Stray Chapter 40: cold blood


Because both Izumi Shinichi and Uda Mori disagree, the hunt plan didn't start as planned.

It's not that the two of them have any sympathy towards the parasitic beast and feel that it is not easy to start.

But they think that this plan is really too reckless, and really too impulsive, how can there be such... and nothing else, if this is a trap at all, what should we do at that time?

For these opinions, Xia Ran gave up the original straightforward plan after thinking about it very seriously, not only because he didn't need to make any unpleasantness with his important companions, but also because he thought it was possible I also take it for granted.

Not everyone is like him after all—

Because I have seen the plot beforehand, I have the advantage of foresight, and I have more information, so I can judge the nature of someone or something in advance...

It's a real world after all, and everyone is a human being, flesh and blood. Even parasitic beasts have their own personalities and thoughts, and because each person is different in nature and has different views, even if it is the same thing, they will inevitably have different views and thoughts.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to force others to unconditionally agree with all his proposals, to agree with all his own opinions, and everything is subject to himself, and there should not even be any objectionable opinions.

I'm right, others are wrong - if that's the case, then this person must be arrogant.

So after self-reflection, Xia Ran also felt that she might have developed some subtle cognition and psychology because of the smoothness of this period.

In the past, he always doubted whether the plot impression in his memory was reliable... After all, this is a real world, so the plot can only be used as a reference, not a Completely superstitious, otherwise, it is easy to kill yourself...

But in the recent period, he used the intelligence advantage of the plot information to confirm several key "points" one after another——

Xia Ran also unknowingly experienced such a cognitive change, that is, she felt that since the correctness of so many plots has been proved, the subsequent plots must also be correct, and there will be no errors.

Izumi Shinichi's right hand is parasitized...

Uda Mamoru's chin is parasitized...

Izumi Shinichi's mother will be attacked while traveling...

These are all things that happened, so Hideo Shimada must have the same impression as he imagined? It must be like this, there will be no deviation...

Perhaps there really isn't any error, maybe Shimada Hideo just killed him directly, and it's a waste of time to investigate and confirm it.

But the problem is not in this aspect, but in the emergence of his cognitive ideas, which is itself a very dangerous trend.

Maybe it's right this time, and it's right next time... But if it continues like this, how can it be guaranteed that he will always be this smooth in the future? Destiny can't always be on his side, right?

It is never wrong to use the plot impression as a reference and be careful to verify it, but it should not be absolutely superstitious about the plot. Moreover, when he appeared as a "butterfly" that did not exist in the original system, the problem of variables must be considered.

Therefore, after self-reflection, Xia Ran proposed a more acceptable plan, which is to first take some time to observe Shimada Hideo's words and deeds to confirm whether what he said was consistent with his own behavior.

If this parasitic beast really can't eat people as it says it does, then it's naturally the best, but if it's just a lie, then just kill it...

It won't take too long anyway, because parasitic beasts also need to eat-

Even now that the government has launched a sweep, they will not change their biological needs.

……

……

Because when the government was sweeping away the parasitic beasts, it also took a look at the underworld forces that have been active since this time.

So the city was rarely quiet for a few days, but only for a few days.

Although the parasitic beasts are not unaware that the current situation is critical, it is best to avoid the limelight.

But "eating" is not only an instinct inscribed deep in the genes of their species, but also a natural physiological need, just like humans need to eat and drink water... It doesn't mean that the situation is critical, people can skip food and water. .

If parasitic animals want to live and maintain life activities, they must supplement nutrients. No matter what the situation, it is impossible to change this basic principle... This is an indisputable fact.

However, the officials are also not soft-hearted. As soon as a clue is found, it will immediately be crushed by thunder, and it seems that they are ready to fight a protracted war. Anyway, in the face of enough modern firepower, the parasitic beasts will not have any resistance.

It should have been like this in theory, until a few days later, the news of a gangster group was directly slaughtered by an unknown person.

"...There was a murder incident in the violent organization office, 22 people died, and all the team members in the office died. The scene..."

As soon as I swiped this kind of news on my phone, Xia Ran narrowed her eyes, judging that this should be the work of the fit monster.

