Chapter 126 Demon Hunter (45)

Chainsaw Man (Required Assets: 50000 RMB)

[Pre-battle preparation time: This game lasts for one month. You must evacuate from the designated location within the time limit. The timer starts from when you enter the instance.]

Your game items: None

Your bank account balance: 2740000 yuan

"Everyone was really enthusiastic..."

Chen Lai suddenly blurted out a remark that when he first published his book, he had 2.2 million yuan in his account. He went to Shanghai, met some new friends, had meals together, chatted, and took advantage of company deals... Before he knew it, he had a lot more money.

However, it makes sense when you think about it. Players at his level have more money than they can spend. As long as he's still around, other players will be willing to lend him money to make a comeback.

This is true of any society where people exist: when you have more money than you can spend, the more you spend, the more you can spend. Once you start to be poor, the trend of poverty is unstoppable.

Expand the inventory.

Chen Lai was preparing to buy equipment. This time, he was mainly aiming for the unique item. As long as the price was right, hoisting equipment wouldn't be a problem...

But when he looked at the inventory, he was dumbfounded.

[Human body: The physical body used to carry the soul, intact and without missing any organs, used for making a deal with the devil, value: 50000 yuan]

The entire inventory contains only this one item; everything else is completely empty.

As expected of you, Fujimoto Itsuki. The world you created is so unique, even the initial equipment you get when you enter a dungeon is so special.

Chen Lai remained silent, spent 50,000 to buy the [human body], and immediately wanted to purchase it.

Chen Lai could understand the strange preparations for this instance. It wasn't difficult to obtain power from this instance, but obtaining the unique item was very difficult.

To gain power, one simply needs to make a pact with a demon. This is one method. Using the power of a demon will sacrifice a part of one's own body until death. This is also why the organs marked as intact in the human body can be traded.

A "demon" is a form in which a demon possesses the body of a dead person and manifests demonic characteristics on that person. Of course, Chen Lai could not become a demon.

Finally, there's the "Terror Weapon Man," the protagonist Denji, who fits this mold; Chen Lai prefers to call him "Devil Man."

The most likely way to obtain a unique item is to become someone like Denji, get the demon to willingly give you its heart, and then take it with you out of the dungeon. That's what a unique item is.

Any other method, such as forcing the demon to come to the evacuation point or killing the demon, is useless, because the demon goes to hell after it dies, and comes to earth after it dies in hell. This is the basic premise of "Chainsaw Man". There is only one kind of monster that can kill the demon - the Chainsaw Demon.

As consciousness faded, Chen began to release the substance.

[February 10th, 2:10 PM, Osaka Prefecture, Japan]

"It's alright, I was lucky, the distance wasn't too far."

This was Chen Lai's first thought. He originally thought that if it were deployed to other countries, he would have to raise money to fly to Japan, since the protagonist was here and the demon Machima was also here.

The next second, he heard screams and the sounds of people running and shouting. The women's screams were particularly piercing. Their combined decibels made Chen Lai feel dizzy and lightheaded.

"What are you doing..."

Chen Lai sat up from the deck chairs that could be found anywhere on the street and opened his eyes to look at the world.

"Evil, devil!"

"Call the police right now!"

"Where is the demon hunter? Hasn't he arrived yet?" In the center of the square, a white dove, a symbol of peace, took flight, while a clock-shaped demon covered in slips of paper with words like "penalty," "late," and "punishment" written in various languages ​​shrieked.

"Ring ring ring ring—You're late!"

"Ring ring ring ring ring—You're too slow!"

"Ring ring ring ring—You're late!"

It emitted a very regular shriek, and those who were fleeing nearby would show pain upon hearing it, and soon collapse to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

The men and women hiding around the flower bed watched the scene before them with some fear. They were all making phone calls on their phones. Although it was still early in the season, their faces were covered in sweat from fear.

Chen Lai looked at the scene before him with a somewhat lazy expression, unconsciously loosening the tie around his neck. He was wearing a suit, the kind of suit that modern Japanese office workers wear, with the bow tie fastened very tightly, making him feel a little suffocated and uncomfortable.

"The late demon? I've never seen that in the original story."

He stood up, loosened his muscles, and made a "crackling" sound.

"But it doesn't matter, this kind of weak demon can be killed easily."

After a quick warm-up, Chen Lai covered his ears with both hands, stared at the latecomer who was feasting, and then strode forward.

"Hey, that's a demon! Wait, what are you doing?!"

A middle-aged office worker with a thick beard was hiding behind a flower bed when he noticed Chen Lai's actions. He tried to stop Chen Lai in a panic, but it was too late.

"Ding ding, ding, ding, ding, ding..."

The closer you get to the demon of lateness, the louder the alarm clock rings. Humanity's fear of being late has created demons, each with its own special abilities. The more feared a demon is, the more powerful it becomes.

The weakest are the common demons, which can be easily defeated even by ordinary people. Of course, if a common demon has eaten a piece of the [Gun Demon]'s flesh, the situation is very different.

The [Late Demon] before us, while possessing some strength, is clearly not as abnormally powerful as the Gun Demon. Ordinary people, if they muster the courage, can actually defeat it.

When facing a demon, the most important thing is not to be afraid. Demons feed on fear, and the more afraid you are, the stronger they become.

Therefore, in such a world, the player's mentality is actually very suitable for living here. Players are fearless and will fight any demon they encounter. Everyone is a bloodthirsty powerhouse, so the demons can't become strong.

Unfortunately, this world is still dominated by ordinary people, with too few players, and since the players are not native inhabitants, their impact on this place is destined to be negligible.

"Look back!"

Chen Lai leaped high into the air and descended from the sky in an Ultraman flying kick pose. He even specifically reminded the late demon in front of him to take his flying kick head-on.

"what?"

The late demon never expected that there would be a human who wasn't afraid of it. Instead of running away, it attacked it. In a daze, it twisted its clock-shaped body, exposing its weakness to Chen Lai!
Click, click—

A sound of shattering glass rang out as Chen Lai's "Ultraman Flying Kick" shattered the protective glass on the chest of the late demon. Although Chen Lai's leg was also mangled and stuck in the shards of glass, he didn't care.

"Aaaaaaah!!! Ring ring ring ring ring!!"

The late demon amplifies its abilities, attempting to intimidate the person in front of it.

Blood flowed from Chen Lai's ears, but he smiled and lowered his hands from his ears.

"Take this punch! I hate alarm clocks the most!!!"
