How to become a sea witch

Walking with an angel who doesn't like to talk,? The biggest advantage is that you don't have to work hard to find topics to break the embarrassment.

Following Gabriel all the way into the shelter silently, Bernice trembled almost immediately.

It's really too cold here.

The dense cold air tightly surrounded them from all directions, and there were many small and delicate ice flowers suspended in the air, each of which was a flawless pointed six-petal shape.Pale ice mist spread along the vents to every inch of the entire shelter, and frozen and condensed translucent frost was everywhere.

Bernice rubbed her fingers in fear of the cold, and the hot air she exhaled condensed into a light white smoke that lingered and spread slowly in front of her eyes.Through that layer of fog, she saw that besides the destroyed containment vessels, there were many dead mutants around.

Their whole bodies are covered by thick ice shells, like strange biological specimens sealed in transparent resin.Excessive blood color accumulated under the cold ice, extending like a river in all directions, dipping the ice into a shocking dark red, thick enough to make one's heart palpitate.

"How did these mutants come out?" Bernice looked around in disbelief.

"The sample in your hand was originally contained in the second area. After it broke the container, it killed most of the other mutants in the second area, leaving only four." Gabriel replied concisely, without any emotion in his tone Undulating, "One of them is the red thorn demon that was controlled by the parasite just now."

"What about the other three?"

"One was cleaned up by me,? The other two were temporarily kept frozen by His Majesty."

"Is it because those two mutants are special?"

"Those two are not mutants,? They are demons from the original world. They have caused serious human casualties and exposure risks in Kamchatka, so they are contained here. The new samples need certain research and observation to grasp their characteristics,? And it is still uncertain what caused the sudden appearance of this sample, and they are kept for research."

Bernice nodded understandingly, and didn't ask any more questions.

She thought that the topic had reached this point. If she didn't continue talking, then it was basically over.Unexpectedly, after Gabriel glanced at her sideways, he asked without changing his expression, "Why are you still outside the building at this time?"

Is this treating her as a suspect?

Bernice pursed her lower lip, and replied nonchalantly: "I couldn't sleep, I wanted to go out for a stroll, but happened to see something happened at the monitoring center, so I came here."

While speaking, they had already arrived at the control room of the second district wing where Thiago was located.After pushing open the half-hidden door in front of him, a burst of biting cold air rushed to his face immediately.

Bernice tilted her head, looked past Gabriel's quietly drooping white wings, and saw many twisted and stiff creatures that were frozen on the ground like thin branches.Such a strange dark red color, so heavy that it almost penetrates the transparency of the ice, melting and dripping away.

"Your Majesty the Sea God." Gabriel knelt down and saluted. Bernice standing behind him lost her shield and was forced to meet the eyes of the blond boy in the control room.

Maybe it was completely unexpected that Bernice would appear here, Tiago looked a little surprised, a trace of hasty soft joy floated in his blue eyes, but he immediately turned to the light ball after seeing the light ball in her hand. It fell silent: "Has the sample leaked to the offshore area?"

Gabriel shook his head, and replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the samples were destroyed and recovered near the building. What 0331 holds is the last part parasitic on the red thorn demon."

After hearing this answer, Thiago's expression relaxed a little.

He raised his head to signal Gabriel to stand up, and wiped off the fine ice particles and blood stains that did not belong to him on the white cuffs, and looked at Bernice as usual: "Why are you still awake so late?"

Bernice handed him the ball of light containing the final sample, and repeated what she had just explained to Gabriel.

She noticed the two Pan-Yuan-level demons trapped in the ice cocoon. She didn't know whether it was caused by the parasitism of the sample or simply an illusion formed by the light and shadow on the ice surface.Their demeanors seemed to be in a state of pain that almost collapsed ferociously, as if they were being swallowed up by ice and snow bit by bit when they were being tormented by some extreme fear, so they were able to solidify this kind of terrifying freshness even though their limbs were already stiff. live emotions.

When Thiago took the ball of light, he followed her gaze and looked back, explaining calmly: "It's for observation and research."

After finishing speaking, he skipped this unimportant matter, and continued to jump back to the topic just now: "Why can't I fall asleep suddenly? Do you feel that you are not used to this place?"

"No, it's not that I'm not used to it. And I'm not that picky, I can sleep if I have a place."

