Age Of The Sirens

Tang Yi and Shuiyin went to the clinic and the confinement room separately.Tang Yi used an excuse to go to the clinic to review the healing status of the abdominal wound, and took the opportunity to walk up and down the clinic, even going to the underground laundry room.Everything was as usual, and no new guards were seen.The confinement room was built in the middle of the deep sea, a gray-black rectangular house without windows. Mercury hid in the seawater and observed it for a day, but did not see anyone entering or leaving.If someone is watching, at least someone should come in and out to deliver food, so quiet, it can only mean that the inside is empty.

The two of them made up their minds in the capsule and decided to take a look around the abandoned sanatorium before turning off the lights that night.

But the day failed, just before dinner, when Tang Yi whistled and Xie Wan was about to wash his hands, his watch suddenly beeped sharply, and the caller's name on the dial showed Qu Lan.

Tang Yi clicked on the call button, and a beam of blue light projected Qu Lan's face in mid-air.

"Vice-captain?"

Qu Lan went straight to the point, "Is Mercury beside you now?"

Tang Yi opened the door and took a look, then closed the door and said in a low voice, "No, he's in the lounge."

Qu Lan snorted, and then said, "You don't want to have dinner today, and report to the clinic on time at six o'clock."

Tang Yi blinked, "But I just did a review today."

"It's not a re-examination." Qu Lan seemed to be looking down at the document, "Did you forget that you haven't had hearing system reconstruction surgery yet? Mercury hasn't found you yet, it's a fate."

Tang Yi was stunned for a while.

That's right... He had long forgotten about the operation.

Qu Lan raised her eyes, looked at Tang Yi's bewildered expression, and said impatiently, "Is there anything else you don't understand? Or do you regret it?"

Tang Yi quickly regained his senses, and replied loudly, "I understand!"

Tang Yi opened the door and came out. He wanted to pretend to be nonchalant and continue to wipe his dagger, but Quicksilver, who was half lying on the bed listening to music, took off his earphones and hooked his fingers at him.

Tang Yi thought to himself that the spectrum of this sea monster is getting bigger and bigger...

After entering the sleeping cabin, Quicksilver asked him, "Are you going to have hearing surgery?"

Tang Yi nodded and sighed, "It seems that tonight's action will be postponed."

Quicksilver frowned habitually.Tang Yi knew that he was anxious to know the truth about Tang Ya's death, but he couldn't do anything about receiving orders from his superiors at this time.He sat cross-legged at the end of the bed, picked up Mercury's earphones and put them on, a sad moonlight sonata poured into his ear canal, "Can you stop frowning like an old man, you will have wrinkles at a young age. Don't worry." Well, although the day after tomorrow's vacation is completely over, there is still a chance tomorrow night."

However, what Mercury is worried about is not the secret mission of the two of them, "Do you know that the side effects of that kind of surgery are very serious."

Tang Yi took off the earphones and said with a wry smile, "I know I have to do it. I promised to do it before, but now I suddenly say no, isn't it too strange?"

Mercury was silent for a moment, "After Tang Ya finished the operation, she couldn't fall asleep for nearly two weeks. Once the human ears open that door, they will hear many sounds that do not exist for you. , that would drive a lot of other people crazy..."

"But didn't my brother get over it very smoothly? I remember the information said that he didn't have any serious sequelae."

"That's because they couldn't see Tang Ya's pain." Mercury lowered his eyelashes, "I don't sleep for ten days, I'm extremely tired, it's hard to concentrate, and I can't even distinguish between reality and dreams. He was so scared at that time. Like a child."

Tang Yi was silent.It’s hard to imagine the always calm and mature elder brother crying like a child... He wanted to laugh a little, but he was afraid of being beaten by mercury, so he controlled his expression in a daze, but the muscles on his face were so weak. A little distorted and stiff, "Then I'll probably be more like a brat than my brother when I come to me. Shuiyin, you don't mind being a nanny for two days?" Shuiyin grabbed the pillow next to Tang Yi and smashed it on Tang Yi's face. Feel free to joke!"

Tang Yi hugged the pillow, smiled meanly, his eyes were crooked, "I said, are you worried about your husband and me?"

The next moment, Tang Yi flew out of the sleeping capsule, and landed steadily with his butt backwards flat on the sand and falling into the wild goose.

The operating room was extremely clean, with pure white everywhere, Tang Yi was so embarrassed to lie down on the operating table.The operating table is movable, and when Tang Yi loses consciousness, his body will be turned sideways for the doctor to perform the operation.As soon as Tang Yi lay down, he was very familiar with the big Indian eyes of the doctor wearing a mask who came in.

"Eh...Raj"

The doctor raised his eyebrows, "So it was you."

"Why did you come to the team's hospital?"

"I was only temporarily transferred to operate on you." Raj still said in his lazy tone, while directing the nurse to help him adjust the angle of the surgical light above his head, "Why can't you think about doing this kind of operation?"

Tang Yi looked at him speechlessly, "Won't you, a doctor, be reported for saying such things before a patient's operation?"

