Chapter 33 He just wanted to kill him.
A new base for courses on unusual phenomena.
Muzan Kibutsuji's attack threw the entire Special Phenomena Division into chaos.
No one expected him to die.
They clearly only wanted to weaken him with ultraviolet light and then capture him.
How could he have died so suddenly?!
He also killed the fantasy species and mutant species that he had turned into ghosts!
Most importantly, not even a body was left behind!
Even their blood and tissues are gone!
The originally packed special phenomena class suddenly became empty.
Only a small portion of the materials remain.
For example, pseudo-mutants created by injecting mutant blood into the human body.
They were not affected by this incident.
Some researchers speculate that the blood of the mutant species became impure after being injected into the human body.
It has become part of this world.
That's why I didn't disappear with them.
But these are only a small part.
Most of the materials are gone.
Section Chief Mizumura Masakazu sat in his office with a gloomy expression, rubbing his forehead repeatedly.
The losses caused by this incident were enormous.
Many research projects were interrupted.
Do you really think fantasy creatures are worthless just because they are ordinary people?
That damned Muzan Kibutsuji!!!
Thinking of all the Demon Slayer figurines his grandson had bought, he wanted nothing more than to smash them all!
Take a deep breath, then slowly exhale.
The matter is settled and cannot be reversed.
Since that's the case, let's gather everyone's strength and do our best to study JM's blood and tissues!
In addition, this also taught them a lesson.
We must find a way to modify the blood and tissues collected from the fantasy species in the future!
It must be made a part of this world!
Otherwise, if the fantasy species dies, what they left behind will also disappear.
"Section Chief!"
Just then, the assistant rushed in, looking flustered.
Mizumura Masakazu glanced at him: "What is it?"
Such a panicked and uncomposed person in the face of trouble—shouldn't we replace this assistant?
"Someone's coming!"
"Who?"
"JM!"
Mizumura Masakazu's breath hitched: "Who did you say?!"
"JM!" the assistant said quickly. "He said he could cooperate with us, on the condition that we help him find someone."
……
When Mizumura Masakazu met JM, he admitted that he was somewhat apprehensive.
One reason is because they are aware of the opponent's strength.
If the boy in front of me were to suddenly turn on me, I'm afraid no one could save him.
Secondly, it was the coldness in the other person's eyes, and the madness and despair hidden beneath that coldness.
It was like a terrifying deep sea.
Is this... how is JM in the original work?
Mizumura Masakazu was somewhat confused.
Did things change after we learned the truth about the world, or did something else happen?
Could it be related to the person he's looking for?
Of course, it's best not to mention these things right now.
Even if you want to ask, you can ask later when you have the chance.
After being attacked by Muzan Kibutsuji, the Special Phenomena Division relocated.
He wasn't surprised that Muzan came a second time.
Because that guy can sense his own blood.
But how did JM know about this place?
Indeed, extraordinary individuals like these are unsettling...
Mizumura Masakazu's heart sank slightly, and his wariness of the person in front of him increased.
But he showed no sign of it on his face.
He extended his hand warmly and said, "Mr. JM, welcome!"
JM glanced at his hand but didn't react.
He looked around at the fully armed soldiers and subconsciously cracked his knuckles with one hand.
"Click."
This action immediately triggered a stress response.
Swish-!
All the gun barrels were pointed at him immediately.
Many people couldn't help but swallow hard.
The atmosphere instantly became incredibly tense, on the verge of exploding.
Just then, Mizumura Masakazu waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to lower their guns: "Calm down. I think Mr. JM came here today with sincerity."
JM looked at him with icy eyes.
Then he got straight to the point: "I can cooperate with the government in the research and provide you with a lot of research materials."
"Dr. Kanou will also be joining you."
"but--
"I want the government to do everything in its power to help me find someone!"
His eyes were filled with a frenzied killing intent.
Looking into his eyes, Mizumura Masakazu understood.
This stems from deep-seated hatred.
The kind of person who would give anything for it.
"Is she the person Mr. JM was pursuing last night?"
JM did not answer, but his reaction to those words told Mizumura Masakazu the answer.
Mizumura Masakazu smiled and said, "We do have some leads regarding that person."
If he guessed correctly, JM probably thought that the surveillance cameras must have captured that person.
At the very least, we can deduce their whereabouts based on surveillance footage.
That's right, anyone would think that way.
That's why he came to us today to discuss cooperation.
