Age Of The Sirens

Tang Yi called up the photos of the two steles stored in the watch, and looked at them over and over, but naturally he couldn't see anything.He wondered if he could ask Lin Maochen to help extract the characters inside with some programs, and see if he could find a similar language.Lin Maochen opened the language decoding program in his information base familiarly, scanned the characters inside, but was protected by the base from displaying it.

Lin Maochen immediately became interested, and continued to fiddle with the keyboard interface projected by the light and shadow.Tang Yi stared dumbfounded at this little kid who was afraid of chaos, his eyes were bright as if he had heard that a horror game had started pre-sale, and he typed a series of questions that he didn't understand at all in a pile of program interfaces that dazzled him. character command.After about an hour, Lin Maochen cheered.

"It's done! Fortunately, it's not a top secret ~ I can only watch it for 5 minutes, or I will be discovered!"

After making trouble for a long time, this daring kid actually hacked a server belonging to Lijian...

Tang Yi quickly browsed through the information displayed in the projection.That kind of character has been found in many abandoned cities of sea monsters, but after the sea monsters were fully domesticated, their own language was completely forgotten, so no one continued to study and decipher this lost language.

Among the people still alive, only Dr. Lazaro, who once worked as a researcher of siren culture in the sword of the first base, has a certain understanding of the siren language.

As soon as the time came, Lin Maochen immediately disconnected, and Tang Yi was busy searching for Dr. Lazaro's information on his account.As a former researcher of Sword, Dr. Lazaro has a high reputation in the first base and now resides in the North American continent.

Lin Maochen put his elbows on the table and held his face with great interest, "Where did you get these photos? I didn't even know that the sea monster had its own text!"

Tang Yi glanced at him, "Don't talk nonsense about what happened today."

"Don't worry~ I have the tightest mouth!"

Next, Tang Yi showed the photos to Ashes and Zixi in private. Both sea monsters said that they could not understand the words on them, and their expressions were ordinary, without the strange reaction of Mercury.In other words, not all sirens are sensitive to the deep sea and to these characters.

Why did Quicksilver look at those characters as if he knew them?Was it a coincidence that the tragic afterimage they saw under the trench?

Tang Yi always felt that something was wrong, as if he and Mercury were falling down involuntarily.

On the way back to his room, Tang Yi happened to see Quicksilver talking to a human in a diving suit in a distant place outside the window.

That is... Qu Lan?

Tang Yi frowned.What can Deputy Chief Qu say to Mercury?Why not say it to his face?He pricked up his ears and carefully distinguished the voices of the two people from all the infrasound vibrations, but he couldn't hear anything.

This made Tang Yi a little uncomfortable.

When Quicksilver came back, Tang Yi was sitting on the window sill absent-mindedly smoking a cigarette. The sea monster quietly glanced at him, said nothing, and went straight to the bathroom to dry himself off.The first district has just been built, and the artificial intelligence has not been installed yet, so there is no need to worry about being monitored, and the two of them no longer need to sneak into the sleeping capsule to discuss things.But it never occurred to them that they finally had a little freedom, but the two had nothing to say.

Tang Yi felt that this embarrassment could not continue.Sooner or later something will happen.

"What did you tell Qu Lan just now?" Tang Yi yelled in the direction of the bathroom.After a while, Mercury's voice came from inside, "Just chatting casually."

Tang Yi snorted and flicked the cigarette ash, "Why didn't I know you were a chatty type?"

The door opened, and Shui Yin came out after changing his clothes, but didn't answer, as if he turned around and planned to go out again.Tang Yi jumped down from the window suddenly and grabbed Shuiyin's hand.

"What are you doing sneakily every day! You've changed since you were in the sea!" Tang Yi's tone was not so much angry as anxious.He had a feeling that he was getting further and further away from Mercury.

Quicksilver looked up at him, with a slightly tired look on his face.He seemed to want to explain, but didn't know where to start.

"I need...to find something..." Quicksilver finally said with some uncertainty.

"What are you looking for?"

Quicksilver shook his head, "I don't know..."

Tang Yi held Shuiyin's head and stared at the sea monster earnestly, as if in this way he could detect the thoughts in the head of the sea monster, "Shuiyin, let's stop making trouble, okay? Tell me what you want to do, and let me At least I have a spectrum. If this continues, I will be driven crazy by you."

Mercury's wandering eyes finally focused on Tang Yi's face, his eyes were slightly soft, and his tone was like a sigh, "What are you so worried about me for? Have you forgotten what you said to me on the submarine?"

Tang Yi froze for a moment, "What did I say?"

"Didn't you say you want to empathize with someone else?" Shuiyin seemed to have a smile in his eyes.

Tang Yi felt his face turn red.He was tongue-tied, desperately trying to find a suitable answer, "I...what's wrong with me?! I'm caring about my comrades in arms!"

Mercury's fingers gently landed on the corners of Tang Yi's eyebrows, hesitantly outlined the corners of his eyes, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous for a while.Tang Yi didn't dare to move or speak, as if he was afraid of breaking the suddenly dense atmosphere.

