Chapter 255: The Comic Fans' Imagination
"Huh?"
Seeing this sensational news, Yuka couldn't help but be stunned.
If this is true... then the old rogue Ren... no, Ren-sensei is a bit too miserable...
She suddenly remembered Aki Hayakawa's family in the manga. The parents and younger brother were taken away by the Gun Devil...
and it just so happened that in this news, the younger brother also killed his parents with a homemade gun.
So... is Ren drawing his own story?
The rumors on the Internet before also said that Denji was the protagonist character created by Ren based on himself.
Because someone has already revealed that Ren's own dog is named Pochita.
Furthermore, he himself presents a mental state that is not entirely normal like Denji.
And many mangakas and authors indeed substitute themselves to create the protagonist.
Therefore, everyone thinks it's reasonable for Ren to create the character of Denji based on himself.
But now it turns out that he created Aki Hayakawa based on himself...
It's very strange.
"Maybe Denji is him, and Aki Hayakawa is too."
Yuka suddenly realized and said to herself, "He used to be Aki Hayakawa, and now he is Denji, and then... the current self took his own life with his own hands and watched his past self die with his own eyes."
"Or he waits to die and reunite with his family."
It is precisely for this reason that he planned such a tragic death for Aki Hayakawa...
Yuka couldn't help but feel sorry for Ren... If this news is true, the Chainsaw Man fan group she belongs to erupted in anger, and everyone said it was no wonder that Ren, the old rogue, was so crazy.
It turned out that he was really crazy.
And Yuka also expressed her own guess.
Jie Ge doesn't want to: "Maybe Aki Hayakawa is the same as before. After his brother took his parents away with a gun, his heart was dead."
Mental Patient No. 007: "It's pitiful just thinking about it... Why did his brother do this and what happened to him in the end?".
The God of Pollution is not a God of War: "I found the court verdict. He was sentenced to death and executed immediately five years ago, but the details of the case were not mentioned."
Miss Makima's Dog: "Master Ren is so miserable. His own brother killed his own parents. He's even more miserable than the Aki Hayakawa in the manga."
I Will Always Like Reze: "At least Aki Hayakawa has a goal to get revenge on later, but what about Master Ren? I guess he couldn't accept it and would commit suicide on the spot."
Jie: "Alas, that's why the old rogue Ren went crazy, so he ordered Aki Hayakawa to die like this, and he was killed by the current one, Denji!"
The King of the Infernal Devil: "It's really miserable... I'll never scold Master Ren again. Reality is even crueler than the manga."
...
After this matter was unearthed, it caused a great stir.
Not only Yuka's group is spreading the news. People are spreading it on forums, official websites, Twitter, and even on B Station. A low-tech video was created by piecing together images, and the author also added his own recording to express his opinion.
"I never thought Chainsaw Man was a true story."
"Master Ren is so miserable... His younger brother shot and killed his own parents, and then his younger brother was also sentenced to death. His originally happy and beautiful life completely collapsed."
"Aki Hayakawa was the former Sensei Ren, and Denji is the current one. He killed Aki Hayakawa, probably because he thought it would be better for him to die at the beginning..."
"Wow... You said that, I feel so sorry for Sensei Ren."
"The key is that in the manga, it was the Gun Devil who killed Aki Hayakawa's family, but in reality, it was Ren's own brother who killed Sensei Ren's family..."
"Unfortunately, he is the youngest doctor with a double degree in the Republic, and his future is promising, but suddenly bad news came that makes everyone crazy."
"No wonder he's mentally ill... If something like this happened, I'd probably commit suicide directly."
"The case happened two years after Sensei Ren first published the manga Edgerunners. It took Sensei Ren two years to get over this incident..."
"Get over it? Do you think Sensei Ren's current state seems to indicate that he has gotten over it? He has just improved a little."
"That's right... It seems that his current mental state has not gotten over it."
...
When this matter came to light, it sparked a controversy among manga fans and a great stir in the industry.
It also made Ren's relatives and friends who saw the news nervous.
Youpin Medical Equipment Company.
"Dad! Something bad has happened!".
Hiroki Sato had just finished an internal meeting and was processing and signing various documents in the office when he heard the voice of his eldest son, who had not yet arrived.
