Mr. Natsume's special mantra

In the long river of my life, one half is a monster, one quarter is a human being, and the remaining quarter is me. ——Takashi Natsume

"That thing should be a curse spirit. These children are cursed."

Before Gu Huo finished speaking, Fu Heihui had already made a judgment.

Among these four, no one can understand the form and characteristics of the curse better than him.

For Tsu Meiki who was cursed back then, Fu Heihui searched all kinds of information, met all kinds of curse masters who are proficient in curses, and even dragged Gojo Satoru to meet the curse masters in private.

There are many kinds of curses, some make people obsessed, some make people die gradually, and some make people fall into nightmares all day and all night.

It affects life in mild cases, and endangers life in severe cases.

This is the curse.

Now, a large piece of filth is covering the children's bodies, and it is even gradually eroding their bodies.

Fu Heihui stood there quietly, and calmly declared: "If the source of the curse cannot be found, these children will die in a while."

"That's it." Gu Huo had an expected look on his face.

The monster has its own set of diagnostic methods. She has long felt that the children's anger is gradually disappearing, but she can't find the reason.

It turned out to be a curse.

For monsters, this is not an unfamiliar word.

No matter how weak the monster is, it has the innate skill of cursing.

It's just that human beings usually call the curses that can bring benefits blessings, and the curses that bring harm are the curses they consider in their hearts.

However, there is no such trouble.

Regardless of good or bad, in the innate cognition of monsters, they are all curses.

Beauty in one person's eyes is not necessarily happiness in another's eyes.

for example--

longevity.

And the fastest way to solve the curse is to solve the thing that cast the curse.

Gu Huo clenched the weapon in his hand, put on the sharp bird feathers again, and strode out.

"Guhuo!" Natsume Takashi stopped her, "Let's go together."

They came here to get rid of the curse spirits lurking here.

This is their mission!

Gu Huo turned around, his black inorganic eyes swept over the four of them, and finally shook his head silently.

"You know the location of the curse spirit, otherwise you wouldn't have such a clear goal." Nagasaki Wild Rose said: "You already knew why they became like this, and you came here just to strengthen your belief."

Facing the eyes of the four who were still cubs in her eyes, Gu Huo nodded slowly.

Nagasaki Wild Rose frowned: "You didn't tell us the real truth from the very beginning. It is impossible for these children to be inexplicably infected with the curse, and it is under your nose."

Under the complicated eyes of Natsume Takashi and Katsuobu Yuhito, Fukuroi went on to say: "You are very strong. If Natsume hadn't arrived in time just now, none of the three of us would be your opponent. But you are so strong. Cursing multiple children, unless... you allow it."

"Or, before they were infected with the curse, you allowed them to contact the source of the curse."

Natsume Takashi looked at her: "Is that so?"

He wanted to hear her own confession.

Even if there are many clues pointing to her, as long as she objects, the boy is willing to believe her for no reason.

but……

Gu Huo nodded.

"You are right, the facts are not much different from your guesses."

Her voice was still gentle, full of guilt.

"It is my connivance that things have developed into what they are now, and of course it is up to me to end it now."

Natsume Takashi tightly hugged Mr. Cat's arm, looked behind Guhuo, and said, "Is it that monster named Yingxiang?"

Gu Huo nodded, then shook his head again.

"What do you mean?" he asked impatiently.

Except for the sealed baby that he just saw, he didn't perceive any other aura that didn't belong to humans.

It could only be a baby.

But what does it mean to be both negative and positive?

The silent girl walked up to Natsume Takashi, rubbed his brown hair full of human warmth, and replied: "Yingxiang is actually two monsters. When I picked them up, although the breath on them was very different, They are the same, but they look the same, and staying together, I thought..." "In this land of abandoned babies, a pair of rare twin monsters were born."

"Twin monsters are extremely rare, and they are extremely easy to die, but the fragility of childhood comes with the strength of adulthood. Twin monsters communicate with each other, and in battle, they can exert the power of one plus one greater than two."

"I thought..."

"So I took them."

Knotabagi Yuhito: "Aren't they twin monsters?"

"No." Gu Huo shook his head, "They are, but one of them died long ago, and his body was taken over by the curse spirit you mentioned."

"I should have found out."

Looking at the weakly breathing child lying on the bed, Gu Huo said guiltily.

"Yingxiang was the first monster I decided to bring with me after I came to this world. For their growth, I stayed in this land that gave birth to him."

"I should have found out a long time ago, but I don't want to believe it."

"The cub period of a monster is related to the bloodline. The stronger the bloodline, the longer the cub life, but the twin monsters are different. Although they are very easy to die when they are young, they don't maintain the cub form for a long time."

"They should have grown up long ago, if the other half of that child hadn't been taken over by the curse spirit."

"Twins, twins, as long as one dies, the other will perish. This is the law."

"Now, because the body of one of them was occupied by the curse spirit, the vitality of the body was temporarily maintained, so the other one did not die so quickly." Natsume Takashi continued.

"Yes." Gu Huo nodded and continued, "But this is not a reason to clear up my punishment."

Nagasaki Wild Rose: "Then how did these children get the curse, can you tell me?"

"Because Yingxiang wants to come out to play." Gu Huo replied.

Fu Heihui: "They are sealed."

Being sealed in that big wooden box, it is impossible for children to get in touch with them.

The girl smiled sadly: "So I asked the dream-eating tapir to link their dreams together."

"In the dreams of these children, the babies look like normal children, but in the babies, the children look like monsters."

"And just after this incident, the children appeared blue and unconscious one after another."

"So you were responsible for the child's disappearance?" Knotabagi Yuhito also lowered his voice.

"Yes." Gu Huo didn't make any excuses.

It is a fact that no matter what her purpose is, benevolent or malicious, she is the culprit of all this.

It's like the shadow that once caused Natsume Takashi's childhood.

After hearing all this, they fell into silence.

After a long time, Natsume Takashi lowered his eyes and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't finished?"

For example...

Her body that was about to escape.

Even if he didn't feel it at first, when Gu Huo handed him the paper, he established a connection with her that no one else could see.

Even though Gu Huo is still powerful, it cannot change the fact that she is about to dissipate.

She is now, just like Hatsune Sakura, holding on to her obsession to stay in this world.

"Did you... do you do any extra things?"

The brown-haired boy asked a little.

"No." Gu Huo pretended to be charming, "I didn't do anything except this matter."

lie!

Natsume Takashi only left this feeling in his heart.

The guy in front of him is weaving a lie that even he doesn't believe.

After finishing speaking, Gu Huo quickly went to the place where the baby's face was sealed, and split the wooden box with the baby's face sealed with a sword.

Thick black air like thick smoke escaped from the box.

A huge monster like a puddle of flesh slipped out.

Fu Heihui's pupils locked, "A quasi-superior curse spirit!"

A curse spirit born with an incomplete domain, but it is not something that their current strength can match.

Gu Huo looked at the curse spirit in front of him, and the wings holding the sword trembled slightly, "You bastard...damn..."

The baby image was completely obliterated, and all this time, the only one staying in this sealed box was this ugly curse spirit.

"He...he..."

The curse spirit made an unpleasant sound like a fan, as if mocking Gu Huo's innocence.

Mistaking the curse spirit for his own child.

But unexpectedly, Gu Huo smiled, and stabbed himself in the heart with a sword.

Natsume Takashi opened his eyes wide, wanting to shout.

In my ear... what came was the howling of pain belonging to the curse spirit.
