In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

Today, Hikigaya and Natsuno were suddenly stopped by the head coach, Yukinoshita. Now they got on a car that should belong to Yukinoshita's family. Yukino sat in the front seat and told the driver the destination.

Hikigaya in the back row lowered his voice and asked Xia Yan beside him in confusion.

"Who knows?"

To be honest, Xia Yan was also a little confused, but after shaking his head, he didn't care too much about it. "Yukino should explain it to us after we reach our destination."

"Where's Yukino?"

Amidst Hikigaya's whispered teasing, the vehicle quickly arrived at its destination.

What surprised Xia Yan and Hikigaya was that the place where they got off was actually 5-chome in Beika-cho.

On both sides of the vehicles parked on the side of the road, you can see a row of single-family buildings, most of which are only a few stories high, stretching all the way out with no end in sight.

And Yukinoshita Yukino's destination is one of the ordinary little buildings here.

"squeak~"

With the sound of door hinges turning slightly, the door to the second floor of the small building was pushed open. It could be seen that although the area inside was not large, it seemed spacious because all the furniture had been moved out, and the room had been cleaned thoroughly.

"I've asked my sister to rent this place. I plan to set up a paranormal agency here."

After several people filed in, Xue Nai crossed her arms and looked at Xia Yan and the others who were wandering around. She explained, "This way, during the holiday, we can have a base where we can gather and discuss things in peace."

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Xia Yan seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but reveal an expression that said, "At this point, it's not easy for me to say that I want to meet up during the holiday, I just mentioned it casually."

"I'm not entirely looking to just rent a meeting place."

Xue No glanced at him and knew what he was thinking. "I was thinking before that if we just rely on searching for strange stories and legends on the Internet, the intelligence information we can obtain and the number of strange beings we can find are ultimately limited."

"In that case, why don't we create a supernatural agency and invite people who may have actually experienced supernatural events to come to us for entrustment. We can also hire some staff to conduct field research on the locations of various monster legends, instead of us having to do everything ourselves."

"Of course, we all look too young, so it's hard for us to gain the trust of others and let them entrust us with our services, so..."

It was obvious that Xueno had really thought about it a lot, but she was interrupted by the sound of a door opening with a bang just as she was speaking, followed by a cheerful voice.

"Hello~, are you guys here?"

Xia Yan looked in the direction of the voice and saw the energetic and delicately made-up Yukinoshita Haruno. She was holding the door with one hand and waving the other happily. She greeted Xia Yan with a hint of emotion: "Ah~, I really didn't expect that Yukino would come to me for help, asking me to help her rent an office and set up a paranormal agency..."

"This is really the first time, Xia, is this also your influence?"

Yang Nai stroked her red lips with her slender fingers, and looked at Xia Yan with a sweet smile, as if asking, but also as if just teasing, "Can you tell me, sister, what secret are you hiding?"

"elder sister!"

"Oh, there's a new classmate too. Is he also your friend?"

As Yukino tried to stop her sister but to no avail, Hikigaya raised his hands in embarrassment, wondering how to deal with this Buchou-sister who could sense trouble at the first glance.

Suddenly, a chill swept through his entire body.

"boom!"

Hikigaya looked at Xia Yan in front of him, who reacted faster than him, suddenly opened the window of the room, and looked down at the outside.

Then his right hand suddenly rose up automatically and covered his ears. The next second, Hikigaya said with a rather ugly expression: "There are similar people..."

Chapter 121 The Parasitic Beast Continues into Reality

"There's someone like us, and she said she wants to talk to us."

Hikigaya looked a little grim as he relayed the reminder from his parasite, Gunyou.

"Already seen it."

Xia Yan placed his right hand on the edge of the window, looking calmly across the street below at the three "people" who were standing quietly, looking up at him.

The leader among them was a tall woman with long gray-purple hair, wearing a white OL skirt and carrying a shoulder bag, like a very ordinary modern successful person.

However, her eyes, which seemed a little narrow compared to her facial features, gave her a strangely eerie aura.

Behind her stood two strong men who looked like her bodyguards.

Except for the initial outburst of hostility, when they "greeted" Xia Yan and others, and had a moment of tit-for-tat with Xia Yan who opened the window immediately afterwards, the atmosphere of these two people has now completely calmed down.