"What's the matter?"

"Uh, it's okay, I'm just thinking..." Bernice found that maybe it was because the other party looked at her with clear and friendly eyes, it was a bit difficult for her to lie to him naturally, and she didn't expect that Tia Ge would be so obsessed with this question, he suddenly felt an instinctive vigilance.

Why is he so concerned about whether he can sleep or not?Could it be that falling asleep would do him any good?For example, to make it easier for him to destroy his body and traces to avenge his revenge?

Thinking of this, Bernice trembled almost immediately, subconsciously took half a step back.

Thiago noticed her movement, eye feathers drooped, and the shadow of the haze suddenly covered his eyes, and the smile on his lips faded to a thin one: "What are you thinking?"

Of course, I was thinking about how to avoid being killed by you, and how to trick you into killing me.

While cursing, Bernice curled up her fingers that were somewhat frozen in the low temperature, skillfully put on a natural and generous appearance, and replied briskly: "I was thinking, I really shouldn't eat so much supper, and now I'm sleeping I can't sleep anymore, so I just want to walk around to digest it. Speaking of which, is there anything else I can help here?"

If not, let her go quickly.

"No more." Thiago replied.

Bernice held her breath, made a victory gesture in her heart, and heard him continue to say with a steady expression: "Then go back and rest first, and you have worked hard to solve the ghost ship this time."

"Me?" Bernice was a little taken aback by what he said, a cautious and bewildered look filled her light green eyes, and her vision was vacant, "but I didn't do anything. You basically solved everything, even It was you who entered the magic mirror to buy time for those humans to be rescued..."

Gabriel stood aside silently after listening to her words, and for some reason remembered what a senior angel once warned him:

"Never try to guess the mind of the Supreme God. Girls are the same, even if they are of different races."

He looked at the supreme god and the devil girl who were in the room at the same time, and suddenly felt that what the senior said was really good words, he really couldn't understand.After all, if it was him, it must be Bernice who was thrown into the magic mirror to stall for time.

This is the best and most reasonable choice, but Thiago didn't do it, which made Gabriel feel a little incomprehensible.

After talking about the magic mirror, Bernice suddenly fell silent.She pursed her lips, took a quick look at Thiago, and after making sure that the other party did not show any bad mood changes, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand and scratched the end of her eyebrows, and offered a guilty conscience: "In short, it is necessary to help. If there is anything I can use, I am more than happy to help."

Thiago looked into her eyes, knowing that she was just casually saying some beautiful words to perfuse himself, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he received it along the way: "If that's the case, then go somewhere with me."

The expression on Bernice's face froze instantly, her gaze was dull: "Ah, this..."

This is not the effect she wants.

After watching this, Gabriel understood that Thiago was just waiting for Bernice to say this to him.

"Don't worry, it's not far outside the city." With a slight smile, he took out a silver pocket watch with a thin chain from his pocket and looked at it, "Is it okay to come to you after I finish here? It won't be too long, and I will definitely catch up."

Then I wish you would be busy here for eternity and never remember me, Bernice thought desperately, when her eyes accidentally brushed against the pocket watch in his hand, she couldn't help but froze.

It was a gadget she found from a human shipwreck that sank on the seabed when she was in the original world.Because compared with the other precious stones, gold and ivory jade in the cabin, this pocket watch is quite mediocre in terms of workmanship and material, far from attracting her to collect it, so she gave it to Ti as a gift. Yago is gone.

Anyway, it's something that was picked up for nothing, and it can be given away to strengthen the relationship and complete the task that Ursula entrusted to her earlier, so it doesn't feel bad to give it away.

Probably because he has never seen such a fresh toy from human hands, Thiago looked very happy when he received this pocket watch, and for the first time, his face showed a smile commensurate with his young age at that time. , a smile from the heart, innocent and pure.

He made a serious promise to Bernice that he would take good care of this pocket watch. The azure blue pupils against the light of the water were clear and clean, full of joy in his eyes, together with those tiny floating spots of light, they broke out of their cocoons and became butterflies in the blink of an eye. .

After all, it's a child, Bernice thought, and it's really nice to give him something to make him happy for a long time.

It's just that she didn't expect that after all these years, Thiago is still using this pocket watch.

