The specifications for each floor in the dormitory are the same. From the apron is a corridor leading to the leisure hall. The surrounding walls are covered with flexible seamless screens, which can display different 3D views according to the settings. What is shown today is a green tunnel woven by trees in midsummer. The realistic light and shadow texture makes people feel that they can reach out and touch the low-hanging leaf tips. At the end of the corridor is a circular hall, furnished with comfortable and simple furniture such as sofas, reclining chairs, retro stereos, billiard tables and holographic game capsules. Soft background music lingers above the foggy forest scene on the walls. At first glance, the facilities Complete and pleasant environment. But a closer look reveals that the coffee table and table are littered with unwrapped snack packages, some food scraps littering the carpet, and even old steel-headed bullets littering the table.
"What's going on here?!" The Japanese with a habit of cleanliness squeezed these words out of his teeth, "I didn't go to the dojo to train for two hours, why is this place like this?!"
Lin Maochen and Nolan touched their noses to hide behind their own Kraken, but they were kicked out by the smiling Tan Mingyuan, "Team 12 didn't come back from vacation this morning, so he gave us a lot of specialty snacks from the fourth base. Well, as soon as you left, the two of them were grabbing food in the living room, and they couldn't stop it."
Nolan stared at Tan Mingyuan in disbelief and roared, "you motherfucker... You said it's okay to eat and you'll call the machine housekeeper to clean it later!!!"
Tan Mingyuan gently pushed down his glasses, "I meant to call, but I didn't say when to call."
There were dark clouds around Hetian, lightning and thunder, and a scene of great power was about to explode. He shouted in blunt Chinese, "In ten minutes, clean it up. You are not allowed to ask the machine housekeeper to help you, or your siren to help you. Let me see a trace of dust, and let Dr. Tan cook noodles for you tonight!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Maochen's face was pale, and Nolan's face, who was originally a white man, was even more pale and blue. The two stood at attention and shouted "Yes, Sir!!!" and quickly found them in the kitchen. Garbage bags and vacuum cleaners were sweating dry. Tang Yi was at a loss, what the hell was asking Dr. Tan to cook noodles for you
"You, come with me."
The central lounge is the center of the circle, and there are corridors leading to the individual suites, public kitchens and fitness rooms of each team member in all directions. Tang Yi followed Hetian along the bright and clean corridor with soft white light to a silver-gray password identification door.
"The password is 7361, which Tang Ya has used all the time. You can change it, but I don't recommend it. It may arouse suspicion from Mercury."
Tang Yigang wanted to ask why he knew Tang Ya's password, and then remembered that the security department must have told him. The intelligence system of the Ministry of Security is so powerful, it is estimated that even he knows that he has played several planes, and the small password is not a problem.
Although the Ministry of Security always said that they respect people's dignity and would not monitor private behavior, Tang Yi still suspected that there were actually pinhole cameras and monitors in the toilet. When he was a child, he didn't dare to go to the toilet for this reason, and he suffered from cystitis by holding back urine, which was laughed at by Tang Ya and the children for a whole year.
Tang Ya's suite is divided into two rooms. The wall of the living room in the outer room exudes soft white fluorescence because no one has set the scenery. In the center of the wall is a fish tank that surrounds the whole house. There are some rare colored fish swimming slowly among the artificial coral reefs. The comfortable and clean-lined sofa faces the holographic projector, and on one side of the wall are two independent network access rooms, where you can roam in the virtual cyberspace with your own consciousness. On the numerous shelves against the wall are some weapons, many old records and scores, and a picture frame. Inside is a group photo of Tang Ya and Mercury, which seems to be a selfie of Mercury.
It was said to be a selfie, but there was no smile at all. Those icy blue eyes stared straight at the camera, making people feel hairy. Next to him, Tang Ya was sitting on a rough stone, wiping his RD-37 (a microwave firearm that can penetrate obstacles and damage the target) in his hand. He was photographed suddenly without any preparation. He seemed a little surprised when he raised his eyes to face the camera, and his mouth was slightly open. Different. Tang Yi couldn't believe it when he picked up the photo frame, how could his brother take a group photo at home? And it's still this kind of funny selfie, which is simply not in line with his style, right
Hetian reached out and took the photo frame from his hand, and put it back in place, "This was taken by Mercury, when he saw a group photo of the Kraken and the owner in other people's houses, he always wanted to get one with Tang Yi. together."
