Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

He lost interest in wandering around outside and rushed home to confirm something.

The stray dog, cut to pieces by a sharp weapon and covered in bite marks, reminded Kazama of an anime he had just finished watching a month ago.

After closing the study door, Kazama turned on his computer and searched for the anime "Parasyte" online.

Like Cardcaptor Sakura, Parasyte is a manga adaptation based on a previous manga.

The story's background is roughly as follows: One day, many spores appeared in the Earth's sky. The larvae that emerged from them invaded the body, targeting the brain. After parasitizing, they assimilated with the brain cells and took control of this "dead body." They can freely transform and hunt down their own kind.

However, parasitism is not 100% successful; accidents can happen.

For example, the attempt to parasitize the protagonist, Shinichi Izumi, failed, and it was forced to parasitize Shinichi Izumi's right hand.

The story of Parasyte is about Shinichi Izumi, an ordinary high school student, and the parasitic creature that lives inside him and is assimilated with his right hand.

"As for the anime version, if I remember correctly, it's the first episode."

Kazama Yu opened the first episode of the Parasyte anime through a webpage.

He dragged the progress bar directly to the second half.

At this moment, Shinichi Izumi, the protagonist of the anime, has already started communicating with 'Little Miki', which is parasitizing his right hand, and is racking his brains for a solution.

But at that moment, Xiao You suddenly sensed the presence of his kind.

It located its kind and led Shinichi Izumi there.

In the dark alley, Shinichi Izumi and Migi encountered another parasitic creature for the first time.

It was a dog that was cannibalizing its own kind.

The dog's head had been transformed into a flower-like bloom, covered with sharp, barbed mouthparts.

Like Migi, it is an isolated case of parasitism failure, but while Migi parasitized the wrong part of the body, this parasite directly parasitized the wrong species.

After confirming that his memory was correct, Kazama closed the page, took out his phone, and opened the app that was the source of the anomaly and allowed him to extract items from the anime into reality.

Upon arriving at his familiar watchlist, Kazama didn't click on "Cardcaptor Sakura" at the top, but instead opened "Parasyte," which was in the second row.

In the same first episode, the progress bar is also dragged to the point where Migi first senses signs of the existence of his kind and takes Shinichi Izumi there.

Kazama held his breath, watching the story unfold on the screen.

But it seems to confirm one of Murphy's Laws: what you fear most is what will happen.

In the scene, just as Shinichi Izumi was about to turn into the alley, Migi suddenly spoke up:

"The signal has disappeared..."

The story has changed compared to the original work.

Shinichi Izumi also arrived at the outside of the alley and looked in from the outside.

But there was no sign of any living creature, only a pile of corpses.

The canine parasite that was supposed to encounter and kill Shinichi Izumi here has vanished into thin air.

After receiving confirmation, Kazama closed the application, sat down in his chair, and took a deep breath.

The worst has happened.

Kazama was certain that he had not used this ability in the past two weeks.

If the uniqueness and binding nature of this superpower are fixed, then there is only one explanation for the current situation:

The superpower is not fully controllable; it can autonomously materialize things from the anime series on the watchlist into reality!

If that's the case, then this superpower isn't some dubious cheat code, but rather a ticking time bomb.

It's important to understand that in those extraordinary works, there are beings or objects capable of easily destroying civilizations.

"calm..."

Kazama took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

"Panicing now will not help; we should analyze the situation and the overall picture."

"First of all, this uncontrolled manifestation should be subject to limitations."

"Otherwise, the world would have been in complete chaos long ago. It's impossible for it to be so quiet, with not a single word leaking out."

“Uncontrolled manifestation should be limited in terms of quantity, frequency, and object.”

"First, in terms of the objects, intelligent beings can be manifested, but it is not yet certain whether extraordinary beings can be manifested."

"Furthermore, whether non-biological special objects can materialize is still another matter."

"As for the quantity and frequency..."

Kazama put down his pen and rubbed his temples.

"We still don't have enough intelligence to deduce much useful information."

"The best approach now is to compare all the anime series on the watchlist in the game with their original versions."

