At that, Lu Xiao hurriedly shook his head.
"No! No!"
"Chainsaw Uncle, didn't I teach you?"
"No matter how tasty your friends are, you can't eat them! You can only lick them!"
Chainsaw Man spoke in a low voice.
"Mm! Friends aren't for eating!"
Lu Xiao looked gratified.
"Oh, right, Chainsaw Uncle, I brought you a little gift!"
As he spoke, he took a name badge out of his pants pocket.
"Chainsaw Uncle" was written on it in crooked lettering.
Lu Xiao struggled to his feet. His body felt extremely weak now.
But he still forced his feet to move and hung the badge around Chainsaw Man's neck.
The badge swung against Chainsaw Man's chest.
Watching this, Lu Xiao gave a satisfied smile.
"Now we're comrades!"
He had made this badge long ago and kept it with him, ready to give it to Chainsaw Uncle if he ever had a chance to return to the Dark Prison.
Chainsaw Uncle froze for a moment, then revved his chainsaw.
He waved the chainsaw around and danced with joy.
"We're comrades!"
Just then, Driver slowly woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw this terrifying sight and nearly fainted again from fright.
The aura emanating from Chainsaw Uncle filled him with a fear that came from his very soul.
He stammered.
"M-Mr. Lu, is this your friend?"
Lu Xiao was a little pale, but he still nodded.
"Don't be afraid. This friend of mine is really nice!"
Only then did Driver breathe a slight sigh of relief, though the fear in his heart did not fade at all.
Just then, Lu Xiao's legs suddenly gave out, and he sank to the ground.
Chainsaw Uncle hurried over to check on him.
His head was wrapped in bandages, making his expression impossible to see.
"You're hurt!"
Lu Xiao shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
"Probably just lost too much blood. It's nothing serious!"
"I just need to eat something to replenish it!"
Chainsaw Uncle's low voice rang out.
"Wait here! I'll find you something tasty!"
With that, he strode away, chainsaw raised.
He was incredibly fast, covering dozens of meters in a single step.
Driver looked around. The terrifying mountain-of-flesh monster had long since become a puddle of rotting meat.
Seeing that the danger was gone, he finally relaxed completely.
Then he walked toward the eerily writhing ball of flesh.
That ball of flesh was Serial Number 302-Vehicle.
Driver reached out and touched the ball of flesh.
The densely packed blood vessels on its surface began to writhe.
Before long, an orange-yellow taxi appeared.
After what had just happened, Driver felt it was better to keep a low profile in the Dark Prison.
Lu Xiao chuckled.
"Don't be scared! Coming back here is just like coming home!"
At Lu Xiao's words, Driver fell silent.
Before long, Chainsaw Uncle returned.
He held an extremely ugly humanoid creature in his hand.
The humanoid creature had a pair of enormous fleshy wings on its back.
Those wings were now riddled with holes, and bright red blood dripped onto the ground.
Chainsaw Uncle's muffled voice rang out.
"Strange. Why is all the food around here dead?"
He had just made a wide circuit of the area.
He hadn't seen a single piece of food moving.
He had only found the food in his hand by following its scent and dragging it out of a coffin buried underground.
Seeing the humanoid creature dangling from Chainsaw Uncle's hand, Lu Xiao grinned.
"Chainsaw Uncle, this filthy vampire doesn't taste good at all!"
Chainsaw Uncle spoke with a hint of helplessness.
"Dead! All dead!"
"You said food should be eaten alive!"
Lu Xiao froze at those words.
"What's dead?"
"The food's all dead! I couldn't find any living food nearby!"
Without giving it much thought, Lu Xiao immediately replied.
"Forget it, then. We'll make do with a bite of this!"
"Remember to remove the head and tail!"
Chainsaw Uncle started his chainsaw and cut the vampire into little pieces, as though slicing a steak.
The vampire didn't even have time to make a sound before Chainsaw Uncle mercilessly dismembered it.
Lu Xiao picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth, then slowly frowned.
"Sour and foul! As hard to swallow as an old lady's foot-binding cloth!"
Beside him, Driver watched, somewhat dumbfounded.
That vampire's standing had definitely not been low.
But now, he struggled to connect the neatly arranged, steak-like chunks of meat on the ground with that vampire.
The sight was far too shocking for him.
Lu Xiao called to Driver.
"Come try some! It tastes awful, but according to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, this is good stuff for beauty and youthful skin!"
"Too bad we don't have any minced garlic!"
Half believing him, Driver picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
The moment the meat entered his mouth, it slid down into his stomach.
Before he could even taste it, he picked up another piece.
As a Weird Life being, he could actually survive without eating.
But the chunks of meat on the ground seemed to hold an irresistible attraction for him.
One piece, then two-he kept stuffing them into his mouth.
Soon, his belly was round and bulging.
Lu Xiao hurriedly stopped him.
"Mr. Driver, binge eating like that could give you indigestion!"
Only then did Driver stop eating.
He wiped the remnants from the corner of his mouth and gave a blissful smile.
"So delicious! Ten thousand times better than all that seafood!"
The corner of Lu Xiao's eye twitched, but then he remembered Driver's experiences and sighed softly.
"Buddy! You've had it rough all these years!"
Before long, Dart slowly came around as well.
The tentacles at the back of his head extended again.
"What are you eating?"
He asked in confusion.
He had met Chainsaw Uncle before, so he was no stranger to him.
Instead, he was a little curious about the neatly arranged chunks of meat on the ground.
Instinct drove him to pick up a piece and try it.
Driver's voice was full of satisfaction.
"Brother! Come try some! It's really delicious!"
Dart paused, then looked at Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao nodded.
The chunks of meat were clearly raw, and even had blood on them.
Suppressing his nausea, Dart picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
"Hmm?"
His eyes immediately lit up.
Then he began grabbing the chunks of meat from the ground and stuffing them into his mouth like a madman.
He was exactly like Driver had been earlier.
Dart and Driver ate more than half of that poor vampire between them.
Dart used a thin little bone to pick the remnants from between his teeth.
"What exactly is this stuff? It's delicious!"
Lu Xiao was gnawing on a meaty bone held in his arms. Hearing Dart's question, he immediately looked up and answered casually.
"Oh, just a vampire!"
At those words, Dart's stomach instinctively contracted, and he was on the verge of throwing up.
Quick to react, Driver clapped a hand over Dart's mouth.
"Brother! Don't waste good stuff!"
"This is good stuff for beauty and youthful skin!"
Dart's eyes were filled with terror.
He flailed his hands wildly as the image of Enzo after turning into a vampire surfaced in his mind.
Lu Xiao seemed to know what he was thinking and calmly explained.
"Don't worry. The one you ate is different from that lowly thing from before!"
"This vampire wasn't transformed from a human, so you don't need to feel troubled about it!"
"Besides, if you're going to survive in the Dark Prison in the future, you'll have to eat!"
"After all, you still count as human!"
"And eating the food in the Dark Prison is good for you, too!"
As he spoke, the tentacles at the back of Dart's neck emerged, thrashing wildly in the air.
It was plain to see that those tentacles were considerably thicker than before.
They had originally been only a little thicker than strands of hair, but now they were almost as thick as earthworms.
After a long while, Dart finally slumped to the ground as though resigned to his fate.
"Do I still count as human?"
He murmured to himself.
