lost narrative poem

Chapter 21

Not to mention Izumi Nobuko who is a mother with a delicate mind, even Izumi Ichiyuki who is a father couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, recalling all the signs of his son before like a conditioned reflex.

And the more they think about it, the more frightened they become. They only feel shuddering, their hairs stand on end, and their hearts tremble.

After all, before the two couples went on a trip, their son Quan Xinyi did become a little weird. If it was adolescence rebellion or something, it would be too late, and the worst problem is——

If you think about it carefully, you can find that the time of their son's change seems to coincide with the occurrence of various homicide cases during this period.

...It's simply unbelievable to think about it, and it's horrifying to think about it carefully.

It is probably like the psychology of suspecting neighbors and stealing axes, thinking that neighbors have stolen one's axe, and then examining neighbors' behavior with such preconceived ideas.

——Looking at the way that man walks, he looks like a thief who stole his axe; looking at the expression on his face, he looks like a thief who stole his axe; listening to the man's words, he looks like a thief who stole his axe the thief.

Anyway, the more I look at it, the more I look like it, and I always feel that no matter what the person I suspect is doing, he looks like a thief who stole his axe.

This is how they are now. They have just seen the existence of a monster like a parasitic beast, and they cannot deny its authenticity. Then they heard about the horrible behavior of that monster...

Parasites in the human body, eat the host's brain, and replace it.

Then connect this information with the son they care about the most, remembering the changes in their son during this period, it seems that they have changed into a different person unconsciously...

Naturally, it is preconceived, thinking in one direction and not looking back.Because they had such thoughts in their hearts, they accepted the relevant psychological hints in advance.

"..."

"..."

At this moment, the faces of the two couples instantly turned pale and pale. It seemed that the more they thought about it, the more they felt that there was something wrong with their son.

And there is the most important point, that is, they remembered something that they had neglected before——

Just before their son changed, something happened. One night, the two couples suddenly heard screams coming from their son's room. When they rushed in, they found that their son had fallen off the bed and was using the headphone cable He tied his arms tightly.

His arms were red because of the lack of blood circulation, and when he asked him what was going on, he said that a snake got into his arm...

—but how could the snake get into the arm?

In addition, although the son said it swearingly at the time, there was no wound on his arm, so the couple at the time agreed that it was their son who had a nightmare, and they couldn't tell reality for a while.

But at this moment, they only felt chills in their hearts.

Quan Xinzi couldn't bear the stimulation at all, his body shook in front of his eyes, and he almost passed out on the spot.Fortunately, her husband, Quan Yizhi, had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly reached out to support her.

"I'm not sure about this, but most of the parasitic beasts seem to eat the people around them directly after the parasite is over, and then learn how to hide through learning. Although there are exceptions, your son should not be a big problem... ..."

At this time, it is naturally impossible for Xia Ran to reveal his foresight. In theory, he should not know the other party's son, and it is even more impossible to draw a firm conclusion at this time.

Although he really wanted to say, your son is just hanging out.

However, the faces of the two couples were still pale and motionless, as if the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, as if they had been petrified.

So Xia Ran thought for a while, and then suddenly had a wonderful... no, it was an immature idea.

"If you really don't feel relieved, or you can try it out, just use this opportunity...you can pretend that you were really attacked by a parasitic beast, and only one person escaped, and then call him to see his condition. reaction……"

Of course, Xia Ran didn't think of it on a whim, so she had some evil intentions, but felt that such a link was actually necessary.

Because honesty and kindness may be Izumi Shinichi's strengths, but cowardice and timidity are definitely not, and the most important thing is that this high school student is a little unclear about the situation, and certain concepts and ideas sometimes seem naive——

For example, in order to prove that he is still a human being and not an emotionless parasitic beast, he rushes forward to stop the violence, regardless of whether he has the ability or not.Of course, this can still be regarded as kindness and justice, with a heart that is not cold.

But when encountering gangsters who robbed his girlfriend and beat him viciously, although he did not flinch, he would never borrow the power of the parasitic beast's right hand... The reason is very simple, he was afraid that Ah You would be careless Hurt the punk.

Although my girlfriend was caught by these gangsters...

Although I was beaten up in front of my girlfriend until my nose was bruised and my face was swollen...

Although if I continue like this, I may even have to watch some things that I regret for the rest of my life happen...

