Act Twenty-One: The Night of Parasitism

The earth is crumbling.

The brain is trembling.

The earthquake caused by the nuclear bomb set off a tsunami.

Minato-ku, Chuo-ku, and Chiyoda wards were swallowed by the sea one after another.

The tentacles of Tokyo Bay reach to the edge of Shinjuku City.

People who were lucky enough to escape the collapse of the building thought that they would survive the catastrophe, but found that they could not escape.

……

Surging shores.

The flame-clad monster core tumbled rapidly, breaking through the window.

Precise shot into a body trapped in the safety zone of the earthquake triangle.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

The sound of a heartbeat.

"Environmental Testing......

Fit for Survival......

Activated?

Activation! ”

A tiny red strand of flesh poked out from the core of the monster, constantly touching and exploring.

Absorb the nutrients as much as you can, and then multiply.

There are more and more wriggling shreds of flesh.

Took control of the heart.

Mastered breathing.

Occupied the brain.

"All memories have been picked up."

The young body, which stopped convulsing, suddenly opened its eyes.

In the silence of the night, there was an indescribable strange sound.

The sound was like rusty clockwork in a clock.

Although it could still turn, the harsh and piercing sound was like a fingernail scratching on a blackboard.

"I ...... Change...... Yes...... Person...... Finish? ”

"No!"

"Nope!"

Aragaki sensed something unusual.

Although it can perceive every inch of its body, it is not as natural as a real human.

Perceive carefully.

Heart rate

Blood flow rate.

The amount of oxygen ingested per breath.

The whole body is like an extremely sophisticated instrument, feeding back all the data.

The core of all this is no longer the brain of the body.

Rather, it is parasitic on the edges of the liver and heart, a tiny core hidden in the deepest part of the body.

On the surface, they are people, but they are not people.

Aragaki figured out his condition and continued to begin to adjust to the new body, he opened his mouth and said the name of the body, "Shin...... Wall...... Elegant...... One ......"

The pronunciation of the words gradually became coherent, and the strange intonation seemed to have become normal.

Shuichi Aragaki raised his eerie, ninety-degree arm bent outward, and pulled down the lamp rope with a sense of incongruity.

"Smack."

The lights are not on.

The crackling sparks of the broken wires hit the ceiling within reach.

Heavy dampness and the unknown smell of decay burrowed into the nostrils and inhaled into the lungs.

Shuichi Aragaki sat up against the wall, and realized that the air he breathed was filled with a pale green mist.

The human body is really weak.

"Ahem, ahem."

Aragaki's face became greener and greener, and his limbs began to become paralyzed.

The floor creaked as it shattered.

The sound is getting closer.

Through the cracks of the ruins, a lump of green soft mud squeezed in.

It squirmed in front of Shuichi Aragaki and stared down on its fragile prey with eyes the size of a mung bean.

It's time to start.

The semi-green transparent esophagus pops out of front of it and inserts into the body of its prey.

Red blood is pumped out non-stop.

Mung Bean's eyes showed a look of enjoyment.

As long as you suck this body up, you can evolve.

It has a brain the size of a melon seed, completely unaware that a catastrophe is coming.

Thin threads of the same color as blood probe into the esophagus.

The moment the red shredded flesh penetrated into the soft mud body, Aragaki Shuichi could give the same order, "Consume nutrients." ”

His blood vessels were suctioned, and the blood in his soft esophagus flowed backwards.

Even the energetic bodily fluids in its body are ingested into its body.

It's going to be squeezed dry!

Not a drop left!

Still flickering sparks, illuminating the shriveled skin of the ooze alone.

Shuichi Aragaki with a red face looked at the far end of his body, "Why haven't I gotten bigger?" ”

At the same time, he felt the overflowing energy spill through his body, wreaking havoc.

Any damage will instantly draw energy to repair it, but it is like a wall that prevents the body from becoming stronger even a point.

The internal organs continue to explode and restore the new wall, and the attribute panel is called out.

System user: Aragaki

Power: 0.1

Speed: 0.05

Defense: 0.05

Agility: 0.05

Constitution: F grade (very low)

Radiation value: 126/100000000

Shuichi Aragaki frowned at his poor attributes.

His brow tightened even more when he saw the ability below that was almost entirely gray unusable.

Acid Cavity (Not Available), Hypermetallic Skin (Not Available), Psychedelic Defense (Not Available), ......

All that can be used is the innate ability: read-write.

There is also a cure (activated).

It seems that the problem lies in this solidification skill.

Solidification (Instructions for use: Individuals whose skills continue to be solidified, the total amount of genes and cells solidified unchanged)

Other words......

During the curing period, can you no longer become stronger just by eating?

It's so weak......

But...... I don't feel hungry now.

Does this skill also ban negative statuses?

In that case, wouldn't I have become an ordinary high school student?

How can we get out of this ruin?

Several thoughts flashed through Shuichi Aragagaki's brain, which kept blowing up his brain due to the raging energy, and his eyes finally fell on the shriveled skin of the soft mud.

His fingers touched the skin.

Write – puffer fish bulking gene.

Written into the gene for seaweed oxygen production.

Write......

Countless fragments of genes were written into the dying skin.

Aragaki used his fingers to inject energy into his body.

The shriveled skin greedily sucks up the surrounding carbon dioxide to produce oxygen, and swells rapidly like an angry pufferfish.

There was more and more oxygen in the epidermis, the pressure was getting stronger and stronger, and the cement slab on the head was propped up like a jack.

Shuichi Aragaki walked through the gap and climbed to the ground.

In the middle of summer, snow falls in Tokyo, wrapped in the dust of a nuclear bomb falling to the ground.

Radiation +1

Radiation +1

Radiation +1

……

Aragaki Shuichi was silent for a moment, only to find out that the rice people of Teniang were not dropping a clean and hygienic hydrogen bomb, but a dirty bomb with super feeding.

I didn't want to blow myself up at the beginning, but I wanted to kill myself.

Cunning rice animal!

"Hey! Little sister, I'm still wandering the streets so late, I don't have a place to live! Let's go with my brothers, they have a big and spacious safe house! ”

Even if Japan is the end of the world, there must be a bad one?

Shuichi Aragaki looked at the gangsters in the snow, wanting to see how soon they would die due to radiation, but heard a cry for help, "Help me!" Help me! ”

Although I am not a human being, I can't die without help.

Shuichi Aragaki sighed and walked over to the gangsters.

"You kid acquaintance, get out of my way!"

As he shouted, he shook his hand, and his sharp nails split the snowflakes in half. It's like threatening Shuichi Aragaki, and if you take a step further, you'll be like a snowflake.

"Big brother! Don't let him go! Look at his fine skin and tender meat, I can do it! I happen to have a set of women's clothes from the supermarket over there! ”

The eldest brother's eyes lit up, "You kid stay away from me." ”

"Then I'll go!"

Shuichi Aragaki punched and hammered on the stomach of the dead perverted thug.

The thug fell to his knees, curled up like a skinny shrimp, foaming at the mouth.

"How dare you resist!"

The bad boss swung the blade of his nails and slashed at it.
