I work 9 to 5 in Chainsaw Man

Alice's world is fixed at sunrise on the banks of the Moco River.

She is dead.

Alice saved a lot of money, and according to the will prepared in advance, half was given to Takagi, and the other half was given by Takagi to the companions who had formed a team with her.

Xu Sheng found the boy playing the cello and used Alice's cornea to give him a second chance of seeing.

Takagi buried Alice and Mazmi together. Takagi had already expected Xu Sheng to take out Mazmi's body, but it was too sad to talk about it.

In the cemetery, standing next to Takagi, Xu Sheng felt that it was not Alice and Mazmi who were buried inside, but Takagi.

The two died with endless pain, and those who survived also lived with regret and remorse, miserably living in the world, praying for the sun to rise tomorrow.

Alice's house became vacant, and Takagi changed the name on the property certificate to Rick's name. Rick and Ava, the two children adopted by Alice, were brought back home by Xu Sheng. Fortunately, Dudalinov The house given this time was large enough for both Vera and Maxim to live in, and there were still a few vacant rooms.

Xu Sheng took Takagi to his home, and he did not refuse. After all, except for those photos, Takagi now had nothing.

Xu Sheng did not go back to work, and Dudalinov did not call him. He took Takagi, Vera, and Maxim to wander around, eating all the nearby food courts and buying many games. I play at home, and when I’m tired, I go to the movies. I watch all kinds of movies, and I’m not picky.

Vera only lived in Xu Sheng's house occasionally, but she still had people who cared about her. Xu Sheng, Takagi, and Maxim were like refugees hugging each other for warmth.

Xu Sheng began to suffer from insomnia. He tossed and turned in bed for several days, unable to fall asleep. When he couldn't fall asleep, he would get up and sit on the sofa for a while.

Every time he went, Takagi was there and he couldn't sleep.

They sat on the sofa one after another, looking at each other in silence.

Takagi seemed to have something to say, but he never said it. The moonlight was quiet, and the moonlight shining down could illuminate the corners of Takagi's eyes.

Xu Sheng closed his eyes.

Hearing that traveling can ease the grief of a friend's death, Xu Sheng planned to take everyone on a trip to Hawaii.

But the plan soon fell through.

Xu Sheng, Vera, Chi Ke, and Maxim rushed to Dudalinov's office after dressing up in Kberg's special clothes.

"Although it's bad to bother you at this time, you are really needed for this mission."

Dudarinov looked worried, with thick dark circles under his eyes.

Xu Sheng didn't want to speak, Vera didn't dare to speak, Maxim couldn't speak, and Chi Ke had to speak, so he had to ask: "Captain, what's the mission?"

Dudalinov rubbed his eyebrows and said: "The new leader of the underground bounty hall, Alexander Yelena, protect her and then kill her."

Listening to the conflicting mission requirements, Chi Ke did not express his position and waited for the follow-up.

Dudalinov continued: "The four ancient demons have been learned from the descendants of the emperor who sealed the deep sea demon a hundred years ago. Among them, the sand demon was killed by Xu Sheng, the swamp demon was captured by Chi Ke, and only Xue remained. The Demon of Snow and the Demon of Flow are still outside, and this Snow Demon has been imprisoned by Alexander's descendants. Every half century, one of his descendants is given the body to bear the power of the demon. Now, the body of the Demon of Snow is being imprisoned. It’s Alexander Yelena.”

"The Balika team sent before was forcibly captured. The power of the Snow Demon overflowed, eroding Yelena's consciousness in a short time and wiping out the entire team. The Demon of Flow has broken through the seal and is trying to find a way to fight with the same ancient demon. The Demons of Snow have gathered together, your task is to protect Yelena to a Kberg stronghold outside Moko, attract the Demon of Flow along the way, destroy it, and when you get to the stronghold, kill Yelena and take out the heart."

"You want us to deal with two ancient demons!?"

As a survivor of the crusade against the swamp demons, Chi Ke is well aware of the power of ancient demons. With their team facing two ancient demons, even if Xu Sheng is powerful, they will probably be wiped out.

"No, your mission is to escort Yelena to the Moko stronghold and use her to attract the demon of flow." Dudalinov corrected.

"But then wouldn't we still face the danger of being surrounded by two ancient demons?"

Chi Ke was extremely sensitive to this obvious danger, especially when he was performing the mission with Xu Sheng and others, who were his recognized companions. For the first time, he went against Dudalinov.

"I can accept it, but I have a condition." Xu Sheng said suddenly.

Chi Ke pursed his lips and stepped back. After all, Xu Sheng's title was the team leader.

Dudarinov raised his eyebrows and asked: "What conditions?"

Xu Sheng said bluntly: "I don't need teammates, I only need to perform the task alone."

"No!" "No!"

Chi Ke and Dudalinov said at the same time.

"The escort mission is such a big deal, how can you carry it out alone!"

"Xu Sheng, are you worried that we will hold you back?"

Xu Sheng said without squinting: "No need, I am enough."

The three people expressed their opinions, and the scene became tense.

Dudarinov finally frowned and said: "This matter is not that simple. Originally, this mission was to be handed over to the first team of Balikaqin where Ogochi was located, but he caused such a big mess and cannot be allowed to do so for the time being. He appeared outside, and Biak of the second team was transferred to St. Deburg, and your team is the only one who can adequately protect Yelena and escape unharmed after seducing the ancient demon."

"Moreover, this was personally ordered by President Proseus."

After listening to her words, Chi Ke fell into rare silence.

Xu Sheng stared into Dudalinov's eyes and said, "So, what help will you give us?"

Dudalinov said with an expression like you are a kid on the road: "The mission is dangerous. You are not allowed to fly on this journey. If Vera is willing, you can replace her. I have applied for two members of the first team to join temporarily. Your team is on a mission, and when you get close to Moko, I will send Yevkani with the third team and the fourth team to pick you up."

Seeing that Dudalinov had made all arrangements, Xu Sheng did not refuse. After accepting the task, he left Kberg and went to prepare.

When the office was empty, Dudalinov stared indifferently at a painting facing him, pinched the pen into a twisted shape with his fingertips, and murmured in a low voice.

"Koros, I hope you didn't do this, otherwise, I won't let you go this time."
