The light on the top of the living room is dim and warm, and the long wooden table under the lamp is also reflected in an oily yellow.
Uncle Yuhito, Aunt Miko, Uncle Hideo, Aunt Hoshikawa...and Kouko's childhood friend in Kaijin Village, Tsuichiro, were all sitting neatly cross-legged around the long table. They saw Qi Liuhai's
The girl Xiangzi jumped into the living room, with smiles on all the faces.
"Our protagonist today is finally back..."
"Xiangzi, happy birthday to you!"
"This is the gift we bring you..."
Uncles, aunts, and friends happily gave various gifts to Xiangzi, and Xiangzi was even happier inside. She talked with these kind elders and friends, telling about her experiences in school and sharing her daily life.
Interesting things.
The guests echoed her in time, making her completely the protagonist of the day.
The atmosphere in the hall is so harmonious.
At this time, Xiangzi's father was taking out pots from the kitchen and placing them on the long table. In the steaming pots, apart from the boiling water, there was only a little bit of onion, ginger and spices.
Father passed by Xiangzi, touched her head, and said with a gentle smile: "Xiangzi, let's eat fish today... After lunch, we will eat cake together."
"Okay!" Xiangzi nodded vigorously.
She was brought to the main seat by her father and sat down.
The guests were all sitting upright around the long table, looking at Xiangzi who was the host with a smile - ever since they saw these relatives and friends today, they often looked at me with such gentle and smiling eyes, Xiangzi
After being under such gaze for a long time, I felt a little tired inside.
——Not only was she tired, she even started to be a little scared.
I always feel like something terrible is about to happen.
Moreover, such horrific things may have even happened to me before.
Just as Xiangzi was running through all kinds of random thoughts in her mind, her father wiped a kitchen knife and walked out of the kitchen, went to the hall, and knelt down beside Xiangzi.
Xiangzi looked at the bright kitchen knife in her father's hand, and her eyes fell on his clean white apron. Her heart trembled even more, so she asked the square-faced man in a low voice: "Dad, don't you want to eat boiled fish today?"
?
Where are the fish?”
'Father' smiled even more kindly after hearing Xiangzi's words.
Under such a kind smile, the corners of his lips gradually split to the base of his ears, and his big blood-red mouth was filled with spike-like teeth.
'His' eyes turned dim.
The vertical pupils inside trembled slightly.
There were shriveled human heads growing out from behind it, and those heads were densely packed, forming scales covering its whole body.
A strong charm of charisma emanates from Mianjinmi, the sly creature who is revered as the 'Poseidon' by Dongliu Island, turning all of Xiangzi's childhood playmates into sly slaves covered in crocodile scales.
!
Poseidon and his slaves sat around the dinner table.
It responded to Xiangzi's question and said: "The fish is right here...Xiangzi.
Don’t you know yet? You are the most delicious fish.
I have adopted you since you were born.
Every time you get older, I will take some meat from your body 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 into yourself tomorrow...
Xiangzi, you are such a delicious fish that your father will eat you completely into his stomach on the day you turn eighteen - so that your father can become the new origin god - "
The whispers of 'Poseidon' lingered in the living room.
The shrine on the wall was filled with blood.
On the dark tablet standing in the shrine, Chinese characters are outlined in gold paint: the honorable tablet of Mianjinmi, the great god of ocean and production.
Su Wu's intention was not pinned on this smelly god.
His thoughts were placed in the 'Xiangzi's Bedroom' which was isolated from the living room, and placed on a straw man on the desk in the bedroom.
The world of "Dead Dongliu Island" is increasingly blocking him.
As for being in this layer of the world, he could only observe through the wall the life of the 'Wikikomori Maid' who was most likely a girl.
He frowned deeply when he heard the stern words spoken by the man who was revered as the God of the Sea.
What is ‘Original God’?
Su Wu once believed that all kinds of things are rooted in "Heaven".
However, Mr. Zhong Sui later told him in the innermost room of the prison that "man" and "heaven" have different origins.
Su Wu is still not sure whether this news is true.
If the news is true, is this 'original god' the 'origin' of 'human beings'? Or is it the origin of 'heaven'? Or is it another thing outside of the two?
Xiangzi's cries and screams came from the living room.
She was fixed to the dining table.
People started eating from her toes.
The sound of crying and wailing lingered in Su Wu's ears. Su Wu shook his only strand of "meaning" that could sink into this inner world. His mind did not shake at all, and the chains of hell were entangled around him.
He tightened even more - the Hell Chain was supposed to be used by him, but now it was all because the 'Ten Destruction Swords' were connected to the Hell Chain. Instead, it obeyed a certain will and constantly resisted Su Wu's will.
!
Infinite black chains are entangled in this cozy bedroom, like several black pythons twisted into a ball.
In the center of this black chain, a wisp of spiritual energy shines clear and is slowly outlined into a word.
Lunch time has passed.
The cries and laughter in the living room next door gradually died down.
The polite farewells of the guests reached Su Wu's ears from the living room next door, and the sound of 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.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "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 voice of the sea god, 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 understand, 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 also fulfill your wish...
Scarecrow God, can you help me?"
Listening to Xiangzi's weak cry for help, Su Wu remained silent.
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 carrying her schoolbag.
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 still a little short.
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 reach adulthood at the age of eighteen, you will marry Poseidon.