"Find the differences."

However, this method still has two problems.

First of all, if it were purely manual, and if we were to examine the details of the story closely, with his... at most adding a Cerberus, it would be a huge undertaking to compare all of those dozen or so anime series one by one.

It's not that it's impossible, it just takes a lot of time.

In this situation, time is the most precious thing.

In addition, due to the influence of materialization, some anime series have deviated from their original storylines.

For example, in *Cardcaptor Sakura*, after the Clow Cards, arguably the most fundamental element of the entire series, were materialized into reality, Sakura, having lost the Clow Cards, became an ordinary little girl. She spends her days playing photography and cosplay with Tomoyo Daidouji.

In Parasyte, the canine parasite may seem like an insignificant supporting character who could be killed off in a minute, but it had a huge impact on Shinichi Izumi and Migi at the time.

It was this canine parasite that made Migi understand the true nature of her own existence, and indirectly prevented Shinichi Izumi from going to the police to confess everything.

A butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest of South America can cause a tornado in Texas, the land of the Golden Eagles, two weeks later.

Due to the butterfly effect, the originally established storyline of an anime series can become uncertain.

This change is also why Kazama Yuu rejects the idea of ​​a brain in a vat, believing that the story should correspond to a real world.

The comparison method has many drawbacks and is considered a foolish approach, but it is indeed the only effective method at present.

However, Kazama absolutely cannot tolerate conditions that consume a lot of time when implementing this method.

Also... regarding the known canine parasite that has materialized into reality and is now beyond our control, that must also be dealt with.

In this situation, there are only two feasible approaches.

"The first thing is to hand it over to the authorities and expose everything."

Because it can be proven, there's no need to be treated like a madman.

If the authorities were to become aware of this matter, the Chinese state apparatus, once in operation, would be able to resolve many troublesome issues.

However, doing so would make Kazama's future completely uncertain.

After all, during the last test, Kazama discovered that this ability seemed to be bound to him.

The method to break the bondage is still unknown, and now that he has obtained the Clow Cards and possesses extraordinary abilities, it's hard to say what his situation will be if he reports it to the authorities.

"The second one will still be resolved by myself."

"But in that case, we would need even stronger capabilities and support."

Coincidentally, Kazama can do that too.

The list of anime series featuring superpowers contains over a dozen titles that offer numerous tools that can help Kazama break through his predicament.

However, in doing so, he would inevitably become more and more entangled with this superpower.

After a long pause, Kazama let out a soft breath, having made his decision.

Chapter Ten: The Fairy Door and the Book of Wisdom

Everyone has selfish desires. Kazama thinks he's a good person, but definitely not a saint.

The first option had too many uncertainties for him and could only be considered as a backup.

Kazama ultimately decided to choose the second option, and was willing to use the unknown ability of embracing to achieve this.

Perhaps his previous thinking was wrong.

It's certainly not wrong to avoid making mistakes and to approach things with a steady mindset, but there's another saying:

"If you do not take what Heaven gives you, you will suffer the consequences; if you do not welcome the opportune moment, you will suffer the calamity."

In reality, many times, there is simply no choice.

Kazama turned on his phone, returned to his watchlist, and began browsing and thinking.

Half an hour later, Kazama walked out of the study.

At this moment, Cerberus seemed to sense something and put down the controller, turning around to look.

He sensed something unusual.

That was an unfamiliar magical aura.

Kerberos looked at Kazama, but his gaze was fixed on the two books that Kazama was tucking under his arm.

The magical aura comes from these two books.

Clearly, this is not an ordinary book, but a magical artifact with extraordinary power.

Cerberus didn't ask what Kazama was holding, but instead asked very seriously:

"what happens?"

Kazama's current magical skill is insufficient to create grimoires. Therefore, the origin of these two grimoires is quite obvious.

The superpower originates from Kazama, materialized from a certain story world.

Having spent half a month with Kazama, neither a long nor a short time, Cerberus has gained a clearer understanding of his master.

Very rational and calm.

But beneath this tranquility lies a pursuit of the unknown.
