Stray Chapter 13: Masato’s ally

One day, many spores appeared out of thin air on the earth. After the larvae were born, they invaded the body of humans or animals and targeted the parasitic brain. After the parasitism was completed, they assimilated with the brain cells to manage this "dead body" .

They can deform at will, stretch like a rubber or as hard as steel, and are incredibly powerful. Its food is the same species as the parasitic body, in other words, it is parasitic on a certain species and only eats a certain species.

——A parasitic beast that lives on dogs will feed on dogs, and a parasitic beast that lives on humans will feed on humans.

But one thing in common is that they must rely on the host's internal organs and digestive organs to survive, and they will die immediately as long as they leave the host.

Due to the emergence of parasites, brutal murders are frequently reported everywhere, but human beings indifferently ignore such cases, which are still in the minority. On the contrary, parasites gradually understand the human world and learn to plan and organize and use the power of politics , throwing the world into panic.

This is the main background of "Parasitic Beast". Xia Ran remembered that she had seen it before, not in her own real world, but in a certain dream time and space before.

However, because it's been a long time, he only remembers an outline, and he didn't finish it all at the time, so his impression of the main plot is not too deep. Parasitic, so the two "people" can only help each other to survive...

Speaking of which, which girlfriend is that? Left or right hand?

Forget it, this is not important at all, the important thing is to think about how to find the protagonist... Damn, even forgot his name for a while, Xia Ran only remembered that the protagonist seemed to be called "Xinyi".

As for the full name? Kudo Shinichi?

Well, it shouldn't be possible, the name is even more outrageous.

Xia Ran was in a daze at the news page opened on the computer. After thinking for a while, there was no result. He did not master the technology of human flesh search, nor had he worked in a specialized intelligence department, nor did he have the ability to quickly locate a person in the crowd.

Of course, the banknote ability may be easier to use. Although the initial capital prepared by the system is not much, if you don't consider living in this world for too long, then it is more than enough. If you have points, you can continue to exchange them from it. .

If you spend money based on some comprehensive information you have, you should be able to get results quickly.

Xia Ran has such confidence, he just can't remember what the full name of "Xinichi" is, but if he sees that name directly, he can still determine it immediately.

The reason why he is looking for the protagonist is because he thinks this is the safest way at present. The parasitic beasts on the other side are not completely parasitic, and they are still dominated by human concepts. According to the performance in the anime, their nature is kind and upright. .

——Of course, that's just the intelligence settings in the anime he's seen. Whether this is true in this real world is still not completely certain, and we need to observe it later.

Anyway, let's analyze the information Xia Ran has. This should be the best teammate. If he wants to hunt parasitic beasts, it is best to team up with such a person. It is impossible to rely on himself. The "Useless Start" of the five scumbags went directly to the front of those monsters.

Another important reason is that parasitic beasts can deform at will, and carry out near-perfect camouflage through the parasitic host.

This means that it is impossible for Xia Ran to distinguish which dog or which person is outside. In essence, it is a parasitic beast. How can you talk about hunting if you can't even figure this out? When the other party erupted and attacked, the person who died was himself.

Therefore, he currently has only two ways. The first is to find the protagonist named Shinichi or the girl who also forgot his name, and use their special sensing ability to lock the position of the parasitic beast.

Second, naturally, he had the best chance to copy the protagonist's golden finger. If he only paid the price of one right hand, he would be able to acquire powerful abilities, and by the way, he would be able to master the radar of finding enemies... Xia Ran could not refuse this possibility.

As for rejection psychology or something, let's wait until you have enough strength to pick and choose, and you don't have to rack your brains to survive.

After all, this world is too dangerous, and a large number of parasitic beasts are hidden in human society. If a scumbag like him has no ability to protect himself at all, he does not even know how to distinguish parasitic beasts. If it is, I can't tell when it will be eaten as food.

So, he must be able to distinguish between enemy and me.

However, although the protagonist's situation is not to say how difficult it is to replicate, it still carries a huge risk.

Therefore, he still pinned his hopes on the protagonist of the plot, for the sake of safety.

……

……

The time is the next morning, exactly nine o'clock in the morning.

Xia Ran, who has changed into a dress, is standing in front of a school. But this is not the school he was assigned to, but another school that he randomly found.

