In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

Hikigaya hung up the phone and closed the glass door of the phone booth while explaining his actions to Kuroki and the others. "Of course, even if the mayor really isn't a parasite, saying this will attract more attention from the police. After all, even a mayor was replaced by a monster without anyone noticing. They're definitely going to..."

"Bringing in the police as help to clean up the parasitic beasts in the city hall? That's a good idea."

Kuroki Gensai commented in a normal tone, "Unfortunately, it may be a little too late."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Hikigaya touched his head in confusion. He didn't quite understand what Uncle Kuroki meant.

Yes, he knew that this major decision of "mobilizing police forces and even the army to encircle the city hall" overlapped with bureaucracy, and the people at the top would probably hold meetings and haggle for who knows how long.

But it seems like there's no time limit for completing this mission...

But soon, Hikigaya understood what Kuroki Gensai meant.

……

……

the next morning.

Higashifukuyama City Hall, front lobby.

Don't be fooled by Kuroki Gensai's serious and stern face and the unkind way he speaks, he is actually a person who cares about the younger generation.

This is the case with Hikigaya for example. If he wanted to, there would be no scene of Hikigaya luring Parasyte, and he could handle everything by himself.

But since Hikigaya has that intention, he is also willing to give the young man a chance to gain experience, but unfortunately...

"KouKou~"

Kuroki Gensai knocked on the desk with his knuckles and asked indifferently, "Hello, I'm looking for Mayor Hirokawa. Is he here?"

"Okay, hold on a minute, I need to contact the office."

An ordinary-looking office lady with short black hair sitting at the front desk couldn't help but look up at the tall and heavy figure in front of her. She saw that he had his left hand in the pocket of his black windbreaker, and he exuded an imposing aura that was not that of an ordinary person.

She didn't dare to neglect it, and quickly picked up the landline phone to dial out. After a few whispered words, she put the phone back and replied: "Hello, sir, Mr. Guangchuan is in the office."

Just when the girl at the front desk wanted to ask whether this tall gentleman had an appointment or what his identity was so that she could ask the mayor if he wanted to meet him, she suddenly heard Hei Mu's indifferent voice again.

"sorry to bother you."

"Need not……"

"Stab!"

After Kuroki Gensai politely thanked her, he calmly shot the receptionist in the head with his right hand!

He immediately pulled out his bloody finger, and with his black windbreaker swaying, he turned and left silently.

So far, although the parasite is a special species, it still has not brought him any surprises.

“…Ahhh! Murder!”

"Hurry up and call the police! And contact security to catch this guy. We can't let him get hurt again..."

"No! How did Ms. Maekawa become like this? This, this, this... isn't this a monster?!"

In the busy hall of the city hall, after a brief silence caused by the shocking act of Kuroki Gensai killing people, people in the hall began to shout in panic.

"The man in the gray suit at the front desk clerk at window number 4, and the young woman on the left with short hair and a light green sweatshirt."

Amid the noise at the scene that instantly became as noisy as a vegetable market, a man behind Kuroki, who was pulling his hood tight with his right hand, suddenly uttered a quick but clear and calm voice - this man was undoubtedly Izumi Shinichi and Xiaoyou.

Hikigaya and the other man, who were about to leave this world after completing their mission, didn't care, but as a local resident, Izumi Shinichi still had to worry about his identity being exposed.

So if you look and listen carefully, you will find that he is wearing a mask under his hood, and the sound is not coming from Izumi Shinichi's mouth, but from his right hand that is pulling the hood tight.

As Xiaoyou started to speak, Kuroki Gensai turned into a shadow, and first stabbed the uncle parasitic beast near the front desk to death.

Immediately, without stopping, he moved smoothly like a nimble fish, passing through the gaps between several passers-by who were blocking the road. Then he pointed his magic spear directly at the parasitic beast No. 2 with the face of the hooded short-haired girl in the crowd, and with a fierce piercing blow, he instantly pierced through the heart.

It was not until this moment that the two parasitic beasts reacted in the drastic changes that seemed to have stopped time. The human's face had just cracked a few times, and even the attack form had not been fully revealed before it was killed by the full-scale Kuroki Gensai.

