At least, he knew he was on a warship, a Japanese warship, and he remembered that the mountain he had detonated was Mount Fuji, a Japanese mountain, and that he... should be Chinese...
He remembered that he looked different before. Before... he seemed to be taller and his body wasn't as clean as it is now. Instead, he should have had some tattoos and black wings on his back.
But now, everything has changed.
But this is for the best, at least... I should be a human being.
Chen Xiao made a grinning face at himself in the mirror.
But... who am I?
Chen Xiao frowned, vigorously wiped the water from his face, and then punched the mirror in front of him. With a bang, the mirror shattered, and several cuts appeared on his palm, blood flowing from between his fingers.
Chen Xiao was awakened by the pain in his palm. He glanced at his injured hand and frowned.
"You're bleeding..." A bitter smile appeared on his face.
Fortunately... those people outside didn't realize my true intentions.
Actually, Chen Xiao's current situation is not good.
He could clearly feel that his body was very weak. The signs of this weakness were very obvious.
Since he woke up, although his mind was very clear, he could clearly feel that the amazing and powerful energy in his body had disappeared... or rather, was disappearing rapidly!
He could still walk and move, but it seemed he could no longer fly in the sky like before. He felt like... a battery that had run out of power?
When he first woke up, he had been shot but was unharmed. Moreover, he used a little mental power to control those poor prisoners, bringing them back from more than ten meters away.
But now, he felt all of his "magical" abilities disappearing rapidly!
While in the restaurant, Chen Xiao already felt his energy was extremely weak, but he still gathered his last bit of energy and detonated the overhead light to intimidate those guys.
And now... even glass can cut my body.
This must not be known to the prisoners outside. Otherwise, if they find out how weak I am, they might rebel immediately.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath.
Unlike those smugglers, Chen Xiao was not worried that the Japanese military would send troops immediately.
The reason is simple: he remembered chasing down an entire Japanese fleet single-handedly, only to destroy it all by himself. This information must have been carried back by the Japanese soldiers who abandoned ship.
Even if the Japanese military was shaken, now that he had demonstrated his ability to destroy a fleet single-handedly, they would at least have to carefully weigh the options or make a thorough plan before sending any more troops. After all, the Japanese military wasn't stupid. If he could wipe out a fleet, wouldn't sending just any random person to their deaths as cannon fodder?
At least, they won't blindly send troops to their deaths until they find a way to counter them. Even if they do send troops, they'll need to mobilize a much larger fleet to encircle and annihilate them... Do they need to deploy an entire carrier battle group?
Chen Xiao grinned. Even so, mobilizing an aircraft carrier battle group isn't that easy. So there's still plenty of time.
Chen Xiao dried himself off, put on his clothes, and looked at the cut on his finger from the glass. After thinking for a moment, he found a pair of gloves in the captain's cabin and put them on.
When Chen Xiao stepped out of the captain's cabin, he saw several smugglers waiting outside the door in fear. As soon as they saw Chen Xiao come out, they immediately lowered their heads respectfully.
Chen Xiao deliberately straightened his body, let out a cold snort as he swept his gaze over the group of guys, and then swaggered toward the deck.
He chuckled inwardly: If those guys knew he was this weak, capable of knocking him out with a single punch, they'd probably...
Chen Xiao's heart tightened. No, he couldn't expose his weakness! Otherwise, these timid quails would immediately turn into ferocious wolves and tear him to pieces!
As Chen Xiao walked off the deck, he continued to ponder.
He clearly remembers the abilities he should possess.
The remnants of his memory told him that he must have mastered a great deal of power, the strength of which was already evident in the explosion of Mount Fuji. He must possess immense physical strength, powerful mental fortitude, telekinesis, and teleportation, and more…
Chen Xiao's fingers clenched quietly.
The only thing he was certain of was that these abilities now seemed to have left his body. He was now just an ordinary person with normal physical strength, capable of feeling pain and bleeding.
Let alone using mental power to hurt someone, he couldn't even move a spoon with his mental power.
Standing on the deck, Chen Xiao deliberately walked discreetly to the pile of guns left behind by the Japanese soldiers. He picked up a gun expressionlessly, making a nonchalant face as if he were just casually playing with it, but he didn't put it down.
At least, given my current weakened state, I need to retain some ability to defend myself.
Pretending to casually play with the gun, Chen Xiao quickly checked the condition of the ammunition inside.
At this moment, the smugglers behind Chen Xiao still stood respectfully with their hands at their sides.
Several of the guys had guns; from this angle, any one of them could easily raise their hand and shoot Chen Xiao dead.
But who dares?
The brains of the comrade who shot Chen Xiao are still on the deck!
Seeing Chen Xiao seemingly playing with a gun with great interest, none of the smugglers would have imagined that this terrifying ghost had become so weak that he needed a gun as a weapon.
The old whistle had already hurriedly washed up and changed into a clean pair of trousers. These trousers, which he'd apparently found in some soldier's trunk, were slightly short, making the old whistle's attire look rather odd. His head was still wet. Looking at Chen Xiao's retreating figure, he stammered, "You..."
"As long as you obey, I will not hurt you."
Chen Xiao weighed the options in his mind.
He had two choices. First, let these guys leave. He had already found out in the restaurant that they were smugglers and their smuggling boat was anchored on the sea not far away.
Let these guys leave, and I won't have to worry about them turning on me while I'm weak.
Anyway, the Japanese army won't be back anytime soon, so I'm safe staying on this warship alone for the time being.
