Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

When Kazuma saw this, he almost spit out the barley tea in his mouth.

Wasn't that psychopathic murderer from Bull Demon Kerry? Now there are copycats coming, right?

Xiangzi was a little confused when he saw this.

"Why not declare martial law immediately and make the news public? This won't be like a supernatural incident, causing widespread public reaction and even exacerbating the suicide rate in the country, right?"

It is not difficult to see from his speech that Xiangzi has learned something recently.

"The economy, the economy. If everyone becomes insecure due to the public or even martial law, and even skips work and consumption, Japan's economy will be destroyed.

It's just like why Japan doesn't have security checks on interprovincial trains. Those experts didn't calculate the extra manpower and equipment costs of even one extra security check. Just adding a few extra minutes to the commute would cost Japan tens of millions of dollars a day.

Kazuma said this nonchalantly.

"Then...then can we mobilize our influence..."

Xiangzi wanted to ask if she and others could force politicians to compromise and impose martial law, but she stopped talking halfway because this was a rare experience she had personally. There are indeed many people in the world who will starve to death next month if they don't go to work this month. Even more extreme cases are that if they don't go to work this month, the debts they have to pay off next month due to salary repayments can drive them to death.

Don’t underestimate the fact that several bizarre murder and dismemberment cases have occurred in just a few days.

However, even if the total number of such cases increased tenfold, it might still not be as great as the number caused by formal martial law.

It's not just the monsters that are problematic, it's also this deformed Japan. Xiangzi came to this conclusion based on his own thinking.

"But now, the Metropolitan Police Department might be even harder to find."

Kerry said as he looked at the TV.

"That's right. With this kind of news, those parasitic monsters should know it's their own kind who did it, and it's attracted the attention of the police. If they're smart enough, they'll definitely stop, unless they're the kind who absolutely must eat humans.

If they could survive by eating normal human food, they might hide themselves and continue to live in this world as normal people, so that their relatives and friends would not be able to find them, and they would eventually live out the lives of ordinary people. If they had no lifespan limit, they might replace a host before they died and continue this behavior.

Xiangzi felt even more worried after listening to what Kazuma said.

"If they can reproduce, won't all of humanity be replaced by them one day?

And it’s too cruel to never know anything about it in your whole life.”

Kerry shook his head.

"For those people, perhaps not knowing for a lifetime is happiness.

After all, compared to the feeling of the world falling when a loved one dies, it’s better to never notice it and live a happy life.”

After hearing what Kerry said, Xiangzi shook his twin ponytails and said, "No, to let a murderer who killed his own family feel like nothing happened to him, that feeling is truly cruel, isn't it?"

"Yeah. So, if you encounter that kind of guy, it would be merciful not to show mercy."

Kerry said that Xiangzi was right.

After talking about this matter with Shinmi for a while, they turned down the volume of the TV and discussed something that would be more convenient to talk about when Kirito was not around.

"Speaking of which, if Kirito's foundation succeeds, do you plan to invest in it?"

Kirito has always been talking about his own share of the money, and he won't ask his teammates to do the same thing as him.

"decide as things go."

Xiangzi was a little sensitive when it came to money. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she had always wanted to fill the hole her father had created in the real estate fraud herself, even if no one asked her to do so.

"I still have reservations. Compared to what we have, it would be more efficient to ask those companies to donate."

Kerry expressed his opinion.

If it was Xiangzi and Makoto, they would definitely not ask too much, for fear that she would think that he was trying to create an atmosphere that if we all donated, why didn't you donate? However, what Kerry said made Makoto feel strange.

In Kazuma's opinion, Chris is the kind of guy who thinks about everyone all the time. It makes no sense that he would not be interested in Kirito's behavior of purely developing social welfare, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"what are you thinking?"

"Rather than that, I think it's better to keep some so that when we want to save the situation, we won't have no resources."

Kerry spoke his mind.

"Oh, I understand. Kerry, you are so gentle~"

Kazuma spoke in a deliberately strange voice.

Keri glanced at Kazuma sideways and changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, I've always had an idea that might help reduce the waste of social resources."

"what?"

Kazuma asked back.

"Look at death row inmates. Since they're all going to be killed and then cremated, why don't they just send them to the crematorium and burn them there?"

