Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

Chapter 347 Right Hand, and Her 'Dad'

Open your eyes again.

"Wow."

The lead-gray curtains swayed in the wind.

Su Ming didn't see An Shiyao, but he noticed that his clothes seemed to have been changed.

"Yes, just follow what the plan says."

"Remember to check again. Do not allow them to switch to outsourcing companies for cooperation. This point must be emphasized."

“If you discover this behavior afterwards, you will bear the consequences at your own risk.”

"..."

"Ah, wait. Come pick me up first."

"I almost forgot the most important thing."

"I do have a PETS-5 certificate. But... it's far from enough. I may go to Eagle Country more often in the future. Don't guess, it has nothing to do with the company's overall business."

"Well...it has something to do with my husband's company."

"..."

She was on the balcony, talking on the phone.

Su Ming didn't get up, but he could feel that she was peeping at him.

"To try to do something you can't do is called arrogance."

"If you can't do it but there is still room for improvement, then not taking action is called giving up...right?"

"Only by becoming better can I suppress this... unnecessary fantasy."

"I will always be Yao, right?"

I felt the soft corner of lips touch my cheek, and then the footsteps became farther and farther away. I changed my shoes at the entrance, and they should be flat shoes... The sound was not that loud.

"..."

Su Ming got up only after hearing the door close.

【Results settlement completed】

[This time the score is 22, the grade is poor]

[Do you want to upload the current score as the final score and claim the reward immediately? Note, you will not be able to enter the world again after the final upload]

【whether】

[After 00.09.59, 'Yes' is selected by default and the final upload operation is performed]

Su Ming confirmed it again.

It is indeed 'loading the file', nothing else.

By negative effects, do you mean that reloading the save file will give you a similar experience to when the target dies? Or is it the same fatigue you get from reloading the save file in Parasite?

No matter which one it was, Su Ming found it acceptable.

the man.

If you can't even tolerate this side effect, how can you protect anyone?

Any unnecessary fantasies?

Nothing.

After this is over, I don't have to think about the mission anymore. It doesn't matter who the person is or what their fate is.

Enough is enough.

Now that I have the biggest trump card, a trump card that can be used in real life, it’s time to end it.

Whether it's denying entry or negative tasks, there should be a way to end the game. I'll study it later.

"call……"

Su Ming sat up and untied his belt.

Sure enough, the pants had been changed.

An Shiyao must have done something while I was sleeping.

Never mind.

Pick up the phone, edit the message and send it.

[Xue'er, don't be embarrassed to talk about it just because it's a knife in my hand, or something else. ]

【…】

If I ask this, as long as Xueer replies, whether she tells the truth or finds it difficult to say, I can easily tell from her words whether it is a person or something else.

It should not be the right hand, nor the philosophy blade.

In other words, unlike An Xiaoxi last time, his mood won’t change with his mood?
Ok……

Taking a step back, if it really was the right hand... Su Ming would be quite relieved.

【Yes】

Make a new choice and lie down again.

OK.

Next, let's see what the difficult tasks are. Roll up your sleeves and do it with all your heart.

6 month 2 day.

early.

[Player Su Ming, you have entered the 'Parasite' world]

"I'm sorry for making such a ridiculous request."

"Thank you for giving me time to recover. I won't make any more requests."

"..."

Did you say before that you wanted to go out?

Su Ming didn't answer, she probably thought it was a rejection. She put the samurai sword against the wall and picked up a book from the side.

[Simple explosives production and circuits]

This is the name of the book.

"Can I sit here and read?"

"……Can."

"..."

She sat there, not wanting to say anything else.

[Current bonus given to players: reload (if you are not satisfied now, why not start over?) This technology is provided by the re0 production team]

[Current mission: Assist Tokugawa Airi to complete revenge and defeat the designated advanced parasite. Or survive for 365 days]

[No penalty for failure]

[The explanation has been completed. I wish you a happy game. 】

Is it really revenge?
There is an additional 365-day option. Could it be that the designated parasite is difficult to deal with?
Forget it.

You can tell whether it is a mule or a horse when you see it. It is impossible to choose the latter option before the start. How long you survive can only be considered when you cannot complete the previous tasks.

"Clap."

