I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 131. 130. Deep Sea Sonata

The moving statues can be avoided as much as possible, but the moving giant underwater statues are equal to a series of strengthening buffs, and the difficulty of dealing with them increases linearly, causing a great shock to a witch like Rui Ji who has never seen the big world.

The statue is undoubtedly one of the strange stories, it does not exist in the narrow space, and it is difficult to affect the type of the world.They exist in this world, hidden in the corners of this world, waiting for the opportunity to move.

The iron fist of the warrior witch statue came too suddenly, and the whole sea water was shaken by the strange force brought by its punching. A large vortex was generated out of thin air, spinning at high speed above the ruins, and the broken gravel and soft seaweed were involved and oscillated. The feeling becomes stronger and stronger.

Originally the statue had its eyes closed, but with the almost fatal blow, it opened its closed eyelids, and the dark green light shot out from the gray-white stone, making Rui Ji's eyeballs sore and tingling.

The light seemed dim, but it had powerful penetrating power and deterrent power.Rui Ji faced the statue, accidentally stared at it, and his body immediately felt paralyzed like being poisoned by a snake.

She tentatively summed up some rules. As long as she looks at the statue, the body will immediately have negative reactions, such as body stiffness, dizziness, nausea, eye tingling, and nasal cavity pain.

A hot stream overflowed from the depths of the nostrils, and the fishy sweetness that was more pungent than sea water spread out.The deep red blood drops were diluted in sea water, and the color became lighter and lighter.

The nose bleeds repeatedly, the process of blood being washed and diluted by sea water.

The negative reaction was far more than that, it came quickly and quickly, the temples on both sides throbbed, the body's tendons, blood vessels and muscles had phantom tearing pain, the eardrum swelled, and breathing became more and more difficult.

The body is stagnant in place, unable to float up or sink.In short, she was fixed by the statue's strange sight.

The dizziness in his head made Rui Ji gradually lose his ability to think, his vision became blurred, and his hand holding the staff gradually weakened.Miss Udora wanted to break through the encirclement of the 12 giant witch statues many times, but the blockade formed by the witch statues was too tight, and she had no chance at all.

The combined magic power of the two is less than one-twentieth of a statue, which is still compared with the statue with the weakest magic power.Although it is not shameful to be defeated, the good deep-sea exploration is so embarrassing, it is really frightening and exhausting.

The statue of the witch dressed as a priest raised the tens of meters long staff, and the round object in the center of the staff shone with dazzling white light.The light beam was aimed at Miss Udora, who hadn't lost her mobility yet. She realized that she had become the target of the statue, and she used magic to protect her while avoiding it.

The beam of light and the vortex of the sea came from two directions, and the hard-working witch was sucked into the center of the vortex by abnormal forces.The vortex quickly turned into a seaspout tens of meters high, and Rui Ji watched his employer being taken away by it, his life and death uncertain.

She had more trouble on her side.

The backpack full of props fell off his shoulders and sank quickly. The abyss below was bottomless, and only the deep diving potion, recovery potion and holly wood staff were left on him.After the spiritual penetration and control imposed by the statue eased, she regained control of her body and opened a recovery potion.

The struggle just now had consumed a lot of mana, and she needed to replenish some energy immediately.

The familiar smell of toilet water stimulates the tip of the tongue, and the stiff body begins to thaw.Rui Ji didn't care about anything else, and went upstream while drinking the potion.She glanced back and saw that the statues were chasing her, and although their steps were heavy, they were not slow at all.

The role of the statue may not be as simple as she thought. It is only used as a sightseeing spot or decoration near the submarine pyramid and the concentric circle city. It is more like a solid line of defense to protect the city. Face image works the same.

Western witches have always been keen on building huge statues. The statue of the Witch of Christ in Rio de Janeiro will also move, as will the Statue of Liberty in the United States. It is not surprising that these underwater statues will attack foreign witches.

(Need to slip away quickly...)
Raj threw down the empty potion bottle and walked between the statue's attacks, desperately trying to swim upstream.The unfortunate employer didn't know where he was, and the two were scattered by this wave of sudden attacks.

If Miss Udora died unexpectedly, she might be held accountable by Snowy Owl afterwards.The reason is that she herself did not understand the situation beforehand, which led to the danger.

