[Go Soul Natsume's Book of Friends] Guang Xia

six times

The sixth game of Hikaru VS Kurata is a veritable fast game.This dance on the tip of the knife seems to have no warning, but Liang has an intuition that the reason for playing rapid chess is not because of anything else, but because of impatience.The dialogue between Yuriko and Ogata also confirmed this point.

It's sai.Light is in a hurry to meet Sai.

Sure enough, when Guang narrowly won with a half-eyed, there was no scene of two people saluting on the screen.Looking back, Yuriko, who was discussing the chess game with Kazuya and Ikaku a moment ago, disappeared at this moment.

——sai, here it is now!

Liang suddenly realized this.He stood up abruptly, with such force that he overturned the chair.The sound of heartbeats filled his ears, Liang ran downstairs, and saw the two embracing in the snow through the glass door.The one with his back to him is obviously the light, and the other one must be——

"Sai." Ogata whispered, and pushed open the gate of the chess academy beside him.The fine snow broke in with the sound of the wind, Liang was about to ask what happened, at this moment, the phone rang.Looking at the screen, it was Natori Monday.

Strange, Natori knew he was at the Kiin, and usually wouldn't call during the day.He picked it up, but the other party was a female voice: "Hello, is this Mr. Natori's cousin, Taya-kun?"

Liang was quite surprised: "I am." His heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong with cousin?"

"The matter is urgent. Mr. Natori was seriously injured and was treated at Aixintang Hospital."

"What?!" Liang was shocked.

"The person has awakened, and his life is not in danger. It's just that some things need the assistance of relatives—"

Things were also prioritized, and Liang called a taxi without hesitation.Ryo is Natori's only relative in Tokyo.Since childhood, Natori has always been the one who supported him the most. Now, of course, Ryo cannot ignore it.

The moment he boarded the taxi, Guang seemed to glance at him.Big amber eyes, with a clear enthusiasm, but also a trace of embarrassing guilt.Like the kid who did something wrong and finally got paid back, only too shy to explain.

Would you like to tell me?Liang thought in his heart, his eyes staring at the deep black background.

Will you tell me the truth when I come back?

<<

Ryo thought about Hikari and Sai as he walked into the hospital.Before entering Natori's ward, he heard an exasperated roar.Even though he was weak, he could hear Natori's fury: "Let it slip away!" "So what if I passed out?!" "You shouldn't bother me!" "Don't you know the rules of Tokyo?!" "It will be more troublesome to chase after him!" "What if Xiao Liang is involved?!"

At this moment, time seemed to flow backwards, and Liang's heart skipped a beat.He thought of himself when he was a child, and he also heard Natori's voice behind the door—open the door, will it be snow-white again?Had he stumbled upon some great secret?

However, Ryo thought of Hikari at the same moment.For a moment, I felt that the light that looked back that afternoon was somewhat similar to Natori's eyes at that time.

"Taya, I'm just a phantom you're chasing!" Guang's voice still rings in his ears.

"That child is not what you imagined." Natori's persuasion also came to mind.

Liang's outstretched hand paused in mid-air.Facing the door in front of him, he was actually at a loss, and also somewhat inexplicably afraid.But in the end, he still tapped: "Cousin Natori, it's me."

There was an instant silence at the door.Natori's voice turned into the usual relaxed voice, but hoarse than usual: "Xiao Liang, wait for me for a while."

Liang stood there, facing complicated thoughts alone.Half a minute later, Natori said, "Come in."

Liang pushed open the door.There were no snow-white paper dolls all over the floor, and Natori was lying alone on the bed with a shocking bandage on his abdomen.

"How did you get hurt?" Liang immediately asked.

Natori had an indifferent expression: "I fell down during filming and hit something sharp. The hospital made a big fuss and called you here. Did it bother you?"

Fall off during filming?Then there should be people from the agent and crew accompanying him?Natori is a star, even if he deliberately pretended to be, if it was really an injury during filming, how could there be no one in the ward?

"I should come." Ryo said softly, "Cousin Natori, why didn't you tell me you came to Tokyo to film?"

"I'm afraid it will affect your chess game." Natori said naturally.Liang felt helpless. After suffering such a serious injury, he only cared about influencing him to play chess?