"You said that your relationship with Tang Ya is not good. The reason why you helped me was mainly to stay in Siren Squad." Quicksilver said in a low voice, "If I have a way to get them to give you a new sea-monster Monster, a sea monster that belongs to you, would you be happy?"

Tang Yi's eyes widened slightly, and he laughed dryly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"As long as I look at you, I will unconsciously think of Tang Ya. What you want, I can't give you." Mercury's voice was like a whisper, and he put his hand on Tang Yi's shoulder and neck, rubbing his thumb as if lovingly Tang Yi's skin, "Don't you want a sea monster that hasn't been bound yet? You don't have to be your brother's shadow anymore, and you won't be mistaken."

"Enough!" Tang Yi slapped Mercury's hand away abruptly.

Mercury was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Tang Yi was suddenly angry.

"What do you think of me!" Tang Yi's eyes were bright, and there was a faint burning anger inside, "I don't need other sea monsters!!! I don't want other sea monsters either!!! I..."

He got stuck in the middle of his words.

what can i sayI just want you?

is that useful?

He clearly knew that Mercury couldn't be his, but why couldn't he control himself?

"You idiot..." Tang Yi finally cursed weakly, and rushed out of the door.

And Mercury turned his head slightly to the side, looking at the slowly closing automatic door, with a complicated expression that was hard to describe.

Seeing Tang Yi's gloomy expression, the people walking towards him hurriedly walked away until Tang Yi bumped headfirst into Luo Wei.Luo Wei grabbed Tang Yi's shoulder and looked at Tang Yi's tense face with concern, "What happened? Why do you look like you are going to kill someone?"

Tang Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "You still talk to me when you know I want to kill someone?"

Luo Wei smiled, and there was a bit of warmth and tenderness on his young face, "If I don't talk to you, I'm afraid you will really kill someone."

Tang Yi found that this kid always looked arrogant with people he didn't know well, but he was actually a warm guy when he got acquainted.Seeing his sunny smile, the entangled depression in his heart seemed to be less painful.

Tang Yi waved his hand, "Go, go drink with me."

The two of them had just walked two steps, when suddenly there was a loud bang from a distance, the whole hall shook violently, several ball lights hanging from the ceiling fell to the ground one after another and were smashed to pieces.

Luo Wei almost fell down, but was held by Tang Yi before he managed to stabilize his figure, "What's going on!"

Tang Yi accurately located the source of the sound coming from the direction of the second district under construction.The two of them immediately rushed along the corridor to the hall leading to the second district, only to find several researchers screaming and fleeing in the opposite direction.Tang Yi saw Han Qi who was also running this way in a panic at a glance, and grabbed him to the side, "What happened!"

Han Qi was still in shock, "Someone is bombing the second area!" Before he finished speaking, the loud noise and the dazzling flash shook the entire deep sea again. Several cracks spread.At the same time, a few ominous black shadows gradually precipitated out of the deep blue, spreading like dark clouds under the sea.

Tang Yi's first reaction was the rebels, but after seeing the solid and advanced silver shell of the giant whale-like submarine and the latest small combat submarines floating around the submarine, he couldn't believe it.

How could the rebels have such weapons?Even the third base does not have a few such super nuclear submarines.

Those small underwater submarines that are bombing the second area are hovering over the entire underwater exploration base like bombers.The members of the Kraken team have led the Kraken towards the direction of the second area one after another.Once the fragile defense wall between the second area and the first area is blasted, they will be swallowed by the sea water immediately.

Tang Yi turned his head and said to Han Qi, "Gather all the researchers immediately, put on anti-pressure suits, and retreat to the deep-water submarine parking compartment!"

Han Qi didn't want to do it. After all, he just wanted to run for his life now, so he didn't want to waste time gathering those scared old men.But Tang Yi stared at him so frighteningly and full of deterrence that he didn't dare to resist, so he could only shout, "All the researchers come with me!"

Tang Yi and Luo Wei looked at each other, and ran away in the same direction without saying a word.They entered the ground from the stairs, put on pressure suits and took weapons.Takumi Tsuruta was also there, and the three of them quickly and neatly finished their equipment and rushed to the second area together.

At this time there was another round of bombing, and Tang Yi seemed to hear the sound of broken glass somewhere, the sound of majestic water, and shrill screams.

Tsuruta stopped abruptly, gritted his teeth and ordered, "It's too late, retreat to the submarine cabin immediately!"

Tang Yi wanted to argue, "But there are still people over there!"

"The defense wall has been broken. People will suffocate to death within 1 minute in the sea water. Those people are already dead. The most important thing now is to protect the survivors." Tsuruta ordered coldly and firmly into the headset, all fifteen The team members and Kraken immediately went to the submarine cabin to prepare for emergency evacuation.

Tang Yi turned his head and shouted to Luo Wei, "You go first, I'll go over there to have a look!" Then he ran away without looking back.Luo Wei ran towards Tang Yi without thinking.Tsuruta looked at them coldly, cursed something in a low voice, and followed them.

