How to become a sea witch

This is the first time Bernice has seen the totem of the sea god, but she always feels that no matter from which angle she looks at it, the pattern in front of her looks very much like a blooming rose.

Those smooth and simple spray lines swirled on the flag, engraved in each suspended and shiny bubble, like clusters of roses blooming in the sea, enchantingly filled every inch of sight.

Recalling the details of the previous wedding arrangements, I suddenly wondered if Thiago really liked roses, otherwise, how could he make his god totems look so close to roses.

In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Bernice chose a place relatively far away from other sea people, but very close to the air channel specially built for angels and other land creatures to stay alone, and even nested herself in the coral Clumps and their wide skirts filled with mushrooms.

But even so, the other sea tribes still kept away from her spontaneously. They would rather huddle together with their companions than move a little closer to Bernice’s direction. They even sneaked a few glances at her from time to time, as if Very vigilant and defensive.

Bernice has long been accustomed to this, and she only silently remembered the deep sea eternal flower she received when she first came to the new world, which was also a bright red rose.

She suddenly felt a little confused, why did Thiago like this kind of flower so much?

And...his liking,? It should...have nothing to do with me, right?

After all, she is not a fan of roses, so he should simply love this colorful deciduous shrub of the Rosaceae family, right? It must be so.

Thinking of this, Bernice suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. At the same time, she secretly prayed that this celebration would not be too long. Otherwise, she really couldn't guarantee that if she suddenly became hungry, she would not slip away halfway to hunt .

The ceremony officially begins when the sun's glow penetrates the seawater and shrouds the altar on the steps directly above, and the entire underwater world has never been brighter.All the sea tribes, angels, elves, goblins, and humans from the original world gathered here knelt down to salute the blond boy on the altar with a pious and humble attitude.

Bernice secretly raised her head in the midst of the congratulations and praises of various languages, and her eyes accidentally collided with Thiago, and she saw that he seemed to be looking at her, and the smile on her face was slightly different from the expression just now. A kind of pure and true tenderness.

She froze for a moment, forced the corners of her mouth to respond, and then lowered her head.

For ordinary beings, the most anticipated part of the God's Birthday celebration is the prayer for the gods.Every creature with loyal belief and ardent hope for the supreme god may be chosen by the god at the ceremony, and then one of his wishes will come true.

It's just that compared to the huge number of creatures in the entire ceremony, the probability of being lucky enough to be selected is simply negligible.

Therefore, when the whole celebration was pushed to a climax due to praying and praying, Bernice instead focused her attention on the sea layer above her head, watching those meteors dragging their long tails with eyes full of water. The radiant halo scattered and the floating bubbles swam around.

Occasionally, she would see the familiar figure who sat quietly on the altar from the beginning to the end through the layers of Hai Clan figures in front of her, and inexplicably felt the gentle expression on his face that seemed extremely peaceful. , more like a state of distraction, as if all the hustle and bustle around him had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Silvedu's voice suddenly came from the air passage above, and was blurred by the water flow: "Speaking of which, what is Bernice's wish?"

"I?"

Probably because she didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to talk to her in this situation, Bernice was stunned for a moment, and then she said a series of words like "get rich in situ", "get rid of the curse" and "restore freedom" "Swallowed all the answers like that, and then shook his head: "My words... Actually, I don't want anything for the time being, what about you?"

"Why?" Silvedu didn't answer her question immediately, but blinked in surprise, and looked at her through the layers of turbulent air, "This is a celebration of God's birthday, and any wish that doesn't violate the law is guaranteed." The opportunity was realized."

Bernice pondered her words, and replied cautiously: "It is true. Therefore, such an opportunity is also rare. I don't think I have such good luck."

After finishing speaking, she re-examined her answer. She could not only imply that she did not harbor any evil wishes that violated the law, but also show her friendly and humble attitude, which was perfect.

