Chapter 118: The Breast-Touching Demon
**Shanghai Airport.**
Airplanes roared across the runway, and among them, a flight from the United States slowly and steadily landed.
Chris Nolan, accompanied by WB Pictures' professional business team, slowly disembarked from the plane.
Inside the airport terminal, the crowd bustled with people coming and going, but everything was orderly.
In contrast, it always seemed as though something was happening at airports and subways in the United States, requiring staff to constantly deal with unforeseen events.
This difference made Chris reflect on how different the Republic was from the United States.
"Chris, how are you feeling? Are you okay?"
The WB executive accompanying him asked, smiling at Nolan.
"Miles, I'm fine," Chris replied. "Looking at the Republic like this, it really seems like a pretty nice place."
"This is the most developed city in the Republic—Shanghai. If you're interested in exploring this city, you'll experience a lot," Miles said with a smile.
To foreigners, there are really only one and a half cities in the Republic: one being Shanghai and the other half being the capital. To them, these two cities represent the entire Republic.
As for the other cities in the Republic, they're mostly unknown to them. It's similar to how, outside of Americans, most foreigners only know New York and Washington, with perhaps San Francisco and Los Angeles added to the mix. Similarly, the most foreigners might know of Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
"Never mind, right now I just want to secure the film rights to *The Border Walker* as soon as possible," Chris said with a smile. "If I have the chance in the future, I'll definitely explore this city more thoroughly."
"Oh, Chris, you really are quite interested in *The Border Walker*, huh?" Miles said helplessly. "But then again, who isn't interested in *The Border Walker* right now? Let's hope that with you here this time, we can secure the rights."
Chris nodded enthusiastically. This time, he had flown all the way to the Republic with the firm intention of acquiring the film rights to *The Border Walker*. He had done extensive research and was determined to meet the original author and persuade them.
Meanwhile, the folks at Manjie Company quietly learned of their arrival in Shanghai. They didn't dare slack off, especially since the famous director Chris Nolan, who had won Oscars for Best Director and Best Screenplay for *Inception*, was involved. They couldn't afford to be careless.
Their staff had been waiting outside the airport for a long time, and as soon as Chris Nolan and his team emerged, they took them to the hotel to settle in.
The following day, they would officially visit Manjie Company to negotiate the film rights to *The Border Walker*.
...
For those who had once enjoyed reading *The Border Walker*, time continued to pass quickly after its conclusion. Before they knew it, two months had passed since *The Border Walker* had ended.
In the meantime, Lin Qingshan's new work, *Chainsaw Man*, had already reached its tenth chapter.
In the earlier chapters, Denji had been arranged to stay at Aki Hayakawa's house, where he met the rebellious yet "generously endowed" Blood Fiend—Power.
Fiends are demons that take over the corpses of the dead, resulting in beings with weakened abilities compared to when they were demons. They are characterized by the shape of their heads and have the ability to drink blood to restore their injuries and strength.
[Translator: sauron]
Power, like Denji, was a special demon hunter recruited by the Public Safety Bureau.
By now, everyone knew that in the world of *Chainsaw Man*, religion couldn't deal with demons. So, they had to rely on the power of demons to fight other demons, like Denji and Power, who were fiends but not purely driven by the urge to kill and devour humans. And beyond that, they might even use demonic powers to fight demons, though how exactly that would be done remained unclear.
After work, Zhou Wenwei, as usual, bought the latest issue of *Manga World Gogo* from the newsstand and started reading it at home.
To be honest, compared to *The Border Walker*, the setting of *Chainsaw Man* was indeed a bit inferior. Especially since Zhou Wenwei was a sci-fi enthusiast, *Chainsaw Man* didn't really align with science fiction.
However, after *The Border Walker*, he had become a fan of Lin Qingshan's work. Having developed the habit of reading manga, he continued to support *Chainsaw Man*.
Picking up where the ninth chapter left off, Denji was tricked by Power and brought before the Bat Demon, who drank Denji's blood to restore its strength. The Bat Demon had kidnapped Power's cat to threaten her. However, even though Power brought Denji to the Bat Demon to heal its injuries, the Bat Demon broke its promise and swallowed the cat along with its cage right in front of Power.
Then, the Bat Demon flew into the human city, planning to go on a killing spree.
At that point, everyone pretty much hated Power. After all, she was the one who caused Denji to get his blood sucked by the Bat Demon.
But Denji didn't blame her—in fact, he understood her. He remembered a time when Pochita had gone missing, and he had been extremely worried. So, instead of blaming Power, he followed the Bat Demon into the city, intending to stop its massacre.
During this process, Denji saved many ordinary people. At the same time, he pulled the cord on his chest once again, transforming into Chainsaw Man.
With Pochita's immense power, Denji brutally killed the Bat Demon.
But...
Even though the Bat Demon was dead, a Leech Demon suddenly appeared.
This series of battles had already exhausted Denji's body. Most importantly, demon battles required blood, and without enough blood, Denji couldn't even summon the chainsaw on his head.
And when Denji transformed into Chainsaw Man, the chainsaw would tear through his body, causing him to lose blood.
Zhou Wenwei opened the tenth chapter of the manga series.
Despite being nearly unable to fight, Denji continued to push his body to battle the Leech Demon. His reason was surprisingly...
"I haven't even touched a breast yet, so there's no way I'm going to die..." Denji said, his face covered in blood.
The Leech Demon, confused, said, "How boring. To think that Bat died at the hands of a brat with such vulgar desires. What a pitiful end."
As Zhou Wenwei read this, he couldn't help but feel a bit strange. It seemed true that the Bat Demon was killed by Denji simply because he wanted to touch Power's breasts. That really was a tragic end.
But then again, although Power was a Fiend, she looked pretty good, and her chest was quite large...
So, actually, it wasn't too bad...
