he came from the void

The woman in front of her was her boss's boss, Ms. Pale.And she won't be punished for talking to her like this?

Unexpectedly, the pale lady smiled and said softly: "She has already gone to Elise's mansion."

Chapter 684 The Disappearing Left Eye

After learning of Vel'Koz's recent whereabouts, Karn and Kai'Sa left the Immortal Bastion by boat, and traveled along the coast of Noxus all the way through Piltover's Sun Gate to Belgun.

Turkugel, where the attack took place, is just southeast of Bergun.But that was already a week ago. It took Kahn three days to get here by boat alone. By the time he arrived in Turkugel, the day lily was almost cold.

Although they are already rushing to the scene of the crime as soon as possible, as time goes by, the scope of their search will continue to expand, and the search difficulty will continue to increase.

They bought two fast horses in Bergün, and then rushed to their destination without stopping.The city has developed well under the management of Noxus, and the docks are crowded with boats and boats, and it is a prosperous scene.

However, the news of the emperor's return caused some panic in this seaside city. Some people who were content with the status quo worried that Azir would bring an army of ascenders to recover the lost city, and that would inevitably cause conflict with Noxxa who was stationed in the city. Sri Lankan soldiers went to war.

They don't care who they live under, they just fear the war.

And Kahn left everything behind him. At this moment, he only has one goal, which is to find and kill Vel'Koz. Through dissecting Vel'Koz, he also deduced the weakness of the monitor.

Even if a war breaks out in the entire Runeterra, there will always be some humans who will become the winners and survive.But once the Overseer escapes from the cage, even victory will be meaningless.

Five days later, under the light of the morning sun, the two drove through the dense Tukugul forest and arrived at the camp that Indali had mentioned.

The camp was deserted, without the breath of a stranger, but there was a very strong void left.

There was no one on the sentry tower, and the broken gate fell to the ground, and was dismantled by something with brute force.A gully was torn open on the ground, and corroded rocks were exposed from the dry and cracked soil, exuding a vicious aura.

The sharpened spears were scattered on the ground, not even stained with blood, and their owners were nowhere to be found.

"There was a big fight here," Kasha said, "and the bodies were cleaned up early."

It has been more than ten days since I started sending hair. If the body has not been disposed of, it must have rotted and smelled.

"I think it's a unilateral massacre." Kahn looked at these undamaged spears. The people here obviously didn't touch Vel'Koz before they were all massacred.

Otherwise, there will be some traces of corrosion on the weapon.

"We're late, Vel'Koz has already left."

"Go around and find someone to ask." Kahn didn't see any traces of Vel'Koz here, so he could only go to other nearby places to look for it.

In the woods, they encountered a hunter, and Karn asked him if he had seen Vel'Koz.The latter said that he did not see Vel'Koz, but asked about the distribution of nearby villages from him.

They went to visit these villages one after another to inquire about information, but they found nothing. Vel'Koz slaughtered it cleanly, leaving no survivors, and no one saw its movements.

Just when they thought Vel'Koz had left the area, a village they had visited was attacked.They rushed over as soon as they heard the news, but they arrived a step too late.

No one can be seen on the street, no matter whether it is an old man walking, an old woman drying dried fruit, or a child playing, none of them are seen.

A strange feeling arises spontaneously, a chill throbbing on the back of the spine, as if being stared at by a vicious gaze.Kahn quickly raised his head to look at the surrounding sky and any blind spots in his field of vision, but he didn't see anything abnormal in the blue sky and white clouds.

He turned his gaze back, and the scene in front of him was no different from any village.

The firewood was burned out and only embers remained, and the cooker on the pyre was full of food.The clothes hung up were not dry, and last night's lanterns were still on the posts.

He and Kai'Sa exchanged wary glances, looked at each other, and then dispersed to find the vanished villagers, not too far away from each other.

Kahn made a discovery in the sheep house. He heard the cry of the sheep and came to the sheep house, and found that some of the sheep raised by the villagers were alive and some were dead.These sheep were not injured, but they all foamed at the mouth, and seemed to feel great fear, which triggered some bodily functions and died suddenly.

