Chapter 261 Rebirth (Original) 4k
"As expected, Aoyama, the cartoonist, will always oppose the existence of utopianism."
Feng Yiyuan said with emotion after reading the latest single volume of "Chainsaw Man".
In fact, "Edgewalker" can be regarded as a dystopian work. It should be said that all works of the cyberpunk type are dystopian.
This type of work does not think that the future science fiction world will necessarily be beautiful.
The so-called utopia is either a huge lie to whitewash peace, or a world that is so high-pressure that no one can resist.
"Sensei Aoyama's works are as profound as ever."
In front of Feng Yiyuan, it turned out to be Yang Dahai, the editor-in-chief of Manjie Comics. He took a sip of tea and said.
"Indeed...and all his works are so excellent."
Feng Yiyuan couldn't help but ask, "So the information about his identity on the Internet...is it true?"
"All I can say is, I don't know, but for now... yes."
Yang Dahai nodded and said, "However, Teacher Qingshan is quite optimistic now, perhaps because he has achieved great enlightenment after retreating to Taoism for several years."
"He also entered Taoism and became a monk?"
Feng Yiyuan asked curiously.
Although he created the popular cultivation comic "Purple Energy Comes from the East", he seems to know Xuanmen well. Some comic fans even said that he had entered Xuanmen and served as a Taoist priest for several years.
In fact, he has never been a Taoist priest.
It's just that he has been fascinated by Xuanmen for a long time, so he created "Purple Qi from the East" and led the comic theme of cultivation to become popular in the comics industry of the Republic.
"It is said that it is...in fact, the information on the Internet seems to be basically not false."
Yang Dahai said.
The pervasiveness of the Internet age has slowly begun to emerge. As long as you want to inquire about a person's past, there are always countless clues in the online world that you can follow.
For example, Lin Qingshan's original life was a Taoist priest. Netizens also learned about it through some photos of tourists on the Xuan Scenic Spot and the personal accounts of the Taoist priests in the Xuan Scenery.
The overwhelming Internet has made it very easy to spread information.
Even if it were not strictly controlled later, things like box cracking would have become common.
"It seems that Xuanmen is indeed a good place to cultivate your body and mind and refine your sentiments."
Feng Yiyuan said with a smile, "Qingshan seems to have obtained the Taoist Fruit of Xuanmen, and now he can see through the past and return to normal."
"Back to normal……"
The previous words were okay, but the last sentence made Yang Dahai a little confused about what to say.
Do you think Lin Qingshan is normal?
Do you care that Lin Qingshan is so crazy now that he gives everyone a big job every now and then and calls it normal?
But it’s not normal...
After knowing Lin Qingshan's past, it is indeed normal for him to have symptoms of depression and suicide as long as he does not live or die.
"What's wrong? Chief Editor Yang?"
Feng Yiyuan asked curiously at this time.
"do not have much left."
Yang Dahai said helplessly, "Teacher Qingshan is indeed normal now..."
…
Although Machima did a great job and told her purpose, the origin of the Chainsaw Demon, and her complete world view.
This makes comic fans feel quite satisfied.
However, the popularity of "Chainsaw Man" fell back after the follow-up.
However, it only dropped to third place. "Purple Air from the East" still relies on its extremely high popularity and huge number of fans accumulated over many years of serialization to continue to occupy the first position.
The same is true for the second "True Dragon God's Choice", which belongs to the "Sea of Fire" in this world.
The accumulated popularity and huge number of fans cannot be completely surpassed by two rising stars, Lin Qingshan and Yang Shuzhun, in a short time.
"Chainsaw Man" relied on the number of fans and popularity accumulated by Lin Qingshan's "Edgewalker", and the plot of Hayakawa Akira's death completely exploded.
But after an outbreak, you will always feel tired.
The plot of "Chainsaw Man" continues. After the chainsaw demon came back from hell, he went straight to Makima.
He also got his wish and cut Machima into several pieces. However, unfortunately, due to the contract, Machima is truly immortal.
But after that, the chainsaw demon heard Dongshan Xiaohong’s cry for help.
He came and killed the clerk who bullied Xiaohong. The chainsaw demon who thought of Denci's wish wanted to help Denci realize his wish, so he ate fresh burgers and kidnapped Xiaohong for a date.
