Chapter 226 Various Forces (Original)

Soon, a week passed by.

The new serialization of "Chainsaw Man" has also arrived directly.

As a loyal fan, Zhou Wenwei went to the familiar newspaper kiosk after get off work as usual.

"Uncle! Same old thing! Give me a comic book magazine!"

Zhou Wenwei said to the owner of the newspaper kiosk.

"no problem!"

The newspaper kiosk owner skillfully found the latest issue of Manga magazine again and handed it to Zhou Wenwei.

"Young man, you are still unbeatable."

He also said with some emotion, "But it seems that this comic magazine is very popular recently. It is often sold out within a weekend, and there are still children who continue to come to me and ask about this."

"Yeah, this magazine is really popular recently."

Zhou Wenwei nodded and said.

After recently serializing the phenomenally popular novella "Edgewalker" in Manga Comics, two more popular full-length comics have appeared one after another.

"Protoss" and "Chainsaw Man"!

Of these two works, "Chainsaw Man", which is known as the second masterpiece of the newcomer manga artist Aoyama who preceded "Edge Walker", naturally attracted more attention from everyone.

Even in the first week after "Chainsaw Man" was serialized, it rushed into the top five most popular comics of that week.

This is enough to prove that everyone's expectations for "Chainsaw Man" are full.

However, "Protoss" was not favored by anyone at the beginning. It went from being a work that no one cared about to being the third most popular one, overtaking "Chainsaw Man".

Just like Yang Mingfei, the protagonist of "Gods", he has gone from an ordinary bad boy that no one pays attention to, to an "S" class hybrid that attracts everyone's attention among monsters!

And it just so happens that the settings of gods in "Protoss" correspond to the settings of demons in the world view of "Chainsaw Man".

So everyone is jokingly calling the competition between "Protoss" and "Chainsaw Man", including the competition between fan groups, jokingly calling it Gods vs. Demons.

However, the competition between the two popular comics has boosted the sales of comics magazines.

Although Manga Magazine itself is the leader in the comics industry, its sales are already very good.

But who would think that their sales are not good enough?

Moreover, the Republic is backed by a billion-dollar market. Unless sales have already reached billions, there is still room for improvement in sales.

"Then I will buy more goods next."

The newspaper kiosk owner suddenly smiled and said.

"I wish your business is prosperous, uncle!"

Zhou Wenwei smiled and congratulated, then took the magazine and went home.

After grabbing a can of Coke from the refrigerator, he sat down in his room and opened the magazine.

He first went to watch this week's serialization of "Chainsaw Man".

This time, a brand new force appeared on the screen.

In a world of ice and snow, a man and a woman were hunting foxes in the wild with bows and arrows.

"Master, is there any point in hunting foxes?"

The man said to the woman.

"Torik, do you feel like ending a life with your own hands?"

asked the woman on the side.

"Well...I just felt the vibration of the bowstring."

The man responded at this time.

"Yeah?"

The woman with several moles on her face asked a thoughtful question and said.

Then, the fox that appeared in the picture disappeared in an instant, was shot and fell into a pool of blood.

"Toric, do you feel like you have ended a life with your own hands?"

The woman asked again this time.

"I need it at home, so I peeled it."

The man said calmly, "Nothing special..."

Then the man stewed the fox's meat.

In the warm house, the woman continued to ask, "Torik, do you feel like killing a fox?"

"No."

Torik answered honestly this time.

"Yeah?"

Only then did the woman say, "Torik, our mission this time is not to be a demon hunter... What we want to kill this time is this 16-year-old boy."

She took out Denji's photo and showed it to Torik.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Torik still looked at the photo as if he had no emotion at all and said.

"An enemy again? But where is this? Ice and snow... is it Russia?"

Zhou Wenwei looked at the plot in the comic and said with sudden enlightenment.

"Torik, what we did to the fox must be done again to this 16-year-old boy."

The woman looked at Torik and said expressionlessly.

But this time Torik was a little moved.

Because this time it meant that he was not killing a fox, but one of the same kind...

people.

