I looked at the black wooden box twice.
Luo Li looked surprised and asked hesitantly, "Director Qu, where did you get this box?"
She knew that Qu Jian'er was an oddball, and it was normal for her to encounter any bizarre or inexplicable things.
But the spiritual energy emanating from the wooden box in front of her still surprised her. Was this fate?
Qu Jian'er was focused on the "protective charm" on Luo Li and didn't notice Luo Li's surprise.
Even for her, without using the power of words, she couldn't protect someone for so long with just one word.
This is enough to prove that the spiritual energy of the senior mentioned by Luo Li was so powerful that it was unprecedented and will never be surpassed.
only.
There was something she didn't understand.
Making a "golden amulet" is by no means simple.
Why would the other party go to such lengths to leave Luo Li such a protective talisman? What is their intention?
Luo Li suddenly looked surprised.
Qu Jian'er was also puzzled, so she briefly told Luo Li about the origin of the wooden box.
Then we saw Luo Li hesitate, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Qu Jian'er disliked beating around the bush: "Just say it straight, do you recognize this wooden box?"
She plopped down next to the wooden box, which she now knew was a keepsake from the original owner's parents.
Judging from Luo Li's expression, she clearly knows the wooden box or the owner behind it.
Luo Li approached the wooden box step by step, telling Qu Jian'er about her surprise as she got closer.
Before the two could react...
The wooden box seemed to sense the golden characters on Luo Li's body and opened itself using the method of solving a Rubik's Cube, finally revealing the floating wordless book to the two of them.
It was a wordless book.
The paper's design is very simple; it's just ordinary paper, but it opens on its own to reveal a blank page.
Qu Jian'er didn't think the original owner's parents would harm her, so she caught the book with a degree of caution.
In an instant.
Rows of gold lettering appeared on the paper.
I'm so sorry to have met you this way, my child. Don't be sad, death isn't scary, our lives have been wonderful. ...In this world, there are still two irresponsible parents who love you deeply.
Qu Jian'er skimmed through the first page, then her heart slowly settled.
The emotions in his eyes also subsided.
actually.
She had already prepared herself for the original owner's parents to pass away; otherwise, Qingxu Temple would not have become an inheritance for her.
Only after learning about the original owner's parents' identities.
She still held a sliver of hope.
I believe the original owner's parents did not die.
However, this heartbreaking suicide note shattered her hopes.
Qu Jian'er had thought that the original owner's parents would not die easily, but she did not expect that the couple would commit suicide, and she did not expect that the original owner's mother was a book spirit.
The original owner was actually a combination of a human and a spirit.
Qu Jian'er quickly realized that perhaps only in this way could this body contain her soul.
She just couldn't understand why the original owner's parents committed suicide.
Luo Li heard Qu Jian'er's murmur: "This is Senior's wooden box... Are you the child Senior has been searching for? She committed suicide, why would she commit suicide after finding you!?"
She also found it hard to accept this fact.
In Luo Li's eyes, that senior was the last person, after the Liu family, to enter her heart.
She couldn't accept his suicide.
Qu Jian'er thought of a reason, but she couldn't quite believe it: "For me?"
She knew the reason why the original owner's parents committed suicide.
This was to prevent us from competing with her for the power needed by the Book Spirit, so that she could live a good life.
In interstellar space, mobile devices have become essential equipment for everyone, while AI and optical computers are gradually becoming more widespread.
Technology is an inevitable trend.
More and more people are no longer using books to record history, and no longer writing words on paper.
This means that there will be fewer and fewer Book Spirits.
The existence of a spirit requires a degree of faith, a kind of trust and reverence that is well-known to the public regarding spirit-possessed beings.
Just like fire spirits, as long as there is a source of fire in the world, they will never disappear.
The same goes for Mu Huai; she desperately protects the plants on Jupiter, which is actually protecting herself as well.
Book Spirit is different. People will inevitably yearn for the convenience of technology and gradually replace books.
The current power allows the Book Spirit to barely survive, but not in the future; the Book Spirit is destined for destruction.
The original owner's parents didn't want to wait like this.
They chose to actively embrace death.
Leave the strength to their children.
Qu Jian'er frowned. She didn't know how to tell people that she wasn't the original owner of this body; the original owner had already died.
When Qu Jian'er turned to the next page.
Her pupils suddenly dilated.
Her arrival was written on it.
My child, when you turn 16, unexpected changes will happen to you. Don't be afraid; we know you can't avoid them. My child, please don't feel burdened. It's our good fortune to have been your father/mother.
Seeing this.
Qu Jian'er slammed the book shut.
It seems that the original owner's parents anticipated her arrival and also foresaw that she would encounter a turning point when she turned 16.
Qu Jian'er had some indescribable feelings.
It's the kind of relationship where they know you're not their daughter, but they still treat you like their own.
Don't they resent it?
Even though the original owner had died before she arrived, she was still the one who took over the original owner's body.
Why are you so generous?
Qu Jian'er closed her eyes and calmed down.
Open the book again.
I read all the way to the last page.
There were two spells there—the spell to inherit the power of the book spirit and the spell to release the seal on the power of the orc.
My dear reader, there's more to this chapter! Please click the next page to continue reading—even more exciting content awaits!
