How to become a sea witch
Chapter 16, Part sixteen
The ocean has never been a battleground for angels, and once the mutants are submerged underwater, their attacks are greatly weakened.
Seeing that many mutants were constantly diving and fleeing to the depths of the ocean, Blake swung his sword angrily and slashed the light blade towards the rough water surface.Immediately after the golden holy light entered the water, a large wave of crimson blood was splashed, and the turbid water droplets leaping high were stained with the snow-white feathers of the angel's wings, but they were not stained at all.
For a moment, only a large number of killed mutant corpses were left floating on the turbulent sea, dyeing the seawater into an almost ominous deep crimson.
Blake withdrew his sword and turned to look at Gabriel not far away: "Sir,? They all escaped."
Compared to his annoyance, Gabriel is obviously much calmer, his face is still calm and indifferent, and the boiling blood waves on the sea are clearly reflected in his golden eyes: "They are hurt, they will come back Go to the bottom of the sea where the ghost ship is really, and His Majesty will clean them up there."
"However, that number 0331 is also in the ghost ship." Blake paused for a moment when he said this, seemed to be choosing his words carefully, and then continued, "Won't she get in the way of Your Majesty?"
Gabriel was silent for half a second, and quickly replied: "I believe Your Majesty,? Since he will act with 0331, he must have his own thorough consideration. It is enough for us to handle the follow-up confidentiality work. "
"Yes."
……
Looking at the rich and bright red in the mirror, Bernice felt her scalp numb to the point of suffocation, but also sincerely felt that what the Cheshire Cat and Jack of Hearts said was right.
It was an absolute miracle that she was alive beside Thiago and kept her body intact.
And judging from the picture presented in the magic mirror, although the split memory does have some missing parts,? So there will be many incoherent or even blank phenomena.But this is too different from what Bernice guessed at the beginning.
She always felt that the reason Thiago had no hostility towards her was because he basically didn't remember being tricked and stabbed by her back then.But now it seems that he basically remembers everything.
This is very scary.
Combined with Thiago's various performances all the time, no matter how you think about it, there is a taste of shocking conspiracy.
And in all fairness, although this kind of behavior of tricking the ignorant milk fish into killing him is indeed a bit vicious, it is not entirely Bernice's own will. At least she really didn't think about killing Tiago.
It's only because she couldn't control the frantic magic power that she had inherited passively at that time, and was even manipulated by it to arouse all the negative darkness in her heart. The things she said.
She would become a monster, a twisted monster like Ursula was now.The bloodline curse of the sea witch will follow her forever, gnawing at her flesh and blood, and sucking her soul dry, until she is completely reduced to a puddle of pus.
This crazy and terrifying idea occupied all of Bernice's sanity.
She didn't remember seeing Thiago at all, let alone ever touched him.
Even when she was arrested and sent to the Falling Crime Garden, she confessed without any resistance to all the crimes that she had no memory of, but it was only for the Judgment Bureau to immediately sentence her to death, so that she could be freed earlier.
So, was he so fierce back then?
The stabbing of Sea God was not only successful, but also more than one stab. This was simply the highlight moment in her entire life, so brilliant that she wanted to cry, and wanted to go in and beat herself up.
"It's really interesting." The magic mirror looked at the mermaid boy in the mirror who was surrounded by blood, but remained calm, with long golden eyelashes hanging slightly and said nothing. He rolled his eyes and stared at Bernice beside him inexplicably. "I thought no matter what, at this point, he should hate you somewhat."
Bernice was stunned, and then she heard the magic mirror continue to say in a vaguely confused tone: "But I don't feel this kind of emotion at all. He doesn't hate you, he's just sad."
Although her conclusion sounded weird and awkward, the result was not beyond Bernice's expectations.This bet involves the lives of many human beings. With Thiago's personality, even if he hated her deceit and injury at the beginning, he will definitely pretend that nothing happened, so that the magic mirror will not be aware of it.
Thinking of this, Bernice couldn't help but worry about her situation again.After all, it is one thing for the magic mirror not to feel negative emotions, but it is another thing exactly what Thiago is thinking.
She didn't think Thiago really didn't care.
This is easy to understand, if it were her own, forgiveness would be impossible, she would just kick the other party to hell to repent.
Thinking about it this way, Bernice found desperately that it was impossible to fool Tiago to undo the curse for herself. It would be safer and more practical to think of a way to squat back to the Sin Garden for retirement.
As soon as she had this thought, Chao Ling's voice suddenly came from her ear again, weak and almost innocent: "The cleaning is over, and the fleeing mutants are coming here."
That means you can start beating directly, right?
Bernice turned her head to look at the magic mirror on the side, and continued her "just sad" sentence with a dark expression: "Then I think you will soon be more sad than him."
As soon as the words fell, countless green threads of light immediately grew out from all directions, and surrounded the magic mirror in an instant.The bone blade spun in a circle in the palm of Bernice's hand.
After the magic mirror noticed her actions, he quickly dodged away.However, Bernice's movements were obviously much faster than hers, the thin and sharp blade cut through the water easily, and cut a conspicuous white scar on her neck.
After a short period of shock, the magic mirror stared at her with a sneer, his face showed a strange stiffness because of the incoordination of his expression: "It seems that you don't plan to care about the lives of those humans?"
