Chapter 229: Ruthless Hair Knife
"I can finally take a break."
Sakura Yoshida woke up and saw that the alarm clock near the bed read 10:34. She was a little happy.
Because the team had recently expanded and B Station was gradually getting on the right track.
Everyone had started to arrange their vacations.
And today it's her turn to arrange them.
"First, sleep in late, then order breakfast takeout from the hotel, and then get up to read the latest volume of Ren's Chainsaw Man!"
Sakura told herself, "Then go to Ren's house to play later and have dinner with him at night!"
"That's it!"
But she stayed in bed for half an hour and then got up happily to brush her teeth and wash up.
It had been a long time since she had stayed in bed, but Sakura has the personality of a homebody girl.
So this time... she decided to return to her nature! After washing up, Sakura got up and ordered takeout from the hotel.
The reason she's now living in a hotel is that after the last semester of her junior year, her dormitory was dismantled.
In fact, they can still leave their luggage in the dormitory during their senior year and go back to school to rest at night.
But... since the atmosphere in the dormitory is not very good, Sakura, Yang Zhihan, and Li Zhiqiu discussed and decided to move out this semester.
Then they rented a place to live.
This is, naturally, because... after Du Guoguo was expelled from the B Station business team last time, the atmosphere in the dormitory was not very good.
Although Du Guoguo didn't make a big fuss directly, he obviously ignored them.
Furthermore, there were some negative comments about Sakura, Yang Zhihan, Li Zhiqiu, and others on the school forum.
They are not made of clay, and clay still has a bit of a temper.
After all, Du Guoguo brought it on himself. His ability and attitude were deficient, which generated dissatisfaction among the rest of the team.
Sakura had to consider the feelings of the other members, and Ren advised her, so she had to ask Du Guoguo to let her leave the team.
At that time, she comforted Du Guoguo in a very good tone.
Unfortunately, Du Guoguo did not accept her kindness.
So now Sakura, Yang Zhihan, and Li Zhiqiu don't plan to live in the residence. It would be more comfortable to move out and rent a house.
But where to rent is still a concern for everyone.
Sakura will be staying in a hotel with Yang Zhihan and Li Zhiqiu, who will go to the studio to work today.
Now she is the only one left.
She finished washing slowly, contrary to her usual behavior in front of Yang Zhihan and Li Zhiqiu.
Then she ordered breakfast takeout from the hotel, and after receiving it, Sakura opened a volume of Chainsaw Man.
Lately, she has been reading the individual volumes of Chainsaw Man that Ren sent her in her spare time, and now she has read the last two plots.
She is currently on episode 55.
Since the plot of the previous episode, the main forces and personnel competing for Denji have appeared.
The public safety team has also assigned new characters to "protect" Denji's safety.
Among them, the three who protect him closely are Kusakabe, Tamaki, and Yoshida.
At the same time, after introducing the appearance of the three, the devil hunters Kurose and Tendo, from the Imperial Public Safety Bureau, who had already appeared, as well as their new master Subaru, also appeared on the scene.
"If you ask me..." said Tendo while smoking. "If you ask me, the so-called chainsaw devil...".
"Anyway, nobody knows what he looks like, right?".
"Why don't they just lock him up at home?".
"Ah... that makes sense."
Kurose also smoked a cigarette and said, "Subaru, why don't you do that?".
"A devil's sense of smell is much more sensitive than a human's," said the man who debuted, named Subaru, with great experience. "A devil's sense of smell is much more sensitive than a human's. It's not easy to hide it from those who have made a deal with a devil, right?".
Then he finished smoking and stood up. "Alright, break's over! Let's get on with the road!".
He really looked like a powerful and experienced superior.
At first glance, you could tell that he was undoubtedly a powerful superior in the public safety department, like Kishibe.
Sakura thought that in her heart.
"Do you have time to hang out in Tokyo?".
"No, no."
Then the three of them got into the car, and the car drove along the mountain road.
At the same time, Subaru asked Tendo and Kurose, "Didn't you meet Makima before? What kind of woman is she?".
The faces of the two in the manga looked a little silent.
"Subaru, I have something to tell you about this," said Tendo, who was driving, at that moment.
"Ah... what is it?"
Just as Sakura believed they would begin to reveal information about Makima's character... a long row of spikes suddenly appeared on the road in front of them as they drove! The car's tires rolled over the spikes and were instantly torn.
Then, the car crashed uncontrollably into the large tree beside the road.
"Hiss!"
"Do you know how to drive, you idiot?!".
Just as Kurose and Subaru were about to complain about Tendo's driving skills, three armed hands appeared in front of them and extended from the broken car window.
This series of changes, not to mention Kurose, Tendo, and Subaru.
Not even Sakura, a manga fan with a divine perspective, reacted.
They are... the three immortal brothers!
As the sound of gunshots was heard on the screen, the three immortal brothers looked back at the car.
Kurose, Tendo, and Subaru had already fallen completely into a pool of blood, breathless.
"No... right?"
Sakura had never expected this and looked at this scene in complete disbelief and said.
Kurose, Tendo, and Subaru died just like that. Subaru, the eldest, had just appeared and had not yet shown his true strength.
It wasn't that big of a deal.
Kurose and Tendo were supporting characters who had already appeared, and they were also important supporting characters that everyone knew... and they died just like that? And they died in such a confusing way...
Anyway, Sakura didn't understand.
Not to mention Sakura, the manga fans who saw this scene during the serialization were also full of confusion.
"Huh? Didn't Tendo want to tell Subaru about Makima? Did he die just like that?"
"He really died. After all, besides Makima, no one in Chainsaw Man has ever won the resurrection match."
"No? Is Ren, the old rogue, really sick? Can he kill people just by saying so?"