Silvedu laughed happily after hearing this. The mottled and brilliant water rippled on her face, which made Bernice somewhat unable to see her real expression clearly. She could only feel the lightness and tenderness in her voice. Slippery and lively: "Everyone's luck is not always the same, Bernice."

Maybe, but for a demon like her who is always getting worse, it's better not to be.

"However, as far as I know, they will always come to the creatures favored by the gods, that's for sure."

I don't know if it's her own illusion, but Bernice always feels that the other party's words are implying something extraordinary.

She looked at Silvedu, and then looked aside. After meeting her sight, she nodded to her as a greeting to Gabriel and the other high-ranking angels. Suddenly, she felt a bad omen coming, and she couldn't help herself Squeeze as hard as you can into the coral formation.

Soon, countless naked sea butterflies with silver-blue brilliance spread out from the center of the altar in all directions.This kind of planktonic mollusk that usually only inhabits the deep cold seas of the polar regions is completely transparent, and can have a strong adaptability with only a small amount of divine power. It is also the messenger who has always been responsible for selecting the recipients of the gods.

The naked sea butterflies fluttered out continuously, but only one truly brought the blessing of the gods.

It hovered in the sea water, cruising back and forth to find the only suitable candidate, passed through countless sea tribes of the same kind and eager expressions with incomparable lightness, bypassed the elves and angels who also had pious expectations, and finally landed on a mushroom that was shrinking into a mushroom It looked like it was still in front of Bernice who skillfully caught krill from the crevices of the coral and ate it as a snack.

Bernice pinched the krill in her hand and before she could bite it, she felt that the sea area, which was so lively just now, immediately became deadly quiet, followed by countless whispering voices:

"What's going on? Why did you choose a demon like a sea witch?"

"Did she cheat?"

"It must be like this, otherwise how could the gods fall into the hands of a demon inexplicably?"

"But Naked Sea Butterfly is the messenger of God under the crown of Sea God, how could it be easily influenced by demons?"

"That's not necessarily true, you still don't know how the sea witch was imprisoned in the Fallen Sin Garden..."

Listening to the extremely dissatisfied murmurs of the surrounding sea tribes, Bernice finally came back to her senses, and at the same time, she was convinced that the naked sea butterfly with the god's favor really chose her, not because she was blocked. stop.

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond better, countless thoughts whizzed through her mind, and finally she could only stare at the naked sea butterfly in front of her...

Ah, it has no eyes, and the two moving things on its head are just tentacles.It can even be seen through that layer of transparent epidermis, and there is no thinking organ like a brain inside.

No wonder.

Thinking of this, Bernice quickly swallowed the few krills in her mouth, and at the same time felt that Thiago should really choose a divine messenger with sound facial features and a brain.

Of course……

She blinked, and saw Silvedu, who seemed not surprised by this completely weird result, and who was the first to applaud with a smile, suddenly felt like she had solved the case.

Combining what she just said, Bernice has reason to suspect that the naked sea butterfly was attracted by Silvedu to tease her.

but……

"Bernice."

Thiago called her.

Immediately afterwards, the surging water lifted Bernice up from the coral clump, and swam all the way to the blond-haired mermaid surrounded by stars on the altar. Under her feet was a huge sea god totem. The center of a blooming rose.

It's not like Bernice didn't think she would stand up to such a position.

But in her imagination, that must be the moment when she was caught by the mermaid tribe and was about to be executed.

Instead of standing in front of this young sea god who was newly crowned only a few decades ago, looking at each other blankly, the distance between them is so close that they can be completely separated by the other party with the current. His long platinum hair was wrapped in it, in an almost intimate gesture.

Those colors, which are clearer and more pure than the sunlight above her head, touch the skin with the sea water, and the feeling they bring is subtle but clear, which makes her tremble a little.

Even if you want to make a wish, you don't have to stand so close.

Bernice hesitated, and was about to step back for a suitable distance, but heard Thiago telling her not to move.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand to grab a entangled krill from Bernice's hair and let it go. His fingertips brushed against her ear. The smile on his face looked gentle and easygoing, as if nothing had happened just now. Happened: "Okay. You can say what you want, anything."

desire……

Any desire not to violate the rules.

