Chapter 9 Trough and Fire

Wait three days... will it be too late?

Unexpectedly, the friendly bandage woman would refuse to help. Worried about the situation at the hospital, Leon gritted his teeth, lowered his head and tried to plead again:

"If you are willing to help, I can..."

"Sorry, it's not a matter of how much it costs."

After interrupting Leon, the bandaged woman shook her head and said with regret:

"The reason why I can stay in the Cleanup Bureau safely for six years is that I never take action when I am not sure.

Although I sympathize with your experience, I have reasons not to take risks easily. I hope you can understand my decision."

"..."

Understand, of course I understand. After all, what else can I do if I don't understand? Drag you over by force?

After hearing the other party's irrefutable refusal, Leon couldn't help but loosen his palm helplessly.

Although it sounds a bit indifferent, what the other party said is actually right. She has no obligation to take risks for her own affairs, but...what about Anna?

Although I can still choose to go back to the hospital and take Anna out in advance before the "out-of-control infected person" makes a big noise.

But if what the nurse said is true, then if I stop taking the medicine and take Anna away now, she will basically have to lie in bed for the rest of her life, and I'm afraid she can't even do housework like washing and cooking.

Anna has been very painful because of her lung disease dragging down the family over the years. According to her seemingly gentle and well-behaved, but actually stubborn and abnormal personality, if she is found to have become a complete "drag", I'm afraid...

'Boy, you can't default on your debt! '

Just as Leon repeatedly weighed between the two options and hesitated whether to take Anna out, the black goat in his arms twisted his neck uncomfortably and reminded him with some worry:

'We agreed before that if we help you find someone, you will buy cigarettes for us! Now we have found the person for you. If she doesn't want to help, that's her business. You owe us a cigarette and you can't lose a single cigarette! '

"..."

By the way, there is this guy!

As if he had caught a glimpse of a life-saving straw floating in front of him, Leon's eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed the goat's head and said anxiously:

"What about you? Can you solve this problem? If you can, as long as I am still working in the Cleanup Bureau, I will buy you a pack of 'Gorter' every week!"

Tsk... You are doing this to me again... Did I give you face?

After hearing the conditions proposed by Leon, the black goat's face could not help but show a hint of anger.

Boy! You don't really think that I will help you find someone for the sake of cigarettes, right? I am a great demon, how could I be short of your cheap cigarettes that only cost three silver wheels?

Let me tell you! If it weren't for that red-haired woman's appreciation of you, let alone a pack of rotten cigarettes, even if you kneel down now and beg me to take your soul, I wouldn't care about it, you know?

'At least three packs! '

"Deal!"

Fuck! It's less!

After curling his lips in annoyance, the black goat cursed himself for being useless, and then he leaned hard into Leon's arms with a sigh.

Alas... who made me like this?

And now I am in such a sheep-headed and sheep-brained state that I don't even have the qualifications to rob. If I am not careful, not only will I not be able to rob money, but I will also be stewed by others, leaving me with no money to buy a pack of cigarettes.

Damn it! I feel upset when I think of this! Although that red-haired woman is not poor, she drinks all her weekly salary with horse urine as soon as it is paid. She is not willing to spend even half a copper wheel on me!

After I smoke a few more puffs of cigarettes and accumulate enough strength to turn over, I must smash all the taverns in the capital! Even the perfume factory containing alcohol! I will make sure that you, a stinky woman, will not have anything to drink!

While the black goat secretly made a ruthless move in his heart, he gathered up the little remaining strength and put a demon mark on Leon's chest, giving him the right to "use" himself.

At the same time, a familiar noise sounded in Leon's ears again.

"Zizi"

[First time to obtain a usable abnormal object, the hidden feature of the heterochromatic badge "Materialistic Soul (Red)" is activated]

[Hidden feature: Badge slot +1, current number of slots: 4, total number of abnormal objects required to open the next slot: 2]

Accompanied by the mechanized prompt sound, the virtual panel with only three slots rolled, and the fourth slot appeared quietly. A cyan badge with a sheep's head and a sheep's brain had been embedded in it in advance.

[You have obtained the right to use the abnormal object "Devil's Horn". You have successfully activated the bronze badge "Devil's Follower"]

[Devil's Follower (Bronze): After completing a dirty and despicable deal and agreeing to perform an extremely evil sacrifice every week in the future, you have successfully gained the favor of a high-level demon]

[Your immersion value has increased]

[Current infection value: 0.1]

…

‘Hiss…you kid…actually we are quite compatible! ’

Lying in Lyon’s slightly uncomfortable embrace, feeling the harmonious feeling of “like a fish in water”, the black goat couldn’t help but look up and complained with surprise:

‘In the previous situation, you were able to control yourself and didn’t give the fat man from the Road Administration a knife. I thought you were a person with strong moral values ​​and thought we couldn’t get along.

But looking at our compatibility, you kid is obviously not a good person! Although you are not a big villain, you must have no good intentions. You usually cheat and deceive, right? ’

“…”

The high compatibility with you is the effect of the badge. I have been a law-abiding citizen for two lifetimes, okay?

Although his always excellent character has been unreasonably accused, Lyon’s brain is still normal, and naturally he will not confess his cheat to a demon.

After holding the chattering sheep head and feeling it for a while, Leon was extremely surprised to find that he seemed to have temporarily gained the ability to spy on the soul.

With the sheep head in his hand as the center, thousands of weak and swaying "flames" suddenly lit up within a radius of about two kilometers.

Hatred, betrayal, deception, jealousy, rage... countless cold and dark evil thoughts that burn people's souls like flames, like the blue phosphorescent fire floating in the cemetery late at night, appeared in front of Leon's eyes.

As long as he focused his attention on it, he could pass through the heavy barriers of cement bricks and directly peek into the burning malice contained in those "flames".

Leon even had a wonderful premonition that as long as he stretched out his "hand" and gently picked it up, he could make these cold poisonous fires surge instantly, burning all the host's reason, and smoke those souls that were originally only light gray, ten times darker than coke!
