Chapter 295: Inner Demon

Looking at the illegible note, I was stunned.

It took me a while to come to my senses. Then I couldn't help but touch the spot on my left thigh, and although I was wearing a layer of wet pants, I could still feel the scar on the stitches.

I grabbed a Swiss Army knife from my backpack and reached for the scar with my left hand, ready to cut my pants, find the spot, and dig out the chip.

Suddenly, a voice came from my head: the muscles of the thighs are sliced, and they are bound to bleed profusely, and in the seawater, this blood will quickly attract all kinds of carnivores, especially sharks! Although I have shark repellent, it runs out quickly...... In addition, if the wound does not stop bleeding, it will be troublesome, and even if the bleeding is stopped, the wound will be soaked in seawater all the time, which will cause complications......

yes, you can't be so reckless!

I quickly calmed down.

Maybe there's a better way...... Until the last moment, don't use this method yet.

It was getting dark.

I'm starting to feel a little scared...... The vast sea at night, without the light of the sun, is black and oppressive, which is simply synonymous with death.

I felt the water beneath me slowly getting colder—the temperature of the water dropping dramatically. The main reason is that the sea water, which has been illuminated by the sun all day, gradually returns to its original temperature in the dark night, and the cold undercurrent on the bottom of the sea continues to surge up, and it becomes more and more cold.

The moon didn't come up tonight, I don't know why, and there wasn't half a star.

The whole sea was dark—lifeless darkness.

I opened my eyes vigorously, and I couldn't see anything shiny. I paddled forward desperately, hoping to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible!

My hands and legs were as hard as I could, and I swam forward with almost all my strength...... However, I swam for a long, long time, until I was exhausted, and everything in front of me was still exactly the same as before!

It was like a huge labyrinth, or a horrible dark whirlpool, and I couldn't swim out, just swirled around in it.

I don't know how long it took, but my arm started to go numb, and I felt like I didn't have any strength in my whole body...... I collapsed on the surface of the sea, stretched out my hands, and looked up at the dark sky—the sky was exactly the same as the black in the dungeon of the Tenyue Building!!

Exhausted, my eyes fell together, and I knew that I was about to fall asleep on the surface of the sea...... I was sleepy, sleepy, so sleepy that I didn't want to open my eyes, I didn't want to think about anything......

Suddenly, I woke up - a very strange voice came to my ears, it was very strange, it seemed to be nothing, like a ghost in the sea......

I suddenly remembered the ghost cry in the Tianyue Building, the kind of ghost crying wolf howl in the middle of the night made by Qin Lingjin...... And this burst of strange sounds kept ringing in my ears, making my whole body creepy......

Suddenly, I felt a dark shadow slowly approaching me, it was moving very slowly, it seemed to struggle every time it moved forward, but I could feel that its threat was huge!

I didn't know which side this dark shadow was slowly approaching me, but I knew that its target must be me, and it was very aggressive...... Moreover, I looked around for a long time, but I didn't find any sign of it, but I was sure that there was a dark shadow that flashed before my eyes, and then it was fleeting!

That's not a creature in my cognitive world—I'm sure.

It kept closing in on me, and when I was about to see it, it ran away...... And then slowly approaching from the other side, I could feel that it must be laughing at me incessantly, laughing at my ignorance and stupidity, laughing at my helplessness and imbecility......

I simply closed my eyes and clutched the Swiss Army knife tightly in my hand. I knew it would be futile to look for it with my eyes. It's better to calm your brain and use your hearing, your senses to deal with and resist it, and its ridicule.

I held my breath and pricked up my ears.

The sound of the waves in my ears is regular, and nothing else can drown it out.

I calmed down and waited for the shadow that was about to attack me. I don't know why, it's been coming for a long time, but it hasn't come for a long time.

It seemed to hesitate for something, and the speed that was approaching me began to slow down.

The dagger in my hand became tighter and tighter, and I even thought in my mind how it rushed towards me from some dark place and tore at my head! At that critical moment, my arm rushed out like training to catch an empty bottle in the dungeon of the Tianyue Mansion, and at the moment when its sharp teeth were about to reach my neck, I slammed the dagger in my hand into its neck! In an instant, its blood gushed out, and its body fell heavily into the sea, and it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea with my huge body of Swiss Army knife......

This clip played in my head over and over again.

As the minutes ticked by, I even began to look forward to it, I was expecting everything that happened!

However, it let me down, and when I wanted it to attack me the most, it didn't show up.

Gradually, I lost my patience and the Swiss Army knife in my hand was no longer so tight.

……

I slowly opened my eyes.

It was still the same darkness all around, a deathly silence.

It turns out that fear comes from the heart.

When I am not afraid of anything, then there is nothing to be afraid of...... That dark shadow may just be my inner demon.

Thinking of this, I suddenly became enlightened.

This piece of sea, boundless, may be my cultivation dojo. It doesn't matter the pain or the struggle, it doesn't matter if you live or die—my life is here.

After thinking about it for a long time, my mind calmed down completely, and I felt that my whole body began to become lighter and more comfortable.

I slowly closed my eyes and let my body flow with the waves, letting everything take its course.

……

In the past few decades, every memorable scene, every unforgettable scene, is slowly playing in my mind...... It's crystal clear.

I scrutinized every step I had taken, and it was ...... It doesn't matter what is right or wrong, what is true and what is false, whether it is good or evil...... Love and hate......

I let out a long sigh at the thought of this.

I don't know how long it took, but I gradually fell asleep.

Suddenly, I felt something in my legs constantly colliding, even trying to bite......

I woke up and kicked my legs out, only to find that it was a couple of big fish underneath me. They swam around, trying to disturb my dreams.

I took a closer look, and it turned out that there were many, many fish under the sea, all kinds of fish, swimming in the dark water, making the dead sea surface seem smart.

I found a retractable net from my backpack, opened it, and threw it into the water. The net slowly spreads, and suddenly, a few fish go in! Then, more fish entered...... In less than ten minutes, about dozens of fish squeezed into my net!

They wandered around inside, unable to find an exit, anxious.

I'm not in a hurry to pull the net to death, because I know that the more they struggle, the tighter that net will be......

Slowly, the fish gave up their struggles and chose to swim slowly forward with the current...... I don't pull it tight, I just let them swim like this, and carry me forward.

I looked up, and suddenly I saw that the sky was slightly white, and the whole sea level seemed much brighter...... In this way, I slowly ushered in a new day with a net of fish.
