How to become a sea witch

Time flows quietly by every minute and second among the continuous pieces of luminous celestial bodies.Some stars that are about to die are still barely hanging on the sky, and the gradually fading brilliance is completely swallowed by the dust cloud, leaving only fragments of afterimages shaking like frightened fish scattered in the deep sea.

For Leslie, the pleasure of knowing the deep pain of others is definitely the best satiating agent.

What's more,? This pain is accompanied by the struggle of old wounds being torn apart, and they all come from the boy in white in front of him.A newborn Supreme God who should be absolutely rational and unaffected by anyone or anything.

That feeling was like forcing the gods to surrender to him.

Even if it is himself who is immobilized by the spirit seal, Leslie still feels a kind of extreme lightness similar to freedom.He is very clear that these shackles only imprisoned/trapped his body, and the restrictions brought to him are only external.

But Thiago is different,? What he is imprisoned is his 'heart' that shouldn't exist,? Or those superfluous emotions.

From this point of view, he is no different from those ordinary creatures.

They are all the same.

A flawless god also has a weakness, and he has firmly grasped this weakness now.

"So, you've finished asking your questions, right?" Thiago looked at the weird and gloomy smile on Leslie's face, and asked calmly, even keeping his standing posture from the beginning The kind of repair is quite natural.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he suddenly changed the subject, with a thin smile on his delicate eyebrows and eyes, and his tone was gentle: "So, can you tell which of what I just said is true and which is false?"

After hearing this sentence, Leslie was stunned for a short moment, and then stared at the other party firmly. His thick gray and cloudy eyes were like a cloudy sky with a wind, and dark clouds and waves were treacherous.There was a slight hiss from his throat, and the strain of his chain-wrapped skinny arms made him look like some kind of threatened beast ready to pounce.

"You enjoy watching other people suffer and are very good at manipulating that emotion, which would have been interesting."

Thiago spoke slowly, and the endless sea that was still asleep just now immediately revived, and the waves surrounded his feet: "But you are too impatient."

"It seems that even after being exiled for so many years, you still haven't understood one of the most basic rules."

As he spoke, he leaned slightly and approached the other party, his long platinum hair slid down his straight shoulders one after another, and his gaze was looking straight at Leslie through the soft brilliance emanating from the spirit seal. With gloomy and somewhat scary eyes, his tone is soft like a benevolent mentor persuading a disobedient student, with a smile on his face:

"It's a good thing to have curiosity. But if you use it where it shouldn't be used, to find out something you shouldn't know, then I hope you can bear the consequences."

"As it is now."

The pitch-black waves rushed in from a distance, cutting off half of the already depleted star rock under Leslie's feet.The splashed sea water burned his skin, and the piercing pain spread, which immediately aroused Leslie to struggle instinctively, and the spirit seal that bound him was getting tighter and tighter.

Thiago reached out and gently swept away the water droplets that also fell on him, but did not bring any feeling, with a gentle and harmless smile: "So, do you still want to know about me now?"

I can't tell whether it was the overly intense pain or the anger of being teased, which made Leslie's expression become extremely ferocious and aggressive in an instant, and his voice was hoarse than before: "I don't think you just said Those are lies. On the contrary, I think you, like me, know very well that no matter how well a liar conceals it, there are flaws, and it depends on whether the party being examined is shrewd enough."

"Just take the words of that sea witch lady, she was really hopeless at that time, such a poor child. Even though I have been here for so long now, I still don't like the feeling of being touched by these sea water, I believe She was the same back then. So I believe what she said in that tortured situation was true. You did hold her dearly, didn't you?"

He laughed maliciously as he spoke: "Even if she didn't realize it at all."

"I'm the same as you?" Tiago directly skipped the topic behind Leslie and came to a certain sentence he said at the beginning. The soft colors, only the indifference of the wilderness, "Do you think we are the same?"

Leslie looked at his expressionless face, as if even his eyes were indifferent, and suddenly had a very strong feeling as if he had awakened - the slender boy in front of him was a god.

Not humans, not angels, not elves, not demons or even mermaids.

Although he is very young, he is only a newborn god.

But God itself is equal to eternity, an existence that can neither be defined nor fully understood by other beings.

This was the first thing the God of Light taught Leslie many, many years ago.After such a long time, he almost forgot this most basic fact.

"It seems that you still don't understand what I mean."

Thiago looked at him without emotion, as if he was looking at a fine dust trying to break free from the storm by his own strength: "You think I'm lying, it's only because I deny what you want to hear. You didn't I see the pain in you that you want to see, and that's not acceptable to you, is it? Because the whole time, you've thought of me as one of your kind, or any other creature you've ever seen."

"But I have reminded you from the beginning. I can feel the emotions of all things in the world but I can't see them. That was something in my childhood. Later I can see, and I can learn and imitate, but it is not necessary ...so you're trying to interpret me the same way you're a human being and you're a human being, and that's fundamentally not working.

