Chapter 542: Anchor Point

"Click! Click! Click!"

Looking at the strong old man who was blocking the lobby on the first floor of Happiness Apartment and holding a large pair of scissors, looking at him with hostility, Leon couldn't help but rub his temples with a headache.

Damn, after the demon badge advanced to Gold, the "demon taste" in his soul seemed to be too strong. Before the Holy Spirit badge reached the Gold level, he estimated that he could really only sleep in the office.

Or...

Looking at the administrator aunt in the lobby who had an apologetic look, Leon tried to ask:

"That... Aunt Mary, do you mind if I use some means to tie your husband for a while? Mainly because it's been more than a week since I went home last time, I really want to go back and see..."

"Tie him, tie him!"

After twisting the strong old man's waist several times and failing to make him give way, the administrator aunt could only shake her head of snow-white curly hair, and said with a rather helpless expression:

"Auntie knows you are a good person. The problem with the soul should be caused by the work of the Cleanup Bureau. There is no reason to stop you from going home. Sigh, like this, as long as you don't let him get hurt, you can tie him for a night."

"No, no, it won't take that long, just a little while."

For these two old people who had always been doing good deeds whether alive or dead, Leon still respected them very much. Hearing this, he hurriedly refused her suggestion, then slowly stimulated the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant, forcibly pressed the strong old man in place, and then rushed up the stairs without looking back.

"Click!"

Seeing the "evil demon cub" actually go upstairs, the strong old man couldn't help but widen his eyes, his solid latissimus dorsi muscles swelled suddenly, actually pushing the restraint of the Holy Spirit Pendant open a little, and waving the large scissors, he wanted to chase after him.

However, he had only taken two steps when he was tightly entangled by balls of yarn, forcibly tied to the side of the stairs, and the soft flesh on his waist was pinched hard.

"You stubborn old man! You were stubborn when you were alive, and even more stubborn after you died... Stick your neck out a little, let me measure the length!"

After twisting the strong old man's waist twice, looking at her husband who was still holding the large scissors and wanting to rush up, the administrator aunt couldn't help but shake her head helplessly, then moved a small stool and sat in the corridor, measuring the strong old man's neck and knitting a wool scarf.

And waiting for a while on the third floor, not seeing the strong old man chasing up, Leon breathed a sigh of relief and ran toward the sixth floor.

"Brother?"

It was still the familiar early door opening. The moment Leon climbed to the sixth floor, the door near the stairs opened suddenly, and a warm orange light spilled out, illuminating the somewhat dim corridor and shining on Leon's body.

Although she had already recognized the footsteps, looking at Leon who was covered in dust and rushing home, the somewhat haggard Anna still couldn't help but feel a shock, and a feeling of relief appeared in her eyes.

It's just that before Leon could speak, the relief in her eyes turned into deep worry and grievance.

Biting her lower lip hard, the sickly girl turned her head slightly, her voice slightly complaining softly:

"Work finished?"

"Uh... not yet..."

Catching the slight complaint in his sister's eyes, Leon couldn't help but stop, his eyes full of apology: "Sorry, Anna, there have been a lot of things in the bureau recently. I just came back to see you guys in my spare time, I have to go in a while..."

"Okay..."

After listening to Leon's words, although she was still a bit angry about his act of disappearing for seven or eight days without a sound, looking at his dusty and exhausted appearance, the sickly girl couldn't help but bite her lip again, and couldn't help but instruct with heartache:

"Remember to take care of your body, don't shoulder everything. If you are really too tired, just ask for more leave, and it's okay to take less salary.

Life at home is much better now, and my body is much stronger than before. If both of us can work, we can afford to raise Melannie and the others even if we earn less, you don't have to work so hard..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Looking at the sister in front of him who was instructing him with heartache, Leon subconsciously curled his lips, only feeling his whole body relax slightly, obtaining a kind of lightness and freedom that had been long lost.

Regardless of whether it was the ruthlessness and ferocity of killing the Sect Master just now, or the bloody smell that had been lingering in his heart after the Laien Blood Night, when he returned to this warm little home and was shone upon by that warm light, they were all cleaned away thoroughly.

The current him is no longer the cleanup officer in the Cleanup Bureau who is decisive in killing and does not show mercy when making a move, nor is he the stranger from another land who suppresses anger and unwillingness and is out of tune with this world, but an ordinary person who longs for quiet rest in the harbor after working hard all day.

"Anna, fortunately you are still here..."

After sighing from the bottom of his heart, Leon, who had regained some "humanity", couldn't help but step forward, gave his sister a big hug, then buried his head in Anna's still somewhat thin shoulder, and took a deep breath almost greedily.

Although he had only joined the Cleanup Bureau for a month, if he looked back suddenly, he would find that the current him and the past him were almost two people. At the very least, the him of a month ago absolutely couldn't do it, hearing the three words "Money-Weighing Sect" and directly making a move to pinch someone's head.

Although he could comfort himself that this was a work requirement, the fact was that he was indeed moving away from the normal range and moving toward the "non-human" world, and the speed was constantly accelerating.

And although Anna's shoulders were thin, just like he was supporting this home from falling, the existence of her and the two little guys was also supporting his cognition as a "human".

If it weren't for them as "anchor points", although it was unlikely that he would become some great evil, he would probably also become the kind of cleanup officer in the Black Goat's words who, except for the appearance still being human, had almost nothing to do with humans under the constant infection of anomalous objects...

"Ah! You... don't..."

Suddenly being hugged hard by Leon, and then having his face buried in his neck to smell around, Anna couldn't help but be startled, blushing and instinctively wanting to push him away.

But after being hugged for a few seconds, seeming to have vaguely felt something from the overly deep strength of this hug, she couldn't help but be slightly startled, then gave up struggling, regardless of the dust on Leon's body, hugged his waist back, making the two hug more closely.

After leaning her chin on Leon's shoulder, the sickly girl tilted her head slightly, whispered softly with a soft look in her eyes while stroking Leon's spine, ignoring the hot and itchy breathing on her neck:

"Brother... no matter when, if you feel tired, just come home, I will always be waiting for you."
