How to become a sea witch

The consequence of having a drunken reaction to milk is,? Even eating ice cream can give you a slightly over the top feeling.

When Bernice ate the last bite of the cone, it happened to be the moment when all the fireworks in the sky were in full bloom above her head. After the extreme noise and splendor, the dust on the ground withered.

She watched those flames continue to elongate and disappear in the dark night sky, and there was a clear faint sulfur smell in the air, which would have an unbearable pungent smell after a long time.

"Are you okay?" Thiago watched her attentively, adjusted his position and stood in front of Bernice, blocking the too dazzling flickering light and the chaotic crowd behind him, "Would you like to go to a place with fewer people?"

"Ah,? Okay."

She held her fingers that were a little sticky from the cream, and was about to put them back into her pocket, but she saw that the other party pulled out the dark blue square scarf on the chest of her jacket and handed it over in good time.

"Give it a go. Let's go that way." Saying that, without waiting for Bernice to thank him, Thiago took the lead and walked towards the direction where the crowd was sparse.

It is near the mouth of the river, so it is much cooler than the center of the square.Bernice walked in a night wind with the familiar bitter and salty smell of the ocean, feeling as comfortable as if she came alive all of a sudden.

"I thought there was nothing wrong with just a cone." She said to herself, as if a little confused, "I really don't understand why the milk here is similar to wine."

"Because time and space are different, even if some things here look the same, there are many differences from the original world." Tiago replied, while thinking for a few seconds, he added, "Just like you have a drunk reaction to milk, Some elves will get drunk even if they eat ordinary chocolate here."

"Chocolate?" Bernice repeated in surprise, then sighed sympathetically, "I thought this kind of thing would only happen to me."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because it's obviously not a good thing."

It wasn't the content of her words,? It was the overly relaxed and even teasing attitude that touched Thiago a little.He could feel that Bernice was so used to what happened to her, especially the bad things, as if it was normal,? All the bad and bad luck should be borne by her.

"So you don't think you'll encounter anything worthy of being called good?"

She was probably thinking of something else, but when she was about to speak, she temporarily changed it to: "After all, I was not a good jellyfish before, and it's normal if I don't encounter it. Maybe it's what humans call retribution."

Thiago frowned slightly, and heard her continue to say in a rather brisk tone: "But since I have changed now, maybe something good will happen in the future."

lie.

She didn't believe the future she said at all, just to imply that she was completely on the same side with them now.

After realizing this, the expression between Thiago's eyebrows and eyes became more and more dull, and even the temperature in his voice dropped a little: "Then what is a good thing for you?"

Help me undo the curse of the sea witch's blood origin on my body, and let me roll as far as I can, that's the best thing I can think of.Bernice slandered, and only replied: "It's fine now, no matter how good it is, I can't think of it for the time being."

"Have you never thought about changing anything? For example, other creatures misunderstood you."

Bernice wasn't sure if his word "other beings" was a slip of the tongue, or it sounded like everyone was misunderstanding her, but he wasn't the only one.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, although she didn't agree with Thiago's question, she still chose a very positive answer: "Yes. So I'm trying to reform myself now, I believe it will get better slowly Get up."

Thiago understood, she actually wanted to say "No, not at all, you see me as you like".

Just like...

Even though she was misunderstood and reviled by the humans in the entire Pendraken Town, and was judged surrounded by mermaids and angels in the Abyss God's Territory, she never denied or defended herself, let alone waited for him to come back.

She's used to it and doesn't care.

This kind of indifference is not only for the attitude of others towards her, but also because she doesn't care about anyone.

Of course it also includes him.

This is not the first time Thiago has realized this fact, but every time he thinks about it again, the disappointment he feels will not be relieved, but will become more and more festering.

Bernice noticed the change in his expression and felt a little confused.She is sure that her rhetoric can win or gradually win the favor of most people, and for the remaining people who are too shrewd to see through her true thoughts, contempt or ridicule is the normal reaction.

Instead of being like Thiago, who seemed to understand, but remained silent.

"I thought no matter what, at this point, he should hate you a little bit. But I don't feel this emotion at all. He doesn't hate you, he's just sad. "

The words of the magic mirror broke into Bernice's mind for no reason, and she found that this damn mirror spirit couldn't be more right.Apart from the word sad, she couldn't find another word that could more accurately describe the feeling Tiago brought her, even if he was just expressionless, with his eyebrows and eyes drooping.

Mermaids are indeed complex creatures.

Except for Ursula, she had never met such a difficult creature to please, and it seemed that nothing was right.

Thinking of this, Bernice simply changed the topic to a relatively safe and important direction: "Speaking of which, I just suddenly thought of something about collectors, which seems quite strange."

"what?"

