How to become a sea witch

No matter which version, the beginning of the story always looks like this:

"Below sea level, where sight can no longer reach, the water is still as blue as the petals of the most beautiful cornflower, and at the same time as clear and transparent as the brightest glass. And yet it is deep, deep, So deep that no anchor chain can reach the bottom..."[1]

"Stop, stop, I already know it before, please skip to the ending, please? I have endured this boring beginning ten thousand times, just want to know if I have played any new tricks in this story ?”

While talking impatiently, Bernice brushed away the jet-black hair that was rolled up to her eyes by the water flow, and held them behind her head.

Then, she moved her slender wrist that was restrained by the spirit lock, and struggled to catch a starfish from the gap in the cell's stone wall, tied up her long hair that was about to hang down to her waist, and moved her finger to poke the starfish in her arms. The little starfish with its twisting hair let it rest on its head.

Standing outside the barrier of the water prison is the new prison guard, a young winged angel with a slender figure and a white uniform.The strong racial advantage made him look quite eye-catching even though he was covered with the death blue light color of the barrier water film.

The prison guard flipped his wrist, closed the storybook again, sighed, and asked, "Then what do you want to hear?"

"It's different. For example, as a witch of the sea, I suddenly became merciful this time. I didn't want any mermaid singing. I changed it to let her cry in front of me. I was kind-hearted and gave her the ability to change into a pair." Potions for legs..."

"Be sober." The angel looked at her expressionlessly, and raised his finger to the relief carved on the dome, "Do you still remember where this is and how you got in?"

The totems imprinted on the towering vault are pure white and gold-rimmed Holy Sword of Judgment and the All-Seeing Eye. Surrounded by waves with complicated lines, they are held in the palms of their hands.

This is the guardian emblem of the Meteor Garden, and all those imprisoned in it are creatures who have committed serious crimes, regardless of race.

Bernice didn't look up, she just rolled her eyes, cast a symbolic glance at the solemn and solemn logo, her light green eyes blinked, her expression looked innocent and soft: "However, I have been shot five times in a row. Wasn't it selected as a 'model representative'? So, I hope that my image can become more positive in the fairy tales of the human world, and it should be possible, right?"

"Yes, a model representative among many prisoners." The angel remained unmoved.

It has only been three months since he came to this sinful crime garden, and he has been guarding this prisoner of the sea tribe numbered 0331.

It is said that this is a standard procedure that every newcomer will go through in the past few decades, in order to exercise the patience that a prison guard should have, and to get rid of the superfluous compassion of being an angel.

At the beginning, he didn't quite understand what it had to do with his assignment to guard 0331.

But within a week he understood.

Nothing else, purely because this 0331 is too troublesome.

When the temperature in the water prison was high, it would be screaming, and if the salinity fluctuated slightly, it would start to pretend to be dead.

He could read non-stop for a whole day when he was on guard and on duty, and there were always fancy, frivolous and unremarkable words in his mouth.

From time to time, she made a movement like she was going to escape from prison, but when the prison guard team arrived, she found out that she just woke up and was too boring, so she wanted to find a smart creature to chat with and so on.

I really don't know how long I have to guard her, Angel closed his eyes in despair, feeling that his career in the Fallen Garden has already been severely challenged at the very beginning.

Perhaps it was his daily pious prayers that finally moved the God of Light. Seven days later, Bernice was suddenly taken away from the Death Sin Garden by a parole order.

And the one who brought this order was Gabriel, the Seraph Archangel of the Vault of Heaven.

It was dusk then.

The entire sky was burned brightly by that majestic and gorgeous golden-red twilight, and the overly brilliant sunset glow spread on the endless clouds, scorching people's sight like melting gold all over the ground.

The angels who came back from patrolling in the air retracted their wings and landed one after another on the long steps outside the gate of the Meteor Garden. Their pure white feathers were kissed by the afterglow of the setting sun with an illusory flame color.

After dusk comes the night of Xinghai Jinye, which is the sinful garden that Bernice is familiar with.

A prison built in mid-air.

Looking out from the water prison she was in, she could only see a small square of sky outside.

The clouds were all under the floating city, and everything outside the window was clear.The starlight is a shiny diamond that has been ground all over the ground, thin and hazy, and illuminates the water prison into a clear translucency.

When the door opened, the emblem on the dome of the cell flashed.

