According to Xia Ran's estimate, the number of parasitic beasts in this world will not be too many.

And it is necessary to cross out those parts that have failed to parasitize and are not parasitic on humans, after all, their food is the same kind that has not been parasitized, and if there are many of them, even if they do not adhere to a healthy diet of three meals a day, or are so extravagant that they develop the habit of eating supper-

The rapidly increasing number of missing people around the world, as well as the murder of corpses, are enough to cause a huge storm.

It shouldn't be like now, although those murder cases and corpse mutilation cases have made a lot of noise, but people are more curious, and all kinds of media just think they are fresh and have enough news value.

On the whole, although human society is concerned about these phenomena, it is still vigilant enough, probably because the number of cases is within the "normal" range.

Therefore, Xia Ran felt that as long as he was careful enough, tried to avoid remote places in his usual actions, and chose public areas where people come and went for activities, he could basically ensure safety.

- Well, basically.

And in these days, he has also been to the school a few times, trying to play the role of his own arrangement, by the way, I want to see if there is any deep meaning in the white space specially arranged, maybe there are clues in the school that he has not found......

And staying in your own home all the time is not completely safe, and you may even be more likely to be targeted because you are alone at home.

In addition, after a few simple temptations, he found that the ability of the white space is very powerful and terrifying, and the identity he arranged for himself is not made out of thin air, except for the superficial information and procedures, in fact, it is out of touch with reality.

Although he still has no interpersonal interaction as always, the classmates and teachers around him don't know him at all, but they all have an impression of him, but they just seem relatively unfamiliar and unfamiliar.

In the memories of those people, it seems that Xia Ran has always existed, not some student who suddenly appeared recently, and even a teacher who is a Chinese expert remembers that he had a special exchange with him a few days ago, and the memory of chatting happily with each other......

Xia Ran didn't have that kind of fictitious memory, and he didn't know what kind of power it was at all.

However, this does not seem to be the area he needs to explore now, after confirming that the school he was placed in does not seem to have hidden branches, he began to continue to ask for leave, and continued to use the cheats of life to hoard strong acid.

To be honest, for some reason, Xia Ran has also mastered the manufacturing method of some discordant things, just like a certain cocktail enjoys a high reputation, and the recipe for its production can be said to be well known.

Not only is it easy to use, but it's also powerful.

But in the end he did not consider this solution, not only because of danger or unspeakable harmony, but also because he was only prepared to strictly follow fundamentalism at the moment and did not want anything to go wrong in this matter.

At least he only remembered that in the plot, strong acid was clear that it could corrode the parasitic beast's body, causing corrosive damage to it, making its consciousness unified, its behavior out of control, and disorganized......

……

……

Nearly a week passed.

That night, he was clicking on the computer, looking through a document that had just been sent in a short time, page by page.

"Izumi...... New ......"

Finally, he saw a name, and with a slight movement in his heart, he immediately determined that this was the name he was looking for. It's just that although this name is not a bad street, it is not the only one in the world, so he saw more than one at a glance.

Xia Ran compared all the information he tried to recall, the high school students who were still in school should be around seventeen or eighteen years old, and their parents should still be alive at this time...... Then the other ineligible options were ruled out, and the target was initially locked.

If nothing else, that was the person he was looking for, but it didn't seem to be in the city. It would be a little more difficult for him to find the other party, although the city didn't seem too far away, and he searched the Internet to make sure that the tram could reach it directly.

The journey takes about 40 minutes......

After a quick weighing, Xia Ran decisively took out his mobile phone and asked for leave again for the cheap head teacher who was currently arranged.

It's just that during the call, the other party seemed to be dissatisfied with his plan to take a one-month vacation in one go, and his tone was also hard.

However, it's none of his business, the other party is just a middle-aged uncle, and he is a bald kind of middle-aged uncle, so he doesn't need to have a good relationship. Anyway, it's not Hiratsuka, Xia Ran doesn't care what the other party thinks.

If it weren't for the need to avoid unnecessary trouble, he wouldn't even have the idea of making a phone call.

After doing this, he checked the doors and windows that had been tightly blocked for the past two days - mainly to prevent the silent invasion of the parasitic beast larvae, and the protagonist of the plot was sleeping when a larvae crawled in through the window.

Then he simply threw himself on the bed and prepared to rest.

