, but felt that I was being squeezed more and more hard, and I was almost out of breath.

【Who can help me……】

"Huh? What's going on?"

Suddenly Natsume heard someone's voice.Although it was very vague, as if it was coming out from under the quilt, it was hard to hear what was being said, but for an environment without any sound, the sound could be said to be amplified countless times.

"How about the experimental subject...could it be...solution..."

That person seemed to say something again, Natsume tried very hard to hear clearly, but it was useless, he could barely hear a few words, and couldn't form a complete sentence at all.

Natsume thought the voice was a bit familiar, but now he had no other thoughts to think about where he heard the voice. Just resisting the maliciousness had already made Natsume exhausted, let alone think about it.

What's more, Natsume felt that he might not be able to hold on anymore.His consciousness has become more and more blurred, almost unable to resist the maliciousness like raging waves...

"Natsume! Natsume!!"

【Who is calling me...】

"Wake up! Natsume!"

Opening his eyes suddenly again, Natsume didn't see the endless darkness in front of him, but the ceiling that he said was neither strange nor unfamiliar, nor familiar.

Natsume turned her head, and saw that Mr. Cat had changed back to his original form, staring at him without blinking.

"Teacher, you are..."

Natsume was a little unbelievable, did he just see worry in the eyes of the cat teacher?

Natsume's voice is still trembling now, and he hasn't recovered from the horrible negative emotions for the time being.Taking a deep breath, Natsume raised his hand to cover his face, and the voice came from under his palm, muffled.

"Teacher... what happened just now..."

Teacher Cat didn't let the man finish speaking, and turned back into the appearance of a beckoning cat. His fleshy paw pushed Natsume's hand away, and put the paw gently on Natsume's mouth, preventing the other party from speaking.

"Natsume, you're having a nightmare. Don't worry, go back to sleep."

Teacher Cat paused for a while, and then added: "I'm right here."

Watching Natsume fall asleep again, Mr. Cat is still staring at Natsume, the crescent-like eyes of the beckoning cat can't show any emotion, but Mr. Cat clearly knows that his mood is not calm.

Teacher Cat remembered that he was sleeping soundly at first, but suddenly a sense of panic woke him up, and then he saw Natsume next to him with a painful face, whimpering, waving his hands and feet wildly, as if he was struggling.

Teacher Cat is sure that Natsume has accidentally entered someone's nightmare again.

Teacher Cat found that Natsume's physique was very strange, and he could always enter the dreams of people or demons related to him recently, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

But this time is different, Mr. Cat originally wanted to wait for Natsume to wake up naturally, but found that Natsume's breath was getting weaker and weaker.Teacher Cat suddenly panicked. He thought that some monster took the opportunity to harm Natsume, and immediately changed back to the original, but it was useless.

Finally, Natsume finally woke up.Teacher Cat didn't know if Natsume would really leave like this if she hadn't woken up.

Although Natsume fell asleep again, her brows were slightly furrowed.Teacher Cat sighed, and gently lay down next to Natsume's pillow, closed his eyes, and tensed his body, protecting Natsume at all times.

Teacher Cat is a little confused, shouldn't he be looking forward to Natsume's death and then he can get the account of friends in a legitimate way?Why……

"Long time no see, Catwoman."

"Long time no see, April [-]st!" Catwoman lay on April [-]st's lap, enjoying the action of stroking the cat on April [-]st, purring comfortably.

"So, is there anything you want to tell me this time?"

"Yeah." Catwoman twisted her neck, signaling April [-]st not to stop the movement of her hands just because of her words.

"April [-], do you know that the ghosts are restless recently?"

Catwoman straightened up and squatted in front of April [-] with a serious tone.

"Hundred ghosts are restless?" April [-]st was startled.It's no fun to be restless with ghosts, unless something big happens, just like the time when Yuzao burned Ping'an capital before, the ghosts were also restless.

So the reason for the restlessness of the ghosts this time?

On April [-]st, he suddenly thought of the attack on Conan and Natsume last time, his pupils shrank slightly, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"It seems that you have some clues." Catwoman stared straight at April [-]st, her pupils flickered with green light.

"Although there is a point, I'm not really sure."

"Really..." Catwoman got up, and jumped onto the eaves of the wall lightly and deftly, "Then I won't ask you for this news. If there is any movement, please let me know immediately!"

Catwoman jumped forward, grabbed a goldfish, happily put it in her mouth, turned her head and smiled at April Yi, "That's the price I gave you for telling you this news."

After speaking, he left.

April [-] smiled helplessly, but there was still a trace of sadness between his brows.Although the broken monogram gave him information, it did not mean that he faced the person directly.From the beginning to the end, Conan only saw the man in the safari suit who hid his face in the darkness.

Wearing hunting clothes, is it an Onmyoji?But now onmyojis have long since declined, and even demon extermination masters are only acting in secret in this age of weak evil spirits. If he is an onmyoji, where did he learn the art of onmyoji?Onmyoji and exorcism are two completely different systems.

In addition, Natsume's classmate from before... April [-]st rubbed his eyebrows, although the child could no longer see monsters, but...

And obviously, besides Catwoman, there are people looking for April [-]st.

"I didn't expect you to come back."

Holding a teacup on April [-]st, she smiled at Natori Monday across from her.

"Ah, I'm sorry to trouble you again." Natori Monday scratched his head, showing a smile that would definitely captivate thousands of girls.

"But I'm here to ask you to take a look at my shikigami. They don't know what's wrong with them recently, they're all very irritable."

"Really..." Putting down the teacup on April [-]st, looking at the shikigami who appeared beside Natori Monday, he could feel the obvious irritability from them, but it was because Natori Monday was forcibly suppressing it.

"I'm sorry, but I can't solve this problem for the time being." April [-]st shook his head, "However, what do you think is the reason for the restless night of ghosts?"

"Hundred ghosts restless..." Natori repeated in a low voice on Monday, "Thank you for your reminder, I will take my leave now."

If it's what he thinks, it's a big deal.

"Then, as a price—" April [-] got up to see off the guests, "please help me find the existing Onmyoji family, or the descendant of the onmyoji family that has declined."

However, this matter is far from over.

Not long after Natori left on Monday, Teacher Cat came and brought a shocking news, which directly caused Natsume to be stared at very seriously by April [-]st when she came to the store after school.

April [-]st realized a very serious problem, Natsume is a bit like him, but not the same as him.Natsume can't move freely in other people's dreams, and even almost died in the last dream, which is really not ordinary scary.

But other than that, what caught April [-]st the most was the thick liquid that Natsume mentioned.Just listening to Natsume's description, April [-]st really can't guess what it is, but anyone with a brain can know that it is definitely not a fun thing.

"So, Natsume." April [-]st asked slowly, "Is that voice the same as that of the person who attacked you before?"

April [-]st is a blind guess, but judging from the current situation, this is also the most likely scenario.

After the reminder on April [-]st, Natsume was horrified to find that the voice... seemed to be exactly the same?Suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Natsume, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you, but I hope you can temporarily live in the store. With the store's enchantment, at least you won't fall into nightmares again. Even if the situation is dealt with, I can bring you back quickly."

"If you can, bring that kid Conan here too. He's even more unprepared for this kind of thing, and the situation is even more dangerous."

Rubbing his forehead on April [-]st, "Really, why are there so many things, I will be really busy in the future."

Natsume, who didn't interrupt the whole process: What's the matter, why was I suddenly determined to go?
