Does this work too?

"Are you kidding me?" Shinichi Izumi didn't believe Ryoko Tamiya's answer at all.

"This is not the place to talk."

Seeing that Shinichi Izumi didn't believe her at all, Ryoko Tamiya had no choice but to sigh helplessly and walk up the stairwell to the side.

She wanted to go to the rooftop, where no one was around at this time, making it the best place to chat.

After seeing this, Shinichi Izumi hesitated for a moment, but then followed after him.

After a while, the two arrived at the rooftop, where there was no one.

Tamiya Ryoko looked at Izumi Shinichi expressionlessly and asked, "What do you think parasites are?"

"What?" Shinichi Izumi was completely taken aback by Ryoko Tamiya's question and was momentarily at a loss for words.

“We are weak, so weak that we could be wiped out at any moment. We don’t want you humans to have developed over countless years and grown into large groups. We have only existed for a few short weeks, so we are very weak.”

"What about those people you killed?" Quan Xinyi was filled with tension as he thought about the people who had been dying in the past few days.

"Yeah, what does it matter? I don't know either. I don't even know what I am, so how could I know what those dead people are?" She looked at Shinichi Izumi helplessly, completely unaware of what she was.

What do you take life for?!

"Why don't you ask the demons that appear from time to time? In any case, we parasites are just a fleeting species, you should understand. We occupy human brains, but our bodies are still human, which means our offspring will also be human. We will eventually perish completely in a few decades."

"..."

"I've been thinking about our meaning, but I can't figure it out at all. I've tried to learn your human way of thinking, hoping to find the answer, but I've found nothing. All that's left for us parasites is extinction; we're superfluous in this world. So, what do you want to do to us?"

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Izumi suddenly didn't know what to say and could only look at Ryoko Tamiya.

At that moment, Mickey appeared and asked, "Maybe we shouldn't have shown up."

"But we showed up."

"What a failed species."

Mickey gave a helpless yet sarcastic reply and then fell silent.

Tamiya Ryoko looked at Izumi Shinichi again and asked seriously, "So, what do you want to see me about?"

"you……"

"If you're worried I'll kill someone, you can rest assured. My body is human, and I can survive without eating people. Humans aren't an essential food source; in fact, eating people can cause illness. So, you can treat me as a human being, a human being lacking some emotions."

Tamiya Ryoko's words left Izumi Shinichi speechless for a long time, unsure of what to say.

These past few days, he's encountered incredibly cruel parasites, and now that he's met a law-abiding one, he doesn't know what to do.

"Wait, Shinichi! A crewmate has arrived!"

Suddenly Mickey interrupted their conversation, and at the same time, Ryoko Tamiya noticed it and turned to look at the school gate.

She paused for a moment, then said, "It's A. I've run into him before. He doesn't care about humans at all, killing indiscriminately. Looks like he's here to find me."

"What?! Doesn't that mean it's very dangerous?! Is there any way to stop it?!"

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Izumi immediately panicked and became tense.

“I won’t take action. As a human, I can’t defeat a parasite without weapons. I still need to live under this identity, so… I won’t take action. Shinichi Izumi, you don’t want your parasite infection to be exposed, do you?”

"..."

"So, don't worry about it. Just run away."

Tamiya Ryoko spoke earnestly and rationally to Izumi Shinichi, while Mickey responded, saying to Shinichi, "The wise thing to do is to leave unscathed. Shinichi, let's go. This guy has already exposed himself; he's doomed."

"Are you kidding me! How could I just walk away like that! This is my classmate!"

Shinichi Izumi stared angrily at Ryoko Tamiya, his expression filled with utter incomprehension.

Similarly, Tamiya Ryoko and Mickey couldn't understand Izumi Shinichi; they had no feelings yet and could only act in the most rational way.

"..."

However, Tamiya Ryoko ignored Izumi Shinichi, turned around and ran outside, leaving without looking back.

As long as she survives, that's enough; nothing else matters.

In the end, Shinichi Izumi was left alone, angry and at a loss. If he rushed out now, he would be exposed, and from then on, he and his family would be targeted, and he would never have a peaceful life again.

On the other side, Ryoko Tamiya climbed over the wall without alerting anyone, and no one around noticed her actions.

They successfully left; now all they have to do is wait for A to die.

Thinking of this, she walked silently through the alleys of the residential area. Many of the roads in Japanese residential areas are pedestrian-only.

There are many intersections, and there is one right in front of her.

Just then, Tamiya Yoshiko suddenly stopped in her tracks, her whole body tensing up abruptly.

