Journey to another world in the subway

Chapter 59 Black Hole
Before the bearded man opened his holster, Su Mengfan was already aiming at him.

This time, Khan did not stop Su Mengfan.

Su Mengfan was breathing heavily, he could hear his own heartbeat and blood boiling, and there were no unreasonable thoughts in his mind.

He knew one thing: if the bearded man said a word or moved the gun again, he would pull the trigger immediately.

Su Mengfan didn't want to die like that poor man: he didn't want to be torn to pieces by this crowd.

The bearded man froze on the spot with a fierce look in his eyes.

Then, an incredible thing happened.

The Khan took a big step forward, looked the man in the eyes and said:

"Stay still. You will either listen to me or die."

The menacing look of the bearded man disappeared, and his hands hung limply by his sides.

Su Mengfan was sure that it was Khan's words that frightened the man, not his machine gun.

"Stop talking about the power of the strong, you are too weak to talk about it," Khan said.He didn't disarm the man, then turned to Su Mengfan.

The chunky man stood there stiffly, looking from one side to the other.People watched Khan wondering what else he would say, and it seemed he had the situation under control.

"On the topic that was just interrupted, I think it's agreed. We'll all be out of here in 15 minutes."

He said to Su Mengfan, "Humans? No, my friends, they are beasts. They are a pack of jackals. They are jackals, and I am a wolf. Many stations know my nickname, and they are afraid of me."

Su Mengfan was silent. He was stunned by what he saw with his own eyes. He calmed down and finally understood what Khan said.

After a pause, Khan said again: "And you are a wolf cub." Su Mengfan didn't look back at him, but he could hear the unexpected enthusiasm in his voice.

…………

This tunnel is very empty, but also very clean.The ground was dry, and the breeze brushed against their cheeks was very pleasant.

There were no rats, no confusing side passages, no dark caverns, just a few locked doors.

You live in this tunnel as comfortably as in any station.

But that's not all. The extremely quiet and clean place not only made them lose their vigilance, but also made them forget any horror stories about death and disappearance.

At this time, the legends about the missing people began to look like foolish fabrications, and Su Mengfan began to wonder whether the desolate scene of those unfortunate people who they thought had the plague really existed.

Maybe it was all just a little nightmare he had when he was taking a nap with his philosophical thoughts?

He and Khan kept walking at the end, because Khan thought that people might leave one by one, and he thought that if this continued, no one would reach the Peace Avenue station.

Now, he quietly walked beside Su Mengfan, he was as calm as if nothing had happened.

He has now stretched out the tense wrinkles on his face from the conflict at Sukharev Station, the storm has passed, and now walking beside Su Mengfan is a rational and reserved Khan, not an angry adult wolf .

Su Mengfan found that Khan's transformation only took 1 minute.Knowing that another opportunity presented him to unravel the mystery of the subway, he asked without hesitation, "Do you know what's going on in this tunnel?"

"No one knows, including me," Khan replied reluctantly.

"There are things that even I know nothing about. The only thing I can tell you is that it's an abyss, and I call it a black hole...

You may have never actually seen a star, or you have, but do you know what the universe is like?
A star that is about to fall looks like a deep hole. At this time, it consumes itself because of its huge energy, sucks the outside matter into it, and sucks it into its center, and its center will become more and more empty. Getting smaller, denser, and heavier.

The denser it becomes, the more its gravity grows, and this process is irreversible, like an avalanche: as gravity continues to increase, more matter is attracted to the monster's body faster and faster center.

At a certain stage, its energy is so powerful that it sucks away its neighbors, it can affect all matter around it, and eventually it even starts to suck in light waves.

Powerful enough to swallow the sun's rays, the space around it is dead and black - anything that falls into its hole has no strength to pull itself out.

This is the dark star, the black sun, with nothing but cold and darkness around it. At this point, he stopped and listened to the conversation of the people ahead of them.

"But what does it have to do with this tunnel?" After 5 minutes of silence, Su Mengfan couldn't help asking again.

