Started as a comics editor

Chapter 179 Okay, all my emotions are back.
The eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

at last.

this day.

The 23rd and 24th episodes of Chainsaw Man are about to be released.

noon.

Su Deqiang sat in front of the computer, gritting his teeth, and said, "Finally an update! You third-rate old scoundrel! Where were you during the New Year holiday?! If this update doesn't satisfy me, I'll roast you to death!"

In fact, human emotions are time-limited.

Things that seemed unacceptable at the time may seem insignificant in retrospect.

Especially during the Chinese New Year period.

With plenty of time, all recreational activities exude a joyful atmosphere.

When I first saw that plot, I was so angry that I felt like I was going to explode. There was no sequel.

But when New Year's Eve arrived... he calmed down.

As time went by, the painful emotions gradually subsided, and soon only faint memories remained.

At this moment, Su Deqiang was less angry and more eager to recapture the feeling from before.

Yes, I'm getting back that feeling of anticipation for what's to come...

no way.

It's the Lunar New Year, and with the magazine taking a week off, his mood has cooled down.

"...I wonder how the updates will go this week."

in fact.

Su Deqiang is very familiar with this situation. Generally speaking, this will happen if you haven't watched your favorite works for a long time.

The solution is simple: whenever you remember, just flip through the pages, and if you really like something, those favorite characters and previous storylines will automatically pop up.

But Chainsaw Man... well, how should I put it?

Su Deqiang lacked confidence because the character's death in the previous chapter was too sudden, and in his excitement at the time, he saw many readers saying that the plot was about to collapse.

So now, although I can't recapture those emotions, I remember the discussions among the readers back then very clearly...

Su Deqiang was afraid that if he opened the update later, he would see the plot develop in the direction he least wanted to see.

For example, in this episode, they hold a funeral for Machima, and she really dies.

Moreover, it doesn't make sense; it's just for the sake of making her die...

After opening ANF.

Su Deqiang was lost in thought about this matter, but his movements were not slow at all; he could open the comic section with his eyes closed.

no way.

He knows it too well.

Since ANF was acquired, he has been spending more and more time on this website.

Because of the death of the female lead in "Chainsaw Man" at the end of the year, and the nearly six months of operation last year, the company has continuously purchased anime series, optimized the user experience on the site, and issued relevant user guidelines.

The website is visibly improving and attracting more and more users.

He likes this website.

After opening the ANF comics section.

Su Deqiang finally realized what was happening, and then looked at the details page of "Chainsaw Man" in front of him, discovering that the comic had been updated.

The word "new" at the top of episodes 23 and 24 is particularly eye-catching.

He held the mouse, hesitated for a moment, and then clicked on episode twenty-three.
"I just hope that other websites get better and better, but comics get worse."

He muttered something to himself, then looked at the screen.

Episode 23.

The plot... the plot doesn't continue directly from the previous episode, but instead jumps to a different perspective.

The camera was focused on the main characters and others.

Some members of the main group are eating at a restaurant, some are dealing with a demon sighting, and some are asking for directions...

Ok?
Seeing this plot...

Su Deqiang was somewhat surprised.

Was this intentional? Or did this third-rate teacher have a change of heart during the Lunar New Year holiday? Is he preparing for a sudden plot twist?
He just thought so.

...scroll the mouse wheel down.

In front of the demon hunters who were handling reports of demon sightings, a passerby who seemed to be just a background figure slowly pulled out a gun from his pocket.

The demon hunter, who had just thanked the old lady who had shown him the way, turned to leave.

The old woman, who squinted and looked very old, reached into her bosom and pulled out a gun, pointing it at the back of the heads of the two demon hunters.

...A full six pages!
There wasn't a single line of dialogue!
The storyboard alone was enough to create that sense of impending storm!
See this.

Su Deqiang sat up straight instantly! He was pulled inside!
The events leading up to Chainsaw Man suddenly flashed through my mind, and my emotions began to return.

This, combined with the previous chapter... could it be that the attack wasn't just targeting Makima, but all the demon hunters?
Think of this.

Su Deqiang straightened his back and scrolled down the page again.

The subsequent plot developments proved that his idea was correct.

Gunfire erupted after the attack on the outgoing demon hunters.

Denji and the others, who were still eating at the restaurant, also heard it, but Denji didn't know what had happened and only found the sound of the gunshots strange.

