Chapter 1302
The light on the ceiling of the living room was dim and warm, and the long wooden table under the light was also reflected in an oily yellow.
Uncle Xiongren, Aunt Miko, Uncle Hideo, Aunt Xingchuan... and Xiangzi's childhood friends Xiaofu and Tsuichiro in Kaijin Village, all sat cross-legged around the long table neatly. When they saw the girl with bangs-Xiangzi jumping into the living room, they all smiled at the same time.
"Our protagonist today is finally back..."
"Xiangzi, happy birthday to you!"
"This is the gift we brought to you..."
Uncles, aunts, and friends happily handed various gifts to Xiangzi, and Xiangzi was even happier in her heart. She talked with these kind elders and friends, telling her about her experiences in school and sharing interesting things in daily life.
The guests echoed her at the right time, making her the protagonist of the day.
The atmosphere in the hall was so harmonious.
At this time, Xiangzi's father was bringing out pots from the kitchen and placing them on the long table. In the steaming pots, besides boiling water, there were only a few onions, ginger and spices.
Her father passed by Xiangzi, touched her head, smiled gently and said: "Xiangzi, we will eat fish today... After lunch, everyone will eat cake together."
"Okay!" Xiangzi nodded vigorously.
She was taken to the main seat by her father and sat down.
The guests also sat upright around the long table, smiling at Xiangzi in the main seat - since seeing these relatives and friends today, they often looked at her with such a gentle smile. Xiangzi was under such a gaze for a long time, but she was a little tired in her heart.
- Not only tired, she even began to be a little scared.
She always felt that something terrible was about to happen.
Moreover, such a terrible thing may have happened to her before.
Just as Xiangzi was thinking about all sorts of things, her father came out of the kitchen wiping a kitchen knife, walked into the hall, and knelt down beside Xiangzi.
Xiangzi looked at the shiny kitchen knife in her father's hand, and her eyes fell on his clean white apron. Her mind trembled even more, so she whispered to the square-faced man: "Dad, aren't we going to eat boiled fish today?
Where is the fish?"
'Father' smiled more kindly when he heard Xiangzi's words.
Under such a kind smile, the corners of his lips gradually cracked to the roots of his ears, and his blood-red mouth was full of sharp teeth.
'His' eyes turned dim.
The vertical pupil inside trembled slightly.
Behind it grew a bunch of shriveled human heads, and those heads were densely packed, forming a scale armor covering its body.
A strong sense of weirdness emanated from the fierce weird-Mian Jinjian, who was revered as the ‘God of the Sea’ by Dongliu Island, and all of Xiangzi’s childhood playmates were transformed into weird slaves covered with crocodile scales!
The God of the Sea and his weird slaves sat around the dining table.
It responded to Xiangzi’s question and said, “The fish is here... Xiangzi.
Don’t you know yet? You are the most delicious fish.
I adopted you after you were born.
Every year you grow older, I will take some meat from you and stew it into fish soup... Anyway, after your birthday, you will forget everything that happened today. You are the ‘Original God’ of Dongliu Island, so after eating you today, you will still grow yourself intact tomorrow...
Xiangzi, you are such a delicious fish. Your father will eat you completely on the day you turn eighteen - so that your father can become the new Origin God -”
The whispers of the ‘God of the Sea’ lingered in the living room.
In the shrine on the wall, blood was blazing.
On the black tablet in the shrine, Chinese characters were drawn in gold lacquer: The Venerable Seat of the Great God of Ocean and Production, Minatsumi.
Su Wu's intention was not placed on this smelly shrine.
His intention was placed in the 'Xiangzi bedroom' separated from the living room, and on a straw man on the desk in the bedroom.
The world of 'Dead Dongliu Island' was increasingly blocking him.
As for this inner world, he could only observe the life of the 'Zhuzhao Wu Maiden' who was most likely a girl through the wall.
He frowned deeply when he heard the fierce and strange words of the one who was revered as the God of the Sea.
What is the 'Origin God'?
Su Wu once thought that everything was rooted in 'Heaven'.
However, Mr. Zhong Sui later told him in the innermost room of the Weird Prison that 'man' and 'heaven' had different origins.
Su Wu was not sure whether this news was true.
If the news was true, then this 'Origin God' was the 'origin' of 'man'? Or is it the origin of ‘heaven’? Or is it something else besides the two?
