Chapter 172 The Mental Hospital That Is No Longer Human
"This is a long story," Natsume Seian said leisurely.
"Then let's get to the point." Wang Changsheng indicated that he wouldn't indulge you.
The cold wind was blowing hard that night, and he wanted to go back and rest for a while.
If Sakura wakes up from her coma and rushes over in the middle of the night, he'll have to be prepared.

Looking at the child's porcelain-white face, Natsume Seian's lips twitched, and then she said, "Although Asahi and I are half-siblings, we don't live together. Or rather, we used to live together, but we separated later..."
"Could you please get to the point?" Wang Changsheng glanced at Natsume Seian.
After chatting for so long, Wang Changsheng still had a pretty good impression of Natsume Seian. On the surface, this guy didn't seem like a bad person.
After being rebuffed by Wang Changsheng, Natsume Seiichi paused for a moment, then glared at the little brat with annoyance: "Even if I'm going to keep it short and to the point, I still need to explain the basic process to you clearly, so listen carefully! The more you interrupt me, the slower I'll speak!"
Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes at Xia Muqing, but didn't say anything more. Instead, he gestured for Xia Muqing to explain himself clearly.
Without Wang Changsheng's repeated interruptions, Natsume Seian quickly organized his thoughts.
"My mother is gone, so when Qianqian was little, I lived with her. The reason we separated was because Qianqian seemed to have some strange illness when she was little. She seemed to have gone crazy at that time, and no matter how many doctors we saw, it was no use."
"Later, I met a fortune teller. Unexpectedly, after seeing Qianqian, the fortune teller insisted that she was possessed by some evil spirit."
"Ever since I was a child, my father seems to have believed in these supernatural beliefs. He was already bothered by Qianqian's sudden change in personality, and with the fortune teller's explanation, he became even more certain that Qianqian must have been infected by something unclean."
"Later, my father disappeared with Qianqian for a while. Qianqian's mother and I had no idea where they went. However, one day, they suddenly came back. Amazingly, Qianqian also returned to her former well-behaved nature."
"My father only said that he took Qianqian to see a miracle doctor. Qianqian's mother did not believe in ghosts and gods at all. When she heard what my father said, she had some doubts, but since Qianqian had recovered, she did not think much about it. So did I."
"This thought will remain with me until after I die..."
At this point, Natsume Kiyoshi paused for a moment.
Wang Changsheng glanced at him: "What did you notice that's not right?"
Natsume Seian nodded: "That's right. Actually, ever since Asahi came back, I've felt that although she's regained her former personality, it's as if she's forgotten a lot of things. However, my father just said that it's a slight aftereffect of the treatment, and since it's really not a big deal, I didn't pay much attention to it."
"But after I died, as you know, it was Reiko who prevented my soul from being scattered."
Wang Changsheng interrupted Natsume Seian: "Wait a minute. After a person dies, even if they are not reincarnated, they should become an ordinary wandering ghost, right? Why did your soul dissipate?"
Wang Changsheng wasn't quite sure if this world had anything like an underworld.
I don't know what state a person is in after death, or where the soul goes.
But surely it shouldn't have been a case of the soul simply being scattered?
After all, he had seen ghosts before.
Since the Conan world appeared, Wang Changsheng felt that the power of this world seemed to have become even stronger. Conan dies so many people every day, their soul power must be of great use.
In conclusion, no matter what, after a person dies, their soul should not be scattered as Natsume Seiyasu said.
"This..." Natsume Seian paused for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know what world people go to after they die, or whether they are reincarnated. There was a reason why I was about to be completely destroyed."
"After I died, my soul has been wandering over my body. Although my relationship with my father has become somewhat strained in recent years because of Masaki, I am dead after all, and he couldn't possibly not come to my funeral. Asagi also came at that time."
"Perhaps I will enter the cycle of reincarnation later, but after seeing Qianqian, I saw a black shadow following behind her. It looked like a monster, but everyone else seemed to ignore it."
"The monster suddenly shifted its attention after seeing me; it seemed to want to eat me!"
As Natsume Seiyasu spoke, a hint of fear still lingered on his face.
"Later I fought it... I never thought I could still fight even after I died. Anyway, I didn't win in the end. Just as I was about to be devoured by that monster, Reiko appeared."
"She saved me and helped me become who I am today."
Wang Changsheng looked at Natsume Seian, his brows already furrowed tightly.
Not to mention the monsters and the like he described.
Since this Natsume family is related to Natsume Reiko, it seems only natural that they would be associated with monsters.
only……
"What do you mean by all this, and what does it have to do with the key and my magic book?" Wang Changsheng looked Natsume Seian up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Of course it's relevant!" Natsume Seian coughed, and what he was about to say was the important point.

