Age Of The Sirens

Peacock and Takumi Tsuruta came to the barracks to join Quicksilver and the other sirens.All the Krakens are busy, carrying boxes of anti-binding reagents and a small amount of supplies that the rebels agreed to fund for them to the medium-sized sky ship.At that time, Shuiyin was explaining something to Qingdi, and when he turned around and saw them, he walked straight over.

To Peacock's surprise, what greeted him was a punch in the face, hitting him heavily in the face.His face suddenly turned to one side, and he staggered and fell into the arms of Tsuruta Takumi who quickly hugged him.

"Mercury!" Tsuruta shouted angrily.

However, the cold and evil look on Mercury's face made him startled.

"As I said, Tang Yi is not allowed to be involved. The next time you act in private, you will definitely not be as polite as a punch."

The anger in Peacock's eyes also grew stronger, and he sneered, "You know in your heart how slim our chances of success are without Tang Yilee's distraction."

Mercury took a step forward, an invisible energy field spread from his body, and the surrounding air seemed to be stagnant.Tsuruta stood in front of Peacock, and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, "Shuiyin, calm down. Now is not the time for internal strife."

Quicksilver still stared at the peacock, and the latter stared back without showing any weakness.

"What are you guys doing?"

The menacing aura permeating Mercury's body suddenly subsided a lot, and when he turned his head, he saw Luo Wei walking towards the barracks while supporting Tang Yi, who had a wounded leg.Lin Maochen, Lanhuang Zixi and the others who were following them also looked at them blankly.

Mercury walked towards Tang Yi quickly, and the eyes of the two were glued together.Tang Yi looked at him with mercury clear eyes, the air around him seemed to be transpiring with the brighter light on the sea monster, and the surrounding world also disappeared after the light.Tang Yi's breathing was slightly stagnant, and his heartbeat was so loud that he almost doubted that the whole world could hear it.

He clearly knew that he shouldn't feel this way, but seeing Quicksilver walking towards him like this, staring at him with such suffocating focus, he couldn't control his instinctive reaction.

Quicksilver stood in front of him, listening to Tang Yi's increasingly rapid heartbeat, and watching his Adam's apple sliding up and down when he swallowed because of nervousness.Suddenly the siren knelt down on one knee.Tang Yi was taken aback, "You...what are you doing!"

But Quicksilver just put his hand on his injured calf, without raising his head, he said, "Cure the injury."

Warm power flows into his body along the palm of Mercury.Obviously, Mercury can directly control the energy transmission in the body without using sound as a medium.Tang Yi looked down at Shuiyin's snow-white hair, and suddenly realized that Shuiyin was getting closer and closer to the frightening image of a god after he lost consciousness in the deep sea.At a place so close to him, he could also feel the indescribably warm and thick force field penetrating from Mercury's body.

The wound was healing quickly, and when Quicksilver withdrew his palm, there was only a brightly colored scar left.

Quicksilver stood up slowly.Tang Yi was tongue-tied, held back for a long time, and said "thank you"...

Quicksilver didn't speak, his eyes turned to the other people behind him, "Time is running out, everyone board the ship immediately."

Tang Yi turned his head and looked, "Where's Tan Mingyuan?"

"He had already left with the people from the First Base yesterday, and Ashes was with him." Lin Maochen replied.

Tang Yi's heart ached, he didn't know when he would be able to eat his dark food again, and he didn't even have the chance to say goodbye.

After everyone boarded the ship, Tang Yi stood in front of the screen of the conning tower, watching the city with houses below move away a little bit, feeling somewhat unreal.Too many things happened in one day. At this moment, the setting sun is at the end of the green swamp, and through the gaps in the clouds, it transmits a huge sky pillar. The calm and peaceful scene makes the chaos just now seem to be a long time ago.

Tang Yi guessed, is Lee standing in the command hall at this moment, watching them leave with unpredictable eyes?

What will be the way forward?

Quicksilver is no longer his siren, and with so many more sirens waiting for his guidance, he has become a leader.

After seeing those tragic afterimages in the city of deep sea, seeing the pain and anger of Mercury, and later learning of Mercury's true identity, Tang Yi vaguely felt that sooner or later, Mercury would go on this road.But he didn't expect this day to come so fast, so caught off guard.

