"shark?!"

Wu Yue raised his voice slightly and shouted again. Half a head floated out from the ground in front of him and looked at Wu Yue.

Although the position of the shark demon's eyes was very similar to the tip of a shark's snout, for some reason, Wu Yue could clearly feel the pitiful look in the shark demon's eyes. This pitiful look also carried a charming charm.

[Ding~ The shark demon is feeling uncomfortable. The system rewards 20 points.]

"Wu... Lord Wu Yue..."

The Shark Demon's voice was soft.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Wu Yue asked in confusion when he heard the system prompt.

"No...no...Lord Wu Yue...I...I...I can't go to heaven...Can...Can you..."

The Shark Demon's words were intermittent, and the following words became softer and softer, until the last few words were almost inaudible, and Wu Yue did not hear clearly.

"Oh, by the way, I heard you mention before that you were very hungry, right? Well, let's consider it as a reward for your help. I'll take you to have a meal now. It's almost lunchtime, so it's okay to be lazy for a while."

The shark demon was stunned at first, then realized that Wu Yue did not hear clearly what she said next. Out of shame, she immediately nodded and quickly dived back into the ground.

On the street, Wu Yue looked at the various shops on both sides. The shark demon followed behind him, lurking in the ground with only half of its shark fin exposed.

Wu Yue chose a sushi restaurant, looked up at the sign, pushed the door open and walked in. The waiter in the restaurant welcomed him.

“Welcome~”

There was still an hour until 12 o'clock, and there were not too many customers in the sushi restaurant, so it was quite quiet.

Wu Yue ordered two largest-portion sushi sets, then sat down in a corner by the window, waiting for the sushi to be served.

The shark demon hid under the table, his head floated out of the ground, his little face flushed, and he was breathing heavily.

She really couldn't stand it anymore, so she reached out to pull Wu Yue's pants.

“Welcome~”

The shop door was gently pushed open and Anbian Xu walked in.

Chapter 172 Assist Me

Anbian Xu pushed open the door and walked in. She didn't see Wu Yue was here, so she walked towards another empty seat.

Her high heels made a "click-click" sound, and she looked very capable and elegant. Every time she walked, the hair hanging behind her head swayed slightly back and forth, and she sat down on the seat.

After sitting down, Kishibe Oo took out a portable stainless steel wine bottle from his pocket, opened the cap skillfully, put the bottle mouth to his lips and started drinking. The waiter came out from the kitchen and walked over to Kishibe Oo with a menu.

"Captain Kishibe Oo?"

Wu Yue's shout startled the shark demon under the table. He immediately retracted his hand and quickly hid back on the ground.

Kishibe Xu was talking to the waiter. When he heard Wu Yue's voice, he paused for a moment, but the next second he continued talking to the waiter as if nothing had happened, pretending not to hear it.

When Wu Yue saw the waiter leave, he simply stood up and walked to where An Bianxu was sitting.

"Captain Kishibe? Is it really you? What a coincidence, can we share a table?"

Kishibe Xu behaved very coldly, as if she wanted to keep a distance from Wu Yue deliberately. She just glanced at Wu Yue, and nodded slightly to show her agreement with Wu Yue's words, uttering a simple "hmm".

[Ding~ Anbianxu's troublesome emotions are detected, the system rewards 10 points. 】

Wu Yue could also sense Anbian Xu's unusual attitude. Through the system, he felt that Anbian Xu seemed to be keeping a certain distance from him intentionally or unintentionally.

However, it is understandable that Kishibe Oo's status and position in the public security are the same as Makima's, but she is in charge of different duties. She must also know that Wu Yue is a man.

And he probably knows that Wu Yue has special attack abilities against women in this world. His brain will be in a mess if he has physical contact with them for more than three seconds. But just by listening to Wu Yue's voice and looking at Wu Yue's face, he will have some reaction, so this is the case.

"It should be a while before lunch break, right? How dare you be lazy and absent from work at this time? Be careful or I will deduct your salary."

Anbian said to Wu Yue, poking the floor with the heel of her high heels.

"Shark Demon, you have left your work area and your behavior is on the verge of getting out of control. If you are serious, I can deal with you right now."