"Human?" Bernice pulled the corners of her lips, "Do you really think that you can charge a lot of money by holding a few ships with those mutants?"
The magic mirror was stunned for half a second, and the picture in the mirror quickly changed from Thiago to the scene where the remaining mutants were constantly fleeing towards the deep sea.Compared with the number sent out at the beginning, less than one-tenth of them came back.
On the surface of the sea, besides the three yachts full of humans, there are also three teams of angels gathered.Even one of them was a demigod-level Seraph Archangel with six wings, with snow-white wings and piercing golden pupils.
Seeing this, the expression on the magic mirror's face suddenly became very ugly: "I never thought that there would be a day when angels and demons would have a unified position. I'm curious about the reason why you can tolerate each other."
"It's not easy to know, you can also go to the Falling Sin Garden and experience it for yourself for decades."
After Bernice finished speaking, her fingers moved the dense light filaments to quickly shrink, further compressing the space where the magic mirror could move and resist. The magic power drove the water to continuously boil, forming an invisible cage and sealing it off towards her.
There was a clear cracking sound coming from the door, and Bernice turned her head, and soon realized that it was the nightmares with transparent bodies trying to rush into the room.The filaments of light grew wildly like seaweed, and soon surrounded the entire room, solidifying into a shiny cage.
Dealing with nightmares is a waste of time, as long as the magic mirrors are dealt with, they will automatically shatter because they lose their source of magic support.
After making up her mind, Bernice focused all her attention on the magic mirror.She is a demon of the sea clan, and she can be said to have an absolute advantage in the battle in the sea.
The violent impact of magic power made the entire ghost ship tremble, as if it would burst open at any time.Through the cracks in the hull, Bernice saw many mutants and monsters that she had seen in the trench before were waiting outside, ready to pounce and launch an attack at any time.
Although the opponent has an absolute advantage in numbers, Bernice has long been used to picking up many demons every time she fights in the Fallen Sin Garden.After she glanced over the ship, she quickly turned the bone blade and flipped it flexibly, cutting open the magic mirror's sleeve robe, piercing the opponent's skin with the tip of the knife and slamming down hard to remove her attack.
Bernice clasped her hands and cut behind her neatly. At the same time, she raised her foot and kicked the magic mirror's leg to force her to kneel down with her back facing her.
The emerald green light jumped on the bone blade, and was held tightly by Bernice, ready to cut off the opponent's head across her neck.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to move, the magic mirror suddenly turned back to look at her. The fair skin that belonged to humans was constantly being dyed the light blue of monsters, the black hair faded to gray, and the complicated court skirt below the waist was also covered by many octopuses. Usually replaced by arms and legs with blue rings, and some even wrapped around Bernice's wrists.
The cold, sticky, rotten limb-like touch made Bernice's scalp numb, and she subconsciously cut off those arms and legs quickly with a knife, and distanced herself from the other party.
She stared blankly at the magic mirror that had completely changed its appearance in front of her, but her light green pupils looked cold and amazing because of the accumulated anger and irritability, like a pair of sharp-edged emeralds: "It's so ugly, I'm still relatively ugly." I like your previous look."
"But your current appearance surprises me." Ursula narrowed her eyes, her smile was bright and mean, and the overly obvious darkness and arrogance filled every crevice of her expression, "I thought you had already Eaten into a puddle of mud by the magic of the sea witch, just like me."
After finishing speaking, Ursula's face began to become swollen, but her eyeballs kept protruding outwards, and the blue blood vessels were dormant and throbbing ferociously under the skin.Her body began to become more distorted and gigantic, with rough and sharp bones gradually pulled out, and the original flesh began to dissolve continuously, and finally only a layer of carrion tissue like a fishing net barely covered the entire set of weird bones superior.
At the same time, the entire hull was slowly collapsing, and the surrounding nightmare group all turned into the same appearance as a magic mirror, which was so terrifying that it was disgusting.
These are just hallucinations, just hallucinations.
Bernice kept repeating this sentence in her mind, and at the same time forced herself to look directly at the monster.
"Would you like to look in the mirror, honey. We are you, take a good look at what you will look like in the future." As it spoke, it roared and swooped at Bernice,
Perhaps it was because the throat had been corroded and alienated to such an extent that the monster's voice sounded creepy and hoarse or even broken. Every syllable seemed to be made up of screams, heart-piercing and cold.
Bernice teleported to the top to avoid its attack, and saw that under the impact of the huge body of the monster, the entire cabin had been completely destroyed, leaving only the cage made of light threads still solid.
The monsters surrounding the cage quickly gathered around after the hull collapsed, and kept screaming the same words at Bernice: "Magic power...rotten body, monster! Monster! Monster with only flesh and blood left!"
"It's so annoying! Get the hell out of here—!" Bernice was so annoyed by the noise, the dark green flame that shot up from her palm suddenly exploded, turning into a sharp circle of light that swept and spread layer by layer. Break all the monsters and mutants closest to her in the middle.
As the fluctuation of the magic power continued to increase, Bernice could clearly feel the pain from the magic restraint on her arm, but the pain was still within her tolerance range.
The magic mirror keenly caught her strangeness, and let out a piercing sneer: "It turns out that you are controlled by them with magic, no wonder you have to obediently listen to the Protoss, it's really pitiful."
