Eleven o'clock in the evening, one thousand meters above Sunspear.
A blond boy sat on a large bone-white bird that was constantly circling. Within the crooks of his legs and in his hands were clay sculptures of different animal shapes: spiders, grasshoppers, birds, goldfish, flying dragons, and even his own
Scaled down version——
Wearing a fire cloud robe, a high golden ponytail, an arrogant smile on his face, and a slightly cunning monocular on his left eye.
"With these, it's enough to deal with that guy, um... no, I forgot about it!"
The young man put the finished clay sculptures into his two pockets. Then he remembered that he was not alone, so he quickly turned his head and looked behind him.
"It's so embarrassing! Every time I prepare for an art show, I'm so focused that I forget that there are others waiting for me... Huh? Brother Scorpion, why do you have so many hands?"
"..." The middle-aged hunchbacked masked man who stretched out six mechanical arms from his Huoyun robe to repair parts glanced at him coldly.
"Didn't that guy Hei Jue tell you what I do before he asked you to act with me?"
"He only said that I will definitely have an appetite for you, nothing else. I also think it is more interesting to explore by myself? What, Brother Scorpion, don't you look down on my art?"
"The firecrackers set off during the festival in this city are more interesting than these boring toys. As for the appetite..."
Xie lowered his eyes, and his gloomy voice sounded like it was squeezed out by machine friction.
"This is my first mission, and it was a waste of my time. If Kakuzu hadn't thought your bounty wasn't high enough, and it wasn't cost-effective to kill you now, your head would have been placed in the morgue of the money exchange."
"But haven't the heads of all the gold exchange offices in the Fire Country fallen into your subconscious sand manipulation technique and turned into your spies?"
Deidara didn't feel dissatisfied at all when a person who had never seen him perform belittled his art, because most people had a similar reaction - however, when they had seen with their own eyes the magnificent sight that explosions can bring,
The contrast that followed satisfied him the most.
"Just let them raise as much money as they want. Thinking of exchanging the lives of your companions for gold will ruin the reputation of the organization, right?
"No wonder there are only a few people in Akatsuki. It's hard to say whether the leader is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, but at least his organizational skills are far worse than that of the old man Onoki."
"That makes some sense. However, my patience is really about to run out."
The metal tail behind Scorpion began to swing uncomfortably, "The order I received is to watch you personally deal with the three Iwa ninjas who have been pestering Kakuzu. You have been delaying action because you can't bear to treat your fellow villagers.
Will a born ninja take action?"
The three Iwa nin he was talking about were naturally the three jounin Kuroiwa, Hongchao and Huangjie who met Muichiro in the gold exchange before.
"How is that possible? There are so many ninjas in Iwa Ninja Village. If it were Uncle Loess, I might let him go. But I have never even met these three, so why would I care about their lives?"
Deidara gave the answer without hesitation, "Besides, you were so active when you asked me to join a month ago, and now you are starting to consider my loyalty, um... isn't it a bit too late? Besides, I joined
I made it very clear at that time..."
"Huh?" Xie noticed that the other party's voice was trembling slightly, so he raised his eyes to look at this junior, and then realized that this child's face was full of strange persistence and madness.
"The reason why I chose to leave Iwa Ninja Village was to kill that bastard Uchiha Giyuu!"
Judging from the throbbing blood vessels on his neck, Deidara's hatred for this man was an order of magnitude greater than his negative feelings for Ohnoki multiplied by 100 times.
He still remembers the scene when he woke up from the genjutsu that morning and found himself hanging on the railing of the Iwa Ninja Hospital, with people around him pointing at him.
Being possessed by the Sharingan's genjutsu, bringing Uchiha, whom Iwa Ninja hated the most, into the base camp was already a great shame and humiliation.
What was even more embarrassing was that he had tens of thousands of Fire Country currency in his pocket, as if Uchiha Giyuu had bribed him with these small amounts of money.
At first, Deidara was puzzled as to why Uchiha Giyuu didn't kill him and instead gave him money.
