Age Of The Sirens

Mercury is in very bad shape.Tang Yi didn't know what they saw just now, and whether it was really a replay of what happened in the past.The two tall stone tablets standing nearby are also strange.In such a deep seabed, why are there so many secrets?

I don't know what else is hidden in the deeper abyss?

Tang Yi used the shooting function on his watch to quickly take a few pictures of the characters on the stone tablet. At this moment, a voice came from the headset, with some harsh noises, "Brother Tang! Where are you...?"

Tang Yi immediately responded, "Can't you track the locators on our bodies?"

Luo Wei's voice was intermittent, as if he was being disturbed by something, "Send...receive...intermittently..."

Tang Yi frowned, it seemed that there was still signal interference in the trench.When he was sinking just now, for a moment he really felt that he had passed through something, but he couldn't tell what exactly he had passed through.It's like falling from one side into the other.

"Where are you!" Tang Yi yelled loudly and repeated several times, Luo Wei seemed to be quite clear, "I...can be burned...nearby."

Flammable ice veins... Tang Yi roared, "Wait for us a while!" Then he knelt down and gently squeezed Mercury's shoulder, "We have to go back."

Mercury raised his eyes, but his usually clear pupils were now covered with a layer of confusion.

"I can't go..." Mercury's voice seemed to come from the bottom of his throat, with some hoarseness and uncertainty, "I always feel...something is calling here..."

Tang Yi couldn't understand what Quicksilver was saying, "Calling?"

"I need to go to a deeper place..." Quicksilver blinked slowly, as if possessed, she stood up and turned her fish tail to swim to a deeper place south of the trench.Tang Yi hugged his body from behind, but Mercury didn't seem to be able to feel it, his eyes stared straight at the darkness in the abyss.

Tang Yi suddenly understood the sentence that Mercury mentioned before: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Now he seems to really feel a disturbing vision, coming from the eternal darkness.He believed what the crew said, this trench would eat people.

"Mercury, listen to me. The water pressure here is too strong, even if you sea monsters go down, their lives will be in danger!"

But Mercury shook his head, "No... there's something... down there..."

"Mercury!" Tang Yi shouted loudly, "Stop making trouble! We have to go back immediately!"

Quicksilver wanted to break away from Tang Yi's pull, "Can't you hear me? Someone is calling me..."

Seeing that there was no way to wake up Shuiyin, Tang Yi slapped Shuiyin's face with his backhand in desperation, causing the Kraken's head to slam to the side, dizzy for a while, and the struggling movement stopped.

"Can you be normal! Do you want to be pressed into a pie by water pressure?!" Tang Yi yelled angrily.

Quicksilver slowly wiped away the blood on the corners of his lips with the back of his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, his anger jumped in the ice blue, his long tail slowly stretched, his white hair surged and flew in the invisible force, and the The twilight became brighter and brighter, and it looked a little dangerous.

Tang Yi suddenly felt that the mercury in front of him was a little strange, as if... possessed.

"What are you, you dare to order me?" Mercury's voice was loud and powerful, echoing endlessly throughout the valley.Those floating jellyfish seemed to have been greatly frightened and fled in a panic.Strangely, however, the light source did not disappear.On the originally dark mountain wall, sporadic spots of light like night pearls lit up, spreading out in an instant.The ground under his feet trembled at a low frequency, as if something was about to move.

Tang Yi was dumbfounded, what is going on?

Quicksilver in front of him was suspended in the air, his body taller than Tang Yi stretched out, his dorsal fin spread out like wings, and his sapphire-like eyes looked down on him.In an instant, Tang Yi felt that he was extremely fragile in Mercury, as if he would be swallowed by his anger at any moment.Tang Yi couldn't help but took half a step back, and called out uncertainly, "Mercury? It's me, Tang Yi."

Mercury raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile.

"I know who you are. It's a pity you don't know who you are." Mercury's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Get lost."

Tang Yi thought to himself: This game is over, Mercury is crazy.

Mercury turned around and rushed towards the depths of the abyss like a sharp sword. With that indomitable momentum, it was as if there were treasures in the abyss... Tang Yi was frightened by the sudden burst of mercury, but when he saw Mercury, he took a deep breath. After a few times, he finally had the courage to turn on the thrusters and chase in the direction of Mercury.The Kraken's speed was extremely fast. Tang Yi turned the power of the thrusters to the maximum, and felt that the entire shell of the pressure-resistant suit was creaking and crumbling.If the anti-pressure suit breaks at this time, he will be crushed into a persimmon by the water pressure within a second, and all internal organs and excrement will fly out.

