Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 357: Chapter 354: Future Devil

"What's wrong? Don't you want to shout?"

Facing the utterly bewildered Future Devil, Fang Mo stepped on a musical note box and said, "Hurry up and shout, or else I'll chop you up and burn you as firewood."

"This... the future is the best?"

The Future Devil, hearing this, tentatively shouted a phrase.

"Yes! The future is the best!"

As Fang Mo spoke, he drew the Sword of Supreme Intelligence from the ground. The neon patterns on the blade flickered and changed, illuminating the entire room in a kaleidoscope of colors: "Nice, shout it out for me!"

"Ha ha! The future is the best!"

The Future Devil seemed to finally catch on, shouting happily, "Yay! The future is the best!"

"That's right! The future is the best!"

Fang Mo, with one foot on the musical note box, suddenly pulled out a leek and began to knock it on the Future Devil's head. "Knocking the electronic wooden fish, accumulating quantum merits, worshipping the Mech Buddha, spreading the Cyber Sutra, and in the end... marrying Hatsune Miku! The future is the best!"

In that moment.

The Future Devil seemed to reach some absurd consensus with Fang Mo.

It was like Tom from Tom and Jerry, who, when the owner is away, gathers stray cats at home for a party, filling the room with neon lights, explosive music, and waves of excited shouting.

As for Hayakawa Aki.

He had long been forgotten by the two.

But as time went on, the waiting Tendo and Kurose outside inevitably became puzzled.

"Hasn't Hayakawa Aki signed the contract yet?"

Kurose couldn't help asking, "Could it be that the price was too high, and the Future Devil killed him directly?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe we should open the door and check," Tendo shook hee head and said, "Anyway, stay alert, the Devil might go berserk."

After saying this, they both became serious. Taking a deep breath, they simultaneously reached for the door, cautiously opening it slowly, ready to attack at any moment.

However, when the door opened.

They were also stunned by what they saw.

The entire room was inexplicably filled with colorful beams of light, and there was rhythmic music. Fang Mo, standing on the musical note box, was whipping the Future Devil's head with a leek, while the Devil, looking happy, was shouting "the future is the best" and wriggling on the spot like a maggot.

"Uh..."

Kurose and Tendo didn't know what to say.

However, both were members of the Devil Hunter, used to seeing outrageous things. Kurose quickly regained his composure and walked over to pat Hayakawa Aki's shoulder.

"Is this also part of the contract?"

Kurose couldn't help but ask, "Hayakawa Aki, if you're being forced, blink your eyes..."

"I'm not being forced."

Hayakawa Aki's face was expressionless, as if he was accustomed to it, saying, "I was planning to make a contract with a Future Devil, but for some reason, they suddenly got excited. I don't know what happened, so I decided to wait and see."

"Then let's wait a bit longer."

Tendo also came over, "Perhaps it's a form of communication between Devils, it might even get Hayakawa Aki discount on his contract."

"So, what should we do?"

Kurose asked, "Surely... we don't have to shout that too, do we?"

It turned out they were overthinking. After Fang Mo and the Future Devil had their few minutes of frenzy, they gradually calmed down, and the Future Devil cooperated by stopping his shouts.

"Indeed, it's more fun to go crazy in Tatsuki Fujimoto's world."

Casually discarding the leek in his hand, Fang Mo smiled and clapped, "Alright, the frenzy is over, now we should talk about the contract."

"You meant for me to make a contract with him, right?"

The Future Devil, who seemed to have also enjoyed the dance, directly said, "Although I'd prefer to contract with you... but alright, let me see his future first so I can set a price."

"Go ahead."

Fang Mo waved to Hayakawa Aki, "Don't worry, I've got your back."

"Okay."

Hayakawa Aki nodded and walked towards the Future Devil, who then exerted force, and the vertical split on his stomach suddenly opened wide, revealing a thick darkness inside, and a strange eyeball.

Without saying much, Hayakawa Aki directly put his head into the other's stomach.

Seeing this, the future Devil arched his back, the split closed, tightly wrapping around Hayakawa Aki's head, and then his power activated, causing him to suddenly freeze.

"Hmm, this future is..."

At first, the Future Devil hesitated, but then he suddenly became excited: "Is that so? It can actually be like this? Ha... Haha, indeed... the future is the best!"

"So, what's the price?"

Hayakawa Aki pulled his head out and asked.

"You, Hayakawa Aki," the Future Devil suddenly bent down, stretched out a hand to pinch Hayakawa Aki's chin and said: "You fool, you don't really understand what you are facing, do you? How fortunate you are to receive such mercy from a will that transcends everything."

"What?"

Hayakawa Aki frowned in confusion: "I don't want to hear this, what's the price?"

