I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Then she added with a smile: "He is the person you miss day and night~"

The moment Isabella heard the doorbell ringing, she had already stood up from her chair. She was about to run to open the door when she heard her sister's words. Her cheeks were suddenly stained with a lovely blush, and she stammered: "What, You are someone who thinks about you day and night, don’t talk nonsense, sister!”

"Eh? Isn't it?" Ellerbella looked at her sister's reaction and already knew it in her heart, so she joked, "Evidently after we separated from Mr. Cheng that day, she has been talking about her to me!"

"elder sister!"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, go and open the door."

For Isabella, who did not dare to openly admit that she liked Cheng Rang, Aile did not say much, but instead urged her to open the door, "I still have something in my hand, it's inconvenient."

It is not normal for a girl of Isa's age to fall in love at first sight with the benefactor who saved her from the edge of despair. What's more, Mr. Cheng is very handsome and has a good personality.

Ailebella is very open-minded about her sister's relationship. She fully approves of having such a strong, handsome and gentle boyfriend, so Ailebella celebrates her birthday today. As an excuse, he invited Cheng Rang to his home, ready to build a relationship between the two.

Although......

"Hey, it's Miss Isa, hello, hello!"

"Mr. Cheng, welcome, please, please come in..."

Looking at the black-haired young man walking in, Ellerbella put the apple pie on the table, took off her gloves and greeted him with a smile: "Welcome, you're just in time, Cheng."

"Well, happy birthday Miss Campbell!" He nodded and smiled.

"Thank you~"

Although I also like the person in front of me named Cheng Rang...

Ellerbella smiled and thanked the person who wished her a happy birthday, and then greeted him to the restaurant, "Please take a seat, everyone is already here!"

"Everyone is here?" Hearing Ellerbella's words, Cheng Rang looked around the Campbell house with some surprise. Apart from the Campbell sisters, he was the only one left here. "But it seems that I am the only one here..." "

"Because there aren't many friends who are good enough to invite to my home." Ellerbella replied.

"That's right! Then I feel really honored, haha~"

Cheng Rang also expressed his understanding of Ellerbella's answer. After all, this is HL. Although there are no aliens in the quarantine area, the behavior of certain humans is often more vicious than that of many aliens.

There is no problem in maintaining the same vigilance as always. After all, there are only two young and lovely girls in the Campbell family, Cheng Rang thought.

"Oh, by the way, this is your gift to Miss Campbell." Cheng Rang handed the bag in his hand to Ellerbella and congratulated her again: "Happy birthday!"

"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing!" Ellerbella didn't expect that Cheng Rang would still bring gifts for him. He had obviously emphasized on the phone that there was no need to give these things, as long as others came over, but he still Giving it away made her happy and surprised.

"It doesn't matter! Just accept it, it's just a little thought." Cheng Rang saw that Ellerbella didn't accept his gift, so he forced it into her hand, "If you don't accept it, It’s useless if I keep it, so please don’t be polite!”

"Then, I will accept it with embarrassment." Ellerbella looked at the exquisite packaging box in her hand and asked, "Can I open it?"

"Of course!" Cheng Rang smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

At this time, Isabella on the side also came over with a curious expression.

Ellerbella placed the box on the table, carefully untied the red ribbon on it, and slowly opened it.

"This is....

."

What catches the eye is an exquisite women's watch.

"A watch?" Ellerbella took it out and put it on her empty wrist. She looked back and forth and said with a satisfied smile, "Thank you, I like it very much!"

Cheng Rang nodded: "As long as you like it, besides, this is actually more than just an ordinary watch."

"Eh? Are there any other functions?" Ellerbella said in surprise.

"Of course, although it's not a special function...it's just that you can change the style. You can probably change the style of bracelets, bracelets, etc., and the color can also be customized. Well, there is an instruction manual here, and you can Study it yourself, it's a relatively novel gadget." Cheng Rang took out the instruction manual from the box and explained.

"I see, it sounds very good, sister!" Isabella took the instruction manual in Cheng Rang's hand, and after flipping through it a few times, she roughly understood how to operate it.

So she took Ellerbella's hand and pressed a few times on the strap on her wrist.

The metallic watch flowed as if it melted in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a delicate bracelet, and the time display on it changed from the dial to a small pendant on the bracelet, with 12:22 on it. The number indicates that the current time is 12:22 noon.

