How to become a sea witch

I can't tell whether it was the content of the dream, or the roar caused by the rushing water, which made Bernice almost crawl out of the water grass ball, and fell to the ground, with a dazed and shocked face. .

Why would I have such a crazy dream?And it's so clear that it's like a real experience, even all the details...

Wait,? Details?

She suddenly stopped breaking down and rubbing her face. A series of weird images that would not pass the trial even if they were mosaic began to whizzed back and forth in her mind, which made her realize a problem. I was so stimulated last night that I dreamed it inexplicably,? Or is it true...

Bernice shuddered a little at the thought, and didn't even have time to pay attention to the continuous sound of the conch siren coming from a distance.

She remembered the beginning of the whole dream, it seemed that Ursula was about to be completely alienated by the magic power of the sea witch.Later... until she seemed to lose control due to a magic riot, and began to massacre the demons entrenched around the sea witch's lair, those things did happen in the past, from her own memory.

But from a waking state, Bernice neither remembered that she had killed those demons, nor did she remember that Thiago had come to find herself in the sea witch's lair.

There is absolutely nothing related to it in her impression,? No matter how she recalls, it is just a blank.

If it was said that she dreamed of killing those demons who bullied her, it was because she still held resentment towards them.Then...how should I explain it later?

Before she could figure out why she was stunned on the ground, there was a regular knock on the door, followed by Chao Ling's signature polite voice: "Miss Haiwu, are you there?"

"Ah, yes." Bernice quickly adjusted her posture, swam to the door and opened it, and saw that the light outside was almost as dim as the inside, and even Chao Ling's body was a little blurry and dark, it looked like A ghostly afterimage that will disappear in the water at any time.

"Good morning, Miss Sea Witch." As she spoke, she saluted the black-haired girl in front of her in a rather formal but smooth and natural way, "Your Majesty asked me to bring you some food."

As she said that, she handed the crystal pot in her hand to the other party, and then added: "Your Majesty also said that due to the weather changes in the past two days, there will be continuous storm surges, so the bottom of the shallow water area will also be affected. A certain degree of impact. Especially where you live at the edge of the ecological circle, you may feel more turmoil. If you need, I can arrange a new residence for you."

Without asking where the so-called new residence is, Bernice shook her head without even thinking about it, and replied: "Thank you for your kindness. But I think, I'd better live here and don't bother. "

Chao Ling didn't seem surprised by her answer, and didn't try to persuade her any more. She simply reminded her of the series of impacts the storm surge might have on the submarine buildings and then left.

Sensing the increasingly powerful impact of the eddy around her, as well as the sharp sound of conch shells and the roar of sea water coming from a distance, Bernice sincerely felt that the scale of this storm surge is probably not small, and probably the entire human city would be affected. .

She held down her loose black hair that was lifted up by the current and swam towards the surface of the sea.The light is dim and near none, and there are fine sea sand lifted up by the turbulent sea water and the remains of various small shellfish or aquatic plants, and a clear smell of fishy decay permeates the tip of the nose.

The further upstream, the more Bernice felt that she was walking through a boundless chaos.The light faded away, and everything around collapsed into sticky black.

After leaving the ocean, she found that conditions on shore were not much better than underwater.Although the Aquarium Observation Center and the Meteorological Bureau have already jointly released the warning information of the approaching storm surge, there are still many people gathered on the shore, and most of them even came here to take pictures or video.

Sure enough, human beings are a kind of magical species, Bernice thought silently in her heart while running towards the observation center against the storm that was coming from her head.Not only are some of them not afraid of the imminent danger, but they deliberately approach it, just to satisfy their curiosity and pursuit of excitement.

Just like goblins, as long as they get angry, no matter who the opponent is, whether they can beat them or not, they will rush forward first and smash them to death.

Pushing open the glass door of the observation center and hiding in, Bernice quickly used magic power to disperse all the moisture from her body.

The heavy rain was held hostage by the wind, and it shattered violently on the glass of the building, scattered into many transparent and shimmering streams of water, and the howling wind was still clear even through the wall, as sharp as the collective wailing of countless animals .

