Age Of The Sirens

"Shui...yin...?" Tang Yi had just uttered this strange yet familiar name when he suddenly heard someone shouting.Two mini-machines approached them quickly, and everything that followed was chaotic.He felt many hands pulling him out of Mercury's arms, and the sea monster kept staring at him and shouted at him, "Tang Ya! Wait for me!"

Tang Yi was dragged into the drone and pressed firmly on the seat. A doctor-like person injected an injection into the vein in his neck.He quickly lost consciousness.

A splitting headache.His consciousness was pulled back to reality by the pain, he opened his sore eyes, and saw a glare of lights.He was lying in the room of the medical room, surrounded by soft white light behind the white walls, and the ground was spotless, as if he himself was the only stain in the whiteness.

He sat up from the hospital bed, and a soft female voice from the medical computer immediately came from the room, "Good morning, Mr. Tang. This is the Kraken Squad Medical Department. You were sedated before, and the effect of the medicine has almost disappeared now."

Tang Yi shivered, he remembered what happened last night.

He saw Quicksilver... his brother's Siren Quicksilver...

He actually saw Quicksilver just in the middle of the training... Wouldn't that be the whole thing? !

He threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed almost immediately, but at this moment the computer said again, "Please wait a moment, the chief wants to see you."

"...Captain? You're not talking about the captain of the Kraken team, Major General Jiang Yanfeng..."

"Yes, Major General Jiang Yanfeng is the only captain of Siren Squad." The computer affirmed with its characteristic calm and gentle tone.

Tang Yi knew it was a big deal this time.Even the commander-in-chief of the Siren Squad was alarmed... Maybe I have to pack up and leave this afternoon...

He really wanted to slap himself twice, most of the time he ran out to smoke? !Just smoke it, what kind of moon are you blindly basking in? !Just let it dry, what's wrong with being blind? !This is good, the crimes of the past half month have been in vain, and maybe he will be punished in the end, maybe even a soldier can't do it.Tang Yi became nervous again, and began to bite his fingernails fiercely, until he bled.

He always looks stubborn and tough at ordinary times, but only he knows that under his attitude of not caring about whoever provokes me, he is actually as sensitive and fragile as a snail.He suppressed his sentimentality severely, diverted his attention with pain, and formed the habit of biting his fingers.

When footsteps were heard outside the gate, he tried his best to look calm and calm, maintaining the usual military posture of standing at attention, but at the moment he was wearing a patient's clothes, which looked a bit nondescript.

The automatic door opened to both sides. A doctor came in first, followed by Yin Chengmin and Qu Lan. The officer who came in last was dressed in a spotless military uniform, with an ordinary face and a pair of slightly drooping eyes. A bit of decadence and melancholy are added to the resolute temperament.The most peculiar thing is that the officer's right foot seems to be somewhat inconvenient, and he is leaning on a dark brown cane.Tang Yi guessed that this was Major General Jiang Yanfeng.

He felt that his palms were sweating, and his throat slid up and down, but his eyes were still staring at the front with nothing in sight.He was considering whether to rush over and hug the major general's thigh right now to beg him for another chance, but he also felt that he might be kicked out of the team even more simply...

Qu Lan and Yin Chengmin stepped aside automatically, and Jiang Yanfeng walked in front of Tang Yi with steady but steady steps.

"Second Lieutenant Tang Yi!" The major general's voice shook the ground under Tang Yi's feet like a subwoofer.

Tang Yi immediately straightened his back a little more, and responded with a loud voice, "Yes, sir!"

"Tell me briefly why you were in the restricted area yesterday."

It turns out that the breakwater is a restricted area... Tang Yi has never left the training camp, so he doesn't know which places in the team are forbidden to enter.Tang Yi had no choice but to shake off the fact that he ran out of the dormitory to smoke.Jiang Yanfeng listened with an unpredictable expression, and waited until Tang Yi finished speaking before turning to Yin Chengmin, "It seems that he slipped out very early, and this is not the first time he has done so, is it true that the dormitory manager of the training camp is not here at night?" Didn't check bed?"

Yin Chengmin seemed a little nervous, "The management of the dormitory is indeed relatively lax today, and the dormitory check is rather hasty. This matter is due to our ineffective management and supervision of the training camp. We have already punished the dormitory manager of Building No. [-]."