Because he didn't burn his eyebrows at the beginning, he spent a day yesterday to make a rough plan for himself, combing all the information as much as possible, and sharpening the knife without accidentally chopping wood.

At this time of the day, after searching his school for unfamiliar names, he simply asked for leave and skipped classes and came to this school, ready to start.

Because time is not too short, it should not be wasted. Although the nature of the task is only to guide the way, not a mandatory requirement, if he is really determined to be a tortoise, he can also use the "hunting and killing parasitic beast" Dangerous targets left behind—

Then pretend to know nothing, hide at home or maintain life in this world normally and carefully, until the end of the stay time, wake up from reality.

But escaping is not the solution, especially if the system shows "the estimated stay time is up to one year". The longer the delay, the higher the risk... Besides, if he escapes this time, can he escape the next time? Can you continue to escape next time?

This is obviously impossible. Xia Ran has not forgotten the experience of being thrown directly into the battlefield, and being bombarded to scum by a falling bomb without knowing anything... Who can guarantee that Won't that happen again after that?

He is now wearing blue overalls and a cap that slightly conceals his face. With his height and a little make-up, and his calm and calm demeanor, no one will notice that he is still a seventeen-year-old. of minors.

Only feel that he is already a young man who came out to work, just younger, but there is nothing wrong with him.

If that wasn't enough, he also brought a cheating device in his life——

It's a folding work ladder, albeit a little heavy.

So the result seems to be a matter of course, no one tried to stop him along the way, and no one interrogated him, Xia Ran simply entered the school that was still in class and went straight ahead. building to go.

He strode forward without showing any signs of timidity, and those who saw him along the way didn't think anything was wrong.

It is said that as long as you carry a ladder wherever you go, you will be considered a staff member and can enter almost any place. You can also evade fares in an open and honest way when you go to the cinema...

Of course, if you insist on entering the women's toilet, you will definitely be seen through, and it cannot be ruled out that some people just like to be more serious. But at least for now, Xia Ran's little trick that has no technical content and is purely using people's habitual thinking has succeeded.

Then, taking advantage of the chance that there was no one in a certain science classroom during the class, he packed all the strong acid in it and took it away. He originally planned to go to the hospital, but after thinking about it, he felt that the hospital was always full of people, and it was not easy to start.

As for the school, it's okay to say that as long as you carefully compare the class schedule, you can always find opportunities. Instead of starting with the school you were assigned to, it was to avoid trouble, and the makeup was not for women. What if someone recognized her?

The amount of strong acid is not too much, and it is not a hassle to take it out, because the system directly opens the function of private space for him, or should it be called the inventory? Although there are only five grids, each grid is not divided according to the specific volume.

It is more like the conceptual storage function in the game. Each grid is not divided into the size and shape of the stored items. As long as it can be put in, it occupies one grid, and other types of things cannot be put in it. .

It seems that items of the same standard can also be stacked into a group, but there seems to be an upper limit on the number.

Using this subtle inventory function, Xia Ran easily completed the search, and left the school with her loot in a relaxed suit. There was no **** situation on the way, and there was no shock or danger.

According to Xia Ran's incomplete impression, strong acid seems to have enough lethality to parasitic beasts, and under the current circumstances, this is the best weapon he can get.

As for modern mainstream weapons such as firearms, one is that he can't use them, maybe he can't even open the insurance, and the other is that he can't get them...

It is true that direct exchange is possible in the system, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. He has no points at all, so what can he exchange for it? Therefore, it is only possible to settle for the next best thing, which is also helpless.

Along the way, Xia Ran walked on the streets with people coming and going, and would never walk into any remote areas.

Whether it's hiding at home or anywhere else, it's not as safe as this.

Because the parasitic beasts are only sneaking to prey on humans, it is almost impossible for them to attack and commit crimes on the streets in full view of the public. Otherwise, they will not be able to keep the truth hidden for such a long time. .

So the first thing Xia Ran listed for herself was "Never go to a secluded and uninhabited area".

If there are no people on a road, he would rather go around a few more laps. Anyway, he had already designed a few different routes against the city map yesterday... Next, he needs to do his best for the "justice" he wants to adopt. Play" to collect materials.
