Chapter 18: The True Ancient Land of Natsume

"Of course, if Natsume can outperform them in strength, you will be treated with great courtesy. The Ghost Clan is such a reckless but sincere group of guys, and your reputation among them will be of great help to our Earth Spirit Temple. ”

"Accept the order. ”

Gu Ming immediately withdrew his smile, and his expression changed slightly. She didn't expect Natsume to see that her casual joke would be accepted by Natsume as a mission, no, to be exact, she knew that this human would do this, but she was just negligent herself, and she couldn't help but hurry to remedy it.

"Natsume, cancel the order. You don't have to do that, it's just a joke. ”

However, Natsume's answer turned out not to be "understand".

"Ask. ”

Komei Jijue was also a little curious, this was the first time Natsume took the initiative to ask others.

"Please. ”

"Is the ghost clan the same strength as the whole clan? Whether they resemble a humanoid or not. ”

From Natsume's mouth, even a question sentence sounds like a declarative sentence.

"Of course, there are differences, the difference in strength between individuals will vary according to qualifications, talents, effort, environmental resources, etc., and the strongest of them is the Star Bear Yongyi I mentioned earlier. As for the humanoid...... Aside from the youkai that were simply humans, they may be the closest to humans in their bodies. ”

"Well, the cancellation order is dismissed. ”

"Natsume, didn't I make it clear? The physical strength of the ghost clan completely surpasses that of humans, tens and hundreds of thousands of times that of yours, you just need to escape. ”

Gu Ming couldn't help but feel a little anxious, maybe it was Natsume's obedient words before that gave her an illusion, mistakenly thinking that he would go on like this forever. But the unconscious itself has no logic at all, and this situation seems to be the norm.

"There's no need to run away. ”

Natsume's expression was calm.

His body radiated a pale brilliance that was similar to that of Gu Ming Ji's previous merger, but slightly different, closer to white than silver, and the light was far less brilliant and dazzling than when he was merging with the technique, which allowed Gu Ming Jijue to see every inch of Natsume's body changes.

The light first formed several pale heart-shaped symbols on his left neckline, cuffs, and left forehead, and then sprang out of those symbols with pipes of the same color. The lines curved and coiled like life, converging towards Natsume's chest and heart, and gradually dyed a light gray as they got closer to the heart, and the color became darker and darker. Eventually, a fist-sized gray orb appeared there, opening its large brown eyes.

The third eye.

Natsume turned into a youkai satoru.

This...... Could it be that it's really Natsume?

The scene before her was beyond the girl's imagination, and she had never seen it in the most absurd dreams. Gu Ming was stunned on the spot, closed his three eyes in disbelief, rubbed his hands and pressed his temples on both sides. But when she opened her eyes again, Natsume still had the gray third eye wrapped around her body, facing her six eyes, and said calmly:

"Master Yi's long skills to control Yi. ”

"Who do you say is a barbarian?"

Gu Mingdi felt that her apricot eyes were slightly stunned, and she almost got up, she was not an illiterate person who couldn't understand this sentence.

"Oni. ”

Natsume, who had turned into a youkai jue, replied instantaneously and very sensitively, and I don't know if it was because he had gained the ability to read minds. But this move did effectively and quickly extinguish the anger in Gu Mingdijue's heart, diverting her attention and allowing Miss Jue's curiosity to flourish.

"Natsume, how did you do that? Is this an illusion? Or are you originally our people? Are you a lover from another world?"

Gu Ming felt that this time it was really a literal case, but unfortunately it was not because of indignation, but surprise. She leaned forward so hard that she almost touched Natsume's face, and she hesitated to reach out to touch Natsume's third eye. But she still didn't dare to touch Natsume, for fear that it was just a phantom, and just stared carefully at him and the entangled pipes on his body.

It was rare for the girl to be so excited, but after all, this was the second time she had seen it in a long time except for herself and her sister. The girl thought about a lot of possibilities in her mind, but if she thought too much, it was a mess. I don't even know how to express it, I just throw out any question that comes to mind.

"Psychic self-shaping system, fourth-level ability, supernormal change. It's not an illusion. Not. Not. ”

Natsume was now able to read the chaotic thoughts in Komei's mind with his third eye, but he wasn't prepared to answer every single one. He instinctively realized that most of those thoughts were just possibilities that he didn't think existed.

"Supermorphic change? What's that?"

Koming Jijue gradually calmed down, and she realized that even if it wasn't an illusion, Natsume probably couldn't be her clansman. But she was still curious, Natsume's origin was full of mysteries, and this human had now completely aroused her curiosity.

"Become other creatures or objects, but not too different. If I see the Oni, I should be able to turn into the Oni and compete with them. ”

"Can you turn into other youkai?"

Gu Ming Dijue was still very curious.

"Anything in human form is fine. ”

"What about Ran?"

"Rin is a cat. "Natsume didn't make Komeiji feel happy this time. "You have to have an ontology that is similar to a human being. ”

"I see. ”

Koaki didn't feel disappointed, and when she calmed down, reason prevailed again, allowing her to notice some of Natsume's disobedience.

"Why do you have the power of the unconscious, but your third eye is still open?"

"Because my unconscious power is not obtained by closing the third eye. ”

[I see, then can you read my heart?]

Gu Ming felt that he deliberately didn't say a word, and looked at Natsume with some expectation in his eyes.

"Yes. ”

"Wait...... If you still have unconscious power when you open your third eye, will she still be as ...... as she is now, even if you open your third eye?"

"No, it won't. ”

Seeing that Gu Ming was about to fall into a state of worrying and care, Natsume directly interrupted her thoughts.

"Love is different, she can return to the past as long as she opens her eyes. ”

"Natsume, you...... Are you sure?"

The young man's expressionless face now looked strangely reassuring.

"I'm sure that's the crux of her. ”

"That's good, that's good. Gu Mingdi sighed tiredly, then raised his head and looked at the human with equal and serious attention.

"Natsume, can I ask you to help me and my relationship?"