It's really interesting, since I was a child, it seems that even my mother has never asked her wishes so tenderly, but the mermaid who has a grudge against her in front of her has done so.

Bernice raised her head, her expression still full of bewilderment, and she suddenly wanted to ask, what if she said she hoped to be able to lift the curse of the sea witch's blood on her body?

Will he agree too?

Most importantly, based on her years of experience, this kind of pie in the sky is not a good thing at first glance!Or……

"In two days it will be the God's Birthday Celebration, and I really can't think of anything to give him, so I want to ask, is there anything he particularly likes?"

Chao Ling looked at her silently.

"That is to say, his hobbies, or something that makes him very happy to receive it?"

Chao Ling still looked at her silently.

The sudden reappearance of yesterday made Bernice a little dazed. While hesitating, some sea tribes around who had finally recovered their gods began to ask Tiago to take back this blessing from the gods. Their words and demeanor were full of undisguised contempt and hatred. .

"Your Majesty, the sea witch once wanted to kill you. She is the common enemy of all the sea people. Such a demon is not worthy of the favor you bestowed upon me. Please take it back, Your Majesty the Sea God."

"This must be the work of the sea witch! She knows that if you get the favor of the gods, you can make your wish come true, so she tricked her into being chosen by the naked sea butterfly! You must not promise her!"

So in their eyes, is he already strong enough to take away the favor of the gods at will?Bernice looked dully at the angry sea people around her, wondering if she should be happy.

"She did this to snatch the heart of the ocean!"

"That's right, she's a devil! The devil should be executed, let her go to hell, and she can't be favored by the gods!"

"Send her to hell!"

"Kill her!"

For a time, not only the Sea Clan, but even many elves and humans shouted angrily to kill this demon who deliberately robbed the gods, and all kinds of vicious curses, anger and resentment were concentrated on Bernice. .

Rebecca was a little surprised by everything in front of her, but quickly reacted and tried to explain to the people around her: "Actually, Bernice is not what you think, I know her..."

Before she finished speaking, the goblin who was furious jumped up and roared at her immediately, the spikes on his body stood up like a hedgehog: "You actually speak for a demon who has committed the crime of killing gods! You are not a good thing !"

"I'm just telling the truth, Bernice is indeed not what you said..." Rebecca argued vigorously, and was soon surrounded by other vicious goblins.

The elves have a relatively haughty and gentle character, they disdain to conflict with an ordinary human being, but they also look in her direction with unkind expressions, as if they have already determined that she is the alien traitor who was with Bernice.

"you……"

Rebecca took a step back, and suddenly felt a little breeze blowing from behind, and then, the snow-white six wings that should have belonged to Seraphim suddenly spread out behind her.

She turned her head and saw Gabriel standing behind her at some point, looking at the menacing goblins expressionlessly, her tone was like snow and ice flying in the middle of winter, revealing a kind of clean and straightforward coldness: " Any living beings who disturb the celebration of the birthday of the gods shall be executed on the spot."

While speaking, Chao Ling, who was quietly guarding the side, also quickly swam out, and together with many other guards who lined up at the same time, guarded loyally and fearlessly under the altar.

In just a few moments, things turned out completely beyond Bernice's expectations—or rather, as she had feared in the first place, though for a completely different reason.

She turned her head quickly, and was about to suggest to Thiago to take back the divine favor directly, and let her leave the celebration by the way, which would be good for everyone.

Unexpectedly, Thiago didn't seem to feel that the situation at this moment needed to be eased immediately. Instead, he turned slightly and looked at the countless angry sea creatures in front of him again. They were all calm and steady: "Then, who should have the final say on the ownership of the gods?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bernice suddenly trembled slightly.It's not because of anything else, it just feels like the water temperature of the entire ocean has dropped a lot in an instant, and the water pressure has also increased significantly, and even breathing is more laborious than before.

