I have eight feet to fall in love with you

The sea witch went to the deep sea prison for a business trip, and she hasn't come back yet.

Clarence was worried about Alex's physical condition, so he decided to set off immediately, and the two went to find the sea witch together.

The Deep Sea Prison is located in a [-]-meter deep valley, which is twice as deep as the trench where the Coral Cave is located. The sun cannot penetrate at all, and it is pitch black.

Most of the fish here are self-illuminating, colorful and gorgeous, but the light can only meet their own needs. This deep-sea valley is still terribly dark, and you can't see your fingers, and you can't find your way at all.

Clarence couldn't be bothered by the darkness. He took out a night pearl, asked Philip to hold it, and held it in front of him for illumination. It could only illuminate an area of ​​one square meter, but it was enough.

Alice was held in Clarence's arms, quietly looking around, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

He remembered the story the other party had told about the deep sea, and the scene he described was exactly the same as what he saw now, so he asked in a low voice, "Do you not change color?"

Clarensmore, he does have the property of changing color, but only the tentacles on the lower body/body will change. If they change color now, they will become a striking fluorescent color along with the night pearl, looking like a group of glowing seaweed from a distance, Kind of funny.

However, Alex wanted to see it, and Clarence was willing to hide his face, so he really turned into a fluorescent color.

Alishi looked very surprised, he touched Victoria for a while, pinched Nicholas for a while, touched all the tentacles, and felt much better.

Half an hour later, he was tired from playing. He looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Where are we now? We shouldn't get lost, right?"

The tentacles changed back to their original colors, and Clarence said, "Soon."

He found a finger-sized conch from the space ring, blew it, and after a while, a light bulb fish swam over.

There is a long strip on the head of the light bulb fish, and a light bulb hangs from the end of the long strip, hence the name.The appearance of this fish is very ugly, with sharp teeth and fine hairy spikes on the skin. It is round and scaleless, and its body is two meters long.

It has a seat wrapped around its back, sent by the sea witch.

Clarence hugged Alis and sat on it. The light bulb fish swam fast, passing through a layer of restriction invisibly, and there was some light around it.

Alishi observed the surroundings with the dim light. Here is a steep valley with cliffs, dark and deep. The bottom of the cliff is covered with fluorescent aquatic plants, and the surrounding environment can barely be seen clearly.

On both sides of the cliff, there are solid stone prisons. This is a cliff prison.

Alexis originally thought it was too quiet here, but the further he went, the more he could hear vague whispers, occasional sharp shouts, despair, madness, and the intertwining of various negative emotions, which made the scalp numb and creepy.

Clarence frowned and said strangely, "Why did it become so gloomy? It wasn't like this before."

The bulb fish taxi drove very steadily, but the deeper it went into the deep-sea prison, the more it started to shake its rope, and the speed became faster and faster. As soon as it transported people to the destination, it immediately flicked the tail of the fish and escaped without a trace .

"...As for being so scared?" Clarence asked in confusion. When he lowered his head, he found that Alex in his arms was also trembling. His azure blue eyes were a little absent-minded, and he looked dazed, not as lively as he was outside.

Clarence frowned and shook his partner's shoulder: "Aris?"

With a shake of his shoulders, Alex suddenly came to his senses, and said in a trance, "I seem to have seen something terrifying just now."

Clarence looked at Alex and touched his forehead with his hand. He had a low fever and said, "Maybe I'm not feeling well and I'm hallucinating."

Suddenly, there was a tremor, and a door appeared on the cliff, and the sea witch waved at the door: "Little Carat, quickly bring Alis in."

The tentacles wrapped around Alex's waist, and Clarence hurried in with his partner.

The wall door was slowly closed, and the cave was brightly lit. This was a simple suite, exactly the same structure as the Coral Cave.

Clarence didn't have the heart to pay attention to these things. He didn't care about many things, and asked eagerly, "Mother-in-law, Alex's vitality is exhausted. How can I restore him?"

Grandmother Hai Wu glanced at him, and instead of answering immediately, she asked, "Where's the child?"

Clarence remembered, took out a bunch of eggs from the space ring, and handed them to the sea witch.

"How do you put it in the space ring?" Grandma Hai Wu frowned, took the octopus mermaid eggs and put them into the cloth basket beside her, and counted them, "Eight."

Alishi stared at the cloth basket and suddenly said, "It should be nine."

Clarence looked at the mermaid eggs suspiciously, and then at Alex: "I didn't count, is there one missing?"

Alex nodded and said worriedly: "You won't lose one, right?"

"I didn't lose it, it's all here." Clarence counted again, and it was indeed eight. He frowned and looked at Alex, "You didn't make a mistake at that time?"

