"I know this without you telling me."
A flicker of struggle crossed Izumi Shin's eyes as he looked at the house shrouded in night, but the thought of his mother quickly replaced it with cold indifference: "I will never give up my own life before I kill all the parasites!"
Time flowed slowly as they waited for each other...
02: 30AM
Footsteps sounded from afar, followed shortly by a numb voice saying, "E, we've found the target."
"Proceed according to plan. This is your first time hunting, so stay alert. I'll be waiting for you outside."
"Can I eat all of it?"
"Yes, you can eat people other than the target, but don't eat them all, or you won't be able to walk."
With a stiff nod, the parasite carefully maintained its balance—this might be easy for someone used to walking on two legs, but for a parasite from a completely different system, it would take some practice to get used to it. Clearly, G was just a newly parasitic creature, and its appearance here was to help it get used to the way it behaved as a "human"—including hunting.
This was a last resort. In the initial decision made by the Parasites, they should not have taken such a radical action. Newly born parasites must undergo internal training to become unrecognizable to humans before they can go out to hunt. However, the appearance of the ghouls disrupted their plans.
These abnormal life forms, which also feed on humans, are extremely aggressive. They kill not only to eat people, but sometimes they will even act on their own emotions. Without exception, they harbor great hostility towards the parasites. After several encounters, the parasites realized that they had no choice but to fight the ghouls and decided to speed up the training of the new members.
“Food…” 12?IX0 No 3 Scar Flag Yin 3
Repeating these two human words, G walked straight to the closed door like the owner of the house and slowly stretched out his arm.
"crunch~"
With the sound of metal twisting, G, having successfully broken the lock, entered the room. Soon after, a girl's scream came from inside.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
"call out--"
The rhomboid "shards" sliced through the air and shot towards F, who was facing away from the house. In his haste, F avoided his head, which was his only vital point, but his body, which remained in place, was pinned to the spot by the "shards" that emitted an eerie color, and blood kept flowing out of the wound.
"Ghoul."
F's mutated head sprouted long, serrated blades, assuming an attack stance towards the approaching figures in the distance.
As if echoing its words, the masked man who jumped down from the telephone pole let out a piercing laugh: "That's right, you damned monsters."

"Ho...ho..."
Yoshida Osamu lay on the ground, staring in horror at the scene before him, completely unsure of how to react.
Imagine your sister is murdered by a stranger who suddenly breaks in at night, and her body is being torn apart and gnawed at right in front of you—what should you do?
Yoshida Osamu didn't understand, so all he could do was struggle and fall down, then watch in horror and wait in despair.
Perhaps he already knew what awaited him, but his sluggish brain was still unwilling to process anything. Whether it was the noise outside the house or the scene inside, perhaps the only thing he could feel at this moment was the constant sound of chewing echoing in his ears...
Do you want revenge?
The voice suddenly echoed in my mind.
"...Huh?"
Do you want to gain power?
“Ha… I…”
Osamu Yoshida's pupils contracted little by little. He was still unable to think, but he still retained his instincts.
Do you want to live?
"I want!"

[Do you accept blood ties?]
The current situation allowed Yoshida Osamu to consider the causes and consequences. Perhaps sensing danger, the parasitic beast buried in the corpse turned in his direction, and Yoshida Osamu opened his mouth—
"Yes!"
In an instant, a sensation like being struck by a high-voltage electric shock spread throughout my body.
The vision is flipping, the flesh is twisting, the cells are tearing...
Scalding hot, icy cold, numb, excruciating pain... It felt like he had spent a long time in this hellish sensation. However, when Yoshida Shu regained his senses, the parasite in front of him had only taken one step. Yoshida Shu subconsciously focused his attention on the area below his shoulder blade—the part of the organ that had suddenly grown out of him, which felt both strange and extremely familiar.
The next moment, accompanied by Yoshida Osamu's hoarse growl, layers upon layers of scales spread and covered his entire body along the newly formed organ beneath his shoulder blade. When G stood before him, he no longer saw the vulnerable prey he had seen before, but another, far more powerful predator...
"I'll eat you up—!!!"
Hatred mixed with desire drives the mutated monster to charge at another monster, and the battle erupts without any suspense.
Lin Yi, who had been observing from the outside, withdrew his gaze and said, "Master God, collect information on the experimental subjects. Name the third mutation mode of Virus No. 4 'Kaku'."
【Command confirmation】
—This is the real reason why ghouls and parasites became completely hostile.
As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The parasites' innate predilection for humans means they are destined to never love and befriend humans, just like the survivors who hated the culprits after the T-virus spread in World Two. The people who survived the parasites' predation will inevitably harbor great hostility towards these creatures, but they are just lacking the means and methods to retaliate. What if Lin Yi provided them with such a means?
"Change your mindset, and you'll find that many things are actually quite simple."
Muttering to himself, the pale white bones that had broken free from the constraints of flesh and blood gradually formed a full-bodied bone armor on his body. When Lin Yi turned around, he was perfectly positioned to face the person who had just sneaked in from the shadows... well, a human?

