Little did they know that after she left, Natsume also entered the range of the poolside barrier, and Jasmine also returned home alone.

"I am back!"

After changing her shoes, she walked into the living room, but she couldn't find her parents after looking around. Thinking of the creamy baked rice her father mentioned, Jasmine also guessed that they were probably still preparing dinner in the kitchen.It happened that the kitchen door was not completely locked, and I saw my mother's back.

"mom--"

"Why do you think she suddenly changed her mind and went to Xingzuo?"

"What's strange, didn't she say why?"

Hearing this, Jasmine also put her hand on the doorknob.

Mom and Dad are... still discussing her high school?

But it's so strange, usually it's my mother who worries terribly about this matter, and my father looks like an optimist who doesn't care, why is it the other way around today?

Thinking back to when I called to discuss with my mother, my father interrupted while looking at the phone - "If you really don't know what to do, you can inherit the family cake shop and be a pastry chef. Hahahaha..." I want to laugh.After returning home from the holiday, my father sued her aggrievedly, saying that my mother hung up the phone and enforced cruel family laws against him.

She thought the matter was over, but she didn't expect that they were still discussing it.

Not noticing that the protagonist in the conversation had already returned home, Gangya and Yuelong continued talking.

"But she was so resistant before! If you think about it carefully, no matter how much you discussed with her before, she would never let go." Dad was struggling with a sad face while chopping diced meat.

"It means that Masayoshi's child has unique insights. It's a child of a big family who can think of such a breakthrough in the general department." Not only is the mother not worried at all, but because Akashi has done what she has always wanted to do but can't. emotion.

"Hey, what kind of child from a big family, I think he has ulterior motives!" He chopped open the bone with a knife.

"What are you talking about? Do you have any ulterior motives if you just watch them grow up?" Mom gave him a blank look, "How old are you, but still envious of the children's good feelings."

"Who is jealous of them?" Dad angrily put the knife on the cutting board, "I'm seriously worried that that kid has bad intentions!"

"What intentions does he have? Isn't he helping Jasmine all the time?"

"Help? Then why didn't you see Yuno's child helping her? He is the only one who has a lot of things to do, and he is the one who takes care of a lot! What right do you have to dictate to our child?!"

"Aren't you messing around?" Mom didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You won't understand, Akashi must have some ulterior motives. This is a man's intuition!"

Yue Hao was hit by the phrase "a man's intuition", and suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

Originally planning to go in and help Zhengjun speak, but seeing that mother had already ended father's round by other means, Jasmine let go of her hand silently.

Really, Dad, where does Zhengjun have any ulterior motives, and what can she gain from her.

At the dinner table half an hour later, Hei Mugang was also a little uneasy.I don't know why his lovely daughter keeps looking at him with a subtle smile, and she says it's all right when she asks... Is there something wrong? !

"Are you angry that I forgot to buy rosin for you? Dad will go buy it tomorrow, and I promise not to delay it!"

Jasmine also said, "No, the rosin in my hand is enough for a few days. If Dad is busy, don't worry."

"Then... I accidentally dropped your skirt when I collected the clothes at noon, so I was angry?"

Before Jasmine could say anything, her mother stopped holding the vegetables and asked with a black face, "You put the dirty clothes back in the laundry tub, right?"

Dad turned pale, and confessed in a voice like a mosquito: "I, I folded up..."

Seeing that his mother's hand was about to grab his ear, he yelled with great desire to survive: "Ah, I've already photographed it, I promise I won't see it! I...ahhh! Light, light! It hurts!"

It has to be said that Jasmine has perfectly inherited this problem of non-stop ah when she gets nervous.

It's a pity that he, who blew himself up and was killed in battle, never imagined until the last second before his death that his lovely daughter, who never listened to the corner, heard that her father who "looked careless" was actually a man behind his back. A guy who speaks ill of his daughter's friend.If it weren't for the fact that her mother had already told him about his meal, and that the meal tonight was really delicious, she would not have forgiven him so easily.

After the meal, when the father who was fined to wash the dishes for 3 days was still in the kitchen and was scolded by his mother, the doorbell rang.

"Sorry to bother you so late."

Outside the door is Aunt Tazi who is worried.

"Little Jasmine, have you seen Guizhi?"

Brother Guizhi is gone.

Two hours ago, he said he had something to go out and came back before dinner, so he left in a hurry.But now it was almost 8 o'clock, and he didn't even have a shadow, and his cell phone couldn't be connected.He has also contacted all his classmates and friends, and no one has seen him.

"What should I do, will the child encounter any trouble?"

"Don't worry about Tazi, the signal around here has not been very good, maybe it's just a temporary incident, and there is no way to contact the family."

Yue Yu was comforting Tazi in the living room, she had already put on her shoes just now, turned on the flashlight, and was about to go out with Zi to find someone.Jasmine also wanted to go out with her, but was rejected by the adults, so she could only stay upstairs aggrievedly waiting for the news.