Tang Yi sneered, "Ken agreed to print this kind of photo and put it in such an ugly photo frame, my brother has changed a lot."
"Probably because this is what Mercury wants. As long as it is what Mercury wants, he will try his best to do it for him." Tsuruta's deep voice was a little dull. Tang Yi noticed a trace of sadness in him.
I think this person should like Tang Ya very much, right? That's why I have so much hostility towards myself.
"Don't touch the things here. Tang Ya doesn't like others touching his things." Hetian's voice returned to a blunt voice. Tang Yi looked at him funny, "But I'm Tang Ya."
Tsuruta glanced at him with a bit of stern contempt, "Do you really think you are?"
Tang Yi felt that he was stabbed, and felt unhappy, and did not want to continue holding Tang Ya's attitude, he grinned, "Of course, a person like me who deserves a lot of loyalty, the security department said that I am Of course I am. You like Tang Ya so much, shouldn't you be nicer to me, or else you fail the mission, can you take the responsibility?"
"When it's time to disguise, I'll naturally play my role. But if you want me to admit that you are Tang Ya, you're still a long way off." Hetian still had a high-spirited attitude, and Tang Yi wanted to take off his shoes and toss it. to his face. So he sat carelessly on Tang Ya's spotless sofa, lay back, his shoes on the coffee table without taking off his shoes, and deliberately lowered his voice to imitate Hetian's tone, "'I want me to admit that you are Tang Ya, You're still far away', tsk tsk, it's like you are a quality inspector, I said little Japanese, are you interested in my brother?"
Tsuruta Craftsman did not expect that this counterfeit would be so reckless and openly provoke him. He strode over, grabbed Tang Yi's collar, and stared at him with cold and angry eyes, "Don't think that there is an order from the Ministry of Security, so I won't dare to do anything to you."
Tang Yi thought to himself that I just knew you didn't dare to do anything to me. He yawned and said confidently, "Then why are you spending so much money? Don't force it if you can."
Hetian gritted his teeth before he resisted the urge to beat up the little hooligan with Tang Ya's shell in front of him to the point where he couldn't even recognize him. , he cannot disobey the orders of his superiors.
He pushed Tang Yi back abruptly, calmed down his emotions, and finally gave Tang Yi a gloomy and disgusting look, then turned around and went out.
Tang Yi lay down on the sofa for a while, the white flowing light on the ceiling reminded him of mercury's hair. There was a mess in his mind, everything happened too fast, and in a short period of time he willingly gave up his original identity and became another person. He didn't realize how much he envied Tang Ya's life and looked down on himself. Only now did he realize that in order to get Tang Ya's life, he was willing to give up so much.
From his identity to every mole on his body, from the character he showed to his subtle movements, he was no longer his own. He had never thought of his twin brother so often, carefully searching his memory for every word he said, the tone of voice he spoke, his every action, the mental activity that might have occurred in every decision he made.
He always felt that he was completely different from Tang Ya, it was like the difference between day and night. Tang Ya is mature, confident, rigorous, and serious. He doesn't talk much, and he doesn't joke often, but his popularity has always been good. When he was in the orphanage, other children always liked to follow him and listen to his commands, and they had inexplicable trust in him. , as if he would always make the best decision. The young Tang Yi is completely different from the grown-up. When he was a child, he loved to cry and be troubled, and his mind was always full of bizarre thoughts. He always wanted to attract attention, but usually the method was not very clever, and what he got was only the scolding from the orphanage nanny. He was jealous of Tang Ya and wanted to become Tang Ya. The children sometimes recognized him as Tang Ya, and he even pretended to be his elder brother until the real elder brother appeared. Unable to satisfy his vanity in real life, he stumbled upon the closed ancient underground library behind the orphanage. He saw a magical thing like a "book" in it. He saw the wonderful creature such as the siren in the book. At that time, every day in his dreams, he could hear the song of the siren, which was as wonderful as a mother's lullaby.
