Chapter 357: What kind of Spider is this?

It must be said that Kobeni is really quite miserable.

Crucially, this misery was ordained by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the author of "Chainsaw Man".

It's akin to the alleyway demise of Bruce Wayne's parents or the fate of Peter Parker's Uncle Ben, representing an irresistible force or the will of the greater universe. This is why Batman is so kind-hearted and cannot bear to see death; otherwise, if he couldn't beat his enemies, he would simply kneel and cry out, and the enemies would probably drop dead instantly.

In any case, after the episode involving Kobeni,

Makima quickly explained the reason for calling everyone together.

The previous shooting incident resulted in significant casualties in various departments of the Special Division, so to maintain the necessary Devil Hunter work, it was essential to regroup everyone.

Typically, members of the Special Division operate in pairs, forming partnerships.

Like Power with Denji, Hayakawa Aki with Himeno, and Arai with Kobeni. Now, with Himeno and Arai gone, it's not feasible to go without partners, so Makima decided to pair devils and Devils together.

Fang Mo didn't have any objections to this.

After all, he is a technical consultant, working in cooperation with the Special Division rather than needing to adhere to their policy of pairing up.

Although Makima is morally questionable, her efficiency in handling matters is indeed quite high.

The new groups were quickly decided: Kobeni with a Violence Devil, the Shark Devil with the Spider Devil, Power and Denji remained unchanged, and the last, Hayakawa Aki, was paired with an Angel Devil.

"Does everyone agree with the new groupings?"

After the allocation, Makima specifically asked this question. But honestly, since everyone is under Makima's control, of course, there were no objections. Then Makima turned to Fang Mo: "Consultant Fang Mo, what do you think?"

"I don't really mind."

Fang Mo, while casually cleaning his ear with his little finger, said indifferently, "But to be honest... These people seem too weak. At this rate, we'll probably have to regroup again soon, which is quite troublesome."

"Ah, it seems like we're being underestimated."

The Violence Devil scratched his head awkwardly: "There's nothing we can do about it, after all, our strength as Devils is limited, otherwise, it would be bad if we lost control."

"It doesn't matter," said the Angel Devil lazily. "Devils won't die from being shot, so instead of worrying about us, you might as well worry about the humans."

"Yeah, it looks like your human side is even weaker, right?"

The Shark Devil, somewhat neurotically, chimed in and then suddenly pointed at Kobeni: "Like this woman, her whining is so annoying, I could bite her to death in one go."

"Yikes!?"

Kobeni stepped back in fear and began to apologize again, "So...sorry..."

"Consultant Fang Mo, does make sense."

Makima didn't seem angry but instead appeared to be contemplating, stroking her chin: "Actually, the Fourth Special Division really needs some special training. After all, we still have to investigate clues about the Gun Devil, so we must enhance everyone's strength."

"I want to train with Chainsaw-sama!"

Hearing this, the Shark Devil suddenly got excited: "I really want to fight alongside Chainsaw-sama, Chainsaw-sama is strong! Invincible!"

"As for Denji-kun, he's indeed undergoing special training with Power."

Makima glanced at the Shark Devil and then said, "But it seems like Princi isn't interested in anyone else, and I'm currently busy with a lot of things, so there's no suitable person to take charge of the training."

"That's simple."

Fang Mo immediately smiled, "Why not just leave them to me?"

"Really?"

Makima asked, tilting her head.

"Hey, don't be so formal with me, man," Fang Mo waved his hand, "Isn't this what you were thinking? I'm quite free right now, might as well take them for some fun..."

Before he could finish, the Spider Devil suddenly rushed over from a distance.

"Don't you dare speak to Makima-sama like that."

Suddenly, eight sharp claws emerged from under the woman's skirt, and with a leap, all eight feet thrust towards Fang Mo.

However, she only got halfway there.

Her entire body suddenly eerily hovered in mid-air.

The Spider Devil struggled, but it was clearly futile, as this wasn't a force she could break free from.

"I've seen many spiders, but this is my first time seeing such a protective one."

While saying this, Fang Mo slowly walked towards the Spider Devil and then lifted her skirt: "Wow, what a creature, eight spider legs."

"Consultant Fang Mo."

Makima had also witnessed the scene and thus spoke up, "Princi meant no harm, she just didn't recognize your Devil identity and thought you were human. After all, Devils tend to harbor some malice towards humans."

"Ah? He's also a Devil?"

Upon hearing this, the Violence Devil on this side seemed somewhat surprised as well.

"It's okay if you didn't recognize him."