Appears to be an experiment to test how well they can fight groups with guns... is it finally happening now?

Speaking of which, probably because of his random entry and the butterfly effect, the current world line has indeed changed a lot compared to the original plot, or a lot earlier.

For example, the parasitic beasts in this city will form a group in the later stage. The boss of the group will also participate in the election. If they want to become mayor or something, they have become an organized, disciplined and organized group. Premeditated groups are more dangerous and terrifying.

Even this group has specially prepared a public "canteen" for parasitic beasts, so that those parasitic beasts no longer need to disperse to hunt for food, increasing the risk of exposure.

It's just that it seems that they have not developed to this level, and probably will not develop to this level in the future, because the government has developed the relevant screening technology in advance and removed the internal moths by hand, so it is naturally impossible. Then give species such as parasitic beasts a chance to easily infiltrate the high-level system.

Therefore, these monsters did not set up an organizational group, set up a public "canteen" to benefit the majority of compatriots... so that most of the scattered parasitic beasts still need to forage on their own, and then they are severely attacked by the official.

The only thing that has appeared so far is probably the news of this five parasitic beast merged monster.

Now they are so urgent to carry out the actual combat test, even taking such a risk, knowing that they are still going against the trend of the recent crackdown, probably because they are forced to fight every step of the way by humans, right? Therefore, they urgently need to master a force that can be slightly counterbalanced, and they have initially achieved results.

Then, it is estimated that it will be time to act soon, and there may not be a few days left for my stay in this world.

Glancing at the time, I guessed that it was time for Quan Xinyi to finish school. Xia Ran stood up and walked out of the room, greeting Yu Tianshou.

Quan Xinyi's parents, as always, solemnly asked them to pay attention to safety and hope that they would take care of their son... Xia Ran naturally agreed to this, but she was slandering in her heart. What is not clear.

People are the protagonists of the plot. Whether it is "protagonist halo" or "true luck", it is estimated that they are standard. If something really happens, who will take care of who is not sure.

After going out, Xia Ran and Utian Shou went straight to Izumi Shinichi's school. After walking a few times, they were very familiar with this road. There are also many pedestrians on the road because the road leads directly to the school.

So in addition to students, there are many worried parents who are escorting their children to and from school spontaneously.

This route is more popular and safer than other nearby back roads. Therefore, over time, even other unrelated people will subconsciously choose this route, even if it takes a little more time and detours.

This is also one of the reasons why the city's current traffic conditions are extremely uneven.

Some roads or areas are crowded and crowded to an unbelievable level, and trying to pass through them is like participating in a variety of sports and fitness programs including boxing, sanda, taekwondo, judo, yoga, balance beam, etc. A comprehensive sport in one.

There are also places where no one can be seen, and the mice don't want to go from there. It's so desolate and secluded that it seems like a raccoon city with a biochemical crisis. Except that there are no corpses... oh, no, there may be corpses. , this kind of thing is not good.

Xia Ran no longer wears a hat, and no longer needs to be too careful to conceal her identity.

After all, there are so many wanted criminals during this period, and it is difficult for the public to remember so many dangerous people. He was a popular Internet celebrity two months ago, and he has long been known by the world. forgotten.

As they approached the school, Mamoru Uda's cell phone rang, and the two received a notification from Izumi Shinichi, so they quickly changed their route and entered some remote areas.

However, the two of them are not too familiar with the route, because they are not nearby people, so it is a waste of time until they are within the maximum sensing range of the straight-line distance in front of them, and the consciousness of the two parasitic beasts appears. .

When they arrived at the scene, they found that it was a brutal slaughter scene.

The already cold blood stained a large area of ​​the ground, and the intestines and other viscera also flowed all over the place. There was a girl's body lying on the cold ground, and the head and part of the neck were directly bitten off by something. .

Izumi Shinichi stood beside the corpse, clenching his left fist angrily, his alienated right hand was confronting a parasitic beast on the opposite side.

The parasitic beast on the opposite side is the same as him, wearing the same school uniform, but the neck part has become the main part of the parasitic beast with its teeth and claws...
