I’m No Longer Human After Being Blacklisted – CH1

Chapter 1 – Came Back After Five Years Fishing

In the deep sea, a school of silver carp is chasing after a black shadow.

The black shadow has a human body and a fish tail, with long black hair floating in the water. Every time the inky fish tail swings, it will knock away the fish that come to bite it. The long white bone spear breaks through the resistance and accurately pierces the fish body, dyeing the sea water bright red. The sharp webbed hands drag the bone spear, and with a swing of the inky fish tail, it has already rushed away from the scene, and the silver fish are chasing frantically.

“Splash!”

A young man emerged from the sea, his long wet hair sticking to his snow-white back. He threw the fish he caught onto the reef and climbed upwards with his arms, away from the sea. The silver fish that caught up with him jumped out of the water unwillingly, biting his inky fish tail with their sharp teeth.

The young man swung the bone spear and slapped the big silver carps that was chasing and biting back into the sea. After several times, the silver carps finally did not dare to jump out of the water easily and continued to circle around the reef unwillingly.

The young man skillfully grabbed the fish, gutted it, removed the scales, revealing the bright red fish meat, and Lin Jiu started today’s lunch.

This is the 1825th day since he came into this world, and it has been five years.

He came to this world full of sea water because of a car accident and fell on a small island. There was no food or water on the island. He could not wait for rescue and lived the life of a savage. He survived day after day by catching seafood and picking wild fruits.
The island is surrounded by the sea and has no fresh water. Even if Lin Jiu wanted to survive in the wilderness and switch to fresh water, he couldn’t do it. There was nothing here, no trace of any human existence. It was as clean as returning to the primitive state.

A week later, Lin Jiu felt like he was about to die of thirst, so he staggered into the sea and gulped down the salty water. He finally came to his senses a little. He thought that drinking the sea water would make him sick, and that he would become more and more thirsty and weaker and weaker. But none of that happened. He came back to life and had the strength to continue catching seafood.

A few months passed like this. On a rainy night, the sea water surged and submerged the island. Lin Jiu thought he would be drowned. He struggled in the sea for a long time, but the sea water failed to drown him. His legs were gone and grew into a fish tail. His palms turned into webbed feet and his ears turned into gills. He could breathe freely in the sea…

He made a living by fishing in the sea for five years.

After finishing the delicious fish in his hand, Lin Jiu suddenly heard a mechanical sound.

[Intelligent life has been captured, searching for the source of life… Primary civilization – Earth. ]

[Earth civilization is now loading, and the mother tongue of intelligent life is being transformed…]

[Earth civilization was successfully loaded and language conversion was successful.]

[Race: Siren; Bloodline: Mixed]

[Achievement: Hunted 10,000 ferocious demon fish, won a “Demon Hunter Expert” medal, and was rewarded with a Sea King Harpoon.]

[Conditions met, Demon Hunting System binding in progress…]

[The Demon Hunting System has been successfully bound. ]

The fish bone in Lin Jiu’s hand fell to the ground with a “plop”.

He hadn’t heard a human voice for a long, long time. Even though it was a mechanical voice, it moved him so much that he almost cried.

The scene in front of Lin Jiu suddenly changed, and a virtual three-dimensional image appeared in front of him.

[Scanned the fish bones left over by the host.]

[Monster Name: Silver Carp]

[Habits: Living in groups]

[Features: delicious fish]

[Danger index: ?]

[Effects: (1) Bone marrow improves eyesight; (2) Meat strengthens the body]

[Do you want to recycle fish bones? ]

Lin Jiu: “…”

Looking at the fish bones dropped on the ground, Lin Jiu fell into deep silence.

Lin Jiu has eaten a lot of fish in the past five years, and he likes this kind of fish the most. The reason is simple: the fish is of moderate size, the color of the fish meat is a bit like the salmon which he is familiar with, but it is more bright red than salmon meat, and the taste is also very good, and there is no psychological burden to eat it.

After eating the fish for five years, he still didn’t know what the fish was called, and he threw away all the essence of its bone marrow.

Lin Jiu tried to answer, “Yes.”

He hadn’t spoken for so long that he was almost losing the ability to speak.

[Silver carp bone was successfully recovered, and 1 magic point was awarded. ]

The fish bones on the ground disappeared, the virtual image of the silver fish disappeared, and an attribute panel reappeared. The magic points in the lower right corner changed from 0 to 1, the “Demon Hunter Expert” medal appeared in the achievement column, and a harpoon icon appeared in the weapon column.

Lin Jiu raised his hand and clicked the harpoon icon, and a beautiful silver harpoon appeared in his hand, which looked very familiar.

