He Comes From the Void

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 scene 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 huddled 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 and 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 brought 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."

"Sacrifice is meant to be sacrificed. By killing the sacrifice, isn't it telling them that sacrifice is effective?" Hearing this, Kane directly twisted her ear: "You might as well go over Those goats killed the two night watchmen, so that you can convey your anger, and you can also warn people to be nervous before bringing the sacrifice."

Keisha was frightened and shook her head again and again: "There is no enmity, how can we kill people? Wouldn't that be the same as a monster?"

"Forget it, let me think of another way."

Killing is still too taboo for Keisha now. She got a lot of positive feedback from humans in the small village in the past, so even if she was misunderstood once, she still has a good impression of humans.

She has seen many things worth protecting in human beings. Those love and kindness actually do not conflict with people's stupidity.

After all, stupidity is just because you haven't seen it with your own eyes, and it's not really hopeless.

Keisha came back to her senses, she quickly noticed Kane who suddenly became quiet, and saw that his expression was normal, without a trace of anger, she wondered: "Why aren't you angry at all?"

Kane was thinking about whether to bring up the tram problem to make things difficult for Kesha and pry her bottom line, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

inappropriate.

"There's nothing to be angry with a group of self-deceiving guys." Kane didn't even feel disappointed. Although there were two unexpected missionaries, the result did not exceed his expectations.

He sighed, and expressed a thought that had been brewing in his heart for a long time: "Kesha, how about... let's leave them alone?"