A thin layer of frost covered the surrounding air passages, and everything in sight was blurred to an uncomfortably pale.In the depths of the distant waters, sunlight was squeezed out of the underwater space, and heavy shadows fell heavily, burying the emotions of all living beings, and it was so quiet that one could clearly hear the sound of water slowly passing by.

"Why don't you talk anymore? Aren't you going to discuss who this god should give to? Why don't you continue?" Thiago said lightly, watching the countless people under the altar crowding each other out of fear or confusion, crawling on the bottom of the water The trembling Sea Clan did not dare to speak out, their tone was not much warmer than the temperature of the sea water at this time, but even colder.

"God's family is the generosity and gift of the Supreme God to all living beings, and only the Supreme God's own will can determine the belonging of the God's family."

As Silvadu said, he quickly knelt down on one knee with the other angels, and the pale gold dress flowed like blooming flowers, inheriting the summer radiance that shone from the top of his head but had already begun to fade: "Glory bless all things." , The sea nurtures all living beings. With this life faith as a pledge, I would like to give up the decayed form, turn it into brilliance, melt into the waves, and follow the crown forever."

The syllable of the last word has not been completely eliminated in the sea water, and the other creatures around have already knelt down and prayed with Silvedu, shouting the same oath loudly, and the attitude was so fanatical that Bernice felt a little creepy: "In order Believe in this life as an oath, willing to abandon the decayed form, turn into brilliance, melt into the waves, and follow the crown forever!"

She stayed for half a second, following the principle of "run if you can't fight, and join directly if you can't run", she was about to kneel down and salute to the mermaid beside her, but she was held by the mermaid.

"You don't need this." Thiago said, "Before, now, and from now on, you don't need it."

Bernice stared blankly at the other party, and managed to find her voice after a while: "But the gods..."

"I did it voluntarily, it's not your problem." He replied, his tone was understated, and he couldn't read much clear emotion, but it made people feel a little shaky for no reason,

voluntary.

So, it wasn't a coincidence that the naked sea butterfly chose her?

Bernice looked at her wrist held by him in disbelief, recalling what Silvedu said just now.

The favor of the gods will always come to the creatures that are favored by the gods.

preferred...

This word terrified her, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. After being noticed by the other party, she hesitated for a moment and obediently let her go.

"I...I don't have any wishes to fulfill." Bernice heard herself say to Tiago with a stiff voice, "I think I'm fine now, thank you, Your Majesty. This god, you still Give it to other creatures."

After speaking, Bernice almost left the bottom of the sea as if fleeing for her life.

It would be extremely rude to do so, of course she understood that.But in this situation, she really didn't know what to do except run away.

Anyway, she was already carrying the label of a vicious sea witch, and the shameful but extremely useful trick of running away was simply useless.

With this self-comforting idea in mind, Bernice wandered aimlessly in the city alone.During this period, she tried to slowly figure out what kind of situation she was in now.

However, as soon as the plot related to Thiago is involved, all logic chains will automatically collapse, and then fall into a completely unsolvable endless loop.

Standing at the corner of the street where people were coming and going, Bernice didn't go any further, but just stared blankly at the traffic lights in front of her, and the question that she had avoided many times intentionally or unintentionally appeared in her mind again.

Of course she knew how unrealistic her question was, but Thiago's attitude was even more puzzling than the question itself.

Why do you want to give yourself something like God's favor so voluntarily?Isn't he afraid of making some messy demands of his own?

Or... is he just testing his attitude?

Bernice felt a little guilty, and felt that this explanation could convince herself in the past, but thinking about it now is a bit too pale.

Because Thiago doesn't have to do this at all.

If he wants to get revenge on himself, he has many ways instead of making things the way they are.

What the hell is he thinking?

Or,

He looks, in a way, maybe true...

Don't know which word to use to define this attitude, liking, or a deeper level of...

