Someone once said that there is another city hidden underground in Renwithin, which contains countless treasures, cultural relics and a huge secret that reveals the history of mankind. The city government presided over the construction of the underground railway that runs through the entire urban area of Renwithin, not for convenience.
Instead of transporting citizens, they were digging roads leading to that city. Later, some underground people who had lived in the darkness for thirty years and finally returned to the world because they could not bear the loneliness said that in the area near Roald
Underground, you will sometimes see white ghosts floating past, asking every living creature: "Do you know where my home is?"
There are countless legends like this, which together form the dark and mysterious impression of the underground world among the citizens of Lunweting. The subway itself has also transformed from a means of transportation into a strange image, as if these things are fifty meters deep under their feet.
The giant steel snake that roars past is actually a messenger from another world, and will take the selected passengers to a distant and unknown city at a specific moment.
A hundred years later, the first group of old people who witnessed the opening of the subway and were so frightened that they trembled have long since passed away, but similar rumors are still circulating in the streets and are heard from time to time.
The mist was obscure and the lights were dim. Walking on the railway tracks that had been abandoned for many years at the Nordrode subway platform, feeling the mildew and sour smell emanating from the rotten sleepers and rusty rails, Olvera finally understood what had happened.
How do the citizens of Renwetting, who are keen on such rumors, feel?
The roaring giant steel snake symbolizes the masterpiece of modern industrial technology and has shocking power. It is said that when the Moryya people first saw the figure of the train passing by in the wilderness, they mistakenly thought it was the coming of the big snake in disaster.
The human world will swallow up all houses and fields. The subsequent expansion of train tracks and the abandonment of suburban villages undoubtedly confirmed their predictions.
And when such a huge giant snake is walking through the ground fifty meters deep under your feet, and you can vaguely feel that the ground is shaking violently due to its movement, but you can't see its figure, you will naturally feel something in your heart.
A feeling of awe. This has nothing to do with superstition or ignorance. It is the instinct flowing in human blood: awe of the dark underground, awe of the unknown world, the awe of being able to survive in the middle of nowhere just by swallowing hot water, coal and steam.
The awe of the cold, hard and emotionless steel giant that arrived in any urban area of Renwetting within an hour... together shaped the origin of the legend.
They are afraid of the power of industry, and are astonished that the combination of ordinary things can destroy the old world and create a new one. They have a premonition that they seem to be eliminated by this era, so they are at a loss what to do. When they stood at North Roald Station
Are the passengers on the platform waiting for the subway to enter the station taking a new type of transportation, or are they desperate to squeeze into every corner of this giant steel snake that symbolizes the direction of the times with the consciousness of sacrificing their lives?
What about in the mouth?
With these thoughts in mind, she gradually became fascinated by the bizarre scenes described by Woolf Gate in "The Underworld". Sometimes, due to the interruption of the railway, she was reminded of Myerson Kenny King's "The Dark Guest".
The description of the subway emergency braking described it as a stranding of a giant whale, causing the small fish in the dark deep sea to swing their fish tails uneasily, "feeling that they were about to be swallowed."
The abandoned subway, full of images of desolation, depression and decay, will undoubtedly stimulate the imagination hidden in the literary girl's bones, allowing her to connect similar descriptions in every book she has read with the scene in front of her, thus sprouting more ideas.
Mysterious throbbing. This is the romance of the old times and the unique charm of the city's history. It makes the princess of Beman wander here and cannot extricate herself.
It wasn't until Lorena, who was sitting in a wheelchair, whispered a reminder that she realized that she seemed to have left her companions behind for some distance.
The princess felt that the speed of pushing the wheelchair was neither fast nor slow, but in fact it was an illusion. She walked too fast and was too focused, and did not notice that her companions had been lost within the area covered by lights, and could only vaguely hear
The voice of Sister Livia calling. Under Rorona's half-smiling gaze, Olvera's face turned red and she didn't give herself any excuses. She stopped obediently and waited for her companions to catch up.
The first people to catch up were Metien and the little goblin above her, Semi.
"Hoo, ho! Sister Olvera, you are walking too fast!"
The little pink-haired girl said breathlessly. It seemed that the road condition on the abandoned railway track, which was full of gravel and broken sleepers, was not friendly to her two short legs. Then two more people broke into the light-filled building.
Within the range were Sister Livia, who looked worried, and Leticia, who was flying in the air with two bat wings. The latter, as a vampire of the night, was at ease in this dark environment and did not show any discomfort.
"Sorry." Olvera looked slightly embarrassed: "I, I was too absorbed in watching and didn't notice you. Meridian, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest first?"
Sister Livia answered on behalf of the little girl: "You can indeed take a rest first. We are still half way to the next platform back to the ground, so don't worry."
The pink-haired little girl actually wanted to rest a long time ago, but was too embarrassed to say it. She immediately nodded in agreement and almost shook off Xie Mi from her head. Leticia, who landed on the ground, looked at the little elf with disdain and muttered.
: "He only sits on Metien's head and never walks on his own. After all, he is still a lazy dog!"
Xie Mi hummed twice, but felt proud: "Not convinced? If not convinced, you can still sit on it!"
"Uh, this... hahaha."
Metien laughed dryly, feeling that with Leticia's weight, he probably couldn't bear it, so he brushed off the topic, and then quickly moved to the next topic: "By the way, Sister Olvera, you were watching just now
What are you so obsessed with?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ah? Oh, I'm looking at this railway." Olvera, who was already sitting on a big rock to rest, replied: "Although it has been abandoned for a long time,
There are still some traces that can show the state of the original construction and operation. You see, there is a section of sleepers here. I don’t know how it got to this place. Was it moved here, or was it the function of water?"
Metien tilted her head and couldn't quite understand, but she thought: "You look just like Ringer when you were in school, Sister Olvera."
Olvera was stunned for a moment: "Yes, is that so?"
"Yes." Metien nodded: "When Lin Ge was still in college, he would often take me to the floating ruins on the outskirts of the city when he came home during the holidays. He also told me about the history of Marshal Napoleon and the origin of the ruins. He
He seems to like these things very much.”
After listening to her words, Olvera remembered that it turned out that Lin Ge was a college student in the history department.
Have you become a bit like him? Is that the case, or is it influenced by him? The princess couldn't help holding her chin and fell into thought.
Lorena pushed her wheelchair and wandered around leisurely, not afraid of the dark, but wondering if she could find some materials suitable for alchemy; Leticia and Semi were at this moment because of their little quarrel just now.
While they were confronting each other with big eyes and small eyes, Sister Livia was trying to persuade them with a helpless expression. As for Metien, she seemed to have become somewhat interested in the nearby subway ruins because of Olvera's words, so she curiously
Along the direction of the extension of the railway track, I started looking for it. Of course, I didn't go too far.
After about ten minutes passed like this, I felt that everyone's physical strength should have been almost restored. Sister Livia, who had finally calmed the two problem children, clapped her hands gently and attracted the attention of others: "Okay,
Everyone, the time is almost up, let’s move on..."
Before he finished speaking, Metien's surprised voice suddenly came from the front: "Huh?"
"Come over and take a look, there seems to be something here?"