Bernice dodged those arms and legs full of mouthparts and fangs, and choked tit-for-tat: "It's better than being trapped on the bottom of the sea, you don't even have a face, and you just steal other people's looks and become more and more disgusting." The ugly and weird four look like a strong!"
With a roar, the monster quickly caught up with Bernice, tied her ankles and dragged it towards its own mouth. Its protruding eyeballs stared at her viciously, with thick blood entrenched in the center of the pupils: "As a sea witch, you have to Forced to succumb to the mermaids and angels, obey their orders and work for them, without even basic freedom, and fear of being alienated by magic backlash every day. Don’t you think you’re living too sadly?”
Bernice cut open the meat tongue that was about to wrap around her neck with a backhand knife, her face full of disgust: "You yourself are trapped in a cage by me and you can't get out, how dare you talk about freedom with me? Wait until you grow a decent face." Come worry about whether I am sad or not in the future, or I will have no brains if I steal other people's butts and put them on my shoulders every day!"
It probably hit the sore spot with her last words. As soon as Bernice finished speaking, it immediately rushed towards her crazily.The frenzied purple light and the green magic flame fought desperately, continuously radiating outwards, driving all the surrounding mutants into the shadows and hiding in the crevices of the reef.
Feeling that the prohibition imprinted on her skin was getting hotter and hotter, Bernice still didn't stop, but continued to grit her teeth and persist.Because she knew very well that there was still a period of time between when the burning sensation began to appear and when she was actually forbidden to be scalded.
As long as she can bear the pain, she can exert the maximum level of magic power allowed by the restriction.
The sea water was drawn by two conflicting magic forces and gradually converged into a vortex, stirring up countless shipwreck fragments and mud, dust and sandstones on the bottom of the sea into a ball.Under the urging of Bernice, the green flame continued to devour and move forward, suppressing the purple light into a few dying lines.
A large piece of dazzling light swayed like a brilliant galaxy melting in the deep sea. Spikes began to grow from the emerald green light coiled into a cage, nailing the monster transformed by the magic mirror to the bottom of the sea. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape. He could only glared at the black-haired sea witch in front of him: "I want to kill you——! You traitor to the demon clan! Kill you traitor!"
Bernice tried her best to restrain the trembling caused by the forbidden burns, pushed back the black hair that was swept up in front of her eyes by the water with one hand, and shrugged indifferently when she heard the other party's abuse: "I want to kill you!" I have too many creatures, so you have to line up slowly. Or you can ask the mermaid clan if they would like you to join the queue."
As she spoke, she changed the bone blade to her left hand and clenched it tightly, stood in front of the monster, and pierced into its chest without hesitation: "However, when I was doing evil at the bottom of the sea, you still don't know where to peek at the little girl." Let's change clothes."
The severe pain forced it to start struggling, roaring, and its body was constantly changing and twisting, as if something sealed inside was about to tear through that layer of skin and burst out, and finally turned into glass-like residue fragments .
Bernice retracted the bone blade, and looked down to see that the place on her arm where the restriction was branded was obviously red, and even faintly began to blister.
She sighed, turned around and prepared to go back to the ghost ship that had collapsed into disrepute, and prayed that Tiago would not come out of the magic mirror so soon, so that she could have a chance to help and save it image.
However, before she got close to the hull, the shards of glass that had been scattered all over the place suddenly surrounded her.The subtle fluctuations in the water flow made Bernice keenly aware of the abnormality coming from behind, and she quickly turned over to avoid it, and raised the bone blade with her left hand to smash the fragments that were approaching her eyes one by one.
In the confusion, the light thread that she wore on a string with ice blue fish scales around her neck was accidentally cut by the sharp edge of the fragment.The moment the fish scales fell into the water, a clear sense of discomfort immediately invaded her throat and lungs along the water flow.
No wonder those sea races from the original world were never willing to leave the ecological zone, let alone step out of the protective cover built by Thiago.Although this feeling can't be said to be very uncomfortable, it is indeed very uncomfortable, and even after a long time, it will make her a little dizzy and have difficulty breathing.
Shaking her head to drive away the afterimage in front of her eyes, Bernice continued to focus on the dense glass shards suspended in the water without further movement for the time being, and the dark green flame jumped in her hand, eager to try.
The moment before they were about to fall down again, a silver-blue radiance shot across the water like a meteor, freezing all the fragments into ice, and sealing them within the ever-spreading pale ice layer.
This change happened so quickly that Bernice didn't even have time to react within a few seconds, only to see that piece of pure white stretching infinitely in her sight, and gradually drooping down due to the special freezing point effect of sea water , like a flower blooming upside down.
She turned her head and saw that Tiago had come out of the mirror at some point, her raised arm was slowly drooping, and her fingers were closed to extinguish the bright halo in her palm.
According to common sense, she should first ask the other party if there is anything to express her concern at this time.But just as Bernice was about to speak, she stopped, because he had seen all the memory pictures he saw in the magic mirror.
This kind of dark history of "you didn't know the evil in the fish's heart, so you were cheated and stabbed" is worth remembering once you have experienced it once. Now you are not only forced to relive it, but even have to pretend that you don't care. How could it be okay.
Thinking of this, Bernice turned sideways subconsciously to avoid her turning her back to Tiago, and at the same time allow him to be completely within her sight.
