Age Of The Sirens

The olive branch thrown by the Equality Messenger to Quicksilver was obviously not accepted by the other party.Mercury's eyes looking at him were still as cold as the coldest universe, and the burning anger inside seemed like a star core about to burst.Tang Yi was still lying on his side on the ground. The effect of the medicine in his body hadn't faded and he couldn't move, but he was gradually getting rid of the mental influence Lee had had on him in a short period of time.He took a deep breath and told him to force everything that happened in the hallucinations into the depths of his consciousness, after all, now is not the time to feel sorry for himself.

What Lee said about Mercury's life experience gave him an extremely bad premonition.

This fox-like and cunning emissary of equality is definitely not a kind person. His "kindness" to tell the secrets of Quicksilver's life experience must be beneficial to the rebels, or some of his own ulterior secrets.He was waiting for Quicksilver's reaction.

Tang Yi thought of the image he saw in the abyss before, and somehow felt that all of this was colluded.

This time the underwater mission was supposed to be peaceful and peaceful, and it was just a few months with a group of scientists living under the sea.But ever since they left the control area of ​​the base, accidents happened one after another.And the weirdest part is that Lee knows all about it.

This feeling of being played with by applause is frustrating and angry, but also faintly fearful.I thought that everything that happened was my own choice, but in the end I found that everything was moving according to the trajectory set by others, and anyone would feel at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing that Mercury was full of evil spirit and hostility, Lee was not in a hurry. He leaned casually on a sofa that turned over, and ordered into the void, "Ogubugu, turn on the VR projection on the bulkhead."

In an instant, the originally clean and retro interior walls suddenly rippled like ripples, and even the oil paintings hanging in thick frames disappeared like smoke.Instead, there is a dark blue that is close to pure black, and beams of light that interweave and sway in the sea water.That was the scene outside the cabin of Ogubgu. You can see those small combat submarines hovering beside the huge water monster like symbiotic small fish, and the light scattered from the boats interweaves into a faint and blurred net.A little far away, you can see the rough and undulating towering mountain walls, which extend forward from both sides massively and thickly.

Tang Yi swallowed, feeling nervous for a while.At some point, Ogubgu had sailed into the trench.And looking at the width of this trench, it is very likely to be the Mariana Trench.

"Anyway, it's still a while before we enter the Challenger Abyss, why don't I give you a tour introduction first?"

Mercury's ice-covered eyes narrowed slightly, half threatening, half questioning.But when Lee saw that moment of uncertainty, he knew that Mercury would follow the trajectory he set, step by step.

After all, it is the mission that this poor sea monster has been carrying since before it was born~

"300 years ago, the sea monster first appeared in front of human beings, and provoked a war with human beings as a destroyer. At the beginning, human beings were as fragile as bugs in front of the powerful biological energy of the sea monster, with heavy casualties and severe injuries. Helpless. With the arrogance and sense of superiority in human nature, you actually made a request for peace talks, which shows how terrifying and advanced you sea monsters were in the eyes of humans at that time. Compared with humans who can only use technology to arm themselves, you It's like the gods who punish evil in myths and legends suddenly descended, with an unimaginably long lifespan, mysterious power in the body, beautiful and terrifying singing, and the ability to control the deep and unpredictable sea as a weapon. The peace talks were requested to be After refusing, you managed to unite the fighting human nations and fight for the survival of mankind. However, it seems to be of no use." Lee smiled jokingly, as if he was not a human being himself, "Hai The demon still beats humans to pieces. If it weren't for your bad luck, I'm afraid it's not you who are kept as pets in captivity, but maybe we are."

Quicksilver stared at him unmoved.It is true that this distant story has also been circulated among sea monsters for a while.But most of the sea monsters just talk about it as myths and legends, secretly lamenting whether they would be able to live freely in the vast ocean now if they hadn't launched a war against humans rashly.But after all, they grew up in a breeding barn. They were constantly instilled with the message of loyalty to humans when their consciousness was still asleep, and they were bound to specific humans before they awakened. There is no way to imagine what freedom is.

It's too ethereal, even a little scary.The sea monsters have no way to imagine what life would be like without humans and masters.The thought of being separated from the master is as painful as tearing Xin Shengsheng in two.They don't want to be free.

But there is always a distant and erratic voice questioning in the bottom of Mercury's heart, is this really the only choice?

Doesn't the so-called "infatuation" hang on every sea monster like an invisible slave shackle?They have never chosen someone to fall in love with, even if their master is an abusive pervert, even if their master hates them, even if they are kicked away a hundred times, they still have to do their best to love and stick themselves to him.Is this really happiness?

