Mr. Natsume's special mantra

The calm of the night did not last.

By midnight.

A scream sounded across the mansion of the Nuragumi.

It was Qing's voice.

The girl in the room glanced, picked up the sharp knife next to it, and swept it outside.

Seeing a group of noisy little monsters surrounding the courtyard, Gu Huo put away his sword and walked in.

Looking at the little monster Qing standing beside Nuliang Huapiao, Gu Huo frowned and asked, "Nuliang, what happened?"

Nuliang Huapiao also frowned, "The land god has been corrupted by a curse."

"The gods..." Gu Huo's heart sank, "Isn't it a fallen god?"

"No." Nuliang Huapiao shook his head, "This is Qianyu, the land god near Nuliang's house."

"It turned out to be him." Gu Huo looked at the howling black figure trapped by the monster, his eyes became complicated.

Qianyu is a very ancient god. He was born of faith and helped mankind to save various diseases.

Gu Huo met him a few times during his travels.

He is a very gentle god.

It stands to reason that this kind of god born out of positive human emotions would not be eroded by the curse if he did not resign himself to depravity.

"Some time ago, when I saw him, he was normal."

Listening to Nuliang's slippery words, Gu Huo couldn't help murmuring: "Is this what you feel is bad? Nuliang."

"I don't know." Nuliang Huapiao also stared at the god surrounded by black air at his feet, closed his eyes, and ordered: "Let's start."

Things that have been eroded by the curse, whether they are humans or demons, even gods, cannot escape the fate of being exorcised. For thousands of years, no one has been spared.

"That... May I ask what is this place?" The weak boy's voice suddenly sounded from the execution ground, and Gu Huo looked back in surprise: "Natsume, are you awake?!"

"Natsume? Are you calling me?" The brown-haired boy leaned against the pillar on the corridor, covered his mouth with his right hand and coughed a few times, and looked at Gu Huo with a pale face: "Sorry, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things."

"It's okay, I'll remember it after a while." Gu Huo walked to the boy and put the feathers on his body: "Why did you come out suddenly? Your body needs a good rest now."

The boy nodded, shook his head again, grabbed a corner of the haori on his body, and said, "I feel something is happening outside, come out and take a look."

What's more, for some reason, I feel like there is something missing around me, and I feel inexplicably panicky staying alone in the room.

But after coming out, that feeling didn't disappear, on the contrary, it became more intense.

Natsume Takashi lowered his eyes and gently tugged on Haori, wrapping his wind-drenched body tighter, it seemed that he had lost something very important.

However, the boy blinked, looked at the densely packed little monsters, leaned towards Gu Huo who was still in human form with nervous eyes, and asked, "Are they..."

"Monster." Gu Huo replied, not coaxing him because of the boy's amnesia.

"Monster?" The boy repeated, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

So familiar.

But why is there both panic and joy in my heart.

He looked down at himself, then looked at Gu Huo who had the same figure as him and asked, "Then are we also monsters?"

"No." Gu Huo shook his head, rubbed the boy's head, and did not answer the boy's question.

The boy was also silent and did not speak. He looked up at the dark night above his head for a while, and asked, "What are they doing?"

"Nothing." Gu Huo said vaguely and perfunctorily.

The execution scene does not need to be seen by the young man in front of him.

But for some reason, the young man seemed to be very insistent on this matter. He stood upright by supporting the pillar next to him, stretched out his hand in front of Gu Huo, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, can you take me there to have a look?"

Gu Huo looked at the white and slender hands in front of him, sighed, and said, "Do you really want to go there?"

"Yeah." Natsume Takashi nodded.

It feels... There is something very important waiting for him.

There was no way, Gu Huo supported Natsume Takashi's now frail body, and walked to Nuliang Huapiao's side.

Seeing Qianyu wrapped in the black mist who was screaming in front of him, Natsume Takashi couldn't help frowning, just about to ask Gu Huo next to him to take him closer, but suddenly his voice was muted . "..."

Just now...it seems that he didn't ask the names of the people around him.

"you……"

As if seeing the embarrassment of the young man, Gu Huo buried his smile in his heart and said softly, "You can call me aunt."

aunt?

Hearing this address, Natsume Takashi glanced at her, suppressed the doubts that slipped from his lips, and said, "Auntie, can you take me inside to have a look?"

Gu Huo looked at him disapprovingly, but followed the boy's will and led him a little further.

Sure enough, that feeling became more obvious.

The impulse that burst out from the bottom of his heart and drove him to touch the black mist was inexplicable, but it was deeply rooted in his heart and lingered for a long time.

Natsume Takashi bit his pale lips, forced his body out of Guhuo's support, and leaned towards Qianyu under the eyes of all the monsters.

"Natsume!" At the moment the boy moved, Gu Huo quickly grabbed the boy's arm, "It's dangerous, we can't pass."

