Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 355 125: Playing

Abandoned industrial area.

Every night these days, Feidu would bring Xavier to the abandoned factory here to familiarize himself with his abilities.

Compared with its previous unstable flying state, its current performance is obviously much better. It can already make quick turns and avoid obstacles in the air.

After finishing another round of flight, Xavier landed on the ground, only to see Fei Du standing aside with a serious face, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Master, is there anything I can help you with?" Xavier asked.

His quick adaptation to the strength gave him enough confidence, and he had gotten rid of much of his previous weakness and retreat.

Fei Du frowned and looked at him, his lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

When Xavier saw Feidu's appearance, he immediately had a bad feeling: "Is there something wrong with my aunt's family again?"

Fei Du nodded hesitantly: "According to my original idea, you have to grow for at least half a month before you can barely fight those extraordinary people. But they seem to be preparing to start from your aunt's family. They have someone secretly put a sum of money into their family. Haha, when the time comes, they will probably use this money to make a fuss and prove their connection with Voodoo. Then they will direct and act in a drama and let Ito turn the tide naturally."

".Then, are even the Paladins involved? This..." Xavier's trust in the Holy See was difficult to eliminate for the time being.

"Who knows? I hope they are not, otherwise you will face two more hostile supernatural beings. It can be said that you will be alone against this country and several long-established supernatural beings. On paper, there is almost no chance of winning." Fei Du shook his head.

Xavier took a deep breath and smiled: "Master, don't I still have you?"

"Come on, what can a lame old man like me do to help you? At most, I can use this identity as a cover-up, but it will only be this time. If I don't die, I will be arrested. I can't sacrifice myself for others. I'm helping you now just because I'm happy to see the prey. I don't want the Eagle Warrior's legacy to continue to be lost."

Fei Du waved his hands, seemingly showing that he had no feelings towards Xavier.

This is his character, a master who says one thing and thinks another.

They are far more trustworthy than those who are full of righteousness and a spirit of sacrifice.

He really wasn't used to pretending to be that kind of person, it was disgusting.

In essence, he considers himself to be extremely selfish.

Xavier has also become accustomed to Fei Du's "duplicity", and now he is more concerned about the situation of his aunt and cousin.

They are his only relatives in this world.

"Master, can I go and take a look? I'm afraid if they take action, I won't be able to get there in time to save them."

"Let me ask you, now it's clear that your aunt's family may be involved with voodoo, and you, a mysterious supernatural being, suddenly appear to stop the authorities. In their eyes, the original possibility immediately becomes a reality, and they will have nowhere to hide."

Xavier was speechless, and found himself facing what seemed to be a dead end.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not omnipotent. But there is indeed a way. It depends on whether you can accept it." Fei Du was already enjoying the wonderful feeling of playing with people on the chessboard.

"What method? You tell me!" Xavier asked seriously.

"The only thing we can use is that their connection with voodoo is secret. If you suddenly show up at this time and claim to be a voodoo member, even if they know you are not, they will have to treat you as one and hunt you down with all their might. In this way, they probably won't pay much attention to your aunt's family, and they can just cause some damage to throw dirty water on you. How easy is that."

The more Xavier listened, the brighter his eyes became.

"But there is a problem." Fei Du stared at him carefully, "Many ordinary people you don't know will die because of you."

"Among them are fathers, mothers, old people and children."

"They did nothing wrong and became victims."

Xavier's expression froze and he hesitated.

Relatives and strangers, this is not an easy choice for many people, but for Xavier, it is indeed a difficult problem.

A problem that seems to have no solution.

Fei Du waited quietly for him to make a decision.

"Master, is there any other way?" Xavier smiled helplessly.

His choice was not too unexpected for Fei Du.

"No, there is only one stupid way left, which is to stay with your aunt and her family and save them when things are irreversible. But whether you can really save them and what to do next, you can only take it one step at a time."

In fact, no matter what Xavier chooses, he cannot escape Fei Du's layout. He will make this family presentable in front of Xavier.

"Okay, thank you, Master."

