Lost Narrative Poetry

However, the value of this piece of equipment seemed to be a little less. Xia Ran evaluated it briefly, then threw it into his private space and ignored it for the time being.

——He probably won’t use it very much, but maybe it will work wonders at some point.

After all, no matter what type of parasitic beast it is, it will definitely not expect that a person with no place to hide anything in his body would suddenly pull out a 40-meter-long sword from nowhere at the moment of hand-to-hand combat...

If one of them fails, it will probably be the moment that determines the winner and determines life and death.

Private space is an important standard function for the lost. It is not only used as an inventory, it can also be very helpful in combat...but there are really too few grids, and the initial grid is only five grids.

There is no way to expand your personal space, but you still need to wait until you leave the mission world and operate in your own personal area.

And the first time to increase five grids, you need 5,000 points, the second time to add five grids, you need 10,000 points, the third time to add five grids, you need 20,000 points... I don’t know if there is a limit to the number of expansions, anyway, every time Each time is doubled on the basis of the previous time.

Xia Ran doesn't have any extra resources at the moment, and it will probably be tight in the future - even if it's just 5,000 points - so these initial 5 storage grids may have to accompany him for a relatively long time.

There is definitely some inconvenience, but there is nothing we can do about it and we can only try our best to overcome it.

…

After lunch, Xia Ran left the temporary residence again.

Without any goals, he just wandered around the city, relying on the special sense of his left hand to find possible parasitic beasts as the next target to hunt.

Although those things seem to have become worthless monsters, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are. Even if it is a parasitic beast with only 100 points, he is not willing to let it go. After all, there is no other way to earn points now. .

Besides, Xia Ran doesn’t have much time left——

Originally, if he did nothing, he would be able to stay in this plane for more than a year, but if he interferes with the cause and effect of this world, it will increase the degree of interference mentioned by White Space...

Then it will be quickly repelled by some kind of correction force of this plane itself, and the residence time will be correspondingly shortened sharply.

As for how much it will be shortened, it depends on what level of interference it has reached. For example, because Xia Ran changed a very critical and important plot node, her stay was shortened from the estimated "one year" to "two years". months".

Oh, it's been less than two months now, after all, a week has passed since that incident.

His safest choice now, if nothing unexpected happens, is to spend the next time peacefully, not to cause trouble, and then safely escape the gravity of the laws of this world and return to his own dimension of reality.

However, the Xia Ran before might have been happy to hear such good news and made such a choice as a matter of course... He didn't want to do that now.

Because now that he has enough self-protection and fighting abilities, and has found companions who can help, he is naturally not willing to waste the last precious time to earn points. He feels right if he does not seize this opportunity. Can't help myself.

...even though the individual kill rewards have shrunk greatly now.

But there is no reason to say that when there were no conditions before, we still have to cautiously and carefully plan for every possible reward, even if it means risking our lives.

But when he could hunt the parasitic beasts easily, he was ready to give up. No matter how small the mosquito legs were, they were still meat.

Another important reason is-

Although Xia Ran changed Izumi Shinichi's fate so that the protagonist of the plot would not encounter such a tragic future, it also caused the other party to lose an important opportunity for transformation.

It was precisely because he encountered death once and was later rescued by his own right hand, and allowed the cells of the parasitic beast to penetrate his body, that Izumi Shinichi changed from his previous timidity and became calm and courageous.

And because of the change in his physique, he has the ability to move and perceive beyond ordinary people. Even when his right hand is sleeping, he can kill ordinary parasitic beasts alone... This is not the righteous backstab that Xia Ran used before, but The kind of direct combat.

It's just that Izumi Shinichi will never take this path again. However, as the opposite of the protagonist of the plot, the actions of the parasitic beasts are likely to remain unchanged...

So Xia Ran was really worried about whether the protagonist's golden finger was not powerful enough to defeat the villain.

Therefore, he was wondering if he could use the last period of time to do something as much as possible, such as directly defeating the final BOSS, which was the monster that merged with the five parasitic beasts...

It's not that there is no chance of winning. As long as you make good use of your intelligence advantage, the chance of winning is actually very high.

In fact, this is what he is doing now - it seems that he was stimulated by the large number of premeditated killings during this period. He killed eight parasitic beasts in one week, so that other people in the city were The monsters have already begun to behave differently.

Compared with the huge human society, their group size is inherently very rare. Even if the relationship is loose and there is no contact, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Xia Ran's idea was also very simple, because he really had no impression of the details of the plot behind it, so he could only let the thing come to him on its own initiative.

