Age Of The Sirens

After becoming the captain, Tang Yi finally regained the feeling of being a platoon leader in the army.In addition to arranging the training of the team members, reporting to the Military Affairs Department regularly, evaluating the performance and loyalty of each team member and Kraken, he also has to be a father and mother, and is responsible for the maintenance and inspection of all furniture and electrical appliances in the dormitory.I have been so busy for two weeks that I don't even have time to go out on weekends.

However, he kept thinking about finding an excuse to go out once.He remembered that Tang Ya said in the CD that there were originally five detailed works like him in Siren Squad, and maybe the identities of these people were explained in the unfinished content.

Everyone else is also sad, but there is nothing they can do at the moment.Just anxiously waiting for the result of the interrogation of Tsuruta.But for some unknown reason, no commissioner from the Ministry of Security came to investigate.Tsuruta was kept in a confinement room, under strict supervision by soldiers from a detachment.

After typing the last word of the weekly training report, Tang Yi felt a burst of pain in his head.It was already two o'clock in the night, the twilight outside the window was heavy, and the dark sea lay at the end of the world, and the endless inaudible infrasound waves overlapped and echoed, blending into a strange and ethereal movement.

Once you get used to these infrasound waves, you will know that this is the truth of "silence", and you will no longer find it scary and unbearable.Tang Yi withdrew his gaze from the window and looked around the empty room.

Mercury hasn't returned yet.

Except for training these days, Mercury seldom came back to the dormitory.Tang Yi was not very happy in his heart, but felt that it was too uncool for him to inquire about Shui Bank's whereabouts all day long, so he just gritted his teeth and pretended that he didn't care about anything.

Anyway, the day after tomorrow is his birthday.

To be precise, it was his and Tang Ya's birthday.They don't know exactly when they were born, so they celebrate the date of entering the orphanage every year.The old dean had said it didn't matter who their parents were.Just knowing that their new home is in an orphanage, with all the other kids is enough.

But now Tang Ya told him that the old dean was sent by the rebels.

After watching the CD, Tang Yi started to find out the whereabouts of the old dean.He tried to contact several companions who used to be in the orphanage, but no one could tell the whereabouts of the old director.

Sure enough, I still have to finish watching the CD.

Tang Yi has asked Qu Lan for leave.Due to the change in eye color and the scar, he will go to Yandu's personal information office to update his identity photo tomorrow morning, so that he will have the opportunity to pick up the CD in the afternoon.

Mercury didn't know about this, and Tang Yi was worried about finding some reason not to take Mercury out, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry too much about it...

Tang Yi looked at the time, went to the bathroom to wash his face indiscriminately, got under the quilt and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he took the earliest public aircraft to Yandu.After queuing for half a day in the towering and depressing iron-gray building like a monument, I re-photographed and revised my personal information.Looking at the word "Tang Ya" in the name column, he wondered in bewilderment whether he would see "Tang Yi" on official documents again in the future.

After finishing his work, it was already afternoon, and he wandered aimlessly on the long and criss-crossing streets of Yandu.The tall buildings on both sides are all the same, with the simplest geometric lines, densely packed straight up and down.There are not many pedestrians on the road, most of them are expressionless like him, with empty eyes open, some are wearing work clothes, some are wearing suits and leather shoes, and some are wearing school uniforms, running around in this gray jungle for their livelihood.

If his application to the military academy had not been approved, what industry would he be assigned to now?Maybe it's a painter, maybe it's an ordinary worker in a production workshop, maybe it's a maintenance worker in a power plant, maybe it's a monitor of an information monitoring team.

He felt so lucky that he wanted to be a soldier, and he became a soldier.If he wanted to join the Sea-Monster Squad, he really joined the Sea-Monster Squad.How many people, it is impossible to do what they want to do in their whole life.

Just like Tang Ya, he failed to become a musician after all.Because there is no music in this world anymore.

So, what qualifications does he have to ask for more?

On the way, he saw a few mechanical policemen pressing a worker in dirty clothes to the ground, and there were several people watching, but of course no one dared to step forward to intervene.It must be that the security department received someone's whistleblower letter, and the loyalty value of this unlucky guy was probably deducted.Across the base's 210 sectors, this is happening every day.If you have evidence of disloyalty to the base, you can get loyalty points as long as you provide it to the security department.Conversely, if your loyalty value is lower than 10%, one day you will be taken away suddenly by the mechanical police and disappear from the world.

