"Huh?"

Luo Zhen, Natsume, Chunhu, and Dong'er all stopped their steps to move forward, turned around, and looked at the source of the voice that stopped them.

There, a mediocre-looking man in a black suit, with sunglasses on his face, but no expression, stood in the middle of the crowd.

The people around didn't seem to notice that there was such a person here, and they were directly startled and subconsciously stayed away.

This reaction is almost unconscious.

This is not only because the other party is wearing a suit that is very out of place at the festival but quietly appears, but also because the opponent is not half angry, like a dead man, which makes people feel rejected from the heart.

Even Chunhu couldn't help but hesitate, and then he didn't hesitate.

"You... Are you calling us? ”

Chunhu asked.

However...

"Spring Tiger."

Dong'er called out to Chunhu, and his voice was full of severity and sinisterness, which startled Chunhu.

But even so, Dong'er still tightened her face, grabbed Chunhu's collar, dragged him to her side, and took a step back.

"Winter... Dong'er? ”

Chunhu was a little overwhelmed.

"Come with me, don't approach him."

Dong'er couldn't help but say this, keeping Chunhu away from each other, leaving only Luo Zhen and Natsume still in place.

It's just that although the two didn't retreat, their attention was all focused on each other.

The reason is simple.

"Shikigami..."

Natsume whispered the identity of the other party.

Yes.

The man in front of him is not a human, but Shikigami.

This is not only because the other party does not behave like a human, but in the eyes of a person with a ghostly spell, the other party also does not have the aura that a human should have.

Therefore, the other party can only be Shikigami.

"Natsume."

Luo Zhen gestured to Natsume.

"Hmm."

Natsume nodded solemnly, and finally took a step back, but he stood in front of Chunhu and Dong'er, looking ready to protect them.

In fact, Natsume is indeed preparing to protect the spring tiger and the winter child.

After all, among the people present, only Chunhu and Dong'er were ordinary people, and they had no ability to confront Shishen at all.

No, it's not just Spring Tiger and Dong'er, all the people around who come to participate in the festival are just ordinary people.

In such a situation, if the other party suddenly makes trouble, you can imagine how much tragedy it will cause.

Other words...

"Is that telling us not to act rashly?"

Luo Zhen muttered as if talking to himself, and as if sarcastically muttering to the other party.

But the Shikigami on the other side was unmoved.

"Sorry to scare you."

Shikigami said such things in a tone that did not make people feel apologetic in the slightest.

"Actually, I was instructed by my master to be looking for someone."

Who?

"Autumn view."

Shikami's gaze turned to Chunhu and said so.

"I did hear your name just now."

In other words, the other party heard Chunhu mention the name of the target person on the way to find it, so he suddenly spoke out and stopped everyone.

The other party's goal is about to come out here.

"May I ask which of you is the Tsuchigomon Autumn Temple?"

Shikigami asked.

The other party's target is Luo Zhen.

In this regard, Luo Zhen was not surprised at all, Natsume also condensed his face as if confirmed, and even Chunhu and Dong'er were silent as if they were holding their breath.

"Looking for me?"

Luo Zhen admitted it very simply.

"I'm the Earth Imperial Gate Autumn View."

As soon as these words came out, Shishen's eyes suddenly stared at Luo Zhen.

It's like seeing the target person appear, and there is no longer anyone else in his eyes.

Then, the other party said so.

"My master wants to see you."

Shikigami so requested.

"I wonder if I can delay you a little?"

The other party said so.

Obviously, even if the words seem so respectful, the other party's request is still not allowed to be refused.

This can be seen from the fact that the other party ignored everyone around him, stared at Luo Zhen tightly, and looked unwilling to compromise.

Luo Zhen could also think that once he refused, the other party was likely to attack on the spot.

At that time, regardless of himself and Natsume, the people around him, as well as Chunhu and Dong'er, may be affected and injured.

Of course, Luo Zhen also guessed this development, otherwise it would not be so ironic.

Thereupon...

"Yes." Luo Zhen said very simply again: "Lead the way." ”

"Yes." Shikigami bowed.

"Autumn view!" Only then did Chunhu let out a cry as if sensing the seriousness of the matter.

"Hmph." Dong'er snorted coldly, but a happy smile appeared on her face, as if she was enjoying the chaotic situation.

In a situation like this...

"Brother, Dong'er, you leave first."

Natsume's gaze didn't leave each other, and he spoke to Chunhu and Dong'er behind him.

"I don't know if anything dangerous will happen next, so please don't come along."

Natsume commanded.

"How does this work...!?"

Chunhu subconsciously shouted.

However, a hand pressed down on Chunhu's shoulder.

"Well, don't be so willful, Chunhu." Dong'er pressed Chunhu's shoulder, but the smile on his face did not disappear, and said: "The next thing is the world of the Onmyoji adults, and it is better for ordinary people like us to hide obediently." ”

"Dong'er..."Chunhu looked at Dong'er, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Luo Zhen spoke.

"Don't worry." Luo Zhen said very casually: "It's over soon, you go and occupy a seat first, and see if we can catch up with the fireworks later." ”

Relaxed and casual attitude, as if not to put the other party in the eyes.

Fortunately, the other party was just Shikishen, ignoring Luo Zhen's performance, and quietly waiting for Luo Zhen to leave.

"Spring Tiger."

Dong'er's hand on Chunhu's shoulder began to exert force.

“...... Let's go. ”

Chunhu's expression showed a hint of struggle, and his fists clenched, and after a while, he was unwilling to make this decision.

The two of them just turned around and left the place.

Among them, Dong'er walked without hesitation, and Chunhu turned back several times and finally ran.

It didn't take long for the two to blend into the crowd and disappear.

"Autumn view."

Natsume then walked back to Luo Zhen's side, ready to advance and retreat with him.

"Let's go."

Luo Zhen didn't say anything about this, just said this to the other party's Shikami.

"Please."

Shikigami turned sideways, turned in one direction, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of invitation.

Luo Zhen raised his steps and walked forward.

Of course, Natsume also followed silently, and as a god, he followed half a step away from Luo Zhen, and the horse was looking forward.

The two of them left here together, led by the unknown Shikigami.

No one noticed at all that in such a festival in the countryside, the world belonging to the Onmyoji quietly appeared.