In short, these sheep were left untouched, some of them were frightened to death, and even those who were not frightened to death were all mentally disturbed.

In addition, he also found that a piece of wood in the fence of the sheep house was burnt blacker than pitch.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, his fingertips just touched the scorched wood, and it shattered into powder, revealing a smooth wooden pit.

This is the trace of void corruption, it can already be determined that Vel'Koz passed here, and it doesn't bother to attack these stupid goats.Its targets have always been humans with high IQs, but the strong void breath it emits alone is enough to scare these livestock to death, which Kahn has experienced as early as in Icacia.

Next, he and Kai'Sa also found similar traces everywhere. Based on the extent of these traces and the intensity of the breath, they probably deduced the trajectory of Vel'Koz's movement.

"Kan! There are discoveries here!"

Kai'Sa's shout was heard not far away, and Kahn immediately rushed over and found her standing next to a corpse.

The deceased was a middle-aged woman whom they had met once before. At this moment, she was curled up on the ground like a baby. The air did not smell of blood at all, and she did not have any recent scars on her body.

"She's alive," Kai'Sa said, moving the woman's hair under her nose so that it could be seen swaying in a slow, stiff rhythm.

"The breath is very shallow, and death is not far away."

"Wake her up and see if you can ask anything." Kaisha put her hand on the woman's shoulder and shook it: "Hey, wake up, tell me what that monster did to you, and I will avenge you. "

But no matter how much she shook, the woman showed no sign of waking up.Inadvertently, she used more strength and turned the woman over into a supine position.

The eyes of the middle-aged woman opened suddenly, and her right eye stared at the sky, dull and dull.The left eye was empty, replaced by a small black hole.

Kaisha shrank back in fright, but came closer again after seeing that the woman didn't make any follow-up actions.

They focused on the wound on the left eye, the eyelid and eyeball were all dissolved by void corrosion, and the small black hole went straight to the brain.And the brain was incomplete, and a large area of ​​dissolution appeared, which was why she couldn't wake up no matter how shaken it was.

Her brain has been lost, and only the brainstem still maintains the most basic breathing.

Chapter 685 Into the Brain

The woman's deep brain wound made the two gasp. When they saw it with their own eyes, it was much more terrifying than what Indali said.

But the strange thing is that the woman's expression is very serene, without the pained expression caused by the injury.

Then, they found the corpses of the rest of the villagers one after another in the village. All of them had the same wound on their left eyes, and they all collapsed into the same mental state.They looked very peaceful, and because of that, they looked all the more terrifying.

Kahn tried to find anyone who could communicate, but no one survived the attack. They all had their brains damaged and could only breathe.

Relating to the circular corrosion holes that he had seen in various places before, Kahn could imagine Vel'Koz's way of killing people—it used corrosive tentacles to insert into the left eye socket of people, like inserting data cables Analyzing the brains of the prey, and then transferring their knowledge and memories as their own, it is incomprehensible horror.

And in this process, no physical pain was caused to the victim.

It seemed to be able to accurately block people's perception. Even the top surgeons couldn't make patients feel no pain during the operation without anesthesia, but Vel'Koz did it easily.

Unable to find any survivors, the two could only go to Vel'Koz based on the information they had previously judged.

They don't have time to take care of those villagers, they can't survive.

There is no way to rescue this kind of wounded, the brains of vegetative people just shrink, and they are directly dissolved, and it is impossible to revive them.As time goes by, the body fails and dies within a day.

And Kahn and the two go after Vel'Koz as soon as possible, maybe they can stop it before it launches the next attack.

But Vel'Koz was too cunning, leaving no trace after it left the village.It can fly in the air, so there is no trace of its footprints.

It can also be seen from the location it chooses to attack. It is a gathering place of isolated and helpless human beings every time. It seems that it knows not to cause large-scale panic in front of people, so I have never heard of the rumors of it massacring the city, even if it Fully capable of this.

