"It was a strange experience. Doris propped her chin on the edge of the table and closed her eyes as she recalled, "After entering that area, I suddenly felt that nothing mattered, the only thing that mattered was to obey orders, and the order was to guard that sea area from easy access by others. It's hard to imagine that the desire to protect is so strong that I can't help but go to the depths of the Devil's Sea. If it hadn't been for Bayer forcibly pulling me back, I guess I would have been like those who disappeared and never came back. ”

"Who is Byer?" asked Catherine, "is it the Sea Clan you mentioned earlier who were surveying with you?"

"Yes, Baier is from the Sea Serpent Clan. Doris said, "He is the most powerful leader of the Sea Serpent Clan, one of the most powerful demigods of the Deep Sea Clan. His underwater form was a sea serpent more than 300 meters long, and it was by wrapping his tail around me that he pulled me back in time. ”

"In other words, it's okay for a part of your body to enter the Devil's Sea?" Catherine asked, "So he can pull you back?"

"Yes, after experimentation, it has to be the main body of the body, that is, the whole brain, to be within range for it to be controlled. Doris explained, "If it's just physical, it doesn't have any effect. However, this also caused trouble for the temptation, and it was impossible to use the body to tempt, and there was no turning back if one was not careful. ”

"I see. Catherine nodded solemnly and said, "You go on, the results of your own experiment." ”

"That's not something that can be fought by will. Doris continued, "I can be considered one of the five most powerful sea tribes in the deep sea, but as soon as I entered, my mind was directly reversed. ”

"Is it a direct reversal of thinking?" said Pannis, surprised, "Isn't it simply the erosion of will?"

"Well, that's what I want to remind you. Doris sighed: "Maybe you can't understand the difference between the two, the erosion of the will is actually like forcing you to obey orders, you can fight with your will, if your will is strong enough, you can completely ignore the other party's orders." But if you change your mind, it's like making you want to obey orders in your heart, and you don't have a chance to fight at all, because your will has been fundamentally transformed into obedience, do you understand what that means?"

"Yes, yes. Catherine's eyebrows furrowed together, she bit her lip and said, "But it's hard to imagine what that feels like." ”

"If I haven't experienced it, I can't understand it. Doris said: "It seems that my mind has changed in an instant, I still know who I am, I still know everything that happened, and I even know what I came in for, but at that time, at that time, in my consciousness, the person who gave the order was everything, but there was no person who gave the order, and I didn't know whose order was being carried out, all I could think of was to guard the sea and attack all intelligent creatures who entered the sea without permission." ”

"It was a really fun experience. Pannis touched his chin and nodded with a smile, "It's hard to imagine anything that can do this and cover so widely." Well, you go on. ”

"Then Bayer pulled me out. Doris said, "As soon as I left the sea, I immediately came to my senses. It's not accurate to use sobriety, it should be that my thinking has changed again, I still remember the whole situation just now, and even remember what I thought just now, but I can't understand why I had that thought just now. ”

"Did you try it only once?" asked Catherine, "there must be other trials." ”

"Well, the same test has been repeated many times. Doris replied: "After this experience, many targeted experiments were carried out, including the launch of targeted protection at the level of will, but it had no effect, as long as it entered the range, it would be controlled, and if it left the range, it would be restored." ”

"However, the willpower of the individual still has an effect. "In any case, this is also a mental attack, and I don't believe it if the individual's willpower has no effect at all." ”

"Well, it's kind of influential. Doris nodded and said: "Badia, oh, Badia is the leader of the deep-sea octopus clan, one of the elders of the deep-sea, this year is more than six thousand years old, usually has been asleep, just woke up more than seventy years ago, has not yet entered the next dormant period, this time I also asked for help." His tentacles alone were more than 1,500 meters long, and using the length of his tentacles, he was able to capture a few controlled sea tribes patrolling the periphery from the range of the Devil's Sea Area. I don't know if it's because of the problem of will or the difference in the length of time under control, those captured sea tribes don't remember what happened inside at all, and their consciousness is still stuck in the moment when they inadvertently broke into the devil's sea. One of them disappeared in the Devil's Sea three hundred and fifty years ago, and these three hundred and fifty years seemed to him to be a blank slate, as if he had changed places in the blink of an eye, and three hundred and fifty years had passed. ”

"It's scary to think about. Lina couldn't help but shake her body and whispered, "It's a tragedy that can only happen in novels." ”