Being held accountable by the snowy owl is a slightly better ending, at least if you can go back alive, it will be uncomfortable if you can't.

(Suddenly understand why those diving enthusiasts rejected her.)
A ten-story-high trident stabbed down from behind, and a statue of a witch riding a seahorse showed fierce eyes, and his calm expression turned into anger, and some words were quickly murmured in his mouth.

Speech changed from blurred to clear and audible, a language that does not exist on land.

"The despicable land invaders must be obliterated—"

The witch statue keeps repeating the same content.

Rui Ji didn't know why she could understand the language at the bottom of the sea, and she wouldn't be surprised if anything outrageous happened, unless she could return to the surface of the sea smoothly.

Other statues also launched a continuous verbal attack on her.It seems that the souls of 12 witches are lodged inside, and the flexible energy drives the bulky bodies of the statues, making them flexible and free.

The voice of the statue of the priest and witch is cold, but the words are loud and impassioned, just like a witch orator who is pulling votes in the square.

"Are you going to repeat the 1000-year tragedy again? Take away our capital and burn everything? Or do you want to take away our remaining magic and technology, and make the remaining people your slaves?"

"I don't know……"

She couldn't help answering what the statues said.

Being able to speak at the bottom of the sea is also beyond common sense. When I think about it being in the world of witches, how weird and weird things are within the normal range, including the matter of being able to understand the language of the bottom of the sea just now.

The acceptance has reached the threshold, and Rui Ji is almost unable to digest it.

The witch statue surrounded Rui Ji in the middle, forming an almost closed encirclement.Their bodies blocked the faint moonlight on the sea, and looked down at the land witch from a height, showing contemptuous expressions.

"No need to understand."

The statue of the doctor and witch, who had been silent for a while, sneered.She tapped the ground with her staff, and Rui Ji immediately felt a shaking sensation similar to an earthquake, spinning 360° in the tumbling water, and dizzy for a while.

The witch statue was playing, and Rui Ji was driven around like a weak animal strayed into the territory of a group of wild animals.Although such behavior is a bit naive, the way of thinking of statues may be different from that of normal witches.

"I'm curious, why can you wake us up?"

The huge fingers of the doctor witch statue hovered in front of Rui Ji.The size of the statue is equivalent to 100 times magnification of a normal witch, and a finger of a few centimeters is several meters after magnification.

As long as it wants to, a slap can make Rui Ji regret the decisions of the past few days.

"Speak before you die, this is our principle. If you are interested, you may wish to explain your last words, and our historian will record everything. Hundreds of thousands of years later, a new batch of stupid land witches who come to explore will write in the historian's notes I saw this article on July 2023, 7 on the Internet, and learned that you were punished and died for taking pictures near the statue, isn't it interesting?"

"It's actually not interesting at all."

Rui Ji returned.

The chaotic and evil style and bad taste of this group of statues are not flattering. Since she can't escape for the time being, she plans to change her way of thinking and get some information about the deep sea witch family from their mouths to satisfy her boiling curiosity. .

A witch is a creature who is curious to death, and she must die to understand.

"Why do you hate the land witch? There is no record of this part in the history books. I don't know anything about it. Please tell me the truth."

The statue of the historian witch has the gentlest personality, wearing glasses tens of meters wide on her face, and holding a stone book about 30 meters long and 21 meters wide.Although it is a stone carving, the pages of the book can be turned freely.

She scribbled quickly on the book with a quill, her eyes languid.

"The land witch is really the same as before. She is short-sighted and narrow-minded. She can't even face up to her own history. It is really embarrassing to hide such important information from future generations. About 1000 years ago, the sea witch and the land witch broke out. In a fierce battle, both losers in the end, but the sea witches lost their faith forever...

You don't need to know too much, little land witch.Even if you know it, you can't change anything. It is an established fact that the sea and land witches cannot coexist. "

The stone-carved book closed with a loud "bang".Rui Ji was almost sucked by the generated water flow, his body was thrown far away, and he hit the cliff of the seabed heavily.

The collision shattered the Restoration Potion and Deep Dive Potion she depended on for survival.She tried her best to save it, quickly recovered with repair magic, picked up the thing and put it back on her belt.

Regardless of whether you can survive or not, you must keep the things you spend money on.

