Chapter 62: The Prison of the Heart
"So, Sister Doris. In the impression of the girls, for the first time, Pannis sincerely used the name of his sister to call the high priest of the sea god: "Actually, we are all prisoners, we are all the same, we are all our own prisoners." ”
"Enough. Doris's voice became sharp and harsh: "Don't say it. ”
"Hehe, am I not right, dear sister. Pannis's language was harsh, but his voice became softer and softer: "We are all cowards, we are all the most cowardly people, we seem to be omnipotent, as if there is nothing in the world that we can't do, but when we know that we will be powerless, when we know that we are weak, we will find ways to escape, we will fall into a crazy situation, and we will not even dare to face our weak self, right?" When we commit an irreparable felony, we imprison our hearts and minds like a fledgling to hide in the eggshell of birth, as if it were the safest place, and even use death to escape, right? No, you are more serious than me, I dare not face the sins I committed, and you, you don't even dare to face this possibility, as long as you think of the possibility of guilt, you are willing to use death to escape, this is the reason why you leave the safety of your mental power to me to control, right? ”
"I said don't say it!" Doris let out a frantic scream, "Shut up." ”
Thousands of meters deep at the bottom of the sea, a fierce undercurrent suddenly set off. The girls could clearly feel that a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the seemingly calm seabed, and tens of millions of tons of seawater swirled and tumbled violently under Doris's fluctuating emotions, and the whirlpool rotated faster and faster, making it almost impossible for them to gain a foothold on the bottom of the sea.
"Are you trying to attack us?" asked calmly, not panicking, "Are you trying to kill us?" ”
"Whew, I'm not. Doris's voice lost its previous madness, and she trembled and said, "Please, don't say it." ”
The sudden appearance of the submarine whirlpool dissipated before it could take shape, and the violently swirling undercurrent quickly subsided as Doris's madness subsided, but when the sea returned to calm, the girls secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they once again understood the meaning of what Pannis had said that no race in the sea could compete with the sea tribe, and that they were invincible at the bottom of the sea.
"Sister. Pannis said softly: "Over the years, my pain, my remorse, although you can't feel it, but I think you can at least understand." ”
"Of course I do, you're my brother. Doris said bitterly: "Since I knew that you were still alive, I have not stopped collecting news, how could I not understand." ”
"I've already walked the road of escaping, and I've got endless remorse and pain all the way through. Pannis shook his head and said, "Sister, do you really want to go down this desperate road? You chose to escape this time, even if you got the best result by luck, do you think you will have the courage to face the second challenge that may appear at any time in the future? Wake up, it is still too late to understand that once you escape once, if you want to go back, you will have to pay countless times the price." ”
"Like you?" Doris's voice calmed down, "Like you do now?"
"Heh, you're right. Pannis smiled so hard that he couldn't see his mood: "Just like me, I am tortured every day by the prison I have set up. But even so, I want to come out again, do you still want to go in and take my place?"
"I don't want to, my stupid brother. Doris regained her former agility, but still asked a little fragilely, "Then what do you think I should do now?"
"I'm stupid, so I don't know anything. Pannis raised his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "Don't ask me." ”
"I don't really understand what is going on between you, but I think if you really want to face it, you have to make a choice. Seeing that the situation had calmed down, the girls swam to Pannis's side with water, and Catherine said, "First choice, you abort the mission now, we have found the Sea Emperor's Crown, the one you just mentioned...... Oh yes, Amphitri, that's how she uses this immune mind control to fight her enemies. So after you abort the mission, we will definitely go back with the crown, and you can use it to enter this sea area to find what you are looking for, so that you can rest assured, and we will save trouble, and we will no longer have to run around at risk. ”
"Unfortunately, this is not possible. Doris smiled bitterly: "The Sea Emperor's crown is immune to the function of mind control, and if it works continuously, it can only last for one day and night, that is, twenty-two hours, and this time cannot guarantee that I will find something." If I don't find it and I'm lost here, then the crown is lost again, and the fundamental problem has not been solved. ”
"Then there's only one last option. Catherine shook her head and said, "I don't know what will happen after we find something, and I don't know why you are so nervous, but I know that death does not solve any problems, no matter what is in front of you, you must always be the best prepared, and then face it head-on, so that even if you fail in the end, there will be no regrets." ”
"Although it is a shame that a person who has lived for hundreds of years has been educated by a twenty-year-old child. Doris's voice suddenly became serious, and she said solemnly, "No matter what happens in the future, I have to thank you, no, thank you ladies." ”
"Not including your stupid brother?" Catherine asked teasingly.