Compared with its kind who only know how to eat, it is both powerful and cautious.

Losing the trace of Vel'Koz, Kahn could only use a clumsy method, flying around the forest from time to time, looking for any suspicious figures.But this kind of aimless search is extremely inefficient. He has never seen any floating giant shadows, nor has he perceived any void creatures entering his range of perception.

Just when they thought Vel'Koz might have left the area, it struck again.

It was a peaceful late night. When Kahn and the others were resting by the river, they saw an unnatural purple light suddenly lit up in the distant sky, followed by a burst of thunder-like explosions.

They exchanged glances, saw surprise in each other's eyes, stepped on the bonfire in a hurry and rushed to the scene at full speed.

Kai'Sa was running on the ground, while Karn was flying over the forest. His wide field of vision made it easier for him to spot Vel'Koz.

But when they arrived at the scene of the incident, they were still one step too late.

Kahn landed on the tree, there was no Vel'Koz in front of his eyes, only the evil energy of the road tore open a ravine, a carriage crashed into the ravine, the horse was forcibly divided into two parts, the front and the back, More than ten meters away from each other, the burnt cross-section was as black as charcoal, constantly emitting black smoke of dissolved substances.

Kahn jumped off the tree, and more information needs to be carefully checked on the carriage to find out.

"Did you see Vel'Koz in the sky?" Kai'Sa asked.

"No." Kahn shook his head. He didn't see any suspicious shadows around him, nor did he feel the existence of void creatures, otherwise he would have chased after them.

"We have come very quickly. It only took a few minutes from seeing the light to when we rushed around. It stands to reason that you should be able to see where it left when flying in the sky."

What Kaisha thought was that Kahn's field of vision in the sky is so wide, even in the dark, it is not difficult to see things 1 minute away, which leaves less time for Vel'Koz to commit crimes, and it should It's too late to escape.

"Really not, I won't let it go for sure after seeing it." Kahn himself felt puzzled, and he also thought that Vel'Koz would have no time to leave, unless it had some special means.

"Strange……"

"Don't be surprised, let's check the scene first."

Kahn came to the side of the carriage and noticed some details that could only be seen on closer inspection.

The door of the carriage was destroyed in the impact, people outside could not get in, and people inside could not get out.Kahn jumped to the top of the carriage, and found that the roof was burnt to create a smooth pothole, and he could observe the situation inside from this hole.

A smell of blood wafted out, and Kahn saw an old man with the appearance of a scholar sitting in the corner of the carriage with his head up, his eyes wide open, his face serene, and a smooth hole was left in his left eye.Another boy dressed as a page boy fell unconscious on the ground, but Kahn could see that his face was covered with blood, but his left eye did not disappear.

"Maybe he's still alive!" Kahn excitedly tore open the roof of the carriage with his paws and dragged the boy out, but the result disappointed him greatly.

The servant boy was already dead, but he was not killed by Vel'Koz, but was killed by a blow to the head at the moment of the disaster, and there was a wound left by the violent blow on his head.But maybe that's why he escaped from Vel'Koz's clutches.

And ten meters away from the side of the carriage, there was a coachman who was upside down, with the same hole in his left eye, but the difference was that his clothes and skin were burned off.

"No one survived." Kai'Sa shook her head in frustration, and came one step too late.

"I still have some discoveries." Kahn comforted her: "I have a little understanding of Vel'Koz's motives."

"What?" Kasha asked.

"Let's restore what happened first." Kahn circled the carriage, organizing his words as he walked.

"Looking at the situation, Vel'Koz should have launched the attack while the carriage was driving. It attacked the horse with energy that burst into bright lights and loud noises, causing it to be split in half. This ability is too powerful, causing the road surface to A ravine was torn open. The first half of the horse’s corpse flew out more than ten meters due to inertia, and the second half crashed into the ravine together with the carriage.”

"It stands to reason that the coachman should have also fallen in front of the carriage, but his body appeared on the side of the carriage. Combined with the burns on his body, it shows that he should have been used by Vickers when he hit the air. Catch it with your hand, extract the brain and throw it aside, while the clothes and skin are burned by the tentacles wrapped around the body in the process."