Lin Jiu: “…”

This is the real Neptune harpoon, except the color is different. Lin Jiu was a little suspicious whether the system had obtained Aquaman’s prop harpoon. The harpoon is quite heavy and feels very good. It looks like the real thing and doesn’t look like a prop. The reward for getting a medal shouldn’t be such a rip-off.

[Monster Hunting Mission: Silver Carp x 10]

[Introduction: Silver carp below 1 meter is not a good silver carp]

[Mission time limit: 10 days]

[Mission Reward: 10 Magic Points]

[Failure penalty: deduct 10 magic points and close the gate for 100 days]

Lin Jiu’s heart skipped a beat. “Boundary Gate, what is it?”

[Travel through the gate between the two worlds.]

Lin Jiu closed his eyes and suppressed his pounding heart. “Does that mean I can go back?”

He had thought of countless ways to go back, but none of them worked. He thought he would die alone in the sea for the rest of his life, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and he could actually go back!

[Each time the gate is opened, 5 points of magic are consumed. Please try your best to obtain magic points. ]

Lin Jiu was so happy that he went crazy. Aren’t they just 10 silver carps? He was able to hunt silver carp with a bone spear made from fish bones, so now that he had a harpoon in his hand, there was no reason for him to fail!

Lin Jiu swung his big tail and moved to the edge of the reef. As soon as the big tail was put into the sea, the silver carps that had not left immediately swarmed over. Lin Jiu raised the killing harpoon…

All 10 silver carps were thrown onto the reef. The silver carps went crazy. Lin Jiu climbed onto the reef in a hurry. The silver carps jumped up to bite him, but Lin Jiu slapped them into the sea, thus avoiding having his tails bitten.

[Task completed, gain 10 magic points. ]

[Congratulations to the host, you have triggered the treasure chest reward and received a wooden treasure chest. ]

The 10 silver carps that were forked up were jumping around wildly on the reef and did not disappear.

Lin Jiu was puzzled, “The system doesn’t want the silver fish?”

[The prey belongs to the host.]

[The sea monsters have lost their natural enemies for a long time, and they are overrun. Warriors like the host are urgently needed to help maintain the balance of species in the sea of ??monsters. ]

[All things have spirits. The fate of sea monsters is to become food for natural enemies. The host can hunt them, but they cannot be wasted. ]

Lin Jiu: “…”

If the demon hunting tasks issued by the system are all about hunting sea monsters, and they must be eaten up to avoid wasting them, how long will it take him to finish the task? And if he only eats one type of sea monster, he will get tired of it very easily.

The virtual stereoscopic image appeared again, and a wooden treasure chest icon appeared in the inventory. Lin Jiu clicked it casually.

[Congratulations to the host for opening a one cubic meter fish pond. ]

Lin Jiu: “???”

His eyes fell on the 10 silver carps on the ground.

Lin Jiu clicked on the fish pond, and a one cubic meter virtual fish pond appeared, filled with sea water. He picked up the silver carps with a harpoon and threw it in. The fish pond was full of fish and it was very crowded. The silver carps hit the fish pond fiercely, but the fish pond did not move at all and was very solid.

The sea creatures in the Demon Sea are very ferocious. Lin Jiu had seen with his own eyes that a large fish that was chasing and biting him smashed a reef with its head, yet was still able to jump and bite him safely.

Lin Jiu store away the harpoon into the icon and couldn’t wait to go back.

[Warning: The host is a creature of the Demon Sea and needs to obtain energy from demon creatures to survive. If the magic value is less than 0, the system will automatically shut down, the boundary gate cannot be opened, and the host cannot return to the Demon Sea. Without magic energy replenishment, the host will become weaker and weaker, and eventually die. Please use the magic value with caution. ]

[Do you want to open the gate? ]

Lin Jiu asked the system to wait for a moment, then jumped into the sea again, found a few magic clams under the reef, and stuffed them into the fish pond to keep for a change of taste. The 1 cubic meter fish pond was too small, and the demon sea creatures were too big, and small creatures were difficult to find.

The transformation from a fish tail into human legs is a process of splitting tendons and bones, and cause the entire fish tail has to be shed. Lin Jiu experienced this once, and it almost killed him with pain. But in order to go back, he did not hesitate this time.

[Please choose the location where the gate opens.]

Lin Jiu lay on the reef. The inky black fish tail had turned into snow-white white legs. The inky black fish tail shrunk to the side and had lost its shimmer.

Lin Jiu’s face turned pale with pain, “Go, home.”

He was now naked and had nowhere to go except home.

[The gate is opened, 5 magic points are deducted. ]

The huge suction force carried Lin Jiu away into the vast sea of ????magic. When he reappeared, he was already in his house in City A.

