Age Of The Sirens

An underwater ruin that seemed to have been abandoned for at least 300 years suddenly lit up as if it had come to life.Behind those lights, is there anyone else?

Is it a person, or a ghost?

In this sealed place of death, even the most determined atheist's mind will be shocked.How many pairs of empty eyes are looking at them behind those pale lights?How many incomprehensible ravings are fermenting in those strangely shaped buildings?The line between life and death is blurred between those gently swaying jellyfish buildings, sprawling stone towers on cliffs and impossibly huge coral trees.Like a mayfly, Ogubgu floated up and down in front of these huge monsters with the undercurrent of the deep sea. All the soldiers in the submarine who saw this scene couldn't help but hold their breath.

The weeping movement of the Requiem sounds particularly eerie at this time, as if it is saving the undead that are invisible to the naked eye.The deep cold penetrated into the bones through the layers of bulkheads, Tang Yi shuddered, and then noticed the expression of Mercury... It was a bit like the appearance under the Guixu that day.

Lee paced to Shuiyin's side, looking at the scene outside with admiration, "It's really a magnificent city, it must have been a prosperous country once."

Tang Yi saw that Lee's attention had completely shifted to Mercury, and his limbs had regained consciousness. He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.With his hands behind his back, he quietly reached into the back pocket of his trousers, and took out a low-value world coin.Few people use cash in this day and age, but he always puts a few banknotes in his trouser pocket habitually.It was a habit he picked up after several years of guerrilla warfare.

He leaned against the side of the sofa, his hands were hidden by the back of the sofa, no one could see.He fumbled to roll the note into a thin tube, trying to keep a look of surprise, worry and vigilance on his face, looking in the direction of Lee and Quicksilver.He said that the thin paper stick was stuck into the keyhole of the handcuffs with his backhand.Fortunately, the rebels only used ordinary handcuffs, otherwise this method is really useless.

The paper tube touched the small bulge in the depth of the keyhole that could not be found without careful attention. Tang Yi pushed down the lock buckle cleverly, and slowly turned the paper tube clockwise.At a certain point, there was a slight click on the wrist.

Tang Yi continued to put his hands behind his back, and looked around calmly.Apart from Lee and Quicksilver, there were two soldiers guarding the door. The little cutie was out of sight, but he had seen the speed of that thing before, and it would appear at any time if he made a move.

The faint singing voice hidden in the infrasound became more and more clear. It was a language Tang Yi could not understand, and he couldn't tell whether it was a male voice or a female voice. It was more like an aria sung by many people, every sentence was sad and sad. .The voice was extremely beautiful, like a wisp of green smoke lingering in the cedar forest under the silver moon, it shuttled lightly and lingered.Tang Yi recalled the first time he heard Mercury's singing, which shocked him physically and mentally, and this voice could give him a similar feeling.

Amidst this voice, Mercury's ice-blue eyes were gradually covered with a layer of white mist, and the silvery white was still getting thicker.Mercury seemed to be captured by the singing, with an empty expression, empty white eyes, head slightly raised, white hair dancing without wind, and there was an electric current that was about to move and collided in the air, and the energy cyclone set off the hair on Tang Yi's forehead. Silk.

Tang Yi suddenly shouted, "Mercury! Have you forgotten Tang Ya!"

The sudden outburst of shouting caused the increasingly thick silver in Shuiyin's eyes to recede a lot.The patch of ice blue was struggling to regain consciousness. Lee frowned impatiently, and gestured to the soldier at the door.The soldier walked towards Tang Yi with a gun in his hand.

And Tang Yi was waiting for this opportunity.

The moment the soldier reached out to grab him, he suddenly grabbed the wrist with his backhand, turned around and slammed his elbow into the soldier's temple.The rebel soldier didn't even have time to react, so he fell to the ground in a daze. Tang Yi snatched the laser gun from his hand, and shot straight at the knee of the soldier on the ground.Amid the screams of the soldiers, another soldier opened fire on him.Tang Yi turned somersault on the spot, rolled all the way behind the sofa, and shot out with a wave of his hand, but it was aimed at Lee who was startled by the sudden change.

The shot hit Lee's thigh, and the blood instantly stained his trousers red.The man who had been talking and laughing freely finally couldn't laugh anymore, and fell to his knees with a cry of pain.Tang Yi pointed the gun at the Equality Envoy and roared, "Don't shoot!"

The rebel soldier clutched the butt of his gun nervously, but dared not shoot any more.Because Tang Yi aimed at Lee's temple.