But soon, Deidara heard the only reasonable speculation from the Third Tsuchikage.
"Rejoice, Uchiha Giyuu doesn't regard you as an equal enemy to him at all.
"In his eyes, you are just like a kitten, puppy or child. If a puppy barks at him on the roadside, he will beat the dog to death. It will make him look very small, won't it?"
Deidara still remembers that the old man shook his head helplessly as if he had been there before: "This money is just enough to pay for a C-level escort mission, so just think of it as the 'travel expenses' he gave you.
"Deidara, from now on, I will not force you to learn Dust Escape again, and you should not use this as an excuse to cause trouble for that person again.
"Unlike his ancestor who liked to play with prey, he would never give the same person a chance to antagonize him for a third time."
That was the first time in Deidara's life that he saw such a look on the face of the stubborn old man who refused to admit defeat - not even the last time Iwa Ninja killed and injured thousands of people because of Uchiha Shisui.
It was as if some kind of trauma Ohnoki had experienced before was suddenly activated.
After that conversation, Onoki did not see Deidara for five months, nor did he send anyone to interfere with his artistic research. He even allowed Deidara to set aside a large piece of wasteland outside the village as a site for explosive experiments.
Deidara is free.
Although his goal of "assassinating" Uchiha Giyu was achieved, he was not happy at all. Even his exploration of art lost a lot of fun because of the lack of previous restrictions and tension.
What's more, Deidara understood one thing deeply: his freedom was not won by his own strength, but by the unintentional charity of Uchiha Giyu——
Ohnoki no longer restricted his freedom because he was afraid that he would be killed if he went to Uchiha Giyu for similar reasons.
With this idea in mind, during these five months, Deidara had a profound understanding of "why a person, despite having everything going well, still lives like a year, and life is worse than death."
That strong sense of humiliation continued to intensify under the influence of puberty, so much so that he would see those purple-red eyes even in his dreams!
A peer with whom he had spoken less than five sentences and fifty words in total became a steel bar stuck in his mind.
Therefore, in order to regain his life, Deidara began to study the extremely boring dust escape without supervision, hoping to exhaust himself with this annoying knowledge and seize the brain occupied by those memories.
But he didn't expect that things would take a turn of events, and Deidara accidentally encountered something by mistake.
Through his research on Dust Release, he inadvertently developed a C4 bomb that was invisible to the naked eye - a new art capable of destroying matter at the molecular level.
After inventing C4, Deidara excitedly went to see Onoki and vowed that he would be able to defeat Giyuu Uchiha this time, but was told by the old man that the Iwa Ninja Village was about to hold the Chunin Exam to ease the relationship with Konoha.
, he planned to ask Uchiha Giyu to be the examiner for one of the games, so he would never allow Deidara to act arbitrarily in front of the daimyo of various countries, and with the same attitude towards jinchuriki, he sealed Didara's chakra and locked him up.
Nearly a month ago, when Deidara was extremely angry, aggrieved and helpless, Akatsuki HR Black Zetsu, who had let him go once due to the Uchiha Shisui incident, once again sneaked into the room where Iwa ninja was holding him.
.
The first thing the guy said was: "Join us and I will let you out and give you the opportunity to kill Giyuu Uchiha with your own hands. He is an enemy that our organization must eliminate."
Deidara agreed without hesitation.
It doesn't matter that you are not free anymore. It's enough to know that there is someone who hates that person and those eyes as much as you do, and wants to destroy that guy at all costs.
"So, you are not waiting for those three Iwa ninjas."
Hearing Deidara's declaration, the Red Sand Scorpion suddenly understood, "You are waiting for the person who has something to do with him, that brat named Guideng Suigetsu."
The relationship between Oniden Suigetsu and Uchiha Giyuu was information that the White Zetsus had managed to obtain with great difficulty, and the outside world knew nothing about it. It seems that before this mission, Zetsu told Deidara a lot of things, and deliberately caused them to encounter
.