He had never heard his mother's lullaby, and he and Tang Ya didn't even know who their mother was. Most of the babies at the base are grown in test tubes, but about half of them choose to be born naturally. More than half of the people who choose to give birth naturally produce children under the control of genetic engineering, find the best solution from different gene arrangements, and ensure that the combination of sperm and egg produces children without any genetic defects, and from the intelligence. , health and character to the extreme. The very few remaining children are "unplanned", without any human intervention, mistakes made in the passions of men and women, most likely to have all kinds of flaws and imperfections, and are essentially a violation of the base Breeding Act. Such children are also often abandoned after birth if they are not aborted during the fetus.
Tang Yi and Tang Ya were the unplanned children. They were found on a raised reef in the unpurified shallow wild sea in the southeast of the base. The water will overflow the reefs at any moment, bringing them back to their pre-existing state. An offshore sample collector found them, and regardless of the filth of the sea, they carried them to the shore at the risk of being infected. In the end, they were sent to an orphanage like other unplanned abandoned babies.
Tang Yi often wondered, if their parents knew that their child, Tang Ya, would grow into such an excellent Kraken fighter, would they still abandon him
Would my parents feel proud if they saw what they looked like now
He stopped his thoughts, and reflexively touched the cigarette in his trousers pocket, but it was empty. He remembered that Qu Lan disagreed with him bringing cigarettes to the dormitory, saying that Tang Ya had never smoked, so he had to quit too.
Feeling more irritable, he paced back and forth in the living room, biting his fingernails, fiddling around. Then he entered the clean and dust-free bedroom. The bed was placed in an oval silver-gray capsule, which was obviously twice the size of the single bed. The gray cloud curtain outside the bay window is low and thick, airtight, as if it will crush the world at any time.
He looked at everything his brother left behind, the projector still on on the desktop was showing the book he had not finished yet - "Research on the Faith of the Ancient Siren", one of his coats was still hanging on the back of the chair, pillows There are two of his hair on it, and a long silver hair - it can't help but cause Tang Yi some lewd associations, but when he thinks that his brother is the one below, it feels weird... Tang Yi's computer has a lot of storage. Most of the things are encrypted. Of course, Tang Yi has already obtained the password, but even if he enters, it is still some dossier information about the mission. He ran into the bathroom again. Next to the large built-in bathtub, there were unused shower gels. There were some common first aid items such as Band-Aids, painkillers, hemostatic drugs, and bandages in the medicine box. Except for sleeping pills, there was nothing. special.
After looking around, he slid to the bed a little discouraged. He didn't even know what he was trying to find.
The surgery to be performed tomorrow makes him a little nervous. Those possible side effects were listed in his mission document from the very beginning. He thought that his genes were exactly the same as Tang Ya's, and he would definitely be able to endure any surgery that Tang Ya could endure, so he didn't think much about it. But when things came to an end, he was still a little worried, what if he had a mental breakdown? He had heard of people who kept telling others after hearing surgery that they could hear the voices of the dead, and the howls of ghosts in hell, and finally committed suicide because they couldn't bear it. These crazy things were passed around as jokes and oddities in the Army, and he didn't want to be part of the jokes, and he didn't want to be put in a mental sanatorium. But after looking around, Tang Ya doesn't seem to need to take any special medicine. Does this mean that he doesn't have any obvious side effects
"Tang Yi, don't be a coward! This is what you want to come!" He muttered to himself, then smirked.
He had such a forward-looking personality since he was a child. On the surface, he looked like he didn't care about anything. In fact, he always worried in private for some messy reasons. Unlike Tang Ya, who had everything in his mind, it seemed that he would never regret it.
Suddenly, a pleasant but flat mature male voice sounded in the room, "Tang Ya, welcome back."
Tang Yi jumped up from the bed in fright, and looked around on alert, but found no one. At this moment, the melodious bass sounded again, followed by the image of a handsome man in a straight suit on the wall, "I am Nas, the artificial intelligence housekeeper of the fifteenth unit, responsible for logistics and data analysis. Very Happy to serve you in the future."
