Chapter 168 Phoebe and Grandma
Chapter 168 Phoebe and Grandma
"Leon? How are you?"
Not knowing that her now somewhat mentally retarded brother would actually evolve into the Ultimate Newborn in a few decades, after crawling out of the ground as soft as a sponge, Veronica immediately hugged Leon's waist and dragged him out with a pale face.
"It's okay... I'm fine..."
After spitting out the floor tiles in his mouth that were as soft as cheesecake, Leon, who was almost hollowed out, hastily disabled the reality-modifying ability of the Holy Spirit Pendant, and then took out the [Infected Blood Belt] and tried to put it on his injured left shoulder.
"Do you want to put on this bandage?"
After realizing Leon's intention, Veronica immediately took the bandage and neatly wrapped it around Leon's left shoulder. Then, as Leon reminded her, she grabbed his right hand and pressed it on the blood-stained bandage.
"squeak……"
Along with the "health" released by the bandage, a teeth-grinding sound of bones rubbing against each other was heard, and Leon's broken left clavicle was slowly restored, and the shoulder blade that was shattered by something was also pieced together again.
Soon, a small metal ball, smaller than a soybean and seemingly flattened by a bone, was squeezed out of Leon's shoulder by his gradually repositioned bones and muscles.
Is this... the lead bullet from the slingshot that children play with?
After seeing clearly what fell out, Leon's brows couldn't help but frown instantly, and his eyes revealed a trace of genuine surprise.
After the Demon Series Badge was upgraded to the gold level, the range of the soul's vision was almost increased to three kilometers, but just now he did not notice any murderous intent spreading towards him, proving that the location where the attacker launched the attack should be outside his maximum field of vision.
Even if he was "fixed" in the air and had good aim, the attacker was able to shatter his shoulder blade with a small, soft lead bullet from a distance of at least three kilometers. His "shooting skills" had far exceeded the scope of humans and could only be some kind of abnormal ability.
But...giving up on using the Holy Spirit Pendant and flying up for long-range sniping were all temporary decisions. How did the other party predict this?
Could it be... the law of cause and effect? Future vision?
But with such an amazing ability, instead of using it to save the world or rule the world, he would use it to shoot himself like a lead bullet? Isn't this crazy?
Just when Leon was puzzled, a somewhat hurried sound of footsteps sounded from a distance.
Lyon looked in the direction of the sound and found a maid from the Ryan family quietly walking around the nearby building and moving towards the place where he fell.
No...you fell from such a high place, but you didn't die?
Controlling the maid to stick her head out of the small window in the kitchen, she looked vigilantly at the place where the "devil" fell. After finding that Leon was unharmed, with only a bandage on his shoulder, a short man with an injured thigh could not help but hammered the floor with gritted teeth.
How about controlling the guards and getting a gun? And then... um...
Looking at the demon who was staring at "himself" with the corners of his mouth gradually curling up, the maid and the short man who controlled the maid couldn't help but shudder at the same time, and then lay down on the spot without hesitation.
At the same time, a figure suddenly jumped down from the second floor of another building a few dozen meters away, and hurriedly ran towards the warehouse where the short man was. After kicking the door open, he carried his "out-of-body" body inside and ran away.
Be content in life!
I am extremely lucky to be able to save my life from such a devil. If I am still greedy and want to assassinate him, I am afraid I will lose even this last chance to escape!
……
Strange...is there no ambush?
Looking at the short man fleeing in panic in his soul vision, Leon, who was touching the director's hair, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, feeling that it was difficult to understand the enemy's motives.
After waiting vigilantly for a while, he found that the assassination was really over and no other rebels appeared. While Lyon was relieved, he could not help but be puzzled.
Those rebels spent so much effort, but in the end they only shot themselves in the foot, and there was no follow-up? What on earth were they trying to achieve?
"Leon, the bandage seems to have stopped."
Just then, a cautious reminder sounded.
Following Princess Veronica's reminder, after looking at the bandage on his shoulder, Leon discovered that the "health" stored in it had been used up, but the injury on his shoulder had not fully recovered.
Well... there isn't much health left in the infected blood belt. Today I first treated the sloppy old man, then the princess's fainting, and just now I treated my shoulder that was shattered by a bullet. It's normal for the "health" inside to be used up, and I just need to replenish some.
"Follow me, don't be too far away from me."
After instructing the princess, Leon used his soul vision to check the surroundings and found that the building not far away was a kitchen. There seemed to be a few living chickens and ducks in it. He stood up and walked over with the princess, preparing to replenish the health consumed by the [Infected Blood Belt].
"quack!"
"Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!" Leon pushed the door open and was about to grab one of the tied chickens and ducks to bandage his own wounds, but he saw a pair of curious big eyes among the fluttering chickens and ducks.
"Big brother, who are you?"
"We are here to pick up the chickens and ducks."
After carefully checking the little girl's soul and confirming that it was not a disguised rebel, Leon, who had just caught a fat chicken, hesitated for a moment. Considering that the death of a creature entangled by the [Infected Blood Belt] was somewhat horrific, he did not take action directly, but stretched out his other hand and tried to cover the little girl's eyes first.
"hiss……"
Just as Leon raised his left hand, he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his shoulder blade, which had not yet fully recovered. He gasped in pain and found that he seemed unable to do such a thing. He had no choice but 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 Veronica."
Nodding her head and agreeing to Leon's request, she picked up the dirty little girl without any disdain and took her out of the kitchen. The princess, who seemed to like children very much, touched the little girl's forehead affectionately and coaxed her with a smile:
"You are so good, come on, tell your sister what your name is?"
"me?"
After blinking her crystal-clear eyes, the little girl stretched out her hands, which were covered with a lot of carbon dust, and patted the princess's white chest vigorously. Then she answered seriously:
"Phoebe, Grandma, my name is Phoebe!"
"..."
After hearing the little girl address her, the princess, who was already 28 years old and considered an older young woman, could not help but become frosty. She stretched out her hand and pinched her little face, pretending to be angry and corrected:
"Sister! It's my sister!"
"grandmother!"
As the little girl spoke, she reached out and patted her chest again.
"Don't call me grandma! If you call me sister, I'll give you candy. If you call me grandma again, I'll spank you!"
"Then...give me the candy first."
"sugar……"
After looking at her own dress without any pockets, the princess rolled her eyes and could only coax with empty words:
"Of course there is candy, but I don't have any money on me right now. I'll buy it for you when I have money!"
"grandmother!"
"Snapped!"
This little brat!
Looking at the little girl who slapped herself and rubbed her chest until it was black for calling her grandma, Princess Veronica smiled helplessly and gave up the idea of correcting her.
With a crowing sound like a chicken being slaughtered, Leon in the kitchen finished what he had to do and wrapped the bandage around his shoulder again.
"Excuse me, this is money for the chicken."
Nodding to the beautiful woman holding a child at the door and stuffing two silver wheels into her hands, Leon managed to resist the urge to glance at her chest. He straddled the witch's broom and flew towards the Cleanup Bureau.
"???"
Why should you give me money?
After standing there in a daze for a while, Princess Veronica lowered her head in confusion and looked at the two silver wheels that Leon stuffed into her hands.
What does this mean? Breakup fee?
"Snapped!"
"Grandma! I'm rich!"