The woman then said mercilessly, "Kill him."

"Tear out his heart."

"This is what we do for a living."

The skinned fox appeared in the picture, which clearly indicated that Torik's next work would be like this.

It's just that the object becomes a person.

This is why the woman just asked Torik if he felt anything.

In the cartoon screen, after a long period of silence visible to the naked eye, the man finally said——

"Master, I can."

At the same time, in the next voice of Torik, he said——

"The people above have agreed."

"As long as this mission is completed, Master will no longer need to be a demon hunter..."

"Master still has the last half year of his life."

"I hope that Master can spend the rest of his life in peace."

So that's how it is...

Zhou Wenwei understood immediately that demon hunters are people who use themselves to make contracts with demons to fight.

The woman in front of him, who was called Master by Torik, was basically the same as Hayakawa Aki.

In order to fight the demons, she also traded too much with the demons, and in the end she only had half her life left.

Then the scene suddenly turned to a street that looked quite traditional and had a flower-growing culture.

It had a flavor of the legacy of the previous dynasty. (Corrected background)

Then a scene that shocked Zhou Wenwei appeared, on a big bed, five women hugged each other.

It's just that their appearances were not normal people, and they all looked strange.

The woman in the middle had short silver-white hair and an eye patch on her right eye.

This was exactly the same as...the dead Ji Ye senior.

"Halloween, Halloween!"

"Guang Xi is awesome!"

At this moment, a pale, zombie-like person wearing the clothes of a former official appeared in front of their bed with a photo.

"It's time to go to the Magic City and bring back this chainsaw man."

"What's the benefit?"

The woman called Guangxi looked at him and asked.

"This mission is the most dangerous one so far."

The official said, "The Marshal said he would try his best to meet your requirements."

Guangxi immediately said to the women beside him, "Ladies, tell me your wishes."

"Great!"

"I want 100 donuts!"

The dark gray-haired girl said with a smile. If you look closely, she actually has a ponytail on her head that looks like an eel with eyes and a mouth that can make expressions.

"Blood..."

The girl with dark red hair, red horns similar to Pava on her head, and handcuffs on her hands said at this time.

"Halloween!"

The pink-haired girl, who looked more scary, said at this time.

She saw that the right half of her skull was missing, revealing her brain, and a bundle of brain tissue was tied into a knot. Her right eye was hanging directly out of the eye socket, with a heart-shaped pupil.

The last girl who looked like a doll didn't speak at all. She had dark green hair, black and white eyes, stitches all over her body, and a dark complexion.

These four "women" of different shapes all surrounded Guangxi intimately.

"Give my women human rights and compulsory education."

Guangxi said as she sat among the four women.

Zhou Wenwei looked strange. Lin Qingshan's ideas were really advanced.

The character of Li Hetian in "Flame Fist" was a transgender person, and here in "Chainsaw Man" there was another... lesbian character?

"You can consider it after you complete your mission."

The official turned around and said to Guangxi.

At this time, the comic screen suddenly seamlessly connected to Machima's side.

She said directly to Anbian beside her, "It seems that they are sending the killer Guangxi."

"I think her demon friends will come with them, how should we deal with them?"

Anbian also said at this time, "I really don't want to get close to her..."

"If all human beings were to have a bare-handed duel, I'm afraid she would be the first."

Anbian's comments were definitely very high, which made Zhou Wenwei stunned for a moment.

"So... powerful?"

Zhou Wenwei said in surprise.

You know, Anbian easily beat up Denji and Pava at the beginning, and his strength is beyond doubt.

And even he didn't want to get close to Guangxi, and his comment "If all human beings were to have a bare-handed duel, I'm afraid she would be the first."

It was simply raised to a terrifying level.

But Machima said at this time, "There should be more than one tough guy facing her this time."

"And even if Guangxi wants to guard against it, he can't guard against it..."

"What we have to guard against is..."

Machima said, "German Santa Claus."

"Do you think he will come too?"

Anbian asked.

"I don't know..."