Bernice lay on the edge of the barrier with her back to the gate, staring at the sky outside in a daze, shaking her hands without looking back, pulling the heavy chains on her body with a muffled sound: "Tomorrow, I'll change it." Let’s go back to the previous one, the smell of flying fish is a bit too weak.”

According to the usual practice, after she finished saying this, she would always be warned by the other party that she was in prison, so don't always pick and choose.

But this time, what answered her was a completely unfamiliar voice.

"Bernice Wright, racial demon, 710, three years old, sea witch. Imprisoned in 360, 17 of the New Era, converted to a light prisoner 54 years ago, and has served [-] years in prison."

Bernice turned her head in surprise, and saw more than a dozen angels in uniforms and swords lining up outside the barrier.The one at the head...

She focused on the pale golden holy halo on the top of the opponent's head. The edge was in the shape of a six-pointed star, which meant that this was a demigod-level seraphim.

The number of seraphs in the entire Universe God Realm can probably be counted on one hand.

"is it you?"

He turned his eyes from the file in his hand to the sea witch in front of him. His long brown hair was tied with a white headband and fell on his shoulders. His pale golden eyes were narrow and sharp, reminiscent of the sunshine in winter, cold and cold. brilliant.

It seems the rumors are true.

The beauty of an angel's appearance will really double rapidly as one's rank rises.

It's just that unlike other angels, the archangel in front of him doesn't have any affinity at all in terms of temperament or demeanor.

His tone was indifferent, and his expression lacked the vitality it should have. When he stood still facing the light, he looked like an exquisite ice sculpture just dug out of the Serkir Snow Mountain, exuding a fresh and strong cold air.

"Can I say it's not me?" Bernice carefully stared at the seraphim in front of her, and smiled very reluctantly, "Or, should I greet you politely first, nice to meet you?"

After all, the last seraphim who came here was to personally execute the death row prisoners in the Death Sin Garden.

A total of 32 demons and dark elves were executed. For three consecutive days after the Holy Sword of Judgment was unsheathed, even the Milky Way was bright red.

When she was wondering what she did to attract this seraphim, so she automatically ignored the other party's question and did not answer, the guard at the side had already said for her: "It is indeed No. 0331, sir. "

Gabriel nodded slightly, turned and walked out: "Bring her here."

"What? Wait..."

Bernice shrunk herself into a ball in horror, trying to hide behind those layers of chains, but was still lifted out by the guard angels one by one from left to right.

She tried to struggle, but the spirit-seal lock on her wrist and neck immediately tied her tightly like an octopus, and she was forced to follow the two angels reluctantly towards the interrogation room, every time Every step is full of resistance.

"So, it's definitely because I don't like flying fish, right?" Bernice looked at one of the angels pitifully, her light green eyes were full of pleading, it looked like two emerald stones that were about to melt, Bright yet strangely hollow, "they don't taste that bad actually...I mean, I promise I won't bother you guys with excuses, okay? Why aren't you talking...I thought After so many years of being together day and night, we have formed an inseparable and precious friendship, how would you live without me..."

While thinking about it, she was dragged forward in despair by the two prison guards who kept silent all the time.

The main color of the Air Prison is pure white like angel wings, every inch is clean and spotless.

The too barren and monotonous visual experience made Bernice's eyes start to lose focus. At the same time, for the first time, she experienced the so-called "walking on the tip of a knife with every step" in human fairy tales.

Seeing that the door was about to open, she decided to make a last desperate struggle: "To be honest, this officer and I are only meeting for the first time. I'm afraid it's not good to just share the same room like this? Don't you worry?"

After hearing her words, Gabriel, who was sitting on a chair and looking down at the files, looked up at the door in a timely manner, his golden eyes were lifeless: "Can you see how many horns the holy halo on my head has?"

After he finished speaking, the six-pointed holy halo floating above his head flickered.

Bernice blinked her eyes that were a little blurred by the holy light: "Six."

"That means I can do whatever I want in this crime garden, and you have no chance of defeating me, so they don't need to worry."

"... But what I mean is to let them worry about me..."

Gabriel was silent for half a second, and then with an audible oh, he raised his chin towards the chair opposite, motioning for her to sit over.

Bernice hesitated for a few seconds, and finally chose to do what the other party said.

The prison guard who came in unlocked the spirit seal for her, then turned and left, leaving only her and the new Seraph Archangel in the room.

He turned the file in front of him half a circle, and pushed it in front of Bernice, with a quill pen pressed on the cover: "Sign it."

"Can I see what this is?"

