Su Mengfan was taken aback and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"You hear the voice of the dead. You say that at first you heard a whisper or a rustle? That's the voice of the dead! ”

"Which of the dead?" Su Mengfan didn't quite understand.

"The people who died in the subway from the very beginning. This can be used to explain why I am the most recent reincarnation of Genghis Khan. There will be no more reincarnations of others.

My friend, everyone has come to their end. I don't know how it is, but now humanity is going too far.

There is no heaven, there is no hell, and of course, there is no painful purgatory.

Well, there will be no more refuge. When the soul is separated from the body - I want you to at least believe in the immortal soul, the existence of the soul is as real as this kettle!

Regardless, our souls who have nowhere else are unwilling to give up their bodies. We humans have destroyed heaven and hell.

Now, we live again in the place where the soul of this person rests after death. Do you understand what I'm talking about?

You will die, but your tormented soul will not be reincarnated. Because without heaven, you won't get a moment of peace and tranquility for your soul.

As a result, you are destined to stay forever in the place where you have lived for the rest of your life, in the subway.

Maybe I can't give you a definite explanation, but I do know one thing:

In our world, the soul of a person after death stays in the subway...... They crowd under the arches of these underground tunnels until the end of time, because they have nowhere to go.

The subway combines material life with the end of another world.

Now, both the Garden of Eden and Hell are here, and they are mixed together.

We live in the midst of the souls of the dead, who form a complete circle—some of whom have been crushed by cars, killed by gunshots, suffocated, burned, eaten by monsters, or otherwise died mysteriously, and the living have no idea of all of this, and cannot imagine.

A long time ago, I struggled to figure out where they went, why I couldn't feel their presence, why you couldn't feel a glimmer of light or a cold breeze from the darkness......

Have you ever heard of tunnel phobia?

I used to think that the dead were blindly following us through the tunnel, one step at a time.

When we looked back, they quickly hid in the dark. The naked eye is completely useless, you can't see the dead with them. But yours

The restlessness, the erection of hair, and the perceived chill on the body are proof of the existence of these unobservable followers.

I used to think so. But now, your story tells me more.

Somehow, they got into the pipes, into the lines of traffic......

A long time ago, before my father or even my grandfather was born, there was a small river in the city of death above us.

The people who lived there knew how to intercept the river and how to channel it into today's underground pipes.

It seems that someone brought the River Styx into these pipes...... Your friend isn't saying his own words — no, that's not him.

It was the voice of the dead.

They spoke their words through the mouth of your friend. Then they devoured him. ”

Su Mengfan stared at Khan, and after listening to his long monologue, he couldn't take his gaze away from the man's face.

A vague gloom swept over Khan's face, his eyes glowing......

At the end of the story, Su Mengfan was almost sure that Khan was crazy, and the voice in the pipe must have said something to him.

Although Khan rescued him from death and was friendly to him, Su Mengfan felt uncomfortable and unhappy at the thought of being with Khan.

He needs to figure out how to move on through the sinister subway tunnel, from Sukharev to Pak Pai and beyond.

"So, I have to ask you to forgive me for my little lie,"

After a pause, the khan added, "Your friend's soul has not gone to the Creator, he will not be reincarnated and will not return in a new form.

He joined the ranks of the unfortunate, and stayed in the pipeline with them. ”

These words reminded Su Mengfan that he had planned to go back and bring Bourbon's body to the station.

Bourbon said he had friends here. If they successfully arrive, they will send Su Mengfan back.

So, he remembered the rucksack in Bourbon, which Su Mengfan hadn't opened yet.

In addition to the bullets from the machine gun that Bourbon gave to Su Mengfan, there should be other useful things in it.

However, the thought of opening it, Su Mengfan felt a trace of fear, and Su Mengfan began to be a little superstitious.

He decided to open it a little bit, just to look at it, and not to touch anything.

"You don't have to be afraid of him," as if Khan sensed his uneasiness, he unexpectedly suddenly said to Su Mengfan, "This thing is yours." ”

Su Mengfan whispered, "I think this is plunder." ”

"You don't have to be afraid of punishment, he won't be reincarnated." Khan didn't answer Su Mengfan's words, but it was what Su Mengfan was thinking about.

"I think when they enter the pipeline, the dead have no ego and become part of the whole.

