Tang Yi and Mercury went to the clinic and the confinement room separately. Tang Yi took the opportunity to go to the clinic to review the healing of the abdominal wound, and took the opportunity to walk up and down the clinic, and even went to the underground laundry room. Business as usual, no new guards to be seen. The confinement room was built in the middle of the deeper sea, a gray-black rectangular house without windows. Mercury hid in the sea and observed it for a day, but did not see anyone entering or leaving. If someone is guarding, at least someone should be in and out to deliver meals. This quietness can only mean that it is empty.
The two of them summed up in the capsule and decided to go to the abandoned sanatorium before turning off the lights that night.
But the day didn't go as expected. Just before dinner, Tang Yi whistled and Xiaojie Wan was about to wash his hands when the watch suddenly beeped sharply, and the caller's name on the dial showed Qu Lan.
Tang Yi clicked the call button, and a beam of blue light projected Qu Lan's face in mid-air.
"Vice captain?"
Qu Lan went straight to the topic, "Is Mercury next to you now?"
Tang Yila opened the door and glanced at it, then closed the door and whispered, "No, he's in the lounge."
Qu Lan snorted, and then said, "You don't have dinner today, come to the clinic on time to report at six o'clock."
Tang Yi blinked, "But I just had a re-examination today."
"It's not a re-examination." Qu Lan seemed to be looking down at the document, "Have you forgotten that you haven't had hearing system reconstruction surgery yet? Mercury hasn't found you yet. It's a great fate."
Tang Yi was stunned for a while.
That's right... He had long forgotten about this operation.
Qu Lan raised his eyes, looked at Tang Yi's confused expression, and said impatiently, "Is there anything else you don't understand? Or do you regret it?"
Tang Yi quickly returned to his senses and answered in a loud voice, "I understand!"
Tang Yi opened the door and came out. He wanted to continue wiping his dagger as if nothing had happened, but Mercury, who was half lying on the bed listening to music, took off his headphones and hooked his finger at him.
Tang Yi thought that the spectrum of this siren was getting bigger and bigger...
After entering the sleeping chamber, Mercury asked him, "Are you going to have hearing surgery?"
Tang Yi nodded and sighed, "It seems that tonight's action will be delayed."
Mercury frowned habitually. Tang Yi knew that he was anxious to know the truth of Tang Ya's death, but he couldn't do anything when he received an order from his superiors at this time. He sat cross-legged at the end of the bed, picked up Mercury's earphones and put them on, a mournful moonlight sonata poured into his ear canal, "Can you stop frowning like an old man, wrinkled at a young age. Don't worry. Well, although the vacation will be completely over the day after tomorrow, there is still a chance tomorrow night."
However, what Mercury worries about is not the secret mission of the two of them, "Do you know that the side effects of that kind of surgery are very serious."
Tang Yi took off his earphones and smiled bitterly, "I have to do it if I know it. I promised to do it before, but now I suddenly say I don't need it, isn't it too strange?"
Mercury was silent for a moment, "Tang Ya couldn't fall asleep for nearly two weeks after the operation. Once the human ear opens the door, it will hear a lot of sounds that didn't exist for you. , that would drive a lot of people crazy..."
"But didn't my brother survived very smoothly. I remember that the data said that he had no serious sequelae."
"That's the pain that they can't see Tang Ya." Mercury lowered his eyelashes, "People are extremely tired after ten days of sleeplessness, have difficulty concentrating, and can't even distinguish between reality and dreams. Like a child."
Tang Yi was silent. It's hard to imagine the always calm and mature brother crying like a child... He wanted to laugh a little, but he was afraid of being beaten by mercury, so Leng Shengsheng controlled his expression, but the muscles on his face were a little bit. Er was twisted and stiff, "I guess I will be more like a child than my brother when I get there. Mercury, you don't mind being a nurse for two days, right?" Mind joking!"
Tang Yi hugged the pillow, smiled meanly, his eyes were curved, "I said, are you worried about your husband and me?"
In the next instant, Tang Yi flew out of the sleep capsule and landed steadily with his butt back.
The operating room was extremely clean, and everything was pure white. Tang Yi was embarrassed to lie down on the operating table. The operating table is movable, and when Tang Yi loses consciousness, his body will be turned sideways to facilitate the doctor's operation. As soon as Tang Yi lay down, he saw the big Indian eyes of the doctor wearing a mask who came in was very familiar.
"Uh... Raj"
The doctor raised his eyebrows, "So it's you."
"Why did you come to the team's hospital?"
"I was just temporarily transferred to perform surgery on you." Raj still said in his lazy tone, while directing the nurse to help him adjust the angle of the surgical light on his head, "Why don't you want to do this kind of surgery?"
Tang Yi looked at him speechlessly, "Won't you be reported as a doctor for saying such things before the patient's surgery?"
