Age Of The Sirens

After Tang Ya finished her first sentence, she suddenly lowered her head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly for a while, but Tang Yi felt a faint sadness spreading through the screen inexplicably.The person on the screen paused for a while before raising his head again and smiling slightly.

"After I'm gone, I guess the Ministry of Security has found you and transferred you to the Kraken team? You should have seen Quicksilver, right? If the two of you are watching this video together now, I want to say something to Quicksilver I'm sorry. Your sudden awakening, including meeting me later, and then binding me were all in my plan. The purpose is to collect DNA samples from your body, observe your behavior patterns and personality, and at the same time subtly influence You instill suspicion of the base. My mission is to report this data to the Freedom League..."

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and instantly pressed the pause button.

... the Liberty League?

What's the meaning?Why did my brother report to the rebels?

Is it a slip of the tongue?Or did I hear it wrong?

Tang Yi pressed the rewind button and listened to it again, but he still heard the same four words.

After finishing this paragraph, Tang Ya paused again.I laughed at myself, "Yes, Xiao Yi, you heard me right, I am a spy placed by the rebels in the Kraken team. There are still five people like me in the Kraken team. I don't know if there are any left." The next few. Ever since I was in the orphanage, I have joined the rebels. Do you remember the old dean? He was secretly arranged by the Freedom League to take over the two of us. Choose one of the individuals to perform the mission close to the mercury."

The old dean...Of course I remember, that old man who is sometimes strict but also reliable and kind.He was... sent by the rebels?

Tang Yi suddenly began to doubt the authenticity of this CD.

Because the information is too illusory.First Tang Ya told him that he was a rebel, and then the old dean also became a rebel.What the hell is this all about?Besides, why did the rebels go to great lengths to get close to the two of them?

"Xiao Yi, what I'm going to say next may sound illusory. But what I said is true. After you listen to it, you will understand why I was so opposed to you joining the army. I hope that after you listen to After that, you can withdraw as soon as possible and leave the Kraken team. I don’t know if you have heard of the name Chen Yuan, but you have always been fascinated by the Kraken, so you probably know it. He is the leader of the Siren who attacked the human world 300 years ago , is also the "incarnation" of the god believed by the sea monster. He possesses unmeasurable and powerful biological energy, but was captured alive by humans because of the design of General Morris who was emotionally bound to him. Then Noak imprisoned him in a secret In the research institute, the diluted red death reagent was used to control his biological energy, and to study the source of his power. However, what the base did not know was that during the process of being imprisoned, a human soldier who guarded him produced a Deep sympathy developed, and even developed into love.

The name of this human soldier has never been recorded in history.His name was Qin Mo, and he was probably only 20 years old at the time.While he was in charge of guarding the sea monster, he also forcibly injected the sea monster with medicine according to the time.Looking at the beautiful sea monster tortured by the red death potion in the transparent cage every day, I couldn't bear it, so I would occasionally secretly replace the potion with saline, chat with the sea monster, and secretly bring some food or books from outside.Although Chen Yuan was very indifferent at first, and even had a strong hostility towards him.But after a while, the siren found himself dependent on this gentle man.Chen Yuan is the only sea monster known to have the ability to fall in love with a second individual, and he developed feelings for Qin Mo.

Qin Mo tried to help Chen Yuan escape.He successfully ran out of the research institute with Chen Yuan, and hid in different cities for more than a year, but he was caught after failing to get close to the sea.Chen Yuan watched Qin Mo fall to the ground after being shot. He thought Qin Mo was dead, so he forcibly released all the remaining power in his body, and died with all the pursuers.At that time, the energy he released was equivalent to two nuclear bombs exploding at the same time. Fortunately, the location of the conflict was not in the center of the city, otherwise the entire New York would be razed to the ground.

Later, Chen Yuan's body was recovered and stored in the Kraken Research Center in Noak.But Qin Mo miraculously survived, with half of his face burned.He changed his name and surname for a while, and then began to publish on the Internet what he had seen and heard about human beings abusing sea monsters and carrying out genocide. Naturally, he was banned by the government.The government at the time did not regard him as a threat, but his articles were still seen by some people and gained the first followers.