In fact, Lee didn't have any score in his heart, far less determined and vicious than he seemed.Because the last time he held Lee hostage, those soldiers were going to sacrifice their Equality Messenger.This shows that for the rebels, certain goals must be achieved.In the face of certain tasks, even the leader can be sacrificed.

But now he and Quicksilver are behind bars with no escape.The rebel army should not give up their leader easily.

Tang Yi could only gamble like this.With a gun in his hand, he approached Lee a little bit, his eyes fixed on the rebel soldiers who were constantly gathering at the door.He stood next to Lee, looking down condescendingly at one of the three leaders of the rebel army who had humiliated him not long ago while sipping red wine and listening to classical music.Tang Yi seriously considered whether to kill him with a single shot.

Lee's beautiful eyebrows frowned because of the pain, but he laughed out loud.That kind of perverted laughter burst out of his throat, and Tang Yi's anger surged up.

"You really surprise me every time. Falling into your hands twice really makes me more and more fascinated by you." Lee's amber pupils, which are much lighter than ordinary Asians, have no evil spirit in them The slightest reduction, obviously lying at Tang Yi's feet, but still looking at ease.

Tang Yi was so angry that he kicked him hard in the stomach, but still felt puzzled, so he kicked him twice again. Lee curled up on the ground, the frail scholar couldn't bear Tang Yi's brute force, he couldn't even speak.

Only then did Tang Yi feel that he had let out a sigh of relief, but then his heart rose to his throat again.Mercury's eyes had been completely swallowed by that silvery white light, some kind of invisible cyclone swirled around his body, the shackles that imprisoned his jaw and hands trembled, and even made the sound of steel cracking.

"Mercury!" Tang Yi called out Mercury's name loudly. The current appearance of the sea monster made him a little scared. He was afraid that the silver thing would completely swallow up Mercury's soul, "Mercury! Wake up!"

"It's useless." Lee's voice came weakly from the floor, still with a bit of remnant viciousness, "That's what his instinct called him. When he wakes up, whether it's Tang Ya or you, it's just his mission It’s just an insignificant episode.”

The fear in Tang Yi's heart turned into burning anger in an instant.He picked Lee up from the ground, put the laser gun against his throat, and said ruthlessly through his teeth, "Take us out of here!!!"

"Leave?" Lee's beautiful jaw was lifted high by the gun, but he still said in a teasing voice that made Tang Yi grit his teeth, "Do you think we can still leave now?"

Tang Yi's roar made Lee's ears buzz and he thought, "You can't give orders! Believe it or not, I shot your beautiful head off!"

However, at this time, screams came from the distance of the submarine.

It was the screams of the rebel soldiers.

Then there was another sound, and another sound... one after another, and it seemed to be approaching here quickly.

The lights in the room began to flicker on and off, the energy in the air became more and more intense, and there was even a sharp touch of static electricity flowing on the skin.A gloomy, oppressive and extremely cold feeling is approaching from a distance, it is the darkness that is gradually invading.

Tang Yi couldn't understand what happened.But looking at the scene outside the submarine reflected on the bulkhead, he knew it must not be a good thing.

Maybe there's a ghost on board...

A few soldiers rushed over like shit, trembling and unable to utter complete words, "People... people have disappeared..."

A rebel soldier grabbed the man by the collar and shook it vigorously, "What disappeared, explain it clearly!"

"It's just that people suddenly disappeared! Just now Victor was standing not far in front of me, and suddenly disappeared! There are other people too! Something ate them up, but I can't see anything! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Already!"

Almost at the same time, the faces of all the soldiers outside the door were contorted by extreme fear, and even more than half dropped their guns and turned around and ran away.Tang Yi swallowed, and carried Lee closer to the door.All the soldiers' attention was on somewhere at the end of the corridor, and Tang Yi even saw their hands trembling.

These are desperadoes who kill without blinking an eye. What makes them so afraid?

Tang Yi finally found a suitable angle, and he could see the corridor outside the listening room.

Then he suddenly understood, the ghost story about eating people in the Mariana Trench told by the submariners of Blue Whale.

He understood why the five submariners who had explored Challenger's Abyss in the deepwater submarine were all missing, but the submarine was safe.

At the end of the long corridor in Ogubugu, many soldiers were running towards them.Behind them, there is nothing.

But the last soldier running suddenly disappeared.It was clearly there one second before, but suddenly there was nothing there the next second.It's as if... swallowed by the void, or as if it never existed.

Immediately afterwards, two soldiers ran wildly one after the other.Obviously something invisible to the naked eye is approaching from the stern of the submarine, and everything in its path will be swallowed.