Tang Yi has long heard that some people with status will install artificial intelligence housekeepers in their homes. In fact, it is an artificial intelligence program that can manage all electronic products and equipment within its authority. It can not only help you cook, do laundry, clean the room, but also accompany you. Chat, sing and play games. He never imagined that the Kraken team would even be equipped with smart housekeepers, which is simply a new height...
Tang Yi stood in front of Nas curiously, "You... do you know who I am?"
"You are Tang Ya, but not the previous Tang Ya, but the new Tang Ya."
Tang Yi opened his mouth. Even robots know that? Dare to love, this is the whole team and the demon together to deceive a siren...
What kind of identity is Mercury in the end... This is simply bloody...
Nas smiled, "Please rest assured, my order is not to disclose this information to anyone other than you, so I usually assume that you are the former Tang Ya to communicate with you. If there are any questions about the former Tang Ya, I will be very happy. To provide you with information to assist you in your camouflage mission against Mercury."
Tang Yi saw this super artificial intelligence for the first time, and looked at Nas's image from different angles curiously. If it weren't for the faint fluorescence around him, he would almost have thought it was a real person. Tang Yi stretched out his hand and poked the screen, and the place where his fingertips touched the wall rippled in circles, like the water surface disturbed by a light leaf, and the image of Nas also rippled, as if separated by a layer of transparent water waves.
"Who are you taking orders from? The Security Department? The Kraken Squad? Or the Fifteenth Squad?"
"My basic orders are set by the Ministry of Security, but on the premise of not violating the orders of the Ministry of Security, I am under the orders of the 15th Unit."
"Then... did you hand over the details of my brother's life to the Ministry of Security?"
"good."
"So... you're the equivalent of a monitor?"
"The word surveillance is too negative. I personally prefer the word 'observation'. Although observation is one of my functions, it is not the main function. My main responsibility is to assist the life and tasks of the fifteenth unit. ' the AI took the trouble to answer, in a calm and pleasant tone. Although the robot should have no emotions, and the so-called "like" is just a condition setting, but Tang Yi still thinks this robot is a bit interesting.
"...Is there any place in this room that you can't see?" Tang Yi smiled a little wretchedly, and glanced into the capsule.
"Yes, I don't have permission to observe in the bathroom or the sleeping capsule..." Tang Yi was slightly disappointed by this answer, thinking that he would be able to see the love action movie between his brother and the Kraken. Nas wanted to say something, but the picture suddenly stopped. After a while, he suddenly changed his tone and said to Tang Yi, "Dr. Tan has prepared a welcome dinner for you tonight, and the deputy captain invites you out to eat."
"Welcome to dinner?" Tang Yi didn't expect his brother's followers to do this kind of thing, so he shrugged his appearance and went out. At this moment, Nas suddenly said again, "If you need stomach medicine at night, don't be polite and tell me at any time."
"…Why would I need stomach medicine?"
Nas laughed without saying a word.
Ten minutes later, when Dr. Tan put a bowl of dark green stuff that was still bubbling in front of him, he suddenly realized Nas's mysterious smile. He raised his head stiffly and met the doctor's elegant smile, "This is... food?"
"I'm going to name it - Forgotten Swamp, what do you think?" The doctor's proud and eager eyes made Tang Yi sweat coldly, "Uh... I think it might be more appropriate to call it a toilet..."
How could such a thing be able to be put in the mouth? Won't it burn the vocal cords? !
Peacock, Lin Maochen and Nolan who were sitting around the kitchen table were already lying on the table with laughter, and the royal sister, the Kraken Rose, gave Tang Yi a wink, "This is the doctor's love, he cooked it for an afternoon. It hurts you to say that~"
Tang Yi glanced at her sideways, "Then why don't you all have the food of his love?"
Nolan slapped him on the shoulder, "Eating Dr. Tan's cooking is our entry ceremony, so we can't help but save face!"
Lin Maochen also coaxed, "Your brother ate the whole bowl back then!"
Tsuruta Takumi also leaned back in the chair and stared at him with a half-smile, as if he was watching a good show. Tang Yi understood it, what about these stinky boys uniting to punish him? !
