Stray Chapter 32: The possibility of killing the final boss

However, the value of this piece of equipment seems to be a little worse. Xia Ran evaluated it a little, and then threw it into the private space, leaving it alone for the time being.

—He probably doesn't use it much, but it might work wonders at some point.

After all, no matter what type of parasitic beast it is, it will definitely not think of a person who has nowhere to hide things all over his body. Suddenly, at the moment of short-handedness, he does not know where to draw a 40-meter sword...

If it doesn't work out, it's probably the moment when the winner will be decided.

As an important standard feature for lost people, private space is not only used as an inventory, but it can also be very helpful for combat... But there are really too few grids, and the initial grids are only a small area. Five grids.

It is not impossible to expand your private space, but you also need to wait until you leave the mission world and operate in your own personal area.

And the first time you increase five grids, you need 5,000 points, the second time you add five more grids, you need 10,000 points, and the third time you increase five grids, you need 20,000 points... I don't know if there is a limit on the number of expansions. , anyway, every time it doubles on the basis of the previous one.

Xia Ran doesn't have any extra resources at the moment, and it will probably be tight in the future - even if it's just a mere 5,000 points - so the initial 5 storage grids may have to accompany him for a long time.

As for the inconvenience caused, there must be some, but this is also something that can't be done. It can only be overcome as much as possible.

……

……

After lunch, Xia Ran left the temporary residence again.

Without any goal, she just wanders around in the city, relying on the special sense of her left hand, to find the parasitic beast that may appear as the next target to hunt.

Although those things seem to have become worthless mobs, no matter how small mosquito legs are, they are still meat. Even if a parasitic beast only has 100 points, he is not willing to let it go. After all, there is nothing else to earn. way of scoring.

Besides, Xia Ran doesn't have much time left——

Originally, if he did nothing, he would be able to stay in this plane for more than a year, but if he interferes with the cause and effect of this world, it will enhance the interference of white space. Degree...

Then it will be quickly repelled by some correction force of the plane itself, and the stay time will be shortened accordingly.

As for the shortening, it depends on the level of interference. For example, because Xia Ran changed a very important and important plot node, the stay time was shortened from the estimated "one year" to "two months".

Oh, it's been less than two months now, after all, it's been a week since that.

The safest choice for him now is to spend the next time in a safe and stable manner, without causing trouble, and then safely escape from the law of gravity of this world and return to his own reality dimension.

However, the former Xia Ran might be very happy to hear such good news, and made such a choice as a matter of course... Now he doesn't want to do it.

Because now he has enough self-protection and fighting ability, and has found a companion who can help, naturally he is not willing to waste the last precious time to score points. If he does not seize this opportunity, he will All feel sorry for themselves.

...even though the individual kill rewards are now greatly reduced.

But there is no reason to say that when there are no conditions before, you have to carefully and carefully plan for every possible reward, even at the risk of your life.

And when it's time to hunt parasitic beasts with ease, they are ready to give up. No matter how small the mosquito's legs are, it's still meat.

Another important reason is-

Although Xia Ran changed Quan Xinyi's fate so that the protagonist of the plot would not encounter such a tragic future, it also made the other party lose an important opportunity for transformation.

It is precisely because he suffered a death, and was rescued by his right hand, and let the cells of the parasitic beast infiltrate his whole body, that is why Izumi Shinichi changed his previous timidity and became calm and resolute.

And because of the change in physique, he has the athletic ability and perception ability that surpasses ordinary people. Even when his right hand is sleeping, he can solve ordinary parasitic beasts alone... This is not the righteous backstab that Xia Ran took before. , but the kind that fights directly.

However, the current Izumi Shinichi will never take this road again, but as the opposite of the protagonist of the plot, the actions of the parasitic beasts may not have changed much...

So Xia Ran is really worried, will she be unable to beat the villain because the protagonist's golden finger is not strong enough.

Therefore, he wondered if he could use the last period of time to do something as much as possible, such as directly overturning the final boss or something, which is the monster that combines five parasitic beasts...

It's not that there is no chance of winning. As long as you make good use of the intelligence advantage, the odds of winning are still great.

As a matter of fact, that's what he's doing now--it seems to be stimulated by his premeditated mass hunting during this period of time, killing eight parasitic beasts in a week, so much so that the city's The other monsters in it have already begun to change.

