Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 164 Nice to meet you, Kai'Sa

More than ten minutes ago, in the underground passage.

Kai'Sa was carrying the spoils of the core parts stripped from Void Spirit, and was heading back to her temporary stronghold, preparing to rest for two days and continue hunting monsters.

But what she didn't expect was that she had just carefully walked through the two tunnels when she suddenly heard the roars of several ethereal spirits.

And this kind of cry, she had never heard it before.

"Is this...fear? But how can these mindless monsters have such emotions?"

Kai'Sa felt the tingling from her second skin and understood the meaning of the cry.

After thinking about it, she dug a pit on the ground with her sharp chitin claws, buried the ethereal core in it first, and made a mark.

Anyway, she is very familiar with this underground space, as long as she remembers where this core is buried.

Afterwards, Kai'Sa moved over in the direction where the Void Spirit roared.

Most of the ethereal spirits that usually don't have energy and flesh and blood should be in a state similar to "sleeping", staying in the core area of ​​​​the void fissure.

She had to see what happened to these monsters and why they suddenly went berserk.

However, just as Kai'Sa's hidden aura approached there, seven very manic ethereal bugs with different appearances rushed straight to her position.

Although she had struggled to survive in the underground void for three years, she had never seen such a situation before, and she panicked for a while.

When Kai'Sa took the initiative to attack, she regretted that the target of these bugs was not her, but herself blocking their way.

If they hold back the panic and don't move, they will actually ignore themselves.

After attacking and fleeing in a panic for a few minutes, Kai'Sa ran into the tunnel where Li Lin and Kassadin were, and regarded them and the floating robot as ethereal...

But before she put her whole body into the "extreme overload" state and was about to fight the "empty spirits" to the death, she was stunned by the familiar words.

The man with the handle on his right arm that made her feel afraid of the second skin suddenly disappeared in place and appeared behind her.

"It's taboo to be in a daze during the battle! If you don't want to die, don't be dazed anymore!"

This familiar voice...

Memories of my father always catch people off guard.

Kai'Sa, whose eyes were slightly moist, sighed softly, comforting herself in her heart:

But he's dead Kai'Sa, you can't always live in the past...

After being dazed for a short while, she immediately came to her senses, quickly turned around and let go of the energy in her cheek pouch with all her strength, and fired several scorching missiles at the last Void Spirit.

Under the joint action of Li Lin and the storm robot's long-range firepower suppression and the void ball fired from Kassadin's Blade of the Underworld, the only remaining void spirits were separated and shattered in a series of explosions, and were directly annihilated in the gathered energy middle.

Eliminating the immediate threat, Kai'Sa breathed a sigh of relief, controlled the cheek pouches on her shoulders to shrink in half, and then turned to look at Kassadin first.

Before she could say anything, Kassadin, who was already full of doubts in his heart, took the lead to ask: "Who are you? How did you end up in this kind of place? And what... is it void?"

"Don't worry, take your time one question at a time."

Kai'Sa hadn't seen a living person for too long, so she was a little excited.

Seeing Li Lin approaching, she first unfolded her helmet made of void living skin, revealing her original appearance.

"First of all, I am a human just like you, not a void monster. My name is Kai'Sa..."

"Wait... you?!"

With the help of the night vision function, Kassadin saw her appearance clearly, his eyes widened, and he froze immediately.

In addition to three symmetrical double purple lines on the cheeks and forehead, the originally blue eyes have turned purple, and the pronunciation of the name is different...

This girl is exactly what my daughter will look like when she grows up!
Kassadin's eyes were instantly blurred with tears.

He retracted the blade of the underworld, and his right hand, which was in the air, trembled visibly with the naked eye.

Kaisha raised her eyebrows, subconsciously took a step back, not understanding the middle-aged man's intentions.

"Kai... Kesha... is that you?"

Kassadin's voice was a little choked up.

Wait...how did he know my original name? !

Kaisha suddenly sucked in a breath of air, and a thought that was completely unconfirmed appeared in her mind.

"Father...Father?" She called out uncertainly in a very low voice.

"Oh, yes! Bin Siqi, it's me... I'm Kassadin!"

Kassadin controlled the power armor and unfolded the helmet, revealing the face that had been through many years of vicissitudes.

Kaisha couldn't help stretching out her hand to half-cover her open mouth, and crystal clear tears slipped down the side of her face in an instant.

She couldn't believe that her father, the beloved father who she thought had also died in the hands of Void, would appear in this place...

The appearance of his father was quite different from what he remembered.

In addition to the deeper imprints left by the years on his face, his temples and half-long hair are already mixed black and white, and he has not returned to his original black and capable short hair.

"This, is this true? Dad...you are still alive?!"

Kassadin, who was weeping silently, embraced Kassa, who had been weeping so hard and turned into tears, into his arms, and kept kissing the withered hair on the top of her head.

Li Lin also unfolded his mask, silently watching the reunited father and daughter, affected by their emotions, with tears in his eyes.

He moved a little away from the two of them, leaving enough space for them, and took on the responsibility of guarding, in case some Void Spirits didn't "wink" and chose to launch a sneak attack at this time.