"According to the results of Gabriel's investigation of past murders, the collector should have been in this new world for a long time. Logically speaking, it is impossible for him not to know that this city is the headquarters of the security department and the Sea Clan. .Then why does he come here to do these things?"

"I have also considered the question you mentioned." Thiago replied cooperatively, "But it is not surprising that he would do so."

"Why do you say that?"

"The collector's technique is gradually perfected. While he is becoming more and more proficient, if he keeps using the previous method unchanged, the feedback stimulation he can get will become weaker and weaker. In order to make himself Always able to get enough stimulation, he will continue to move closer to the edge of danger and exposure.

So if you think back to those materials, at the beginning, he would bury human corpses.But now, he no longer cared whether he would be discovered.Because his techniques are already very sophisticated, and he knows how to separate himself from those incidents. "

"So he came here just to increase the excitement?" Bernice felt a little incredulous.

"Perhaps. But if I had to guess, there is another reason which is also important."

"What is it?"

"surroundings."

As Thiago said, he turned his gaze forward, and the light mixed with the shadow of his eyelashes fell into the depths of his blue eyes, bringing a half-light and half-dark translucence: "You can see that he is sparing no effort to make those human beings They all dress up a certain way, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, as I said just now, maybe at this point, the similarity of the victim's appearance can no longer satisfy him. He needs a place with a similar environment, so that his fantasy can be satisfied to the greatest extent.

What he wants to reshape is not just a person, but a memory. "

"This kind of situation is very common, depending on the degree of severity. For example, after the death of a very important person, her family or partner will carefully preserve all the things she had during her lifetime. This is considered normal.

But at a serious level, her partner may stubbornly maintain the same place where they once had fond memories.What this place was like before she died, no matter how long it takes, that place must be like that, even the placement of items cannot be changed.Some even refuse to bury the body of the deceased, living with the bones for many years. "

"The reason for this situation is that in his heart, he has always firmly believed that his partner is not dead, so he deliberately maintains a familiar environment. But in fact, these familiar environments will aggravate his mental instability. An unrealistic morbid mentality.”

After listening to Thiago's words, Bernice suddenly recalled the necklace of the all-seeing eye, and suddenly understood: "So, the collector came here because he knew the guards were here, and that's what he wanted of."

After all, the Security Office is closely related to the Holy See of Light, and it seems that the girl the collector has been trying to reshape is also related to the Holy See of Light.

"And there are many creatures in the original world in this city. It can be said that it is the closest to the environment they used to live in in the entire new world."

After finishing speaking, Thiago added: "But these are just my guesses based on the behavior of collectors, and they may not be completely correct."

Bernice nodded, once again feeling sincerely that as long as it is related to emotions, it is really more complicated than living.

Fortunately, it is neither long-term nor unstable, but it is a good bet suitable for trading to make money.

Thinking of this, Bernice was about to say something more, when suddenly a clear and abrupt grunt sounded first.

So hungry.

Seeing her secretly pursing her lips and swallowing in embarrassment, Thiago stood still: "Are you hungry?"

"Not at all..."

Another grunt.

It's really not giving face at all...

So Bernice could only nod honestly: "I'm hungry."

"Then go hunting."

According to Bernice, this was supposed to be the time for them to say goodbye and go their separate ways.

Unexpectedly, just before she was about to say "See you later", Thiago added plainly: "Together."

So even dinner became a companionship.

This was a little uncomfortable for Bernice, because she hadn't hunted with other creatures for a long, long time except when she was a child.

After all, even jellyfish would quarrel with their own kind because of food, not to mention that most demons are not rational, respectful and humble when hunting, especially other demons that used to be in the sea witch's lair.So Bernice always went it alone, or simply picked up the scraps they ate.

Therefore, such a harmonious and friendly cooperative hunting like today is really a new experience.And with Seagod's own fish-sucking physique, she can catch a lot of prey with almost no movement, and there are all kinds of prey.

This is probably the feeling of heaven, Bernice sighed with emotion while sucking the oysters.She once had a dream in the Death Sin Garden that as long as she was hungry, she would open her mouth and there would be all kinds of chubby fish and shrimps jumping into her mouth in line.

I didn't expect it to come true today.

After eating many green shrimps, sea crabs and various small sea fishes, Bernice took a look at the few scallops that were trying to escape their fate by pretending to be dead, and handed the biggest one to Tiago: " Want some supper?"

He was slightly stunned, and immediately took it over, with a gentle smile on Qingjun's face: "Thank you. Do you want to go up?"

"Ah, yes. But I should be the one who said..."

"Let's go then."

Soon, they resurfaced, sitting on a group of rocks half submerged in sea water.This place is far away from the shore, except for the sound of the wind, there is the regular crash of the waves.

Bernice skillfully pried open the scallop in her hand, but she couldn't help sneaking glances at Thiago's smooth and slender ice-blue fish tail from the corner of her eyes.