Quicksilver has seen many sea monsters who returned to the Siren Hall to recuperate. They were beaten black and blue by their masters and abused in unspeakable ways.He had also seen a siren in the convalescent hall who was suffering from depression because his master fell in love with another human woman and stroked his master's photo with his empty eyes every day.He has also seen those sea monsters whose masters died after a hundred years of age, but themselves were imprisoned in the sea monster's long life and gradually withered until they were finally devoured by despair and committed suicide.He looked at the faces distorted by pain with the usual indifference, and then asked himself in his heart: Is this also his fate?

Even if he loves Tang Ya, even if he is willing to die for Tang Ya, even if Tang Ya treats him very well and never makes things difficult for him, why does he feel unwilling?

Lee snapped his fingers, and immediately a service robot stuffed a glass of red wine into his hand. Lee moistened his throat with mellow wine, a bloody liquid slipped from his lips, and was quickly licked off by his nimble tongue, which was extraordinarily coquettish and evil.

"The Kraken had a leader at that time, named Chen Yuan. The biological energy of this leader... um... How should I put it, even an atheist would think that he is a god when he sees his power? The first base The sharp sword still has the video record of him threatening the human coalition forces to surrender in front of the Dubai tower, and then casually destroying half of the city. Tsk tsk tsk, that kind of fire burning behind him, and everything turned into scorched earth in an instant , even now it seems that all the chief wise men are creepy. With such a "god", how can humans win? But fate sometimes has a sense of humor. The biggest weakness of your siren is your writing The strict and unimaginable monogamy in the genes." Lee shook the blood-red liquid in the wine glass, and shook his head regretfully, "Chen Yuan, the king of the sea who is worshiped by all sea monsters as a god, fell in love with a human , or a hostile human being. You may have heard the name of this human being. Dermot Morris, a famous young general in the United States when the country was still in existence."

General Morris, Tang Yi remembered the name.

But didn't he die in the evacuation to protect Professor Noak during the siege of Dubai?

"Historical materials for the public record that General Morris died in the siege of Dubai. In fact, this is not the case. No one knows how Chen Yuan met General Morris, but the fact is that General Morris did not fight in that battle. He didn't die in battle, but was captured by Chen Yuan. I won't say much about the process. It was nothing more than Morris endured humiliation, gained Chen Yuan's trust, contacted the human coalition forces in private, and then lured him into the coalition's encirclement circle He is also the hero who assisted the coalition forces in locating the Kraken lair, and the coalition forces were able to drop Nuohong Death Potion to the Kraken army. In short, the result was that Chen Yuan was captured alive by humans, and the Kraken army was severely injured by the Red Death. The human coalition forces took advantage of the victory to pursue and use The nuclear bomb drove all the sea monsters into a bottomless trench, and then..."

Lee didn't finish his sentence.Quicksilver's gradually becoming loose and unsteady eyesight made him know that he didn't need to say the next thing.

Quicksilver had already seen residual images at the bottom of that trench.The memory of the last resentment of countless sea monsters who died tragically engraved in the dark sea water and hard stone walls will not disappear so easily.

Tang Yi didn't understand what Lee was doing when Balabala told historical stories for a long time and interspersed a lot of unofficial history. He vaguely guessed that Chenyuan might have something to do with mercury.The lifespan of the sea monster can reach 500 years, but the sea monster that was captured by humans 300 years ago has a very small chance of being alive now.

Thinking that sea monsters are hermaphrodites, could it be that... Mercury is the child born to Chen Yuan and the general?

That's not right either.If that's the case, based on the time when the Kraken awakens at the age of 60, Mercury should have awakened long ago.

Tang Yi saw Mercury's hands clenched with white knuckles behind him.This means that Lee's words really affected him.Tang Yi gathered his strength, put his shoulders on the ground, and sat up with difficulty.He stared at the siren beside him, and called out in a low voice, "Shuiyin, don't listen to his nonsense! This man's mouth is poisonous!"

"Thank you for your compliment." Lee winked at Tang Yi with a very happy expression, "But what I said is true. Not only that, I also want to tell you. In fact, I was driven into the Mariana Trench at that time. Not all of the sea monsters died. A very small part of them survived, gathered the remaining power, and built the last remains of the sea monster into a tomb." The eyes of the Equality Messenger spread to the end of the long abyss ahead, and were The wine-stained lips uttered a curse-like word, "The place closest to hell in this world has been calling, waiting for the return of their king and revenge on mankind."

Tang Yi deliberately mocked, but his voice seemed a little weak, "Hehehe, it seems that you, the former chief wise man, are not good at making up stories, and you want to use such a crappy unofficial history to drive a wedge between the Kraken and the base? You tried your best to deceive Mercury, and you plan to fool him like this?"

Lee shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, let's see it with our own eyes when we enter the Challenger Abyss."