Then, Machima summoned a series of demons under her control to fight against the Chainsaw Man, including... the resurrected Lesai, Katana, Guangxi and others.
Obviously popular characters like Lesse and Guangxi have been resurrected, but now they have to deal with Denji...
Especially Lesai, it makes me sad just thinking about it.
However, Pochita was able to deal with these weapon demons at first.
After all, the Chainsaw Demon is indeed very powerful, and Pochita itself is not comparable to Denji.
Pochita is a hero in hell, and he will never be at a disadvantage against countless powerful demons.
only……
A hero has the strength of a hero, the burdens of a hero, and the weaknesses of a hero.
Machima exposed Chainsaw Man's identity on the radio and defined him as a hero. People began to worship Chainsaw Man. Chainsaw Man's strength was greatly reduced because the world's fear of him no longer existed.
After all, the power of the devil comes from the fear in the hearts of humans. Once the fear subsides, it is equivalent to a mobile phone without power, and it will no longer have the previous ability.
Chainsaw devil... Danger!
However, at this time...
"I haven't slept enough! Um..."
In a dark place with many intestines as the background, Pava, who should have been killed by Machima, is sleeping here at this time? !
"Wow wow wow wow! Pava is not dead!"
Many comic fans who like Pava were suddenly very excited. They were really happy to see Pava again.
After all, at this time, if Pava is resurrected again, it will definitely help Denci!
"Wake up... Pava..."
It's... Pochita, he is trying to wake up Pava.
"Ah? Who are you?"
Finally, Pava woke up and looked at Pochita, but she didn't recognize him at all and asked unhappily.
"Ah!"
She suddenly remembered something and said with sudden realization, "Are you the Pochita that Denci mentioned?"
Pochita immediately showed a happy smile, not knowing whether it was because Denci often mentioned him or because Denci was finally saved next.
However... the fans looked at Pochita, and their hearts were about to melt at this moment.
"Wow! Pochita is the best dog in the world!"
"Pochita is so cute!"
"This is probably what Mr. Aoyama thinks of his own dog. I heard that Mr. Aoyama also has a dog named Pochita."
"Hhhh, he drew his own dog into the comics. Mr. Aoyama really likes his own dog."
And in the comics.
"Pava... please."
Pochita said solemnly at this time, "You must save Denci."
Then he went on to say that the reason why Pava was not dead was because Denci sucked Pava's blood last time.
This little blood remained in Denci's body, and Pava was a blood demon, so Pava was not dead yet.
But after a while, Pava will still die.
But...
"But don't worry."
Pochita said, "As long as the devil eats other powerful devils, it can increase its own strength..."
Then he said, "I want you to eat me, become a devil and revive again... Are you willing to help me save Denji?"
Faced with Pochita's question, Pava said without hesitation, "Of course!"
"Denci is my old partner!"
Then, in reality, Pava, who turned into the body of the blood devil, suddenly appeared in the mouth of the chainsaw devil.
She wanted to take Denji out of the siege, but...
Her strength was too weak. Under the siege of Machima's followers, it seemed that she could not escape at all.
And facing Machima's threat, "Pava, honestly hand over the chainsaw man to me, I can still let you live and let you continue to be my pet."
Under this fear, Pava actually...
"Yes!"
She directly grabbed the chainsaw devil's body from behind, making him unable to move.
"Puchi——"
This scene was unexpected for the fans, but although it was unexpected, it was reasonable.
After all, Pava...is not the first time to do this.
"How could this happen..."
Even Pochita was speechless and began to think that she had trusted the wrong person.
However, when the chainsaw demon was caught by Pava, he said in confusion, "Pava?"
In an instant, Pava was stunned, and she recalled the past with Denji again.
Then...
"Ahhhh——"
She screamed wildly, but attacked Makima and others, and then ran away with the chainsaw demon.
"Why ahhhhhh!!"
"Why why do I have to go against Makima?!"
"Obviously there is no chance of winning!!"
Although Pava asked such questions, she kept running away with the chainsaw demon in her arms...no, it should be said that Denji.
In the end, in her inner monologue, her true thoughts were revealed.
"Life is so equally humble, and so is my life."
"So, there is no need to grieve for anyone's death, including my own."
Pava and Denci are indeed similar people. They both think they will not grieve for the death of others.