A sense of instinctive fear arose, as if she had encountered a natural enemy. Her biological instincts told her to run away, even if it meant losing her body!

What's ahead?

She stood frozen in place, slowly raising her head to look at the intersection ahead.

There's none directly opposite... it's to the left!

The left side of the intersection emanated an aura that terrified her, as if some primordial beast were lurking there.

Tread...  

Footsteps could no longer be heard, and there was a stagnant smell in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a man carrying a white plastic shopping bag, wearing a green tracksuit and slippers, walked from the left side of the intersection to the right.

"Demons, gods, evil gods, Devil May Cry, parasites have all appeared. This world is really chaotic. Should we call Uncle DOOM over? I think he'd be happy to come and tear the demons apart."

"!!!"

Tamiya Ryoko felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation, as if a mountain was pressing down on her entire body. It was a fear that came from her DNA, like a human seeing a cliff and knowing that jumping off would mean death, or seeing a sharp sword and knowing that being hit would mean injury.

This is instinct! It's also the experience that allows you to survive for a long time.

She now felt that the man in front of her was her nemesis! Even being seen by him would mean death.

Will die, will die, will die, will die!

Her instincts kept reminding her, making her too afraid to look up, and she stood motionless with her head down.

At the same time, what the man said made her realize something incredible.

This world isn't just inhabited by demons, it also has evil gods!

Moreover, the man who appeared was definitely not an ordinary person!

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the man uttered a questioning sound.

bang bang dong!

Tamiya Ryoko's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a sense of fear; he had discovered her!

"Miss, what are you afraid of?"

The man in front of her asked a question, his tone filled with suspicion.

I have to say something!

Tamiya Ryoko immediately reminded herself that she was terrified.

At that moment, terrified screams erupted from inside the school.

"Killing people!!"

"A monster!!"

"Help! Help me, please!!"

The unexpected situation interrupted the man's doubts, and his attention turned to the school.

Tamiya Ryoko felt a little less pressure as she realized this, and the man in front of her leaped up and disappeared from sight.

"call……"

Ryoko Tamiya breathed a sigh of relief after the man disappeared.

……

Inside the school, on the playground at the main gate, severed bodies lay scattered on the ground, stained crimson with blood.

A body with a head turned into blades stood there, and the students and teachers around stared in horror at the person at the entrance.

Among the students, Izumi Shinichi rushed down from the teaching building, and his face darkened when he saw the situation on the playground.

"Damn it! Mickey! Prepare for battle!"

Shinichi Izumi didn't care about anything else and decided to rush into battle.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't move his body, and was even filled with fear.

"what happened!?"

"Shinichi...run!...There's...some terrifying monster coming! Run!"

"What!?"

Shinichi Izumi opened his mouth in bewilderment, and then he saw a man wearing a green tracksuit with the word "science" printed on his chest jump over the school's outer wall.

The man was wearing slippers and carrying a white plastic bag, looking casual as if he was just going downstairs to buy something and then heading home.

For some reason, the moment Izumi Shinichi saw this man, a sense of fear overwhelmed him.

The parasite in front of them stood motionless, as if sensing some great terror.

The person who arrived was Leng Mo.

"Parasyte? Is it that brave?"

Upon seeing A's appearance, Leng Mo immediately understood the situation and casually said something to A.

This is a parasite invading the school.

“You…you…what are you…” A trembled as it looked up at Leng Mo through its tentacles upon hearing Leng Mo’s words.

"He's just a villain who's passing through. Remember that."

Snapped!

Leng Mo casually said something and snapped his fingers.

Swish!

In an instant, several innocent civilians who had been killed sat down in terror on the ground, their bodies seemingly unharmed.

"I...I'm not dead..."

"what happened?"

"Aaaaaaah! That monster!"

Upon seeing the parasite, the resurrected person screamed in terror and scrambled away into the distance.

how is this possible! !

Upon seeing this scene, Shinichi Izumi's pupils contracted, filled with fear.

Mickey exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible! He should be dead... This doesn't make sense at all! Shinichi! Don't move, that man—! He's terrifying!!"

The next second, Leng Mo vanished from the spot.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, Leng Mo appeared opposite the parasite, standing in a very stylish pose, exuding a tough-guy aura as he turned around and said:

"You're already dead."

"Nani!?"

Pfft——! ! !

The parasite's body instantly gushed out blood, a massive amount that sprayed high into the air.

"I, Senior Xiaoyuan, never leave my name when I do good deeds. Remember this well! It was Senior Xiaoyuan who saved you!"
