I work 9 to 5 in Chainsaw Man

Xu Sheng had just led Alice and Wuyeso to escape from the attack of the two golden guards. The sound of treading on the ground gradually approaching in his ears was like a blade constantly urging Xu Sheng to move forward.

Even though he was running away in a hurry, Xu Sheng's perception was still clear. He could clearly feel that the footsteps behind him had changed from messy to clean and orderly.

Xu Sheng would not believe that the statues would move forward uniformly. The only possibility was that the two statues would move separately again.

Xu Sheng pursed his lips and immediately changed lanes.

Xu Sheng roughly figured out the purpose of the statue's movement. As long as the speed was briefly accelerated and several corners were passed in a row, he could get rid of them. But the problem was also here. With the unconscious Alice and Wuyeso, Xu Sheng could turn around. It is already very difficult to keep moving forward under such circumstances, and it is simply impossible to get rid of the golden guard.

The violent exercise gradually made Xu Sheng a little exhausted. If he didn't get rid of it, he would not have the strength to escape again when the statue caught up with him.

Thinking of this, the anger in Xu Sheng's heart also began to dissipate. From when Vera's body was taken away to now when he was running away, Xu Sheng just moved forward with one breath.

But the endless hope made him gradually tired, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart saying: "Stop insisting, leave Alice and Uyeso, otherwise none of you will be able to escape, and you will be in such a dangerous situation." , even if others find out, it’s hard to say anything, so why should you risk your life for these two trolls?”

That voice gradually turned into reality, like a devil lying on Xu Sheng's shoulder and whispering: "What are you still hesitating about? You have wanted to leave them behind, right?"

Xu Sheng's speed slowed down, his expression gloomy.

"Shirono Xusheng, you are different from them. You are a unique individual. Your great legend has just been written, because it is totally not worth the lives of two losers!"

As he spoke, the demon clung to Xu Sheng's back, and its fingers slowly wrapped around Xu Sheng like black threads, gathering towards his heart.

"Come on, let go. The Golden Guard is about to catch up. If you don't let go, you won't be able to escape."

"Leave them alone!"

"Leave them alone!"

"Leave them alone..."

Xu Sheng repeated these words aimlessly, and his grip on Alice gradually loosened.

Yes, I have rescued them from the Golden Guard. I have done my best. I have nothing to do with Uyeso. They are just strangers who cooperated for a short time. I have also saved Alice. It doesn't matter if I leave her alone once...

Sometimes there are countless reasons to give up.

Snapped!

The stone hit young Xu Sheng on the head, and his weak body immediately fell to the ground.

"Xu Sheng!" The cute girl with two braids next to her immediately helped Xu Sheng up.

"Hahaha, everyone, look, I'm just telling you that that sick man, any stone can make him fall!" A boy who was much stronger than Xu Sheng stretched out his fingers and laughed.

"I don't believe it, let me try it too!"

"I'm coming too!"

The other two companions also picked up stones and threw them towards Xu Sheng.

"What are you doing! Don't you know Xu Sheng is not in good health?" the girl scolded.

"Lin Shu, please stop interfering. Adults say that if you are sick, just give him a beating. We are here to help Xu Sheng treat his illness!"

As he spoke, the boy picked up another stone and threw it over.

"Xu Sheng, let's go!"

Lin Shu grabbed Xu Sheng, who was already crying and ran away.

Three boys each grabbed a handful of stones and chased them.

Pebbles flew in. The child didn't know the severity. Pebbles of various sizes were thrown over. Some of them hit Xu Sheng, but more of them hit Lin Shu.

Xu Sheng was weak, so Lin Shu ran behind him, pushing him forward.

This childhood memory is one of the few times Xu Sheng spent running in his previous life.

Lin Shu's face was a little blurry even now, maybe because he had been lying in the hospital bed for too long. In fact, it was Xu Sheng who had earned the opportunity to live a new life. He was able to experience things that he had never been able to do in his previous life, and he made friends with a group of different people. A friend who is too normal, has his own house and car, has a stable and exciting job, and has superhuman strength...

Is there anything he's not satisfied with?

Silently recalling Lin Shu's hand holding his hand tightly and trying his best to protect himself.

Is this a companion?

Sometimes there are countless reasons to give up.

But one reason is enough!

The black thread that was about to be inserted into Xu Sheng's heart disappeared instantly, and the demon attached to Xu Sheng's back let out a mournful cry.

Xu Sheng's eyes returned to firmness, he held Alice tightly, dragged his heavy legs and continued to move forward, without looking at the demon that was gradually dissipating, and said: "Alice and the others were also done by you, right? Greed!"

The wailing demon phantom kept twisting and roaring: "Chengye Xusheng! How is this possible, you guy!"

"You just rely on illusions and small language guidance to seduce the greed deep in human beings' hearts, and then erode their souls, right?" Xu Sheng saw through Wuyeso's state and analyzed.

"Chengye Xusheng, I'm waiting for you at the mansion!" The demon howled for the last time, and then disappeared from the world.

"I will go find you, devil!" Xu Sheng silently changed his direction, clutched the cloth bag of soul fragments tied around his waist, and charged towards the mansion.

And the footsteps behind him are already very close!

Xu Sheng had no strength to look back anymore. He gritted his teeth and sprinted with all his strength!

Just when Xu Sheng thought he was about to be overtaken, the footsteps behind him suddenly became smaller and smaller, and finally even disappeared.

Xu Sheng's last trace of strength also disappeared, and he fell directly to the ground.

"Are you okay?"

A middle-aged uncle walked up to Xu Sheng and asked, "Can you still stand up?"

Xu Sheng raised his head and immediately recognized that this was the Proson who reminded him before the vegetation riot, so he said: "It's okay."

Prosen stretched out his arms to hug Xu Sheng, and arranged Alice and Wuyeso as well.

"Did you lure away the statue just now?" Xu Sheng asked.

Prosen took a breath of dry smoke and said, "My companion will be back soon."

Immediately afterwards, Spike's shadow floated over panting and said: "What a difficult guy, but they were confused."

"Well, it's right here." Prosenun said.

Xu Sheng looked at Spike. Spike saw the familiar combat uniform on Xu Sheng. He excitedly put on a military posture and said: "Kerberg Intelligence Agent, Spike is reporting to you!"