He clenched his fists, his heart sank, the chrysanthemums tightened (huh?), and he grabbed the spoon vigorously, but he was unable to put it into the sticky porridge-like substance. Peacock suddenly held his wrist gently, and Mo Mei's pupils curved into a charming arc, "If you really can't stand it, don't force it."
Hetian stared at the place where Peacock's hand and Tang Yi's wrist touched, his eyes stunned, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped several degrees. Lin Maochen and Nolan didn't dare to laugh anymore, and the Krakens also took a deep breath of air at Peacock's behavior. The only one who was still smiling was Dr. Tan.
Tang Yi suddenly felt the atmosphere was weird. He has heard that the unwritten rule in the team is that it is not allowed to fight the already bound Kraken, especially to keep a distance from the teammates' Kraken, which is the same as brothers and wives. Although he was unhappy with the little Japanese who always had a stinky face, he didn't want to make Liang Zi too big. After all, if the other party deliberately stumbled on him when he was with Mercury in the future, it would be easy to get through. So he took his hand out of the peacock's wrist and put it to his mouth with a low cough, then held the handle of the spoon again, closing his eyes and putting the dark green paste into his mouth.
Dr. Tan kept a fox-like smile and turned his head slightly, "How is it, is it delicious?"
Tang Yi lowered his head, his neatly combed hair fell down to cover his eyes, and the hand holding the spoon was shaking... After a while, he reluctantly raised his head, wiped away a handful of tears, and forcibly pulled out one more than crying. Ugly smiling face, "Also... It's not as bad as I imagined..."
Everyone was shocked, Nolan silently raised the beer in his hand, "I respect you as a man..."
Dr. Tan's mask-like smile slowly turned to Nolan, "What do you mean by that?"
Nolan broke out in a cold sweat, "No... I mean only real men can taste the deliciousness of Dr. Tan's cooking~~Ahahahaha~"
A few hours later, at 12:18 at night. Tang Yi was extremely fortunate that the team's dormitories were all single rooms, otherwise the loud noises he made while squatting in the toilet in the middle of the night would have made everyone in the team know... After the fifteenth time, Tang came out with the toilet Yi heard Nas' voice, "Tang Ya, Ashes has something for you, do you want me to open the door?"
Tang Yi pulled up the nearest chair and sat on it, rubbed his sore feet and asked weakly, "Who is Ashes..."
"It's Dr. Tan Mingyuan's siren."
Hearing Tan's surname, Tang Yi, felt his whole body tremble. He thought of the gray-haired Kraken standing beside the King of Dark Cuisine. He didn't have any aggressive features, and it seemed to make people feel comfortable.
"Open the door." Tang Yi supported his chair and stood up and moved towards the door step by step.
Ash stood outside the door, gave Tang Yi a friendly smile, and handed him an injection, "This can relieve your... symptoms."
Tang Yi took the injection a little embarrassedly, thinking that it might be because he was farting too loudly in the bathroom just now... He rubbed his nose and coughed, "Then what... Thank you."
"Everyone will be comrades-in-arms in the future, you're welcome." The Kraken continued to exhort gently, "Ming Yuan is actually a person who is easy to get along with and has a good temperament. It's just that he used to be in the medical school in order to ensure his grades in the top five in the grade. Dealing with the training of the Kraken team is very stressful. So I developed the habit of using cooking to release stress. You must not attack his cooking skills, and must not enter the kitchen, it is his 'Holy Land', he It will go mad."
Tang Yi was in a cold sweat, "What happens when you run wild?"
"I'll cook you a full-fledged meal of the Han Dynasty."
Seeing Tang Yi's pale face, he patted the other's shoulder and whispered, "As long as you don't touch his restricted area, he won't run away. Don't worry." gesture, and then lightly stepped into the suite on the right.
Tang Yi pressed the close button, and then pressed the injection onto his arm. After a slight tingling, light blue liquid was quickly injected into the blood vessels, and after about three minutes, some kind of pressure in the stomach was relieved a lot. He exhaled a long breath, thinking that he could finally go back to sleep, and then he was suddenly stuck in the middle of his breath. He coughed violently from his own saliva.
When is there an extra person in the bedroom? !