In fact, the surveillance cameras didn't capture that person at all.
In other words, the government actually had no leads.
But he obviously couldn't tell him the truth.
On the contrary, he wants to exploit this misunderstanding to extract all the value from the other person.
"Who is he! Tell me who he is!!!"
Upon hearing that there was a clue, JM suddenly stood up.
He clenched his fists tightly, staring intently at Mizumura Masakazu with his crazed, bloodshot eyes.
The soldiers on guard immediately tensed up again.
Mizumura Masakazu waved his hand: "It's nothing."
His intuition told him that JM had gone mad.
But... who cares?
He doesn't mind cooperating with madmen as long as there are benefits.
"These are our bargaining chips; how can we hand them over the moment we meet? Don't you agree?"
Mizumura Masakazu looked at him with a smile.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "To show my sincerity, I can tell you frankly."
Actually, we don't have many clues.
"The other party is very cautious and cunning."
"So, perhaps I'll need your help."
"But I think that's exactly what you wanted."
JM stared intently at Mizumura Masakazu, his eyes bloodshot and his gaze terrifying, breathing heavily.
It took him a long time to barely suppress the emotions churning in his chest.
"What do you want to know?"
Mizumura Masakazu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous or scared.
If he were younger, he might have been terrified and even fallen to the ground.
After all, what he was facing was not a human being.
It's not a monster at all!
"Body shape, appearance, features," Mizumura Masakazu said.
"You didn't know?" JM retorted. "Wasn't it captured on the security camera?"
Mizumura Masakazu calmly explained, "360 kilometers per hour, and it's late at night."
Do you think the surveillance footage will be clear enough?
"You should know that Japan doesn't have many surveillance cameras, and many of them are outdated models."
JM paused for a moment before speaking, "Male, he doesn't seem very old to me, he's rather thin, and his height is probably around 175 centimeters. Also, he's wearing a white mask."
"Oh? Can you draw it?"
"Can."
The assistant immediately pulled a piece of paper from the folder.
Then he carefully handed her a pen.
The mask's design is not complicated.
JM quickly drew it from memory.
The assistant quickly said to Mizumura Masashi: "The protagonist of 'Darker than Black'!"
On the surface, he is Li Shunsheng, a Chinese student living in Japan, but in reality, he is an assassin for the organization.
"He often appears in battle wearing a white mask and a black trench coat, and is highly skilled in martial arts."
"They fight using grappling hooks and double-edged swords, combined with electric shock capabilities."
"Electric shock? Superpower?" Mizumura Masakazu asked.
"That's right," the assistant added, "but his ability isn't actually electric shocks, it's quantum..."
JM suddenly interrupted, "It wasn't him."
The two were taken aback.
JM said, "It's not that person named 'Black'."
Why do you say that?
"That person used a longsword, not a grappling hook or a double-edged dagger."
"Is it possible they switched weapons?"
"That black guy, his physical body is probably just that of an ordinary person, right?"
"That's...that's true," the assistant said.
"So it couldn't be him."
Seemingly recalling a scene, JM gritted her teeth and said, "That man beheaded Touka with a single sword strike!"
boom--!
A terrifying aura of ferocity suddenly erupted from him.
The piece of paper with the mask drawn on it was instantly torn to shreds, and the shreds were blown all over the room.
The assistant was so frightened that his legs trembled.
It took a lot of effort to barely overcome my fear: "Then, then it really shouldn't be black anymore."
It's possible that Hei killed Touka with his abilities, but to decapitate her with a sword...
That would be completely impossible.
After all, foodies have such high physical strength.
Mizumura Masakazu calmed the restless soldiers and waited quietly for JM to calm down.
After a while, I saw that he had calmed down.
He asked, "Just in case, may I ask? You mean a sword, not a samurai sword, right?"
JM took a deep breath and said, "That's right, a longsword. He also has a gun, one of those antique flintlock guns, not a long-barreled gun, but a pistol."
Longsword, flintlock pistol.
Mizumura Masaya looked at his assistant.
The assistant looked completely bewildered.
Huh? Is there such a character?
Am I not watching enough anime?
Mizumura Masato immediately understood, and after thinking for a moment, guessed, "It might be a disguise, like a mask. Perhaps the weapon he used in the original work was a sword."
Regardless, they finally got some information about the person JM was chasing last night.
It can sever the head of a glutton with a single sword stroke.
Without a doubt, the other party is also a fantasy species.
