he came from the void

Chapter 32 Self Doubt

When Kane arrived, he just saw Kesha roaring and destroying the monster.

It was the first time he'd seen Keisha so angry...something must have happened!

Keisha didn't respond to his approach until he put his hand on her shoulder and Keisha turned her head slightly.

Keisha took off her helmet, and he saw her look of loneliness under the reflection of the embers.

"Kane, why is the first person I met who would rather die than stay away from me? Am I scarier than death?"

Keisha will not hide it from Kane, Kane has already guessed the matter in a word.

Kane took off his helmet, stroked her unruly hair and comforted her softly: "No, if that's the case, how did I survive until now?"

It's a pity that his joke didn't work. Keisha pressed his arm down, wrapped it around her neck like a scarf, stared blankly at the burning skeleton, and began to tell him the ins and outs of the matter.

……

After the story was over, Keisha, who felt greatly wronged, couldn't restrain the sadness in her heart no matter how much she could bear it, and sobbed softly.

After Kane sorted out everything, he re-answered Kesha's question just now.

"You can save him from the hands of monsters, but you can't stop him from making his own choices."

He sighed, how many people can remain rational when faced with the threat of death?

The sense of threat Kesha brought him was actually no different from that of a void creature.Although she didn't mean it, every move she made seemed to be taking his life.

There is no evidence to say, since she can't prove that she is not a void creature, then she is.

Void creatures have always been evil before, without exception.

"How to choose is his business, but I think the reason lies with me. If the person who saved him was a human being, would he have made such a choice? Obviously not."

Keisha bowed her head, her dark purple hair hanging down to cover her face.

Once a person starts to doubt himself, if he is not persuaded in time, he will give up on himself endlessly, and finally isolate himself from the world.

If there is no Kane, then Keisha may endure the pain and endure it and get used to it. She is strong and self-resolved and finally fixed into a positive personality.

But now with Kane, she's showing him all of her weaknesses and encountering humans at inopportune moments earlier.

If Kane fails to channel these negative emotions and allow them to pool in Kesha's immature mind, it can make her develop a personality that is worse than when she was alone with everything.

Fortunately, after seeing the ignorant nature of human beings, she is better for the only Kane who can understand herself;

The bad thing may be that her bad impression of human beings has been ingrained since then, and she returned the damage she had suffered intensified.

Kane can accept Kesha's transformation from naive to cruel, at least she won't be cruel to him.But the pathological dark personality... avoid it if you can.

He wants to see her also have the happiness of ordinary people, instead of taking pleasure in hurting others.Of course, she may also become the original monster girl who bears the notoriety but pays silently.

Butterflies are flapping their wings, making changes to their destiny all the time.

No matter what, it's time for him to make a change, while he can still control the general direction...

Kane followed Keisha's words and asked: "Then the question is, how can an ordinary little girl save an adult from the hands of a monster, and then send him back to the ground. With such abilities, she still stays underground What are you doing?"

Keisha was at a loss for words for a while, first of all, ordinary little girls couldn't survive here.

This is an unsolvable question, she said sadly: "Maybe this is my fate."

But she answered this verbally, but not quite in her heart.

No one would be willing to accept such a fate, and she still felt wronged and sad.

"Did I do something outrageous? Why should I be treated like this?"

Her crying leaked out between her clenched teeth, and she slammed into Kane's arms, crying to him about the grievance in her heart.

"Not all victims can understand each other, not all misunderstandings can be cleared up, you can no longer look at these things with a child's mind."

Kane did the psychological work.

If there is nothing wrong, you will be forgiven. This is the typical thinking of children who have not been beaten by society.Keisha has experienced the horrors of life and death, but she is still a blank slate when it comes to human sophistication.

"You saved them in order to retain your humanity and not let this skin eat you back. But most people are ignorant and paranoid. They selectively see the girl under the carapace because they understand your composition It's too difficult and too much trouble. They see the monster part first, and they see you as a monster, which is easier for them."