Bernice shook her head, throwing the unformed vocabulary out of her mind. It is deep, it is superficial, it is loyal, it is fickle.A word that would feel scary just thinking about it, let alone putting it together with Thiago and his own name.

She shook hands, feeling a layer of sticky wetness between her palms.

This is impossible, absolutely impossible.

Even if she recalled their past, she could easily understand this point. She had no reason to believe that such weird feelings could happen in reality, which was even more unreliable than human fairy tales.

"It won't be like this, definitely not..." Bernice bit her fingernails subconsciously, her light green eyes filled with confusion and anxiety, she kept muttering to herself, "This kind of thing can't happen , there is no reason why it should be so, no, no..."

"Little girl, are you okay?" A passing old lady looked at her hesitantly, as if she felt that the girl in front of her looked in a bad state, her face was pale and she was talking to herself, it seemed like some kind of addiction/disorder The strange appearance after the attack.

"You look like you need some help, want me to connect you with your family and friends?" she asked.

"No... no, thank you." After Bernice finished speaking, she hurried across the road with the crowd in front of her.

She circled the city for most of the day, and didn't stop until the increasingly clear hunger began to remind her that she needed to hunt.

Looking at the endless blue sea outside the guardrail, Bernice fell into the extreme entanglement of "eat or die" again.

After going through a series of repeated struggles and hesitation, she finally chose to succumb to the food, and locked herself in the reef hut after hunting, holding out the beautiful things she collected over and over again Look through.

As she looked down, an icy blue smooth fish scale came into Bernice's eyes.She looked at it for a while, then reached out to pick it up, and a gorgeous rainbow immediately appeared in the dim room, illuminating the entire underwater field of vision slightly.

I don't know how the God's Birthday celebration is going now?

Bernice was thinking silently, and was about to take back the fish scales, when there was a steady knock on the door.

She put away her things, swam to open the door, and was not surprised to see Thiago waiting outside.

He looked like he had just left the ceremony, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes. He was still dressed in that solemn and gorgeous dress, which seemed to have a sense of distance from everything here, but the expression on his face was gentle and light The: "I'm sorry to make you unhappy today."

"Ah?" Bernice didn't expect his first sentence to be an apology to herself, so she quickly shook her head, "No, it's nothing at all, I'm not unhappy, really. On the contrary, it's because I went that I let you The celebration was a bit unpleasant, so I should be the one to apologize.

sorry. "

"No need." He shook his head slightly, with a calm attitude, "I'm already very happy that you can come. As for the excitement of those celebrations, it's just for them to see."

After finishing speaking, Thiago stretched out his hand and handed her the naked sea butterfly with the god's favor: "Your."

Looking at Bernice with obvious hesitation, Thiago continued to add: "As I said, I did it voluntarily."

Volunteer.

This word, which Bernice liked to hear the most during the transaction, always made her feel extremely flustered when it came out of Tiago's mouth.She looked at the transparent and beautiful naked sea butterfly, raised her hand tentatively to take it, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the light prohibition brand on her arm, and suddenly she had a thought.

If I asked him to remove this restriction, would he agree?

You must know that she is still a parole in the Fallen Sin Garden, and she has no right to use high-level magic power. In theory, she is even at risk of being sent back to prison at any time.

This brand mark is proof, a reminder that she is still wearing a sinful body, and it is also a declaration that no matter where she escapes, she will be easily found by the guards.

Therefore, according to normal logic, it is impossible for her to remove this restriction in advance.

unless……

"Any, any wish is okay?" She lowered her head, not daring to look at the other party, for fear of being seen by him to be tempted with ulterior motives.

This attempt was too risky, and Bernice wasn't sure if she really wanted to do it, but she couldn't stop because of the courage she had raised her head too much, or the panic that had accumulated for too long.

"Of course. As long as you say it." Thiago looked at her and replied with the same tone.

This was the first time that Bernice showed such obvious nervousness and hesitation in front of him, and she didn't know why she was thinking about something that made her so uneasy.

