Journey to another world in the subway

Chapter 18 Devil (Add more)
After the commander finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the stairs leading to the entrance of the library.

The heavy oak floor, almost two people high, gave off a sluggish, almost reluctant feeling.The rusty hinges of the door rattled hysterically.

The commander put on night vision equipment for both eyes, and held a submachine gun in one hand, and entered sideways.

A second later, he signaled to his teammates to follow.

Su Mengfan and the others also put on night vision equipment one after another, held submachine guns tightly, and walked in.

In front of them was a long corridor lined with twisted tin coat hangers.This used to be a cloakroom.

In the distance, the day's fading light from the street illuminated a broad marble staircase rising upwards.

The ceiling is about 15 meters high, and looking up, the elaborate handrails of the corridor on the second floor are clearly visible about halfway up the wall.

The hall was so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping could be heard, and every step they took would echo heavily.

The walls of the front hall are covered with moss, swaying gently, as if they are breathing.

Strange vine-like plants, as thick as a man's arm, hung from the ceiling almost touching the floor.

Their stalks, gleaming with fat in the torchlight, are covered with gigantic, unsightly flowers that give off a suffocating smell that makes one dizzy.

Their swaying range is also almost invisible, and Su Mengfan doesn't want to explore whether the wind blowing from the broken window on the second floor makes them sway slightly, or they are moving by themselves.

"What is this?" Su Mengfan asked Tyne while touching the vine with his hand.

"It's a green plant," replied a voice from a distance, "an irradiated houseplant, that's it, it's a morning glory, and those botanists have the right way to grow them, especially falcons. The people at Bird Station have a better way of cultivating it..."

They followed the Commander to the stairs and went up against the left side of the wall while Tyne covered them.

The lead stalker kept his eyes on the black squares at the entrances to the other rooms he saw as he walked forward.

Others shined their torches on the marble, and the pitted, rust-colored, mossy ceiling.

They stood on the wide marble staircase that led to the vestibule on the second floor.

There is no ceiling here, so the floors of the two vestibules join together to create one huge space.

The second level of the vestibule forms the three sides of the rectangle.

The middle place is an upward staircase and forms a space by itself.

Three sides of the rectangle were lined with wooden cabinets, most of which were either burned or rotten.

But some look as if someone had just used them the day before.

Each area has hundreds of small drawers.

"Card catalog," Sage whispered, looking around apprehensively, "these drawers can predict the future, and the founders know how to foretell.

After the ceremony, you randomly pull out one of these cabinets, then open a random drawer and take out the card inside.

If the ritual is done correctly, the name of the book will foretell your future, either warning of ominousness or predicting success. "

After a while, Su Mengfan hoped to go to the nearest cabinet and find the card that predicted his destiny.

But his gaze was drawn to a gigantic spider web stretching several meters all the way through a dilapidated window in the far corner.

A gigantic bird trapped in what appears to be a particularly strong strand of thin spider silk.

It was still alive, and twitching weakly.

To his relief, Su Mengfan did not see the "master" of such an extraordinary spider web.

Next to them, in the vast front hall, there was no life.

The commander gave a signal for them all to stop.

"Listen now," he said to Su Mengfan, "don't listen to any external voices... Try to listen to your inner voice, the voice in your head, and that book will call you.

Those employees thought it was probably somewhere in the main archives.

But the page numbers are elusive, maybe in some reading room, in a forgotten library cart, in some hall, or on the nanny's desk...

So, before we start looking for our way into the archives, feel the sound of it here, close your eyes, and relax. "

Su Mengfan forced herself to close her eyes and began to listen attentively.

In the darkness, the silence was divided into many small noises: the creaking of wooden shelves, the sound of draft boxes down the corridor, indistinct whispers, wailing from the street, and There was a cough like an old man...

But Su Mengfan couldn't hear any sound like a call or a person.

He just stood there, motionless, for five minutes, and another five minutes, holding his breath feebly.

Breathing would prevent him from distinguishing the sound of a living book from a pile of dead books.

"No," he shook his head guiltily, then opened his eyes and said, "there's nothing here."

