Seeing Ishihara Hiiragi coming in, Yukino finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, Ishihara-sama, you are finally back!" She hurried to help Ishihara Hiiragi who was struggling to take off his coat with one arm alone, and said worriedly: " I thought we would see you again, Ishihara-sama, three years later!"

"It won't take that long..."

"Shenyin is not a joke!" Yukino seriously refuted Ishihara Hiiragi's words: "Ishihara-sama should wait for me to come back and figure out a solution together!"

After Yuki came back with Guizhi after shopping, she heard from Conan that Ishihara Hiiragi went to find a missing friend. When she asked why the person disappeared, she was more than shocked.

"Fortunately, it's the god's recluse at the time of encountering the devil. It's not the theory of the gods. It's probably the ghost, the kind of guy who will become a god immediately. If it's in a shrine or something, Ishihara-sama, you can go there Tianxiahai is omnipotent, and there is no way to escape from there."

Ishihara Hiiragi didn't say a word, but Yukino made a rough guess of what happened.

After all, he is still a monster, he is much clearer about these things than Ishihara Hiiragi.

"The ending is not bad, Xuenv, you don't want to—"

"Master Ishihara!" Hearing that Hiiragi Ishihara was still so careless, she immediately became angry: "I want you to be more considerate, do you know how afraid Takashi is that you will never return? No matter what you say, you can be regarded as his father, Master Shi Yuan..."

Yukino couldn't continue talking, because Natsume Takashi had already run over from the side, grabbing her arm and hoping she would stop talking.

Ishihara Hiiragi looked at Natsume's unwillingness to lift his head, and squatted down apologetically. During this period of time, he was in trouble almost every day, and he might have really ignored the child's feelings.Although the child seemed to be more cheerful all the time, after he comforted him, he didn't seem to care, so he also...

"Forget it, it's late today, Natsume has to go to school tomorrow, anyway, Ishihara has returned safely, let's talk about it tomorrow." Seeing this, Conan hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, Haibara rubbed his eyes , nodded: "Children's bodies can't bear the slightest bit of fatigue from staying up all night."

In the end, Yukino took Kishi upstairs to rest first, Haibara also left first, only Conan was very interested in this matter, and wanted to hear what Ishihara had to say before leaving.

"It's like a monster like a roadblock. It has built a small village inside its body, and there are some monsters who think they are human beings living in it... The speed of time is different from the outside, and there is nothing else." Ishihara Hiiragi and him Sitting on the sofa together: "It's just the missing person, he played basketball there after he went there, really..."

After hearing this, Conan was also full of black lines, playing basketball?Is there anyone in the world who can be so calm?

"But... I did ignore Kishi's mood this time." Ishihara Hiiragi was rather depressed. When he brought Kishi home, he thought very seriously about taking good care of this child.However, the recent series of events have given him some headaches, and he always feels a little anxious, a little bit of a feeling that he can't look after his head but not his tail.

"Takashi didn't have that kind of outgoing and cheerful personality at school." Conan reminded.

Of course Ishihara Hiiragi knew, "Takashi used to have the kind of physique that would be attacked by monsters, plus he could see monsters since he was a child, not to mention living a life of being dependent on others... I shouldn't forget these things."

How can a person's personality change so easily? Guizhi's previous experience is destined to be more cautious in his future life. It would be great if he realized this earlier.

Ishihara Hiiragi glanced at Conan, raised his hand and pinched the other's cheek: You have to pay half of the responsibility, if it wasn't for the fact that I have been thinking about you recently...

Conan looked at him puzzled, half of his face was kneaded like a bun.

"I will pay more attention to Takashi in the future. You have to get up early tomorrow. Is it too late to go back now? Why don't you just sleep at my house." Ishihara Hiiragi said, his eyes were quite expectant, but Conan didn't pay attention at all Seeing this kind of expectation, he simply shook his head: "Don't bother you, I told Xiaolan that I'm going to Dr. Li's house."

Ishihara Hiiragi snorted, and didn't keep Conan, but he also sent him to the path of Dr. Ali's house.He watched him enter the door of Dr. Ali's house at the intersection, and the smile on his face finally disappeared.

"Xiao Lan..."

He knew the girl, kind, beautiful, ordinary girl.

She and Conan are childhood sweethearts, so it sounds like a good couple.

But there is nothing to do now.Ishihara Hiiragi yawned, his spirit has been tense recently, he should go home quickly and get some sleep.There is also the matter of Guizhi, no matter how he is, he is a child who has decided to take good care of him, and he will not be the same as recently. If he makes the mistakes he made again in the future, he will look down on himself.

