The head of the Chiba Prefecture Criminal Investigation Department, accompanied by two elite subordinates, personally came to Sobu High School to find him, a seemingly ordinary high school student.
This is a drama.
Without a sufficiently convincing script,
It will probably be difficult to end this easily.
After all, even if a group of A-level parasites could use their respective hosts' privileges to forcibly suppress some rumors.
But ultimately, an official explanation that can be made public and silence public opinion is needed.
Otherwise, all sorts of speculation and rumors would likely spread rapidly, causing unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of all this, Natsume Ryo put down his teacup.
……
"Speaking of which, you came all this way today, specifically asking for my name, so there must be a legitimate reason, right?"
"We can't exactly announce to the public that you came here specifically to have a friendly exchange with me and incidentally improve police-community relations, can we?"
Natsume Ryo leaned casually against the sofa and asked in a calm and even tone.
Upon hearing this, Tanaka Yamaichiro's scarred face, which had been taut with tension, twitched slightly. He quickly kowtowed again, his voice becoming even more respectful:
"Your Excellency is wise. We have prepared a perfect explanation for our visit."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo leaned forward slightly, adopting a posture of eagerness to hear more.
"tell me the story."
……
"Reporting to you, sir, the reason we have given to the public is that intelligence indicates that several yakuza organizations currently operating in the Chiba Prefecture area are suspected of colluding with certain transnational criminal groups to engage in heinous crimes such as illegal arms dealing and human trafficking."
"As for you, sir, you accidentally stumbled upon their transaction in an accident and bravely provided crucial clues to the police, assisting us in dismantling several underworld strongholds and preventing even more serious incidents from occurring."
"Therefore, we have come here for two reasons: first, to commend your heroic act, and second, to further verify certain details of the case with you for subsequent investigation."
Tanaka Yamaichiro explained it clearly and logically.
After hearing Tanaka Yamaichiro's "official explanation," Natsume Ryo's expression became somewhat strange.
By portraying himself as a courageous and helpful citizen who assisted the police in solving the case, he not only elevated his own status and avoided rumors, but also provided a relatively reasonable excuse for the special visit by the Minister of Criminal Investigation and two detectives.
This reason is plausible and conventional, and it can be barely explained.
These parasites have certainly mastered the art of fabricating lies.
but.
"The reasoning is sound."
"But are you sure this play won't be a disaster?"
"After all, to portray an ordinary high school student like me as a key informant who helped the police solve a major case, and even to have you, the Minister of the Criminal Investigation Department, personally come forward to present the award and inquire about the case."
"Isn't this a bit too much of a show?"
"If something goes wrong in any of the steps in the process."
"It will arouse unnecessary suspicion, and then it won't be something that can be easily fooled with a few words."
After finishing speaking, Natsume Ryo leaned forward slightly, resting his chin on his hand and his elbow on his knee, his gaze sweeping over Tanaka Yamaichiro and the other two.
Upon hearing this, Tanaka Yamaichiro quickly offered an explanation.
"Please rest assured, sir! There is absolutely no such possibility!"
"Since we have dared to offer this plan to Your Excellency, we have naturally already considered all potential risks and made thorough preparations to deal with them!"
"Before your divine decree to remain in place and conceal oneself was issued, we, who had occupied advantageous positions, had already noticed that the underground yakuza forces in Chiba Prefecture had been in a relatively chaotic and disorderly state due to certain historical issues."
"The numerous hilltops and constant friction between them not only disrupt local security but also hinder our subsequent operations in this area."
"Therefore, the opportunity to trigger a gang war, which has already been defined as a gang fight, was created by some out-of-control individuals."
"We then went along with the flow and carried out a targeted operation to eliminate organized crime."
"Most of the underworld bosses and their core members who were putting up a last-ditch resistance have completely disappeared."
"As for those remaining small and medium-sized organizations, leaderless and disorganized, and the large amount of industry and land that has been left vacant as a result..."
"We have arranged for other ordinary parasites with relatively average abilities, but whose advantage lies in their large numbers and absolute loyalty to you, to gradually infiltrate them."
"If you do not believe me, sir, you may mobilize this force at any time to handle some matters that you are not comfortable to handle personally."
“We guarantee that the efficiency and loyalty of the underground forces under our control will far surpass those of those ignorant and fickle humans.”
……
After listening to Tanaka Yamaichiro's detailed report and the seemingly meticulous "Yakuza power consolidation plan," Natsume Ryo's expression was no longer calm; instead, it showed surprise.
After all, he remembered it very clearly.
His previous global directive explicitly required that all parasites cease all proactive attacks against the human species. They should remain in place, conceal their presence, and await further instructions.
—The core message is "stop actively attacking humans".
Logically speaking.
After this global order was issued, these parasites should have obediently gone into hiding. So how did they manage to provoke those human-made underworld organizations?
Natsume Ryo pondered this for a moment.