Su Ming habitually took out a cigarette and lit it.

"..."

Perhaps Tokugawa Airi heard the sound of the lighter and glanced at Su Ming, but quickly retracted her gaze to the pages of the book.

"cough."

Su Ming felt a little strange.

In the snowy country, if a person intends to help an old lady cross the road, does he need to make up a suitable reason?
Now, I plan to help Tokugawa Airi take revenge. Do I need to make up a reason?
Rather than saying it's a Kamen Rider passing by, it's better to say it's for no reason.

"..."

After coughing several times, Tokugawa Airi finally focused her attention on Su Ming.

"You want me now?"

"I understand."

She put the book down, stood up and calmly unbuttoned her jacket.

"Wait! Why do I think of this no matter what I say?"

"?"

Tokugawa Airi stopped what she was doing. "I don't think there's anything else here that would interest you. You should have a more detailed map than I do. You should have a lot more food, water, and medicine resources than I do."

"I'm sorry I don't understand what you need. Please tell me directly."

"First of all, even in a cruel world there are good people. Like me."

"..."

There was not a trace of disturbance in those calm eyes.

"Well, just assume that I'm bored and want to find something to do. I can grant you one wish."

“This is my XP.”

"...xp?"

Tokugawa Airi was stunned.

"So, what's your wish? Tell me."

"..."

Tokugawa Airi stared at Su Ming for a few seconds, then looked at the samurai sword leaning against the wall. The cloth strips wrapped around it had long been worn out because it had been used so many times.

"I beg you to keep me alive when you get tired of me."

"I don't care about those things. I just hope that if I can breathe again, I can continue to kill those monsters."

"..."

Is that right?

No matter what, he will regard himself as a scumbag who is greedy for women.

Although Su Ming was somewhat wary of the target and had a stereotype, he didn't think it was a bad thing. But why did he feel a little unhappy?
do not.

We cannot hold the idea that instead of letting her think this way, it is better to become a scumbag and completely eliminate future troubles.

Whether they are special partners or ordinary partners, it is impossible for them to develop into enemies.

"Row."

"Since you think you are imprisoned, your wish is only to be free."

"Then from now on, you are free."

"..."

I saw Tokugawa Airi still standing there, with her hand on her collar, which had already undone one button.

Su Ming waved his hand, "By the way, this is your temporary residence. I'm leaving here. You are free to do whatever you want."

"Find out for yourself."

"The world is not black and white. Occasionally, there are good things and good people."

How could a noble player covet the body of an NPC?
Even if she is a blonde girl with a slight rash. Even if she looks easy to be pushed down.

From the past to now, I have always been a good person. As long as the NPC is not determined to give it, how can I not refuse it?

It's not that my moral bottom line is too low, it's that there is something wrong with the world I experienced before. Something is wrong.

6 month 2 day.

morning.

The man named Su Ming really left.

They said they were from another country... but that was actually full of loopholes. In my opinion, the clean clothes they wore looked like they were traveling somewhere before a natural disaster.

Perhaps, it is the feeling of relaxation that only the strong can have.

He could do it. Easily take out a monster that I couldn't even run away from.

For a moment, I naively thought, is there any way I can ask him to help me get revenge?

I've met a lot of people.

the man.

Before they knew my strength, they were extremely arrogant, acting like a superior ruler... or they took good care of me and spoke kindly to me. But by observing the state of other women around them, I knew that women with no strength but only good looks in this world could only be used as items for them to trade with others or throw away when they got tired of playing with them.

'Would you like to have some fun?'

"If I hadn't protected you just now, you would have died long ago."

Sometimes, some shameless men would come up to steal monsters. They would watch me take down one with all my strength, and then come to finish me off. They thought they could control me.

Killing people is easier than killing monsters.

Or rather, in my eyes, they are not much different from monsters. It's just that if they don't take the initiative to provoke me, I won't do anything.

Of course I have thought about it.

One day, I will meet someone who can truly control me, whether it's a man or a woman.

There are always people who are better than you. I am definitely not the best.

Then, maybe I will become like some of the women I have met, treated as an object by men.

I wasn't afraid, I just thought that was the law of the world. The strong prey on the weak, the weak will not be able to protect their families, the weak will have no bargaining chips, and will be traded as an object.