After the outbreak of the Leviathan virus, Qin Mo established some shelters, and his followers suddenly increased. This was the predecessor of the Freedom Alliance.However, Qin Mo has never confronted the government directly, which allowed his organization to grow quietly.

In Qin Mo's era, research on cloning technology was in full swing, and he was sure that the government would find a way to replicate Chen Yuan in the future.After all, if such power can be understood and controlled, it is equivalent to possessing the most terrifying weapon in the world.And he also left a last wish before his death - wait until the cloning technology matures, clone him too, so that he can meet Chen Yuan again, and let him rescue Chen Yuan and other sea monsters from human control, Fulfill the promises that were not fulfilled in the previous life.

Speaking of which, you can probably guess it, right?Why is mercury special?Why does the Ministry of Security attach so much importance to him?Because he is Chen Yuan's only successful copy.Human beings have tried to copy Chen Yuan time and time again after mastering more advanced cloning technology, but all failed.Even Li Jian once thought that Chen Yuan could not be cloned.But the emergence of mercury broke the deadlock.No new finished products appeared before or after Mercury.After learning of the appearance of Mercury, the Liberty Alliance immediately started to copy Qin Mo.Naturally, the purpose is not just to fulfill the last wish of the first leader, but to obtain the DNA sample of Mercury and find ways to instigate him.Because Chen Yuan had been bound to Qin Mo for the second time when he died, the mercury copied from his brain cell DNA is likely to have a subtle attachment to the clone of "Qin Mo", making it easier to control and bind. "

Having said that, Tang Ya paused for a moment, sighed, picked up a photo and brought it to the camera.

That photo was an old color photo, on it was a young man in American military uniform with a bright smile, his eyes were crooked, simple and gentle.

Tang Yi pressed the pause button and blinked slowly.

That young man looks exactly like Tang Yi and Tang Ya.

In other words, if the expression is included, Tang Yi is almost carved out of the same mold.

Tang Yi almost numbly pressed the play button again.

"The person in this photo is Qin Mo. This is one of the few photos of him left in the world." Tang Ya put down the photo, and stared at Tang Yi seriously with her quiet eyes, as if she was really standing in front of him. Just like in front of him, he looked deeply into his blank brain.

"We are the only two successful replicas of Qin Mo. After us, Qin Mo's remains were destroyed in a base bombing of the Freedom Alliance."

The remote control in Tang Yi's hand fell on the dirty printed carpet unknowingly, making a dull crash.

"The person who executed the clone of "Qin Mo" was a Lijian researcher who defected from the third base. Her name is... Tang Qing. It was she who brought us out from the Liberty League." Tang Ya chuckled helplessly. With a sound, the eyelids lowered.He raised his head again, looking at the camera with a tender nostalgia on his expression, he said, "Xiao Yi, we are not real twin brothers."

"Nonsense..." Tang Yi seemed to have forgotten that he was just watching a surviving video, and loudly retorted Tang Ya, "You must be kidding me! You have liked to laugh at me since you were a child!"

However, Tang Ya would not respond to his question, and just continued, "The data of the two of us is stored in the database of the Liberty Alliance, and now I will store it in this CD, as long as the machine you play the DVD has wifi burning function , when you run this disc, the data will be encrypted and transferred to your personal folder. The two of us are named 'ValentineProject'", Tang Ya chuckled, "It's a very appropriate name."

Tang Yi picked up the remote control on the ground and pressed the pause button again with trembling hands.He turned on the laser projection on his watch and opened his personal folder.There is a new unnamed folder at the bottom of the countless folders, and you need to enter a password after clicking it.

Tang Yi tried his and Tang Ya's birthdays, Tang Ya's name, his own name, and the name of the orphanage, but none of them were correct.He suddenly remembered the scores that were included with the CD, so he hesitated to input Bai Zhou's pinyin.The folder is opened.

