"Wow!" Denji was startled and almost threw the ball in his hand.
He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, only to find that everything that just appeared seemed to be just an illusion.
The zombie demon on the opposite side seemed to have discovered some terrible secret, and screamed: "You are finished...you are being targeted by her...hehe...hehehe..."
"So - what have you been saying about Didi since just now? It's so annoying!" Denji lowered his face with an unfriendly expression.
The zombie demon looked at the dark red ball in Denci's hand with awe, and his body twitched slightly, "The root of fear...the abyss...the destination of all demons..."
Can't understand.
So Denji put away the ball and waved Pochita decisively.
Buzz!
The chainsaw buzzes.
Taking advantage of the moment when the zombie demon's mental state was not very stable, Denji jumped up with all his strength and cut this disgusting and nagging guy in half!
Sure enough, the zombie demon came back to life strangely after death.
"Long live the abyss!" it roared with all its strength, and then disappeared.
Standing where he was, Denci felt a little at ease.
it's over.
It should be over...right?
"I don't know what happened, but Pochita, it seems that a large part of our debt has been canceled." Denji held Pochita in his arms and said cheerfully.
"Ah woo~" Pochita responded enthusiastically.
But at this moment, Dianci felt inexplicably uneasy.
His vision went dark and he knelt down on one knee.
"Aww!" Pochita fell to the ground and shouted eagerly.
Dian Ci covered his mouth and coughed.
Four or five seconds later, he looked at the sticky blood on his palms and said with a pale face: "Finally, have I reached this day? Asshole, something good has just happened and you haven't celebrated yet..."
His heart was not good to begin with, coupled with malnutrition, heavy labor, and the incompleteness of his body's organs, Denji, who was not yet eighteen years old, reached the end of his life.
"Hey, what's your expression?" Denji stood up and took Pochita into his arms again, "I told you that this day would come, didn't I?"
Looking at the zombie remains on the ground, he took a deep breath and said, "Honestly, it's a relief for me to die. It's just you, Pochita."
With that said, Denci lowered his head and looked at the devil dog in his arms, "Without me, you will definitely starve to death."
"Aww!" Pochita cried out, squinting his face and rubbing Denji's chest.
"Okay, okay, I can't die now. If I die, I won't die here... Let's go home." Denji hugged Pochita and walked very slowly outside the factory.
Step by step.
The body seems to weigh a thousand kilograms.
But Denji finally managed to survive with his strong will.
Outside, the moonlight is as quiet as water.
Denci raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and murmured: "It's so beautiful."
It's a pity that he will never see this kind of scenery again...
Shaking his head and suppressing those messy thoughts, Denji found the car he came from and sat in the main seat for the first time.
Because I had no driving experience, it took me a long time to start the car because of the broken battery.
Fortunately, except for the factory area, there was only wasteland around, so it didn't matter if he went on a rampage. He took Pochita and returned to the simple hut on the edge of the forest amidst exclamations and extremely hearty laughter.
When I staggered out of the car, I realized that I was almost dying.
But he still insisted on returning to the house and fell into the hard bed.
"Ahem...ahem...Pochita." Denji hugged Pochita, "Now that we are home, I can also give my last words..."
"Aww!" Pochita stuck out his tongue and kept licking Denji's bloodless face.
Denji smiled and said, "I heard that some demons can take over people's bodies and survive. Pochita, if you also have this ability, you don't have to be polite and use my body to live on after I die."
After a pause, he added: "Also, bread...if you have a chance in the future, help me taste what bread with butter tastes like."
The more he talked, the more unwilling he felt. Denci couldn't help but curse, "Damn, it took a lot of effort to close the bill. I haven't touched a woman's hand yet. I haven't..."
"Aww!" A few tears welled up in Pochita's eyes.
At this moment, Denci suddenly remembered something and took out the dark red ball from his pocket with the last effort, "Pochita...this thing is a bit evil...I lost it after I died...
…”
Before he finished speaking, Denji's eyes lost their brightness.
"Aww!" Pochta suddenly wailed.