'Actually, I'm a good person.'

I can't see through him who calls himself a good person.

But I'm not so naive as to think that someone would really help me without expecting anything in return. If you know where I really want to go and what monster I want to find, they will just say I'm crazy.

Maybe it's a bad taste.

Tired of playing with 'objects' and want to play with the feelings of 'objects'.

But unfortunately, I have long lost all my extra emotions. My world is only about killing monsters and learning all kinds of knowledge on the way to killing monsters.

I won’t think about what I want to do if I am suddenly given freedom.

I told you, just say what you want.

The katana is in another place, I have a lot of it stored. If you are following me and want to get my resources, it doesn't matter. They are all junk anyway.

No one can help me.

I have to rely on myself for everything.

Even though there is a high probability that I will become that man's property in the future, it is not entirely a bad thing.

I am now absolutely convinced.

It is possible for humans to become strong enough to kill monsters easily.

My current strength is far from the real bottleneck. I have no resources, no professional institutions... All I can do is keep fighting.

6 month 2 day.

in the afternoon.

Su Ming has been following Tokugawa Aili from a distance.

I saw her go to another building and take out a simple explosive pack and a fuse... and smear some black liquid on the knife. It felt like poison.

There is something wrong with this person.

He was just rescued by me from a place where monsters were active, and now he is rushing there again.

Judging from Su Ming's experience fighting monsters, the explosive pack in her bag probably wouldn't work... Poison shouldn't work either, right? If it was that simple, why was there no one else in this place except her?

6 month 2 day.

Night.

Tokugawa Airi only encountered low-level monsters, the same kind of small characters that Su Ming met at the door when he first came here.

Just say more quantity.

That thing was just as Su Ming thought, it was not aggressive in front of Su Ming. But in front of Tokugawa Airi, it was comparable to the plus version of the killer. The speed and strength were quite fierce. If it was replaced by Su Ming, who only had the swordsmanship bonus at the beginning, it would probably take a lot of effort.

"what!"

"Puchi——" Her combat uniform was completely stained red by the monster's liquid.

6 month 2 day.

late at night.

Tokugawa Airi is taking a bath.

To be more precise, it was to wipe the body. Take off the jacket and combat uniform and wipe from the cheek to the private parts.

"..."

Since she had returned to the floor where she had started the fire, Su Ming could no longer hide his tracks.

But she didn't care at all.

He carefully wiped off the monster blood that had seeped through his trouser legs. That area was clean without any impurities.

"It made you laugh."

"I haven't undergone any training to become a Level 3 Evolver. My immunity is not as good as those who have undergone formal training. I can only protect myself as much as possible through physical means."

"..."

Is that disinfectant?

Kuku fell on his thighs. The air was filled with the smell of alcohol.

Let's say she was showing off...her expression was really too calm.

It's really clean. No impurities.

"Thank you for giving me a brief moment of freedom."

"If you need..."

Is it because you stared at me unconsciously for a few more seconds that you came again?
"Excuse me, can I still go out tomorrow?"

"..."

Also.

She said she was giving me freedom, but I was always there. In her eyes, it wasn't freedom at all, right?

Clean or not, no impurities or anything like that… Isn’t Xue’er the same? Xiaoye is the same.

As a noble player, how could he lose control after seeing this?

6 month 3 day.

early morning.

"Everyone, get out. I've requisitioned this place."

It was much easier for Su Ming to find a new place to live than for Tokugawa Aili. He just had to push those low-level monsters out step by step.

"Gulu..."

Apart from babbling horribly, they were completely unable to find their target.

It can be said that Su Ming pushed him out of the room while he was sleeping. Although living with them is probably okay, it is hard to bear seeing their tentacles tumbling occasionally, plus they smell a bit...

Does this mean she is free now?

No monitoring, no appearance.

6 month 3 day.

Early in the morning, maybe around three or four.

Su Ming didn't find anything useful to tell time. Or rather, he didn't look for it.

He planned to go out and find some useful equipment, and look for Xueer at the same time.

but……

The right hand moved on its own.

"..."

As long as I relax my right hand, it will move on its own. It will then take the charcoal from the fire and write.