"You know, I have a natural ability to see, sometimes I can see the future and see the past, sometimes I can travel my mind to other places, but sometimes it is not very clear, it seems to avoid me.

For example, I cannot foresee how your trip will end, and your future is a mystery to me.

It's a bit like you're looking at the world through sewage and can't make out anything.

When I try to see what's going on here or try to understand the nature of this place, there's only darkness in front of me, the light of my thoughts in the absolute darkness of this tunnel, never to return.That's why I call it a black hole.

That's all I can tell you about this tunnel. Then he fell silent. After a few minutes, Khan added, "That's why I'm here." "

"So, you don't know why this tunnel is sometimes perfectly safe and sometimes it swallows people in? Then why does it only take people who are traveling alone?"

"I know no more about this than you do, even though I've been trying to unravel this mystery for three years. But so far, I've found nothing."

The sound of their footsteps elicited a distant echo.

The air here is transparent, breathing is surprisingly easy, and the darkness doesn't look scary.

Khan's words did not make Su Mengfan vigilant or worried.

Su Mengfan thinks that his companion is so pessimistic, not because of the mystery or danger of the tunnel, but because his investigation is futile, his idea is a kind of self-awareness, in Su Mengfan's view, it is even a bit ridiculous.

It's just a normal tunnel, there's no threat here, it's simple, empty... the carnival melody comes out of his head, but apparently he doesn't notice, and the Khan suddenly looks at him mockingly.

Khan asked Su Mengfan: "Is it interesting here? It's so quiet and clean, isn't it?"

"Yes!" Su Mengfan agreed happily.

Su Mengfan felt that his soul was relaxed and free, because Khan understood his mood and was also affected by it... He also laughed while walking, without a heavy burden on his mind, and he also believed that this tunnel was...

"Then now, close your eyes, I will hold your hand, and you won't fall... What can you see now?" Khan gently squeezed Su Mengfan's wrist and asked with great interest.

"No, I can't see anything, I can only see a few flashlights through my eyelids." Su Mengfan closed his eyes obediently, and said with a little disappointment——suddenly, he let out a soft cry of surprise.

"There you are!" said the Khan with satisfaction. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"It's amazing...it's like...no top, everything is so blue...my god, how beautiful! How easy it is to breathe!"

"That, my friend, is the sky. It is wonderful, isn't it?
If you're here, in the right mood, just relax, and close your eyes, then you can see it like a lot of people.

It's weird, of course... even people who have never been on the ground can see it and feel as if you've reached the ground above... when in fact it hasn't happened yet, you're still in the subway tunnel inside. "

"So you, you saw it too?" Su Mengfan asked happily, not wanting to open his eyes.

"No," said Khan darkly. "Almost everyone can see it, but I can't.

All I could see was a thick bright darkness around the tunnel, if you know what I mean.

There was darkness above, below, and all around, except for a small ray of light that extended into the tunnel, and we followed it involuntarily as we wandered through this subterranean labyrinth, and maybe I was blind, or maybe everyone else was blind.

Well, open your eyes, I'm not a guide dog, I'm not going to hold your hand until Heping Avenue Station. "He let go of Su Mengfan's wrist.

Su Mengfan tried to continue walking with his eyes closed, enjoying the beauty of the blue sky and stars, but he tripped over a cross bar and almost fell to the ground with all his luggage.

So, he had to reluctantly open his eyes, silent for a long time, smirking.

"What is it?" he asked finally.

"Fantasies. Dreams. Moods. Everything," Khan replied.

"But it's also very fluid, it's not your mood or your dreams alone. There are so many of us here and nothing has happened so far, but mood can completely change the situation here and you feel it.

Look there, we're almost at Seta Yehu Station!

But we can't stop here, not even take a breather.

People may want to take a break, but not everyone feels the tunnel.Most people don't even feel what you can.We have to keep going, although it may be harder to convince people this time. "
