I work 9 to 5 in Chainsaw Man

"People always leave something behind and move on, or do they pick up the past and go back?"

Xu Sheng was in a warehouse full of debris, and opposite him was an indescribable weird human figure. The toy-like head made a rattling sound, which made Xu Sheng stretch his ears to hear it clearly.

He knew very well that he was still fighting Ares just now, but the situation at this time obviously had nothing to do with Ares. Xu Sheng immediately wanted to enter the Demon Prisoner Space to check, and asked Clover what was going on.

But the Demon Prisoner Space seemed to not exist. No matter how Xu Sheng shouted in his heart, there was no response.

At this time, the strange figure said the previous words again.

“Human beings always have to leave something behind and move on, or do they have to pick up the past and go back?”

Xu Sheng had no intention of talking nonsense to this guy who was pretending to be a ghost. A black chain appeared in his palm, wrapped around a knife on the ground next to him, and quickly hit the weird humanoid.

The strange humanoid shape was immediately shattered, and its body was scattered all over the ground like toy parts.

He did not choose to strike at close range in order to avoid the opponent having any strange abilities, but Xu Sheng was still careless. When he chose to touch anything here, he was already hit.

In an instant, the strange human form that was crushed by Xu Sheng returned to its original shape, and the knife that had just been bound by Xu Sheng's chain penetrated into his arm.

That's right, it penetrated into the flesh without any warning. There were no wounds or blood stains. The knife climbed up Xu Shengde's arm like a parasite, approaching his heart.

"This is!"

Xu Sheng hurriedly wanted to tear open the flesh and get the blade out, but before he could do it, the blade exploded on his arm, and the blue film that appeared suddenly wrapped it up and tightened.

And the weird humanoid continued: "It seems that you have chosen to move on? But... have you got the things from your past?"

At this time, Xu Sheng couldn't care less about the tightened film. He grabbed the short blade from his waist and slashed towards the strange humanoid.

The strange humanoid figure was split in half, but returned to its original shape in an instant. He said with a strange accent: "Oh, it seems you chose to go there!"

When Xu Sheng heard this, he realized that the short blade in his hand was actually a lone bird that had been broken off long ago and was thrown away somewhere!

He hurriedly threw away the solitary bird, but the solitary bird exploded with a bang, and an even larger blue film enveloped it.

"Ahhh!"

The membrane continued to tighten, and Xu Sheng even felt that his skin and flesh were being stretched with blood marks, his nasal cavity was blocked, and his breathing began to become difficult.

What makes him even more painful is that the scars he has gradually healed in the past are being peeled away by this unknown force!

The deaths of Mezmi and Alice seemed like yesterday, but this time, those memories were clearer, and he even saw Mezmi's blood splattered on his face.

If he had woken up earlier, how could Mazmi have died tragically?

A huge feeling of guilt surged into his heart, like a huge stone pressing on his chest. Painful wails came out of Xu Sheng's mouth, and the blue film tightened.

Just when Xu Sheng was about to die from such a ridiculous attack, the voice that always whispered in his ears sounded again.

"Do you feel hopeless? Does this make you despair?"

Xu Sheng woke up suddenly. The guilt he felt just now controlled his mind, preventing him from thinking about other things. But now he was awakened by the sound and quickly reached out to tear off the film.

But this film was not something that could be torn off by hand. Instead, it tightened even more under Xu Sheng's tugging.

"If you want to break free from this bondage, only pure water can purify it, or let go of the guilt you shouldn't have."

"What do you mean?" Xu Sheng asked.

"Abandon the dead, Chengye Xusheng, your power should not be restricted by the dead, you belong to the future."

"How could you give up on something like that!"

Xu Sheng roared like a trapped animal, he no longer dared to touch anything on the ground.

"How can we get something more precious without giving up, and how can we achieve the highest level by hiding in the shadow of the past? Chengye Xusheng, are you willing to accept your own mediocrity?"

The voice said in a low voice: "Don't you realize that you have become weaker?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Sheng was shocked, he found out.

Of course Xu Sheng knew what was going on with him. After the Charaski incident, Xu Sheng fell into a long-lost sense of panic.

When he came into this world, he gained power beyond the reach of ordinary people. He is both lucky and sad.

From an ordinary person to a "superman" all of a sudden! In this fantasy and magnificent world, everything seems to be telling Xu Sheng that this world belongs to you, do whatever you want.

He decisively joined the KBOG, a violent organization belonging to Saudi Arabia. He enjoyed the pleasure of killing, which made him feel like he was playing an extremely realistic 3D stand-alone action game, and the blood was flowing all over him. The touch on his face was something he couldn't forget.

He gradually lost the kindness and common sense of normal humans, and regarded the things that came into this world as everything.

And when the "NPC" he cared about died in front of him, he discovered for the first time that this was not a game.

Before Alice was about to die, he imagined that he was on a side mission for a prince to save the princess. He had expected Alice's death, but he had not expected the pain in his heart after Alice's death.

It turns out that I was all deceiving myself...

Xu Sheng has never forgotten the past, and the past that he cannot let go has slowly become his weakness. His weakness has become a stumbling block that drags him forward.

When he was fighting Lesai, he clearly felt the decline in his strength. It was not the weakening of strength or the decline of speed, but the weakening of the spirit, the will to defeat the opponent to the death.

Xu Sheng is no longer the perfect demon hunter who goes forward without any scruples. He begins to care about everything around him, even strangers he has never met. When his life is in danger, Xu Sheng will still protect him.

He became humane and gained a view of good and evil, but at the same time he also hung a chain called morality on himself.

A beast bound by chains, a beast that is about to lose its bestiality, what is there to be afraid of?

"Do you already know what you have given up?"

Xu Sheng shook his head in confusion.

"Then go back and have a look, look at your past, and find out what the things you gave up are. Remember, if you are confused, don't take action..."
