Chainsaw Man, starting contract to cut down the Demon Line

"Where are the others? Come and help!"

Ji Ye gritted her teeth and called for help from the others behind her. But when she saw what was behind her, she was stunned.

Apart from Hayakawa Aki who rushed forward, everyone else... actually stood still!

Pawa and Dongshan Xiaohong stood still. The former was because Yan Liang hadn't spoken, which gave her a reason to take advantage of the situation. The latter felt the oppressive aura of the berserk tumor demon and became afraid, so she hid behind Yan Liang.

Meanwhile, Denji was staring blankly at Takahashi Rina, who had been thrown to the ground, his mind a complete mess.

He was still struggling with Rina Takahashi's words, "I love you," and the Tumor Demon's affectionate response.

Denji clutched his head in anguish, lost in deep self-doubt. In his understanding, he had never anticipated things would develop this way. At this moment, he desperately needed an answer.

"My head hurts so much!"

"What's going on... Is that guy out of his mind? That woman cheated on him! And she treats him so badly."

Why is he still going crazy for a woman like that?! I just don't understand!

"Who is the victim here? Which side should I help?"

"I can't tell, I just can't tell!"

In just one day, Denji's pure heart suffered too much damage, and his simple mind was already overloaded.

As for Yan Liang, the team leader, he watched the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere with a calm expression, without any reaction.

"What are you doing?! Get in there!"

Hayakawa Aki, who was fighting the tumor demon ahead, also witnessed this scene and roared angrily:

"Captain! Your abilities haven't cooled down yet, have they?!"

Seeing Hayakawa Aki turn to him for help again, Yan Liang simply shook his head.

"Not yet. No rush," he said calmly.

"But……"

“No buts.” Yan Liang interrupted Hayakawa Aki. “There’s an old saying that goes, ‘A desperate army is bound to win.’”

"This guy is currently in a state of emotional collapse. It's not a wise choice to rush in and confront him head-on."

"Let it kill for a while and wear down its stamina. It won't cause any harm anyway."

Let it...kill for a while?!

Hearing these words, not only Hayakawa Aki, but even Himeno was shocked.

But Yan Liang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

Of course, Yan Liang wasn't really that cruel, wanting to stand by and watch someone die; he simply had his own set of logic:

That is, the human mind is worthy of the suffering they endure.

Those with any sense and who value their lives would have vanished the moment they saw the tumor-ridden man burst out of the bank.

And what about the rest of the people?

Just to watch the spectacle, one can stand comfortably outside the police line, pointing and gesturing at a demon that might go berserk at any moment.

Did they really think they were uninvolved?

Or are they hoping that when a crisis occurs, these demon hunters will actually risk their lives to save them?

Are you kidding me...?

To put it bluntly, if this kind of person doesn't die, who will?

"Help! Officer, please help me!"

Just then, the woman who had been shouting the loudest was now dragging her half-broken, blood-soaked leg as she crawled toward a nearby police officer.

Although the young policeman's legs were trembling with fear, he gritted his teeth, raised his pistol, and aimed it at the rampaging demon, trying to protect the civilians behind him.

"Bang bang bang!"

The bullets hit the demon, but couldn't even break through its defenses.

Attracted by the gunshots, the tumor demon also spotted the policeman and slammed his huge hand down with a whoosh!

At this critical juncture...

"Ugh……"

Yan Liang sighed softly and finally made a move.

While the idiots who stood by and watched were not entirely innocent, the police officers who stood firm at their posts were absolutely innocent.

He pulled his right hand out of his pocket and aimed it at the tumor demon who was about to raise his arm.

Although the demon's current physical damage has not reached the kill threshold of the rule "less than 38% of body parts", and Yan Liang has not formulated any new rules at this time, he can still successfully launch a kill.

The reason is simple.

Rina Takahashi just gave the Tumor Demon orders to steal more money.

The demon's current rampage was essentially a response to the "command," fulfilling the conditions for initiating the killing attack.

Therefore, at this moment, Yan Liang's strategy is: [Anyone not wearing a suit to work will be executed!]

"Snapped."

The crisp snap of fingers echoed through the noisy street, seemingly drowning out all other sounds.

