MTL - Cthulhu Gonfalon-Chapter 1

The cockroach snorted and opened his eyes.

Headache, severe headache!

"Drunk a lot of wine, why is it so painful!" He groaned, trying to stand up and sit up.

So he saw the blue sky and the sea and the sky, the vast sea was endless, there were white sea birds flying in the sky, and the sea breeze blowing with salty smell, the sea waves rippled slightly.

This scenery is beautiful.

However... Why is he lying at sea?

Yan Xiong began to recall.

Last night, he and his friends played online games, and finally got through the difficult copy, out of the top equipment that he dreamed of, and then because everyone had to fight the ROLL point when lost.

He is depressed! I almost dropped the mouse. So the game was too lazy to play, went offline, shut down the computer, went straight to the downstairs food stalls, ordered three dishes, a bottle of wine.

and then?

Then... don't remember.

Of course, who can get drunk and remember things?

But he lives in an inland city. Don't say there is no sea nearby. Even if there are no lakes, you are drunk, why come to the sea? There is still no land around.

and many more! There is no land on the land... Where is he sitting now? On the water? !

The man who suddenly realized this was not sinking into the water like the funny animation, but still floating on the water, which made him feel a little calmer.

Anyway, it seems that you don't have to worry about drowning, he can't swim.

However, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

My legs! My body!

According to common sense, a sitting person bows his head and will naturally see his legs and torso, but he has not seen anything.

Strictly speaking, it is not seen nothing. He vaguely sees a layer of visibly transparent outlines. It seems to be slightly human, while the bottom is clear water, and there are some fish and shrimp under the water.

But what does this have to do with him? What about his legs and torso? Is this layer of outline left?

Yan Xiong suddenly raised his hand, so he found that there was only a transparent outline.

Perhaps, probably, most... his body has become this transparent outline all over the place?

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

"Well, now I know two things. First, I came to the sea. Second, my body is gone. It is probably the state of the soul."

At this time, he suddenly discovered that the violent headache that he had when he woke up not long ago is now completely gone.

This is probably a matter of course. Even if the body is gone, how can it be a headache?

However, the strange thing is that without the body, he can still see and hear, can smell the smell of the sea, put his head on the sea, and can taste the taste of the sea.

He changed his mind and thought that if you don't have a body, you don't have to worry about drowning. If you have a feeling, you don't have to worry about becoming a blind man – so I don't think there is anything wrong with the situation...

"Sure enough, every bad news will be accompanied by good news. No wonder there is always a ‘I have two messages to tell you, one is bad news, one is good news.’

Yan Xiong talked to himself, and he suddenly experienced a sudden change. He did not even think about it. In this case, he was not only panicked, but he was able to think so calmly.

"Maybe because there is no body, there is no pain, there is no such thing as kidney hormones that will affect thinking?"

He talked to himself and tried to act.

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

So he lay down again and found that the height really changed.

"Well, I am sure that the soul does have a specific shape. It is not like a certain myth that is a gas, not a ball... This will definitely win the Nobel Prize."

He groaned and tried to take two steps to see if the body, which should not be called the soul, could move.

If you can't even move, it will be terrible.

Fortunately, he can still move normally, and walking and jumping is fine. Although the speed seems to be no faster than when I was alive, at least I don't have to worry about being imprisoned in this sea, when the souls of a lifetime are bound to the spirit.

"It’s a great fortune in misfortune!" Yan Xiong said with emotion, stopped and began to think about what to do next.

As for the question of "why is this," he has given up on the investigation.

This kind of unimaginable thing is definitely not something that ordinary small staff can understand. It wastes the spirit of time on it. It is like the ancient generations of the daggers trying to connect the stars in the sky with the emperors in the world. Scholars.

The idea is good, but it doesn't make sense.

The first question that Yan Xiong considered was to go ashore.

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

So he first had to find the land and go ashore.

After landing, he is still looking for people to determine where he is.

He is not sure that he is still on the earth, and he is not sure that he is still at the beginning of the new century, because he suspects that he may have passed through, but he does not know where to cross.

If it is better to go through the ancient times, the soul does not seem to have the concept of life and death. If you wait slowly, you can always go back to modern times. But if you cross the world like a different planet, it would be awful. I am afraid that I will never go back in this life. It is.