As blood splattered everywhere, two more bodies fell. The volume and panic of the crowd in the hall rose two levels again. They were about to flee in all directions and cause a stampede.

Mr. Hikigaya Hachiman, who was standing next to Izumi Shinichi, was also filled with emotion when he saw this.

He had heard long before that working part-time during the holidays could help students learn a lot, and now he had a very real experience of this...

"Click~"

"jump!"

"Everyone, put your hands on your heads and squat! If anyone dares to move, the next shot will hit him directly!"

Then, Hikigaya, who was sighing, suddenly took out a shotgun from his travel bag and fired a shot at the ceiling.

The deafening gunshots and the clear threats made the people at the scene understand what they should do at the moment.

Looking at the crowd squatting in unison, and looking down at himself holding a gun, Hikigaya felt truly sad.

I always feel that I have really learned a lot during this "holiday" - at least he is definitely an expert at robbing a bank.

Chapter 97 Hirokawa and Goto

"First, three."

Kuroki Gensai retracted his right arm, which had stabbed out the magic spear, back to his waist. He was already planning to end it all.

He doesn't need any external forces like the police; he can deal with this group of parasitic beasts by attacking alone.

The only thing that Kuroki lacks now is his method of identifying parasitic beasts by looking directly into their eyes, which takes some time to distinguish.

For Kuroki Gensai, who wants to use blitzkrieg to kill the parasitic beasts before they launch an attack, this identification method is not suitable for this kind of race against time battle.

So what he needed was Izumi Shinichi and Xiaoyou to point out the enemy's position accurately and quickly like radar, and then he could carry out the instant kill.

Hikigaya, on the other hand, used the most threatening shotgun to intimidate ordinary people and prevent any additional casualties to finish his work.

"boom!"

At this moment, Hikigaya's face became a little stiff, and he slapped the front desk of the hall.

Fortunately, Hikigaya was robbing a bank for the first time... no, it was his first time threatening someone with a gun (it didn't seem to make much difference), although he was still quite nervous deep down.

But the thick and hard gun in his hand greatly made up for his lack of momentum, making him look fierce enough. He shouted at the few remaining young ladies at the front desk: "Call the police!"

"……what?"

When the front desk staff heard this, they were stunned for a moment, wondering if they had heard something wrong.

"Don't you understand?! Call the police right now. Tell them there's a monster in Higashifukuyama City Hall, or tell them I'm a dangerous, armed gangster planning to kidnap the mayor. Anyway, tell them to come right here!"

Although Uncle Kuroki might not care too much, Hikigaya still tried his best. He patted the shotgun in his right hand and urged impatiently, "Also, remember to clearly state the firepower of my guns. Tell them to bring more high-powered firearms!"

After giving the instructions and seeing the girls at the front desk dubiously dialing the Metropolitan Police Department, Hikigaya nodded in satisfaction and hurriedly chased after Kuroki and the other man in front of him.

There were only a few "hostages" left in the hall, crouching with their heads in their hands. After looking at each other in confusion for a moment, they suddenly stood up and rushed out of the city hall.

The three people, led by Kuroki, ignored the other parasitic beasts that Xiaoyou sensed along the way, but ran straight towards the mayor's office.

When "individuals" become "groups", their courses of action will inevitably change greatly.

If these more than 30 parasitic beasts fight each other, they will make different decisions based on their individual ideas.

Or he could transform into his true form and kill the humans nearby to stop Kuroki and the others, or he could change into a mimicked human appearance, escape from the city hall, and continue living under a different identity.

However, once they have a common "leader", the actions taken by all parasites will become unified - that is, the decision of the leader.

Unity can bring about greater strength, but it is also possible that all members will be led to death by the leader.

The current situation is: the three of them are heading straight for the Parasyte leader, there is no encirclement around them, the city hall itself has been exposed, and the police are on their way.

Then the only choices left for the parasitic beast leader are two: escape or fight.

Which direction will it develop in next?

Kuroki Gensai's bright eyes narrowed slightly. Those two options could actually be further divided into how to escape, how to fight, or various options of escaping and fighting at the same time.

