How to become a sea witch

Facts have proved that Bernice's guess is right.Even in another world, this young sea god still has not escaped the sad fate of being portrayed as a silly, white and sweet female mermaid.

After thoroughly confirming this point, Bernice closed the colorful fairy tale book back with a serious face, and stared at the pitiful red-haired little mermaid on the cover for two seconds in silence.

Then he lowered his head and buried his face in the palm of his hand, his black hair curled and folded on his legs, his shoulders were trembling unceasingly.

The Cheshire cat lying on the counter at the side stopped using its tail to stir the glass of iced Coke with a straw, and turned to look at her: "Are the current human fairy tales so sensational that they can make demons cry?"

After hearing his words, Rebecca, who was cleaning the goblet at the side, also looked up at Bernice, and then smiled knowingly: "Obviously not."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bernice finally couldn't help lying on the bar counter and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha——I knew it was so! The innocent and beautiful little mermaid who is as innocent as crystal, the daughter of the sea, Hahahahahaha——!"

"It seems that you have finally found something that can make you happy in the new world." Rebecca said as she took out a plate of fresh shellfish sashimi from the cooking cabinet and handed it to her.

As one of the first creatures to come to the New World, Rebecca has already adapted to the life here with ease.Seven years ago, she opened a dense forest bar in this area directly under the rule of angels, specializing in entertaining creatures from the original world.

Bernice guessed that this little girl who always wears a bright red hooded cloak should have a good relationship with the Angel Guard. After all, when she first came here, she discovered that Rebecca and Gabriel were greeting each other. The manner is familiar and easygoing, and she always knows what Gabriel needs before he even asks.

The glass revolving door at the entrance turned half a circle again, and several elves walked in one after another, sat down at the round table in the corner, and ordered a few glasses of green tree juice.

Bernice picked up the soft shellfish on the plate and took a bite, shook the fairy tale book in her hand, and said vaguely: "Although the process of learning these human languages ​​is really painful, but you can see Such a wonderful story is worth a lot.”

"So you're happy?" said the Cheshire Cat, glancing at the book. The whole cat floated like a weightless gray cloud. A row of white teeth.

He and Bernice had been old acquaintances since they were in the original world.At that time, the Cheshire Cat and the March Hare jointly opened a shop for elves and magicians in the country of Macedonia. Bernice often used homemade potions or other submarine specialties to exchange some diamonds, gold coins, and even pottery and enamel. kind of stuff.

She has always only liked those shiny and beautiful things, and because of this, the March Rabbit has suspected that she is not a sea witch at all, but a dragon who can't walk when she sees the luminous objects.

"Otherwise?" She propped her face with her hands, took a sip of the specially adjusted sea salt water in the cup, bit the straw and replied vaguely, "In difficult times, I always have to find some fun to keep me going, this is My biggest motivation."

"Then your preferences are quite special."

"Please, every devil who knows the real situation can't help but laugh. Look at this charming and enchanting curve, the cute and pitiful expression, the big innocent eyes and..."

While talking, Bernice relaxed and leaned back in the chair. Driven by the swivel chair, she slowly turned back, and met Tiago who had been standing there before sometime.

The young man was dressed in a white suit and light blue shirt, his long platinum hair was tied casually, his blue eyes absorbed the halo of confusion from the top of his head, and his edge was as cold and bright as a fresh glacier under the scorching sun, brilliant and sharp.

The moment he met Bernice's eyes, Thiago's eyelashes fluttered slightly, the haze dissipated, and the ice and snow melted into a pool of soft and clear sea water in an instant, filling his sight, and even the pink lips A gentle and shallow smile.

The scene was very embarrassing.

Even if the mermaid in front of her smiled harmlessly, she couldn't suppress the sharp siren that suddenly screamed in Bernice's head—it was the kind of high-energy warning sound that a tornado was about to destroy the parking lot.

For a moment, she seriously thought about whether she should simply bump her head into Tiago's face and die in front of Tiago, and she apologized with all her heart.

However, in the end, he succeeded in surviving in the hands of the previous sea witch, and he has already seen jellyfish in strong winds and waves.

Facing such a scene where the car was already overturned, Bernice quickly regained her composure after her pupils trembled for half a second, and then continued without changing her expression: "...and this flawless and delicate face! What the hell is it? Such a wicked demon can have the heart to hurt such a beautiful creature, it is simply a heinous crime, and he should be arrested and sent to the Death Sin Garden to repent for the rest of his life!"

Gabriel, who came later, stood behind Tiago, watching Bernice, who started to save herself by a werewolf self-destruct, with a calm face. I always felt that from the perspective of parolees and reviewers, Tiago's attitude toward Berice Nisi really indulged too much.

If it was him, Bernice would not know how many times she would have been beaten back to become a demon again.

