[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

Natsume followed Natori to the gate of the Nuragumi mansion in Ukiyo-e Town.

Looking at the traditional Japanese-style house with a large area in front of him, Natsume was a little amazed that monsters can thrive in a modern city.

However, as the monsters from Nu Liang's family came out to lead them in, they saw all kinds of monsters in the courtyard, chatting together in twos and threes, playing and playing, or entertaining themselves.

Natsume felt that his eyes had been opened again, and unlike the monsters he saw in Yahara, many of the monsters here looked almost indistinguishable from humans in appearance, and besides, they felt stronger to him.

"Huh? Isn't this cat too fat?"

In such a dazed effort, Mr. Cat was hugged in his arms probably because of his chubby posture, his sense of presence was too high. A monster hiding on the beam suddenly came upside down with a golden hook, and then hugged Mr. Cat. gone.

Although it is a three-colored cat, Mr. Cat, who has a big orange-heavy body, immediately quit when he heard that he was complained about being fat.

"Meow meow meow! You are fat, you rude guy!" Cat teacher was so angry that he wanted to scratch the rude monster in front of him, but his front paws were too fat and short, no matter how hard he scratched, he couldn't scratch it, so he had to be stern He yelled loudly, "I'll give you a chance to let go, or don't worry about me, Mr. Madara, being rude!"

"Ms. Cat?!" Noticing that Mr. Cat in her arms was gone, Natsume immediately looked around subconsciously, and then heard the movement above her head. When she looked up, she saw Mr. Cat being carried by a monster and waving her limbs. I couldn't laugh or cry, "So you went up there."

"Natsume, save me, meow! This guy actually grabbed my tail!"

Seeing the visiting guests looking up, the monster who captured Mr. Cat laughed and said, "This is the first time I see such a fat cat. I can't help but want to study it. I'll give it back to you, little brother."

After speaking, the monster threw Mr. Kitty to Natsume.

Although Natsume quickly reacted and stretched out his arms to pick up Mr. Kitty, but the moment the other party was thrown and hit his chest, he still felt a tightness in his chest and was almost out of breath.

"Mr. Cat, you really need to lose weight."

Natsume complained, while Natori joked, "Hahahahaha, kitten, you can roll away after eating like this."

"You just rolled away!!!"

Teacher Cat was very angry.

At this time, footsteps came from the front of the corridor.

"Huh? Besides Uncle and the others, are there any other visitors today?"

Natsume heard the sound and looked, only to see a middle school student with big eyes and a baby face.

After seeing the visitor on Monday, Natori smiled and said hello, "It's Young Master Lu Sheng."

After hearing Natori's address, Natsume was a little surprised. Could this middle school boy in front of him be the young master of the monster organization Nuragumi?

The other party looked like an ordinary human middle school student at all!

In front of him, Natori was already explaining their intentions to Lu Sheng.

"Is it because I want to find my missing friend? Is there a photo of him?"

After learning about the purpose of coming, Lu Sheng quickly showed his demeanor as a young master, actively asked about the relevant situation, and invited them to sit down in the living room by the way.

Looking at the other party who was clearly only thirteen or fourteen years old, Natsume still felt unreal for a while.

Natsume told Lu Sheng the name of Hiroto Fujisaki, but when he tried to find the photo of the other party, he found that none of the photos he kept about the other party clearly recorded the other party's frontal appearance, and there was no Single photo of Fujisaki.

In a few related photos, Fujisaki always either turned his face sideways, or happened to be covered by other things for most of his face, anyway, it was not clear enough to see the whole person at a glance.

Lu Sheng looked at the photos provided by Natsume, pondered for a while, and said that he would ask the monsters below to investigate to see if there were any monsters taking advantage of the chaotic situation to fish in troubled waters.

Natsume thanked him, and then looked at the immature Lu Sheng, feeling a little curious.

If it's the young master of the Nuliang group, then it should be a monster...but the other party really doesn't look like a monster!

Lu Sheng also noticed the confusion on Natsume's face, smiled, and said, "You seem to be curious if I'm a real monster."

Natsume, who was exposed, blushed slightly, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I offended you."