Hearing Makima's words, Fang Mo couldn't help but laugh. It seemed like this was indeed a small test from Makima, but he certainly wouldn't back down: "Don't worry, I'll make her realize it soon enough. After all, when it comes to dealing with spiders, I am absolutely ancestral..."

While saying this, Fang Mo had already drawn a huge battle axe from behind.

Instead of swinging the Storm Axe to chop the opponent, Fang Mo merely poked the Spider Devil lightly with the axe handle. The inherent abilities of the Tinker' Construct, Limb Cutter Killer V, along with the original Limb Cutter Killer V were activated. With a squish, a shower of blood burst from the Spider Devil, and its eight legs, two arms, and other stuff scattered all over the ground.

Fang Mo looked down and noticed an eyeball had rolled to his feet.

"Wow, the dropping of a spider's eye is so realistic."

Fang Mo laughed at the sight: "How about I pickle it in sugar for you? I'm best at preparing family dishes. Fermented spider eyes are a rare delicacy."

...

Seeing this, the other Devils seemed to be stunned as well,

Even the insane Shark Devil seemed to have quieted down a lot.

They had indeed heard from Makima before, saying that the new technical consultant was a monster of sorts, but this was a bit too monstrous, wasn't it? How did a mere touch result in instant death?

"It seems this one isn't dead yet."

Fang Mo glanced at the Spider Devil not far away. It had to be said, the Devil's vitality was indeed tenacious; it hadn't died even after being blown apart. He then spoke up: "Would anyone be willing to contribute some blood?"

However, the entire office was silent, and no one dared to make a sound.

"Isn't anyone... a teammate here? Someone help, please?"

Fang Mo spread his hands: "If you don't save him, I won't be polite. Watch me grant a merciful release..."

"Is this consultant so violent?" Seeing the terrible state of the Spider Devil, the Violence Devil nearby seemed to be frightened as well, looking directly at Makima: "Miss Makima, do we really have to train under him? I feel like we might get killed."

"Don't worry, Consultant Fang Mo is still quite measured in his actions."

Makima voluntarily went over, taking out a bag of blood from nowhere and feeding it to the spider Devil, rounding off the situation, "He is a very powerful Devil, and I believe everyone here can become stronger."

"This..."

The people exchanged glances. Since the leader had spoken, they seemed to have no reason to refuse.

However, regarding Makima's comment about 'being measured in his actions.'

Everyone tacitly chose not to comment further.

Since there were no missions at the moment, it didn't take long for Makima to approve everyone's request for special training.

Due to the ravages of Devils, the police department held significant power in this world. Soon, everyone arrived at a training ground near the suburbs of the city.

This place was originally a factory, but due to the Devils, it had turned into a heap of ruins. The boss likely fled or died, so the police department requisitioned the land. The factory's yard was indeed very large, making it suitable for a training ground.

"Alright, everyone."

After arriving at the training ground, Fang Mo clapped his hands: "Starting now, let me take charge of your special training."

"First, answer me three questions."

Fang Mo extended three fingers: "Which do you prefer, picking cotton or being killed? Complaining or being killed? Obeying or being killed?"

"That's not even a question."

The Violence Devil said: "It's more of a threat than a question, isn't it?"

"Yes... yes..."

The Shark Devil couldn't help but nod: "Although I don't understand, it feels like if we don't pick cotton, don't complain, and don't obey, we'll be killed."

"Why did I even come back to work?" Kobeni held her head and started to cry again: "Wuu, I'm so foolish, why did I run back to be a Devil hunter... I really want to quit."

However, just at this moment, the Angel Devil suddenly spoke.

"There's really no need to choose in this matter," the Angel Devil said lazily. "Compared to working... being killed is surely better, right?"

"?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and turned their gazes towards the Angel Devil.

"What's this? How did a 'salted fish' get mixed in with these Devils?" Fang Mo turned his head towards the Angel Devil upon hearing this and deliberately said, "Hm? Why does this salted fish Devil have a halo above its head? Could it be that this fish died with lingering regrets? A nun and a fish, or something like that..."

"He's an Angel Devil, not a Salted Fish Devil."

The Violence Devil explained, "But he's always been like this, lacking motivation. Boss, don't bother with him, and please don't kill him."

"You're quite kind, aren't you?"

Fang Mo looked at the Violence Devil beside him. "What happened to being violent?"

"In my case, after inheriting this body, I retained many of its previous memories, so I don't advocate violence," the Violence Devil explained, touching the back of his head. "It would be nice if all matters could be resolved peacefully."

"You're a good kid."

Fang Mo laughed upon hearing this. "Well... then I'll go easy on you guys later."
