Chapter 33 - It's not just bullets that are fired

As expected, the battle between the two ended in a draw.

However, if Hideo Shimada's heart was not damaged, it would be hard to say who would win or lose in this battle.

"Get out of the way!" Xia Shang took a sudden step forward and threw the glass bottle filled with sulfuric acid in his hand. The glass bottle whizzed through the air with great force and arrived in front of Hideo Shimada almost instantly.

Hideo Shimada reacted quickly as well, swinging out his tentacles to smash the bottle into pieces in an instant.

"What the hell is that?" The liquid from the broken glass bottle splashed in all directions, most of which landed on Shimada Hideo's face. The intense burning sensation made him subconsciously retract his tentacles and cover his curled up cheeks with his hands.

"Don't go over there."

Just when Quan Shinichi thought this was a great opportunity and was about to take action, Xia Shang behind him said with a serious expression.

Boom!!! The intense pain caused by the burns made Shimada lose all his sanity for a moment. His head exploded, and two extremely terrifying tentacles attacked everything around them like crazy, destroying everything within two meters of him in an instant.

Fortunately, Izumi Shinichi did not step forward, otherwise he would have become a pile of minced meat.

"Use this." Xia Shang bent down and picked up a gun at his feet.

Then he pulled the trigger at Shimada Hideo, but unfortunately, there were only two bullets in the gun. Fortunately, he was lucky and both bullets shot into Shimada Hideo's body. At this moment, Shimada Hideo, who had lost his mind, did not even make a dodging move. The only thought in his mind now was to kill everyone nearby.

I saw Shimada Hideo approaching rapidly, and his strong sense of oppression made Izumi Shinichi's breathing quicken.

Five meters…four meters…three meters!

"Let's end it." Xia Shang raised his right hand expressionlessly. Only then did Shinichi realize that Xia Shang's right palm was missing an index finger.

As Xia Shang finished his words, Shimada Hideo, who was moving at high speed, seemed to have pressed the pause button. Then, countless blades drilled out of his chest and pierced through his chest, leaving his upper body bloody and his heart completely chopped into pieces.

At this moment, two extremely sharp blades were hovering in front of Xia Shang's head and heart.

Unfortunately, the distance of less than ten centimeters was like an insurmountable chasm for Hideo Shimada.

Finally, he fell in front of Xia Shang, and his body shrank and dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"In fact, the things I shot out were not just bullets..." Xia Shang half-crouched beside the corpse and took out a ball of steel wool covered with blades from his chest, "and... my fingers."

As he said this, he crushed it with one hand. Since the cellular matter of the steel wool had completely lost its activity, it became extremely fragile.

Just like Shimada Hideo's dry blade tentacles, they shattered at the slightest touch.

"What happened?" The scene just now happened so quickly that Quan Xin has not reacted until now.

"He used his ability to transfer and split to detach his index finger from his body and shoot it into Shimada Hideo's chest, eventually transforming it into a mass of many long and thin blades, destroying Shimada's heart almost instantly."

Just because Quan Xinyi doesn't understand it doesn't mean Mickey doesn't understand it either.

"I see."

Izumi Shinichi exclaimed after listening to Mickey's explanation.

"Let's go. If we don't leave now, we'll be discovered by the police who are catching up with us."

"Why don't you leave?" Quan Xinyi was about to leave, but he saw Xia Shang standing in front of the corpse, constantly creating various scars with his sword.

"Those policemen are not fools. The wounds on his body are not normal. How can we not disguise them? Besides, if you stay here, you will only expose your identity as a parasite. If I stay here, even if I undergo any inspection, my identity will not be exposed."

Xia Shang's transformation talent is more like an active skill. As long as it is not triggered, the part of his cells that mutates will remain dormant.

"Shinichi, he's right. You can't reveal your true identity yet. I'm afraid human society can't accommodate the existence of parasitic beasts at the moment."

"Okay, then you have to be careful and don't get discovered by the police." Soon, Izumi Shinichi left the scene.

A few minutes after he left, the middle-aged sheriff brought another group of police officers to the floor where Xia Shang was.

The strong smell of blood in the corridor made the middle-aged police captain Fujita, who had rich experience in handling cases, change his face. He immediately raised his gun and signaled the police behind him to be careful. The leather shoes made a sound as they walked on the sticky ground.

"Who is it?" When Fujita saw the figure in the corridor, he immediately pointed the gun at Xia Shang and shouted loudly.

"The terrorist is dead. I am Xia Shang."

Xia Shang walked up to Fujita and said, "I saw you when I was in the hospital. You should know me."

Although a parasitic beast can imitate a person's appearance, it is impossible for it to master the memory of the imitator unless it transfers the parasite.

"Don't move." Fujita was very alert. He held the handle of the gun tightly and stared at Xia Shang. He said to the policeman beside him: "Jingzhong, go and see what's going on. Is there any body of the terrorist?"

"Yes, Chief Inspector Fujita."

A few minutes later, the police officer Inoue came to Fujita's ear and whispered, "There is indeed a parasitic corpse inside, and I found many bullet holes on it. It should be the guy we are chasing."

"However, there are also many sword wounds on his body. It is initially suspected that he was killed with a sword. The murderer may have been afraid that the parasite would be resurrected, so he added some new sword wounds on the body."

Fujita was relieved by Jing Zhong's words. He put away the gun with an apologetic look on his face: "I am really sorry, I offended you just now, I hope you can forgive me."

after.

Xia Shang was taken to the police station by Fujita and asked about the details of what happened. Anyway, there was no surveillance in the school, so Xia Shang almost lied with his eyes closed, "Yes, I killed him with a sword in the end. The opponent was very fast, but because he was hit in the face by concentrated sulfuric acid before, he lost some of his attack ability. I was lucky to kill him. It was pure luck."

"You killed two parasitic beasts by yourself. This can't be explained by luck."

Fujita sat in front of Xia Shang and spoke across a solid wooden table.

"Please take a look at these documents." Fujita took a file bag from a policeman nearby. He opened the seal on the file bag and placed the dozen or so sheets of paper inside on the table in front of Xia Shang.

Xia Shang looked down and saw that they were basically photos of parasitic beasts, some sketches and some surveillance footage.

"I believe you should know about them. Their heads can be transformed into the most deadly killing weapons. Moreover, they have a strong ability to imitate and can perfectly blend into the crowd. In other words, your friends, relatives, or classmates... may all be parasites. We name them parasitic beasts."