Kassadin and Kassa hugged each other tenderly for a long time, until their tears almost dried up and they could no longer cry, they finally separated, sat on the side of the tunnel, leaning against the dirt wall and told each other their experiences over the years.

On a certain day three years ago, Kaisha and her friends discovered a goat that was purchased from nomads by those nagging strangers in a fence.

She heard from her mother that these goats were used for "sacrifice", that is, as a tribute, so she and her friends cut the rope with the dagger that Kassadin gave her when she was eight years old and let them go.

It was this unintentional move that led to unimaginable things...

The earth trembled, scorching flashes illuminated the sky, and a huge purple mouth that seemed to be able to lead to the underground abyss tore through the bedrock, swallowing the entire village and everyone in it.

Afterwards, Kai'Sa, who found herself trapped underground, could have heard the cries of other survivors.

But as time went by, she found that she was the only one who survived.

When Kai'Sa was desperate, she found a purple light, which attracted her to the ground.

Along the way, she picked up scattered food on the road to satisfy her hunger. Occasionally, she could find scattered water bags and even rotten fruits, her favorite peach...

The last gift of the ruins of these crumbling villages has allowed her to survive the most difficult beginnings.

But in the end, Kai'Sa, who followed the light to the deepest part, was once again filled with fear.

It was a huge cave, illuminated by purple evil "lights", and full of large, rustling "creatures" with strange appearances.

That was the first time she faced the void.

Kai'Sa's inadvertent movement disturbed a bug that was about the same size as her at the time.

It opened its huge mouth full of needle-like spikes and pounced on her, trying to swallow her into its belly.

Kai'Sa used the dagger given by Kassadin to resist fiercely. Although the blade had collapsed, fortunately it pierced the monster's softer core.

The two sides rolled down a steep slope into a deeper part of the ground, and when Kai'Sa woke up again, she found that the monster's strange skin was attached to her body...

For the next three years, Kai'Sa struggled to survive underground, and the void skin grew with her, and quickly covered most of her body, becoming her second skin.

In the next few battles, she suddenly discovered that her second skin could devour those monsters for evolution, which gave her a clear plan in mind:

Fight with all your strength, survive, and find your way home...

These beliefs have supported her to this day.

"It's all my fault, I'm sorry... I hurt everyone..." Kai'Sa was still sobbing.

Ever since this horrible thing happened, she has been feeling guilty in her heart, thinking that the deaths of her parents, elders in the village, and friends are all because of herself.

Although Kai'Sa later discovered that the characteristic of the void is devouring, as long as there are living creatures eating and energy supply, they will sooner or later swallow their villages in their stomachs.

But the guilt in her heart has not subsided in the slightest...

Kassadin shook his head, "No, Kesha, it's not your fault."

He has read many ancient classics and studied the battle between the gods and the void, and he also understands the characteristics of the void.

"Their essence is to devour everything. Even if you didn't do this, they will still be awakened by those cultists. Those damned guys have long regarded the people of our village as sacrifices..."

He first comforted Kai'Sa, then gritted his teeth.

Kaisha sniffled her nose twice, and suddenly thought of another question: Since father is still alive, then... mother?

"By the way, Dad, did you find any other survivors in the village back then?"

Kassadin was silent for a moment, knowing what his daughter was thinking very well, he guessed what Kassa really wanted to ask.

"Sorry... I haven't been able to post any surviving people or livestock, not even a dead body."

"Is that so..."

Kai'Sa lowered her eyes, a hint of loneliness and disappointment flashed in her deep purple eyes.

However, she has already changed her mind.

Knowing that her father was still alive today, she was extremely pleasantly surprised and very satisfied.

Kai'Sa shook her head, restraining her complicated thoughts.

Then, she turned her eyes to Li Lin, who was standing in the distance and studying the corpse of Void Spirit, "Dad, he is..."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you."

Kassadin stood up, pulled Kaisha up by the way, grabbed her wrist and walked to Li Lin's side.

Hearing the approaching footsteps of the two, Li Lin paused the work at hand, got up and looked at their father and daughter.

"This is Li Lin, a well-known hextech craftsman from a member of Piltover's family. He must be my benefactor."

A smile appeared on Kassadin's face, in stark contrast to his gloomy appearance before.

"I met him in Fulgan's Tavern in Zaun. At that time, he heard what happened to me and offered to help... The power armor on us was invented by him."

Kassadin used to tell Kaisha a lot about the Piltover Hex technology, so she has a fairly good understanding of it.

But this is the first time she has seen this type of power armor.

It turned out that what looked similar to my living skin was actually a product of Hex Technology.

Kaisha looked at Li Lin with curiosity, "Hello, Mr. Li Lin, I will give you water and shade. My name is Kai... No, Kaisha."

She heard from her father that there was a handshake ceremony in Piltover, so she stretched out her right hand in a dignified manner.

But when she saw the void carapace attached to her hand, she worried that it would scare Li Lin, and wanted to withdraw her little hand in a panic like a frightened deer.

However, before Kaisha withdrew her hand, Li Lin, who had seen her worried expression in advance, reached out and held her hand together.

"I'll also give you water and shade, just call me Li Lin."

He paused, showing a kind smile, "Nice to meet you, Kaisha."