"Once you've made a decision, work hard towards it and don't let yourself regret it in the future. That's the right choice."

Fei Du looked at his watch: "Okay, it's almost time tonight, I still have to teach you some disguise techniques."

The next day.

Fei Du and Xavier changed their clothes, took a potion that could hide their scent, and went to a hotel near the Campbell family, where they used binoculars to conduct surveillance and observation.

“Master! Master! Is that the legendary Reverend Brand?!”

In Xavier's vision, several official cars were parked so openly in front of Campbell's house. Campbell, who was trimming the lawn near the door, was visibly panicked.

Pastor Brand and several police officers came out. Xavier didn't understand lip reading and could only guess at their expressions and behaviors.

"It seems that they are more anxious than I thought."

Fei Du put down the telescope and reminded, "Try not to point it at Brand. As a transcendent of the Holy See, he might be able to sense your sight."

Xavier nodded and continued to observe carefully.

In the sight, Brand had not spoken a word, just looking around Campbell's house. There were several police officers negotiating with Campbell.

After a while, Campbell seemed quite reluctant to invite them into the room.

Xavier's heart suddenly began to beat fast.

Fortunately, they didn't stay too long and walked out of the house. Campbell saw them off with a pale face.

"Lie down!"

He pressed Xavier under the windowsill.

Xavier did not resist and remained motionless.

After a while, Fei Du finally let out a long sigh: "Just now, we might have been discovered by Brand."

Xavier had no doubts and thought of a solution.

"Alright, we may be able to take this opportunity to find out if Brand has any connection with voodoo." Fei Du closed the curtains and stood up. "If he comes to you on his own, you can rule him out as a suspect for now, and maybe we can find a way to cooperate. But if he comes to you from the voodoo cult..."

"Let's just hope for the best. Let's go now."

"Where are we going?" Xavier asked.

"The farther from the city, the better. You don't want to involve other ordinary people, right?"

Hearing this, Xavier nodded, packed up his things and left the hotel.

Fei Du stopped a taxi and the two of them got in.

"Go to Kanta."

The driver didn't say anything, just nodded and started the car silently. Xavier recalled what he had just seen. Since they didn't capture Campbell, it should mean that there is still time. If he can get the help of the Holy See, then maybe he won't have to become a traitor to the country and can expose Ito Makoto's true face without spending a huge price.
He thought like this for ten minutes, until Feidu pushed Xavier calmly.

Xavier looked over and saw that the other person was staring at the driver.

The driver was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and he exuded a strong scent of perfume and a faint stench, and his exposed skin was extremely pale.

"Driver, let's get off." Fei Du said.

The driver pretended not to hear and continued driving. Looking at the direction, he was still heading towards the city center.

"I said, we want to get off the car!" Fei Du raised his voice and put his hands in his arms.

The driver turned around and glanced at Feidu lightly, his eyes falling on the vigilant Xavier.

After a few seconds, he slowly stopped by the roadside.

Fei Du and Xavier got out of the car and left without looking back.

The taxi started and drove towards the busiest commercial district nearby.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"This is the worst situation now. Brand is also connected to voodoo. This man is here to threaten us." Fei Du clenched his fists and looked angry.

Xavier also felt his hands and feet were cold.

Looking around, he felt that the whole country was full of traitors, and he was the only loyal one. However, everyone believed the traitors, and he, the only loyal one, became the outlier in this situation.

Will it win?
You will definitely win.

Otherwise, wouldn't this country completely become a plaything of those extraordinary people?
He couldn't understand why the extraordinary people, who also came from ordinary people, would tolerate the existence of an anti-human organization like Voodoo and even cooperate with it.

Is it really as Master said, that the purpose is to create an enemy and then take the opportunity to manipulate the entire country behind the scenes?
No, he couldn't tolerate this happening.

"Perhaps they don't know your identity, they only know that you are a strange supernatural being, so they sent a voodoo cult member to warn you not to get involved." Fei Du expressed his speculation.