"If you can't even maintain the most basic discipline, the Kraken team might as well disband as soon as possible." Jiang Yanfeng's tone is flat, but his voice has an invisible thickness, which makes people dare not underestimate it.It could be seen that even Major Qu put away his cynical arrogance and stood silently by the wall.

Jiang Yanfeng turned his face back to look at Tang Yi, his tired eyes were as deep as the black sea outside, "The Kraken Squad would never keep a soldier who doesn't follow discipline like you. , but Mercury has already seen your face. Since you poked the pot, you have to be responsible for repairing it yourself."

Tang Yi blinked, "I wasn't fired?"

"Whether to fire or not depends on your next luck." Jiang Yanfeng swiped the screen of the watch a few times, and the laser projected a file folder, "Here are all the details of Mercury. We have to wait a month before you pass I will show it to you after the assessment, but now we can only advance it. We will arrange for Mercury to meet you in three days. If he does not recognize who you are, you can continue to stay in the Kraken team as Tang Ya. The matter of this time will be recorded in your information first, and will not be pursued for the time being. But if you are found out, you will have to be expelled, and the information will be sent back to the Security Department, and they will decide where you will go in the future."

Tang Yi swallowed, knowing that these three days were his last chance.Once he is expelled from Siren Squad, the Ministry of Security may not let him return to the original army, so he may throw his information back to the sword and reassign him to a dark workshop to assemble electronic parts.

With a somewhat tragic mood, he received the document with his watch, and asked with some hesitation, "Did Mercury really not see my brother die?"

Jiang Yanfeng said, "He saw it, but he didn't see Tang Ya's death. He has been isolated since he was brought back to the team. Although everyone knew about Tang Ya's sacrifice, the Ministry of Security ordered that no one or sea monsters should tell him about Tang Ya's death. The news of Ya's death. So he always believed that Tang Ya was only seriously injured."

Who dares to disobey the order issued by the Ministry of Security, or even disobey the will?Tang Yi recalled the silver figure singing the moon in the vast black sea, and suddenly felt sore in his heart, feeling sad for that sea monster.

Even such a beautiful creature is nothing more than a weapon bred in a cold glass jar.Martyrdom for love is hopeless romance and stupidity for humans, but for sea monsters it is the destination to get rid of the shackles of sorrow.He has no right to choose his lover, and he doesn't even have the right to follow his lover to death.

Tang Yi suddenly hesitated a little.Even though it is his dream to join the Kraken team, is it really worth it to deceive a poor Kraken as an older brother?Can such persistent and hopeless feelings really be profaned like this?

Is this really what he wants?

But it doesn't matter what he wants.Since that's what the security department wants, that's enough.He made such a big mistake and was not kicked out of the team. On the contrary, he sped up the training progress because of this, which can only show that this was the request of the security department.Once he expresses any doubts about the order of the Ministry of Security, it is estimated that when he opens his eyes tomorrow, he will be locked in a boiler room hundreds of meters underground, and he will follow the workers with numb expressions day and night to guard those monster-like monsters. natural gas furnace, until one day he died due to excessive inhalation of harmful gases.This is something he absolutely does not want.

The Ministry of Security decided to let Mercury maximize its value, and force him to live without hesitation by using substitutes. It can be seen that Mercury also has extraordinary significance to the base.But judging from the information he has so far, apart from the beauty that shocks the heart when they meet suddenly and the singing that touches the soul, he has not yet seen anything special about Mercury.

"Get ready." Before Jiang Yanfeng left, he took another deep look at him and said in a low voice, "It would be a good thing if Mercury recognized you."

Tang Yi stared blankly at the group of people filing out, and the door closed in front of them.He has a kind of dreamlike unreality.

His daily necessities were moved out of the training camp dormitory and into a remote and unoccupied consulting room in the medical room.This arrangement was to give Mercury the feeling that Tang Ya had been receiving treatment.His daily physical combat strategy training and so on were all suspended, and Yin Chengmin came to do nothing else every day, but focused on teaching him how to impersonate Tang Ya.

"The binding between Tang Ya and Mercury is different from other people." Yin Chengmin lit a cigarette, saw Tang Yi's longing eyes, sighed, and handed him one.

Tang Yi happily took the cigarette, lit it with Yin Chengmin's beautiful silver lighter, and took a deep breath, his expression intoxicated as if he had reached an orgasm.Seeing his unsteady look, Yin Chengmin felt very heavy.