A whimpering sound came from under the floor, and then a hand stretched out from the floor and tightly grabbed Wu Yue's trouser leg.

[Ding~ The shark demon's fear is detected, and the system rewards 20 points. 】

Wu Yue was stunned.

"Ah? But isn't Captain Kishibe O also lazing around in the restaurant like me?"

Kishibe Oo held the bottle of wine in his hand, crossed his legs and looked out the window.

"We have different identities and responsibilities. My rest time is different from yours. Noon is lunch time, but for me it's work time. It seems that Machima is very lenient with you and has never told you about this."

Wu Yue didn't know what to say, he really didn't know this.

What Makima meant to him was that he just had to be responsible for the security of the patrol area and solve sudden demon incidents in a timely manner. Even if he didn't encounter one, a police officer would notify you to come over. It was okay to be a little lazy during normal times.

"But considering your special situation, I won't bother with you too much. Just tell me directly, does that guy Machima have any other requests?"

Wu Yue shook his head.

"It's not Miss Makima's business. I just have something I want to ask you."

"Um, what?"

"I want to know if there is any way to get in touch with the Dark Devil. Our public security department should have relevant information, right?"

In the second part of Chainsaw Man, the public security department has a root-level demon, the Aging Demon, who is the same as the Dark Demon, and they have a cooperative relationship.

Currently, the highest-ranking person in the public security field that Wu Yue can contact is An Bian Xu. Logically, she should know about this matter.

After Wu Yue finished speaking, Anbian Xu didn't react at all. He just drank his wine and looked out the window.

Wu Yue thought that Anbian Xu didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again.

"Is this difficult? In fact, it doesn't necessarily have to be the Dark Demon. The Aging Demon is fine, or other root demons are fine."

Only then did Anbian Xu turn his head and look at Wu Yue.

"Well, it turns out it wasn't an auditory hallucination."

"Hey, whether it's an illusion or not, at least there should be some reaction."

"No, the root demons are not something that can be simply described with common words like 'demon' or 'monster'. The public security department has very few records on them. I'm afraid your idea will fail."

Wu Yue felt that the answer given by Kishibe Xu was acceptable. After all, the existence of the root demon was too special. Under normal circumstances, ordinary demon hunters were not qualified to understand these things.

"Then I...uh...can I trade something else with you?"

Kishibe Osamu waved his hand in response. "I've already said it, it's useless."

"Don't rush to refuse. Listen to me first. I'll tell you what happened in Tokyo and Kyoto before, and then tell you what the situation is like outside now, including why you are trapped here and can't get out."

The movements of Kishibe Oo's hands, who was drinking, suddenly stopped for a moment, but just like before, after only a moment, he continued drinking as usual without saying a word the whole time.

Then Wu Yue told all his experiences with angels and demons, as well as his guesses. Of course, some scenes of fierce "battles" with angels and demons were deleted.

They talked for more than half an hour, and the sushi came up in the middle. The shark demon hid under the table and ate the sushi in big mouthfuls.

Anbian Xu finally spoke up and interrupted Wu Yue.

"Okay, stop talking. If you really have a problem with your brain, then you'd better not do this job as a demon hunter, otherwise you will die sooner or later."

After saying that, Anbian Xu shook the bottle of wine in his hand.

"Oh no, listening to your nonsense here, my bottle of wine is empty so quickly."

Kishibe Oo stood up and walked straight to the counter of the sushi restaurant.

"Excuse me, do you have any wine for sale?"

Wu Yue sat opposite, first staring blankly at An Bianxu's back, then turned his gaze to the bustling crowd outside the window.

"Eh...? What's going on? Did I say something wrong? This shouldn't be the case."

After a while, Kishibe Xu came back. The bottle of wine in her hand was gone, replaced by a pen and a notebook, and she sat down again.

"I'm serious about what I just told you. I hope you can think about it carefully. Judging from your current condition, you are not really suitable to continue working as a demon hunter. And for demon hunters who choose to retire due to mental problems, our Public Security Office has a corresponding subsidy policy."

As he spoke, Anbian Xu wrote a line of words on a piece of paper, picked it up, and Wu Yue took a look.

"Machima is monitoring our conversation, communicating on paper. I can promise you that I will find a way to get you in touch with the Dark Devil, but I have one more request, and that is to help me kill Machima."

