Journey to another world in the subway

Chapter 79 Atonement
"Of course." The other nodded.

"You can sit here," the first person said with his back to Su Mengfan, "You can't go far anyway."

"Why not?" Su Mengfan was a little irritated, and asked, "What? Aren't there other people in the tunnel?"

"Of course not," the man explained calmly.

"Who wants to hang around there? No matter what, you can't go there. I tell you, sit down and rest for a while."

"Thank you." Su Mengfan tentatively took a step forward and sat across from the bust.

Both were in their 40s, one had white hair and square glasses, the other was thin, with blond hair and a small mustache.

Both of them were wearing old cotton jackets.They smoked a gourd-shaped thing with a thin tube stuck in it, and the smoke hung around their heads.

"What's your name?" asked the blond.

"Alcorn." Su Mengfan replied mechanically, looking at these two strange people.

"His name is Alcorn," said the blond to the other.

"Yeah, got it." He replied.

"I am Evgeny Dmitrievich. This is Sergey Andreevich," said the blond.

"We don't need to be so formal, do we?" Sergey Andreevich said.

"Sergey, we are all at this age, shouldn't we make good use of it? This is a matter of identity.

"Okay, what else?" Sergey Andreevich asked Su Mengfan.

This question is really weird, they seem to have continued before anything started, Su Mengfan was completely confused.

"Hey, Alcorn, what else? Where do you live? Where are you going? Do you have any beliefs? What don't you believe in? Who to settle accounts with? What to do?" Sergey Andreevich explained .

"As usual, remember?" said Sergey Andreevich suddenly and without reason.

"Oh, good!" Yevgeny Dmitrievich laughed.

"I live at Hayabusa Station...or rather, I used to live there." Su Mengfan began to say hesitantly.

Su Mengfan is not sure where he lives either?It seems like I have been wandering around randomly in various subway stations during this time.

But for the first time, I can chat and chat with my partners, and the subway station where I laugh and laugh is Hayabusa Station.

"Like...who put the boots on the control panel?" The blond smiled.

"Yes! Nothing!" Sergey Andreevich smirked, took off his glasses and examined them in the firelight.

Su Mengfan looked at them strangely, thinking maybe it would be better to leave here.

But what they had been talking about had attracted him, so he sat still by the fire.

"What happened about the No. 2 subway? Forgive me for overhearing a little bit," he confessed.

"Well, you want to know about the legend of the Metro?" Sergey Andreevich smiled superiorly. "What exactly do you want to know?"

"You talk about underground cities and observers and things like that..."

"Well, before the outbreak of the battle of the gods, the No. 2 subway was the most mysterious and dangerous place in the entire Moscow subway line.

When evil spirits invaded, Metro 2 became the refuge of the pantheon of gods during the apocalypse. "

Yevgeny Dmitrievich stared at the ceiling, blowing smoke rings, and spoke slowly.

"There are rumors of the ruins of an underground city, and above us another subway line for the elite.

The one you see was built for lambs, and the other one is said to have been built for shepherds and sheepdogs. "

Then he spoke of soot, and went on:

“At first, when the shepherds had not lost control of the flock, they were there to rule everything, but then their strength was slowly exhausted, and the lambs all got rid of the shepherds’ control and all ran away. .

The entrance is the only connection between the two worlds, and if you believe this point of view, you will find that this place is on a dividing line like a red scar in the map—a branch of the Sokol Line, somewhere behind the Stadium Station..."

"What happened next sealed the entrance to Metro 2 forever. People who used to live here lost their memory of the accident, and Metro 2 became mysterious and unreal."

"but!"

He pointed upwards, "Aside from the destruction of the entrance to Line [-], this line has not disappeared. On the contrary, it should be around us."

"The wind in its tunnel surrounds our platform, and its platform is perhaps hidden a few steps behind the wall of our platform.

The two structures are certainly inseparable.They are like the relationship between the circulatory system and the lymph glands of an organism.

And some people in the subway still believe in the benevolence of fate and feel that shepherds will not give up their lambs.

Let's just say the group was quietly accompanying us, letting their sheepdogs guide us and help us.

So as not to reveal their identities nor let others know of their existence.This is the observer's credo. "

The cat curled up next to the bust raised its head, opened its big shiny green eyes, and looked at Su Mengfan with a clear and alert expression.
The expression was completely unlike that of an animal. Su Mengfan was not sure if someone had ever looked at him like this through a pair of eyes.

But the cat yawned, sticking out its pointy pink tongue, buried its little head in the nest and fell asleep again, all like a fleeting illusion.

"But why don't they want to be discovered by humans? Is it because they have been betrayed by the lambs?" Su Mengfan recalled his question again.

"There are two reasons:

First, the sheep were guilty of rebelling against the Shepherd's rule when he was weak.

Second, because Subway 2 is isolated from our world, the shepherds have a different biological process from ours. They are no longer human beings, but evolved into higher order creatures.

We are in a different position from them, so we cannot understand their logic and reach their level of thinking.

No one knows how they feel about our subways, but they can change everything and even give us that good world back, because their power is starting to come back.

But because we have betrayed them, our fate has nothing to do with them.

But now there are shepherds everywhere, and they know our every breath, every step, and everything that happens in the subway.They are currently just observing and not taking action.

Only when we have atoned for our sins will they graciously reach out to us.Then there will be a revival, the first revival since the new world.These are the words of those who believe in the existence of the Observer. "

He sank into thought and took a drag on his cigarette.