Ryo turned sideways, poured a glass of water for Natori, and swallowed back the doubt of "who were you talking to just now".

"How about Shindo's Tianyuan Sixth Game?" Natori took the water glass.

"Shinto won half a eye." Ryo replied obediently, and then, he said softly, "I... saw Sai."

The water glass was poured from Natori's hand.The water was flowing on the floor, and the surprise on Natori's face was ready to be seen.Ryo felt that Natori's shoulder was tightly grasped, and it was painfully pinched by him.

"What did you say?! sai?!" Natori's unbelievable expression made Ryo feel confused, "Did you see him? What does he look like?"

"A man with Gao Guanbo...is very beautiful, like a fairy." Liang recalled.Such an astonishing beauty, as if it does not belong to the world, Liang has never seen in his life.

"It's really sai..." Natori fell on the back of the bed in a state of contemplation, his back slowly relaxed, and suddenly remembered something, and blurted out, "Why can you see it?"

"Huh?" Liang asked in surprise.What is "Why Can You See?"

Oops!Only then did Natori realize that he had made a slip of the tongue.Seeing some probing expressions in Ryo's gentle eyes, Natori felt the muscles on his body tighten little by little, and the lizard monster crawled in his skin.He couldn't let Liang discover his identity as a demon extermination, absolutely not!

"I said, Shindo has been keeping Sai's secret," Natori said quickly, "No one has seen Sai before, not even your father, has it?"

"Yes." Ryo stared at Natori with burning eyes, "But Cousin Natori, how would you know? If I remember correctly, you and Shinto met for the first time this summer."

Before Ming could answer, suddenly, the glass window behind Liang shattered out of thin air.Before Ryo could react, Natori bounced off the bed and held Ryo behind him.As the wind whizzed by, a bloodstain suddenly appeared on his arm!

Natori was injured out of thin air!Liang could see clearly, and his blue eyes were rounded.

I saw Natori took out a stack of paper dolls from his arms and threw them to the sky in front of him, thinking something in a low voice.Those snow-white paper figurines were burning, emitting flames, and burst in mid-air.

Those dolls all over the ground in childhood... the paper dolls that make paper pinwheels, really have some secrets!

"You actually chased after Tokyo, looking for death." Natori cursed in a low voice, what a coincidence today, he encountered a very strong monster during the entrusted task in Kamakura, and he was seriously injured.Now, come to Tokyo!However, since he came to Tokyo, it was time to die.The paper dolls were thrown down in front, and the three shikigami of Natori shot together, not just them, a few monsters wearing white masks appeared out of the air, apparently the demon extermination shikigami who guarded the city day and night were suddenly dispatched.In the blink of an eye, the monster died in the pincer attack.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, those shikigami youkai with white masks bowed to Natori and disappeared.

"Master, are you okay!" Gua Ji spoke out first.

Natori shook his head, suddenly realized that Ryo was staring at the bloodstain on his arm, and quickly covered it with his other hand.Damn it, he almost hurt Xiao Liang!He gritted his teeth and thought.What excuse should he find to prevaricate?Can he hide it from Xiao Liang?

Liang looked at the glass that had just shattered.The glass shattered suddenly, and it all fell on the floor of the ward. It was obvious that something had knocked it hard from the outside.But he just clearly didn't see anything!The shards of glass missed Natori, but Natori got hurt!

He couldn't see some things... But, he broke in and hurt Natori!But Natori could see it, and pulled himself behind him first!

Liang recalled the past, and the voice he heard outside the door just now.Natori was obviously talking to something, although there was no one there when he opened the door... It wasn't that there was no one behind the door, but there was, but he couldn't see it!Just like just now, he couldn't see what broke the glass and hurt Natori!And those paper dolls were not given to him as paper pinwheels at all!

Just an excuse... an excuse to hide the truth.

Outside the window, the first snow fell, as if it had fallen into Liang's heart, and his chest became cold little by little.

It seems that there is a hidden thread that connects many details—details that I have pondered countless times, or that I have overlooked.

The kid who couldn't even hold the chess pieces firmly, played a chess game with advanced chess skills for the first time against others...

