That was an unknown hut far from Yoto.
The hut was not only located in a remote area, but the surrounding area was also deserted. Very few people passed by. It was not easy to even see a complete road. It was the kind of hut that was inconvenient to live in, but it would be a pity to abandon it, so the owner would rent it out cheaply.
Now, this hut was temporarily requisitioned by outsiders. Not only was there a barrier that was invisible to the general public, but there were also some curses at work to drive people away.
At this time, in a room of this hut, two girls were lying on the quilt on the tatami.
"Woo …"
With a vague voice, Natsume slowly woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes, and saw the ceiling.
"I …"
Natsume stared at the ceiling blankly, as if he hadn't completely woken up yet. He struggled to get up and shook his head, feeling a little lost.
"I … where am I?"
Obviously, Natsume didn't realize what happened.
So, Natsume began to get rid of his sleepiness and tried to recall.
Gradually, Natsume finally recovered his memory from his mind.
"That's right! I was arrested by Yin-Yang Hall! "
Natsume suddenly widened his eyes and recalled everything.
"I remember that Akikan's ritual almost caused a great spiritual disaster, so the Nightmare Bureau arrested us and took us to Yin-Yang Hall."
After arriving at the Yin-Yang Hall, the other party took Natsume and Suzuka to the interrogation room of the Curse Search Department for the reason that they couldn't let their Shikigami stay with Rozen.
In the process, Natsume saw Amami Odai, who had the name of Kamisuke. He also saw Amami Odai quarreling with Suzuka. Later, there was a commotion in Yin-Yang Hall, which made Amami Odai's face change, and he left the interrogation room.
Under such circumstances, Natsume and Suzuka had been staying in the interrogation room. Because they were wearing spells that blocked spiritual power and there was a high-level enchantment in the interrogation room, neither of them could get in touch with Rozen. They could only vaguely sense each other's existence.
After that, for some reason, the door to the interrogation room opened.
Then, a person walked in from outside the door, and Natsume could not help but be stunned.
"Brother!"
It was Spring Tiger.
When Chun Hu arrived at the interrogation room, he ignored Suzuka's surprised expression and looked at Natsume. His eyes revealed some joy, but also a lot of sadness. He then murmured in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, Natsume."
After leaving these words, Spring Tiger chanted something in a low voice, causing Natsume and Suzuka's vision to spin before they lost consciousness.
Now that he thought about it, how could Natsume not know what had happened?
"Brother used a curse on me …?"
Natsume murmured in disbelief.
There was no other way.
According to Xia Mu's knowledge, her brother Chun Hu was an ordinary person who had no fate with incantation techniques. Not to mention using incantation techniques, he couldn't even see spiritual energy. Without the ability to see ghosts, how could he do such a thing?
"Am I dreaming?"
Natsume could not help but think so.
However …
"If you want to daydream, I have no problem with it. But I definitely won't be in your dream, so quickly accept reality, stupid woman."
As such a venomous voice came from the side, only then did Natsume react. She quickly turned her head and looked to the side.
There, Suzuka had also woken up. She was sitting on the bed and did not look at Natsume. Her expression was also very cold, but she seemed to have quickly grasped the situation.
"We're not in the Yin Yang Hall now, right?" Suzuka glanced at Natsume and said, "Could it be that stupid guy who suddenly appeared before we fell asleep saved us?"
"I … I don't know either." Natsume was a little confused and said, "Where is this place, and what's the situation now, I don't know at all."
"Is that so?" Suzuka replied indifferently, "It's fine if you don't know, but since we're here, where is the idiot who caused us to be captured?"
Suzuka's words finally made Natsume remember the most important thing.
"Qiu Guan …!"
Natsume immediately focused his consciousness on the back of his hand.
There were runes formed by the three interlocking rings that Rozen left behind when he made the contract with Rozen's Spirit-branded Retainer.
As long as he focused his consciousness on it, he could strengthen the spiritual connection with Rozen and feel Rozen's existence.
Now that the sealing spell on his body had been removed, he should be able to feel the existence of the contract, right?
Natsume thought so and focused his consciousness on the contract on the back of his hand.
However, just as Natsume was about to do so, Suzuka spoke up first.
"It's useless, I've just tried it, and it's still as vague as before." Suzuka curled his lips and said, "There seems to be a barrier set up around here, and it's of a very high level. It should be the kind that's specially designed to deceive people, so even if the connection of spiritual power is not isolated, it should be weakened a lot."
Just as Suzuka said.
After focusing his consciousness on the contract, Natsume immediately felt a vague connection.
Although this connection was not as vague as it was in the Yin Yang Hall, it should be because the spell tools on his body had been removed, but it was not as clear as usual.
But …
"At least I can confirm that it's safe over there, and Yin Yang Hall didn't do anything to him. He probably escaped, right?"
Suzuka said this in an indifferent tone, but it made Natsume feel a little relieved.
In any case, since Rozen was safe and seemed to have come out of Yin Yang Hall, then with his ability, he would be safe no matter how bad it was.
Even if there were still some worries, it was better to figure out the situation first.
"Then now we …"
At that moment, Natsume wanted to say something to Suzuka.
But before that …
"Oh, have you woken up?"
A happy voice came from outside the door, causing Natsume and Suzuka to be shocked at the same time. They hurriedly turned their heads and looked at the source of the voice.
In the next second, Natsume saw a very familiar person.
"Mom!"
It was Qian He of the Earth Imperial Sect.
"You finally woke up, Natsume."
Qian He of the Earth Imperial Sect spoke with relief and happiness.
Beside her was Qian He's husband of the Earth Imperial Sect.
"It's good that you're awake. In order to help you two dispel the curse, I also spent a lot of effort."
Ying Kuan of the Earth Imperial Sect also greeted Natsume and Suzuka with a steady smile.
In addition, there was another person who appeared here.
"You should be eager to know what happened, right?"
Taichun of the Earth Imperial Sect looked at Natsume and Suzuka with a complicated look in his eyes, but he still spoke expressionlessly.
"Come to the hall, I will explain everything to you."