After seeing who it was, Rebecca was also a little surprised, as if she didn't expect him to come here.But soon, she restrained the expression on her face, turned to salute each other respectfully with the Cheshire cat, and left quickly under the signal of Gabriel's eyes.

Before leaving, the Cheshire Cat smiled very strangely at Bernice.

"It looks like we had a good chat." Tiago looked down at the fairy tale book, and Bernice quickly grabbed it and hid it behind him.

Using the movement of holding the book, she jumped off the high chair and quickly took a step back, lowering her head to avoid contact with the other party's eyes, trying to shrink herself down like a cat to reduce the sense of existence.

A lock of jet-black hair jumped out following her movements, and the slightly curled ends of the hair dangled at the collarbone, and Bernice put her hand behind her ear.

The advantage of having magic power is that you can dispose of some things without anyone noticing.

She clenched the fairy tale book in her hand, and while Gabriel was reporting some latest news about the Sea of ​​Okhotsk to Tiago, the green light that emerged from her hand immediately shattered it into nothingness.

"...So, it has been confirmed that this incident was also caused by creatures from the original world. But we don't have any particularly detailed information about the ghost ship."

Gabriel said: "The Security Office and the Far East Research Center have explored the law and specific conditions of the target's appearance before, and found that it does not seem to be affected by weather and ocean currents, but is related to nearby human activities."

"Continue." Tiago glanced at the plate of sashimi, picked up a piece of shellfish with a bamboo stick and put it into his mouth.

Bernice was stunned, she wanted to remind the other party that she had just bitten half of it and put it on the plate, but unfortunately she didn't have time.

She looked at Thiago's still calm and indifferent face because she didn't know it, pursed her lips, and simply chose to remain silent.

Since it's something that would embarrass everyone if you say it, it's better not to say it after thinking about it.

"We compared the time when the ghost ship appeared, and found that as long as there are large cruise ships of human society sailing in this sea area, it will also appear, while other ships pass by without incident."

"So, it's actually targeting human tourists who are the most vulnerable."

"So far it looks like that."

After listening to Gabriel's report, Thiago nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "I remember that among the mutants caught last time, there was one who stayed in the Far East for local observation. Yeah?"

"That's true. The security department also tried to get some useful information from him, but unfortunately it was not successful."

"Then let's go and have a look." He said, casting his gaze at Bernice, who has always been obedient and quiet, "Does Bernice want to come together? Although the Far East is cold, the scenery over there is quite beautiful." Okay, and there are many rare gadgets that you can't see here, you should like it."

Bernice tilted her head in surprise, not understanding why he still remembered that he had always loved collecting all kinds of bling.

Doesn't it mean that the split memory is incomplete?

Why do you still remember such strange details?

What kind of weird things have you selectively remembered in your mind?

"Come?" he asked.

Bernice blinked and agreed without much hesitation.

After all, no matter what, she now needs to get familiar with this new world from all aspects as quickly as possible.In the past, due to her status as a parolee, she could not leave the research center at will.Now I can have a chance to go out and have a look, and by the way, I can also help to promote my great cause of laundering and running away. Of course it would be great.

Most importantly, she was still a little confused about Thiago's current state, which made her feel extremely hopeless.

"See you tomorrow then."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Thiago hummed, put his hand in the pocket of his straight trousers and walked out. The elves around him who saw him all backed away and bowed their heads to him.

When he was about to go out, he turned around suddenly, his blue pupils against the light were as deep as the sea, and the brilliance was clear: "By the way, your clothes, I will let Chao Ling send them to you in a while, don't worry."

After speaking, he left quickly.

Bernice sat on the swivel chair thinking for a while, and finally asked Gabriel the question in her heart: "So you guys still have this special interest in sharing clothes?"

What's the matter with the inexplicable sense of picture?

Gabriel took a deep breath, gave her a gouging look with pale gold eyes, and said in a cold tone, "Your Majesty is talking to you!"

"Me? I don't need any clothes."

"you will."

……

It was also after arriving in Petropavlovsk that Bernice understood the function of clothes.

It's not because of the low temperature here, things that only affect human senses don't work very well for them, so those thick winter clothes are to make them look more like normal people.

On the morning of departure, Bernice waited on the shore early in the morning.

There were almost no pedestrians on the coastal avenue in the twilight of morning, only a few gray-blue seabirds stayed on the street lamps and stone railings, and then they were scared away by the movement from the water, and got into the foggy sky, facing The pale golden-orange morning light flew farther and farther away.

Bernice surfaced from the bottom of the shallow sea ecological zone, and flicked her drenched long hair behind her. The transparent water droplets immediately sprinkled an arc-shaped water mark on the reef, and her black hair was loose in the breeze, soft and dry.

She ran across the piece of land full of gravel and fine sand to the front of the protective fence, propped it up with one hand, lightly crossed the obstacles, and sat firmly on the square railing, the clothes on her body were not wet at all.

