Banner of the Evil God

Sui Xiong groaned and opened his eyes.

Headache, severe headache!

"I'm just drunk, why does my head hurt so much!" He groaned and wanted to turn over and sit up.

So he saw the blue sky and blue sea connected to each other, the vast sea was endless, there were white seabirds flying in the sky, the salty sea breeze blew gently, and the waves were slightly rippling.

This scenery is so beautiful.

But... why is he lying on the sea?

Sui Xiong began to recall.

Last night, he and his friends played online games. They finally cleared the high-difficulty dungeon and got the top equipment they dreamed of. But because everyone wanted it, they lost when they were fighting for ROLL points.

He was so depressed! He almost dropped his mouse. So he didn't bother to play the game, went offline directly, turned off the computer, ran straight to the food stall downstairs, ordered three dishes and a bottle of wine.

What happened next?

And then... I don't remember.

This is natural. Who can remember things when they are drunk?

But he lives in an inland city. There is no sea or lake nearby. Why did he end up on the sea when he was drunk? There is no land around.

Wait! There is no land... Where is he sitting now? On the water? !

Sui Xiong, who suddenly realized this, did not sink into the water like in the funny animation, but still floated on the water, which made him feel a little relieved.

In any case, it seems that he does not need to worry about drowning, because he can't swim.

But he suddenly felt something was wrong again.

Where are my legs! Where is my body!

According to common sense, a sitting person lowers his head and naturally sees his legs and torso, but he saw nothing.

Strictly speaking, he did not see nothing. He vaguely saw a layer of transparent outline that seemed to be slightly human-shaped, and below was clear sea water, and there were some fish and shrimps under the water.

But what does this have to do with him? Where are his legs and torso? Is this the only layer of outline left?

Sui Xiong raised his hand blankly, and found that there was only a layer of transparent outline.

Maybe, probably, most likely...his entire body has become this transparent outline?

Or maybe, this transparent outline is not a body at all, but...a soul?

"Okay, now I know two things. First, I came to the sea; second, my body is gone, and now I am probably in a soul state."

At this time, he suddenly found that the severe headache he had when he woke up not long ago has now completely disappeared.

This is probably natural. If he has lost his body, how can he have a headache?

But the strange thing is that without a body, he can still see and hear, and can smell the fishy smell of the sea water. If he puts his head on the sea surface and licks it, he can still taste the sea water.

He thought about it again. If he lost his body, he wouldn't have to worry about drowning. If his soul still had feelings, he wouldn't have to worry about becoming blind and deaf. Thinking about it this way, the current situation didn't seem to be bad...

"Sure enough, every bad news is accompanied by good news. No wonder there are always jokes like 'I have two news to tell you, one is bad news, and the other is good news' in comedies."

Sui Xiong muttered to himself. He was unexpectedly calm after the sudden change. He didn't even think that in this situation, he was not only not panicked, but was able to think so calmly.

"Maybe it's because without a body, there is no pain, no things like adrenaline that affect thinking?"

He muttered to himself and tried to move.

So he stood up and looked at the sea and the surrounding situation. The height did change a little bit.

So he lay down again and found that the height did change again.

"Okay, I'm sure that the soul does have a specific shape. It's not like a breath or a ball as described in some myths... This will definitely win the Nobel Prize."

He muttered and tried to take a few steps to see if this body, which should be called a soul, could move.

If he couldn't even move, it would be terrible.

Fortunately, he could still move normally, and he could walk, run and jump. Although his speed didn't seem to be much faster than when he was alive, at least he didn't have to worry about being trapped in this vast ocean and being a lonely ghost for the rest of his life.

"What a blessing in disguise!" Sui Xiong sighed, stopped and began to think about what to do next.

As for the question of "why this happened", he had given up the pursuit.

This kind of unimaginable thing is definitely not something that an ordinary clerk can figure out. Wasting time and energy on it is like the scholars in ancient times who spent generations trying to connect the stars in the sky with the emperors and generals on earth.

The idea is good, but it's meaningless.

The first thing Sui Xiong considered was to go ashore.

He is a human being, or a human soul, not an aquatic animal, but a terrestrial one.

So he had to find land first and go ashore.

After going ashore, he had to look for people to determine where he was.

He was not sure whether he was still on Earth, nor was he sure whether he was still at the beginning of the new century, because he suspected that he might have traveled through time, but he did not know where.

It would be okay if we traveled to ancient times. The soul seems to have no concept of life, old age, sickness and death. You can always return to modern times if you wait slowly. But if you travel to some other planet or world, it would be terrible. I'm afraid you won't be able to go back in this life. .

"No, that doesn't really matter."