But in order not to hurt this group of punks, I still have to not let my right hand mess around.

Well, this is no ordinary naivety.

Without the strength of his right hand, Izumi Shinichi would be a high school student with no power to restrain a chicken, unable to do anything.If it wasn't for the fact that another bad force in his school hadn't been protective and arrived in time to save the two of them...

So what can he do?And what will happen to his girlfriend who was caught by the gangsters?

Quan Xinyi seems to have never considered this issue at all, or before he really encountered a heart-wrenching fate, his ideas were always naive... So, after his mother died, he was also killed once , he really changed.

However, it is not worth it to change at that time because the result is irreversible.

Xia Ran feels that people can and should be kind, but they must not be naive.

So it's better to take this opportunity to simply scare that guy, and don't expect to achieve the reborn effect in the original plot, at least let the guy understand that this world is not gentle and correct at all.

……

……

About 5 minutes later, Xia Ran left the hotel.

After all, you can't stay for too long. What if the two people face each other calm down and find out that he is a wanted criminal?

Although that can also explain that in the face of the real threat of monsters, the wanted criminal is not a big problem, but it is an unnecessary trouble after all, and it is best to avoid it as much as possible if it can be avoided.

So he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't stay too long. He just warned the two of them to have a good rest. Let your guard down.

It is true that the number of parasitic beasts is actually very limited compared to the huge human population.Even in a bustling city, hunting grounds should be actively distinguished, and there may be communication between them, but the usual range of activities should not overlap.

Therefore, in an area, it is often not easy to encounter more than two parasitic beasts. The one encountered before is considered a small probability event.

But there is no absolute in everything, let alone a small probability event, even if it is an extremely small probability event, as long as the possibility is not zero, there is still a chance to happen... So we still can't take it lightly.

He first went back to a homestay he chose to stay in, briefly treated the injury of his left hand, and then had a not-so-rich but delicious dinner, and then when the night had not completely fallen, he was ready to go back to the hotel again. Set off to the seaside cliff before.

However, he did not choose to set off by himself, but gathered a dozen young men and women in the town who were too energetic, threw out the excuse he had prepared before, and asked them to take him to the seaside cliff with money.

As for the reason, it's random, he made up something of his own and accidentally dropped it, because it was very important, so he wanted to try to get it back no matter what, but he couldn't do it alone.

It doesn't matter if you pay some money, the most important thing is to ensure safety. If you are really lucky and fall out of the alphabet, and you run into another parasitic beast, then it is really too easy to become a target if you act alone.

Conversely, if two or more people travel together, it will be much safer.If the previous parasitic beast was not on the verge of death and urgently needed a new head, it would definitely only choose a single target to attack.

The purpose is to prevent accidents where someone escapes.

……

……

After a difficult process of keeping careful attention at all times and displaying her acting skills while concealing her identity, Xia Ran returned to the homestay near nine o'clock in the evening.

Well, maybe it’s not difficult, but it’s really troublesome. Fortunately, maybe Xia Ran doesn’t have much acting skills, but those teenagers also don’t have such delicate thoughts——

Xia Ran even suspected that even if she didn't wear a hat or make up, they would not recognize herself who was being wanted.

But now it's over, and he also got what he wanted. The item exploded by the parasitic beast has not been refreshed, and it is in his hand now. It is a key with... a somewhat quaint style.

This thing can be put away directly, and it does not occupy the storage bar.According to the instructions, after using the key, you can directly extract a variable number of items, skills, or equipment.

However, what can be obtained is what the source of the key theoretically possesses. For example, the key released by a martial arts master in the martial arts world should only get the martial arts secrets he has mastered.

There is no reason to draw Kryptonian blood, T virus serum...

After understanding this basic principle, Xia Ran suddenly lost interest. What can that weak chicken parasite give him?Explode the skill of proficiency in a language?Might as well be completely random.

He sighed, and gently inserted the key in his hand forward, there was a slight sound of friction and rotation in the air, as if an invisible treasure chest was being opened, and his hand felt as real as if he was turning the key. Push it into the keyhole and turn it normally.

You can feel that resistance, that friction.

The next moment, a faint golden light burst out in the air... Although it was dim, Xia Ran still had a feeling of blinding the dog's eyes at this moment!

gold!

"Hey! Okay! I'm in!"
