The world is restarting

All the attacking arms were blocked by the young demon expelling master. His movements were so fast that people could not even see what weapon he was using.But there seemed to be an endless stream of pale dead hands, and if one was cut off, another would immediately be replaced, and the situation fell into a stalemate.

Sawada Ya touched the crystal bracelet on his right wrist, and frowned delicately looking at this scene.

Something was not right, she vaguely sensed.

Guaitan is not so much a monster, it is more like a supernatural phenomenon.But even "phenomena" have a central subject, such as Hanako in the toilet, the running mannequin, the monster perched on the back of the No. 13 steps...

It is because of the existence of this subject that ghost stories are produced. In most cases, the subject has self-awareness and is able to communicate, which is not much different from normal monsters.

But the weird talk in front of me is not.It has no consciousness and cannot communicate. It only knows to attack anyone who steps into its territory, just like a program that has been deliberately modified.

The pale arms like water snakes were temporarily blocked by the source light on the steps, and the smell of blood and rancidity accumulated in the air.

Of course this stalemate is not an option, Yuan Guang asked without looking back, "How about you young man, what are you going to do?"

He seemed to see the smartest person among the few at a glance, and he found Conan exactly.

Edogawa Conan, who was named, glanced across the battlefield to the bottom of the stairs, and Genta and Haibara Ai fainted at some point.They held the main hatred here, and "No.13 Staircase" didn't take care of that side for the time being.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head, and glanced sharply at the top of his head, "Need to say? Since it is the core, it must be hidden in the deepest part of that space, right? You can just go in and get it."

Yuan Guang: "Okay, let's go!"

Conan: "...You answer so quickly, I always feel like you're betraying me."

Having said that, he let go of Ze Tianya's hand without hesitation, "Zawa Tian, ​​wait for me here."

As soon as Ze Tianya came back to her senses, she saw that they had already decided on their own. She was slightly taken aback, and looked at him a little helplessly.Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something, showing a puzzled look, and turned his gaze to the ground.

At this time, Xiang Riyue who was on the side quickly reacted, "Wait, you want to go in? Go in there?!"

After he was rescued, he shrank obediently and didn't dare to cause trouble to the bosses. Hearing this, he finally couldn't help it, "Have you ever thought about what's over there?!"

Edogawa Conan: "You can't waste money here, this is the only way."

Xiang Ri: "But..."

He looked at the pale arm that seemed to be protruding from hell, and at the person in front of him calmly preparing to step forward, his eyes almost popped out.He trembled and trembled, and finally gritted his teeth and stood up, "No, I can't let you go as a child. I was the one who brought this up first, so let me..."

"Children" Edogawa Conan: "...You should stay here, I have a sense of proportion."

Xiang Riyue grabbed him desperately, "I don't believe it! You are two years younger than me, how can I let you go, you will definitely be ridiculed by Yushi in the future!"

Edogawa Conan: "..."

Is it too late to take out his "Kudo Shinichi" ID card now?

The two were in a stalemate when Conan was suddenly pulled back by Lori behind him.

"That," she said hesitantly, staring at the mud, "I don't think you need to argue, Naruto has already gone..."

Edogawa, Xiangri, and Yuanguang, who was still entangled with the arms, were startled at the same time.

In the next second, black flames shot up into the sky.

Black flames full of strong ominous and evil aura emerged from the mud, burned all the way against the wall, and circled around the three of them.

The shadow of a huge, nine-tailed fox gradually became clear in the air.It circled all three of them with its big fluffy tail, then raised its head, roared and opened its mouth towards the crack on top of its head.

A black spot of light lit up between its sharp teeth, and it grew bigger and bigger as it rotated at a high speed, and finally shot out like a light cannon, smashing countless white hands, and rushing into the other world through the crack.

It was as if a magnitude [-] earthquake had erupted in the space, and Sawada Yaji and the others were shaken so that they all fell into the big, furry tail of Nine Tails.

A roar that almost deafened people's ears sounded in the void, and an angry and terrified voice was caught in the roar, like a kite with a broken string, which lasted only half a second before disappearing abruptly.

When Sawada regained consciousness in a daze, she was being supported by Conan and Genguang on the left and right.The huge nine-tailed fox disappeared at some point, and they fell to the ground, staring blankly at the ground in front of them.

In the speechless eyes of the four people, the little fox Naruto turned his head and scratched his cheek with his hind paw in embarrassment...then hiccupped.

10 minute later.

"Let me introduce you solemnly." The silver-haired little girl sat in front of everyone and said seriously, "This is my younger brother."

Yuanguang: "..."

Conan: "..."

Xiang Riyue: "..."

There was a wordless silence, and two of the above three with stronger endurance spoke at the same time.

Yuan Guang: "...So he swallowed No. [-]?"

Conan: "...so he is really Naruto?"

After speaking in unison, the two looked at each other in confusion.

Sawada Ya nodded and replied in unison, "Yes."

"..."

After another moment of silence, Conan took the lead in sorting out his thoughts, regaining his composure and trying to sort out the logic, "So, Naruto is a monster?"

Sawada Ya hugged her younger brother in a daze, "No, Naruto is a human being."

Yuan Guang, Conan, Xiang Riyue: "..."

You open your eyes and take a good look at the fox in your arms, and then tell me he is human? ? ?

The strange story that he swallowed just now will cry uncontrollably!

"It's only temporary." Sawada Ya patted his younger brother's head and explained seriously, "Naruto's soul temporarily resides in Foxnosuke, and it's not Naruto who just swallowed up the strange story, but Kurama."

"..."

Yuanguang and Conan understood each other.

