Journey to another world in the subway

Chapter 56 Mission
Su Mengfan felt very uncomfortable at the thought of going back to the place where Khan rescued him and dragging the rat-eaten Bourbon's body to the station and then to the deep valley of the second tunnel.

He tried to convince himself that throwing the body into a deep ravine was no different than throwing it into a tunnel. Neither could be called a burial.

But just as he was about to be sure to keep everything as it was, Bourbon's face appeared in front of his eyes and said with extraordinary clarity: "I am dead."

Su Mengfan was dripping with sweat immediately.

He stood up with difficulty, put the machine gun on his shoulder, and said: "Okay, I'm going. I promised him, we have an agreement. I have to do this." Dragging his stiff legs, He started out of the hallway, toward the iron stairs that connected the tunnel to the platform.

He had to turn on the flashlight before going down the stairs.

There was a rumbling sound coming from the stairs, Su Mengfan stood there for a while, not wanting to take another step forward.

A strong wind blew the smell of rot into his face, and for a long time his muscles did not obey him.He tried to force himself to move forward.

When he conquered his fear and loathing, he moved on.

An arm fell heavily on his shoulder, and he screamed and turned sharply.

He couldn't breathe, and he knew he hadn't had time to get the machine gun off his shoulder.He didn't have time to do anything...it turned out to be Khan.

"Don't be afraid." He said to Su Mengfan, "I just tried you. Don't go, your friend's body is not there anymore."

Su Mengfan stared at him incomprehensibly.

"I finished his funeral while you were sleeping. You don't have to go anymore, the tunnel is empty." The Khan turned and walked towards the arch.

A stone fell to his relief, and the young man hurried up to him and asked in a grateful voice, "Why did you do that and didn't tell me? You told me that he was in the tunnel and there was nothing wrong with the station." the difference."

"Yeah, it's all the same to me." Khan shrugged.

"But for you, it's important. I know you've traveled for a purpose, and the road has been long and hard.

I don't know what mission you have.But if you go by yourself, you won't be able to bear it.So, I decided to help you. "He looked at Su Mengfan with a smile.

When they returned to the fire and sat on the crumpled canvas, Su Mengfan couldn't help asking again: "What do you mean by my mission? Am I talking in my sleep?"

"No, my friend. You were quiet when you slept. It was my own dream where someone with my partial name told me someone needed help.

It told me you would come, so I went out and brought you back while you were lying next to your friend's dead body. "

"What?" Su Mengfan looked at him incredulously, "I thought you heard the gunshot..."

"I heard gunshots, and there's a loud echo here. But you don't think I'll go down the tunnel every time I hear a gunshot, do you? If so, I'll go to my life very quickly and disgracefully. This time is an exception."

"Then who is the person with the same part of your name?"

"I can't tell you who he is either. I haven't seen or spoken to him before, but you know him. You should know.

I only saw him once, and not in real life, but I quickly felt his immense power.

He ordered me to help a young man from the northern tunnel, and your image appeared before me.

It was just a dream, but everything seemed real.

When I woke up, I couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality.This powerful man has a clean-shaven head and wears white... Do you know him? "

At this moment, Su Mengfan was shocked, everything was very clear.

The image Khan described was very clear in his mind, and part of the name of the person who saved him was the same... It was Hunter!

Su Mengfan had a similar dream: when he couldn't decide whether to make the trip, he saw Hunter, who was not wearing the long black raincoat he wore at the Gomes Station on that memorable day, But white clothes.

"Yes, I know this person." Su Mengfan replied, looking at Khan with new eyes.

"He invaded my dreams, and I don't usually forgive things like that. But because of him, it's different," Khan said troubled.

"He needs my help just like you, but he didn't order me to do it, he didn't impose his will on me. It was more like he was begging me persistently.

He can't get in and read other people's minds, he's in a tough situation, very tough.But in a desperate situation, he still knows that you need help and need to rely on.So, I went to find you. "

Su Mengfan fell into deep thinking. Things floated in his mind one by one, and dissolved one by one. Without forming words, they sank directly into the depths of his brain.

He couldn't speak.

The young man didn't say a word for a long time.

Did this man really know in advance that he was coming?
Had Hunter really notified him?
Is Hunter alive or has he become an invisible shadow?

