How to become a sea witch

Don't jump into the ocean in your wedding dress.

This was the first thought that came to Bernice when she dived into the sea.Because obviously any designer in this world,? Will not take the water absorption of the wedding dress material into consideration.

She didn't know what the veil dress she was wearing was made of, but she was absolutely sure that it was not a proper diving suit.Even if it wasn't for the fact that she was a sea clan,? She had no doubt that the weight of this dress after touching the water could bury her directly in the sea water.

The midsummer sun penetrated into the bottom of the shallow water area, and there were blurred ripples of light everywhere.The wide hem of the skirt was unscrewed by the buoyancy of the water flow, and a large piece of hazy white surrounded her like a flower that bloomed in an instant, hindering sight and movement.

Bernice pushed them away impatiently, and at the same time quickly adjusted her direction and swam towards the small town on the shore.The moment the water broke through, she reached out to pick up the long skirt that was dragging in the waves and flicked it neatly, all the water droplets were separated from her body under the magical force, and fell back into the sea one after another, dry and soft The white gauze danced behind her as she ran forward quickly.

Not in the mood to care about the strange gazes of the people around him or even taking out their mobile phones to take pictures, Bernice looked around impatiently, and found that the name on the road sign was not the place Lambert said, so she quickly stopped and looked at her A young man asked, "Help me, how can I get to the Lomon Losov Hospital on Cornett Street?"

"That hospital?" The young man stared blankly at the other person's light green eyes, a little unresponsive, "That place has long been abandoned."

"I know,? Where is it?"

The young man didn't know the route, so he couldn't help asking: "Are you going to take a scary wedding photo?"

Bernice didn't answer, but hurriedly left a thank you and quickly ran in the direction he said.

Pass through the old town and walk a section of road, turn right at the third intersection and enter Cornett Street, and at the same time, you will see a deserted and dilapidated scene.All kinds of abandoned buildings are covered with new green plants, the road surface is caved in, and weeds are overgrown. Many scrapped cars and piles of garbage are just randomly discarded around.From time to time, there are many birds, various wild cats and stray dogs everywhere.

Standing here, you can already vaguely see the dilapidated signboard of Romon Losov Hospital. It is at the uphill end of the street, far away from all the buildings on the street, standing alone among the ruins and the surrounding dense green forest.

I hope that this wedding dress will still be intact after she crosses the block and breaks into the abandoned hospital to save people.Otherwise, when Silvedu asked, she could only excuse that it was torn by Greer, and any follow-up questions related to compensation would just go to him.

Thinking of this, Bernice grabbed the long skirt with both hands, and quickly ran towards the abandoned hospital on the ramp.

According to Greer, the girl was locked in a closed treatment room at the left end of the corridor on the fourth floor of the hospital.After Bernice split open the rusty iron door in front of her with a bone blade, she quickly came to the entrance of the building.

I don't know what has happened here, the whole hospital looks very dilapidated, even the stairs are dilapidated, and some places are even empty.

Without much hesitation, Bernice quickly kicked off the pair of high heels that were useless in this situation, and quickly ran up to the fourth floor with bare feet, feeling the pain from stepping on the gravel. There was no time to stop either.

At the end of the corridor in front of you is the room with the number plate of the treatment room barely hanging. Bernice broke open the door with a bone blade, and when she turned her head, she saw the girl in the white dress trapped in the glass tank.

At this time, the depth of the water had already exceeded the girl's forehead, but she didn't struggle in any way, she just let the shackles on her hands hang her in the water softly, her complexion was pale, her eyes were closed tightly, as if she was already dead.

Light green magic radiance grew from Bernice's hands, and the water accumulated in the glass tank immediately began to swirl automatically, lifting the girl out of the water quickly, and then slowly fell to the ground pulled by the magic.

A large piece of green light spread out, completely enveloping the girl, and gradually showing signs of coming back to life from her lifeless state at the beginning.

After choking out a lot of stagnant water, her bloodless face was gradually stained with a faint blush from coughing hard, her whole body was trembling and convulsing, trying to take a deep breath, even such a small movement as opening her eyes Extremely painful.

Suddenly, she saw a figure beside her.

A beautiful woman in a gorgeous long dress like a white wedding dress, with long black hair and bright light green eyes.

