Chapter Twenty-Nine: Shikigami
In the courtyard, under the guidance of the cat teacher, Natsume drew the formation.
"That's it, put on a white robe, stand in the middle of the formation, and put the mirror and the friend's tent on it. Then you need your blood, probably a fingernail. Drip blood on the mirror and call Mishino's name. Teacher Cat said.
"Okay, I see."
Kakashi didn't bother the man and the cat, but watched quietly.
Summoning a yokai through a friend's tent, Kakashi is also seeing it for the first time.
So he also had a curious attitude.
"Blood, and formations, no matter how you look at it, it feels a bit like psychic art."
In this way, the Friends Account seems a bit like a psychic contract.
It's just that it's much more binding than a psychic contract.
At this time, Natsume had already made all the preparations.
"My Guardian, please come to me."
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together.
There was a bang, and a puff of smoke rang out, and huge creatures emerged in the smoke.
"Natsume-sama."
Mishino shouted respectfully.
"I'm sorry, Mishino, but I can't give you your name back yet. I'm in a bit of trouble right now, and I don't know if I can ask you for help. ”
Mishino looked at Natsume with a strange look, but quickly said, "No problem." ”
When Natsume heard this, he revealed the curse mark on his left hand.
"It's ...... Mark of the Damned? ”
"Yes. Kakashi-sensei said that there is a youkai named C who is very good at cursing, so I want you to help me find her. Natsume said.
Hearing this, Mishino looked at Kakashi on the side.
He'd seen this human a few times.
But I haven't been able to figure out the details of him.
"You know C, too?" Mishino said as he looked at Kakashi.
"Well, yes, I did, but that guy probably forgot about me." Kakashi laughed.
Before, in the forest, C also promised to help Kakashi find a way to solve the problem of demonic power in his body.
But seven years have passed, and Kakashi has solved the problem on his own, and he still hasn't seen C come to him.
So Kakashi reckoned that nine times out of ten, this guy had forgotten.
Sanxiao nodded slightly when he heard this, then looked at Natsume and said, "I understand, Natsume-sama, I'll go to C, you wait a while." ”
After Mishino finished speaking, he disappeared with a bang.
Not long after, a blue-haired woman in a purple robe fell from the sky and landed beside Natsume.
"Beautiful Reiko! You're finally back! I knew you weren't dead. There was a bastard named Kakashi who said you're dead, and the next time I see him, I'm going to beat him up. ”
C excitedly stroked Natsume, who looked panicked.
"I didn't ...... Don't have a boobs? ”
C seemed to have touched something, and hurriedly left Natsume.
"Could it be a man! Ahhh It's disgusting! ”
Binglian took a few steps back, holding his head with a look of remorse.
Natsume looked confused, what is the situation with this guy.
Kakashi laughed and said, "This guy is still the same. ”
C was stunned and looked back at Kakashi.
"It's you! The guy with the same voice as Madara. C was surprised.
"I didn't expect you to remember me, it's really rare."
"How can you forget, you guy is not a simple character."
"I'll just treat you as a compliment to me." Kakashi laughed.
C frowned at this time and said, "The demonic power in your body is completely gone, have you already controlled the demonic power in your body?" ”
"Let's just say that, it's rare that you still know about it. I remember when you said you were going to help me figure it out, but it's been seven years, and I haven't seen you come to me. ”
C was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice: "It's been seven years? Time flies. I haven't forgotten, but I haven't thought of a way, so I didn't go to you. It's just that I didn't expect that seven years have passed. ”
Kakashi was helpless.
Well, it's really hard for youkai who have no idea of time at all to remember what time is.
Kakashi didn't care either.
"Since you've solved the demonic power, what are you looking for me to do?" C asked.
"It's not me looking for you, it's Natsume looking for you."
Kakashi gestured to Natsume on the side.
C also focused on Natsume at this time.
I saw her frown slightly, and said in a low voice: "Who is this guy who is so similar to Reiko?" ”
"Naturally, it's Reiko's grandson. As for Reiko, she died a long time ago. ”
C looked lonely when he heard this.
