Lost Narrative Poetry

No matter what Kimijima Kana thinks about, it can't change what happens next.

As Xia Ran expected, Izumi Shinichi replied quickly. He and Uda Mamoru were indeed nearby, not too far away, and would be able to get over soon. So Xia Ran asked them to go around from the other direction and directly outflank the two parasitic beasts behind them.

Because he still had to carry an unconscious delinquent boy, this message was also sent by Kimijima Kana.

The latter stared at him with a very strange look, as if he was wondering if he had a mental problem. After all, it would be impossible for a normal person to say such incomprehensible words, right?

What kind of "parasitic beast"...

What about "surrounding and killing them"...

What "can't let anyone escape alive"...

——Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

However, Izumi Shinichi on the other side of the phone agreed very decisively, without even hesitating, and his tone was very serious...

This caused Kana Kimijima to break out in a large drop of cold sweat on his forehead, giving him a subtle feeling of embarrassment.

Is this a group of chuunibyou? Or is it the kind that is severely advanced and hopeless?

The so-called high school sophomores are senior middle school sophomores, and these people happen to be members of this group. It seems understandable if the abuse they receive is particularly serious... maybe?

Her knowledge and experience didn't allow her to explain this matter well, so she could only think this way.

The only consolation seemed to be that it was confirmed that the other party was not a bad person, nor did he want to harm her and her friend Mitsuo... But, listening to their communication, it seemed that the two following behind were the bad people?

Kimijima Kana is not a completely silly girl. She has figured out some useful information, but she just doesn't dare to confirm it. Or maybe what she heard is too bizarre for normal people to believe.

About two minutes later.

Xia Ran felt that it was time to prepare to take action. After all, the two parasitic beasts were already less than a hundred meters behind him, and they might break out at any time.

Instead of waiting for the other party to take the lead and seize the right to attack, it is better to let yourself fire the first shot. He thought so, and casually threw the unconscious gangster on the ground, as casually as if he was throwing away garbage.

"What are you doing?!" Kimijima Kana was shocked by such a rough unloading behavior.

The delinquent boy was lying on the ground, grunting and moaning vaguely, and his face looked a little twisted in pain. I wonder if such a solid blow caused his previous injury to be affected again?

Xia Ran was unmoved. It was unrealistic to let these two people take refuge at this time. Besides, he didn't just take the unconscious person with him just to save the bad boy, regardless of past suspicions.

He couldn't save everyone, so his idea was that if something went wrong, and something unexpected happened to Izumi Shinichi and Uda Mamoru, and they couldn't come over in time, then he would decisively abandon the unconscious ones. The little bastard who woke up——

Using the other party as live bait to attract the attention of the parasitic beast, he would also have a chance to safely evacuate with Kana Kimishima.

Or to be more radical, use that guy as live bait and design a trap around the bait to let the two parasitic beasts disperse, and then he will destroy them one by one, harvesting two heads in one fell swoop.

There is no doubt that if the time comes to make a choice, Xia Ran will do so without hesitation.

Because he doesn't mind saving a character he hates like Mitsuo if he can, because the other party is indeed worthy of death... However, if sacrifice is needed, it is reasonable for the guilty character to be abandoned first.

——This is his view of good and evil, which can be said to be very simple.

"Okay, let's stop here... I don't know whether it's me or you who are unlucky, but the current situation can be regarded as your unlucky one. If you had just been more reckless and rushed directly, the result might have been very different."

Looking at the two "people" who were very close behind him, Xia Ran raised his hand, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said loudly.

"..."

"..."

The two parasitic beasts on the opposite side stopped at the same time. They also noticed some doubts, so they became wary.

After all, in the recent short period of time, the death rate of parasitic beasts in this city has been extremely high. It is precisely because of their fear that they changed their solitary style and chose to travel together. Foraging.

"Um, what are you talking about...have we known each other before?"

One of the parasitic beasts has a human appearance, that of an office worker, wearing a white shirt and tie, looking like a man in a suit and tie. It first looked at the same kind next to it, and then said this.

The "prey" that had been selected not long ago suddenly changed their behavior at this critical moment. It seemed that they had already discovered their true identity, and that strange speech that made people confused...

These two parasitic beasts did not dare to be careless and were not sure what the current situation was, so they wanted to test it out first.

"You don't know what I'm talking about?" Xia Ran sighed slightly, his eyes were very calm from beginning to end, and seemed to have a trace of pity, "I mean... you two are going to die now."

