Chapter 19: Mt. Takao

As soon as the sky cleared, Xia Shang went through the discharge procedures and was discharged from the hospital smoothly.

The first thing he did after he was discharged from the hospital was to call Ryoko Tamiya, then rushed to the coffee shop and took the remaining materials in her possession, with which he estimated that his integration progress could reach 90%.

"Are you trying to fuse the parasitic beasts? What were the results? Xia Shang flipped through the information and saw some clues from it.

"Don't try to find out what you shouldn't know, or I can't guarantee that I won't kill you with my own hands."

Ryoko Tamiya's eyes were fixed on Xia Shang, and her expression was extremely indifferent.

"OK, when the time comes, I think I'll see it with my own eyes."

Xia Shang was about to leave with the materials, and Ryoko Tamiya continued: "After a month, the school will resume normal teaching. ”

"Got it."

Over the next month, Natsusho haunts famous restaurants all over Tokyo.

I don't know if it's because the impact of the incident caused by parasitic beast A is too bad, anyway, the number of corpse shredding and murder cases like the one before can be said to have plummeted.

However, according to Xia Shang's guess, they should not have stopped killing, but preferred to remote corners where people are rare when they do it.

"Shinichi, I'm here." In the maid café, Xia Shang sat by the window and waved to Shinichi.

"Why did you ask me to come to a place like this?"

Izumi Shinichi looked around curiously, it was his first time at the maid café.

"I heard that the coffee here is very good, so I came here to try it, don't worry, I won't tell Satomi Murano." Immediately afterwards, Xia Shang asked the maids beside him to leave, after all, there was no need for outsiders to know about the conversation between them.

"Recently at school, you didn't have a conflict with Ryoko Tamiya."

Xia Shang asked after taking a sip of coffee.

Izumi Shinichi sat across from him and couldn't help frowning: "Just yesterday, I wanted to do something with her, but she left, and she said something. ”

"She thinks that all creatures on Earth obey some kind of command, for example, flies are born to flap their wings, spiders are born to build webs, and when she occupies the human brain, she also receives an order, that is, to eat and wipe the human race!"

Quan Shinichi leaned back in his chair and stared at Xia Shang tightly, "Could it be that you also received that order." ”

Looking at Shinichi's nervous appearance, Xia Shang picked up his coffee and shook his head: "I don't know anything about the so-called command, and the command in her mouth is more like instinct, that is, killing or eating humans is the instinct that parasitic beasts are born with." ”

"Instinctive?" Shinichi fell into deep thought.

"So, it's like a lion hunting an antelope, and a parasitic beast hunting a human."

"So far, it seems." Xia Shang nodded in agreement with Shinichi's statement.

But Shinichi still can't figure it out, if that's the case, then the parasitic beast should have appeared at the beginning of the birth of humans, instead of suddenly breaking into human society like now.

"Why do they pop up?"

"I don't know, maybe I'll know in the future."

Xia Shang didn't want to continue to discuss this issue with Shinichi, because it was meaningless, the appearance of parasitic beasts was more like the result of the manipulation of the earth's consciousness, and there were intractable problems between them and humans, could it be that because of their appearance, humans would not destroy the environment? This is clearly unrealistic.

"By the way, are your parents still at home?"

Xia Shang's question made Shinichi a little confused: "May I ask if you have something to do with them?" ”

Xia Shang vaguely remembered that in the original book, Shinichi's parents were attacked by parasitic beasts when they were traveling, and his mother was killed by parasitic beasts, and the parasitic beasts that killed his mother even parasitized his mother.

"I just wanted to visit you at home."

"They went on a trip yesterday and won't be back for a while."

"So fast!" Xia Shang subconsciously exclaimed.

"What?" Shinichi always felt that today's Xia Shang was a little strange.

Xia Shang suddenly felt a headache, he didn't expect that he was actually a step late, maybe Shinichi's mother had already been killed, "You don't know the situation of the parasitic beasts, why don't you stop them?" What's more, now is not a good time to travel at all, knowing that parasitic beasts love to attack humans in inaccessible places. ”

Being said by Xia Shang rekindled the worry in Quan Xinyi's heart.

The reason why he didn't dissuade his parents was because he couldn't find a reasonable reason, and he was afraid that if he said Mickey's existence, Mickey would kill his parents, after all, Mickey was still an emotionless existence like Ryoko Tamiya and Mr. A's parasitic beasts.

"There shouldn't be an accident, there have been almost no cases of parasitic beasts killing people recently."

Izumi Shinichi could only convince himself like this.

"Where did your parents go?" Xia Shang thought about it to see if he could save it.

"When they left, they didn't tell me."

Izumi shook his head.

Xia Shang put down the coffee in his hand and sneered: "You actually dare to bet on the possibility of your parents being attacked, in case your parents are killed, can you bear the consequences?" Or do you not care? ”

Facing Xia Shang's curse-like speech, Izumi Shinichi stood up angrily, and at the same time, knocked over the coffee on the table, and in an instant, the hot coffee soaked his clothes, and the sudden movement attracted everyone's attention.

However, as the uneasiness in his heart gradually intensified, Izumi Shinichi looked down at his right hand.

"You're right, travel is clearly not a good option until the parasitic beast is solved." was poured with coffee, but it made Izumi Shinichi sober up a lot, "There are some things that should be faced, and there is always no escape." ”

Shinichi opened his phone's address book, flipped through his mother's name, and then clicked on Call.

Doodle!!!

Finally, after more than ten seconds, the call was connected.

Listening to his mother's familiar voice in his ears, Izumi Shinichi's tone trembled excitedly.

"Where are they now?" Xia Shang on the side reminded.

"Tell me where you are!"

Izumi Shinichi asked anxiously.

"I don't have time to explain so much, and when you come back, I'll tell you everything."

Soon, Shinichi got their location, "They're on Mt. Takao, and it's only an hour from here. ”

Hanging up the phone, Izumi Shinichi couldn't wait to go.

"Shinichi, no human being should know of my existence." Mickey drilled out of Shinichi's palm.

"Shut up! Believe it or not, I'm just going to cut you off. ”

Shinichi picked up the knife on the ground that he was using to cut food and held it against his right arm.

Mitch could sense that Shinichi was serious this time.

"Are parents really that important? Humans are strange creatures. ”

"How can parasitic beasts understand human emotions, you are a bunch of emotionless creatures!" Izumi Shinichi didn't even change his coffee-soaked clothes when he stood on the side of the road and stopped a taxi.

"Trouble going to Mt. Takao, thank you."
