Natori Zhoujie felt that Natsume was really difficult to deal with.
If he hadn't done a simple background check, he would have suspected that Natsume was actually a descendant of a large family of demon hunters. No, he should be a great monster who transformed into a human form and lived in the human world.
The mystery surrounding him is so great that if it weren't for the fact that everything has a traceable origin, Natori Shuichi would find it hard to believe that Natsume is actually a human.
"I have a commission recently, maybe I can learn a lot from it. Do you want to give it a try?" Natori Zhoujie did not give up.
Natsume doesn't know how to eliminate demons, and neither does Xiangling. However, she tells Natsume, "Power is universal; it's just the forms of expression that differ. As long as it can be used to protect yourself, it's good power. Don't worry about the form of expression."
"No." Natsume refused again.
He is very busy, and once something happens, there will be a second time. If he helps this time, there will be a next time. It is not a particularly good choice for him to get involved in the affairs of the demon hunters.
He would feel that some monsters caused him trouble and distress, and even hated some bad monsters, but he still did not want to become a monster exorcist.
For him, exorcising demons is always just a matter of self-protection rather than a job.
Even when defending himself, he would only deal with those monsters that attacked him, rather than those that were attacked because he entered their territory.
Natori Zhoujie felt that Natsume was even more difficult to understand than the complicated hearts of those in the entertainment industry. Perhaps it was because he was overthinking things that he couldn't understand the boy's innocence. "Can you ask why?"
Natsume looked at Natori Shuichi innocently for a while, then said seriously, "Rejection doesn't really require a reason, does it?"
Natori Monday: ...
So straightforward! So cruel!
Natori Zhoujie exaggeratedly covered his chest and said, "I will be sad if you say that."
Natsume also knew that it might not be good to be so straightforward, but that was the truth. If he wanted to refuse, he could just refuse. What other reason could he have?
"If that's all you have to say, I'll leave." Natsume stood up and was about to leave.
Natori Zhousu hurriedly grabbed Natsume, and when Natsume turned around, he found something strange. The gecko tattoo on Natori Zhousu seemed to have swapped positions, from head up to head down.
Just as he was wondering if it was something drawn on, the tattoo crawled from Natori Shuichi's neck to his cheek right before his eyes.
Seeing Natsume's frightened look, Natori smiled and pointed at the gecko and said, "Great, you can see this too? This mole will run around inside my body.
When I was a child, I found a mole on my ankle. A few days later, I thought the mole had disappeared, but it unexpectedly appeared on my left arm. I felt something was wrong, so after investigating, I found out that it was a monster.
I did a lot of research to deal with this mole, but it was all self-taught.”
Only then did Natsume realize that the gecko in his eyes was just a mole in Natori Shuichi's eyes. Monsters are such magical creatures. People have different abilities, and the monsters they see appear in different forms.
"Does it have any effect on the body?" Things like curses and parasites appeared in Natsume's mind.
Natori smiled and waved his hands, jokingly saying, "It's weird because it doesn't exist. If it were eaten, it would be troublesome. But it's a bit lame to find out now..."
It would be better to know the consequences directly. It's so disgusting that it keeps crawling around in the body as if nothing happened.
Natsume looked at Natori Shuichi and couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
An unknown, unknown cost, unable to communicate or understand, a monster that only crawls around inside my body...
Has he been fighting against this anxiety and loneliness?
Looking at the still smiling Natori Zhouqi, he suddenly felt a little annoyed: "What's so funny about this?"
He was obviously very uneasy and in pain, but he expressed it in such light-hearted and nonchalant words.
"Master, who is this arrogant brat?" Natori Shuichi's Shikigami, Guaji, popped out from the ceiling upside down, controlling her long hair and trying to attack Natsume.
Natsume blocked it with his hand: "That's not very polite."
Natori Zhouyue looked at Guaji in confusion as she retracted her long hair that could be used as a weapon. This was not like Guaji's character.
Guaji was speechless. Natsume touched her lightly, and her hair seemed to be wrapped by some invisible force, unable to move forward any further. She even felt that she could be exorcised very easily, it all depended on whether the person opposite her wanted to or not.
"Sorry, Guaji, I'm being rude." Natori said on Monday.
"It's okay, but goodbye." Natsume didn't want to waste any more time here. She wanted to make amulets, write, go out with friends, take care of the flower beds, or do housework with Aunt Tazi. Anything would be fine, as long as she didn't have to stay here and guess what a man was thinking.
Watching Natsume leave, Natori followed him out: "Sorry, sorry, at least listen to what I have to say about the commission."
Natsume turned around and saw Natori Shuichi's puppy dog eyes: "...I won't fall for this trick."
"Really?" Natori Zhoujie continued to look at Natsume.
Finally, Natsume and Natori Shuichi sat in an antique building and listened to Natori Shuichi talk about this commission.
Although Natsume pretends to be unkind, he is actually not good at rejecting others.
"This time, it's a commission from a certain family. They have a warehouse that can't be opened. It's said that if you open it, you'll be cursed.
However, due to financial difficulties, the pawnshop owner opened the warehouse to search for valuables with the homeowner. As a result, the pawnshop owner, who opened the warehouse, suffered nightmares every night, suffering from accidents and many unlucky events. Natori Shuichi slowly explained the background of this commission.