He vaguely remembered that the thing seemed to be a product created in Tamiya Ryoko's laboratory. In essence, it was five parasitic organisms parasitizing the body of the same host... Although the combat power was very ferocious, it was not strong from the beginning. To the point where there is no solution.

Because the parasitic beast that served as the command tower at the beginning failed in the battle with Izumi Shinichi, another parasitic beast was replaced to serve as the command tower. Only when that parasitic beast was able to completely unify the consciousness of the whole body did it truly become the ultimate terror. BOSS.

And Xia Ran's idea was - when this combined monster came to the door for the first time, and it was not so powerful that it was invincible, he would gather all his strength to nail it completely in one go, and never give it a chance to go back and adjust and upgrade. .

Again, if everything goes well, that monster will be a hunting target with low risks, high returns, and excellent cost performance.

After much thought, Xia Ran finally decided to be more radical.

…

…

At the same time, on a prosperous shopping street.

A beautiful girl with earmuffs and long black hair was looking at her phone with her head lowered while slowly moving forward.

Very suddenly, she suddenly raised her head with a surprised expression, then put her phone in her pocket, turned around quickly and trotted in the direction behind her...

only--

"Are you going to see that person again?"

A slightly unkind tone sounded, and a delinquent wearing a gray woolen hat, a small patch of unruly stubble on his chin, a brown-red jacket and jeans blocked the girl's path.

"Mitsuo? Why is it you?"

The girl raised her eyebrows without fear and stared at the delinquent in front of her without any timidity.

"Why are you here...wait, have you been following me?"

"Let me tell you! Kana, are you going to see him again?" The bad gangster named Mitsuo did not answer, but asked again in a low and annoyed tone.

"he?"

"It's the guy who thinks he is a partner of justice..." Mitsuo clenched his fists and said aggrievedly.

He couldn't help but get angry when he mentioned this. He was a student from Beijing High School and often had conflicts with students from West High School.

One day not long ago, when he and his friends were beating up a Nishi High School student, a fool came up to break up the fight and was severely beaten by him. At that time, Kana Kimijima stopped Mitsuo from attacking the boy. Beaten...

Mitsuo didn't think there was anything wrong with it at that time, he just thought it was normal because Kimijima Kana was a more sympathetic girl.

The point is that he feels that he has shown off his powerful muscles in front of the other party, so he is proud of it.

——It is also understandable that at a competitive age, naive boys like to fight bravely in front of girls they like, and regard stupid behavior as a way to show their ability.

Of course, Mitsuo was not immune to this. At that time, he simply felt that he was beautiful, handsome, and strong, and he felt good about himself.

But after that, something went wrong. Kimijima Kana didn't know what kind of evil was possessed, so he began to investigate the guy named Izumi Shinichi. His attention quickly increased, and he even went to look for that guy often...

Guangfu, who didn't have much brain, began to panic about this. His lack of brain concentration could not come up with any good ideas to solve this problem. He just kidnapped the boy's girlfriend and threatened the boy with some dirty methods, and He beat the opponent violently again...

This did not solve the problem, because Kimijima Kana still paid close attention to the boy after that, and even often observed near Nishitaka. Guangfu felt very disgusted by this, and he became more and more irritable as a result.

"...You get out of the way, I'm going back."

Kimijima Kana faced his question at this moment. He was silent for a moment, and then said very coldly. He did not answer his question, but directly walked around the other party and left.

She had no way to explain her behavior to the other party, and she didn't feel that she really needed to explain. The other party didn't really belong to her, so he wanted to interfere with her affairs?

"Are you really going back? Aren't you going to see that boy?" Guangfu subconsciously grabbed the girl's arm and shouted angrily in a low voice, feeling a great anger and sense of crisis rising in his heart, "You should Could it be that you have fallen in love with him?"

"What are you doing...it hurts. Let me go."

Kimijima Kana struggled to break away from the other party's hand and said angrily.

"And this has nothing to do with you at all, right? Don't interfere with my business!"

Moreover, after being delayed by Mitsuo for a short while, the target captured by telepathy was moving away. She was also a little anxious, so after breaking free from the other party's entanglement, she trotted forward quickly, not caring about the expression of the bad gangster behind her.

"..."

Mitsuo's face, which stayed where he was, turned red and white, and he clenched his fists with great force, then gritted his teeth and chased after him.