At this point, the customers next to them started chatting with them, saying that they could still eat the food here even though it was so bad.

Then he went on and on about taste.

Su Deqiang was just starting to wonder what kind of inexplicable plot this was.

The bearded man who struck up the conversation... suddenly started talking about his grandfather, and showed him a picture of his grandfather.

His grandfather was the old gangster who was killed by Denji in the first episode.

Followed by.

Next scene.

The bearded man who had struck up the conversation pulled out a gun and pointed it at Denji: "Gun Demon wants your heart."

Then, without any further ado.

Just shoot.

Blood spurted out. Denji was shot in the head and fell backward.

At this moment, Denji's companions finally realized what was happening.

The next scene... it's static! There's no dialogue! Yet Su Deqiang could clearly feel the tension in the actions and reactions of Denji's comrades after the attack!

So strong!

Su Deqiang watched as the fox demon appeared out of thin air and bit off an entire floor.

That's my only thought.

Continue reading.

Although Denji's companions reacted quickly, two of them were still shot in the end.

They are their seniors, Himeno and Denji, lying in the center of the ruins.

Just as Hayakawa Aki was staring blankly at his injured companion, the fox demon said that he had swallowed something incredible.

Then... just like Denji, a samurai sword demon with blades growing from its head and arms burst out of the fox demon's mouth.

Upon seeing this, Hayakawa Aki immediately drew his sword.

Although the whole sentence is not long.

But it was truly spectacular, from the attack to the appearance of the samurai sword demon.

All in one go!
"..."

Without even thinking, Su Deqiang immediately started clicking on the next chapter.

no way.

My emotions are back!
Actually, I only watched the beginning before my emotions returned.

This attack is actually related to the Gun Demon? Why attack a demon hunter? Why strike the heart of the demon hunter? What will be the final outcome?

These questions lingered in Su Deqiang's mind.

He wanted to see what happened next!
Fortunately.

This time, the third-rate teacher didn't act recklessly; the next chapter will be released.

Next episode.

The plot immediately follows with Hayakawa Aki drawing his sword.

This is a battle sequence.

The storyboarding is as excellent as ever, with a strong cinematic feel.

Although there weren't many lines... Su Deqiang watched it very attentively.

And when they saw Hayakawa Aki finally defeat the katana demon with his excellent agility and an unknown demon named 'Kas'.

Su Deqiang breathed a sigh of relief, just about to exclaim how wonderful it was.

Next scene.

Hayakawa Aki raised his arm, seemingly noticing something unexpected, then realized something and looked at Himeno-senpai, who had also been shot.

Just as he was about to take Hime-senpai to the hospital.

A mysterious female character appears and comes to the side of the fallen samurai sword demon.

I don't know what I did.

She simply picked up the katana demon.

Then, under Hayakawa Aki's shocked gaze...

The katana demon has been resurrected, lowering its center of gravity and assuming a fighting stance.

Hayakawa Akiya, no longer in shock, drew his sword again with a serious expression.

But just as he drew his knife, the next second...

The katana demon appeared behind him.

The two passed each other.

Hayakawa Aki was stunned for a moment, then sweat appeared on her face.

then.

puff--

As the katana demon opened its mouth menacingly.

Hayakawa Aki leaned back, and blood gushed from his chest.

AORI appears—'Blood splattered everywhere!'

This episode is over!

"..."

Not long ago, Su Deqiang was worried about not being able to regain his previous emotions... He was looking at the comic book attentively the whole time, his whole mind was on the comic book, and he was stunned when he saw this scene.

Then, subconsciously, I clicked the next episode button again.

That familiar notification popped up.

'You've seen the latest update!'

Upon seeing this notification, Su Deqiang leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat dazed.

All right.

Now my emotions have all returned.

That feeling of shock, confusion, and intense anticipation for what would happen next...

But damn it... just when things were getting exciting, there was no follow-up!!
I……

you……

Su Deqiang's lips twitched slightly.

I should have known better than to watch it!

Why did you have to be so foolish?! If you forgot, you forgot! Why were you in such a hurry to watch it?!

Okay, now we have to wait another week!!!

He took a while to catch his breath, then gripped the mouse again, closed the page, and was about to check out the other readers' discussions.

But after closing the page and returning to the main site, I saw a banner ad that had been installed on the main site at some point.

Su Deqiang was stunned again.

...A joint event?
