36 Crazy (1/2)

”Is this the end of a sewer system?” ivanic asked curiously.

”I think so, but we are not sure what this is the sewer system of… Come.” The woman waved towards the sewer system as she walked in.

As Niko and the others took a step inside of the huge hole, their noses were attacked by the pungent smell of sewage which made their eyes almost water.

”Don't worry, you'll get used to it.” The woman said as she continued walking inside.

Niko analyzed his surroundings, to make sure this wasn't a trap, and through their minds, Niko and his group agreed to stay farther back and allow Fumito's group to move ahead of them.

The woman extended her hand and a lantern appeared on it, as her watch lit up slightly. The inside of this sewage system was dull as the only thing that wasn't gray was the ground with stains of sewage water and other things. Their nose was still covered by their clothes as they kept moving forward.

It didn't take long until they were finally in a much more spacious area of the sewer. There were other people sitting around in this space as they looked towards the newcomers.

The space they were in was just like everything else, grey and dull. A few lanterns were placed here and there to light up the surroundings, revealing strange levers here and there as well as another huge hole that led deeper into the sewer system.

Looking around Niko was able to recognize a man who was on the corner sitting silently with his eyes shut. Dharma, the bald man he had been summoned with. He wore the same kind of robe that Niko was currently wearing and looked extremely peculiar as he was the only person in this place with a calm look on his face.

”Oh great, more survivors!” A man with full leather armor spoke on the side. He possessed short black hair and a tanned complexion, and on his back were two axes which were died in blood. Next to him was a woman who seemed to be in her late thirties, her hair was long and dirty down her back, as she also wore leather armor.

In all, there were four people in this space, Dharma, the armored man, and woman, as well as a woman still in her Earthly clothes sitting on the side, with her face in complete distraught as her blond hair was a complete mess.

Reaching their destination, the woman turned towards the group and spoke, ”We are here, get some rest whenever you feel like it.”

The armored man walked towards them, as the woman who brought them here went to the side to sit as well as her attitude was that of someone who couldn't be bothered.

”Hello, my name is Singh. It will get dark soon, and I know you guys are super tired, so feel free to get some rest. Tomorrow morning we will head out in search of a safer area.” The armored man spoke, as the others nodded.

Before he left he gave the names of everyone, ”That right there is Pryia...” he pointed at the other woman who was talking to him, ”The woman who brought you in is Veronica, that guy in the back there is… Uh… Just call him monk, and she is Adele.”