She squirmed her lips and looked at Bernice with dazed eyes. Her dull thinking was not enough to support her to think about what happened. She only felt that she was dead.But why even after death, I still feel so uncomfortable, I can't help but want to cough, even breathing through the trachea is painful, and the nasal cavity and lungs are also burning.

Slowly, the layer of soft green covering the sight gradually faded away.Seeing that the strange black-haired woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, she bent slightly to get close to her, and stretched out her hand to test the pulse of her neck.

Her hands were warm, much gentler than those waters.The girl couldn't help but move slightly, and heard the other party ask: "What's your name?"

"Amy." The girl answered with difficulty, her thoughts were in chaos, and the bright light outside the door gave her a very headache, "Amy Stoke."

"Okay, Amy. You go to sleep now, and when you wake up, you'll be home, and you won't remember these painful things."

As Bernice spoke, she was about to cast a sleeping spell on her, but she saw her looking at her with a confused and innocent expression, and murmured, "Are you an angel?"

This sentence made Bernice stunned for a moment. Before she could deny it, she heard Amy whisper to herself again: "You are so beautiful, you must be an angel..."

After a brief moment of silence, Bernice still answered her words: "I'm not an angel."

It's the devil.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, after Amy wakes up, she won't remember all this.

"Go to sleep."

As she spoke, Bernice waved her hand in front of Amy, watched the other party quickly fall asleep in a heavy drowsiness, then picked her up on her back, returned along the original road, found the nearest public phone booth and called the police .

About twenty minutes later, Amy was picked up by the police car that arrived.Standing on the roof of the building across the street, Bernice finally let out a long sigh of relief after watching the car flashing red and blue light go away quickly.

As for the risk exposure that needs to be dealt with in the future, let's leave it to the security department, after all, they are professionals.

However, considering that this area is an abandoned urban area, there are almost no street cameras, and Amy will not remember all this after waking up, Bernice thinks it should not have much impact.

As long as the human police don't track down Greer for this.

But that's not something I need to worry about anymore, it's all over.

Thinking of this, Bernice tried to stretch her shoulders.Just when she was about to turn around and walk back, the sharp pain from the soles of her feet immediately reminded her about the pair of translucent crystal shoes that she casually threw in the abandoned hospital.

And what ensued was a series of nightmarish flashbacks about the wedding and Thiago.

And the worst thing is, maybe the excitement at the wedding just now was so great that when Bernice recalled the other party, the first image that came to mind was him holding her hand in the auditorium, Gently and sincerely, the way she said the phrase "I will go against my nature, go against my instinct, surpass all laws, and love you forever" to her word by word.

Thinking of this, Bernice couldn't help shivering, even the hot sun above her head shrouded her body was icy cold, it didn't have any effect on warming her skin other than making her feel very dazzling.

Although it is hard to say whether Ursula's resurrection is more terrifying or Thiago's serious words are more terrifying, but Bernice feels that if she has a choice, she might really bite the bullet and choose to face the former .

"What are you afraid of?" Greer's words broke into her thoughts abruptly, each syllable sternly questioning her.

What on earth are you aware of that scares you so much?

Or, is what you fear real, or is it just your own hallucination?

After all, if it were you, would you treat a creature that hurt you like that, and even almost killed you?

how can that be possible?

Bernice curled up on the ground, leaning her back against the concrete fence behind her, her light green eyes staring blankly ahead, the shadow of her eyelashes struggling with the brilliance of the sun in her eyes.The white wedding dress on her body was extremely warmed by the sun, surrounding her like a soft and fluffy cloud, bit by bit, her pale fingertips and cheeks were soaked in fresh warmth, and the tulle on the skirt barely covered the bloodstains Feet all over.

She is a demon, and she is also the most hated demon of the mermaids, and Thiago is a god, this is an obvious fact.Based on this alone, one should know that none of what he said at the wedding could be true. There is no doubt about it. Anyone who doubts is just out of his mind!

So, all this is just my own illusion. After all, the other party is a mermaid who can fool the magic mirror... It should be, but...

"Ah——! I'm so bored, I'm so bored, why do you think so much? Of course, it sounds like a lie, why do you need to think about it!" Bernice grabbed her long hair and rubbed it irritably. , thick black hair almost tangled into a bird's nest on her head.

I really don't understand why I'm so neurotic and overthinking this meaningless question, it's just ridiculous.She patted her face angrily, then stood up enduring the sharp pain in the soles of her feet, and at the same time grabbed the overlong skirt with one hand and lifted it up, trying to keep them from getting the blood on her feet.

