The river of destiny.
This is a peculiar place. To quote Khan, "No one who has been to this place has ever come back... It can change your destiny, wash away the traces of the past, and give you the opportunity to start a new life."
This time Khan wanted to take Xie Yuan into the river because in addition to changing his destiny, if he had an obsessive and firm desire for a certain goal.
Then... then once he enters this river, he may enter a certain time and space, and the opportunity will be at his fingertips.
So in order to find the Black Monster, Khan asked me to think of one thing and one thing only: "The Black Monster must be found. This is the only prayer for this river."
Xie Yuan's curiosity and desire to explore were fully aroused. Khan may be a god, but he can also be regarded as a stickman who has a lot to say. A place that he regards as a "place where destiny changes" is absolutely extraordinary.
There were fewer and fewer places in the subway that he didn't understand, except for a few gloomy places... It was also a pleasure to follow an old guy who had traveled all over the subway to places he had never been before.
However, the road was not as difficult as Xie Yuan imagined - Khan was leading the way, but there were monsters that suddenly appeared on the road. Nosalis, for example, was just a little bit of a hindrance.
To be honest, the first half of the journey was not even an appetizer for Xie Yuan, but the boring journey ended abruptly when he encountered a mark.
It was an underground sewage pipe welded to a fence. The fence had been completely rusted and corroded, but what was attractive was the fact that there was a human skull embedded in the fence frame, with a cross symbol underneath.
The Khan wanted Xie Yuan to help pull out the fence frame, but Xie Yuan directly motioned to the Khan to get out of the way - such a rusty iron bar still needs two people?
He directly pointed his middle finger at the joints one by one, tapping lightly and briefly, and then like to break a biscuit, he ripped off each iron bar.
"Cool, the iron bars didn't even take any effort on your part." Khan couldn't help but praise.
"But I have never been to a place like this. I am still too narrow-minded. I sit in a well and look at the sky." Xie Yuanke did not dare to accept this kind of compliment. After all, this place really surprised him today.
In his perception, there was a very chaotic and strange magnetic field in front of him, and he was unable to read this internal environment.
The danger signal made his heart beat faster. This was a desperate situation! But Xie Yuan could also feel the strange energy of this place, and he really wanted to experience it.
Love reading books
After all, he has been wandering on the fifth level for a long time now, and the new direction of his state of mind and body has stagnated. Penance is a required course on the one hand, but more importantly, his state of mind has solidified.
He needs a new perspective, a new direction to break through the shackles again. The practice of kung fu is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat; but the practice of mind and state is always about experience and enlightenment.
There is stillness and movement, yin and yang, so it is unhealthy to be a widower all the time. How can we transcend without experiencing the world of mortals?
Still have to live in the present.
After burning a large piece of attached spider web, the two gradually came to a pool with water - seriously suspected to be a sewage pipe - but the depressing feeling began to become more and more serious.
"We're almost close." Khan jumped directly into the pool.
"We have to go into the water again," Xie Yuanman muttered reluctantly, and also jumped into the water. The filter with clothes was probably not too dirty - but the lower body was particularly uncomfortable because of the wetness.
Even Xie Yuan, who has extensive experience in armed swimming, cannot completely avoid this feeling of nausea.
"Crack!" But just as he walked into the pool, the flashlight in the hand of a skeleton next to him suddenly had unstable voltage and exploded! Xie Yuan immediately put out his flashlight - electrical appliances caused by magnetic fields can easily be destroyed by surrounding pulses.
And it wasn't like Xie Yuan didn't have a light source in his hand - the 14.5mm anti-tank rifle cartridge case lighter directly lit up a large cluster of flames that illuminated the surroundings.
When I used the flashlight, the cold energy filled my body, and it really brought a little warmth at this moment... Don't you feel that too many people have died here?
Why is Yin Qi so strong? ! ! But fortunately, the energy pulse just now was not a singularity - if it were a singularity, it would be dead. Dirty water is a good conductive medium.
"The darkness is devouring us," Khan, who also turned off the lights, reminded Xie Yuan, although he knew that his follower might have an easier time surviving in this environment than he did.
But he still had to fulfill his duty as a guide. He also took out a bullet case lighter from his pocket, lit the fire, and reminded: "We must not get lost in it.
Don't be impulsive now, and don't be surprised either. "
As he spoke, he walked into the waterway by the light of the lighter's candle.
The waterway must have been popular in the past - the wooden supports on the top prove that it has been repaired. However, it is estimated that the surrounding radiation concentration is too high, and some places even have strong magnetic field interference.
And this kind of interference definitely has the effect of affecting people's sanity - right in front, suddenly highlighted!
A public hand-cranked telephone left behind in a wall of debris suddenly began to sound "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!"
"Gulu" Xie Yuan swallowed his spit.
He didn't even know how to explain what happened before - there was no shadow, so there was no ghost influence; this was not before the war, and there were no surveillance cameras nearby. Who would call? Who controls the communications switchboard?
"I think this call is for you." Khan reminded him as he was following Xie Yuan.
"I guess, let's see who it is?" Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xie Yuan went straight over and grabbed the phone, ready to answer——
"Artyom?" After hearing this, Xie Yuan suddenly tightened the microphone in his hand - he swore he hadn't heard this voice for twenty years!
"...Son, is that you?...Artyom?" The greeting suddenly began to ask urgently for confirmation.
"..." Xie Yuan no longer knows how to answer, saying that he is alive and well as of today? That he is now almost famous in the Moscow subway world and has no worries about food and clothing? Said that he already has a girlfriend and is planning to get married soon?
There are too many things to say, too many things in my heart...but I can't say anything now.
The light above my head started to turn on and off. Could it be that the energy transfer was not enough? He had to hurry up, he mustered up his last bit of courage, saved up... and then output——
"Mom, I'm fine, you're on the other side, take care of yourself."
Whether this is an enemy and creditor, a haunting spirit, the mischievous trajectory of a ghost, or it is really a message sent to him by his mother in the world of the dead, these are the true words from his heart.
So no matter what her reply was, Xie Yuan still hung up the phone - he had finished what he said in his heart, his eyes were not clear and his heart was no longer bothered.