Yes, she knew the news seven years ago, but when she saw Natsume again, she thought she had been deceived by Kakashi before.
Now it seems that that is indeed true.
Seeing C's expression, Natsume was also a little touched.
This was the first time he had seen someone hear the news of Reiko's death with such a sad look.
"Are you familiar with Reiko's grandmother?" Natsume couldn't help but ask.
Faced with Natsume's question, C did not answer directly.
"Hey, it's a short life."
The cat teacher on the side said, "C likes Reiko very much. ”
C Wenyan looked over, and when he saw the appearance of the cat teacher, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahahaha!" Madara, how did you become like this! It's so funny! Hahaha. ”
"Bastard! Don't laugh at me! The cat teacher waved her little paws, trying to show her fierceness, but she only looked more cute.
"Well, now isn't the time to laugh. C, look at the five-day seal on Natsume's left hand, is there any way to do it? Kakashi asked.
Bing Wenyan looked at Natsume's left hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said, "This is indeed the Five Day Seal, it seems that you have been targeted by strange things." ”
"Is there any way to do it?" Natsume worried.
C took out his cigarette stick, took two puffs, and then said in a low voice: "There is no solution to the five-day seal, the only thing that can be done is to survive the five-day period, and at that time, the five-day seal will naturally become invalid." ”
"Five days? In other words, it's still four days. Natsume whispered.
"But in the past five days, you have to be careful not to be sucked dry, otherwise, you will die." C said.
Seeing this, Kakashi said, "Natsume, come and live at my house these days." I know, you're worried about the Fujiwara couple, right? ”
"But...... Kakashi-sensei......"
Natsume looked worried, obviously afraid that Kakashi would be affected.
Kakashi smiled, "Don't worry, these little monsters can't hurt me." ”
Natsume thought about it, too.
Even the cat teacher is no match for Kakashi-sensei, let alone those little monsters.
"Then trouble Kakashi-sensei."
Kakashi rubbed Natsume's head and said, "Be polite with me." ”
Seeing this, C seemed to be moved, and then said, "I'll help you investigate which youkai did it." ”
"Thank you, C."
Natsume said with a smile.
C was stunned for a moment, and seemed to see Reiko's shadow on Natsume's face.
"Bastard! Don't look at me like that! ”
After C finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away.
Left Natsume with a confused face.
After another phone call to Aunt Tako, Natsume stayed at Kakashi's house with peace of mind.
Tanuki chase and cat teacher seem to be inexplicably in tune.
After that, the cat teacher began to sweep up the food in Kakashi's house.
But fortunately, now that he is smaller, he can't eat much.
"Ahh
Natsume suddenly covered her left arm, and the pain became even more intense.
Kakashi frowned slightly at this and pressed Natsume's left hand.
A wave of demonic power emerged, and the power of the curse was forcefully suppressed.
Natsume breathed a sigh of relief, and the pain disappeared.
"Excuse me, Kakashi-sensei."
"Minor problem. But you're really unlucky, this kind of thing happens to you every three days. Kakashi laughed.
Natsume smiled reluctantly.
With his right hand, he took out the green friend's account and said, "Since I took over my grandmother's friend's account, I have known that there are some things that I can't control. These dangers are also issues to be faced. But I don't want to just give up. Fortunately, I have Cat-sensei and Kakashi-sensei by my side. ”
"What a fool." The cat teacher on the side said suddenly.
Kakashi smiled, but didn't speak.
Fujiwara family.
Aunt Tazi put down the phone, but there was still a worried look on her face.
"Tower, what's wrong?" Uncle Zi wondered.
"Zi, Guizhi said that he was going to spend the night at Teacher Qimu's house, wouldn't it be any danger?"
Uncle Zi smiled: "Don't worry, Guizhi himself is measured." And I've also met that Qimu teacher, who is a very reliable person, and there will be no problems. ”
"I hope so. Guizhi's kid does look very different from ordinary people. It seems to hurt a lot. ”
Uncle Zi seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "Yes." Before adopting Guishi, I also inquired about him. He is indeed different from ordinary people. I once heard that he seemed to be able to see youkai. ”
"See youkai? Isn't that true? Aunt Tazi was surprised.