"That's right. I made a special trip to the hotel where they stayed, knowing that they would definitely leave the city at night. And that was my chance to take action."
Deidara took out a special telescope and hung it on his left eye, looking down with confidence, "It just so happened that the three Iwa ninjas regarded them as official members of the Akatsuki organization, and hired bounty hunters to kill those few
Arrest the little heretics. So, why don’t we catch them all at once? The more viewers there are, the better the performance will be, right?”
"With your explosion, what can you do to a guy with the art of water transformation?"
The attribute restraint between ninjas is difficult to overcome.
Even with decades of experience in fighting enemies, Xie didn't think he could subdue a Ghost Lantern tribesman without installing electrified weapons. If he only relied on some explosives, he would have no chance of winning.
"Well... I'll keep this a secret for the time being. If I tell you now, there will be less surprises."
Deidara put his hands into his pocket and gently stroked his own clay sculpture of the same style, "Anyway, I must take this opportunity to let Uchiha Giyuu understand what happened to me when he underestimated me, and let him experience the consequences of being beaten by others.
What a pain it is to occupy the whole heart.”
The more Deidara's words sounded, the more they sounded like lines reserved for villains in romantic dramas.
"..." Xizhi responded in silence, not knowing where to start.
It can actually be judged from the previous conversation that these two art lovers met for the first time today, and it was also the first time they collaborated on a mission organized by Akatsuki.
The two of them were not familiar with each other's abilities in the past——
Deidara didn't care much about things other than art, so much so that he didn't even know the abilities of the Sharingan, the first blood successor in the ninja world.
As for Deidara's information, Scorpion also had a rough understanding of it after he came to the money exchange and made up some information.
But to be honest, just the fact that his famous name Deidara didn't know anything about it made him a little unhappy.
But when he thought that this stupid young man actually dared to challenge Uchiha Giyuu to a duel, he felt that there was no need for him to be unhappy about this trivial matter.
What's more, to a certain extent, Scorpion can understand Deidara.
The artist always admires and hates something more powerful than himself at the same time.
Some people want to destroy the shadow that weighs on their heads, while others want to keep that thing in a perfect state forever. Deidara and him happen to be at the left and right ends of this spectrum.
The Red Sand Scorpion was defeated by Konan with absolute attribute restraint and was forced to join the Akatsuki organization. He has always been in love with Konan's body. Only such a unique person is qualified to be made into the most treasured top grade by him.
, preserved permanently.
Thinking of this worry, Scorpio stopped talking.
While he was repairing his puppet, he was wondering whether he should give Xiaonan some face and let go of those "heretics of the former Akatsuki organization".
To be honest, since the Akatsuki organization moved out of the Rain Country and the person in charge of money became Kakuzu, his treatment has become worse day by day.
I think back then, when the lavish Xiaonan made the decision, his research funds were much more than they are now...
More importantly, although it seems that Payne is still in charge of the Akatsuki organization, Scorpion has not spoken to Payne in person for several years.
In the past few years, the unknown person named "Biruhu" has gradually become a core figure in Akatsuki because of his research on the shark that dried persimmon Kisame. Old people like him and Kakuzu have gradually become marginalized.
【It’s also time to think about what’s next.】
"Brother Scorpion, they are coming out."
Deidara's excited shout pulled Scorpion out of his thoughts.
"Get ready for action." The Red Sand Scorpion retracted the parts neatly, and the sound of tightening screws came from under the black robe.
"Stay closer and confirm the target."
Deidara controlled the clay bird to swoop three to four hundred meters. From this distance, his telescope was enough to see clearly the lips of the target below.
Scorpion's eyes also come from advanced puppetry craftsmanship and can easily see things hundreds of meters away.
"There are five people, three of them are wearing robes similar to ours, um... there is actually a pair of... twins?"
[That hair color... one is green and one is purple. The purple one's expression and Xiaonan...]