Face to face with a group of ghosts, Raj began to understand what it feels like to be indescribable in "Cthulhu Mythos".The faces of the statues are not constant, sometimes normal and sometimes distorted.

The stone on the face will be cracked, revealing the rotten and wriggling flesh and white bones underneath, and the twisted and weird objects protrude from the breach, soft and flexible.

The feeling of mental damage came back again, and before his mouth could make a sound, he choked on a few mouthfuls of sea water.The statues lost the patience to communicate with her on an equal footing, and the green-eyed warrior witch threw down the trident.

"It's about to end..."

Rui Ji complained in an unfamiliar underwater language, and her tongue went numb just after speaking.The torment she endured in the previous round was repeated again. Before the trident hit her, she completely lost consciousness, her body lost the strength to float up, and sank rapidly.

Before closing her eyes, the last thing she saw were 12 sculptural faces with various expressions.They are like gods who look down on all living beings, indifferent to the life that is about to wither under their feet.

The world in front of her was spinning, and the sea water was shaking more and more violently, as if it wanted to tear her weak body apart.

This world is beautiful, but also cruel.

Not far away, there was a figure running towards her with all its strength.

……

The warm sea breeze still carried the familiar salty taste, Rui Ji subconsciously took a few deep breaths.Salty and dry lips and mouth lack moisture.The paralyzed tongue and body gradually regained control, and the body is still normal.

A world without water is beautiful, and she never wants to take on deep diving missions in her life.

So why make it back to shore alive?

The vicious strange talk should not let her, the land witch who threw herself into the net, see a trident more than 100 meters long about to fall before she fell into a coma.

Could it be that everything that happened at the bottom of the sea was an illusion caused by deep-sea syndrome?
Hallucinations are not out of the question, and can explain anything the eye sees that doesn't fit common sense.

When she reached out to touch it, her nose was still bleeding.The blood was viscous and dirty, darker in color, like mud that was about to dry up.The hair is still wet, which proves that he has just left the sea not long ago.

The sky was dark, and the wristband on the wrist showed that the time was eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was only four hours past the evening.

Just as she was racking her brains to find the answer, the sound of footsteps behind her answered part of her doubts.There was a second person around, and it was the other person who brought her ashore.

Rui Ji turned around and met the eyes of the witch standing behind her.Long silver hair, blue eyes, and a slender body, exactly the same as the person I saw this morning.

It was the first time they had been so close.The first and second time we met, the witch left in a hurry, so that Rui Ji didn't have any chance to talk to her, and now it's the third time.

If a witch who is familiar with water and suspected of being a witch of the deep sea brings her ashore, the matter can be perfectly explained.

"It was you... who saved me?"

"Ah."

The witch nodded and sat down beside a rock.

"You accidentally awakened the guardian stone statues. They are dormant monsters, and they can think like a witch. They house the remnants of the dead witch heroes. Over time, the remnants and the stone statues merge into one, becoming what you see The way it arrived."

She has the face of a western witch, but she can speak fluent Chinese, probably relying on her appearance to judge that Rui Ji is a Chinese witch.The witch's judgment is basically correct, it is better to say that she hit by mistake.

It's been a long time since Rui Ji talked with people in Chinese, and he felt very nostalgic.

"Miss...thank you for saving your life, but why do you speak Chinese?"

"Because my paternal mother is a Chinese witch."

The witch's answer was straightforward.Then, she reached out to Rui Ji, wanting to ask for something.

"Is there anything else from last time?"

"what?"

"Golden, a little crunchy stuff, not particularly salty in taste."

"You said deep-fried dough sticks...not available now. Besides, deep-fried dough sticks are not eaten in sea water, miss, soaking in soy milk is fine."

Rui Ji couldn't help laughing at the strange topic.It's funny that the savior is most concerned about fried dough sticks instead of other things.

"By the way, are you a deep sea witch?"

Using a fire attribute spell to dry the water on her body, Rui Ji looked at the silver-haired witch's long wet hair, and couldn't control the obsessive-compulsive desire to help her dry it.Due to her unfamiliarity with her, she did not act rashly.

"I am a hybrid of a deep sea witch and a land witch."

The witch brushed her long wet hair, and answered in a casual tone.