And where will he himself go?He is a human being, but he does not belong to the base, nor does he belong to the rebels.Where should he go?

It has been a long time since Tang Yi felt so dazed.When he was in Siren Squad, he always had another purpose, either to pretend to be Tang Ya, to complete missions, or to conduct training.He knows what tomorrow will look like and where he belongs.

But now, he no longer knows.

Sitting on the commander's seat, Quicksilver gave the order to turn on the stealth function and sail northeast along the Great Saltwater Swamp.Sitting in the first officer's seat, Luo Wei mastered the way of navigating the ship in less than half an hour, commanding Zixi and several other sea monsters to set the course.Lin Maochen was busy analyzing the ship's logbook and contacting the ship's computer in front of another projection computer.Tsuruta Takumi was arguing with Quicksilver, as if they were discussing the heading.

Tang Yi suddenly felt that he was out of place.He turned and walked out the bridge gate.

Passing through the corridor where the Krakens came and went, Tang Yi felt some uneasiness floating in the air, but more of it was a kind of hope called hope.The Krakens acted with a clear purpose without any hesitation. Everyone knew where they were going and what they were going to do.

Tang Yi walked aimlessly through the complex and clean corridors of the ship, and finally, he walked into the now empty lounge.

Next to the small holographic movie projector, there is a desktop computer that looks a little old.On the thin mainframe, there is a slender slit, which looks like an optical drive.

Tang Yi managed to find the switch of the host clumsily, and then inserted the disc into the drive.

The host made a noise like it was dying, and the disc was spinning inside, making a creaking sound.

A player box appeared on the desktop, and the familiar face of Tang Ya appeared on it.Tang Yi held his breath, and used the mouse to drag the small dot on the progress bar to the next half position.

After Tang Ya finished talking about the purpose of controlling the possibly most powerful sea monster in the world - Mercury, and finding ways to create more clones of Mercury, she suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Then, Tang Ya suddenly chuckled.

Tang Yi seldom saw Tang Ya smile like this, and there was a bit of bitterness and helplessness in the smile.Exhausted, he ruffled his usually neat hair with his hands, and he looked a little like Tang Yi.

"Xiao Yi, I don't know if I can continue to do this...Shuiyin believes in me very much. Sometimes he looks at me like you when I was a child...but I want to betray him and hand him over to the rebels ...I don't dare to think about what the Messenger of Love will do to him. I don't want to continue anymore...The next operation, they will do something to Quicksilver. If I don't hand over Quicksilver, they might I will do something to you, I can't... I can't lose you."

Tang Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Tang Yan's almost unsteady voice was full of exhaustion, "Do you still remember that time when you said you had joined the military academy and I beat you up? I was afraid that you would be involved Once you get involved in these messy things, you can't get out. But you always don't listen to me... Why don't you always listen to me? I've obviously prepared everything for you. Why don't you accept it? Why don't you understand... I'm most worried about you! You fool!"

"Brother..." Tang Yi didn't seem to realize that he was talking to a remnant of the past.

He suddenly understood why Tang Ya was so angry after hearing that he voluntarily joined the army.

The elder brother exchanged his own freedom for Tang Yi's freedom, but Tang Yi lost it himself.So Tang Ya's sacrifice and choice suddenly became meaningless.

Tang Yi felt as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer.Why does the sadness and loneliness in Tang Ya's words feel so familiar.

That feeling was similar to when he watched Mercury reunite with "Tang Ya".It's like looking at a dream that can never be caught.

Tang Ya rubbed her face with her hands, as if trying to piece herself together.He looked at Tang Yi again, or looked at the camera, "Xiao Yi, I opened an account for you at the fifth base, and your new identity and all birth information are ready. I want you to After this CD, immediately go to the flea market in Yandu to buy a push-button mobile phone, the one without networking function, and then dial this number." He held up a piece of paper and pasted it on the lens, with a series of numbers written on it , "If Mercury is also watching this CD, then I hope, you can leave Tang Yi. Sorry, I know it is cruel to say this, but you will not have any future together. The base and the Freedom Alliance will not let it go You. Mercury, you have the power of Chenyuan. One day, your power will awaken, and then the base and the Freedom Alliance will no longer be able to control you. But before that, please don't let Tang Yi take risks with you. I know that I am not a good master and have been using you and deceiving you. But, now that I am dead, please allow me to be selfish again."

