How to become a sea witch

Accepting new things is always a challenging thing, especially for demons who have been locked up in prison for a long time.

Since Tiago finished speaking, Bernice has been staring at the continuous rain outside the window in a daze, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses: "You mean, the human world I see now is the same as when I was What you have seen is not the same at all. The reason for this is that the dimensional barrier between the two worlds is gradually disappearing, and there is an overlap between them. In order to prevent the two worlds from completely merging, you use human Your disguise lives here, doesn't it?"

This sounds even worse than the lies she used to deceive the ignorant little sea fish.

"Basically." Thiago nodded, pushing the sea salt water in front of her. "As for other things, such as why all this happened, we are still investigating."

"But it seems that this situation should have been serious to a certain extent, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have personally intervened."

"There is a reason for that."

His answer made Bernice a little puzzled, but immediately became more vigilant.

So, she changed her sitting position, nestled herself into the soft sofa behind her as much as possible, and asked her most concerned question: "Then why did you choose me?"

Obviously, according to what happened, she should be the eternal enemy of the Sea Clan as the former Sea Emperor claimed.This basically announced that she would also be hostile to the Huanqiong God Realm, after all, the angels and the mermaids were always on the same front.

So in this case, she was released from prison on parole and sent to such a place, and was personally supervised by Gabriel and Thiago, which is not a good thing in any way.

It's just that compared to her alertness and nervousness, Thiago has always looked relaxed and gentle, as if sitting in front of him is not his enemy at all, but a friend he hasn't seen for many years: "Because we need your help .”

Bernice looked at the other party in surprise, although she felt a little thirsty, she still didn't drink the glass of water, she just asked, "What can I, a demon, do for you?"

"Find something." Tiago blinked, the blue on his irises was so clear that it seemed to melt away at any time, "You know, this is different from our world. If you want to find and settle it without exposing yourself All the contingencies caused by the fusion of worlds are really troublesome."

"Troublesome?" Bernice repeated, her expression became a little weird, as if she had heard some weird joke, "But if it's something that even Seagod and Archangel find troublesome, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for me to do it, right?"

"Not necessarily. You have your talents and abilities, and that can help us a lot."

"I don't know."

"There are signs of the disappearance of the dimensional barrier, so the place where it appears first is also the most serious. In order to protect our world from being discovered, and to maintain the normal order of this world, we must closely monitor those dimensional void areas. "

"Prevent people here from going to our world?" Bernice vaguely understood.

"And keeping those beings that belong to our world from coming here. Absolutely policing certain places is something you're good at, isn't it?"

Indeed it is.

This is one of the talents of sea witches, formed in order to avoid the pursuit of them by the mermaids who are the royal family in the sea.

As long as it is in the sea area controlled by sea witches, even if an extra piece of seaweed grows, they can be found by them.

After thinking for a while, she felt something was wrong: "However, I still don't quite understand. Obviously, it is not difficult for Sea God to absolutely supervise the entire ocean, right?"

Thiago smiled lightly, and a pair of blue eyes under the thick eyelashes were as clear as sea water stranded on a glacier in the slightly dark light of the room: "Theoretically, this is the case, but I can't do it in my current state." sort of 'in' here,"

"what?"

After realizing what he was about to say, Gabriel finally reminded: "Your Majesty, do you need to let 0331 know about this?"

"it does not matter."

He lightly raised his hand, signaling that the other party should not be too nervous, and kept his eyes on Bernice, and then explained: "The disappearance of the dimensional barrier has had a very serious impact on our world, so 30 years ago, both the God of Light and I Choose to go into hibernation successively to keep the world running. What you see now..."

When Thiago said this, he tapped his brows with his hand: "It's just a split body that was incarnated with the divine descent technique before I went to sleep. Whether it's divine power or memory, it's incomplete."

Incomplete split memory?

Bernice looked at him in surprise, only then did she notice that there was no sign of Sea God on his forehead, and she suddenly understood why the other party was so kind to her. It turned out that her own memory was not completely inherited.

In other words, he may not remember those things in the past.

This is obviously beneficial to him, if he is not lying.

However, combined with the fact that the other party can actually find out his criminal record in the Fallen Sin Garden at any time, it seems to be the same whether he remembers it or not. It is impossible for him to be completely ignorant of those things.

But if he already knew, then his attitude seemed too strange.

What was he thinking about?

Bernice stared at the young man in front of her complicatedly, trying to find even a trace of anger or resentment towards the past from his face.

Yet she found nothing.

Tiago faced her with a kind of gentleness and indifference that was completely incomprehensible, which made Bernice a little at a loss.

She would rather that the other party would be at loggerheads with her as soon as they met, or simply make some harsh demands to embarrass her - at least that would be in line with her vision, and the reaction they should have when they reunited would also give her a little peace of mind.

