Old days in the box

Chapter 266: It’s nothing to cheat on your father, I will destroy him directly

Zhou Xiao walked slowly into the courtyard of the old house and gazed at the ruins of the long-abandoned site.

Although this place has only been abandoned for two years, the degree of decay far exceeds that of the surrounding things, as if it has been drained of all vitality.

More than half of the single-story dilapidated mansion was completely destroyed, and the remaining half was overgrown with weeds, blending in with nature. In the center of the mansion, where all the scratches on the ground pointed, there was an unusually thick tree. Tower among them.

There is no doubt that this "Shenmu House" is the center of the final explosion of that divine power.

Zhou Xiao gently stepped into the old house, passed through the rickety sliding paper door, and walked into Shenmu's home.

Although the remaining half of the room is covered with moss and vines, you can still see many traces of the life of Shenmu Qianhua.

There are homework books from various schools, gray skirts, frayed rattan, and a photo of her and another man on the ground. In the photo, Chika Kamiki is still very young, and she looks like she is only four or five years old.

Single-parent family, is this her father? Zhou Xiao picked up the moss-covered photo frame on the ground and made a judgment in his mind.

This is not surprising. The Kamiki Chika described by Murata was originally the age of a female high school student, which is basically consistent with the age Zhou Xiao saw in the window. Since she is only the age of a female high school student, it is inevitable to have parents at home.

But according to Murata, Chika Kamiki always showed up alone from the very beginning until the later stages. Could it be that she took the initiative to leave her family after realizing the power of the box?

Zhou Xiao did not delve into the answers to these questions. After all, he was not here to care about Shenmu Qianhua.

He put down the photo frame and continued walking through the narrow tatami room, seeing more and more debris in front of him.

He saw beer cans of various brands piled up in the room. He saw belts, hangers and rulers scattered on the floor, all with obvious signs of wear. He saw diapers of the wrong size bought and various expired diapers. canned food.

Although he didn't think about it deliberately, these visible daily necessities alone were enough for him to slowly piece together the daily life of this family.

It seems that the living environment of Shenmu Qianhua since childhood was different from what he imagined.

Zhou Xiao finally passed through the room and came to the center of the old house. At this time, because the other half of the old house had been completely destroyed by the explosion of divine power, walking here was equivalent to returning to the open air. What he could see in front of him was There is only that huge tree.

This tree is obviously not of the same species as the surrounding dense woods. Both its growth rate and size are far beyond what ordinary trees can achieve. It can even be said to have enveloped half of the old house.

Zhou Xiao jumped off the old house and walked towards the giant tree, looking up along its thick branches.

He was suddenly stunned, and even if he wanted to move forward, he could not help but stop here.

In front of this person whose way of thinking has gradually become absolutely rational, there are still things that can make him stop.

On the thick branches extending out of the giant tree in front of him, there was actually a human face embedded on it, as if the tree had swallowed up someone in a dissolving manner and completely dissolved him in the tree.

As for this person's face, Zhou Xiao had just seen it more than ten seconds ago.

He is the father of Shenmu Qianhua.

This...is the collateral damage caused by the instant of divine power?

But Zhou Xiao observed the surroundings. Although this giant tree extended a huge crown, only this branch had this strange phenomenon. And even judging from the degree of abandonment, the man was swallowed into the tree for only a short time. It will definitely come earlier than the surrounding wither.

In other words, the time when he was swallowed into the tree should be much earlier than when the divine power broke out.

Zhou Xiao reached up with doubts, and his divine power seemed to be extended by his hand. He instantly reached the branch and touched the man embedded in the tree.

In an instant, some memories reassembled through divine power poured into his mind. “What is this? Where did you get the money to buy this kind of computer?”

"Don't worry about it! This is a gift from the gods!"

"What's going on with these gems... I swear I saw it light up with my own eyes! Give it to me!"

"I am the one chosen by God. I will not be afraid of you anymore! I used to be afraid of you, but now I understand that God will not open the door to the same person twice. I will definitely seize this opportunity. No one can take it away!"

"...monster, monster!"

A flash of light flashed through the memory, followed by the sound of growing trees and vines.

Zhou Xiao interrupted the connection with the divine power and stopped listening.

He finally understood why Shenmu Qianhua had such a violent reaction when he saw her for the first time.

Maybe what she paid for this box was far more than Zhou Xiao could imagine.

Looking back now, it all seems so reasonable - since Chika Kamaki got the box when she was a high school student, how could she not have met her parents at all afterwards, not even the other people who modeled Murata and Mitsubishi? Pass?

During a father-daughter conflict, his father discovered the secret of the box.

At that time, Shenmu Qianka didn't know that the box had a self-protection mechanism. In order to protect this precious opportunity given to her by God, she chose to side with the box in a moment of thought and took the life of her biological father with the authority of the forest.

This was the real reason why she became so fanatical and obsessed with boxes.

——Only by constantly telling herself, "God chose me, I am the one chosen by heaven" can she temporarily be numb to the fact that she committed parricide with her own hands.

——As long as you can finally get a response from God, no matter what you have done before, it will be worth it.

With this self-paralysis thought, she worked hard to complete the journey in the window like a demon, to work hard to manage all her achievements and great achievements in it, and to seize as much divine power and authority as possible. All of this was for the sake of Dedicated to that box.

However, reality finally dealt her a heavy blow. In the end, she was expelled into the window and became a forest goddess in the Nine Realms.

If it was just to be exiled to another world, then what were all the sacrifices she had made before?

Shenmu Qianhua was confused. She didn't know how to face this sudden reality. Every second she stayed in the Nine Realms was like the scars her father had left on her body, burning passionately in the middle of the night when no one was around. It hurts, heartbreaking.

Zhou Xiao was silent for a long time, then continued to carry the box towards the giant tree, and finally came to the tree.

This tree is the only thing left after the explosion of divine power.

He looked at the tree. After all the divine power disappeared with the sacred tree Qianhua, there was nothing special about the tree. He only saw a female figure's mark on the trunk, and on that mark In the center, there is a broken screen embedded in the tree.

The last display device used by Shenmu Qianhua was an extremely ordinary computer screen.

She eventually disappeared from this screen and was banished to the nine realms in the window forever, never to return.
