he came from the void

The attack of the herd was so strangely resolved, and two of them were killed in vain by the way.

Keisha had a question mark on her head, and just as she felt something, a black figure fell from the hole above, descended from the sky and rode on the back of a hunter, and revealed the answer.

Sure enough, it was the same as the answer she just thought of!

The tacit understanding cultivated by the two in the battle was reflected. Seeing that Kane had already chosen his opponent, Kesha bent her knees and jumped out of the ring of fire.

Roar!

The remaining hunter also jumped up with her. Kesha, who was at the highest point of the parabola, shrank her legs and somersaulted.

Icacia torrential rain!

The bullet screen hit the giant beast's head close to the face, causing a violent explosion, some of which were inserted into its eye sockets and shot into the skull, directly detonating its neck internally.

Keisha landed gracefully and turned around on her heels at the same time, just in time to see the hunter's huge body powerlessly fell two meters in front of her, setting off a puff of smoke.

Its head was shattered by the barrage, like a trampled lotus root, and the plasma bomb that shot into the eye socket even implanted deep in its throat, blasting out a bloody bruise on its neck. hole.

She stepped forward quickly, put her arm through the blast wound on his neck, fumbled and pulled out the still beating heart.

On the other side, the terrifying black knight descended from the sky also melted the giant beast's thick spine with its claws burning with black flames.

He clamped the huge monster under his crotch with his legs, and even if the monster swayed wildly, he remained still, until it finally lost its support and collapsed.

Then, the thoracic vertebrae of the Hunter's second to eighth sections were taken out by Kane and thrown away, and a skylight was opened on its back.Then Kane easily stretched out his hand, and took out the faintly pulsating heart from his chest.

The two reunited each solved their goals, took off their helmets and smiled at each other.

Seeing Keisha panting, Kane raised the heart he was holding in his hand and said, "I'll give you my heart."

Chapter 48 Synesthesia

The "heart" of void creatures is only morphologically called a heart, but it has absolutely nothing to do with a human heart.They are two different things, and even the structure is fundamentally different.

This heart is not a group of strong muscles that can beat, but a group of viscous energy aggregates, which will emit waves of light like the heart beats.

So holding it isn't as gory and scary as holding a heart, it's more like holding a melting neon scoop of ice cream.

Taking the heart, Keisha smiled sweetly, but Kane felt that she didn't understand his other meaning.

He thought he was straightforward enough, but Keisha's rank was too low, and she had no romantic cells at all.

Adolescent hormones won't be absorbed by the Void Skin Armor, right?Why didn't she feel anything at all?

Keisha put her hand close to her heart, and the energy flowed backwards forming a stream into her palm.

Only when sucking the heart, the void skin armor can be quieter, but she has long been used to the tingling sensation of the skin.

Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Kane, thoughtful: "Kane... I found some problems about void creatures."

"What's the problem?" Kane didn't pay much attention to it at first. He felt that what the 12-year-old Keisha could find was probably just some insignificant problems.

In the original world line, although Keisha fell into the ground at the age of ten, her mind was actually matured very late.Every day, I try my best to survive, and I didn't fully evolve until later, so I had extra energy to think about other things.

But now, she completed her evolution earlier, returned to the surface earlier, and came into contact with humans earlier... It is not surprising that she would have any ideas earlier.

Let's just listen.

"Kane, there's a reason why we've been hunted down by void creatures! I feel disgust in them!"

"..." Kane asked subconsciously: "Isn't it because there are only two living creatures underground?"

"This..." Kesha choked, and quibbled: "I can assure you, it's definitely not that simple! In their eyes, we are something from their world, but we must be eliminated."

Keisha's explanation is not convincing, life is something that must be eliminated in Void's eyes.However, if she has ideas, Kane will be more inclined to guide and cultivate her ability to think independently.

"And do you know what hatred is like?" he asked.

"Probably...maybe...it's the strongest feeling in my heart after knowing the truth. There is a fire burning in my chest."

Keisha lowered her head and fell silent.

"Then remember that feeling and release it when the time is right."

"Well... no, that's not what I want to say! I see hatred in the eyes of the void, and they hate us more than life on the ground. I feel that if they choose a target between us and ordinary people, they will definitely Will choose us!" Keisha's tone was a little excited, she approached as she spoke, and finally touched Kane's body.

