Chapter 54: The Outsider
Keisha watched as the inhabitants fled west out of the settlement.
They led the cattle, drove the colorful caravans, carried everything they could not bear to give up, searched for sandy roads to fresh water sources, and kept walking.
It was only then that Kane let loose his grip on her.
She emerged from nowhere, removed her helmet, and looked at Kane in the ruins with a complicated expression.
Keisha doesn't understand anything, she knows the meaning of every step of Kane.
All she saw Kane destroy was a mask that confirmed that it was empty.
Blowing up undefended walls and barricades is a reminder of how vulnerable they are to the Void.
He wasn't trying to kill, all he did was to get them to escape.
Even her feelings, he took care of them.
Keisha had always felt that the little girl had some resemblance to herself, much like her who had not yet been taken captive by the Void.
The Void has brought many changes to her, but to this day, there is always a little girl living in her heart, and she can't forget who she was once a girl.
That was the only humanity she had not yet been altered by the Void.
She knew that Kane had this in mind, in order not to strangle the little girl in her heart, in order not to turn her into a monster, so she chose to let the chief go and let him leave with the girl.
The old man watches over her son, the mother holds the baby in her arms, and the husband protects his wife, these daily lives that reveal love and kindness are the beauty that Keisha wants to keep from the abyssal maw of the void.
Even when Keisha was extremely angry, he didn't let her make impulsive moves and cross the bottom line of not killing.
He made her invisible the whole time in order to take all the blood debts and sins on her.
The infamy was borne by him, and Kane became the monster of word of mouth in place of her.
And she is still the girl who fights against the void to the end in order to protect people's warm daily chores.
But understanding is one thing, and that doesn't mean she'll accept such an arrangement.
As she was channeling the tide of beasts, she was thinking—just drag the chief down, let him witness the horrors of the Void with his own eyes, and then make him feel like she's leaving with her people.
And Kane did it even harder, directly killing the missionary and scaring everyone away.
Yes, in fact, she is ready to be the bad guy.
But she now felt like she was locked in another world by Kane, watching like an outsider as it just happened.
Why don't you discuss it with her and take everything on your own?
He wanted to save these foolish people, but the consequences were borne by Kane, so what is this?
She should have done all these heinous things! The consequences should be borne by her stomach!
In particular, Kane came over and patted her on the shoulder as usual, and said like a nobody:
"Let's go, we still have a tough battle to fight, and people are not really out of danger yet."
Keisha felt very uncomfortable, was this sarcastic about her?
She knew they still needed to stop the Void Beast tide to buy people time, but she couldn't help but slam a punch into Kane's chest.
The speed of this punch was fast, less than a tenth of the time it takes for the heart to beat once.
Kane didn't react at all, only felt a burst of penetrating force fall firmly on his heart, the air in his lungs was squeezed out, and a violent feeling of suffocation stirred in his chest.
When he came back to his senses, he saw Keisha's fist against his chest, and the corners of his eyes were already red.
"Aren't you hurting?" Keisha asked.
"It hurts." Kane paused before replying, taking a moment to think about Keisha's intentions.
She must be very aggrieved now, and it must be uncomfortable to be excluded in person.
"Then why don't you shout!" Sure enough, Kesha's throat rolled up and down, followed by an angry roar.
Kane was silent, wasn't he cursed a few rounds and killed a few harmful cultists, and he wasn't wronged, why did he shout......
But that punch really hurt, and he was killed in the body of a mortal.
He wanted Keisha not to yell at the throat, the voice change period was coming, and he should protect his vocal cords, otherwise speaking with electricity would really affect the feeling.
But he was just thinking about these in his heart, and he didn't dare to mention it to her who was angry.
Although his psychological thoughts were not serious, Kane still lowered his head and put on an expression of seriousness about receiving education.
"You know how I feel, right? It's a thousand times worse than that, ten thousand times worse! You're going to have to take a thousand more punches like this! ”
Seeing Kane's silence, Keisha really wanted to punch him again and make him remember this distressing feeling.
However, she didn't make it in the end, and every punch she threw at Kane made her feel distressed.
She was very aggrieved and guilty, but more of a pity for Kane.
Keisha substituted her own personality into what happened to Kane, and she must be sad now that she was misunderstood when he saved someone, and she thought that Kane's indifferent expression on the surface was just a strong smile mask.
"Then take it back......" Kane said meaningfully, taking her hand.
The sound of gnawing reached his ears, and he looked around.
The burning colony was conspicuous in the night, with countless gnashing teeth, misshapen limbs, and sharp figures looming in the firelight.
The sound was like a swarm of hungry insects gnawing on a ripe crop.
They were so dense and innumerable that it was almost impossible to tell where the head was and where the tail was, and only the stumbling fangs and claws could be seen piercing in the air, as if even space was about to be swallowed.
The Void Beast Tide is an entity formed by the forces of frenzied destruction, the poisonous blood that flows from the corrupt wounds of the material realm.
But Kane is ready, and the end result is nothing more than who devours whom.
The big war is coming, and Kane's attitude of admitting mistakes is okay, so Keisha forgives Kane.
"I'm sorry, but when I do anything in the future, I will consider your feelings."
She dropped the words, then gritted her teeth and rushed towards the beast tide, pouring all the anger she had been building up for a long time on the Void Monster.
The armor was back on her face, and she flicked her hands to form fists, a familiar urge that made her body seem to burn.
Rainstorm in Acacia!
……
The sky revealed a strange fire that did not belong to this world, and bright purple lightning flickered in the shattered land deep in the desert, flickering fork-like cracks one after another.
Two evil figures flew through the night sky, scurrying out of the hell of fangs and claws.
It was too impractical to want two people to wipe out the beast tide, Kane just delayed the Void Beast tide in the ruins, let the convoy run five kilometers west to get out of danger, and then rescued Keisha from the air.
Kane vibrated his wings, grabbed Keisha with both hands, and tore through the night and flew away from the convoy.
The cold wind of the desert night mixed with sand and gravel was blocked by the Void Skin Armor, but thinking back to what had happened during this time, Keisha couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
It turns out that no one will really believe what he said with this monster skin.
"Kane, let's go back to the ground, find a place where no one is around, and wait for your research to make progress."
