Stray Chapter 22: 20 mental attributes!

Xia Ran did not relax her vigilance, but continued to maintain it for several minutes. It wasn't until he felt that his left arm was numb due to the lack of blood circulation, and then he opened his personal information page and took a look.

After confirming the basic fact that it was a foregone conclusion, he slowly loosened the rope that bound his arm.

——"Parasitic Beast Enhancement lv1 (Partial Parasitic)"

There has been a noticeable change in the personal page with the addition of such an item.

And what is very strange is that he found out after habitually flipping the page that this item appeared on the skill page and the equipment page at the same time, not an item listed separately.

The display on the skill page is the one above, while the display on the equipment page is—

"Parasite (Equipped)"...

So, this is considered a kind of ability, and it is also treated as special equipment? As Xia Ran thought about it, she tried to move the left hand of the freshman, and it felt completely different...

But not the power-packed, as if a single punch could blow through a wall, but a more subtle, indescribable contrast.

There is no more swelling and pain. It seems that all the previous injuries have been healed, but there is no sense of strength. Instead, there is an obvious numbness. He thought at first that it was because of his actions that the blood flow was blocked.

However, it was soon discovered that the numbness was not the numbness caused by the lack of blood circulation, but was indescribable.

He tried waving his left arm vigorously, trying to move it, and after a few tests, he could be sure that his left hand's speed response had not been weakened or decreased, and was still at the solid 12 points of agility before.

It's just not sensitive enough to feel, and seems to be weakened a lot.

It is obvious that a single thought can move the left hand and make all kinds of actions that one wants to do, but the signals of touch, feeling, etc., are always transmitted to the brain a beat later, as if it is a The look of a fake hand.

——But strictly speaking, it is indeed a prosthetic hand now.

“…”

“…”

I stared at her left hand for a long time, and didn't notice any movement, let alone deformation or stretching. Xia Ran then remembered that it may be that parasitic beasts need to sleep for a while first.

It's not too long. It seems that Izumi Shinichi was parasitized in the early morning of the first day, and in the evening of the second day, his right hand woke up for the first time and played the first symbiotic journey with him. call.

——But this is fine, after all, I also need some time to adapt and make some preparations...

I can't tell what kind of emotion she is in at the moment, Xia Ran can only try to calm down and force herself to seriously think about what to do next, although it is already ten o'clock in the evening.

But he can't sleep yet, and he probably has to stay up late for a rare time... But now that his physical attributes and mental attributes have been pulled back to the level of normal people, it's not a big problem.

……

……

The next morning.

Quan Xinyi was eating breakfast with some sleepy eyes, and yawned or something. Today is the weekend, so he doesn't have to go to school, and his parents have gone on a trip. No one cares how long he sleeps.

But he really couldn't sleep, so he got up early. He was not used to the empty house, and he always panicked for no reason. Sometimes, the more I think about it, the more I am afraid, for fear that something terrible will happen to my parents outside.

Although Ah You told him that in terms of probability, the probability of encountering parasitic beasts in cities is much higher than that in remote villages, and parasitic beasts will consciously choose the prey alone and carefully prevent accidents from happening.

If two or more people travel together, there is basically only a small chance of being attacked.

But it's only in theory. Everyone knows how small the probability of being hit by a car is when they go out. However, if parents and relatives go out and leave home and don't come back, most people can't help but think about it, inexplicable. Are you worried?

What's more, he knew about the parasitic beast, but he couldn't easily say it, and even suspected that he was the only person in the world who knew the truth.

Therefore, probability theory has no way to convince Izumi Shinichi that it is good enough that he does not suffer from persecution paranoia in this situation. Ordinary people are afraid that he is really crazy, maybe even himself Parents and relatives will suspect that it is a monster in human skin.

Izumi Shinichi relies on the homologous sensing of his right hand to at least distinguish the wavelengths of humans and parasitic beasts.

However, once his parents left the house and were out of his reach, he couldn't help but start to fall into a state of doubt, anxiety, and anxiety.

It's still the same sentence, probability theory can't convince Quan Xinyi, he always feels that there are parasitic beasts everywhere, and it is really a very dangerous thing for his parents to run around all over the street...

