Journey to another world in the subway

Chapter 83 Echo
For a while, Su Mengfan tried not to listen to those echoes.
Then, when he felt the fading echo getting closer, he covered his ears and continued walking forward.But even that doesn't do much.

After a while, he removed the palms covering his ears and continued to walk forward. He heard the echo of his footsteps getting louder and louder in front of him, which frightened him, as if the sound was getting closer and closer to him. .

But all he could do was stand still, so that the sound in front of him would stop in a few seconds...

This tunnel tests Su Mengfan and his ability to withstand fear.

Su Mengfan was the only one in the entire tunnel, and pressure from all directions surged toward him.

But Su Mengfan did not give up.He has endured too much fear brought to him by the darkness and echoes.

Is that really an echo?
The sound was getting closer, there was no doubt about it.

Su Mengfan stopped again when he could hear ghostly footsteps 20 meters in front of him.

It was so inexplicable and weird that he couldn't stand it.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and shouted into the empty tunnel with a voice that almost tore through the air:
"Is anyone here?"

The echo was so terrifyingly close that Su Mengfan could hardly recognize his own voice.

The rolling echoes entangled deep into the depths of the tunnel, fragmented into sentences: "Is anyone there...Is anyone there...Is anyone there..." However, no one answered.

Suddenly, something incredible happened.

The voice came back, repeating his question over and over again, the lost syllables reconstituted the question in reverse order and growing louder, as if someone was repeating it in a terrifying voice thirty paces away His questions.

Su Mengfan felt unbearable.

He turned and walked back, trying to walk slowly at first, then he started running, completely forgetting to suppress the fear, he stumbled.

But after a while, he felt the footsteps echoing 20 meters away could still be heard.

It seemed that this invisible follower didn't want to let him go.

Panting for breath, he kept running, no matter what direction, and finally fell at an intersection in the tunnel.

The echo suddenly died down.

It was a long time before he came back to himself, mustered up the courage,
Then stood up and walked on.

Yes, it is the right direction.

The echoes bouncing off the concrete floor got closer to him with every meter he advanced.

The ominous rustle was slightly overshadowed by the pounding of blood in his ears.

Whenever Su Mengfan stopped, his followers also stopped in the darkness, so Su Mengfan was now certain that in fact it was not an echo at all.

He kept walking like this until the sound of footsteps was very close, as close as his own outstretched arm.

So, Su Mengfan roared, waved his fist aimlessly, and punched where he thought the sound came from.

His fists pierced through the void, making a crackling sound.

No one wants to counter the attack of his swinging fists.

He beat the air in vain, roaring, leaping backwards, uppercuting left and right to catch foes unseen in the darkness.

However, the tunnel was empty, and there was no one around.

However, as long as he held his breath and took a step in the direction of Metropolis Station, he could hear a kind of dragging footsteps, and it seemed to be right in front of him.

He waved his arms again, only to find that there was nothing around him again.

Su Mengfan felt that he was losing his mind step by step.

He tried to keep his eyes wide open, trying to find something, until they ached, and he tried to listen for the breathing of other creatures around him.

But, really nothing.

After standing there motionless for a while, Su Mengfan realized that no matter how he explained this weird thing, it was not dangerous to him.

Most likely this is due to acoustics.

Be sure to ask Hunter the next time you meet him—he thought so.

But as he took another step toward his goal, someone whispered softly into his ear: "Stop. You can't go any further now."

"Who is it? Who is talking here?" Su Mengfan gasped and shouted.

But no one answered.

Once again he was surrounded by this deep emptiness.

Then, he wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand, and quickly ran towards the direction where Bolovite was standing.

He ran back, and the ghostly follower ran back with his footsteps, until he ran a long way in the direction of Bolovite station, the echo gradually died down, until it disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Su Mengfan stopped.

He didn't know and couldn't know what it was.

Neither his friends nor Hunter, who sat by the fire at night and told him stories, had never said anything like it to him.

But who was that voice that whispered to him and ordered him to stop?

And this inexplicable voice didn't just appear this time, it also appeared when I was in a daze.

It doesn't just sound like a magical sound that disturbs the mind, but it may also be the shackles of fate that guide one's choice of direction.

Now, Su Mengfan is no longer so scared and has time to think about this matter - it still sounds very convincing.

For the next twenty or ten minutes, he sat on the rails, swaying from side to side as if drunk, trying to keep his tremors under control.

Thinking back to that weird voice that didn't seem to belong to humans, the voice that ordered him to stop.

He didn't move on until he felt that his trembling had ceased, and the terrible whispering in his head had melted into the now quiet air of the tunnel.

From now on, he just kept walking, trying not to think about anything. Sometimes he would trip over the cables laying on the ground, but nothing more terrible would happen again.

Time didn't seem very long to him, although he couldn't tell how much, because every second that passed seemed to disappear into the darkness.

Then, he saw a light at the end of the tunnel.

Metropolis has arrived.

That's Metropolitan Station!
At this moment, the shouts of beasts accompanied by gunshots came from the platform, and Su Mengfan quickly retreated to the recess of the tunnel wall to hide.

He heard the lingering cry of someone injured in the distance, the sound of curses, and then the sound of an automatic rifle shot that rippled through the tunnel.

Just waiting...a full quarter of an hour passed,

After all is at peace,

Only then did Su Mengfan pluck up the courage to come out from where he was hiding.

He raised his hand and walked slowly in the direction of the light.
