Madam, I like you.

　Kimishima Kana weakly grabbed Mo Yankong's right hand, opened her eyes a little, and vaguely saw Mo Yankong's figure through the blurred vision.

　At this moment, she truly realized what kind of monster Mo Yankong was!

　After confirming that the girl's body had almost reached its limit, Mo Yankong released his right hand that was pinching Kimishima Kana's neck, hugged her unconscious body, and nodded to the researchers outside who were recording the data.

　At the end of the experiment, Mo Yankong was quite satisfied with the data. The strongest brainwave wavelength that Kimishima Kana could emit was almost the same as that of Parasyte.

　The most important thing is that Kimishima Kana's ability can be trained and evolved.

　According to this world's worldview, she has the potential to go to "heaven".

　-

　Soon, a researcher in a white coat brought a piece of data to Mo Yankong.

　"Minister, this is the genetic profile we obtained after comparing the girl's symbiont (Izumi Shinichi) and the parasitic spore tissue, as well as the EEG wavelength test we just conducted. We came to a surprising conclusion."

　Mo Yankong wasn't surprised at all and continued calmly, "This isn't the first time a parasitic beast has appeared in this world."

　"Yes, and both she and the murderer are very likely descendants of similar creatures. The serial killer's genetic profile is more inclined towards parasites than the girl's."

　"That's good to have this result. How's the genetic enhancement drug going?"

　"We've already produced three samples. The cell fusion phenomenon of the symbiont (Izumi Shinichi) has given us a lot of inspiration. The specific effects are still unclear, but one thing is certain: organisms that use these genetic enhancement agents will lose their fertility."

　"Send a bottle of sample to my office for further research. If there are no other side effects, prioritize using these gene enhancers on the members of the anti-parasitic beast special operations team. Especially those who lost limbs in combat."

　The gene-enhancing drug developed using parasitic cells can cure all diseases and regenerate severed limbs. After injection of the gene-enhancing drug, the physical fitness can at least reach the level of Izumi Shinichi who merged with Mickey.

　But producing three bottles of genetic enhancement potion requires at least one-third of the parasitic cells of a parasitic beast.

　"clear."

　-

　Kimishima Kana woke up from a coma, her head still feeling groggy from lack of oxygen. Her blurry vision first caught sight of Mo Yankong, who was sitting by the bed reading a book. The curtains were drawn, and the faint light coming through the cracks slightly illuminated Mo Yankong's figure. He looked at the research report in his hand with a cold and focused expression.

　At that moment, Kimishima Kana could only feel a cold fear, the abnormality of the inhuman creature in front of her in this dark corner of the world.

　"How does it feel? The feeling of reaching 'heaven' in your spirit."

　Hearing Mo Yankong's voice, Kimishima Kana's shoulders trembled slightly. She couldn't help but touch her neck. She seemed to still feel the suffocating feeling of being tightly strangled and unable to breathe. She bit her lower lip and asked in a trembling voice, "Do you really want to kill me?"

　"Human brainwaves, or spirits, fluctuate only during times of intense emotion. I believe the survival instinct unleashed when faced with despair is a more intense brainwave than any other emotion. This survival instinct can also counter external threats, transforming into hostility or even murderous intent."

　Kimishima Kana lowered her head and remained silent. She grabbed the pen holder on the table and threw it at Mo Yankong's head. Her eyes were red and tears were brewing. She was obviously trying hard to suppress her excitement.

　The miscellaneous items in the pen holder clattered to the ground, but Mo Yankong remained calm throughout: "You must remember the feeling just now. This isn't a request, nor is it a job. It's your responsibility as a human being."

　“Why...why me?”

　"Kana, you seem to have misunderstood. I only want to utilize your abilities. But on the other hand, we are also providing you with a safe haven. The unique brainwaves you emit will be mistaken by parasitic beasts as their own. If they discover your presence, the first thing they will do is eliminate you. You pose a greater threat to them than a fully armed army because you can tear through their human disguise."

　After a pause, Mo Yankong gave a vivid example to convince the girl: "You know what Izumi Shinichi went through. You are not just a bystander in this matter. Today's research is to make you understand this truth."

　Kimishima Kana wiped away her tears and did not answer.

　Chapter 68: Meeting Again

　The plan entered the formal implementation stage. Mo Yankong certainly had no time to go to school. This was also the case with Izumi Shinichi and Kimishima Kana.

　In movies or animations, the world is about to be destroyed, but the protagonist still insists on going to school and being affectionate with the Crystal Palace. This is what Mo Yankong finds most difficult to understand.

