Chapter 571: Phoebe and Grandma
"Leon? Are you okay?"
Not knowing that his younger brother, who was a bit brain-damaged now, would evolve into an ultimate "newborn" decades later, after crawling out of the ground that was as soft as a sponge, Veronika immediately hugged Leon's waist and dragged him out.
"It's okay... I'm fine..."
Trying hard to spit twice, spitting out the floor tiles that were as soft as cheesecake, Leon, who was almost hollowed out, hurriedly lifted the reality-modifying ability of the Holy Spirit Pendant, then took out the 【Infected Blood Band】, trying to put it on his injured left shoulder.
"Do you want to wrap this bandage?"
After understanding Leon's intention, Veronika immediately took the bandage, wrapped it on Leon's left shoulder with nimble hands, and according to Leon's reminder, grabbed his right hand and pressed it on the blood-stained bandage.
"Squeak..."
Accompanied by the "health" released by the bandage, a burst of tooth-aching bone friction sounded, Leon's broken left collarbone slowly reset, and the shoulder blade broken by something was also pieced together again.
Soon, a small metal ball, smaller than a soybean, which seemed to be flattened by the collision of bones, was squeezed out of his shoulder by Leon's gradually resetting bones and muscles.
This is... a lead pellet for children's slingshots?
After seeing clearly what fell out, Leon's brows couldn't help but lock tightly, and a hint of surprise from the bottom of his heart flowed in his eyes.
After the Demon series badge was upgraded to Gold level, the range of soul vision had almost increased to three kilometers, but he didn't perceive any killing intent spreading toward him just now, proving that the attacker's position should be beyond his maximum vision.
Even if he was "fixed" in the air and easy to aim at, but being able to break his shoulder blade with a small and soft lead pellet from a distance of at least three kilometers, the attacker's "marksmanship" had already far exceeded the category of human beings, and it could only be some kind of anomalous object ability.
But... his decision to give up using the Holy Spirit Pendant and fly up for long-range sniping was just a temporary decision. How did the other party predict it?
Could it be... causality? Future vision?
But an ability that is so awesome, not used to save the world or rule the world, but used to hit him with a lead pellet? Isn't this guy's brain sick?
Just when Leon was puzzled, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from afar.
Leon followed the sound and found a maid from the Bobby Laien family, who was quietly bypassing the building next to her, touching toward the place where he fell.
No... falling from such a high place, you actually didn't fall to death?
Controlling the maid to poke her head out from the small window of the kitchen, vigilantly looking at the place where the "devil" fell, and discovering that Leon was unscathed, only with a bandage on his shoulder, a certain short man with an injured thigh couldn't help but grit his teeth and hammer the floor.
Should I control the guard again, find a gun? And then... ugh...
Looking at the "devil" who was staring at "himself" and whose lips were gradually curling up, the maid and the short man who controlled the maid couldn't help but tremble together, then lay down on the spot without hesitation.
At the same time, in another building a few dozen meters away, a figure jumped down suddenly, hurriedly ran toward the warehouse where the short man was, kicked open the door, carried his own "out-of-body" flesh, and ran away.
Know when to be content!
Being able to save his life from such a devil, he had already walked with dog-shit luck. If he was still greedy and thinking about assassinating the other party, I am afraid that even this last chance to escape would be gone!
Strange... actually no ambush?
Looking at the short man fleeing in a panic in the soul vision, Leon, who was touching the director's hair, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, feeling somewhat difficult to understand the enemy's motivation.
Waiting vigilantly for a while, and discovering that this assassination was really over and no other rebels appeared, Leon breathed a sigh of relief, but was also puzzled.
Those rebels spent so much effort, and only hit him with a lead pellet, and then there was no follow-up? What exactly are they trying to do?
"Leon, that bandage seems to have stopped."
At this moment, a cautious reminder sounded.
Following Princess Veronika's reminder, looking at the bandage on his shoulder, Leon found that the "health" stored inside was used up, but the injury on his shoulder hadn't fully recovered.
Hmm... the health left in the Infected Blood Band wasn't much to begin with. Today, first treating the sloppy old man, then treating the Princess's fainting, and just now treating his shoulder blade broken by the pellet, it's normal for the "health" inside to be used up. Just supplement some.
"You follow behind me, don't be too far from me."
After instructing the Princess, Leon checked the surroundings with soul vision and found that the building not far away was a kitchen, and there seemed to be a few live chickens and ducks inside, so he got up and took the Princess over, preparing to catch a fat chicken to absorb health with the bandage to heal his injury.
"Quack quack!"
"Cluck cluck! Cluck cluck!" Leon, who pushed the door in, was preparing to catch one from the tied-up chickens and ducks to use the bandage to absorb health, but saw a pair of big curious eyes among a pile of chickens and ducks that were flapping constantly.
"Big brother, who are you?"
"We are here to take chickens and ducks."
After checking the little girl's soul again and confirming that it couldn't be a rebel disguise, Leon, who had just caught a fat chicken, hesitated for a moment. Considering that the creatures wrapped by the 【Infected Blood Band】 had a terrifying way of dying, he didn't do it directly, but stretched out his other hand, trying to cover the little girl's eyes first.
"Hiss..."
Just when Leon raised his left hand, his shoulder blade, which hadn't fully recovered, sent a burst of heart-piercing pain, which made him gasp. Discovering that he couldn't do this now, he had to turn around and look at the Princess outside the kitchen.
"Your Highness, I can't lift my left hand, please take this child out first."
"Just call me Veronika."
Nodding and agreeing to Leon's request, the Princess, who hugged the dirty little girl without any disgust, took her out of the kitchen, and the Princess, who seemed to like children very much, affectionately touched the little girl's forehead with her forehead, and asked with a smile:
"You are so good, come, tell sister what is your name?"
"Me?"
After blinking her crystal-clear big eyes, the little girl stretched out her small hand stained with a lot of carbon ash, patted the Princess's white and greasy chest hard, and then answered seriously:
"Phoebe, Grandma, my name is Phoebe!"
"..."
Hearing the little girl's address to her, the Princess, who was already twenty-eight years old and could be considered an older young woman, couldn't help but freeze, reached out and pinched her little face, correcting her with feigned anger:
"Sister! It's sister!"
"Grandma!"
The little girl said, while reaching out and patting her chest again.
"Not allowed to call me Grandma! Call me sister and I'll give you candy. If you call me Grandma again, sister will hit your butt!"
"Then... you give me candy first."
"Candy..."
Looking at her dress that didn't have any pockets, the Princess, who couldn't make a meal without rice, rolled her eyes and lied:
"Candy is definitely there, but sister doesn't have money on her now. When I have money, I'll buy it for you!"
"Grandma!"
"Slap!"
This little brat!
Looking at the little girl who patted her once every time she called her Grandma, and touched her chest until it was black, Princess Veronika smiled helplessly and gave up the idea of correcting her.
And accompanied by a chicken-like crowing, Leon in the kitchen also finished what he had to do and wrapped the bandage on his shoulder again.
"Sorry for the disturbance, this is the money for the chicken."
Nodding to the beautiful woman holding the child at the door, and handing over two silver wheels, Leon barely resisted the urge to look at the other party's chest, straddled the witch's broom, and flew toward the Cleaning Bureau.
"???"
Why give me money?
Standing blankly in place for a while, Princess Veronika lowered her head and looked at the two silver wheels Leon stuffed into her hand.
What does this mean? Breakup fee?
"Slap!"
"Grandma! Have money!"
