I work 9 to 5 in Chainsaw Man

Chapter 157 The awe of life

With two corpses on his back, Xu Sheng used the remaining spell power to restore his body. He did not return to the town until nightfall and found Takagi and others who were camping in the ruins.

Mezmi went to find firewood, Sashaman was making broth, and Takagi was talking to an old man.

Xu Sheng walked over, threw the two corpses on the ground, and went straight to the broth.

"I can smell it from so far away. It smells so good! Give me a sip!"

"It's not cooked yet!"

Sashaman pushed aside the anxious Xu Sheng and said, "Is it solved?"

Xu Sheng pointed his hand behind him.

"Where's Bonsi?"

"Also in the back."

Sashaman understood. As for condemning Xu Sheng? This is something that should give Takagi a headache.

Xu Sheng stared at the broth, thoughtfully.

When Wanke just died, Clover impatiently called Xu Sheng into the Demon Prisoner's Space, saying that Wanke was a high-quality demon and there was a high probability of gaining new abilities by eating him.

But Xu Sheng really couldn't eat a "human" corpse. Now he was thinking about whether to cut off Vanke's fingers and throw them into the hot soup. Then he would be fine if he drank the soup with his eyes closed, but he was afraid Sashaman and the others disagree...

After imagining the scene where Takagi was furious because his finger fell out after drinking soup, Xu Sheng suddenly thought that it was better to forget it. He didn't want to be nagged by Takagi.

The old man who was talking to Takagi looked over, stared blankly at Vanke among the two corpses, and asked blankly: "Have you dealt with the devil?"

Takagi also looked back and said, "Well, Wan..."

"The devil has been dealt with. These two people were caught by the devil and killed to threaten me. Fortunately, the devil has been beaten to a pulp by me, and the corpses are gone."

Xu Sheng stepped forward and explained, glancing at the nervous old man.

"Is it... solved?" The old man said with a smile: "Well done, this murderous demon deserves to die..."

Takagi understood Xu Sheng's overtone, but still felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange. He walked between the two and introduced: "This old man is Atwood, the resident who provided us with clues about Vanke. This This is my companion, Chengye Xusheng, who is also a member of the Kberg."

"Nice to meet you." Atwood stretched out his hand, but Xu Sheng was still looking at him with squinted eyes, making Atwood sweatdrop on his forehead.

Takagi leaned towards Xu Sheng's ear with a black line: "They just brought us two jugs of good wine."

"Nice to meet you!"

Xu Sheng smiled like a flower, grabbed Atwood's palm with both hands, and thanked him vigorously.

Atwood was confused, and Takagi hid his face and said to himself: "I don't know him, I don't know him..."

A few people stood around the bonfire, eating broth and drinking wine, which was considered happy. Atwood left with a heavy heart after dinner.

Takagi took out the tent and bedding from the pocket devil. Sashaman and Mazmi yawned and went to bed first. Xu Sheng and Takagi sat around the campfire. The firelight reflected their cheeks red, and Takagi warmed his hands. : "I'll just keep vigil from now on, but I won't be able to keep vigil tomorrow."

"Why?" said Xu Sheng, who was still sipping the wine.

"cost."

Xu Sheng stopped talking.

After a while, Takagi suddenly said: "I saw the bodies of Vanke and Bangxi. You killed them, right?"

Xu Sheng did not deny it and nodded.

"I can understand that you don't want the townspeople to know that Vanke is a demon, but why do you want to kill Bonsi? He is just an ordinary person."

Xu Sheng argued: "He is a scumbag. He repays kindness with hatred. Besides, let's just say that Vanke killed him."

Takagi added a handful of firewood and said, "We are the official KBOG demon hunters..."

When Xu Sheng heard this preface, he showed an expression of despair, obviously he had passed it countless times.

"Our duty and task is to protect the people of Saudi Arabia from harm by demons. What we have to do is to kill the demons and save the people..."

"Even if he is a scumbag?" Xu Sheng stared into Takagi's eyes and asked seriously.

Takagi's black pupils were filled with burning flames: "I bet ten bottles of vodka that when you killed him, you had no idea that he was a scumbag."

"Tch, it's boring."

Xu Sheng rested his elbows on the back of his head and looked up at the stars.

Takagi was still talking: "Xu Sheng, among the people you know, except for the captain, I have known you the longest. You are the product of the devil's experiment. You have everything a human has, three views, Emotions, IQ, needs, but only when I first met you.”

Xu Sheng turned his head and looked over.

"In the past six months, your strength has grown rapidly for all to see. Others may only see how strong you are, but I can see that you are constantly missing something."

"I don't lack anything." Xu Sheng retorted.

Takagi ignored his harsh words and said, "You are losing your respect for life."

Xu Sheng was silent.

Takagi and Xu Sheng lay down side by side and said: "You start not to care about the lives of others, and gradually think that their deaths have nothing to do with you. You gradually no longer feel sad for the loss of life of the people around you, as if you have lost your heart."

Xu Sheng looked at the starry sky. He felt that what Takagi said was right or wrong. His heart seemed to have become cold. The demons killed too many, which seemed to make him feel that the lives of ordinary people seemed to be just that.

They're used to it anyway.

They are used to the fact that if they accidentally go out on the street every day, they may encounter the devil who takes their lives.

Demon hunters are used to fighting with demons, and the fierce aftermath may kill them.

Xu Sheng didn't feel anything about killing Bang Xi, just like he accidentally stepped on an insect. He didn't have the heart to care about why the insect blocked his way, even though the insect didn't want to go like this.

He also thought that if Vera, Maxim, Alice, Chi Ke, if they died, he would be sad, right?

He tried hard to imagine the scene of their death without feeling a trace of sadness, but the sudden imagination shocked himself.

After they died, how could my heart not have any fluctuations? !

Xu Sheng suddenly sat up and covered his heart with both hands. He once lived a comfortable life, and now he also experienced the exciting days of licking blood from the edge of a knife. But at this moment, he discovered that something he had never cared about was quietly leaving. own mind.

Maybe like Takagi said, he lost his respect for life.

Xu Sheng stood up and walked towards the forest.
