Old days in the box

Chapter 237 The Giant of Light from the Mother Goddess

On the top floor of the Quantum of the Seas, a Japanese named Murasawa left the captain's cabin and strode towards Zhou Xiao's room on the same floor.

This floor is the most tightly secured super VIP area on the cruise ship. Ordinary guests cannot even get here without holding the corresponding black card, which is why even the captain's cabin is placed on this floor.

In addition to a large number of Japanese security guards guarding every entrance and exit on the entire floor, all public areas are equipped with pervasive cameras, which are aggregated into the captain's room for monitoring to ensure nothing goes wrong.

However, all these designs are ineffective against Murasawa.

Because he and Murata are the owners behind this cruise ship, Mitsubishi Modeling is currently the only two bosses and shareholders. Security and surveillance not only pose no threat to them, but have even become tools in their hands.

Murasawa walked to the door of Zhou Xiao's Room 03 and glanced at the surveillance camera.

Murata, who was in the captain's cabin, immediately used the highest authority in the captain's cabin to directly unlock the electronic lock of Room 03 and let it pop out automatically.

Murazawa opened the door and walked into Zhou Xiao's room smoothly.

In the room, it was dark.

The penthouse suites are all luxurious rooms with large areas and first-class sea views. Murasawa is naturally very familiar with the rooms on his cruise ship. He walked through the entrance and quickly walked into the living room.

The light in the living room is brighter than that at the door. Because Zhou Xiao did not close the electronic curtains, the large floor-to-ceiling windows with excellent views brought full moonlight, all of which fell into the dim living room. There was something brewing in the night sky in the distance. with restless cumulonimbus clouds.

Murazawa glanced at it and saw that there was almost nothing in the room, no suitcases, no clothes, no boxes containing jewelry.

The only thing placed in the living room was a laptop that was lit.

This laptop is connected to a black fully enclosed chassis on the desktop. The size of the chassis is very small, only about a quarter of a normal chassis. It looks like some kind of handmade model. The computer is still on at this time, and there are still things inside. Makes a faint sound.

"God, could that be..."

Murasawa's face froze, and he stared straight at the mini-computer case, as if he had finally found a believer in a miracle; but his steps did not delay for a moment, and he immediately walked towards the case.

"Have you found Murasawa?" His companion's voice came from his earphones.

"Miss Shenmu, I finally found it!" Murasawa's expression was almost distorted with excitement, and he rushed towards the laptop in front of him.

He and Murata had been working as coworkers for half their lives, working as designers at an unknown modeling company. If they hadn't been promoted by Miss Shenmu, they would never have been able to create the business myth of Mitsubishi Modeling.

And now, he was finally convinced that he had found the whereabouts of Miss Shenmu.

The sound of huge waves came from outside the door, and he seemed to hear abnormal sea currents rolling outside the corridor.

But it was too late. His hand had already grabbed the laptop, and he was ecstatically trying to turn the screen around.

In an instant, an invisible stream of light emitted from the chassis removed the hand he was holding on to the screen.

"?"

Murasawa looked at his hand dissipating in the air. Before he could think more, an even larger invisible stream of light was already rushing towards him!

An invisible twist swept out of the box, across the room and out into the world.

Devoured by this distortion, Murasawa seemed to be standing at the center of an atomic bomb test, evaporating silently in an instant.

The sound of water running came from outside the corridor. Zhou Xiao returned to the top floor at almost the same moment and strode back to his room.

When he pushed open the ajar door and walked in, he saw the cold moonlight shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows——

The room was quiet, no one was there.

Everything was as before, only the laptop connected to the chassis was still glowing, waiting for his return in the living room.

"That Japanese guy... was just killed?"

Zhou Xiaoneng noticed the unusual outburst just now. He walked slowly into the room and tried to search for any trace of Murasawa, but he couldn't find anything.

There was a magazine used by the cruise company for invisible promotion on the table. Zhou Xiao glanced at it. The title on it read "Business Myth: Murata and Murasawa's Mitsubishi Modeling".

Wait, no.

"Business Myth: Murata and Mitsubishi Modeling of #&*".

"Business Myth: Murata's Mitsubishi Modeling".

Under Zhou Xiao's eyes, the title of the magazine was covered in garbled characters, and then Murasawa's name was completely erased.

Along with the text, the picture on the cover was also distorted. The original photo of two Japanese people also lost one of them and turned into a single figure of a business tycoon.