Although it seemed useless, Bernice looked at the gauze skirt on her body and sighed, planning to clean up the dirty places after returning home.

But the wound on the bottom of the foot...

She tried to move her toes covered in dust and blood. The foreign body sensation and pain from the wound at the bottom were obvious, but there was no time to deal with it now.Anyway, demons have strong resilience, so let's go to the nearby sea to clean them after picking up the shoes.

Speaking of which, how to get back from here is also a problem.Although it is certain that she will be able to return to the city where the observation center is located through the ocean, but she does not know the way, and it is hard to say whether she will meet marine life willing to show her the way.

Or, she can only wait for Gabriel and the others to treat her as a target for absconding during the parole period, find and take her back through the light prohibition branded on her arm.

Thinking of this, Bernice sighed and walked slowly downstairs towards the ruined Lomonosov Hospital at the end of the street.

However, the plan is ideal, and the reality is always caught off guard.

At least in Bernice's imagination, she never thought that she would meet Thiago here.Even when she suddenly saw the other party across a ruin full of rubble and gravel, she wondered if she was hallucinating.

But it’s not right, why all my hallucinations seem to be about this fish... But, maybe this idea itself is a weird hallucination...

She was thinking nonsense, while subconsciously taking a step back, stepping on the shards of glass under her feet unpreparedly, she was immediately provoked by the sudden sharp pain and gasped for air.

Thiago quickly turned his head along the source of the voice, and his originally calm and gray eyes immediately became bright after touching Bernice's figure: "Bernice."

As he said, he quickly came to support the other party who was standing a little unsteadily, frowning slightly and looking down, he saw that she was barefoot and bloodstained.

Without asking what happened, Thiago directly picked her up and sat aside, while he knelt down in front of her on one knee, slightly lifted the hem of the wedding dress, and gently held her ankles on his shoulders. on the lap.

Bernice stared blankly at the mermaid in front of her, feeling a little overwhelmed, her first thought was—so this is really not her hallucination, otherwise she wouldn't dare to imagine it like this.

Not noticing the blank expression on the other party's face, Tiago lowered his head, all his attention was placed on the soles of her bloody feet, and the brows could not help but frowned deeper, but his voice was still gentle when he spoke. Sweetly: "Be patient a little bit, it will be fine soon."

The silver-blue radiance with the temperature of sea water, together with the long platinum hair that slid down her shoulders, brushed against Bernice's toes.

It was supposed to be a refreshing feeling, but it made her inexplicably feel an uneasy burning sensation, and she couldn't tell whether it was from the sunlight above her head or the soft and cool hair tips touching her skin.

After quickly regaining her senses, Bernice flinched uncomfortably, trying to distance herself from Thiago, but was held back by the other party, so she quickly explained: "It's just a small injury, It's okay, I'll..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other party raised his head and took a look, without any special look on his face, and he didn't speak.

Bernice was taken aback by him, and slowly closed her mouth, only quietly letting him continue to treat her.

He withdrew his gaze, lowered his head again, raised his fingers to put on the wedding shoes on the side for her carefully, and then held the other more seriously injured foot on his lap, carefully picking out those embedded in the flesh. The gravel is dirty, as if the demon in front of her is actually a fragile glass doll, which can hurt her with a little force.

"Will it hurt?" he asked.

"Ah? No, it doesn't hurt." She could bear the pain completely, not to mention that now that she had divine power to protect her, she really didn't feel it at all.

After getting the answer, Thiago hummed lightly, and continued to perform the movements on his hands more carefully.

There was no verbal communication as a way to ease the embarrassment. After drifting back and forth for a long time, Bernice's eyes finally fell back on the other person, watching the sun shining on his long platinum hair, so bright that it almost hurt her eyes. .

I have to admit that, as the race closest to gods like angels, mermaids are extremely beautiful.Especially when the other party is still a genuine Supreme God, that kind of beauty is not subject to any aesthetic differences of race or gender.

It's just that compared to the other party's overly confusing appearance, Bernice felt that his inner thoughts were more difficult for her to understand.

"Okay." Thiago said, and was about to put on the other shoe for Bernice, but was quickly interrupted by the other side, and then he grabbed the shoe and put it on.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm fine." After she finished speaking, she stepped on the ground vigorously, proving that she had indeed fully recovered.

