Age Of The Sirens

The Krakens did not return to the sea as quickly as the Liberty League originally thought. Instead, they secretly parked their ships on an isolated island surrounded by dense forests in the Great Saltwater Swamp.This place is already very close to the border of the third base. Fortunately, there are swamps and trees covering it, and the ship itself has a stealth function, so there is no danger of being discovered for the time being.

Quicksilver's order was to rest in place, and no one knew what his plan was.

The deep night pushed across the entire sky from the west little by little. Over this vast swamp far away from human society, thousands of stars shone with light that had been born thousands of years ago, converging into a Milky Way across the sky.The croaking of frogs and insects in the swamp filled the hot and silent air.The occasional wind shook the treetops, and the leaves flapped in an uproar whisper.

Tang Yi walked out from the rear cabin door of the ship, and when he turned his head, he saw Mercury sitting on the port wing of the ship, looking up at the stars all over the sky.The cold starlight floated above the silvery-white figure, as if spinning in circles, illusory.

Tang Yi clawed at the protruding metal gaps and pipes outside the cabin, and with great effort, he finally climbed up to the wide silver wing where Quicksilver was.Hearing his footsteps, Quicksilver didn't look back, and remained motionless, like a statue.

Tang Yi pursed his lips, walked to Shuiyin and sat down, his legs hanging down from the wings.

The evening wind blew between them, blowing away the silence.

Tang Yi also raised his head and looked at the stars.

"Some people say that some wealthy people in the base secretly invested in the construction of a super spaceship. They think that the earth is hopeless, and they want to flee to other planets that are more suitable for living."

Mercury seemed to snort, "Are you going to harm other planets?"

"You will take them back to the sea, right?" Tang Yi raised his head and looked at Quicksilver.

Mercury did not speak.

Tang Yi twitched the corner of his mouth silently, "Will you come back after you go back?"

"...I don't know." Quicksilver said, his voice drifting in the evening wind.

Tang Yi messed up his hair and said suddenly, "I'm sorry..."

Quicksilver glanced at him.

"Before... me before... I..." Tang Yi groaned annoyed, as if he was frustrated because he didn't know how to apologize, "I watched that CD... I felt uncomfortable, just... I shouldn't To vent your anger, you shouldn't say such things..."

Mercury didn't turn his head to look at him, so he didn't know what Mercury's expression was like now.He had no choice but to take a deep breath, and continued, "I don't know that Tang Ya has hidden so many things... I don't know whether to hate him for hiding me and control me, or hate myself for never understanding him. I owe him too much, There is no chance to pay it back." Tang Yi paused, lowered his head and pressed a scabbed scar on his finger, "However, what he said is also to you..." Tang Yi couldn't find a suitable one. He muttered a few words, and changed the phrase, "I probably understand why you lost control in the team that day... If it were me, I would probably go crazy..."

Mercury's shoulders seemed to tremble, Tang Yi wondered if it was his hallucination.

"You understand?" Shuiyin suddenly chuckled, but there was a bit of bitterness in that smile, "How do you understand?"

"..."

Mercury suddenly turned his face, but the beautiful silver-blue pupils were filled with bottomless pain.

"From conscious awareness, he was the first person who made me feel safe. For ten years, he was my everything. No matter how harsh the training was, as long as he nodded his head approvingly to me, I felt very happy, even in sleep. I will have sweet dreams. No matter how dangerous the task is, as long as I know that he is by my side, I will not be afraid of anything." Mercury's eyes are far away, as if drifting to an unreachable distance, "He is my family, lover, friend , Master...everything!" He paused and sighed, "Human beings may not be able to understand the feelings bound by the sea monster, such strong feelings are not beautiful at all. My emotions, will, and thoughts are all controlled by him. , Sometimes I feel that I am a pet, and everything I do is to please the owner. A dissatisfied look from the owner makes me uneasy, and I try my best to make up for it. I used to be so lucky that my owner loves me, Although he never said warm words, I firmly believe that he loves me. I am much luckier than peacocks, those abused sea monsters, and those neglected sea monsters."

Tang Yi really couldn't imagine what it was like to have such strong emotions, but the difficulty in Mercury's voice made him feel distressed.

Then Mercury smiled miserably, "Then, suddenly one day, I knew that those were all fake. My master never loved me, he approached me to get a DNA sample from me, to control me from thought and emotion In the end, I will be handed over to the enemy, and I will be sent to the dissecting table to be cut open. And all of this, I didn't even have the chance to question him face to face, because he was dead. And I, originally, wanted to avenge him Just kept on surviving."

Tang Yi was speechless.

When he just learned the truth, he just thought that Shuiyin would be very sad after knowing this, but he never seriously tried to experience this despair from Shuiyin's perspective.

Faith collapsed despair.