However, seeing the moon rising higher and higher, there was still no sign of Natsume.The siren whistled from far to near, and finally stopped at the door of the two families.After being unable to contact for a long time, Aunt Tazi and Uncle Zi finally chose to call the police.

"Where did Brother Guizhi go?"

Right on the table in front of Jasmine's eyes, two mid-level youkai in kimonos, about half a person tall, were struggling to jump and shout, panting with exhaustion, desperately trying to attract her attention.

[Hey, little girl, we are here! 】

【Hurry up and save Natsume-sama!No matter how late, just, just... too late, ah! 】

Unfortunately, their efforts were doomed to be in vain.Jasmine also doesn't have the eyes to see ghosts, and under normal circumstances, she can't see these inhuman things at all.

【How to do how to do……】

Coincidentally, a blue fluorescent butterfly passed by the window and discovered this scene.

[Ah, intermediate level, what kind of masters are you dancing here? 】

[This voice...] The monster with a bull's head immediately ran to the window: [Master Hongdie, Lord Hongdie, please help!Something happened to Natsume-sama! 】

The butterfly flapped its wings and transformed into a dark-haired beauty in a light red kimono.After listening to the words of the two intermediate monsters, she gave them an idea.then--

On such a dark and windy night, Jasmine, who actually had a solid worldview, also watched a supernatural drama with her eyes wide open.The notebook on my desk suddenly spread out, the red ballpoint pen jumped up and started writing on the notebook!

And the first sentence at the beginning is the most common sentence in ghost movies [help]!

Fortunately, the second half of the sentence [Natsume is in danger] successfully attracted her attention, otherwise, after her too long reflex arc reacted, she might have to perform a sudden death on the spot because of excessive fright.At that time, let alone rescue people, the ambulance might follow in the footsteps of the police car and drive to the door of the house.

Because she was worried about Natsume, Jasmine, who hadn't realized that she had "hit a ghost", ignored these strange things very nervously, and immediately asked, "What's wrong with Brother Guizhi, how can I help him?"

The ballpoint pen shook in place, and wrote: [He followed you to the enchantment in the forest, and never came out after that. 】

"Enchantment? What enchantment?" If these two words were not written in Chinese characters, she would even wonder if she heard it wrong.

[It’s the forest next to the viewing platform you went to in the afternoon. 】

Observation deck?forest?Enchantment?

Could it be... the pool?Isn't it just an ordinary pool?What about enchantment, as for?

Thinking of this, Jasmine also silently blacked out.

Looking at the screen of the phone, it is now past 9 o'clock in the evening, and there is indeed no news from Natsume.Since they were all found on her head, and he disappeared because he followed her, he would rather believe it.

Brother Kishi's safety comes first.

She grabbed her coat and cell phone, turned and ran downstairs, and quickly put on her shoes before her mother could stop her.

"I think of a possible place, I'll look for it, and call if I need anything!"

Just rushed out of the house.

At the same time, in the enchantment in the forest that has been completely covered by darkness.

The cat teacher who has turned back into a monster—should be called Madara now, is guarding Natsume's side, vigilant against the goddess who has been sitting on the stone platform over there, but exudes a terrifying presence.

"what on earth do you want?"

They tried countless times, but no matter how they ran, they would eventually circle back to the pool.I also thought about attacking Izanami, but all the attacks fell to nothing.The distance of a few meters between them seems to be separated by two worlds.Obviously close at hand, but far away.

"What do I want? This question is really strange." The blond goddess sucked on the gun pouch and exhaled a beautiful smoke ring gracefully.Then he turned his head coquettishly, and asked with a smile: "This is the gap between the world and the underworld, a place that no one but me and her will set foot in. Obviously you tried your best to get in, but Come to ask me what I want again? Are you men like this, duplicity?"

"I'm so annoying, didn't I tell you everything because I was worried about that little girl? If it weren't for this, who would come in knowing that it's such a ghostly place!"

Madara paved the ground impatiently.Natsume beside him was also very anxious, it was already so late, if he didn't go home, Aunt Tako and Uncle Zi must be very worried about him.But this goddess, she looks easy to talk, but in fact she doesn't like oil or salt at all.

But the strange thing is that after so long, she just trapped them and didn't do anything else, and she didn't even move half a step from that stone platform at all.One thing Natsume was sure of was that she didn't want to hurt them.She is the goddess of the underworld, Izanami. She is not some weird monster. She is indeed called the mother of all gods, possesses the godhead, and reigns supreme in the underworld.If she wanted to, how could she let them live until now.

So, what is she trying to do?

"No, why do you hate this place? I'm here." She slowly stood up and took a step towards this side.The bare feet stepped on the bright red petals lightly and softly, shining white amidst the crimson, the familiar face belonging to Natsume Reiko, reflected in the silvery white moonlight and the reflection of the pool water, it was beyond beautiful.

"I know, everyone likes me very much." The goddess tilted her head, opened her arms and said with a innocent smile, "Stop struggling, stay, be my friend, and stay with me all the time, okay?"

friend?

