The reason why Nanako called Xia Youjie for help in the early morning was really helpless.

They and Natsume Takashi made an appointment when they parted yesterday, and they will come out to practice (wan) practice (shua) on Sunday.The three junior high school students are still in the tentative stage of just getting to know each other. Whether it is the twins or Natsume, it is the first time that they have made friends of the same age who can see things that ordinary people cannot see. They are also full of curiosity and caution about each other.

But this kind of cautiousness has disappeared after the end of the day. The main reason is that Natsume Takashi is such a kind person, a great kind person!

"Uh, it's actually not that good? You're really exaggerating!" Facing Mimiko's straightforward praise, the 14-year-old boy blushed and waved his hands repeatedly.

Nanako patted him on the shoulder, watching Natsume bend slightly to facilitate her movements.The height difference between the two of them is actually not that big, but if you want to take a picture of his shoulder, you still have to raise your arm.

Her eyes flickered, and she smiled: "Mimiko will say what she says, and don't refute girls casually, this is social etiquette."

How can there be such etiquette?

But the good-tempered boy still nodded: "I know, but I didn't do anything. It's too exaggerated to be called a good man."

He really felt that he hadn't done any particularly kind actions, but with the twins' sensitivity to human emotions, in their eyes, this young man who had been regarded as a different kind for a long time, expressed tenderness, consideration, and understanding in every move. Even if he was a little passive and silent at times, it couldn't hide the warmth in his eyes.

"Those who exclude you without knowing anything are the biggest fools in the world." Mimiko couldn't help but say.

Being able to become friends with Natsume is definitely a happy thing. Even though it was just curiosity about people with special powers at the beginning, but in just over a day, the two troubled girls were completely recognized and he became friends.

It was supposed to be a good practice, but in the end, they were dragged by them to play wildly for a day and they were good-tempered to accompany them. They would think of the two of them first when encountering anything, but Natsume did not let them mess around without principles. If Nanako and Mimiko wanted to If he wants to do something dangerous, or make excessive demands, he will seriously refuse. Generally speaking, he is a person who is easy to get along with and has principles.

So when Nanako proposed to explore the nearby haunted house after dinner, Natsume also sternly refused.

"No, it will be dangerous at night. If you want to go, we will go there during the daytime next week."

"We have been there before, and the house only changes at night, and there is nothing during the day." Nanako argued.

Mimiko also nodded: "That's right, we invited you to join us because we have been there without any danger. There should be no monsters without curses, but there will be strange running noises at night, isn't it interesting?"

Natsume still has some doubts: "Won't your adults worry about going out at night?"

It doesn't matter to him. Although the Fujita family who is staying now has no prejudice against him, they don't care too much. Even if he doesn't return at night occasionally, I'm afraid he just asks and doesn't care what he does.In fact, it is already a good attitude to go through many host families, and Natsume is very grateful that they are willing to take her in.

Seeing that his attitude was relaxed, Nanako hurriedly said, "Lord Xia You won't live with us, and he's going out tonight, so the others can't control us."

"Then you have to discuss it with your family members. If you have any questions, you should go back quickly, and you can play until nine o'clock in the evening at the latest. You are not allowed to stay out late." Natsume hesitated for a long time, but agreed.At least one more person has more strength. If he doesn't agree and the two girls run over to play by themselves and something happens, he will definitely regret it.

no matter what...

He squeezed the Inari god guard that Xia Youjie gave him in his pocket, even if he encountered a monster, he would let Nanako and Mimiko go back safely.

Everything went well, the three of them walked around the yard, and indeed found no non-human aura.Natsume breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you still want to go in? It feels like an ordinary abandoned house."

"Of course, it is said that the sound of running is from the ceiling on the second floor!" Mimiko whispered, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Neither of them felt the curse, so what is this strange sound?All kinds of weird ideas began to appear in her mind.

"I think... maybe it's just mice or stray cats that come out at night." Looking at the excited expressions of the twins, Natsume couldn't help but pour cold water on them.It's neither a monster nor a curse, so it's just the most common animal?

Nanako glanced at him depressingly: "Oh, you really are, adventure is to have a tense and exciting atmosphere. If you just say it's just a mouse and a stray cat, it won't be interesting."

"Eh? Is that so?" Natsume scratched his cheek unexpectedly, "I don't have any experience in exploring with friends... sorry."

Normally, if he was still outside at this time, he must be chased by monsters and couldn't go home. How could he be free to visit the haunted house at night.Moreover, he has seen too many real monsters, and he has no interest in this kind of activity. In the past, he never participated in the summer courage test organized by his classmates.

"Forgive you." Mimiko patted Natsume's back in an old-fashioned way, and pushed him towards the broken window. "Let's go in here. There are tables inside to step on. Be careful of broken glass."

