It takes courage to walk in the dark.
Just after a crisis, everyone in the darkness was filled with panic, sensitivity and fear.
In the tunnels that were completely sealed at both ends, the warmth of sunlight could not touch here, and here darkness controlled everything.
But Merlin was walking in the darkness, and the shadow of the cover flowed over his body, even giving him a peace of mind even more than the sun, as if returning to his home.
There was no obstruction in front of him. Even in the absence of lights, he could still clearly see the darkness.
Probably the vision was suppressed in the dark, and Merlin felt his hearing and perception became more acute.
He could hear the whispers of women in the crowd, the children's repressed crying, the breath of men who were busy looking for a way out in the dark darkness, even when his fingers touched the surface of the icy tunnel, which happened on the rocks The internal micro-splits, those rock structures that have become unstable due to impact.
He moved forward like a shadow in the crowd without touching anyone, and he was careful not to expose his anomalies.
But in fact, he is adapting to darkness at an alarming rate.
He was mixed in the crowd. Without any attention, Merlin grabbed the edge of the overturned car and jumped into the thicker darkness. He moved along the rails covered with debris. Soon, he would Out of the crowd gathering place.
"Bang, bang, bang."
And at the moment when he went deep into the darkness, he heard the sound of the car squeezed and deformed from the front.
It was a rhythmic percussion, but it was very weak.
That should be the passengers trapped in the car, helpless for help.
Merlin looked around and pulled the cowboy hat's brim down on his head again, just like the original Phantom Moguer, he blocked most of his face with the brim and added the shade of sunglasses.
In this darkness, almost no one can see him, and no one can recognize him.
With a keen sense, Merlin quickly determined the location of the knocking sound. He lowered his body and crawled into the corner of the back of the stone wall following the collision between the two cars. He pressed his hand against the carriage, curled his fingers, and gently pried it against the wall, as if responding to the knocking sound.
This knocking sound is very low, but for those trapped passengers, it is tantamount to a heavenly call.
The next second, the knocking sound became hurried, and there was a very childish, pointy, childish voice that sounded in the darkness.
Despite his efforts to suppress it, Merlin could still hear a trace of fear and helplessness in the voice.
"Anyone? Is anyone outside? Save us! My mother fainted, I was caught, please, save us!"
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
Merlin responded deliberately with a rough voice. He moved his hands and feet, allowing himself to move forward a few steps in the crack, then raised his head, and saw a messy hair in the broken window, and some black on his face. Grey little girl.
She was sitting at the bottom of the carriage, looking around.
Her arm was caught in the collapsed box, but judging from her expression, she should not have been injured. At the little girl's feet, there was a fainting lady. That should be her mother.
Compared with her lucky daughter, this lady's luck is not very good. She may have been hit by a fallen box and caused a coma, but there was not much blood on the ground.
This also made Merlin a little relieved.
"child."
Merlin continued to shout in a rough voice:
"Just stay there, don't move, I'll find a tool."
Merlin's voice sounded again, causing the little girl to raise her head violently. But she didn't have Merlin's dark vision. She could only see the darkness in front of her, as if talking to a ghost, which really made the little girl feel scared.
"Sir? Where are you? I can't see you."
She said this deliberately, then flinched back.
This action shook the suitcase stacked around her, made the little girl exclaim, and also surprised Merlin. If those heavy boxes collapsed, the little girl would definitely be injured.
"do not move!"
Merlin's tone became milder:
"I can see you, just keep this action, don't move...I will come back soon to save you, and your mother. Little girl, believe me, will you?"
After talking, Merlin stepped back a few steps, lowered his body again, and climbed out of the twisted concave passage of the carriage.
Merlin made some sounds deliberately to make the sensitive little girl feel at ease.
But after Merlin left, the little girl trapped in the corner shrank her head in fear. She looked down at the unconscious mother. She sniffed and used a crying voice to her mother. Say to yourself:
"Don't be afraid, Mom, someone has come to save us."
"Sounds like a big brother, he will definitely come back, right?"
"We will definitely be saved."
But the comatose mother failed to respond to her, which made the tears in the little girl's eyes could not help but to flow down, but she tried hard to hold back.