Probably because of the storm surge, she found that the entire first floor of the hall was empty, and there was no sea clan.

But that's fine, they've been hiding on the bottom of the sea for the past few days, so they can stay in the observation center.I hope that I can change my dream in a different place, no matter what kind of dream, as long as it is not like last night.

She thought with great guilt, the moment she pushed open the door of the room, the dazzling light from the crystal ball that had been in charge of monitoring several latitude cavities immediately flooded in.

This is the first time it has caught an anomaly in months.

Bernice was stunned for a moment, and ran to the crystal ball without even caring about the food in her hand.The light green magic power is condensed in the hand, and it is pulled by the bright light and spreads out, clearly showing the situation in the nearby sea area.

However, what surprised her was that even though all the pictures looked normal, the strange fluctuations that came from nowhere continued, and there was even a tendency to become more and more intense.

Bernice frowned and stared at the many pictures in front of her. The devil's excellent sensory and cognitive abilities allowed her to take care of all the places that needed attention without much effort.After thinking quickly for a moment, she concentrated the monitoring range of the crystal ball and focused on the place with the strongest fluctuation.

The sea water calmed down, and the sound of the wind flowing high in the sky was also blocked. The birds stopped on the treetops in the distance, and only a vague breathing sound gradually sounded, as if it was coming from another dimension. .

She was suddenly a little puzzled, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

You must know that no living beings can stay in the latitude void for a long time. This is common sense, and the extremely distorted space and external forces will tear them into pieces.So in theory, it is impossible for this kind of breathing sound like a living thing to exist in the latitude hole.

But no matter how carefully she identified it, it sounded like the sound of something breathing regularly, and it sounded distant and long, as if it was in a deep sleep.

Knowing that if the monitoring range is narrowed down, there will be a lot of interference from the latitude hole itself, so the test effect will not be very good, after all, Bernice has tried many times before.So this time, when she drove the crystal ball towards the cavity itself for further precise observation, she didn't hold out much hope for any new developments.

Unexpectedly, the expected strong interference did not appear, and was replaced by a clearer breathing sound of living creatures, but the inside of the sphere remained pitch black, and no pictures were captured.

"What the hell is it?" Bernice murmured and moved closer to the crystal ball in front of her, wanting to observe more carefully whether there were any details that she had overlooked.

In the next second, a strong and sharp strange feeling, as if being stared at by some giant monster, immediately penetrated her senses, making her almost in a state of blank thinking for a moment.When he came back to his senses, even the feeling of cold sweat sliding down the back of his neck was accompanied by a slight tremor, and the sound of breathing stopped.

But why?The crystal ball obviously didn't capture anything, where did that feeling come from?

Bernice reached out and fiddled with the transparent sphere surrounded by a faint green light in front of her. The temperature of her fingertips covered with thin sweat was not much warmer than this cold and temperatureless stone.It seemed that the overly frightened feeling just now took away her body temperature.

In the next second, a dull exhalation sound came again, and some images that were so fast that even the devil couldn't see clearly flashed across the surface of the sphere, followed by the feeling of being watched again.

There is no emotion, no emotion, as if the eyes that have existed since before the appearance of everything in the world, are so empty and ancient that it makes her scalp tingle.

But soon, she heard another vague monosyllable that she couldn't understand.The sight that shrouded her body also wavered a little, with a little more insignificant curiosity.

Obviously there was no substantive contact, but Bernice clearly felt that she had been dismantled from the inside out, and was being looked at by the other party like a messy sacrifice, every bone, every strand The blood vessels are all exposed.

Time seems to have become long at this moment, and even eternity has become something within reach.

Finally, the voice muttered something Bernice half-understood: "It's Sea God..."

As soon as the words fell, accompanied by an ear-exploding sound, the crystal ball suddenly exploded in front of Bernice's eyes without warning, and withered into a wreckage glowing with iridescence in an instant.

Bernice couldn't dodge in time, and even before the magic barrier released instinctively formed, she was cut by many flying sharp fragments and cut her face and the arm she raised to cover, and bright red blood gushed out immediately.