Despite the unfamiliar environment, and even though the situation seemed terrible, the past experience helped him adapt to the pressure. If ordinary people were in such an environment, they might already be on the verge of collapse.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, the ringtone of his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Xia Ran was very confused and reached out and fumbled for the phone, opened his hazy sleepy eyes and just glanced at it, and suddenly a spirit! He sat up all at once, staring at the new email on the screen.

What the heck? It's already this time, and the cheap head teacher wants to visit his home? And already on the way, get yourself ready? Is this the cheap head teacher who is very dissatisfied with his attendance during this period of time, and is ready to come over and reprimand him in person?

And what to prepare, what is ready to do? Didn't he know that he lived alone?

Wait, this situation is very abnormal, maybe he just knew that he lived alone, so he was ready to come to the door?

Subconsciously glanced at the current time, Xia Ran suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, especially when the cheap teacher was on the phone before, that kind of hard tone, now in retrospect, it seems that there is no emotion.

After taking a closer look at his current situation, Xia Ran suddenly found that he was really a good target to hunt.

Alone......

There is no interpersonal interaction......

Just called for a little long vacation......

In this case, if Xia Ran really died at home, who could know? I'm afraid that even if the cheap head teacher came to visit at night, no one would know about it.

He thought about it for a moment, and then seemed to have an idea—

Decisively jumped out of bed, put on shoes, and quickly changed into clothes suitable for movement. Then he threw the new mobile phone he bought the day before yesterday on the bed in the bedroom, and went straight downstairs to leave the house, locking the door by the way.

The street is not remote, and at night it is not uninhabited, and many houses are lit up, and there is a faint sound of conversation and laughter. It's just that Xia Ran shuddered at the thought that some of them might just be parasitic beasts in human skin.

But it shouldn't be so unlucky, the number of parasitic beasts is not so large that you can go downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, and you can meet the extent of nine.

Xia Ran tried to suppress his cranky thoughts, and then carefully and silently rolled into the courtyard of the opposite resident.

He kept an eye out for the family in the room, ready to hide if someone came out, and carefully picked up any sounds of the road outside.

After thinking about it, he took out his phone and turned off all the sound flashes, and then carefully lifted the side of the camera over the wall a little bit to take pictures of the scene outside.

Although the parasitic beast's conventional perception ability doesn't seem to be particularly terrifying, there are also cases in the animation where they are attacked by human thugs and hit their heads with a steel pipe, as for the effect, it can at least prove that they are not lifeforms without dead ends and weaknesses.

However, this is a real world, Xia Ran is currently just a battle scumbag without any positive combat effectiveness, he doesn't want to take risks, what if the other party is really a parasitic beast, and his perception ability is exaggerated enough to be able to sense the sight of others?

It didn't take too long, but in this case, the mental drain on the person was great.

Of course, Xia Ran has patience far beyond his peers, so he doesn't feel that there is anything he can't persevere, he is still distracted and listens to the movements in the room behind him, looking back from time to time, while focusing on the road outside the yard.

Time is ticking by second.

Finally, faint footsteps were heard not far away, and a long shadow appeared under the range of the street lamp, and before the person arrived, the shadow had already spread.

When that person got closer, Xia Ran's heart sank slightly, that person was his cheap head teacher, a middle-aged bald man, with an excessively square face and decent clothes.

It's just that his face is expressionless at all, stiff and indifferent.

Seeing this, Xia Ran was even more sure of his guess, maybe this guy had been occupied by a parasitic beast and replaced by a parasitic beast......

He held his breath as he watched as the man came to his doorstep and stood still, glanced up at the unlit room, and then took his phone out of his pocket, as if texting.

Half a minute later, a new email was silently sent to Xia Ran's mobile phone, he was secretly glad for his previous setup, and squatted behind the wall and carefully replied to the opposite side of an email-

The student, who pretended not to know anything, said in a slightly weak tone in the face of the teacher's surprise inspection that the reason why he asked for leave was actually because he had already gone away because of something at the moment, and he would not be able to come back in a few days......

After sending the email, he continued to use his phone to spy on the man outside.

He saw the head teacher put his phone away after reading the message, and then strode into his yard.

- Click!

From such a distance, a clicking sound could be clearly heard, as if the door lock had been violently broken, and the figure of the man who showed strong wrist strength disappeared into the darkness behind the door.

Xia Ran held his breath tightly, if it was just his speculation and inclination before, then now he was basically sure-

It was a parasitic beast that was foraging for food, and found its target tonight.
