Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

The man covered in a dark green hood was holding a dim candle and walking in this narrow space that would make anyone vomit.

"It only lasted ten minutes?... The quality of this batch of materials is surprisingly poor."

He looked at the records in his hands with an unhappy expression.

"It's always like this. That jerk Quintus uses his position as archbishop to wantonly occupy the church's resources, and his so-called experiments are nothing more than crude actions like a primitive man cracking a walnut!"

“They don’t understand the significance of research at all!”

"After all, it's a mistake that a madman who indulges himself in unrealistic fantasies all day long can become an archbishop!"

He growled, as if he wanted to let out all the emotions buried in his heart.

“Archbishop Quintus may have some problems, but his loyalty to the church and his faith is real.”

"Bishop Leco, if your faith is pure enough, I'm sure you will surpass Archbishop Quintus sooner or later."

The follower beside him responded calmly.

"....Heh, your faith is pure."

Lei Ke glanced at the believer beside him and said nothing more.

The Deep Sea Church is full of lunatics.

I am different from them. The only reason I joined them is because I need to study this special creature called Haisi.

In fact, the fact that he could become a bishop of a district without showing any so-called faith at all showed that his research was successful enough.

But it's obvious that some people don't want to continue to be successful.

The church regarded Hai Si as a god, but he tried to use Hai Si to forge humans into gods.

"Tsk."

Bishop Leco turned around and looked at the bottomless tunnel behind him.

"How many experimental subjects have been added recently?"

"There were thirty people in total, twenty of whom were transferred to the cathedral where Archbishop Quintus and 'Mr.' were staying."

"Oh, only ten are left? That's quite a high standard. How many of these people don't have mineralogy?"

"No."

"Unfortunately, the remaining ten people are almost all infected."

"*Colombian swear*, huh—never mind, send them to the lab and continue our experiment a little later."

"By the way, Bishop Leco, a letter from the Archbishop has arrived for you, along with a box."

"archbishop?"

"Which archbishop?"

"The messenger didn't say it, but the emblem the other party showed was indeed the style of the archbishop."

Leko was stunned. There were four great bishops in the church. Although that gentleman was on the same level as himself, he was also a sea-born fanatic and had never liked him very much.

Needless to say, Quintus barely even looked at each other.

As for Cicero, the old man has disappeared for a long time. Even if he wants to show up, he will not contact me first.

.....Amaya?

He suddenly remembered the Liberian woman he saw in the crowd when the believers gathered together.

She was like an obsidian that occasionally flickered with light, appearing so peaceful and calm in a church filled with crazy people.

However, there is no intersection between me and the other party.

Moreover, she is able to sit on the position of one of the four great bishops, which means she is the same type of person as those sea-lined fanatics.

Theoretically, he shouldn't have any interest in me.

Thinking along the way, Bishop Leco walked out of the cellar and looked at the church that was unattended and covered in dust.

He looked up, and the glaring sunlight almost made him lose his vision and fall to the ground.

Damn, have we been doing experiments underground for too long?

He put his clothes in order, walked to the storage room, and saw the items the other party had sent him at a glance.

A letter and a box.

After opening the envelope, the elegant handwriting on the paper confirmed Bishop Leco's guess.

This is indeed the letter from Archbishop Amaya.

"Deep Sea Hunter... Oh, those Agor's cyborgs. Tsk, if she were in my hands, I would have gotten decent experimental results long ago, instead of pouring Originium fluid into her body like a sadist."

Suppressing his inner dissatisfaction, Lei Ke continued reading.

"In fact, the deep-sea hunter is not pure, although this statement itself is not quite true, after all, they are the enhanced product of the mixture of humans and sea heirs."

"But I found a third existence within this hunter."

'Considering that the other two bishops have great malice towards the Deep Sea Hunter, if they discovered that this hunter had another creature mixed in his body, I'm sure the world would be in chaos.

Sometimes, having too much faith is not a good thing.'

'For this reason, I falsified the report on her blood and removed those unusual biological behaviors.'

'At the same time, I have also collected some blood samples. I hope that as a biologist you can conduct some objective analysis and experiments.'

"However, what is unusual is that there is a huge gap between the samples before and after."

'The earliest sample remained active for a period of time after being separated from the body, but the most recently obtained blood quickly dissipated in just a few seconds once separated from the body, turning into a withered red dust-like substance.'

"Don't worry about Archbishop Quintus and the others. They won't bother you for the time being, and they don't need you to provide experimental subjects. So, I hope someone can analyze what kind of existence this third creature is as soon as possible."

