The sea water was much colder than Tang Yi imagined, and after swimming for a long time, his hands and feet became a little stiff. The thick and slippery seaweed on the glass tree waved countless arms, sometimes wrapping around the body, as if trying to hold him back and keep him from leaving. Quicksilver had just given him a breath, and he labored behind the Kraken to peel off the dense seaweed and upstream. As he passed a seaweed clump, he heard Mercury calling him behind him, "Tang Yi"
Tang Yi reflexively hummed from his nose and blew a string of transparent bubbles.
But almost instantly he realized something was wrong.
Hasn't Mercury always been swimming ahead of him
Tang Yi froze, and what Mercury had said before echoed in his mind - "If you hear someone calling your name, don't agree, and don't look back."
The figure of mercury in front of him has been swallowed up by the seaweed bush, and now only the swaggering algae leaves can be seen in all directions. Tang Yi's body seemed to have turned into wood, and waves of cold water kept blowing down the back of his neck. Without looking back, he could feel something behind him.
He didn't dare to turn around, but he couldn't move either. His body seemed to be frozen by a cold current, and an unprecedented sense of fear suddenly swallowed him up.
The stream of water grazed on the side of his neck was like breathing... It seemed that something like hair was drilled down from the neckline of his shirt finely and itchy. That hair-raising touch made him want to scream, but only big bubbles came out of his mouth.
"Look at me..." It sounded like a sigh from the dark green sea water, accompanied by a weeping tone, against the back of his head.
Tang Yi felt that the hair was entangled in his hands a little bit, and his muscles seemed to be paralyzed all of a sudden. No matter how much he tried to gather strength, his hands and feet were out of control.
"Look at me..." The unfamiliar female voice reminded of her ear again like a whisper. Tang Yi closed his eyes and prayed that Mercury would soon find out that he was not behind and come back to him. However, the voice that was repeated in his ear became more and more rapid, and it was rustling, and the extremely fast speed sounded very strange.
"Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me..."
But suddenly, all the voices suddenly quieted down. Tang Yi thought it was finally over, but suddenly he heard another voice calling his name, "Tang Yi."
Tang Yi heard a squeak in his head, almost unable to hold his breath.
That was Tang Ya's voice.
The elder brother's voice is very similar to his, but those who have been with them for a long time can still hear the subtle differences. Tang Ya's voice is a little lower than Tang Yi's, you can't hear it if you don't listen carefully.
But Tang Yi was familiar with his brother's voice calling him like the back of his hand, it was impossible to hear it wrong.
Could it be... is it really the ghost of my brother? But my brother is a human, why is his soul here
Tang Yi wanted to open his eyes, but some ominous intuition made him hesitate.
I always feel that when I open my eyes, something terrible may happen...
"Xiaoyi... Did the apple tree bear fruit?"
Tang Yi's body trembled.
The apple tree in the orphanage... The distant and vague memory fragments bloomed in full bloom, and they were completely discovered in an instant. It was when the two of them were very young, probably only about four or five years old. Tang Yi heard that the dead tree in the orphanage was actually an apple tree, which could produce big, red apples. So he often moved a small bench and sat under the tree, holding his face and waiting for the tree to bear fruit, so that he could climb up and pluck it and eat it.
Later, Tang Ya laughed at him for being stupid, saying that a dead tree would not bear fruit. When Tang Yi heard this, he was so sad that he wiped away tears for a long time. At that time, Tang Ya silently watched him cry and did not comfort him.
But early the next morning, Tang Ya suddenly woke him up. Tang Yi rubbed his sleepy eyes and said impatiently, "Why... I'm sleepy!"
Tang Ya rolled her eyes at him and smiled, "Xiao Yi, is the apple tree bearing fruit?"
Tang Yi snorted, "Didn't you say that tree died!"
Tang Ya mysteriously dragged him off the bed and dragged him all the way into the yard. The moment the door opened, Tang Yi widened his eyes.
On the dry branches hung several large, red apples.
Tang Yi still remembered how happy he was that day. He used a stone to knock down the shaky apple tied with a string, washed it clean, and took a big bite. It was crisp and sweet. He had never eaten such a delicious apple, nor would he ever eat it again.
Later, when he grew up, he occasionally remembered this incident, and then he guessed whether Tang Ya asked for apples from the principal and secretly climbed to the tree to hang them.
The delicate pain spread out in his heart, and Tang Yi couldn't help opening his eyes any longer. Whether it is a trap or not, he has to see his brother again, and he has to say sorry to his brother.
He was always so self-willed, never listened to Tang Ya's advice, always wanted to get rid of this twin brother who was always stronger than him, wanted to escape from Tang Ya's shadow, and never said a good word to his brother. Until Tang Ya died, he hadn't had time to spend another birthday with his brother. He couldn't even cry when he heard that his brother was dead.
He is not a good brother.
However, when he opened his eyes, what he saw was not Tang Ya.