However, luck has not been very good recently, so I might as well go to a shrine or temple to worship...

Ishihara Hiiragi was thinking about it when a sudden cry of a child caught his attention.

In the middle of the night, could it be that the parents of some family are beating the bear child?But when Ishihara Hiiragi listened carefully, he found that there was something wrong with the sound. It seemed to be a very special existence. Both ears could catch the sound, but he couldn't determine the distance or direction at all.

Ishihara Hiiragi raised his foot and went home.

It's better to keep curiosity in check these days.

But what Ishihara Hiiragi didn't expect was that before Ishihara Hiiragi returned home, Yukino ran down in a hurry and said to him anxiously: "Master Ishihara, Takashi has been talking in sleep, no matter how you shout, you can't get rid of it." He yelled to wake up!"

Ishihara Hiiragi was stunned, and immediately went upstairs with Yukino. When Ishihara Hiiragi saw Takashi, his condition was much worse than what Yukino said. He seemed to be talking in his sleep all the time.In his current situation, it was as if he had been caught by something. He screamed and struggled slightly, and was still in a cold sweat.

In the end what happened?

Ishihara Hiiragi looked around Kishi's house, but found nothing.It's not a monster, is it just Takashi having a nightmare?Ishihara Hiiragi didn't believe this conclusion, where would a nightmare make people behave like this?

Ishihara Hiiragi raised his hand and carefully touched Kishi's forehead.

Something seemed to leave, and Ishihara Hiiragi was wondering if he felt wrong, but Kishi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and got up from the bed directly, as if a drowning person returned to the air, exhausted greedily Breathe with all the strength in your body.

Ishihara Hiiragi hurriedly patted him on the back, he didn't know what effect it would have, but he did it subconsciously.

Natsume Takashi finally came back to his senses, he looked at everything familiar in the house, and at the familiar people around him, and burst into tears.

With a crying voice, he cried intermittently, Ishihara Hiiragi and Yukino listened carefully, and finally found the reason why Takashi was crying like this from a few words.

The two of them looked at Guizhi. Although they were frightened by the nightmare, young children couldn't stay up all night, and with familiar adults around, they fell asleep peacefully again in less than half an hour.Yukino and Ishihara Hiiragi stayed by Kishi's side for more than half an hour. He didn't seem to have any more nightmares, so he looked at each other and went downstairs quietly.

Ishihara Hiiragi said: "Takashi said he dreamed of a child crying to him, and asked him to stay with him all the time."

"It shouldn't be a child." Snow Maiden reminded, "It's definitely a monster!" She said it firmly, because ordinary humans have no way to influence another human child.Even if the other party might be an onmyoji who knows some spells, Ke Guizhi still wears the amulet of the Onmyoji Flower Blossom Academy on his body!

Since the Onmyoji family formed by the descendants of Abe Seimei was completely wiped out, although they have been attacked by monsters, the Kakaiin family is still the oldest and most powerful Onmyoji family.

Which onmyoji would have such a skill?

"Can't the amulet protect Takashi?" Ishihara Hiiragi also remembered that he once gave Takashi an amulet and told him not to leave his body.

"If it is an ordinary monster, there is no problem, but from the appearance of Kishi, it is very likely that he is linked to another monster's dream. It is also possible that Kishi lost his way in the dream and ran away for some reason. I went to another monster’s dream.” Yukino explained: “The things in the dream, unless Takashi wakes up by himself, otherwise…”

Ishihara Hiiragi understood that this incident was not within the jurisdiction of the amulet.

"However, when Guizhi talked about crying, when I sent Conan home just now, I also heard a cry of a child. It was very strange. I could hear it clearly, but I couldn't tell the distance or direction. I don't know if it has anything to do with Natsume."

But neither of them could come up with a one, two, three.

Ishihara Hiiragi and Yukino fell asleep in the middle of the night, but the darkness in the room only lasted for 10 minutes, and they got up from the bed in an instant.Xuenv found Shi Yuan first, she widened her eyes, looked at the person who got up for some reason, and asked, "Master Shi Yuan..."

"I dreamed of a child... no, it was a monster that looked like a child, crying and saying don't leave him."

In that dream, there was darkness, only a few candles that seemed to be going out soon were struggling to maintain the only light.Some ghosts with green faces and long fangs would fly by from time to time, and even said that they would turn around suddenly and pinch their own necks with their clawed hands.

Then Ishihara Hiiragi kicked the monster away.