Compared with her nervousness and vigilance, Thiago's state is obviously much calmer.
The expression on his face looked the same as before he entered the magic mirror, as if he just swam around the bottom of the sea twice casually, even the tone of his speech remained the same, as usual gentle and low-key: "Sorry, It's too late. Are you hurt somewhere?"
Bernice looked at him in bewilderment and astonishment. She didn't understand why he should apologize. It didn't matter if he came early or late. Wouldn't it be better if the matter was resolved?And no matter from which angle you look at it, she should be the one who should say this.
She shook her head, just about to answer that it was okay, but she was coughed by the constant strange feeling in her throat, and the heavy oppression squeezed her chest, making her feel a little out of breath.
Thiago looked at her neck and realized immediately after finding that the fish scales were gone.The faint silver-blue divine power oozes from the fingertips and sticks to Bernice's throat, dissolving a cool and warm feeling.
The sudden touch made Bernice subconsciously want to break free, but Tiago stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, and heard him say, "It's just some healing techniques for relief, it won't hurt you."
As he spoke, he looked down and saw the obvious burn on Bernice's arm, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Is there any other place?"
Bernice shook her head: "No, thank you."
Thiago responded with a slight smile and didn't say anything more.
The brief silence was broken by the rumble of the ghost ship completely collapsing. Bernice looked at the ship's hull that gradually collapsed into a piece of wreckage in front of her, and asked with some uncertainty: "Is this the end?"
"Yes. Once the mirror spirit disappears, the magic mirror will lose its self-awareness, and the magic power supporting the ghost ship will also dissipate, and those spiritual impressions imprisoned by it in the ship will also be released."
"Like that human girl Abby?"
"Yes."
As soon as Thiago finished speaking, Bernice saw many silver-white luminous bodies emerging from the gaps in the wreckage of the ship.They are like countless stars growing out of the deep sea, and the faint and hazy brilliance gathers into a dreamlike star sea wave around them.
For a moment, Bernice almost thought that they were not at the bottom of the sea, but at the source of the birth of endless stars in the universe.
She caught one of them, and through the misty light, she could clearly feel that it seemed to be trying very hard to convey something to her, but it could only make a slight noise.
"Let's go."
"what?"
"These spiritual impressions must leave the seabed to go where they should go."
As he spoke, Thiago stretched out his hand and drew a bright arc of light in the water to spread out, pulling all the luminous bodies over, and turned to Bernice and said, "Follow me closely."
Bernice nodded, followed Tiago and quickly floated up towards the sea surface, surrounded by countless luminous bodies of spiritual consciousness that followed, dragging their long tails through the water.
There are clusters of bright silver clusters, like a meteor shower rising from the sea, so grand and colorful that it seems to be walking through a dream.
The moment the water broke through, those spiritual consciousnesses also continued to rise out of the ocean, flew into the air and scattered in all directions, illuminating the originally dark and silent night sky into an overwhelming beauty.
"It's so beautiful." Bernice looked up at her head in a daze.
"These are memories trapped in a magic mirror, and each one is a thought for the family and loved ones of those who died."
"Think about it...then, where will these memories go?"
"Go to the dreams of those they loved until death, and say goodbye to them," Thiago replied, in a voice as soft as bright ripples on the surface of the sea, which would shatter at the touch.
"Deep love?" Bernice chewed the word strangely, always feeling that such things were cheap.
She had seen too many so-called eternal loves around Ursula.No matter how beautiful the words were at the beginning, the final ending is without exception disillusionment and betrayal.
In her eyes, true love is equal to a free door-to-door deal, just ask the price, the higher the better, and you will never lose money.
"Sounds so good." She praised against her will.
Thiago was keenly aware of her lies, but he didn't make a sound. He just watched her silently. All the light accumulated in his eyes was infused with a complex and profound emotion that was extremely gentle. Hidden in the bottom of the eyes, only the tiny fish scales on the fringes of the eyebrows and the ends of the eyes are still shining, which look like frozen tears.After a while, he looked away again: "No, you haven't heard it yet."
"what?"
As a large piece of hazy blue light radiated from his hands, Bernice finally heard the countless voices contained in the spiritual consciousness.
There is a childish childish voice talking to her: "I like baking cookies, orange juice, hawthorn candy, football, and the game console that I bought with pocket money that I saved for a year. But if you want , I’ll give it all to you, because you are actually my favorite.”
There is a youthful confession that belongs to a teenager: "I'm sorry that I have performed so badly in the past half a year, but... I can't help it. I just don't have the strength to do better, because all my efforts have been used. Like you and not letting you find out about these two things. But now, I can't even do the latter."
There is also comfort from parents to their children: "No matter at any time, you are the best gift God has given us. You just need to remember this, and then be brave enough to do whatever you want..."
Countless words uttered in various human languages whispered together in Bernice's ears, repeating the same content to her over and over again.
I love you, I love you, I love you...
Bernice stared blankly at the spiritual senses that were shining all over the sky. She was too shocked to speak for a while, and could only stare blankly at them, surrounded by all kinds of warm or deep confessions in the sea water. middle.
The light cluster rose, spread, and gradually disappeared.
When all the voices were far away from her, Bernice's hearing accidentally caught a sentence completely different from any human language just now.
