Chapter 41: Perona and ...... hunger
Leo chases the ghost around the town.
Ghosts have no volume and naturally no weight, so they are extremely fast...... If it was just an ordinary person, it would have been lost a long time ago, not to mention that the ghost could still pass through the wall.
But what Leo is best at is speed, even if he searches the entire West Sea, I'm afraid he won't be able to find an existence faster than him...... Including the ghost in front of his eyes.
Leo then hung tightly behind the ghost, and at the same time unleashed his domineering aura to bio-scan all the buildings that swept by. Two minutes later, after scanning nearly half of the terrain of Tango Town, Leo finally stopped in front of a fairly ordinary house, with a standard smile on his lips, straightened his simple clothes, raised his right hand and began to knock on the door.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
"Hey, can I go in? Sister? ”
When we met for the first time, it was really not good to call people by their names directly, plus Leo still retained the oral fetish of his previous life, and his attitude was a little casual, and he didn't know how old Perona was, so he called him "girl" directly.
The voice fell, no one answered, and the atmosphere fell silent...... Leo narrowed his eyes, the sea breeze blowing from the west coast ripped the corners of his clothes and hair, and the shredded paper and sand on the desolate streets fluttered and flew, causing a subtle distraction from his vision.
Leo pinched his waist with his right hand, and nodded his forehead helplessly with the index finger of his left hand, and he could "hear" the "color" of a certain negative emotion in the field where he saw and heard the domineering...... So I judged that the little girl was really scared.
Afraid of what?
Fear of predators like Leo appearing.
Counting the time, it has been nearly a month since the news of the ghost came out of Tango Island. In this month, are there really no bounty hunters who are not afraid of ghosts?
The answer is yes.
And there are no less. With the purpose of solving problems and taking people's money, these bounty hunters come again and again, wave after wave to find the truth and source of the matter, even if Perona's [negative ghost] can be called inexplicable, it must be very tired, and after overwork, it is fearful.
It seems that this kid is having a hard time.
No longer hesitate, Leo is not simply plotting [Ghost Fruit]...... He was going to woo Perona. And if this child is not doing well, then it is up to you to make her better.
"Squeak~"
Reaching out to push open the slightly damaged wooden door, Leo stepped into the room.
The first thing that catches your eye is darkness. After the Darkness...... Leo saw the furnishings in the house, they were all ordinary furniture, but all the valuable things had been taken away, and there was no food left. Looking up, all the windows, large and small, are sealed from the inside, and only a small ray of light can penetrate through the window.
The lights in the hall have long been destroyed, which is the biggest cause of the darkness.
Leo looked back at the table facing the door.
There were two plates on the dining table, but there was nothing in them......
Three benches are placed on the edge of the dining table.
A bench is empty.
On the other bench sat a teddy bear.
On the innermost bench sat a silent little girl.
The smile on Leo's face was completely annihilated, from now on, unless necessary...... He will no longer smile, which is a blasphemy against the miserable lives of others.
The little girl stared at Leo like a sculpture with a blank face.
She was Perona, who was only eight years old.
It's the same as I remember.
Perona has a pair of ...... Even in the dark, he has bright eyes, his facial features and skin are as delicate as porcelain dolls, his body is so petite that he sits on a bench, but his legs are completely out of reach the ground, and he wears a clean red and black gothic dress, a pleated skirt of purple and black that wraps his whole body tightly, and a pink double ponytail under a high top hat.
"Who are you? What are you here to do? ”
The little girl Perona asked questions one after another, speaking in a tone without a trace of fireworks, cold and gentle at the same time...... It makes people feel like a gust of autumn wind, slightly cold and bleak.
"You're not real."
Leo had a look of pity on his face.
He had already seen the real appearance of the little girl, in his perception of the domineering color that he had seen and heard.
"How do you know?"
Perona still has that calm face, not at all as lively and cheerful as she saw in the animation in her previous life.
Oh, yes...... Everyone has a process of change, everyone's personality cannot be the same, as you grow, some pain will always gradually forget, or be deliberately forgotten.
"Because I can see the truth."
Leo replied.
Seeing and hearing domineering can see the truth, this is not a lie.
"Oh...... So what do you come to do? Catch me? Still is...... Kill me? ”
As the last three words were said lightly, three transparent shadows emerged from the little girl's body, and as long as Leo answered carelessly, a war would immediately start.
Leo thought for a moment, thinking about how to quickly remove the other party's hostility, and after three seconds, Leo directly unloaded all his weapons, two knives, a gun, a dagger, and a stack of blades...... And threw the weapon far out of the door, even directly through the door and window, and threw it into the opposite room, and then raised his two arms and said.
"I'm not hostile, and the purpose of this time is simple...... How so? Although it is a little inexplicable and may be a bit cheap, it ...... I swear to the sun, I am not here to capture you, not to kill you, it has nothing to do with any profit-seeking purpose, but to ...... Please be my partner. ”
"Guy...... Partner? ”
Perona was stunned, at first just opening her mouth, apparently not knowing how to answer, and then muttering the word "partner" to find out what it meant.
Leo's eyebrows trembled, and he thought about it for a moment...... I think there's nothing wrong with the word "partner".,Don't you like to say that in animation? Of course, this is not a lie to her, but Leo feels a little ashamed to say these two words......
"Do you think I'm going to trust any partner now?"
To Leo's surprise, Perona instead threw out a difficult question that Leo couldn't answer.
"Uh...... Well, so how do I prove it? ”
"You go and kill a few people outside."
Perona said without hesitation.
"That's not going to work!"
Leo refused: "They are the key to leaving the island, how can they be killed casually?" ”
Perona lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then made another request.
"That'...... If you slash at yourself, I will believe you. ”
"Damn, are you so ruthless?"
Leo felt his scalp tingle and wondered what had happened to this kid that he didn't trust anyone at all?
And if Leo guessed correctly, Perona's real body is on the right side...... Inside the hut, which was completely enclosed on all sides, I was hungry for almost ten days! In the domineering perception of seeing and hearing, he could only "listen" to a skinny child, lying dead on the bed.
If you don't give her anything to eat......
It won't be long before Perona dies.
