Stray Chapter 26: The third person is about to join the team
Anything like this guy came over?
Utian Shou suddenly subconsciously trembled, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
But this situation didn't last long. He settled down almost immediately. He glanced at someone next to him and felt somewhat confident... After all, this time he didn't want to be alone. A monster like a parasitic beast.
Although the new companion beside him looks very young, even immature, the other side also admitted that he is only seventeen years old and is still in the second year of high school——
Xia Ran doesn't actually think that she is only seventeen years old, but it is also a fact that the psychological age does not match the physical age.
After Kudo Shinichi became a child, he could only honestly play the role of Conan, a primary school student, instead of proclaiming that his body was a primary school student and his mind was a high school student's secret. Naturally, Xia Ran would not do it. That unnecessary stupidity.
After all, you must know that human beings are visual animals, and they only tend to believe their own eyes. Once the appearance they see does not match their imagination, they will sincerely doubt and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
So he didn't have to force it to prove anything, it was purely superfluous.
Even the identity White Space assigned him was a real "high school sophomore"... Therefore, there is absolutely no need to confront him, and he really doesn't have to make a fuss about it.
However, in the eyes of Utian Mamoru, it is really shocking. I feel that it is fortunate that this guy aimed at the parasitic beast, otherwise...
How to say it? Really young, there is an amazing potential to become a serial killer, can be called a promising future?
Uda Mori didn't really believe what the other party said, because he knew very well that even if he had a "plug-in" like a partially parasitic parasitic beast in his hand, he would often only be able to fully form the body with another parasitic beast. Only five.
It must also be that his own state is very stable, and the output of the parasitic beast will not be dragged down due to lack of physical strength.
After all, it is either an all-out attack or a perfect defense. Anyway, if the two parasitic beasts meet, there is often no one who can do anything about the other. They can only fight for stamina to see who's energy bar is exhausted first...
So, how can a high school student on the other side hunt and kill several monsters like that with his own abilities before he gains the power of parasitic beasts?
Utian Shou's first reaction was not to believe it, but the other party casually mentioned his experiences twice, but they were all prudent.
For example, how to distinguish the enemy, how to lure the prey, how to use the means of justice to backstab... If it is made up, it is impossible to even cover all the details, right?
In addition, the other party has already opened up, even without those righteous backstabs, the front seems to be able to have the capital to hunt parasitic beasts. Naturally, Utian Shou naturally no longer doubts whether the other party's ability as a companion is sufficient. question.
In fact, in the brief moments of the previous engagement, he felt the real threat of death, especially when the opponent held up the grenade launcher at him.
If Xia Ran's left hand had not noticed the problem in advance and chose to stop the fight, the current Utian Mamoru might have turned into a charred corpse-although it was a pre-arranged scene.
So from this situation, the other parasitic beasts are really only hunted and killed in front of Xia Ran.
As long as the parasitic beast is in charge of attacking or defending, it can be in a stalemate with the opponent, and during this period, the parasitic beast of the complete body cannot move or do anything else. And Xia Ran didn't need to think about those things that were not there at all, just raised the weapon, aimed at the live target in front of him and pulled the trigger lightly.
——You can easily get the head count +1...
"Is another one here? If so, let's go meet this one now..."
Xia Ran pondered for a while, and felt that only Quan Xinyi would come here at this time, and the couple also notified themselves, the only professional they knew not long ago, and made it very solemnly. delegate.
Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not Quan Xinyi. If it's another parasitic beast, then there's no problem in killing it. Anyway, it's a business that can make a profit without losing money. Even if Xia Ran is alone, he dares to go hunting directly, not to mention that he has a helper.
What is the source of confidence?
That is to have a clear grasp of the situation, to confirm that one's ability is sufficient to deal with the crisis, so there will be no fear, no fear, no longer feel that there is something that can easily threaten oneself, and self-confidence will naturally emerge .
Xia Ran is like this now. Although all the power is reflected in his left hand, it seems to be somewhat extreme, but it is also the world's top individual combat power, and it is no worse than any complete parasitic beast.
Let's not say anything else, at least he definitely has the power to protect himself. Since he doesn't have to walk on thin ice like before, he will naturally change his previous ideas...