Machima said, "There are rumors that he has died..."

"If there are demons using him, then we are done for. I hope he has really gone to see God."

After these words, it is obvious that this so-called Santa Claus is a greater threat than Guangxi, so Zhou Wenwei is curious again.

What kind of person is this Santa Claus...

And then his curiosity soon got the answer.

The scene turned and turned to Germany.

The man in the German military coat came to a park bench.

And there was an old man sitting on the park bench, reading a newspaper.

The man in the military coat sat next to the old man and said, "Although it's a little early, Christmas is here."

"Who are you going to give the gift to?"

The old man put down the newspaper and revealed his bald and old face.

"Is this Santa Claus?"

Zhou Wenwei looked at the old man in the comics and felt that this old man was definitely not ordinary.

After all, in comics, the real tough guys all look weird.

For example, old men who seem to have no fighting ability, children who have no expression when facing danger, and beautiful women, these are often the toughest of the tough.

The man in the military coat responded to the old man and said, "Send it to the chainsaw demon, can you find him?"

"What's the reward?"

"What do you want?"

Santa Claus said without any expression on his face, "Gender doesn't matter, I want four beautiful boys and girls to be my adopted sons."

"What's the use?"

"Three people used it as a contract, and the other one is my own preference."

Although Santa Claus had no expression on his face, he said in a perverted way.

"I'll prepare..."

The man in the military coat stood up and finally said.

Since then, all the ruthless characters who want to compete for Denji have appeared. It can be seen from just this simple appearance and their dialogue...

Their strengths are completely different.

At the very least...it has to be the level of fighting power that Lesai had.

But Denji was in his room at this time, lying on the floor a little helpless.

He looked at the TV and felt quite depressed.

"Why does everyone want my heart..."

During this process, Denji couldn't help but think.

Suddenly he became curious again about Pochita, which allowed him to transform into Chainsaw Man and gain so many people's attention...

What kind of existence is it?

However, the appearance of Hayakawa Akira interrupted Denji's thoughts.

He was complaining why he couldn't travel with Makima.

Hayakawa Akira tried to comfort him patiently, but...

Denji was still angry and threatened to kill all those who were chasing him so that he could travel with Makima!

"This is the end of this story."

You can't tell much from this episode. After all, it's just an ordinary plot before a new plot chapter begins.

It probably just introduces the new characters and shows how fierce they are.

So Zhou Wenwei didn't feel anything new.

Then he went on to watch "Gods".

And "Gods" actually said that it would open a new chapter this week.

That's why Zhou Wenwei watched "Chainsaw Man" first. After all, he thought the plot of the new chapter of "Protoss" should be quite boring.

However... this time the beginning of a new chapter of "Protoss" is not a boring daily plot.

But - "Night of Rainfall and Wild Flooding"!

This time, the story actually starts from the perspective of Chu Zihan, the president of the Lion Heart Club of Casal College who has not had much role before. He and his biological father were on their way home on a rainy night...

I met...God!

The main god of the Æsir in Norse mythology—Odin!

The appearance of gods, the awakened bloodline, and the bloodthirsty servant of God-Deadpool...

The plot develops rapidly with the father-son relationship between Chu Zihan and his father, which is quite enjoyable to watch.

But the moment Odin appeared, the plot of "Gods" ended.

"Depend on!"

Zhou Wenwei couldn't help but swear.

But this week's "Protoss" is really... the plot is so exciting!

And the other side.

"Here it comes, the Eyes of the Dead chapter."

Lin Qingshan said with great anticipation while looking at the "Gods" comic strip in the magazine.

The Eyes of the Dead chapter, in his opinion, is the truly exciting beginning of "Dragon".

Or rather... "God Clan".

① Make some background modifications, and Guangxi becomes the background of the old forces of the previous dynasty.

PS: Due to physical reasons, my condition has not been very good these past few days, and I got off work late at night. I will update a little more tonight. If the follow-up condition is better, I will directly speed up the plot, and try to finish the "Chainsaw Man" chapter by the end of the month.
