He Comes From the Void

Keisha's chest was pumped with intense joy, and she couldn't help speeding up her pace and crawling upwards.

"Kesha!" Kane called from behind.

"What's the matter?" She looked back at him, laughing from under the mask.

Kane hesitated to speak, and he said thousands of words into one sentence: "It's nothing, just be careful when you go up."

"Yeah." Keisha continued to climb up, the tunnel was narrow and sloped, so she could only climb.

At the end of the tunnel, Keisha saw a gap above her head with skylight shining through. That was the world she longed for!

So close!

For a moment, she seemed to have returned to that childhood that was about to be forgotten, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Kane patted her calf and held up a finger in front of her mouth to calm her down.

silence.

listen.

Keisha fell silent, feeling the movement from the ground.

The helmet amplified their five senses, the air was filled with a strong smell, the sound of people bargaining, the pungent smell of spices and barbecue came from the mouth, and the sourness of desire was in the mouth.

This is likely to be the market, but I don't know what the specific situation is.

Kane's consciousness network can only detect void creatures, and there is nothing he can do about it. He can only make Kesha be careful.

He won't follow, Kesha can only explore on her own.

The void skin armor rippled, Kesha's figure disappeared, but she was still in place.

She stretched out her hand to grab the gap, opening it little by little until she could poke her whole head out.

She saw the little bazaar drowned in color and noise, with arched canvas awnings next to each other covering almost the entire street, the air hot with the sun, and people setting up their stalls in the shade.

Water sellers, livestock sellers, spice sellers, fruit sellers... Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. This settlement is more prosperous than the small village where she stayed for ten years.

"Is this the world above? I'm back."

Keisha was full of anticipation, seeing that no one noticed the edge corner where she was, she smashed the dry soil above her head, and then got out.

She didn't forget Kane's advice, and the first thing she did when she went up was to quietly move something to seal the exit.

The tunnel exit is located at the corner of an abandoned earth wall, which can block the view from the other side, and there is a defective clay vat next to it, which contains only withered grass and fruit cores. Kesha moved it over to block the hole.

Before sealing her mouth, she did not forget to wave to Kane in the tunnel, but this was done in an invisible state, and she didn't know if he could feel it.

After finishing all this, Keisha walked to the market carefully.

The streets smell of sweat, and there are all kinds of pedestrians coming and going, but in general it is not very dense, and Keisha can walk in it with ease.

Keisha noticed the sunny spot in the middle of the road that was not shaded by the awning, where few people walked. Even if they had to cross the width of less than five meters, they had to speed up and run over as quickly as possible, as if they would die if they touched the sun.

Keisha looked up at the sky, the sun is very vicious today, but it's not like hiding like a vampire.

Seeing this, she suddenly came up with an idea—would it be possible that no one would foolishly bump into her when she walked into the sun?

Dodging passers-by, she thrusts one foot into the sunlight, which twists on her armor.

Then she showed her feet.

Kaisha found that although her main body was still invisible, the shadow cast by the sun was still there!

Fortunately, no one will notice that there is a sudden black spot in the sunlight, and even if they do, they will think of it as the shadow cast by a bird that landed on the awning.

Keisha retracted her feet into the shadows and continued to walk around the market dodging pedestrians.

The street was very tidy, but her eyes did not always fall on the stalls on both sides. Sometimes she also looks at the beautiful houses on both sides, bathing in the sunshine brick by brick.

On the top of one of the temples she saw a huge golden disk, a crude imitation of the fabled sun disk, without a trace of magic flowing on its surface, but containing the glory of Shurima's past.

I once heard Kane say that the real solar disk is very big, floating in the sky and towering into the clouds.

Kaisha came to a sheepfold unknowingly. The animals inside asked her smell, and immediately ran in panic, stretched the leash straight, and almost jumped out of the sheepfold.

The peddler walked over and scolded the animals, while Keisha hurried away.

Suddenly, a trace of bloody smell entered her nose, arousing the desire for flesh and blood. The inner layer of the carapace clenched the flesh tightly, the pain made her feet go limp, and her invisibility was almost released.

It wanted to eat, and Kesha subconsciously looked at the source of the bloody smell - a butcher slaughtered a goat on the street, and was bleeding it with a wooden barrel.

Keisha bypassed there, wandered to a booth and stopped there.

Dozens of baskets are filled with all kinds of small items, including bracelets, necklaces, bracelets and earrings, all of which are favorites of girls.

And Keisha's favorite is a wooden comb, with a silver-plated comb next to it, and a carved comb, but she just likes this ordinary mahogany comb because it is the cheapest.

However, no matter how cheap it is, she has no money and dare not show up to buy things.

A veiled girl who was not two years older than her came over. Keisha hurriedly stepped aside, and the stall owner and the girl introduced enthusiastically, completely unaware that her products were being secretly peeped at.

Kesha watched the whole process, watching the girls pick and choose at random, and finally chose a shell bracelet that is rarely seen in the desert, paid the money and left happily, suddenly feeling very envious.

Looking back at the wooden comb that the girl didn't even look at, a thought suddenly popped up in Kesha's mind: Do you want to take one away quietly? No one will find out.

Kesha was ashamed of what she thought, and while it wasn't a valuable item, stealing was wrong.

But she really wanted to go back underground with the comb as a memorial, and let Kane comb her hair, which made her enjoy it very much.

She also saw the ear cleaning stick, maybe it would be more comfortable to clean the ears, but the dark underground seems not suitable.

There was a vanity mirror next to it, but she didn't dare to look at her face yet. She wasn't sure if she was still the little girl she remembered. Kane said she was beautiful, and she didn't want or dare to verify whether it was true.

Looking back to the comb, Keisha still wanted it most.

The stall owner suddenly pointed at Kesha. She was startled, thinking she had been discovered.

Then she looked around in a panic, only to realize that she was referring to a giant beast not far behind her.

The giant beast was Scarash, and it was the first time Keisha had seen it, but he had heard it from his father before.

Its body was taller than the houses on the street, and its four hooves were thin and long like a giraffe, but its neck was as short as that of a cow, and it didn't know how to drink the water on the ground.

Scarash can carry people on its back, and under the control of the rider, it is walking towards the street where Keisha is.

It's time for Keisha to go, her smell might startle the giant beast and make it run wild, and with so many people on the street, it's definitely not what she wants to see if they collide and cause trouble.

So she planned to leave, but before she left, she saw the stall owner and the passers-by on the street looking at Scarash.

In the end, she still couldn't resist the temptation and did something wrong.

No one noticed a wooden comb that disappeared out of thin air.

She ran up the street, and as if fleeing, a gust of dark wind rolled up.

The comb in her hand couldn't be invisible with her, so she put it in her arms to cover it tightly.

When she came to the corner of the bazaar, she moved the clay jar away and quietly slipped back into the cracks in the ground.

Seeing Kane still waiting in the tunnel when she turned her head, Keisha was startled at first, and then suddenly had a sore nose.