But these are no longer important to Hei Mu.

Because as far as his mission is concerned, the moment the Higashifukuyama City Hall is exposed to the official eyes, it is equivalent to ceasing to exist.

Faced with modern war machines, even if they can take advantage of human indifference and win once or twice, in the end they will never have the slightest chance of winning.

Therefore, the Higashifukuyama City Hall was bound to be destroyed.

Therefore, all the other parasitic beasts in the city hall are like smokescreens for Kuroki Gensai. He actually has only one remaining target from the beginning to the end.

That is the parasitic beast leader mentioned on the task panel, or rather, a being related to the leader: Goto.

As long as Kuroki keeps a close eye on the parasitic beast leader in the city hall, he should be able to see this potentially special parasitic beast.

I hope it/he can bring me some surprises.

……

……

the other side.

There are only two "people" in the mayor's office in Higashifukuyama.

"What are you going to do next, Hirokawa?"

One of them was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room, his hands in the pockets of his simple black suit. His face showed signs of being thin, but his angular features gave him an inexplicable sense of momentum.

"You're asking the wrong question, Goto."

The other one was the mayor of Higashifukuyama, Tsuyoshi Hirokawa, who was sitting in an office chair and wearing a well-fitting brown suit. He was also the "leader" of this parasitic beast organization.

At this moment, he was looking through the computer on his desk. What was playing on it in a loop was the surveillance video of what had just happened in the front hall downstairs. It showed the three intruders entering and killing the three parasitic beasts in the hall at an unimaginable speed.

At the same time, he replied expressionlessly: "I can no longer escape, or even if I escape this time, there is no point, but you are different."

"Now that Tamiya Yoshiko is gone, you're the only one who can still command those of your kind. As long as you leave here in time and find a new mimic, all of us here will be able to survive."

"I'm not interested. I'm different from you. Their life and death mean nothing to me."

Kuroki Gensai's target, the special parasitic beast Goto, walked slowly to Hirokawa Tsuyoshi's side with an expressionless face, turned his back to him, and slightly tilted his head to glance at the surveillance video playing on the computer.

His gaze was particularly focused on the tall, bearded figure above him. Watching the human's agile and powerful movements, he suddenly felt a slight urge: "Let's just say I'm starting to take an interest in this human, and..."

Goto sensed the positions of his companions, which began to converge in his mind. He suddenly broke into a fang-filled grin, and in addition to his original two eyes, four more suddenly opened, revealing a ferocious, alien appearance in two rows of six. "It's too late!"

……

……

On Kuroki Gensai's side, he also encountered the situation that Goto said, "it's too late."

"There are three in front, four in the back, and six more jumping down from upstairs!"

Chapter 98 Massacre

"There are three in front, four in the back, and six more upstairs that seem to want to jump down!"

Along with Xiaoyou's urgent warning, Kuroki Gensai continued to run forward without stopping. In contrast, Hikigaya and Izumi Shinichi were behind him. After they paused, they retreated together tacitly.

This was what they had discussed before. All the fighting could be left to Hei Mu, and the two of them just had to find a way to ensure their own safety.

Just as the three figures separated, a group of three people in a sharp arrow formation, led by one person and followed by two others, suddenly jumped out from the corner in front and confronted the advancing Heimu.

The next second, just as a few cracks appeared on the faces of the three people, the parasitic beast with the face of a middle-aged man with an extremely indifferent expression in the lead suddenly saw the tall human being in front of him who was at least six meters away and rushing towards him.

Suddenly, he leaned forward, and it was as if the space was stretched, and in an instant he moved two body lengths closer to him. Then, the human stretched out his ape arms, and the leading parasitic beast suddenly found that in the blink of an eye, before he could even transform into the parasitic beast form, the attack had already arrived in front of him.

Instead of moving the body with the leg muscles, the body's center of gravity is suddenly tilted, which gives people the illusion that the distance and even the space are suddenly shortened.

Therefore, this footwork was given the name of the magic technique "Shrinking the Earth" in the Erhu Style.

Of course, although Kuroki does know the Erhu Style of "Origin of All Things", the Erhu Style techniques he uses are not those that he rarely uses.