But after so long of accompanying each other, they have developed feelings...
A family-like feeling!
So...
"Only Denci... Absolutely not..."
In this way, Pava said in her inner monologue, and despite the injuries of being torn apart by Machima and her followers, she ran to the dark corner of the alley with Denci.
"Because Denci..."
"Denci is..."
"My first..."
"Friend!"
Pava used her remaining body to carry Denci into the trash can.
All the comic fans felt a bad premonition again at this time.
This familiar feeling...
This familiar smell...
Could it be...
Just then, Denci's consciousness seemed to have awakened.
In the narrow space, Denci looked up and saw...Pava.
Pava is now the familiar face he had known before, and the two of them are close together.
In this trash can.
"Pava..."
"Denci..."
Pava hugged Denci excitedly, put his face close to his, and said, "... I'm here to save you."
"I... I've had enough, Pava."
Denci still said indifferently at this time, "I've eaten so many delicious foods, flirted with girls, played games with everyone, and slept with you."
He had lived a life that he had never thought of living before.
So he was very satisfied.
Under the black light axis painting that was completely different from before, Denci said, "Compared to when I was in debt, this kind of life is just like a dream."
"So I'm satisfied, there's nothing to be happy about even if I live."
"Even if I live, I won't see Pava, right?"
It can be seen that Denci is really heartbroken now.
Hayakawa Aki is dead, and Pava is about to die.
He actually had nothing, and he wouldn't have anything if he lived.
So... there's no need to live.
But at this moment...
"Idiot!"
Pava suddenly cried and cursed Denci, "Idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot!"
This scene reminded many comic fans of the scene in "Flame Fist" where Ligata and Agni cursed each other.
Their tears welled up instantly.
Sure enough... the next thing was...
"Is it worth it for you to be so depressed just because you can't see me?!"
Pava asked Denci angrily.
"Of course it's worth it..."
But Denci replied affirmatively.
"You idiot..."
Pava cursed again softly.
Then she looked at Denci anxiously and deeply, and said, "Even if the devil dies in this world, he will be resurrected in hell. Although at that time, I will no longer be the same as I am now, so when we meet again, we will be enemies."
Looking at Pava with a serious face, Denci suddenly became silent and sad.
So the next time they meet again, Pava will become another person and an enemy?
But then she smiled and said to Denci, "Denci, you must find the blood demon."
"Find her, then find a way to make friends with her, and then turn her back into Pava."
"In this way, I can be your partner again, right?"
After Pava's words, Denci's fighting spirit seemed to slowly recover.
When the comic fans saw this, their tears gradually overflowed again.
They didn't know how many times they had cried for the comic "Chainsaw Man".
But they were sure of one thing...
"Teacher Aoyama, you really have no heart!!!"
Then, Pava finally said to Denci, "Denci, this is the contract between us..."
"I will give you my blood in exchange..."
"You must find me."
Denci stood up suddenly during Pava's last words!
"Pava!"
It's just that he is now in a trash can, just like he was resurrected from the trash can in the first episode because of Pochita's contract.
This time, he was "reborn" from the trash can again because of Pava's blood.
But there was no trace of Pava in front of him.
"Pava..."
Recalling Pava's former smile, Denci cried sadly again.
The Denci who once said that he would not cry for anyone, now cried again and again for the death of others.
But at this moment...
The shore appeared, he sat next to the trash can, and said to Denci calmly, "Denci, let me ask you, are you Denci?"
"Or is it that chainsaw monster?"
"If you are Denci, I will cover you to escape from Machima."
"If it is that monster, you can continue to sleep in the trash can."
In the end, Denci made a "two" gesture to the shore.
He... is Denci, and also the chainsaw monster that the shore said - the chainsaw man!
I tried to speed up the story as much as possible. The final battle and the ginger roast pork stage will come later. Then I thought about it and decided to briefly touch upon the first part of the second part instead of ending it at the end of the first part. Then, after the protagonist has drawn the part he saw in his past life memory, the "Tanaka Spinal Sword" part, I will start the serialization of Parasyte.
The Spinal Sword can correspond to the Zhuge Yuan in "Daogui" later (laughs). It can be a foreshadowing, so that the comic fans in the book can feel that this is a corresponding story.