【Reward you】

Is it really the right hand?
I gave up half-heartedly after I tried to provoke her but didn't get a response. Did I just endure it?
That makes sense as well as the unexpected force exerted by the right hand before.

There is indeed a buff bonus. The bonus of the wife.

"Reward...you mean I didn't do anything?"

[You...are not that lewd.]

It wasn't good in the first place, right?
So, what is the purpose of putting down the carbon block and putting your hands on your stomach?
6 month 3 day.

The sky was turning pale.

Su Ming had an indescribable feeling.

Is this considered self-reliance, or what?
Even if Xue'er wrote later that she was hungry, etc., but thinking about it again... Xue'er couldn't have swallowed it after her right hand became dirty. So being hungry or not has nothing to do with whether her right hand is dirty or not, right?
【Looking at the plum blossoms, I stopped. 】

"Looking at the plums will quench your thirst, right?"

[Sleep, sleep! ]

"..."

It was a wonderful experience. My right hand automatically rested on my chest. It was like Xueer had found a comfortable position to sleep.

Wait.

If Xue'er is the hand, then doesn't that mean she is being used as a rag...

hiss.

Since it is a hand, her experience is...

asked.

"..."

Then Su Ming's cafeteria was attacked by being strangled.

No matter what, Xue'er is in his hands, and unlike the time with An Xiaoxi, this time he knows it in advance.

With all the buffs stacked up, how could one lower one's moral bottom line so easily?
Tokugawa Airi, just go free.

When I really encounter a stronger monster, I won’t take action until I breathe my last.

How to make the relationship neither so good nor so bad?
Since I can't consider myself a good person, I might as well pretend to be a not-so-good person. I'll let her beg me when she has only one breath left.

6 month 5 day.

Su Ming really chose to let it go.

Focus on finding useful things in the city. There are also inspection bureaus and guns here.

There are hospitals, schools, and even cars and airplanes. But many things are decayed and covered with moss.

I thought it was a bit strange that the words were the same as the small island next to the Snow Country, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

Now think about it...

In a different world, the writing and other things are still the same? Even the civilization is so similar.

But it really doesn't make sense.

After finally turning on the phone he found, the time displayed was indeed 177x. Yingyue Year… Su Ming had never heard of this year in Neon, where he had been before. Although the names of the countries in the offline map were completely different, their land distribution was almost the same. It was just that the eastern map seemed a little bigger, and there were not two big countries, but only one. There were also very few small countries.

I don't understand.

But since the name is different, it should be a completely different place, not the Snow Country that An Shiyao or she is used to.

So, Tokugawa Airi hasn't encountered any high-level monsters yet?
Should we try another approach? Take the initiative to help her kindly lead the two over?

[Unfortunately, the target is dead]

Less than two minutes after Su Ming left the house, the screen froze.

did you find it?

Is it finally time for the good guys to reappear?
6 month 5 day.

in the afternoon.

"Tokugawa, you're amazing."

"I actually killed this monster."

Several men in camouflage uniforms stood opposite Tokugawa Airi, who was leaning on her samurai sword, looking a little tired.

The old wounds from the previous time when she was almost killed by the monsters had not healed yet, and this time she faced more than a dozen low-level monsters at once, adding new ones. She was aware that... even if she tried her best, she could only exchange one for one with the man opposite.

"A few days ago, our people saw with their own eyes that the lone wolf who claimed to be uninterested in men ran away happily with a man."

"You don't want to play with us. It turns out there's a man there. You've been played to pieces."

"Haha. What? You really want to eat a monster like this?"

"..."

There was still some meat chopped up by the tentacles at the corners of Tokugawa Airi's mouth. She had no resources, so the only thing she could gamble on...the reason she could reach this point without any resources, apart from training day after day, was that her body, which was already immune, could be cultivated with the meat of a core part of these monsters that were evolvers in their previous lives.

It has always been done this way. But... no one dares to do it except her.

"If I wear a condom, I won't get infected by this woman, right?"

"..."

Tokugawa Airi said nothing.

She just thought that instead of wasting energy to kill the man opposite, it would be better to detonate the bombs buried around to attract more monsters.

"You used to be very good at showing off, didn't you? I opened the door of the shelter for you in a nice way, but now you don't want to have sex with me."