Raj's eyes narrowed slightly. "They dare not."
Tang Yi shut up... Are the doctors like Raj and Tan Mingyuan
"Don't worry, I'm very skilled. When you wake up, you can hear the sounds of hell." As soon as he finished speaking, a nurse put a mask on his face and let him inhale the anesthetic. Tang Yi's last thought was that this man's negative energy was against the sky, and his consciousness soon became blurred, and the light of the operating table turned into a thin mist to swallow him up.
The next morning, what pulled Tang Yi out of his coma was a piercing noise.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the ceiling that had changed into blue sky and white clouds. It seems that there are countless people beating gongs and drums beside him... No, this description is not exact, he can't tell what the sound is, but many different fine tones twist together and continue to enter the ear, as if there is a Hands with only long nails were scratching at his skull in the brain. He whispered, "Don't make noise..."
But that didn't stop the noise.
He sat up abruptly, only to find him lying in an empty hospital room, with the dim morning sun pouring in through the window, which was closed.
The goose bumps suddenly spread all over the body, and the hair on the back of the neck stood up.
what happened? How can it be so noisy
Tang Yi covered his ears and got up from the bed staggeringly, trying to open the door of the ward to see who was arguing outside. But the door opened by itself.
At that moment, the noise was suddenly more complicated than before, and it was also slightly intensified. Tang Yi took a step back, and the voice made him a little scared.
That sound, like the feeling of thousands of worms crawling on the skin like their cilia. What kind of thing makes such a sound? Just... so disgusting...
It was Raj who came in. Seeing his pale face, he smiled knowingly, "How does it feel to hear the infrasound?"
Raj's voice emerged from the tingling tinnitus that made the scalp tingle, but to Tang Yi, it was as light as a layer of gauze. He shook his head a little dully. "It's noisy... let them be quiet..."
Raj looked left and right, "There's no coughing here, who did you silence?"
Tang Yi's brows were twisted into a pimple. He held the closest cabinet with one hand, and beat his buzzing head with the other, "It's so uncomfortable... What's that sound?"
"I haven't heard it with my own ears, but after the surgery, you can hear sounds from as low as 1 Hz to as high as 150 kHz, better than elephants and dolphins, and as good as sirens' ears. So, even sharper than their ears, because the protection mechanism that the Kraken has evolved allows them to easily filter out unwanted sounds. But you, a human, can't. So..." He said and took out an injection, " This stuff is injected once a day before bed and reduces those low sound pressure ambient infrasounds and ultrasounds you hear throughout the day."
Tang Yi grabbed the injection and immediately injected it into his own blood vessels. After a minute, those noises faded away. Although it still persisted like a faint tinnitus, it was not as hard to think as before.
Feeling dizzy and nauseated for a while, Tang Yi shook his body and quickly held the cabinet to stabilize his body. Raj smiled nonchalantly and handed him a box of injections. "If it's not enough, come to the clinic to get it. Remember, this injection can be used at most twice a day. Excessive doses will cause a serious burden on the spleen."
After leaving the clinic, Tang Yi froze for a moment. The sound of the wind, the roar of the sea in the distance, the collision of the training team's military boots with the ground, the rolling of sand and gravel on the ground, the gulping sound of a team member over there... Everything, the most ordinary sound suddenly changed It is very textured and layered, and even the sound of air movement is as clear as silk shaking. These sounds were suddenly perfectly combined with the noisy sounds that had been vibrating in his ears, and instantly formed a world of extremely rich and expansive sounds.
Tang Yi was shocked. He couldn't understand the world that hearing brought him into, just as a person in a three-dimensional world couldn't understand a face in a four-dimensional world. He felt a little scared, like a child who had been wrapped in a swaddle suddenly thrown into an empty world, surrounded by monsters he couldn't understand. He felt dazed and couldn't even move.
A sense of panic took over him, and the roar of the sea in the distance was especially grand and terrifying. The water droplets between the waves collided with the sand, the screams that were rolled and torn, shattered on the beach, and some kind of unintelligible sigh-like sound that spread from the deepest part of the abyss...
Besides, he could even hear the sound coming from himself.
Blood was rushing through the blood vessels, the heart was beating wildly in panic, and the stomach was contracting sharply.
He stood still for a while, already starting to attract the attention of some people around him. He told himself that he had to move his legs, but his body stiffened.
Is this the real sound of this world? Did my brother feel so scared after the operation? Tang Yi now only feels that he wants to find a place to hide, the kind of place where there is no sound...
At this time, a hand gently wrapped around his shoulder.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw that Mercury appeared beside him, the wind rolled up the broken hair on his forehead, and his eyes were as deep and serene as moonlight.
"Mercury..." Tang Yi called out the Siren's name with some difficulty.
Mercury nodded calmly, with a gentle tone, "Okay, don't talk. Go back with me."