It is very short, but the tone fluctuates very softly, with an indescribable clear rhythm.
She turned her head in confusion and looked at Tiago aside: "Did you just speak?"
"No," he said.
"Ah, maybe I got it wrong."
"What did you hear?"
Bernice recalled, and repeated uncertainly: "It seems to be...mo, higa?"
mohiga,
Ancient mermaid language.
I love you.
The author has something to say: the second
Seeing that many mutants were constantly diving and fleeing to the depths of the ocean, Blake swung his sword angrily and slashed the light blade towards the rough water surface.Immediately after the golden holy light entered the water, a large wave of crimson blood was splashed, and the turbid water droplets leaping high were stained with the snow-white feathers of the angel's wings, but they were not stained at all.
For a moment, only a large number of killed mutant corpses were left floating on the turbulent sea, dyeing the seawater into an almost ominous deep crimson.
Blake withdrew his sword and turned to look at Gabriel not far away: "Sir,? They all escaped."
Compared to his annoyance, Gabriel is obviously much calmer, his face is still calm and indifferent, and the boiling blood waves on the sea are clearly reflected in his golden eyes: "They are hurt, they will come back Go to the bottom of the sea where the ghost ship is really, and His Majesty will clean them up there."
"However, that number 0331 is also in the ghost ship." Blake paused for a moment when he said this, seemed to be choosing his words carefully, and then continued, "Won't she get in the way of Your Majesty?"
Gabriel was silent for half a second, and quickly replied: "I believe Your Majesty,? Since he will act with 0331, he must have his own thorough consideration. It is enough for us to handle the follow-up confidentiality work. "
"Yes."
……
Looking at the rich and bright red in the mirror, Bernice felt her scalp numb to the point of suffocation, but also sincerely felt that what the Cheshire Cat and Jack of Hearts said was right.
It was an absolute miracle that she was alive beside Thiago and kept her body intact.
And judging from the picture presented in the magic mirror, although the split memory does have some missing parts,? So there will be many incoherent or even blank phenomena.But this is too different from what Bernice guessed at the beginning.
She always felt that the reason Thiago had no hostility towards her was because he basically didn't remember being tricked and stabbed by her back then.But now it seems that he basically remembers everything.
This is very scary.

And in all fairness, although this kind of behavior of tricking the ignorant milk fish into killing him is indeed a bit vicious, it is not entirely Bernice's own will. At least she really didn't think about killing Tiago.
It's only because she couldn't control the frantic magic power that she had inherited passively at that time, and was even manipulated by it to arouse all the negative darkness in her heart. The things she said.

This crazy and terrifying idea occupied all of Bernice's sanity.
She didn't remember seeing Thiago at all, let alone ever touched him.
Even when she was arrested and sent to the Falling Crime Garden, she confessed without any resistance to all the crimes that she had no memory of, but it was only for the Judgment Bureau to immediately sentence her to death, so that she could be freed earlier.
So, was he so fierce back then?
The stabbing of Sea God was not only successful, but also more than one stab. This was simply the highlight moment in her entire life, so brilliant that she wanted to cry, and wanted to go in and beat herself up.
"It's really interesting." The magic mirror looked at the mermaid boy in the mirror who was surrounded by blood, but remained calm, with long golden eyelashes hanging slightly and said nothing. He rolled his eyes and stared at Bernice beside him inexplicably. "I thought no matter what, at this point, he should hate you somewhat."
Bernice was stunned, and then she heard the magic mirror continue to say in a vaguely confused tone: "But I don't feel this kind of emotion at all. He doesn't hate you, he's just sad."

Thinking of this, Bernice couldn't help but worry about her situation again.After all, it is one thing for the magic mirror not to feel negative emotions, but it is another thing exactly what Thiago is thinking.
She didn't think Thiago really didn't care.
This is easy to understand, if it were her own, forgiveness would be impossible, she would just kick the other party to hell to repent.
Thinking about it this way, Bernice found desperately that it was impossible to fool Tiago to undo the curse for herself. It would be safer and more practical to think of a way to squat back to the Sin Garden for retirement.
As soon as she had this thought, Chao Ling's voice suddenly came from her ear again, weak and almost innocent: "The cleaning is over, and the fleeing mutants are coming here."
That means you can start beating directly, right?
Bernice turned her head to look at the magic mirror on the side, and continued her "just sad" sentence with a dark expression: "Then I think you will soon be more sad than him."
As soon as the words fell, countless green threads of light immediately grew out from all directions, and surrounded the magic mirror in an instant.The bone blade spun in a circle in the palm of Bernice's hand.
After the magic mirror noticed her actions, he quickly dodged away.However, Bernice's movements were obviously much faster than hers, the thin and sharp blade cut through the water easily, and cut a conspicuous white scar on her neck.
After a short period of shock, the magic mirror stared at her with a sneer, his face showed a strange stiffness because of the incoordination of his expression: "It seems that you don't plan to care about the lives of those humans?"
"Human?" Bernice pulled the corners of her lips, "Do you really think that you can charge a lot of money by holding a few ships with those mutants?"
The magic mirror was stunned for half a second, and the picture in the mirror quickly changed from Thiago to the scene where the remaining mutants were constantly fleeing towards the deep sea.Compared with the number sent out at the beginning, less than one-tenth of them came back.