The Japanese was not killed instantly, but wiped out from the world line!

The effect is similar to the world line overwriting, but for Murasawa it is not a replacement, but a simple deletion.

Everything about him, whether it was memory or traces of reality, disappeared from this world, leaving only Zhou Xiao who still remembered him.

Zhou Xiao's mind was suddenly confused. Is this the box's self-protection mechanism? So cruel?

"Mr. Zhou?" A tentative call came from outside the door, and it was Mavis's voice.

Zhou Xiao's mind was confused and he returned to the door again. At this time, Mavis had returned to the top floor and was standing in front of his door waiting.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard from people at the venue that you left in a hurry. Was there something important?"

Zhou Xiao opened the door and saw another Japanese standing next to Mabis. It was the other conspirator he saw in the captain's room. The only one left on the cover of the magazine was Murata!

"Let me introduce, this is the only remaining major shareholder of Mitsubishi Modeling, Mr. Murata. He just left for something, and now he came here to say hello to you. I hope you won't be offended..."

Mabis introduced enthusiastically, and Murata, standing next to him, also extended his hand to Zhou Xiao.

As expected, the memories of both of them have been revised, especially the Japanese boss Murata.

Since Murasawa was deleted, the reality of the series of actions just now was also erased, and his behavior was restored to that of coming to welcome Zhou Xiao.

"Hello." Zhou Xiao shook Murata's hand as if he had seen a ghost, smiling softly.

"Aren't you going to participate in tonight's auction? Is there anything I can do to help?" Mabis asked again with concern.

"No, I have important things to deal with," Zhou Xiao glanced at Murata again, "I just hope no one will bother me."

"Then you can rest assured. This floor is a special VIP area. There will be no idlers passing by. You can concentrate on handling things, so we won't disturb you!"

Mavis immediately slapped his chest and laughed, obviously a competent staff member who was completely unaware. Next to him, Murata never said a word. Although his memory was revised and Murasawa's existence was erased, his plan for Zhou Xiao has not disappeared, and he is still thinking about how to enter his room. .

Zhou Xiao nodded, watched the two people leave, and closed the door.

Now, there is only one most important question left.

How did these people at Mitsubishi Model know the existence of the box?

Whether it was the conversation between Murata and Murasawa just now, or the theft they secretly plotted, it showed that they were not coming for Zhou Xiao's property, but for the computer case in his hand.

And they all mentioned the same name, Miss Shenmu.

All the clues seemed to imply the same thing - the existence of another box holder.

It seems that only this hypothesis can explain many weird things on the cruise ship.

Zhou Xiao was full of doubts and strode back to the living room and back to his notebook.

The Japanese man named Murazawa just touched his laptop, and he might be able to find some answers in it.

He returned to the window and took over the operation of the lens and pointer again.

Although the laptop connected to the box was indeed touched by Murasawa, it only lasted for a moment, and there was nothing unusual about the appearance or the window.

At this time, Zhou Xiao finally had time to drag the angle of view and turn the camera to the two highlighted Tianxuan.

In the atrium, while MOSS was taking over the transformation of the Eastern Continent, the two divinely chosen champions, Freya and Tyin, were not idle during the past half month.

These two groups of old voters set out from Europe and overseas respectively, and began to fully take over and integrate all the old beliefs in the atrium.

On the European continent, it goes without saying that the three most loyal religious countries are the Principality of Brittany, the Frankish Kingdom and the Holy Roman Empire.

After discussion, the three of them quickly drafted the Three Emperors Alliance Treaty, forming an alliance of the same beliefs in the western half of Europe to jointly fight against the threat from the Byzantine Empire.

Since Zhou Xiao completely replaced Niord from the world line, the Holy Roman Empire has become the most sacred place since ancient times that believed in the God of the Sea and the Son of the Old One. This also directly led to the conflict of faith between them and Byzantium. increasingly severe.

In the past half month of Zhou Xiao's standby, there have been countless frictions between the Holy Roman Empire and Byzantium. From the initial minor conflicts between the soldiers of the two sides and the quarrels between the generals, it has escalated to the point where the believers on both sides dislike each other. End in person.

According to the battle report, the Mother Goddess Faith of the Byzantine Empire will soon mobilize extraordinary people for support, and the conflict between the two sides will soon escalate into a full-scale military operation.