Before Tang Yi took a few steps, he saw a terrifying scene.The sea water poured in along the corridor like a flood, roaring ferociously and devouring everything that passed along the way.Tang Yi immediately reached out and grabbed the raised pilasters on the wall. When the terrifying water pressure hit him, even if he was wearing pressure-resistant clothing, he would inevitably be knocked dizzy.The water kept tearing at his body, he gritted his teeth, and didn't realize that he was yelling meaninglessly, his fingers clasped the pilaster firmly so as not to be swept away by the water.He saw a figure in a researcher's white coat being swept past him like a wisp of duckweed, and reflexively reached out to grab it.Gradually, the water flow finally eased down a bit, he managed to catch his breath, and immediately checked the condition of that person.

But the man, with his eyes wide open and his mouth open at an unfathomable angle, was clearly drowned.

Tang Yi cursed in a low voice, let go of the corpse and continued to swim forward.In the hall closest to the defense wall, the remains of five or six researchers were floating in the sea water, hitting the wall with the water waves, and they were obviously hopeless.And a large hole tens of meters in length had been blown out on the defense wall, and the shattered glass floated like snowflakes in the dark blue, and the small black combat submarine flew by with a howling cyclone outside.Amidst the intertwined lighting, several figures in silver-gray anti-stress suits emerged from the sea fog.

Luo Wei suddenly grabbed Tang Yi from behind and covered him behind the counter of the coffee bar. Tsuruta Carpenter really gave Tang Yi a hard look, obviously saying: I told you not to obey orders, now it's all right!

Tang Yi pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, listening carefully to the movement outside.

Who are those people?Why the sudden attack on them?

Aren't there no rebels around here?Where are these people from?

Tang Yi and the others held their breath and did not dare to move.At this moment, Tang Yi and Tsuruta's sharp senses caught the voices coming from the headsets of those team members.

"Several deep-sea submarines tried to escape, but most of them have been intercepted by our side, one was sunk, and one submarine escaped."

One of the people who was very close to the bar spoke up, with a steady and lazy voice, "Continue to track down that submarine and make sure to intercept it. As for the rest... Is the target among those people?"

"Not found yet."

"Then don't keep alive."

Tang Yi felt stunned for a moment, such a light sentence was followed by endless silence.Only the roar of the explosion from afar spread along the water waves in all directions.

Mercury... felt himself trembling uncontrollably, but Luo Wei tightly covered his mouth.

After a moment of silence, the lazy voice reminiscent of a cat sounded again, "Come out."

Tang Yi, Luo Wei and He Tian froze at the same time.

Are you talking about them?

Or just testing?

They all agreed not to act rashly, but at this moment, a rustling sound came from above their heads, as if an animal was sniffing something.

As soon as Tang Yi raised his head, he suddenly met a face.

A nightmarish face.

The flat, rotting muscle-like face was covered with criss-cross scars. There was nothing where the eyes were originally, not even eye sockets, the nose was just two slits, and there was no mouth.It was squatting on the bar counter, with gills like sea monsters on its abnormally long neck, which was bent into a strange arc at the moment, staring at Tang Yi.

"What the Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

One minute later, Tang Yiluowei and Tsuruta were forced to kneel on the ground with their hands handcuffed behind their backs.There were several figures standing in front of them. Their helmets were pitch black, and their faces could not be seen.

All weapons on them were disarmed, and the muzzles of several laser guns were pointed at their heads.And the nightmarish monster just now squatted next to the only one who didn't hold a weapon, with webbed hands and feet, and a slender, hairless tail swaying slowly behind him, like an obedient pet.Tang Yi felt that this monster was inexplicably familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.And the human next to the monster walked slowly in front of the three of them, with casual and comfortable steps, as if walking in a garden, not in an underwater base with corpses floating everywhere.

Those feet stopped in front of Tang Yi.

Tang Yi swallowed, and continued to look at the ground.

After a while, the man ordered, "Bring them back to Ogubugu."

The so-called Ogub Guben was the name of a water monster in a lake in North America in myths and legends, but what that person was referring to was the huge nuclear submarine lying not far away.It is at least one-half times bigger than the Blue Whale, and it's a dense piece of darkness.Why haven't they discovered such a big submarine?Hasn't a sonar detection system been installed in Area [-]?

Tang Yi and the other three were escorted into the submarine. Those burly soldiers pushed and shoved them, roughly tore off their pressure suits, and conducted a thorough body search.Tang Yi endured the urge to blow his hair and let those hands grope all over his body. As a result, even the dagger he had hidden in his boot was found.

Next, Tang Yi was forced to separate from the other two.He was taken alone into a spacious, bright, beautifully decorated room with a retro style.Those sofas with cat legs, oil paintings on the walls, exquisite lamps and desks are full of retro and elegant log smell.

It didn't look like a soldier's or military room at all.

Tang Yi's gaze was fixed on a delicate golden pocket watch on the coffee table not far away.

He remembered seeing this thing somewhere, after all, its owner is not the kind of person who can be easily forgotten...

Almost at the same time, a hand came silently from behind, Tang Yi only felt his scalp tighten and his face was forced to lift up.The slightly widened eyes due to inexplicable fear met a charming face that blended the profundity of the west and the beauty of the east. The ruddy lips were curved, sinister and gorgeous.

"We meet again."