On the surface of the sea, besides the three yachts full of humans, there are also three teams of angels gathered.Even one of them was a demigod-level Seraph Archangel with six wings, with snow-white wings and piercing golden pupils.
Seeing this, the expression on the magic mirror's face suddenly became very ugly: "I never thought that there would be a day when angels and demons would have a unified position. I'm curious about the reason why you can tolerate each other."
"It's not easy to know, you can also go to the Falling Sin Garden and experience it for yourself for decades."
After Bernice finished speaking, her fingers moved the dense light filaments to quickly shrink, further compressing the space where the magic mirror could move and resist. The magic power drove the water to continuously boil, forming an invisible cage and sealing it off towards her.
There was a clear cracking sound coming from the door, and Bernice turned her head, and soon realized that it was the nightmares with transparent bodies trying to rush into the room.The filaments of light grew wildly like seaweed, and soon surrounded the entire room, solidifying into a shiny cage.
Dealing with nightmares is a waste of time, as long as the magic mirrors are dealt with, they will automatically shatter because they lose their source of magic support.
After making up her mind, Bernice focused all her attention on the magic mirror.She is a demon of the sea clan, and she can be said to have an absolute advantage in the battle in the sea.
The violent impact of magic power made the entire ghost ship tremble, as if it would burst open at any time.Through the cracks in the hull, Bernice saw many mutants and monsters that she had seen in the trench before were waiting outside, ready to pounce and launch an attack at any time.
Although the opponent has an absolute advantage in numbers, Bernice has long been used to picking up many demons every time she fights in the Fallen Sin Garden.After she glanced over the ship, she quickly turned the bone blade and flipped it flexibly, cutting open the magic mirror's sleeve robe, piercing the opponent's skin with the tip of the knife and slamming down hard to remove her attack.
Bernice clasped her hands and cut behind her neatly. At the same time, she raised her foot and kicked the magic mirror's leg to force her to kneel down with her back facing her.
The emerald green light jumped on the bone blade, and was held tightly by Bernice, ready to cut off the opponent's head across her neck.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to move, the magic mirror suddenly turned back to look at her. The fair skin that belonged to humans was constantly being dyed the light blue of monsters, the black hair faded to gray, and the complicated court skirt below the waist was also covered by many octopuses. Usually replaced by arms and legs with blue rings, and some even wrapped around Bernice's wrists.
The cold, sticky, rotten limb-like touch made Bernice's scalp numb, and she subconsciously cut off those arms and legs quickly with a knife, and distanced herself from the other party.
She stared blankly at the magic mirror that had completely changed its appearance in front of her, but her light green pupils looked cold and amazing because of the accumulated anger and irritability, like a pair of sharp-edged emeralds: "It's so ugly, I'm still relatively ugly." I like your previous look."
"But your current appearance surprises me." Ursula narrowed her eyes, her smile was bright and mean, and the overly obvious darkness and arrogance filled every crevice of her expression, "I thought you had already Eaten into a puddle of mud by the magic of the sea witch, just like me."
After finishing speaking, Ursula's face began to become swollen, but her eyeballs kept protruding outwards, and the blue blood vessels were dormant and throbbing ferociously under the skin.Her body began to become more distorted and gigantic, with rough and sharp bones gradually pulled out, and the original flesh began to dissolve continuously, and finally only a layer of carrion tissue like a fishing net barely covered the entire set of weird bones superior.
At the same time, the entire hull was slowly collapsing, and the surrounding nightmare group all turned into the same appearance as a magic mirror, which was so terrifying that it was disgusting.
These are just hallucinations, just hallucinations.
Bernice kept repeating this sentence in her mind, and at the same time forced herself to look directly at the monster.
"Would you like to look in the mirror, honey. We are you, take a good look at what you will look like in the future." As it spoke, it roared and swooped at Bernice,
Perhaps it was because the throat had been corroded and alienated to such an extent that the monster's voice sounded creepy and hoarse or even broken. Every syllable seemed to be made up of screams, heart-piercing and cold.
Bernice teleported to the top to avoid its attack, and saw that under the impact of the huge body of the monster, the entire cabin had been completely destroyed, leaving only the cage made of light threads still solid.
The monsters surrounding the cage quickly gathered around after the hull collapsed, and kept screaming the same words at Bernice: "Magic power...rotten body, monster! Monster! Monster with only flesh and blood left!"
"It's so annoying! Get the hell out of here—!" Bernice was so annoyed by the noise, the dark green flame that shot up from her palm suddenly exploded, turning into a sharp circle of light that swept and spread layer by layer. Break all the monsters and mutants closest to her in the middle.
As the fluctuation of the magic power continued to increase, Bernice could clearly feel the pain from the magic restraint on her arm, but the pain was still within her tolerance range.
The magic mirror keenly caught her strangeness, and let out a piercing sneer: "It turns out that you are controlled by them with magic, no wonder you have to obediently listen to the Protoss, it's really pitiful."
Bernice dodged those arms and legs full of mouthparts and fangs, and choked tit-for-tat: "It's better than being trapped on the bottom of the sea, you don't even have a face, and you just steal other people's looks and become more and more disgusting." The ugly and weird four look like a strong!"
