Chapter 340 Invitation and Badge
Chapter 340 Invitation and Badge
"Senior Emma?"
Looking at the busy streets in front of him and the curious looks from passers-by, Leon couldn't help but ask awkwardly... or remind:
"We're out of the dead now. Are you feeling better?"
"Ah."
After nodding slightly, Emma couldn't help but chuckled at Leon's slightly red ears, and then loosened her arms around Leon's neck.
"I'm much better now, please put me down."
"Ok."
After hearing Emma's words, Leon, who was a little embarrassed by the surprised eyes of passers-by, quickly squatted down slightly, put Emma down on his back, and then took the initiative to ask:
"Senior Emma, do you want to go back to the bureau with me first?"
"I'd better go home first."
After gently stroking the wrinkled clothes on Leon's back, Emma reached out to help him straighten his crooked collar, and said softly with a gentle look in her eyes:
"Ellie must miss me a lot. I also want to go home and see you, so I won't accompany you back to the bureau...By the way, Leon, are your brothers and sisters free the day after tomorrow?"
Are Anna and the others free?
After hearing Emma's words, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled, then nodded:
"Anna will not be an adult for another few months, and she has not yet found a job. She usually just helps take care of the apartment, so she should be free. Although William and Melanie are in school, the day after tomorrow is a public holiday, so they are also free."
"Since they are both free, can we go together the day after tomorrow?"
After carefully looking into Leon’s eyes and not seeing any reluctance, Emma tentatively whispered:
"Ellie... your situation is rather special, so you haven't been to school, and you don't have any contact with children of your age, so you don't have many friends. So if possible, can you bring your brother and sister with you the day after tomorrow?"
It turned out to be the case.
After imagining a scene in which a gentle and well-behaved girl like Emma could not go to school due to family reasons and had to stay alone in an empty house, waiting for her mother to come back, Leon couldn't help but feel pity for her.
"no problem!"
After secretly making up his mind to go back and warn the two troublemakers at home not to bully the little girl, Leon patted his chest and promised:
"As long as there are no special circumstances, we will definitely be there at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow morning!"
"Thank you. I'll be leaving now."
After saying goodbye to Leon with a smile, Emma waved to stop a steam carriage, opened the door and got in. After Leon turned and left, she couldn't help but look through the carriage window at Leon's back, which was not broad but seemed particularly reliable.
I remember the time when Leon got drunk in the police station and I sent him home. He plucked a bunch of celery from the balcony and stuffed it into his hands like a bouquet of flowers. Then he swore that age was not a problem and that having a daughter was not a problem either...
Could these words be sincere?
……
I didn’t expect to have such an unexpected gain!
Not knowing that someone was watching his back, after sending Emma to the carriage, Leon couldn't wait to open the badge panel and look at the new badge that suddenly popped up after leaving the dead world.
[You were taken to the world of the dead by the sin-eating mud crocodile Anpu, and embarked on a road of no return as a living person. After being sent back by Angusi, the dog guarding death, you were able to return to the world of the living. You successfully activated the hidden golden badge "Survivor"] [Survivor: A living being who was infinitely close to death, but finally survived successfully]
[Effect of wearing: As someone who has witnessed the afterlife, you will become extremely sensitive to the existence of death and can vaguely sense the impending death]
[Advanced route: None]
[Hidden feature (no need to wear): As a living person who left the world of the dead, your breath has been firmly remembered by Angusi, the dog guarding death. Once it smells your scent, it will wake up directly from its long-term sleep outside the gate of the world of the dead.
Therefore, if you don't have a strong enough companion by your side, you'd better not get close to the Gate of the Dead Realm, otherwise you will definitely be bitten hard by it, and one bite from each of its three heads! 】
This is a death alarm!
Compared to the ability to vaguely foresee death, being bitten by a dog when passing through the gate to the dead world is nothing!
I didn't know how to get to the world of the dead, and it was impossible for me to pass through the gate of the world of the dead alone, unless I was killed by someone. If I was killed by someone, since I was already dead, I would just be bitten. I could deal with death after I die!
After seeing the effect of [Survivor], Leon immediately adjusted the badge panel and hung up the newly acquired badge.
There are currently seven slots on my badge panel.
Among them, [Materialism] occupies one stably, and [Drunken Immortal] of the same different color requires a lot of drinking to trigger. You don't need to hang it up at ordinary times. You can just temporarily change it when you need to be invincible.
Among the remaining gold badges, one is the [Prince of the Robin] which is so stable that people bow down to it, and the [I am the Devil] from the mutton series and the [Agent] from the Holy Spirit series should also be kept on, which makes four slots.
In order to be able to retrieve things from the mirror world in time, the [Poop Scooper] who helps communicate with Youha, although it is only a black iron badge, must be kept on at all times, and it takes up a total of five slots.
As for the [Unfortunately Not There] who can beat people like beating eggs, the [Performance Master] who disguises and deceives people, the [Inheritor of Secret Arts (Aquarius)], and the [Shooting Master], they can only share the last two slots and be replaced temporarily according to demand.
Now that the [Survivor] who can predict death has arrived, it has taken up another long-term slot. This time, the remaining dozen or so badges can only be rotated in the last slot.
I got a nice new badge, but the slots became tighter.
After sensing the faint aura of death from the passers-by around him through the effect of [Survivor], Leon couldn't help but sigh with regret.
It's a pity that the slot judgment of [Materialism] is not effective for the abnormal objects forged by myself. Otherwise, I only need to make a few more pieces of garbage to reach the standard of obtaining 16 abnormal objects and open the eighth badge slot. Now I can only make do with what I have.
With regret that he couldn't take advantage of the loophole, Lyon identified the street he was on and found that it was not far from the municipal district. He did not spend money to hire a carriage, but walked towards the direction of the Cleaning Bureau.
I had just returned from the boarding tower when I found out that something had happened to Senior Emma. I followed Senior Tom and immediately sneaked into the gathering of the Scale Gold Cult. I didn't know what had happened to those rebel members and Senior Pioni.
Although middle-aged Joshua did not lie and the door he opened for them must be safe, and with Senior Pioni protecting them, they would most likely not be in danger, but it was still hard to feel at ease when they didn't see anyone.
Oh, by the way, speaking of Senior Pioni...
When he thought of this, Leon couldn't help but touch his cufflinks, with a look of deep guilt on his face.
I'm sorry, senior. Although I didn't lose your "brother", I guess your butt is gone, and it has fallen into the hands of the goddess of wealth. You don't even know how to ask for it...