As Xia Yan looked towards her, the woman leading the three people slowly opened her mouth. Although there was a busy and noisy road between them, the words that came out of her mouth were transmitted directly to Xia Yan's mind at the same time: "Let's go to another place."

"This is really..."

Listening to the voice ringing in his mind, Xia Yan grinned helplessly, "This [opening ceremony] is quite grand."

……

……

Near Go-chome, Poirot Coffee Shop.

Xia Yan was too lazy to complain about Yukino, or the choice of location for Yukinoshita Haruno.

The paranormal agency, which has not yet opened, is next to the Maori Detective Agency. This Poirot Coffee Shop is the one downstairs from Uncle Maori. With the "God of Death" boosting sales, it is hard for his paranormal agency's business not to be prosperous.

For example, nowadays, it is so prosperous that aliens come to our door in person.

There were four people in total on Xia Yan's side, including Hikigaya and the Yukinoshita sisters, and three on Parasyte's side. Both sides maintained tacit understanding and restraint, and sat down in this store seemingly in harmony.

Xia Yan and the female parasite...or to be more blunt, Tamiya Yoshiko, sat opposite each other with a table between them.

Tamiya Yoshiko's two bodyguards sat at another table behind her with their backs to the crowd.

On Xia Yan's side, Yukino and Hikigaya sat behind him with serious expressions, while Yukinoshita Haruno, who insisted on following, was still a little confused and stood leaning next to the chair where her sister was sitting.

Besides being a little surprised that the god of death lived next door to him, Xia Yan also made an even more unexpected discovery...

"This is the hot coffee you ordered. Please enjoy it slowly."

Xia Yan's eyes seemed to be out of control, staring at the dark-skinned, short-blond-haired "waiter" next to him, who was wearing a dark blue apron, with a gentle smile on his face, and looked like a warm man.

Bourbon, Furuya Rei, Amuro Toru, so you investigated me and found out I was working at Poirot Coffee Shop to earn money?!

Ha ha……

A certain Japanese public security undercover who has now changed his name to "Amuro Toru" secretly wiped a cold sweat in his heart. Sure enough, he was seen through by this young man again.

But why, during the last incident with the lurking evil spirit, and even before that, his appearance and even his skin color should not have been exposed, but why was his identity inexplicably exposed again?

While Amuro Toru was thinking about something, his expression remained calm. He still maintained that perfect smile and asked, "Dear guests, is there anything you need?"

"Then give me some sandwiches. I heard your sandwiches are quite famous." Tamiya Yoshiko flipped through the menu like an ordinary human customer, ordering dishes in a normal way.

"OK, just a second."

After Amuro Toru bowed slightly and left with a smile on his face, Tamiya Yoshiko also withdrew her gaze from him and turned to look at Xia Yan, who was obviously the leader among the group, in front of her. "This is the first time we officially meet, young man."

Xia Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, but before he could think about what Tamiya Yoshiko meant, her voice rang out again.

"Force is truly a good thing. It can solve most problems simply and directly, and sometimes it can get you what you want without any cost."

Tamiya Yoshiko picked up the stirring spoon next to the coffee cup with her fingers and slowly stirred her own cup of coffee on the table. She talked about a seemingly unrelated topic, "But sometimes, there is no need to resort to uncertain violence. With a little peaceful communication, we can get what we want."

"And if we think about it carefully, there's actually no absolute conflict of interest, right? What do you think, young man?"

"I think so too. I hate violence the most."

Xia Yan glanced at the opponent's attribute panel, [Tamiya Yoshiko (clone)], which he had taken the opportunity to obtain during the confrontation just now. He couldn't help but nod in affirmation, "I totally agree!"

Yoshiko Tamiya is the absolute intellectual leader of the Parasyte camp in the reincarnation world that Hikigaya experienced.

No wonder she wasn't seen at all when Hikigaya attacked the city hall. It turns out she had accidentally come to this world a long time ago.

Xia Yan thought to herself with a headache, if she couldn't kill a guy like Tamiya Yoshiko in one go, then she would definitely become a huge hidden danger.

After all, one of them is in the light and the other is in the dark. The one who came to visit him was just a clone. Even if she was beaten to death, she would immediately hide in the dark again, and Xia Yan would naturally have no way to do anything.

And judging from Tamiya Yoshiko's various performances, she definitely obtained a lot of special "resources (experimental subjects)".