Xiangzi’s sobbing and screaming came from the living room.
She was fixed on the dining table.
People started eating from her toes.
The sound of crying and wailing kept lingering in Su Wu’s ears. Su Wu shook his only ‘will’ that could sink into this inner world. His will did not shake at all, and the chains of the strange prison entangled around him became tighter - this strange prison chain should have been used by him, but now it was all because the ‘Ten Degrees of Extinction Knife’ was connected to the strange prison chain, and it obeyed a certain will and constantly resisted Su Wu’s will!
Endless black chains were entrenched in this warm bedroom, like several black pythons entangled in a ball.
In the center of this black chain, a ray of spiritual energy shines clear and is slowly outlined into a word.
Lunch time passed.
The cries and laughter in the living room next door gradually died down.
The guests' polite farewells reached Su Wu's ears from the living room next door, and bursts of sounds like wood and stone hitting the floor came from far to near——
A slender white skeleton arm opened the bedroom door, and Xiangzi, who was covered only in bones, fled into her bedroom with long black hair.
The cold hand bones grabbed Su Wu, the scarecrow, and held him tightly, bringing him into the dark bed.
"who can help me……"
The skeleton Xiangzi with blood-stained black hair murmured to herself in a low voice.
When Su Wu listened to her words, he seemed to see a childish face full of tears.
"Xiangzi, get up early and go to school tomorrow." 'Father' knocked on Xiangzi's bedroom door, his voice was still unhurried, gentle and polite.
Xiangzi, who had turned into a skeleton, curled up tightly and did not dare to respond to the so-called father's words.
"If you don't answer me, I'm going to come in. If you don't answer, dad will have to cut off the hands, feet and head of your most beloved toy, the scarecrow..." 'Father' said with a smile in his voice. , but still polite.
When Su Wu heard the sea god's voice, a trace of anger rose in his heart.
He felt the skeletonized Xiangzi trembling violently, and stumbled in response to his father's words: "I, I know, dad..."
"This is a good and obedient boy..."
The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.
Xiangzi's bloodshot skull faced Su Wu, as if staring at the scarecrow in his hand: "No matter who it is, no matter what god it is, even the god of scarecrows... I will be grateful if you can help me. As long as you fulfill my wish, I will fulfill your wish...
Scarecrow God, can you help me? "
Su Wu remained silent while listening to Xiangzi's weak cry for help.
He can only struggle to use his own ray of mental energy to try to break through the increasingly dense blockade here - his struggling strength cannot be too great. Once the extent of the struggle is too great, this ray of mental energy will dissipate, and then he There is no more 'anchor' in this complex world.
The long day gradually passed.
The next day, Xiangzi, who was originally the 'Original God', became intact again. Nothing seemed to have changed, but Su Wu could feel that she was gradually resisting leaving her bedroom.
"I'm going to class, Scarecrow." Xiangzi put the scarecrow on the table, waved to him, and finally left the room with her schoolbag on her back.
Not long after she left, 'Mianjin Jian' walked into the room.
The number of shriveled heads carried on its back became more and more numerous, and they became denser and denser. Each head had a tongue growing out. The 'Poseidon' stretched out into the void and stared at the scarecrow on the table for a while. Then it grabbed the Poseidon that was attached to it. Wu Xingyi's scarecrow gently flicked the scarecrow's head.
It smiled jokingly and cruelly: "It's really just a scarecrow. I thought it was another god born from her origin..."
Mianjin put the scarecrow back in its place, turned around and walked out of his daughter's bedroom.
So day after day, year after year.
Xiangzi's fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth birthdays passed one after another.
"Are there really no other gods in this world? There are only such evil gods... I read in a book that if you have a lot of emotions attached to an item, that item can also become a god - so Scarecrow, what are you doing? When can I become a god?
When can you help me once? "
Under the dark quilt, the now grown-up Skeleton Xiangzi held the decaying scarecrow in her palm, her voice full of sadness.
Su Wu could only remain silent after listening to her words.
He's not quite there yet.
There is only one thread left to break the blockade of these prison chains!
Outside the bedroom, Mianjin's voice slowly came: "My daughter has grown so big without knowing it... Xiangzi, prepare well for your eighteenth birthday next year...
When you turn eighteen and come of age, you will marry Poseidon.
Completely become a part of the ‘Poseidon’…”
