Chapter 40: Cold-Blooded

Because Izumi Shinichi and Mamoru Uda both disagreed, the hunt plan did not start as scheduled.

It's not that the two of them have any pity and compassion for the parasitic beast, and they don't think it's easy to start.

It's that they think that this plan is really too reckless, and it is really too impulsive, how can there be such a ...... And if nothing else, what if it's a trap at all?

For these opinions, Xia Ran gave up the original straightforward plan after thinking about it very seriously, not only because there was no need to cause any unpleasantness with his important companions, but also because he felt that he might have taken it for granted.

After all, not everyone is like him-

Because I have seen the plot beforehand, I have the advantage of foresight, and I have more information, which allows me to judge the nature of a person or event in advance......

After all, this is a real world, and everyone is a living person, flesh and blood. Even parasitic beasts have their own personalities and thoughts, and because each person has different personalities and different views, even for the same thing, they will inevitably have different opinions and thoughts.

Therefore, he cannot force others to unconditionally agree with all his proposals, to go along with all his own opinions, and to take everything according to himself, and even to have opposing opinions.

I'm right, others are wrong – and if that's the case, then the person must be arrogant.

So after self-reflection, Xia Ran also felt that he might have bred some subtle cognition and psychology because of the smooth progress of this time.

Obviously, when he was before, he always doubted whether the plot impression in his memory was reliable...... After all, this is a real world, so the plot can only be used as a reference, and it can't be completely superstitious, otherwise, it's easy to pit yourself to death......

But in the recent period, with the help of the intelligence advantage of plot information, he affirmed several key "points" one after another-

Xia Ran also unconsciously had such a cognitive change, that is, he felt that since the correctness of so many plots had been proven, the subsequent plots would also be correct, and there would be no errors.

Izumi Shinichi was parasitized on his right hand......

Mamoru Uda is jaw parasitic......

Izumi Shinichi's mother would be attacked while she was on a trip......

These are all things that have happened, so Hideo Shimada must be the same impression as he imagined, right? It must be like this, there will be no deviation......

Maybe there really won't be an error, maybe Shimada Hideo really just killed it, and it would be a waste of time to confirm and investigate it specifically for this.

But the problem is not in this aspect, but in the emergence of his cognitive ideas, which is itself a very dangerous trend.

Maybe this time it's right, and the next time it's right...... But if he continues like this, how can he guarantee that he will always be so smooth and smooth in the future? Fate can't always be on his side, right?

It is never wrong to use the impression of the plot as a reference and verify it carefully, but it should not be absolutely superstitious about the plot. Moreover, when his "butterfly", which does not exist in the original system, appears, it is necessary to consider the problem of variables.

Therefore, after self-reflection, Xia Ran proposed a more acceptable plan, which is to first take some time to observe Hideo Shimada's words and deeds to confirm whether what he said is consistent with his own behavior.

If this parasitic beast can really not eat people, as it says it is, then it is naturally the best, but if it is just a lie, then it is enough to kill it directly......

Anyway, it won't be too delayed, because parasitic beasts also need to eat-

Even now that the authorities have launched a sweep, they will not change their physiological needs.

……

……

Because when the official swept away the parasitic beasts, it also swept away the underworld forces that had been active during this period of time.

So the city was rarely calm for a few days, but only for a few days.

Although the parasitic beasts are not unaware of the critical situation at the moment, it is best to avoid the limelight, and the most correct thing to do is to lie dormant for a period of time and not show their heads.

However, "eating" is not only an instinct engraved deep in the genes of their species, but also a natural physiological need, just as humans need to eat and drink...... It does not mean that the situation is critical, and people can skip food and drink.

If the parasitic animal wants to live and sustain its life, it must replenish nutrients, and no matter what the situation, it is impossible to change this basic principle...... This is an indisputable fact.

However, the official is also not soft, as soon as the clues are found, they will immediately be crushed by thunder, and it seems that they are ready to fight a protracted war. Anyway, in the face of enough modern firepower, the parasites will not have any power to resist.

Theoretically, it should be like this, until a few days later, when the news appeared that an underworld group had been slaughtered by an unknown person.

“…… There was a homicide incident in the office of the violent organization, 22 people died, all the team members in the office died, and the scene was ......"