Although he wasn't a villain, the mask was just an accessory, but he wore it while acting.
This point itself is a clue.
The installation of surveillance cameras has now been finalized.
And it will be put into action soon.
We'll definitely find that person then!
He didn't believe the other party could keep blocking the surveillance indefinitely!
Never underestimate the power of a nation!
"By the way, do you know who seriously injured you last night?"
Mizumura Masakazu thought of something else.
Although he felt that this question might offend JM, he still asked it.
Surprisingly, when asked about the person who hurt her, JM remained quite calm: "I don't know, I lost consciousness at the time."
After saying that, he suddenly hesitated and said, "I'm sorry about those police officers."
Mizumura Masakazu sneered inwardly.
You don't feel guilty when you turn ordinary people into foodies, but you feel guilty when they eat a few?!
They found the body of a glutton under the overpass, and after investigation, it turned out he was a Japanese national!
In addition, JM just mentioned that doctor.
Do you even need to ask how it came to be?!
To put it bluntly, you don't care about their lives.
It was not about eating people, but about the fact that he himself had done so.
Of course, Mizumura Masakazu did not show it, but instead gave a slightly comforting look.
The two sides began to discuss the details of the cooperation.
Finally, Mizumura Masakazu asked, "Do you need our help to deal with that person?"
"No need!" JM refused without hesitation. "I can handle this on my own! I'll avenge Touka myself!"
Mizumura Masaya looked at him and nodded.
Indeed, JM alone is enough.
That fantasy creature was clearly weaker than him.
Just last night, he was chasing me and I was on the run.
"Before you kill him, we want to take some blood and tissue, and preferably do some more experiments."
"No! I can't wait!"
"Don't say that, Mr. JM, think about it carefully."
"Isn't it a pity to just kill him?"
"Don't you want to hear him scream incessantly?"
"Don't you want to see him used in the laboratory for all sorts of experiments?"
"I can assure you that we will conduct the experiments in the most cruel way possible."
"..." JM remained silent and did not answer.
Mizumura Masakazu smiled slightly, stood up, and extended his hand: "Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
……
One week later.
Under the dim streetlights in a residential area in Tokyo Bay.
The woman's face suddenly split open.
Then, like a man-eating flower, it opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth.
That huge mouth then transformed into more than a dozen fleshy tentacles.
The ends of the tentacles form sharp blades.
The tentacles danced wildly, leaving behind trails of afterimages.
Streetlight poles, utility poles... everything around them was easily sliced apart.
However, when those sharp tentacles landed on the thin shield, they couldn't even cause a ripple.
Instead, they themselves suffered heavy losses.
In no time, he had exhausted himself to the point of near collapse.
Seeing that something was wrong, it turned to run away.
But as soon as it turned around, a sword tip pierced through its heart.
Xu Yuan drew his sword and shook off the blood.
Parasites have an extremely fast attack speed.
The blades that the tentacles transformed into were also extremely sharp.
Moreover, because it can transform at will, it can attack from different angles simultaneously when launching an attack.
That's pretty fatal for a first-order opponent.
But now, they can't even break through his shield.
Not only could it not be broken, but due to the psionic shield's damage reflection effect, it also severely injured itself.
He glanced at the corpse on the ground and shook his head.
The parasite disappeared after it died, turning into specks of light.
But the people who were parasitized by them stayed behind.
Because they are human beings in this world.
No characters were "leaked" from the spatial nodes connecting the world of Parasyte.
Instead, a group of parasites "leaked" in.
Or perhaps, a bunch of spores "leaked" over.
In Xu Yuan's view, saying it's parasitic is not quite accurate.
Parasitism occurs when two organisms live together.
A person who can be parasitized by a parasite is already dead the moment they are parasitized.
Parasites have taken over their bodies.
"After taking care of this one, there are 2 left."
The remaining two are Japanese government officials.
Another day has passed.
Using the properties of the Ghost Cloak, Xu Yuan went to the door, killed the last two parasitic beasts, and then quietly left.
The Parasyte space node is closed.
At this point, two of the four great demons and monsters had been eliminated.
Use the points earned over the past few days to upgrade both [Basic Combat] and [Basic Movement] to the highest level.
Xu Yuan stretched his arms and let out a soft breath.
Next, it's time to deal with the foodies.
I'll also settle things with JM while I'm at it.
He meant him no harm.
He just wanted to kill him.
Coincidentally, JM probably also wanted to kill him.