"Don't you want them all?" Kane raised his eyebrows, and the look in Kesha's eyes suddenly darkened.

"That's right..." She turned and left, pacing in circles, as if trying to find a rigorous and reasonable hypothesis that Kane couldn't answer.

"How do you make the void creature choose between the two? Put the void spirit in the middle of the two, and see who it will crawl to? But once or twice is only occasionally, and it takes many experiments to explain the situation."

Keisha thought hard, but she walked a few laps before Kane put his hand on her shoulder.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. I can communicate with void creatures..."

As soon as the words fell, Keisha felt that the skin armor began to heat up, and the pod was out of her control and a hole opened to emit light. Something hot was accumulating there, and finally shot out a scorching plasma bomb .

"Well, why didn't you tell me?" Keisha looked back at Kane in surprise, obviously not aware of the embarrassment.

Synesthesia is the premise of mind control.

To control void creatures, one must first feel their feelings before controlling their bodies.

Kane has mastered this ability when he was in symbiosis with the void.

Don't look at Keisha is now wrapped in a void skin armor, but once Kane communicates with the skin armor, she will be gone at all.

If Kane was tougher, he could still control Kai'sa's actions by dominating the skin armor, but that would be too weird.

Kane was worried that Keisha was thinking wildly, worried that she would mind, and then alienated himself because of this, so he never explained his abilities.

Everyone has something that they don't want to be spied on, and even if they don't, they need some private space to store some of their own things.

Even after spending so long together day and night, Kane never told Keisha the fact that his soul does not belong to this world.

In short, he felt too perverted and ashamed to speak.Fortunately, Keisha is naive and didn't notice this problem.

After a few years of growing up, she realized that Kane's character had been verified, so she probably didn't take it seriously.

In addition, synesthesia also needs to pay a price.

Synesthesia with void creatures often means that their distinct hunger will be directly instilled into Kane's thinking, rather than reminding him through the tingling sensation on the body surface.

The relentless hunger drags on the sanity, and if it is not disconnected in time, it will lead to madness.

It is better to use less.

"Now you know." Kane shrugged, with an expression that explained everything.

……

The two made a detour and returned to the collapsed cave. A hunter was crushed under the boulder. He didn't die, but he couldn't move either.

Kane removed the stone that was pressing down on its head, and then activated synaesthesia into the empty eye sockets.

After a while, Kane blinked, his expression solemn.

Kesha is right, the void creatures do have hatred towards them, but it is contained in eternal hunger.The two don't conflict, so it's hard to spot.

Kane was too stereotyped about these things before, thinking that they only knew how to eat, but he didn't notice the hatred hidden under the hunger.

Kane brooded over the source of this hatred.

The mission of the Void is to dissolve all things and devour all life.

But in the two of them, void and life have achieved an unimaginable symbiosis.They were originally going to devour life, but they are using their own nutrition to support life.

Thinking differently, if he is on the side of the void, Kane feels that the symbiosis of void creatures and life is a shame to the void.

If this symbiosis becomes the norm, they will create their own worst enemies.

Thinking from another angle really broadened his thinking, and Kane suddenly thought—if there were more existences like them, would it be possible to restrain the expansion of void creatures?

Chapter 49 Resignation

After cleaning up the herd of beasts underground, the two finally had time to go to the surface.

Kane was worried that he would be exposed to humans, so he made Kesha invisible as usual, while he stayed near the exit and waited for news.

The night in the desert is not dim and lightless, the half moon hangs high in the boundless sky, and the sky casts stars.

To Keisha, this was already much brighter than the Underworld.

With the strong smell of life floating on her face along with the dust, Keisha frowned, stepping out of the pile of rocks and looking around.

The sight in front of her shocked her!

The pile of rocks where the tunnel entrance was located was artificially surrounded by wooden piles, which were inserted into the ground and connected with the rock pillars, forming a fence with an area of ​​several hundred square meters.

And judging from the low wooden stakes, what this inverted animal pen wants to hold is not the life-swallowing void monsters, but the sacrificial sheep in the pen!

Yes, what Kesha smelled was the stench of pasture, manure and wool.

She saw a group of goats huddling together under the stone pillar with the huge skull, relying on the stone pillar that penetrated the yellow sand of the desert to resist the cold hunting wind at night, relying on each other to maintain their body temperature.

