When Tang Yi woke up from his drowsy sleep, Mercury was sitting cross-legged in front of the blood-red mural, with his body straight and his long hair hanging on the ground, as quiet as a sculpture. Tang Yi found that he was covered with a shirt with several buttons torn off, and a dull pain came from somewhere indescribable. Feeling a little hot on his face, he sat up from the ground and silently grabbed his trousers and slipped them over his legs.
Mercury's calm voice came faintly, "Awake?"
Tang Yi snorted and looked back at him, "Are you... okay?"
"I should ask you this sentence." Mercury's tone was so calm that it lacked emotion. He turned his head to look at Tang Yi, "Don't do this again in the future."
Tang Yi couldn't tell what he was feeling, whether it was shame or embarrassment. He was stunned, and after a long while he said, "You think I think? If you don't look like you're going crazy..." His words gradually became silent, and he found that Mercury had turned his head back, and didn't seem to care what he said. Tang Yi felt a burst of anger in his heart. Damn, he turned his face and didn't recognize the person after he was finished. If he pretended to be enthusiastic, would he lose a piece of meat? !
"What the hell is going on with you! Don't you have some kind of Kraken version of schizophrenia? Why do you run wild at every turn?" Tang Yi angrily got up from the ground and put on his shirt.
Quicksilver said softly, "I see something."
"… what did you see?"
"Betrayal and despair."
Tang Yi blinked, "Can you speak human words?"
Mercury raised his head slightly, his eyes closed, and his slender neck stretched out, "This trench is called Guixu by the Kraken because it is very deep, like the bottomless gorge in the sea in myths and legends. The sea monsters will The dead sirens are buried here. This abyss city is the dead world of the sirens and a refuge when the crisis comes. Three hundred years ago, Chen Yuan was betrayed by his lover and imprisoned by humans. The Kraken put the Red Death Potion, and the Krakens were forced to move here. A large amount of Red Death Potion was poured into the trench, and the Kraken was almost wiped out. The surviving Krakens used the biological energy of all the Krakens who died in resentment. , and the remaining creatures of the siren who died in the past tens of millions of years can gather in this city of the dead and draw all memory and history into these murals. This city has its own soul, it will Devouring all the humans that pass by, while waiting for the gods that the sirens worship to come."
Tang Yi opened his mouth slightly, "How did you know so much?"
"I said, I saw a lot of things." Quicksilver stood up slowly, with a light and elegant posture, "A lot of memories, but not mine. If you don't interrupt me, I will see more."
It is this city that has been calling him, ordering him, and asking him to avenge the siren. Some kind of unfamiliar force was flowing in his veins, and the whole body was filled, bulging, strange and familiar, as if suddenly filled with something that was missing in his body.
"Co-authoring, or am I being nosy?" Tang Yi naturally didn't know that much, but he was extremely upset with Mercury's tone, pulling on his shirt that he couldn't tie up anymore. With a little sluggishness, he studied those windows to see if there were other ways to open them, "Since you said you saw a lot of memories, do you remember how Tang Ya died?"
The mercury behind him was silent, and Tang Yi felt that his heart was hanging in his throat.
"I...seem to see something..." Mercury's voice was hesitant. "It can't be said to see, but to feel."
When he saw in his unfamiliar memory that the red-haired General Morris betrayed Chen Yuan and stabbed a dagger infected with the Red Death virus into Chen Yuan's chest, the heart-piercing pain of being betrayed by his beloved was different from that Another face is connected.
It's Tang Ya's face.
Although Tang Ya and Tang Yi had the same face, at that time Mercury was 100% sure that it was Tang Ya.
Tang Ya looked very sad and... guilty
Why is the idea of betrayal associated with Tang Ya? Mercury couldn't understand.
It's really strange, so many memories of Chen Yuan poured into his mind, but he seemed to be separated by a layer of fog, and even his senses were dull. But the moment he saw Tang Ya, the pain was so real. Although only fleetingly.
Then Tang Yi pretended that he was Tang Ya and hugged him, and confided the most tender comfort in his ear. The cracking pain disappeared temporarily with the memory. But after he woke up, all his memories became clear again. He still didn't know his relationship with Chen Yuan, whether Tang Ya really betrayed him, or whether he was going crazy.
He needs to find answers.
Mercury looked at Tang Yi and stretched out his hand, "Come here."
Tang Yi was inexplicable, but he still walked over obediently. Mercury suddenly wrapped his arms around his waist and whispered, "Hold me tight."
Tang Yi snorted, but seeing Mercury's serious expression, he swallowed and hugged Mercury's waist hesitantly.
Mercury gently pressed the back of Tang Yi's head with his hand, and a refreshing coolness spread from his palm. Tang Yi didn't know what Mercury was doing. His face was pressed by Mercury on his shoulder. His heart beat abruptly.
Quicksilver began to hum a melody softly. Instead of aggressive harsh sound waves, the soft melody perfectly blended with the heartbeats of the two of them and the fluctuations of the water patterns. However, in this softness, Tang Yi gradually felt an indescribable force that became clearer and clearer. With the vibration of sound waves, he felt that his body was caught by something, his heartbeat, his blood flow, his breathing The frequency is controlled by the invisible rhythm.