But Thiago didn't.

This gave Bernice a sense of crisis as if she was stepping on a ball of soft cotton to move forward.

Neither can reach the reality, and never know whether it is a stable ground or a bottomless abyss hidden under those fluffy softness.

Maybe, part of it was guilt and something that was too vague for her to admit it.

She blinked, and her eyes erratically jumped on the various furnishings in the room, from the vase by the window to the scallop shell decoration at the corner of the table, and then the spine of the snail with smooth lines.

"Have you figured it out?" Tiago saw that she was absent-minded, so he didn't order any clothes, but asked with his attitude unchanged.

Bernice came back to her senses, looked at him, then at Gabriel, who was standing aside with a cold expression, and finally nodded after a few difficult balances.

Anyway, since I have been brought here, I really have no choice at all, and I agree to it while the other party is still able to talk, so everyone is happy, otherwise who knows they will join forces and do something useless to force her promise.

Of course, it would be even better if he could take advantage of his memory loss and try to clean up his image, so as to make up for the crime so that he can coexist peacefully in the future or something.

After all, if she could, she didn't really want to be imprisoned for the rest of her life, or even if she was released, she would still live in the shadow of being whipped to death by the sea god at any time.

If it really doesn't work, take this opportunity to use a cute image to paralyze the other party, and after removing the light prohibition that binds you that prohibits the use of high-level magic power, it is also a good choice to run away immediately when you find the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Bernice suddenly realized a problem:

Is he really missing that memory, or is he just pretending not to remember?

Before she could figure out why, Thiago had already made his promise very simply: "Then, if everything goes well, you won't have to go back to the Fallen Garden after seven months, you can Completely free. I promise you."

Bernice pursed her lips. Although she didn't believe his words in her heart, she still stretched out her hand, and the dark green flame immediately burned her hand: "Deal."

This is the branding fire that sea witches and other creatures use when establishing deals.

"Sorry, it happens every time I say that word, professional reflex."

As she spoke, just as she was about to take back those flames, Thiago had reached out and held her hand without hesitation. The pad of his thumb brushed the skin on the back of her hand intentionally or unintentionally. Dew's soft blossoms sweep across.

"A deal," he said.

Bernice was instantly stunned by the other party's sudden actions, and even the burning fires of the brand were extinguished.

Immediately afterwards, she withdrew her hand like an electric shock, shrugged her shoulders like a hamster suddenly frightened, with both hands curled up in front of her chest, and her light green eyes stared at the other party: "What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry if I offend you. But I just think that since we're going to be together in the future, it might be better to be kind to each other." Thiago slowly withdrew his hand, the expression on his face still gentle and soft , as if he didn't feel that there was anything abnormal in his actions just now.

"Shaking hands with the sea witch in the branding fire means that the contract is concluded, and you don't know..." At this point, Bernice suddenly reacted, "You, don't you remember this?"

If he doesn't even remember this, then maybe he really doesn't have any impression of what he has done, so he can still maintain this kind of non-aggressive attitude that belongs to the mermaid clan when facing her. tenderness.

Thiago nodded thoughtfully: "I see, I think I remember now."

Bernice shook the hand that he had just touched uncomfortably, and said casually with a smile: "Fortunately, this kind of contract is completely invalid to the gods, so there is no problem, otherwise you will be here now." Already my girl."

"Really." The young Sea God sat opposite her, all in white, with a gentle smile that couldn't find any faults.

Seeing the other party's eyes fluttering and not answering, Thiago didn't say anything more, just let her go back to the residence to rest first, and wait for tomorrow to talk about other things.

Betty, a lively and lovely female seal, is in charge of leading the way. She is very talkative and familiar with herself.Even if Bernice didn't respond to her words at all because she was too confused, she could still speak on her own.

After Betty brought Bernice to the reef house built under the water, she bid farewell to her and swam away. The long underwater dive made it difficult for her to adapt as a seal.

Bernice hovered in front of that room for a while, always worried that some big monster was shut inside, waiting to swallow her in one gulp.

But soon, she felt that this guess was ridiculous. After hesitating for a long time, she finally closed her eyes and stretched out her hand to open the door.

She slid into the house along the water, and saw a blooming bright red rose on the table, sealed by transparent deep-sea ice crystals, full of vitality.

……

After three consecutive days of rain, the sky finally cleared up again, and during this time, Bernice almost understood some basic situations.

For example, because the dimensional barrier is gradually disappearing, the two worlds are slowly merging.There are actually not many aliens living in the human world today, and even most of them have completely adapted to the environment here, and they each have a new life here.

