Ghoul’s Infinite Journey

In the sky, gray clouds kept gathering.

As the sky gradually darkened, it became deep and heavy, blocking the entire sky.

The unsteady convection in the air caused a chilling wind whistling.

Looking at, staring at, the suppressed sky that seemed to cry in the next moment, Izumi Shinichi's calm and seemingly emotionless gaze remained unchanged, but moved his lips slightly, "Ah, yes, it's time to go home."

After speaking, he mobilized his stiff body, stood up from the ground, and walked out of the severely damaged school rooftop.

Family?

I lost my mother, leaving only my father and my family.

It's still complete.

once.

The home in my heart?

Walking on the road, Izumi Shinichi, who couldn't see his expression, faintly echoed inexplicable doubts in his heart.

……

……

'Click'.

With the turning of the door lock.

Quan Xinyi walked into the former house.

"Ding, viewers who are watching the evening news, now I bring you the latest report. Due to the abnormal intrusion of cold air, a new typhoon is taking shape in this city. Please be careful, residents..."

Turning on the lights in the corridor, the sound of TV broadcasts came from the dark living room.

Looking at this familiar and unfamiliar house, Quan Xinyi's heart beat slightly.

The warmth and happiness of the past can no longer be seen at all, and only the mottled and messy room is left, filled with a dark and dull atmosphere.

"Father…"

Walking into the living room, the strong and pungent smell of alcohol hit my face.

Looking at the alcoholic beverages and ice cubes randomly placed on the table, Izumi Shinichi felt a little pain in his heart beating.

How long? It seems that after he was discharged from the hospital, his father took a long vacation at home, and used alcohol to relieve his worries all day long, numbing himself with alcohol.

Thin cheeks, sunken eye sockets, messy hair, decadent state, sluggish spirit.

The blow of his mother's death made the amiable and outgoing father who used to like to watch the news and laugh with his family while eating breakfast into such a bad look.

…

I wanted to express my concern for such a father, but the words I said were unexpectedly calm and blunt.

"Ah... Shinichi..."

Izumi Yizhi's voice was hoarse due to alcohol erosion, and the words he spoke were full of exhaustion, "I see, I'm going to sleep."

Sure enough.

It has changed.

You didn't ask me why I didn't come back until now. Is it all caused by me?

What the **** have I done?

Silent, facing such a father, Izumi Shinichi sadly found that he couldn't even express his true emotions.

"Good night…"

Those entangled words can only be turned into a normal greeting in the end. Quan Xinyi said lightly, but his heart was suppressed and uncomfortable.

"New One..."

But just when Quan Xinyi was about to go back to his room and calm down, Quan Yizhi spoke again, suddenly raising the volume, causing Quan Xinyi to stop, "When did you become so strong? ?"

"..."

Quan Xinyi was stunned for a moment, but remained silent, unable to answer.

"Could it be that you..."

"A heart made of iron and stone...?"

With doubts and probing words, his father's voice finally changed the flat expression on Quan Xinyi's face, and his heart throbbed with throbbing pains.

"Feel sorry…"

Speaking tiredly, as if realizing that his words were a bit serious, Izumi Ichichi lowered his voice.

"Mr. Izumi Ichiyuki, although I am very sad about what happened to you..."

"However, due to my duty, I have to regret to tell you that what happened to your wife, Miss Nobuko, was indeed a disaster caused by an unknown monster."

"At present, the country's information on this kind of monster is not very clear, but the recent series of corpse killing cases have been determined to be the work of these monsters."

"And it is certain that these unknown species can parasitize on human bodies, live instead of humans, lurking in society, and survive by eating the same kind of parasites. They have strong learning ability and strong camouflage."

"I believe that when I said this, Mr. Quan should also know why the country did not publish the information of this monster. For such a monster hidden among humans, rashly releasing news will only cause panic among the people."

"That's why there is a special group like us, the department responsible for investigating and tracking monster activities."