All the good memories of the past ten years of my life are suddenly the despair of a joke.

The despair of never being safe, never being loved.

Now, looking at the condensed scars in the depths of Siren's eyes, Tang Yi felt his heart tremble.

Suddenly, Mercury stretched out his hand, gently lifted Tang Yi's cheek, and stroked the scar on the side of his face.The sapphire-like pupils stared at him, "When I first learned the truth, I even hated you a little bit. Tang Ya betrayed me for you. For so many years, I'm probably just your shadow in his heart. "

Tang Yi anxiously wanted to explain something, but Mercury suddenly put a finger on his lips, "Shh...listen to me. I really wanted to hate you, but after we were separated and detained, I found that I Can't hate you. All I can think about is if they torture you and force you to talk about that disc. I hate myself why I can't control myself and put you in danger inside."

A sour but slightly sweet feeling spread from his heart, and the memory of the short day of fleeing rushed back to his mind.

He remembered that Mercury told him at that time that he would find a way to break the bond with Tang Ya, and would find a way to be with him.

At that time, even though he was accused of being a traitor, even though he didn't know where the road ahead was, he smiled like an idiot.

How good would it be if time was frozen there?

Tang Yi shook his head, took out the blue shell necklace from his bosom, and handed it to Quicksilver, "Let's reconcile."

Among them, who is a substitute for whom, who owes whom, who has saved whom, who is wrong and who is right, it is already unclear.

But all this is not important anymore.

Quicksilver looked at the necklace for a while, then took it over.Tang Yi stretched out his hand and pulled Mercury's fingers, his eyes met, something that was about to come out was surging, but he remained silent.

"What are you going to do next?" Tang Yi finally broke the unspeakable atmosphere, he was afraid that if he continued to look at each other like that, he would become even weaker.

Quicksilver turned his gaze to the sky again, "The third base, Kraken team."

"...You want to rescue the remaining sea monsters in the sea monster hall?"

"There are also those sea monsters that are being bred in the breeding hall."

Tang Yi frowned, "We have too few people, and the equipment is not good enough. The risk is too great!"

"There will be fewer people, because I plan to let most of the sea monsters go back to the sea first." Quicksilver replied calmly, "I plan to bring only about fifty people, as well as anti-binding reagents."

Tang Yi's eyes widened in disbelief, but he saw Mercury's determined face.He sighed and shook his head, "You crazy siren..."

Quicksilver chuckled, "Now the third base and the second base are exchanging fire, the Liberty Alliance is also looking for their troubles, and the first base also claims to come to support. The third base is already in a state of desperation, now is the best time to attack them " He paused, then turned his head to look at Tang Yi, "This action is very dangerous, and it's our siren's own problem, I don't want you to follow..."

"Stop." Tang Yi raised his hand and made a pause gesture, "We just reconciled, don't let my little temper come up again. We are also friends who have been born and died, is it appropriate to say this?"

Mercury guessed that Tang Yi would have such a reaction, and knew that he should stop Tang Yi and stop dragging Tang Yi into danger.Maybe Tang Ya is right, he should stay far away from Tang Yi.After all, they knew each other, and in the end they were meant to be separated.

He will eventually return to the deep sea with his people.That is his birthright and shackles.It is the true meaning of his birth.

But why did he hear Tang Yi say this, and there was a kind of peace that slowly melted in his heart.

Before dawn, the ship left the swamp area and entered the large and desolate Lingbei no-man's land north of the third base.A day's high-speed driving in this direction will take you into the Pacific Ocean.Quicksilver announces his plan, which is strongly opposed by Tsuruta Takuma and Qingdi.

"The third base is now in a state of war. It is suicidal to sneak into the Siren Squad Headquarters to rescue so many unbound minor Krakens! Especially when so many Krakens have been lost, you think they are not Will the security be increased?" Tsuruta categorically retorted.

Qingdi also said, "It's too risky, why don't you go back to the sea first and then make plans?"

Mercury looked around and said lightly, "Now that the existence of the anti-binding potion has been confirmed, how long do you think the base will keep those sea monsters?"

There was a silence.

If the Kraken's binding is proven to be reversible, then all Krakens in the clan are ticking time bombs.In order to cut off possible threats, no one knows how far the sword will go.

Even if they don't harm the sea monsters' lives, I'm afraid they will use some extraordinary means to tightly control the sea monsters.The longer the delay, the greater the danger.

Quicksilver got up slowly, and the eyes of all humans and sea monsters on the conference table were glued to him.

Quicksilver's voice spread throughout the meeting room and every corner of the ship, "I will not force anyone to go with me, nor can I guarantee the safety of everyone who goes with me. Who is willing to follow me, before midnight Find Qingdi to report. The rest of the people, led by Peacock, return to the deep sea.”