No one knows where those who were taken away were sent, whether they were dead or alive.

The man was yelling and struggling under the ruthless suppression of the robot police. Judging by his clothes, he probably had just left work.Tang Yi noticed that behind the chaotic crowd, a little girl about eleven or twelve years old was huddled in the corner of the wall, shedding tears in horror, as if she didn't understand what happened, and she called "Daddy".

Tang Yi frowned, and wanted to go over to see what was going on, but was stopped by a solid steel arm.The extremely emotionless voice of the police sounded, "Please do not interfere with law enforcement."

Tang Yi just wanted to say that he just wanted to see the little girl, but saw a robot policeman holding the girl's hand and leading her into the aircraft.

The child was wearing a clean and beautiful red dress, holding a teddy bear in his arms, turned his head and glanced at him blankly, and then disappeared behind the hatch.The man yelled, "Don't touch my daughter," but he couldn't do anything. After being shocked by the electric baton until he foamed at the mouth, he was also thrown into the aircraft like a beast.

Tang Yi took a step back and continued on his way.

He couldn't handle such a thing, and he didn't dare to.Once the loyalty value of parents drops to the lowest level, even children will be affected.These children are thoroughly brainwashed and sent to the nearest orphanage.Many of the children who have experienced that kind of intensive brainwashing have irreversible brain damage, and can only grow up in a daze, spending their lives like machines, working hard for the base.

Every time he saw such a thing, Tang Yi always had to work hard to suppress the suspicion in his heart.Even if there is doubt, it must not show the slightest bit.

He had a hearty meal at the noodle restaurant on Banqiao Street, and smoked a cigarette against the wall.A few wandering warblers came over to strike up a conversation with him, but seeing that he didn't talk much, they had no choice but to swear and walk away.He waited until it was getting dark before turning into the back alley.The little bar, which was only open at night, was dimly lit, and the calico on the sofa was torn to reveal the dirty sponge beneath.Occasionally, in the ambiguous light and shadow, a few figures gathered together in twos and threes to drink and play cards quietly. The bartender was wearing jeans and a sleeveless vest, with a cigarette in his mouth, and absent-mindedly wiping his glass.

On the surface, this small bar is just a dilapidated and ordinary hotel. In fact, their real source of income is smuggling and selling some "good things".At the same time, they also have a "storage room" that only a few people know about. As long as you pay enough money, even if the security department comes, they can't find what you want to hide.

Tang Yi knew this place because the bartender and partner here was one of his companions in the orphanage.

The bartender "A Liang" glanced at him and nodded casually.As soon as Tang Yi sat down, his partner put a glass of vodka in front of him with ease.

"Come to get something?"

"Ah."

"so fast."

Tang Yi grinned at him, and took out a wad of cash from his pocket.Fortunately, his monthly salary in the Siren team is generous enough, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to pay so much, "If you let me go, I will be squeezed dry by you."

Ah Liang put the money into his trouser pocket and yelled something in Korean.I saw the North Korean boy who was about [-] years old who was sweeping the floor rushed into the room behind the bar like a wind, came out after a while with a small envelope, and handed it to Tang Yi.

Tang Yi put the CD away, raised his head and drank the spicy wine in the glass, "Thank you!"

"Be careful, the wind is tight recently."

After leaving the gate of the bar, there were a few homeless men lying in the gloomy alley, and a few young people who were obviously a little high were laughing loudly.Few "serious people" care about these intricate back alleys. They are narrow, narrow and dirty, and larger than the main street system. Those "outside the system" poor people live in these places.

Tang Yi is no stranger to this place.Compared with those glamorous coffee shops, clear shopping streets and luxurious restaurants, he feels that it is more natural here, and even the different eye colors and scars will not attract too much attention, because people who are more "odd" than him There are plenty here.

He walked through the alleys, hoping to find a small store with a DVD player.However, when he was about to turn into another small street, he suddenly saw a pale figure disappear behind a red wooden door half sunk into the ground.

Tang Yi's heart stopped suddenly.

Although the other party was wearing a hoodie and his hair was covered by the hood, although there was only a fleeting side profile, it seemed to be mercury?

Tang Yi hurried over, but saw that the red door was closed.There is a crude neon tube above the door, spliced ​​​​to form the word "".

Walking along the dirty stairs to the door of the basement, the loud metallic sound inside the door stimulated his sensitive hearing.He took out a pair of recently bought earplugs from his pocket and stuffed them in his ears, opened the door and went in.