"If you listen to their advice and stop interfering, they won't pursue it, but if you don't know what's good for you."

"If you leave now, you still have a chance. With your ability, you will be a guest of honor in any country you go to. You can even choose to cooperate with the Rio authorities. Considering your background, the authorities may trust you more. Although they may not listen to your one-sided words and choose to confront Ito and the Holy See, at least you can firmly demand to save your aunt's family. However, in this way, you will stand in the open and lose your only advantage. Everything you do will be exposed. I guess you can't save this country in the end."

Xavier did not answer. He had made too many choices in this regard. This time, he would use his actions to tell his master his choice.

"Okay, then continue to go back to your aunt's house. Your presence now may prompt them to speed up their actions."

And not long after they left.

An infection broke out in the business district.

The crazy zombies started a riot in the coffee shop. Within just a few minutes, dozens of people were infected and the crowd dispersed.

But Brand was nearby and quickly arrived at the scene and suppressed the situation.

"From the surveillance footage, it appears that a man suspected to be Xavier had robbed a taxi. The driver had been killed, and the car had been parked not far from the Campbells' home. Just after Pastor Brand left the Campbells' home, he also left, picked up two passengers on the way, and drove all the way to the commercial district and abandoned the car. Not long after, the first infected person appeared, and it was confirmed that he was infected by the drug powder."

Canis felt that he had grasped the truth.

"This is clearly a threat of retaliation! He is warning us that if we dare to attack the Campbell family, he will also attack ordinary people regardless of the consequences!"

"But he has no right to negotiate. Aren't the casualties caused by voodoo enough?"

"I suggest that the Campbell family be arrested immediately. Only those who are in our hands are the real threat."

At the emergency meeting in the afternoon, it was rare for the two extraordinary people to be present at the same time, so Kanis analyzed the situation and told them his plans.

"I agree." Although Ito Makoto still felt that the man would not be Xavier, he also believed that Canis's current analysis was the most appropriate.

Brand had no objection either.

Just when the two were about to set out to arrest the criminal, news came from the scene.

There has been a widespread infection in Campbell's community!

"After this, there's not much I can do to help you. The rest of the way is up to you to decide. If I stay by your side in a dangerous situation, I will become a burden to you. I don't want to die in such a cowardly way."

"You have to develop your own independent thinking. You can't ask me about everything. My decisions may not be correct."

"Now, I'll leave it to you to deal with your aunt's family. I'll wait for you at home. If you really want to save them, try to persuade them now, otherwise it will be too late."

Fei Du left, leaving Xavier alone near Campbell's house.

Xavier also understood that if Fei Du was exposed, he would be caught in a dilemma, so this was the best choice.

"Ok?"

Xavier saw a figure appear near Campbell's house, but it disappeared as quickly as the wind.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Without caring about anything else, he ran and knocked on the Campbell's door.

A few seconds later, footsteps were heard from inside.

Xavier covered his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahem. Who are you?"

There was a question coming from inside.

"I'm here to see Solas." This was his cousin's name.

"Solas," Campbell opened the door and looked at Xavier, who had changed his appearance, with a bad look on his face. "Are you his classmate?"

"Yes, I'm here to return his things." Xavier patted his backpack.

Campbell coughed a few times, nodded, and let Xavier in.

"Solas, ahem, your classmates are here! Solas——"

Campbell called upstairs a few times, but got no response.

And what was strange was that his wife did not come out of the room to ask questions.

Of course, what's even more strange is that he actually developed an appetite for this child's classmates.

"I, I'll go upstairs and take a look."

"I'm with you!"

Xavier began to feel anxious again.

Campbell had no choice but to nod and walk ahead.

I'm so hungry. Strange, I want to bite something, it would be better if it has blood.
No, I was thinking about something. I could hear the sound of chewing in my head.
"Uncle, is there any noise in the room?" Xavier could see that the door of his cousin's room was open, while the door of the master bedroom was ajar, and coming from inside was the sound of someone eating something.

There seemed to be a unfamiliar smell wafting out.

Yes. Smell of blood?
