Magical girls just want to get off work

Chapter 159 【】Becoming a magical girl means misfortune

In that split second.

There was a dead silence in the room.

Mu Jiu's surprising words surprised her parents.

Mu Jiu's father stood up without saying a word, and directly lit a cigarette.

Pace back and forth.

Then he extinguished the cigarette he just took a few puffs into the ashtray.

Then he looked up at Mu Jiu, who was a bit stiff and embarrassed.

It seemed that he never thought that Mu Jiu would ask this question.

He sighed and shook his head.

"That's all, that's all."

Then, he said to his lover: "It is impossible to hide these things from the children for a lifetime, it seems that it is time to let Mu Jiu know these things."

The soft-hearted mother was still a little bit reluctant.

She didn't know what attitude and expression her child would have when she knew these things, and she didn't know whether she would stay by her side.

Mu Jiu's father sat back on the sofa and talked about another unrelated matter.

"Xiao Jiu, do you know how our family started?"

Hearing his father suddenly asking himself about it.

Mu Jiu shook his head.

She never knew about her parents' work, and her parents would not tell her about it.

However, Mujiu is still clear about one thing. Honghai City is regarded as a first-tier city in the Great Inflammation. Housing prices are ridiculously expensive, and all kinds of daily expenses are also very high.

Mu Jiu always felt that her family was at a similar level, with a car and a house, and lived a comfortable life.

However, Mu Jiu's parents can only be regarded as ordinary working-class people, and the housing prices in Honghai City soared to the sky. Ordinary people have to work without food or drink for hundreds of years to afford a house.

This is unreasonable stuff.

"Actually, our family's things are all aided by your Uncle Qin. To put it bluntly, it's also to keep our mouths shut."

Recalling the past, Mu Jiu's father was also a little helpless.

"Uncle Qin?"

Mu Jiu was a little surprised, she asked back: "Isn't our family without relatives?"

There was a hint of sadness in Mu Jiu's words.

After all, when it comes to the love history of her parents, it is too long. She feels that if it is made into a bloody romance drama, it will at least be able to shoot hundreds of episodes, and it will be the kind where the plot unfolds many times.

"That Uncle Qin is just a friend of my father's. At least we were friends in the past. You should know him too. His name is Qin Shuwen."

"Qin Shuwen?! The most famous rich man in Honghai City?"

Mu Jiu was dumbfounded, she really didn't expect her father to have such a connection.

Qin Shuwen is the founder of Qin Group in Honghai City.

It can be said that it exists in full swing.

It was also he who single-handedly created the United Chamber of Commerce, thus taking the entire economy of Red Sea City into his own hands.

How could Mu Jiu not recognize such a legendary figure?

Most importantly, he is also Qin Wei's adoptive father!

How could Mu Jiu imagine that her father had something to do with such a big man.

Their daily performance is completely ordinary grassroots wage earners!

"I knew you would look like this. Money is what everyone likes. But cursed wealth often brings disaster."

Mu Jiu's father recounted the past.

I want my child to understand what's going on right now.

"Probably happened more than twenty years ago. You also know that your mother and I eloped to Red Sea City. You should not know that your mother and I used to be magicians, because we hate those old The [rules], and then escaped from the family."

"At that time, we were penniless and poor, and we didn't know how to find a job and what we could do. When we were in the family, we had no worries about food and clothing. We never thought that firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea were so important. .After thinking about it, the only thing we are good at is our unique magical talent.”

Mu Jiu's father did not elaborate on the specific details of what happened next.

It's just that because of some coincidence, they met Qin Shuwen.

At that time, he was just an ordinary vagrant, thinking about opportunism all day long, so that he could get rich one day, and one day he could make a fortune.

Qin Shuwen pointed out a way for the two to make money.

It is said that in the ancient times of Dayan, Red Sea City was an important seaside port, and merchant ships full of treasures always set off from here. After so many years, it is inevitable that several ships will capsize.

Countless gold and silver treasures sank to the bottom of the sea.

buried under the sand.

The deep sea is too terrifying, and the pressure in it can easily tear the human body apart.

Ordinary people who want to salvage are tantamount to asking for a dead end.