"No, that doesn't really matter."

He quickly overturned the previous thoughts, and it was not very important for a traversor who was suspected of becoming a soul to come to what time, place, or even the world.

The most important thing in front of you is to survive!

No matter what kind of myth and legend, the soul is not something strong and tough. The oriental mythology thinks that a bunch of sunshine and a gust of wind can destroy the fragile soul. Although he has not yet felt that he is afraid of the sun or the sea breeze, it is absolutely not safe to let the soul stay in this undefended state!

In particular, when he realized this, he felt the cold.

This cold is not unbearable, but there is a feeling of dampness and coldness, like when it is raining in winter, the kind of cold and humid, sticky and sinister measurement, which makes people feel disgusted from the bones.

So what should I do?

Yuxiong meditates.

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

However, looking around and exhausting his eyes, he did not find any human body.

In fact, finding a body is not a good idea. As a person who grew up in an inland city, Yan Xiong will not swim. In this boundless sea, even if you find a body to attach, most of them are also Drowning the end.

Then go back and ask for it, at least find a shelter.

He thought, looking around and looking up and down.

But within the scope that the naked eye can see, he did not find anything hard and can be used to hide.

He tried to get into the water and look for it in the water.

When he got into the water, suddenly there was a flash of light - he would have a headache when he woke up, which meant that there was probably a body at that time. Just woke up, because the body could not swim, the body sank into the sea, only the soul floated on the sea.

This means that maybe you just have to sneak into the bottom of the sea and have the opportunity to get your body back?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a great spirit and tried to dive deep into the sea.

Only a few seconds later, he was frustrated to find that he could not sneak into the deep water, and the depth of the diving was not more than two meters.

But fortunately, as a soul, he will not suffocate, and staying in the water is no problem.

Hey, even if his body is really in the sea, there is no hope of fishing back...

Forget it, I don’t know if the body is really in the sea. The most important thing in front of us is to solve the security problem.

Perhaps it is an illusion, or maybe it is safer in the water. He has an inexplicable sense of peace in the water. Like a shirtless person, he can finally wear a single coat.

The clothes are not thick, nor warm, at least not relying on subcutaneous fat to compete with the cold wind.

"There are often mountain spirits in mythology. Is it really safer to stay in the water?" Yan Xiong squatted, so he decided to live under the water. In addition to searching for land, he usually did not have water.

"The problem of ‘wearing’ is probably solved temporarily. Vehicles, the 11th bus is not impossible to do, and the next is to eat and live.”

The cockroach squats and looks at the aquatic animals around.

He saw some fish, but the distance was a little far away, and only a few jellyfish were close.

Jellyfish.

White translucent body, slender tentacles, very common jellyfish.

"I remember that most jellyfish are edible. Although some of them have stingers, the stinger should be of no use to the soul." Yan Xiong said to himself, "But the soul seems to have no way to eat... ”

But he felt that he really needs to eat something.

Once the idea of ​​"eating" rose, it gradually became stronger, and he soon felt hungry.

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

Only the hand with a transparent outline easily grasped the jellyfish. To be correct, it was explored into the body of the jellyfish and caught something.

Grab it, and you can eat it!

So he took the jellyfish over, or said, he took the things he could grab and took it to his lips.

Look carefully, that vagueness is a little light, weak and inconspicuous. It is not like a transparent jellyfish outline as he imagined. When it sent this to the mouth, I carefully observed it for a long time, making sure that it was just a small spot.

He noticed that there was no one tentacles missing from the jellyfish. What I caught was something intangible.

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

The hunger was strengthened, so he ate the thing.

Not much, just a little bit, just fill in a little belly.

He turned his gaze to the jellyfish and found that it had lost its vitality and floated in the sea water.

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

He thought about it and went to catch a few other jellyfish.

After a few moments, in front of the male who felt that he was still not full, there were some jellyfish who completely lost their vitality.

"Now I can proudly claim that I am no longer a mortal who has fallen to the lower end of the food chain without weapons, but a dangerous predator in the sea, or a water ghost."

Abandoning the study of the bodies of the jellyfish, Yan Xiong laughed three times and walked toward the fish in the distance.

His stomach is still hungry.