"Why did Vel'Koz hold the coachman in the air before making a move?" Kai'Sa was puzzled, because the corpses he encountered before only had a hole in his left eye, and his body was intact.

"Maybe it's because people think it's not good to 'eat' after death."

Chapter 686 Survivor

"Maybe it's because people think it's not good to 'eat' after death." Kahn looked at the servant boy and said.

"Isn't it not interested in flesh and blood? Why do you say that dead people are not good to 'eat'?" Kai'Sa still doesn't understand that Kahn's 'eat' has other meanings.

"What I mean is, Vel'Koz won't do anything to people whose brains are dead. For example, the boy in the car hit his head against the wall and died of brain death the moment he got into a car accident, and Vel'Koz let him go. He, this shows that it can't extract any knowledge from a dead head. On the other hand, because the other person didn't die in a car accident immediately, he still couldn't escape Vel'Koz's murderous hands."

"It turned out to be like this. I really don't know whether it's good luck or bad luck for this person to be able to leave a whole body under Vel'Koz." Kaisha looked away from the servant boy on her body and looked at Kahn: "But you said You figured out Vel'Koz's motive, I didn't get it, you just analyzed the scene and didn't say anything about Vel'Koz's motive."

"Do you think it was a coincidence that Vel'Koz attacked a carriage in the middle of the night?"

"Isn't it? There are several human settlements nearby. It didn't go there, but it attacked a carriage with few people. It can only be explained by coincidence."

"You can't be so arbitrary. If it's really a coincidence, it means that Vel'Koz often wanders around. And this is unlikely. If it is really wandering around, we would have discovered it long ago. If you think It just happened to come here, and it just happened to meet this carriage, so I have nothing to say."

"Oh, that's fine." Kai'Sa accepted Kahn's statement, if it was speculated by coincidence, then there is really no clue at all.

"This attack should have been premeditated." Kahn rummaged through the car and found some books, and he continued: "There is a scholar in the car, such a person should be more 'tasty' to Vel'Koz, who is thirsty for knowledge. Otherwise, why did it leave several nearby villages and insist on attacking this carriage with only three people? The answer is——it came for the knowledge in the minds of scholars.”

"But how does it know that the carriage will pass by here and now?" Kai'Sa stood beside the ravine, which was scorched and smoking, enough to hold a whole dragon lizard.

This amazing destructive power made her sigh, even if she wanted to create such a gap in an instant, it was not easy.

"Ka'Sa, don't forget that Vel'Koz is different from other void creatures. It can extract people's memories. It may have obtained this information from the memories of the dead, so it set up an ambush here in advance to attack the carriage."

Kai'Sa was very smart, and immediately thought of some things that Kahn didn't notice.

"If that's the case, aren't we exposed? The village it attacked before was visited by us, and it probably learned from the memories of those villagers that we were looking for it."

"Fuck!" Kahn, who was thinking carefully and terrified, suddenly felt a wave of fear.

What Kai'Sa said is entirely possible. If it knows this, will it ambush them instead?

Inexplicably, he felt a strange feeling, a chill throbbing on the back of his spine, as if he was stared at by a vicious gaze, and his skin armor began to wriggle, sending out the pain of needle pricks.

Has it turned back?

Karn looked around, but found no sign of Vel'Koz, but the strange feeling was still there.

"Let's get out of here as soon as possible." Kai'Sa also had the same feeling. They exchanged glances, saw the same panic in each other's eyes, and quickly evacuated from the scene of the incident.

Although they were looking for Vel'Koz, they didn't want to be found by him until they found him.

Whoever is found first is the prey.

In the next few days, Kahn launched a more detailed investigation in several nearby villages, trying to find the relatives and friends of the victims and obtain information from them. It stands to reason that Vel'Koz has a higher chance of attacking these people .

It's just that what they could think of, Vel'Koz thought of, disappeared completely in the next few days.