Xie also saw the Tokito brothers, and he murmured softly, "Very similar."
"Sure enough, the calculation was correct," Deidara continued to scan the surroundings, "The three rock ninjas and a group of bounty hunters were also waiting in a dark corner near the hotel early. After turning on the infrared function, their positions were in front of me.
It’s very clear in my eyes.”
As he spoke, Deidara controlled the big bird to fly directly above the ambushers, took out a few pieces of clay the size of table tennis balls from his pocket half a kilometer away, and threw them down.
【do what?】
Scorpion observed carefully and found that as the spherical clay fell in mid-air, it continued to grow its head, abdomen and eight slender legs. The original free falling movement instantly turned into conscious fluttering.
"It's interesting..." Scorpio rarely gave a favorable comment.
Deidara smiled proudly, formed seals with his hands, and controlled the clay to fall like feathers behind the wall where the ambushers were hiding, silently crawling on their clothes like real spiders.
"C1 level clay spiders. Because of the similar nature of chakra, the Iwa ninja will hardly be able to sense their presence. When I get there, I will detonate these little guys and get rid of the three jounin first. I am ready.
So many works are not left to them."
It seems that the only person he has in mind right now is Gui Deng Shui Yue.
At this moment, Deidara snorted softly, as if he was surprised: "Huh?"
"They're going to split up."
Xie noticed that the five people and one bird were divided into three groups, each leaving in different directions.
The ambush Iwa ninjas and bounty hunters were immediately divided into three groups of 3-5-5, each following Shiro and Ginko, the Tokito brothers and the Fierce God duo.
"When you inquire about their plans, you should listen carefully." Xie educated, "It seems that your ninja literacy is still far behind."
A veteran like him would never make such a stupid mistake.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I can sense the spider's position, and I'll just chase it when the time comes."
After that, Deidara planned to change the direction of the big bird and prepare to follow the ghost lamp and water moon, but the red sand scorpion stopped him resolutely.
"Wait."
"What? What's going on?"
Deidara could no longer contain his urgency, and his tone became increasingly impatient.
"there."
Deidara looked in the direction pointed by the scorpion's tail, his pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately raised the height of the giant bird, "They can also fly?"
The ones Xion pointed at were none other than the Shitou brothers.
Tokiro Ichiro, who was unable to do anything, was held in the arms of his younger brother who "had" huge paper wings. He was suspended more than eighty meters in the air, and he let out weird roars from time to time.
"Go over there! It's on the right hand side of the big clock."
Tokitō Ichiro unfolded the map that Shiro had marked not long ago in his hand, pointed at the brightest place in Sunspear City, "Fly!"
Muichiro nodded, and flew away like a helicopter lifting an ambulance, neither too fast nor too slow.
"What is that? Paper escape? Or some kind of secret technique?"
Deidara had never seen such a technique before. He was a little curious at first, but turned around and lost interest. "Forget it, let's find that shark tooth boy first. It's not too late to deal with these guys later."
"No, follow them."
Even though his body had long since become a machine, the Red Sand Scorpion's voice still showed an uncontrollable desire.
"Gui Deng Shui Yue can wait. But once these two people escape, it will be difficult to catch up."
"Just run away. They were not among my mission targets in the first place." Deidara looked at his companions who had just known each other for less than a day in confusion, "Or do you have any personal grudges with those two brats, brother?"
"Well."
Scorpion was silent for a moment.
He originally wanted to find some high-sounding words to force Deidara to do what he said in the name of the Akatsuki Organization, but in the end he decided to tell the truth as an artist.
"The kid who can manipulate paper is a rare and perfect collection."
That's right, what Scorpio couldn't forget after just one glance was Muichiro's body!
Xiaonan has always been Scorpio's most desired collection.
Not only because Scorpion joined the Akatsuki organization after being defeated by her, but also because the opponent's world-weary expression was like a doll when he was alive, as well as the mysterious and changeable magic changes, which were far more beautiful than the Third Kazekage.
