"I want to know if the child in my womb is a Parasitic Organism or human."
"Besides, the technology isn't mature yet, so transferring bodies will take me some time."
After thinking seriously, Ryoko Tamiya gave Kurozawa her answer and the reason for her current refusal.
Kurozawa nodded, not making it difficult for her.
"Alright, my door is always open for you."
Among the Parasitic Organism species, Ryoko Tamiya's combat strength was stronger than that of ordinary Parasitic Organisms, and her intelligence was very high. She was very good at thinking about problems and also enjoyed thinking about them.
While other Parasitic Organisms were still driven by instinct to hunt humans, she was already considering how to preserve her human identity, infiltrate human society, and was deeply contemplating the path to racial survival.
One could say she was a pioneer among Parasitic Organastic Organisms.
At least, in this area of Japan, Kurozawa believed the most outstanding individual Parasitic Organism was Ryoko Tamiya, and Righty was still a bit inferior.
As for the individual who could suppress other Parasitic Organisms and coordinate the control of four of its kind, there wasn't much special about it apart from this point.
Then, Kurozawa asked, "Since you engaged in reproductive behavior with your own kind, have you already gathered some of your kind?"
Ryoko Tamiya didn't lie and said frankly, "Yes."
"Among us Parasitic Organisms, we have a unique spiritual wave sense. As long as the distance isn't too great, we can perceive each other's existence."
"Relying on this perception, we gathered together."
Thinking about the recent surge in homicide cases, Kurozawa said pointedly, "You gathered together, but you haven't been able to form rules and constraints."
Hearing this, Ryoko Tamiya was slightly startled, then whispered, "Just like humans, there are the weak and the strong, the reckless and the thoughtful. There are also great differences among my kind."
Actually, Kurozawa was quite curious about this aspect. The difference in combat power between individual Parasitic Organisms wasn't significant, but their personalities and behavioral patterns were completely different.
Ryoko Tamiya continued, "After some research, I feel that the personality of individual members of our kind is somewhat related to their growth environment and the host they parasite."
"We first understood this world by devouring human brains and obtaining part of their memories and cognition."
"Therefore, we will be partially affected by the host's original personality. Although it's very small, combined with our own growth and cognition afterward, it will evolve into an increasingly large deviation."
"Some of my kind act simply, prioritizing violence as the primary means. Some are scheming and will set up ambushes. Others are similar to me, wanting to integrate into human society and live low-key lives."
Ryoko Tamiya's original host was a teacher. Her thinking was already inclined towards rationality and she enjoyed knowledge.
She believed a large part of her personality was influenced by her original host.
Kurozawa shook his left hand, "What about this kind? Those who only parasite on limbs and couldn't devour the brain."
Individuals who failed to parasite but survived and matured on limbs were actually very few.
Lefty, Righty, and Kurozawa remembered one more who was parasitizing on a neck. There were only these three in total.
"Actually, I think this method of parasitism is the best."
"I've been thinking about how to ensure the survival of our species. Coexistence is the best way I can imagine."
"However, it's too difficult."
"Humans have very low tolerance for outsiders, especially intelligent outsiders."
"So, living low-key and integrating into society is probably the most likely way to survive."
However, for Parasitic Organisms that have been frantically hunting humans since birth and have already attracted the attention of the Earth's dominant species, it will likely be very difficult to live low-key.
But it's at least a feasible method.
Kurozawa smiled, "Your idea is very good, but the success rate isn't high."
Across from him, Ryoko Tamiya nodded noncommittally, then suddenly her eyes became sharp and she said, "And the worst method is to seize dominance of this Earth by force."
Within the same body, for each additional individual parasitizing, the strength increases exponentially.
They rely on numbers to stack their strength, and it's not addition among themselves, but multiplication.
At this moment, Ryoko Tamiya also considered Kurozawa as an anomaly looking for a way out. With the same goal, she could reveal a lot of information.
She said, "I have created a very powerful member of our kind."
"I can't see through your strength, but in a head-on fight, you should not be his opponent."
Kurozawa leaned forward, pretending to be very interested.
In reality, he already knew who that person was.
"Goto, that's the name of my companion."
"His mind is very powerful. He can currently coordinate and control a body where four of our kind reside together."
"In single combat, he is almost invincible."
"Invincible?" Kurozawa stroked his chin.
In a certain world, the last one who dared to say he was invincible is still floating in outer space, his thoughts frozen.
Then, Ryoko Tamiya said contradictory words, "Invincible, but also very weak."
She quickly took back the flag she had just planted.
"Goto's abilities are still growing and haven't reached their limit yet."
"As long as we can use network technology to obtain the location information of human high-level officials, and then have Goto carry out a decapitation strike, we can easily take their lives."
"At that time, he will be a sword hanging over the heads of all human high-level officials."
"Therefore, armed negotiation can also be used as a last resort."
Indeed, if the high-level leaders were all living in fear for their lives, they might actually give the Parasitic Organisms a place to survive.
As for obtaining location information, Kurozawa didn't doubt the Parasitic Organisms' abilities. They were highly intelligent species that could learn a language in just one day simply by observing.
For the survival of their species, Ryoko Tamiya had indeed thought of many things.
"However, my kind doesn't trust me."
She suddenly sighed, a strange emotion rising in her heart.
If Kurozawa could sense it, he would know it was actually a mix of disappointment and confusion.
Ryoko Tamiya told Kurozawa so much precisely because her kind didn't trust her. Most of them believed humans were just food, and Ryoko Tamiya's caution was just unnecessary worrying.
Kurozawa recalled that in the original timeline, some Parasitic Organisms were dissatisfied with Ryoko Tamiya's behavior and even ambushed her late at night.
But in a three-on-one situation, where the combat power wasn't vastly different, she still managed to kill them all through tactical means.
Actively trying to kill the most outstanding individual of their own race, engaging in infighting, with no sense of unity whatsoever—based on this alone, the Parasitic Organisms could forget about shaking humanity's dominant rule.
"I can help you." Under Ryoko Tamiya's gaze, Kurozawa smiled slightly and said.
"Among your Parasitic Organisms, are there any individuals who act as leaders or similar?"
Ryoko Tamiya shook her head and replied, "My kind are independent and don't like being controlled. We can only persuade, it's very difficult to command or manage."
"Among the group, some of my kind support my opinions, but there are also many who oppose them."
"That's because they still have arrogant mindsets. Since they've absorbed human memories and cognition, influenced by personalities, they definitely have a side that is fearful." The Parasitic Organisms' survival instinct was very strong.
"How do you plan to help me?"
Kurozawa calmly said, "Tell me which Parasitic Organisms oppose you, and I'll take care of them."
If you can't solve the problem, solve the individual causing the problem.
This simple and brutal method had always been very effective.