Bits and pieces came to mind, and its eyes flashed.
"Since you have realized my dream, I will realize yours too."
"This is a contract."
"Denji, stay alive!"
But just when Pochita wanted to exchange his heart for Denci, the dark red ball in Denci's hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.
In the blink of an eye, an illusory figure appeared in front of Pochita.
"My friend, you look like you need help."
"I can help you."
"Fair trade, no bully."
Pochita was shocked and protected Denci tightly.
"Who are you!"
The illusory figure bowed slightly, "You can call me Mr. Abyss."
He smiled, "I come from another world and accidentally discovered this interesting place. The deeper the fear, the stronger the devil's power. Haha, this setting is very suitable for me to digest magic potions...
That’s a long way off. Anyway, I’m a weak chainsaw demon, are you willing to make a contract with me?”
Pochita did not dare to act rashly.
Because he sensed an extremely bad aura from the other party.
After a moment, Pochita gave her own answer: "I refuse!"
"What a pity." The illusory figure shook his head, "I am very interested in you."
Immediately, he snapped his fingers and pulled out Denji's soul that had not dissipated, "What about you, young man, do you want to make a contract with me in order to survive?"
"Hey!" Soul Body Denji looked at his translucent hands in horror, "Am I not dead?"
"Already dead, but death does not mean the end." The illusory figure smiled, "You haven't answered my question yet."
Soul Body Denci blinked, "What is going on now? I..."
Suddenly, he looked at Pochita, "Pochita! Am I dreaming?"
Pochita stared at the guy who called himself "Abyss" with hostility, and the saw blade on his head began to rotate rapidly.
"Ha." The figure chuckled, waved his hand casually, and trapped Pochita with dark red filaments.
"When you are not strong enough, being cruel is so cute."
Pochita struggled desperately, trying to cut off the filaments with a saw blade.
But unfortunately, the all-powerful electric saw is ineffective.
Seeing that Pochita was subdued, Denji became anxious and decided to help without even thinking about it.
But in his soul-body state, he was like a weightless astronaut, unable to control his body.
"Okay, my patience is limited." The illusory figure looked at Denci, "I ask one last time, are you willing to make a contract with me and regain your life at the cost of your own freedom?"
Without waiting for a reply, Pochita roared wildly.
"Don't agree!"
"Pochita! You can speak?" Denci was extremely surprised.
But Pochita didn't explain anything, he just stared at the enemy.
The illusory figure pondered for a moment, then raised his hands as if admitting defeat, "Okay, okay, I have to admit that the friendship between you two moved me very much.
Then, let me change the conditions.
I help you resurrect, in exchange, how about you sacrifice the lives of 999 demons for me?"
This deal seems feasible.
Denci didn't think about it that much.
The main thing is that the current situation does not allow him to bargain.
For Pochita, he decided to sign a contract with the mysterious demon in front of him.
Moreover--
Aren't there just 999 demons?
The number of demons that have died in his hands over the years has ranged from thirty to fifty. He is still so young, less than 18 years old. After he survives, as long as he hunts hard every day, he will be able to kill so many demons sooner or later...
In other words, it should be possible?
Denci raised his head and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
Hearing this, Pochita still wanted to stop it.
The illusory figure involuntarily pushed Denci's soul back to his body and resurrected it with a burst of dark red energy.
Not only that, Dianci's broken heart was replenished, and even the organs that were sold grew back.
"Okay, the deal between us is completed. However, in order to prevent you from not fulfilling your promise, your most precious thing will be left with me for the time being."
As he said that, the illusory figure waved, and Bogeta was held in his arms.
Denci, who had just been resurrected and was full of joy, was suddenly confused and shouted: "No!"
"I'm sorry, young man, this is not your decision, but mine." The illusory figure rubbed Pochita's head and flicked the chainsaw on its head in disgust.
This thing is more or less in the way.
Looking at Denji, he shrugged, "Don't look at me like that. I told you this was a deal."
The conversation changed, "But I have always been a kind-hearted gentleman, and I specifically allow you to borrow my power.
