Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

The battle-hardened Sato immediately rolled over to avoid the opponent's attack, but Tanaka Koji next to him was unable to dodge in time and had his chest torn open by another Licker.

"What bad luck! Looks like I have to face two cowardly lions now."

Without any hesitation, Sato immediately abandoned the resurrected Koji Tanaka, raised his pistol, aimed at the two fast-moving Lickers and shot, while running towards the stairs.

The two lickers moved around in the narrow corridor very flexibly, avoiding most of the bullets shot by Sato, and not many actually hit them.

At the same time, Kei Nagai and Ayaka Totsuka had arrived at the isolation door leading to the rooftop.

"The door can't be opened from this side!"

After trying to open the door, Totsuka Ayaka fired a few more shots at the isolation door, and finally said as she looked at the still smooth surface.

"I've seen the design. All it takes is a hole in the lock to open the door."

Kei Nagai pushed Ayaka Totsuka aside and came to the door.

“But the problem is that there is no way to make a hole!”

Totsuka Ayaka said as she looked at the heavy isolation door in front of her.

"It can be opened, just cut off my arm!"

Kei Nagai put his arm against the wall, pulled out a machete from his waist, and chopped off his arm at the root.

"When a demihuman is resurrected, it will prioritize recovering the closest body parts. According to past data, anything beyond five to ten meters is out of range."

Kei Nagai then threw the severed arm downstairs, then returned to the isolation door and shot himself.

Chapter 77 The Licker

"At that point, the body will choose to regenerate the lost body part, and each part of the body will regenerate synchronously, so the brain will complete regeneration earlier than the arm."

After being resurrected, Nagai Kei immediately placed the broken part of his arm against the wall and continued to explain:

“In this way, the space where the arm should have been generated will encounter obstacles, and demihumans are creatures that will restore their bodies to their original state no matter what! Objects that hinder regeneration will be directly decomposed by the regenerated body parts! So just stick the cross-section of the broken arm on the wall! No matter how thick the wall is, a hole will be made!”

After Kei Nagai finished explaining, the isolation door in front of him was broken down by Kei Nagai's regenerated arm to create a hole, a hole just big enough for an arm to pass through.

"Nothing special. Every time a demihuman is resurrected, the bullets and anesthetics in his body disappear. Just like the liver converts alcohol into harmless substances, I think the black particles are just turning obstacles into parts of our bodies. Satou should have used this method to kill Nan Tianren."

After Kei Nagai finished speaking, he reached out and pushed open the heavy isolation door with a broken lock.

On the other side, just as Sato was about to run up the stairs, a licker who had been chasing him from behind suddenly stretched out its long tongue, wrapped around one of his calves, and gently pulled back, and Sato was dragged to the ground.

Another licker immediately followed suit and slapped Sato's head with one claw.

Sato also reacted immediately and fired back at the licker that pounced on him. Although the bullet hit the licker's head accurately, it could not stop the opponent from moving forward.

The licker then ripped open Sato's head with one claw.

But just when the licker wanted to taste his prey, Sato suddenly resurrected, put the pistol directly into the licker's mouth, and kept pulling the trigger until the bullet pierced the licker's head from the inside out.

The licker's body also fell to the ground.

The licker who had hooked Sato's calf with his tongue immediately exerted force, trying to drag Sato in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Sato immediately pulled out a kitchen knife from behind, chopped off one of his arms cleanly, and then shot himself immediately.

When Sato was dragged in front of the Licker, he had just completed his resurrection and immediately hit the Licker's head with the broken part of his wrist.

As Sato's fist completed regeneration in the licker's brain, the last licker was also killed by Sato.

"Ugh~ So disgusting!"

After doing all this, Sato finally got up from the ground, pulled his fist out of the licker's brain, and then turned back to rescue Koji Tanaka from a group of crimson heads.

Kei Nagai and Ayaka Totsuka, who were on the rooftop, also jumped off the building. After falling to death and being resurrected, they got into Tozaki Yu's car, which had been waiting outside the closed building for a long time, and fled the scene.

After the three of them hurriedly fled back to the safe house, the distraught Nagai Kei suddenly said to Tosaki Yu:

"I quit……"

"Huh? Wait a minute! Nagai Kei! What do you mean?"

Tosaki Yu stood up and asked Nagai Kei with some anger and confusion:

"It was you and Nan Tianren who approached me and said you wanted to work with me, so why are you quitting now?!"

"Nantianren is dead. He was the strongest human I have ever seen. He could fight the Black Phantom on equal terms with his bare hands, but he was still killed by Sato. I have been fighting to live a normal life, but the result is obvious - I can't stop Sato.

So I decided to give up my current lifestyle and go to another country, find a place deep in the mountains or the sea, in short, a place where I will not be associated with society or Sato and live in seclusion. If I am lucky, as long as I jump into the sea and commit suicide, I should be able to land in another country soon. "

Kei Nagai stood up and walked out of the safe house.

"Are you going to run away? Nagai Kei!"

Tosaki Yu's face darkened.

"Yes, I just want to escape. It was only Sato and his companions who were causing trouble, but the media turned the blame on all the demi-humans. In the end, it's all the fault of the country. They talk about morality and law, and only regard non-war as a virtue, but they don't have the ability to resolve the incident peacefully!"