Humans are actually complex and contradictory creatures. They always like to simplify complex things, even if that distorts the original meaning of things.

How to understand the girl who turned into a monster?Is that a girl or a monster?

It's a monster.How can a normal girl turn into a monster?

"They would rather believe in a person whose inner being has been corrupted by the void than in a void creature within a human being. That's why I say that humans are ignorant and paranoid."

Kane said while stroking the edge of the void armor and human skin on Keisha's neck, meaning something.

"So I have been studying how to separate this layer of skin. When you return to the surface as a human girl, these prejudices seem to have never happened and no longer exist."

"But then I just changed to a non-controversial identity. Would that still be the complete me..." Kesha buried her head and took a deep breath. She was really greedy and wanted people to understand all her past and experiences.

Still, Kane could feel Kesha's suspicions easing, and he spoke cogently.

"You've always been you, but you can choose which you people see. Use people's prejudices well, and then they will think, how can such a good girl be a monster?"

Knowing that she craves complete approval from a pure human being, he added: "If you meet someone who is truly reliable as a friend, even if you show your complete self, you will be recognized."

"Will they be like you?" Kesha raised her head, staring at Kane with deep purple eyes.

"That won't work, there can only be one boyfriend."

Kane frowned slightly, and Keisha finally felt relieved, smiled, and pecked lightly on his face.

"Well, thank you for being so considerate of me."

The two separated from each other's arms, Kesha saw the dagger in Kane's hand, thought for a while and said:

"Kane, please help me cut my hair shorter."

Chapter 33 Seeing the Light Again

Keisha's words made Kane turn his eyes to her hair.

Her current hair is very strange, long hair hanging down to her chest, purple on the top and black on the bottom.

The purple part grows after co-existing with the skin armor.They grow very fast, as if to replace the original.

The two colors are not gradients, they are distinct, representing her life before and after falling into the void.

Cutting your hair often means saying goodbye to your past self.Kane supports Kesha in making a change, so agrees to do her the favor.

"Where do you want to cut it?" Kane grabbed a handful of hair and looked at it, but he didn't know where to start with the dagger in his hand.

"Cut off the black part. I didn't notice that the hair didn't grow long before, but now it looks so awkward." Kesha combed her hair with her paws, and the purple-black junction had grown to her shoulders.

"Then you pull the hair on the top, I'm afraid that if I pull it down, it will hurt your scalp."

"it is good."

Although he has no experience at all, Kane still knows that in order to prevent different lengths after cutting, he should help Kesha straighten her hair first.

The ends of his fingers were sharp and hard, inserted into the hair and slid down, barely able to be used as a comb.

Then Kane discovered that Kesha's hair was very knotted and split at the ends, and she couldn't take good care of it underground, even basic cleaning and care. Cutting off seemed to be the best way to deal with it.

Kesha's helmet doesn't wrap her hair in, so it's better to cut it shorter.

"Your hair is a bit tangled." He cut off a bunch of straightened hair with one knife. The dagger was still sharp, and there was not much resistance in the process.

Thinking that Keisha didn't even have a comb of his own at the age of 12, he said for a long time: "How about finding a comb for you on the ground?"

"Wouldn't it be better to use Void Spirit's jaw instead?"

Speaking of which, the mouths of many void creatures have two rows of neatly arranged needle teeth, arranged like two paired combs.

For example, Void Spirit, Monster Bird, and Hunter are all like this.Among them, Void Spirits can be seen everywhere, and the size is more appropriate.

However, combing hair with monster teeth is too tough no matter how you think about it, it doesn't look like a girl at all...

"Are you serious? Can I take your words as complaints?"

"It's true, I've tried it several times, and it works pretty well."

"When did it happen?" Kane raised his eyebrows. He was with Keisha every day, but he never saw her do this, so he couldn't help but wonder.

"When I went hunting alone..."