He had to start believing the ghastly, chaotic tales of the afterlife that Khan was describing—but he preferred to believe that the man was crazy.

Most importantly, though, the man knew the task he faced—he called it his "mission."It may have taken him a long time to understand what it was, but he knew its importance and its weight.

"Where are you going?" Khan asked Su Mengfan gently. He looked into his eyes calmly, as if he had read through his mind.

"Tell me where you're going. If it's within my power, I'll help you take the next step toward your goal. He asked me to."

"Metropolis Station," Su Mengfan said, "I'm going to Metropolis Station."

"Then how do you plan to get there from this deserted station?" Khan asked. "My friend, now you should go to the No. [-] Metro Ring from Peace Avenue Station, and then go to Kursk or Kiev."

Su Mengfan took out the charred map. "There's a path through it that goes from Trubna to Tethwaitnabura.

I saw it on the map.From there it is possible to go directly to Metropolitan Station if everything is in order. "

"No." Khan shook his head, disappointed. "You can't get to the Metropolitan Station that way. This map is incorrect. They printed it before construction started.

Above are the subway lines that were never built and the collapsed stations where countless innocent people are buried.

They said nothing about the potential dangers and impossibility of these journeys.

Your map is like a stupid and ignorant three-year-old.give it to me. ' He held out his hand.

Su Mengfan obediently handed him the paper.

The Khan immediately balled it up and threw it into the fire.

Su Mengfan felt that this was too much, but decided not to get angry.

Khan said, "Now, give me that map you found in your friend's backpack."

Su Mengfan searched in his belongings and found the map.

He was in no hurry to give it to the Khan, he was worried that this map would also be thrown into the fire.

He didn't want to be without any map for guidance.

Khan noticed his uneasiness and reassured him, "I won't do that, don't worry.

And trust me, I don't do anything for no reason.You may find some of my behavior unreasonable and crazy.

But in fact, Youdao Khan said in a hoarse voice: "It is very heavy."

Su Mengfan turned her attention to Khan's palm holding the card.The map suddenly fell to the ground like it weighed a kilogram.

Just now, Su Mengfan didn't feel heavy holding it, paper is paper.

"This map is much better than yours," said the Khan, "and it contains so much knowledge that I cannot believe it belonged to someone who traveled with you.

The above symbols contain a lot of information.It has its own story..." He started to falter.

Su Mengfan looked up at Khan, Khan's forehead was covered with wrinkles, and the fire that was about to be extinguished flickered in his eyes.

His face changed a lot, Su Mengfan was a little scared, and even wanted to leave the station as soon as possible, and go anywhere, even the terrible tunnel he tried to escape from.

"Give it to me." The Khan wasn't asking, he was commanding. "I'll give you another one, they don't look any different, and I can give you anything you want," he continued.

"Take it, it's yours." He said disdainfully.

The Khan jerked away from the fire, his face back in the shadows.Su Mengfan guessed that he was trying his best to restrain himself and not let him see his inner struggle.

"Look, my friend." His voice echoed in the darkness, a little fragile and indecisive, not as powerful as before.

"That's not a map. I mean it's not just a map, it's a subway map.

A person with this map can walk across the entire subway in two days because the map is...alive.

It will tell you where to go and how to go.It warns you of danger... that is, it guides you.So call it a navigation graph. "

Khan leaned closer to the fire again. "I've heard of them. There are a few in the subway system, but this may be the last. It's the property of one of the most powerful magicians of this Fallen Age."

"The man in the deepest part of the subway?" Su Mengfan decided to show Khan his knowledge, but stopped immediately.Because Khan's face became gloomy.

"Don't talk nonsense about things you don't know! You don't know what's going on in the deepest part of the subway - even I only know a small part. God forbid we know.

But I swear, what's going on here is nothing like what your friend said.Don't repeat other people's idle thoughts, you will pay for it, and it has nothing to do with the navigation map. "

"Then, no matter what," Su Mengfan quickly agreed with him, he didn't want to miss any chance to shift to the topic of safety.

"You can save this navigation. After all, I don't know how to use it. Thank you for saving me, even giving you this navigation can't repay you."

"That's true." The wrinkles on Khan's face softened, and his voice softened again.