The commander didn't say a word, neither did Sage, but Su Mengfan caught his disappointed expression, and their disappointment was self-evident.

"Maybe it really isn't here. So, we're going to look in the pile of files. More precisely, we're going to try to get there." A minute later, the stalker made up his mind and gestured for the others to follow. superior.

He made his way to the wide doorway, through which only one remained of the original two panels on these hinges.

The edges of the door panels were charred and looked weird on the surface.

On the other side there is a small round house with a 6-meter high ceiling and four entrances.

Tyne followed the commander and Sage, and while they were out of sight, he took a step towards the nearest surviving cabinet, pulled out one of the drawers, and took out a card.

After a quick glance, a puzzled look on his face, he tucked the card into his breast pocket.

He knew that Su Mengfan had seen everything, so he pressed a finger to his lips cunningly, and then hurriedly followed the two stalkers.

The walls of the roundhouse were also littered with drawings and markings, and a sofa, with broken springs and fragments of faux leather, stood in one corner.

In one of the four corridors, there is a book turned upside down, next to some booklets that have leaked out.

"Don't touch anything!" the commander warned.

Tyne sat down on the sofa under the window and squeaked the springs.Sage sat on the couch too.

Su Mengfan stared at the books scattered on the floor as if under a curse.

"Don't touch them..." he said vaguely, "Be sure to put rat poison in the library of our base, otherwise the rats will eat everything... What? There are no rats here?" He He asked, repeating what he said.

Instead of seeing a place full of rats, they worry when they see no rats around.

"What rat? Are you kidding me?" The commander pulled his face down. "Where are you going to find rats around here? They were eaten up a long time ago."

"Who?" Su Mengfan asked in bewilderment.

"What do you mean 'who'? The librarian, of course," Tyne explained.

"Then are they animals or humans?" Su Mengfan asked.

"It's not an animal, of course not." After shaking his head anxiously, the stalker said nothing more.

Tyne suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his mind, as if there was some danger approaching him rapidly.

Suddenly, a huge figure passed through the window, and the glass shattered.

Su Mengfan, who was facing Tyne, was staring at the books on the ground one second, and was frightened by the sudden monster in the next second.

The monster directly bit off Tyne's head, who was still answering his own question, and sprayed the blood splashed to Sage on the other side of the sofa.

"Ah! Demon!" Sach suddenly yelled, and he picked up the submachine gun on the ground and shot at the monster that ate Tyne.

The monster felt pain, screamed, and retreated.

However, due to the heavy impact just now due to the huge body, it was directly stuck in the window.

He could only endure Saqi's shooting, and roared like a tiger at Su Mengfan and others with his mouth open.

Seeing this scene, Su Mengfan immediately woke up.Pick up the submachine gun in your hand and shoot wildly at the monster.

Under the fierce shooting of the two, the monster stuck in the window died not long after.The football-sized head drooped.

Su Mengfan took a closer look and found this monster.

It has a knobby spine, short tail, and three pairs of limbs: two grasping arms, two legs, and two large wings.

They also have an elongated head with a blunt snout that includes a bat-like snout, eyes with vertical cat-like pupils set far apart on the head, and a canine with 4 canines and several mesodonts big mouth.

The back of the demon is covered with short, sparse black hair, and there is a fold of skin at the base of the neck.

Their wings are attached to the body and the limbs are muscular, almost twice the diameter of the thigh muscles. This explains why demons can fly despite their size - in fact demon wings are very powerful and can hover in the air for a long time .

Their eyes appear small, somewhat resembling the vertical slit pupils of felines.

These features, along with the arrangement of their teeth, seem to support this possibility.

And it grows on the sides of the head, so they are less likely to hunt by sight.

And their large nasal tubes suggest that they have a powerful sense of smell, much like bats.

The animals that looked most likely to mutate overall were bats, but demons had hair, but no feathers, scales or beaks, suggesting they were of mammalian origin.

But the roar it makes is very different from the screech a bat makes.

A demon with a variety of animal characteristics can be said to be a chimera-like animal designed by genetic engineering. It is not too much to say that it was created in the laboratory before or shortly after the war.
