Age Of The Sirens

The sea water was much colder than Tang Yi imagined, and his hands and feet were a little stiff after swimming for a long time.The thick and slimy seaweed on the glass tree waved countless arms, sometimes wrapping around his body, as if trying to hold him back and prevent him from leaving.Quicksilver had just given him a breath, and he followed behind the siren and struggled to push through the dense seaweed and swim upstream.When passing by a seaweed thicket, he heard Quicksilver calling him behind him, "Tang Yi"

Tang Yi hummed reflexively from his nose, and blew out a string of transparent bubbles.

But almost instantly he realized something was wrong.

Hasn't Quicksilver been swimming ahead of him?

Tang Yi froze, and what Shui Yin said before echoed in his mind - "If you hear someone call your name, don't agree, and don't look back."

The figure of Mercury in front of him has been swallowed by the seaweed, and now only the ostentatious algae leaves can be seen in all directions.Tang Yi's body seemed to have turned into wood, and bursts of cold water kept blowing onto the back of his neck.Without turning his head, he could feel that there was something behind him.

He didn't dare to turn around, but he couldn't move either.His body seemed to be frozen by a cold current, and an unprecedented sense of fear suddenly engulfed him.

The stream of water brushing against the side of his neck seemed to be breathing... It seemed that there was something hair-like, dense and itchy, slipping down from the neckline of his shirt.The hair-raising touch made him want to scream, but only big bubbles came out from his mouth.

"Look at me..." It sounded like a sigh from the dark green sea water, accompanied by a crying tone, sounded close to the back of his head.

Tang Yi felt that those hairs entangled his hands little by little, and his muscles seemed to be completely paralyzed suddenly. No matter how much he tried to gather strength, his hands and feet were out of control.

"Look at me..." The strange female voice whispered to her ears again.Tang Yi closed his eyes, praying that Mercury would soon find out that he was not behind and come back to find him.However, the voice that was repeated in his ear became more and more rapid, whispering, and the extremely fast speed sounded very strange.

"Look at me look at me look at me look at me look at me look at me look at me look at me..."

But suddenly, all voices suddenly quieted down.Tang Yi thought it was finally over, but suddenly he heard another voice calling his name, "Tang Yi."

Tang Yi groaned in his head, almost unable to hold his breath.

That was Tang Ya's voice.

The elder brother's voice is very similar to his, but those who have been with them for a long time can still hear the subtle differences.Tang Ya's voice is slightly lower than Tang Yi's, and you can't hear it unless you listen carefully.

But Tang Yi was as familiar with his brother's voice calling him as the back of his hand, so it was impossible for him to mishear.

Could it be... is it really my brother's ghost?But brother is a human being, why is his soul here?

Tang Yi wanted to open his eyes, but an ominous intuition made him hesitate.

I always feel that when I open my eyes, something terrible may happen...

"Xiaoyi...does the apple tree bear fruit?"

Tang Yi's body trembled.

The apple tree in the orphanage... The distant and vague memory fragments are in full bloom, and nothing can be found in an instant.That was when the two of them were very young, about four or five years old. Tang Yi heard that the dead tree in the orphanage was actually an apple tree, which could bear big and red apples.So he often moved a small bench and sat under the tree, holding his face and waiting for the tree to bear fruit, so that he could climb up to pick it off and eat it.

Later Tang Ya laughed at him for being stupid, saying that a dead tree would not bear fruit.After Tang Yi heard this, he was so sad that he wiped away his tears for a long time.At that time Tang Ya watched him cry silently, and did not comfort him.

But early the next morning, Tang Ya suddenly woke him up.Tang Yi rubbed his sleepy eyes and said impatiently, "What are you doing... I'm sleepy!"

Tang Ya bent her eyes and smiled at him, "Xiao Yi, is the apple tree bearing fruit?"

Tang Yi snorted, "Didn't you say that the tree died!"

Tang Ya mysteriously dragged him off the bed and dragged him all the way to the yard.The moment the door opened, Tang Yi's eyes widened.

On the dry branch, several big and red apples hung.

Tang Yi still remembered how happy he was that day. He beat down the crumbling apple tied with a string with a stone, washed it clean, and took a big bite. It was crisp and sweet.He has never eaten such a delicious apple, and he will never eat it again.

Later, when he grew up, he occasionally thought of this incident, and then guessed whether Tang Ya had asked for apples from the principal, and secretly climbed to the tree to hang them.

The fine and dense pain spread in his heart, and Tang Yi couldn't hold back anymore and opened his eyes.Regardless of whether it was a trap or not, he would see his brother again, and he would say sorry to his brother.

He was always so willful, always refused to listen to Tang Ya's advice, always wanted to get rid of this twin brother who was always stronger than himself, wanted to get out of Tang Ya's shadow, and never said a good word to his brother.Until Tang Ya died, he hadn't had time to spend another birthday with his brother.Hearing that his brother had died, he couldn't even cry.

He is not a good brother.

However, when he opened his eyes, what he saw was not Tang Ya.

