After getting off the car, the group walked on the mountain for a while. The air in the mountain was very fresh, and it seemed that no one stepped on it often. Occasionally, a few hares looked at them curiously.

"There is a dilapidated shrine one kilometer ahead. We can go there to rest. After resting for a while, we can walk a little further inside to see the water of the Kumamoto River. We should be able to find the source if we keep going."

Natsume set foot on this mountain. He looked around and found nothing strange. After walking to the shrine, many team members were very tired.

"I want to take a break. I'm too tired. This is simply climbing a mountain." Nishimura Satoru sat directly on the steps.

"That's right, it's so hard to go on the road." The squad leader and Liying Kagawa, two girls, sat back to back, picked up the water cup and drank water.

"Everyone is here to rest and have something to eat. We will find the source of water as soon as possible, and we must leave this mountain before sunset in the afternoon." Mr. Bai Mu said.

Natsume's backpack was moving, and he felt the cat wanted to come out, so he found a reason, "I'll go ahead and have a look and see what I find." Natsume said hello.

"Natsume-san, be careful, don't go too far, if there is anything, just call it out." Sensei Shiraki felt that there was nothing wrong, so he explained to Natsume that he was too tired, and sat down just like Nishimura Satoru.

"I also want to look outside, and Natsume-san will take care of me." Kaname Tanuma said hello to Mr. Shiraki, and ran out quickly.

Immediately after going out, he caught up with Natsume, "Natsume."

"The fat lady is here too." Tanuma greeted the cat in a friendly manner.

"Hello." The cat raised its chin and greeted.

"Tanuma, Mr. Cat said that the smell of youkai on this mountain is very strong, maybe it has something to do with the pollution of the Kumamoto River." Natsume said.

"Then let's take a look first, and go back after checking the situation." Tanuma wanted to say.

"Ah."

The two ran forward together.

The forest in Tanuma's eyes is somewhat different from the forest in Natsume's eyes.

"Look, this creek is even more turbid than before we came here. The water body has turned yellow obviously. It seems that the pollution of the water source is higher." Natsume and Madara kept running along the creek.

"Xiaoxi? Where?" Tanuma wanted to look around, but he didn't see anything.

Natsume and the cat looked at each other, "Can't you see Tanuma, it's just five steps ahead of your feet." Natsume stopped.

The ground that Tanuma saw was very dry, and some brown soil was exposed, covered with withered yellow leaves. "It seems that I can't see it." Tanuma wanted to smile bitterly.

"The body of this creek may be a monster, please pay attention." Madara advised.

The further you went inside, the stronger the stench became. In the end, Natsume had to cover his nose, and the cat almost fainted.

"It stinks, what is it, such a strong smell." Natsume couldn't help asking, when he said this, he covered his mouth and nose with his clothes.

"That's right, it's going to stink to death." The cat's nose is not as sensitive as a dog's, but it is also extremely sensitive to smells. Madara's eyes circled directly, and Natsume had to carry it away.

"I also think it stinks. I don't know if it's because I can't see the monsters. The smell is not as unpleasant as you." If Tanuma thinks it is still acceptable, it is the smell of the trash can at most.But Natsume and the others felt much deeper, like the stench of hundreds of catties of rotting fish, fishy and stinky, disgusting.

Just when Natsume thought he had to go far, suddenly, a monster appeared in front of him. The monster was covered in pustules. "Yeah" voice: "Book of Friends, you are Natsume Reiko, you have Book of Friends..." The monster rushed towards Natsume directly.

Madarawa Tanuma was going to be bounced off directly, and Natsume was pressed to the ground by the monster.

"Let, let me go! You stink!" Natsume couldn't help but punched the monster, knocking it over.

Madara was already fainted by the smoke, and Kaname Tanuma fell unconscious on the ground, and Natsume hurriedly ran in the opposite direction from the two of them.

"Give me the friend account... I want the friend account..."

"I want a friend's account..." The monster chased Natsume all the way, regardless of the trees along the way, it directly knocked down the trees, and all the trees contaminated by it slowly rotted away.

Natsume saw that the monster had no sanity at all, so he could only think of a way to stop him.

He ran to a big tree, which could block the monster's footsteps and bought him a little time.

"Hand of darkness, lend me the strength to arrest the ominous thing and trap it in a cage." Natsume folded his hands together and immediately began to chant. All he learned were spells to trap monsters, and they would not cause any substantial damage to monsters. s damage.

As soon as Natsume's words fell, strands of black matter rose from the ground. These black matter slowly turned into pairs of hands, binding the monster's feet when it stepped in, and growing upwards, gradually binding the monster. The hands and the whole body of the monster.

"I'm saved." Natsume lost his strength and sat on the ground. It turned out that casting a spell would consume so much energy, and I don't know if Mr. Chang would lose all his energy like him in normal demon removal.

"What kind of monster are you?" Natsume asked standing in front of the monster.

