Chapter 351: Fang Mo is a Plot Hole

After Sawatari Akane was crushed to death.

The attack was essentially coming to an end.

However, although the mastermind was dead, the impact caused by these people was extremely severe.

They did not only attack members of the Division Four; currently, all Divisions dealing with Devils have been attacked. Moreover, their attackers were not Devils but gang members. Furthermore, the most critical point is that... They all had firearms in their possession.

Thirteen years ago, after the activities of the Gun Devil began.

Countries around the world had banned firearms, aiming to diminish the fear associated with the concept of guns.

But now, the emergence of firearms in the hands of these gangsters has escalated the situation. Even the entire Metropolitan Police Department has started to mobilize, with police cars, ambulances, and even the officers themselves are now armed, rushing to provide support.

However, by the time they arrived at the scene, they found that the battle seemed to have already ended.

There was nothing they could do then; they had to cooperate with the remaining members of the Special Devil Hunters to clean up the battlefield.

As for Fang Mo, the unconscious Hayakawa Aki was quickly taken to the hospital by an ambulance, while Power took the time to pull the engine in Denji's chest. Accompanied by a buzzing sound, Denji was revived in full health.

Accompanying the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department was a man wearing glasses.

Fang Mo vaguely remembered him; at yesterday's welcome party for the Special Devil Hunters, this guy seemed to be sitting in a corner drinking, Hayakawa Aki.

"Mr. Fang Mo."

The other party's condition wasn't good, covered in blood: "How's the casualty situation on your side?"

"It's okay, probably just one or two deaths."

Fang Mo thought for a moment and said: "Arai and Kobeni weren't with us, so I'm not sure about them. But on my side, only Himeno is gone, the rest are fine."

"I see."

The other's expression was somewhat complicated: "Then your casualties are relatively minor. Except for the Devils, everyone else in the First, Second, and Third Special Devil Hunters... except for me, have all died in the line of duty."

"That's inevitable."

Hearing this, Fang Mo shrugged: "Human life is just that fragile. I've long advised you all to resign."

"The higher-ups have already issued relevant orders." The other said: "Due to the current shortage of personnel, the First, Second, and Third Special Devil Hunters will be merged into the Division Four from today, with Miss Makima in command."

"So you still plan to continue working under Makima... ahem." Fang Mo coughed and asked: "I mean, are you going to keep working under Makima?"

"I've already planned to resign."

The other party said with his head lowered, "I originally thought that our only enemies were Devils, but... I never expected that in the end, a companion would die from a gunshot. Thinking about it carefully, this is truly ironic."

"Which is why I advised you to resign long ago."

Fang Mo shook his head, "Why wouldn't you heed the advice? Now look at what happened... Now, only you remain, safe and joyous."

"You really do know something."

Hearing this, the other party also looked up at Fang Mo, "Can you tell me what Miss Makima's attitude towards this matter is? Did she anticipate this happening?"

"Remember, you wish to see nothing."

Fang Mo patted the other's shoulder, then took out a handful of gold nuggets from his pocket and handed them over, "This is the gold from yesterday's welcome party. Take it to handle their affairs; after all, we shared a meal at the same table, and that at least makes us acquaintances. As for yourself... when the opportunity arises, consider living in that country across the sea."

"...I understand."

After listening, the other party was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you."

After expressing gratitude, the person didn't stay long and soon turned to leave, leaving behind a lonely figure.

Of course, Fang Mo didn't linger either. He had been splattered with blood when interrogating Sawatari Akane, who suddenly died. This sticky feeling was unbearable, so he had to hurry home to wash it off.

On his way home, Fang Mo encountered no obstructions and smoothly returned.

After arriving home, Fang Mo first handed Shoggoth over to Ah Xue, then took a nice hot shower.

Once he was clean.

Fang Mo thought for a moment and teleported directly to the planet Igo.

Contrary to the beautiful environment shown in movies, Igo was now desolate, with brownish-red rocks as far as the eye could see and a sky as dark as the abyss.

Only those fissures reaching deep into the heart of the planet faintly emitted a pale light.

The previously disappeared Himeno.

Stood there, baffled, looking at this desolate land.

"What are you thinking about?"

Just as she was filled with questions, suddenly a voice rang out, startling Himeno. She immediately turned around in a defensive stance.

However, when she saw who it was, she was stunned.

"...It's you?"