Whether it is human beings or other creatures, your emotions are always rich. While being interconnected, you will also resonate with everything around you, and even prompt you to do many unexpected things.This phenomenon, to be honest, is indeed very interesting. "

"But you seem to have forgotten."

"Everything you do is based on human instincts and emotions. It is precisely because of these things that you create so-called rules, rob each other of so-called benefits, and formulate laws that you can accept .It also divides various subjective feelings such as happiness, grief, despair, hope, and longing, and uses them as various driving forces for living, and even thinks that it can leave a commendable imprint of racial civilization in the world. "

Thiago said calmly: "But these things are really meaningless to me. Apart from touching yourselves, they have no practical value."

"It's just that if I can observe and imitate your behavior, I can get the results I want in a relatively short period of time. Then, I am happy to do so.

For example, I need to know exactly what you gave to the Greer family in the first place. At the same time, I also found that you like to manipulate other people's pain to obtain spiritual satisfaction, so in order to achieve my goal, I can fully cooperate with you. you. "

Speaking of this, the expression on Leslie's face became more and more ugly, but Thiago ignored it and continued: "But you are a bit too much. It seems that as long as you are born as a human being, you will not be able to escape no matter how many years you live. human limitations."

This sentence seemed to have stabbed Leslie's fatal pain. He wanted to rush towards the opponent angrily, but was imprisoned in place by layers of chains.His dark gray eyes were slightly reddened by extreme anger, and veins appeared on his thin arms. A dazzling and powerful spell of light burst out from his hands, fiercely resisting the suppression from the spirit seal.

In the face of Leslie's extreme mood swings, Tiago still only maintained the indifference just now: "After you became the first believer in Augsig and also the first magician, you obviously learned from him You have learned a lot of things far beyond your previous knowledge. But since then, you gradually understand that even so, you still cannot get rid of the inherent destiny and limitations of human beings.

That's why you tried to steal the power of the all-seeing eye, and wanted to let yourself jump out of the shackles you were born with, and become what you wanted, an existence on an equal footing with gods, am I right?

From this point of view, compared with your original self, you really haven't made any progress at all. "

The rustling sound of iron chains came from all around, the starry sky on the dome began to dim, and a large shadow whizzed over, enveloping them.

"You want to treat me like one of my kind and try to find out my pain for fun?"

Thiago walked into the other party, and he met his eyes only through the violently fluctuating aperture and the spirit seal. On his fair face, the usual kind of gentle smile that was just right like a mask reappeared. But it makes people shudder: "Then as you wish, let me tell you what pain is as a human being."

"When you were just a thin child, but you couldn't resist the bullying and beating from your stronger brother or father, you could only be forced to sleep with the livestock, and you were laughed at by others of the same kind. Your personality is so sensitive and inferior that even The concern of others feels like alms with malice.

When you grow up, you still live in such a bleak way, but stubbornly believe that you are born different from other people, and you are really chosen by the God of Light to be trained as a believer and magician, so you feel that you have been reborn, Become the kind of person you dreamed of.

But soon, you discovered that human beings are so fragile and mediocre.And other creatures are born with powers that you have spent a lot of effort to master. Compared with them, you still seem so small, so humble that you can't breathe. "

"You resent, you are unwilling, you desperately want to break free from the shackles of your identity as a human being, imprint your own existence on every star, and live forever with everything in the universe. But you didn't realize that everything you did Still driven by your own nature. You've never made it, you'll never get over the identity you loathe, and will always suffer from."

After the last syllable fell, Leslie was so enraged by Thiago's words that he almost went crazy, and he screamed and cursed at him with tears in his eyes: "You son of a bitch..."

"almost."

After Thiago finished speaking, he raised his hand and shook it in front of him, stopping all his movements instantly.

Immediately afterwards, he spoke, and asked Leslie, who was stiff like a puppet, in that ethereal tone that seemed to be sighing, "Have you seen the Greer family?"

Without any hesitation, Leslie immediately replied mechanically: "Yes."

"You gave them something."

"Yes."

"what is that?"

"A lamp. It is one of the seven creations left by the God of Light in the human world. It is brightened by the believers' pure belief in God. Its light can dispel the invasion of demons and illuminate the night into eternal day."

"Why did you give this lamp to the Greer family?"

"Because it's dimmed."

Leslie said lifelessly: "Its light is brightened by burning the believers' pure faith, but many believers can't do this, so it dims. It becomes something else... It gets harder and harder Control, so I gave it to the Greer family...it asked for it."

"What it asked for?" Thiago repeated this sentence, recalling the night crow that appeared in Lambert's manuscript, and seemed to understand something, "Will it choose who to follow?"

"Yes. It likes people with extreme desires and fantasies. It's out of my control."

So that's why the all-seeing eye totem looks so weird, polluted by the selfishness and greedy desires of countless believers.

Tiago thought for a while in silence, sighed slightly, and quickly released the hypnotic control on Leslie.

When he swayed and knelt down, the star rock that supported him also cracked again, leaving only the last inch still struggling to support it.

