"Click! Click! Click!"
Looking at the strong old man who was blocking the hall on the first floor of the happy apartment and was holding a big scissors to him, Leon couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with a headache.
It's over, after the Demon Badge was promoted to gold, the "Demon Flavor" in his soul seemed to be too strong, and before the Holy Spirit Badge chased to the gold level, it was estimated that he could really only sleep in the office.
Or......
After glancing at the apologetic aunt in the hall, Leon asked tentatively:
"That...... Aunt Mary, do you mind if I use some means to tie up your husband for a while? It's been more than a week since I last went home, and I really want to go back and see ......."
"Tie it up, bundle it!"
After twisting the old man's waist several times, but failing to get him out of the way, the administrator's aunt had to shake her snow-white curly hair, and said with a helpless expression:
"Auntie knows that you are a good person, and if you have a problem with your soul, it should be the work of the Cleanup Bureau, and there is no reason to stop you from going home, but my old man really can't make sense...... Well, so be it, as long as you don't let him get hurt, you can tie him up all night."
"No, no, it won't take so long, just a little while."
Leon still respects these two old men who have been doing good deeds before and after death, and quickly rejected her proposal when he heard this, and then slowly activated the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant, forcibly pressed the strong old man in place, and then rushed up the stairs without looking back.
"Click!"
Seeing that the "evil demon cub" actually went upstairs, the strong old man couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his strong latissimus dorsi suddenly rose, and he actually directly pushed the restraint of the Holy Spirit Pendant a little bit, and wanted to chase after him with a big pair of scissors.
However, as soon as he took two steps, he was entangled in clumps of wool and tied to the side of the stairs, and the soft flesh around his waist was pinched even more.
"You stubborn old man! When you are alive, you are stubborn, and when you are dead, you are more stubborn than when you are alive...... Stick your neck out a little, and I'll measure it!"
After twisting two handfuls on the waist of the strong old man, looking at her husband who was still carrying big scissors and wanted to rush up, the administrator couldn't help but shake her head helplessly, and then moved a small bench to sit in the corridor, and compared the old man's neck with a hair scarf.
After waiting on the third floor for a while, but not seeing the strong old man catch up, Leon suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ran towards the sixth floor.
"Brother?"
It was still familiar to open the door in advance, and at the moment when Leon ascended to the sixth floor, the door of the adjacent staircase suddenly opened, and a warm orange light spilled out, illuminating the somewhat dim corridor and shining on Leon's body.
Although the footsteps had already been heard, looking at Leon, who was still carrying a lot of dust and rushed home in the dust, Anna, who looked a little haggard, still couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, and there was a sense of relief in her eyes.
It's just that before Leon could speak, the relief in her eyes turned into deep worry and grievance.
After biting her lower lip hard, the sick girl turned her head slightly sideways, and said softly with a slight resentment:
"Done with work?"
"Uh...... Not ...... yet."
Capturing a little complaint in his sister's eyes, Leon couldn't help but stop and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Anna, there's been a lot of going on in the bureau lately, I'm just taking the time to come back and see you, I'll have to leave in a while......
"Okay......
After listening to Leon's words, although she was still a little angry at his behavior of disappearing without saying a word for seven or eight days, but looking at his tired appearance, the sick girl couldn't help biting her lip again, and couldn't help but ask with some distress:
"Remember to pay attention to your body, don't carry everything on your body, if you are too tired, you can ask for more leave, and you can get less salary.
Now the life at home is much better, and my body is much stronger than before, if we can both work, we can afford to support Melanie and them with less income, and you don't have to work so hard......
「
Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Looking at his sister in front of him with a distressed face, Leon subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, only to feel a slight relief all over his body, and gained a certain long-lost lightness and ease.
Whether it was the fierce ferocity that had just killed the priest, or the smell of blood that had been lingering in Ryan's heart after the bloody night, when he returned to this warm little home and was shone by the warm light, he was completely cleansed.
At this moment, he is no longer a ruthless cleaner who kills decisively in the clean-up bureau, nor is he a stranger who suppresses anger and unwillingness, and is incompatible with this world, but an ordinary person who longs to rest quietly in the harbor after a busy day's work.
"Anna, I'm glad you're still ......."
After sighing from the bottom of his heart, Leon, who had regained a little "humanity", couldn't help but take two steps forward, gave his sister a big hug, and then buried his head on Anna's still somewhat thin shoulders, and took a deep breath almost greedily.
Although it has only been a month since I joined the Cleanup Bureau, if I look back, I will find that my current self and my past self are almost two people, at least a month ago, I would never have heard the three words "Weighing Gold Sect" and directly pinched other people's heads.
Although I can comfort myself that this is a work need, in fact, I am indeed moving out of the normal range and towards the "inhuman" world, and the speed is constantly accelerating.
And although Anna's shoulders are thin, just as she is supporting this family from falling, the existence of her and the two little ones is also supporting her perception as a "human".
If it weren't for them as "anchors", although it was unlikely that he would become a big woman to do great evil, I am afraid that he would also be constantly impregnated by anomalous things, and become those cleaners in the mouth of the black goat, who have almost nothing to do with humans except for their appearance as humans......
"Oops! You...... Don't ......."
Suddenly being hugged hard by Leon, and then burying her face around her neck and sniffing, Anna couldn't help but be startled, blushing and instinctively trying to push him away.
But after being hugged for a few seconds, it seemed that she vaguely felt something from the too deep strength of this hug, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then gave up struggling, ignoring the dust stained on Leon's body, and wrapped her backhand around his waist, making the two hug a little closer.
After leaning her chin on Leon's shoulder, the sick girl tilted her head slightly, and gently pressed her cheek against his chin with some embarrassment, and then endured the hot and itchy breath between her neck, and while reaching out to caress Leon's back, her eyes whispered softly:
"Brother...... Whenever you feel tired, come home, I'll always be waiting for you."