Nagai Kei roared and pushed the door open.

"But if this happens, many more people will die!"

Totsuka Ayaka still wanted to keep her.

"A lot of people would have been killed for no apparent reason! Don't act like a hero just because it happened in front of you! I don't care how many people Satou kills! I only care about myself!"

Nagai Kei continued to roar.

"What do you think of life?"

Ayaka Totsuka looked at Kei Nagai's departing back and asked at the end.

"Life? The value of life is something that changes with time and place! If your mother is dying, you will definitely do everything you can to help. But if you see news reports that millions of people have died abroad, you will only feel a little sad. You still have to go to work and school tomorrow! Life is such a cheap thing!"

"You are using strong words to make sense!"

"You said I was making excuses. Well, let me ask you, today in Nan Tian Building, so many security personnel died. Did you mourn for them for a second? No! You didn't even know their names! But after Nan Tianren died, you started to become emotional! It's none of your business! You don't care! Everyone will unconsciously weigh the importance of other people's lives! You are the same!"

"But... Nan Tianren was killed by Sato! Don't you feel unwilling?!"

"What does it have to do with me?! He and I are just partners. If he dies, the cooperation will end!"

After saying this, Kei Nagai slammed the door and left.

"Kei Nagai!"

Totsuka Ayaka immediately wanted to chase after him.

But he was stopped by Tosaki Yuu who was standing by:

"Don't go. He will come back. Whenever I hear someone speak so confidently, I feel that the person he wants to convince the most is actually himself."

Outside the door, Kei Nagai was walking alone in the pouring rain, muttering to himself:

"Start a new life. Although I don't know if this can be considered a life, I'm afraid I'll never see anyone again. Oh, and lastly, let me call my mother. The Amihuman Management Association has ceased to function due to the capitulation of the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare. Besides, I'm going abroad right after I make this call, so I don't have to worry about the phone being monitored."

Kei Nagai thought about it, walked to a mobile phone booth, and dialed his mother's number:

"Hello, mom, it's me, Kei Nagai, long time no see..."

"What? You still have time to call me?"

The mother on the other end of the phone suddenly accused Kei Nagai.

"Well...I guess so..."

Nagai Kei said somewhat dejectedly.

"By the way, the TV news is reporting that you and Sato are in cahoots. Don't do this! Don't do these meaningless things!"

Nagai Kei's mother continued to criticize Nagai Kei.

"Sato and I are not in the same group. The news on TV is all lies."

Nagai Kei continued to explain.

"I think so. You studied journalism, and you don't look like someone who could do those things. So why did you appear outside the Umbrella Pharmaceuticals building? Are you hostile to Sato? Is it because of the government's instigation?"

Nagai Kei's mother continued to ask Nagai Kei.

"Pretty much. I was hired by the president of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals."

Nagai Keiya continued to explain.

"Really? You're so smart, but you always do stupid things! You're just a high school student, what on earth were you thinking? You actually went against Sato!"

"But... the president of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, Nan Tianren... is also a high school student..."

"Well, after just one week of not seeing each other, you've already learned to talk back to me! Tell me! Did that guy named Nan Tianren lead you astray? I told you when you were little, don't play with these bad boys! Look at you, what have you become now!"

"Mom! I've decided to give up... I'm planning to flee abroad and live in seclusion somewhere where no one is. I'm calling you because I want to say hello to you one last time."

"That's right. Running away is the right decision. You don't need to stay in this country and continue to fight Sato. Terrorist attacks are not something that a high school student like you can solve. But why did you call me?

Although it is a mother's duty to protect her children, when they told me that you are a subhuman, this is not something that an ordinary single mother like me can handle. Even if you call me now, there is nothing I can do to help you."

"Of course I do."

"If you knew, then why did you make this call? You're not going to die anyway. Now that you know what to do, just do it! Don't worry about your parents' feelings!"

"Yes, yes! Remember to say goodbye to my sister for me."

After saying this, Kei Nagai hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Nagai Kei's mother also called Nagai Kei's sister, Nagai Eriko:

"Eriko, Kei just called me."

"What did he say, brother?"

Nagai Eriko asked indifferently.

"He said he was off to deal with terrorists."

Nagai Kei's mother said to Nagai Eriko something that was completely opposite to what Nagai Kei said.

"You're lying! How could my brother, who is such a cold-blooded person, fight against terrorists? He must be just talking!"

Nagai Eriko didn't believe what her mother said at all.

"Your brother is not a joker. Maybe in your eyes, he is just a cold person, but in my opinion, Kei is not that cold. He is just a child who pursues rationality in everything. When he was nine years old, he told me that he wanted to be a doctor. Do you know why he wanted to be a doctor?"

"I'm so tired of hearing him say he wants to cure my illness, but that's just his way of trying to improve other people's opinion of him!"

"That's not the case. If he just wanted to improve others' opinions of him, why would Kei study so hard in a corner with no one around? Academic results don't lie. In last year's high school first-year national mock exam, Kei scored nearly full marks and won first place in the country, surpassing the second place by a full 20 points."