At the same time, those stars finally turned into a grand and brilliant meteor shower, falling down from the dome one after another, falling into the endless sea, stirring up a thousand layers of huge waves to surround them.

Thiago's voice was mixed with the sound of the approaching waves, and it sounded ethereal and sweet from another world, and he was polite: "Thank you for telling me about that lamp."

Leslie raised his head abruptly, and the bloody viciousness and hatred were undisguised on his pale face that was too thin, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

"In return, I think I can tell you a way to make you less boring in the future."

He said, tilting his head and smiling: "You can try to guess which of all the words I told you are true. Including this sentence. "

As soon as the words fell, the black waves immediately surrounded Leslie from all directions, and the roaring tide covered all his voices.

Seeing that Thiago had re-entered the elevator, Gabriel was the first to break the frozen silence in the monitoring room for a long time.

He erased the picture in the pool, turned and walked out: "I'm going to meet Your Majesty, remember to focus on the bottom floor during this time."

"Ah... yes, I understand sir."

Then there was another silence, until Elvis said: "So, what Your Majesty said just now, what and the sea witch... are actually not true, right?"

"Of course not, definitely not. That's just to cover Rodriguez's words." Ashley was very sure.

"I think so too." Lucas nodded in agreement.

As a result, the entire monitoring room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After waiting for Thiago at the entrance of the passage, Gabriel saluted him as usual, and then got up and put away one of the keys under the other's signal.

"Have you seen it? What he gave to the Greer family back then was the magic lamp created by Augsig. I guess it was also the source of those parasites." Thiago said, While turning his head to look at Gabriel, he stopped.

"Did something happen?" He said, the expression on his face was as gentle and modest as ever, and his blue pupils were clear. "You look like you have a question and want to ask me."

"Ah, I was just wondering why Rodriguez wasn't taken back when he exiled Rodriguez under the Crown of Light." Gabriel lowered his head and staggered his gaze.

Thiago blinked and nodded in agreement: "I believe Augsig should have done that in the first place, but maybe other things happened later. But no matter what, that's not the point we need to figure out now. "

As they said that, they had already walked outside the gate of Meteor Garden, facing the entire sky of Star Sea Brocade Night, the Milky Way was shining brightly.

Thiago pushed aside the platinum-blonde hair that was blown to his eyes by the wind, and said with a little worry: "I'm not at ease now, but it's about the handling of the magic lamp."

"Your Majesty means..."

"Since that magic lamp is a creation of Augsig, even if it is polluted or even alienated, you and it are still of the same origin in essence. In this way, just like the current Rodriguez, even if It cannot be destroyed immediately if it is caught."

"Then after the capture is successful, bring the magic lamp back to the bottom layer, and let the toxin in the endless sea swallow up all its power..."

"No, this method can only be used on Rodriguez."

Thiago shook his head lightly: "He is a human being, and even in terms of his magical attainments, he may be the best among human beings at present, but the endless sea will easily consume his little power. But the magic lamp is different. And with Rodriguez still trapped on the ground floor, the magic lamp must never be put in again.

It has self-awareness and is not controlled by the collector.Even for it, the collector is just a tool that can be used, so if we only catch the collector, it will not be effective.On the contrary, it will let it abandon the current holder and turn to find the next person, which also makes us lose the target that we can track. "

After thinking about it, he added in a timely manner: "So before destroying the magic lamp, we can't take any obvious actions towards collectors for the time being."

"clear."

They left the Fallen Garden, passed through the latitude hole, and returned to the new world.

The local time at this time was exactly twelve noon, and there were very few tourists in the museum.

Compared with when they first came, the rain outside was already heavier at this time, almost splashing on the top of the whole city, the noisy and ear-piercing sound of the rain sounded as if they wanted to crush all the steel and soil. Crazy as broken, with lightning flashing through the dark clouds.

Before opening the door and walking into the torrential rain, Gabriel heard Thiago suddenly ask a very strange question:

"At that time, Bernice was imprisoned first, right? How much later was Rodriguez than her?"

When he said this, his tone was too indifferent, like a gray haze rainstorm outside, unable to capture any substantive emotional color at all.

Gabriel hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "About half a month."

"Half a month..." He muttered softly, his eyebrows frowned slightly, his azure blue eyes only reflected the shimmer of rain on the glass, and he nodded absently, "Let's go."

"Yes."

For some reason, Gabriel always felt that he was sad for a moment just now, maybe he thought of something.

Or rather, who did you think of.

The author has something to say: I feel that if I didn’t amuse myself to the point of dementia, this dungeon would be over, and this article would have been written more than halfway, and if I persisted, I would die. Come on, Jiang Jiuzi! ! ! ! !

By the way, this is probably the most shocking article I have ever written. Touching this ugly child, I raised him in Antarctica and I even cut him off.

After it’s over, I’ll reflect on what’s going on, after all, I was very flustered before the end of the update [Continuous dementia jpg]