That's the worst way to die next to drowning in a cesspit.

Tang Yi finally caught up with Shuiyin, aiming at the demon who hugged Shuiyin.The sea monster let out a long and angry howl, and the terrifying sound waves continuously reflected and echoed on the stone wall, shaking Tang Yi's head with cracking pain.He endured the pain and hugged Quicksilver tightly, "Quicksilver! Be sober! You will die!"

The sea monster grabbed Tang Yi's wrist suddenly, pulled Tang Yi's hand away easily, and pulled the tiny human being in front of him. His eyes that had become strange stared at Tang Yi. The distance between the two people was so close. , so close to a little ambiguous.

"What does my life have to do with you?" The question pierced Tang Yi's heart with a bit of malice, "You poor bastard."

Tang Yi felt as if he had been slapped hard on the face.

So many things have happened, and the two have gone through so much supporting each other.Especially after a night like that.

He actually called him a wretch?

Tang Yi's heart tightened for a while, and anger rushed to his forehead.He slammed closer to Mercury's face, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I have something to do with you! Just because I'm your master now!"

"I don't have a master!!!"

"You have! Tang Ya is your master! Have you forgotten your favorite Tang Ya!" Tang Yi closed his eyes and roared, but bursts of bitterness welled up in his throat, "Didn't you say you want to avenge him?" Don’t you want to find out how he died?!”

As soon as these words came out, the sea monster who was running away just now suddenly became quiet.Tang Yi opened his eyes hesitantly, and saw a emptiness on the mercury surface.

The anger that was burning in his eyes just now was suddenly withdrawn, and at this moment, Mercury seemed to have lost his soul suddenly, and his expression looked a little hollow.

"Tang Ya..."

Tang Yi smiled wryly and nodded, "Yes, Tang Ya."

The silver-white eyelashes blinked slowly, and his eyes gradually focused on Tang Yi's face. Tang Yi finally found some traces of mercury.

Mercury stared at his face, reached out and gently touched Tang Yi's transparent helmet, as if touching his eyebrows and eyes.

"Tang Ya..."

Tang Yi pursed his lips and decided not to refute, but just nodded, "Shuiyin, let's go back."

"go back?"

"Go up, go home."

"Go home..." Shuiyin chewed on those two words and nodded.

Tang Yi was afraid that Mercury's mind would be disturbed again, so he tied the rope that was kept in his belt for underwater climbing on Mercury's waist, and pulled him to swim up the trench.Just when he felt that he had passed through a certain plane again, he heard a strange voice in a trance.

It was like a sigh.

Tang Yi's body trembled, and he looked up, down, left, and right, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Tang Yi groped in the dark, probably swimming to the northwest.Mercury's spirit gradually recovered, and he suddenly swam in front of Tang Yi, detected the terrain with sound waves, and led Tang Yi quickly to the direction of the previous mine vein.The communication with Luo Wei and others was restored, and the blue whale took a total of three small submarines to rescue.Two hours later, they finally returned to the undersea base that had been preliminarily built.

Area [-] of the underwater exploration base has been put into use, and most of the personnel on the Blue Whale have been transferred to a more comfortable base.Tan Mingyuan conducted a detailed physical examination on Tang Yi and Shuiyin.During the period, Tang Yi mentioned to Ashes about the abnormality of mercury in the trench. After hearing this, Ashes looked a little dignified.

"This is not the first time." Ashes said in a low voice.

Tang Yi groaned, "Is he always like this?"

"Not all the time, only in deep-sea missions, sometimes he will lose control. He seems to have some kind of deep connection with the ocean. But after treatment, he has almost never had that kind of situation again in the past five years." Ashes looked Seeing Tang Yi's worried eyes, he smiled gently and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will give him a mental examination."

Tang Yi forced a smile, and the scene at that time reappeared before his eyes.

For a moment, he felt that Mercury's powerful and terrifying posture was not like an ordinary siren, but rather...

like...

God?

Tang Yi shook his head.How could there be such a strange feeling.In these days when religion is dead, only the base is the only belief.What is a god, how does he know?

An important researcher died, and the report was quickly sent back to the Energy Bureau, along with samples of combustible ice deposits and preliminary exploration reports.Two days later, the news was that the mission continued. After all, the large area of ​​mineral deposits discovered this time is an extremely valuable resource.The headquarters has ordered more mining workers and experts to join the mission, and the Blue Whale was ordered to return to another submarine to pick up more employees and mining equipment before returning.

