Age Of The Sirens

Tang Yi's heart pounded heavily on his chest quickly and powerfully, and the words of Quicksilver were so clear that there was nowhere to escape.The close gaze of the sea monster's ethereal eyes made his brain work slowly, and he tried his best to search for an excuse.

"I'm living a good life!" Tang Yi frowned with an impatient expression, and stretched out his hand to push the mercury, but the sea monster suddenly pulled his two hands apart and pressed them on top of his head. It made him unable to break free for a moment.

Mercury stared at him with sad eyes, as if hesitating.After a long while, he suddenly opened his lips lightly, and a faint singing voice lingered from his throat.Like the smoke and dust dancing lightly under the moon, and like the quietly falling pearls in the deep sea, it is beautiful and quiet, and the love is deep and sad.The singing turned into an undercurrent visible to the naked eye, washing the entire space into the distant eternity, a blue sea, a huge silver moon on the sea, and dolphins dancing under the moon, making people dazzled unconsciously.

"Flying the other cypress boat, also sailing the current. If you can't sleep, if you have hidden worries..."

Although the lyrics were incomprehensible, they were very familiar, to the point that...it fascinated him.His brain gradually became stagnant and sleepy, all senses were captured by the singing, and even his vision gradually blurred, as if his whole body was only left with hearing, perfused and controlled by the singing.

"Worry in the heart is like a bandit washing clothes. Quietly speak and think about it, and you can't fly..."

The ethereal pupils in front of Tang Yi's eyes gradually blurred, just like everything around him.He felt that he was falling, but he was not afraid. His whole body was light and light, and he didn't know whether he was falling or flying.

The surrounding scenery is constantly changing, including the room of the Kraken team, the Kraken breeding hall in the training camp, the playground of the 305th unit, the bloody battlefield, the tavern where I often go to drink with my friends, Kabukicho always likes to put him The room of the prostitute who was the little brother, the depressing classroom of the military academy...

At last the scenery stopped, and he found himself standing in a long but extraordinarily tall and wide corridor.It was a retro-style corridor, the walls were inlaid with dark wooden boards, and on the dark green patterned wallpaper were hung some digital oil paintings of heroes and heroes since the establishment of the Third Foundation. Sunlight poured in from the narrow and high windows, illuminating A dusty cobweb hung from the frieze on the top of the bright wall.

The chairs and tables placed in the corridor seem very tall and big... No, I have become smaller...

Tang Yi blinked blankly, and took two steps back...

This is... an orphanage? !

There was the sound of children playing in the distance. Tang Yi turned around and saw a large group of children rushing towards him. He thought he had forgotten the faces of those children, but unexpectedly, when he saw them again, they were as clear as yesterday.Those were the kids who grew up with him in the orphanage.Tang Yi was thrown to the ground by that child, and another turned around and made a face at him, "The dean is going to show us a movie in the auditorium, come quickly~"

Tang Yi recognized that it was Su Han who was making faces at him, his best friend who had died in his arms.

Tang Yi opened his eyes wide, unable to utter a call stuck in his throat, he could only watch the vigorous figure of the child disappear into the depths of the corridor.Tang Yi felt that his eyes were sour and his tears rolled down, "Er Han...how is it possible..."

At this time, another hand was stretched out in front of him.Soft and fair hands, with short nails, are a pair of beautiful hands for playing the piano.

Tang Yi remembered this hand, and he followed the arm to look at the boy who had the same face as him standing in front of him.

"elder brother……"

Holding a few old music scores in one hand, Tang Ya looked down at him, frowning slightly, "What are you doing sitting on the ground?"

Tang Yi stared at his brother, tongue-tied, "You...you..."

"What about me, don't show such an idiot expression." Tang Ya grabbed his hand in disgust and pulled him up, and even helped him dust off his buttocks.Tang Yi opened his mouth wide and let the other party do his best. He couldn't help reaching out and poking Tang Ya's face.

So real touch...

Wait... This scene... seems very familiar...

It seemed that it really happened... In the orphanage, the director showed them a movie... He remembered this clip, Tang Ya pulled him up, called him an idiot, and slapped his ass.

Is he dreaming?

Tang Ya didn't seem to feel that Tang Yi had poked him, and she still looked at him with that mature and serious expression, "Come on, today is your favorite ancient movie, it seems to be called The Avengers."

"It's the Avengers..." After Tang Yi finished speaking, he realized that he had said exactly the same words as in his memory.

Tang Ya put on an expression of "whatever you want", and then walked forward, "Anyway, go quickly."

"Aren't you going?"

Tang Ya said, "I'm going to the piano room."

"You've been running to the piano room every day, what the hell are you doing?"

Tang Ya looked back at him and smiled.Unlike Tang Yi, he seldom smiles, but he also looks like Tang Yi when he smiles, his eyes will be crooked, "You will know."