"Bernese?" Seeing that she seemed to be hesitating in a daze, Tiago called her softly, "Do you really want to go?"

"No." Bernice quickly came back to her senses, and her instinct for survival came online and she began to talk nonsense, "Why don't you want to, I also wanted to go out for a stroll, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty thought the same as me. It's just... "

She paused for a moment, as if she was considering her words, and then continued: "It's just that since His Majesty is going to go in person, does that mean that the situation outside the city is already serious? Is it because of this new sample? "

It is important to understand the purpose of the other party so that you can be prepared for what may happen next.

Although, how should I put it, from the perspective of the gap between demons and gods, this kind of preparation is really redundant, but it is better than nothing.

"You'll know when the time comes." Thiago lightly avoided the other party's question, which made Bernice feel as if she was choking on a mouthful of blood in her throat.

"Then see you later?"

"Okay, okay."

After watching Bernice turn and leave, Gabriel walked towards Thiago, looked at the two demons sealed in the ice cocoon in the corner, and asked, "Should we take them back to the headquarters for recontainment and observe them again? This sample seems to double the ability of the host, according to the conditions here, even if it can be restored to its original state before dawn, such a strange sample cannot be controlled, what do you think?"

Thiago looked at the slime sample in his hand that began to shrink in the light ball and pretended to be dead by being motionless. His smile was still gentle, but it no longer had the same real temperature as before: "It's too troublesome to send it back, just here."

Gabriel was puzzled for a moment, and then he saw that he withdrew the divine power exerted on the two demons.

The ice quickly melted and disappeared, and the freed demon was not as violent and ferocious as imagined. Instead, he huddled in a corner even more tensely, his back arched like a frightened cat, staring at the slender boy in front of him with eyes full of fear. A hissing hoarse whimper.

"What does Your Majesty plan to do?" Gabriel stared at them, habitually spread his wings slightly, and adjusted himself to a state of alert.

He guessed that what Thiago meant was to trap them in an ice cage, and then, just like observing and recording new mutants in the past, they would be controlled by the guardian angels in turn, and then gradually studied.

Unexpectedly, Thiago's answer was: "Take it apart and have a look, it's faster."

"Unpack?" Gabriel repeated the other party's words with a little astonishment.

"That's right. This new sample with parasitic ability, if you don't combine it with the host, you can't observe all its characteristics." Thiago explained in a flat tone, looking back and forth between the two demons for a while. Circled, the fingertips condensed into sharp bone spurs that were as transparent as ice crystals, and nodded to one of them, "That's it."

Gabriel hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly nodded in understanding, and lifted the screaming and trying to resist the poisonous lizard demon to the flat table made of ice, and used the spirit lock to firmly confine/immobilize its limbs .

As if it had already foreseen its end, the poisonous lizard demon began to struggle and roar frantically, trying to escape, waving its spiked long tail, but was dragged back into the immobilized situation by the gradually spreading low temperature.

The fingertips with sharp bony spurs picked away the layer of parasites clinging to the neck. Thiago could clearly feel that the poisonous lizard demon was trying to make a final death struggle, and even the screams became more piercing and unbearable.

He clicked his tongue without raising his head, and the habitual gentleness accumulated between his eyebrows and eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness: "Please cooperate, it will end soon."

The monster lizard glared at him in fear, feeling that the blood all over his body was condensed and blocked by the frost, and he was still and unable to make any sound.

"That's right." Thiago said lightly, as if comforting an ignorant child, "I won't feel pain."

"It'll be fine right now."

……

Bernice was holding a can of fresh small yellow croaker, sitting on the edge of the thick meadow under the street lamp, staring at the entrance of the underground shelter where no one came in and out even though it was no longer sealed by ice, not sure what she just heard Are those faint and shrill screams real, or are they just illusions.

She straightened her body and waited for a moment. Except for the conversations of a few angels and the familiar sound of waves from a distance, she did not catch any other sounds in her hearing.

The night sky is as dark as ink, and without sunlight as a source of heat to dissipate, the air is full of strong humidity with a clear sea salty taste, mixed with the unique low temperature of Kamchatka, forming a pressure that is about to materialize surrounded her.

I don't know if it was because she was anxious about where Tiago was going to take her, but Bernice gnawed the little yellow croaker much faster.When she reached out to fumble in the jar again, she realized that it had been eaten.