And it was precisely because Freya received this information.

That's why he deliberately led MOSS's Legion of Faceless Men deep into the front lines of the Holy Roman Empire for the first time, preparing to deal with the followers of the legendary Thousand Flowers Mother Goddess.

At this time, under the tracking of Zhou Xiao's lens, the picture in the window quickly moved to the border defense front of the Holy Roman Empire, and Freya and the deep-diving elves stationed here were seen.

"According to intelligence, the Byzantine border troops have been defeated continuously, which makes the orthodox believers of the Thousand Flowers Mother Goddess very dissatisfied. They have sent the support of giant legions and other extraordinary beings to attack here. This is the first time we have faced the Mother Goddess. Orthodoxy still needs to be as vigilant as possible and not let down.”

In the war camp, Freya was talking to an ambiguous ball of light that appeared in a quantum state. Next to her were two little ones, R'lye and Sharon, both of whom were discussing countermeasures around the campfire.

"I have dispatched an army of [-] faceless men to ambush here for you, but I have never been able to obtain effective intelligence collection on the extraordinary combat power of the Mother Goddess Orthodox Church. It is indeed necessary to be cautious."

"Mercy" appears in the form of an ambiguous ball of light. She uses Sharon's "antenna" to extend to the European battlefield thousands of miles away, and is responsible for commanding her troops to fight as part of MOSS.

"I heard from the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire that the giant legions of the Orthodox Church of the Mother Goddess are all dependents of the Thousand Flowers Mother Goddess, and their combat power is amazing. If this is not handled properly, it may trigger another divine war at any time." Sharon nodded. .

"Anyway, I've had enough sleep. I can transform at any time!" Raleye gave a completely offline answer.

"Don't worry, don't forget that the real battlefield is not here, our task on the front line is just to delay them."

"Tai Yin has led his cronies into the Byzantine captives, and will soon be sent back to the Holy Land of the Mother Goddess Orthodox Church along with those slaves. By then they will be able to figure out what the Thousand Flowers Mother Goddess is doing, and at the same time Able to launch surprise attacks from within them.”

Freya reminded everyone again at the campfire and repeated their plan.

These guys are really addicted to using surprise attacks. Last time they went straight to the Holy Land of the Holy Roman Empire to take out Niord. This time they want to repeat the same trick and sneak directly into the Holy Land of the Faith of the Mother Goddess!

It turned out that during the past half month, the Byzantine Empire launched invasions into surrounding small countries and cities, capturing many of their populations and sending them to the Holy Land of the Mother Goddess.

Freya and Taiyin also followed the trend and came up with such a surprise attack plan.

"So Taiyin is on the other side infiltrating undercover? You guys are really getting better and better at fighting on two fronts." Zhou Xiao couldn't help complaining.

No wonder when he just looked at the map, the two chosen locations were so far apart on the European continent.

Zhou Xiao narrowed the view again and was about to turn to Tai Yin to see what was going on.

Suddenly there was a sound of war drums in the window, coming from the Byzantine front.

The ground began to vibrate regularly, and both Freya and Mercy sensed a powerful magic force emerging from the east. Everyone immediately walked out of the camp and looked towards the other side of the defense line.

There, the crumbling sunset slowly set, and the sky was filled with the last red light. On the other side of the horizon, there were indeed countless huge giants walking towards them, with their backs to the red light in the sky, like a group of tall giants. Divine shadow.

Zhou Xiao was stunned and looked at the giant army that appeared on the screen.

The Byzantine Mother Goddess believers have an army of giants - he had heard about this before Niord was defeated by Zhou Xiao.

But Zhou Xiao never expected that this so-called giant army was actually this "giant"!

At this time, slowly walking towards everyone from the horizon with the setting sun on their backs, they turned out to be a group of giants of light wearing red and silver stripes with blue timers on their chests, Ultraman!

Zhou Xiao looked at this Ultraman army filled with extraordinary divinity, and his mind suddenly went blank.

Could it be said that there really is another box holder? These are the combat powers that the holder dragged in?

But as soon as he had such a guess, the earth began to crack and sink, and countless vines spread out and condensed into a human shape.

The divine power of authority comes to the earth, and the goddess who controls the forests and mountains appears, appearing in physical form in front of the battle line, and also appears on the screen!

No, she showed up her health bar! In other words, she is not a player of the box!