He once euphemistically proposed that he would inherit Xiaonan's body after her death, but as expected he was rejected. However, he couldn't fight and could only wait for her to be killed by someone else one day.
It is a pity that after so many years, Xiaonan has not been able to wither at the most perfect age. As she gets older, as a collection, she has developed some flaws that are difficult to ignore.
To this day, when he sees that unique, empty beauty that does not belong to this world and transcends time, is also reflected in Muichiro Tokitou, Scorpio understands that he has finally been given a second chance.
"He looks like he was born just to be used as a human puppet!"
Seeing that Deidara was still hesitating, Xia said something that only a top-notch artist could understand, "I must present his most essential appearance, so that you will understand what eternal art is!"
"Hearing what you said, I did become somewhat interested."
Sure enough, Deidara was moved by this wording that ordinary people could not understand.
That guy Hei Jue brought the two of them together, and it certainly wasn't random.
Deidara remembered the master who taught him sculpture when he was a child, pointing at the marbles and saying, "I'm not carving them, but releasing their true forms."
This statement is very similar to what Scorpion said.
"Then let's deal with these two brats first. Then wait for them to get to a remote place and deal with them quickly, and then go find the trouble of the shark tooth. But if something happens then, Brother Scorpion, you will also
You can’t sit back and watch..."
Deidara himself was not completely confident about how well C4 could perform against the Hydration Technique.
"no problem."
So, the two of them decided on an itinerary, and the big bird flew high into the sky, tracking the Tokito brothers' movements from a distance.
below.
Tonight, Muichiro and Ichiro were responsible for destroying the inventories of customers who had purchased seafood from the Land of Waves in bulk.
And these people who can afford 8,000 yen a pound of seafood are naturally not ordinary people - they either live in suburban manor areas, or they are purchasers of high-end restaurants and entertainment venues in the city center.
It was already late at night, and most of the high-end restaurants had closed. Muichiro landed directly on the roof of a three-story building next to the clock tower. There was a small door leading to the lower restaurant.
"How to get in?" Ichiro was on a mission for the first time and knew nothing about illegal intrusions. "How can I get in through the window?"
"There are many rich people around here, and they have many ninja guards around them. It's best not to make too much noise."
Muichiro shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the door. The iron door was covered with hoarfrost in just a few breaths. Then he poked his fingertips forward casually——
There were only a few clicks, and the iron door shattered to the ground like ice cubes. However, Muichiro used the papers to overlap each other as a backing board, so no obvious noise was made.
"What principle is this?" Ichiro was amazed, "I don't remember Sister Butterfly ever teaching you?"
"I don't know why this is the case." Muichiro shook his head, "But I heard Ginzi read a newspaper before and heard that there was a huge ship in the UK with an awkward name. It was because the steel shell was brittle by the cold sea water that it hit an iceberg.
It's sinking."
"That's amazing, let's go." Ichiro shook his head and got in the door first, looking around, "Loot all the inventory in this restaurant!"
"Don't say such things..." Muichiro followed and disappeared in two or three seconds, "We are here to do business."
After the Tokito brothers disappeared, the five followers came to the roof, but did not follow them inside.
"One has the limit of blood inheritance? The other knows some kind of secret technique?"
The leader, Heiyan, glanced solemnly at the frosted broken iron door, re-evaluated the strength of the twins, and finally decided not to take action in this small space, and ordered the bounty hunters to hide in the shadows of other surrounding buildings.
, monitor the various exits of this grand hotel and look for more suitable opportunities.
Three minutes later, the Tokito brothers walked out from the roof and jumped to the next restaurant, repeating this strange intrusion. The only difference was the food Ichiro was holding when he left the restaurant.
.
"So, what on earth are they doing..."
Deidara in the sky felt more and more confused as he watched, "Didn't they just replace billions of detonating talismans this afternoon? They can't even afford food and want to steal food from the restaurant, right? Or, this
What is there in the restaurant that makes these heretics worth remembering?”