"oh!"

Both sisters exclaimed, it was their first time seeing this magical little thing.

"This, isn't it very expensive?" Ellerbella was stunned for a moment, then realized that this kind of level that human technology cannot yet reach is probably a product processed by a factory in another world.

Cheng Rang smiled and waved his hand and said, "Actually, it's not very expensive. It's just that the channels for obtaining it are a bit special. Don't worry too much. Just be happy!"

It's just a newly released test product from one of Lebra's sponsors, and the internal price for employees is only 1,999 zer.

About...the price of sixty cups of Resonance Blue?

I'll drink the amount once... Cheng Rang secretly added in his heart, feeling guilty.

Zell: The common currency in HL, which can be exchanged with various foreign currencies or US dollars in major banks.

Zell can be used to spend money in various large and small shops in Helsalem Zlot. Although some human stores also accept U.S. dollars, in contrast, stores opened by aliens do not accept U.S. dollars, but accept Zell. And its corresponding foreign currency.

The exchange rate of zeer is also relatively stable relative to the US dollar, with 1 zeer equaling about 2 US dollars.

A glass of Resonance Blue is about 33 zeer, 66 US dollars.... A 20ml glass is just a small sip, which is really expensive for wine.

So this deformable watch costs about $4,000, which is really not cheap for ordinary families....

Finally, I would also like to announce Cheng Rang’s salary. Currently, the fixed salary he can get from Lebra is 30,000 US dollars a month, which is the highest among all cadres. This does not include commissions from entrusted action tasks. As the current Lebra He is one of the strongest combatants in Bula, and a single commission probably costs at least 100,000 US dollars, so he is no longer short of money.

Yes, he is very famous now... because he has a 100% completion rate in various high-risk elimination missions that do not require survival, and the efficiency is very fast, without even providing detailed information about the target. , you only need to tell others where they are and who should be made to disappear. He even got a very resounding title in the circle - the black-haired and white-sworded God of Death.

Due to a series of reasons such as the astonishing completion rate of eradication missions, never leaving any alive and not even finding a body, his title makes members of major underground organizations frightened just by hearing it. The crime rate in HL is due to him. The appearance of one person is a full 0.001 percentage point lower than before!

Although it's better than nothing...but there are changes, right?

In the words of Fantou Stephen: What a joy, a joy!

So with Cheng Rang's continuous persuasion and assurance, Ellerbella finally accepted the gift.

"I will cherish it!" she said.

After that, a few people sat at the dining table, lit candles, made wishes, cut cakes, sang happy birthday, etc. It was probably a relatively warm and pleasant birthday party.

And the slight fly in the ointment is...

Although Ailebella has made some hints about the relationship between men and women to her sister and Cheng Rang from time to time, Cheng Rang, who seems to have never been in love, can't take it at all, and Isa sitting next to him Bella, on the other hand, always chose to change the subject without leaving a trace because of her shyness...

Cheng Rang's only feeling when he finally walked out of Campbell's house was:

"Why are they both acting weird since they started eating today?"

Chapter 48: Ghost Girl Xiaobai and Homeless Leo

There are dense low trees all around, and the road underfoot gradually changes from bluestone bricks to bare soil.

An old street lamp that seemed to be in disrepair stood alone next to the crooked iron fence, and behind the empty section of the fence, a bright and warm light was faintly transmitted.

Leo held up the camera in his hand and walked toward the light at the end of this quiet path...

The vague obstruction of the trees was pushed to both sides as the boy stepped forward, and a silent cemetery slowly appeared in front of him.

Before his eyes.

The soft sunshine in the morning and afternoon was partially blocked by the hollow partition window of the abandoned Catholic church in the distance. It turned into golden light beams and was projected on the group of tombstones of different heights in front of them. Not far from the right front is a tombstone that has been There was a small bell tower covered with vines and moss, and the tall, cold building on the left that he subconsciously supported was an unknown white stone commemorative monument.

"Is there a cemetery in the hospital?" the young man murmured, "It's really unlucky..."

The sun rarely broke through the thick fog that shrouded the entire Hersharemzlot, bringing some heat to the ground and shining faithfully on the boy's body.

But at this time, Leo didn't feel the warmth he should have, and only felt a little cold all over.