Before she had time to pick out the crystal shards deeply embedded in the flesh and repair the wound, Bernice ran out of the room clutching the neck that was most seriously injured by the shards, trying to find Thiago or Silvado and explain what happened just now. what happened.

There was blood flowing down from the wound on her forehead, and she wiped it off casually, bringing warmth and stickiness to her hands.

Perhaps it was the sense of panic and urgency that had just been watched and even dissected by unknown creatures still remained in her nerves, coupled with the gradual stress response due to continuous blood loss.Standing at the door of Thiago's office, Bernice found that her heartbeat was a little out of balance. She had raised and lowered her hand several times, but she couldn't knock it down.

So why did it have to happen at this time?She was a little depressed.

Even if she was given another day as a buffer, she wouldn't be like this now, standing at the door but couldn't help but be full of weird dreams from last night.

It's really... I don't want to see each other at this time.

It's so embarrassing.

Even knowing that it was just a dream...it should be...it should be just a dream, but that would be too embarrassing.

Patting his forehead, the pulling of the wound brought a short sharp pain, which made Bernice gasp and finally made up her mind.

However, after knocking on the door several times but still getting no response, she realized that Thiago should be temporarily absent from the observation center.

Can't tell whether it was irritability or a sigh of relief. After a short stay, Bernice continued to turn around and go downstairs all the way to the bottom floor.There is a semi-enclosed water area for the recuperation of injured marine life, which leads directly to the open sea.I still remember that when I was just released from prison, I met Thiago there.

Sea levels in bottom waters are unusually high due to storm surges.

She opened the valve and didn't even go in. She just tried to call Chao Ling towards the dark and turbulent sea water. She didn't expect that this elf who would only obey the orders of the sea god would really respond to her.

After waiting for a short time to no avail, Bernice was about to close the valve, but saw the seawater in front of her begin to rise rapidly and condense, turning into a transparent female image in front of her: "Miss Sea Witch, do you have any orders?" ?”

She froze for a moment, blinked quickly to confirm whether she had misread, and then asked: "Do you know where Your Majesty is?"

"Your Majesty is at the Maritime Museum, downtown. You look injured and you'd better get medical attention right away. Shall I take you there?"

"It's fine, I'll deal with it myself in a while." She shook her head nonchalantly, "I have something urgent that I need to ask you to convey to Your Majesty, it's about the latitude void..."

"Then I think, I'd better take you there right away." As he spoke, Chao Ling dragged Bernice into the water involuntarily.

Facts have proved that the so-called taking her there means dropping her directly to the top floor of the museum along the massive water vapor vortex from the ocean in the sky.

Standing in the pouring wind and rain, Bernice slowly wiped the messy hair and blood on her face, feeling completely stunned by Chao Ling's operation.

Obviously, as long as she sends a message, it can be solved, so why bother to bring me here?Fortunately, there is no one here, otherwise, with my appearance and this way of appearing, it would be really hard not to scare innocent people to death.

Most importantly, then she would have to face Thiago herself.

This is simply more terrifying than a nightmare.

She sighed, found the bathroom, and first briefly treated some of the overly obvious wounds on her face, and then grabbed her black hair to be more fluffy, so that they could hang down to cover the cuts on her neck?

The devil's strong self-healing power caused sharp pain to appear in the places where some crystal fragments were still embedded.Bernice tried to touch it, but she felt that it would not be clean for a while, so she decided to wait until Tiago was done looking for it, at least it didn't look scary at all now.

However, to her surprise, it was as empty as the observation center, and she didn't see any tourists from the top floor all the way down.

The only movement came from the huge electronic screen in the center of the first floor, which contained various reports about the storm surge from human social media.

For some reason, it was Silvedu who was facing her, but Thiago was the first to notice her.

The soft joy in his eyes only lasted for a moment, and soon dissipated because of the obviously covered and treated wounds on the opponent's body, and then he frowned.

Before Bernice could say anything, Tiago stretched out his hand to gently brush her black hair away, and then his eyes fell on her neck, seeing the calm expression on the skin cut by the crystal shards Immediately settled down.

"There are still a lot of debris in the wound, we need to get it out first." He said, sitting Bernice on the sofa beside him, and gently lifted her chin.