If the state of Mercury and the underwater abandoned city I saw before are already incomprehensible, the current situation is frightening.Where did the devoured people go?still exist?

At the moment of being devoured, what kind of feeling will you have?Will it hurt?

The instinct to continue to exist made Tang Yi's mind go blank.At this moment, a flesh-colored thing suddenly rushed over somewhere on the wall. It turned out to be the monster that mixed the genes of Mercury and Leviathan virus.Tang Yi dodged the attack reflexively, but he had to let go of Lee.

The next moment Lee was gone.

The desperate cries of the rebel soldiers resounded throughout Ogubugu. When the invisible thing was about to perish, Tang Yi only had one thought in his mind.

If you die, you will die with Mercury.

At the last moment, he dropped the gun, turned around and rushed towards Quicksilver, hugging Quicksilver's waist tightly.He felt the breath of mercury enveloped him, and the power released from mercury made his skin burn, but he didn't want to let go.

He closed his eyes tightly, buried his head into Quicksilver's shoulders, and waited for death to come.

When the invisible devouring force touched the bodies of the human and the sea monster, they all felt a sudden weightlessness, their entire bodies were squeezed violently, and their internal organs seemed to be displaced.But this feeling is only for a very brief moment.

The slightly cool water wraps the skin, and the deep and long chant of the ocean can be heard in the distance.Everything is still, there is no sound of people talking, no screams, not even the sound of the submarine itself.

But Mercury was still in his arms, with a real, slightly hot temperature.He even felt the slender arms of the sea monster gently encircling his shoulders.

The handcuffs on the Kraken's wrists and the silencer on its mouth are gone.

Tang Yi hesitated, and slowly raised his head.He was the first to see Mercury's face, and those eyes returned to a light blue color, with a light water color and softness in them, staring down silently.

Tang Yi scratched the fabric of Mercury's body between his fingers, as if wanting to confirm whether he really existed.He suddenly realized how heavy his breathing was and how fast his heart was beating.In this exceptionally quiet environment, the sound was loud.

"not dead?"

Tang Yi looked around over Shuiyin's shoulder.They were in a tall and wide rotunda, the stone walls on all sides were carved with countless characters and symbols that he didn't know, and there were even many murals.Above the head is a semi-circular dome, with faint blue light penetrating through the stained glass of the window and weaving obliquely on the ground to form colorful shadows.The ground was paved with marble, flat but covered with thick sand and no footprints, as if no one had been there.

Most disturbing of all, however, was the fact that the rotunda had no doors or windows except sealed stained glass.

This looks like... the bottom of the ocean? !

But why is he able to breathe freely even though he is clearly not wearing an anti-pressure suit or a seawater converter?Why hasn't he been crushed by the pressure of the sea?Is he dreaming?Or already dead and in hell?

Quicksilver let go of Tang Yi suddenly, as if he felt a sharp pain suddenly, he knelt on one knee on the ground, the veins on his forehead popped up, and he clutched his hair tightly with both hands.Tang Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly hugged Shuiyin's shoulders and shouted, "Shuiyin, what's wrong with you! You don't want to be schizophrenic!"

"It's so noisy..." Mercury's brows were tightly frowned, and a strong headache hit him just now, just like the pain of being hit on the temple with a mace.He complained to Tang Yi, but he couldn't help softening his heart because of Tang Yi's panic-stricken and cute appearance.In this world besides Tang Ya, there is another person who cares about me so much, it's really amazing.

It is obviously impossible to respond to him anything, why does this human being care about him so stupidly?

Quicksilver pressed this softness back into the depths of his consciousness, and refocused on the current situation.He remembered that he had just lost consciousness briefly, and he seemed to see many things in a cloud of dreamlike smoke.But at this moment, I can't think of anything.

It's obviously a very important thing...

"My head hurts..." Mercury had the urge to grab the ground with his head.Tang Yi saw that his pained expression almost matched that of dysmenorrhea, and he became anxious, pulled Shuiyin down, carefully placed Shuiyin's head on his lap, and pressed his hands near Shuiyin's temples.He remembered that when he was a child, he would occasionally suffer from migraines when he caught a cold, and that was how Tang Ya pressed him.My brother's hands are soft and firm when playing the piano, and it is the most comfortable to press.

It's a pity that he doesn't have such delicate hands.

When he pressed like this, Shuiyin's body suddenly tensed up, and then relaxed a little bit.

The touch was so familiar that Quicksilver's confused mind almost thought it was Tang Ya who was massaging his scalp.He bit his lip in time and didn't call the wrong name again.

If you make a wrong call, maybe you will be beaten up by this kid... Quicksilver grinned silently.