However, Mu Jiu's parents are different, they are magicians, they have incredible magical powers to protect the body, enchantment magic can isolate the water flow, so you can try to salvage it.

If it doesn't work, find another way.

As for Mu Jiu's parents, it was precisely because they were young and energetic that they acted too aggressively, and they were indeed a little reckless.

They also want to try their luck, maybe the two of them can become rich.

"This is the origin of all disasters."

After preparation and investigation in advance, the three of them drove their self-made magical submersible to the seabed near Red Sea City. At first, everything went well, and the three of them were talking and laughing, but an accident happened.

In a burst of mysterious magical fluctuations, the three came to the ruins of an ancient ruin that had never been excavated.

It was also there that they saw something that was enough to change their lives.

finished.

Mu Jiu's father began to look at Mu Jiu with weird eyes, which made her a little hairy.

That relic is the holy place of the sage civilization - Atlantis.

And the area they entered was the experimental factory where the only survivors tried to replicate the Holy King and the Seven Sages thousands of years ago.

Qin Wei is one of the clones of the Holy King soaked in the nutrition cabin in the ruins. She is an extremely lucky existence.

Over the millennium, the other clones have turned into a pile of rotting flesh. Even through the thick breeding equipment, the three of them can smell an indescribably strong stench.

The terrifying scene of a row of glass tubes erected among the gloomy underwater ruins still haunts Mu Jiu's father.

There is no wealth here.

Some are just the dying throes of a magical civilization.

Seeing that the picture they expected did not appear, they had to return empty-handed.

The most daring Qin Shuwen actually directly rescued the only surviving living body.

What else do you say to support the bold and starve the timid to death.

Maybe, this unknown little girl is the most precious thing in this ruin.

Plus……

Mu Jiu's parents were still moved with compassion.

I don't want this lovely baby to die again for no reason.

After that, when they were about to evacuate, they triggered the autonomous defense system in the ruins.

A group of sleeping magic puppets began to expel the intruders.

Mu Jiu's father said that he saw some octopus-shaped magic puppets floating in the air with a total length of more than three meters. They seemed to be the guardians and managers of the ruins.

And there are some light blue lights on the joints of the magical puppets full of mechanical structures, it seems that the magic power in the body can no longer sustain them to carry out more actions.

Even so, those terrifying magical puppets are still not something they can face, and the only thing they can do is run away.

They were nearly killed when they were outflanked by front and rear pursuit.

Fortunately, the three of them broke into an originally sealed room by mistake.

Under the erosion of time, the mechanical gate has long been decayed. Seeing those weird machines getting closer and closer, he has no escape.

They gritted their teeth and hid in the secret room.

Then, something strange happened, as if the magic puppet didn't dare to enter here at all.

Or rather.

They don't have permission to enter here...

Therefore, they can only wander repeatedly outside the door.

The three people who had nothing to do could only investigate the secret room.

At a glance, they found eight strange-looking magic tools that were tightly protected.

The bright red glowing objects floating in the air are just too magical and alluring.

So Mu Jiu's father has a very deep memory.

He smiled wryly, and said to Mu Jiu: "One of them looks very similar to the staff you are holding. It should be said that it is the same thing at all."

The magic tool Dragon Jewel, that is the magic tool used by Christo.

It seems that all this is preordained fate.

Mu Jiu was so shocked by his father's last sentence that he doubted his life.

Father said that they later discovered that an indescribable and almost invisible translucent thing crawled out of those magic tools. That thing seemed to cast a curse on them, and everyone's consciousness was disturbed by it The general becomes unable to think anymore, nor can it go against anything it says.

In the end, it parasitized in the body of Mu Jiu's mother and took it out of the ruins.

The three of them couldn't remember exactly how they left the underwater ruins.

They only knew that after going ashore, the three parted ways.

The endings of the two parties are also different. Qin Shuwen, who picked up the baby girl, started to make a fortune somehow.

And Mu Jiu's mother also began to become strange. The mysterious thing possessed by her seemed to be invisible. It didn't interfere with the two of them in any way, but she was having some nightmares every night, and every morning she woke up again. I don't remember what they saw or encountered at all.

