In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl

　"An armed assailant has entered the building. It's very dangerous. We are in charge of the search. Everyone must follow orders, or you will face the consequences!"

　He was suppressed along with Mayor Hirokawa Takeshi.

　Everyone was brought out in different batches and their identities were detected through a sensor system. The images from the sensor system could erase non-human DNA material. In the images, the skulls of the parasitized people would disappear.

　Whenever such a person appears, special forces teammates will insert themselves into the team to separate them from ordinary people.

　Ryu lunged forward, his wooden sword piercing the parasite's heart. He then swiftly withdrew it, flicking it lightly to decapitate the creature with a swift and deadly motion.

　The parasite didn't even have time to react.

　His figure was as swift as the wind, barely visible to the naked eye, leaving his special forces teammates around him dumbfounded.

　Gunshots would alert the parasites inside the building, so Roy suggested they handle the parasites, actually because he didn't want others to share his experience.

　To this end, Roy deliberately concealed the fact that the parasites possessed telepathic abilities, aiming to eliminate as many parasites as possible before they were discovered.

　Upon seeing Ryuu's combat abilities surpass those of the parasite through the monitoring system, Second Colonel Yamagishi exclaimed in amazement, "That's amazing! These movements don't seem like those of a human."

　“We’ve already checked with the sensor system; the two are not parasites,” Hirama said.

　Yamagishi Nissa understood the implied meaning.

　Hirama only said that Roy and Ryu were not parasites, but he didn't say that they were human!

　In fact, both of them received hints from higher-ups that if they could successfully suppress the parasitic creatures, they could "invite" Roy and Ryu to their side as guests.

　In the blink of an eye, Ryu had already killed seven parasites. She had no psychological burden when it came to these creatures that harmed humans. Ordinary parasites were usually killed in one move. Even if the opponent was on guard and dodged the first blow, she could still finish them off within three moves.

　[Number of Parasites Killed: 12!]

　Roy smiled with satisfaction as he saw the notification panel. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to clear the dungeon today.

　"What are you doing? Put him down right now!"

　At that moment, a terrified voice came from inside the building, instantly alerting everyone.

　Roy glanced over and saw that they had indeed arrived. The other side wouldn't sit idly by and let them suppress them one by one.

　Bang!

　Inside the building, a burly man, seemingly possessed, lifted an elderly man and smashed him against the glass wall, shattering the massive glass structure.

　Upon receiving the order, the special forces teammates immediately opened fire.

　Bang!Bang!

　Two gunshots rang out. The powerful shotgun blast sent the burly man flying. The small steel ball shattered his heart, blood spilled from his chest, and he collapsed into a pool of blood.

　After struggling, he quickly lost vital signs.

　It's a parasite!

　Just as everyone was captivated by the scene before them, Roy said, "Ryu, kill that old man at your feet!"

　Liu responded immediately, thrusting his wooden sword into the old man the burly man had thrown out, piercing his heart.

　call out!

　The opponent's head transformed into a blade and flew towards Roy, but was stopped by Ryu. Exhausted, Ryu died, staring intently at Roy, "How did you find me?"

　"Have you ever seen an ordinary person smash a glass window with their head and not bleed?" Roy was somewhat speechless. These parasites had brains, but not many.

　The original plan was to kill the parasites one by one outside the building, but the unexpected turn of events disrupted their plans, and chaos and commotion broke out inside the building.

　Hirokawa Takeshi led a large group of parasites upstairs, forcibly breaking through. His ordinary special forces teammates, wary of his status as mayor, dared not stop him for a moment.

　chug chug!

　Just then, Colonel Yamagishi walked in, raised his submachine gun, and opened fire on the ceiling, scaring everyone into lying on the ground and screaming.

　Colonel Yamagishi said in a deep voice, "Everyone, lie down on the ground! Do not stand up!"

　The ordinary employees all lay on the ground, leaving only Hirokawa Takeshi and a group of parasites standing still.

　Colonel Yamagishi stared coldly at Hirokawa Takeshi. "Hirokawa Takeshi, we suspect you of colluding with the parasites. Please come with us for questioning!"