Of course, this also comes at a cost.
The demons killed by my power can only be counted as half, how about that? It's quite fair and reasonable."
Regardless of the situation for the moment, Denji's mind is now focused on getting back Pochita.
Pochita also wanted to return to Denci's arms.
But the man's hands were like steel pliers, trapping him tightly and preventing him from moving.
"Let's go home." The illusory figure hugged the chainsaw dog, and an illusory magic circle appeared under his feet.
Pochita struggled repeatedly to no avail, so he could only say in a hurry: "Denji, don't forget me!"
Denji hurriedly stretched out his hand, trying to catch Pochita.
As a result, his fingers touched the saw blade above Pochita's head.
Pochita's heart moved and she lightly cut Denci.
"This is a contract! Denji! Use my power to realize your dream! I will witness it with my own eyes in hell!"
"Sorry, the place we are going to is not a hell." The illusory figure smiled softly.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "That ball is the link between you and me. Pray to me and you will gain the power of the abyss."
As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory figure and Pochita disappeared at the same time.
Only Denji was left alone, feeling lost in the simple hut.
The moonlight came in and shone on his face that was filled with blood again and was extremely healthy.
Denji clenched his fist tightly.
As long as he kills 999 demons, he can see Pochita again.
and……
Touching his chest, Denji felt something strange on it. When he opened his collar and took a look, he saw a string similar to Pochita's tail sticking out from his chest strangely.
Denji knew that this was the contract signed by Pochita and him.
"Don't worry, Pochita, I will rescue you soon, and then we can live together." Denci touched the cord on his chest and swore secretly in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he inserted the dark red ball into the pull ring at the end of the cable.
It's a perfect fit.
…
…
The sun is rising.
In the simple hut, Denci ate alone in the bag of expired bread that was originally intended to be used as rations for the next few days.
He chewed it with great force, as if he had a grudge against the bread.
Ever since he took on huge debts, Dianci has never been as satisfied as what he had eaten this morning.
The feeling of fullness, this unfamiliar feeling made him so familiar.
However, Denci's mood did not improve.
"Only when you are full can you have the strength to work..." He made up his mind that he would have to kill at least three demons for this full meal, so that the value of the two would be barely equal.
"Let's go Pochita, it's time to go to work." Although the familiar orange puppy was not in the room, Denji still said it out of habit.
Walking out of the simple hut, he strode back to the shabby car.
He thought that if he sold this thing, he would probably get a lot of money.
Just as I was thinking about it, another black car drove up in the distance.
Denji frowned.
His home is located on the edge of the forest, an inaccessible place, and only a few gangsters usually visit when they have work to do.
Okay, why do cars appear in this area for no reason?
"Forget it, maybe I'm just passing by..." Denci thought to himself as he got into the blue car that originally belonged to Boss Kuro.
At this moment, the black car crossed the road not far from Denci.
A woman, two men, and three guys in long black trench coats got out of the car.
The two rough guys didn't have much to say, but the woman at the head made Denji look straight in the eyes.
At the time of puberty, and the other person had a good appearance, even though his best friend had just left him, Denci felt attracted to her for a moment.
"No, no, Pochita hasn't been rescued yet, how can he miss a woman?" Suddenly coming back to his senses, Denji shook his head and slapped himself.
Opening the car door, he faced the three people without fear and asked with a vigilant look on his face: "Who are you? Do you want to see me for something?"
The three men in black didn't reply.
After repeatedly confirming something, the leading woman said with interest: "Do you know what happened in the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the west city yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Denci's vigilance became more obvious, and he said calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Still want to pretend to be stupid?" One of the big men in black suddenly showed his fierce look.
However, the woman with braided braids stopped him, "You don't know, do you? I think we made a mistake. I'm sorry to bother you."
Facing those pair of pale golden eyes, Denci's heart beat uncontrollably.
Suddenly, the dark red ball stuck on the chest lit up, and he was heated a few times.
Denji immediately got rid of the weird state just now.