　For the next few weeks, the anti-parasyte task force would be deployed daily, divided into three teams. The second team would consist of ordinary human elites, with the serial killer Urakami acting as a Parasyte radar, responsible for clearing out ordinary Parasytes. If they encountered any difficult situations, they could immediately request assistance from headquarters.

　At this time, the third special operations team appeared, whose members were Shinichi Izumi and several humans who had been injected with genetic enhancement drugs.

　Since Izumi Shinichi can't handle it again and again, the First Special Operations Team's members, Dokujima Yako and Kimijima Kana, will take the stage.

　Of course, it doesn't mean that Dokujima Yajima will only appear when the situation is unresolved. The three teams are constantly clearing out the large number of parasitic beasts pouring into the city.

　Over the past few weeks, the Takagi Institute of Biology has recovered no less than a hundred samples of parasitic beast corpses, and new breakthroughs in parasitic beast research are made almost every day.

　The number of parasitic beasts being cleared is increasing, and the actual efficiency is getting lower and lower. After the initial parasitic period, it is impossible to screen them through people who have direct contact with the deceased. The parasitic beast special operations team basically relies on several parasitic beast radar searches.

　Serial killer Urakami has the weakest perception ability and needs to see the parasite up close to be able to identify it. The second is Kimishima Kana, whose perception range is about two hundred meters. The best is of course Mickey, who can sense the location of the parasite within a radius of about five hundred meters.

　However, both Kimishima Kana and Mickey were capable of sensing each other while also being sensed by the other. The reason they were able to eliminate so many parasites was entirely because the number of parasites pouring into Higashifukuyama City was increasing, and they were gradually developing a certain pattern and organization, becoming more cunning and more difficult to deal with.

　The people of Dongfushan City were in a panic. Everyone knew that there were a large number of murderers appearing in this city at night. It was no longer uncommon to find dismembered bodies in the alleys. Every day there were news reports of new bodies being found and people missing.

　The bustling commercial streets became deserted at night. All schools canceled club activities and required students to go home before 5 pm.

　Urban legends about parasitic beasts began to spread on the Internet and among young people. Some people were panic-stricken, some were curious, and even more so, some were afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

　-

　Mo Yankong, who was staying at the research institute and constantly developing his physical abilities, unexpectedly received a call from the parasitic beast Tamiya Yoshiko one day.

　"Meet?"

　Mo Yankong raised his eyebrows. Although he and Tamiya Yoshiko had the same goal, their positions were completely different. The parasitic beast was always on the passive side.

　A cold and indifferent female voice came from the other end of the line: "Yes, I think we need to meet now. The situation with the Parasyte Organization is a little out of my control. And we both need to exchange some research intelligence."

　In the past few weeks, Mo Yankong and Tamiya Yoshiko have met several times and exchanged some intelligence information about parasitic beasts.

　"time and location."

　"12 AM, under the statue in Central Park."

　-

　Late at night, in a quiet park, Mo Yankong came to the statue in Central Park with all his documents and saw that Tamiya Yoshiko had already been sitting on a bench with her eyes closed, waiting for him. The surroundings were so quiet that even the insects could sense the abnormality between the two and stopped chirping.

　Mo Yankong stared at Tamiya Ryoko's bulging belly and asked calmly, "Are you really planning on giving birth to him? Even if you use a human body, you're still just a parasite. The child you give birth to will have nothing to do with you."

　Tamiya Yoshiko touched her stomach and said calmly, "Of course, this is important research material. It can also serve as backup rations in times of crisis."

　Mo Yankong had no doubt whether this was a joke or not. This was the normal thinking pattern of a parasitic beast.

　"Recently, there have been more and more cases of parasitic beasts eating people. My subordinates have reported that many parasitic beasts have even learned to deal with regular troops armed with firearms."

　Tamiya Ryoko raised the corner of her mouth and mocked mercilessly: "You are a being that feeds on humans and parasites. You are not showing mercy to humans, are you?"

　"A little." Mo Yankong shrugged and did not deny that he was still a pillar of the motherland who was influenced by socialism before he became a vampire.

　Tamiya Yoshiko looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, her calm tone filled with indescribable complex emotions: "Then who will pity us parasites? We have life, wisdom, and the ability to feel pain. In this unfair war, we are inherently weak and doomed to perish... But you, what are you going to do next? Setting such a perfect trap?"

　"what?"

　Tamiya Yoshiko stared at Mo Yankong's profile. "Don't play dumb. You didn't take action against the parasitic beasts that preyed on humans in the 'canteen.' A large number of them came to Higashifukuyama City because they knew about the 'canteen.' And then you used this method to indirectly drive them to my side. The organization has been restless recently, and many of the parasitic beasts that have been slaughtering people are those who disobeyed my orders and acted on their own."