At that moment, an invisible slash swept from the tumor demon's shoulder to his lower back, and a red line appeared as a result.

Immediately following was a loud "Boom!"

The demon's upper body collapsed like a house falling apart. The tumor ruptured, and foul-smelling blood gushed out, staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

"Phew...done it?!"

Upon feeling the power emanating from the transparent arm vanish, even the well-informed Ji Ye couldn't help but gasp in shock.

What terrifying killing power!

Hime had only heard of Yan Liang's killing ability from Hayakawa Aki. At the time, she had even teased Hayakawa Aki about whether he was exaggerating something, but it wasn't until she witnessed it with her own eyes that she realized that this was not a power belonging to ordinary people.

Hayakawa Aki, who had witnessed Yan Liang's ability to cut off enemy lines multiple times, was much better off, but even so, he still unconsciously swallowed. The two of them turned their gazes to the back.

However, even after slaying the tumor demon, Yan Liang's expression remained grim. Looking at the writhing mass of flesh on the ground, he warned the two:

"Don't be careless..."

"It is estimated that it has not lost its fighting capacity yet."

Chapter 55 Yan Liang: Watch me easily tense up

Just as Yan Liang reminded me.

Even after being cut in two, it continued to wriggle on the ground. As its bodies merged, the tumor demon once again used its powerful life force to reassemble its upper and lower body.

However, this forced restructuring also came at a price. Its originally enormous body was shrunk to the size of a car, and the oppressive feeling from before was completely gone.

"Why...why are you stopping me..."

The tumor demon, who had stood up again, spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone filled with uncontrollable grievance.

It roared, staring in the direction of Yan Liang and the others:

“I want to give her the money… I want to take Rina… to get medical treatment…”

Upon hearing this hopeless answer, Denji, who had been trapped in self-doubt, finally broke down.

He pointed at Rina Takahashi, who was lying paralyzed with fear not far away, and cursed loudly:

"Uncle, are you fucking insane?!"

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what she just said?! She called you a piece of trash!"

"She'll be done with you in a minute! She's taking the money you worked so hard to earn to go have sex with your boss!!!"

Dian Ci grew increasingly agitated, the veins on his neck bulging, and he even spat out saliva.

"She treated you like this! She treats you like trash, she wishes you were dead!"

"What are you after?! Why are you still protecting her like this?!"

The streets were a mess, with only the deafening roar of the radio crackling in question.

This was the answer everyone present wanted to know, so much so that even Rina Takahashi, who was lying on the ground, stopped talking and waited with bated breath.

Faced with Denji's roar, the Tumor Demon raised its head.

"You don't understand..."

It spoke weakly. And on that distorted face, a gentle expression appeared when Takahashi Rina was mentioned.

Then, it actually started to seriously defend Rina Takahashi:

"Rina... she's just an insecure little girl..."

"She scolded me because she cares about me."

"She spends my money because she depends on me."

"So even if she betrayed me and slept with someone else, I really can't blame her for anything..."

"Because I understand her, I know... this is also one of Rina's ways of loving me!"

"what???"

As if struck by lightning, Dianci froze completely.

What the hell is this about loving you?!

That's too turtle-like!

Where did this ultimate turtle man come from?!

However, that alone is not enough.

What it said next truly shattered the worldviews of everyone present.

The demon turned its head and looked affectionately at Takahashi Rina, who was completely stunned. It comforted her, saying:

"Rina, don't feel guilty. I've never blamed you..."

"Actually, you met Section Chief Yamada at the social event... I secretly took your phone and gave him your contact information."

"And the day the three of us got together alone after that, you didn't get drunk for no reason either, it was me..."

"I added something to your drink..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including the police officers and others who hadn't managed to escape, fell silent.

Rina Takahashi's pupils dilated in shock. She stared at the monster before her, who claimed to love her, and her voice trembled involuntarily.

"What...what did you say? You did it?"

"But why...why did you do this?!"

Faced with his fiancée's questioning, the tumor-ridden man responded with self-assurance, his tone tinged with loneliness, regret, and remorse, but in the end, only a sense of relief remained:

"Because……"

"Because if you don't do this..."

"If we weren't in this kind of relationship..."

"In bed..."

"I just can't get an erection!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence.

Silence once again.
