Age Of The Sirens

The physiological structure of the sirens determines that their emotions are fundamentally different from those of humans.Once an emotional bond is formed with a certain object, their pituitary gland will secrete special hormone substances, stimulate the brain nerves, and form neural structural changes.Once this change is formed, it cannot be undone, so the love of sea monsters is more loyal and stronger than that of humans. It can be said to be a mixture of love, loyalty, family affection and friendship.Being a couple for a lifetime is not difficult for sea monsters, and there is nothing worth praising, just because this kind of relationship is like this for them.According to statistics released by the Kraken Research Center of the Third Base in 2500, after the death of their partner, about 46% of the Krakens lost their will to live, of which 35% entered a coma and died gradually, and 12% took the initiative to commit suicide , 30% died of illness because of being in a depressed state for a long time.In other words, once the will to survive is lost, the siren's mortality rate is as high as 80%. ——Summary of Siren’s Physiological and Psychological Characteristics Volume [-] That day Tsuruta Takumi mentioned to him the topic of "losing the will to live". Tsuruta said that as long as Shuiyin didn't recognize that he was not Tang Ya, he shouldn't be that dangerous status.So after Hetian left, Tang Yi immediately called up the projection computer in the Mercury ward, accessed his personal folder, dug out the books on sea monsters that Qu Lan had passed to him before, and found this passage.

He read it several times and slumped in his chair.Thinking of Mercury's lifeless sleeping face, he knew that what he worried most had happened.

He suddenly stood up from his chair and wanted to report the mission failure to Qu Lan, so that they could come to rescue Quicksilver.But as soon as he reached the door of the room, he stopped.If the Ministry of Security knew that Mercury had lost the will to live, what would they do?

There are only two endings—sent to the convalescent hall to wait for death, or... Tang Yi couldn't think of the second possibility, but he instinctively felt that the Ministry of Security's attitude towards Mercury was very special.If Mercury loses the will to live, will he be sent to some strange research institute for dissection or something...

Thinking of this, Tang Yi shivered, and then withdrew his steps.

He wandered around the room for a while, then connected to the Internet, entered "sea monster" and "losing the will to live" in the search box, downloaded all the files he found, and flipped through them one by one.He was watching intently, when suddenly the screen on the head of the service robot in the room lit up, and it turned out to be Qu Lan.

"All the members of the [-]th unit of the Kraken team, please have a meeting in the conference room on the hospital floor of the security military region in half an hour."

Tang Yi became even more troubled. The cross-examination was inevitable, and he had to think of a way to deal with it...

An hour later, Tang Yi came out of the elevator wearing a neat military uniform, and bumped into Nolan and Rose.Neither of them seemed injured. Nolan called him affectionately, and patted him on the shoulder as soon as he stretched out his hand, "Yo! How's the hole in your stomach?"

Tang Yi pulled out a smile, "Occasionally, I still feel a little leaky."

Rose chuckled.

"Hey! Golden retriever gorilla!" Lin Maochen, who rushed over in a hurry, jumped onto Nolan's back as nimbly as a monkey.Nolan roared angrily, and spun around trying to throw Lin Maochen off, but the opponent's two calves were still tightly clamped.Lan Huang rubbed his temples as if he had a headache, "Little minister, little ancestor, you are just in time, can you please stop making trouble..."

Seeing everyone's relaxed and happy faces, Tang Yi's heart was like a heavy weight of lead, and he could barely pull out a smiling face.

"are you OK?"

Tang Yi turned around abruptly, but what he saw was a pair of dark blue magical eyes.The peacock looked at him with some concern, and the blue-green hair was swept across his cheek lightly by the wind.

Tang Yi pretended to be relaxed, "I'm fine."

The peacock looked at him quietly, then suddenly bent down slightly and approached his cheek.Tang Yi just felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to back away a little, but the wet breath slipped into his ear canal, "Did he see through your identity?"

It was obvious who he was referring to.

Tang Yi froze, just about to refute.But the peacock moved a little away and stared into his eyes, those blurred eyes that seemed to be able to swallow people's hearts reflected the panic in Tang Yi's eyes.

"There's no need to explain. I'm a sea monster. I know he will see through you. But that doesn't mean you have no chance. There are also sea monsters who have lost their will to live and come back to life."