　Hirokawa Takeshi said, "I am the mayor, the representative of the citizens. On what law are you arresting me?"

　"This is not an arrest, but the elimination of pests, an order personally issued by the Prime Minister!" Colonel Yamagishi replied, raising the muzzle of his gun slightly.

　But through Roy's intelligence, they learned that Hirokawa Takeshi was not a parasite, but a human!

　Despite being human, he aligns himself with the parasitic species and becomes mayor by advocating for environmental protection.

　"You are the ones who are a bunch of pests!"

　Hirokawa Takeshi's face was grim. "Humans are the poison of the Earth. If this continues, the Earth will be destroyed. We need a neutralizer to detoxify the Earth. Don't you understand? Parasites are the best antidote. Littering is a crime more serious than murder!"

　His voice was strong and clear. Everyone knows that people with a broad perspective are ultimately a minority. Humans are also unwilling to sacrifice their own interests. Hirokawa Takeshi was like a scholar encountering a soldier; he couldn't reason with him.

　"Shoot! He's surrounded by parasites!"

　Dozens of shotguns were simultaneously aimed at Hirokawa Takeshi and the seven or eight parasitic creatures behind him.

Chapter 44 Successful Hunt

　"Hahahaha!"

　Facing the dark muzzle of a gun, Hirokawa Tsuyoshi showed no fear. Anyone who could mingle with parasitic creatures was definitely not a normal person.

　He was like the most sincere martyr of ancient times, dying for his beliefs, his mocking smile as if saying to everyone, "I have already seen your end, foolish humans!"

　Hirokawa Takeshi truly lives up to his reputation as someone who was elected mayor through street speeches; his eloquence is top-notch.

　Many people looked bewildered at what he said on the spot. If given a little more time, he might actually be able to brainwash a bunch of mindless believers who defend parasitic organisms.

　"Traitor to humanity, how righteous and eloquent you are," Roy said with disdain.

　In the silent hall after Hirokawa Takeshi's speech, his voice was so jarring.

　Hirokawa Takeshi looked at Roy expressionlessly. "It seems you don't agree with my ideas."

　Roy said, "The Earth will be destroyed, resources will be depleted? Can't we find other habitable planets? It's ridiculous to isolate ourselves and perish with the Earth. Civilization without humanity is meaningless!"

　If Hirokawa Takeshi had shrouded everyone in a veil of confusion, Roy's words struck them like a hammer blow, bringing them sudden clarity.

　Hirokawa Takeshi stared intently at Roy.

　The two people represent two extremes.

　In order to protect Earth, our home, Hirokawa Takeshi is willing to let parasitic organisms become the natural enemies of humans, reducing the number of humans, the top predators.

　Roy believes that even if the human population exceeds the Earth's carrying capacity, the solution should be to find more resources to feed everyone, rather than locking humanity to the Earth.

　Seeing the increasingly bright eyes of the others in the hall, both Colonel Yamagishi and Heima couldn't help but admire the boy's words.

　This directly suppressed Hirokawa Takeshi's arrogance.

　Bang!Bang!Bang!

　Of course, the argument between the two had no effect on the operation. At a command, the special forces soldiers opened fire, and the dense gunfire filled the entire hall.

　As mentioned earlier, this is a racial war.

　The moment the building was surrounded, the higher-ups assumed it was full of dead people, preferring to kill a thousand innocent people rather than let one parasite go free.

　Parasitic organisms can only transform the parasitized part, namely the head, into long arms and blades. They don't provide much benefit to the body; they are just sitting ducks.

　The parasites were killed one after another.

　Hirokawa Takeshi was hit directly by a stray bullet and fell into a pool of blood, his eyes fixed on Roy. The struggle between faiths was terrifying, like the Crusades.

　Roy had no interest in a dead man.

　Faced with the powerful shotgun, the parasitic creature had no chance to fight back and was killed one after another, which made Roy feel heartbroken. Those were all his attribute points!

　Only if he and his teammate Ryu personally kill the parasitic creature can they receive the reward.