"Oh~ so you secretly did a lot of things to me? Is there a little secret?"

"Not many..."

In this way, while Kane was joking with Kesha, he let the blade reach the major turning point in Kesha's life, and severed the part that represented her past.

After the cut, Keisha's original two-color long hair turned into pure purple mid-length hair with a long shawl.Cover the helmet, and there will be no messy hair.

Kane's craftsmanship is really not flattering. After Kesha relaxed the straightened hair and let it return to the relaxed natural state, the originally neat hair became uneven.

But Keisha didn't mind, and it wouldn't be noticeable any longer.

She stretched out her hand to shake her hair, and brushed aside the messy bangs that covered her eyes. The originally cute hairstyle turned into a charming and sassy side part, which made people's heart skip a beat.

Kane didn't throw away the cut hair, thinking that it was once a part of Kesha, he collected it and held it in his hand, letting the armor absorb it.

As long as it is organic, it can provide nutrition to the skin.

Then he tried to make the skin armor grow hair, hoping to have the same ability as the long-haired female ghost in the ghost legend, manipulating hair that can be long or short to bind living people.

As a result, he thought too much, and not a single hair grew.

He began to think about the reason, did he have to simulate hair follicles on the skin armor to grow hair?

At this time, Keisha finished her new hairstyle, took the dagger from Kane's hand, and asked, "Is this dagger belonged to that person, did you touch him?"

Kane no longer bothered about hair, anyway, even if he researched it, it would not be a serious ability.

He replied to Kesha: "The man ran too fast and didn't see me. He hit me directly and the dagger fell off. Then I ignored him, and he ran away by himself."

Keisha's expression froze at first. The person exuded such a strong smell of fear, and the goal was too big. I'm afraid something bad happened right now.

But she quickly felt relieved that she had given him a chance, and that person was no longer worth her saving.

Having nothing to do with her, Keisha dropped the dagger, and took the initiative to take Kane's arm: "Let's go to the place where he fell, maybe we can find something."

"it is good."

Kane had exactly this intention, that man would definitely not walk the desert with only a dagger, and happened to inherit his inheritance in the past.

The two bypassed the hunter's ashes and headed towards the direction the bird seller was fleeing from. After walking a few hundred meters, they saw a light at the end.

The golden light was projected from above, and the air was filled with the dry heat unique to the desert.

When they saw this familiar light, they were all taken aback for a moment, and then became excited uncontrollably.That kind of mood can only be described in five words - "Wow! Golden Legend!"

Keisha was so excited, she jumped up and down holding Kane's arm, and Kane restrained a little, but his toes had already dug into the ground, and he might run over at any time.

The two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly decided to welcome this sacred moment together.

They walked quickly into the light, and their bodies were immediately enveloped by long-lost warmth.

Now Kesha sees nothing but the sun.

"Ah! Kane, the sun! It's the sun!" She pointed at the golden one-eyed eye in the sky and shouted. She didn't block the strong light with her hands until her eyes were burned by the sun.

She could have put the helmet on and looked straight at the sun, but she didn't want to distort the world she saw.

How long has it been since she felt the sun?

As a person born in the desert, he almost forgot the sun.Kesha couldn't help crying a little.

"I saw it, I saw it."

Kane was also staring up at the sun, but he saw two very different suns at the same time.

On one side is a large ball of light overflowing with light seen by normal naked eyes, and on the other side it becomes a large dark red fireball constantly exuding countless strands of magic power.

He stared at the sun for a while, and a trace of magic power was captured by the left eye of the abyss.

It's just that he doesn't feel it at all. If he wants to become stronger by basking in the sun, it's better to save it, it's better to devour it faster.

Unless he has a miraculous holy object like a sun disc, he cannot effectively use the magical sunlight.

And at this time, the sun disc was still buried under the yellow sand along with Azir, waiting for the blood of the descendants to make them see the sun again.

Kane pulled his mind back from the distant future and focused on the present.
