Chapter 220 - The Parasitic Organism Department

"That companion of yours, she brazenly entered the school."

"Didn't you want to integrate into society? Then why are you still killing people?"

At the edge of the schoolyard, after Ryoko Tamiya approached, Shinichi Izumi asked directly.

As he spoke, a small, almost imperceptible tentacle extended from his right hand, observing Ryoko Tamiya's expression and movements.

Ryoko Tamiya fell silent for a moment, seemingly preparing her words. Shinichi Izumi pointed at Righty and said sincerely, "Righty draws nutrients from my body. I eat human food. That means you absolutely don't need to hunt humans, but why are you still doing it?"

Across from him, Ryoko Tamiya paused slightly, then a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Why?"

"It seems that those of our kind who failed to parasitize have even forgotten that voice."

Shinichi Izumi was stunned, and his right hand also trembled slightly.

"What voice?" A slit-like mouth appeared on the back of his hand, and Righty quietly asked Ryoko Tamiya.

Ryoko Tamiya still maintained that somewhat eerie smile.

"Spiders know how to spin webs without being taught, fish are born knowing how to swim. Tell me, why is that?"

Shinichi Izumi took half a step back, his expression somewhat confused and puzzled.

Ryoko Tamiya ignored his movement and continued, "I believe that everything in this world is following an instruction."

"Spiders, fish... they are simply acting according to instructions."

On the other side, Shinichi Izumi stood in place, his face somewhat blank, clearly unable to understand what Ryoko Tamiya was saying.

Ryoko Tamiya frowned, speaking as if to herself, "So that's it. Humans haven't received any instructions."

Seeing her look so serious, Shinichi Izumi couldn't stand it and retorted, "Instructions? Something so vague and ethereal, do you even believe it yourself?"

Ryoko Tamiya's smile grew wider, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "I say this because I remembered that clear voice, that instruction given to me, when I devoured a human brain."

Immediately, before Shinichi Izumi could ask, veins seemed to bulge on her face, her expression became ferocious, and she said word for word, "Eat and kill off the human race!"

Shinichi Izumi's eyes narrowed, feeling that Ryoko Tamiya had become very dangerous.

But just then, the abnormality on Ryoko Tamiya's face suddenly dissipated, and she said in a calm voice, "My kind are acting according to this instruction."

"Would you blame a spider for spinning a web, or a fish for swimming underwater?"

"Their hunting of humans is essentially the same."

What she called an instruction was also an innate instinct.

Not all Parasitic Organisms could fight against the instinct to eat humans. Ryoko Tamiya occasionally felt the urge to eat, but she forcefully suppressed it.

Could there be something that wants to exterminate humanity...? A terrifying guess appeared in Shinichi Izumi's mind.

Ryoko Tamiya seemed to see through his thoughts and sighed faintly, saying, "We came with such an instruction, but we don't have the ability to complete it. Or rather, we can only complete a part of it. Eating and killing off is false, reducing the human population is true."

"And the price is that our newly born race will be completely killed off by you humans."

Shinichi Izumi frowned and said, "Your companion just attacked the school and killed people. Don't pretend to be sympathetic."

"Completely killed off by humans? All I see now is you Parasitic Organisms harming my fellow humans."

Across from him, Ryoko Tamiya tilted her long neck up and looked at the sky.

Shinichi Izumi didn't understand and also looked up, only seeing a clear, cloudless sky.

After a few seconds, Ryoko Tamiya lowered her head, her voice surprisingly carrying a hint of fragility.

"Shinichi Izumi, we are actually weak creatures."

"Don't think about bullying us."

Shinichi Izumi was slightly taken aback.

Weak?

You call the ability to kill dozens or hundreds of people in an instant weak?

A sense of absurdity arose in his heart.

A monster claiming to be weak and telling the humans it was harming not to bully them. Shinichi Izumi hadn't expected Ryoko Tamiya to say something so preposterous.

Seeing Shinichi Izumi's expression, Ryoko Tamiya merely shook her head, then glanced in Kurozawa's direction and walked away silently.

In the schoolyard full of people, Shinichi Izumi felt in a daze that her figure looked so lonely.

He shook his head abruptly, and Shinichi Izumi's gaze became clear again.

"Righty, do you think what she said were her true thoughts, or just nonsense?"

Righty was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

It had failed to parasitize and coexisted with a human, so it was ultimately somewhat different from Parasitic Organisms like Ryoko Tamiya.

But if possible, if there was a way to find a balance, Righty also hoped that its kind could survive.

It was very smart, and naturally, like Ryoko Tamiya, it also knew that beneath the surface of the Parasitic Organisms' recklessness, there were already turbulent currents.

The armed personnel moving through the school buildings had already confirmed many suspicions.

In a teaching building, on the third floor, the leading law enforcement officer made a gesture. The team members behind him immediately became alert, their gazes sharply searching their surroundings.

Messy cutting marks, shattered floor in the corridor, walls covered in damage, and the large hole visible in the corridor ceiling on the fourth floor.

Everything indicated that this place had just experienced an inhuman battle.

The leader was experienced. He looked at the surveillance equipment installed throughout the school but found that all the cameras that could cover this area had been destroyed. The damage marks were from sharp blades.

"Did two Parasitic Organisms fight here?" the leader pondered carefully.

These people were all aware of the existence of Parasitic Organisms.

Because this fully armed team was composed of elite personnel drawn from various law enforcement agencies. Besides the frontline combatants, there were leaders above them with their focus here, and they had technical and logistical support behind them. They were already an independent new department.

The new department was established in secret and only had a code name.

The code name was Blade Breakers, meaning they were to break all the metal blades of those monsters.

The Blade Breakers department was specifically responsible for cases related to Parasitic Organisms occurring within the entire borders of Japan.

The people led by the leader were a small team under the Blade Breakers department. There were different combat teams in other cities, responsible for different regions.

Such elite teams targeting Parasitic Organisms, with the purpose of either capturing or directly killing them, were now being rapidly assembled all over the country, no, all over the world.

Many countries had captured live Parasitic Organisms, and Japan was no exception. Experiments were still being conducted day and night in certain laboratories.

"Parasitic Organisms will also fight and kill each other." After recording this information, the leader's body suddenly paused.

He looked at a certain mark left on the wall covered with cracks, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

"This is..."

With a wave of his hand, a lightly equipped person appeared behind him. Under the leader's instruction, the mark was preserved using technical methods.

After continuing a comprehensive search for two hours and finding no Parasitic Organisms, the team got back into the black and white truck and sped away from the school.