And this animal pen was set up to prevent the sheep from escaping!

Keisha looked into the distance again, and there were lights in the settlement not far away dotted with the dry and cold night, which meant that the people had not left and were still living a seemingly peaceful life in the settlement.

It made her very angry very angry.

Mingming has repeatedly warned, why these people not only did not move away, but also kept the sheep in such a dangerous place!

Inviting void creatures to come up to eat, is it because they don't die fast enough!

Do you have to wait until the family is ruined and everything is filled into the monster's mouth to know how big the appetite of the void is?

Keisha was very angry, she could be said to be furious, but she still held back and did not vent.

Because the wind spread her scent to the sheep, making them scream in panic.And this voice led to two humans hiding in the dark, and Kesha heard the conversation between them.

"What's going on? You scream so terribly? Is it a monster?"

A man with a spear came out from behind the stone pillar, posing in a fighting stance with an uneasy expression on his face.

"There are no monsters, don't scare yourself."

The other person's hat was also crooked, and he moved it from his face to the disheveled hair. His buttocks were covered with dust, and he could tell at a glance that he was sitting on the ground to rest just now.

Kaisha is glad that she came out of stealth, otherwise she might have been discovered by two humans hiding in the dark behind her back.

"Just watch the night carefully, don't be lazy. If the monster comes and you are sleeping, I won't wake you up."

The sheep gradually calmed down, and the man with the spear said to his companion fiercely after finding that there was nothing abnormal in the animal pen.

But the man in the cloth hat didn't take it seriously, and fought back in a disdainful tone: "There are no monsters, if there were any, these sheep would have been taken away."

"Then how do you explain the strange things that happened in the settlement ahead?" The man with the spear hit his companion with his spear.

"No one has died from the previous incidents, and think about it, do real monsters only scare people and not kill people? Obviously not. If you want me to say, it must be some evil mage pretending to be a ghost to deliberately tease us, but he The method is too clever and we can’t find it. Don’t come to a few missionaries who say that there are monsters and you will believe it, it’s so naive, and they also say that as long as you sacrifice, you can feed the monsters and keep the settlement from being disturbed..."

The man in the hat scolded resentfully, as if he had something to do with the missionaries.

Hearing the preacher, Kesha's ears perked up, and her intuition told her that maybe this was why people didn't heed the warning.

"The strange things in the settlement have indeed subsided in the past few days, and everyone feels that the missionaries are right."

"So you believed it?"

"I don't believe it, but the chief believes it, otherwise we wouldn't be here to watch the night." The spear man sighed.

"Don't be wronged, I'm more wronged than you. The only two sheep in my family were pulled over as sacrifices. Those two missionaries are beasts, even pregnant ewes that can produce milk .”

The man in the hat usually milked goats, and while talking, he squeezed the strong chest muscles of the man with the spear regretfully, causing the latter to shout and curse.

"Go away! I'm so hungry and thirsty to find your ewe!"

"It's so cold, the sheep know how to stay together to keep out the cold, and you don't let me rely on it for warmth. It's really impersonal to watch the night together anyway." The man in the hat hugged his arms and rubbed them vigorously. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. , it was midnight at this time, and the cold wind with gravel was blowing on Mao's face, which was extremely painful.

"Aren't you huddled with the sheep? It's warm there. You can do some warm-up exercises when you feel like it. Don't worry about the cold."

Keisha didn't continue to eavesdrop on the warm-hearted conversation between the two men. The more she listened, the purer she became more and more confused, so she simply went back underground and told Kane the situation.

Of course, also includes the follow-up topic of the two night watchmen about ewes.

"Ahem, I forgot about the ewes. What we need to focus on is the two foreign missionaries." Kane patted Keisha's shoulder lightly, speaking earnestly like an old father.

"According to what you heard, it was the arrival of the missionaries that caused people to build a stable next to the tunnel, and put sheep in it as sacrifices. They wanted to exchange sacrifices for people's safety."

"Yes, that's it!" Keisha clenched her fists tightly and had nowhere to vent her anger.

Fueled by anger, she said to Kane, "Why don't we kill all the goats, leave the carcasses uneaten, and warn them not to throw more sacrifices into the ground."
