"Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma?"

Looking at the bustling street in front of her, and the curious gazes cast by passersby, Leon could not help but ask somewhat awkwardly... or rather, remind her:

"We have already left the Dead World; do you feel any better?"

"Hmm."

After nodding gently, looking at Leon's slightly red ears, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma could not help but chuckle, then released the arms that were wrapped around Leon's neck.

"I'm already much better; put me down."

"Okay."

After hearing Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's words, Leon, who felt somewhat embarrassed by the surprised looks of the passersby, hurriedly squatted down slightly, put Auntie Auntie Ai Ma on his back down, then took the initiative to ask:

"Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, do you want to go back to the Bureau with me first, or?"

"I'd better go home first."

After gently smoothing the clothes on Leon's back that had been wrinkled by her, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma reached out to straighten his crooked collar while saying softly with gentle eyes:

"Ellie must miss me very much, and I also want to go home and take a look, so I won't accompany you back to the Bureau... By the way, Leon, are your younger siblings free the day after tomorrow?"

Are Anna and the others free?

After hearing Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's words, Leon could not help but be slightly startled, then nodded and said:

"Anna still has a few months before she comes of age, so she hasn't gone to find a job for the time being; she usually just helps manage the apartment, so she should be free. Although William and Melanie are in school, the day after tomorrow is a public holiday for the school, so they are also free."

"Since they are all free, can we be together the day after tomorrow?"

After looking carefully at Leon's eyes and not seeing any reluctance, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma tentatively said softly:

"Ellie... her situation is relatively special, so she has never been to school and cannot come into contact with children of the same age, so she doesn't have any friends. Therefore, if possible, can you bring your younger siblings along the day after tomorrow?"

So that's how it is.

After imagining the scene of a well-behaved girl who was as gentle as Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, unable to go to school due to family reasons, and could only stay in an empty home alone, lonely waiting for her mother to return, Leon's heart could not help but be filled with pity.

"No problem!"

Secretly making up his mind that when he went back, he must give the two troublemakers at home a stern warning and absolutely forbid them from bullying the little girl, Leon patted his chest and guaranteed:

"As long as no special circumstances arise, we will definitely all arrive at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow morning!"

"Thank you, then I'll go first."

After smiling and saying goodbye to Leon, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma waved to hail a steam carriage, opened the door and sat in. After Leon also turned and left, she could not help but look through the carriage window at Leon's back, which, although not broad, appeared exceptionally reliable.

Remembering the time Leon got drunk at the Bureau and she sent him home, he pulled a handful of celery from the balcony and stuffed it into her hands like a bouquet, and then swore that age was not a problem, and that having a daughter was also not a problem...

Could these words be sincere?

I didn't expect to actually have an unexpected harvest!

Not knowing that someone was looking at his back, after sending Auntie Auntie Ai Ma onto the carriage, Leon impatiently opened the badge panel and looked at the new badge that suddenly popped up after leaving the Dead World.

【After being taken to the Dead World by the sin-eating mud crocodile Anpu, stepping onto the Road of No Return as a living person, and being personally sent back by the guardian Dog of Death Angxi, you have successfully activated the hidden Gold Badge "Survivor of Death"】 【Survivor of Death: A living being who was infinitely close to death but successfully survived in the end】

【Wearing effect: As someone who has witnessed the world after death with your own eyes, you will become extremely sensitive to the existence of death and can vaguely perceive death that is about to descend】

【Advancement route: None】

【Hidden trait (no need to wear): As a living person who left the Dead World, your aura has been firmly remembered by the guardian Dog of Death Angxi. Once it smells your scent, it will wake up directly, having slept outside the Gate of the Dead World for years.

Therefore, when there are no sufficiently powerful companions around, you had better not approach the Gate of the Dead World, otherwise, you will definitely be fiercely bitten by it, and it will be one bite from each of the three heads!】

This is simply a death alarm!

Compared to the ability to vaguely predict death, being bitten by a dog when passing through the Gate of the Dead World or something is simply irrelevant!

He didn't even know how to go to the Dead World in the first place, so it was impossible to pass through the Gate of the Dead World alone unless he was killed by someone. And if he was killed by someone, since the person was already gone, then being bitten is just being bitten; things that are dead can be talked about after dying!

After finishing the effects of 【Survivor of Death】, Leon immediately adjusted the badge panel and hung this newly obtained badge on it.

Currently, there are a total of seven slots on his badge panel.

Among them, 【Materialism】 stably occupies one; the same-colored 【Immortal in Wine】 requires a lot of drinking to trigger, so it doesn't need to be hung usually; just temporarily switch it on when invincibility is needed.

Among the remaining Gold Badges, 【Prince of the Traveling Thrush】, which stably makes people bow, occupies one; the 【I Am the Devil】 of the sheep offal series and the 【Agent】 of the Holy Spirit series also need to be hung often; this already occupies four slots.

And in order to be able to take things from the Mirror World in time and communicate with Young Ha, 【Poop Scooper】, although only a Black Iron Badge, also needs to be hung often; adding them up already occupies five slots.

As for 【Pity There Isn't】, which hits people like eggs, 【Performance Master】 for disguising and deceiving, 【Secret Inheritance (Aquarius)】, and 【Shooting Expert】, they can only share the last two slots and be temporarily replaced according to needs.

Now that 【Survivor of Death】, which can predict death, has arrived, it has occupied another long-term slot. This time, the remaining dozen or so badges can only be rotated in the last slot.

A new good badge has been obtained, but the slots have also become tighter.

Through the effect of 【Survivor of Death】, after sensing the shallow aura of death on the passersby around him, Leon could not help but sigh with regret.

It's a pity that the slot judgment of 【Materialism】 does not take effect on the anomalous objects he forged himself, otherwise, as long as he made a few more pieces of junk, he could reach the standard of obtaining 16 anomalous objects and open the eighth badge slot; now he can only make do with it for the time being.

Carrying the regret of not being able to exploit loopholes, Leon identified the street he was on and found that it was not far from the Municipal District, so he didn't spend money to hire a carriage but walked towards the Cleaning Bureau on foot.

He had just returned from the Landing Tower when he found that Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma had an accident, and followed Senior Tom without stopping to mix into the gathering of the Weighing Gold Sect; he didn't know how those rebel members and Senior Peony were doing.

Although middle-aged Joshua didn't lie, the door he opened for them must be safe; if Senior Peony was protecting them, they would likely not be in danger, but it was still hard to be at ease when he hadn't seen them.

Oh right, speaking of Senior Peony...

When thinking of this, Leon could not help but touch his cufflinks, a look of deep guilt appearing on his face.

Sorry Senior, although I didn't lose your "brother," your butt is probably gone, and it fell into the hands of the Goddess of Wealth; I don't even know how to ask for it back...