For another example, there are currently two institutions that manage these alien creatures in the human world:

The ocean is managed by the mermaid clan of Abyssal Sea God Territory, headquartered in the Ocean Observation and Research Center.The sky is monitored by the Angel Security Office of the Huanqiong God Realm, the headquarters is set up in the Meteorological Supervision Bureau, and the land is shared by the two.

This is understandable, after all, controlling the weather is a traditional skill of angels.But what Bernice didn't expect was that they also took part-time jobs in other affairs, including but not limited to "application for personal customized identity in the human world", "investigation and clearance of exposure risk information", "response to sudden turmoil", etc. wait.

In contrast, things at the Marine Research Center are much more relaxed.After all, due to the limitations of its own innate conditions, human beings' ability to interfere and influence the ocean is relatively weak compared to land.Therefore, many emergencies that occur in the ocean will not be noticed by humans at all, and the risk of exposure is relatively small.

But that doesn't mean it's completely safe at the Marine Research Center.

Apart from other things, at least for Bernice, being forced to be Thiago's assistant and having to meet and communicate with him every day is enough to give her a month of nightmares.

In contrast, she even felt that getting along with the Archangel who always had a dead face was a rare leisure and relaxation.

Gabriel stood straight aside, looked indifferently at Bernice who was sitting on the steps crazily throwing special salt into the water glass to adjust the taste, and said nonchalantly: "It's surprising that you have such an idea. I'm surprised."

"What do you mean?"

"I thought you were ready to face any situation in the future when you committed the crime."

"Then I thought that when you caught me, you would kill me directly, or sentence me to death and choose another day for execution."

Gabriel glanced at her: "Judging from your original crimes, it is indeed enough to be sentenced to death."

"Then why not?"

After hearing her question, Gabriel's expression finally fluctuated very slightly, as if he was also a little confused, but he quickly returned to his original state, and only replied coldly: "This is not something I should ask. Of course, if you I really want to know, and I can help you too."

"You help me?" Bernice stared at him warily.

"The only one who can answer your question is the Supreme God. I can send you to see them." Gabriel shook the cross necklace on his chest meaningfully.

It was the Holy Sword of Judgment after he put it away.

Bernice shivered with a deep sense of coldness, and moved a few inches to the side: "No, am I already seeing one of them every day? But depending on the situation, maybe I am a little uncomfortable with heaven, and it is more suitable for me to go to heaven." Not necessarily hell."

After finishing speaking, she drank the special sea water in her hand, ran a few steps and jumped into the deep blue sea in front of her.

As soon as you enter the water, all the heat is instantly dispelled.Bernice followed the current and swam lightly towards the deep water area, her seaweed-like black hair was floating around, and when she looked up, she could see a large area of ​​colorful light penetrating down from the water layer above her head.

They are constantly crushed and restored by the sea water, and the swaying transparent water light reflects the underwater world in the entire shallow sea area into a dreamlike light blue.

This is the marine ecological simulation circle at the bottom of the research center, a management area built by Thiago in the outer sea with divine power. The overall scope is about the same size as a giant city on land, and it is also the main activity and activity of all marine life in the original world. living area.

On the other hand, the two-storey building built on land and facing the sea seems much more empty, and usually only a few creatures who can rely on their own magic power to temporarily leave the sea will go there.

After swimming forward for a while, Bernice could already see the isolation barrier from a distance.

The crystal clear layer is extremely elastic to the touch, and when it touches it, there will be circles of rippling fine rays of light that will continue to spread, as if it can breathe.

It is not difficult for Bernice to penetrate this barrier.But as early as the first day when she came here, Thiago had reminded her that it was best not to do this, because if she stayed in the offshore waters outside the enchantment for a long time, it might be dangerous.

At that time, Bernice still felt quite incomprehensible to his words, and then asked seriously: "But looking at the entire ocean world, the biggest villain is myself. What other dangers can there be?"

Thiago sat on the reef, looking at the waves that kept coming ashore and disappearing, as if he was entertained by her words, he smiled slightly: "Now you don't count."

Is this a disguised acknowledgment of the whitewashing career that he is about to start?

A good start is half the battle, and we are one step closer to running away!

Thinking of this, Bernice couldn't help but secretly rejoice, but she continued to ask: "Then what do you mean by danger?"

"Because of the development of science and technology, humans in this time and space have a much more serious impact on the natural environment than humans in our world. Therefore, the closer to the sea area of ​​​​the bustling city, the more polluted it is, and it is not suitable for living things."

"That's why you set up an enchantment?"

"To purify the toxins in the seawater."

"...The sea water here is poisonous?"

"That's not too much. But if you stay too long, it will definitely be uncomfortable."

From this point of view, the marine creatures living in this time and space are really unlucky.

Of course, the most unlucky one was herself.
