How to become a sea witch

Chapter 8, Part eight

The boat to go to sea was ready and was waiting at the port for departure, but Gabriel still felt the need to confirm with Thiago again.

Not that he disapproved of the decision to go to sea.On the contrary, at this point, he and Thiago have the same idea, and both believe that only by taking the initiative to find the ghost ship can this matter be resolved as soon as possible.

So according to the normal logic, one should let a Sea Clan who has been in contact with this incident and is absolutely loyal go with him.

Rather than a dangerous person like Bernice who has a criminal record and happens to be targeting Tiago.

Therefore, no matter from any angle, this decision is completely unreasonable, and Gabriel can't figure out why Thiago did this.

In his eyes, although this newly promoted Seagod is too young, he is extremely calm and thoughtful in his usual behavior and strategy.

Only when it comes to Bernice's affairs, it always seems particularly abnormal.

From the very beginning, Gabriel felt that something was wrong, but he only felt that it was because of the mermaid's gentle nature and excellent upbringing that Thiago was so kind to Bernice.

But now he understood that it had nothing to do with anything else.

Thiago obviously never regarded Bernice as a criminal who was released from prison, let alone regarded her as his enemy.

It was as if he had completely forgotten why Bernice was imprisoned in the first place, which made Gabriel feel incomprehensible, but he hadn't reached the point of presumptuously questioning the other party because of this.

On the contrary, as the inspector, Gabriel has been supervising Bernice very responsibly during the period after she was released from prison, even though she had never done anything out of the ordinary.

This is completely incompatible with her well-known title of annoying spirit in Meteor Garden, and she is even a little suspiciously well-behaved.

Long before Gabriel went to see her in the Sin Garden with the parole order, he had read all the records of Bernice in prison in advance.I also know that sea witches, creatures that exist as the old enemy of the mermaid clan, have never been a troublesome demon.

So after Bernice was released from prison, he was fully prepared, ready to execute her on the spot or kick her back to prison to continue serving her sentence.

But now it seems that maybe all his preparations were in vain, and the development of the whole thing is completely different from what he imagined.

Thinking of this, Gabriel quickly passed along the stairs in front of him, and at the same time stretched out his hand to press down the black fedora that was a little precariously blown by the sea wind, and sighed softly.

In June, the Kamchatka Peninsula was still under the absolute jurisdiction of cold forces. The cold wind blowing from the inland mountains was mixed with many sharp snowflakes like metal shards, which felt a little painful on the face.

He pressed his hat, put one hand in his coat pocket and lowered his head, adjusted the wearing position of the cochlea, so that Blake's remote report could be heard more clearly.

"You are right to worry." Blake's voice squeezed into his hearing together with the sharp wind around him, "Just before we closed the port, a private yacht from Alaska has entered the sea where the ghost ship is active. Lost contact."

"Have you found out the identity of the owner of the yacht?"

"Yes. This yacht is registered in the name of a wealthy Russian businessman. It left the Sea of ​​Okhotsk last July and sailed through many other sea areas. It should be on its way back now."

Gabriel frowned and clicked his tongue. He had just explained a few words, but after turning a corner, he accidentally saw Bernice who also came out of the monitoring center building at some point.

After taking off her thick winter clothes, she was only wearing a camouflage jacket, sitting alone on the reef, her unfettered black hair was blown tousled by the wind, her light green eyes were staring blankly at the distant sea horizon .

The surface of the water was undulating, and the dark blue waves kept rushing towards the shore.In the case of poor visibility, the outlines of several islands became somewhat blurred, looking like the raised back of some kind of monster when it was about to break through the water.

Several marine iguanas were lying at her feet, fighting for the food in Bernice's hand, and then they all stopped, looking at the direction where Gabriel was standing, with half of the seaweed still in their mouths.

Bernice turned her head and saw the other party through the messy hair that was blown by the wind. She took the initiative to talk to her: "This boat is so beautiful, is it rented from a human?"

"The monitoring center has been equipped since the beginning of its establishment, but it has never been really used, it is just placed there for human beings to see." Gabriel replied.

indeed.

As a marine ecological monitoring center, it would be too strange if there is not even a research vessel.

Bernice nodded understandingly, tucked the messy hair in front of her eyes behind her ears, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked tentatively: "So, this time, you really want His Majesty the Sea God to go with me?"