His face instantly turned cold and he felt regret.
This son of his family is not really good at literature or martial arts.
He is completely inferior to his eldest nephew, Ren, neither in academic performance nor in title.
Even in professional terms, Ren gave up his degree and specialization to devote himself to drawing manga, becoming an industry leader.
It's true that if you compare products, you discard them, and if you compare people, you get angry!
Kaito ran into Hiroki Sato's office panting.
Those in his company clearly knew the prince of their own president, so they didn't stop him at all.
"What do you think?" asked Hiroki Sato, stamping the document in his hand, and scolded him. "Can't you learn from your cousin?".
"Dad... what I want to talk about is cousin Ren's matter," said Kaito anxiously. "Now... the internet... the internet is discussing cousin Ren's matter. I don't know who brought up... the matter of the second uncle, the second aunt, and brother Sizhi."
"What?!".
Hearing Kaito's words, Hiroki Sato's eyes widened and he said, surprised.
"Dad, look."
Kaito took out his mobile phone and showed Hiroki Sato the crazy news that had been uploaded to the internet.
Seeing that the netizens had found out that his second nephew had murdered his brother and sister-in-law, and then about Ren's past, he couldn't help but feel heavier and heavier.
The most important thing is not that this matter has been discovered, but whether Ren will be informed, so that he knows and remembers the past.
Originally, according to the psychologist he hired to treat Ren, Ren probably lost his memory due to the head injury he suffered, so he couldn't remember the past.
But this is good, because Ren's mental state is now extremely stable.
Even if he has been stimulated before, his personality and values seem strange now.
But as long as Ren's mental state is stable, everything will be fine.
The most feared thing is that the person's mental fluctuations are extremely large. He may seem fine today, but he will commit suicide at night.
This situation is the most worrying.
However, Ren's mental state is strange but stable, which is very useful for subsequent psychological treatment.
But now that this has come to light on the internet, if Ren sees it... everything will be over.
"Why didn't you call me sooner?"
Hiroki Sato stood up in a panic and scolded his eldest son, Kaito.
"Dad, your phone doesn't work," said Kaito with a wry smile. "For now, let's make sure that brother Ren doesn't see this news... I called my sister-in-law to ask her to pay attention to this matter."
After hearing the second half of Kaito's words, Hiroki Sato felt a little relieved.
Apparently... his son is not so bad, at least he didn't fail at the critical moment.
But he was still very nervous and said, "Now we have to watch Ren and prevent him from getting excited... I'm on my way there right now!".
"Alright, Dad, let's go together."
Kaito and Hiroki Sato immediately went downstairs and took a car to Ren's apartment.
On the other hand, Sakura also saw the news on the internet after receiving Kaito's call.
She panicked immediately.
She was the first to find out about the matter, apart from Hiroki Sato and other relatives of Ren, who already knew.
She knew about Ren's tragic past and was determined not to let him remember it.
But now that this matter had been unearthed by manga fans on the internet... Sakura was completely stunned.
But she soon said, "No, Ren may not have seen the news on the internet. I'll call Yuka and the others to help watch Ren and prevent him from seeing the news first."
After that, Sakura immediately called Ayumi.
Because not even she knew the phone number of Yuka and Ren's other assistants.
"Hello, Ayumi."
Before Ayumi answered, Sakura said directly.
"Sakura?".
Ayumi was also very confused. Why had Sakura called her at that moment?, she asked with curiosity.
"Ayumi, something bad has happened."
Sakura said anxiously, "Ren's past has been exposed on the internet."
"Amamiya-sensei?"
However, Ayumi was unaware of Ren's past, so at that moment she was assailed by doubts and asked, "What happened to Amamiya-sensei's past?".
But she noticed the anxiety in Sakura's tone and immediately understood that the matter was not simple.
Now Sakura no longer needs to hide from anyone but Ren.
Then she said, "Ren... something very tragic happened to him. His brother shot and killed his parents, and he was sentenced to death."
"After this, Ren was traumatized and changed his name. He was injured and couldn't remember the past, which led to his current situation."
"So... you can't tell Ren about this, which would stimulate him and make him remember the past!"