The moment the words fell——

His left hand stretched, elongated, and split like rubber. The end quickly lost the structure of the palm and five fingers, and transformed into a long bone blade, shining with a sharp cold light, surrounding him like two huge poisonous snakes. around the body.

"Ahhhhhh-!!"

Before the two parasitic beasts on the opposite side had time to react, the soprano behind him immediately soared to the sky.

Kimijima Kana opened his mouth wide and stared at the scene in front of him. His mind went blank and he lost the ability to think.

How is this going? !

What kind of monster is this? !

The two parasitic beasts opposite were also shocked. It was because they were completely unaware of the wavelengths of the same kind that they thought the people opposite were prey. However, they did not expect such a thing to happen.

There was no reaction before, but one of their kind is parasitic on a person?

How is this possible? Putting aside everything else, how on earth was the conscious reaction of the parasitic beast blocked? So much so that not even a little bit of the wavelength was emitted before, and it was almost as if it was dead.

And at this moment, they all noticed at the same time that two other similar consciousness reactions appeared in two directions behind them almost at the same time, and they had already entered the sensing range of 300 meters!

But what came was not their pure kind.

——Izumi Shinichi and Uda Mamoru appeared at this moment, and together with Xia Ran here, they formed a triangular outflanking formation and blocked the two parasitic beasts right in the center.

With a gentle breath, Xia Ran stepped forward and pressed forward. His alienated left hand also showed an aggressive attack posture, like two terrifying poisonous snakes that were spitting out messages and ready to attack.

"...!!"

The expressions of the two parasitic beasts on the opposite side changed slightly, and then they turned around and ran away without hesitation, directly choosing a different side of the street as their direction.

Because they are essentially emotionless and absolutely rational creatures, of course it is impossible to say that hot-blooded people choose to fight.

All fools know that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to them. They have definitely entered a trap with no chance of winning. The only option to have a chance of survival is to split up and run away immediately...

By the same token, it is absolutely impossible for them to choose to stay by themselves to break up the rear for their own kind, to hold back the enemy or something like that——

The concepts of "sacrifice" and "dedication" are almost impossible for parasitic beasts to understand and accept.

Xia Ran didn't say anything, but immediately focused on the parasitic beast that looked like a white-collar office worker.

With an agility attribute of 12 points, his full sprint speed is definitely faster than the opponent's, because the scary thing about parasitic beasts is their attack speed, but the speed of movement still depends on the two legs of the host body.

——So, this guy is dead!

As for why you chose this goal?

There was no special reason, it was just because the other party had just spoken, and they had to pick a target to solve anyway. Although Xia Ran didn't have any difficulty in choosing, she was still subconsciously affected by this.

Of course, its companion couldn't escape either. The only difference was who suffered worse and died faster.

The more the parasitic beast can control the human host's body, the more skillful it will be. It will even be more perfect than the host's own control, and it will better bring out all aspects of its attributes.

But there is also an upper limit, which is the upper limit of the attributes of the host body itself. For example, the agility attribute of the host itself is a standard value of 5 points, and the original human being can only exert it to 70-80%.

The parasitic beast can exert 100% of the ability value represented by the attribute itself, but in the final analysis, this upper limit is still 5 points of agility attribute, and it cannot be exceeded by much...

What's more, this parasitic beast with the human appearance of a white-collar office worker has obviously not tried properly to exercise, manipulate, and adapt to the host's body.

So it was quickly overtaken.

Seeing that there was nothing that could be done, it didn't try to beg for mercy or roar hysterically and threaten, which was meaningless.

Again, parasitic beasts are born to be absolutely rational, emotionless creatures, basically no different from aliens...

Therefore, this parasitic beast stopped very decisively and turned around. Dense cracks appeared on its face for an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the entire head split open like a chrysanthemum, and the mouthparts filled with densely packed sharp teeth and long tentacles began to wave wildly! Since you can't escape, you can only fight back and kill the enemy!

The roaring tentacles seemed to be able to penetrate everything, at least the human flesh and blood could not be blocked, but Xia Ran's eyes did not blink. Although the battle with the parasitic beast during this period did not cultivate anything for him Fighting skills.

——After all, the left hand is fighting automatically.

But his combat consciousness has been trained. Just like at the beginning, he would always close his eyes unconsciously when faced with an oncoming attack.

However, now, he is able to face this situation without changing his expression, restraining the conditioned reflex of wanting to close his eyes. This is the biggest difference, something more valuable than simple skill improvement...