Tang Yi stared blankly at the sea monster and then retreated calmly after finishing speaking. Tsuruta appeared from behind him and gave him a hard look.But Tang Yi was completely in no mood to pay attention to his provocation right now.

Is what the peacock said true?

After Dr. Tan also arrived, the tall carved wooden doors of the meeting room automatically opened to both sides.In front of a long round table in the conference room, sat a straight figure, with slightly tired eyes piercing through the dim light.

It turned out to be the captain Jiang Yanfeng.

Qu Lan stood behind Jiang Yanfeng and said loudly, "Come in."

Ten people lined up automatically in two rows, with humans in front and sea monsters behind.Tang Yi stood at the end of the first line, lowering his gaze slightly.

He Tian submitted the mission report to Jiang Yanfeng. Jiang Yanfeng glanced at it roughly and said, "This time we got a lot of information loopholes, and you did a good job. It's just..." Jiang Yanfeng suddenly became sharp and threatening His gaze was fixed on Tang Yi in an instant, "What's the matter with mercury?"

Tang Yi stepped forward, "Report to the captain, the mercury biological energy has been overused, and it is still in a coma."

"Excessive biological energy? Four and a half days have passed, why haven't you regained consciousness?"

With a somewhat menacing tone, Tang Yi pursed his lips, wanting to say that I am not a doctor, how would I know.But obviously, he didn't dare to say that.

"Report to the captain!" Tan Mingyuan suddenly came out and said, "This time Tang Yi was seriously injured by the out-of-control LEV34 variant in the research institute in order to save us, and Mercury exhausted his strength in order to hold him alive, and entered a coma to repair his body It is also one of the Sea-Monster's abilities, and I'm afraid it will take a few days to wake up."

Tang Yi was very grateful in his heart, he didn't expect Dr. Tan to stand up and speak for him at this time.

Jiang Yanfeng's gaze was still fixed on Tang Yi with some hesitation.He stood up slowly while supporting his cane, "Squad [-] is on vacation for a month, during which they are not required to report back to the team. Daily training will resume after one month. Tang Ya stays, and the others can go out."

Nolan and Tan Mingyuan glanced at Tang Yi worriedly, but they still filed out as they said.Jiang Yanfeng turned his face to the side and said to Qu Lan, "You also go out for a while."

Qu Lan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Tang Yi. After all, without saying anything, she obediently gave a military salute, passed Tang Yi by, and the door slowly closed behind her.

Qu Lan leaned on a cane and walked to Tang Yi.Those slightly drooping melancholy eyes carefully looked at Tang Yi's brows and expressions.

Jiang Yanfeng said, "You and your brother are indeed similar in appearance, but after all, a person cannot be the shadow of the other."

"...why did you say this all of a sudden..."

"Has Mercury noticed your identity?"

"No!" Tang Yi replied decisively, "If he recognizes that I am a fake, he won't try his best to save me!".

Jiang Yanfeng looked at him unpredictablely for a while, and seemed to think that what Tang Yi said made sense.He continued, "You should have guessed that Mercury is different from ordinary sea monsters. His strength and talent far surpass other sea monsters, and he still has great potential to be tapped. The Ministry of Security also attaches great importance to him. If He fell into a coma for a long time, and even entered a state of exhaustion, we have to report it."

"Captain, it's only been four days?" Tang Yi begged softly, "Maybe he'll wake up tomorrow, so there's no need to alarm the security department for such a trivial matter?"

The shallow wrinkles between Jiang Yanfeng's eyebrows deepened. He sighed, "I can wait for a week. If he still hasn't woken up after a week, I will report to the security department."

A week is...so short...

But it's better than nothing.Tang Yi stood upright and said, "Thank you Captain!"

"Don't thank me." Jiang Yanfeng smiled wearily, and turned around, "In private, I want to remind you not to get too deep. He has already been bound to others and will never respond to you Feelings. Sometimes you think that you are willing to give unilaterally, but in fact, people always ask for something in return. A substitute is not a long-term job."

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Yanfeng's broad shoulders, he seemed to see a trace of depression.

What nonsense is he talking about... What is emotional or not... Quicksilver saved him, so it's only fair that he wants to save Quicksilver, isn't it?

What's more, Mercury was also a very important person to his brother during his lifetime, so he could be regarded as fulfilling his brother's last wish, right?

