Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

Cold, shivering, numb.

Hachiman Hikigaya lay on the operating table, listening to the soft clatter of instruments.

Its eyes, which were still able to move, observed its surroundings.

The doctor in front of me, wearing a mask, is touching something inside my body through a layer of cold touch.

I felt a slight tremor in Xiao You, as if in response to this not-so-gentle transformation.

"This is insane. I can't believe I actually agreed to this transformation," Hachiman Hikigaya thought.

He was nothing more than a coward who was good at using words to wrap himself in a cocoon, hiding in the shell of "loneliness," watching other people's excitement, and also afraid that others would see through his own predicament.

Mercury said he could play a bad hand not too badly.

But he didn't say that every step he took with this terrible hand was fraught with difficulty, a helpless situation with no way to retreat.

The "sister" inside the sister's body, the increasingly chaotic world, and the world-ending anomaly that Mercury spoke of.

These things were like a large net, and he was unknowingly caught in it.

As his thoughts drifted, his ears suddenly twitched, and a voice entered his ears without warning.

How strong do you think he will become?

"This is...Takatsuki Sen-sensei?"

Hachiman Hikigaya remembered the voice; he and Mercury had met her before the surgery.

"Can you just let anyone into the operating room? Be more reliable, Mercury..."

The thought of complaining had barely formed in his mind when a heavy weariness washed over him like a tide.

Hachiman Hikigaya's eyelids drooped heavily, and his consciousness plunged completely into endless darkness.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Hachiman Hikigaya finally awoke from his daze and opened his eyes in confusion.

What came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling; the pungent smell of disinfectant had dissipated, and the cold, hard metal operating table beneath me was no longer there.

"How are you feeling?"

A familiar voice rang in his ears. Hachiman Hikigaya turned his head and saw Mercury sitting calmly in a chair by the bed.

The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted, and all the muscles in his body tensed up like a fully drawn bowstring!

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, his face filled with disbelief and fear as he stared intently at Mercury.

"Terrifying! Chaotic! Sacred! Like an absolute predator of nature!"

This was the first time his body, after surgery, had conveyed such a clear sense of dread to him.

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't even dare to look him in the eye; his throat tightened, and he even had to breathe carefully.

He could clearly sense the suffocating pressure emanating from Mercury.

"What happened? Did the surgery make you stupid?" Mercury asked in confusion.

His eyes were fixed on the iron bar beside the bed, which he was unconsciously twisting into a pretzel shape with his hands.

I used my left hand!

Hearing the voice, Hachiman Hikigaya snapped back to reality, swallowed hard, and said, "Right now, in my eyes, you are completely a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex."

"Hmph~ Such a low rating?" Mercury chuckled, looking at him with interest. "Let's see how your body feels now."

He had always known that parasites had good perception, but he never expected that after the modification, they would become so powerful.

"good……"

Hachiman Hikigaya responded, looking at the bed railing he had twisted into a pretzel. He tried to move his fingers, and instead of the stiffness and stinging he had expected, he felt a strange sense of power.

It looks like he could kill a bull with one punch.

Moreover, their perception abilities are terrifyingly strong.

He could even clearly see the trajectory of the wings of the birds flying past the window.

"The surgery... was successful?" Hachiman Hikigaya smirked and sat up.

Just as he was thinking this, the door to the ward was pushed open.

Yoshimura Eto walked in slowly and immediately saw Hikigaya Hachiman awake. Her gaze then fell on the bed rail that had been twisted into a pretzel, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"Oh my, I didn't expect her to actually wake up." She said softly, as if she were commenting on a work of art that had unexpectedly survived.

"It seems the doctor's skills are indeed excellent; the first modification was so perfect."

Hachiman Hikigaya's nerves tensed instantly. His senses, amplified dozens of times after the modification, allowed him to clearly perceive the hidden danger emanating from the other party.

It was a sense of oppression that blended madness and elegance.

In his perception, the smell of blood on this guy was even stronger than that of Mercury.

"Come on, let's test your physical strength." Yoshimura Eto completely ignored Hikigaya Hachiman's wariness, tilted his head, and gestured for him to come over.

Hachiman Hikigaya glanced at Mercury instinctively, and only after seeing him nod did he get up and follow him.

……

Mercury was the only one left in the ward.

The essence of this surgery is to inject RC cells, which are unique to ghouls, into "Megami's" body, enabling him to transform from an ordinary parasite into a kagune parasite.

Then, through special means, the cellular metabolism of the parasite is synchronized to the host's whole body, achieving a deep binding between the symbiote and the physical body—this is the first step towards becoming "non-human".

The most crucial step is locking the RC cells onto one arm.

Only parasites can do that.

There's no need to experience the side effects of half-ghouls eating people, because Migi's nutrition depends on the host.

Just as he was thinking about these things, Kanou Akihiro walked in and respectfully said, "Lord Mercury, the replication was unsuccessful; the second operation failed."

"As expected." Mercury's tone was completely calm.

This seemingly smooth renovation actually harbored extremely high risks.

The protagonist's halo is terrifyingly powerful.