She kept breathing deeply, trying to calm herself down.
In the dark, the 7-year-old girl maintained a posture in which her arms were bound by a fortified box. She was very tired, but she knew that she could not move.
The danger is not over yet.
After seeing the hope, it is difficult to continue to wait. The little girl raised her head once every 10 seconds on average, and raised her ears like a bunny. She tried to hear a sound in the dark, but Merlin seemed to disappear completely.
1 minute, 2 minutes, soon, 5 minutes passed.
The expectant little girl's heart sank little by little, and all sorts of unreasonable conjectures began to reverberate in her mind.
Like most other people trapped in the dark, she began to make up her own brain and started to scare herself.
The little girl's inner fear grew stronger, but just before she was crushed by her fantasy, the sound of steel collision suddenly awakened her from her fantasy.
The little girl was startled. She looked up and saw a twisted steel rod that was inserted in the place where the two cars collided and twisted. Merlin held the stick in one hand and used the power of breastfeeding.
He couldn't shake the two cars crammed together, nor could he separate them as easily as the heroes in the comics, but he could use the simplest lever principle to pry open the doors that had been completely sealed.
"boom"
The prying car door smashed into the darkness and made a huge noise. Merlin walked short into the car and hurried to the little girl and her mother. He reached out and picked up the box that pressed the little girl's arm. One pushed away.
In the dark, he said gently to the seemingly terrified girl:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Merlin reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He moved the last box away and let the trapped girl free. At the next moment, the silent girl opened her hands and hugged Merlin's leg.
Merlin froze for a moment.
He could feel the little girl's body shaking, and she must have been terrified.
She shouldn't have experienced all this, and the source of all this was him.
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He tried to get rid of these negative emotions. He reached out and touched the little girl's messy hair. He said to the little girl:
"Let me go first, I will take your mother out...you follow me, be careful, okay?"
The little girl released her hand obediently, and she watched Merlin lean down and hug her unconscious mother. She held out her hand, grabbed Merlin's clothing corner, and walked in this twisted, dark place.
After being rescued, the girl finally felt a little relieved.
She doesn't need to be afraid anymore.
When Merlin walked out of the car, a light illuminated the darkness in the darkness behind the tunnel. Obviously, this was the sound of Merlin's prying of the car door that just alerted other people.
Merlin heard clear footsteps, there should be at least 7 people rushed over, there are men and women.
Merlin put the unconscious lady on the ground. He crouched down and touched the head of the sensible girl. He said to the girl:
"You stay here, and soon your uncle and aunt will come to help you. Also, don't tell anyone else, have you seen me, okay?"
The little girl's eyes blinked in the dark, and Merlin could see that they were very beautiful brown eyes. She also had long, fluffy blond hair, just like a cute doll.
Faced with Merlin's request, the little girl tilted her head as if thinking, she asked:
"why?"
"Just like I saved you just now, I'm going to help others now. But I don't like working with other people, I prefer to do things by myself."
"In short, say goodbye, brave little girl."
Merlin stood up, waved goodbye to the little girl, turned and walked towards the darkness ahead, and the little girl shouted behind him:
"What's your name?"
"Merlin."
A deep voice came from far away, representing Merlin's rapid going.
"Okay! I promise you, Merlin."
There was no echo in the darkness, and no answer.
Merlin has gone deep into the darkness, he has left.
After nearly 15 minutes of marching in the dark, Merlin reached the end of the train. Several compartments loaded with cargo rolled over here. The carriage itself, along with the heavy cargo, blocked the tunnel exit, and some rocks were mixed in it. It is also extremely difficult to climb the obstacles in front of you.
Merlin could hear in the other direction that some men were discussing ways to open this obstacle.
But as the old man said, those methods take time, and in the present situation, if people do not see hope, it is easy for people to do something that hurts themselves and hurts others in the dark.
Merlin knew that he had the ability to open the heavy obstacles in front of his eyes, just as he did in the psychic shop in Chicago.
But the problem is that he has no idea how to use the dark and dangerous power.
However, he already had some speculation in his heart.