　"Are you saying that you can no longer control the Parasyte organization you founded?"

　Tamiya Ryoko nodded and said slowly: "I don't deny this. Many of them are already dissatisfied with my conservative approach. They are probably planning to find a time to get rid of me, the parasite.

　We are heretics among beasts. We parasitic beasts are not like humans. We have no emotions, no clear understanding of so-called discipline, and we don't understand the relationship between superiors and subordinates. "

　Mo Yankong sat down and said, "I'm not in a hurry. How is the research on the fusion parasitic beast going?"

　Speaking of fused parasites, Tamiya Yoshiko's expression grew serious. "Just as you said, even if the parasitic container causes some differences, they can gradually adapt after fusion. The fused form's abilities and intelligence are several times greater than those of ordinary parasites. It's just that they're not good at thinking beyond eating. So, so far, they've been following my orders. The problem is their appetite. They need to eat several times a day, and there's no prey around several cafeterias."

　Mo Yankong smiled and said, "That's why you destroyed the Yamamoto Group."

　"you know?"

　"The Yamamoto Group, the city's largest gang with hundreds of members, was attacked, resulting in 27 deaths and 18 missing. This news was broadcast on every TV channel the day before yesterday. This is the largest case ever seen in the history of Higashifukuyama City, so the task of investigating it naturally fell to us."

　Chapter 69: Encirclement and Suppression

　"It was an experiment to test how far a group of armed humans could go against parasites."

　Tamiya Ryoko gave Mo Yankong a deep look, then took out a USB drive from her bag and handed it to him: "Then, this USB drive contains all my information about the fusion parasite."

　Mo Yankong also handed her the research materials in the file bag in his hand and joked, "I didn't expect that parasitic beasts have also learned to use modern technology. These are the genetic research data on parasitic beasts from the Gaomu Research Institute."

　This research document from the Takagi Research Institute did not record any important content. It was just a comparison table of the genetic profiles of Kimishima Kana and Urakami, and the conjecture that this was not the first time that parasitic organisms appeared on Earth. These data were useless to Mo Yankong, but they were the answers that Tamiya Yoshiko wanted to know the most.

　What is a parasite? Who created it? What is the purpose of a parasite that cannot reproduce?

　After exchanging information and chatting for a while, Mo Yankong's face suddenly stiffened. He frowned and asked, "Who's on your side?"

　There are multiple parasitic beasts approaching here in a surrounding manner, at least eight in number. It is the first time that Mo Yankong has encountered so many parasitic beasts acting together. Just now, Tamiya Yoshiko said that parasitic beasts are just a group of thinking insects, without rules or discipline. The fact that they can act together means that a major event has occurred that can make the parasitic beasts reach a consensus.

　Tamiya Yoshiko shook her head and sneered, "Judging from the brainwave wavelength, it is indeed a parasite within the organization. But as I said just now, as the number of members increased, I have lost control of this organization."

　Mo Yankong looked at her meaningfully from the corner of his eyes: "You don't know anything about this?"

　Tamiya Yoshiko crossed her arms and said calmly, "It was just a coincidence of timing."

　It was indeed a coincidence of timing. This time, the encirclement and suppression of the parasitic beasts was originally centered around Yoshiko Tamiya. Yoshiko Tamiya's conservative approach had long caused dissatisfaction in the parasitic beast organization she founded. Yoshiko Tamiya, a parasitic heretic, possessed absolute rationality while also possessing human intellect and sensibility. Of course, she could feel the vague murderous intent of her own kind towards her.

　This opportunity happened to be in her control. She could not control the entire situation but she could guide her own kind. For example, when she was talking on the phone with Mo Yankong, she deliberately let a parasitic beast that intended to eliminate her hear it.

　While the parasitic beasts as a whole are relatively vulnerable to humans as a whole, they are quite adept at wiping out individual humans. Tamiya Yoshiko wanted to see if Mo Yankong had the strength to fight against the parasitic beasts as a whole. If Mo Yankong died here, there would be no need to continue this experiment.

　All along, Tamiya Yoshiko herself was conflicted. Everything she did was for the future of Parasyte. But she wasn't sure about Mo Yankong's influence on the plan. Since the beginning, she had never taken the initiative. What if the Parasyte was completely wiped out, resulting in nothing but a futile outcome? Then all her actions would be nothing more than slaughtering her own kind.

　She left the conflicting decision to her kind, in the most brutal and simple way. Mo Yankong could either kill these parasitic beasts here, or be killed by them, following the iron rule of the survival of the fittest in nature.

