Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 99: Ruthless! Two in One

no one?

After unexpectedly failing to catch the target, Leon, who had been a "thief", couldn't help but frown. He reached out and pressed on the black goat's forehead, preparing to use his soul vision to find the target's location.

However, the black goat in the shopping bag tilted its head slightly, avoiding his finger, and then whispered a reminder:

"Don't use my abilities yet, don't even open your soul vision! The smell of hearts is everywhere here. Just like I can find traces of it, he can definitely find mine too!"

After sniffing like a dog, the black goat muttered with both joy and worry:
"This smell is really strong. It seems my heart is much better than mine... Tsk..."

Hearing the black goat mumbling to himself, Leon, who was about to leave to find his next target, couldn't help but glance at it.

Good guy, you are not afraid that your brothers live a hard life, you are just afraid that your brothers drive a Land Rover, right?

"Oh, I think I forgot to ask you something..."

After pulling his hand out of the shopping bag, Leon asked curiously:

"Does your heart have its own wisdom?"

"Of course, I am the great devil who is closest to the true God!"

The black goat snorted and said:

"Although I'm not as good as a true god who can preserve wisdom in a piece of flesh, I'm not far off. For an organ like the heart that holds some power, it's normal for it to have consciousness after being separated from the body!"

Okay, if you say it's normal, then it's normal.

Not interested in discussing the physiological hygiene of demons with the black goat, Leon directly asked the question that concerned him most:
"Since both of you have two wills, after I get your sheep...heart, will it be you or it that takes the lead? Or will you two become one?"

"This one……"

After hearing Leon's question, Black Goat was startled for a moment, then hesitantly said:

"It should be... us, right?"

"???"

Seeing that it really didn't have much confidence, Leon couldn't help but complain:
"When I asked you about the power of the heart before, you couldn't tell me for sure. You only knew that it was related to powers like arrogance and domination. Now I ask you who will be in charge after you get the heart. Why don't you have a definite answer? Aren't you a well-informed demon? Why don't you even understand your own body?"

"I am indeed a great demon, but this is the first time I have been torn into pieces like this! How can I understand something I have never experienced?

As for the ability... Although our heart grows in our body, we have never taken it out to see it, so what's so strange about not knowing what it can do? The blood vessels in your body are also yours, but have you cut them open and seen them with your own eyes? Do you know how long they are exactly?"

After speaking stubbornly out of habit, the Black Goat, feeling a little embarrassed, smacked his lips and felt that he really needed to think about who would make the decision.

Not to mention anything else, according to its original position in the body, the rage and fighting controlled by the horn can only be ranked third in strength, while the arrogance and ambition controlled by the heart are undoubtedly ranked first in strength.

If I rush to get the heart back, but fail to reunite it and lose control, and let it ride on my head, then I will be like a stranger...

"Leon, tell me honestly, are we treating you well?"

After pondering for a while, the Black Goat sensed a sense of crisis and took the initiative to seek support:

"Although I have my own selfish motives and always want to encourage you to go all out, but haven't I ever caused you any trouble? I always do whatever you say.
If you don't let me speak, I won't say anything. If you are in danger, I will remind you. I don't want anything except to smoke your cigarette. I won't get angry even if you step on my head..."

The more he spoke, the more he felt that he was being treated as a big devil. The black goat decisively stopped playing the victim and said confidently:
"Leon, think about it carefully. If I didn't defeat it in the end and lost the initiative, would the new me still cooperate with you like this?
Putting aside our life-long friendship, just based on this point alone, shouldn't you stand on my side?"

"..."

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with what this guy said...

Apart from anything else, Sheep Horn was badly beaten by the Red-haired Chief, and was basically "tamed". It must be more honest than the remaining six "wild" ones. If there was a different dominant will, it might not be as obedient as it is.

"Fine……"

After looking down and making sure that no one was there, Leon flipped out of the window again, stepped onto the witch's broom floating in the corner, and asked casually:

"How can I help you so that you can continue to take the lead?"