"It's nothing, it's normal for you to be surprised, because I am indeed a human being during the day, even an onmyoji can't see it, so it's not surprising that you think I'm not a monster." Probably Natsume's emphasis on friends, plus Natsume has a gentle atmosphere that makes people feel comfortable. Lu Sheng usually has a good impression of such kind-hearted people, so he said a few more words, "I am not a pure monster. Grandma and mother are human, so I Only at night will it change back to the appearance of a monster, and during the day, unless the blood in the body is deliberately stimulated, it will appear in the appearance of a human being."

"So that's how it is!" Natsume suddenly realized.

Lu Sheng said: "After that, if we hear any news, we will contact you."

"It's really troublesome for you." Natori thanked.

Natsume also immediately expressed his thanks.

When they were about to leave, two people with extraordinary temperament passed by in the corridor outside. Someone walked by outside, Natsume subconsciously glanced at the past, and then froze for a while.

Because these two people were the same Xu Hang and Yuzao that he met on the street the night he visited Fujisaki in Tokyo.

"Huh? Isn't this Natsume-kun?"

Tamazamo also noticed Natsume, stopped walking forward, turned around and said.

Xu Hang also stopped and nodded to Natsume as a greeting.

"So sir, do you know Natsume-kun!" Lu Sheng asked in surprise.

Xu Hang replied, "I've seen it twice before."

"Could it be that Natsume was entangled by some difficult monster and came to the Nuliang Group for help?" As he said, Yuzao looked around, "Where's the fat cat? Isn't he a bit capable?"

Natsume looked under the table helplessly, and Tamamozen followed his gaze, only to find that the fat cat was eating tea under the table.

At this time, Xu Hang had already understood the reason with Lu Sheng. Seeing the photos on the table, Xu Hang fell silent subtly.

Natsume and the others left Nura's house shortly after flirting with Neko-sensei again in front of Tamamo.

Lu Sheng, who had seen clues from Xu Hang's silence just now, asked, "Well, is there anything wrong with the person Natsume is looking for?"

Xu Hang announced directly: "This is that warlock."

Lu Sheng's expression became very strange in an instant, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said, "So it's this guy!"

"It seems that Natsume has always regarded him as a pure and good person." Xu Hang frowned, "I remember that the higher authorities eliminated the traces of warlocks in the world before, but Natsume's own spiritual power is very strong, maybe it has no effect on him, so I remember."

"Then am I going to tell him the truth directly?" Lu Sheng couldn't bear it. Human beings with a clear mind like Natsume are too rare now, and he didn't want to tell him the truth.

"..." After a few seconds of silence, Xu Hang said, "Forget it, make up a reason to make him believe that Fujisaki is favored by the gods."

……

After leaving Nuliang’s house, it’s already Sunday today, and it’s not a holiday, and I have to go to school tomorrow, so Natsume has to get ready to go back to Yahara.

Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't investigate anything, he had entrusted the Nuragumi of Tokyo's local forces to help with the investigation. Presumably the monsters would be more comfortable investigating these things, so he'd better wait for the news.

In this way, after saying goodbye to Natori Monday, Natsume took Mr. Kitty to the place where he started to take the train.

When passing the intersection of a street, a girl walking with her head down probably didn't look at the road, and accidentally bumped into Natsume, and because of inertia, she almost fell backwards to the ground.Fortunately, Natsume reacted in time and quickly reached out to support her.

"Sorry! Are you okay?" Natsume asked kindly.

The girl lifted it up, and to her surprise, it was a rare beauty who smiled at Natsume and said, "Yes, I'm sorry! I accidentally bumped into you!"

"It's nothing." Seeing that she was fine, Natsume was about to leave, but when she touched her shoulder, she felt that she had lost some weight. When she was about to recall, the girl suddenly grabbed him again.

"That! I'm sorry to interrupt your time for a while, I think you can help me a little bit?"

Natsume was stunned, but seeing that the other party seemed to be in a hurry, and his usual kindness made it difficult for him to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

But Natsume didn't know it. At this time, the cat teacher was anxiously shouting on the empty street: "Natsume! Where did you go, Natsume! Hey! Natsume?!"