Maybe trying to escape?

Tiago looked at her silently, taking in the stiff arcs of her fingers, the quick flickering of her drooping eyelashes from time to time, the movements of pursing her lips and then releasing them, every subtle and unconscious reaction was captured in her eyes .

She didn't really want to make a wish, but just under her own eyes, she desperately wanted to test something, or even escape.Her eyes were so surreptitiously scrutinizing everything around her, trying to know if he had a purpose in discovering her.

"Bernice, you can tell."

"I……"

Bernice raised her head, there was no real look in her green eyes, they were all hypocritical piety: "I beg you to help me release the light restraint on my body."

Just a short sentence, without any of the many explanations and beautiful words that she would have in her usual state.

Thiago looked at her, the corners of his blushing mouth slightly raised, and his smile was gentle: "If this is what you really want, I will."

As he spoke, he held out his hand to Bernice: "Then, please give me your hand."

"Eh?" Bernice looked at him in disbelief, not only did not follow his words, but she couldn't help but shrink back a little, "Don't you ask me why? Or tell me that such a request is against the rules ..."

"I said, if this is what you really want, I will make it come true." Thiago grabbed her hand and held it in his palm. It is forbidden to erase.

"As for whether it's in compliance with the rules, I think it's up to me to decide."

After he finished speaking, the mark on Bernice's arm disappeared completely.

Looking at her smooth and clean arm skin, Bernice was stunned for a while, and stretched out her hand in disbelief to touch it back and forth several times before finally confirming.

This prohibition really disappeared.

Even if she wanted Thiago to have enough reasons to refuse, she deliberately didn't explain why she wanted to do this, and even reminded him of the risk of rashly agreeing.

But he still did.

Bernice raised her head and saw that the other party was also staring at herself, feeling her heart start to vibrate crazily after stopping for a moment.The place that has been sticking to resistance and denial is gradually collapsing with this irregular beating.

It was like after the death of a glacier, it fell into the sea and caused a thousand layers of huge waves, destroying everything around it in an instant.

What are you afraid of?

Lambert's words sounded without warning, asking her over and over again.

Because you found out he was serious?

He is serious about you.

he likes, or rather,

Love you.

he loves you.

How absurd and unrealistic.

Bernice was so oppressed by this clear thought that could not be ignored that she couldn't remember how she said goodbye to Thiago, then closed the door and went back to the house, curled up on the bed and remained motionless until the whole bottom of the water became pitch black.

Time has probably passed for a long time, but it seems to be just a few short breaths.

After the initial shock and stupor subsided, an extremely strong impulse surged into Bernice's heart, quickly occupying all her thoughts.

She wants to escape from here.

Just like fleeing the ocean because of the crime of killing gods.

Anyway... the light restriction that can easily track her has disappeared, and here is a new world. They must cover up their identities in the security department so that they will not be discovered by humans. If they want to arrest her on a large scale, they will become quite difficult.

So, if you want to escape, now is the best time.Otherwise, when Gabriel and the others find that the restraint on her has disappeared, maybe they will replace it with other magic spells, and she will lose the chance to leave forever.

Thinking of this, Bernice jumped out of bed almost immediately, quickly dug out a few bottles of commonly used potions that she had brewed before from the cabinet, and poured out all the collections in the box.

Except for those things Tiago gave her, everything else can be taken away.

That's it, she thought.Even if the blood curse on her body cannot be lifted, and she is destined to be alienated into a monster in the future, she doesn't care anymore, she must leave here.

Immediately, immediately, I can't wait for a day!

Thinking of this, Bernice quickly stuffed all the things she had organized into the sharkskin pockets one by one, then fastened the pockets and carried them on her back, taking advantage of the darkness of the night to swim out of the water, planning to do whatever it takes tonight. I have to go out of the city first at night.

Fortunately, this human city is not too big. According to her vision, it shouldn't be difficult.