Under the dim light, the scales that have been soaked in water have a kind of beautiful crystal like frost that has not yet melted, the color is cold, fresh and cool.Further up, the long platinum hair that was sticky and wet from the seawater hung down over the young man's fair skinned shoulders and neck, and the tail of the hair was docilely attached to his slender waist.

Regardless of combat effectiveness, Bernice sincerely felt that the mermaid was the absolute overlord of the sea, even if she only relied on her appearance.If you want, maybe you can expand your land business or something.

She was thinking so endlessly, and suddenly heard Thiago say as if talking to himself: "How long have we not been like this?"

"Ah?" Bernice, who was biting a lump of tender scallop meat, turned her head in a daze, "What is this?"

"Sitting on the sea, maybe waiting for the sunrise, maybe the sunset, or maybe the aurora and a snowfall." He said, his eyes wandered among the white waves that kept rushing and repeating, and finally docked at the other side's light emerald green sky. Deep in the pupils, "It's just the two of us."

How long has it been?

Bernice froze in place, a wave rushed towards her and fell into her arms, and then withered away quickly.Over and over again, as if asking for countless hugs.

She didn't understand why Thiago would suddenly bring up this topic. The sudden public execution made her completely unprepared, but she still quickly thought about what he was trying to test her by saying, or if he just said it casually.

In all fairness, the latter is unlikely.

So, after staring at each other for a while in silence, Bernice swallowed the scallop meat in her mouth, tried her best to be obedient and respectful, and replied, "It's been a long time. So, I have to thank Your Majesty for giving me a chance to let me out."

In fact, according to her habit, this sentence should be followed by a series of oaths of allegiance.But according to observation, this set is what Ursula would eat, and it might have the opposite effect when used on Thiago, so it's better to order it as much as possible.

Thiago stared at her for a moment, then smiled suddenly, didn't say anything, just frowned slightly, continued to fiddle with the scallop in his hand, his eyes were cold and misty.

He knew Bernice would say that.

It seems that for her, it is very difficult to distinguish false feelings from real feelings, she will unconsciously confuse them and automatically classify them into the former.

Seeing that Thiago didn't seem to intend to continue this topic, Bernice secretly heaved a sigh of relief and continued to eat the remaining scallops.

She picked up one of them and was about to pry it open, but suddenly found that the scallop seemed to be holding something.

A thin metal chain.

She tried tugging, and quickly pulled a women's pendant necklace out of the scallop.

The golden all-seeing eye, and the clear and messy cracks.

"This..." Bernice threw away the scallops and handed the necklace to Thiago, "Look at this, is it something that collectors keep every time?"

Thiago was stunned for a moment, and immediately took it over to take a closer look, and then looked at the deep black ocean in front of him.

"So... will there be bodies in the sea?" Bernice asked.

"Just look at it and you'll find out."

After he finished speaking, he jumped into the sea.

Bernice quickly followed and saw Thiago suddenly stop when he swam to the sea area where they were hunting just now.A layer of star-like silver-blue brilliance gradually swirled away, and the sea water quickly condensed and wrapped around it like transparent and glowing vines, curling up the blond hair and flying fiercely.

Driven by divine power, the water flow began to reverse its original state, constantly retreating from Thiago.Large sheets of crystal clear water bubbles mixed with bluish spots of light boiled and spread in the ocean, like an erupting meteor shower.The sea water rolled and receded quickly, and the dense and deep current rolled up everything around it and retreated in all directions, exposing a large expanse of seabed and wide space.

Frozen ice roared and condensed from the air, and in the blink of an eye, it was blocked into a cold and hard city wall, completely isolating the sea water.

There are large fish bones scattered around in the sea sand. Thiago picked up one of the curved ribs and looked at it. He said to Bernice, "This is new, and it has been cut by hand. The cross-section is very smooth, not caused by hunting and fighting. The outer layer of the bone has also been polished and engraved with words."

"What word?" She took it over and looked, and found that it was all some mysterious and obscure words, like some kind of spell.

"The Requiem of the Holy See of Light." He explained, "It will only be used when believers die."

Bernice blinked in surprise, looked at the wet sand around her, raised her hand and waved a circle of dark green light, clearing away layers of mud and sand, and finally saw the human corpses buried on the seabed.

Like all previous victims, she was wearing a long winter dress and had long jet black hair.

Tiago tilted his head to look at the corpse, looked down at the fishbone in his hand, and quickly understood: "He buried him at sea."

The author has something to say: Your little cutie suddenly appeared!

Jiyou said it well, but Fannini has half the dog-like attributes of Qiuqiu next door, so things will not develop like this.Thiago, you should learn more from the brother Zha next door [beaten]

In the end, everyone must eat well and stay happy. Don’t be tortured by gastroscopy like me... crawl away