Uncle Zi shook his head and said, "I don't know. But no matter what, now that Guizhi is in our house, we should protect him. ”
"I understand. It's just that I'm a little worried. ”
"Tazi, if Takashi really has any secrets. Someday, he'll tell us. All we can do now is believe in Him. Takashi is a good boy. ”
Aunt Tazi nodded when she heard this, looked at Natsume's empty room, and sighed silently.
Guishi, what does the world look like in your eyes?
……
"I've found information about that youkai. It was an evil spirit that had been sealed away for a long time, and he used the mark to catch prey, gain energy, and from the current appearance, he only needed to devour one more person to be free. So, I don't think he'll let you go. ”
Qimu's family, C stated his findings.
"What a troublesome youkai." Kakashi laughed.
"Am I the last one?" Natsume said helplessly.
"Not bad. And it looks like the demon can't wait. You see, he's sent out a shadow to capture you. ”
C said, gesturing to the dark shadow outside the door.
It was the dark shadow of a human figure, without any face.
"This ......"
Natsume was taken aback, she hadn't noticed this thing just now.
"This shadow is slow, but as time goes on, he will strengthen himself with the vitality he absorbs from your body, and his speed will slowly increase."
"If that's the case, I'll just fix it." Kakashi said, standing up.
C shook his head and said, "A person without a mark can't touch that black shadow, no matter how powerful you are, it's useless." ”
Kakashi frowned, and a bolt of lightning in his right hand slammed into the black shadow.
The thunder light passed through the dark shadows, but it did not feel like it was touching the real thing.
"It's really getting more and more troublesome now." Kakashi whispered.
"All we can do now is to get through the remaining three days. Natsume, you must not be touched by the dark shadow, otherwise, you will die. C said as he took a puff of his cigarette.
"I see."
"I didn't expect it to turn into a game of hide and seek." Kakashi laughed.
"Hey, it's really unpleasant to feel like this is not active." Teacher Cat said disdainfully.
"Actually, it's not that there is no way to take the initiative." The raccoon on the side suddenly said.
"Huh? Tanuki Chase, what do you know? Kakashi asked.
"There is a Shikigami who specializes in dealing with demon shadows, and if you can summon it, you should be able to deal with him."
"Shikigami?" Natsume muttered.
"It works. However, summoning a god requires a certain amount of physical strength, and Natsume's current situation may be difficult to summon successfully. And even if it succeeds, it may not be a Shikigami who is strong enough to expel the demon shadow, it may just be a useless Shikigami. ”
C said.
Possessed by the Five Day Seal, Natsume's physical strength has indeed decreased a lot.
The body is already in a very tired state.
"No, I want to try. I don't want you to worry about me every time. I don't want to see you get hurt to protect me. This time, if I can solve it myself, I want to solve it myself. Natsume said firmly.
Everyone present was a little surprised.
Natsume, who looked weak, now has such an awareness.
Yes, he originally had the gentleness that he didn't want to involve others.
"This look is really similar to Reiko. Well, since you've said so, I'll tell you how to summon a god. However, in your current situation, you only have one chance, so take advantage of it. C said.
Kakashi patted Natsume on the shoulder and smiled, "Then let's do our best." ”
"Hmm!"
Natsume nodded vigorously, with a resolute expression.
Seeing this, the cat teacher chuckled.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
The demon shadow is presented.
In the middle of the forest, Natsume stood quietly in place.
C took out a scroll and handed it to Natsume.
"Natsume, this is the scroll of the summoning god, and you can follow the method I said later."
"Thank you, C."
Natsume took the scroll and exhaled softly.
Kakashi looked at the scroll thoughtfully.
This scroll looks more like a psychic scroll.
This world seems to be in the dark, and there is a trace of involvement with the world of the Hokage.