"Hahaha~"

A burst of laughter like silver bells from a girl suddenly broke the silence here, and then she seemed to be answering what she had just murmured: "That's right, so no one will come back except me."

Leo's heart moved, and he raised his head to look for the sound. He saw a figure in a white dress squatting on the steps of the memorial monument next to him, with long golden twin ponytails hanging on both sides of her shoulders.

"But doesn't it feel empty to live in fear of death? People are going to die anyway, so what's the point of turning a blind eye now?" She said to herself, "Or..."

"You think you won't die, so you think it has nothing to do with you?"

The girl raised her head, her flawless face was covered with a dazzling halo by the sunlight, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there was a smile in her emerald eyes, "What kind of person do you belong to, Leonardo?" Mr. Walker?"

She called out her name.

Leo opened his eyes slightly, and the girl's face was reflected in the azure blue god's prosthetic eyes with countless precision mechanical patterns slowly rotating in them.

"Who are you?"

The girl laughed mischievously, with some excitement in her eyes, but also revealed some expectation. She stared at the beautiful blue prosthetic eyes of the young man in front of her, moved her upper body towards him, and said: "I am Xiaobai...is a ghost!"

"Let's be friends, Leonardo!?"

Ghost...ghost?

Listening to the words of the girl in front of him, cold sweat broke out slightly on Leo's forehead, and he froze in place as if he was frightened by the girl's words.

Then he seemed to think of something, trembled slightly, raised the camera in his hand, and pressed the shutter button at the girl in front of him.

Click——

Leo looked at the screen of the camera in his hand, which showed a blond girl with beautiful emerald green eyes sitting on a high white step, smiling at the camera.

"Ah...it can be photographed..." he muttered softly after that.

"Hahahaha~"

After the ghost girl who called herself Xiaobai saw Leo's actions, she held her stomach and laughed like a child who had succeeded in a prank. Until there were even some tears in the corners of her laughing eyes, she wiped her eyes and said: "Just now , why are you taking pictures?"

After asking, she still couldn't help but laugh softly.

"that...."

Leo realized that it was actually very impolite for him to suddenly take pictures of a strange girl, so he quickly explained: "Because you said..."

He paused, "You said you were a ghost..."

When Leo said this, his eyes plunged into the camera screen in his hand, staring at the white figure above and fell silent.

"Indeed, that's right!" she commented, "You are much more unique than you look!"

The picture on the screen was enlarged by itself and moved to the girl's face.

"I like it!"

Eh? Like it! ?

After hearing the girl's last words, Leo pulled his eyes away from the screen in surprise and looked up.

The girl stood up from the steps, opened her arms to herself, and jumped down from the stone monument...

——Jumping towards his arms!

"Ugh——!"

Today, a boy named Leonardo Watch meets and encounters a "ghost girl" who claims to be Xiaobai...

first day!

...

Lebra Hall.

As the black and gold carved door was pushed open, a black-haired boy with a long white knife on his waist walked in.

"Good morning, boss." Cheng Rang held a paper bag in his hand, which contained a takeaway set meal from Jack's Burgers. He looked at Klaus, who was sitting at the table and operating the computer seriously, and asked him. morning.

The sturdy red-haired man sitting behind the long wooden table did not respond to the black-haired boy's greetings, but stared at the screen more seriously, and the mouse and keyboard in his hands made a rhythmic clicking sound bit by bit. .

"Ah, the boss is playing with the Demon Flag again... It seems that your work is very serious and intense." Seeing Klaus's state, Cheng Rang was obviously very devoted and felt confident during working hours. Fish, so he complained out of habit.

After walking two steps to the sofa, he sat down, opened his paper bag and was about to have breakfast, when he saw a familiar figure curled up on the sofa opposite, covered with a thin blanket. .

"Leo? What are you doing today?

Are you here so early...Aww~" Cheng Rang tore open the packaging of the burger in his hand and took a big bite.

Looking at Leo who seemed to be in a dazed state due to fatigue, Cheng Rang chewed the burger in his mouth twice, and then said vaguely: "Are you here so early just to sleep again? Hey, even the quilt is covered, How lazy~”

After that, he didn't pay attention to the half-awake boy in front of him and the boss who was focusing on the battle of demon flags, and started eating his burger as if no one else was watching.
