Shifting ti a little earlier, back to one hour after the broadcast building had just been bombed.
"How are you guys doing? Can you still hold on?"
Leon glanced at the robber sister being carried on her brother’s back, her little face deathly pale and beaded with sweat. He couldn’t help but pause and frowned, saying:
"Why don’t we stop here? You can give a general direction, and I’ll find my way ahead by myself."
"No... there’s no need..."
Upon hearing Leon’s words, the robber brother, whose complexion wasn’t great either, shook his head, pale-faced but breathing excitedly:
"We want to go! We want to see... see for ourselves... what happens to those people!"
After speaking, the crystal dust within the robber brother’s body kept struggling forward painfully, making the robber sister, who couldn’t walk due to the pain, nod her little head. Weak but full of pleasure, she said:
"I... I feel the sa! As long... as I can take a look... even if... even if I die... it’s worth it!"
"..."
Forget it, suit yourselves...
Leon sighed after glancing at their excited expressions, knowing what they’d been through and didn’t dwell on persuading them further. Instead, he took out the [Plague-Infected Blood Band], preparing, and then asked:
"How is it now? About how far is it to the palace?"
"Very... close now..."
The robber sister raised her arm covered in blood spots upon hearing, then answered tremblingly:
"I am now... in extre pain, so... there must be a particularly large hover crystal right... right ahead, just a bit further... ugh..."
With a mute grunt, several small blood mists abruptly erupted from beneath the raised arm of the robber sister.
These sparkling blood mists, once detached from her body, seed to possess life, surging forward diagonally and swiftly crashing against the stone bricks on the ground, producing a dense patter like raindrops.
At the sa ti, seemingly receiving so strange signal, several foggy blood mists burst from the robber brother’s body the sa way, his legs buckling as he fell with a thud.
"Alright, let’s stop here."
After catching the falling robber siblings, regarding the two who were in too much pain to move, Leon advised helplessly:
"We’re already very close to the palace. I know how to proceed from here. If we go further, the hover crystal dust within you may start bursting out bit by bit, it’s best if I assist you..."
"No... not moving..."
The robber sister was in too much pain to speak, while the physically stronger robber brother weakly shook his head, muttering through a mouthful of blood:
"We... wouldn’t have lasted long anyway, rather than... dying with hover crystal dust inside, it would be better... would be better..."
"Would be better to live another sixty years, staying alive beats dying."
Casually interjecting, Leon surveyed the surrounding environnt, then lead the robber siblings to a roadside building, tossed them inside a window, and entered as well.
Approximately twenty seconds later, from another window three hundred ters ahead, two individuals covered in blood suddenly fell out, appearing as if they’d explosives strapped to them. Countless blood mists burst around them, staining the ground red, falling silently, unmoving.
Well, the blood sprays...
Surveying the grueso scene of excessive bloodshed, Leon, who followed out from the mirror world, couldn’t help but hiss, having to wrap the [Plague-Infected Blood Band] around them, then found a relatively clean spot to sit down.
Imdiately afterward, Leon’s soul erged drenched in dog blood, rushing forward a few steps, grabbed the bewildered-looking robber siblings watching their bodies, and loudly reminded:
"Hold onto a bit, don’t accidentally get taken by the Realm of the Dead."
After instructing, Leon stood by the roadside, holding the souls of the robber siblings, watching as the [Plague-Infected Blood Band] rapidly repaired their damaged bodies, continued instructing:
"Soon I’ll be busy, can’t watch over you. After you are revived, I’ll toss you back into the mirror.
Inside the mirror, there’s a little husky with a tuft of golden hair on its head, follow behind it on the way back to the base, wait there for , and rember to step outside for air every three to fifty seconds returning, careful not to suffocate inside...
Did you hear ? If you heard, say sothing!"
"We..."
Looking up at the bloodied "Leon", the robber sister’s soul first reacted, joyfully asking:
"Are we..."
"You died, but your souls haven’t entered the Realm of the Dead, so you’re not considered dead, you can still return to life... can’t let you lead all this way for nothing, consider this your paynt."
Glancing at her body that was almost fully repaired, Leon slightly reclined, then relying on the power of the Three-Headed Canine Deity, tried dispersing the spreading death within her soul, followed by forcibly pressing the robber sister’s soul back into her body.
"Hurry! Lie down!"
After shoving the robber sister’s soul back into the body, Leon breathed heavily a couple of tis, then addressed the bewildered robber brother:
"Did you rember what I said earlier? When things are settled here, if I’m still alive, I’ll find you, take you from the Crolock Kingdom.
If I’m unlucky and get killed, there’s two months’ worth of provisions left for you at the base, you and your sister should hide well, if nothing unexpected occurs, in about two months..."
"Ah!!!"
Before Leon could finish, the robber brother suddenly shivered, then exclaid in panic:
"I... am I dead?"
"..."
You indeed died, stupidly!
Looking at the robber brother, whose reaction speed was less "slow" and more "nearly new second-hand brain unused", Leon sighed, gave up further reminders, and switched to giving a nudge behind his knees, pushing his soul back into his body.
"If confused, ask your sister, her mind works better than yours!"
"Zzz..."
Just as Leon pressed the bewildered robber brother’s soul back, worried about its tightness with the body, he pressed firmly twice, when a long-overdue sharp buzz suddenly resounded.
