Mermaid Reef

Jason pushed Gemil away with a dark face.

He was a little uneasy.

Gemil followed behind, neither far nor close, the distance was just right.

The buildings along the street hang down one rain curtain after another, forming a strange transparent barrier.

As they walked through it, the rain was automatically avoided, and nothing seemed to happen peacefully, but the lights from some buildings revealed the evil god's secrets.

—The shadow is changing.

Gemil's shadow quietly stretched out to poke Jason's shadow.

Jason quickened his pace.

The shadow let go of his hand, and carefully walked around in front of Jason's shadow, waving his round limbs without fingers. It suddenly "stands up" from the stagnant water on the ground, and the shadow changes from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one, sweeping lightly like a tail. over the back of Jason's hand.

Before Jason bowed his head, he quickly retracted and disappeared without a trace.

Jason: "..."

He thought Gemil was enjoying it.

If Jensen doesn't break the silence, Gemil can play this game with more tricks.

"We should talk." Jason stopped abruptly and turned his head.

Gemir was taken aback for a moment, and the shadow tentacles that stretched out "hugged" nothing.

At this time, a gray-white stone wall happened to reflect their shadows: the tall shadow whose face could not be seen clearly twisted and reorganized quickly, turning into a mermaid with loose long hair perched on the reef.

The mermaid raised her head, and the perfect silhouette attracted people's attention unconsciously.

The mermaid's movements also coincided with Gemil's. He looked at Jason as if he was looking at his beloved treasure.

Jason: "..."

It's not easy for the evil god to stay sane under such interference, really.

Jensen really wanted to use vines to cover Gemir's eyes and face, or grab the mask and put it back on Sea God's face.

This is the most straightforward.

But Jason didn't dare.

Not a single vine dared to take off.

One side of his body was still numb.

"Am I in a hurry? Are you unhappy?" Gemil asked in a low voice.

Although Gemil didn't deliberately use a charming voice this time, the influence still exists.The power of evil gods is innate and closely related to their emotions. They can control the intensity, but it is impossible to completely erase its existence.

"When I play human detective games in the future, I will definitely be serious." Gemil promised.

Jason hesitated to speak.

Gemil stood still.

But in the shadow on the wall, the mermaid has stretched out its arms and hooked Jason's shoulders, the thin fins on his wrists scraped against Jason's neck, and the fish tail was wrapped around Jason's waist.

The rain was rushing, and the accumulated water gradually overflowed the bottom of the shadow, just like the legendary siren who bewitched humans and was waiting for the high tide to bring its prey back to its lair in the deep sea.

Jason said with difficulty: "It's not about pretending to be human."

"Ok?"

Gemil was very confused. Since there was no love consultant John Detective, he began to recall what happened just now.

The memory of the evil god can easily remind them of the surroundings, sounds, smells, and even a breeze blowing by.

... Could it be the Kraken?

The human named Andre said that the monster in the flames of the clock tower may be the descendant of a certain evil god, or the product of the combination of certain two evil gods.

Andre's guess is actually quite reasonable. Monsters that are stronger than the evil god's family and less powerful than the evil god are usually from these two origins.

The so-called descendant of the evil god does not mean that it was born from the union of two evil gods, because the evil god can give birth to offspring by itself, such as the gray butterfly in London, and its descendants are also part of its power, which is very common.

Gemil suddenly thought of the current situation between himself and Jason, and immediately understood what Jason was going to talk about.

"You want to ask about descendants?" Gemil raised his eyebrows.

Jason was reluctant to talk about it, but he couldn't help it.

Heretic gods and evil gods will have offspring...as long as they are willing...

But this kind of situation is rare, mainly because it takes too much time and effort, and the evil gods don't have that much patience.

Jason suddenly discovered that Gemil seemed very interested in the existence of the fabricated monster, could it be—

Thinking of this possibility, Jason resisted instinctively, and he took a step back.

Gemil couldn't help laughing. He lowered his head slightly and pressed it against Jason's forehead. His voice seemed to be chant, or whispered by a demon:

"Don't think about it, it won't happen. Although having children is a way to expand the field and increase loyal helpers, it will weaken our own strength. We are not gods with the power to give birth. The more we give birth, the more we will not Make us stronger."

That stupid gray butterfly was different.

That is the evil god who can be powerful as long as he lives, lives, lives.

Such an evil god is either extremely weak or extremely powerful, there is no intermediate level at all.

Because on the road to becoming stronger, the self-reproduction model will soon be useless. If you want to become stronger, you can only find the same kind to reproduce, but other evil gods may not have this interest and patience.

——The evil god who has experienced countless times of finding a partner and survived smoothly is of course very strong.

Similarly, whether the evil god has descendants is often irrelevant to its wishes. If it encounters a similar kind who comes to court and cannot be beaten, if you don't want to die, you have to agree.