"..." Xie didn't answer immediately. After a few seconds, he said, "We'll know everything when we catch them."
In this way, after the Shitou brothers visited the kitchens of all the high-end restaurants in Sunspear, they finally spread their paper wings again and flew to a mansion in the villa area on the outskirts of the city.
Now, both the bounty hunter and the artistic duo knew that the opportunity to take action was coming.
"It's so beautiful."
A minute later, Ichiro stood in the splendid living room and exclaimed: "I didn't expect such a big house to be just one family. Isn't this too luxurious? The area occupied by this house alone is almost
It’s half the size of the village at the foot of our mountain…”
"Please keep your voice down." Muichiro reminded: "This is not a mountain. Everything has its owner. Don't touch it casually."
"If you don't touch it, don't touch it." Ichiro, who was just about to pick up the crystal ashtray on the coffee table and play with it, snorted coldly, "You go check on this family's physical condition, and I'll get rid of the seafood in their refrigerator."
Muichiro, who finally realized how hard it was to take care of a child, shook his head silently and went upstairs to the family's bedroom.
On the other side, Ichiro wandered around for a while and easily found the bright and spacious kitchen with the lights on. There were four gas stoves alone, not to mention more than a dozen large pots of different shapes.
In addition, there is a double-door refrigerator in the kitchen, and a high-end-looking silver freezer standing in the corner.
The moment he opened the freezer door, Ichiro was shocked by the abundance of fish, shrimps and crabs inside: This family's inventory was actually more than those restaurants combined!
"What should we do now?" Ichiro put his hands on his hips and thought, glanced at the metal pots, and slowly shook his head, "I can't find a large enough container, and it can't be placed directly in the freezer. If it causes an explosion,
That's too bad... Well, let's look elsewhere?"
He opened the freezer door and searched around the mansion, trying to find a huge non-metal container. Finally, in the corner of the bathroom on the third floor, he saw a triangular bathtub occupying half of the room——
Rather than a bathtub, it would be more appropriate to call it a children's swimming pool.
"That's it!"
Ichiro clapped his hands fiercely, immediately returned to the kitchen, used two blank storage cards to move the seafood away, and then moved it into the bathtub.
Then, he took out more than a dozen buckets of half-meter-high bone containers and kicked them into the pile of seafood one by one, letting the green mucus flowing out from them spread throughout the gaps in the seafood.
The bone container was a bucket made by Genmi using corpse bone veins; and the green mucus inside was the strong acid spit out by the live dragon that responded to Muichiro's summons in the hotel. Ichiro had tried it with Shiro's shuriken before.
When metal comes into contact with this acid, it will immediately melt into a jelly-like substance.
Only by destroying seafood at the cellular level can Muichiro truly feel at ease.
This kind of acid is deliberately prepared by live dragons and will not corrode the bucket made by Genmi. Therefore, in the kitchen of some restaurants before, Ichiro would directly soak the seafood in the bucket to dissolve it, but this time the amount was really
Too much.
"It stinks so much."
As soon as the green mucus came into contact with the seafood, billowing white smoke immediately erupted.
Ichiro was just a clone and had no so-called respiratory organs, but he did have the basic five senses. He was almost melted by the indescribable stench.
He had no intention of paying attention to the details of the melting of the seafood. He closed the bathroom door and hurriedly left the third floor, but he happened to find his brother in the room downstairs from the bathroom.
Muichiro stood in front of the bed of the family's fifteen or sixteen-year-old daughter, staring quietly.
Ichiro walked in quietly, followed Muichiro's line of sight, and his expression immediately became subtle.
"Hey, why are you always staring at this sister's legs?" he asked in a low voice.
The first half of the sentence still sounded a bit accusatory, but the second half of Ichiro's sentence immediately changed: "Only you can see it, so this is not good."
Wuichiro glanced at his brother speechlessly: "Do you really want to know what I saw?"
"So," Ichiro said overjoyed, "are you finally willing to share this vision with me?"
