Chapter 25: Mamoru Uda joins the team
He didn't say anything about Xia Ran just now, and he rushed over and wanted to cut off his dog's head, but Mamoru Uda didn't mind much about it.
After hearing the other party say that it was the reason for hunting parasitic beasts, he almost immediately expressed his understanding, thinking that the other party probably regarded himself as that kind of man-eating monster, after all, before this, even he couldn't distinguish the identity of the other party.
He had only heard from his parasitic beast that a fellow of the same kind had come, so he was also anxiously thinking about what kind of monster would come.
- Because parasitic beasts can only sense the wavelength of the same kind within a certain range, but there is no way to immediately and accurately distinguish whether the other party is a complete body or a partial parasitic special case.
It is necessary to wait until you are close to face to face to confirm this fact.
It is precisely because the other party is the same person as himself, which makes Uda Mamoru can't help but burst into tears, and he is so moved, it turns out that he is not absolutely alone in this world!
Ahh
And in this case, the previous little misunderstanding was not a problem at all, and Mamoru Uda quickly forgot about it, and it was a feeling that he didn't care at all.
Seeing this situation, Xia Ran couldn't help but feel a little subtle, this guy is too easy to talk, right?
Although it is true that he had no real hostility from the beginning, what he did was only from the perspective of "rationalization", after all, he should not have known Mamoru Uda in theory, nor should he know the real situation of the other party in advance...... But it did really scare the man in front of him enough.
"Yes, yes, yes! I didn't expect that there would be another example like my situation! ”
At this time, Mamoru Uda's chin was deformed and stretched again, and two tentacles grew, two big eyes opened at the top of the tentacles, and a mouth appeared in the middle, and he said with a big grin.
The tone is very lively, as if a child is full of interest in what is happening now, and the tone of the voice seems to be the feeling of an innocent and ignorant child.
"I thought it was a real kind of person, so I wanted to see what a creature like me was like......
"Hmm——!!"
Although Xia Ran had long known that the other party's parasitic beast was in the chin, he still had no psychological preparation, and at this moment, the other party suddenly appeared, which naturally scared him, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
It's an instinctive human reaction, and it's no wonder he's honest, if he hadn't just put the grenade launcher away, he might have thrown a sulfuric acid bomb or a flame bomb over him.
Looking at the face of an ancient god with his chin extended tentacles, and the difficult appearance of trying to stuff the parasitic beast back, Xia Ran couldn't help but congratulate himself on his foresight, but sacrificed his left hand.
If it's like this man, if he turns into an ancient god face, then it's really a cup......
- I guess if it really comes to that time, he is afraid that he will even have the heart to commit suicide.
"Don't come out of nowhere, it's easy to scare other people's ......" Uda Mamoru finally regained control, he rubbed his chin to return to normal, and said dissatisfiedly, and looked at Xia Ran apologetically.
"That's right...... It's not a big problem, your partner has a lot of personality. ”
Xia Ran coughed twice, and at the same time raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses, revealing a hearty smile.
"I'd rather it wasn't so personal...... By the way, let's introduce it, I'll call it Parasite......"
Mamoru Uda smiled bitterly, touching his chin, as if he felt very resigned to what was happening to him, and couldn't help but look at Xia Ran's left hand again with an obvious envy look.
Then, he was about to introduce his unique chin, but before he could say the name he had given the parasite, his jaw quickly deformed again, and he shouted loudly—
"That's right, that's right! It's Parasite! Parasite…… Parasite……”
It's like a kid who has gotten some new toy and can't wait to show it off.
“……”
“……”
Seeing Mamoru Uda scrambling with his chin again, wanting to regain control of his mouth and the right to speak, Xia Ran couldn't help but feel sad for him, this guy is living a little difficult.
And just look at the name he gave his parasitic beast—
The so-called "Parasite" ...... Isn't that what "parasite" means?
Parasite himself had no idea about it...... No, it's impossible not to know, right? After all, the parasitic beast has such a strong learning ability, and English is definitely not such a difficult language, and it will not take two days to master.
No matter how bad it is, you can also look up the meaning of that English word. So it can only be said that Mamoru Uda is very dissatisfied with the parasitic beast in his jaw, but due to the different species, the perspective of looking at the problem is also different-
So the latter didn't feel that this was a slander against himself, but accepted the name Parasite with great pleasure.
It was not easy for Mamoru Uda to stuff the Parasite back again, becoming a little out of breath, and at the same time looking at Xia Ran, although he didn't speak, the meaning in his sight was very clear.
