Although he was beaten by the doctor, he also learned the result he wanted from her, and Rentaro had roughly sorted out the conclusion. The source of the infection that has not yet been discovered has been given an original strange ability, so it must be a mimic disguise. Regardless, this doctor is still remarkable.

"Then I'll take my leave, doctor."

Rentaro, who walked to the door, suddenly stopped for some reason, he looked back left and right, and asked, "By the way, doctor, why didn't you see 'him' today?" ”

The "he" in Rentaro's mouth is not a living person. From the first time he meets the doctor Sumire, he discovers that Sumire often does all kinds of strange things to a beautiful "corpse" that does not look like a human thing.

For example, intimate face rubbing, or kissing and other things that only lovers do

Rentaro has always believed that the reason why Sumire likes corpses so much must be because of "him"!

Rentaro, who had asked many times who the corpse was, only learned from the doctor Sumire that the corpse had been accidentally discovered by her ten years ago, the year of the outbreak of the protozoan virus. At present, Sumire has a random name, and his identity is Sumire's boyfriend

But it would be wrong to say that "he" is a corpse, because "he" does not have the characteristics of a normal corpse. Not only did it sit there for a whole decade without a trace of odor, nor did it show any signs of decay.

Although Rentaro initially thought that the reason why there was no odor was because Sumire was well maintained, he later learned that this was already ineffective even if any known antiseptic measures were ineffective. It is not so much a corpse as a sleeping "sleeping beauty", waiting for the destined prince to come and wake him up with a "kiss".

What's more, after Sumire got this "corpse" out of curiosity, she didn't add any preservatives!

That "corpse" has been accompanying the doctor Sumire in this dark basement for ten years, and even Rentaro unknowingly thinks that this "corpse" is Sumire's boyfriend, and I'm afraid that only this "corpse" can stand Sumire's extremely eccentric personality.

In the past, Rentaro even thought about it many times. Will this corpse suddenly wake up one day As I get older, the days go by, and Rentaro has already extinguished this unrealistic fantasy, just as the other party is a "corpse" that does not decay and is a little strange.

The reason why the title of "him" is "he" instead of "it" is not only because of Sumire's feelings, but also because of habits.

"Oh, you mean Charlie?"

"Did you change the name of 'him' again?!!

"Hmm~ The name I gave before sounded too much like a pet, so I think 'Charlie' is more appropriate."

"Really?"

Never mind. Rentaro is used to Sumire changing the name of "Charlie" twice in three days, she likes to call it whatever she wants, and the other party won't pay attention to it anyway.

As for the whereabouts of "Charlie", Rentaro is not in the mood to ask, besides, he was just because he didn't see it this time, and he thought it was a little strange, so he just made a move to ask, and he didn't really want to know where "Charlie" was placed by Sumire.

"I'm leaving. Doctor. ”

"Welcome back next time."

Seeing Rentaro leave, the doctor Sumire smiled and waved his hand gently.

"Ahh Rentaro moves so slowly! ”

Before returning to the lovely dilapidated apartment, the window of the bathroom on the second floor suddenly opened, and a young girl poked out of the window at the same time as the water vapor. Seeing her smile on her face and waving to greet herself. It does make Rentaro happy, but no matter how you look at it, she is taking a shower, and she can't run out to meet people naked.

"Hey, stupid. What to do if you are seen by others! Close the windows! ”

"Don't worry. People's bodies belong only to you! ”

"Please understand me! I've been disgraced by you! ”

Rentaro rushed up the stairs of the apartment and inserted the key into the room in the corner of the second floor. He ran into his house the size of four pings and came to the stripping room. The sound of the water in the shower head and the slender curve silhouette of the girl are right in front of you. Although her figure is not very developed, her slender and delicate body still looks very beautiful.

Rentaro's heart pounded instantly, but when he found that there was a note on the bathroom door with the words "Welcome to peep" written in ugly handwriting, he immediately felt weak and sat down on the ground.

This very mature looking girl is named Ranhara Yeonzhu, ten years old, who claims to be a great lady and the partner "Initiator" of Rentaro, who is a police officer.