But now there is no other way. He doesn't know where the parents have gone, so he can only wait for the information in fear, and secretly make up his mind that the next time they can't say anything, they can't let them go out.

It is best not to let parents go out for long periods of time until the parasitic beast problem is resolved by the government.

Jingle Bell-

Quan Xin, who was thinking about when the disaster of the parasitic beasts would be resolved and whether the country had taken action, was stunned for a moment, and quickly picked up the mobile phone next to him, feeling that his heavy mood was relieved for a moment.

The couple finally remembered his son, and knew that they would make a phone call to report safety.

"Hello!"

Quan Xinyi pressed the answer button, exhaled a long breath, and wondered how to tactfully urge the two to come back.

However, as the voice on the other side of the phone rang, his expression changed rapidly, becoming frozen and shocked, and his pupils instantly shrank to the point of a needle, and he almost lost his ability to think.

He didn't wake up until a busy tone came from the other side of the phone.

……

……

Time: Nine o'clock in the evening.

Location: Still the B&B.

In a room on the second floor with a good view, Xia Ran was sitting at the low table in the center of the room, talking to someone.

"Hello?...Well, I see...you don't come here. In case your son is really parasitized, trust me, you will never want to see that scene..."

He held the phone to his ear in his left hand and kept talking while his right hand was writing and drawing on a small notebook on the table.

But what's chilling is that although his hands are still operating normally, his left hand is a little lower from the elbow joint... "split" to form another arm.

And like someone who ate a rubber fruit, the split arm was obviously stretched a lot longer, as if there were no bones. It was pressing another mobile phone that Xia Ran had prepared before, and it seemed to be browsing a web page or something.

Hang up the phone, Xia Ran glanced at her alienated left hand, the corners of her eyes still twitched a few times. Fortunately, at least on that arm, there were no more cracks in the skin, and a few eyeballs grew out of it.

Because Xia Ran believes that since the parasitic beast can be deformed at will, it is basically a cell-level manipulation, so it should not be restricted to the expression of human body structure.

After all, they can even stretch like rubber, and they can quickly change into bone sharp blades like steel... They are completely beyond common sense creatures, so why do they have to simulate human eyeballs to be able to see What about things?

It's okay to say yes, but not absolutely necessary.

This is not Xia Ran's own assumption, because Quan Xinyi's right hand has shown such properties——

During the class, Izumi Shinichi, who was parasitized on the first day, was sleeping, and his right hand was operating the mobile phone under the desk to learn knowledge, and it was not deformed. .

This made Xia Ran feel at least not so curious, and although it was difficult to adapt to or even psychologically rejected, the indescribable sense of security she felt because she had mastered the power was truly overwhelming. of.

It's fine no matter what, it's undeniable that starting in the evening, after seeing the "left hand" wake up and behave as expected, his whole person relaxed from the bottom of his heart, no longer like before. It seems to be calm and calm, but in fact, the state of anxiety is endless.

Stable as an old dog on the surface, but actually panicked, this is how he really felt before. Every time I confront a parasitic beast, it is like this, for fear that an accident will happen, and my head will be cut off by the opponent like lightning.

But now, he really let his tense nerves relax, and he could finally take a breath.

If it continues like this, he doubts that he will not be planted in the hands of the parasitic beast, and he will first collapse because his nerves are too tense and the pressure is too great... In the end, although he has experienced a special Different from ordinary people, but really not a thorough "fighter".

Xia Ran's left hand has just woken up now, and she can't even speak completely. It will take some time to learn.

But it is estimated that it will be very soon, about two days... Because the parasitic beasts seem to have knowledge of language and characters based on the host's own knowledge reserve, and they can quickly and proficiently use this knowledge within a few days. .

And then, using this as a foundation, show an extremely powerful learning ability...

Considering their own ability values ​​such as attack and defense speed, Xia Ran no longer wants to think about their intelligence attributes at the same time as their power sensitivity is terribly high...

Fortunately, of course, their spiritual side seems to be a weakness.

Thinking about this, he subconsciously opened the personal information page and looked at the basic attribute values ​​that had changed again——

"Strength: 4"

"Agility: 12"

"Physical: 6"

"Intelligence: 7"

"Spirit: 20"

"Perception: 7"