With a roar, the monster quickly caught up with Bernice, tied her ankles and dragged it towards its own mouth. Its protruding eyeballs stared at her viciously, with thick blood entrenched in the center of the pupils: "As a sea witch, you have to Forced to succumb to the mermaids and angels, obey their orders and work for them, without even basic freedom, and fear of being alienated by magic backlash every day. Don’t you think you’re living too sadly?”
Bernice cut open the meat tongue that was about to wrap around her neck with a backhand knife, her face full of disgust: "You yourself are trapped in a cage by me and you can't get out, how dare you talk about freedom with me? Wait until you grow a decent face." Come worry about whether I am sad or not in the future, or I will have no brains if I steal other people's butts and put them on my shoulders every day!"
It probably hit the sore spot with her last words. As soon as Bernice finished speaking, it immediately rushed towards her crazily.The frenzied purple light and the green magic flame fought desperately, continuously radiating outwards, driving all the surrounding mutants into the shadows and hiding in the crevices of the reef.
Feeling that the prohibition imprinted on her skin was getting hotter and hotter, Bernice still didn't stop, but continued to grit her teeth and persist.Because she knew very well that there was still a period of time between when the burning sensation began to appear and when she was actually forbidden to be scalded.
As long as she can bear the pain, she can exert the maximum level of magic power allowed by the restriction.
The sea water was drawn by two conflicting magic forces and gradually converged into a vortex, stirring up countless shipwreck fragments and mud, dust and sandstones on the bottom of the sea into a ball.Under the urging of Bernice, the green flame continued to devour and move forward, suppressing the purple light into a few dying lines.
A large piece of dazzling light swayed like a brilliant galaxy melting in the deep sea. Spikes began to grow from the emerald green light coiled into a cage, nailing the monster transformed by the magic mirror to the bottom of the sea. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape. He could only glared at the black-haired sea witch in front of him: "I want to kill you——! You traitor to the demon clan! Kill you traitor!"
Bernice tried her best to restrain the trembling caused by the forbidden burns, pushed back the black hair that was swept up in front of her eyes by the water with one hand, and shrugged indifferently when she heard the other party's abuse: "I want to kill you!" I have too many creatures, so you have to line up slowly. Or you can ask the mermaid clan if they would like you to join the queue."
As she spoke, she changed the bone blade to her left hand and clenched it tightly, stood in front of the monster, and pierced into its chest without hesitation: "However, when I was doing evil at the bottom of the sea, you still don't know where to peek at the little girl." Let's change clothes."
The severe pain forced it to start struggling, roaring, and its body was constantly changing and twisting, as if something sealed inside was about to tear through that layer of skin and burst out, and finally turned into glass-like residue fragments .
Bernice retracted the bone blade, and looked down to see that the place on her arm where the restriction was branded was obviously red, and even faintly began to blister.
She sighed, turned around and prepared to go back to the ghost ship that had collapsed into disrepute, and prayed that Tiago would not come out of the magic mirror so soon, so that she could have a chance to help and save it image.
However, before she got close to the hull, the shards of glass that had been scattered all over the place suddenly surrounded her.The subtle fluctuations in the water flow made Bernice keenly aware of the abnormality coming from behind, and she quickly turned over to avoid it, and raised the bone blade with her left hand to smash the fragments that were approaching her eyes one by one.
In the confusion, the light thread that she wore on a string with ice blue fish scales around her neck was accidentally cut by the sharp edge of the fragment.The moment the fish scales fell into the water, a clear sense of discomfort immediately invaded her throat and lungs along the water flow.
No wonder those sea races from the original world were never willing to leave the ecological zone, let alone step out of the protective cover built by Thiago.Although this feeling can't be said to be very uncomfortable, it is indeed very uncomfortable, and even after a long time, it will make her a little dizzy and have difficulty breathing.
Shaking her head to drive away the afterimage in front of her eyes, Bernice continued to focus on the dense glass shards suspended in the water without further movement for the time being, and the dark green flame jumped in her hand, eager to try.
The moment before they were about to fall down again, a silver-blue radiance shot across the water like a meteor, freezing all the fragments into ice, and sealing them within the ever-spreading pale ice layer.
This change happened so quickly that Bernice didn't even have time to react within a few seconds, only to see that piece of pure white stretching infinitely in her sight, and gradually drooping down due to the special freezing point effect of sea water , like a flower blooming upside down.
She turned her head and saw that Tiago had come out of the mirror at some point, her raised arm was slowly drooping, and her fingers were closed to extinguish the bright halo in her palm.
According to common sense, she should first ask the other party if there is anything to express her concern at this time.But just as Bernice was about to speak, she stopped, because he had seen all the memory pictures he saw in the magic mirror.
This kind of dark history of "you didn't know the evil in the fish's heart, so you were cheated and stabbed" is worth remembering once you have experienced it once. Now you are not only forced to relive it, but even have to pretend that you don't care. How could it be okay.
Thinking of this, Bernice turned sideways subconsciously to avoid her turning her back to Tiago, and at the same time allow him to be completely within her sight.
Compared with her nervousness and vigilance, Thiago's state is obviously much calmer.
The expression on his face looked the same as before he entered the magic mirror, as if he just swam around the bottom of the sea twice casually, even the tone of his speech remained the same, as usual gentle and low-key: "Sorry, It's too late. Are you hurt somewhere?"