In front of him was a sea-monster-like...thing...with rotting skin, scales peeling off, and the bottom of the fish tail rotted so that only the skeleton and rotten meat remained, and a piece of intestines flowed out from the ripped abdominal cavity. On a face so thin that only a layer of pale and thin skin remains like paper, the eyes are two deep holes, while the long jet black hair on the head is extraordinarily thick, full of strange vitality, fluttering overwhelmingly...

Tang Yi couldn't help screaming, and the oxygen in his lungs quickly turned into bubbles and gushed out.He covered his mouth with his hands, trying to block the remaining oxygen, at the same time his feet were pulled violently, and when he lowered his head, he saw an even more terrifying scene.

Countless rotten sea monsters raised their hollow and rotten faces, and the algae leaves before had all turned into arms that were abnormally long and soft as if they had no bones, wrapping tightly around his legs, wrapping his He jerked downwards.Tang Yi felt that the oxygen in his lungs leaked out uncontrollably, and his body was quickly submerged by the countless soft arms, unable to move, and kept sinking.

"Save..." Tang Yi couldn't finish his words, and felt his mouth was blocked.Countless hands were pulling his body, and the heavy water pressure was oppressing his chest cavity.He knew that he couldn't hold on for a few seconds.Once he inhaled this putrid seawater, the alveoli would burst one by one.He will drown and die.

A huge wave of sound poured down like a tsunami, and the hundreds of dead sea monsters suddenly screamed in unison, but they lost to the huge biological energy of the silver-haired sea monster, and were instantly expelled.Mercury rushed down and hugged Tang Yi's sinking body.Tang Yi's eyes were closed tightly, but his eyelashes were still fluttering, as if he still had the last shred of consciousness.Quickly kissed him, and blew oxygen into Tang Yi's body.

Tang Yi's dying body suddenly got oxygen again, and he hugged Mercury with his backhand and breathed greedily in his mouth.Unknowingly, the kiss deepened, breath and saliva were exchanged, lips and tongue rolled and lingered, and the body was tightly pressed together.Tang Yi's consciousness came back little by little, but he hesitated not to leave this safe embrace. Instead, he hugged Quicksilver even tighter, sucking the breath from the other party's mouth more greedily.

But Mercury pushed him away violently, his cheeks opened and closed violently, his face was a little flushed, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.He turned around in a panic, only leaving Tang Yi with a distant view from his back.

Only then did Tang Yi realize that the kiss just now seemed a little erotic...

Tang Yi wanted to say thank you and apologize, but it seemed a bit difficult to speak in the current environment.Mercury took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a somewhat cold voice, "I told you before that there are too many biological energy left here, which will cause you auditory, visual and even tactile hallucinations. , will drown here. You must follow me every step of the way.”

Tang Yi was a little annoyed, and nodded lazily.

The area near the surface is covered with a thick layer of cyanobacteria, which becomes their cover.The ground floor of the abandoned sanatorium is a large pool, which is directly connected to the underwater sanatorium below.Tang Yi protruded a head of blue algae and looked out.

In the hall on the first floor, two humans and a sea monster are gathering to play cards, and the atmosphere is quite lively.

Quicksilver smiled.Originally, the sea monster was rather tricky, and it might be discovered.But now the Kraken and the human beings are all devoted to playing cards, without defense, he is sure to hypnotize them all at once.

Mercury began to chant with the lowest pressure infrasound. If Tang Yi didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't even be able to hear the sound of Mercury.Gradually, the two humans started to yawn, and even the sea monster seemed a little sleepy.He seemed to have noticed something, stood up and looked around, but suddenly fell down.

Tang Yi chose the green algae on his head, "Are there only three of them?"

Quicksilver nodded, "I just detected it with the sound network. There are still life activities on the second floor, but with that level of energy, there should be only one human being. It would be easy if it was Nolan."

Tang Yi looked around, "Will there be a camera?"

"This place has been abandoned for so long, and the circuits have been burned. It is not easy to install a camera. What's more, look at us now, can we still be recognized?"

Tang Yi lowered his head and looked, he and Mercury are now covered with green cyanobacteria, like ghosts, even his own mother may not be able to recognize it.

The two tiptoed along the edge of the pool and climbed ashore.Although all three guards were brought down, they moved very cautiously.The siren's hypnosis of the same kind is entirely based on the disparity in the power of biological energy.Although this sea monster is not the opponent of Quicksilver, its strength is considered very strong among the sea monsters, and if one is not careful, it may be woken up.Once they are recognized, even if they are only suspected, they will definitely be investigated by the security department, and things will be serious at that time.

The two rushed up the fire stairs to the second floor.The labyrinth-like octagonal building was empty, the ground was covered with thick dust, and some footprints were clearly discernible, probably stepped on by the guards and guarded people.The two searched their tracks and found a tightly locked iron door, which looked like a heavy double-layer protective door for mental patients.Tang Yi opened the small window on the door and looked inside.

The four walls of the room are covered with sound-absorbing soft cushions, which were made to prevent the mentally unstable sea monsters from harming themselves or forcefully breaking through the limits with sound waves. There is nothing inside except for a battery lamp. In the corner, sat a blond man with his head down.

"Nolan!"