Himeno looked at Fang Mo in surprise, "Isn't this supposed to be the afterlife? How can I still see you?"

"Because... the dead belong to me?"

Fang Mo tilted his head, pretending to be in deep thought, "Mmm, the living closely follow behind."

"Huh?"

Himeno was obviously a bit confused, "What does that mean?"

"I have established a kingdom in the afterlife amidst the ashes. No one, not even the gods, can stop me from reclaiming what is rightfully mine!" Fang Mo suddenly spread his arms, shouting with a dramatic flair, "I have destroyed the natural cycle, granting eternal existence to all things, defying fate, domination, deceit!"

"..."

Himeno looked at Fang Mo, not knowing what to say.

"Ah, it feels so exhilarating to be delirious."

Fang Mo nodded contentedly, and then addressed Himeno, "Alright, now we can have a normal conversation."

"Uh..."

Himeno, still somewhat dazed, asked after a pause, "So, have I died? And what about Aki-kun? How is he now?"

"Hayakawa Aki couldn't handle the shock and fainted."

Fang Mo waved his hand, "But his injuries are not serious. An ambulance had already taken him away, and Denji and Power followed. Though, I suspect they intend to stealthily consume Hayakawa Aki's offerings."

"As for you... I'm sorry, this is not the afterlife."

"What?"

Himeno looked somewhat surprised, "Then where is this?"

"Every Prime Evil, when they become powerful enough, creates their own domain, independent and transcending the universe as you know it... You can think of us as Abyssals, Outer Gods, Void Lords, or Dimensional Demons, but you should know, these inherent names mean nothing to us."

Fang Mo pointed around and said, "As you see, this is my realm, the land of eternal happiness and joy. You may call it... Pregnant Paradise."

"Pregnant... Paradise?"

Upon hearing this, Himeno felt a twitch in his eyelids, realizing he might have stepped into a trap, "To clarify, the happiness and joy you're talking about... Is it the kind I'm thinking of? The kind where one indulges and ends up 'pregnant'?"

"Yes."

Fang Mo nodded seriously.

"..."

Himeno nervously swallowed and glanced around subconsciously. "But even if you say that, what about the others in this 'Eternal Land of Happiness and Joy'? Your kingdom doesn't sound like it should be this desolate, right?"

"Uh, well..."

Hearing this, Fang Mo's gaze suddenly wandered. "Hmm... how should I put it..."

"Even if you want pleasure, you need specific facilities, right?" Himeno grew increasingly puzzled and a look of confusion appeared on her face. "Even without a room or anything, shouldn't there at least be a bed or a mattress? But I've been wandering around here for a while, and it seems there's not even a bundle of straw?"

"This is because..."

"Are you just playing with me?"

Himeno suddenly asked.

"Damn it, I'm done acting!" Fang Mo turned around and said, "I'm going to take care of Hayakawa Aki now..."

"Wait, wait!"

Himeno quickly grabbed Fang Mo. "I'm pregnant, can I be pregnant now?"

"Pregnant my ass."

Fang Mo shook off Himeno's hand. "There's not even a damn bed here, and you think I'm interested in you? The type I like is... uh, definitely not you, so stop daydreaming."

"Huh?"

Himeno was also stunned. "You don't like someone like me? Could it be... you like Makima too?"

"Who would like that bad woman," Fang Mo said bluntly. "She has done all sorts of evil deeds. I wouldn't pick her even if I were buying roast chicken at a roast shop."

"You actually don't like Makima?"

Himeno seemed somewhat surprised. "That's strange. Whether it's Denji kid, Aki-kun, or other men from the Special Division, they all like Miss Makima. I thought all men would like Miss Makima."

"That's because Makima has controlled them."

Fang Mo spread his hands. "On the surface, she's human, but in reality, she's a Control Devil, capable of controlling others' minds without them knowing. Naturally, they'd blindly adore her."

"What did you say?"

Himeno first showed a shocked expression, then suddenly felt a pang in her heart. "Wait, then Aki-kun might also..."

"Oh, that guy had a terrible death in the future."

Fang Mo said, "Betrayed by the person he trusted most, possessed by the most hated Devil, killed by the closest person to him. Honestly, it's the worst death I've seen. Oh, by the way, the reason Hayakawa Aki died so miserably was also arranged by Makima."

"Aki-kun..."

Himeno took a step back, somewhat dazed, and asked, "How could this be…"
