Chapter 571: Phoebe and Grandma

"Leon? Are you okay?"

Not knowing that his brother, who was a bit brain-damaged now, would evolve into an ultimate "newborn" decades later, Veronika immediately hugged Leon's waist and dragged him out after crawling out of the ground that was as soft as a sponge.

"I'm fine... I'm okay..."

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.

"Is it to wrap this bandage?"

After understanding Leon's intention, Veronika immediately took the bandage, wrapped it on Leon's left shoulder skillfully, 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 clavicle slowly reset, and the shoulder blade that had been shattered by something was also pieced back together.

Soon, a small metal ball, smaller than a soybean and seemingly flattened by the collision of bones, was squeezed out from his shoulder by Leon's gradually resetting bones and muscles.

This is... a lead pellet from a child's slingshot?

After seeing clearly what fell out, Leon's brows couldn't help but lock tightly, a trace of astonishment from the bottom of his heart flowing 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 field of vision.

Even if he was "fixed" in the air and easy to aim at, being able to shatter 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 humans, and could only be some kind of anomalous object ability.

But... he gave up using the Holy Spirit Pendant and flew up for long-range sniping, which 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 brain sick?

Just when Leon was puzzled, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from afar.

Leon looked in the direction of the sound and found a maid from the Laien family, quietly bypassing the building next to it, and touching toward the place where he fell.

No... falling from such a height, you actually haven't died yet?

Controlling the maid to poke her head out from the small window of the kitchen, vigilantly looking toward the place where the "devil" fell, and finding that Leon was actually unscathed, with only a bandage on his shoulder, the short man who had an injured leg couldn't help but hammer the floor with gritted teeth.

Should I control a guard again, find a gun? And then... uh...

Looking at the devil who was fixedly looking toward "himself" and whose lips were gradually curling upward, the maid and the short man who controlled the maid couldn't help but shudder together, and then lay down on the spot without hesitation.

At the same time, in a 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 "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 had dog-shit luck. If he was still greedy and thinking about assassinating the other party, I'm afraid even this last chance to escape would be gone!

Strange... actually no ambush?

Looking at the short man who was fleeing in a panic in the soul vision, Leon, who was touching the director's hair, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, feeling a bit difficult to understand the enemy's motivation.

Waiting vigilantly for a while, and finding that this assassination was really over and no other rebels appeared, Leon breathed a sigh of relief while also being puzzled.

Those rebels spent so much effort, and as a result, only hit him with a lead pellet, and there was no follow-up? What exactly are they trying to do?

"Leon, that bandage seems to have stopped."

Just then, a cautious reminder sounded.

Following Princess Veronika's reminder, Leon looked at the bandage on his shoulder and found that it was because the "health" stored inside had run out, 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 shattered by the pellet, it was normal for the "health" inside to run out. Just need to replenish some.

"You follow behind me, don't stay too far from me."

After instructing the Princess, Leon checked the surroundings with soul vision and found that the building next to it was a kitchen, and there seemed to be a few live chickens and ducks inside, so he got up and took the Princess to walk over, preparing to replenish the health consumed by the 【Infected Blood Band】.

"Quack quack!"

"Cluck cluck! Cluck cluck!" Leon, who pushed the door and entered, was preparing to grab one from the chickens and ducks tied up, to absorb some health for his injury, but among a pile of chickens and ducks flapping non-stop, he saw a pair of curious big eyes.

"Big brother, who are you?"

"We are here to take chickens and ducks."

After carefully checking the little girl's soul and confirming that it couldn't be a disguise by a rebel, 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 lifted his left hand, his shoulder blade, which hadn't fully recovered, sent a burst of heart-tearing pain, making him gasp. Finding 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 to agree to Leon's request, Veronika, who didn't dislike the dirty little girl at all, picked her up, took her out of the kitchen, and then, as if she liked children very much, affectionately touched the little girl's forehead with her forehead, and coaxed with a smile:

"You are so well-behaved, come, tell sister what your name is?"

"Me?"

After blinking her crystal-clear big eyes, the little girl stretched out her small black hand stained with a lot of carbon ash, patted Veronika's white chest hard, and then answered seriously:

"Phoebe, Grandma, my name is Phoebe!"

"..."

Hearing the little girl's address to her, Veronika, who was twenty-eight years old and could be considered an older woman, couldn't help but stiffen her face, reached out to pinch her little face, and corrected her pretending to be angry:

"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, Veronika, who couldn't make a meal without rice, rolled her eyes and could only deceive her:

"Candy definitely exists, 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, making her chest all black, Veronika smiled helplessly and gave up the idea of correcting her.

And accompanied by a chicken-like crowing sound, 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 incidentally stuffing two silver wheels into her hand, 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, Veronika looked down at the two silver wheels Leon stuffed into her hand.

What does this mean? Breakup fee?

"Slap!"

"Grandma! Have money!"
