Chapter 5: Day 1: You Cried
What am I going to do?
I involuntarily furrowed my brows, my heart filled with contradictions.
To be honest, I've considered the question of whether I can do anything to humans parasitized by alien organisms, but that's only the simplest, most preliminary.
In contrast, I was thinking more about how I could do it without causing them to resist; How can I get out of the way after killing them, and not be suspicious of the police for a short time?
At this time, my first alien target, she was not the slightest wary of me.
Faced with this low-hanging fruit, I was amusefully shaken.
"Please... Drink. ā
Teacher Yao smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and his words and deeds were still full of a sense of disobedience and jerkiness.
I reached out and held the glass, but my fingers were shaking slightly.
Teacher Yao was still looking at me with a smile on his face.
Taking a deep breath, I finally made a decision - I held the glass of water in one hand and slowly raised the other hand, aiming the spray-type anesthetic in my hand at her face.
"It's... What the? Teacher Yao asked.
"It'sā" I didn't know how to answer, so I pulled on a stiff, far-fetched smile in the hope that it would ease her suspicions.
I feel that my smile at this time is very similar to the smile that Teacher Yao showed when she first occupied the human body, but there is a fundamental difference between the two - she is trying to learn how to express her kindness to others; And I am using the purest and most beautiful expression of human beings to deceive in the worst......
"Uhhh
The colorless and odorless anesthetic sprayed out of the sprayer, and the smile on Teacher Yao's face instantly froze, and there were doubts, puzzles, and novelties in her eyes, but she couldn't find a trace of resentment.
Perhaps, she has not had time to learn the darkness and hypocrisy of human communication.
Looking at Mr. Yao who had fallen in front of me, I lowered my arm and looked sideways at my backpack, which contained a button-shaped device that could easily kill someone.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang in the foyer.
"Ding Dong~"
My heart fluttered, and I hurriedly hid the anesthetic device behind me, as if I had encountered the owner's thief during a burglary.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong~"
Seeing that there was no response from inside the house, the doorbell rang more and more urgently.
I picked up the glass on the coffee table, took a large sip of lemonade, took it in my mouth, and swallowed it in small sips to relieve the intense tension in my heart.
I pressed my steps, and in the constant ringing of the doorbell, I came to the foyer, leaned on the security door, and looked out through the cat's eye.
I saw a small figure anxiously turning around outside the door, with worry written on his face.
It's Qi You.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Squeak."
I opened the door and motioned for her to come in immediately.
Qi You said to me as he entered the door: "Why don't you reply to text messages or calls, it makes me worry to death." ā
"I'm sorry..."
"What's wrong with you? The face is so ugly... What about Mr. Yao? With that, Qi You walked around me and looked behind me, "Ah! Teacher Yao! After Qi You found Teacher Yao who had fainted on the ground, he hurriedly ran forward, half-squatting beside Teacher Yao, looking anxious and worried, and said, "Uncle, come and help, Teacher Yao, she, she ......."
Qi You suddenly couldn't go on, I think she should have realized that the person lying in front of her at this moment was no longer the English teacher who was serious and responsible for teaching and considerate of students, but a human shell parasitized by an alien living entity.
"Teacher Yao, she..."
I met Qi You's sad gaze, nodded, and asked, "Can you feel the strangeness on her, just like the feeling recorded in the letter by 'future you'." ā
Qi You was stunned by my question, flattened his lips sadly and aggrievedly, then closed his eyes and tried to feel it. Eventually, she lowered her face and silently closed her jaw in response to my question.
I didn't mention to Qi You what Teacher Yao looked like after being parasitized, because I was afraid that she would not be able to accept it and even stop me from acting.
I took out the metal box with the button mechanism placed in the deepest part of the backpack, entered the code, and opened it.
Looking at the seven bright silver button killing devices neatly arranged in the box like works of art, I couldn't help but feel a chill behind me.
Humans seem to be more terrifying than alien beings trying to adapt to a new life.
I carefully took out a button mechanism, opened it according to the instructions, and then pressed it towards Mr. Yao's temple.
"Wait!" Qi You suddenly stopped me.
I looked up, but I didn't look at her, and asked, "What's the matter, if she wakes up in a while, things will be difficult." My tone was cold, because I was afraid that I would be influenced by Qi You, so I gave up this action.
Until this moment, my fingers were still stiff and a little disobedient, and my heart was also very conflicted.
"Let me see Teacher Yao again." Qi You whispered.
"......" I looked up, pursed the corners of my mouth, and turned my gaze to the side. It was really hard for me to hurt a creature who had never shown any ill will to me.
Qi You was silent for a while before he said to me, "Uncle...... You do it. ā
I nodded, attached the button device to Mr. Yao's temple, and turned it on again.
Silent in my heart ā
For a second...
Three seconds...
Seven seconds...
Ten seconds!
Qi You and I opened our eyes at the same time.
I saw that the button device located at Mr. Yao's temple suddenly lit up, and then, Mr. Yao's body twitched violently like an electric shock, and then disappeared......
A "person" who had been breathing a second ago disappeared before my eyes without warning, as if erased by an invisible hand, as if she had never existed, as if a piece of data in the computer had been put into the recycle bin and emptied, destroying all the evidence of her existence.
I stared at the place where Mr. Yao disappeared in a daze, carefully examining every place on the floor, but I couldn't find a trace at all.
"That's it...... Gone? Qi You turned his head to look at me, his eyes full of confusion.
I nodded, but then shook my head.
Teacher Yao has disappeared, which means that she has indeed become a different lifeform, and our first action can be said to be a complete success.
However, I was not happy at all, and I could not even raise the slightest sense of success, but a deep sense of guilt filled my heart.
"Let's go." I was silent for a long time, and said to Qi You while getting up.
Qi You stared at me for a few seconds, nodded, and silently followed my side.
"Uncle..."
"Huh?"
"Why are you crying?"