As soon as he swiped such news on his mobile phone, Xia Ran directly squinted his eyes, judging that this should be done by the combined monster.

It seems to be an experiment to test how well they can fight armed groups...... Is it finally starting now?

Speaking of which, it may be because of his chaotic entry and the butterfly effect that he emitted, the current world line has indeed changed a lot compared to the original plot, or much earlier.

For example, the parasitic beasts in the city will form a group in the later stage, and the boss of the group will run for mayor or something, and they will become an organized, disciplined, and premeditated group, which is even more dangerous and terrifying.

The group has even prepared a public "canteen" for parasitic beasts, so that those parasitic animals no longer need to scatter around hunting and increase the risk of exposure.

It's just that it seems that they haven't developed to this extent yet, and they probably won't develop to this extent in the future, because the official has developed relevant screening technologies in advance and removed the internal moths, and then it is naturally impossible to give species like parasitic beasts the opportunity to easily blend into the upper echelons of the system.

Therefore, these monsters did not set up an organizational group to form a public "canteen" for the benefit of the majority of compatriots...... So much so that most of the scattered parasitic beasts still need to forage for food on their own, and then they are hit hard by the authorities.

The only thing that has appeared so far is probably the news of this monster that has five parasitic beasts combined.

Now they are so eager to carry out actual combat tests, and even take such a risk, knowing that they are still going against the trend of the recent crackdown, probably because they are being forced by human beings step by step to be helpless, right? So they urgently need to master the power that can be slightly countered, and the initial results have been obtained.

Then, it is estimated that it will soon be time to act, and there may not be a few days left for me to stay in this world.

Glancing at the time, it was estimated that it was about to be time for Izumi Shinichi to get out of school, Xia Ran stood up directly and walked out of the room, and greeted Mamoru Uda.

Izumi Shinichi's parents solemnly asked them to pay attention to their safety as always, and hoped that they would take care of their son...... In this regard, Xia Ran naturally agreed, but it was not clear what he was slandering in his heart.

People are the protagonists of the plot, whether it is "protagonist halo" or "real luck", it is estimated that it is standard, if something really happens, it is impossible to say who will take care of whom.

After going out, Xia Ran and Uda Mamoru went straight to Izumi Shinichi's school, and after walking a few times, they were all familiar with this road. There are also a lot of pedestrians on the road as the road leads directly to the school.

Therefore, in addition to students, there are many parents who are not at ease, and they are spontaneously escorting their children to and from school.

Compared to other off-the-beaten-path roads in the vicinity, this route is more popular and safer. Therefore, over time, even other irrelevant people will subconsciously choose this route to walk, even if it takes a little more time, takes a little more detour or something.

This is one of the reasons for the extreme imbalance in the city's current traffic conditions.

Some roads or areas are so crowded and crowded that it is like participating in a multi-sport that includes boxing, sanda, taekwondo, judo, yoga, balance beam and other sports and fitness programs.

There are also places where there is not a single figure to be seen, rats don't want to go from there, and it is so desolate and secluded that it seems to be Raccoon City where Resident Evil has occurred, except that there are no corpses...... Oh no, there may be corpses, that's not a good thing.

Xia Ran no longer wears a hat, and she no longer needs to be too careful to hide her identity.

After all, there are ridiculously many wanted criminals during this time, and it is difficult for the public to bother to remember so many dangerous people, and he has long been forgotten by the world because of the outdated Internet celebrity he was two months ago.

When approaching the school, Mamoru Uda's mobile phone rang, and the two got a notification from Izumi Shinichi, so they quickly changed their route and entered the remote areas in a roundabout way.

However, the two of them were not too familiar with the route, because they were not people nearby, so they wasted some time until the consciousness reaction of the two parasitic beasts appeared within the maximum sensing range of the straight-line distance in front of them.

When they arrived at the scene, they found that it was a brutal slaughter.

The cold blood had stained a large area of the ground, and the intestines and internal organs had also flowed all over the ground, and there was a girl's body lying on the cold ground, and the head and part of the neck were directly bitten off by something.

Izumi Shinichi stood next to the corpse, his left fist clenched angrily, and his alienated right hand was confronting a parasitic beast on the opposite side.

The parasite on the other side was wearing the same school uniform as him, but the part of its neck had become the main part of the parasitic beast with teeth and claws......