After carefully sniffing the residual smell and observing it for four weeks, Mr. Cat became serious.

He didn't know much about the outside situation in the bag just now, he just remembered that Natsume seemed to hit something and dropped the bag containing him just now.

Madara jumped out of the bag angrily, only to find that Natsume was gone, as if disappeared out of thin air.

I'm in trouble...

Crossroads has always been one of the places where metaphysics is easy to psychic. It seems that what Natsume bumped into just now may be some unclean things, but what really annoys Madara the most is that Natsume disappeared under his nose.

As if provocative, Madara instantly changed back to her original form and grinned.

Just as he was about to go back and fetch the rescuers to bring Natori to help find Natsume, he caught a glimpse of a white shadow out of the corner of his eye, which was the ghost he had seen at the gate of the shrine before.

Nora glanced at Madara who had changed back to his original form, then looked around and found that Natsume was nowhere to be seen, and said calmly, "Is that human missing?"

Madara is in a hurry to find someone to help find Natsume, and doesn't care about this ghost: "I don't know what has been abducted, and I don't have time to chat with you now."

Seeing that Madara was about to fly away, Nora suddenly asked in a strange way: "Do you have any items he used?"

Perhaps it was because of the rare kindness and tenderness he felt from Natsume before, Nora thought, forget it, let's just repay Natsume's unnecessary actions before.

"He just carried this bag on his back." Madara shrunk back to the appearance of Mr. Kitty.

After following the warlock for so many years, Nora has also mastered some practical small spells.

She quickly used the item to track the whereabouts of the owner of the item, and then found out.

"He's still in place, he can't see it because he was hidden by magic."

……

And at this time Natsume.

"Please calm down, don't worry, can you explain clearly what's going on?" He was sweating profusely trying to comfort the girl in front of him.

The other party seemed to be very scared for some reason, and kept babbling words such as "will be discovered" and "bad", and grabbed Natsume's arm, trying to pull him to run together.

But Natsume subconsciously felt that something was wrong, insisted on not running with her, and tried to persuade the police to help.

Just as the two of them were entangled, suddenly, a distorted vortex appeared in the space in front of them, and Natori Monday's voice appeared in it.

"Natsume!"

Then Natori's upper body poked out from there, and immediately reached out and grabbed Natsume's arm, pulling him to his side.

"do not go!!!"

The girl yelled in an instant and rushed forward to grab Natsume's other arm, with a pear blossom on her face and a cute look on her face.

"Go away! You ugly girl!"

Teacher Cat's voice came from behind Natori, and the girl was hit immediately. Taking advantage of her dazed effort, Natori successfully pulled Natsume back to reality.

After being pulled back violently, Natsume couldn't stop and fell to the ground.

When I came back to my senses, I looked up, and saw that Mr. Cat and Natori Monday, who had just parted, were there.

Teacher Cat said angrily: "Natsume, you idiot! Something happened just because I didn't look at you!"

At this moment, Natsume realized that something was wrong with that girl, but she was still a little dazed: "Just now that was..."

"You were almost hidden by the gods." Natori explained, "Fortunately, a ghost helped find the entrance."

As he said that, Natori was about to express his gratitude to Nora, but found that she had left.

"It's the little girl you saw at the gate of the shrine before, hmph, she's kind enough." Teacher Cat puffed up, "The ghosts and gods in this place in Tokyo are so arrogant! I just said yesterday that a little boy like you is easy to be deceived." It looks like I didn’t expect to come so soon, don’t put me in the bag before you return to Yayuan, lest someone who misses you be caught by someone who doesn’t know where.”

While Teacher Mao was complaining and admonishing, Natsume knew that this was the other party's concern. Although it was really dangerous just now, she couldn't help but smiled and nodded again and again at this time, expressing that she remembered the teaching.

Nora was on the roof not far away, watching this happy scene, turned around silently, and was about to walk around meaninglessly.

When she turned around and looked back, she saw Xueyin standing next to the electric pole on the roadside, as if she had something to say.

After going down, Xueyin said reluctantly: "The underworld holds a staff gathering, and temporary workers can also participate. Do you want to come together?"

"……it is good."
