Natsume Takashi had come here accidentally.

After being abducted by the monster, he struggled with his arms and legs, punched the monster in the face, and took advantage of the monster's cry of pain to withdraw his hand, aiming at a certain place and running over.

In the dark,

He always felt it would be safe there.

It's like a sixth sense, and he can't explain why.

The panicked child didn't dare look back and just ran forward.

Thanks to so much training, his physical strength is very good.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he ran to the dilapidated gate of a shrine. He looked at the monster outside that was cursing but was blocked from entering by the barrier, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since I can't catch you, I'll just attack the humans around you."

The monster threatened with a grim grin.

"Don't you dare touch my father Jingguang!!!"

Seeing the child getting angry, the monster became more determined to capture another man to threaten the sweet child.

Little Natsume anxiously took steps to go outside.

"No one has come to this place for many years. I'm so bored."

A voice interrupted their conversation and successfully stopped Natsume's actions.

"Young man, do you need my help? I can help you drive that guy away, or kill it."

"Who are you?"

Little Natsume looked alert, and the big monster also heard it. He was stunned at first, then looked ferocious.

"Who are you? How dare you act so presumptuously in front of me? I will eat that guy along with you!"

"Oh? What kind of person dares to call himself grandpa in front of me?"

This time, Natsume finally determined the source of the sound.

It was a voice coming from a niche dedicated to gods not far from the shrine's gate. The voice was somewhat unfathomable, as if it was tempting people to commit a crime.

Even though little Natsume was still young, he was wary.

"Why should I trust you?"

"Little devil, you are helpless right now."

The voice said this quietly, but there was some impatience in its tone.

"How can I help you?"

Seeing the monster that couldn't get in was about to leave, I knew from his angry look that he was going to vent his anger on other people.

Fearing that his father Jingguang and his father Jingchi would beat him, little Natsume ran to the alcove anxiously.

I squatted down slightly and asked, "How can I help you? Will you save my father when you get out?"

"I will, kid!" The voice added a little more irritability and anxiety.

"No, young man, there is a wooden rope two meters behind you, just break it."

If the child runs away, he will have to wait for many years before someone can help him remove the seal. Besides, human cubs are the easiest to deceive.

Wait, this child's breath,

A bit familiar...

Seeing that the monster was about to leave, Natsume grabbed a stone and threw it at the monster without thinking too much.

The feeling of the stone hitting his body was not painful, but the monster felt insulted and turned around, standing outside the barrier and roaring at little Natsume angrily.

Then, without blinking, little Natsume walked towards the tattered hemp rope tied with a white cloth, picked up the gravel at his feet, and tried to cut the hemp rope.

At this moment, he would rather believe this unknown monster, even if it was a lie to deceive him, and he wanted to seize the opportunity.