This memory is a scene that now seems meaningless that happened two days before Tang Ya was selected by the Kraken team.If there is something Tang Yi remembered, it was the last time his brother smiled at him before he left.

A week after Tang Ya was elected, Tang Yi celebrated his birthday alone for the first time.In the past, there were always two birthday stars.Everyone was afraid that he would be sad, so they organized a grand tenth birthday party for him. The teachers personally baked his favorite chocolate cheesecake.Tang Yi still remembered that he wanted to cry while eating, so he could only lower his head and blink his eyes.It was also when he was sleeping that night that Su Han told him that Tang Ya originally planned to give him a song written by himself as a birthday present on this day, but it was a pity that he was selected by the team before he could finish it.

Tang Yi did remember that when he heard Tang Ya practicing the piano, he said, "Don't you want to be a composer, why don't you play your own music."

Tang Yi asked this question with a little provocation.Tang Ya's answer was also a little provocative, "I'm writing."

"Tch... It's been a year since I wrote it and I haven't seen you write it..."

Tang Ya stood up with a snap, and the piano stool was rubbed against the ground by his movements to make a harsh sound.Tang Ya stared at him, "What if I write it out?"

Tang Yi's stubborn temper also came up, "I will recognize you as the boss after you write it!"

"I was originally your brother."

"It was just written on a note hanging on our bodies (note, Tang Ya and Tang Yi had labels on their bodies when they were picked up when they were young, with their names and birth dates written on them), who knows if it might be a mistake Yes, we are equal!"

"Hmph." Tang Ya raised the corner of her mouth arrogantly, "Alright then."

So, Tang Ya really intends to play the song she wrote for him on his birthday and force him to admit defeat and become a younger brother?It's really bad.

But for some reason, Tang Yi secretly covered himself in bed and cried all night.He couldn't tell whether it was because of the jealousy and disappointment that his elder brother was chosen but failed to enter the Siren team he had dreamed of, or because of the empty heartache of the twins being separated abruptly.

"Brother..." A tear flowed from the corner of his eye, and Tang Yi felt his chest stagnate.Suddenly he found himself standing on the edge of a cliff, before him a black sea of ​​angry waves.The sky was low and oppressive, and there was a faint rumble of thunder in the distance.

He held the steel urn in his hand, and the cold feeling penetrated from the palm to the bone marrow.

Tang Yi woke up with a loud cry, and found that he was completely soaked and was sitting in a narrow sleeping capsule.The sudden narrow environment made him suddenly think that he was about to suffocate, he tore off the armor on his body, and finally took a breath.

He suddenly remembered where he was.As soon as he turned his head, he found that Mercury was sitting on the opposite bed, staring at a point in the void with a hollow expression.

"It's you...you actually created the sonic hallucination..." Tang Yi suddenly stopped, because Mercury's expression was not right.

"You are... Tang Ya's younger brother." Shuiyin sighed in a whisper, and then suddenly laughed.The laughter was broken and empty, and he fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

With a click, Tang Yi saw a silver pearl roll to the ground.There is a layer of soft and dense streamer lingering in it, telling the deep sorrow.Tang Yi was stunned, he saw tears slipping from the corners of Mercury's smiling eyes, condensing into pearls falling from his jaw.

Tears turn into beads... No wonder ancient books say that the siren's cry can move the most hard-hearted person.At this time, the silver-haired sea monster is still extremely beautiful, but it is so beautiful that it is a little unreal...

Tang Yi felt the deep despair emanating from him.

At this moment, he knew that what he said was useless.Once a lie is exposed, it will be futile to cover it up.

"Mercury..." Tang Yi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say or what to say.Seeing Mercury like this, he felt his heart throbbing...

He felt a little scared in his heart.It's gone so quickly... What will happen next?What will happen to mercury?

The siren who lost its master...is there only one ending?

He didn't want Quicksilver to end like that.

Quicksilver stretched out his hand suddenly, wiped away the tears, and let out a deep breath.His eyes were still looking at a certain point in the void, and he said in an unexpectedly calm tone, "Don't worry, I will help you complete this task."

Tang Yi heard a hint of ominousness in the words.He immediately sat up on his knees, "You...what are you going to do?"

Quicksilver didn't answer, turned around and lay down.A sigh-like voice came out, "Please... try not to let me see your face."

Tang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and his heart twitched.

The beds of the two of them are so close to each other, and the space is so narrow, but Tang Yi instantly felt that Mercury was so far away.

Seems like it's always been like this.Since he was a child, he dreamed of joining the Siren Squad and fighting and living with the Siren, but the selection team picked his brother away.Even now, he used this somewhat embarrassing and despicable method to squeeze into the Kraken team, but after all, there was a real distance between him and the Kraken.

Dreams are probably this kind of thing, which will make you keep asking for nothing, and continue to struggle with a smile.