"After Reiko saved me, I don't know what happened to that monster, it just disappeared. But that's not that important. What's important is that Reiko told me... Asahi is no longer Asahi."
Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng was startled: "What?! What do you mean by that?"
"Or rather, she is also Qianqian, only she is not the complete Qianqian," Natsume Seian added.
"..." Wang Changsheng narrowed his eyes. "Speak clearly if you have something to say."
"That's how it is." Natsume Seian sighed, then explained quietly, "Back then, Asahi wasn't sick, but was possessed by an evil spirit. My father didn't go to see a doctor, but an Onmyoji."
"It was that Onmyoji who helped my father remove the evil spirit from Qianqian's body. Later, for some reason, Lingzi told me that the evil spirit is now sealed in a mental hospital."
"Mental hospital?" Wang Changsheng was stunned.
"That's right." Natsume Seian nodded gently.
This puzzled Wang Changsheng.
Mental hospitals are not common places.
In this day and age, there are very few mental hospitals.
In Tomoeda Town, Wang Changsheng does not recall the existence of any mental hospital.
But it seems that Qianqian lives here.
Which mental hospital is that?
As if sensing Wang Changsheng's confusion, Natsume Seiyasu continued to explain to him, "That is a mental hospital that does not exist in this world."
"Huh?" Wang Changsheng tilted his head.
"Don't be surprised." Seeing the little kid's blank expression, Natsume Seian chuckled to himself. "I heard from Reiko that mental hospital is a place where you can enter unconsciously only by a very accidental chance."
"After the evil spirit was separated from Asahi's body by the Onmyoji, I don't know if the Onmyoji sent it there or what happened, but Reiko told me that Asahi's other half of her personality was sealed in a mental hospital along with the evil spirit, and it was extremely difficult to enter that mental hospital by her own will."
"Reiko said that a medium is needed, an ancient medium."
"So, the key you mentioned, the magic book in my hand?" Wang Changsheng glanced at Natsume Seian.
"Yes." Natsume Seian nodded. "To enter, or even find, that mental hospital, you need something extremely special as a medium to sense its existence. Otherwise, you can't even see it, let alone get in."
"So, the so-called key is actually an item containing powerful magic or special power?" Wang Changsheng's dark eyes gleamed with interest.
"...Maybe so, I'm not really sure either." Natsume Kiyoshi paused for a moment. "Reiko seems to have been in there. She told me that if Asahi continues like this, losing half of her personality, she might become somewhat dull-witted in the future, and there could also be significant hidden dangers."
Natsume Seiyasu added, "When you and that girl were dealing with Masaki's troubles, I also saw your magic book, that girl's staff, and those playing cards. They were all very unusual. With these things, there's a high probability that you can successfully enter that mental hospital."
"So you mean you want to go to that mental hospital and snatch Qianqian's other half of her soul and personality from that evil spirit?" Wang Changsheng stroked his chin.
"That's right, that's exactly it." Natsume Seian nodded, having given Wang Changsheng a general account of the whole incident.
"Now that Masaki's problem has been perfectly solved by you, I only have my sister as my only regret. So I want to ask you or that girl to help me open the door to the mental hospital."
"You don't need to go in. I can go in by myself. After so many days of reflection, I've accumulated some strength. I originally wanted to use that dead rabbit to help Masaki get rid of me, but now I understand that what Masaki is accomplishing is not only my ideal, but also hers."
"Seeing that Masaki can continue to live bravely, and that my wish has been fulfilled, and that you all happened to appear, I wanted to try to do this last thing for my sister."
"...Why does it sound so dramatic? Are you planning to pull off this job and then just stomp on your own two feet and ascend to heaven on the spot?" Wang Changsheng gave Natsume Seian a strange look. "Didn't you say that Reiko told you you could continue in this state and continue to survive?"

Wang Changsheng's words abruptly pulled him from his self-satisfied mood, and Natsume Seian gritted his teeth.
"I already said, I can be completely annihilated!"
"hiss"
Upon hearing Natsume Seiya's words, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but gasp, and at the same time gave him a thumbs up: "Awesome."
Seemingly sensing the admiration in Wang Changsheng's gaze, Natsume Seian smiled smugly: "Hmph!"
"When was the last time you saw Lingzi?" Wang Changsheng pretended not to see the smile on his lips and continued to ask.
"Uh... the most recent time?" Natsume Seian scratched his head. "Before Maki moved here, what's wrong?"
Wang Changsheng: "Did she tell you anything else?"
"No, she just told me that she has some things to take care of recently. As for Qianqian's matter, she told me to handle it myself." Natsume Seian shook his head.
Then he muttered another complaint: "I think she's probably off fighting those bastards again."
"Evil spirits? I've heard you mention them a few times. Aren't they the same thing? Why does it seem like they're forming cliques?" Wang Changsheng narrowed his eyes.
"Sigh!" Natsume Seian sighed, looking quite emotional. "I never expected so many things to happen after I died. When I was alive, I had no idea that so many strange things existed in the world."
"Ghosts, Onmyoji, magicians...it's all so amazing!" Natsume Seian said, his eyes shining even brighter. But then he sighed, "It's such a shame that I can't share these things with Masaki."
Wang Changsheng: "..."
How come it can still stuff dog food into my mouth even after it's dead?
After coughing twice, Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment.
Just then, Natsume Seiyasu continued, "As for those evil spirits you asked about, I don't know where they belong. Perhaps they, like me, became vengeful ghosts after death for some reason."
"However, they seem to have many restrictions, just like me." Natsume Seiyasu recalled, "Reiko said that I can't appear in front of Masaki right now, nor can I show my face in front of ordinary people."
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng raised an eyebrow, pointing out the question in Natsume Seian's words: "Not now, meaning at some point in the future, or some time in the future, is it possible?"
Seemingly surprised by Wang Changsheng's keen insight, Natsume Seian glanced at the child with some disbelief: "I suppose so."
He didn't seem to intend to say anything more.
Wang Changsheng chuckled.
He knew then that the world wasn't that simple.
Magic exists all over the world. What Sakura experienced was only a small part of the magical world, and most of it was already arranged by that scoundrel Clow Reed.
It is perhaps because of his involvement that the world has become more complicated.
Some secrets seem to be gradually emerging.
A mental hospital that doesn't belong to the human world?
Was this some kind of arrangement by Reiko Natsume?
Wang Changsheng glanced at Natsume Seian, the messenger: "Interesting."