"I thought Ren's condition, the old rogue, had improved after drawing Chainsaw Man, but I didn't expect... Alright, I'm very familiar with this sudden death plot."
"Gloria from Edgerunners said it was great. That's right, I was driving a car and I died."
"Back! Everyone back! The old rogue Silverhand is back!"
"Alright, my Ren is back, my proudest mental patient!"
...
Sakura still didn't believe it. What if Kurose, Tendo, and Subaru were faking their deaths? As a result, their bodies were buried later.
One of the three immortal brothers directly used the power of the devil to disguise himself as Kurose, intending to approach Denji in that way.
At that moment, Denji and his companions arrived at the hamburger shop under the protection of Kusakabe and his companions.
Denji and Power were playing as usual, but at that moment...
"Excuse me, can you let me pass?".
Torik and his master duo, who had appeared before, also appeared at the hamburger shop.
However, they did not directly attack Denji and his companions, but sat down like normal customers and ordered fast food.
At that moment, Denji and his companions left the hamburger shop.
Without chasing them, the woman sat down.
"This is the first time I've eaten a hamburger."
The woman put down a bloody nail and said with joy.
"What did you do to the target?" asked Torik, looking at the bloody nail.
"I used the Curse Devil."
The woman pointed at the nail and said, "I just stabbed the boy three times without making a sound, and the last one is up to you, Torik."
Curse Devil Kas!
Sakura, who had completed the previous part, naturally knew the ability of the Curse Devil Kas, who had made an agreement with Aki Hayakawa! If you stab the target four times with the cursed long nail, Kas will appear and kill him! Only the last blow will kill Denji.
But the woman completed the first three blows silently, leaving the last one for Torik...
"This is my test for you. If you manage to pass it..."
The woman told Torik with a smile, "I will introduce you to the devils I signed an agreement with."
After saying this, she took the hamburger in front of her and prepared to eat.
But... the hamburger the woman was holding suddenly fell.
This surprised both her and Torik.
"Maybe it's because of the agreement, it took some of the feeling from my fingers..." the woman said indifferently. "I don't know if it still has flavor."
She bit into the hamburger and ate it with gusto.
"Devil hunters... are really quite pitiful."
Seeing this, Sakura couldn't help but feel some compassion for the woman, muttering to herself.
To obtain power, the woman must have traded with devils many times.
She only has half a year left to live, and she may have lost her sense of touch, smell, taste, and other senses.
It's a shame...
And Torik probably thought the same. He stared at the woman in front of him, whom he called his master.
"How is it?" the woman first asked Torik, and then looked at the hamburger in front of her as if it were a delicacy, and said, "Mmm! It's so delicious that if no one else were here, I'd like to dance!"
Torik looked at the ketchup on the corner of the woman's mouth and smiled gently.
"It's stained with ketchup."
He took a napkin to help the woman wipe the corner of her mouth and said.
The woman continued to enjoy the deliciousness of the hamburger.
This made Sakura a little emotional upon seeing it.
The master, who has little time left, and the apprentice, who works hard for him and always worries about him...
and this beautiful interaction...
This master and apprentice CP are really good... Unfortunately, according to her understanding of Ren, if they become enemies, they will die in the end.
Just like Reze, although she and Denji fell in love, she died in the end.
Although she died at the hands of the female protagonist Makima.
This master and apprentice will be the same; even if they were forced to kill Denji, they are not bad people.
On the other hand, Koji Higashiyama and the Violence Fiend also began to sprinkle sugar.
The Violence Fiend only called the shy Koji after he had solved it himself.
At the same time, he invited Koji for ice cream during the break.
"You always ask me to treat you. Thank you very much," said Koji gratefully.
"You're welcome!"
The Violence Fiend looked at Koji and said, "It's not convenient for me to eat with my mask on, so I want to see Koji's happy expression when she eats ice cream."
This sentence is really... sweeter than the ice cream in Koji's hand! It seems that Ren does understand romance. Sakura watched these two sweet stories and smiled sweetly.
In the end, they also talked about the Violence Fiend's past.
"I still remember the school I went to when I was human and my favorite restaurant..." remembered the Violence Fiend, "but I don't remember how I died."
"But I still remember that Makima saved me."
Makima saved the Violence Fiend...
Koji Higashiyama wiped the corner of her lips. "Mmm...".
"I don't like violence at all."
At that moment, the Violence Fiend made a yes gesture and said, "Love and peace! Yes!".
Koji's expression was a little strange at that moment, and she said, "I also like peace...".
Just as they were talking happily, a car suddenly pulled up.
Then, "Kurose" appeared in front of them with a bloody face.
"Are you public safety devil hunters?" one of the three immortal brothers, disguised as "Kurose," asked Koji and the Violence Fiend. "On the way, Tendo and Subaru were ambushed, quickly notify headquarters!"
But Koji and the Violence Fiend, one panicked, the other very calm.
"My partner and my master are dead!" exclaimed "Kurose," pretending to be extremely anxious. "Call quickly!"
Koji and the Violence Fiend went to find a public phone to call.
After they left, "Kurose" regained his composure and said, "Two idiots...".
"They believed it without even checking the documents."
"It's not Kurose!" Sakura reacted.
She thought that "Kurose" was actually faking his death and would go to notify the three immortal brothers after they left...
At that moment, Denji and Power were still fighting.
The public safety devil hunter used Denji as bait and deliberately let him walk around to lure the enemy into a trap.
Power suddenly felt disgusted and exclaimed, "You guys benefit from this matter, and I have nothing! This is too unreasonable!".
To calm the noisy Power, Aki Hayakawa had to promise, "Denji, when this matter is over, let Power suck you dry."
"Huh? I don't want her..." said Denji in horror.
"Denji's blood..."
Power sat happily on Denji's head, shouting, "Too... too good!".