In a flash, an idea immediately popped into Natsume Ryo's mind.
……
"Should we cease all proactive attacks against the human species...?"
This is my thoughts.
After carefully considering the words that revealed the problem, Natsume Ryo's eyes flashed with understanding.
It turned out to be the case.
Parasites cannot "actively attack" humans.
—After all, he had previously issued the command: 【/parasitecommand【All parasites, cease all proactive attacks against the human species. Remain in place, conceal your presence, and await further instructions.】】
The original intention was to prevent these parasites from continuing to wreak havoc in human society and causing unnecessary panic and casualties.
This can be considered a kind of "emergency braking".
However, it wasn't detailed enough to even clearly define "self-defense and counterattack" for the parasites.
then.
These parasites are quite clever.
They targeted criminal organizations that already operated in the gray area, or were even tainted by bloodshed.
As a notorious violent organization, the Japanese yakuza are known for their members being unruly, eccentric, and prone to provoking and causing trouble.
Presumably, it is precisely by exploiting this point that the parasites deliberately provoke or lure gangsters into attacking them.
This way.
Not only did it perfectly execute the command to "not attack humans proactively," it also accurately seized upon the "loopholes" in the instructions and used them against them.
As long as those gangsters "actively" attack these parasites that have already taken over the bodies of their new hosts.
They then launch a "self-defense counterattack" and take advantage of the situation to "deal with" the other party... and then, through the violent nature of the black industry chain itself, replace its leader and quickly take control of the entire underworld organization by force.
All of this perfectly circumvented his directive prohibiting "active attacks" on humans.
Parasites vs. ordinary people.
It's simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
"Eating each other in the black."
This operation truly demonstrates a thorough understanding of the Machiavellian essence of human society: "When there are policies from above, there are countermeasures from below."
"It seems these parasites have really studied every word I said thoroughly."
……
"You guys... you're pretty good at finding loopholes."
At this point in his thoughts, Natsume Ryo slowly spoke, his tone so intriguing that it caused the three parasitic beasts kneeling on the ground to stiffen simultaneously.
Upon hearing this, Tanaka Yamaichiro and the others suddenly stiffened their bowed posture and knelt on the ground with even greater humility, fearing that Natsume Ryo might misunderstand that they were being disobedient, and hurriedly expressed their stance.
"Please calm down, my lord! We have absolutely no intention of disobeying your orders!"
“We know that only by possessing sufficient power can we clear away all obstacles for you, my lord, in the face of any unforeseen events that may occur in the future.”
"Therefore, everything we do now is for the purpose of serving you better, without any selfish motives whatsoever!"
Tanaka Yamaichiro hurriedly explained, fearing that Natsume Ryo would be punished by the gods for this.
Looking at their panicked expressions, Natsume Ryo found it somewhat amusing.
These guys have even mastered the human instinct for survival and the art of shifting blame.
But whatever.
Ryo Natsume had no doubt about the "loyalty" of these parasites.
After all, the command system in creative mode has a binding force far exceeding any oath.
All the "subjective initiative" they are exhibiting at this moment.
It comes down to it.
It is still limited by the driving force of his highest command.
Moreover, consider the results of their "indirect approach."
Natsume Ryo didn't seem to mind.
One could even say that they were quite satisfied.
……
It was precisely because of this that when Natsume Ryo saw their fearful and apprehensive appearance, the slight displeasure he felt at being taken advantage of dissipated, and the last trace of doubt in his eyes vanished completely. He nodded slightly, acknowledging Tanaka Yamaichiro's explanation.
"Since you've all gone this far, there shouldn't be any major mistakes."
"Please rest assured, sir!"
"We will never betray your trust!"
Chapter 86 Yukinoshita-san, your reaction is a bit too much.
"Alright, in that case, let's do it your way."
Now, Natsume Ryo has officially accepted the job of being a hands-off manager.
As for the internal affairs of these parasites, and whether they will continue to grow and thrive in human society.
Natsume Ryo, however, did not show much interest in investigating.
After all, he had previously prevented the Parasite Module from naturally generating new Parasite individuals through commands.
—The parasites in this world are essentially unable to reproduce through conventional biological means; their bodies depend on their hosts.
In other words, what exists now is the final stock.
Driven by their "survival instinct," these parasites have truly remarkable potential. In a short period of time, they have learned most of the rules of human society and even know how to apply what they've learned to other situations, actively paving the way for him, their "boss," and eliminating potential threats.
As long as they can obediently play their role as "tools"...
Ryo Natsume was naturally pleased to see this happen.
After sorting out these thoughts, Natsume Ryo stood up from the sofa, having lost interest in continuing to listen to the parasites profess their loyalty.
"Alright, you can handle these things yourselves. I have class to attend."
"Congratulations, sir!"
When Tanaka Yamaichiro and the other two saw Natsume Ryo get up, they naturally realized that they had been delayed for too long and dared not stop him in the slightest.