This angle is not very good, just like that, no matter where you look, you can't avoid the other person's face and gaze.

And it was too much like the action of that kiss.

Bernice felt a little uncomfortable, her eyelashes fluttered uncontrollably, and she reflexively wanted to escape from the sudden cool and icy temperature on her neck.

Thiago seemed to have anticipated her movement, so he stretched out his hand to support the back of the other's neck to prevent her from moving, and at the same time comforted softly: "It won't hurt, it will be fine soon."

She opened her mouth, but couldn't think of anything meaningful, so she could only choke out in embarrassment: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Who did you meet?" he asked, the movements of his hands delicate and soft.

"It's not someone, it's the voice." Bernice wanted to shake her head, but found it unsuccessful, so she could only briefly summarize what happened just now.

While speaking, Thiago had already taken out the fragments on her neck, and there were still a few pieces on her forehead, which were stuck together with some strands of hair, and it was not easy to notice without looking carefully.

"Are you sure that sound came from the latitude hole?" Silvedu looked surprised, and even had a secret anxiety.

"I'm sure." She replied, her gaze inadvertently glanced at the blond-haired mermaid in front of her. She was facing the meticulously tied dark blue tie in the opposite direction, and the pure white and flawless shirt collar above it, as well as the exposed section. On the neck, the complexion is soft, fair and delicate.

For some reason, she couldn't help thinking of the dream last night again.

Probably because the mermaid's voice is too bewitching. Every time he groaned because he couldn't restrain himself, Bernice would maliciously bite the other person's Adam's apple, in exchange for him sinking even more out of control. with treats.

In a daze, she saw a silver-blue imprint of a special shape imprinted on the boy's beautiful butterfly bone, like frost flowers falling from the sky in winter, flickering slightly with his uncontrollable emotions.

For a moment, Bernice felt that her brain was really flooded.Otherwise, how could he think that if he could take off Thiago's clothes and see if there is really this pattern on his back, wouldn't he be able to confirm whether his dream last night was real or not?

But then, she was taken aback by her own thoughts, and the whole jellyfish quickly distanced itself from the other party as if its fur had exploded.

"I'm sorry, did it hurt you?" Thiago wiped away the blood from her forehead due to the sudden movement, and lowered her eyebrows to see that she seemed to be restless, and there was an inexplicable blush on her face.

"Do you feel warm?"

He asked, the outspoken concern and purity in his tone made Bernice so guilty that she wanted to hit her to death on the spot.

Before that, she never thought of herself as a thin-skinned person, but she never thought that she would have today.

"It seems to be a little bit." Bernice perfunctory, trying to maintain the calmness she should have, quickly changed the subject, "So, why is there a sound like a living thing coming from the latitude hole? Logically speaking, no It should."

Tiago stared at her for a few seconds, saw the other party's avoidance but followed her words and received: "It really shouldn't be, but it's not entirely correct to say that He is a living thing."

"What do you mean?"

"I think what you just felt should be 'existence'." He explained, "You should be more accustomed to calling him Yermungard."

"Ah..." Bernice thought for a while, then said with some uncertainty, "The snake of the world?"

"That's an imaginary statement in human myths and legends, but it's a bit close."

"'Existence' has no specific form. He is himself, and also the appearance of everything in the world."

Every word he said Bernice could understand, but put together it was completely incomprehensible.

"What's the meaning……"

"Let's put it this way, He and I, as well as the god of light, Augsig, all come from the same place." Thiago explained as simply as possible, "Before the world was formed, there was nothing but the old gods. .”

"Whether it is time, space, light, darkness, life or death, anything that can be named by words does not exist."

Nothing exists... Bernice felt that she had imagined such a scene.Because under such a concept, it seems that imagination itself does not exist.

"After the death of the old gods, two things that are the easiest to see are left behind, and they have inherited all of his power. The all-seeing eye has become Oggsg, and the other is the heart of the ocean."

"The easiest thing to see...that is, is there anything that hasn't been seen?" Bernice asked trying to keep up with the other party's rhythm.

"That's right." Thiago smiled.Bernice has seen this kind of smile on his face countless times, and whenever he is respected and worshiped by other sea tribes and even angels as a sea god, he will show this expression.