"Mr. Quan, I explained my origin and work content. Then I want to tell you what I want to tell you next. I hope you can hold back your emotions and accept it."

"Actually, it's not an accidental event that you can bring back your wife's head, but because your mission is to lurking around your family to observe, because, according to the analysis of professionals in the department and some witnesses, you Izumi Shinichi, my son, is probably in a state of being parasitized by that monster."

"In other words, he himself has become a monster, not a human."

"So... I think, if you say that, you should understand it..."

"This type of monster has a strong ability to learn, so judging from the current trajectory of Izumi Shinichi, if it completes its lurking, it will not prey on you, and will continue with Izumi Shinichi's daily routine. However, Don't be fooled by the other party's actions because of this, you must know that it is already a monster."

"So, Mr. Ichichi, I hope you can understand your position as a human being."

…………

Boom!

Outside the house, in the surging sky, thunder suddenly exploded.

Lightning like a silver snake pierced through the layers of darkness and shone in the sky.

The bright, short-lived light illuminated and reflected Izumi Izuki's pale cheeks in the dark room.

In Sakurazaki Hospital, Wu Yue's words to Quan Yizhi, like a thunder in the sky outside the window, suddenly appeared in Quan Yizhi's mind.

What country's CCG investigator said...

is that true……

Shinichi...why...why...why didn't you answer me just now!

Are you really a monster? ...

"Hey, Shinichi..."

Lowering his head and drowning his expression in darkness, Izumi Ichichi suppressed his trembling voice, and it rang again.

"Um…"

Quan Xinyi stood there without moving, and answered quietly. Although his father's voice was small, he still heard it with his inhuman senses.

Why...the words in such a low voice...Shinichi...

"Shinichi,...are you...still Izumi Shinichi?"

Boom!

The heart was beating violently.

Izumi Yizhi said the question with difficulty. Between the father and son, the hearts of both of them were aching violently.

"..."

Biting his lip, blood was overflowing from his mouth, but what could Quanxin answer to his father's words? Only silence.

"Heh...hehe..."

Laughter sounded, one after another, but there was no smile at all, only endless sadness and despair.

"Shinichi! Why...why don't you speak! Tell me!"

Boom boom boom.

Outside the window, thunder roared, lightning banged violently, roared in the sky, and the wind was blowing and dancing.

Under the flickering light, Izumi Ichichi had already stood up in the face of his son's silence, and on his pale and tired cheeks, his expression was so excited that he exuded a ferocious expression.

"Tell me! You! Is it Izumi Shinichi! Still! It has become like the monster that killed your mother!"

"Tell me!!"

'Boom'!

Quan Xinyi was stunned, as if a heavy hammer had smashed into his heart.

Why? Father, do you already know? right thing?

Then my concealment...

what sense?

……

"Of course, Mr. Quan, I know it's hard to accept, but if you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do. After all, this kind of cunning monster will only reveal its face when its life is in danger."

"And when its disguise is torn apart, your life will be hard to protect."

……

"Ahhhhhh!! Can't you answer? Then let me try!!!"

The strong suppressed emotion tore his throat. Facing Izumi Shinichi, who seemed to be acquiescing, he took out a sharp knife with a flickering cold light from under the sofa, and sprinted towards Izumi Shinichi directly.

"Shinichi! Dangerous!"

Seeing his father rushing towards him with a sharp blade in hand, Quan Xinyi's pupils shrank violently, but he was completely stunned.

In the face of Izumi Ichichi, who was coming towards Shinichi's body, and Izumi Shinichi, who had no intention of evading at all, Right found that he could no longer remain silent, and immediately entered the battle form from Shinichi's right hand.

He attacked Izumi Ichiichi who was a threat to Izumi Shinichi.

"!"

Looking at his son's right hand that suddenly mutated, this time, it was replaced by Izumi Ichiichi, who was completely sluggish. His right ferocious form and strange changes were exactly the same as the parasitic beast when he killed his wife.

What the guy said was true.