Looking down on him from a high place, that invisible wall...

Sai, who hides behind the computer and never shows up to people...

"You're chasing only phantoms..."

"It's not what you think it is..."

"Maybe, one day I will tell you..."

"Shinto-kun told me that the reason you care about him is largely because of another figure...

"He is very afraid that one day, you will tell him that what you care about is never the real him..."

"No one is willing to depend on another person to exist..."

All the fragments, like smoke, finally gradually condensed into the sentence that Natori just said: "Why can you see?"

——The meaning of this sentence, could it be that he couldn't see it before? !

Liang lowered his head, clutching his forehead in pain.Is he crazy, or is the world crazy?How can this be? !

But if not, how do you explain the shattered glass, Natori's out-of-the-box injuries?

How to explain the two games of chess when I first met Shinto? !

if not like this! !

"Xiaoliang, Xiaoliang..." Natori's voice seemed to come from a very far away place.

Natori looked at Ryo anxiously.There was a strange expression on Liang's face, and he slowly narrowed his narrow and beautiful green eyes.Natori had seen the terrifying Xiaoliang on the chessboard, but that was more of confidence and strength.But now, he didn't have a trace of anger, like a lion that suddenly woke up from a deep sleep, calm and dangerous.

This kid is so smart!

Natori suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation.He said in a low voice: "Xiao Liang, you can ask me questions, but you need to calm down first."

"I'm very calm now." Ryo said indifferently, "Cousin Natori, did your injury really come from the fall during filming? Or that thing that broke the glass just now? I can't see it?"

Natori closed her eyes and took out a cigarette case and lighter from her pocket.He smoked and exhaled circles of smoke.Liang never said a word.Thick smoke surrounded Natori, like a wall of isolated siege.

"Xiao Liang, there are some truths that you don't need to know." Natori's voice came slowly from inside, as if it was about to drift away, "I just want to protect you. I hope you understand."

"If I don't know the truth, how can I understand?" Liang whispered, like a raving in a dream, as if asking for a name, or asking a young man in a distant time and space, "Or do you not believe that I will believe you? If you don't even give me this little trust, how can you expect me to understand?"

Natori was overwhelmed by a series of questions.For the first time in his life, he felt unable to face a person's questioning.Perhaps it was because the black and white in the young man's eyes were too clear and frank, and his hands were already stained with too much blood.

"Xiao Liang, everyone has secrets. I am no exception." Natori said distractedly, "It was my fault that you accidentally found out just now. I apologize. I was not careful enough. I promise this secret will never would have any effect on your life-"

"Natori Monday, you are my brother!" Ryo stood up abruptly, irritated by his words, "You are hurt like this! You were almost attacked by something just now! You think I only care about me Has it affected my life?! Is that how you look at me?! From childhood to adulthood?!"

In fact, Liang couldn't tell who he was angry with.He admits that he is very manipulative, like a lion who instinctively wants to control everything around him.Liang hates the feeling of touching the corners and corners of the truth but still being confused. He hates it very much, especially the people he cares about from the bottom of his heart.

Natori's evasion even gave Ryo a sense of slander, although Ryo knew that it was really out of protection rather than deliberately concealing it—but, why did he think he wouldn't understand?He had already witnessed such an incredible scene, what could be more absurd than what happened just now?

Natori suddenly went dumb.The angry Xiao Liang was really scary, he quickly argued: "Xiao Liang, I...of course I am not..."

"But you give me this feeling." Liang sat down and picked up the remaining bandages on the bedside table, "Yes, I can't look at you like an opponent, but it doesn't mean I don't care about you. Because you are my brother, That's it. I want to know everything about you, everything."

It turns out that the taste of honesty is like this, like a sour plum in the mouth.Ryo suddenly sighed, took Natori's arm, and bandaged it silently.

Natori felt extremely helpless and distressed.He even heard pleading in Liang's voice.Just like every night when I was a child, Liang won chess, but was afraid that he would never look for me again, that kind of bright and timid eyes.

"Okay, I'll just talk about me," Natori said flatly, "Other people's, I'm not qualified." He was referring to Hikari and Sakai, and of course, Natsume.

Liang looked at him and nodded.