It seems so gentle and kind, but because there is no human touch at all, it makes people daunting.

"It's like the creatures in the world can never really see their own appearance like others. In fact, everything today, from concept to non-concept, from entity to non-entity, from time to space to the creature itself, exists. They are all formed after the old gods died in the first place. This is 'existence'."

"I still don't seem to understand..." If everything in the world exists, what does that have to do with that voice?

"Let's put it this way. Just like what the all-seeing eye sees is real, then you can also think that the embodiment of reality is the all-seeing eye."

"So..." Bernice finally understood, "Everything is existence, so Yemengard is the embodiment of existence?"

"That's right." Thiago smiled, which looked much more real and warm than the smile just now.

"But I heard His voice. Does that mean that He is coming from the other side of the latitude hole?" Bernice asked, but she was thinking of another question.

The God of Light is real, Yermungard is existence, and Tiago...

What does it mean?

"That's not true. But I think He's about to wake up." Tiago sighed lightly, as if he didn't think it was a serious problem, and his tone was as gentle as evaluating an ignorant child.

But when Bernice looked at Gabriel and Silvedu who were at the side, she found that their expressions looked as serious as if the world was about to end.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to worry or not.

But then, Bernice recalled the latitude void that fluctuated with Yermungard's breathing, and suddenly realized something: "Then, does the appearance of the latitude void have something to do with Yermungard?"

"That's right." Thiago stopped suddenly when he said this, as if he remembered something that disgusted him, and the expression on his face was blank for a moment.

But soon, probably in the blink of an eye, he returned to his usual gentle and calm appearance: "The first disciple of Augsig, and also the first magician. He is very ambitious and talented, But arrogant to stupid human beings."

In her impression, Bernice seemed to have never heard Thiago make any very clear comments on others like today.His attitude is the same as the sea in full spring, always impartial, always calm.For such a god to utter such harsh words, Bernice suddenly wondered what this person had done.

Soon, Thiago gave the answer: "He hopes to get rid of the shackles of the human body and be able to sit on an equal footing with the gods."

Bernice was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what he just said was still too gentle.

No creature with a brain dares to think like this, not even the slightest bit.He obviously didn't have any symptoms at all.

"In order to achieve his goal, he tried to steal the power of the All-Seeing Eye. Although he failed, he disrupted Yemengarde's dormant law."

"Once the 'existence' is affected, a latitude hole appears. Because conceptually speaking, the human society we are in now is also a kind of existence."

"So, because Yermengarde's dormant law was disturbed. This human world is confused with our original world?"

"That's it."

"Then you just said that he is about to wake up..." Bernice panicked suddenly belatedly, "what does that mean? I mean, if he really wakes up?"

"That's it." Thiago pondered for a moment, "Maybe the two worlds will completely overlap, many creatures will disappear, and more mutants will appear, and it will be very troublesome then."

trouble?

This is not a trouble can be summed up, right? !

Gabriel and their expressions are right, this is the end of the world!

Bernice felt her head buzzing: "Is there a way to keep him from waking up?"

"There is a way, but you have to go back to the original world." Tiago replied, from the eyebrows to the tone of voice, there is still no sign of nervousness, "Hurry up."

Bernice opened her mouth, wanting to ask something more, but still couldn't think of words, so she could only temporarily choose to remain silent.

On the screen, the momentum of the storm surge is getting stronger and stronger, and the dark clouds in the distant sky are constantly rolling up and thickening, and they are also getting lower and lower. Just looking at it gives me a feeling of suffocation, as if I am trapped in the sky. in the grave.

Soon, news from the Meteorological Bureau came, and the image of the angel on duty appeared directly on the screen.

It's Troy.

The angel with a lovely curly hair respectfully saluted everyone on the opposite side of the screen, and then reported the soaring tide caused by this unprecedented storm surge, which almost wiped out all the urban areas in the offshore range, and the number of human casualties It has been growing: "This situation has never happened in the past few decades. Please give instructions, do you need to intervene in rescue?"

According to Bernice's idea, Thiago should agree soon.