What the investigator Wu Yue said was true.

My son... is a monster!

Are you going to die?

Accompanying Shinko?

If killed by the same monster...

"Stop!! Right! What are you doing! Stop it for me!!"

Seeing Right's sharp attacking organ being launched towards his father, Quan Xinyi finally got out of his shock, his expression instantly turned hideous, and he roared at Right.

"It's strange...it's been affected again...Shinichi...why? The other party is going to kill you! Why do you want me to stop."

Right, whose life is supreme, became puzzled, especially Izumi Shinichi's thoughts once again manipulated it in an instant, and his thoughts were forced to stop by Izumi Shinichi. The right said that he couldn't understand it at all.

"...Sure enough...is it a monster?"

"Father……"

"Hehehe... Sure enough? Shinichi who became strange... Shinichi didn't even cry when he attended Nobuko's funeral... Sure enough, is it a monster..."

Looking at Izumi Shinichi, whose right hand has mutated, Izumi Ichichi was struck by this cruel reality without any accident.

She said tremblingly, covering her head with her hands in pain, and her voice sounded like crying or laughing.

"..."

heart.

tearing apart.

When Quan Xin faced his father's appearance at the moment, he felt as if his heart was being stirred by a knife. However, facing the facts his father said, he was powerless to refute.

"………what."

"That's right."

"Father, do you still remember the strange snake I told you and mother before?"

"Probably, at that time, I, who had been parasitized by monsters, were no longer human."

"I'm gradually changing. I notice it but don't admit it."

"I didn't even dare to open my mouth to my family, hiding everything."

"It's me, it's me who killed my mother."

…

"You're right... Possess a monster's right hand that humans can't have. It can speak, learn, and transform into a weapon."

"Izumi Shinichi like this is undoubtedly a monster."

…

"But... there is only one thing, I don't want to admit it! Such a monster is different from the human monster Izumi Shinichi!"

"His heart is definitely not a monster!"

"Always be human!"

"It's you and your mother's child!"

…

Seemingly with guilt, but also with relief, Quan Xin smiled, being able to face himself like this and truly speak out the words in his heart, the smile on Quan Xinyi's face at this moment is undoubtedly true , which belongs to human laughter.

"Hehehe, although, so to speak..."

"Some things can't be undone... Mother, after all, died because of me."

"So, father... Even if you want to take my life, the life of such a deformed monster, I will not resist..."

…………

"yes?"

Silently picked up the sharp knife on the ground, and Izumi Ichichi, whose expression could not be clearly seen in the darkness, sounded, "I heard people say that parasitic beasts are cunning monsters that will disguise their actions..."

Approaching, the hand holding the sharp knife gradually approached Izumi Shinichi.

……

"New One!"

Right wanted to stop Izumi Shinichi's stupid behavior, but found that he couldn't control his actions at all, and could only make an anxious voice~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Because of the cunning of that monster, no matter what the other party did , can't be trusted..."

The sharp blade has come to Izumi Shinichi's side, and the distance between Izumi Shinichi and Izumi Shinichi can even hear the heartbeats of both parties clearly.

"New One!"

The right saw that the opponent's knife had been raised, and he couldn't help but become more impatient.

……

"so…"

The knife was held out, and along with Izumi Yizhi's gradually inaudible voice, it suddenly turned into a cold light and stabbed towards Izumi Xinyi's heart.

"Shinichi! Dodge!"

Right's eyes widened, the other party had really stabbed.

……

Boom.

With the thunder, the heavy rain in the sky finally poured down.

Warm blood splashed on Quan Xinyi's face, and something washed down on that cheek.

…

"Father…?"

Then, before the heavy rain, Quan Xinyi saw the flash of lightning, and blocked the sharp knife that stabbed at his heart with his hand, his father smiling tenderly.

"Idiot...Even if I was deceived...how could I have done it...you are my son, even if you lied to me, you can only believe it..."

…

"Hey, Shinichi, you're in tears."