"Of course not, he's my brother. Doris said with a crisp smile: "He is anxious for me, and he should do it if he wants to wake me up, so I won't thank him for this kind of thing." ”
"But you still don't fully trust him. Catherine said, "Even if he is your brother." ”
"These are two different things, if I don't trust him, or the five of you, I won't give you the task to do, but this trust is only on my own behalf. Doris said, "And I doubt you, and I don't trust you, that you represent the whole race, and the two are not to be confused. That's the price of being a leader, even if it's a brother, even if he's stupid, even if your reputation and character are the best in the terrestrial race, still be suspicious. ”
"Hey, is it appropriate to say that in front of me?" said Pannis, squinting, "At least this kind of thing should be said secretly." ”
"Hehe, there's no need for that. Doris completely regained her former composure: "Let me out, I'm going back." ”
"Don't let go. Pannis looked up and said, "Okay, you're a hostage, how can I let you go back." ”
"Woo, brother, do you really want to imprison your weak and poor sister?" Doris said with a crying voice: "If this is your wish, I have no way to resist, I can only let you play with my sister's soul, woo, although my sister's ** ......"
"I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong. Pannis felt a few pinprick-like gazes on his face, and immediately lowered his head and prayed: "I beg you, hurry up, go as far as you go, thank you." ”
"Hmph, I don't know I'm afraid now. Doris's soft laughter suddenly gathered around the five people, and no longer came from all directions: "However, if I leave, if I encounter the situation just now, you are not very dangerous?"
"You can use cheating to save some effort, why not. Pannis shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't underestimate us, although we only have four legendary ranks and one silver rank, but if we really fight hard, the scene just now is not impossible to deal with." ”
The girls suddenly found that at the location of Doris's voice, the sea water was distorting abnormally, and soon formed a mermaid image condensed by the sea water, and Doris's voice came out of the influence: "Oh?
"Of course, unless there is a very special accident, I'm only silver. Pannis said, "You should understand." ”
"You're so attentive to them. Doris's water shadow covered her mouth and smiled: "Then I'll go, by the way, I'll give you a message before leaving, there is an island three kilometers to the north, a man with a broken leg and little strength, and it's still in the deep sea, I don't think he can escape from the range of five kilometers." ”
"Got it, you can go back quickly. Pannis waved his hand, "You can't get in here, you should be fine when you get out." ”
"Of course. Doris waved her tail goodbye: "I will rush back as soon as possible to prepare, I hope that the next time we meet will not be as an enemy." ”
"I didn't expect that. Pannith watched Doris wander away, and whispered, "You are willing to help persuade her, I thought you must be very angry." ”
"She's an employer, and an employer is everything. Catherine added in a whisper, "And isn't she your friend?"
"However, I also hid her existence from you. Pannis said, "I apologize. ”
"Hah, you're just trying to find the best time to tell us. Lina stabbed Pannis in the waist with a mace, "That's why you're calling her out at this time and letting everyone speak clearly, it's good for us and for her, right?" ”
"Hey, don't stab around, why are you starting to go crazy again. Pannis dodged Lina's attack and said, "And I didn't think so, I just wanted to be lazy." ”
"Really, I'm not being frank, I think the time is ripe. Lina stabbed even more vigorously, and after a while, even Vivien was involved, although it was concealed, but several girls looked very happy: "Moreover, what do you mean by being just a silver rank, Mr. Pennis, who is very attentive to us?"
"Ah, it's getting late, it's time for us to go. Pannis suddenly turned around and ran: "North, I'll explore the way first." ”
"It's just the silver rank, so it deserves to be bullied by a few of our legendary ranks. Lina took the lead, and several girls chased after Pannis: "Don't run. (To be continued.) )