Some curses can attach to a person's body with a simple touch.

Even though Natsume's body does not belong to humans now, but...

The curse in front of him eroded all the pure gods.

Never come close.

"Guhuo is right." Nuliang Huapiao also walked to the boy's side: "He is very dangerous now."

Is it dangerous?

Natsume Takashi, who was imprisoned, looked at the land god who was wrapped in black mist and couldn't see his face clearly. In his brown eyes, the black mist gradually began to peel off and dissipate little by little, revealing the crying inside, belonging to Chiba's white soul.

But after a while, the scene of a cloud of black mist returned in front of his eyes.

The teenager pursed his lips.

Is it implying something?

He squatted down, his eyes lowered slightly, as if he was looking into the eyes of the white soul just now.

After a long time, the boy stretched out his hand when Gu Huo and Nu Liang Hua Piao couldn't react in time, and touched the black mist.

By the time Gu Huo realized it, the boy's fingertips had already touched the edge of the black mist.

"Natsume!" Gu Huo exclaimed.

The anthropomorphic state of the whole body is also faintly flawed because of the extreme panic.

Sharp wing feathers began to emerge from Gu Huo's arms, shining like metal.

Nuliang Huapiao's eyes also rarely revealed a trace of nervousness. He has always seen the importance that Gu Huo attaches to the boy, don't look at the relaxed look on Gu Huo's face when he couldn't find the boy in the early years , in fact, Gu Huo regards youth as more important than life.

In the eyes of Nuliang Huapiao, Gu Huo's obsession with the young man is also somewhat inconceivable.

Obviously only met once.

It can only be said that time is a terrible thing, it can constantly beautify the image of the person in the heart, and finally it is deeply imprinted in the heart like a curse, which cannot be removed.

Seeing Guhuo's furious look, Nuliang Huapiao stepped forward and patted Guhuo on the shoulder, motioning her to look.

I saw the soft and warm light emitting from the young man's fingertips, gradually dispelling the black mist on Qian Yu's body.

"This is..." Realizing that the boy was fine, Gu Huo gradually calmed down.

Nuliang Huapiao nodded: "I can feel it, Guhuo."

"Well, there is a strong vitality, no..." Gu Huo shook his head and said: "This is not vitality, it is a kind of power that warms up in the heart as long as you look at it."

"Very precious power." Nuliang Huapiao said.

Being able to disperse the erosion of the curse, is this the vitality given by the rules?

"Protect him well." Nuliang Huapiao said.

In the future, there should be many places that need the help of young people.

Gu Huo nodded: "You don't need to say I will, Nuliang, this is my child."

Her children should be sheltered under her wings.

The removal of the curse was not over yet, but the boy's face became paler and his breathing gradually became heavier.

The body that had just woken up could not withstand such wear and tear from him.

But he persisted.

Almost there.

Hold on a little longer.

He saw, that white soul is very beautiful.

"Natsume..." Gu Huo murmured, but respected the boy's insistence and did not continue to disturb him.

The moment the black mist dissipated, Natsume Takashi's lips curled up slightly when he saw the ancient god with a pair of small wings inside, and then he lost all his strength and fell into Gu Huo's arms.After waking up, Qian Yu looked at Gu Huo and the boy in her arms apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, but as the land god who cures diseases for human beings, I can't help him go faster."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Huo walked back with the boy in his arms: "When he was helping you, he probably didn't want to get anything in return."

It's just very simple, I want to save you.

Don't mind.

"That's it." Qian Yu looked at the figure who had passed the corner and disappeared, then turned to look at Nu Liang Hua Piao with a serious face: "I have something to tell you."

"It's just right, I also have some things that I need to communicate with you." Nuliang Huapiao replied.

"Is that so?" Nuliang Huapiao stood in the shadow of the light, rubbing his chin in thought.

"Yeah." Qian Yu floated in the air, her small figure exuding a white brilliance, "Until now, I can still recall the sense of fear that came from the bottom of my heart that day."

"Even though my divine power is almost non-existent due to the lack of faith, on that day, I could feel that the divine power seemed to have a soul. It was screaming and trembling, but it couldn't stop the erosion of the black mist."

Nuliang Huapiao: "Has the power of the curse spirit become so strong?"

Qian Yu shook his head: "I don't think so." His eyes widened: "This is not just the power of the curse spirit."

"If a kind of power is pushed to the extreme, then it will definitely be the moment of dying."

"Just like the monsters in the past, maybe an onmyoji will be added."

"And today's gods."

"How glorious it was once, how decayed it is now."

"You mean, do the rules want to suppress the curse spirit?" Nuliang Huapiao asked.

Qian Yu smiled: "No, I didn't say that."

It can only be said that the rules may have a mind of their own.

the next day.

In the courtyard of Nura House.

"Did you see it yesterday? That human is really amazing."