This is also the second reason why Jensen is entangled. He doesn't know Gemil's past.

Gamil began to pronounce a series of weird long syllables.

Every stone in the city, every stake under the water trembled.

Shadows enveloped the city, and fear filled the hearts of the people.

Sea God is reading his real name.

"...I have no descendants, never have, and never will."

The mermaid's shadow lay on Jason's shoulder, and said happily, "I promise, the Kraken is just for deceiving humans."

***

Hans couldn't stand still and bumped his head against the wall of the dungeon.

He listened to the panicked shouts in the distance, and his face paled.

"The shock just now was caused by the evil god..."

Hans was talking to himself.

His feeling is not wrong, those two evil gods may have lost their patience!That is the wrath of God!

Hans has been trapped here for the past two days to be interrogated by the religious order, unable to follow the promise to investigate the truth.

"Let me out, I can save Venice!"

Hans was anxious and couldn't help shouting.

But no one paid him any attention.

Because the highest alert bell at the mission's residence rang, some people were so frightened that they wanted to escape, and some people planned to go out to fight desperately.

Hans beat on the door of the dungeon desperately, his heart getting more and more anxious.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the passage. Before Hans could be happy, he felt a strong hand dragging him up.

"Take him away and go to sea as fast as possible!"

"stop!"

Andre's angry shouts also sounded, and he quickly ran to Hans.

"Put people down!"

"Grey Owl, this is the order of the Bishop. The survival of Venice depends on today! Since you have such a deep relationship with Hans, the Bishop allows you to live and die together!"

It was the Commander of the Knights who spoke, he raised his head arrogantly, and easily threw Hans to Andre.

Hans, whose physique is as strong as a bear, is as easy as throwing away a Shar Pei as a knight commander.

Hans stared straight at the knight commander.

"What is this blind man looking at?"

"……Pollution."

Hans murmured in a low voice, and then when he saw Andre, his expression became more complicated.

Andre clenched his palms, and immediately led Hans out of the dungeon.

There are many traps in the passage, and Hans stumbled forward. When he was almost at the exit, he finally couldn't help it: "Uncle Andre, you... have you accepted the evil god's pollution power to strengthen yourself?"

"you saw it."

Andre's voice was low, and he said affirmative sentences.

At first, he helped Hans to go out, but he found that Hans seemed to be able to see the runes in the passage, and he knew how to avoid them. He knew that Hans' eyes might have changed that he didn't want to foresee.

"Don't let others know! Your eyes!" Andre warned.

There's a lot of people waiting outside the passage, basically the Greycloaks, but also a troop of order knights who have been told to take a boat out to sea to "draw out" the kraken.

Although the cloaks and iron helmets hid their faces, they could still see the lingering fear and doubt on their bodies.

Andre didn't want to take them to die, but he had no choice.

The church was peeped by an inexplicable force just now, which proves that it has been targeted by evil gods—although the power of the Gray Order in Venice is deeply rooted, they only have three well-defended stations. The first is the bell tower, and the second is here. Now the order is forced to withdraw to the last place.

The children and relatives of most of the religious members lived nearby.

So there is no time to hesitate.

Andre held Hans' shoulder and said quickly, "Be smart... When you are at sea, run away as soon as monsters appear."

***

"Ok?"

The mermaid shadow on the wall twisted and turned back into a tall black shadow.

Gemil put on a mask and reminded Jason: "The person from the secret sect has left the church."

A group of people went straight to the pier, while another group dispersed, using the concealment effect of the runes to walk through the rain.

"Where are you going?" Gemil asked.

"Of course I'm looking for the bishop." Jason blurted out.

Jason was still a little embarrassed because of a certain topic that was discussed just now.

This is probably the disadvantage of being young. I didn't consider these details before, and suddenly realized the problem and was dragged onto the stage to discuss it indifferently by the ancient gods. Now the matter has been resolved, but Jason found that he had exposed the shortcomings of youth and ignorance. face.

Jason tried his best to remain calm, and he was grateful to the humans of the order who jumped out in time to divert their attention.

"Hans' breath went to the seaside. The arrangement for the 'Kraken' might be interesting, but if we lose the bishop, we don't know where the ants are hiding again." Jason suggested.

"You are right, the scene of civil strife in the church cannot end so quickly."

Gemil sighed.

While on the Orient Express, Poseidon also had expectations of the theater in Venice.

As a result, when they came to the entrance of the theater, they suddenly found that the theater had stopped performing.

The orchestra and theater troupe in the whole city are not performing!

you ask why?

The earthquake, the whole city was in chaos for half the night.

Heavy rain, the powerful nobles have all run away...

This is why after the evil god hired a Hans, instead of spending time leisurely in the city, he continued to pretend to be a human being to play detective games and eavesdrop on the roof of the church.
