I work 9 to 5 in Chainsaw Man

Chapter 378 Bottom Line

Cuijiu Orphanage, this orphanage located in the suburbs of Tokyo is not shabby. On the contrary, some of the equipment inside is very new, and it seems that some of them have been replaced in the past one or two years.

The children here are also very cute. They study hard and are obedient and sensible. This is inseparable from the education of Aoi Odagiri. She is the mother of every child here. She protects every child here with her love and wings and gives them a complete childhood.

But sometimes you need to be a little rough...

"Zhangwen! If you don't take a nap, I will give all your favorite diced chicken to others tonight!"

"And you, Xizi, if you don't take a nap, I won't buy you the Barbie doll you asked me for yesterday!"

"Kageyama! If you don't get off that ladder I'm going to beat your ass to pieces!"

After Odagiri Azuko's yell, more than 40 children who had been playing wildly returned to their beds like birds returning to their nests.

However, they were not honest. Seeing that Odagiri Tsuruko had not said anything for a long time, they squinted their eyes to see if she had left, and were seen by Xu Sheng.

He used to pretend to be asleep and wait for his mom to leave before getting up and continuing to play.

After making sure that every child closed their eyes, Odagiri Azuko took Xu Sheng and Hayakawa Aki to the backyard.

"The child is too noisy. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

"They are all children, still young, it's normal for them to like playing around."

"Don't you have any older children here?" asked Hayakawa Aki.

"Yes, but it's class time now. They are all in school now, and it's a boarding school." Cui Zi explained.

As soon as they arrived at the backyard, they saw the only mute caregiver of Cuijiu Orphanage, Shoji Shimada.

He was a sturdy man, looking a little dull, gesturing with his broad hands.

Xu Sheng didn't understand, so Cui Zi explained, "Shoji is a caregiver at the orphanage. He has some intellectual disabilities, but he's not a bad person. He even taught himself sign language. He just asked me who you are."

Cuizi smiled and said, "They are Jiulang's friends, and they came to visit Aunt Huixin."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Si showed an honest smile, took out two folded paper flowers from behind and gave them to Xu Sheng and Hayakawa Aki, and then continued to sign in sign language.

"He said thank you again, and this flower will be considered a greeting gift."

Xu Sheng smiled back at him: "I like the gift very much."

"Thank you." Hayakawa Aki was a little dazed holding the paper flower.

"Let's go, Zhuang Si said that Aunt Hui Xin is in there. She was a little stimulated when she was young and is a bit like a child. Don't mind it."

Xu Sheng nodded to show that he understood.

After the three of them walked into the house, they saw an old woman sitting cross-legged on the tatami, watching Astro Boy on TV and laughing like a child.

"Grandma Huixin, grandma, someone is here to see you."

Cui Zi shouted softly at the side.

The old woman turned around slowly, and when she saw Xu Sheng, her eyes lit up. She shouted with trembling lips: "Jiulang! Jiulang, you're back! Come on, come on, let your mother hug you."

Although the old woman looked very old, her movements were not slow at all. She hugged Xu Sheng tightly.

"Grandma! Grandma! He is not Jiulang." Cui Zi apologized to Xu Sheng while pulling the old lady.

Xu Sheng waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, old lady, you're wrong, I'm not Sato."

"Impossible, this is how my son smells."

Taste? Xu Sheng seemed to have thought of something, took out the magic sword behind him and asked, "Are you talking about the taste of this?"

"what!"

When the old woman saw the demon sword so close before her, she fell backwards instantly, holding her head and wailing as if she had received a severe shock.

Soji Shimada immediately ran in to comfort the old woman, and Tsuiko also pulled Xu Sheng and the other person out of the room.

Xu Sheng, who was outside the hospital, had a stomachache. Because of this incident, the way Hayakawa Aki looked at him changed.

I didn’t come all the way here to scare the old woman!

Before Xu Sheng could apologize, Cui Zi bowed and said, "I'm sorry for scaring you."

"Ah, it's okay. Grandma probably missed her son too much."

Cuizi shook her head and said, "Grandma has never considered anyone else as Jiulang."

It was true. The old lady was identifying people by the aura of the magic sword.

Apart from Sato Jiulang, he is the only one who has such a strong aura of the demon sword.

"Jiulang would never bring a knife in front of grandma. Grandma might be afraid of it because of what happened to her when she was young." Cui Zi sighed.

Xu Sheng nodded to show his understanding, and then said to Hayakawa Aki: "Hayakawa, go get those toys and snacks in, and give the kids a surprise when they wake up."

Hayakawa Aki nodded, turned and left.

The backyard became quiet with only two people left. Xu Sheng touched the leaves of a potted plant and said, "Do you have anything you want to ask?"

When Xu Sheng took out the magic sword, Cui Zi's expression was not right. He sent Hayakawa Aki away to make it easier for Cui Zi to ask questions.

Cuizi held her breath for a long time before she said, "Is Jiulang...dead?"

Xu Sheng was speechless. Cui Zi was more convinced of her own conclusion, tears welling up in her eyes. "That knife is what Jiu Lang values ​​the most. He never lets us touch it. He always takes it with him when he goes out, and always takes the knife with him when he comes back. There has never been a case where the knife has returned but the man has not..."

Xu Sheng looked at Cui Zi who was crying and couldn't say any words of comfort for a while. He was the one who killed Sato Jiulang. He was just entrusted to visit here. He should have nothing to do with this place.

He was not afraid to reveal that he was the murderer. No matter how powerful Cui Zi was, she could not hurt him at all. He could kill everyone here without any effort.

Xu Sheng thought of some dark theories, such as cutting the roots of the trouble and preventing future troubles, which emerged in his mind.

Kill them all...

There seemed to be a voice roaring in my heart!

The murderous intent appeared for a moment and then disappeared, and Xu Sheng felt a great sense of guilt and uneasiness in his heart.

How could he think like that?

Xu Sheng felt deeply ashamed of the thought that suddenly occurred to him. He was very strong, so strong that he ignored some laws and rules, but he could not abandon his bottom line as a human being.

Bottom Line…

Xu Sheng felt that something was wrong with him. He handed the magic sword Yao Lu to Cui Zi and said, "Please accept my condolences. I'm going to go out for a while."

Ignoring Hayakawa Aki's call, Xu Sheng walked straight into the dense forest in the suburbs.

In the demon-imprisoning space.

"Soon, soon..."

A strange smile like a crack appeared on Clover's faceless face.
