Age Of The Sirens

After 20 years, Jiang Yanfeng still clearly remembers the first time he saw Liuhuo in the empty white room of the underground research institute.

At that time, the blond siren had just been awakened, had already undergone basic sleep brainwashing, was able to understand human language, and had been indoctrinated with instructions to obey.The black collar that only emits 120 volts of current was tightly fastened around his neck, and the ignorance and panic in the golden pupils made him look like a beautiful trapped animal.

The remote control device of the collar was installed in their wristwatch, which was originally used for self-defense.They can use that remote to punish the Krakens if they do something that might threaten them.

He wasn't exactly happy when he was initially selected for the experiment.He didn't understand why he spent three months trying to please a siren.Among the first three humans, the other two students were very kind and enthusiastic towards the three sea monsters. Only he seldom spoke, and when eating together, he just ate his own food in silence, listening to the two students— —Let’s call them a and b—tell jokes to the sea monsters, or tell funny stories about yourself when you were young.

The three sea monsters seemed to be somewhat alert to the three of them, especially Liu Huo, who opened those Rong Rong eyes that made Jiang Yanfeng inexplicably uneasy, with a bit of hostility, deliberately keeping a distance from them .The siren named Cangfeng seems to be the most outgoing and will try to talk to the two students.The other sea monster named Xi Yan didn't talk much, but it was more because he was not sociable and seemed timid.

Jiang Yanfeng knew that student a had already set his sights on Liuhuo, so he often deliberately approached Liuhuo.But the sea monster doesn't seem to buy it, and always tries to avoid each other.And another student B seems to have not made up his mind whether to choose Zangfeng or Xiyan.

Although he noticed Liu Huo, he didn't take any action.He could feel that Liuhuo was instinctively alert to humans.Seeing a bumping into a wall in front of Liuhuo again and again, he even secretly gloated a little.

But when did the situation suddenly change?

It probably started with Xi Yan. b finally decided to bond with Xiyan, and the initial progress was smooth. Jiang Yanfeng even saw them kissing in the kitchen.Until one day, when b decided to start a further relationship with Xi Yan, he encountered resistance.

B thinks that Xiyan is deliberately teasing him, since he already kissed him, what's the big deal about having sex with him?He has already spent a month, this little sea monster is too ignorant.So he used the collar remote control.

After being shocked three or four times by the highest 120-volt electric current, Xi Yan cried and begged for mercy, begging B not to continue, he was willing to do anything.

So b found that the electric collar remote control device is a very useful tool.

After that, b stopped trying to please Xi Yan.Whenever he Xiyan refused to comply with certain demands, he would use electric shocks to force the poor siren to submit.At first, these coercive and punishing behaviors were carried out privately in a room made of super sound-absorbing materials, so neither Jiang Yanfeng nor the other two sirens knew about it. B seemed to threaten Xiyan not to mention it to others, until one time Xiyan couldn't take it anymore and escaped from the room, and plunged into Liuhuo's arms.

At that time, Jiang Yanfeng and others were stunned. They didn't expect that B would do such a thing.

After that, the three sea-monsters separated themselves from humans, and as long as the three of them were humans, the sea-monsters would never approach them.Jiang Yanfeng was very angry and fought with b, but was forcibly pulled away by a.

"They're just sirens! They're slaves! They were born to be used by us! What hypocrites are you pretending to be here!" B yelled at him.

Jiang Yanfeng stared at him with cold eyes, "The collar is used for self-protection, not as a torture tool! This time the task is to bind naturally! Do you think that the sea monster will bind us?!"

B showed a disdainful smile, "As long as the number of electric shocks is enough, do they dare to bind us? Sea monsters are cheap, the better you treat them, the more they look down on you, the more you abuse them, the more obedient they will be, and the more inseparable they will be." open you!"

"Are you a fucking sadist?!"

Facing Jiang Yanfeng's anger, a remained silent.Jiang Yanfeng felt the gradually unbalanced atmosphere in the air. A month of isolation from the outside world had broken the tight thread in the minds of these two underage young people.

When a stood in the camp of b, Jiang Yanfeng was not surprised deep in his heart.How many people can resist the temptation to use the power when another person's fate is completely in your hands?How many people are willing to refrain from proving their rights by hurting others?

When Jiang Yanfeng came out of his room that day, he heard a scream.He immediately ran towards the source of the sound, only to see Liu Huo lying on the ground, gasping for air with his mouth open like a dehydrated fish, his fingers twitching while grasping the collar.Cang Feng tried to hug the sea monster on the ground, but was freed again and again. A was standing in front of him, his eyes were red, and his face was already a bit ferocious.And B was holding Xi Yan's collar in one hand and sitting at the dining table next to him, drinking coffee leisurely.

Jiang Yanfeng rushed over and punched A in the face.

"You're fucking crazy!" Jiang Yanfeng stared at him in disbelief.

