Lost Narrative Poetry

Not to mention Izumi Nobuko, who is a mother who is delicate and considerate, even Izumi Kazuyuki, as a father, couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, and he recalled all the previous signs of his son as if by conditioned reflex.

And the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. They only felt shuddering, the hair on their hair stood on end, and their hearts were on edge.

After all, before the two couples went on a trip, their son Izumi Shinichi did become a little weird. If it was a rebellious period in adolescence, it would be too late. The worst problem is——

If you think about it carefully, you can find that the time when their son changed like this seems to coincide with the appearance of various murder and corpse cases during this period.

...It is simply too scary to think deeply about.

It's probably like the mentality of suspecting a neighbor of stealing an axe. You think your neighbor stole your axe, and then you review your neighbor's behavior with this preconceived idea.

——Looking at the way the man walks, he looks like a thief who stole his own axe; looking at the expression on the man’s face, he looks like a thief who stole his own axe; and listening to the man’s words, it looks more like a thief who stole his own axe. thief.

Anyway, the more I look at them, the more they look like each other. I always feel that no matter what the person I suspect does, he looks like the thief who stole his own axe.

They are like this now. They have just seen the existence of a monster like a parasitic beast and cannot deny its authenticity. Then they heard about the terrifying behavior of that monster...

Parasitizes the human body, eats the host's brain, and replaces it.

Then they combined this information with the son they cared about most, and when they thought about the changes in their son during this period, it seemed that he had changed into a different person unknowingly...

Naturally, you have preconceptions, and your thinking runs in one direction and never looks back. Because they have such thoughts in their minds, they have accepted 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 the most important thing is that they remembered something that they had ignored before——

Just before their son changed, something happened. One night, the couple 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 earphone cord. Tie your arms tightly.

His arms were red from the lack of blood circulation, and when he asked him what happened, he said that a snake had gotten into his arm...

——But how could a snake get inside an arm?

In addition, although the son had sworn what he said at the time, there were no wounds on his arms. Therefore, the couple at the time agreed that their son had had a nightmare and could not distinguish reality for a while.

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

Izumi Nobuko couldn't bear the stimulation at all. Ichika swayed before her eyes and almost fainted on the spot. Fortunately, her husband, Izumi Izhi, had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly stretched out his hand to support her.

"I'm not sure about this, but most of the parasitic beasts seem to eat the people around them directly after they are parasitized, and then learn to hide themselves through learning. Although exceptions are not ruled out, your son should not have a big problem... …”

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

Although he really wants to say that your son is just cheating.

However, the two couples were still pale and motionless. They seemed to be getting more and more scared as they thought about it, as if they were already petrified.

So Xia Ran thought about it for a while, and then suddenly came up with a brilliant... No, it was an immature idea.

"If you are really not reassured, or you can test it out, take advantage of this opportunity... Just pretend that you were really attacked by a parasitic beast, and only one person escaped, and then call him to check on his reaction……"

Of course, Xia Ran didn't have any bad taste as a sudden idea, but felt that such a part was actually necessary.

Because integrity and kindness may be Izumi Shinichi’s strengths, but timidity is definitely not. And the most important thing is that this high school student can’t distinguish the situation, and some of his 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 to stop violence regardless of whether he has the ability or not. Of course, this can be considered kind and righteous, with a heart that is not cold.

But when he encountered some gangsters who kidnapped his girlfriend and beat him up severely, although he did not flinch, he definitely refused to borrow the power of the parasitic beast's right hand... The reason was very simple. He was afraid that Ah You would be careless. Hurt the punks.

Although my girlfriend got caught by these punks...

Even though I was beaten up badly by gangsters in front of my girlfriend...

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

But in order not to hurt these little gangsters, I still have to not let my right hand go around.

Well, this is no ordinary naivety.

Without the power of his right hand, Izumi Shinichi would be a high school student with no power, unable to do anything. If it weren't for another bad force in his school who was more defensive and arrived in time to save the two of them...

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

Izumi Shinichi didn't seem to have considered this issue at all, or in other words, before he really encountered a heart-wrenching fate, his ideas were always very naive... So, after his mother died, he was also killed once , he truly changed.

However, if you change at that time, the consequences will be irreversible, so it’s not worth it.

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

So it would be better to take this opportunity to simply scare the guy, and not expect to achieve the reborn effect of the original plot. At least let the guy understand that this world is not gentle or correct at all.

…

…

About five minutes later, Xia Ran left the hotel.

After all, you can't stay too long. What if the two people on the opposite side find out that he is a wanted criminal after they calm down?

Although that can also be explained, in the face of real monster threats, wanted criminals are not a big problem, but after all, they are an unnecessary trouble, and it is best to avoid it if possible.

So he stopped as he saw fit, without staying too much. He just warned the two of them to have a good rest and not go to any remote place alone again. Moreover, no matter who they were facing, whether they were strangers or familiar friends, they should not be easily 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. There may be communication between them, but their usual activity ranges should not overlap.

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

But nothing is absolute, let alone a small probability event. Even if it is a very small probability event, as long as the possibility is not zero, there is still a chance of happening... Therefore, we still cannot take it lightly.

He first went back to a B\u0026B where he chose to stay, briefly treated the injury on his left hand, and then had a not-so-rich but delicious dinner. Then, before night fell, he was ready to go again. Set off to the previous seaside cliff.

However, he did not choose to set off on his own. Instead, he gathered a dozen overly energetic young men and women in the town, threw out the excuses he had prepared before, and paid them to take him to the seaside cliff.

As for the reason, it was casual. He made up something he owned and accidentally dropped it. Because that thing was very important, he wanted to try to find 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 the luck value really falls out of the alphabet and encounters another parasitic beast, then it will be too easy for one person to become a target.

On the contrary, it will be much safer if two or more people travel together. If the previous parasitic beast was not on the verge of death and in urgent need of a new head, it would definitely only choose a lonely target to attack.

This is to prevent accidents in which someone escapes.

…

…

After a difficult process that required careful attention at all times, and the need to use her acting skills while concealing her identity, Xia Ran returned to the B\u0026B again at nearly nine o'clock in the evening.

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

Xia Ran even suspected that even if he didn't wear a hat or make up, they wouldn't recognize him who was wanted.

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

This thing can be put away directly and does not occupy the storage column. According to the description, the key can directly extract an uncertain number of items, skills or equipment after use.

However, what can be obtained are things that the source of the key theoretically possesses. For example, if a key is revealed by a master in the world of martial arts, he should only be able to obtain the martial arts secrets he has mastered.

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

After understanding this basic principle, Xia Ran suddenly felt uninterested. What could that weak parasitic beast give him? Explode the skill of being proficient in a language? Might as well be completely random.

He sighed and gently inserted the key in his hand. There was a subtle sound of friction and rotation in the air, as if an invisible treasure box was being opened, and his hand felt as real as if he was turning the key. It's like pushing it into the keyhole and turning it.

You can feel the resistance, the friction.

The next moment, a slightly dim golden light burst out in the air... Although it was dim, Xia Ran still felt blinded at this moment!

gold!

"Hey! Okay! I'm hit!"