"My ...... You can just call it Xiao Zuo, anyway, the name or something is just a code name. ”
Xia Ran said casually, he wouldn't bother about this kind of thing, so he directly gave his left hand a simple and easy-to-understand name.
"That's right...... Xiao Zuo, hello? ”
Mamoru Uda nodded, then stared at Xia Ran's left hand and said hello cautiously.
“……”
“……”
"Why does it ignore me?" Mamoru Uda turned his head to look at Xia Ran himself with some confusion, wondering if it was a question of whether he was unpopular.
"Xiao Zuo doesn't like to talk much, and he doesn't like to come out, if it's not necessary, he usually stays like this......" Xia Ran explained, waving his left hand by the way, and it was true that nothing had changed.
However, what he said is also true, and the common denominator of some parasitic beasts seems to be that they will depend on the nutrients in the host's blood to survive, so they lose their cannibalistic instincts to kill and eat, and are closer to real intelligent creatures than simple beasts.
But other than that, it's hard to be the same in other places, and parasites are prone to different personalities depending on how the host behaves, how they get along, and their short and different upbringing.
For example, Izumi Shinichi's right hand is a rational and decisive character, while Mamoru Uda's chin is clearly a chatterbox, and he feels overly active and active.
As for Xia Ran's left hand, he is quiet and doesn't like to communicate, probably because the host directly increased the point to 20 spiritual points, and suppressed the parasitic beast at the beginning and gained more dominance.
So in the short and precious growth process, it has formed such a character, even if Xia Ran does not take the initiative to shield it, but if it is not necessary, it will still remain dormant.
Basically, he may not say three words a day, which also makes Xia Ran feel comfortable, and secretly praises his decision to add all his points to his spirit-
Because of this situation, most of the time he feels that his left hand has not changed, that he has not lost any part of his body, and that there is nothing more.
"This ...... That's ......."
Uda Mamoru didn't know the specific reason, but after listening to Xia Ran explain the style of his left hand, he couldn't help but be even more envious.
How do you feel like it's the same life at all! is also parasitized, his alienated body parts are so inexplicable, but the other party's is so normal, and even the character of the parasitic beast is so easy to get along with?
It really shouldn't be!
Could it be that the other party has actually recharged the money? Anyway, where is the krypton channel, he also wants to become a VIP player!
"Ahem, then again, Uda, what do you think of that proposal I just made? …… Although it's just me now, and you're only two. ”
Xia Ran raised his fist to his mouth, coughed lightly, cleared his throat and directly brought the topic back on track.
"You must have already noticed that the catastrophe caused by the parasitic beast is spreading, and most of the situation will not be as mild as what happened to us...... I'm not saying that with great power comes great responsibility, but I still want to do something. ”
He couldn't make any excuses that were too high-sounding, but he had to find an explanation for his actions.
"I, I know, Parasite told me before, but I'm not sure at all, and I don't dare to do anything."
Mamoru Uda nodded very hard, and said very loudly as if to prove his determination.
"So I joined! I wanted to do what I could, and you're the first companion I've ever met! I will definitely help you, you can rest assured of this! ”
This man's personality is somewhat contradictory, if he is alone, then he can't do anything, and he doesn't dare to do it.
But if he has a companion, he seems to have found the backbone, even if he knows that the task is very dangerous, he will force himself to face it bravely, just like in the original book, in order to delay time for Izumi Shinichi, he faced another complete parasitic beast alone.
In the end, he didn't complain that his heart was pierced - although Parasite manipulated his body to move his heart out of place prematurely, avoiding death, it was enough to prove his unusual courage.
This is a man who can't do anything when he only has himself, but if he has a companion, then he is a trustworthy teammate.
"Very good, then we will directly double the number of members of the hunting team...... Or, a third person is coming. Xia Ran patted the other party's shoulder with satisfaction, feeling that the plan had been perfectly achieved.
Uda Mamoru smiled a little shyly, and felt strange in his heart, obviously he was already a man who got married and divorced, why did he always feel that the high school student in front of him was more assertive and stable than himself.
The other party's words and deeds are taken for granted, and there is no lack of confidence for minors in the face of adults, which is a little strange.
But this thought only flashed through his mind, and Mamoru Uda didn't bother with it, because his jaw suddenly deformed again, and the Parasite that came out shouted loudly-
"Oh oh oh, there's another breath of the same kind...... It's getting closer! ”
