Chapter 18: Handsome for no more than three seconds
After remembering this, Xia Ran acted decisively.
However, he only remembered the keyword "Sakurazaki Hospital", and after doing his homework, he could only confirm the approximate location, and since the specific time was unknown, he had to go there in advance to make sure of it.
It's not that I want to sell favors to the protagonist, after all, strictly speaking, there are at least two intuitively visible benefits in this matter-
First, this seems to be a direct interference with the main plot, according to the basic information guidance in the consciousness, it is completely certain that once it succeeds, the result will be a significant increase in interference, and the rewards will be relatively rich.
Second, the parasitic beast was extremely weak and almost in a state of self-preservation, and it was parasitic on a girl's body at first, but when he went to a picnic with the girl's boyfriend, he had a traffic accident.
Because he didn't know the purpose of the seat belt, he didn't wear the seat belt, so in the car accident, the parasitic host's body organs were broken and on the verge of death, while the boyfriend next to him survived because of the protection of the seat belt.
The parasitic beast sensed that the parasitic body was about to die and had to change its body immediately, so it cut off its own body from the girl's body and transferred it to the man's head.
It didn't think it would be a problem, but it didn't expect that the difference in body structure between men and women was even bigger than it imagined, and it was definitely not a simple change in the operation mode from a controller to a keyboard and mouse.
This makes it difficult for it to unify its body consciousness, control its body movements poorly, like a walking corpse, and even pee its pants due to incontinence......
So the parasitic beast had no choice but to start the idea of transferring back to the familiar female body, and a certain couple who happened to be on a trip between the two of them, that is, Izumi Shinichi's parents, suffered because of this.
- The husband watched his wife being killed in front of his eyes, and it was not with great difficulty that he escaped......
- The parasitic beast occupies his wife's body and prepares to go back to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but he doesn't expect her husband to come back, so he kills his son Izumi Shinichi who refuses to face reality.
But if you take advantage of it, before it completes its second head change, it's a perfect target for hunting. The reward is high, the risk is small, and it can be called the best cost performance in the audience, Xia Ran pondered that he really had no reason to let it go.
And personal likes and dislikes are also a very important determining factor, Xia Ran really doesn't like to see that kind of tragedy unfold.
There are not so many excuses, very honest, and that is that he doesn't like it.
……
……
I found Sakurazaki Hospital, and then used it as a center to investigate the surrounding area.
Because of the lack of impressiveness, Xia Ran also forgot where the incident occurred, but vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a cliff by the sea.
When the protagonist's mother was killed, the father was able to escape by falling into the sea, and then called his son to warn him when he was injured, and then he was admitted to Sakurazaki Hospital in a coma for treatment, which shows that the hospital is not too far away from the place of the incident.
According to this limited and vague clue, Xia Ran locked on several suspected locations, and spent two days familiarizing himself with the terrain, and made some righteous preparations by the way. It's not much, but it can work wonders when it matters most.
It is better to be prepared than to be unprepared, and he would rather that he has wasted his time and energy and done useless work, rather than realize that he has not prepared anything when he really needs to use these preparations.
Immediately afterwards, a certain hotel that he had been staring at also welcomed two special guests on this morning.
It was a couple, the husband was obviously a little old, and the wife was no longer young, but relatively speaking, they were not so old, and the two sides looked very affectionate, not a superficial couple who were in the same bed and had different dreams.
The two seem to be out to travel and relax, but they don't follow the group, but the two of them are sweetly looking for some beautiful places to play alone, even the guide is not needed, it seems that they want more time and space for the two to be alone.
That's true, and probably, they're safer than in the city.
But helplessly, no matter how small the probability of a small event, as long as the probability is not completely zero, then it is still possible. The two of them were so lucky to meet a parasitic beast with a brain pump, who left the prosperous big city hunting grounds with many opportunities and came to a remote rural place to commit crimes.
And there happened to be some problems, and I urgently needed to change my head twice...... It's a parasitic beast with a problem with its head in the true sense of the word.
- I have to say, this is really a tragedy.
It's just that this is not the fate that the two of them can know now, the two couples are still enjoying life, going out for a walk in the scenic places during the day, going back to the hotel at night to rest, exchanging feelings and discussing the recent changes in their son by the way.
Xia Ran is not a stalker, but he still hangs behind the two couples during the day, intentionally or unintentionally, and he follows wherever the two go. Although his tracking skills are not good, he is fast and responsive.
The two couples had no sense of anti-reconnaissance, and second, they didn't think that the two of them would be followed, so they didn't find out at all.
Of course, this situation did not last long, although Xia Ran had enough patience.
But at noon on the third day, after lunch, the couple set off again. Listening to the discussion, this time their destination was one of the suspected locations.