In front of him was a... thing that looked very much like a siren... the rotten skin and the bottom end of the fish tail whose scales had been peeled off were rotten to the point where only the skeleton and rotten flesh remained. There is only a layer of pale and thin skin on the face, the eyes are two deep holes, and the long black hair on the head is extraordinarily thick, full of strange vitality, fluttering overwhelmingly...
Tang Yi couldn't help screaming, and the oxygen in his lungs quickly turned into bubbles. He covered his mouth with his hands, trying to block the remaining oxygen. At the same time, his feet were pulled violently, and when he lowered his head, he saw an even more terrifying scene.
Countless rotten Kraken, with empty and rotten faces, all the algae leaves before turned into abnormally long arms that were soft like no bones, tightly wrapped around his legs, He pulled down sharply. Tang Yi felt that the oxygen in his lungs was leaking out uncontrollably, and his body was quickly submerged by the countless soft arms, unable to move, and kept sinking.
"Save..." Tang Yi couldn't finish his words, and felt his mouth blocked. Countless hands were pulling at his body, and the heavy water pressure pressed against his chest. He knew that he couldn't hold on for a few seconds. Once he inhaled the rancid seawater, the alveoli would burst one by one. He will drown and die.
A gigantic tidal wave poured down like a tsunami, and the hundreds of dead Kraken suddenly screamed in unison, but they were finally defeated by the giant biological energy that erupted from the silver-haired Kraken, and were instantly expelled and dissipated. Mercury rushed down and hugged Tang Yi's sinking body. Tang Yi's eyes were tightly closed, but his eyelashes were still shaking, as if he still had the last trace of consciousness. Mercury quickly kissed and blew oxygen into Tang Yi's body.
Tang Yi's body on the verge of death suddenly regained oxygen, and he held the mercury in his backhand and breathed greedily in his mouth. Unconsciously, the kiss deepened, the breath and saliva exchanged, the lips and tongues were rolled and lingering, and the body was tightly pressed together. Tang Yi's consciousness came back little by little, but hesitantly did not want to leave this safe embrace, instead he held Mercury tighter, greedily absorbing the breath from the other party's mouth.
But Mercury pushed him away suddenly, his cheeks opened and closed violently, his face flushed a little, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. He turned around in a panic, leaving only Tang Yi with an estranged back.
Only then did Tang Yi realize that the kiss just now seemed a little erotic...
Tang Yi wanted to thank and apologize, but it seems a little difficult to speak in the current environment. Mercury took a deep breath, calmed his breath, and said in a cold voice, "I told you before that there is too much residual biological energy here, which will cause you auditory, visual and even tactile hallucinations. , you will drown here. You must follow me."
Tang Yi was a little annoyed and nodded.
A thick layer of blue-green algae covers them near the surface. The ground floor of the abandoned sanatorium is a large pool, which directly connects to the subsea sanatorium below. Tang Yi raised his head slightly with a blue-green algae on his head and looked out.
In the hall on the first floor, two humans and a siren were getting together to play cards, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Quicksilver smiled. Originally, the Kraken was rather tricky, and it might be discovered if it wasn't. But now that both the Kraken and the humans are fully immersed in playing cards, without any precautions, he is sure to hypnotize them all at once.
Mercury began to sing with the lowest pressure infrasound wave. If Tang Yi didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't even hear the sound of Mercury. Gradually, the two humans began to yawn, and even the siren seemed a little troubled. He seemed to notice something, stood up and looked around, but fell down suddenly.
Tang Yi chose the green algae on his head, "Are there only three of them?"
Mercury nodded, "I used the sound net to detect it just now. There is still life activity on the second floor, but there should be only one human being at that level of energy. If it was Nolan, it would be easy."
Tang Yi looked around, "Will there be a camera?"
"It's been abandoned for so long, and the circuit has been burned. It's not easy to install a camera. What's more, you can still be recognized by looking at us now?"
Tang Yi looked down and saw that he and Mercury now had green cyanobacteria all over their faces, like ghosts, and even their own mother might not recognize them.
The two of them crept up the edge of the pool and climbed ashore. Although the three guards were brought down, they moved very cautiously. The hypnosis of the Kraken on its kind is entirely based on the disparity in the power of bio-energy. Although this Kraken is not Mercury's opponent, but the strength is very powerful among the Krakens, and it may be awakened if one is not careful. Once they are recognized, even if they are only suspected, they will definitely be investigated by the Ministry of Security, and then things will be big.
The two rushed to the second floor from the fire stairs. The maze-like octagonal building was empty, the ground was covered with thick dust, and some footprints were clearly discernible, probably stepped on by guards and guards. The two traced their footprints and found a tightly locked iron door, which looked like a heavy double-layered door for mentally ill patients. Tang Yi opened the small window on the sticker door and looked inside.
The four walls of the room are covered with soft cushions with sound-absorbing function, which are made to prevent the mentally unstable sea monsters from self-mutilating or forcibly breaking through the restrictions with sound waves. In the corner sat a blond man with his head down.
"Nolan!"