Bernice looked at him in bewilderment and astonishment. She didn't understand why he should apologize. It didn't matter if he came early or late. Wouldn't it be better if the matter was resolved?And no matter from which angle you look at it, she should be the one who should say this.
She shook her head, just about to answer that it was okay, but she was coughed by the constant strange feeling in her throat, and the heavy oppression squeezed her chest, making her feel a little out of breath.
Thiago looked at her neck and realized immediately after finding that the fish scales were gone.The faint silver-blue divine power oozes from the fingertips and sticks to Bernice's throat, dissolving a cool and warm feeling.
The sudden touch made Bernice subconsciously want to break free, but Tiago stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, and heard him say, "It's just some healing techniques for relief, it won't hurt you."
As he spoke, he looked down and saw the obvious burn on Bernice's arm, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Is there any other place?"
Bernice shook her head: "No, thank you."
Thiago responded with a slight smile and didn't say anything more.
The brief silence was broken by the rumble of the ghost ship completely collapsing. Bernice looked at the ship's hull that gradually collapsed into a piece of wreckage in front of her, and asked with some uncertainty: "Is this the end?"
"Yes. Once the mirror spirit disappears, the magic mirror will lose its self-awareness, and the magic power supporting the ghost ship will also dissipate, and those spiritual impressions imprisoned by it in the ship will also be released."
"Like that human girl Abby?"
"Yes."
As soon as Thiago finished speaking, Bernice saw many silver-white luminous bodies emerging from the gaps in the wreckage of the ship.They are like countless stars growing out of the deep sea, and the faint and hazy brilliance gathers into a dreamlike star sea wave around them.
For a moment, Bernice almost thought that they were not at the bottom of the sea, but at the source of the birth of endless stars in the universe.
She caught one of them, and through the misty light, she could clearly feel that it seemed to be trying very hard to convey something to her, but it could only make a slight noise.
"Let's go."
"what?"
"These spiritual impressions must leave the seabed to go where they should go."
As he spoke, Thiago stretched out his hand and drew a bright arc of light in the water to spread out, pulling all the luminous bodies over, and turned to Bernice and said, "Follow me closely."
Bernice nodded, followed Tiago and quickly floated up towards the sea surface, surrounded by countless luminous bodies of spiritual consciousness that followed, dragging their long tails through the water.
There are clusters of bright silver clusters, like a meteor shower rising from the sea, so grand and colorful that it seems to be walking through a dream.
The moment the water broke through, those spiritual consciousnesses also continued to rise out of the ocean, flew into the air and scattered in all directions, illuminating the originally dark and silent night sky into an overwhelming beauty.
"It's so beautiful." Bernice looked up at her head in a daze.
"These are memories trapped in a magic mirror, and each one is a thought for the family and loved ones of those who died."
"Think about it...then, where will these memories go?"
"Go to the dreams of those they loved until death, and say goodbye to them," Thiago replied, in a voice as soft as bright ripples on the surface of the sea, which would shatter at the touch.
"Deep love?" Bernice chewed the word strangely, always feeling that such things were cheap.
She had seen too many so-called eternal loves around Ursula.No matter how beautiful the words were at the beginning, the final ending is without exception disillusionment and betrayal.
In her eyes, true love is equal to a free door-to-door deal, just ask the price, the higher the better, and you will never lose money.
"Sounds so good." She praised against her will.
Thiago was keenly aware of her lies, but he didn't make a sound. He just watched her silently. All the light accumulated in his eyes was infused with a complex and profound emotion that was extremely gentle. Hidden in the bottom of the eyes, only the tiny fish scales on the fringes of the eyebrows and the ends of the eyes are still shining, which look like frozen tears.After a while, he looked away again: "No, you haven't heard it yet."
"what?"
As a large piece of hazy blue light radiated from his hands, Bernice finally heard the countless voices contained in the spiritual consciousness.
There is a childish childish voice talking to her: "I like baking cookies, orange juice, hawthorn candy, football, and the game console that I bought with pocket money that I saved for a year. But if you want , I’ll give it all to you, because you are actually my favorite.”
There is a youthful confession that belongs to a teenager: "I'm sorry that I have performed so badly in the past half a year, but... I can't help it. I just don't have the strength to do better, because all my efforts have been used. Like you and not letting you find out about these two things. But now, I can't even do the latter."
There is also comfort from parents to their children: "No matter at any time, you are the best gift God has given us. You just need to remember this, and then be brave enough to do whatever you want..."
Countless words uttered in various human languages whispered together in Bernice's ears, repeating the same content to her over and over again.
I love you, I love you, I love you...
Bernice stared blankly at the spiritual senses that were shining all over the sky. She was too shocked to speak for a while, and could only stare blankly at them, surrounded by all kinds of warm or deep confessions in the sea water. middle.
The light cluster rose, spread, and gradually disappeared.
When all the voices were far away from her, Bernice's hearing accidentally caught a sentence completely different from any human language just now.
It is very short, but the tone fluctuates very softly, with an indescribable clear rhythm.
She turned her head in confusion and looked at Tiago aside: "Did you just speak?"
"No," he said.
"Ah, maybe I got it wrong."
"What did you hear?"
Bernice recalled, and repeated uncertainly: "It seems to be...mo, higa?"
mohiga,
Ancient mermaid language.
I love you.