Raj's eyes curved slightly, "They dare not."

Tang Yi shut up...Are all doctors as obsessed as Raj and Tan Mingyuan?

"Don't worry, my technique is very good. When you wake up, you can hear the sound of hell." As soon as he finished speaking, a nurse put a mask on his face and let him inhale the anesthetic.Tang Yi's last thought was that this person's negative energy was simply against the sky, and his consciousness quickly became blurred, and the light of the operating table turned into a thin mist and swallowed him up.

The next morning, what pulled Tang Yi out of his coma was an ear-piercing noise.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and what he saw was the ceiling that changed into blue sky and white clouds.It was as if there were countless people beating gongs and drums around him... No, this description is not exact, he couldn't tell what the sound was, but many different thin tones twisted together and passed into his ears continuously, as if A hand with long nails was scratching his skull in the brain.He said in a low voice, "Don't make noise..."

But that didn't stop the noise.

He sat up suddenly, only to find that he was lying in an empty ward, the dim morning sun poured in from the window, and the window was closed.

Goosebumps suddenly spread all over his body, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

what happened?Why is it so noisy?

Tang Yi covered his ears and got up from the bed staggeringly, wanting to open the door of the ward to see who was making noise outside.But the door opened by itself.

At that moment, the noise was suddenly more complicated than before, and it was also slightly strengthened.Tang Yi took a step back, the voice made him a little scared.

That sound is like the feeling of thousands of insects crawling on the skin like thousands of insects with their cilia.What kind of thing would make such a sound?It's just... so disgusting...

It was Raj who came in. Seeing his pale face, he smiled knowingly, "How does it feel to hear the infrasound?"

Raj's voice rose from the scalp-numbing tinnitus, but to Tang Yi, it was a little light like a layer of veil.He shook his head a little dullly, "It's so noisy...let them be quiet..."

Raj looked around, "There's not even a cough here, who are you quieting?"

Tang Yi frowned into a knot, supported the nearest cabinet with one hand, and beat his buzzing head vigorously with the other, "It's so uncomfortable... What's that sound?"

"I haven't heard it with my own ears, but after the surgery, you can hear sounds from a minimum of 1 Hz to a maximum of 150 kHz, which surpasses the hearing of elephants and dolphins, and is as good as the ears of sirens. Yes, even sharper than their ears, because the protection mechanism evolved by the sea monsters allows them to easily filter out unwanted sounds. But you, a human, can't. So..." He took out an injection, "This thing, injected once a day before bed, reduces those low-pressure ambient infrasounds and ultrasounds that you hear throughout the day."

Tang Yi grabbed the injection and immediately injected it into his own blood vessel. After 1 minute, those noises gradually weakened.Although it still persists like Xiwei's tinnitus, it is not as difficult to think as before.

Feeling dizzy and nauseated for a while, Tang Yi's body swayed, and he quickly supported the cabinet to stabilize his body. Raj smiled nonchalantly, and handed him a box of injections, "Come to the clinic to get it if you don't have enough. Remember, this injection can be used at most twice a day, and exceeding the dose will cause a serious burden on the spleen."

After leaving the clinic, Tang Yi froze for a moment.The sound of the wind, the roar of the sea in the distance, every collision between the military boots of the training team members and the ground, the rolling of sand and gravel on the ground, the swallowing sound of a team member over there gulping water... everything, the most ordinary voice suddenly It has become very textured and layered, and even the sound of air flow is as clear as silk vibrating.These sounds and the noisy sounds that had been vibrating in his ears were suddenly perfectly combined, forming an extremely rich and vast world of sounds in an instant.

Tang Yi was shocked.He couldn't understand the world that this hearing brought him into, just as it was impossible for people in the three-dimensional world to understand the faces in the four-dimensional world.He felt a little frightened, like a child who had been wrapped in swaddling clothes was suddenly thrown into an empty world, surrounded by monsters he couldn't understand.He felt so bewildered that he couldn't even move his feet.

The feeling of panic captured him, and the roar of the sea in the distance was particularly magnificent and terrifying.The water droplets colliding with the sand in the waves, the rolling and tearing, and the mournful cry of being smashed to pieces on the beach, the sigh-like sound of some unknown meaning spreading from the deepest part of the abyss...

In addition, he can even hear voices coming from himself.

The blood was rushing in the blood vessels, the heart was beating in panic, and the stomach was contracting sharply.

He froze for a while, already starting to attract the attention of some people around him.He told himself he had to move his legs, but his body froze.

Is this the real sound of this world?Did my brother feel the same fear after the surgery?Tang Yi now only feels that he wants to find a place to hide, a place where there is no sound...

At this time, a hand gently wrapped his shoulders.

When he turned his head, he saw Mercury appearing beside him, the wind blew up the broken hair on his forehead, and his gaze was as deep and peaceful as the moonlight.

"Mercury..." Tang Yi called out the sea monster's name with some difficulty.

Quicksilver nodded calmly, with a gentle tone, "Okay, don't talk. Come back with me."