In contrast, civilian police are often referred to as "facilitators".

Ten years ago, the gastroid animals that appeared all over the world at the same time used their super-infectious properties to expel humans at an alarming rate.

The number of proto-intestinal animals that have increased by the number of progressions, such as one-two, two-four, and four-eight, has finally made humans anxious, but it is too late.

In the countries that have been victimized by large-scale wars, they can only sit in the city of sorrow after ten years by making enchantments with huge stone tablets that have barely reached the stage of practicality.

Humanity was defeated in the world war against antigenic enterozoans.

In the intervening decade, Japan healed the wounds of its defeat and finally restored its civilization to the level it had reached in the first half of the 2020s.

Holmium is extremely hated by gastrulations. Thanks to the special magnetic field emitted by the holmium that forms a natural barrier, the Tokyo area is protected from a massive attack by protozoa.

On the contrary, all of Japan's five regions, including Tokyo, are infested with inhuman monsters, as well as inhuman monsters that were once humans. Weak humans who take a step out of the megalithic monument will be devoured or become their kind.

Moreover, this situation is not limited to Japan.

Start factor (starter) vs. acceleration factor (facilitator).

Combatants in teams of two.

They fight the arachtoid in their own right – and humanity's last hope.

Gastrates are very scary, and when ordinary organisms are infected with viruses and become gastroids, the hardened skin hardness and body functions will increase depending on the size of the body. Therefore, the larger the protozoa, the harder the epidermis and the stronger it becomes.

Protozoan viruses, which can redesign living organisms, are simply a threat to humans. The principle is similar to the reverse transcription behavior of retroviruses, but the protozoan virus not only copies itself, but also analyzes the genetic characteristics of the host and modifies it into the most suitable shape. Another issue is the speed of the virus. The rate at which the Aragutovirus rewrites the erosion of DNA is quite foul compared to any living thing on Earth.

When the erosion rate exceeds 50%, the host is unable to maintain its original appearance. After the image disintegrates, it transforms into an aragonolia. There are also individuals who are born in the process of creating original abilities that would not otherwise be possible.

Gastroids are so scary, how can we deal with them?

This brings us to the so-called "initiators" and "facilitators".

Ten years ago, almost at the same time that the world first appeared with the protozoa, babies with protogastal virus inhibitors were born as if they were going to fight against them. At first, they were seen as God-given children of human beings to antigenic gut animals, but the results were very different.

The only way for ordinary humans to be infected with the original intestinal virus and deformity is through bloodstream infection. Through the air, that is, air infection, this kind of thing doesn't happen. In fact, even if it enters through the mouth or through sexual intercourse, it is not infected, which has been proven many times.

However, although the virus that enters the mouth does not infect people, the virus itself does not die immediately if it happens to enter the mouth of a pregnant woman. Fetuses are sometimes born with a build-up of toxicity in the body.

The children born by ingesting the original intestinal virus during pregnancy and accumulating in the fetus, so that they have a certain ability of the original intestines, so that the cursed children are hated and persecuted by most people, and they are "cursed children".

Originally, the sex of the fetus could not be chosen, but due to some influence of the protozoan virus, all known children affected by the protozoan virus were girls. Since the Aragutar Wars began to appear, so now the cursed children are all under 10 years old. Their eyes turn red when they use their abilities, and when they liberate their abilities or are injected with fluids, the rate of gastronic virus erosion will gradually increase, and when the rate of intestinal virus erosion in the body exceeds 50%, they will become gastrulation.

Because of being ostracized. Most live in the peripheral area.

Although the "cursed children" are hated and feared by the vast majority of humans, they are also a powerful force for antigenic intestinal organisms.

Thus, a civilian security company appeared.

The initiator is one of the duo partners on the mission of the Civil Security Agency, and is himself a carrier of the original intestinal virus. That is, the "cursed child", because it can exert the power of the original intestinal virus, and it has the ability to repair the original intestinal body, so it is the main combat force in the duo.

