The crimson flame rolled up the cigarette between his fingers, and after a few seconds, wisps of smoke rose and turned pale gold as if they had been sucked in by a street lamp.

A white-haired man in a black suit stood under a yellowing street lamp, puffing smoke rings. The streets are deserted, and all around are empty and unfinished buildings. Only the wind whistled by.

Falling Gu Zero stared at his fingers, the cigarette between his fingers gradually shortening, and a little spark from the cigarette butt brought him back to his senses.

Just three minutes ago, he learned from the words of the Freedom Demon that he was in trouble. And the troublesome master is on his way. Although he had read the "Chainsaw Man" comics, it was already a matter of the previous world, and after the baptism of the previous world, he almost forgot about it, and only remembered a joke.

Just now, he used a joke related to the domination of demons, and made a pact with the free demons. Unexpectedly, the next moment, he would have to deal with the Domination Demon.

"Click!" The sound of metallic soles stepping on the road goes from far to near.

Gu Ling spat out a smoke ring and looked in the direction of the footsteps. The figure that almost blends in with the darkness gradually reveals the whole picture, the texture of the black high-end suit makes the sprinkled light look cheap, the cherry bangs are haloed with a layer of bright luster, and the two strands of cherry silk hanging in front of the ears sway softly with the sound of metallic footsteps.

The visitor had a flawless face, with a straight nose, rosy lips, a round chin, thick eyelashes, and clear eyes, reflecting the figure of a white-haired man. There was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was contemptuous, as if he was friendly, as if it were just polite social etiquette. It's hard to categorize the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, because you can't understand what her smile means.

She is the dominant demon, part-time director of the Ministry of Public Security's 3rd Division of Demon Specialty, and a human pseudonym: Machima.

[Domination of demons: can dominate all creatures (including demons and humans) that she subjectively considers to be inferior to herself, limited to this world]

After her appearance, the desolate streets and towering unfinished buildings have become a dull backdrop, and she has an atmosphere of its own, as if everything around her is a supporting character. Where she is, it's like a painting that draws all eyes to the heroine, and all the sights and other figures are insignificant embellishments.

However, Unaffected by Machima's unique charm, he inhaled the last puff of cigarette into his lungs, and after his respiratory tract was filled with a sweet chocolate smell, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and did not grind it. Just now light a cigarette with the ability of flame blessing, and the target is tobacco. When the tobacco inside burns out, the flame will automatically extinguish. He looked at the cigarette case of the Freedom Demon "Shunlai", the black packaging, which said "BLACK STONE" on it, and he remembered the black brand and the chocolate flavor.

As soon as Machima stepped into the dim yellow light, bathing in the same street lamp as Descending Zero, the other party handed out a cigarette, "Come on?" ”

“……”

The black suit is windless and automatic, and it keeps shaking and shaking. The Freedom Demon was really scared, because Machima's gaze had been fixed on it, as if it was about to burn.

"Emma, why did you become clothes?" Machima ignored the cigarette handed over by Gu Ling, and asked the Freedom Demon directly, reaching out and pulling it without waiting for an answer—he couldn't pull it down.

It was as if the Freedom Demon had been brushed back and forth three times by superglue, firmly attached to the white-haired youth's body. Machima's eyes narrowed, and he tentatively slashed at the white-haired youth's neck with a knife that slashed out of the black suit to form a claw, grabbing Machima's wrist.

The black suit was shaking, obviously scared, but he had to protect the ancient zero out of the content of the contract signed with the ancient zero.

Machima has understood everything, it must be Emma (the demon of freedom) who signed a contract with this human, and Emma didn't dare to disobey her before, at most she just sneaked out to eat a few people.

She stared directly at the white-haired youth and activated her abilities.

Descending to the ancient zero clearly saw that there was only one person in those beautiful and bright eyes like amber, as if reflecting a miniature version of herself in the past, giving people the illusion that she was staring at you affectionately, and the next second her eyes turned into white circles, one by one, and Machima, who activated her dominating ability, said, "Tell me what is the content of your contract with the Freedom Demon?" ”

Her voice is gentle, like a feather brushing against your neck.

From a distance, it is a romantic scene, a man and a woman looking at each other affectionately under the deserted streets, under the yellow street lamp.

To Machima's surprise, the white-haired young man was stunned for a moment, snorted and laughed, hugged his stomach and laughed, the laughter echoed unscrupulously in the streets surrounded by unfinished buildings, hollow to piercing, laughing until the free demon was terrified, laughing until Machima raised his eyebrows, relaxed his strength to show that he had no intention of attacking, and the black claw retracted into a black suit.

"Excuse me......" Machima lifted her slender hand and smoothed her right sideburns. She thought that the Freedom Demon had lent her powers to Descending Zero.

[Free Demon: Not controlled by the Dominating Demon, it can change shape at will.] 】

Only Ancient Zero knew that he was not dominated by the Dominant Demon because neither his body nor his consciousness belonged to this world, but to a combination of two other worlds. He just got the absolute right to use the free demon, and if he wanted the free demon to become an inflatable puppet, the free demon could only be obedient. But not being dominated by the Dominant Demon is the demonic attribute of the Freedom Demon itself. The innate opposition of concepts gives the Freedom Demon this special property. Free change is ability, ability can be used, but attribute cannot.

And Machima didn't think about it that much, or she couldn't imagine that a human would not be under her control, let alone that this human didn't actually belong to this world.

Since dominance is useless to him, then use it in other ways. Machima's eyes returned to amber as she looked at the white-haired young man who was panting for breath, and he seemed to be suffocating from laughing just now. Machima had a few questions to ask, but before she could speak, Descending Zero spoke first, "Me and the Freedom Demon, you just called her Emma?" Well, that's Emma, and I signed a contract with Emma. ”

Gu Zero deliberately paused, trying to see if Machima would show a curious look, but he was disappointed. But he still couldn't help laughing, the street lamp illuminated his white hair slightly, as if it was a cloud of snow that had accumulated for a long time, with a bit of gray and white, with a harmless smiling face of humans and animals, if passers-by passed by, they would definitely sigh: What an angel!

- Machima heard the man who smelled like the first snow say:

"I'm going to have a relationship with Machima, and after Machima falls in love with me, the Freedom Demon is free."