"It's a tragedy. Doris sighed, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "We are not sure that this is the difference in willpower, or just because they have been controlled for too long, and no one dares to try, after all, everyone's strength is about the same, and it is not difficult to pull someone out immediately if someone is controlled, but it is impossible to bind someone who is in a controlled state for a long time, it is easy to break free, and then that person may be able to say goodbye to everyone." ”

"No wonder. With a mocking smile on his face, Pannis made the same chin support gesture as Doris, and repeated with a smile: "No wonder. ”

"You have that in mind?" said Doris, bitterly, "but I have done nothing wrong. ”

"You really can't be blamed. Pannis nodded and said, "Anyone in your position will do that." ”

"What are you talking about?" Catherine asked, puzzled, "Can we listeners understand a little bit?"

"I mean......" Pannis suddenly paused, shook his head and smiled, "Let her say, I'm not going to be this bad guy anymore." ”

"Heh, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Doris said self-deprecatingly, "This matter should have been solved fifty years ago, but we have been delaying for fifty years, and now when the crisis is getting worse, we have started to take action, don't you think it's strange?"

"It's really weird. Lina nodded, "Why didn't you respond earlier?"

"Because we can't solve it at all. Doris smiled bitterly, "After countless experiments, we can only come to one conclusion in the end, that is, the current situation is unsolvable for the Sea Clan. If you want to find out the cause of the problem, you must go into the depths of the Devil's Sea, but it is impossible for any Sea Clan to keep the idea of wanting to find out the problem after entering the Devil's Sea. It's an endless loop for us, there's no way to deal with it, and we have to wait for disaster to strike on our own. ”

"Then ask for help. Lina pushed her glasses and asked, "Why didn't you ask the others for help earlier......?" Oh, I see. ”

"Oh, it's best if you guys can understand it, we can't trust anyone else. Doris lowered her head, unable to see her expression, but her voice was clearly not so pleasant: "For two centuries, the Sea Clan has been able to maintain a neutral posture because we have our own special world, which is separate from the land race. If we are now exposed to this crisis, once it is used by people with ulterior motives, it will be difficult to imagine the consequences, and it is likely to break the peace and comfort of the Sea Clan for thousands of years. How could we trust the people on land with such a serious problem? Compared to this, it is better to watch the situation deteriorate little by little, otherwise if something goes wrong, I will be the biggest sinner of the Sea Clan in 10,000 years. ”

"Although I feel very uncomfortable, I can understand your thoughts. Catherine said, "But now you ...... Why are you willing to ask for help again?"

"Judging from the frequency of increasing the expansion speed of the Devil's Sea, it is no longer possible not to ask for help. Doris secretly glanced at Pannis, and said with a wry smile: "Even if I know that it is irrational behavior, I can only choose to believe you." Although humanity does not have a good reputation in the world of Yara, especially among the long-lived races, I prefer to believe you. ”

"Looks like you believe in Mr. Pannis. Freya finally raised her head from the food and said in a muffled voice: "Sure enough, your vision is as good as mine, I also believe in Mr. Pannis, I believe that the relationship between us will always be sincere, the bond between us will always be strong, the love between us will not change because of interests, crises, greed, weaknesses, no matter how beautiful the scenery is along the way, I will always be the end of his spiritual journey, I ......"

"Bang", as always, the world is quiet.

"It's not just my brother. Doris smiled and sighed, "More because of the name of your adventure group, because of your prestige." ”

"The name of the party?" Catherine said in surprise, "Do you know Lord Nelly?"

"Of course we know, we're good friends. Doris pointed to Catherine and said, "She was sitting in your chair back then, and your choices are very similar." ”

"Nelly, she, she, what kind of person is she?" Catherine said expectantly, "Can you tell me about it?"

"It's very similar to you in many places, the same zeal, the same courage to sacrifice, the same help to the weak, the same pursuit of justice. Doris winked at Pannis, "Even some of your choices are exactly the same." ”

"Okay, okay, there's a chance to talk about it. Pannis interrupted the communication between the two with a straight face: "There is one most important question you didn't say, can you guarantee that people outside the Sea Clan will not be controlled when they enter?"

"I've tried it with people who don't know. Doris nodded, "Absolutely not." ”

"Then let's try it. Catherine decided, "I can't guarantee that there will be a result, but we will do our best." (To be continued.) )