"At least it will stop you from being interested in similar things in the future."
Muichiro raised his fist, with a little helplessness on his face, but there was also a hint of schadenfreude, as if he was looking forward to his brother's expression, "Come on."
"Then you're welcome!" Ichiro extended his fist to touch his brother with anticipation, "This is a good brother!"
But after this touch, his eyes suddenly bulged, and his beautiful little face immediately became even more distorted than that of an Innsmouth man. His body also seemed to have been punched, and he fell to the ground on all fours, "yue"
He made a sound and knelt down, as if he wanted to vomit out his soul.
The girl lying on the bed was about to be awakened by strange noises. Muichiro hurried over and gently touched the side of the girl's neck, and the girl immediately fell asleep again.
However, the clone is just a clone after all and does not have a real stomach, so Ichiro recovered from the nausea very quickly, but the psychological shadow may take a long time to recover.
"Muichiro, what on earth is that thing I saw just now?"
He wiped the corners of his mouth, and when he looked at the girl, his expression showed no hint of teenage frivolity, only unspeakable fear.
"It should be the worm group that Shinobu-senpai mentioned."
Muichiro replied.
"Everyone has dozens or hundreds of parasites in their body. However, because this person has been eating seafood for a long time, there are fewer parasites in his body than ordinary people. This is just because the internal organs are in direct contact with Hidan's cells, and the environment there
It is not suitable for them to survive, so these bugs are transferred to the legs through the blood circulation, and they live there in groups like building nests.
"However, if she continues to eat like this, sooner or later one day, let alone parasites, not even bacteria will be able to survive in her body."
"You mean, each of us has much more of this kind of thing than she does?"
Ichiro's mind turned around: "So, if you just eat these seafood in moderation, there will be benefits? For example, if you eat them until there are no parasites all over your body, you will stop eating them..."
Muichiro was not so optimistic: "While eliminating the parasites, Hidan's cells also gave them an unusually strong body and beast-like aggression. When she lost all the flaws of being a human, she was no longer a human."
By that time, wouldn’t the cells themselves have become another parasite?”
"Hey, I suddenly don't want to be in a normal person's body. It feels good to be like me."
For the first time, Ichiro felt that he could get by without a human body: "Muichiro, you just looked at it for so long, and you didn't feel sick at all?"
"The bugs on the corpse are much uglier than these." When Muichiro's eyes passed over Ichiro's face, a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.
"Ah..." Ichiro instantly understood what Muichiro was referring to, and he lowered his head sadly, "It seems that I, a brother, deserve it, and I actually mentioned something that made you sad."
"It doesn't matter." Wuichiro smiled gently, "Because you are here now... hmm? What does this smell like?"
"It seems a bit familiar." Ichiro sniffed, and the two brothers looked up together, and were surprised to find a faint trace of moisture on the ceiling, roughly in the shape of a triangle.
Then, drops of brown liquid seeped out from the pile of shadows, dripping on the floor of the bedroom like a rain curtain, making a hissing sound.
The two brothers squatted down and took a closer look. They found that there were several fingertip-sized holes on the tiles.
"Ichiro, can you not..."
Muichiro frowned and had a bad guess in his mind. However, before he could finish his words, the glass of the house suddenly shattered.
Two dark figures shot in from the window at high speed, but just when the hooks on their hands were about to touch the corners of the brothers' clothes, the ceiling collapsed!
The bathtub that had lost its bottom fell from above with countless sticky liquids, completely covering the two uninvited guests whose faces could not be seen clearly.
"Huh, so you discovered us a long time ago and deliberately lured us into the trap?"
Things happened too fast and too much. Before Ichiro even realized what was going on, he heard people outside the room talking to themselves, and his expression suddenly became tense.
Muichiro walked to the window, and his innocent and kind expression gradually faded into an indifference that made his brother feel strange.
"Ichiro..." Wuichiro said softly: "I didn't expect that our first battle in this world would come so soon."