A stood up, silently wiped the blood from his nose, and then pressed the button on the watch again as if revenge.Liu Huo's body twitched again, and his eyes had already begun to roll backwards.And Zang Feng was also bounced off by Liu Huo's electric current, pleading to A, "He's dying soon! Please let him go!"

Jiang Yanfeng had never seen the proud siren in such pain, and his unprecedented anger made him pounce on him, wrestling with a. A was not his opponent, and was punched several times.He tried to take off A's watch, but was suddenly hit on the temple by a blunt object.There was a smell of fishy and salty in the nostrils, and he was so dizzy that he lost his strength, and was kicked away by A.

B is holding the kitchen iron pot in his hand, with such an evil smile on his face, he has disappeared the shadow of the upright boy back then.He dropped the pot and kicked Jiang Yanfeng in the stomach several times.

On the other side, A glared fiercely at Liu Huo, "Are you willing to surrender now?"

Liu Huo's blond hair was stuck to his face with sweat, and his chest heaved violently.He struggled to look at the sadistic humans, gritted his teeth and said, "You're dreaming!"

A was furious, and was about to carry out the execution again, when Zang Feng suddenly rushed over, stood in front of Liu Huo, and begged, "I am willing to replace him! I am willing to bind you!"

A was stunned, and Liu Huo also opened his eyes wide.Although Jiang Yanfeng was kicked upside down by b, he also heard this sentence.He tried to get up and stop the kraken from doing something stupid, but B kicked him in the forehead again, causing him to briefly faint.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw A pushing Zang Feng towards his room.Liu Huo struggled to hug A's foot, but was kicked away.

"I gave you a chance, and now you regret it?" With a smug smile on his face, a kicked Liu Huo's hand away, and took away the frightened Zang Feng.

B and Xi Yan also disappeared.Jiang Yanfeng clutched his bleeding forehead, got up, and knelt down beside Liuhuo.

The blond siren was so exhausted that he couldn't even stand up.But his fists were clenched so tightly that his eyes were full of hatred.

Jiang Yanfeng stretched out his hand hesitantly, trying to help him up, but before his fingers touched the siren's blond hair, he heard the other party order in a cold voice, "Don't touch me!"

Jiang Yanfeng's head was stabbed in his heart, but he could understand how resentful the sea monster was now.But it wasn't until later that he realized that at that time, Liu Huo's heart was more than just hatred.

As early as when the sea monsters began to avoid humans, there was already a secret love between Liuhuo and Cangfeng.The helpless sea monsters protect each other and snuggle up, which is the only comfort and harbor for each other.

In the end, Jiang Yanfeng picked him up regardless of Liuhuo's resistance, and brought him into the research room where the sea monsters lived temporarily these days.He put Liu Huo on the sofa, and then found some ointment from the medicine cabinet, intending to apply it on the skin around the siren's burned collar.But when he approached the sea monster, his wrist was suddenly caught.

Although his strength was not great, Jiang Yanfeng did not struggle.It's better to give him some sense of control... Jiang Yanfeng thought to himself.

Liu Huo stared at him, "Do you want to bind me too!"

Jiang Yanfeng frowned, "I just want to help you."

"Help me?" Liu Huo sneered, with endless mockery in his eyes, "You are so kind? What do you want? Stop pretending to be innocent!"

Jiang Yanfeng had never been in a relationship before, and he had never been involved in such a complicated interpersonal relationship. He was very upset when he was suddenly framed for intentions.But looking at the sea monster's beautiful face that was exhausted to the extreme but did not dare to relax its vigilance, it made her heart soften again.

The three sea monsters have just been awakened not long ago, and even though they have gained some knowledge and self-awareness due to sleep brainwashing, they are still three children in a sense.But when they were born suddenly, what they faced was the cruelty and violence of human beings.If it were him, he would probably go crazy.

Jiang Yanfeng sighed, put the ointment on the low table in front of the sofa, turned around and went back to the medicine cabinet to find some bandages and alcohol, and began to clean the wound on his forehead.

He knew that Liuhuo had been pricking up his ears to hear the voice of Tibetan Maple, but the three bedrooms were all made of advanced sound-proof materials, even the Siren couldn't clearly hear the movement inside.

Jiang Yanfeng didn't know if he should find a way to save the other two sea monsters.Although his fighting skills are outstanding in the training camp, a and b are not ordinary people. When the two join hands, he is not an opponent.The only thing he can save is this sea monster in front of him.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Liuhuo seemed to have turned into a sculpture.Jiang Yanfeng handed him food and water as if he didn't see it.Jiang Yanfeng was silent for a moment, and finally said, "If you want to save them, you must at least have physical strength. Do you expect me to kill them both alone?"

Liu Huo's body trembled slightly, and his golden gaze finally fell on him.The two pairs of eyes looked at each other for a while, and the blond siren finally picked up the energy bar on the table and stuffed it into his mouth as if he had completed a task.