Gabriel looked at her with slightly raised eyebrows. His pale golden eyes were calm and unwavering. They were bright and bright, but they looked as oppressive as the dark clouds above his head: "Are you afraid of being with Your Majesty?"

The overly ambiguous words made Bernice feel a little dazed, her light green eyes shrank behind the black broken hair and blinked uncomfortably, she couldn't find a word to pick up for a while, so she could only reply: "I am a devil , he is the sea god, he is absolutely suppressed by nature, isn't it normal for me to be afraid of him?"

Gabriel was noncommittal about her explanation, and only looked at the other party indifferently.The overly sharp and straightforward scrutiny made Bernice a little uncomfortable, as if someone had used a sharp weapon to cut open the body and pierce into the soul.

She staggered her gaze, patted her hands with no seaweed to feed, and drove the marine iguanas who were still unwilling to give up and climbed towards her back to the shallow water.

The sky is as dark as a pure black dream, and the too dim colors make it impossible for the sight to find a clear focus point in this environment, and everything in sight is blurred.

Bernice had been sitting by the sea for a while, and the ends of her hair were a little damp from the excessive moisture in the air.

She stroked her long hair and didn't intend to get up. She only sighed, put her hands on her knees to support her face, and said softly as if she was talking to herself: "Is it true that I said something wrong?"

"What did you say?" Gabriel caught the possible hidden information in her words and asked immediately.

Bernice didn't expect him to care about this, but she still briefly repeated what she and Thiago had said in the conference room.

After listening, he lowered his eyelashes and remained silent for a few seconds, his lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only left a faint sentence: "Then you go to the port and wait, we will set off soon."

"Ready so soon?"

"Hmm. Humans broke into the ghost ship's hunting area."

"That's it."

Not long after arriving at the port, Bernice saw Thiago and other angels coming together.

He is still dressed in a white suit, dark blue tie, long platinum hair tied casually, light-toned cool color from head to toe, tall and slender figure, walking in the gray and hazy world, it is hard not to notice to him.

When he came to the edge of the port, Thiago stopped, simply explained a few words to Gabriel and the others and boarded the boat.Sitting on the edge of the boat, Bernice saw that after Tiago turned around, the angels who looked at her in unison basically all had bad expressions.

That expression was like seeing a demon wearing a bikini on a solemn and inviolable altar, arrogantly raising his middle finger at them, but they couldn't beat them violently.

So what's wrong with you angels?

Bernice felt particularly incomprehensible. No matter from which point of view, a demon who was bound and unable to use high-level magic power was on the same boat as a split of the Supreme God. The one who was in danger must be that demon.

Why do you look at her with such threatening eyes, as if you are afraid that she will do something to Tiago, shouldn't you gloat that she has today?With her current state, what can she do to Sea God?

Bernice thought so, but still kept a quiet and obedient look on her face, and smiled awkwardly and politely at the angels by the port.

Behind him, Thiago walked straight towards her as soon as he got on the boat, looking at the black sea that merged with the dark clouds in the distance, the dark sky filled his eyes, floating into an elusive dark color, but his tone was as gentle as ever: "There is a A human yacht has entered the hunting area of ​​the ghost ship, and Gabriel and the others will complete the security and cover work on the land. If possible, shall we set off now?"

"Ah, of course." Bernice jumped off the side of the boat, and before she could stand still, she was staggered by the shaking of the research ship as it left the port.

She subconsciously reached out to grab something, but was stabilized by Thiago in time.

"Be careful." He said, feeling Bernice's momentary stiffness, and then quickly let go of her, which was just right for a gentleman.

"Thank you." She murmured, always feeling a bone-chilling coldness in the place he touched just now.

The sharp bow broke through the black sea surface, rolling out countless pale waves and blooming around.The noise, the sound of the engine and the sound of the waves together fill the hearing, monotonous to lonely.

Bernice stood on the deck a little uneasy, sneaking glances at the mermaid beside her from time to time, feeling that when there was absolutely nothing to talk about, the atmosphere was so awkward that she felt a little guilty.

If only Gabriel had sent an accompanying creature out to sea to watch her just now, she thought with a silent sigh.At least that way, she would still have someone to talk to and chat with to pass the time.

