[Sword Gun], the skill is as its name suggests.

For Leo, there is nothing difficult about improving the [Finger Gun] into a [Sword Gun], it is nothing more than firing the sword at the speed of a bullet, causing more powerful damage than the [Finger Gun].

In addition, it is okay to hold it in the hand and stab it directly, but this trick is generally not used.

The Sword Gun is suitable for dealing with targets with cover and long distances, and its piercing power is beyond ordinary swordsmanship. The only downside is ...... This move will also cause damage to the sword body, after all, the force is relative.

Therefore, the ordinary blade will shatter once fired by Leo.

Leo approached the recently dead corpse and pulled Kiyoaki out of its chest.

But...... If it is a famous knife, it does not have the above disadvantages.

Just like the current [Qinghuang], except that the blade is covered with a layer of dust, there is no broken place. The workmanship of the famous sword is much more complex than that of ordinary standard swords, and the hardness of the blade far exceeds that of those bargains, so it can withstand Leo's current strength.

As for the future...... I'll talk about that later.

After wiping the blade with the dead man's clothes, and after a moment it was as clean as ever, Leo put [Qinghuang] into the scabbard and prepared to talk to the little girl hiding in the basement.

……

Two minutes later, Leo stopped in front of a featureless house, and in order to make a good impression on the little girl, the young man put a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, 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 almost a month since the news of the ghost came out of Tango.

Just like the two bounty hunters I met today, in this month, with the purpose of solving problems and taking people's money, again and again, wave after wave of guys who came to explore the truth and source of the matter, there must be a lot of guys.

Even if Perona's [Negative Ghost] can be called inexplicable, she will fall into fatigue, and after overwork, she will be afraid.

Looks like this kid is having a hard time.

No longer hesitated, Leo thought to himself...... If this girl is having a bad time, then let her live a better life by herself.

"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.

As the obstacles decreased, the perception of seeing and hearing the domineering color became clearer, and he had already seen the true appearance of the little girl.

"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? ”

"Go and kill the man on the boat."

Perona said without hesitation.

"That's not going to work!"

Leo refused: "Dick is also my partner, how can he kill him 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...... I was hungry for almost ten days in the basement of the study, which was completely enclosed on all sides! 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.