Mercury's voice was getting louder and louder, and the vibration of that frequency became stronger and clearer. Tang Yi could even clearly feel that the entire space was trembling at this frequency, and the surrounding scene fluctuated violently like water ripples.
Then at a certain moment, when the resonance reached the maximum amplitude, the scene in front of him suddenly freezes. Tang Yi felt that the strong tremor stopped, and the voice of Mercury also stopped. Tang Yi heard a familiar voice scream, "Brother Tang?!"
As soon as he looked up, he was surprised to find that Luo Wei and Tsuruta Takumi were standing in front of the red mural looking at them both.
Tang Yi was stunned, "What's going on here!"
Luo Wei and Hetian obviously didn't understand why the mountain suddenly shook, and then Tang Yi and Mercury jumped out for no reason. It's simply a big change.
"As I said, the surviving sirens three hundred years ago gathered the residual biological energy of all the dead sirens in the past, bending the space here. Simply put, there are countless such rooms that exist in different spatial frequencies. Go. As long as you can find the correct frequency, you can enter the space you want to enter." Mercury continued, regardless of whether the other three humans were still confused, "Let's get out of here first."
"Wait." Tsuruta said hurriedly, "Peacock and Zixi were also on the submarine at the time."
"This city won't hurt the Kraken. They're all right." Quicksilver said with certainty, no doubt, like a prophet. Tsuruta Craftsman really frowned, and he could feel that Mercury was different.
Mercury let Zixi and Hetian each stretch out a hand to grab his shoulders, while he himself was still holding Tang Yi. In the same way, the whole space shook and trembled, and the body was pushed and stretched by the space.
The next moment, when Tang Yi opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the Aogubugu submarine. It was also Lee's room, with its walls reflecting the brightly lit but deserted city of death outside. The gloomy blue light radiated from those jellyfish-like buildings, and the thick dust covered by the huge coral tree was magically retreating rapidly, as if it was rotting and burning, revealing the bright red branches inside.
At this time, the screen suddenly shook, and the scene was switched. In front of them appeared Lee's smiling face, and in the background was the stance compartment of a small deep-water submarine.
Tang Yi's fist clenched tightly, and this pervert was not swallowed. Thinking about it, he seemed to have been attacked by Cutie, and the monster might have taken the opportunity to rescue its owner.
"I'm very relieved to see you all come back safely. Quicksilver, how does it feel to be back in your homeland?"
Mercury stared at him indifferently, "Why do you know the city of return to ruins."
"It doesn't matter how I know, what matters is what you plan to do next." Lee pointedly pointed at Mercury and showed a determined smile, then opened his pocket watch and looked at it, suddenly showing a surprised expression, using his The robotic arm covered its mouth. "Oops, I forgot to tell you something. Before I left, I set up Ogbugu's self-destruction program. You probably have… less than ten minutes?"
"What!!!" Tang Yi couldn't hold back and called out, "You're lying!" What kind of submarine would install a self-destruction program! His reaction caused Lee to chuckle, "Believe it or not, but it's better to retreat quickly~ The game between me and you is not over yet~"
With one last chuckle, Lee cut off the communication.
Luo Wei quickly found the bridge next door, and the red countdown on the projection computer was bright and conspicuous.
This is a nuclear submarine. Once it self-destructs, the entire underwater city will be destroyed.
"This lunatic!!!" Tang Yi gritted his teeth, regretting that he didn't shoot Lee directly before.
Tsurutian immediately ordered, "Mercury Tang Yi, go to the small submarine launch bay to prepare the deep-water submarine, Luo Wei, you and I will find Peacock and Zixi!"
Everything that followed was swift and chaotic. Tang Yi remembered that he followed Mercury to the position of the submarine's launch bay with the speed of his life. He kept praying in his heart that there were still small submarines that could stand. Their luck was really good. After hurriedly changing into anti-stress suits, he and Mercury got into the cabin and tried their best to recall the submarine posture lessons they had taken before the mission. After a while of random pressing and dialing, the submarine was finally activated. Time became more and more pressing, and with less than five minutes left, I finally saw the figures of the other four. Luo Wei just got into the submarine and Tang Yi activated the launch system before the submarine's feet landed. Before the nuclear submarine exploded, their small deep-sea submarine meteors generally shot out of the cabin and flew into the endless darkness.
Just before being engulfed by the flash of the explosion, Tang Yi swore that he saw through the glass window of the deep-sea submarine...
At the bottom of the abyss, on the coral trees, on the densely packed stone buildings on the cliffs, he saw tens of thousands of densely packed faces.
Countless gray-white faces raised their heads at the same time, their empty eyes stared at them from a distance, and their hair like water plants fluttered in the boiling tide.
Those... are by no means living faces.
A burst of goose bumps suddenly covered Tang Yi's body.
In the next instant, a bright flash expelled the darkness of the entire deep sea, and the current of the nuclear explosion slammed into the wall of their submarine. The violent tremor made everyone scream loudly. Tang Yi closed his eyes, once those layers of glass windows were shattered, they would be buried here forever.
However, the air wave just pushed them away quickly, leaving behind the Necropolis that was destroyed by the shock wave and was collapsing.
