Age Of The Sirens

Mercury has only seen CDs once, in a similar audio-visual product store when cleaning up infected people in the abandoned city, but now few people use such bulky things to store information anymore, even those that can read The entire team couldn't find a few disc machines.Mercury glanced at Tang Yi who was sleeping in the capsule, and the hesitation in his eyes gradually became stronger.

Why is Tang Yi unwilling to let him see this CD?

Quicksilver hesitated for a moment, but still put the CD back into the envelope, stuffed it back into Tang Yi's pocket, and returned to the bed calmly.

The next day, Tang Yi was woken up by the alarm that automatically played in the sleep cabin as usual. He opened his eyes in a daze, letting the unfinished dream settle down, and turned his head to look at the sleeping mercury beside him.

A faint sourness swirled in his throat a few times.

24 hours, like a super long dream.

Tang Yi sighed, got out of bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked to the bathroom.Before entering the door, he saw his coat on the back of the chair, and suddenly remembered the CD.He patted himself on the head hard, thinking that he was really dizzy yesterday, and even forgot such an important thing.He quickly rolled up his clothes, opened the closet and stuffed it to the innermost position, buried it with other clothes, and then looked back at Quicksilver vigilantly.

Mercury was still sleeping peacefully, breathing long and far.

Tang Yi heaved a sigh of relief and went into the bathroom to wash up.What he didn't see was that Quicksilver opened his eyes behind him, looked complicatedly at the bathroom door, and then at the wardrobe.

The next few days were as usual, Tang Yi thought it was too dangerous to watch the CD in the team, so he decided to use the next weekend as an excuse to visit Su Han's grave and find a safe place to finish watching the CD.

Life in the team wasn't easy either.The [-]th team began to be squeezed out by other teams, and was often "accidentally injured" by other players in training when they needed to share the Strait training ground, and the training ground that Tang Yi applied for was often not approved.Once Tang Yi was out of breath, and took Lin Maochen and Luo Wei directly into the shooting training ground, only to find that more than half of the targets were empty.Tang Yi had a fight with the administrator at that time, and was thrown into the confinement room by Qu Lan.

Tang Yi laughed at himself that he was getting more and more familiar with the confinement room, and even felt a little like home.

However, Tang Yi found that even though those team members crowded out their [-]th squad, the Krakens always respected their squadrons, especially Mercury.

Once, when passing the restaurant, Tang Yi found that behind those human team members who spurned them, the sea monsters were silently nodding to Mercury with a respectful expression.On the other hand, Mercury's expression was as usual, without squinting, as if everything was natural, and even inadvertently, there was a trace of king-like aura exuding in his steps.

There was a strange atmosphere spreading in the air. The occasional glances exchanged by the Krakens, and the infrasound communication that was not noticed by the masters made the buzzing in Tang Yi's ears louder than before, but he couldn't help it. Listen to what is being communicated.Mercury still disappeared from time to time, and he would return to the Siren Hall every other day. Although he was no longer absent at night like before, such frequent frequency still made Tang Yi suspicious.

As a human team member, he was not allowed to step into the Siren Hall, so he could only ask several researchers in the Siren Hall if they noticed any abnormalities.The researchers told him with an impatient "nosy" expression that everything was normal, and that after Mercury went back, he would only engage in singing rituals that the sea monsters only understood in the sea with other sea monsters. The method, in simple terms, is no different from chatting with human beings, and there is nothing to worry about.

But Tang Yi always felt uneasy.

After Tang Yi came out of the confinement room, he found that Mercury was not in the dormitory.I asked other people, and they all said that he went out shortly after he was locked up yesterday, and he didn't know what he did.

Tang Yi was slightly angry.

He was locked up all night, but Mercury wasn't worried at all...

The most exaggerated thing is that Mercury did not come back until late at night.Tang Yi decided that when he saw Mercury this time, he must have a good talk with him.His constant absences at night would arouse suspicion.

Tang Yi sat on the bed and read a book for a while, and waited until one o'clock in the morning but he still hadn't waited for Mercury to come back.He thought: Forget it, tomorrow is the weekend, and I have to go to the city early in the morning to find a way to watch that CD.He stood up, dug out his coat from the depths of the closet, and reached into the pockets of the clothes.

Then he froze.

Disc gone...

Not reconciled, he rummaged through all the pockets of his clothes again, then threw out all the clothes in the closet, scattered them all over the floor, and got into the closet to fumble around.His heartbeat accelerated to the limit, hitting his chest heavily, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.In his panic, he didn't even hear the door open.

"Don't look for it anymore."

A cold, hallucinatory voice suddenly sounded, piercing his bewildered mind like a bolt of lightning.Tang Yi's back stiffened, and a sudden intuition made him a little afraid to turn around.

But he turned around anyway.After all, he had no other choice.

In the dim night, the figure of Mercury was like a ghost, standing in front of him with a clear streamer, holding the CD in his hand.

The moment Tang Yi saw Mercury's eyes, he knew that Mercury had seen that disc...

Even... more than he's ever seen...

Tang Yi felt his throat was stuck, his internal organs sank into the endless ice field, and he couldn't even move a finger.

The ethereal gleam in Mercury's eyes disappeared, leaving only a bottomless emptiness and sadness.The last time Tang Yi saw him look like this was when he saw through his disguise and learned that Tang Ya had died.

Mercury looked at him quietly, then moved her lips suddenly, and pulled out a heartbreaking and tragic smile.

Mercury has always thought that he is the lucky one among the sea monsters. Even if his binding is not a completely independent choice, it is not the result of subconscious brainwashing like other sea monsters.After he actually came into contact with Tang Ya, he naturally developed feelings for the first person who stretched out his protective hands to him.And after the binding, Tang Ya also responded to his love. Even though he never really said the word love, Mercury still believed that Tang Ya's occasional tenderness, the doting eyes he showed when he stroked his hair, taught him to love him. The stern but patient eyes when fighting skills, and the warm embrace when hugging him are the true feelings.