"It's impossible for me to count wrong." Alishi said categorically. He had a shadow about the matter of giving birth and didn't dare to look at these mermaid eggs, but when he heard that his son was missing one, he didn't care about the fear, and his heart was restless, " How could there be one less? Where did it go?"

Grandma Hai Wu pondered for a moment, then said: "Don't worry about it, we'll talk about it later."

Clarence touched his head and comforted him, "Yes, we'll cure you first, and we'll talk about our son later."

What else did Alex want to say, but Clarence held him by the shoulders, took him to a deck chair beside him, and persuaded him patiently: "This is my son, he can't be doused with magma, he can't be killed with a knife. If it doesn’t break, it’s impossible for something to happen.”

Grandmother Hai Wu also came over, touched Alison's forehead, and said softly: "It's been hard these days, right? Take a good rest and get some sleep."

Alishi suddenly felt a heavy drowsiness, his eyelids could not be opened at all, and soon fell asleep.

Clarence frowned, and just about to speak, the sea witch suddenly raised her hand, stopping his questioning.

Grandmother Sea Witch: "Little Carat, hold Alishi tightly to the bedroom first, and I have something to tell you when I get out."

Clarence didn't know why, but he still did so. He helped Alishi cover the quilt, walked out of the bedroom, and asked, "Mother-in-law, can't you tell Alishi about this?"

The sea witch nodded, and asked back: "Little Carat, do you know why Alexis grows old?"

Clarence shook his head hesitantly, but his eyes drifted to the mermaid egg unconsciously.

"You guessed it right." The sea witch touched the mermaid eggs, and there was a hint of cruelty in her loving smile, "The gestation of octopus mermaids needs to absorb the vitality of the mother, and the stronger the cubs, the more they need. Vitality, I originally thought that with enough medicinal bath, Alexa might be able to avoid disaster, but I didn't expect that it was far from enough."

"Mother-in-law, it's my fault." Clarence's lips were straightened, and he blamed himself, "I didn't finish the medicinal bath, if I did, I wouldn't..."

The sea witch interrupted Clarence, and touched his head with her tentacles: "It's not your fault, little carat, Aristotle is just a human being, even if his ability is raised to the peak, he can't resist the greed of his blood." , the end result is the same.”

Clarence didn't quite understand what Granny Sea Witch meant. He frowned, looked at her wrinkled face, and suddenly had a guess in his heart: "Grandma, you can't be mine..."

The thick tentacles suddenly covered his mouth, the sea witch shook her head slowly, and said softly: "There is great power in your blood, greedy and evil, you were born with sacrifices, The same goes for your son."

Clarence quietly looked at the sea witch, the only octopus in the world, both with long curly hair like seaweed, and they were definitely related by blood.

Haimao's gray hair and aging face are all because of him.

The speculation in Clarence's mind became clearer: the sea witch was his mother, and she was so old because she gave birth to him.

But why didn't the mother-in-law admit it?

Grandmother Hai saw what he was thinking, and said seriously, "Don't think about it, I'm not your mother."

Clarence looked at her mother-in-law and nodded silently.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Grandma Hai frowned deeply, and finally sighed: "I'll take you somewhere."

Clarence followed the sea witch out of the cave and swam to the highest point of the valley, where he could see the whole picture of the deep sea prison, and even the whole valley.

The mother-in-law pointed to the west, where there was no grass, no marine life, and it was dark.

However, in this pure darkness, Clarence can vaguely feel that there is an extremely terrifying thing, which is about to move, wriggle, peep, greedy, malicious, and accumulate all kinds of negative emotions.As long as a small opening is left, it will break out of the ground and cover the entire world, causing all creatures to fall into madness and despair.

Fragmentary ravings, noisy and chaotic, drilled into his mind, biting his emotions, disturbing his thinking, and pieced together a complete sentence: Come, destroy this world with me.

Clarence was dazed for a moment, and he suddenly came back to his senses, his expression gradually became serious. He looked at the sea witch, "This is..."

The sea witch stared at him and said sternly: "You have his blood, but you must not become him."

Clarence paused and nodded silently.

Sea Witch: "Now, I can tell you how to save Aris."

Clarence looked at the Sea Witch and asked, "What should I do?"

The sea witch said solemnly: "There are two ways to make Alex change back, but both of them require you to make a lot of sacrifices."

Clarence looked at the sea witch and said seriously, "No matter what sacrifice, I can do it."

The sea witch let out a deep breath, looked at the darkness, and said softly: "The first one is to let Alex eat an octopus mermaid egg."

Clarence frowned: "No, that's our son, and Alex will definitely break down when he finds out."

The sea witch turned her head, looked at him, and sighed softly: "The second way is to let Alex eat your wrist."
