Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

Xi Sui'an was shocked when he heard the consciousness coming from the sea of ​​souls. He said coldly and alertly: "What are you?"

"Mimic octopus, the egg you bought." The other party replied lazily.

Huh? She almost forgot that she bought a half-dead egg. How did it connect to her soul sea?

The system sensed the mark, and it felt like its scalp was numb as if it didn't exist: "Host, that is the mark of the contract. It took advantage of your coma to contract you."

“What?” Xi Sui’an was about to explode. He had been contracted without knowing it?

The other party remained calm: "Why are you panicking? You bought me to contract me, so it doesn't matter if I sign the contract first."

The system was even angrier than Xi Sui'an when it heard this: "How can you generalize? Besides, you signed a symbiotic contract!" Its original intention was to let the host sign a master-servant contract to completely control this mimic octopus! Unfortunately, the host was unconscious, so it was taken advantage of. It was angry!

"Huh? What's talking?" The mimic octopus was a little confused, but he still yawned lazily and said, "Forget it, it's not important."

Xi Sui'an fell silent for a long time, and said calmly: "Although a contract is required, it is not good to sign a contract without my permission." There is still a big difference between active and passive.

"I'm almost dead. If we don't make a contract, I can't live, and neither can you. I don't want to sign a master-servant contract, and an equal contract can't keep me alive. After thinking about it, the only option is a symbiotic contract. I share your vitality, and all my talents and abilities are shared with you. It's essentially a deal, and neither of us loses."

The mimic octopus spoke a long speech and sounded very tired.

It sounds like a good deal. "What will happen if one of us dies?" Xi Sui'an thought.

The mimic octopus was a little resentful: "If I die, you will lose all my shared talents and abilities. If you die, my vitality will once again dissipate and I will die." You only lose your abilities, but I lose my life.

"You are just a human being and you don't have many years to live, so I will suffer the loss." It was very Buddhist, thinking that it would only die a few decades later. If it didn't sign, it would die. If it signed, it would die if the symbiont died halfway. Even if it died peacefully decades later, it would still die. It would die anyway, so forget it, just accept it.

"..."Xi Sui'an felt like an arrow pierced her heart. It was really a pity that she was a short-lived child.

"Okay, I'll try to live longer so we can both live longer." She agreed to the conclusion of the symbiotic contract.

"My name is Xi Sui'an," she said to her future partner in a friendly manner, "What's your name?"

The mimic octopus paused and said: "I don't have a name, you can call me anything you want." What name does an almost invisible octopus need, and no one calls it that.

"Host, call it small seafood. It is actually a delicious seafood!" The system instigated. For some reason, it didn't like this mimic octopus.

Xi Sui'an was speechless. The little octopus tried to capture the source of the sound but failed. Arguing was tiring, so he just continued to act casual and kept silent.

She coughed and ignored the system's instigation: "Then I'll call you Tide, how about that?"

The mimic octopus agreed without thinking: "Okay."

Xi Sui'an asked, "Then Chao Xi, what is the innate ability you shared with me?"

Tide's lazy voice was unhurried: "The most important talent is mimicry. You can mimic anything, living or inanimate, even invisible. However, the only hidden danger is that once it is detected, the mimicry will lose its effectiveness. Your soul power is very special, which makes up for this shortcoming very well. Once your soul power covers it, you will not be exposed even if you mimic invisibility.

Secondly, the most universal ability is to breathe in the ocean. You will not drown like a fish, and you can withstand the pressure of seawater at a depth of 3,000 meters. If you go deeper, you will have to rely on other things. "

This sounds much more reliable than that ocean blessing, Xi Sui'an thought silently.

She withdrew from the sea of ​​souls, and as soon as she regained consciousness, she felt all kinds of pain. She could feel that several of her ribs were broken, and one of her eyes could not see, so she basically lost her ability to move.

"Are you awake?" someone nearby asked doubtfully.

"I don't know, but he looked like he was awake. His eyeballs moved just now." answered another companion next to him.

"It's lucky that ordinary humans survived such serious injuries in the Lost Sea." Someone said with a smile.

She struggled to open her eyes, and saw several people looking directly at her, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you are not dead, not bad, not bad."

The three people she saw didn't look like ordinary people. She looked at them. There were two men and one woman, wearing shorts and casual clothes. The only woman had a high ponytail, a vest and long boots. She walked over with her long legs with her hands in her pockets, and her expression was cold: "Are you awake?"

"...I'm awake." She struggled to hold her chest and slowly sat up: "Where is this?"

"This is our Liberty. Our ship passed by the east of the Lost Sea and happened to see you floating on the sea, so we picked you up." The fat man next to him said with a smile. He had a beer belly and looked fat, like a middle-aged uncle in the human world.

The young man sitting on the bench looked much more refined and handsome. He wore glasses and had soft, fluffy black hair. He looked elegant and modest. "It's good that you woke up. It's not a big problem. Your internal organs are not damaged. You just broke three ribs. I don't know what affected your eyes. Can you see now?"

Xi Sui'an subconsciously touched her left eye with mixed feelings. She was silent for a moment and shook her head: "It's okay, it's not a big deal."

"Hey, little girl, I've never seen a human being like you. You don't care at all about losing an eye?" The fat uncle said in surprise, stroking his chin.

Xi Sui'an's heart skipped a beat. Wait...what race is the person in front of her now, human or something else?

She tentatively released her soul power and scanned the three people in front of her. As expected, she did not find any soul bodies. That meant they could only be aliens. However, they looked so much like humans that she could not tell what race they were.

The tall woman stood aside, looking down at Xi Sui'an who was leaning against the bed, and said calmly: "I'll pay you when you wake up. The cost of rescuing you plus medical expenses and accommodation is 100,000."

"..." Xi Sui'an pursed her lips, feeling her chest ache even more. One hundred thousand? Yueyue from the merman tribe only charged her a hundred. The capitalists are so conscientious, how can you be more greedy than the capitalists?

She quickly recalled that she had spent 360,000 yuan before and had a balance of 90,000 yuan, which was good, not enough to redeem herself.

Xi Sui'an cast a suspicious look over there: "...Are you really not pirates?"

"Who are those damn pirates?" The fat man quickly retorted, "We are smuggling...ah, we are middlemen!"

Xi Sui'an said silently, "I heard it." She looked over and said, "Are you... smugglers?"

The gentle and easy-going man rolled his eyes, not angry, and said gently: "Not really, we prefer to call ourselves boundary merchants, traveling between the two realms to trade. Some forces in the human world want to obtain some things from the foreign realm, and the foreign realm sometimes needs things from the human world, which gave birth to boundary merchants like us.

But in the eyes of Damocles's inspection department and the gatekeepers, we are no different from smugglers." He said with some self-mockery.

No way, she fell into the lair of Damocles's enemy forces?! Her luck was too bad.