You know, the technologies related to parasitic beast clones, parasitic beast multi-body transformation, etc. in the scene card of [Higashifukuyama City Hall] that Xia Yan holds were all developed by her.

Xia Yan is now a little confused about how far this guy has evolved. Anyway, her current state is definitely not that of an ordinary parasitic beast.

If this happened in a novel, if Tamiya Yoshiko insisted on her own way, she would definitely have the potential to become a villain from beginning to end.

and……

Xia Yan had to admit that what Tamiya Yoshiko said was indeed correct.

She was dangerous, but there was no fundamental conflict of interest between them, other than the dispute between humans and aliens.

It is true that Xia Yan can gain benefits such as fragments and coordinates from their lives, and parasitic beasts like Tamiya Ryoko are also a cannibalistic race, but...

None of these things are beyond self-control.

The specific details will depend on how they negotiate.

"It would be great if we could reach a consensus. Let's get down to business now."

Tamiya Yoshiko raised a finger and pointed expressionlessly at the center of the table between them. "I came here to exchange information with you."

"How about we play a game?"

Chapter 122 Ryoko Tamiya

"The first time, I saw you, and you said to me, 'I'm not going to do that anymore. '"

"Huh? But the material isn't..."

"Please! I'm sorry. I can't help it."

"Uh... well."

Feeling the sudden burst of momentum from the woman with a slightly sinister look in her eyes at the only table of customers in the restaurant over there - well, actually, Tamiya Yoshiko didn't specifically burst out with any momentum, but the sudden domineering aura she exuded was enough to make people with keen perceptions notice that something was wrong.

Amuro Toru, who had just worked here for three days, noticed that the situation of several people over there seemed to have suddenly become a little bad, and he almost felt numb.

With no other choice, he could only find a way to clear the scene and disperse the ordinary people at the scene.

Hearing the conversation over the table, Xia Yan seemed to remember something and said without turning around, "Sister Yang Nai, could you please help me buy something?"

——In his haste, the excuses he made to get Yang Noi to leave this dangerous place were full of loopholes. After all, he didn't even explain clearly what he wanted her to buy.

Fortunately, there was someone at the scene who could help him smooth things over.

"Ok?"

Just as Yang Naixiu frowned slightly and keenly noticed that the atmosphere at the scene was a little wrong, her sister Xue Nai beside her took a deep breath and suddenly stood up. Without waiting for her to ask, she pushed her sister's back and walked towards the store door.

"Sister, let's go buy something!"

"But—no, what's going on with you guys?! Are you hiding something from me?"

"Never mind, sister, let's get out of here first!"

When the two Yangnai sisters, who obviously realized that something was wrong, and the shop assistant, Zhang Xiaopeng, came to the rescue, the shopkeepers came to the rescue, and ...

Then Toru Amuro returned to the store front desk as if nothing had happened and continued to be busy without making any noise.

"What do you mean by game?"

After the few people tacitly created an environment suitable for talking about some private matters, Xia Yan and Tamiya Yoshiko were able to continue their conversation.

"Right now, neither of us knows the value of the intelligence we each hold, nor what the other side wants to know. If we communicate like this, we might both feel disadvantaged."

"In that case, we might as well find a more interesting way to achieve this goal."

Tamiya Yoshiko obviously had no intention of stopping them from clearing the place. She just stirred her coffee silently. After they had finished all the preparations, she began to explain the meaning of the topic she had raised:

"The rules of the game are very simple. First, the first person between us will present a piece of information. When the other person thinks this information is worthwhile, they can present another piece of information that they think is equally valuable. Then the decision is returned to the first person, and this cycle continues."

"And if you feel it's not worth it, then you can terminate this communication. From now on, our intelligence exchange is completely over. Both parties will go their separate ways and will not interfere with each other in any way."

Tamiya Yoshiko raised her second finger. "Secondly, after sharing your own information, you can ask the other party any questions you want to know, but it's up to them to decide whether to answer the question or not. How about that?"

Xia Yan clasped his hands on the table and began to think about the rules of the game.

First of all, this is undoubtedly a sincerity game of mutual relay, because both parties have the right to decide whether to interrupt the game. When one party perfunctorily gives out worthless information, the other party will undoubtedly interrupt the information exchange from then on.

When the other party is not interested in the information they provide, the same applies to the above, so they also have to consider the type and value of the information they provide.
