Chapter 568: The Trick Isn't New, But It Works

~7 min read 1,394 words

"Kid! Gun!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just as Leon was using the Black Goat's ability to quickly ask for the information he needed, a golden-haired guard who had fainted outside the door suddenly pulled out the nail gun at his waist and fired four shots at Leon's head, forcibly interrupting his interrogation.

Golden-haired? Would people from the Laien family also join the rebels?

Relying on the shield of the Holy Spirit Pendant to block all four nail shots, Leon, feeling that something was wrong, frowned as he watched the golden-haired guard, who was skillfully changing the gas storage tank from afar, raise his gun again to shoot at him. He changed the invisible long nail that was about to be shot at the other party's head to hit the nail gun in the golden-haired guard's hand.

"Click!"

Only hearing a sharp sound of metal breaking, the gas storage tank the golden-haired guard had just changed exploded instantly, and the rapidly expanding compressed air pushed him directly to fly backward, hitting the wall behind him head-on.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the gas channel in his hand that had been shattered and could no longer be used, the golden-haired guard couldn't help but curse hatefully, then threw the nail gun in his hand at Leon, and then rolled his eyes and fell backward.

At the same time, another guard in Leon's blind spot suddenly stood up, also pulled out the nail gun at his waist, and fired four more nail shots at the back of Leon's head.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Sure enough, that person from the Laien family was just controlled, not the main body of another rebel. As for the ability of the other rebel, it should be some method to forcibly control other people's actions.

Turning his head after hearing the sound, looking at the nail shots that fell on the ground and the guard in the distance who was still shooting at him, Leon couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his back.

No wonder the mortality rate of the Cleaning Bureau remains high. When facing various anomalous objects with strange abilities, especially people who control anomalous objects, it is truly impossible to have even half a moment of negligence!

If he had used less brain just now and killed the golden-haired guard directly with the Holy Spirit Pendant, not only would he have mistakenly killed an innocent person who was controlled, but once he thought the enemy had been solved and put away the protective cover to save physical strength, he would definitely have been directly shot in the head by this black gun fired from a blind spot!

Damn it! His ability is so annoying!

Watching Leon, who didn't pay attention to "his" shooting but was standing in the invisible protective cover with furrowed brows observing the situation around, the person who controlled the golden-haired guard couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.

After emptying all the nail shots in this guard's gun without breaking Leon's protective cover, he had no choice but to change to a new body and continue to shoot at Leon from another blind spot.

Later, even when the previous body had just pulled the trigger and the nail shot hadn't left the chamber, he had already switched to a new body and pulled out the gun to shoot wildly. The sound of bang bang bang bang almost connected into one piece.

However, unfortunately, no matter where he fired from, even those blind spots that were impossible to be seen, he couldn't break through the invisible "turtle shell" around the target. Hundreds of nail shots didn't miss a single one, all were blocked, and not a single one entered within half a meter of the target.

How can this be killed?

Looking at the "materials" available for "parasitism" in the hall being knocked down one by one by the target, and the remaining ones being almost all unarmed people, the second rebel couldn't help but helplessly put down the nail gun in his hand.

No wonder Barton and Samantha fell into his hands one after another. This person's ability, although simple and crude, can both attack and defend, and the strength of both offense and defense is clearly beyond the range of ordinary firearms.

If it were a sudden assassination, he could still think of a way to sneak attack him, but in this situation where the other party was prepared, his ability was completely countered by him!

Giving up? Then it's my turn!

After hearing the gunshots stop, Leon looked at the middle-aged guard in the distance who had stopped shooting on his own initiative, then asked with a calm expression:

"Tell me, is your main body nearby?"

?!!!

It's here! It's that fatal interrogation method!

Upon hearing Leon's question, the middle-aged guard couldn't help but be shocked, then immediately continued to raise his gun and shoot, and switched to another body to continue raising his gun and shooting, trying to use the noisy gunshots to cover up the devil-like questioning of the other party. However, it was a pity that just with this delay, Leon had already successfully obtained the answer he wanted.

"So your main body is also nearby."

Turning his head to look at another guard behind him, destroying the nail gun in his hand, and interrupting the deafening gunshots, Leon's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, then he continued to ask:

"Is your main body in the hall?"

"Not in the hall? Then in the manor? On the outskirts of the manor?"

"Neither? Then in the core building area? Or near the main building? Is it a position very close to the hall, but not in the hall?"

"Near the hall... what does your main body look like? Is it a man? A fat man? A thin man? An old man? A young man?"

"..."

Following Leon's unhurried questioning, the person controlled by the second rebel had an increasingly terrified expression on his face.

Even if he switched bodies and didn't move at all, lying on the ground and pretending to faint, Leon's questioning voice was only slightly slower, still ringing steadily and continuously.

He only felt that it seemed like a fierce tiger was dismantling the package beside him layer by layer. Every time the other party asked a sentence, his disguise was peeled off layer by layer in a light-hearted manner, and the protection between him and the tiger's mouth would be less by one layer.

At the beginning, he only heard the sound of the "tiger," and as more and more "protection" was peeled off, he gradually felt the powerful pressing of the tiger's claws.

Slowly, he seemed to have smelled the bloody smell in the other party's mouth, felt the sharp teeth hanging with minced meat, and was lightly brushing across his neck, which was full of goosebumps, through the last layer of protection as thin as a cicada's wing...

"A young man who is outside the hall but very close, with a relatively thin body and a somewhat short stature?"

After summarizing the answers he obtained, Leon tilted his head and thought for a while, then showed a look of realization.

"Able to enter the Laien Manor, but not enter the hall... then the identity you disguised as should be a servant or attendant, right?"

"I remember when I just got off the carriage earlier, there seemed to be a relatively short attendant responsible for carrying the footstool for getting off the carriage... that wouldn't be you, right?"

"..."

He knew! He knew who I was!

Seeing that his main body had been exposed, the rebel, who was tortured by this feeling of the noose slowly tightening until he was almost crazy, finally couldn't hold on anymore.

"Devil! You devil!!!"

A fat woman who was trembling and lying at the door jumped up suddenly, roared at Leon with a crying voice, and then fell to the ground again with a thump.

At the same time, in Leon's soul vision, a terrified soul, as if being chased by something behind it, rushed out of the hall, hurriedly threw itself into a body, and then ran wildly toward the outside of the manor!

Never coming again! I will never come again!