There are only three days left, if Shuiyin recognizes that he is not Tang Ya, then there is only one fate waiting for that sea monster.

Yin Chengmin pressed his thoughts back to the depths of his mind, and continued, "Mercury's biological energy is much stronger than that of ordinary sea monsters. Before he was artificially bound, he suddenly awakened himself, causing quite a mess. At that time, he seriously injured more than 15 doctors and soldiers, rushed out of the breeding hall, stumbled into the training camp, and happened to meet Tang Ya. Tang Ya hid him in her dormitory for about two weeks. For this reason He was almost expelled from the training camp, but at the age of [-], he already had close to [-] points. He is a rare genius, and his score in the loyalty test was high enough. That disobedience to the captain's order was just to appease the siren. After making him emotionally stable, hand it over to reduce the casualties caused by the conflict. All the students pleaded for him, and the doctors found that Mercury had been bound to Tang Ya, so they decided to change the expulsion to confinement. Your brother After being locked up for a month, the two-person training with Quicksilver began."

"Why does it sound like my brother got lucky?" Tang Yi sneered.

"Perhaps, some people in this world are luckier than others. But now it seems that if Tang Ya hadn't been bound to mercury, she might not have died because of him. Whether it's a blessing or a curse is hard to tell." Yin Chengmin's eyes turned to the scene of the mercury projected from Tang Yi's watch fluttering and dancing in the artificially purified sea area, and there seemed to be a momentary gloomy look in his eyes.Tang Yi couldn't see clearly, but felt that Yin Chengmin was weird today.

However, Yin Chengmin suddenly laughed briskly again, "Mercury is very possessive of Tang Ya. During the training, Tang Ya was arranged to help replace another sick student to conduct simultaneous combat training with his siren. Some relatively intimate contact actions. Later, after the Krakens were released back to the Kraken Building, that Kraken was beaten by Mercury. Since then, no other Kraken dared to approach Tang Ya again. So, you see After killing Mercury, you should also keep a distance from other people, especially don't hook up with them. Although Mercury has not attacked humans yet, there are many teammates who were riddled with holes by his eye knife before. "

Tang Yi choked on the smoke, "No way... Can I still go out to have fun during the holidays?"

"Mercury's nose is very sharp. If you are stained with powder or something, the possibility of him going berserk cannot be ruled out. But... Tang Ya never goes out to have fun. Don't forget, after three days you won't be here anymore. It's Tang Yi. Every move you make, including your dreams, you must forget that you are Tang Yi. You can't do what Tang Ya can't do." Yin Chengmin put away his smile slightly and became serious Get up, "If you are still unwilling, it is better to give up this task as soon as possible."

Tang Yi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "What will happen to Mercury if I give up the mission or fail to pretend?"

"He will be told the truth."

"……and then?"

"Sent to the recuperation hall."

"The convalescent hall?"

"Yes." Yin Chengmin said flatly, "We also call it the Kraken Cemetery. Because most of the people who go in are Krakens who have lost their will to live because of the death of their masters. There are only the most basic nursing staff there. The Krakens will Waiting there to die."

Tang Yi felt his heart was pinched by an invisible hand.

The silver figure singing under the moon floated clearly in the sea of ​​his memory again.He was dizzy with the ecstasy and happiness that those blue eyes saw him again.

"Have you heard a song sung by Mercury?" Tang Yi asked dryly, "The tune is probably like this..." He recalled the scene he saw last night, humming the tune sung by the siren.Yin Chengmin answered after listening for a short while, "Tang Ya taught him. During the two weeks when Shuiyin just woke up and tried to escape, and was rescued by Tang Ya, he was emotionally unstable and terrified of everything around him." , Tang Ya used this song to comfort him."

Tang Ya has always been very interested in music. Tang Yi still remembers that when they were young, they sat on the roof of the orphanage looking at the blurry and rough mountain shadows in the distance, chatting about what they would do when they grow up.Tang Yi said that he wanted to join the Kraken team, but Tang Ya said that he wanted to be a composer like Chopin.Tang Yi couldn't understand it at the time, because the base does not allow humans to compose music, and all music can only be synthesized by machines.How could such a wish come true?

But now, he heard the most beautiful voice in the world singing his brother's tune.

Tang Yi silently extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette, and took a deep breath.He looked at Yin Chengmin, and for the first time said a sentence that he thought he would never be willing to admit: "I will try my best to become Tang Ya."
