Chapter 144 The Demon of the Gun (25)

A crow landed on the platform canopy of the bullet train, and in its dark eyes, it reflected the tragic death of Machima.

While Sawatari Akane was making her move, her gang members also joined in, assassinating the unsuspecting Makima on the bullet train bound for Sendai.

This can be considered an attempt by the "Gun Demon". It has been able to sense the activities of the "Dominator Demon" in Japan, but it really dares not appear in the human's field of vision for long and can only rely on humans to eliminate Machima.

The relationships between demons are not as harmonious as humans imagine. Makima has long since made a pact with the Japanese cabinet, and this place is essentially her reserve. If the Demon of the Gun dares to stay there for too long, it will surely be killed.

Despite being a world-renowned demon that brings immense suffering to humanity with each landing, the Gun Demon is actually only considered mid-to-high tier among demons, wandering around the Pacific Ocean like a stray dog.

However, things have recently improved for it, because the US president, for reasons unknown, has made a pact with the gun demon, exchanging half the lifespan of the entire American population for the condition of killing Machima!
Someone somehow revealed Machima's true motives and identity to the United States. The details of the information were chilling. How could such a terrifying being be allowed to continue living?
……

Inside the [Chainsaw Man] instance, Zhang Long lay on an outdoor deck chair on a Hawaiian beach, happily taking a sip of his iced drink and adjusting his sunglasses.

That's right, Chen Lai called him here. Chen Lai also collected those materials and forwarded them to him via private chat. In return for passing on the information, Chen Lai promised to give him five times the cost as compensation after the book was published, while Zhang Long only asked for a refund of the original price.

With only half a month left, Chen Lai must immediately escalate all the conflicts in the [Chainsaw Man] instance, making Makima reveal all her cards and letting Dianci see the true face of this wicked woman.

I'm sorry, Chen Lai can't let Dianci enjoy a little more peace and quiet. Dianci has only been experiencing family and friendship for less than a month, and these feelings will soon vanish like bubbles.

However, on the other hand, these bubble-like things did not belong to the electric current; they were merely a cage carefully designed by Machima. Chen Lai only accelerated the bursting of the bubble.

On the hospital bed, Dongshan Xiaohong, whose wound had been stitched up, was fast asleep. Chen Lai and Dian Ci sat on the dark wooden chairs for visiting, both silent.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Chen Lai turned to look at Dian Ci:
"Denji, don't waste your time here, go on."

"Ah, where are you going?"

Denji was staring blankly at the ceiling, something he used to do when he was with Pochita, which helped him get through times of hunger.

"When I speak, the first person's image that flashes through your mind is the person you most want to see."

"Some say that before the end of the world, everyone should flip a coin. As it falls, you will remember many, many people, but the beginning and the end will be the same."

"Go find her, Denji. Say everything you want to say without any regrets."

Chen Lai held Dongshan Xiaohong's hand, without looking at the TV, and said calmly.

Is the world about to end?

Electric's focus is always different from that of ordinary people.

"Who knows, maybe a hurricane is sweeping across the Australian coast right now, heading north along the Moluccas towards us." Chen Lai's tone was always so calm that you couldn't tell if he was joking or serious.

"OK then."

Denji stood up, pushed open the door to the ward, and left. He did have people he wanted to see. If the end of the world really came, he wanted to thank Hayakawa Aki for taking care of him, thank Pava for playing with him, and thank Himeno-senpai for teaching him to drink and smoke...

However, the person Dianci most wanted to see was Machima.

If Machima says, "I want Denji to continue being my dog," then Denji will keep licking her palms until the hurricane strikes.

There's no way around it; human nature is just so flawed. You can't forget those who are bad to you, and you don't remember those who are good to you for long. In the end, when you get hurt, it's only your own fault.

In the ward, Chen Lai held Dongshan Xiaohong's hand tightly. He had truly fallen in love with this girl. Their sincerity towards each other was fair enough.

However, Chen Lai is only a high-dimensional projection in this instance. He can influence the operation here, but he has no way to bring Dongshan Xiaohong back to the main world.

Perhaps one day in the future, the two worlds will collide in the deep sea, and he will have the opportunity to take Dongshan Xiaohong away. But how long will that take? Who can say for sure?
Alternatively, Chen Lai could actively induce collisions within the world of "Chainsaw Man," his construct being so powerful as to be unprecedented, even surpassing Yangming, becoming a "god" in a certain sense.

"It must be very difficult."

Chen Lai smiled casually, trying to let go of Dongshan Xiaohong's hand, but she seemed to sense something in her sleep, her hand tightly gripping his fingers, not wanting him to leave.

At the same time, in the player's private chat interface, Zhang Long gave him a real-time update on the location of the Gun Demon. This was easy to determine because the bullet storm it created was sweeping from south to north. So far, the bullet storm had killed more than one million people!
[Reincarnated Dump Truck: Dude, you've gone big. The Gun Demon absorbed half of the American's total lifespan, he's terrifyingly strong now. Are you really confident?]

[Dawei Tianlong: Believe in Japan, believe in Machima!]

[Reincarnated as a dump truck: ?]

Yes! After considering Machima's mechanics and contract, Chen Lai decided to use a borrowed knife to kill someone to achieve his goal.

The Gun Demon wants Denji's heart, but that won't do. Denji can only be Chen Lai's final spoils, and he won't force Denji to hand it over, nor can he. Denji must voluntarily break away from Pochita.

Chen Lai couldn't afford to wait either to confront Machima directly or for the plot to develop naturally to its final stage. He had to accelerate the plot and make the conflicts erupt in a series within a month!
Isn't Machima connected to the lives of all ordinary Japanese people?
That's perfect! Let the Gun Demon, the most lethal being, kill the Japanese in its prime, with complete transparency! It will kill very quickly because the Gun Demon is very strong!

It can kill millions of people within five minutes of landing. Given a day and a night, Chen Lai believes it can wipe out the Japanese!

To save her life and to continue her contract with the Japanese cabinet, Makima has no choice but to confront the threat of the Demon of Guns and fight against it.

After the Gun Demon and Makima are fighting to the death, Denji steps in to save his "lover" and gets the whole truth from her. This ending is a bit cruel for Denji, but it's still better than being roasted with ginger, right?