Phew... you have a conscience.

Seeing that Leon did not refute, Black Goat couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly struck while the iron was hot:
"Of course I'll give it a good beating!"

Without considering the relationship between the mother and the sheep, the black goat said grimly:
"It just so happens that your pendant carries the power of the Holy Spirit, which is naturally harmful to demons. Once I help you get the sheep's heart, you can go all out and use your pendant to brand it hard! Make its strength lower than mine, so that it knows who is the boss!"

"Well, we'll see when the time comes."

"You can't wait to see this happen! You have to be ruthless!"

Finding that Leon's "position" did not seem very firm, and worried that he still had the intention of "negotiating" with his heart, Black Goat hurriedly continued to whisper in his ear:
"Although this is the first time I have seen my own heart, the power it carries is arrogant! You can tell without thinking that it is naturally unwilling to be inferior to others. You must be ruthless and kill its arrogance!"

"Yeah, but I don't like to do anything ruthless for no reason. Let's wait until we find it!"

After dealing with the Black Goat for a few words, Leon took out the list in his arms and took a look. Among the eight names on the list, the last four had been crossed out.

There are four left...

……

After taking away the bandages of the female prisoner and sending her and the female police officer out of Ryan Manor, Leon, who had completed the investigation, sneaked back again, kidnapped a servant who seemed to be of a high status, and used his soul vision to "interrogate" the residences of these people.

He has met the four people who have been crossed out so far one by one. Although their souls are filled with a rotten and moldy smell, there is no smell of mutton offal on their bodies, so they should not be the real targets.

Thomas Lane, who is ranked fourth on the list, is the representative of the Lane family in the water company incident and the first person to detect the smell of sheep's heart in him.

Although the Black Goat said that he was probably not the holder, but was only temporarily given a small amount of power, and his soul had been tampered with so that he would collapse the moment the secret was about to be leaked, Leon still ran over to take a look just in case, but he was surprised to find nothing.

Then I have to skip him and continue looking upwards.

Considering that using soul vision to search for the whereabouts of the blond middle-aged man might alert the sheep in advance, Lyon used his fingernails to press a mark on Thomas Lane's name, and then continued to search upwards. Oliver Lane... This person is a senior official of the Ministry of Road Administration. According to the servant, he was recently dealing with an unexpectedly suspended railway project and did not return to his residence in Lane Manor, so he could only skip it. The next step is...

Bobby Ryan.

Looking at the name ranked second, Leon remembered what happened to the female prisoner's husband. He couldn't help but frown slightly, and even hoped that he was the holder of the Sheep Heart.

It’s a pity that according to his “history of rise to wealth”, this person is far less suspicious than his brother, the current Duke of Lionheart.

Although the current Duke of Lionheart cannot be described as mediocre, his background can only be described as okay, and he was only ranked seventh in the original line of succession.

But he was cheating all the way. Not only did his competitors die or flee, but he also inexplicably gained support from a large number of his tribesmen. He repeatedly turned the tables in desperate situations, but almost no one could tell how he won.

Compared to his brother who almost has the word "suspicious" written on his face, Bobby Ryan's resume is also full of doubts, but relatively speaking, it is much more normal.

Apart from his rather cruel methods and rather suspicious tendency to play power games, he is almost a standard Ryan noble, and... seems to be quite hardworking?

Looking at the still lit windows on the fifth floor of the main building, Leon couldn't help but frown, wondering whether to go up and force a "visit" now, or wait until the man turned off the lights and rested before going up.

However, at this moment, the shopping bag in Lyon's hand shook suddenly, and the black goat's extremely excited urging voice rang in his ears.

"It's him! It's him!
Come on! I felt it! He just used his power in that room!"

Is that him? That would be killing two birds with one stone!

After hearing what the black goat said, Leon, who had confirmed his target, no longer concealed himself. He simply clamped the witch's broom between his legs and rushed towards the window like a sharp arrow.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Who?!"