Seeing the empty jar in her hand, Bernice sighed in disappointment, and bit her nails with unfulfilled desire.

Seeing her like this, Troy, who was guarding the door, couldn't help but ask, "Are you hungry?"

Bernice sighed weakly: "I've never had enough."

Troy blinked in confusion, but quickly reacted.After all, the other party is a demon, and of course ordinary food cannot satisfy her.

Thinking of this, he was a little surprised: "But you look very calm. I have seen many demons who attacked towns and even temples because they didn't get enough food. They are all a group of lunatics, but you are completely different. .”

"How do you know I'm different? Maybe I'm just pretending." Bernice gave him a strange look.

Troy tilted his head, looked at the other party again, fluttered his snow-white wings slightly, then shook his head and said, "No. I don't feel any tendency for you to lose control or intend to attack, you are normal."

After listening to what he said, Bernice's expression became even weirder, but she still complimented habitually: "You can see this, it's amazing."

Troy scratched his head in embarrassment, his fluffy curly hair was messed up, making him look like a childish boy: "Not really. And you helped us just now, and I haven't said thank you to you yet. "

"Uh, it's just a matter of convenience, no need." Bernice adjusted her sitting posture uncomfortably, and suddenly saw an angel and several sea creatures who had just walked in at the door.

Also dragging a huge magic mirror.

That damned root of all evil.

She looked at the mirror blankly, and the green flames in her hand burned the jar to the ground: "Are you short of thugs? Guaranteed to slap it down and smash it into pieces."

Troy turned his head in puzzlement, and immediately uttered an ooh: "The magic mirror is going to be put into the asylum. The officer specifically explained it. It won't do if it is smashed."

"What's the use of a magic mirror without a mirror spirit? If you ask me, I might as well smash it." Bernice suggested eagerly.

"You seem to hate it."

"If I say yes, will you agree with me?"

"...No." Troy denied with a twitching mouth, and then explained, "Even if there is no mirror spirit, the magic power of the magic mirror itself will not disappear, but it will not be actively displayed. It still has many other uses .”

"What's the purpose?" Bernice asked sharply, frowning.

Troy hesitated: "For example, can all the creatures standing in front of it see the source of the strongest emotion in their hearts?"

"Strong emotion?"

For some reason, after knowing the ability of the magic mirror, Bernice's first reaction turned out to be——if it is true, wouldn't it be a bloody profit if she stole it to solicit business for herself? !

Thinking of this, several angels who were standing in front of the magic mirror and playing with it suddenly turned around and waved to Troy: "Come here and try!"

Troy agreed with a smile, and looked down at Bernice: "You should go and have a look together? It's rare for us to come across such interesting containment items here. In the past, the ones that were sent were all particularly vicious demons or mutants. "

Bernice: "Well, I'm actually a devil too."

Moreover, it is still a great monarch-level demon branded on the Twelve Sins Pillars.

In addition to her previous experience of having a passionate fight with the magic mirror at the bottom of the sea, there is a high probability that Ursula will be photographed. After all, strong hatred is also a kind of emotion, so she does not want to go.

Troy was awkwardly silent for a while, and then said again: "Whatever, let's go together?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I still think... eh?"

Before she finished speaking, Troy stretched out his hand, pulled her up and ran towards the magic mirror.

The completely unfamiliar contact made Bernice subconsciously want to break free, but before she had time to withdraw her hand, she caught a glimpse of the image in the mirror unsuspectingly.

Not Ursula.

It was the familiar blond boy.

Standing right behind Bernice, he is tall and tall, and his body is covered in pure white, making him look like a slender gladioli plant that has just grown from a snowy field. There is no expression on Qingjun's face as a decoration Sometimes, there is an inhuman coldness and refinement, and even an inexplicable sense of gloom.

Bernice was frightened by this scene, and felt even scarier than when she saw Ursula at the beginning, so she almost reflexively took out the bone blade and stabbed at the magic mirror to finish it off.

But at the moment before she was about to start, she heard the angels around her speaking respectfully behind her: "Your Majesty the Sea God."

She turned her head quickly and saw that Tiago had walked out of the shelter at some point and was standing behind her.

He lowered his gaze, staring at Bernice's hand that was just held by Troy, showing no emotion.
