he came from the void

The hunger was awakened, and the body moved directly without the brain's command.

She wiped the dust off the peel with her hands, blew on it again, and opened her mouth to bite down.

But with the sweet juice gushing out, are those sweet memories that can no longer be reproduced.

She will no longer be able to eat the dishes cooked by her mother, nor will she be able to hear her father telling him what he saw during his travels by the bedside, and the gifts that can bring surprises on every birthday...

Everything I once had seemed to be gone forever, and salty tears flowed into the corner of her mouth again. Keisha cried while eating, and she could taste different despair with every bite.

Cold, lonely, dark...

Kane listened to her cry silently, then was overwhelmed by the tide of sleepiness.

Kaisha fell asleep, and Kane felt a little relieved. He closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep, waiting silently to witness the turning point of her destiny.

The survivors are still calling each other weakly, repeating their names over and over like chanting.After waking up, Keisha still tried to find the living, even though in the end even she knew that she was doing futile work.

Kane quietly followed Keisha for three days, until at last her own voice remained in the ruins.

Friends and family were all gone, leaving her alone in the dark.

The girl who had shed her tears, driven by hunger, echoed across the ruins like a walking corpse.

It was at the moment when all this was lost that she saw the light.

In this boundless and cold darkness, I saw the long-lost light!

With unknown expectations, Kai'Sa's fluffy legs surged with strength again.She followed the light, all the way down.

Kane still followed Keisha quietly where she couldn't see.

Even if he knew what kind of terrifying thing was hidden behind that light, he could only drag his disabled body hard at this moment.

"Live! Kesha."

Chapter 3 Under the Abyss

Looking at everything around her beyond comprehension, Keisha overturned her previous cognition - the underground world is not dark and dark.

But the light in front of her didn't feel good to her. She couldn't explain why it was strange, but there was always a kind of uneasiness hovering in her heart like a vulture.

Ghostly purple shimmers emanated from the cave walls, glowing indentations lined vertically and parallel to the ground, like a purple fluorescent heart glowing distinctly through ribs.The light was hazy, as if separated by a layer of fascia, the essence could not be seen clearly.

A tunnel with ribs on both sides, young Keisha couldn't help thinking.

But what creature has such long ribs?It seems more appropriate to say that I am in a huge chrysalis.

Keisha followed the light all the way down, eating the scattered water bags and rotten peaches she found in the ruins while walking.

It was just what she needed, and after three days of starvation, anything that could feed her was now dear to her.

Kane was still following her like a ghost, but after all, he was not as light-packed as Keisha, and was gradually pulled away.

He carried a few kilograms of food and water on his back, held a spear that was a bit heavy for a ten-year-old child, dragged a disabled body, and kept his voice down to prevent Kesha from discovering... It was hard enough to keep up with her.

But he didn't dare to tell Kesha to stop at all, for fear that she would miss her adventure and lead her fate to an ending where no one survived.

He prayed to Nasus in the dark, praying that the two of them would see the Shurima sun again.

Although he knew it was useless, Nasus lost himself in the yellow sand at this time, where could he hear a child's prayer.

Thinking of the danger he was about to face, Kane felt that it was better to rely on Nasus than to rely on a sudden "ding" in his mind, activating some system.

But he quickly discarded these unrealistic thoughts, because if he didn't keep up, he might be lost.

The end of the spear hit the hard ground without even leaving a trace.

Kane noticed that the rocks under his feet were very smooth and flat, formed not by the flow of lava, but by the coming and going of those things smoothed out.

he knows what it is...

The void creature, the thing he will face next, is at the end of this tunnel.

……

At the end of the tunnel is a huge cave that suddenly opens up.

Here, the light is more concentrated and brighter, and the flickering ghostly purple light illuminates the entire cave.

The tunnel under the feet twisted and circled here, and then branched out to other places.

Up, down, extending in all directions.

Above Kesha's head is a spiral passage, and it may be possible to climb out along the steep narrow road protruding like a spine.

Just as she was thinking this way, a commotion sounded not far below her.