He carried the piano case, then turned and left: "Come with me first, we need to change to a more suitable place... It's still not very safe here, there may still be people coming over, we'd better not stay there. here."
"Huh? Oh..."
Utian Shou was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds to react, so he hurriedly followed, but his footsteps felt a little weak.
He thought it was a brave thing to wait for the parasitic beast to come to the door, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually look for it directly?
Would you like to be so irritable... This guy is really the real brother, and he can't be based on age alone.
……
……
With the movement of Xia Ran and others, the wavelength of another similar type sensed by their parasitic beast is also moving, constantly changing direction, and seems to be approaching.
But the speed is not particularly fast. After all, unless the other party uses flying to hurry, otherwise, it is definitely impossible to directly take the straight-line distance between two points. In addition, the newcomer is not familiar with the terrain at all. Go some more wrong ways.
And taking advantage of this relatively free time, Xia Ran did not speed up again, but quickly told Yutian Shou the cause and effect of the whole thing.
"So the couple's son was completely parasitized?"
Uda Mamoru looked shocked, but also quickly became sad because of his empathy. He is a person with strong empathy ability.
"It's... unfortunate, they only have one son..."
"This... I'm not sure yet. I think the probability of complete parasitism is the smallest." Xia Ran shook her head and said in a very calm tone. "That person came here in such a hurry, he should still care about his parents very much."
"So...Xia Ransang, what do you mean?" Yutian Shou was slightly taken aback.
"Mortal wisdom, I mean, there's a good chance that person is actually in the same situation as us, and that's why his parents feel like he's a different person, hiding something... …”
Xia Ran said in a tone that he was only speculating, but very confident.
"Because he probably lives with his parents, he needs to cover up the alienation of the parasitized parts. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why a fully parasitic monster would keep the host's relatives by his side for so long , at the risk of being seen through..."
Although I can't play the role of a prophet from the perspective of God, I can still do it with a quick-thinking detective temperament.
It doesn't require how careful the logic is. Anyway, the process of inverse deduction from the results is something that anyone can do. This technique can also be used in the future. If the advantage of foresight cannot be directly manifested, the intelligence can be used flexibly in this way.
Of course, the main reason is to give this guy Utian Shou a shot, lest he misunderstand something, and he will kill him at the first meeting, cutting off all of Izumi Shinichi's head.
Although Uda Mamoru's personality is relatively timid and fearful, he does not dare to take the initiative to fight, but his parasitic beast is decisive enough and ruthless, and once he seizes the opportunity, he will kill with one blow.
In the original plot, Quanxin was unable to attack the parasitic beast that occupied his mother's body many times. In the end, he relied on Utian Mamoru's parasitic beast to launch a surprise attack and cut off the monster's head. down.
"Really, really? That person is in the same situation as us?"
Uda Mori couldn't believe it. Happiness came so suddenly. Could it be his lucky day? Otherwise, how could he suddenly get rid of the helpless situation of loneliness and suddenly meet two real companions?
"I'm not sure about this, I just think it's very possible... In order to avoid accidents, we will directly suppress him later. If we confirm that his brain is still his own, then everything is fine. If not...cut its head off!"
Xia Ran naturally won't die, but his mind couldn't help but become active.
If you really take this opportunity to kill the protagonist of the plot, what will you reveal to yourself? If one more piece of "special equipment" comes out, he can't sacrifice his right hand as well, right?
This is absolutely not possible. Before, he had no choice. If he hesitated, he would give it for nothing... But now, he doesn't need to do such a thing anymore.
Although it is said that the most direct way to increase the combat effectiveness of the parasitic beast system is to increase the number of parasitic beasts——
The last boss in the original book seems to be a combination of five parasitic beasts. Almost every part of the body is made up of parasitic beasts, but Xia Ran feels cold when he thinks about it. His current tolerance is limited to one left hand.
Of course, if you don't use it yourself, it's okay to sell it after you choose it... and let's not say anything else, killing the interference obtained by the protagonist of the plot may be enough to make yourself directly ostracized from this world and return to Is it your own world?
However, this is just Xia Ran's subconscious thinking. After all, he is not a saint, so it is normal to have some dark psychology occasionally, but he is really not a person who is so mad that he has no bottom line.