He quickly overturned his previous thoughts. For a time traveler who seemed to have become a soul, it was not very important what time, place or even world he came to.

The most important thing at hand is to survive!

No matter in which myths and legends, the soul is not a solid thing. Eastern mythology even believes that a beam of sunshine or a gust of wind can destroy a fragile soul. Although he has not yet felt that he is afraid of the sun or the sea breeze, it is definitely not safe to leave his soul in such an undefended state!

Especially when he realized this, he felt cold.

The cold was not unbearable, but there was a clammy feeling, just like when it rains in winter, that kind of cold, wet, sticky feeling makes people feel disgusted from the bottom of their bones.

So, what to do?

Sui Xiong pondered.

The simplest way is to find a shell for your soul, or a physical body.

However, looking around, he couldn't find any human body.

In fact, finding a physical body is not necessarily a good idea. As a person who grew up in an inland city, Sui Xiong couldn't swim at all. In this boundless sea, even if he found a physical body to possess him, it would probably be useless. The fate of drowning.

Then the next best thing is to find a shelter.

He thought, looking left and right, up and down.

But within the range that could be seen with the naked eye, he found nothing hard that could be used to hide.

He tried to get into the water again and search in the water.

When he entered the water, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration - he still had a headache when he woke up, which meant that he was probably still alive at the time. But after waking up, because I couldn't swim, my body sank into the sea, and only my soul was still floating on the sea.

This means that maybe as long as I dive into the bottom of the sea, I still have a chance to get my body back?

Thinking of this, he suddenly became energetic and tried his best to dive into the depths of the sea.

But just a few seconds later, he discovered to his dismay that he could not dive into deep water at all, and the visual limit of diving was no more than two meters.

But fortunately, as a soul, he won't suffocate, so he has no problem staying in the water.

Woohoo, even if his body is really in the sea now, there is no hope of getting it back...

Forget it, I still don’t know if my body is really in the sea, so there is no need to be depressed now. The most important thing at hand is to solve the safety problem.

Maybe it was an illusion, or maybe it was really safer in the water. He felt an inexplicable sense of security staying in the water, like a shirtless person who could finally put on a single piece of clothing.

The clothes are neither thick nor warm, but at least I don't have to rely on subcutaneous fat to fight the cold wind.

"There are often mountain spirits and water ghosts in mythology. Maybe it's safer to stay in the water, right?" Sui Xiong muttered, so he decided to live underwater and never go out of the water except for looking for land.

"The issues of food, clothing, housing, transportation and 'clothing' have probably been solved for the time being. As for transportation, the No. 11 bus is not impossible. The next step is food and housing."

Sui Xiong muttered and turned his attention to the aquatic animals around him.

He saw some fish, but they were a little far away, and only a few jellyfish were close by.

Jellyfish.

With a white translucent body and slender tentacles, it is a very ordinary jellyfish.

"I remember that most jellyfish are edible. Although some of the tentacles have stingers, the stings should be of no use to the soul." Sui Xiong said to himself, "However, the soul seems to be unable to eat... "

But he felt that he really needed to eat something.

Once the thought of "eating" arose, it gradually became stronger, and he soon felt hungry.

So he subconsciously reached out and tried to catch the jellyfish closest to him.

The hand with only the transparent outline easily grabbed the jellyfish. To be more precise, it penetrated into the jellyfish's body and grabbed something.

Caught and ready to eat!

So he took the jellyfish over, or in other words, took the edible thing he caught and brought it to his mouth.

If you look carefully, you will see that it is a faint light, weak and inconspicuous. It didn't look like the outline of a transparent jellyfish as he imagined. When it brought this to its mouth, it observed it carefully for a long time and determined that it was just a small point of light.

He noticed that not a single tentacle was missing from the jellyfish. What he caught was something invisible.

Could it be... the soul of the jellyfish?

The hunger increased, so he ate the thing.

Not much, just a little bit, just to fill my stomach a little bit.

He turned his attention to the jellyfish again and found that it had lost its life and was floating in the sea water.

"Sure enough, what I ate was its soul."

He thought for a moment and then went to catch a few more jellyfish.

A moment later, in front of Sui Xiong, who felt he was not full yet, were some jellyfish that had completely lost their vitality.

"Now I can proudly declare that I am no longer a mortal who will fall to the bottom of the food chain without weapons, but a dangerous predator in the sea, or a water ghost."

Giving up the research on the jellyfish corpses, Sui Xiong laughed three times and walked towards the fish in the distance.

He was still hungry.

After dragging it out for almost a year, I finally posted it before another birthday. In this way, I can hold my head high and say that I have not been posting for less than a year this time, which is much better than Kong Bu...