Facilitators act as starters' sidekicks to assist in combat. Give the starter core support. They are also the guardians of the partner initiators, most of them are ordinary humans, but of course there are a few modified people. Although the combat ability may not be as good as that of the starter, they are basically good at fighting.

It's just that the promoters are complex, and the militant elements or criminals are the majority. Basically, it is the party responsible for giving orders, and has the invisible responsibility of acting as the spiritual pillar of the initiator.

Some people use the starter as a prop, while others treat it as a family member.

Just as Yanzhu was taking a bath, Rentaro was already ready for dinner.

After eating dinner with her, Rentaro noticed a small cardboard box next to Yanzhu.

"What's that next to Yanzhu?"

"This is the new laptop! Just delivered. ”

"How much?"

"Because I found a cheap pipeline, I can buy the latest model for only 180,000 yuan."

"10, 180,000"

Rentaro suddenly became dizzy and had to support his body with both hands.

Yeonju is also an employee of the Tiantong Civil Security Company, so he can get a salary that is too much for the children's pocket money from Kiga, who is the president of the company. She ignores the thrifty Rentaro and keeps buying high-priced goods on her own, which is the culprit of Rentaro's stomach pain.

Seeing Rentaro's red expression, Yeon-joo seemed to understand something, and a grin that didn't look like a child would have: "If you want money, people can borrow it at any time." ”

"You, you demon, it's not because of you that I'm not"

They had been so poor that they were almost kicked out of the apartment, and Rentaro wept bitterly to borrow money from Yeonjoo before paying off the rent arrears. Unexpectedly, the next day, Yanzhu happily added fuel to the fire and publicized it everywhere, so Rentaro had the baseless nickname of "Lolicon who eats soft rice for a ten-year-old girl" (all the apartment residents have heard about it). Since then, even if Rentaro fights hard, he only relies on his own salary to get by.

After taking the used cutlery to the kitchen and looking at the clock by the way, Rentaro remembered something. He took out a needle-free pressure syringe from the dresser drawer and flicked it with his fingernails:

"Yanzhu, it's time for injection."

"Well, it's been this time?"

Rentaro urged her to stretch out her arms. Yanzhu, who hated injections, was reluctant to stretch out her hand, and her eyes were closed stiffly. Rentaro pressed down the piston of the syringe with a wry smile.

The slender body shuddered. The transparent blue potion entered the thin, soft arm like a twig.

Initiators are obligated to take an erosion inhibitor once a day. If you are lazy and don't fight, the erosion rate in the body as a percentage will increase, and you will eventually become an archazoa.

Their birth is special. Most mothers fall into a semi-crazy state when they see that they give birth to a red-eyed child with gastrulation factors.

There was a time when pregnant women would give birth by the river and then throw their babies into the river and drown on the spot. When I go to play by the river, I often see the corpse of a baby floating upstream. Rentaro had seen it once before, and when he was a child at the time, he felt an indescribable feeling of emptiness.

Lotus Taro unconsciously stared at Yeonzhu's face as he closed his eyes and endured the pain of the injection.

Yeonzhu who often laughs, gets angry, and cries.

In order for her to be able to express her feelings, it took Rentaro a whole year.

Thinking back to the first time I met her a year ago, I felt a tingling in my heart.

When the International Initiator Oversight Organization (IISO) introduced Yeonjoo to him, Rentaro was startled by his eyes full of hatred and distrust of humans. Rentaro has never seen a girl who stubbornly rejects others so stubbornly.

Yeon-joo, who is smiling now, makes people feel a little bit big, but at least including this, Rentaro still likes her very much. Of course, it means a sister who seems to be a little bit of an age gap - no, to put it mildly, like her own daughter.

"Yanzhu, I've finished injecting."

She slowly opened her moist eyes, her rosy lips slowly opening as if they were spasms. Rentaro felt inexplicable guilt and quickly lowered his head.

"What's wrong with Rentaro?"

"No, it's okay—"

Although it can never be said, Yanzhu has become more and more beautiful recently. If Mu is a gloomy type of beauty, Yanzhu is just the opposite of her.

However, Rentaro still prefers more wood. (To be continued......)