Compared to the huge human society, the number of their groups is very rare. Even if the relationship is loose and there is no communication in normal times, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Xia Ran's thinking is also very simple, because he really has no impression of the details of the plot behind him, so he can only let that thing come to him proactively.

He vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a product created in Tamiya Ryoko's laboratory. The essence was actually five parasitic organisms parasitic in the body of the same host... Although the combat power is very ferocious, it is not one The kind that was overwhelming from the beginning.

Because the parasitic beast that was the command tower at the beginning failed in the battle with Izumi Shinichi, another parasitic beast was replaced as the command tower, and that parasitic beast was able to fully unify the whole body consciousness, and it really became a Terrifying final boss.

And Xia Ran's idea was to gather all the strength to nail it down in one go, and never let it go back and adjust it when it came to the door for the first time. opportunity to upgrade.

The same sentence, if all goes well, that monster is a low-risk, high-return, cost-effective hunting target.

After thinking about it, Xia Ran finally decided to be more aggressive.

……

……

At the same time, on a thriving shopping street.

A beautiful girl with long black hair wearing earmuffs is looking down at her phone while walking slowly forward.

Suddenly, she suddenly raised her head, showing a surprised expression, then put the phone in her pocket, turned around quickly, and trotted in the direction behind her...

Just—

"Are you going to see that person again?"

A slightly unkind tone sounded, and a scoundrel wearing a gray woolen hat with a stubble stubble on his chin, a brown-red jacket and jeans stood in the way of the girl.

"Guang Fu? How about you?"

The girl raised her eyebrows without fear, and stared at the bad **** in front of her without any fear.

"Why are you here... wait, have you been following me?"

"I said it! Kana, are you going to see him again?" The bad gangster named Mitsuo didn't answer, but asked again in a low and annoyed tone.

"He?"

"The guy who thinks he's a righteous partner..." Mitsuo clenched his fists and said a little aggrieved.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but get angry. He is a student of North High School and often clashes with students of West High School.

One day not long ago, when he and his partner were beating up a student from a western high school, an idiot came up to persuade him to fight, and was beaten severely by him, but at that time, Kana Junjima stopped Mitsuo from fighting That boy's beating...

At that time, Mitsuo didn't think there was any problem, just thought it was because Kana Junjima was more sympathetic as a girl, so it was normal.

The point is that he felt triumphant when he felt that he had performed in front of the other person once, showing off his strong muscles.

——It is also understandable that in the competitive age group, naive boys like to be aggressive in front of girls they like, and regard brain-dead behavior as a side of showing their ability.

Guangfu was naturally unavoidable. At the time, he simply thought he was beautiful, handsome, strong, and felt good about himself.

But after that, something went wrong. Kana Junjima didn't know what was wrong, so he started to investigate the guy named Izumi Shinichi, and his attention increased rapidly, and he even often went to find that guy... /

Hitsuo, who doesn't have much brains, started to panic about this. His lack of brain concentration couldn't think of any good ideas to solve this problem. He just kidnapped the kid's girlfriend and threatened him with some rude means. Boy, and beat the other party violently...

That didn't solve the problem, as Kimishima Kana kept a close eye on the kid after that, even making frequent observations around Nishigaka. Guangfu felt very disgusted by this, and the whole person became more and more irritable.

"...you get out of the way, I'm going back."

Kanajima Kana faced his questioning at the moment, she was silent for a while, and then said very coldly, without answering his question, but directly bypassing the other party and leaving.

She has no way to explain her behavior to the other party, and she doesn't feel that she really needs any explanation. The other party is not really her own, and she wants to take care of her affairs.

"Are you really going back? Didn't you go to see that kid?" Guangfu subconsciously grabbed the girl's arm and asked in a low voice, feeling a great sense of anger and crisis in his heart. "Don't you think you like him?"

"What are you doing...it hurts, let me go."

Kanajima Kana forcefully broke free and shook off the opponent's hand, and said angrily.

"And this has nothing to do with you at all? Leave me alone!"

And after being delayed by Guangfu for a little while, the target captured by telepathy is moving away. She was also a little anxious, so after breaking free from the opponent's entanglement, she trotted forward quickly, ignoring the expressions of the bad guys behind her.

“…”

The face of Mitsuo who stayed in the same place was red and white, his fist was clenched hard, and then he also chased after gnashing his teeth.