"random."

She stopped breathing, and then took a deep breath, her straight back seemed to be under great pressure, her hands pulled out the parchment that was caught in the file shell as gently as possible, her brows were furrowed, The expression was solemn and heavy, as if he was pulling out the bones of some living creature tremblingly.

The sound of rubbing between the pages was smooth and crisp, revealing the inside full of words.On the place where the head is raised, there is a line of big characters written in a fancy style of common language:

A license to release a living being released from prison with a light sentence in Meteor Park.

Bernice was stunned for a moment, instinctively feeling that she was hallucinating.

Then she stuffed the parchment back into the file case, pressed her hands on it, and remained silent for tens of seconds.

"What are you doing?" Gabriel tilted his head.

"I'm thinking maybe the way I opened it just now is not right." She replied, then took another deep breath and opened the file in front of her.

What catches the eye is still the content just now.

"This is your proof of release from prison on parole. After signing, you can temporarily leave here and enter the assessment period. The time limit is seven months." Gabriel explained in a very formulaic tone, "If you pass, you can Officially released."

"Get out... get out of prison?" Bernice looked at the other party blankly, feeling that he could understand every word he said, but it was difficult to understand when combined.

It's not that she hasn't thought about the day when she will regain her freedom, but when this opportunity really comes, it seems extremely unreal.

After spending a few minutes reluctantly accepting this sudden and frightening surprise, Bernice swallowed hard and asked tentatively, "But, I haven't applied for parole to be released from prison, why did you come to find me?"

Could it be that she was selected as a "model representative" five times in a row?

But that was completely set off by other demons.

After all, although she is an annoying spirit, she hasn't really done anything out of the ordinary.

Of course gang fights don't count.

That was the first move by other demons, and she was just defending herself.

"An order from someone above, you can call it good luck." Gabriel replied vaguely, and then irresistibly skipped the subject, just saying, "Sign it, the parole period starts tomorrow."

After confirming again and again that the logo on the license was really imprinted with the magic of light rather than painted on, she picked up the quill at the side and paused for a few seconds on the parchment with the tip of the pen stained with dragon's blood ink. , blooming a dark flower.

She stopped and looked at the Archangel in front of her again, her speech became fast and erratic because of her nervousness and various complex emotions: "Can you say something to calm me down? Because I haven't met since I was a child." What can be called a lucky thing, every time I thought that the Supreme God finally began to take pity on me, and soon I would fall into a worse situation than before..."

"Isn't this normal?" Gabriel said blankly, "You are a sea witch, one of the monarch-level demons carved on the Twelve Sins Pillar, and God's mercy will certainly not be a good thing for you. Besides, this It's just parole, the assessment period is seven months, and the inspector is me."

"...Thank you, I feel much calmer now." Bernice quickly wrote her name in the column where the demon's signature was released, and then closed the file and pushed it back, "But you should have said earlier that you came to see me because of this What happened, it caused me to worry for a long time in vain just now, and I almost admitted that I was the one who helped the succubus next door watch the angel take a shower."

After hearing her words, Gabriel's hand holding the document could not help but pause, then nodded and replied: "I think I will investigate this matter seriously."

"??? Wait - I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously!"

Are Seraphs such a species without humor? !

After automatically ignoring the other party's crazy explanation, Gabriel walked outside the interrogation room and said to the angel guarding the door, "Take 0331 back to the water prison, and I'll come back tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Notify all the guards that after taking a bath, they must find a companion to stand guard and be more vigilant."

"……Yes?"

After the confession, Gabriel walked out of the Fallen Sin Garden and stood on the top of the endless white stairs. In front of him was the dark blue sky that was gradually darkening, and there were clusters of bright iridescent stars.

He took out the sound-transmitting seashell and spoke to it, his tone still low, but his attitude was very respectful: "I have notified Meteor Garden that 0331 will enter the parole period starting tomorrow, and I will be responsible for sending her to you. "

The blue light cluster in the center of the seashell flickered, and then a clear and pleasant young male voice came out from inside, like cool sea water pouring out after being filled with gentle sunlight: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. In addition, Peng How is the matter with Del Shan now?"

"Returning to the crown, it is basically over, and the leak level was adjusted back to level three yesterday, and it is expected to remain under observation for three to six months."

"Have you figured out who caused the trouble?"

"It's the Jersey Devil, and it's being held in a containment cell right now."

"Then bring him here first, I just happen to be free."

"Yes."