But what Bernice didn't expect was that just as she carefully walked around the back door of the observation center and turned into the narrow alley lined with sycamore trees on both sides, she stepped on a hard and brittle thing.

The clear cracking sound pierced into her hearing, and Bernice couldn't help her heart skip a beat. She looked down and saw the cracked ice and bright red flowers all over the ground.

It looks like a rose.

A bright red flower blooming in full bloom, after being crushed, the thick purple juice immediately dyed the original pure white and flawless frost, which looked strange and indescribable.

Before this, Bernice had never felt that a flower could be so scary, causing her to back away almost as soon as she saw it clearly, and at the same time subconsciously turned to the direction of the back door she just passed.

The door opened, and Thiago in a white suit slowly came out of the shadows. Translucent frost continued to invade from around him, swallowing the hot and humid summer night, and asked expressionlessly: " It's so late, where are you going?"

"I……"

She stared at the young man in front of her in amazement, her mind was completely blank for a moment, and she couldn't think of anything at all, until she was forced back to the point of nowhere by the other party before she finally came back to her senses and saw him close at hand There was nothing gentle and friendly in the past on her face, and even the arc of light falling on the golden hair was sharp and cold.

Like the fear of being wounded by a poisonous snake in the throat.

Tiago pinched and raised Bernice's chin with one hand, forcing her to raise her head and look at him. The tips of her noses were almost touching, and even her breathing overlapped.

She could clearly smell the familiar smell of fresh sea water on the other person, feel more and more frost spreading and growing around him, and saw the light of the street lamp shining behind him, and the thick shadow came round, cutting off all the warmth bright.

"Where are you going?" He repeated without much question, his attitude was indifferent, and the force on his fingers was so strong that Bernice wondered if he was going to strangle himself to death like this.

In extreme fear, Bernice began to struggle desperately to break free, but the other party easily grabbed her wrist to remove the magic power that was gathering.

Thiago looked at her hands with lowered eyelashes, and laughed: "You want to kill me again?"

Bernice was startled, and then heard him say to himself in confusion: "Am I just annoying you like that? No matter what I do for you, or how much I do, you just want to stay away from me yes, isn't it?"

"No..." She shook her head halfway, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't intend to kill you."

"But you want to go." He looked down at Bernice, the clear blue of the iris and the deep black of the pupils almost merged together, it was dull and bottomless.

"What's the difference between that and killing me?"

"You..." Bernice opened her mouth with difficulty, trembling as she tried to organize the words that had become so chaotic, "This is not the same thing at all, don't be like this..."

"Not the same thing?"

He repeated it indifferently, as if to him, every syllable of this sentence was a piece of red-hot iron, just holding it in his mouth was enough to cause bloody pain, and he was forced to swallow it back Pharynx, tearing open more invisible wounds, suppressing all silent screams.

"Indeed, it's certainly not the same thing to you."

"That's why you lied to me to help you untie the restriction, so that you can leave me forever, isn't it?" Thiago said here, suddenly seemed to be stung by some past memory, and his already unstable emotions Immediately became more out of control, "You have been lying to me, before, and now!"

"No matter what I do, no matter how long I wait, no matter what I say, you won't believe it."

"You never thought about trying to trust me in the past. To you, I'm just something you can throw away after you use it up, right?"

Bernice was dazzled by his series of questions, she could only instinctively shake her head and deny: "No, don't do that, I really haven't thought about it..."

"No?" He stretched out his hand to touch her face, his eyes were a little pathologically empty, like a collapse after concentrating to the extreme, "but I don't really mind you doing this, just use it if you use it, at least I can still There is an excuse to keep you."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed his attitude again, restraining the out-of-control and madness just now, and the expression on his face became gentle and humble again, as if he was the usual handsome Sea God again.

Bernice stared at him with wide eyes, as if she saw a schizophrenic patient who had no cure, she couldn't help but her knees were weak and her whole body trembled.

"You still haven't got the one thing you want the most." Thiago