Lin Jiu fell to the ground and it took him a long time to stand up again. He hadn’t walked on his own legs for a long time and felt a little unfamiliar with them.

He walked slowly to the bathroom, wanting to take a shower, but was a little hesitant. He turned on the faucet and carefully dipped his fingertips in the water, but there was no change. He bravely wet his entire hand, but there was still no change.

Lin Jiu then turned on the shower with confidence. There was hot water at home, so he took a comfortable hot bath. He did not turn into a siren, which made him very relaxed. He dried his hair, went to the cloakroom, and found a set of clothes he had worn before.

Just like when he left, he had not grown taller, his appearance was more delicate than before, and his skin was exceptionally fair, making him look very young.All the savings from three years since debut were spent on this house. The house is not big, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The layout and lighting are very good, and Lin Jiu likes it very much.

Since young, he longed to have a home of his own. He believed that if he had a house of his own, he would have a home. So he took out all his savings and bought this house. He had just renovated it and lived in it for less than two months when he had a car accident.

He had never thought that one day he would be able to afford a house in City A, and he was very content.

He tied his long hair casually, put on a hat and a mask, took the cash and spare keys from home and went out.

All his documents were lost in the Demon Sea, so he had to go to the police station to get a new ID, report the loss of his bank card, and buy a mobile phone.

Lin Jiu took a taxi to the local police station, explained the situation, and applied for a new ID card. He was recognized by the police when he was taking a photo.

Lin Jiu then realized that he had been missing on Earth for a year. His agent couldn’t find him and had reported the case to the police. The police had been investigating for a year but had no clues. No one knew where he was, whether alive or dead. Unexpectedly, Lin Jiu came to the police station on his own to apply for a new ID card.

Lin Jiu was taken to the Criminal Investigation Bureau for questioning. He was still a little confused, and based on the principle that the more you speak, the more mistakes you make, so he tried to speak as little as possible.

He took a taxi back and had a car accident, which took him directly to the Demon Sea. He didn’t know the specific situation at that time and wonder if this weird scene of a living person suddenly disappearing from the car scared the driver.

Faced with the questioning, Lin Jiu remained silent. He didn’t want to make up a lie that would not match the clues found by the police.

Lin Jiu’s appearance is very outstanding. He sits upright with curled eyelashes, looks like he is waiting to be scolded and is as well-behaved as a primary school student.

The criminal police did not expect that Lin Jiu would be able to return safely. He is a celebrity and was subjected to cyberbullying before he disappeared, the longer the police investigated the case, the more they felt that the situation was grim. There are many cases of celebrity kidnappings, most of which are for money or revenge. If it was for money, none of Lin Jiu’s few relatives and friends received a ransom call.

Lin Jiu’s interpersonal relationships are also very simple. Apart from his teammates and agent, he doesn’t have anyone he is too familiar with. He has a gentle temperament and has never had conflicts with others, so it is unlikely that he would seek revenge. If a stranger committed the crime, the possibility of him surviving after being missing for so long is very low.

The police do not rule out another possibility, that Lin Jiu could not bear the external pressure and chose to end his life.

No matter what kind of speculation, there must be evidence, and the police are most in need of evidence. In modern society, a person cannot disappear without leaving any clues and appear safely a year later. This kind of thing should only exist in science fiction movies, but now it has happened to the police.

The detective couldn’t get any information out of him, so he gave him some serious advice and told him to remember to inform his family and friends that he was safe, as they were all very worried about him.

Lin Jiu felt strange. How come he didn’t know that he had a family?

After asking, Lin Jiu found out that it was Grandpa Lin’s son Lin Hai who heard that he was missing and came to the police station to inquire whether he was dead. The police replied that they were still investigating. Lin Hai went to the police station every few days to inquire about the progress, but suddenly stopped coming.

The police thought he was very suspicious and after an investigation, they found out what Lin Hai was busy with. He was anxious to confirm whether Lin Jiu was dead or alive because he wanted to get Lin Jiu’s inheritance. He went to the police station, went to the company to demand compensation, and consulted a lawyer. As a result, he was told that even if Lin Jiu was really dead, it would not be easy for Lin Hai to get Lin Jiu’s inheritance. What’s more, Lin Jiu’s death had not been confirmed, but he was missing, and Lin Jiu’s property could not be touched. Lin Hai then went home.

The criminal police contacted Lin Jiu’s agent and asked her to pick him up, but Qiu Er said she was busy and couldn’t come, so she asked Lin Jiu to go to the company by himself.

After leaving the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Lin Jiu continued his journey and applied for a new card without using the previous number.

After finishing his work, he went straight home.

He hasn’t figured out how to deal with the coming storm.