Combined with the encounter in the Chicago psychic store, Merlin speculates that the dark power flowing in his body will only actively explode when he encounters a strong external threat, eliminating all threats around him.
It's like the weird demon bell that the old liar in Chicago brought out.
In the outbreak last night, Merlin did not completely lose his will in the posture of turning into a smoke storm. He even remembered clearly that his consciousness was integrated into the perception of the dark smoke-like storm, the gesture of turning into the wind and fluttering lightly.
He could feel that the power in his body was full of darkness and extremely dangerous, but it was not inherently malicious. It is most likely because it was forcibly disconnected from the main body and stayed in Merlin’s body for too short a time, and it failed to give birth to its own consciousness.
So in theory, Merlin can use it freely, as long as Merlin finds a way.
"Ok."
Merlin moved his shoulders and arms, as if warming up.
In the dark, he took a deep breath and stretched his left hand against the heavy obstacle in front of him. He tried to calm down his will. After a while, he said:
"come out!"
However, this call was useless except for some echoes.
Those dark forces stayed in his body without any slight changes, as if dismissive of Merlin.
"Damn it."
The young man scolded him secretly, he changed his posture and shouted again, but still no response. After a few minutes, the continuous shouting attracted the attention of the men on the other side. Merlin could hear the noisy footsteps approaching.
There is not much time.
Merlin gritted his teeth. He lowered his head and looked on the ground. A few seconds later, he picked up a broken bottle.
He stared at the sharp glass in his hand, he thought he must be crazy. It must have been the old man who just poured him a fascinating soup before giving him such a crazy idea.
But now, like a coward, either leave here and wait for bad things to happen.
Or...
Just use extreme methods and try again.
In the dark, Merlin held the broken glass in both hands. In the dark, he whispered:
"Either work, or simply die as a human."
"Have you heard? Whatever you are!"
Merlin's tone became stubborn, as if he was talking to an invisible person. He gritted his teeth and said:
"I won't let you turn me... into a monster!"
At the next moment, Merlin's hands huddled inward, and the sharp glass slag, like a dagger, pierced his heart.
There is no stay, it does not seem to be hypocritical, and exhausts its strength.
Just when the sharp broken glass pierced Merlin's skin, and the moment Merlin felt the pain, the silent power in his body recovered again in the darkness.
"Om"
In less than a second, Merlin was transformed into darkness, mixed with the wind of Mars. In the scream, the dark wind hit the mountain-like obstacle in front of him.
It's like a giant's fist, hammering the pile of steel and cargo.
Merlin twisted his vague consciousness, feeling like a flame that burned everything, and ignited everything he came into contact with.
This power was indeed offensive. When it touched the pile of obstacles, a loud explosion sounded in the tunnel, which shocked everyone in the darkness.
Then came the second loud noise, the third.
Carriage made of steel, heavy sleepers, iron ingots forged into the factory, beautiful thick glass.
Whatever it is, it is shocked, melted, and ignited.
After three brutal collisions, Merlin, who had returned to the human body, lay weakly on the ground of the tunnel. In front of him, a dawn of the dawn was like a piercing dark sword, and shone on him.
Behind him, there was an obstacle that was broken arbitrarily from the center, which was more than 10 meters thick. It was like being reopened with a circular gap.
"Oh, did it..."
Merlin felt pain all over the body, not just soreness, but also the strange tingling of the sunlight on his face. He was weak and had no energy in his body, as if all his energy had been hollowed out.
But he gave a difficult and contented laugh.
He caused a disaster.
He ended the disaster, he atoned.
"Wow!"
A voice rang behind Merlin, and the weak young man turned around and saw the little girl he had just saved, looking at him in dumbfounded, like looking at a real monster, like a real hero.
From her staring eyes, this little girl must have witnessed the scene just before.
And in the darkness behind her, Merlin heard the footsteps of many people. That was the sound of running, the instinct of human beings to light.
Weak Merlin climbed up hard. He picked up his cowboy hat from his feet and buckled it on his head. He raised his finger and put it on his mouth. Under the sunlight, he made a little girl behind him Forbidden sound action.
Before those rescued by him rushed into the light, Merlin had limped and left the tunnel under the sunshine.
As if...
He never appeared the same.