"what is that……"

She subconsciously covered her mouth, her gaze followed the steeply sinking slope, and she saw a large group of creatures rustling under the abyss.

It is absolutely impossible for nature to breed such a weird and ugly existence to the extreme. Just looking at it can make people feel nauseated and scared.

Clusters of needle eyes emitting warm purple light stared straight at her, more complicated than the stars in the sky.

They are like creatures from another world, their distinct limbs hooked to the edge of the abyss, dragging out a strange and terrifying body.

The structures of these creatures are primitive and terrifying, covered with rough purple-black nails, protruding from bony protrusions, and the skin and flesh are pale like stillborn fetuses.

On the hard gums, there are jagged fangs that are as dense as comb teeth, and the bloody mouth is cracked to the throat, revealing the filthy sticky saliva.

Corresponding to the huge diamond-shaped head is their connected chest and abdomen and protruding back, in which the part that can be called the heart in biology is stored.

But that is not the real heart, but a mass of energy that exudes ancient purple light. The ghostly and vicious purple light illuminates the rock wall through the fascia in the gap between the chitin carapace.

"It's a monster!"

For a moment Kesha remembered the horrible stories her father had told her.

The underground world is full of monsters, lurking in the dark, dragging the passing travelers down, and no one has been able to return unchanged so far.

In the past, she only thought of them as stories, but when they were vividly presented before her eyes, hunger was replaced by fear again!

This group of evil void creatures had already discovered Kesha. Driven by endless hunger, they climbed up the slope and swarmed towards the girl with an insatiable urge to kill.

Kesha clenched the dagger in both hands, trying to protect herself.

A monster about the same size as Keisha rushed forward first. The young Keisha repelled the ugliness in front of her from the inside out, coordinated with her body and mind like never before, and stabbed the dagger out with all her strength.

She was thrown to the ground, and the bladed limbs easily cut open the delicate flesh of Kesha's forearm, and the splashed blood splashed onto the chitin shell of the surrounding monsters and was greedily absorbed.

But at the same time, the blade of the dagger in her hand accurately pierced the monster's faintly pulsating heart.

The huge impact of the monster's lunge propelled her down the slope, and both tumbled further down the abyss.

Kane, who arrived belatedly, only had time to see the moment Kesha rolled down at the entrance of the cave. He widened his eyes, as if he saw an invisible rope. At this moment, its two ends were tied around the waists of the two. .

And this rope called fate suddenly tightened, pulling his body and starting to run forward.

He rushed out of the tunnel at an unprecedented speed, and before the sickle blades that popped out from both sides cut off his knees, he abruptly broke through the dense insect swarm and rushed down the abyss.

It's just that he didn't know how steep the slope under his feet was. After a brief flight, he fell heavily on the hard rocky ground and rolled down into the abyss in a state of embarrassment.

……

Kane woke up stimulated by the new pain. When he wanted to sit up on the ground, he found that his left arm had no other feedback except pain.

Fortunately, the ribs were not broken again, but the slightly improved lungs were squeezed and began to cough up blood.

But these are not the most important, the important thing is Keisha...

Kesha lay unconscious in the corner of his eye, next to the monster that had been pierced through the heart.

The thing in its chest has dimmed, and it no longer emits purple light rhythmically like breathing.

According to Kane's understanding of void creatures, this monster is already dead.

Kane moved his knees and waded over. What he saw next made him short of breath, and he almost coughed up blood—Kesha's injured forearm was covered with a strange skin.

The breastplate that originally belonged to the monster was now firmly attached to her forearm!

"After three days of enduring, this step... finally succeeded!" Although Kane was invisible throughout the whole process, Kane had an unparalleled sense of participation, as if he was the one who completed the symbiosis now.

He was so excited that he burst into tears. If his body didn't allow him, he would have rolled on the ground to celebrate this hard-won first step.

Chapter 4 Becoming a Monster

The second half of the steep slope eased up a lot. Unlike Kane, who fell from mid-air, Kesha, who rolled down the slope all the way, only suffered some skin trauma and some brain shocks.

