By this time, the girl had already set the table, Su Mengfan and Arkady Seminovich began to drink the usual, but very good, moonshine, and the meat was readily ready.

"It should be unpleasant for you to stay at the station." An hour and a half later, Su Mengfan said frankly, "It's too cruel here, it's terrible!" ”

"We're used to it." Arkady 슷 Seminovich shook his head vaguely, "People live here, it's no better than in ......"

"No, don't think I don't understand." Su Mengfan felt offended by the head of the Kiev station, and he hurriedly calmed him down.

"You must have done everything you could...... But something must have happened here. @ Everybody is talking about one thing, people are missing. ”

"They lie!" Arcade. Seminovic interrupted him, but he added, "Not all of them are missing, just children. ”

"Did the dead take them?"

"I don't know who took them away. I don't believe in death, I've experienced death many times in my life, don't be mistaken.

They don't take people anywhere. They themselves lay there quietly. There, outside that wall. Arkady Seminovic pointed his finger in the direction of Victory Park and almost lost his balance.

"There's someone, that's for sure, and we can't go there."

"Why?" Su Mengfan tried hard to look at his wine glass, but his eyes became more and more blurry, as if he was about to leave secretly.

"Wait a minute, I'll show you ......"

The stationmaster jerked off the table, struggled to his feet, and staggered to the cabinet. He rummaged through one of the shelves, carefully bringing a long, thick-headed, barbed metal pin to the light.

"What's that?" Su Mengfan frowned.

"That's what I want you to see......"

"Where did you get that?"

"From the neck of the lookout guarding the tunnel to the right, he lay there, purple, foaming at the mouth, barely bleeding from it."

"Are they from Victory Park?" Su Mengfan guessed.

"Hell if anyone knows." Arkady Seminovic muttered to himself while knocking over the glass.

"But," he added, putting the needle back in the cupboard, "don't tell anyone." ”

"But why didn't you tell anyone yourself? They will help you, people will calm down. ”

No, no one will calm down, all will run away, like rats!

They're running away now...... Won't fight anyone to protect himself, people don't see him, that's why he's scary.

So, I show them this needle, so what?

Do you think everything will work out?

It's ridiculous!

Everybody's going to disappear, bastard, leave me here alone!

So, what kind of station master would I be without the people? Captain without a ship! He raised his voice, but after a scream, fell silent.

"Akasha, Akasha, you don't have to, everything is fine......" The girl was startled, sat down beside him, and stroked his head.

Su Mengfan sadly learned through the haze of drinking that she was not the daughter of the stationmaster.

"All the people will run away, dogs. Mother-raised! Escaping from the ship like a rat, I'm alone, but we won't give in! "He hasn't calmed down yet.

Su Mengfan struggled to his feet and staggered towards the door.

The guard at the door pinched his face in confusion and nodded towards Arkady Seminovich's office.

"Got drunk." Su Mengfan muttered to himself, "It's best not to touch him before tomorrow." ”

Then he staggered towards his tent with a heavy, slow pace.

He had to find his way, and several times he almost walked into someone else's house, when the man's rude curse and the woman's shrill screams told him that he had gone to the wrong tent.

The result was that moonshine was stronger than cheap homemade wine, and he was only now beginning to feel its intensity, and the arches and columns floated before his eyes, worst.

Cake is, he began to feel nauseous. @·error-free start~~

If it were a normal time, someone might have helped him find his tent, but now the station seemed completely empty, and there was no one standing guard even at the exit of the tunnel.

There were still three or four faint lights on the whole station, and the whole platform was dark.

When Su Mengfan stood and looked around carefully, he felt that something was quietly brewing here, and it was full of darkness.

Not believing his eyes, with curiosity and drunken courage, he slowly walked towards a suspicious place, at one of the arches at the turn not far from the line of Filfts Station.

The dark spot moves differently than other corners, it is not gradual, but abrupt, almost unhurried.

"Hey! Who's there? "It's only 15 paces from it," he shouted.

No one answered, but it seemed to him that an elongated figure was slowly emerging from a particular black spot.

It almost became one with the darkness.

However, Su Mengfan was sure that someone was watching him in the dark, and he swayed, but his steps to maintain balance took another step.

The shadow suddenly became smaller, as if it had shrunk and disappeared.

Suddenly, a disgusting smell rushed into Su Mengfan's nostrils, and he flinched.

What does that smell like?

The images that Su Mengfan had seen in the tunnel into the Fourth Reich appeared in front of his eyes, and the corpses with their hands tied behind their backs smelling of decay?

At that moment, a shadow of terrible speed, like an arrow shot from a crossbow, rushed towards him.

A pale face covered with strange spots and deeply sunken eyes flashed in front of Su Mengfan's eyes for a second.

"Dead!" Su Mengfan gasped and said.

Then his head split into a thousand pieces, the ceiling began to dance and flip, and then everything was gone.

Take on or fall into an illusory silence, hear a sound, flash some sight, and then disappear again.

"Mommy won't allow me, she's going to be angry," the child said from not far away.

"It really didn't work today, she cried all night. No, I'm not scared, you're not scary, you sing beautifully.

I just don't want to make my mom cry anymore, don't feel hurt! Well, maybe just a little while...... Will we be back before the morning? ”

“…… Waste of time, waste of time. A low man repeated.

"We didn't do it all day, it wasn't early. Get up, don't lie there.

Get up, if you're disappointed, if you back down or give up, someone else will soon take your place. I'm still fighting, and you should stand up too! You don't understand......"

"Who is it this time? Webmaster, as a guest?

Okay, of course, I'll bring one!

Let's go, you help too...... Leg wagging, harsh ...... You don't care what is clanging in his pocket?

Okay, okay, I'm kidding. And so we have done everything we can.

I won't, I won't, I'm leaving ......".