　Fortunately, the parasite was quite resilient and didn't die immediately after being shot, so Ryu rushed in to finish it off.

　There are also more cunning parasites that use crowds as cover, causing special forces soldiers to hesitate and not dare to fire their weapons, unable to get past the mental hurdle.

　That's when it's Ryu's turn to step in and kill the opponent with lightning speed.

　As Roy watched the constantly popping-up notification panel and saw his parasite kill count rise, he felt a surge of satisfaction.

　Finally, most of the parasites were eliminated.

　Only one middle-aged man with a blank expression remains, who is also the most powerful and dangerous parasite—Goto.

　"This guy, shotguns are ineffective!"

　Goto was riddled with holes, his body and head covered in tiny holes, looking incredibly gruesome, yet not a drop of blood flowed from his body.

　"In the end, I still don't understand what you're thinking, but I will avenge you and kill all of humanity!" Goto looked at the dead Hirokawa Takeshi, and in a sense, he was inheriting the man's will.

　To become humanity's natural enemy!

　Bang!

　Ignoring the safety of others around him, Colonel Yamagishi raised a small grenade launcher, aimed it at Goto, and pulled the trigger, firing a grenade.

　With a loud "boom," black smoke billowed out, and the deafening explosion at close range terrified everyone.

　Goto appeared on the ceiling. "I'm not faster than a bullet, I'm faster than you. I judge the timing of the shot by your eyes and fingers."

　"Damn it!" Second Colonel Yamagishi's face was extremely ugly, and he was about to aim his shotgun at Goto.

　A flash of cold light appeared—it was Goto's long arm. Second Colonel Yamagishi was sent flying, his burly body slicing through the air before landing more than ten meters away, his fate unknown.

　call out!

　Goto's skin bulged out, and shotgun pellets crawled under his skin, gathering in his hands. With a flick of his wrists, countless pellets rained down.

　"—The Wind of Light!"

　Just as a large number of steel balls were about to kill the special forces soldiers and ordinary people, Ryu, who had already received Goto's information, completed the magic incantation at that moment.

　Dozens of emerald green orbs of light appeared around Liu, their dazzling brilliance illuminating the entire hall.

　At that moment, the whole world seemed to stand still.

　A hint of astonishment appeared on Goto Koi's usually expressionless face, as if ancient humans were seeing flames for the first time and thinking it was a divine miracle.

　His biological instincts told him that there was a deadly danger!

　Without hesitation, Goto hardened his entire body, but his lower back was a vulnerable spot, and the attack range of the emerald green orb covered his entire body!

　boom!

　The ball of light from the Wind of Light soared upwards, destroying all the steel balls and blasting Goto away along with them.

　Goto was blasted by the emerald green orb, bleeding profusely, half his body gone. His eyes were filled with terror as he looked at the elven girl, and he fled outside in a disheveled state.

　He ran head-on into Roy, who was holding a flamethrower.

　Roy grinned maliciously, aimed the flamethrower at Goto, and pulled the switch. A torrent of flames erupted, instantly engulfing Goto's figure.

　thump!

　Goto was utterly horrified. In his shock, all the parasites inside his body went out of control and broke free from his command tower's control, leaving him completely in the dark.

　Its steel-like body crashed heavily to the ground.

　The rest is simple.

　Ryu rushed forward and, in no time at all, dismembered Goto's body, cutting it into countless pieces.

　But the other party is still alive!

　The body tissues slowly crawled in one direction, and everyone had no doubt that if they gathered together, the bulletproof monster would be fully revived.

　Its tenacious vitality is terrifying!

　Ryū was about to cast the spell again when Roy stopped him, patting the flamethrower in his hand and saying, "This thing is almost as good as magic."

　Roy pulled the switch, and flames erupted again, burning the body tissue on the ground to ashes.

　Until the notification panel appeared, Roy was certain that the extremely resilient parasite was dead beyond any doubt!

　[Congratulations on successfully hunting down the strongest parasitic creature, "Goto," and gaining 1200 attribute points!]