"It's fine." He stretched out his hand to help her up naturally, and at the same time looked at her and asked, "How did you make yourself like this?"

Bernice explained the whole incident in a few words, hesitated briefly, and asked, "Since you have come here, have you met Greer?"

Thiago hummed, and answered the question she didn't ask by the way, but his attitude was quite understated: "He's dead."

So fast?

Bernice blinked, feeling a little surprised, but also vaguely guessed that his death might have something to do with Tiago.

After all, Greer caused so much trouble for them, and killed many innocent humans, but he himself was running out of time because of trading souls, so there was no value in imprisoning them for punishment and redemption, so it was better to deal with them directly.

Thinking of this, she said casually: "That's good, the matter is finally over, and everyone's work is not in vain."

"Busy?" Tiago stopped suddenly, and repeated the word indifferently, his voice was not loud, but Bernice trembled suddenly.

Damn.She couldn't help biting her tongue hard, and suddenly gasped in pain.

Why dig a hole for yourself, but take the initiative to bring up this terrible topic?

Bernice pulled the ends of her hair angrily, and at the same time quickly decided that she must hold the right to speak in her own hands, and she must not let him have the opportunity to continue to say something that she couldn't catch up with.

"By the way. Speaking of which, your god's birthday celebration seems to be two days ago, isn't it?"

"Ah."

"It will definitely be very lively then, right? I've only heard other angels mention it before..."

"Maybe." Although Thiago wasn't perfunctory, he didn't answer enthusiastically, as if this topic had nothing to do with him.After a while, he suddenly turned to Bernice and asked, "So are you coming?"

This is the bad point of cross-species communication. No matter how smooth and perfect the beginning is, it will always suddenly get stuck in the middle of the conversation.

"Me?" Bernice hesitated for a few seconds before explaining rather circuitously, "After all, this is your celebration. Of course I really want to go, but..."

"Then come on, I'll wait for you."

Thiago simply interrupted what she wanted to say later, staring at her with blue eyes without blinking, dazzled by the sun, delicate and bright, as clear as transparent seawater that has just melted from a glacier.

It is really hard to say no to being looked at by such a pair of eyes.Bernice pursed her lips repeatedly, lowered her eyelashes to avoid looking at the too sparkling and moving blue, and only replied in a murmur: "Thank you for your invitation. But I think other sea people may not want to see it. Me, so it still counts..."

"Didn't you always want to prove that you have changed your position and want to be a harmless sea clan?" Instead of using more accurate words such as sea witch or demon, Thiago directly chose the very general term sea clan. And vague neutral words, "Then, let's start with this celebration."

Realizing that she had finally shot herself in the foot, Bernice chose to give up after a brief struggle, and could only nod her head in agreement: "...Your Majesty is right."

"Then it's settled?" He smiled slightly, not sure if he was really happy or not.

"Yes."

After returning to the Observation Center, Silvedu, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them finally come back. At the same time, he stood up and walked towards them briskly. Elegant and smooth: "Your Majesty, Bernice."

"Where are Gabriel and the others?" Thiago looked around, but didn't see the figures of the angels.

"Going to deal with the follow-up exposure risk control issue." Silvedu replied, and turned his head to look at Bernice, seemingly worried, "Are you okay? You suddenly disappeared at the wedding just now, and Your Majesty has been very worried you."

"Ah... I, I'm fine." Bernice forced a smile with the corners of her mouth parted, feeling a little trembling from her last words, and she didn't know if it was because of too much air conditioning around her.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, she hadn't hunted yet, and the hunger in her stomach began to torment her more and more clearly, preventing her from concentrating on what Silvedu had to say about the celebration of the birthday of the gods. After thinking about something, from time to time, he raised his head slightly and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking in the direction of the ocean blocked by many lush green plants.

Need to find an excuse to get something to eat first, even if it's just flying fish.

While Bernice was thinking about it, she couldn't help biting her thumb nail secretly. Before she could speak, she heard Thiago say to her: "By the way, I asked Chao Ling to bring some food, just In your room upstairs, you remember to eat. I have something to do, so I have to go first."

After speaking, he quickly turned and left.

Bernice was taken aback for a moment, and before she even said thank you, she saw that he had disappeared at the gate.

She came to the room according to the other party's words, hesitated at the door for a while, and then slowly opened the door. Sure enough, she saw a lot of fresh food that Chao Ling had prepared, and a complicated feeling suddenly came to her heart.