She confirmed that she didn't make any sound, but Thiago still turned his head to look at her when she just sighed, and asked, "Is it uncomfortable?"

"Huh?" Bernice was at a loss for a moment, then shook her head, "No."

"That's good. Many angels and sea people were somewhat uncomfortable when they took human transportation for the first time."

"And angels too?" She was a little surprised.

"Yes," Thiago added, reflecting on it, "they'll spit rainbows."

"?!!"

What is the unique and funny setting of spit rainbow? !

Is it true that every time a rainbow appears in the sky, there is actually an angel fainting in vehicles?

Bernice was stunned. After a while, she gradually came back to her senses and asked, "Then, will Gabriel do it too?"

I don’t know why, but the indescribable setting of using Gabriel’s ice cube face and spitting a rainbow is extraordinarily graphic.

Thiago replied quite seriously: "I will definitely do it. As for whether I have had it, it is hard to say, it mainly depends on patience."

Although reason tells Bernice, the most important thing to do at this time is to reply with a proper smile.However, when she tried to do it, she couldn't control it for a moment and actually laughed.

I always feel that there is no way to look directly at what is going on with the cold and paralyzed angel, as if some strange halo has been shattered all over the place.

The sea breeze was wet and cold, blowing her black hair into a curtain between the two of them, and a few strands swept across Thiago's arms, with a sharp contrast between black and white.

He lowered his eyebrows to touch the end of the other party's hair, then quickly withdrew his hand, and together with the unexplained loneliness in his eyes, he returned to the mask-like warmth, looking the same as usual.

"I thought that angels would only have this kind of repulsive reaction to demons, but I didn't expect that it would do the same to ships." Bernice said half-jokingly, while secretly slandering that human beings are indeed terrifying creatures with infinite possibilities.

"Only?" Thiago repeated, asking, "Why do you think so?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Bernice shrugged slightly, "Angels belong to the gods, and they have always been incompatible enemies with demons like us. If they happen to meet each other, it would be a miracle if they don't fight to the death. Mutual exclusion is of course normal."

Thiago looked at her quietly for a while, then smiled with ambiguous meaning, his blue eyes were filled with mist, and he just said lightly: "Not necessarily, there are always exceptions to everything."

Maybe, but unfortunately, the exceptions that happened to her are never a good thing, and she would rather be the majority of those who are inconspicuous.And to be honest, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. Angels and demons were sworn enemies, just like sea witches and mermaids.From the beginning of birth, it has been like this for thousands of years, with no exceptions.

Bernice thought about it absently, but still pretended to agree because of her whitewashing plan: "That's true, since I can come out of the Fallen Garden and come to this new world, there are no other exceptions. I wouldn't be surprised."

As soon as she finished speaking, the thin sunlight above her head shivered and completely disappeared from her sight.The sky was as dark as the turbulent ocean below, and more dark clouds were condensing, merging with each other and swirling into a closed cage that was pressed above the head.

Pale sea fog floated from all directions, dense and entrenched.Bernice squinted her eyes, and saw a shapeless black shadow gradually approaching them behind the sea fog, and even the ocean currents in the nearby waters were also turbulent to the point of madness.

"Here we come." Thiago sighed softly, his long platinum hair floating in the air, becoming the color closest to the sun here.

Bernice stretched her neck, and saw that sailing out from behind the thick fog was not the black ghost ship she had seen in the video, but a completely unfamiliar large yacht.

This surprised her a little.

"What's going on?" she muttered.

"The shape of the ghost ship is not fixed." Thiago explained, "Every time it appears, it will use the ship it hunted last time as a new face. This is why in the legends of human society today, the ghost ship The descriptions are always inconsistent."

"By the way, it can also be used as a cover?" Bernice quickly understood, "If everyone says something different, everyone will naturally doubt the authenticity of this thing, and people who go to sea will not be able to find anything that can be said. object of vigilance."

"good."

But despite this, the size of this yacht is still much larger than Bernice imagined.It sailed out from behind the mist, like a slow approaching giant white monster, and gradually stopped on the rough sea, motionless.

The huge difference in size makes the research ship look like a children's toy ship in front of it, and it can be smashed into pieces by a wave.