　Although the parasitic beasts originally targeted her, the relationship between Tamiya Yoshiko, the heretic among the parasitic beasts, and the natural enemies of the parasitic beasts is obvious at a glance. The parasitic beasts will at least eliminate Mo Yankong before attacking her.

　If Mo Yankong died, she would have the confidence to escape from the hands of eight of her kind. If Mo Yankong killed these eight parasitic beasts, it would be beneficial to her current situation in every way.

　Combining all of this with the plot of the original work, Mo Yankong figured it out with just a little thought.

　"Sure enough, the parasitic beast Tamiya Yoshiko should not be underestimated. Her combat power may not be as good as that of the fused parasitic beast, but she has a glorious record of using tactics to kill three of her kind." Mo Yankong said to himself in his heart that the difference in combat power between individual parasitic beasts is very small. The fact that she was able to kill three parasitic beasts shows how sophisticated this woman's methods are.

　In the empty park, eight figures approached from different directions, surrounding Mo Yankong and Tamiya Yoshiko at a distance of more than ten meters. Among them were young working women, an old man with a cane, and a German Shepherd. The expression of each parasitic beast was stiff and indifferent, and their eyes turned in different directions contrary to the human body structure, examining Mo Yankong.

　"What? I just wanted to clean up

　"Drop Tamiya Yoshiko, an unexpected creature has appeared, a human? No, a fellow creature? Not really, a cold-blooded animal? Not quite, I can't understand it."

　"Come to think of it, I've heard of the 'Parasitic Killer', our natural enemy."

　"That's ridiculous! We are the most powerful creatures in the world. There is no way we have any natural enemies!"

　"Three weeks ago, a parasitic beast escaped from an unknown creature. It called that creature the Parasite Killer. Although it emitted similar wavelengths to that creature, it had no body temperature or heartbeat. It was neither human nor parasitic. I originally thought it was just nonsense, but I never expected to see such a creature."

　"Don't be careless!"

　"Tamiya Yoshiko met with the Parasyte Killer. What are you planning?"

　"Whatever the plan is, it's definitely not good for us. We need to eliminate Tamiya Yoshiko and the Parasyte Killer here."

　"Seconded."

　The parasitic beasts reached a consensus, and without further ado, their heads were cut apart, like long strips of peeled apple skin that turned into tentacles, with the muscles at the ends flashing with sharp, cold light.

　Mo Yankong sat on a bench, folded his arms, and looked around at the parasitic beasts around him. He said calmly, "Oh—all of them at once. How terrifying."

　"Snapped."

　Mo Yankong snapped his fingers crisply, and the parasitic beast in front of Mo Yankong shook violently. The parasitic tentacles opened their eyes and looked at the fist-sized hole in their chest in disbelief. The blood and white shirt were all on it, and the body of the parasitic beast fell straight backwards.

　"There's... an ambush."

　The remaining parasites all took a few steps back, hiding in the shadows of the trees. One of them calmly analyzed, "The bullet came from the southeast. Judging from the wound, it must have been fired from a large-caliber sniper rifle, firing from top to bottom."

　"Impossible! The nearest building is two thousand meters away. Human eyes can't see things that far away at night."

　The professional woman in a white-collar suit cut off her right hand with the tentacle blade and said to the parasitic beast corpse on the ground: "There is no other way, come to me."

　The parasitic tissue squirmed within the fallen corpse. A mass of muscle entered the white-collar woman's right hand and fused with her severed arm. It then began to devour the arm on the ground, muttering, "You were careless for a moment. Next, I'll help you block the bullets. Together, we can eliminate the Parasyte Killer and Tamiya Yoshiko."

　The parasitic beast that became the right hand stretched out its two arms, transforming into sharp blades.

　Author's message:

　I accidentally set the time back one day.

　Luckily I discovered it before the update.

　Ask for collection!

　Ask for a blade!

　Chapter 70: Too high!

　In the distance, Izumi Shinichi stood on the edge of the top floor of a building, the five fingers of his right hand twisting abnormally like an antenna. Mickey's voice rang out: "The wind direction is 3 o'clock, and the wind speed is 0.4 meters per second. You can shoot normally."

　A sniper crawled on the ground, observing the situation in Central Park through his scope. He reported, "One, two, three, I can see six here. I can't make out their specific appearances, but they are characterized as a dog, an elderly person, a police officer, a convenience store worker, and a female office worker."

　The voice of a sniper waiting in another building rang out from Izumi Shinichi's wireless headset: "Your view is relatively open, but I'm blocked by a large area of ​​trees and can't see anything."

　Another voice rang out: "I can see three here, one of them is also a dog, the rest are the man in the vest and the housewife."