Chapter 173 I am very shy, so I stay on the ground

【Help me kill Makima. 】

"Retire? But I'm not even 25 yet? If I retire so early... Oh, that's not right, that's not the point. Let me reiterate, Captain Kishibe Oo, I'm not mentally ill, you misunderstood."

Wu Yue and Anbian Xu started chatting verbally, while the other took the paper and pen and started writing on it. The two began to truly communicate through the paper.

【Why? Now? 】

[You should know Machima's identity, right? His true identity is the ruling demon. 】

【Know. 】

[I believe everything you just said, because it can explain a lot of things, the ruined city outside, the differences in some details in everyone's memory, and the golden light that caused all this. There are many cases, but these things can only be solved later. What must be done now is to kill Machima. It is likely that it was because of the golden light. Machima used this to control all the upper-level people in Kyoto.]

Wu Yue looked at the contents on the paper. It would be a lie to say that he was not shocked. The plot was very different from the original novel.

[You mean, Ms. Makima is now the top decision-maker in Tokyo and Kyoto? ]

[Well, that's it. The recent series of strange requests were all made by Makima through the group of old women who dominate Kyoto. This is not a solution, so I must find a chance to kill her and let a dominant demon stand at the top of humanity. The future ending must be the destruction of all mankind.]

Wu Yue took the paper and didn't know how to start writing for a moment.

Makima is now the pinnacle of humanity, and has absolute control...

In the original work, because she is the dominant demon, for Makima, there is only an unequal concept of superiors and subordinates between her and other people, or other demons.

Therefore, what Makima wants most is an equal relationship. The concept of equality exists, and the ultimate goal is to create a perfect world where everyone is equal, without death, war, hunger, and other negative things.

This is also the reason why she and Ji He have a bad relationship.

In the original work, Makima wanted to realize her ideal world through the power of the chainsaw demon, but this world is obviously not like this now. No matter how you look at it, Makima most likely wants to achieve this goal through Wu Yue, relying on the conceptual power of men.

Why do you say it is a high probability?

Because Makima would feel disgust towards Wu Yue from time to time. According to the original book, if Makima liked Wu Yue, she should not have such an emotion.

Wu Yue couldn't figure out what was going on.

This is different from the original, so the positioning of Makima in Wu Yue is very unclear. She is not necessarily the ultimate villain as in the original.

In addition, Makima achieves her goals by utilizing and cultivating various demons. Although her original intention is to create a better world, her means and methods are full of desire for control and domination, which is quite ironic.

Wu Yue thought about it for a long time before writing it down on paper.

[I...I can't promise you yet.]

【Why?】

[Because I have a date with Miss Makima tomorrow. ]

——Ding~ The system detected that Anbian Xu was shocked, and awarded 20 points. ——

Anbian Xu was stunned for a moment and looked at Wu Yue with a blank expression.

【Is your brain broken? 】

Wu Yue took a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth, eating while writing.

[No matter what, I won't agree to your request, at least not now. If it really doesn't work, forget it. I don't have to find the Dark Devil.]

After Wu Yue finished writing, he handed the paper to Anbianxu. Anbianxu looked at the note, then looked at Wu Yue, and spoke.

"Well, there really is something wrong with your brain. I really don't know what is controlling you to make you tell such a nonsensical joke."

She also started eating sushi. Neither of them spoke. Wu Yue looked at Anbian Xu. He couldn't see any expression on her face, nor did he know what she was thinking.

After eating, Kishibe Oo started writing on the paper again.

[You can reconsider it. I have a lot of things that I haven't prepared yet. I still have some time. If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. I will think of a way to deal with the Dark Devil. There should be news tonight. If you have nothing to do tonight, stay at home and don't walk around.]

【Thank you, sorry for the trouble. 】

【fine. 】

"Let's stop here with the joke. Don't be lazy again."

Anbianxu cleaned up the table, paid the bill, and left. Wu Yue watched her push open the door and disappear from his sight, his mind empty.

At this moment, Wu Yue suddenly noticed something under the table gently pulling on his trouser leg. He looked down and saw it was the shark demon.

She looked up at Wu Yue pitifully and spoke softly.