Continue walking towards the bright Xinxin, and you can see a wooden stake firmly inserted into the ground, and an iron chain is tied to the wooden stake, and what the iron chain is tied to is a monster like a child.

There is almost no big difference between the dream of Yukino and Ishihara Hiiragi.

"That wooden stake... I've seen it in Kyoto before. The spiral seal that seals the feathered fox and the cloth is probably what it looks like."

Snow Maiden's complexion is a bit bad, could it be Yu Yihu's subordinate this time?

"If it can't be solved..." Xuenv murmured, with snow fluttering all over her body.

No one can bear to sleep in the future and suddenly dream about that kind of weird thing!

Although Ishihara Hiiragi and Yukino knew that they both had the same dream, no one knew exactly what happened.

Ishihara Hiiragi could only suggest: "How about...let's go to sleep again. Maybe we can go to that monster's dream. I also want to ask him if Takashi's nightmare is the same as ours."

They didn't have any good solution for a while, so they could only do this.

Fortunately, probably had a nightmare back and forth, was woken up, and continued to find a way to fall asleep. After repeating this cycle several times, Ishihara Hiiragi and Yukino finally got the address of the monster and some things that they didn't understand. The little monster figured it out.

After Xuenv knew the identity of the little monster, she agreed to rescue him without saying a word.

Ishihara Hiiragi didn't have any objections, but this time he didn't plan to go alone, or he and Yukino alone, but asked for a leave of absence from Kishi's school.

The mistake he made, he didn't want to make it a second time.

He secretly pressed Guizhi's alarm, and after Guizhi hurried downstairs, he told him with a smile that they were going to deal with something related to monsters together today.

Natsume Takashi didn't know why until he got on the bus.

However, Ishihara Hiiragi and Yukino didn't sleep well at night. As soon as they got in the car, they immediately squinted their eyes. They weren't really asleep, but at least they could rest for a while.

Natsume Takashi hid his confusion and doubts in his heart, and he hesitated to ask the two of them what happened after getting off the car.

Ishihara Hiiragi first told him about his nightmare last night and woke up crying, Natsume Takashi blushed immediately, and he immediately wanted to explain this shameful thing to the past: "That is..."

Shi Yuan thought the child was wondering, so he said, "That's the work of monsters."

Natsume Takashi was confused, didn't he just have a nightmare, how did he get involved with monsters?

Xue Nu suddenly pointed to a house and said, "This is it!"

Ishihara Hiiragi and Natsume looked over together, and couldn't help but be slightly amazed, for nothing else, this place is really too luxurious.

"The land nearby seems to be the private land of this family." Xuenv walked around the area and said with emotion: "When the Nuliang group was at its strongest, they were not so rich." Xuenv raised her sleeves , blocked his mouth, as if to prevent the cold from coming out of his mouth uncontrollably.

"But this way, we can be sure that Zashiki warji must be somewhere in this house."

"Zashiki boy?"

Natsume Takashi asked curiously, "Is it the kid-like monster mentioned in the story?"

Zashiki Boys are monsters who bring happiness to people, and most of them are children under ten years old.Perhaps it was because he suffered too much misfortune before death, so he didn't want others to be like himself. After becoming a monster, he had the ability to bring good luck to others.Although it is a monster, it exists like a guardian deity.

However, Zashiki Warji, who is too weak, is also said to be imprisoned at home.

"Yesterday after you fell asleep, Guizhi, Master Ishihara and I also dreamed about that monster." Xue Nu said, "We thought it was some kind of monster, but it turned out..."

But he was a zashiki boy who had been imprisoned at home for an unknown number of years.

"Too much!" Natsume Takashi shouted in disbelief, "This is revenge!"

Ishihara Hiiragi nodded, held his hand, and smiled: "So there will probably be a little guest at home, I wonder if you would like it, Takashi?"

Natsume Takashi nodded fiercely.

——Under the mansion.

If the lights were not turned on, at first glance, everyone would think it was a dungeon.Iron railings separate the people inside and outside, and there are countless surveillance cameras. Even the way from the upstairs to here is a dark staircase that can only accommodate one person.

But when the lights are turned on and the scene inside the railing is seen, people will start to doubt their previous guesses.

How could this be a dungeon?

Inside, it is covered with tatami mats. On top of the tatami mats, there are large beds, bookcases filled with all kinds of comics that children love to read, game consoles, snacks, and countless exquisite toys scattered on the ground at will.

Apart from being unable to come out, the life inside is definitely much more luxurious than the children of ordinary families.