Before going ashore, she had already had breakfast - a can of fresh small fish, so now she just nibbled a piece of seaweed in her mouth as a snack, while playing with the messenger seashell that she took out of her pocket, a red-mouthed seashell Seabirds flew along the wind and landed on the toes of her unmoving shoes.

"It's time to go, 0331." Gabriel's voice suddenly came from behind.

Bernice straightened her body, saw him standing under the streetlight at some point, and tilted her head: "You lead the way?"

He nodded symbolically as an answer, but he heard her then say in a rather pleasant tone: "That's good. I wanted to try it a long time ago, whether it is you angels flying fast or us sea swimmers." Hurry up, I can finally find out today."

"you……"

Realizing that the other party must have misunderstood the mode of transportation they were going to use for this trip, Gabriel had just uttered a monosyllable that he wanted to stop, when he saw Bernice let go and was about to jump down.

Almost at the same moment, she suddenly felt that someone stretched out an arm around her waist from behind, held her wrist, and hugged her back from the fall.

The red-billed seabird resting on the tip of her shoe was frightened, and flew past her with fluttering wings, and its tail feathers brushed against the rising sun in the distance.

The act of being too intimate made Bernice's scalp tingle, and she instinctively wanted to struggle, but was dazzled by the sun's rays breaking through the clouds, so she could only obey the other party's movements and stand still on the stone railing.

"Forgot to tell you, we have to use the human way to pass this time, there are people waiting for us over there." Thiago said, quickly let go of his hand, and handed her passport and ID card instead, "your."

She took it over and looked at it, looked up, with a little surprise in her eyes: "I thought that this kind of illegal and counterfeiting business was only done by me, but it turns out that everyone is very skilled. It's great, I feel a lot closer to you all of a sudden. "

Gabriel stood aside and cleared his throat very deliberately.

Thiago didn't react at all, he only pulled the corner of his mouth, and smiled warmly: "It seems that it is useful to get to know each other, isn't it? At least it can eliminate many unnecessary misunderstandings."

I don't know if it was Bernice's illusion, but she always felt that Thiago's words seemed to have other meanings.

However, before she could think about it, time did not allow them to delay any longer, and they had to rush to the airport immediately.

Regarding the matter of being able to fly into the sky by getting into the belly of a giant iron bird suffering from double-wing petrification, even though she had already prepared herself, Bernice still found it extremely inconceivable.She spent most of the voyage staring out the window.

It happened to be in the evening when it landed, and the sky was filled with twilight light, and the place where the sea and sky meet seemed to be on fire, and it was magnificent and magnificent as far as the eye could see.

In Petropavlovsk in June, the temperature is still around ten degrees Celsius.

They were greeted at the airport by an angel stationed in the Far East Branch and a penguin who had just learned how to transform into a human.

In addition, there is a human male, who is also the sheriff here, Maxim Sidorov.

He looked to be about 50 years old, wearing a thick military overcoat with a police badge, a cigarette in his mouth, and he looked burly and dignified.

It seemed that he had just arrived from the seaside, and Sidorov still had the obvious smell of cold sea water and tobacco. There were still thin ice flakes on the tip of his slightly gray hair, and his lips were a little cracked due to dryness. His cheeks were flushed by the cold wind.

Seeing them coming, Sidorov immediately stepped out of the police car, stomped out the half-burned smoke, and knelt down in a pious and respectful manner: "Your Majesty, Archangel."

This was somewhat beyond Bernice's expectations. She originally thought that their identities should be kept absolutely secret from the humans here.

However, soon, she suddenly realized that this human looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, and it seemed that it was not a native human in this world, but came from the time and space behind the latitude hole just like them.

"Is the leg injury better last time?" Thiago slightly raised his hand to signal him to stand up, and at the same time noticed that his right leg was still a little weak.

"It's much better, thank you for your concern." He said, looking up at Bernice, who was at the side, and suddenly froze, "Sea...sea witch?"

It seems that the person I have seen is right.

Bernice tried to give him a friendly smile, and at the same time prayed that she would not be any enemy who had been deceived by her before: "Would you like a bottle of broken potion? I'm pretty good at this, I guarantee that a bottle will work." , can run and jump."

Well, after listening to her words, the other party's expression became even weirder.

Thiago obviously noticed this too, so he just looked at Bernice in a puzzled manner, and then changed the topic: "Where is the mutation that was caught and left behind for observation last time?"

"Still locked in the monitoring center." Sidorov replied, still couldn't help looking at Bernice cautiously, with mixed surprises.

"What about the victims whose bodies have been found?"

"In the hospital, but they have already got copies of their autopsy reports." The angel on the side replied.

"And... there are also some videos about the accident." The little penguin followed and reported in a daze, "Some of them have been circulated on the human network in the early... period, but, but the impact it caused It's all within our control."

"Then go to the monitoring center first."

"Yes."