"Give me a friend's account... a friend's account..."

"As long as you give me the account of friends... I can restore the original state... and everything will be restored..." The monster's huge eyes were dripping with pus, and his eyes were already unconscious.

Friends account?

Is the name of this monster also in the account of friends?

Natsume hurriedly opened the backpack, he flipped through the whole book, and there was a wind from the friend's account.

Sure enough, it was a monster in the account of friends, but I didn't know the name, and I didn't know how to return his name.

Natsume suddenly remembered that there was once a demon-killing party held by Mr. Natori at the field house. At that time, he went to track down the monster that always attacked monsters or demon-killing people. They didn’t know the name of the monster. Mr. Natori taught him the method. , as long as you have the appearance of a monster in your mind, the spell can be cast successfully,

Natsume closed his eyes, holding the account of friends with both hands, he carefully recalled the appearance of the monster in his mind, the original appearance of the monster must not be like this, what would it look like if it was not sick?

A scene of a handsome young man playing in the creek suddenly appeared in Natsume's mind. The young man had long hair tied up, his eyes were always closed, and he was wearing very little clothes. He didn't look like a person of this era.

A page of the friend's account stood up, Natsume opened Soumou, and tore off that page.

He cherished and said to the monster in front of him: "I will return your name to you now." He put the paper with the name in his mouth, closed his eyes and let out a soft breath, the monster's name peeled off from the paper and reappeared. Back on the forehead of the trapped yokai.

Natsume lost his strength and fell directly to the ground. There was an extra memory in his mind that didn't belong to him.

It turned out that this monster was not a simple monster, but an ancient god. He had been waiting for his former friend here for many years, but he never arrived.

Later, the world changed, and people gradually set foot on this mountain. Ordinary people recuperate under the mountain, but suffer from no water source, so the god turned into a water god, and has been guarding the mountain.Years have changed for too long, the gods have transformed into human beings and went down the mountain several times, and found that there are not many gods left in this world. The god friend he has been waiting for may have died a long time ago.

50 years ago.

A relative of Natsume Reiko lives in Kaohsiung County, and she has been here several times.Once, when she came to the mountain, she saw a young man playing by the stream wearing very little cloth. She suddenly felt that the eyes of that monster were even more lonely than hers. When those eyes looked into the water, they were so lonely. But trying to entertain himself.Natsume Reiko asked Feng Lishui, "Why are you here?" Feng Lishui told her that she was waiting for someone, someone who had been waiting for many years and had not yet arrived.

"Would you like to play a game with me, I'm bored here." The god asked first.

"Okay, but I have to make a bet. If you lose, you have to write down your name to me." The girl smiled confidently and flamboyantly.

"Okay." God agreed very readily.

"Let's compete to catch fish together. I conceived this creek, but the fish in it are difficult to catch." In fact, the god does not know how to use such tools as branches. He only goes into the water and fishes with his hands. In the case of , I lost to a girl who could use a tree branch.

The moment Natsume returned his name, a lot of his monster power was taken away. The stronger the monster, the more energy he spent returning his name.

"Natsume, wake up." The god shook Natsume awake.

Natsume only felt his head warm, and the feeling of discomfort with the name disappeared. He looked at the god, and the god was much younger than what he saw in the dream.

"Sorry for almost hurting you and your friend."

"All these years I have been waiting for my friend here, but he never came. I became more and more lonely, and I was gradually infested by the miasma on the mountain. Before I fell, I merged all the miasma into my illusionary creek. Now you Give me back my name, my power is back, and these miasmas are nothing to fear." The god smiled, his smile was very clear, he waved his hand, and the fallen trees in the forest rejuvenated with new life, Natsume and the others The stinky stream that walked along the road became clear again. The sunlight fell from the leaves, reflecting on the surface of the water with jagged light. Occasionally, small fish could be seen playing in it. The current scene is just like what Natsume Reiko saw 50 years ago. Same as the creek.

"You have seen all my dreams. My friend should be dead, and I will not stay in this sad person any longer. Maybe I will choose to sleep somewhere in the future."

"Thank you, Natsume." After the god finished speaking, he gradually disappeared into the sky.

Natsume went back along the creek and woke up the cat: "Mr. Cat, Aunt Toko made shrimp." Natsume waited patiently.

"Huh? Where? I want to eat shrimp." The cat jumped up directly from the dream, only to realize that Natsume was lying to him. He clearly dreamed of a lot of fish and shrimp just now.

Natsume and the cat walked over, woke up Tanuma, and hurried back to the shrine.

"Where did you two go?!"

"We've been looking for you!!!" Teacher Shiraki's roar came from the shrine.

"I'm sorry." Natsume and Tanuma Kaname's duet sounded, and after that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

In the end, the result of everyone's investigation is that the water source is very clean and can be drunk directly, and the water quality in Gaoxiong County has gradually returned to normal.