It can be seen that they have really come several times.

Natsume twitched the corners of his mouth, slipped in cautiously, jumped off the table, and turned back to help his companion land safely.

The house was in a mess, the worn-out furniture was crooked and covered with thick dust, and there were two photo frames hanging crookedly on the wall. The photos in them had long been unclear, and only a vague look of a family of three could be seen. Spiders in the corner There are hunters lurking quietly on the Internet, and there is a mildew smell in the air.

As soon as they came in, they heard the sound of "dong dong dong" from upstairs, which sounded like someone running on the ceiling.

"Hush—" Nanako quietly pointed to the stairs, motioning for them to go up together.

squeak-

The wooden stairs have been broken and fragile under the ravages of time. Even though the three of them tried their best to walk lightly, they still made the sound of being overwhelmed.

The sound of "dong dong dong" still did not stop.

"It doesn't seem like a cat's movement." Mimiko said in a breathy voice.

Even though he didn't feel a monster, Natsume's heartbeat still accelerated a lot under this atmosphere, and he also replied in a breathy voice: "It feels like a child is running."

The scene on the second floor is similar to that on the first floor, just as desolate and desolate, but the strange thing is that there are small black footprints everywhere on the floor, walls, and even the ceiling, like five or six-year-old children running on it Same as running.

"Hiss—" Nanako took a breath and exclaimed softly, "We didn't have these when we came last time!"

"Are there really no monsters?" Mimiko grabbed the corner of her sister's clothes, her voice trembling.

Natsume Takashi was also startled, he instinctively stood in front of him, took out the Omoru from his pocket and stuffed it into Nanako's hand, and looked at the empty room vigilantly: "I didn't feel a monster, but I also said indefinite."

If the other party happens to be good at hiding aura, or the strength is too strong, it is normal for him not to feel it.

"Hee hee hee"

"Sister Reiko? You finally came to play with me~"

A small figure appeared beside Natsume Takashi, his body was shrouded in a cold blue-green light, which looked like a will-o'-the-wisp.

"Xiaohui has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Wow! It's here!" Mimiko waved her hand, and a hemp rope as thick as a thumb shot straight at it.

But it was useless, the little girl in black kimono didn't move, the hemp rope condensed by the mantra shattered and disappeared the moment it touched her.

"Who are you? I'm so annoying." The little monster girl glanced at Mimiko who was posing aggressively, then raised her head and asked Natsume, "Is it because of her that sister Reiko didn't come to play with me?"

"That, that, I'm a boy, and I'm not called Reiko..." Natsume Takashi said awkwardly, while trying to pull out the cuffs that were being grabbed, "Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Sister Lingzi wants to lie to me again? Xiaohui won't be fooled again!"

She pulled Natsume stubbornly: "You obviously promised to take me out to play when I was discharged from the hospital. I have been waiting for a long time, why didn't you come?"

"Because you are already dead, a dead person looks like a dead person, don't hold on to others!" Nanako pointed her phone at her and threatened, "Let go, or I will be impolite!"

"Eh? There's actually another person here." The little monster who called himself Xiaohui looked at Nanako who suddenly appeared in his field of vision in surprise, "Why didn't I see you just now?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway."

The little monster is also fickle like a cat. Things that were very interesting one second can be discarded like shoes the next second. Xiaohui refocused on Natsume: "Let's go out and play, Sister Reiko~"

A few will-o'-the-wisps floating around her entangled the twins, and a strong wind suddenly blew up in the room. With the crash of various objects colliding with each other and the crisp sound of glass breaking, the figures of Xiaohui and Natsume Takashi disappeared at the same time.

Because Xiaohui didn't give herself a sense of danger, and she looked stubborn and pitiful, Natsume wasn't overly vigilant like the twins.I thought that since I can communicate, why not have a good chat, maybe I can help her find the person she really wants to find, but I didn't expect that the child who turned into a monster is so mobile, and he was taken away without checking for a while.

"Cough cough, Natsume!" Finally the wind stopped, Nanako coughed due to the dust raised up, tried to open her eyes but saw that the black footprints that were everywhere in the room disappeared, as if they had never appeared before .

Mimiko grabbed the hemp rope in her hand and said anxiously: "What to do, Natsume has been taken away."

"It's impossible for them to run too far. Let's look around first. If it doesn't work, we will go to Master Xia You to save them."

Nanako turned on the phone. Just now she pressed the shutter in a panic, leaving images of Natsume and the monster. Although she doesn't know how it will affect the monster, she can try to influence the other party's state through spells, so as to ensure that Natsume Guizhi's safety, as long as they are still within the range of the spell.