"Human?" Another little monster glanced at the monster who just spoke, and said, "Have you ever seen a human being who can remove the curse from a god?"

He said with a longing heart: "With such a powerful power, he must be a big monster who can perfectly blend into human beings and hide his aura."

"That's right!" A group of little monsters ate the little monster's Amway. "How can humans have such power, that Natsume-sama must be a great monster!"

"That's right! It's a monster!"

Listen, listen, even adults have called in advance.

At first, the little monster who said that Natsume Takashi was a human blushed and said, "Why must it be a monster! That adult said it may not be a god!"

The little monster who accidentally guessed the truth was not recognized by other little monsters.

"Impossible."

"That's right, if it is a god who can exorcise curses, it would have spread throughout the world of humans and monsters a long time ago!"

"That's right, if you are a god, you will definitely be able to gain a lot of beliefs, but that adult looks very weak."

The little monsters were chirping, and the little monster who had a different view from the other monsters emphasized loudly: "It may not be a new god!"

"It seems to be right." Some little monsters came to their senses.

"It seems to be so..."

"That's right." The little monster who said that the boy is a god raised his head high, and was about to wait for the compliments from his companions, when he saw the little friends around him walking towards the door in unison.

"It seems that there are guests again." As they walked, the little monsters discussed.

He was dumbfounded.

"Hey! You guys are going too far!"

The little monster who hastily followed him shouted angrily.

At the door, the little fox looked at the gate of the mansion in front of him with tangled eyes.

Natsume... Will it be in here?

However, last night, he clearly felt the breath belonging to Natsume.

feel a little scared.

There seem to be many powerful monsters inside...

He clenched his fist tightly, shook his chest up and down twice to cheer himself up, and then carefully knocked on the door of Nuliang's house.

"Excuse me, is anyone home?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little fox watched in horror as a group of little monsters rushed towards him.

"That..." He organized his words and said, "I didn't come here to fight."

"We know." One of the little monsters nodded at the little fox: "This is the head of the Nuliang group. Unless it's a monster who can't think about it, no fool will come to the head to make trouble."

"Is that so?" The little fox held his chest, let out a long breath, and took a deep breath, "Excuse me... is Natsume with you?"

"Natsume?" The little monster looked at him warily. "No, we haven't met."

Hearing this, the little fox said anxiously, "It's a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old with brown hair and eyes. Have you never seen him?"

"..." Hearing such a clear expression, the little monsters began to hesitate, it sounded like they really knew each other.

The little monster who said that Natsume was a god just now looked at him coldly: "Fox, do you know Master Natsume?"

"Yeah!" The little fox nodded eagerly, took off the hat on his head, and said, "I've been looking for Natsume for a long time, can you let me meet him?"

"thank you all!"

The little fox bowed down to this group of little monsters whose strength was not as strong as his.

Even after thousands of years of tempering, his character is still soft.

The little monsters looked at each other, and then whispered together in a group: "He looks very sincere."

"I think so."

"Actually, I too..."

"Come in." Nuliang Lusheng, who noticed the commotion of the little monsters, came out and pulled the little fox into the mansion of Nuliang's family.

"Sorry, they didn't mean it." Nuliang Lusheng said embarrassingly.

The little fox looked at the energetic young man in front of him and shook his head: "I'm not angry."

Then, he looked expectantly: "Is Natsume really here?"

"Ah... it is indeed there." Nuliang Lusheng looked at the little fox's expectation, and then continued with some reluctance: "However, there is something wrong with him now."

"Are you sick? Or..." The little fox seemed to think of something, tears began to gather in his eyes, "Could it be..."

Nuliang Lusheng waved his hands quickly, interrupting the little fox's thoughts of flying around: "No, no, it's not what you think, he lost his memory."

Thinking of his grandfather's entrustment to him this morning, Nuliang Lusheng said: "Maybe I don't remember you."

"So that's how it is." The little fox smiled through his tears. Although there was still sadness on his face, he was obviously relaxed.

Nuliang Rikusheng looked at him with some concern.

It is very difficult for a friend to lose his memory about himself.

Sensing Nuliang Rikusheng's gaze, the little fox smiled and explained: "Although it is indeed a bit uncomfortable, but memory is something that we can create together as long as we are alive."

Even if we lost the good time when we first met, but...

He can also create new memories of encounters with him.

"Is that so?" Nuliang Lusheng lowered his eyes.

Before he knew it, he walked to Natsume Takashi's current residence in Nuliang House.

"Ah, it's here." Nuliang Lusheng said.

He went forward and knocked on the door three times.

With a bang, the door opened.

The familiar face was reflected in the little fox's eyes.

He tilted his head and smiled at Natsume Takashi who was behind Guhuo.

A hoarse, familiar yet unfamiliar voice reached Natsume Takashi's ears.

"Long time no see, Natsume."