Hmm... It must have nothing to do with feelings or anything, it's impossible for him to fall in love with his brother's sea monster, let alone a male...

"Let's go." Jiang Yanfeng waved his hand, "Remember, you only have one week."

After the meeting that day, Tang Yi simply packed his personal belongings into a small bag and carried it into the No. [-] intensive care unit.He tried all kinds of methods, such as shouting into Quicksilver's ear, pinching someone, pinching the face, pinching the arm, poking the stomach... But Quicksilver didn't respond.Just as he was straddling Quicksilver's stomach and was about to slap Quicksilver a few times, the door of the ward opened.A juicy nurse looked at him with her mouth wide open, "You... who are you! What are you doing!"

Tang Yi sighed and stood up, jumped off the bed, rushed over to lean against the door in two or three steps, condescendingly looked down at the big-eyed girl in pale pink nurse uniform in front of her, slightly raised the corner of her right mouth, and smiled wickedly, " Little beauty, come to check the room?"

The little nurse holding the military uniform in both hands blushed instantly, and lowered her voice a little at a loss, "Tan... the visiting time has passed!"

"I know~" Tang Yi tilted his head slightly, still using the "girl killer" smile he practiced in Kabukicho to shoot at the little nurse, "Little beauty, can you be accommodating? I am the sea monster inside. master."

"Master can't mess around!"

Tang Yi suddenly stepped forward and put one hand on the wall next to the little nurse's cheek.The little nurse who was caught by the wall was unable to react, and Tang Yi's elegant collarbone protruding from the collar of his unfastened hospital gown was dangling in front of his eyes. When he looked up, Tang Yi's eyes were slightly squinted with a smirk, and his heart was pounding. Plopping and jumping.

"Little beauty, do you know the relationship between the sea monster and its master? Let's put it this way, if I die, my sea monster will die for love~" His low and hoarse voice moved In the ears of the little nurse, she felt a little numb.She has just graduated from nursing school and was assigned to this hospital for two years. She is busy in and out on weekdays, and her boyfriend has no time to talk. When she meets Tang Yi, who is also a master at flirting with girls in Kabukicho, of course she has to surrender. portion.

"You said, he is unconscious now, and he must wish to see me by his side when he wakes up. Little beauty, you have such charming eyes, and you must be very gentle in your heart. Just let me accompany him? "

The little nurse has been fascinated by the hormones exuding from Tang Yi's body, and she is in a mess.She lowered her head shyly, "Then... only for this night, you can't shout and shout..."

Tang Yi nodded the little nurse's nose, "I know, little beauty, I won't trouble you~ Oh, by the way, can I trouble you to go to the vending machine to buy a pack of cigarettes for me?"

"You don't have to go too far!"

Three hours later, Tang Yi was sitting on the roof of the hospital building, smoking a cigarette depressedly. The city was brightly lit at night, reflecting the entire sky into a deep rose color.He bit his thumb irritably, and tried all kinds of methods, but Mercury didn't respond at all.According to the information found on the Internet, if the Kraken enters a coma due to the loss of the will to survive, the chance of waking up is about the same as that of a vegetable.

"Got you."

Tang Yi was so frightened that he almost dropped his cigarette. When he turned his head, the gorgeous peacock-blue long hair and neat military uniform turned out to be a peacock.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm coming to find you."

"Find me?"

"It's hard to talk in the afternoon," Peacock walked over gracefully and sat down next to him, "Do you still have cigarettes?"

Tang Yi raised his eyebrows, "You sea monsters still smoke?"

"Of course, we can do whatever human beings can do." Peacock skillfully lit a cigarette on Tang Yi's lighter. up and down.

"Tell me, how did Mercury recognize you?"

Tang Yi was speechless.How can this sea monster be so sure?At that time, he was obviously taken away by the rebels like Tsuruta?Could it be fishing?

He remembered that Mercury and this peacock had almost fought at the base of the Eighth Division, and he was a little worried that the peacock would inform...

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone other than you and me." Peacock stroked his messy hair and stared at Tang Yi with a half-smile, "Do you know why I hate mercury?"

"……do not know……"

The peacock lowered its eyes, and its always proud and charming face showed a trace of loneliness.

"Do you know that if Mercury hadn't woken up early and was not found by your brother, according to the original setting, he should be bound with Jiang Zhen."
