"Understood. ”

Natsume immediately manifested the ability to "dissolve astral quality", causing the astral construct version of the terrifying robot to disappear without a trace.

Gu Mingjijue, who was a little out of shape, gasped slightly, she roughly guessed what was going on, this was the usual method of love pranks, but it was used by Natsume's knowledge and ability. In this way, what Natsume said is still true and credible.

“…… Sorry, I had a gaffe. Move your own chair and sit on it. ”

After a moment, Komei Jiju, whose breath had returned to steady, nodded at Natsume. The human who was standing in place finally ran to the side and took a chair over, and sat down in front of Gu Ming Dijue.

"It's finally time to get started...... Before that, I want to ask you a few questions, Natsume. Do you know what you are?"

"A member of the Earth Spirit Temple. ”

The human replied with a blank face.

If it weren't for the fact that Gu Ming knew that he wouldn't have this kind of mind at all, she would really think that Natsume was deliberately pleasing her.

"That's my definition for you, do you have any information about yourself?"

Natsume was silent.

Gu Ming Dijue crossed his hands on the table and waited for a while.

"Well, it seems like no. ”

In place of the silent human beings, Gu Ming Dijue made a conclusion.

"I've noticed something, Natsume. You rarely use words like 'I' or 'yourself' in conversations, can you really recognize that you exist?"

"Yes. Natsume's mouth opened and closed silently several times, the first time he had behaved in a manner similar to hesitation or hesitation.

"It's just...... Emptiness. ”

He frowned slowly, his right hand unconsciously clenching the placket of his chest.

"I roughly get it. ”

It's really the same symptom as the first time of the relationship.

"Then the last question, what did you feel from her when you fused with Lian Lian?" Ko Ming forced to look into Natsume's brown eyes, leaned forward slightly, and immediately added before he opened his mouth, "I want to be a big thief." ”

"Loneliness, pain, anger, apathy, sadness, the madness and sadism that all this brings, and the strongest attachment to you. ”

“…… Is that so?"

Gu Mingdi felt the answer, and the answer was as expected, and it made her feel tormented.

"That's right. ”

Natsume, who gradually regained his composure in the answer, confirmed.

The monster girl took a deep breath and lowered her head tiredly, arching herself as if she had been punched hard in the stomach, allowing her overlapping fingers to support her forehead and prevent it from topping.

"How did we get to where we are today......

Gu Mingdi didn't know who he was asking. She wasn't actually asking Natsume, nor was she asking herself, Gu Ming Jijue didn't believe in the power of the underworld, she had seen and knew what kind of existence the so-called gods were. She just felt pain, pain from her own powerlessness.

But what she didn't expect was that someone would answer.

"Pain fuels all kinds of madness in the world. ”

The voice was Natsume, but the speaker was definitely not Natsume. The man's deep and soft voice seemed calm, but there was enough sorrow in it to understand why he had answered the way he did, it was the nick left after the wound had scabbed, and the owner of the voice had obviously had the same or even more violent heart as Gu Ming Dilian, but the flame gradually died out in the long wash, leaving only cold ashes.

Gu Ming Jijue suddenly raised his head to look at Natsume, but what caught his eye was still Natsume's face, or the empty pale spirit.

"Natsume, you ......"

Gu Ming Jijue stared at the human being with wide eyes, but no matter how carefully she looked, Natsume still couldn't find the slightest shadow of a speaker, and Gu Ming Jijue had no choice but to give up and sigh softly.

"Let's just think that's my delusion. ”

"Sorry for wasting so much of your time, let's take a lesson. ”

She took the top one from the book next to her, which was neatly lined up to the height of her earlobe, and placed it in front of her with a gentle motion.

"Let's start with where we are, and this is the Chronicles of the Old Hell. By the way, Natsume, can you read the text? That's good. ”

After receiving the answer from the silent human, Gu Ming Dijue began to tell the story.

"Since the former Taishan King, the Ten Palaces Yama has given up the original Scorching Hell Shrinking Sphere of Influence, and this vacated territory at the foot of the Monster Mountain has become a playground for evil spirits and resentful spirits. Soon, the ghost clan was expelled from the surface due to the strategy of the monster sage, and the Xingxiong Yongyi led the clan to migrate to the old hell of the sword, and since then the ghost clan has rarely been seen in Gensokyo. After a while, our Earth Spirit Temple left the Youkai Mountain for some reason, and was chosen by the Youkai Sage to be the nail to guard the Old Hell and stationed in the Old Hell when we were wandering. That being said, because the space of the old hell is too vast, we don't have much friction with the oni clan, and there may be a relationship between them and their fear of the mind-reading ability of the youkai Kakuri clan such as us. The Oni are a race of monsters who worship force, and unlike many primitive nomads who have appeared in your human history, they do not worship wisdom, and all strategies will be regarded as crooked and evil conspiracies, and they are extremely unfriendly to Onmyoji who cannot fight head-on. Natsume, your main combat methods are those spells that I don't know very well, and they shouldn't be liked by the ghost clan, so remember to run away first when you encounter the ghost clan, and if you can't do it, report the name of our Earth Spirit Temple. Although I don't think that if you can defeat the love, you will lose to them. ”

Gu Ming Dijue paused to speak, and looked at the human who didn't say a word, and he couldn't even know whether he was listening or not.

"Do you understand?"

"Understood. Seeing that the ghost clan fled first, followed by the fox and the fake tiger. ”

Natsume said calmly.

Koming nodded in satisfaction, though she felt a little disobedient to Natsume's use of the idiom fox fake tiger power to refer to herself.

"That's right, because they are particularly valuing pure physical strength, so they must not agree to compete with the ghost clan. Although they will admit it no matter what method is used to win, all non-military means will reduce their favorability. Natsume, as a human being and not a warrior, it is impossible for you to defeat the Oni in strength no matter what. It is rare for our Earth Spirit Temple to establish a friendly relationship with the Ghost Clan, and we need to continue to maintain it. ”

"Understood. ”

Perhaps Natsume satisfied Gu Ming's desire to be a good teacher, and the corners of the eyebrows and eyes of the monster girl who was in a good mood were much softer, no longer so tight, and even the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a rare smile.
