Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 396: Chapter 393: "6"

The content of the conversation between Makima and Fang Mo was not extensive.

Just a few sentences, where the other party simply mentioned the meeting place, stated that everyone had already arrived, and that they were all waiting for Fang Mo, hoping he could come quickly.

Hearing this, Fang Mo had a rough idea in his mind.

It was clear that Makima was getting restless, which was in line with his own suspicions. The real target of this punitive expedition was very likely himself.

After all, it had been three full days.

Whether it was the Hayakawa family or other members of the Special Division, Fang Mo had not seen any of them.

Indeed, in these past few days, it seemed as if the entire Public Security Bureau against Devils had come to a standstill. Just on the local television station alone, Fang Mo had seen several reports of Devil sightings, yet he had not seen any related members addressing them. Even a fool could sense something was amiss.

This was obviously Makima preparing her forces against him.

Her ability was very special. If she controlled a person, she could use that person's Devil contract ability at will, without paying any cost.

Take Sawatari Akane as an example. She had signed a contract with the Snake Devil, and every time she commanded the Snake Devil, she would lose a fingernail. But if Makima controlled Sawatari Akane, she could command the Snake Devil without having to pay any price.

It had been mentioned before that Makima had signed a contract with Japan's Minister of the Cabinet.

Any damage intended for her would be randomly transferred to some unlucky citizen of Japan, either in the form of an accident or disease. It's not that she didn't have to pay a price, but the cost of "losing a fingernail" was transferred to someone else.

Similarly, whether it was reducing lifespan, consuming flesh, or even more severe Devil contracts, Makima could use them at will.

According to Fang Mo's speculation.

Makima had probably been frantically preparing these three days.

After all, she probably had a vague concept of how strong Fang Mo was.

But this thing, frankly speaking... is also one of the three major illusions in life. The only difference is that Denji's illusion is "Miss Makima likes me," while Makima's illusion is "I can counter-kill" or "I have the advantage," and so on.

"The final showdown is finally upon us."

After hanging up Makima's call, Fang Mo slowly stood up from the sofa: "Feels like my bones are about to rot, perfect for some good exercise today."

"Meow?"

The little black cat on the sofa also meowed in response.

"You want to go too?" Fang Mo laughed upon hearing this: "Finally willing to leave your little TV?"

"Meow~"

The little black cat meowed softly, then jumped down from the sofa, diving straight into Fang Mo's shadow like diving into water.

Turning off the TV, Fang Mo walked straight towards the dining area.

Since it was just after seven in the morning, Ah Xue was busy making breakfast in the kitchen.

Today's breakfast consisted of soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, some small pickled vegetables, and stuffed buns, just like the items typically sold in breakfast shops. Fang Mo walked over and saw that Quanxi was helping out inside, seemingly pouring sesame oil into a cold dish.

As for her two Devil sisters, they were sitting at the dining table, looking at her with an expression of waiting for the meal to start.

"Wow, even made the deep-fried dough sticks yourself?"

Fang Mo walked over, casually picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth: "Hmm, too bland, add more salt."

"There's no need for breakfast to be that salty."

Quanxi couldn't help but ask.

"Why is there a word for 'salty' in the name of this dish, which is pickled vegetables?" Fang Mo retorted, "If breakfast is too bland, what if you get heartburn when you go out to fight later?"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Quanxi also looked up at Fang Mo: "Is the campaign about to begin?"

"Yes."

Fang Mo nodded and said, "I guess the final battle is coming next. Let's pack up the house later, so it doesn't get blown up by some unknown AOE."

"What do I need to do?"

Quanxi asked.

"After thinking about it, it seems like there's not much you can do." Fang Mo served himself a bowl of soy milk, adding sugar while saying, "Never mind, just shout '6' later."

"6."

Quanxi nodded, indicating he had noted it down.

Although Makima had already notified Fang Mo to gather, as everyone knows, before a boss fight, one must fully restore their state, even if it's just hunting, at the very least, you should have a cat meal or something. So, Fang Mo calmly finished his breakfast and then tidied up his villa.

Ah Xue returned to the sword.

The villa was also packed by Fang Mo into the storage space.

Even Quanxi's two Devil sisters were sent by Fang Mo to the planet of Ego, effectively cutting off all worries for the future.

After all this was done.

Fang Mo cheerfully headed to the gathering place.

The gathering place mentioned by Makima was not inside the police headquarters office building. According to her, there seemed to be some strange phenomenon occurring there lately, with people going mad from time to time. Now, the government officials are discussing whether to demolish that place and rebuild a new building elsewhere.

Her proposed gathering place.

It seemed to be near an abandoned dock in Tokyo Bay.

Honestly, just hearing about this gathering place, you could tell there was a problem. It felt like it was specifically chosen as a deserted area to minimize casualties.