"What kind of monster is this...?"
After quickly taking a few steps back and determining the retreat route, Shinichi Izumi finally took a good look at the "creature" in front of him that was constantly emitting signals urging him to flee immediately.
In terms of appearance, it is just like an ordinary human, without wings or an extra tail. However, given its pale white appearance, towering height of two meters, and the fact that the ground beneath its feet sinks into a layer just by standing there, Izumi Shinichi could not associate this creature with a human.
Thinking of the fierce battle between the parasites and ghouls outside, Shinichi Izumi subconsciously had a thought: This Earth is becoming increasingly dangerous...
"A failed parasite."
Just as Shinichi Izumi was pondering, the creature in front of him suddenly spoke, its deep, resonant voice in a language Shinichi could understand: "What are you here for?"
Swallowing hard, despite the unfavorable timing and location of the encounter, Shinichi Izumi quickly blurted out his prepared words, considering that the battle outside was likely nearing its end: "Cooperation, I want to cooperate with you."
"Oh?"
The white creature's voice seemed to show a hint of interest: "Cooperation, what kind of cooperation do you want?"
"Like you, I want to kill those parasites. We share the same goal, so we can cooperate!"
This was Shinichi Izumi's determination. He had made it up the moment his mother was murdered: even if it meant selling his soul to a demon, he would kill all the parasites to avenge his mother and the innocent people killed by them, let alone cooperating with another kind of monster.
"A good proposal."
Quan Xin's face lit up with joy: "Then—"
"But shouldn't you express your stance first?"
As he said this, he pointed his right hand, covered in bone armor, at the arm that Izumi Shinichi had unconsciously placed in front of him: "For example, let's take care of the one closest to us first."
"What?"
"Shinichi, run!"
The parasitic beast reacted incredibly quickly, almost instantly transforming and blocking the attack's trajectory with its blade the same instant Lin Yi made his move. However, some things cannot be solved simply by blocking them...
"Boom——————"
Before his nerves could process the change in the scene before him, the force from his chest sent Quan Xin flying backward against his will.
The courtyard wall collapsed after only 0.15 seconds due to the immense force. After crashing into the wall, Izumi Shinichi rolled a distance on the ground before stopping. Urged on by Miyu, he struggled to stand up and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. Only then did he truly realize what had just happened.
I don't quite understand your thinking.
Each step the bony leg armor took on the ground produced a slight tremor. Looking up, the white monster easily squeezed through the narrow opening in the courtyard and stepped out: "On the one hand, you keep saying you want to kill all parasites, but on the other hand, you turn a blind eye to the one on your body... How can you expect me to cooperate with someone so unprincipled?"
Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 91 Parasite (Part 2)
"Cough...cough cough cough...Little Right, can't you stop it?!"
"Impossible. This unknown life form is far more powerful than us. The chance of winning the battle is less than 1%, and with your current physical condition, you simply cannot continue fighting."
"Damn it!"
Without time to consider why things had turned out this way in such a short time, or rather, subconsciously ignoring the white monster's words, Quanxin began searching for possible escape routes in the surrounding area. Just then, he noticed that the approaching white monster suddenly stopped.
"Chance!"
"Shinichi, right!"
Gritting his teeth and supporting his seemingly collapsing body, Shinichi Izumi sprinted at the fastest speed he had ever seen in his life. The white monster behind him didn't pursue; it simply stood there, silently watching him disappear into the distance…
"I thought the world's will had run out of power, but I didn't expect it to be holding back a big move."
Lin Yi scanned the dense red dots on his retina. Centered on the area where he was standing, he realized that he was now surrounded by a dense array of hostile individuals—parasites. As for the ghoul that had started earlier, its fate was obvious under the siege of multiple parasites.
"It seems that the world's will can, to some extent, interfere with the thoughts and actions of these parasites."
Abandoning the pursuit of the failed parasite, Lin Yi turned and walked towards the house: "God, can we transfer it?"
The current area's world coordinates have been disrupted; it will take 1681 seconds to reposition.
"So you mean I have to hold out for half an hour?"
[Correct judgment]
With a raised arm, Lin Yi "gently" pushed aside the wall blocking his way and stepped into the ruins and rubble. Ignoring the two terrified humans, he walked straight to the telephone in the living room.
"Perhaps it doesn't need to be that complicated."

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
"What—there are a large number of man-eating monsters?!"
The surprised voice and the abrupt act of standing up drew the attention of those around him, but Arima Kishou had no time to care and kept urging the other side for an answer.
Yes, Officer Arima, we received a report from a citizen and are currently on our way.
"I'll go right away!"
Arima Kishou, who was about to leave after hanging up the phone without saying a word, was suddenly stopped by a man in a suit. The man smiled at the frowning officer and showed him his business card: "I'm sorry, Officer Arima, the mayor has just given you instructions to attend a meeting immediately to deal with the recent spate of murders in Tokyo."
"Someone just called the police—"
"Those are just pieces of false information used by bored people to deceive others. I believe that with Officer Arima's wisdom, he won't be fooled by those messages, right?"
"..."
Looking at the man in front of him with a smile on his face but no real joy, Arima Kishou suddenly realized something.
----------segmentation----------
"Based on the fact that the World Will directly manipulated or implied this coordinated attack by the parasites, we can infer that its methods may not be limited to the parasites we have seen. Therefore, for safety's sake, we need to make some other preparations..."
He hung up the phone while muttering to himself, then turned and walked towards the two terrified humans.
"Do you want to die?"
Even though their movements were distorted and their behavior stiff, the act of shaking their heads still conveyed a certain firm will, so Lin Yi continued to ask, "Do you want to live?"
"I want to, I want to—!"
"very good."
Raising his right hand, covered in bone armor, he pointed to the "passage" that led straight out of the house: "Run! Escape from here to where you think is safe. But I must warn you that there are man-eating monsters everywhere outside. If you two run out like this, you will only be killed and eaten."
He patiently persuaded them: "So you need to let more people know about your situation. Whether you call the police and wait for rescue at home, or escape with others, your chances of survival are much higher than if you were the only two of you. And you don't need to hate your actions. You are just helping them, letting them know the truth and escape from danger—isn't it only natural for a human being to help their fellow human beings?"
Provoked by the language, the two humans, influenced by the divine power, rushed out without hesitation, shouting at the top of their lungs as they fled in a disheveled manner in a certain direction...
