Chapter 40: Above the Abyss

"Why are you crying? Are you found out or bullied?"

Seeing Kesha return safely, Kane was about to feel relieved when he saw her eyes red as she took off her helmet and immediately became worried.

Kesha didn't say anything, and reached out to hand over a wooden comb. Kane took it and was stunned. Why did it be a comb?

"We go down to talk, it's not too hidden here."

Back in the open area, Keisha's tears had stopped. Kane showed off his comb and asked her straight to the point:

"Did you take this because I said I wanted to give you a comb?"

He took care of Kesha's self-esteem that had been broken once, saying "take" instead of "stealing".

Keisha nodded and shook her head, seemingly true, Kane's reason only accounted for half.

She thought that this thing was the cheapest thing and could make her feel the least guilty. But she didn't expect that after she brought it over, even the cheapest guilt would make her breathless.

Seeing her silent, Kane took the comb and wanted to comb her hair. Kaysha immediately took a few steps back in a panic, as if the comb was more terrifying than any monster.

"Since you don't need it, why do you still need it?" He sighed. He also had problems with it. He thought it would not be used underground, so he rarely emphasized to her how to deal with people.

It’s understandable that Kaisha likes these things. Just steal things and educate them, but it’s a bit abnormal to blame herself after stealing things.

After Kane asked, Kesha finally spoke, but was not answering his question:

"Without this terrible skin, would I be able to buy what I like like other girls?"

Kane pursed his lips silently, and it was indeed because of this.

With skin nails in her place, she can't be an ordinary girl. It's obviously a simple happiness, but she can't have it and feels depressed.

But have she ever thought that the ability of invisibility is something that ordinary girls can possess?

Don’t like invisibility? Is skin nails too ugly? Is violence not suitable?

What about such a perfect figure? This normal girl definitely did it?

Kesha is still too one-sided to see the problem.

"Indeed, it's too pitiful for girls to go shopping, but this is different from your taking other people's things. Good girls are not like this."

This time, even Kane didn't protect herself, and Kasha felt that she was really wrong.

"I haven't used it yet, can I pay it back?"

Kane did not answer, and he silently took out a gold coin from the gap in his armor and put it into Kesha's hand.

"Why do you have money?" Kaisha was stunned at first. Why did Kane have money? But she immediately figured it out that it was the legacy of the bird vendor...

"You put the money back quietly and just think you have bought a comb."

He knew that this was not right, but Kaisha's situation was special, and he also saw that she wanted this comb very much.

"But they still didn't agree. Is this considered a forced buying and selling?" Kaisha was confused for a moment.

"The same comb can be bought with dozens of handfuls. Merchants are profit-oriented and will not refuse. However, don't do this next time. Be patient for a while. Then I will accompany you to go shopping openly."

"Okay..." Kaisha felt moved and was about to return to the market with gold coins, and then was stopped by Kane.

"Aren't you hungry? Don't go today when you wait tomorrow."

Invisibility also consumes energy, and the less energy, the hug the skin nails will be. Kane sometimes wonders, if one day they are too hungry and don’t eat enough, is it going to be his turn?

"Let's go hunting."

"oh."

Kesha was already confused at this moment, and followed Cain foolishly, listening to him scolding him.

"I suspect you did it on purpose. You have a reason to go back on it after taking the comb, right? I've long seen through your cleverness."

"Where do I have it!" Kaisha angrily.

She felt wronged at first, but when she thought of being stolen and praised for being smart, she suddenly felt much better.

Kane used the radar to pursue the void creatures all the way down. At this time, when Kesha was still immersed in her yearning for the beautiful world on the ground, she did not realize that these beautiful things were like dreams on the cicada's wings, extremely fragile.

In order to hunt, they came to a cave. Seeing that the light on the cave wall did not come from themselves, but was illuminated by some alien object below, they suddenly noticed a familiar uneasiness.

"It would be..."

Kane looked down the slope and saw the lake where purple light gathered, reflecting ripples from another dimension.

And the creatures on the ground know nothing about this.

He discovered a terrifying fact that this settlement was actually built on an abyss!

The two of them looked at each other, frowned, and at the same time realized the seriousness of the matter.

This abyss is so close to the ground that it doubles down on danger.

Once the creatures in the void discover the creatures on the ground, the settlement will disappear overnight! It will be erased from the edge of Shurima!

"Kain, we have to do something! We must save it!" The scene on the ground gave Kaisha a great feeling, and she couldn't stand by and watch.

On the one hand, she couldn't get over her conscience, and on the other hand, she couldn't let the void swallow and grow stronger.

This time it is a small settlement, and then it may be a town next time! Especially after Kane said that nearly half of Shurima's underground was hollowed out by void creatures, this changed from possible occurrence to sooner or later.

Kane knows Kesha's personality, and she is kind and cannot let people be swallowed by the void.

She knew very well that she was unique, that there was a river flowing poison under the world of people living, and she was the antidote.

This sense of responsibility has awakened, and it is difficult for him to reverse her stubbornness.

So, he didn't put out the thankless idea of ​​putting her down, even if people finally denied everything she did to save them.

"How to save it? Do you have any ideas?" Kane held his chin and looked thoughtful.

Kesha didn't realize that she would face the biggest setback in her life, so she thought seriously and said, "We can't seal the abyss, and the void creatures will crawl out from it continuously, so let the people above move away."

"They won't move away easily, and the price of moving in the desert is not small." Kane curled his lips and thought to himself, Kasha, you have never seen the power of a nail house.

"There is nothing more important than life. If they don't move, then threaten them with death!" Kesha clenched her fist and her expression became serious.

"Threats can be done, but we can't have direct contact with people, it's better to move away without knowing us from beginning to end."

"Hiss, it's so hard!" Kesha wanted to go up and scare them away.

But she may not have thought about it carefully. Humans are united creatures. One person will be afraid of her, but what if there are hundreds of people?

The result will surprise her.

"It's right." Kane lowered his head and looked deep.

He never thought that this matter would be solved easily.