But Fang Mo didn't mind.

Taking Quanxi, they casually strolled there as if they were shopping.

Passing through a grove, Fang Mo quickly saw Makima standing on the beach, dressed in a long black dress that outlined her exquisite figure, and behind her, a bunch of people stood in disarray.

Fang Mo took a brief look.

He noticed that the people from the Fourth Special Division were also mixed in.

However, their expressions were a bit dull, and they didn't seem to react much upon seeing Fang Mo.

"So, you've controlled them, haven't you?"

Fang Mo approached while speaking to Makima, "So what exactly were you thinking? Did you believe that a bunch of nobodies together could take me down?"

"I didn't intend to make an enemy of Consultant Fang Mo."

Hearing this, Makima revealed a faint smile, "Is Consultant Fang Mo confused? Our target this time is the Gun Devil."

"The Gun Devil has been gone for a while, you know?"

Fang Mo glanced at Makima, "We've already reached this point, and you're still putting on an act?"

"Really..."

After hearing Fang Mo's words, Makima first fell silent, then continued with a smile, "It would have been nice to wait a bit longer, after all, if we could have included the Gun Devil in our attack against you, it feels like our chances of winning would be much higher."

"NSML."

Fang Mo responded by giving her the middle finger.

"Then, I won't hold back anymore."

Upon hearing this, Makima finally stopped acting, and with a wave of her hand, she declared, "The Happy Devil subjugation battle officially begins now."

And with her words, several figures immediately rushed out from the crowd behind her, most of whom were unfamiliar, but Fang Mo recognized among them the Katana Man, and Reze, clearly, they were Makima's hidden forces, the entire Fifth Special Division made up of weapon people.

"First time in battle, let's make a good impression on Miss Makima."

A black-haired man suddenly spoke.

"Then let's have a competition," another man with black-framed glasses confidently answered while smoking, "Like, whoever first cuts off that guy's head can invite Miss Makima on a date, how about that?"

"It's pointless even if you win the date."

A woman with messy hair laughed, "Even if we could invite Miss Makima, we'd only feel ashamed of ourselves, wouldn't we?"

"Spears, whips, and swords, huh?"

Fang Mo glanced at the three people, a calm smile appearing on his face, "Trying to show off in front of me? Fine, I'll kill you first."

"6."

Quanxi said upon seeing this.

"It's a pity that little Quanxi wasn't summoned as well." Hearing this, Makima turned to Quanxi with a smile, "Why not join us now?"

"6."

Quanxi glanced indifferently at Makima and said.

"...It seems it won't work." Makima nodded, and then suddenly a large number of dense chains appeared on her body, directly connecting to everyone behind her: "If that's the case, then let's begin the battle."

"For Miss Makima!"

The weapon people on this side moved very quickly, transforming in an instant, and then surrounded Fang Mo like lightning.

Fang Mo looked up and saw that the six weapon people were respectively a knife, gun, sword, whip, bomb, and Flamethrower. After transforming, they immediately launched an attack, while Makima also activated her powers, pointing one hand towards Fang Mo.

"Since it's a decisive battle, then I'll just play along with you for a bit."

Seeing this, Fang Mo also slowly drew out Laevatein.

The next second, with a 'boom', a dazzling firelight rose from Fang Mo's body, the air around instantly distorted, and even the ground under his feet started to redden and soften.

Just as Fang Mo had said.

The moment he drew the giant sword, he had already aimed at the Spear Devil on this side.

The Spear Devil was about to attack Fang Mo, but in just a moment of distraction, suddenly a large hand was already on his face, followed by a sudden sharp pain in his chest. The thick, board-like giant sword pierced through his chest, directly burning away his entire chest cavity, leaving his four limbs and head to fall powerlessly to the ground.

"Pansen, you are but a crawling worm."

Seeing this, Fang Mo directly stepped on the opponent's head, with a 'pfft', the Spear Devil died instantly.

After dealing with the Spear Devil, Fang Mo instantly twisted his body, first dodging Makima's attack with a tilt of his head, then kicked flying the charging Reze, grabbed two long knives with one hand, and with the other hand holding Laevatein, he made a sweeping blow. The whip and sword Devils, although they avoided the blade, were still burned into two big fireballs by the ultra-high temperature attached to the sword.

However, Fang Mo was attacking others.

The Flamethrower Devil suddenly raised both arms high, spraying two huge pillars of fire at him.

The fire instantly engulfed both Fang Mo and the knife Devil's bodies, but quickly the fire dissipated, the Katana Devil fell, but Fang Mo was unharmed, holding Laevatein, looking back at the Flamethrower Devil with a puzzled face, seemingly confused by his actions.

"..."

The Flamethrower Devil looked at the Flame Devil Sword in the other's hand and also fell silent.

"6."

Quanxi said.