"Okay, stop talking. You're almost done with the magic you copied last time. Let's go see if there's any new work."

Kazuma pushed Kerry up the stairs as if you were having another attack.

Only Xiangzi was left sitting alone in the living room. He looked around and finally sighed.

"Really? Why hasn't that guy Kiritani come back yet? Isn't it my turn to take Xiaobai out today?"

……

The broadcast of the morning news did indeed alert some of the guys lurking in human society.

There were even rare exchanges among the same ethnic group, so that some of these things formed temporary alliances.

Even cities like Hiroshima have formed underground coalitions related to Parasyte.

In a private hospital in Tokyo, an elderly man was pushed in a wheelchair to the corner of the hospital.

And several people from completely different social backgrounds gathered in one place.

"How long can you, the host, live?"

One of them looked at the old man.

"No more than six months, and I need to leave the hospital quickly. They might find something abnormal when they examine me with their instruments."

"It's okay. Whoever you think is the most reliable heir to this family can be tricked over and then the funds can be transferred to him. This way, we can use the resources of the Shigong Group at will."

"Well, we spent a lot of effort to find a host like this for you. Next, we just need to continue to use this old guy's identity as a springboard to meet some of their so-called bigwigs.

I've already investigated, and that human organization called the police wouldn't dare to search these people with identities."

Chapter 298: What are you doing with Potion 8?

After the Kengankai incident, the Japanese business community, which had been relatively stable for a few days, had another major event happen today.

The real helmsman of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Yan'an, who had been bedridden in the hospital for a long time, actually left the hospital.

Everyone had heard before that this legendary figure had become so ill that he was unconscious. In fact, many large and small companies had seen that with the three sons and one daughter of the Shinomiya family, a power struggle would definitely break out.

Even the Shijo family, which was a branch of the Shinomiya family many years ago and whose overseas scale is now comparable to that of the Shinomiya family, has already extended its tentacles in advance.

But no one expected that the old man could come back to life. According to the findings of various commercial undercover agents, he had just been discharged from the hospital and had planned to summon all the heirs to entrust their care to him, but he was the first to discover that the Shinomiya family was already on the verge of collapse.

Originally, all industries were ready to wait for the collapse of this behemoth with assets exceeding 200 trillion yen and immediately prepare to take over its various sub-industries.

As a result, this old guy came out and held shareholder meetings one after another, summoned directors of various companies in advance, offered sky-high prices to hire fighters, and sent invitations to the leaders of other major companies. He looked like he wanted to reverse the decline, which was amazing.

However, this also made the Japanese government feel relieved. After all, internal fighting among businessmen is a small matter. If large-scale unemployment and economic disasters occur due to internal fighting, and the Americans take the lion's share, they will be in trouble.

A parasitic beast gang finally found a way to parasitize one of their members on Shigong Yan'an, thinking that they could reap the benefits without any hesitation. However, they ended up being overwhelmed by this matter. The entire team quickly shifted their parasitism to the person in charge of the relevant subordinate industries. While processing documents and exploding several eyes in their heads, they also had to study economics and business knowledge.

A dozen or so parasitic beasts originally thought that they could sit back and relax as long as they became human dignitaries, eat humans when they were free, and enjoy themselves when they were busy. However, they never expected that in order to protect the share they had fought so hard for, they almost became the High Lords of Terra, and even made some members have thoughts of suicide. They had no choice but to send their own people to continue to search for similar people in all of Tokyo to join this group while they were busy.

In response to the Shijo family's long-standing request for a marriage between the two families, the Shinomiya family hurriedly agreed. If they could control the head of the Shijo family, their work would be much easier.

Because of their constant search for members in Tokyo, they inevitably had a conflict with someone in the evening of the 17th.

Next to the West Exit Park in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theater in Ikebukuro, there was no Dark World View band performing there at the moment, and the venue was in a rare state of vacancy and closure for maintenance.

A man and a dog were tracking a monster in the theater. Kirito and Shiro had been waiting for a long time after locking onto the monster. The monster seemed to have a particularly strong observation ability. It discovered the situation as soon as it was locked onto and started to escape, but it had no way to retreat in the central hall.

Kirito, who hadn't slept for two days and one night, took out his weapon skillfully, while Xiaobai held the vajra that Kirito had used before.

"Please let me go! I have never killed any human being!