"I was supposed to take everything from you," the Future Devil said. "But... I don't dare to do that anymore, so let's modify the contract terms. You let me reside in your right eye, and I will lend you all my power."

"...?"

Hayakawa Aki was momentarily stunned after hearing this.

"Hehehe," the Future Devil suddenly laughed: "With a 'is that all?' expression... because I want to witness your future with my own eyes, the future... is the best!"

After saying this,

The Future Devil suddenly turned to look at Fang Mo.

"Is this contract alright?" the Future Devil asked: "Considering how cooperative I am, let me witness that kind of future too. I don't want to stay here anymore."

When he said 'here'.

It seemed like he emphasized it a bit more.

"You are quite smart," Fang Mo understood the other's meaning and smiled: "Alright, I agree."

"The future is the best!"

Upon hearing this, the Future Devil began to wriggle again, seemingly very happy: "Yay! Haha!"

"By the way, it seems like you can see the future."

Seeing the excited Future Devil, Fang Mo thoughtfully stroked his chin: "In that case, how about you take a look at my future? There's something I want to confirm."

"!"

Upon hearing this, the Future Devil, who was wriggling, suddenly froze in mid-air.

"What's wrong?"

Fang Mo looked at the Future Devil curiously: "Don't you want to see?"

"I would never do that," the Future Devil immediately said: "Firelight feels warm, but getting too close to the sun will only result in being burned to nothing."

"What if I insist you do it?"

Fang Mo asked.

"I would kill myself immediately," the Future Devil said.

"Why are you so cowardly... forget it." Fang Mo waved his hand: "It's useless, you deserve to be buried in the electronic cemetery. I'll just go back and check it out myself with the Time Stone."

"What about me and Hayakawa Aki..."

"Move in," Fang Mo said with a roll of his eyes: "I always keep my word."

"Hehe!" The Future Devil shouted excitedly, then suddenly turned into a beam of light and disappeared into Hayakawa Aki's right eye.

After signing with the Future Devil.

Kurose and Tendo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

There was no helping it, as the pressure Fang Mo put on both of them was quite significant, keeping them constantly on edge.

In fact, the Devils imprisoned in the underground prison were very unruly, as the truly useful ones had already been taken away by the Special Division and wouldn't just be locked up there. However, Kurose and Tendo found that these Devils seemed to be very submissive to Fang Mo for some reason.

This wasn't just evident with the Future Devil.

Even when they first entered the underground prison, the two of them noticed it.

Wherever Fang Mo passed, all the sensing-type Devils fell eerily silent, whereas they are usually very restless.

Then they thought back to the conversation between the Future Devil and Fang Mo.

Just a glimpse of the future was enough to terrify someone to the point of contemplating suicide. What kind of bizarre situation is this?

Thinking about this, both Kurose and Tendo probably realized that these Devils possess far greater sensory abilities than humans. They probably noticed something about Fang Mo's true nature. Just moments ago, Fang Mo was dancing with a Future Devil, appearing to be nothing more than a nuisance, but in reality, his true nature had been overlooked.

However, these Devils are different. They won't forget other matters just because Fang Mo likes to joke around.

"Sigh... Finally, it's over."

Kurose and Tendo exchanged glances, both letting out a sigh of relief. Then Kurose spoke to Hayakawa Aki, who was not far away: "Aki-kun, now that the contract is signed, can we leave this place?"

"Just a moment."

Before Hayakawa Aki could respond, Fang Mo spoke up: "I have another matter to attend to."

"What matters?"

The two, who had just relaxed, tensed up again.

"Lend me a few Devils," Fang Mo said. "They don't need to be very strong. I just want to conduct an experiment. If they survive, I'll return them to you later."

"Huh?"

Hearing Fang Mo's request, both were startled, but Tendo quickly responded: "Alright, I understand. Please follow me."

In all seriousness.

Fang Mo's request was indeed against the rules.

But Tendo, who had some experience with and had dealt with Devils on numerous occasions and understood that sometimes rules can't be followed strictly.

Just go with the flow. The most important thing is to save your own life. And even if we take a step back, Miss Makima didn't tell me to stop him. Fang Mo's status is still higher than mine as a Technical Consultant for the Special Class. Why bother about so much?

So, with their tacit consent.

Fang Mo quickly selected a few Devils.

As he said, these Devils were very weak: a Tomato Devil, a Coffee Devil, a Broom Devil, and a Turtle Devil.

These Devils were really pathetic. Hayakawa Aki could easily defeat them all by himself.

But Fang Mo was only using them for experiments, so he wasn't particularly concerned about their strength. He casually pulled out a few swords and captured them, preparing to go back and test the Nametags a bit.

After all, the main storyline of Chainsaw Man isn't very long, and it's about time to start dealing with Makima's matter.