When Jiang Yanfeng tentatively took the ointment and wanted to apply it to him, he no longer refused.Although there is still vigilance in those eyes.

In the next few days, Jiang Yanfeng didn't leave Liuhuo's side. He tried to get in touch with the outside world by knocking on the security gate, or use the internal computer to unlock the security gate, but all failed.He didn't believe that people outside couldn't see the atrocities happening here.

Or do they only care about whether the binding is successful, and don't care about the binding method?But how could it be possible to use violent coercion to really prompt the Sea-Monster to bind?

As the days passed, Jiang Yanfeng's doubts grew bigger and bigger.At the same time, he also found himself caring more and more about Liuhuo.

Liuhuo would still do everything possible to see Cangfeng who was locked in room a. If Jiang Yanfeng hadn't followed step by step, maybe a would have planned to forcibly bind Liuhuo as well.Liuhuo even tried to use biological energy to attack a, even though he was enduring a strong electric shock, he managed to send a flying and smashed against the wall.But if Jiang Yanfeng hadn't arrived in time and confronted a and b, Liu Huo's life might have been lost.

Jiang Yanfeng knew that a and b had lost their minds.Every day they spend in this confined space increases the likelihood that their lives will be threatened.He looked at Liu Huo who temporarily lost consciousness in his arms due to the excessive electric shock, but felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Liu Huo now trusts him very much, sometimes when he wakes up from a nightmare, if he doesn't see him by his side, he will look for him everywhere with a panicked expression.Jiang Yanfeng knows that this dependence is mostly due to the fear of this extremely insecure and malicious world, but he still feels a little bit of tenderness because of this dependence.He silently decided that no matter what, he must protect this beautiful sea monster like a trapped beast.He really hoped that one day he could see a sincere smile in those golden eyes that was only for him.

It was at that moment that he suddenly realized that it wasn't the sea monster that was bound, but humans like them?

Or be desired, or be obsessed with.

It was because of being bound, and later when Cang Feng killed a with a broken mirror because he couldn't bear the abuse, he and Liu Huo would attack his own race b together.After knocking b unconscious, Jiang Yanfeng put on b's clothes, held a's body in the corner of the monitor and staged a "fight" scene, and then dragged a to the dead corner of the monitor, and smeared his blood on b body, print b's fingerprints on it.They found out all the anesthetics in the institute, and injected B every once in a while.They made up a confession, saying that b lost control of his mind and killed a because of Zangfeng.They tied b up to protect themselves.

Because of being bound, he agreed to pretend to be bound to both Liuhuo and Cangfeng at the same time under Liuhuo's plea.Because considering that the sea monster who is not bound and suspected of killing is probably not much better than dying, because he doesn't want Liuhuo to have an accident, and he doesn't want Liuhuo to despair because of Zangfeng's accident.Jiang Yanfeng didn't know how he swallowed the bitterness in his throat at that time, watching Liu Huo look at Zang Feng with the most gentle and affectionate eyes, and put his lips on the latter's lips.He even couldn't imagine that this costume was actually 20 years old.

He never expressed his deep feelings to Liu Huo.Even with the title of master of the so-called two sea monsters in the previous ten years, when he returned to the room, he just watched the eyes and smiles passed between the two loving sea monsters like an outsider.Even if he injured his leg in a mission to save Zang Feng, he could no longer walk without walking stick.Even if Tibetan maple is found to have chronic stone fish disease, although the remaining lifespan is long, it will gradually lose all mobility and even swallowing ability, and can only survive on a ventilator in the later stage.He watched Liu Huo sad and desperate for Zang Feng, his eyes lost their spirit a little bit, but he could only lie silently on the other side of the double bed, not even daring to touch it.

Sometimes, Jiang Yanfeng would also think that it would be nice if Zang Feng died like this.But he changed his mind, if Zang Feng died, how long would Liuhuo live?

Sometimes he felt that Liuhuo knew his feelings, but just chose not to expose them.Liu Huo still believed in him so much, and would even show a sincere smile to him, would kiss his cheek in front of others, would joke around like ordinary friends, and would rush into the battlefield desperately just because of his single order.But Liuhuo doesn't love him, and will never love him.

He hoped, despaired, regretted, and resented.But in the end, it all became a habit.Tiredness and melancholy stained the once shining eyes bit by bit, just as wind and frost dyed the hair on the temples white bit by bit.He originally thought that maybe he would have another chance after Cang Feng's death, or maybe he could try to fall in love with someone else after retiring, so as to put a plain end to this crazy and hopeless unrequited love. period.

He just didn't expect Liuhuo to betray him in the end.

But he still couldn't hate it.

After all, what's wrong with the Krakens wanting to escape from humans?

Jiang Yanfeng opened the door of the room where he was under house arrest, and said to the soldiers outside, "Tell Qiyu, I agree. However, I want Liuhuo to come back to me."