Yuan Guang: "Nine Lamas is that Nine Tails just now?"

Conan: "So Foxnosuke has two souls, no, three?"

The two thought circuits diverged again and looked at each other again.

Sawada Ya first answered Genguang's question, "Yes."

Then he looked at Conan, "There are only two oh, Fox's soul is now in Naruto's body."

Yuan Guang, Conan, Xiang Riyue: "..."

Do all of you onmyojis know how to play like this?

Conan sighed, "In short, it's good that you know what's in your mind."

Immediately, he didn't seem to want to discuss this topic here, and his voice changed, "Speaking of which, who are you?"

So this time it was the turn of the other three to look at Yuan Guang at the same time.

The blond boy has a pretty baby face and wears a school uniform in the middle of the Ice Empire. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary high school student who is bright and sunny. Except for the guard hanging from his right ear, it is almost impossible to distinguish him from the Demon Exorcist. associated with such a profession.

However, according to his own statement, his entire family is demon extermination masters, with a long history that can be traced back to the Heianjing period.

"I came here to take a look because I heard that there was a strange talk in the elementary school." Yuan Guang rubbed the back of his head and smiled heartily, "Then I bumped into you haha..."

"……yes?"

After listening to his self-introduction, Conan glanced at him with vacant eyes, "So, you are familiar with ghost stories?"

Yuanguang: "That's right, that's right."

Conan: "Then what is the origin of the ghost story?"

Yuan Guang: "Huh?"

"Although you said that the thing that grants Kagedan special power is a possession of God, but the body of Kagedan, that is, the 'story' that constitutes Kagedan, was first created by humans, right?" Conan looked into his eyes calmly, "It's all stories. Why do only the Seven Mysteries have special powers, while the others published as novels and made into TV dramas don't have this power?"

"..." Yuan Guang looked at him and suddenly smiled, "Yes, young man, what do you think is the reason?"

Edogawa Conan: "Because of 'belief'?"

"Someone once explained the principle of illusion to me. He said that the essence of illusion is 'deception'. To deceive people's eyes, but also to deceive people's heart. As long as the other party takes what is presented as real, then the illusion will become into 'real'."

"It's the same with ghost stories, because someone believes it, so it can become 'true', right?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Xiang Riyueren's brain was overloaded with information and was still in the dark, Sawada Ya sat on the steps with his brother in his arms, looked at him, and then at Yuanguang.

The light in the corridor gradually dimmed with the passage of time, and the blond boy sat in the shadow, with half of his face hidden in the darkness.

Ze Tianya couldn't see his expression clearly, but felt that the other party's breath was a little strange for a moment.She tilted her head in doubt, and was about to investigate seriously, when Yuan Guang suddenly leaned forward and re-entered the light.

"...Papapapa, you are really amazing, young man." He applauded in surprise, his tone very sincere.

Sawada Ya's attention was distracted, she blinked, and said subconsciously, "Yes, it's the same as what Seimei explained to me."

People: "Huh?"

There was a brief pause in the scene.

Conan: "The 'Seimei' you mentioned doesn't mean..."

Yuan Guang: "Oh, what did that adult say?"

Sawada Ya was rubbing his stomach for his overfed brother, first nodded to Conan to confirm that it was the "Seimei" he guessed, and then thought about it.

"Seimei said that 'language' is a 'curse' that everyone can cast. When a story spreads among people, over time, more and more people believe it, and the things in the story gradually become Really. For example... Lord Taishan?"

She recalled Qingming's words, "In the beginning, there was no such thing as Taishan Fujun. It was just a power that existed between heaven and earth, without a name. But people sacrificed this power and called it' Taishan Fujun', so gradually, as the story of Taishan Fujun spread, the god of Taishan Fujun appeared in the world."

Her example was a bit big, and Conan and Yuanguang who listened to her words were rarely stunned for a moment.

Then she said something even more terrifying, "If one day, everyone forgets the story of Lord Taishan, then the god Lord Taishan will disappear. So, in the final analysis, the reason why Lord Taishan became Taishan Fujun, it is because people have cast a curse, and the shape of everything in this world is determined by the curse——Seimei said so."

Xiang Riyue's brain had just restarted when he heard this, and successfully froze again.

He looked to the left at Yuanguang who opened his eyes wide, and to the right at Edogawa who was thoughtful.

Xiang Riyue: "..."

Do you all understand?Why do I not understand at all?

Although I don't understand it, I somehow feel that what my friend said just now is very scary!

He touched his chest with lingering fear, to appease his remaining worldview, and just about to bring this topic up from the bottom of his heart, when Edo Chuan Ruo suddenly touched his chin, "...I have an idea."

Everyone: "?"

Edogawa Conan: "Just like Taishan Fujun, if everyone forgets that this god does not exist, he will disappear from the world; the same is true for ghost stories, right? When everyone thinks that the so-called ghost stories are just some time The illusion created by several special conditions is completely understandable, and there is no mysterious supernatural phenomenon, so will the strange talk disappear?"

Yuan Guang said hesitantly, "Theoretically... that's right."

Edogawa Conan: "That's easy."

Everyone: "???"

"To put it simply." He continued to explain calmly, "It is very difficult to find the truth in the spiritual world to prove the ghost story to the public, but it is very simple to create a 'truth' to prove the ghost story is false, right?"

Everyone: "!!!"

I never thought that there would be such a way of thinking... You really dare to think about it, young man!

Sawada Ya and Yuanguang were stunned.

Xiang Riyue closed his jaw dumbly.

Every day, I feel that my friends are surrounded by big bosses, and I am the only younger brother.