After uttering the standard shout of someone under sudden attack, the young man, who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, suddenly stood up and was about to run out of the room to call the guards like an ordinary person.

But when he rushed to the door, he seemed to have discovered something. He stopped with joy in his eyes and stared at the shopping bag in Leon's hand.

"It's you?"

"Yes... Hululu..."

After licking a hole in the shopping bag with his tongue and exposing his mouth, the Black Goat was about to say a few harsh words to his other self, but before he could utter a syllable, he was directly filled with a mouthful of gale.

Following the experience taught by Senior Emma, ​​"Never waste time talking to the enemy unless it is to extract information", the moment Leon broke through the window, he used all his strength to activate the witch's broom, using the airflow shield to carry a large amount of glass fragments, and pressed towards the young man!
Because he felt that it was not safe enough, and in order to prevent the young man from having any means of saving his life, Leon simultaneously activated the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant, exerting enough physical strength to jog five kilometers in one breath, and crushed the young man's soul with all his strength!
"Puff puff!"

The sounds of sharp weapons breaking into flesh rang out one after another. Under the spiritual impact of the Holy Spirit Pendant, the young man with joy in his eyes suddenly became blank. Before he could put up any resistance, he was swept away by the oncoming storm and hit the wall heavily.

Hundreds of glass fragments, like sharp knives, cut his front body into bloody pieces, and even pierced through it directly, hitting the violet wall behind him, and blooming strange and bright blood flowers on it...

"..."

What the hell!

After struggling out of the shopping bag, the Black Goat opened his mouth in shock as he looked at the young man who was almost nailed to the wall.

Is this what you mean by not liking to be ruthless? Then how ruthless do you have to be when you are ruthless?
……

Just like that... it’s solved?

Although the situation he had hoped for the most had occurred, Leon still felt a sense of unreality in his heart because he had achieved his goal so easily, and...

A bit nauseous...

Even at the moment of breaking the window and taking action, he had already determined the other party's soul characteristics. He was the type that could be shot to death. There was no need to worry about killing good people by mistake, and there was basically no psychological burden.

But looking at the corpse on the wall, which could never be broadcast on TV no matter how it was censored, Leon's stomach couldn't help but churn, and the color on his face faded a lot.

He took two steps back, then raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, took two deep breaths, and before the Ryan family came up, Leon, with a pale face, hurriedly urged:

"Where's your heart? Point it out to me!"

"oh oh!"

The black goat came back to its senses and glanced at the young man. Just as he was about to tell him the location of his heart, he seemed to have discovered something unusual and screamed suddenly.

"Leon! He..."

"Know!"

Even though he was disgusted by the bloody scene, Leon still insisted on not looking away and discovered the abnormality earlier than the black goat!

At the moment when the eyes of the "corpse" on the wall moved slightly, before the black goat could scream, he activated the [Holy Spirit Pendant] and condensed several "stones" the size of eggs, which smashed the young man's joints with a bang.

Since he didn't know why the other party was able to come back to life, Leon did not hold back at all this time. Before destroying the joints of the corpse, he first condensed several "fine needles" and stabbed them at the young man's vital points at high speed!
"Puff puff!"

Under Leon's relentless destruction, in just one breath, more than ten bright blood flowers exploded on the young man's body, and even a small hole was pierced between his eyebrows.

But the strange thing was that even though his body had suffered such damage, he still maintained the ability to move normally. He even took two trembling steps back and sat back in his chair.

"That's great! That's great!"

After slightly tilting his head to avoid the invisible attack that was piercing his vocal cords, the young man, with a bloody face, gave Leon an unusually bright smile.

"When I knew that the Horn fell into that woman's hands, I thought it would be impossible to get it again and I could only go find the remaining five. I didn't expect that woman to give it to you!"

Looking at Leon who was panting heavily and looking at him in shock, the young man spoke sincerely:

"You are the new employee of the Cleanup Bureau, right? Thank you! You really helped me a lot!"