Xia Ran, who was sitting next to them, was suddenly in good spirits, so after the two of them checked out and left the restaurant, they also decisively went out and pushed a motorcycle they had prepared before.
It took more than three hours to play while walking along the way, and the couple was really relaxing on the trip, rather than in a hurry to go somewhere.
So it wasn't until the sun set that the two couples appeared on the cliffs by the sea to watch the scenery.
And someone who keeps a distance behind them, doesn't follow closely and doesn't easily pull away, walks when it's time to walk, and drives when it's time to drive, patience is also really good, it's completely a feeling of not being in a hurry or impatient.
Instead, he took this opportunity to deduce the plans that he might use next over and over again, and by the way, he strengthened his battlefield psychological hints.
All in all, it's just a sentence, and on the surface, it looks like all three of them are here to travel.
……
……
The time has finally come to this moment.
Under the afterglow of the golden sun, the endless sea shimmered and sparkled, and the sea breeze blew in the face, and the sound of the waves was endless.
Standing on the cliff high above the sea, overlooking the infinite scenery composed of sunset, sunset, and seascape, Izumi Shinichi's mother couldn't help but sigh like this-
"It's a beautiful sunset."
"yes, it's worth taking a taxi here." Izumi Shinichi's father said with his hands in his pockets behind him, looking at his wife and smiling.
“……”
“……”
"When are we going to bring a new belt and come here again?"
After quietly looking at the scenery for a while, the wife finally turned around, reached out and pressed the hat on her head that seemed to be blown away at any time in the sea breeze, and said gently. Her eyes were full of longing, as if she saw a happy family of three in the future.
"Hahaha, you really don't forget Shinichi wherever you go......" The husband couldn't help but lowered his head and shook his head, as if he sighed helplessly.
Then, he looked up again to continue, but his pupils shrank sharply to the size of a pinpoint.
"Nobuko ——?!"
Behind his smiling wife, I don't know when a "man" figure suddenly appeared standing there, under his neck was indeed a man in a suit, and above his neck was a deformed and disgusting "big snail".
The disgusting flesh like a skinned frog, the huge eyeballs growing from the tips of the two tentacles, and the huge bone blades that extend and deform from the tentacles on both sides are slowly opening under the afterglow of the setting sun, reflecting the cold light like steel......
"Huh?"
The woman was also confused, she didn't know what was happening behind her, but she looked behind her husband with some unresponsiveness, because a figure rushed over, almost in the blink of an eye, rushed past her husband, and came to her.
- The speed of this explosion was a little too fast for her to react.
"Get down ——!!"
The next moment, she felt a huge force suddenly coming from her head, and the whole person didn't even have time to scream, she was slammed on her head by an extremely rough hand and pressed to the ground.
There seemed to be a flash of knife light in the air, and several long strands of hair were broken in a flash, and instantly dispersed and fluttered away with the sea breeze, and in the blink of an eye, I didn't know where it was blown to.
- Bang!
The next moment, a deafening voice sounded!
"Ah——!!h As soon as the woman struggled to raise her head, her face was still covered with dust and grass clippings, she was startled, and suddenly subconsciously screamed, trying to climb away with her hands and feet.
Xia Ran ignored her, but looked pained, grinned and lowered his left hand, and the barrel of the grenade launcher in his hand fell weakly...... Well, he suspected that his left hand was dislocated.
This parasitic beast is really weak, it can't even control its body well, and it walks with a shaky look like a zombie virus has attacked. Probably because of this, Izumi Shinichi's father was able to escape in the face of a parasitic beast alone......
It's a miracle.
After all, it would take a full parasitic beast three seconds at most to kill an entire class of students.
And the appearance of this miracle also shows that the state of this parasitic beast is really extremely poor, and the movements of its tentacles are no longer much faster than the full force of ordinary people.
In the opinion of Xia Ran, whose agility attribute has reached 12 points, which is a little more than twice that of ordinary people in terms of numerical value alone, and the actual increase is more than the numerical performance, his speed and reflexes have completely surpassed that of the dying parasitic beast.
So much so that when he was just fully concentrating, he saw that the other party's actions almost turned into slow motion like intensified slow motion.
So he took advantage of his speed faster than the parasitic beast, saw more clearly, and even had enough room to think, pressed down on the mother with one hand, and kicked the parasitic beast to lose its balance and stagger backwards.
Then he lifted the grenade launcher with one hand and pulled the trigger on the parasitic beast that had pulled a certain distance......
Well, a very smooth and fast series of movements, as if flowing smoothly.
It's a pity that he is only handsome for three seconds, because he only has agility beyond ordinary people, but his attributes in other aspects are still like that, and his strength attribute is even only 4 points, so it is indeed handsome to shoot with one hand......