Tang Yi recalled the night when Shuiyin lost control, and recalled Shuiyin's desperate and sad eyes, presumably because of this passage.Why can Tang Ya say such cold words, did he not really respond to the binding of Mercury?

Why do you say that...why do you arrange so much for him?Why try to dominate him even now?

He always felt that Tang Ya looked down on him, that he was too stupid and too fragile to make the right decision by himself.Always say he is stupid, that he is stupid, that he is not good enough to be a soldier.He still remembers that when he was a child, he learned to write a poem from the collection of poems he saw in the library, but when Tang Ya saw it, he only got ridiculed, and he recited it loudly in front of all the other children with an exaggerated tone, causing laughter one slice.Since then, Tang Yi has never tried to write anything.

Now, he actually told him that all this was to protect him and let him get the so-called freedom?

Tang Yi slumped down on the nearest chair, he felt breathless and his heart was beating in a panic.

"Xiao Yi, I know that many things I did and said in the past made you very sad. If you give me another chance, maybe I will use another way... I just... care about you too much. We You are a clone of the same person, but you and I are completely different individuals. You are giggling, dreamy, awkward, reckless, and short-tempered. You are everything I can be. I know you always think You are my shadow, but in fact, I am your shadow. I want...to protect you, to watch you forever..."

He took a deep breath, his eyes were a little red, "But, I'm afraid I can't keep looking at you anymore."

A burst of tearing pain spread from his chest, and Tang Yi unconsciously bit his thumb so hard that his nails cracked.But he didn't notice it, and stared blankly at the person on the screen.

Tang Ya forcefully pulled out a smile, the smile was warm, like the first ray of dawn in the clean sky, "Xiao Yi, I hope you will be happy."

Even for my share.

Then, the picture freezes on that smile.The progress bar has come to the end.

These are Tang Ya's last words and last expression.

Tang Yi still opened his eyes wide, staring fixedly at the smiling face.After a while, he stretched out his slightly trembling hand that was bleeding from the bite, and gently touched the cheek on the screen.

"Brother..." Tears finally fell down, Tang Yi hugged his knees, grabbed his hair with both hands, and let out a roar like a trapped animal from his throat.

He doesn't know, he doesn't know anything.

He didn't know that when he hated Tang Ya willfully, Tang Ya was smiling at him like this.

He didn't know that when he thought he was lonely, there was another person who was lonelier than him.

Suddenly, a hand fell on his slightly trembling shoulder.Tang Yi suddenly raised his head and patted that hand away.

Mercury looked at him silently, with a hint of distress lingering in the depths of her eyes.

Tang Yi turned his face away, wiped away his tears with his sleeves, took a deep breath, and then turned around to look at Mercury.

"I want to go back to the third base." Tang Yi said.

He wanted to find out exactly how his brother died.He wanted to find Nolan, find the old dean, whether he would be caught or executed.

Quicksilver said, "Not now."

"You don't have to come with me."

"No."

"Didn't you always want to find out the cause of Tang Ya's death!" Tang Yi suddenly shouted, "Have you forgotten?!"

"I've never forgotten it!!!" Mercury's voice also hardened, and cracks appeared in his calm mask, "But suicide cannot find out the truth!"

"That's my own business! I don't need your protection!" Tang Yi glared at him with piercing eyes, "Who are you to me?!"

"I'm nothing!!" Quicksilver suddenly yelled angrily, "But I can't ignore you! I can't control it!"

There was a moment of silence.

The blue pupils full of emotions are no longer cold, and there are countless conflicts and conflicts inside, and the other silver eyes have become a bottomless battlefield, lingering in the sadness that hesitates to speak.He wanted to cover up, lowered his eyes, shook his head, and smiled wryly, "I don't want to lose you."

Tang Yi stared at him blankly, and suddenly sneered sharply, "You don't mean to tell me now that you are fucking in love with me, do you?"

As soon as these words came out, even Tang Yi himself was stunned.

He never knew he could speak in such a brutal tone.

And Mercury's suddenly pale face made him regret it for a moment.

But you can't take back what you say.

In the deathly silence, Mercury finally suffered a crushing defeat in this confrontation.He withdrew his gaze, suppressed the wounds that might have leaked in his pupils, took a few steps back, and left the room.