You don't even need to look closely, just by the smell, Bernice can tell that it's the type she likes.

She changed her wedding dress, put back on her usual black dress and sat on the chair, reached out to pick up a little yellow croaker that was still staring at her in horror and wagging its tail desperately, and then put it down again.Then he picked up the oyster next to him, and after a moment of hesitation, he put it back in its original place.In the end, he simply fell back, nestled in the back of the chair, stared at the seafood feast in front of him in a silent daze.

There was the sound of drizzling water coming out of the fish tank on the side, it was Chao Ling.

"Miss Sea Witch." The familiar image of a woman formed by the transparent water flow was standing upright on the water surface, looking towards Bernice with shimmering eyes, "Is it because these foods don't suit your taste?"

"Ah?" Bernice came back to her senses and shook her head quickly, "No, I was just thinking about other things. Thank you for helping me prepare these."

As she spoke, she grabbed the blue crab in front of her and began to skillfully disassemble it, squeezing out the crystal clear meat and stuffing it into her mouth.

Chao Ling replied without changing his face: "It's not me, His Majesty ordered me to do this."

its stuck.

Really stuck.

Bernice choked on a mouthful of crab meat and coughed so much that she quickly picked up the sea salt water next to her and poured it down: "Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm too hungry, and I'm in a hurry to eat. Yes, I know it's His Majesty. What did you do..."

She randomly opened the crab shell of the blue crab, picked it up and took a sip, barely maintaining a calm look: "I won't talk about this. I want to ask you a question now, do you think it's okay?"

"Please ask."

"The God's birthday celebration will be in two days, and I can't think of what to give him, so I want to ask, is there anything he likes in particular?" Chao Ling looked at her silently, without answering.

Bernice wasn't sure if she understood her, so she changed the phrase: "That is, his hobbies, or something that he would be particularly happy to receive?"

Still silent.

"... Otherwise, it's okay to be a little happy?"

Still silent.

Bernice frowned and asked tentatively, "You mean no?"

"Not really."

"Then why..."

In the middle of her speech, she suddenly stopped, and stared at each other for a long while with the sea wave elf in front of her in silence, and suddenly felt an extreme chill rushing up her spine.

"Forget it...pretend I didn't ask." Bernice said weakly, continuing to lower her head and grab the blue crab in her hand.

Chao Ling looked at her and seemed to want to say something more, but in the end he just disappeared on the water.

After the sound of the turbulent water disappeared, the surroundings became quiet all at once, and the regular sound of waves coming from not far away could be faintly heard.

Bernice lay on the table, looking at those extremely fresh little yellow croakers and other favorite things, she suddenly lost her appetite.

Two days later, the God's Birthday celebration came as scheduled. Except for the Sea Clan, almost all the creatures from the original world came to participate, even including all the angels in the security department.

Bernice came not too early or too late, just the kind of time when she was among a huge school of fish, theoretically speaking, she would not attract anyone's attention at all.

The celebration is at the bottom of the marine ecosystem. For this reason, Chao Ling also deliberately set aside an air channel for land creatures to move freely.

Across the bright halo and countless sea creatures, Bernice saw the young god sitting alone on the steps at a glance.

Because it was a celebration, Thiago didn't wear the white suit he used to wear today, but changed into a very solemn and exquisite and gorgeous costume, with a crown of simple and elegant jewels on his head. The long and smooth platinum hair was lifted up and down by the current, making her look even more slender and magnificent.

only……

Bernice noticed his expression, from the eyebrows to the arc of the light red lips has always been gentle and light, just like the halo of sunlight falling on the waves is so beautiful but also illusory.

For some reason, the expression on the other side reminded her inexplicably of those god statues bathed in the holy light, no matter how lively the posture was, it could not conceal the impersonality inside.

The two opposite temperaments of kindness, gentleness and indifference are so contradictory and harmonious in Thiago.

He looked at the sentient beings, but he didn't seem to pay any attention to any of them, even a little carelessly.

Bernice looked at the other party, inexplicably feeling that he was looking for something.

In the next second, he suddenly looked at her, separated by thousands of creatures, with incredible accuracy.

The author has something to say: I will cheat again! !

In fact, here, Bernice is desperately trying to save Amy, and she is also trying desperately to save her past self.

I think if there is enough time, there should be a kiss scene in the next chapter [Wang Tian]