"You're out of your mind. Do you think it's useful to put Reiko in the face? Who doesn't know—"

Natsume Reiko's face?

Madara, who was about to continue to taunt, felt a pain in his neck, turned his head and sprayed unhappily: "Natsume, what are you dragging me for?"

"Well, Lady Goddess," he patted Madara's head with his backhand in a comforting manner, and took a step forward firmly with a tense expression, "We promise not to tell Miss Kuroki about you, you can let us leave here ?"

The wind has stopped.

The elegant goddess adjusted her clothes with lowered eyebrows, and asked casually, "Why do you think I care about this?"

"Because you just said that she is your friend." The slender blond boy stood in front of the filthy but exceptionally beautiful goddess, raised his head and looked at her face without squinting.

According to myths and legends, because Izanami had eaten the food of the underworld, he had already turned into bones, was riddled with maggots, and had a terrifying appearance.At first glance, the goddess in front of me does not seem to be as rumored, but if you think about it carefully, why does she look exactly like Natsume Reiko...

In other words, why she wanted to show people with Natsume Reiko's face, she could get an answer.

This is not what she is.

Maybe in Jasmine's eyes, she looks different.

Also in the mythology, the great god Izanami, who was deeply in love with Izanami, had already descended to the underworld for her lover, but because of seeing her too ugly appearance, he finally abandoned her, and She stayed in Huangquan alone.

The feeling of being betrayed and abandoned by important people, just imagining it is already so painful that I can't breathe, if it happens again——

"I've been crazy for a long time, since the day that person abandoned me and left me alone in Huangquan."

She turned her head sideways and looked at the dark forest, her gaze was more tender than ever.

"But I met her, the first ordinary human being who reached out to me in thousands of years, but was destined to be untouchable."

This eternal loneliness, a void that cannot be filled no matter what, clamors to drag her down to hell all the time.

But not yet, not yet.

In the ear, the girl's call could be vaguely heard.

"Expensive...is it..."

The goddess glanced at Natsume for the last time, and said meaningfully: "This is an agreement between us, son of man, don't forget."

"Yes." The blond boy agreed solemnly.

A red thread appeared from the void and connected to his wrist.

This is the "agreement".

Is the "that" on Miss Kuroki the same thing?

It was just an effort of brilliance, and when he raised his head again, the waterside returned to its normal appearance again.Without the blooming Bianhua, the water chestnut here is swaying quietly in the moonlight.The night wind gently brushed the surface of the pool, creating ripples, sweeping across the empty stone platform by the water, as if the goddess of melancholy standing there just now was just a phantom illuminated by the water light.

"Brother Guizhi, are you there?"

Natsume withdrew his gaze and turned to face the rustling leaves.There, the brown-haired and blue-eyed girl was pushing aside the cover of the branches and approaching him.Behind her, there were two middle-level monsters with tears in their eyes, and Hongdie who was relieved.

"I'm here, Miss Kuroki."

"It's really..."

When the two, the cat, and the three monsters returned to the main road, and Jasmine called home to report that they were safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I made you worry..." Natsume blushed in embarrassment.

"It's good that you're fine. Oh, speaking of it, why did Brother Kishi get lost in such a place? If someone hadn't informed me, everyone would have—"

Wait, notify her?

The scene of the notebook opening by itself and the ballpoint pen being automatically opened by no one reappeared in her mind. Jasmine, who finally realized that she had "struck a ghost", also froze with a smile, and without warning, she performed a kneeling with her head on the spot.

"There is a ghost!"

Startled by her sudden high-decibel scream, Mr. Kitty fell from Natsume's shoulder to the ground without noticing.

[What the hell are you doing, this little girl, it's not good for your heart to be so startled all the time! 】

Natsume turned his head to look at the three monsters beside him, and the three blinked at him innocently, looking like they were out of the situation.

In the end, he had no choice but to confess.

"Huh? A monster?"

"A lot? Uh, will you accidentally step on it?"

So on the way back, Jasmine, whose world view has expanded again after Yato, felt that she would definitely have a particularly interesting dream tonight.

By the pool which had regained its tranquility, the beautiful goddess sat quietly on the stone platform and opened the biscuit box that Jasmine also gave her today.It's a pity that when I opened it, what I saw was the fragments that had already been covered with maggots from the underworld and decayed into ashes.

This is a predictable result.

She is Huangquan itself, she is all the filth in the world.Whatever she touches, whether it is an inanimate object, or an animal, a human, or even a god, will be contaminated by this filth, and will quickly decay in front of her, and even the soul cannot escape.

Once she falls into hell, she is no longer her.Maybe he can keep the same appearance as now, but in the end it's just a self-deception.What she wants, what she wants to cherish, what she wants to touch has always been her pure and flawless soul.

"Jasmine too, I will endure until the day when the promise is fulfilled—"

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, Kavin, for keeping everyone waiting for so long orz

And when I wrote this, I realized that I had written out a plot earlier... I just secretly stuffed it back...