Until, a few years later, that invisible thing suddenly ordered in their minds to go to the Gemini Orphanage to find its own parasite.

And that person...

The father looked at Mu Jiu with eyes full of fear, his fingers trembled slightly, and finally pointed at his favorite son, he slightly opened his lips, and said in a voice so slight that it was almost inaudible: "The one chosen by it is you ..."

Maybe he felt that what he said was not very clear, so my father added another sentence on purpose.

"It's you who we adopted in Gemini Orphanage..."

ha? !

There is too much information in it, and it is too explosive.

At that moment, Mu Jiu's brain froze a bit.

She really couldn't accept this kind of drama unfolded by God.

"Wait wait... wait!!"

"My mind is a bit messy, let me sort it out!"

"Dad, are you saying that I'm not your own?"

Father nodded.

"Maybe I'm not human yet?"

"Is this some belated April Fool's joke?"

Mu Jiu tried to ease the atmosphere with bad jokes.

"As your nominal father, I'm not kidding in this matter."

Father, he talked about his own thoughts. He thought that since Mu Jiu became a magical girl, it has proved that Mu Jiu's identity has been gradually abandoned by it, or in other words, it has gradually awakened.

So instead of watching the children I have raised for more than ten years gradually become strange, I also began to become estranged from them a little bit, until I became that unknown monster again.

He felt that it would be better to just take a dose of strong medicine.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

This was originally a topic that Mu Jiu took the initiative to provoke, but in fact, she always had a fluke mentality, and she thought that all this was because she thought too much.

However, when she got the answer, Mu Jiu suddenly couldn't accept it.

It was as if my persistence and the reasons for my struggle had all vanished into thin air.

In Mu Jiu's heart, family affection has already occupied a large place.

Now, the reality is in front of Mu Jiu.

This also presents a problem.

How do my parents treat me on weekdays?

A monster that has taken over someone else's body?

Mu Jiu lowered her head and her body trembled unconsciously, tears began to fall on the ground.

She was not a strong person in the first place.

The commander's biting words resounded in Mu Jiu's mind again.

Her life is meaningless.

Only when she dies will she know why she exists.

This kind of blow was too big, so big that Mu Jiu didn't know what expression to put on.

"Sorry, my mind is in a mess right now, I need to go out and calm down..."

While talking, Mu Jiu backed away continuously until he rushed out the door.

"..."

Looking at the distant figure, the mother stood up from the sofa.

She holds out her hand.

She has always claimed to be a loving mother, and she wants to stop her running away child.

In the end, it was replaced by a silent sigh.

"Are we doing it right?"

She is questioning her lover, and she is also questioning her heart.

"Maybe...Xiao Jiu will know this sooner or later. She was originally a child lent to us by God, and she did not belong to us from the beginning."

Having said that, Mu Jiu's father felt grief in his heart, and he slumped down on the sofa. The secret that had been hidden deep in his mind was completely vented at this moment, and he did feel a lot more relaxed.

Mu Jiu, who was running blindly on the street, seemed to have lost his direction, and his confused heart just wanted to find a place to be alone quietly.

Start tonight.

My own existence has become a joke.

This is also the first time Mu Jiu knows that in the eyes of her parents, I have never been me.

The inexplicable irritability in my heart could not be subsided for a long time.

happiness.

These two words are something that some people dream of, and they think that happiness is out of reach.

In fact, happiness is very simple, meaningless cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, Bumpman beats little monsters, and gets a little warm touch and spiritual satisfaction in some daily ordinary things.

This is not a kind of happiness.

Mu Jiu has always felt that the happiest moment of the day is nothing more than sitting next to the TV in a cool air-conditioned room during the holidays without academic pressure, with iced and delicious drinks on the table.

It would be even better if you play your favorite games with the rhythm of the music.

Happiness is so simple.

But.

She no longer knows how to pursue happiness.

It seems that from the day she became a magical girl, all she has around her is...

Unlucky.

Mu Jiu was walking on the bustling street, but the hustle and bustle of the world had nothing to do with her.

Because, I don't know when, some hazy figures appeared around me.

"Found you, lost lamb."