"You won't be given another chance to be a qualified woman now."

“It can only be a pot.”

"..."

Tokugawa Airi silently groped for the bulge hidden in the cloth strap of the samurai sword. It was the remote control switch.

She didn't notice the man who rescued her before.

Freedom...is freedom really given?
It doesn’t matter anymore.

It doesn't matter what kind of weird person he is. I have always been like this.

On their own.

"Wait a minute... what did you hide in the straps on your knife?!"

"Bam—"

The explosive pack has two functions. One is to clear the way for Tokugawa Airi, and the other is to deliberately attract monsters from a distance. Wait until the right number of monsters are killed before using them yourself. Generally, they will not be used directly near the noise.

Now is the exception.

There was no way she would submit to such a dirty and weak man. She had never done that before, and she would never do that now.

"Mad! You f---"

As densely packed and wriggling monsters emerged from the surrounding buildings, the men's faces turned pale.

"Please, help me kill the monster."

"If you fight hard, maybe you can still survive."

Compared to them who just like to hide and never face monsters if they can, Tokugawa Airi can handle low-level monsters with ease even when she is exhausted.

She was not worried that some of these people would escape and become enemies. When her body fully recovered, she was never afraid.

Want to treat yourself as an object?
Ha ha.

Unless you are like him, just seeing him take action, you know that no matter what kind of resistance is useless. That... is fate. Not now.

6 month 5 day.

in the afternoon.

Tokugawa Airi escaped. She didn't know whether the men died or escaped as well.

But...it's foggy.

The vast white fog made her tremble uncontrollably.

How did the elite of the Self-Defense Forces get wiped out more than two years ago? It was all due to fog.

Is the direction wrong?
Isn't this the direction back to our temporary residence?

Why would the fog that I had only heard of and had only appeared in Chiyo Ward appear here?

"Rumble--"

The ground shook.

It seemed as if some huge creature was moving.

But soon, the fog dissipated.

All Tokugawa Airi saw was a broken sidewalk and a familiar figure standing there, wearing leather shoes and a white shirt.

"Aili-chan."

"Are you tired?"

"Come to Daddy."

"..."

How can it be?

My father clearly died more than two years ago, and was wiped out along with the Self-Defense Forces.

This is a monster!

"How could that be? Dad is Dad."

"It was so hard to find you."

"I finally survived... Where's mom? Is she not here?"

Mother?

Mom has already died. Dad is out of control, you.

I couldn't hold back my tears at all.

I knew it couldn't be true, but I couldn't control my feet. I couldn't help but take a step towards the familiar person who had opened his arms... and had a few wrinkles on his forehead.

Dad can no longer be Dad.

Even if it appears again, it will be a monster.

As long as I kill him... I can disappear too, right?

"Why, do you want to kill Dad? Don't you love Dad anymore?"

"..."

The closer Tokugawa Airi got, the more she could smell a stench.

The familiar figure was also twisting, and the hand gradually became a sickle larger than several adults, dripping with black sticky liquid.

"Dad... is very hungry."

"Would you like to fill Daddy's belly?"

"..."

I just need to stab him with my sword, and I have to fight regardless of whether I can kill him or not. Why can't I move?
My hands and feet were completely numb and my body was shaking uncontrollably.

No.

I don't want to be eaten like this... I must put an end to the monster that is parasitizing my father. I must kill it... This is the right thing to do.

“Tokugawa, are you in Ganshenmo?!”

"Offer it to the monster to eat?!"

"Pfft-"

Someone took the place of Tokugawa Airi and swung the sword. A glowing sword.

Immediately afterwards, she was dragged back several meters, instantly away from the monster.

The katana fell where it lay.

She was forcibly picked up and moved further and further away from the 'father' who was looking at her with a ferocious expression. He was not a human at all, she had known it for a long time... but she could only see it clearly now.

The body and tentacles were totally disproportionate, and it was even bigger than the monster I had encountered before and that almost killed me... The tentacles were rolled up with fascinating patterns, like a poisonous snake.

The remaining human body was completely disproportionate to the tentacles, and the remaining chest cavity… was a slightly curvy female. He was not my father at all, not when he was alive or when he turned into a monster.
