Different from the dark and empty streets outside, the world behind the door is crowded and psychedelic. As soon as you enter the door, there is a corridor, and the scarlet lights above your heads make everyone's faces blurred. In front of a black velvet curtain stood two bodyguards with fierce faces, staring at him suspiciously, but they did not stop him after all.
Passing through the thick curtain, Tang Yi was momentarily stunned by the rapidly changing flashes of light, unable to open his eyes. The first thing I saw was a crowd of black and crowded figures dancing in the middle of the dance floor. There were many almost naked beauties dancing in many iron cages suspended in the air. On the front stage, a few people dressed in black Gothic costumes. The flirtatious youth was frantically playing rock and roll instruments, and a purple-haired evil and charming youth in the middle was roaring hoarsely, with a taste of death-like madness in his singing.
"Were the nobodies, Wanna be sebodies, Were dead, We kno just ho e are" (note, lyrics from Marilyn Manson's Nobodies)
Tang Yi was astonished, never thought that there are still rock bands in today's world who would dare to perform in public like this. Most of the nightclubs he has been to before are DJs performing performances using computer-generated music that the Ministry of Security allows. And disbanded.
Tang Yi was glad that he wore earplugs, otherwise his sensitive ears might have been damaged in such a hurricane mixed with violent human voices and electronic sounds.
The crowd rubbed against each other, and the fiery atmosphere and desire rose in the resulting lights, and sweat fell like rain. Tang Yi squeezed through the crowd and searched for traces of mercury everywhere. He even felt that his butt was touched a few times, but unfortunately now was not the time to fight with people, so he had to quickly squeeze out of the crowd and lean against the bar. There is a pair of men kissing fiercely to his left, and their hands are already in each other's pants...
Tang Yi quickly looked away, but saw some small private rooms covered with red velvet around the hall, and faintly wriggling figures could be seen inside. The extravagant air diffuses between every molecule of the air, and it really looks like a rotten hell.
Tang Yi frowned, his anger rose faintly in his heart, why did Mercury go to such a place!
Although he took the mercury to a nightclub at the beginning, the Kraken's performance was so innocent at that time, how could he turn his face and run out to play with his back? !
His eyes were fixed, and he saw that Mercury opened an empty box behind another man across the dance floor, and the curtain fell behind him to hide his sight.
He will never admit the blue hair of the man in front of Mercury...
Is it Han Qi? !
Tang Yi only felt that his blood was burning like gasoline was suddenly poured into it, and his anger was soaring to the sky. I should have known that that stinky hooligan wouldn't give up so easily. Could it be that the fact that Mercury didn't go back to the dormitory all night recently was not in the Kraken Hall, but with him? !
A strong, sour and painful emotion wrapped in raging anger suddenly swept Tang Yi's mind. A strong feeling of betrayal almost swallowed him.
He pushed aside the crowd in front of him, walked straight across the dance floor, and pulled back the curtain.
Mercury raised his head, holding a small reagent bottle in his hand, as if he had just drank something. On the other hand, Han Qi was comfortably leaning on the sofa. Hearing the sound, he suddenly turned around and widened his eyes.
Without saying a word, Tang Yi grabbed Han Qi by the collar and picked him up from the sofa, and waved him round his fair face. Han Qi screamed and fell on the sofa, blood all over his nose and mouth. Tang Yi wanted to make a few more punches, but his wrist was suddenly caught by a force.
Tang Yi turned back and saw Mercury staring at him with a bit of surprise and displeasure, "What are you doing!"
Tang Yi couldn't believe that he still had the face to ask him what he was doing, he vigorously wiggled his wrist, his eyes were so fierce that he almost burned, "What are you doing! Who allowed you to leave the team?! What the hell happened to him!"
Mercury pinched him a little helplessly, grabbed the back of his neck and forced him to look into his eyes, "It's not what you imagined! Calm down!"
Han Qi was paralyzed on the side, wiping the blood that kept gushing out of his nose pitifully, and screamed, "You are sick! Hit people when you come up! And hit them in the face! Didn't they say that they won't hit people in the face! Is there any? Quality!"
Tang Yi turned his head and glared at him fiercely, his anger matched with demon eyes of different colors and a scar that looked like blood and tears looked a bit hideous. Seeing that Han Qi immediately fainted, he hurriedly hugged his head, "Hey, ay, don't. Don't fight! I really didn't do anything to your siren!"
Tang Yi slammed away the mercury, and wanted to punch the timid little hooligan again, but was hooked by the mercury and pulled him out of the box. Tang Yi was struggling in Mercury's arms, and was suddenly pushed against the wall. He was knocked out of his chest in one breath, and for a moment, he felt his lips being captured by a domineering force.
Tang Yi's eyes widened. In the blurred vision, Mercury's tongue pried open his teeth and penetrated into his mouth, robbing his breath forcefully. Tang Yi's heart almost jumped out of his throat, he forgot to even breathe, and his cheeks were flushed. Just when he thought he was going to be eaten by mercury, the Siren finally let go of his ravaged red lips, his eyelashes drooped, and his stern face was reflected in his blue eyes.