From the day he woke up in this world, Tang Ya was everything to him.He worked hard to learn the method of controlling biological energy, and everything Tang Ya asked him to learn, just to see the gratified smile on that man's face.Even if Tang Ya died later, it was the gentle memories that Tang Ya gave him that supported him through the most difficult days.

Only now did he finally understand that everything was a lie.

His whole life is a lie, a chance success substitute, a shadow of hundreds of years ago.

Tang Ya never loved him.

The most important thing in Tang Ya's heart is not him.

Tang Ya betrayed him.

With a loose hand, the disc fell to the ground.Mercury's laughter was sporadic, like tears splashing all over the ground.Tang Yi's heart trembled in the laughter that was more painful than crying. He wanted to say something, but he only said the word "mercury", and he couldn't find anything else.

Mercury laughed so hard that he sat down on his knees, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.He raised his head and looked at Tang Yi with dull eyes, "Have you seen everything in here?"

Tang Yi pursed his lips, his voice hoarse, "I... haven't finished watching..."

"You know, but you don't intend to tell me?" Mercury's voice was still steady, but there was a trace of trembling in the end.

Tang Yi shook his head, feeling like he was slapping his own mouth with every word he said, "I'm not sure whether the content in this CD is true or not...I don't want you to be sad."

"Don't want me to be sad?" With a sarcastic tone, Mercury tilted his head slightly, his expression burning with anger, "Are you laughing at me? Laughing at me like an idiot, being manipulated by you humans ? Are you proud that my self-righteous siren is firmly controlled by your 'brothers', trying to please you like a pet?!"

Mercury's words were like sharp thorns, piercing Tang Yi like a thousand arrows.Tang Yi couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up abruptly and shouted, "Enough!"

Mercury stared at him, there was even a trace of hatred in it.

Tang Yi didn't understand why Shui Yin hated him, he was not Tang Ya, he didn't know anything about it.Why did Mercury involve him? !

Of course, it didn't occur to him at this time that there might be something else in the half of the disc that he hadn't seen that would add to Mercury's injury.

"Do you think you are the only one wronged?! Do you think I want this?! I don't know at all!!! I'm not Tang Ya, I don't know about these messy things, I just want to save you!!! What the fuck? I just want to be with you!!!"

Tang Yi couldn't believe that he had yelled words that he had never shown in his heart. He took a step back and felt a dull pain in his chest, but some words were like splashed water, once started, he couldn't stop, "You think I'm happy to be You, being called Tangya Tangya by other people all the time? Do you think that I would like all identity information to be erased and I can only live as someone else? Do you think I would like to listen to you calling me your sweetheart while you fuck me? name? I am also a human being! I am also working hard to live! What do you want from me!!! Why do you say that about me!!!”

The calmness on Mercury's surface was gone, anger, humiliation and sadness alternated, the power of bioenergy made his long hair fly in the air, and suddenly a scream like a trapped animal exploded in the whole room, and all the noise in the suite instantly exploded. Glasses and windows were shattered to pieces, the entire towering dormitory building trembled endlessly in the sudden surging force, and the sound of sirens echoed in the originally quiet night.

Tang Yi's body was so shaken that he flew backwards, and his back hit the wall so hard that he almost lost his breath.He was lying on the ground, surrounded by shattered glass, ceramics, even plastic and metal, and even the walls where he could project had cracks.

At the center of the vortex of power, the mercury burst out with light, making him unable to open his eyes.He couldn't stand up straight, couldn't move, the power of mercury frightened him, and the endless despair in that power also made him feel cold.

When Mercury finally restrained the explosive power, he propped himself on the ground with his hands like a collapse, gasping for breath.Tang Yi didn't know when his eyes got wet, he crawled forward a few steps, and came to Shuiyin.He firmly grasped the nape of Quicksilver's neck and pressed it against Siren's forehead.The sound of the gasping of the two people was so loud that it echoed in the messy apartment.

"Mercury...you still have me..." Tang Yi's voice was also broken, like shards of crystal glass around him.

Mercury breathed heavily, as if trying to control his emotions.He grabbed Tang Yi's arm, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving driftwood, leaving deep bruises on his skin, "Is it really all fake... nothing at all Nothing left..."

After whispering, the siren raised his eyes.There were tears glistening inside, but they didn't fall down after all.Seeing Mercury's hollow expression, Tang Yi felt as if his heart had been twisted a few times, with a sharp pain.

Tang Yi hugged Shuiyin's body tightly, and told him in an unsteady voice, "I don't know anything else, but I am not fake to you...".

"My head hurts..." Mercury whispered like a moan.Almost at the same time, the door of the suite was violently invaded, and many team members and sea monsters in battle uniforms filed in, surrounding him and Quicksilver heavily.The bodies of Tang Yi and Shuiyin were forcibly separated, a noise-absorbing mask was buckled on Shuiyin's face, and special biological restraining handcuffs were handcuffed to the Kraken's wrists.During the whole process, Mercury didn't struggle, and his long hair fluttered with the weak shaking of his head.As for Tang Yi, who was firmly clamped and pressed to the ground by the other hands, he could only turn his face sideways, and stared at Mercury's face covered by his long hair with wide eyes.

"Mercury...Mercury!" Tang Yi called the sea monster's name loudly, but the sea monster didn't raise his head to look at him for a long time.

Qu Lan stood at the door of the bedroom, looked at them with an unpredictable expression, and ordered in a cold voice, "The binding is invalid, take Mercury back to the Siren Hall, and Tang Yi to the headquarters for temporary detention."