"Interesting, a third creature? Has Bishop Amaya finally gone mad? How is it possible that a creature can coexist with Hai Si in the same host?"

Bishop Leco opened the box with some disdain and took out two bottles.

Sure enough, one of them was bright red, no different from normal blood, while the other was just dried red powder.

He was stunned and looked at the bottle of blood.

It's so bright, it looks like it just left the human body.

It would take the messenger at least a day to get here, and the blood should have turned black and thicker.

Why.....

and...

He glanced at the label.

It’s been about a month now.

This is what a month looks like?

Is Amaya the kind of person who would amuse herself when she is bored?

Obviously, no.

After thinking for a moment, Lei Ke realized that the thing in front of him might really be some special life form.

He picked up the two bottles and rushed back to his laboratory.

Half an hour later——

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!!!"

"What kind of blood is this???"

Sitting in front of rows of precision instruments, Lecco took off his church robe and changed back into his familiar white coat.

The blood before my eyes could no longer be described as abnormal, it simply shouldn't be called blood!!!

Damn, the mother of this thing is in the hands of Quintus and his gang?

Amaya managed to cover up this anomaly?

How could she cover up something so crazy?

How did those idiots conduct their experiments? Or did they just eat the sea urchins alive and pump Originium fluid into hunters?

The more Lei Ke watched, the more shocked he became. The existence of Hai Si had shattered his worldview when he first saw these creatures.

That time, he abandoned his position and status in Columbia Laboratory without hesitation and reincarnated into the Deep Sea Church.

And now, the new concept established by studying Hai Si was directly crushed by the pool of blood in front of him.

“Ha…ha….Ahahahahaha!! This…this is the new world!”

"Kaiji... Oh my god, there is absolutely no comparison. This is the true ultimate creature!!!"

"Perfect! It's simply God's creation!!!"

Lei Ke's pupils reflected madness, and he realized that he was now touching upon a lofty path that ordinary people could not even comprehend!

(ps: Laurentina's blood remains active because it was just assimilated and not fully mature, so the blood can still become an independent individual after leaving the body.)

(To put it bluntly, if you draw too early, your body won't have time to take care of it, so it will naturally take away some of the nutrients it needs to sustain itself.)

(ps: There is no need to worry about the protagonist and Shark having problems with this part of the blood. I am not good at writing that type of story. I can only write stories full of killing and killing.)

(As for why this character and plot exist... please! It is a tradition for works like The Thing to have a crazy scientist who studies mutations and commits suicide!!)

(But there are two more chapters coming today....wait a moment! Soon...probably.)

Chapter 12, Let’s go! Find the white-haired beautiful girl!

pat.

The last piece of firewood was thrown by the tentacles into the pile of corpses in front of it.

The dark dungeon was now filled with ragged deep-sea cultists and those poor experimental subjects with sea limbs.

Laurentina stood at the entrance, looking at the pile of corpses below, holding an unlit torch in her hand.

[......Feel sorry.]

The left pupil opened on the collar of Laurentina's clothes, and looked at the pile of corpses inside with some regret.

"No need to apologize. Everyone has times when they are unable to do things. Besides, even if you woke up a month earlier, it wouldn't change anything."

[It’s just that I’m still not used to facing this kind of thing all of a sudden.]

"Yeah."

Laurentina lowered her head and looked at Zuojian's somewhat lost eyes.

"...When I first became a deep-sea hunter, I saw the mess on the ground after the mission. The sculpture room and studio that were once full of artistic atmosphere became ruins."

"The remains of the plaster were dyed a disgusting red and blue by the blood of Hai Si and others. The bodies of the dead companions and the bodies of ordinary people who were not rescued in time were like garbage.

Just like garbage, it is thrown on the roadside casually. "

"However, when I doubted myself, Swordfish... um, one of my captains, told me that although I couldn't save others at the moment, at least this hunt could reduce tragedies in the future."

After Laurentina finished speaking, the tips of her left middle and index fingers turned into a steel-like structure.

She snapped her fingers, and a few sparks struck out like flint, lighting the torch in her hand.

Wow.

Burning torches were thrown into the wood-filled crypt, setting the bodies ablaze.

After doing this, Laurentina patted the tentacles around her.

"At least you saved someone, didn't you~"

She pointed at herself and replied with a smile.

Looking at the girl's comforting smile, Zuo Jian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the girl in front of him might have experienced something even more cruel than himself.

[Laurentina...you...]

Zuo Jian looked at her, with complex emotions flickering in his pupils.

After a moment, he answered slowly.

[You actually don’t know how to comfort people at all. I guess your captain must be having a hard time…]