"You..." Tang Yi was so angry that he wiped his mouth hard, but his cheeks were flushed like rouge, "Do you think you can put it off like this?!"
"Let's go out, I'll explain it to you." Quicksilver didn't allow him to refuse, grabbed him by the wrist, and half dragged him out of the Hell Gate. Tang Yi stumbled along behind Mercury, but would still struggle symbolically from time to time to vent his anger. Mercury dragged him directly into a small hotel, grabbed some cash from Tang Yi's trouser pocket, and patted it on the counter despite Tang Yi's protest. The old man at the front desk glanced at the two of them and handed an ancient key to Mercury as if he understood. Mercury dragged Tang Yi up to the third floor, opened the door, pushed Tang Yi in, and locked the door.
Mercury turned around slowly, and saw Tang Yi on the other side of the room, staring at him angrily, his eyes wide open, like a frightened little animal.
The heart seemed to melt suddenly, and a strange yet familiar throbbing sensation spread along the blood vessels, sweet and astringent.
Mercury looked at the time displayed on the wall, 11:55pm, it seemed... the medicine started to take effect...
Mercury slowly approached Tang Yi, the latter still staring at him unwillingly, pulled up a posture ready to fight at any time, but took a half step back slightly.
"If you want to say something, say it quickly!"
Mercury's expression was a little different than usual. Those silver-blue eyes were full of swaying concentration and deepness. The fire buried under the ice made Tang Yi's face feel inexplicably hot, and his heart suddenly became nervous. Every time Mercury looked at him like this, he took him for Tang Ya.
"Hey... what did you drink just now... you're not on drugs, are you... "
Mercury stood in front of him, a few inches taller than him, which gave Tang Yi a strong sense of oppression. Mercury caressed his profile lightly, cupped the scar with his palm, and rubbed his thumb vaguely on his previously bitten lip. Tang Yi's body was stiff, and he grabbed Mercury's wrist, and a sad light flashed in his eyes.
"You promised that you wouldn't treat me as Tang Ya again!" Tang Yi clenched his cold wrist tightly, and there was a suspicious moist luster in his eyes. He felt so wronged, he should have gotten used to it, but he still couldn't keep calm.
However, Mercury smiled gently, "I don't think of you as someone else, you are Tang Yi."
"Then what are you doing! Why did you kiss me before! Is it fun to play with me!"
"Because I want to kiss you."
"… "
"Don't you want to know why I met Han Qi?"
When he was on a mission under the sea before, Han Qi had secretly approached Tang Yi when he was away and asked him if he was interested in "freedom". It turns out that this seemingly condescending marine biologist is actually a rare genius. He has been fascinated by the "binding" system of the siren since he was a child. He does not believe that there is irreversible love in this world. His father is the second wise man of the sword, and there is enough power and wealth in the family to support him in any crazy experiments and explorations. So he used nine years to develop a drug that can increase the absorption of certain neurotransmitters in the brain and temporarily reverse the binding process.
The problem is that this kind of research will fundamentally threaten the base's control of the Kraken, so no matter how powerful his family is, this research will never be supported by any base, even once his daring experiment is discovered. , not only will his loyalty value plummet, but even his father will be implicated.
It is impossible for him to get any healthy Kraken from the base to test in vivo.
But after seeing Tang Yi and Mercury, he had a bold idea in his mind. He found out from his father that Tang Yi was not the real binder of Mercury, so if his potion took effect, Mercury could be freed from the previous binding. Not only Quicksilver, but any bound Kraken who has lost their master can use this potion to free themselves from endless loneliness and depression.
So he decided to start with mercury.
At that time, Mercury didn't intend to release the bond with Tang Ya. Even if Tang Ya died, he was still willing to keep that painful bond. He was afraid that once the binding was lifted, he would forget to find out the cause of Tang Ya's death and forgot to avenge Tang Ya. What's more, I don't know what kind of side effects such a drug will have.
But... everything is different now...
"I contacted Han Qi privately before and gave him my blood sample, and just last week he told me that he had made an anti-binding reagent based on my blood sample. This reagent is still in the experimental stage, and its efficacy is only It lasts about 24 hours. During those 24 hours, I was never bound."
Tang Yi opened his mouth slightly and looked at him with a confused look, "Are you kidding me?"
"…why am I teasing you. You know I don't have much of a sense of humor."
Tang Yi suddenly remembered that the little hooligan in Haixia did mention to him about anti-binding, but he thought it was the other party bragging, but he didn't expect it to just look like bragging. Tang Yi could not have imagined that Han Qi's condescending young master actually had two brushes...
"...But if you say it like this... Doesn't Han Qi know that you recognized my true identity long ago? No way... What if he leaks the secret... Should he be silenced..." He was sealed with a kiss by Mercury again.
After a while, Mercury looked up, smiling like a dream, "This is your birthday present, happy birthday."
