The Parasyte Larva worked hard to burrow into Kurozawa's palm.
Biological instinct drove it to swim up Kurozawa's arm towards his brain.
However, in reality, the Parasyte Larva seemed to have drilled into a wall of bronze and iron. The Immortal Body possessed a characteristic of maintaining perfect integrity. Kurozawa hadn't actively controlled his muscles, but his body had reacted on its own.
Waves of squeezing force emerged, attempting to directly crush the Parasyte Larva inside his palm.
Because he wanted to keep this Parasyte, Kurozawa didn't intend to kill it.
But just as Kurozawa was preparing to relax the muscles in his palm, he was astonished to find that the Parasyte Larva had actually withstood the rejection of the Immortal Body. It was very slow, but it was firmly moving towards his wrist, likely trying to climb onto his arm.
The intuitive appearance was that a small earthworm seemed to be diligently wriggling under the skin on the back of Kurozawa's hand.
"What truly strange creatures."
Kurozawa circulated his energy, concentrating the cool Moon Breathing energy on his wrist, forming a barrier net.
After more than ten seconds, when the Parasyte Larva came into contact with the Moon Breathing energy, its body immediately shrank back.
Cold and heat both had good inhibitory effects on Parasytes.
Its abilities were severely skewed. It could easily penetrate the defense of Kurozawa's Immortal Body, but it was extremely wary of the cold Moon Breathing energy and didn't dare to touch it at all.
Kurozawa watched patiently as the Parasyte Larva scurried around inside his palm.
It moved to the lower part of his palm for a while, then to the side of the back of his hand, constantly moving, trying to find a way to drill out.
Just like that, after the Parasyte Larva struggled for about three minutes, it suddenly stopped and no longer moved. Then it slowly disappeared, as if it had merged into his palm.
At the same time, Kurozawa's gaze sharpened, and he stared intently at his palm.
A tingling, slightly numb sensation emerged.
This feeling wasn't unpleasant; on the contrary, there was an inexplicable sense of comfort that made Kurozawa want to relax his mind.
Along with it came a sense of unfamiliarity.
It was clearly the exact same left hand, but it felt as if someone else's hand had grown on Kurozawa's wrist.
Immediately after, Kurozawa clenched his fist, then opened it, repeating the action several times before extending his fingers and pointing randomly into the air. Afterimages flickered, distorting the light.
After a series of movements, the sensitivity was still the same, with no difference or change from before.
But Kurozawa knew that this hand no longer belonged to him.
Every nerve, every cell, had undergone a fundamental change.
His left hand was gradually being devoured and assimilated, becoming the place for the Parasyte Larva to mature, and then it would transform into a mature Parasyte.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
"Move?"
Kurozawa poked his left hand with his right hand.
The touch was firm, elastic, and no different from before.
After waiting a few seconds, Kurozawa didn't receive a response, as if there was no Parasyte rooted in his left hand.
"I'll deal with you later."
He looked up at the night sky. Most of the light green spores had already disappeared, with only two or three remaining, drifting and falling.
The seemingly dense cluster of spores at first appeared much sparser as the distance to the ground decreased. Now, in Kurozawa's field of vision, there was only one spore drifting down in the southeast corner, which quickly disappeared as it was obscured by obstacles.
Kurozawa temporarily set aside the Parasyte in his left hand. With a tap of his toe, he shot towards that spore at an extremely fast speed.
A minute later, he reached his destination.
On the roof of a house with a courtyard, Kurozawa's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the light green spore below his feet, which had already split open, revealing a pink inner wall.
The Parasyte Larva had vanished without a trace, hiding somewhere unknown.
At this moment, Kurozawa missed his Fighting Spirit Perception.
Once he obtained enough Potential Points, he would immediately raise his Breathing Technique to the fifth stage to regain his Fighting Spirit Perception.
The feeling of not having the ability to detect enemies was truly terrible. Many times, he had to rely on luck, like a blind man.
"Parasyte Larvae will attack the nearest human, because once they break open the spore, they can't survive for too long."
Kurozawa lowered his head and looked at the house below.
Just then, a yellow Shiba Inu in the meticulously kept, grass-covered courtyard discovered Kurozawa's presence.
It rushed out of its wooden dog house, baring its teeth and staring at Kurozawa.
"Woof!"
The incessant barking echoed, waking up the residents in the vicinity from their sleep. However, most people just frowned, rolled over, closed their eyes, and went back to sleep.
A few households, two or three, also lit up their lights. Figures appeared in the light, walking towards the windows or doors.
They were likely checking on their neighbors' situation, to see if someone had been robbed.
Creak. The window of the nearest lit-up house opened, and a middle-aged man in pajamas looked in the direction of the barking.
The Shiba Inu was barking at the seemingly empty rooftop.
After several seconds, it suddenly tucked its tail between its legs and whimpered softly, lying down on the ground.
"So annoying, this dog is disturbing my sleep."
"Tomorrow, I'll have them send the dog away, or I'll just kill it."
"What's with all the barking in the middle of the night?" The middle-aged man closed the window, grumbled as he turned off the light, and went back to sleep.
The other households that had turned on their lights also turned them off again after not finding anything unusual.
Inside the dark room, Kurozawa stood against the wall, his gaze sharp, as if piercing through the night.
About three meters in front of him, a young man stood with his back to Kurozawa, his body trembling slightly and his limbs stiff and still.
"Parasyte, I wonder how many Potential Points it will give me," Kurozawa muttered to himself.
The Parasyte opposite him had likely just entered a human host and wasn't fully mature yet. Upon sensing Kurozawa, it was struggling to familiarize itself with the body.
Kurozawa wasn't in a hurry and waited patiently.
He wanted to test the Parasyte's combat strength.
Kurozawa had watched the complete Parasyte anime series. In his impression, this creature, after parasitizing a human body and maturing, would exhibit extremely strong combat power.
No, more accurately, destructive power. The Parasyte's overall combat power wasn't very high, but its instantaneous burst of destructive power was not to be underestimated, capable of slicing dozens of people into bloody pieces within a second.
After the larva invaded the brain, completely connecting the neurons and controlling the body didn't seem to be an easy task. Time passed minute by minute. It took nearly half an hour before the young man's constantly trembling body finally completely calmed down.
Click, click, click. Sounds like mechanical gears turning echoed, and at the same time, the young man, who had his back to Kurozawa, suddenly twisted his neck layer by layer like a pretzel.
In an instant, his head was turned completely around, staring intently at Kurozawa.
The atmosphere was heavy, and a battle was imminent, but the young man's face was expressionless, like an imbecile. Only his two eyeballs rolled around, looking somewhat frenzied and bizarre.
He opened his mouth, his lips slowly parting and closing, spitting out syllables with difficulty.
Initially, it was just meaningless jumbled sounds, but within just a few seconds, the pronunciation became clearer, turning into human language.
"Hu...human...food..."