After checking her injuries, Kane had to sigh, maybe this is the real fate of the protagonist.

Seeing that those void creatures didn't catch up, Kane didn't forcefully wake her up.And shortly after that, Keisha woke up clutching her head.

Her eyes were closed and her brow furrowed deeply.

At this time, part of her outstanding appearance talent has been revealed, her face is pretty, her eyebrows are wrinkled like a sharp willow leaf; her nose is straight and straight, and her slightly upturned upper lip has a hint of sex appeal.

After three days of mourning, her long black hair was messily draped over her face, and her face was already covered in dust from crying.But even so, it didn't make her dark and bright eyes dim in the dark underground.

If these things hadn't happened, Keisha might still be a village flower.

Kaisha, who opened her eyes, was stunned for a moment when she found Kane sitting in front of her, and then rushed over involuntarily, hugging him tightly in her arms.

"Oh my God, am I right? Kane, aren't you dead?"

Rare, it is too rare!

Keisha was so happy that tears of joy welled up in her eyes.

"Kesha, please be gentle and quiet! I'm going to be pinched to death by you, my arm hurts so much!" Kane hissed and begged for mercy.

Keisha's reaction was too intense. If he had known that she would pounce like this, Kane would have kicked her away.

But it's no wonder...

She originally thought that she was the only one left to survive in the whole village, and since then she has endured loneliness and darkness alone.But the appearance of Kane is like a ray of light shining into the darkness of her heart, making her no longer feel alone.

Children are emotional, how can such an encounter make her not excited?

After being reminded, Keisha noticed her gaffe, and also remembered those ugly creatures she had seen before. She quickly let go of her arms and closed her mouth tightly, looking around in fear.

"They didn't follow, but in the ground, no matter how excited you are, don't make a noise louder than a lamb's cry?"

Kane endured the pain and tried his best to explain clearly to her that this reckless girl was a bit different from the brave Void Hunter he had imagined, and it seemed that she still needed a lot of beatings from life to become the fearsome Kai'Sa.

"I'm sorry." Keisha wiped away two tears indiscriminately, and explained in a low voice: "I didn't mean it, I just, just seeing you makes me so happy."

"I know, I'm very happy too... It's just that I'm not in a state to hug you."

"What's wrong with your hand?" Keisha finally noticed the outline of Kane's left arm hanging limply by his side, reminding her of the old man in the village who was kicked in the arm by a horse. His arm was always drooping like this.

"It's broken." Kane looked helpless.

"Have I strangled you?"

"I fell..." Kane choked on Kesha's brain power, but after thinking about her words, he seemed to really feel that Kaisha's strength was not as strong as a ten-year-old child.

"Do you feel it?"

"What do you feel?"

Regarding Kane's question, Keisha looked blank.

"your hands."

"My hand? It seems to be stinging..."

Like a bug full of stitches crawling on the skin, Keisha felt the tingling sensation on her arm more and more clearly.

She raised her hand and carefully identified it in the darkness, and found that it was actually covered with a layer of deep purple carapace, like a huge ugly scar entrenched on the skin.

Keisha suddenly turned her head to look behind her, and there really was a dead monster lying there.

She seemed to have thought of something, her horrified eyes were on the arm and the corpse, her expression gradually collapsed, she took out the dagger in a panic, trying to peel off the extra ugliness on her body.

But the carapace was as hard as iron, and Keisha broke her dagger with too much force.

"Ah!" The blade jumped out from the broken handle, she screamed, then looked at herself dejectedly, her eyes full of disgust.

She gave up resisting and let it stick tightly to the skin, like thousands of tiny hook teeth hanging into the flesh and the pain was unbearable. The feeling of being wrapped by this kind of fine needle plate like a cat's tongue made her gnash her teeth with hatred.

"What did I just say? No matter how excited you are, don't make a noise that is louder than a lamb's cry." Kane watched Kesha break the dagger before stopping him.

Although he didn't know the meaning of the plot where fate arranged for Kesha to break the dagger, since it happened before, it would be best if it happened again.