But what she didn't expect was that the other party refused lightly.

"No, that's it," he said.

"Yes."

The news was interrupted, and the footage recorded by the security office was switched over.

Bernice saw countless dark and out-of-control waves raging crazily in the offshore area, and ignored the breakwaters built along the coast.Wherever it passed, everything was flattened by the impact of the huge wave.

Many vehicles were washed and floated by the sea, as light as children's toys.Some fishing boats that were originally moored in the port were also brought over, collided with buildings more than ten meters high, and were washed away from the bottom by ocean currents, and soon collapsed together into a pile of debris.

Both the ocean and the sky are neighing and roaring, and the human voice is so weak at this moment.

But Bernice saw it anyway.

Those who struggled to survive in the sea, those who cried and prayed on the crumbling roofs, and those who ran for their lives in despair in the streets flooded by the ocean current, there are many, many.

"Are you really not going to save them?" she asked.

The reason for asking this question, Bernice felt, was not because of how kind-hearted she was.You must know that as a demon, this beautiful character has nothing to do with her.

So she just felt a little puzzled, after all, she should be the one to do things like this.

This storm surge is scary, it's a fact.

But it is also true that Thiago can stop them if he wants, or even stop them at all.

"Do you want me to save them?" Thiago asked back.He seemed to be asking this question sincerely, but his tone was as flat as discussing whether to eat or drink.

Bernice felt a little uneasy: "No. I just thought you would."

"why?"

"Because you and the security department have always done this."

"Always?" He blinked, the blue on his irises looked so clear, "You mean to protect human beings?"

"Looks like it is."

Unexpectedly, Thiago laughed: "It's not true, Bernice. I didn't protect them, I just corrected mistakes that shouldn't have happened."

"mistake?"

"Because of the latitude hole, mutations appeared in this world. Mutations usually threaten humans and other animals, so I protect them. But in essence, this is just correcting mistakes."

He explained softly: "As long as it is an accident caused by a mutant, whether it is for humans or other creatures, I will deal with it. But frankly speaking, it doesn't matter whether it is a person, an animal, or a mountain or river. It doesn't make any difference to me."

"But this one is different."

He turned his head again and set his eyes on the shocking pictures on the screen again, but there was no emotion at all: "The reason for this storm surge is the natural law inherent in this world, it will bring The future consequences, whether life or death or destruction, are all within the law, and I don't need to interfere."

"...Ah, that's it." Bernice echoed in a daze.

For some reason, although Thiago's explanation made sense, she still sounded terrified.

At the same time, I doubt again, can God really have feelings?

Before she could finish thinking, the blond young Sea God added again: "Of course. If you are among them, then it's a different matter."

"Why? I'm also within the law." She blurted out, and then realized that she shouldn't have asked this question, it would involve many topics that she was not good at.

It's a pity that it's useless to regret, because Thiago has already heard it.

After staring at him for a long time, Thiago finally spoke, with a light but serious tone: "Sometimes."

She raised her head and met those blue eyes, as if she saw the warmth and ruthlessness of the whole ocean.

"When the law does not harm you, you are within it."

"Then what if..." She suddenly felt a little afraid to finish the question, feeling that the result she would get would be beyond her imagination.

"If it's the other way around."

He replied calmly: "Then destroy it."

"Reshaping the law, Vientiane is renewed."

The author has something to say: Curious about your feelings after reading this chapter [seek comments in disguise jpg]

A reminder in the front row that the first believer of the God of Light appeared in chapters 34 and 35 of Guidance.Personally, in fact, in those two chapters, some of Thiago’s characteristics as a god were slightly hinted at.

In addition, in order to avoid quarrels or incomprehension when newcomers come in to read the text in the future, let's make an announcement in advance.Some readers may start to wonder why Thiago is so paranoid towards Nini after seeing this, and at the same time he is paranoid and indifferent as a god, which seems to be very split.

Ah, in fact, I can guess from Nini's sentence "The God of Light represents reality, Yermungard represents existence, what does Thiago represent" and "He is a god with a heart" mentioned many times before, I I will write it out slowly in the future.

Finally, I am still curious about your feelings [probe jpg]