Their will merges with the will of the other dead, and reason is lost. There are no more individuals.

But if you are afraid of the living and not of the dead...... Then, drag this bag to the middle of the station, pour all the contents on the ground, and no one will accuse you of stealing, and your conscience will be clean.

But you have always wanted to save this person, and he will be grateful to you. So think of it this way, this package is your reward for doing things for him. ”

His confident and firm words gave Su Mengfan the courage to reach into the bag, and he began to take out the contents of the bag and place them on the tarp so that he could see them clearly in the firelight.

In addition to the two bullets he picked out when he handed the gun to Su Mengfan, there were four other spare bullets.

Strangely, how could a merchant have such weapons and equipment?

Su Mengfan carefully wrapped five of the bullets, put them in a canvas bag, and placed the other one in the Kalashnikov gun that Bourbon gave him.

The weapon is in good condition: the whole is oiled and well protected. The locking is smooth, but the fuse is sluggish and stiff, suggesting that it is a new gun.

It fits well in his hands, and the barrel of the gun is polished. It is a weapon that instills trust, calmness and confidence.

Su Mengfan immediately decided that if he wanted to take something from Bourbon, it would be this gun.

The machine-gun bullets that Bourbon had promised him for Su Mengfan's "labor" were not here, and he couldn't think of how Bourbon had planned to pay him.

Perhaps Bourbon never really wanted to pay him back, but wanted to shoot himself in the back of the head after passing the most dangerous part and throw him into the ventilation shaft as if nothing had happened.

If someone asks Su Mengfan, he will have many answers: anything that may happen in the subway and in the well is easy to win the audience's trust.

So, Su Mengfan recognized his idea.

In addition to various rags, a map of the subway and 100 grams of weeds that only its owner could understand, he found several pieces of bacon in a plastic bag and a notebook in his backpack.

Su Mengfan didn't look at the notebook and was disappointed with the other things in the backpack.

In the depths of his soul, he wanted to find something mysterious or precious—something that might explain Bourbon's decision to go through the tunnel to {Sukharev Station}.

He thought Bourbon might be a correspondent, or a smuggler, or something.

That would at least explain why he insisted on going through this damn tunnel at any cost and agreeing to be generous.

However, after pulling out the last pair of linen strips, there was nothing left in the backpack, and Su Mengfan thought that there must be another reason for him to insist on doing so.

As for what Bourbon was going to do {Sukharev Station}, Su Mengfan thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with any reasonable reason.

Then he remembered that the poor man had been left in the middle of the tunnel, to the rats.

Although he planned to go back to collect the body, in fact, he just wanted to leave the merchant with the last dignity.

As for what to do with the body, burn it?

Then you need to be strong-willed, the pungent smell of burning meat and the smoke from burning hair will fill the tunnel, and then he will inevitably be sad.

Dragging a corpse to the station would certainly be heavy and horrifying. It's one thing to drag someone you think is alive with your wrist, and you don't think he's out of breath and pulse.

But dragging a corpse is another matter. So what to do?

Just as Bourbon lied to him about his payment, he can also lie to this guy about the station.

However, if the corpse was dragged here, perhaps Su Mengfan's situation would be even worse.

After thinking for a long time, Su Mengfan asked Khan, "Then how did you deal with those corpses?" ”

The Khan did not answer, but immediately asked two questions: "What do you mean, my friend?" Do you mean the souls of the dead or their decomposing corpses? ”

Su Mengfan roared: "It's a corpse!" He began to get tired of talking to this god-like guy about Hades.

"There are two tunnels between {Sukharev station} and {Peace Avenue station}," Khan said.

Su Mengfan thought that the car travels in both directions, so it usually needs two tunnels. But why did Bourbon choose such a fate, knowing that there was a second tunnel?

Is the second tunnel more dangerous?

Khan continued: "I told you, but you can only go on your own, in this second tunnel, not far from our station, the ground is deep and the floor is collapsing.

There is also a deep valley where, according to local legend, an entire train once fell into it.

If you stand on the edge of a deep valley, you can't see it for what it really is. Even the brightest flashlight can't reach the valley floor.

So, a lot of fools say it's a bottomless abyss.

This deep valley is our grave, into which we throw all the corpses here. ”