"By the way, do we need to panic for a while?" Bernice suggested, "It's very important to be realistic."

"No need, this ship is a carrier of illusion, and its real minions are in the water." Thiago raised his jaw slightly toward the sea.

Bernice followed his instructions and looked down, and she saw that the sea water near the research ship began to boil, followed by countless monsters coming out one after another.

Since they had completely restrained their own magical aura before going out to sea, the mutants who came out of the waves did not notice anything wrong with the two people on board, and only recognized them as ordinary human beings as before. They climbed up the research ship one by one, the voice in their throats was vague and dull, like some kind of strange language.

Bernice frowned when she heard that, and whispered to Thiago, "It's the common language of demons." As she spoke, she glanced at the many mutants that were getting closer and closer, and asked, "Get rid of them all ?"

"No." Thiago raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his too faint smile just stopped on his lips, and his eyes were cold and sharp, "We still have to let them lead the way and find out what happened on that yacht. What. Besides, they were only affected by the curse to become like this, so save them, let’s keep them.”

As expected of a mermaid, it is indeed a kind-hearted, gentle and loving species, suitable for fooling around, as long as you don't get caught!

Bernice sighed, and at the same time felt that since the yacht had been used as a new carrier by the ghost ship, it was almost impossible for anyone to survive.

"You don't need high-level magic power now, leave it to me."

"It's okay." Bernice said casually, "I can't even use mid-level magic power in the Fallen Garden, and I can beat the other prisoners on the entire ninth floor. So don't worry, I won't hold you back of."

"I'm not this..."

Before Thiago finished speaking, the girl in front of her had already moved briskly to avoid the attack from her side.

Countless green threads of light grew lushly in her hands, and the slender and shiny strands were tightly wrapped around the mutant body closest to her, wrapping it into an immobile cocoon in the blink of an eye.The waves shook the ship, and more mutants roared and rushed towards her.

The bursting magic power turned into flames and danced in Bernice's eyes. The light green eyes under the messy black hair were like a pair of cold, bright and hard emerald stones, and the nails were sharp and deep blue.

The light threads flooded into impenetrable thorns and entwined around her, flexibly and spontaneously encircling and outflanking the mutants like a snake, sealing them all under a layer of green light.

The sea surface was raging, and the waves roared, stirring the entire space into a mass of turbid and mighty gray and black, as if falling into the depths of a tomb, about to lead to the noise of hell.

The research ship was shaken by the huge waves created by the mutants, the water broke through the protective fence and rushed onto the deck, the engine was torn apart, and the mutants who changed their strategies began to work together to drag the entire ship below the sea surface.

Bernice glanced at the stern of the ship, which was sinking more and more, and habitually cursed in devil language.

She pinched the neck of the monster that jumped up in front of her, and the strong rotten smell that came to her face reminded her of the flying fish corpse that she had to swallow in order to survive.

The light threads shot out from the fingertips, and densely climbed up, tightened its torso, cut off the fins, and the crimson blood spilled on the surface of the boat, and was quickly melted away by the waves, leaving only the wave The lingering smell of blood and decay lingered in the air.

Resisting the urge to vomit, Bernice wiped her wet face with her sleeves, and was about to jump into the sea to quickly deal with these mutants, when a thin to translucent hexagonal frost suddenly broke into her body. line of sight.

The ice flakes as thin as cicada's wings fell on the tip of her nose, melting away a burst of clean and fresh sea water.

She looked up and saw that snowflakes began to fall in the dark sky at some point, and the cold and icy smell filtered the air.

They kept falling from the sky into the seawater, so many that they were out of control, instantly condensed the waves and some of the mutants that had just left the station into a static entity, freezing every trace of water ripples on the ocean surface, and stopping the continuous descent of the research ship. Shen.

Bernice turned her head and saw Thiago retracting her half-raised hand, who happened to be looking sideways at her too. The corners of her brows and the bottom of her eyes were covered with crystal-like tiny fish scales, which gradually gathered towards her temples to form a slender, sharp line of ice. Lan Fengyan looked extremely stunning.

"This area still belongs to the offshore area, and the water quality is not very good. If you stay like this for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable."

He said, his tone was still usual gentle and gentle even in the frosty and snowy wind: "Follow me, don't worry about anything else."
