……

Natsume Ryo didn't think much about what Kurashiki Rena meant. After hastily ending everything, he turned and left the alley, joining the flow of people heading to the school building.

Nothing happened on the way, and after entering the school gate, Natsume Ryo quickly arrived at his class.

"..."

As he entered the classroom, Natsume Ryo's gaze shifted slightly before landing directly on Hikigaya Hachiman, who had been "assigned" by Hiratsuka Shizuka to the row by the window in the corridor.

"Yo..."

Seemingly noticing Natsume Ryo's gaze, Hachiman Hikigaya slowly raised his dead fish eyes, offering a greeting in the usual monotone tone.

only.

At this moment, Natsume Ryo watched as Hachiman Hikigaya sat alone in his new spot, seemingly surrounded by an aura that kept strangers at bay, appearing utterly out of place in the lively atmosphere around him. For some reason, scenes of family visits to prisoners from certain movies and TV dramas in his past life inexplicably surfaced in his mind—

A prisoner wearing a prison uniform, with a blank stare.

Although this analogy is somewhat far-fetched.

But for some reason, Natsume Ryo was looking at Hachiman Hikigaya, who seemed isolated in his "new cell."

They do bear a striking resemblance.

……

"Oh, there's no hope."

Thinking of this, Natsume Ryo shook his head and let out a soft sigh. He then ignored the prison inmate who had been forcibly "exiled" to this "isolated island" for trial by Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei's "brilliant" decision and walked straight to his seat.

From Natsume Ryo's brief glance and barely perceptible sigh, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately interpreted a sense of "sympathy" or "pity," and his eye twitched involuntarily.

"..."

After abandoning his former deskmate, Natsume Ryo returned to his seat by the window in the back row.

Never thought.

The chair that should have been empty now had a petite figure sitting on it—his newly appointed deskmate, Rikka Takanashi.

"Hey...did you sit in the wrong seat?"

"Your seat is in the back row."

Natsume Ryo stopped and looked at Takanashi Rikka, who had taken his seat. He raised an eyebrow and offered a reminder.

"!"

As a result, Rikka Takanashi seemed not to have heard the second half of Natsume Ryo's sentence at all.

Instead, he seemed even more excited by his approach, and suddenly raised his head, his left eye, which was not covered by the blindfold, instantly lit up, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"cold!"

"Something bad is going to happen!"

Rikka lowered her voice, grabbed Natsume Ryo's wrist, and looked at him intently.

"Liang, according to the contract, you are granted the right to know."

"Now I must tell you."

"cold!"

"Just last night! Having undergone the trials of fate and been guided by the stars, I have successfully regained the power that was originally mine!"

"Now my Evil King's True Eye—has awakened!!"

Before Natsume Ryo could react, Rikka raised her other hand and, in what she thought was an incredibly cool gesture, ripped off the white medical eye patch that she had been wearing over her right eye!

Awakened?

Natsume Ryo felt a slight stirring in his heart.

He naturally knew that Rikka had indeed awakened the single-tomoe Sharingan last night.

I just didn't expect that Rikka herself would find out too.

Thinking of this, Natsume Ryo originally planned to carefully observe the changes in Rikka's right eye.

Take a closer look.

Beneath the blindfold, the right eye shimmered, and even the edges showed traces of pigmentation.

and many more.

pigment?

Gold contact lenses!!

"..."

The air seemed to freeze for two and a half seconds.

Natsume Ryo looked at the eye that was almost exactly the same color as Yotsuya Miko's natural eyes.

But seeing the obviously decorative gold contact lenses and Rikka Takanashi's smug expression that seemed to say, "Look! This is my true eye!", I felt a vein in my forehead throb uncontrollably.

"The Awakening of the Evil King's True Eye" refers to this person wearing the same colored contact lenses as the one worn by the person imitating Mikoto's eyes?!

In an instant, Natsume Ryo's speechless feeling due to unmet expectations quickly transformed into motivation.

Natsume Ryo raised his right hand expressionlessly, his movements clean and swift.

A precise chop to the neck.

Boom!

"Ugh——!"

It was accompanied by a crisp tap.

Rikka Takanashi's smug expression, which had been maintaining the dignified posture of "Evil King's True Eye Messenger," instantly crumbled.

"It's cold, and it hurts!"

A crisp thud was accompanied by Rikka's unexpected cry of pain. She covered her forehead, tears welling in her eyes, and looked up at Natsume Ryo with an accusatory expression.

But my body language betrayed me; I knew I was taking up a seat. So I quickly jumped up from my seat and swiftly moved to the back.

"Who told you to deliberately mess with me?"

"And you're not allowed to fake crying."

"I have something to tell you after class."

Natsume Ryo casually hung his schoolbag on the back of the chair, pulled out the chair, and sat down.

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 53 —

—As you can see, this is already the book launch announcement!

—Thank you so much to all the readers who made it this far!

I appreciate your support.

—Although I know some readers might be worried about the plot after reading this far.

But rest assured... the author's heart and eyes are only for all of you readers who have read this far!

More modules will be available in the future.

For example, several readers in the comments section mentioned wanting to see a proper community module, as well as a "maid module".

All of these will come true!

Moreover, the maid mod, like the sword mod, is a very classic old Minecraft mod.

The author started playing Minecraft modpacks from version 1.6.2 and officially started playing mini-game servers with version 1.8. The author will never forget that experience during his student days!

Similarly, to avoid some readers being unfamiliar with the characters, items, and props that appear, the author also provided illustrations for each one.

So now——

Chapter 54 Turning Defense into Offense, Parasite Module Command Activated (1/4)

【/: Controls the parasite's natural refresh process (on/off).

【/parasitecommand【】】: Issues commands to all or specified Parasites by ID.

【…】

[For more command permissions, please explore on your own.]

Om-!

As the last notification sound faded, Natsume Ryo clearly felt that the permissions regarding the [Parasyte Module] were fully activated on a conscious level.

Having understood the situation perfectly, Natsume Ryo unconsciously tapped his fingertip lightly on the desk.

Looking at these new instructions, Natsume Ryo's gaze finally fell on the two at the very beginning.

A program that controls the natural refresh of parasites.

A global broadcast command.

These two are undoubtedly the two most direct and effective methods for controlling parasites in the [Parasyte Module].

"Although the individual strength of parasites is not top-notch, their overall intelligence should be quite high, judging from their ability to learn the language of a species in just a few days."

"It is their instinct to regard humans as food that makes them a great threat to the existing social order of this world."

"Especially the refresh mechanism. If it appears in a densely populated area without warning, like just now, the resulting panic and casualties are incalculable."

"We still need to impose certain restrictions at the source first."

"Don't mess this up for me."

Natsume Ryo quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

The danger posed by parasites is undeniable; they feed on humans.

Throughout the story, the vast majority of parasites are only thinking about the extinction of the human species.

This is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for humanity in this world.

In the first attack triggered by the module activation alone, a single parasitic beast caused a large-scale massacre and nearly killed the Kurashiki mother and daughter, as well as Miura Yumiko.

If left unchecked, who knows what kind of destruction this mod's built-in "refreshing program" would cause, generating new parasitic creatures in some corner of the world like spawning mobs in Minecraft.

Thinking that he now had supreme control,

A thought flashed through Natsume Ryo's mind.

Without any hesitation, Natsume Ryo's consciousness instantly sank into that familiar semi-transparent command interface.

The mind precisely located the command set of the [Parasyte Module].