The image of a person appears first.It was a woman about 30 years old, with a strict and elegant temperament, and a neat bun.She said in a cold and emotionless voice, "My name is Tang Qing, and I am the main person in charge of the Valentine Project. Today is July 2482, [-]. After five years of repeated attempts, today we finally got five surviving cloned embryos." ..." She continued to explain with many technical terms that Tang Yi couldn't understand, and there were five small human embryos floating in front of her, probably less than a month old.Tang Yi quickly swipe his finger to skip the first few files.In the middle, Tang Qing's expression was more excited than before.She said that although only two of the five embryos developed successfully, the two embryos are very healthy and can be taken out of the womb bottle and placed in the incubator in about three months.Tang Yi slid back a few more times.He found that Tang Qing's expression gradually changed from excited to a little more gentle.He saw her sitting in front of the incubator of two babies, gently touching the faces of the babies through the glass of the incubator like a mother.She even named the babies and added her own surname as if they were really hers.

Then, those maternal tendernesses are gradually replaced by worries.

When I turned to the last few documents, one document looked a little different.Tang Qing didn't come up to report the date and time as before, but "looked" at Tang Yi silently, and after a long while, she suddenly said, "They will take the two children to the 'Arena' next week, they They have to undergo rigorous training from the time they can understand, and then when they are ten years old, they will be asked to kill each other. Only the one who survives is eligible to be sent to the base to perform the final task of the Valentine Project... Is this true? ? Tang Ya and Tang Yi...they are just two ordinary children...they don't know anything..."

In the next few minutes of documents, her expression became condensed again, and she reported the status of the clone accurately and rigorously, and kept mentioning the word Arena. In the last document, she reported the status of the baby as a routine Then, he suddenly sneered and said "Fuckyouall" to the camera, and then the entire folder was automatically destroyed.After a burning flash, the unnamed folder was gone.

It burns after reading without leaving any traces.

Tang Yi sat alone in the dim light, staring blankly at the other folders flashing in the light of the watch.

He focused his somewhat empty gaze back on Tang Ya's face, and suddenly he was afraid to continue listening.

Cloning...Qin Mo...Tang Qing...fighting each other...close to Mercury...

Too outrageous, right?He was just a bear child who grew up in the orphanage. Obviously, the day-to-day life in the orphanage really happened, why now when he thinks about it now, it seems that he is separated by a layer of distant mist. Swipe and it will disintegrate.

Could it be that what is described in this folder is the life he was originally set for?He and Tang Ya are not brothers at all, but opponents born to fight each other for the right to survive?

So... was he the kid who was supposed to die?

Tang Yi didn't need to look any further, he could guess some things.

Tang Qing was reluctant to send the two of them into the "Arena", so she secretly took the two of them out of the Freedom Alliance base and placed them on the border of the base. After being picked up by the soldiers at the base, they mistakenly thought they were twins and sent them to the "Arena". The orphanage he was familiar with.

Then maybe the rebels tortured Tang Qing to extract a confession, or maybe they got other news that Tang Ya and Tang Yi were in the orphanage.But once they entered the base, it was very difficult to take the baby out. In addition, the two babies had already been registered in the computer system of Sharp Sword, and there would be a record once they left the country.So the rebels changed their strategy and sent their own people to the orphanage to control the two children.

Then Tang Ya was chosen to be the one to carry out the task.

Tang Yi didn't dare to continue watching that CD.He had heard enough this night, and after being out for so long, Quicksilver might start to get suspicious.He took the CD out of the machine, knowing that the best way to deal with it was to destroy it.But... After all, he hasn't finished listening to Tang Ya's words.

After all, this is Tang Ya's last words...

After thinking about it, he still put the disc in his pocket.

Even if Tang Ya told him, there are some things he still needs to verify himself.His hands were clenched into fists in his pockets, and his body suddenly felt shivering.After leaving the door of the small shop, the still noisy world outside suddenly becomes unrecognizable, and even the sky, which is colorfully dyed by neon lights at night, is far and dark like never before.