But living here means losing freedom.

The zashiki boy in the center looked at the decorative window—it was not opened, but a window was installed on the wall, and then a layer of landscape wallpaper was pasted on the wall.

There are many more windows like this one in this 'room'.But every time I helplessly raise my arms and want to walk over, before I feel the false hope, I already understand what despair is.

Around her neck, there is a collar that looks like a dog.

Although it is extremely beautifully made, it is even inlaid with gems.But no matter how gorgeous and expensive it is, it can't change the chain that connects this collar to this one, which is the iron chain that takes her freedom away.

Whenever she stood up, the chains would make a warning sound.

You don't have any freedom.

You have lost your freedom.

Therefore, Zashiki Doji will sit here quietly all day long.

She doesn't know how long she has been here.

I don't know how long it will continue like this.

The one who came to deliver those exquisite dishes today is the eldest lady of this family.There is an unwritten rule in this family that the person who brings her meals must be the oldest child of a certain generation.Say yes, out of respect for her.

The eldest lady didn't change her expression, she knelt outside the door respectfully, then opened a small hole in the iron prison, and pushed all the tableware into the iron bars.

Then leave.

Why is this so?

Zashiki Warji didn't move, looking at the woman's face with fine lines at the corners of her eyes in a daze.She is the most like that person, although she is a woman, but the eyebrows, the habit of pursing the corners of the mouth, are very similar to her.

That man was the reason she wanted to stay here in the first place.

Obviously, he is such a gentle person.

Zashiki-douji didn't eat, and after waiting for a while, the woman also went out.

Zashiki Warji lowered her head, she actually didn't need to eat.But the man who found her regarded himself as a lost child, gently hugged her in his arms, and fed him his own food bit by bit.

Obviously at that time, he couldn't even eat enough.

Then he knew that he was a monster, he knew that he was a zashiki warji, but he never behaved strangely, even when he was dying, he told himself to leave here.

She couldn't leave.

She is nostalgic for the man who gave her tenderness, for everything she has spent with him, and for the memories of these two people.

She couldn't leave.

Then, he was kept locked underground where the sun could never be seen again.

Does she hate it?

How can you not hate? !

Whenever the iron chain makes a crisp sound, she can't wait to chew up even the bones of the guy who set a seal and locked herself here!In the dream at night, when she could no longer see the memories with that person, only darkness and fear, and freedom that could not escape, she hated herself for being weak, if she had strong power, she would definitely let this place Razed to the ground!

However, she didn't want to be like that.

If he becomes that kind of monster, he will be very sad.

Even if all she could do was cry in her dreams, she didn't want to become such a monster.

Zashiki Doji didn't look at the food on the ground, even though it was his favorite food.

It was so quiet here that she forgot the time, the sunset and moonrise, and the scenery outside.But the only sound that can be made here, except for the family members walking on the stone road, is the sound of the iron chains around their necks colliding with each other.

Only this, she didn't want to hear.

As if to tarnish the same voice as his own and his memories.

"Master Ishihara! Kishi! It's probably near here, please be careful!"

"Do you want Guizhi to go alone first?"

Zashiki Warou, who was sitting in the dungeon, raised his head in surprise. Will an outsider come here?

The sound of messy footsteps seemed to hit her heart, and she looked at the only road leading to the outside without blinking her eyes. After a while, a child appeared there.

The child saw her, trotted over, and asked her, "Are you crying in your dream?"

He raised his immature hands and looked serious: "Do you want to leave here?"

Zashiki Doji opened his mouth, and instinctively extended his immature hand towards the child.

"Master Shi Yuan, please stay behind my Xuenv."

Xuenv's cold winter-like eyes swept over the surrounding humans who fell on the ground: "This kind of scum who is not even as good as a low-level monster, there is no need for me to show mercy!" The cold air was sent out from her mouth , she looked at the trembling human beings who couldn't hide their fright, and her anger kept rising.

Lord Ishihara and she have already broken the seal that is very similar to the spiral seal, and it is not as strong as Yuki Nu guessed, and it is even so weak that even she, who is a monster, can easily touch it.

The seal that seals Yuyihu and Qi's subordinates is untouchable even by Yuyihu and his party.Now that the seal is so weak, why can't Zashiki-douji escape from that house?

After that, Xue Nu understood.

Zashiki Doji has been imprisoned by this seal for at least a hundred years. She is not a monster known for strength. She has been unable to move for such a long time and cannot obtain the most basic things that monsters can survive. If she and Ishihara-sama are one step later... …

Zashiki warji will die.