After two weeks of going back and forth, the little hundred or so people who stayed under the sea will be trapped in the base.

Fortunately, it is still a shallow sea here, with plenty of underwater light sources. Corals, anemones, seaweeds and other magnificent creatures are all over the reefs of the coral islands. Seabirds skimming the blue sky.In the quiet deep sea, you can occasionally hear the distant calls of whales or dolphins, rippling with the beams of light leaking from the sea surface, like a song.In such a dreamy scene, I don't feel depressed and dull.If you are really uncomfortable, you can also go for a walk outside with diving equipment on board.

Tang Yi was still depressed.He knew that he was really looking for trouble, that he had nothing to do with others, but a weak ally.

But he couldn't help worrying about the quicksilver.

The sea monster has always been absent-minded recently, avoiding others far away, wandering aimlessly in the distant sea area, sometimes floating on the surface of the sea at night, looking at the starless and moonless sky alone.

Sitting in front of the transparent glass in the hall of the base, Tang Yi sighed like an old man as he watched the brightly colored fish swimming back and forth among the sea anemone bushes outside.

"Yo, hothead also has such sentimental moments?"

Tang Yi lazily rolled his eyes, and slowly turned his head, "Who is your hothead?"

Han Qi stroked the blue hair on his head, and with a rare cigar in his mouth, he leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window with a rich air and watched with great interest the silver figure lying in the seaweed in the distance, "I said, You probably broke up with your siren, right?"

Tang Yi raised the corner of his mouth coldly, "Break up? Do you know that the sea monster can't break up with the bound person?" He turned his gaze back out of the window and said quietly, "Unless he dies."

"There is nothing absolute in this world." Han Qi shrugged and said lightly, "Since the neural structure of the brain is formed due to hormone stimulation, there must be a way to change it back."

He does not mean that.Tang Yi's body trembled slightly.

"What did you say?"

Han Qi smiled narcissistically with a cigar in his mouth, "To be honest, there are a dozen siren corpses that have been dissected. What fascinates me the most is their brains. One day, I will be able to research a method to reverse the binding process." Not sure~ After all, I am a genius second to none~"

Tang Yi rolled his eyes, he was bragging for a long time...

However, if he can really unbind...does he have a chance...

He restrained himself suddenly.

He is a majestic human being, but he is not a sea monster, so why does he have to hang on a tree?

"But don't worry, I won't use your Mercury as a guinea pig~ But, you can always introduce everyone? I heard that your Mercury has been mentally unstable lately? Making new friends is also good for mental health~ "

"Don't even think about it." Tang Yi was so quarreled by this guy that he had a headache, he looked at the time and wanted to find an excuse to escape.But suddenly thought of one thing.

"Speaking of which, I have something I want to ask you." Tang Yi hesitated and asked, "You are a researcher, and you specialize in the study of marine life. You should know a lot about sea monsters. You know that when the ocean Where is the place where the Kraken's Lair was dropped into the Red Death Virus during the war?"

Han Qi smiled confidently, "I know~"

"where?"

"I won't tell you~"

"...You're itchy again, aren't you?"

"That's the confidential information in the sharp sword! Let me tell you, it's very dangerous!"

"Your father is the second wise man, you are afraid of a ghost..."

"That's true." He spread his hands and raised his eyebrows, "But will it do me any good if I tell you?"

Tang Yi took a deep breath and told himself to calm down.Don't compare yourself to hooligans.

Who made hooligans cultured...

"How about I...introduce you to Peacock?" Tang Yi knew that Tsuruta would kill him if he did this, but...he didn't feel any guilt at all...

Han Qi clapped his hands together, "Deal!" Then he leaned forward and waved to Tang Yi, beckoning him to come closer.

"According to the records, the situation at that time was actually a bit miserable. First, the army of the sea monsters on land was defeated one after another, and their leaders were also captured by humans. The old, young, sick, and sick sea monsters left in the sea originally wanted to escape, but It was forced into a trench by the human army like sheep. The red death potion was poured into the trench. No one knows whether all the sea monsters died. After all, no one thought about it... Anyway, there was no one The Kraken came up."

When Tang Yi heard the last sentence "no sea monster came up", he felt a cold current rushing through his body.

"Is the trench you're talking about the Mariana Trench?"

Han Qi's eyes widened in surprise, "How do you know?!"