There's a child at home who doesn't even go to elementary school. I could even say I saved that child! According to your human morality, this woman is not a competent mother at all! She doesn't educate her child at all. Her 8-year-old child can only write 300 words. She only gives him two chicken breast rice bowls a day and doesn't care about anything else.

Kirito did not deny this.

Even Kirito believed what she said.

Because the place where the man and the dog discovered this thing was the Ikebukuro West Exit Park next door.

There, this woman was staying with those resident girls who came with a suitcase and were willing to spend the night at a strange man's house as long as they were given some money and a place to stay. She was holding a sign that said 3200 yen for two hours and was trying hard to sell herself.

After Kirito locked onto her, he walked past the park entrance, which was lined with girls on both sides and was known as the Champion's Road, to look for her. Because he looked completely in the girls' strike zone compared to the middle-aged office workers who had been working there for years, he was almost kidnapped by a street prostitute who paid him money to spend a night with him.

But believing it wouldn't change Kirito's decision.

"Tell me the address and I'll have someone take care of the child."

Kirito's desire to establish a foundation became stronger and stronger at this moment, but his face remained expressionless.

Finally, after hesitating for a while, the woman nodded slightly, took out her cell phone, and told Kirito a string of addresses. Then she stretched out her wriggling flesh, took out a bunch of keys from her pocket and threw them at Kirito's feet, while taking a few steps back.

Kirito stepped forward, ready to bend down to pick up the key, but then he instantly stood up, twisted his waist, drew his sword, and performed a standard backward step forward, cutting off the flying tentacles.

Then he rushed forward together with Xiaobai, who had taken action as soon as the woman threw the key.

Kirito didn't react at all to the opponent's surprise attack. This was the fourth monster of this kind in the past two days.

Words, actions, even threats, these creatures will use every method they can think of to try to survive or change hosts.

"Your duplicity wasn't unexpected to me, Alien."

The sweeping pieces of flesh and tentacles smashed the plush chairs in the opera house into pieces, causing the white cotton inside to fly everywhere, creating a dazzling sight that blocked the view like a flurry of snow.

Kirito simply took a deep breath and rushed in following the scent.

The power of this monster is so amazing that even the stones it throws can have an effect comparable to that of ancient siege rams.

Moreover, his movements were extremely fast, so fast that he could use his hardened limbs to deflect bullets in mid-air.

Moreover, the hardened parts of the limbs are even more difficult to penetrate with swords and guns. Kirito has only used the Flame Nagami to cut through the completely keratinized parts that look like metal. Other weapons are basically unable to penetrate the defense.

The next moment, a strong wind blew in the room, and the monster grew eight tentacles, which kept swinging around the man's head, as if it had started a counterattack storm or a gossip reversal.

However, this had no effect. Kirito simply pointed the knife in the direction of the opponent's swing, and the monster's movement stopped instantly. Then it rushed forward and was close to the opponent before the opponent could react.

The monster had no choice but to extend its tentacles, hooking onto the second-level stands above and bouncing itself up like a shrinking rope, but at this time, the sword flashing with cold light was unavoidable.

The monster's lower human body was cut in half by Kirito's sword, and its internal organs mixed with a large amount of blood spilled out.

Just as Kirito was about to leap onto the second floor in pursuit, he noticed another enticing scent coming into range.

"Strange! I heard that guy say that the people in this park are at the park entrance. Why do I feel like they're inside?"

A man walked in across the red line that had long been knocked over.

Then, after seeing a scene in the theater, without saying a word, his head split open and two pairs of bat-like wings grew out, and he ran away with himself.

Chapter 299: Human beings are terrifying.

When he realized something was wrong, Kirito was about to give chase.

But he found that the monster next to him was not dead yet, and was still swinging its tentacles, trying to move to the third floor.

With a leap and a slash, the monster could no longer struggle and fell limply to the ground. Its anthropomorphic organs began to decompose one by one, and a faint white light floated up.

"That child..."

She slowly opened the tentacle that simulated a human mouth, but Kirito showed no mercy and chopped it down with a knife.

"Wang Wang!"

Xiaobai chased all the way out of the theater.

Unfortunately, when Kirito picked up the key and rushed to the door, he only saw Xiaobai, a dog.

"Ouch..."
