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

Chapter 42 The Terrification of the High-Ranking Officials

As night approached, Roy used Kimishima Kana's identification to book a room, explaining that his investigation of the parasitic organisms was a clandestine operation and he couldn't afford to be exposed.

What could Kana Kimishima do? It would be easy for these two to steal her identification.

As Roy led two pretty girls into the room, the girl at the counter looked at him with disdain.

Scumbag!

When she was young, she also experienced heartbreak...

Due to limited funds, only two rooms were opened: one for Ryu and one for Kana Kimishima, and one for Roy alone. In Orario, apart from military weapons, daily necessities are not much different from those in modern times.

They also have refrigerators and gas stoves, but modern ones rely on electricity, while Orario relies on magic stones for energy, so Roy isn't worried that Ryu won't be able to adapt.

Roy poured another bottle of low-level life potion into his body, which shimmered with a vibrant green light of life. The wounds inflicted by that brat, Jarrow, had not yet fully healed.

He lay in bed, lost in thought.

The reason we were able to catch five parasites today is because there are enough fish in the pond, but these things are becoming increasingly rare, and it's easy to imagine that they will become even fewer in the future. We might not be able to find even one every three to five days, so we need to be prepared.

Roy didn't have much patience.

It's like downloading a game. He doesn't care when the progress bar is in the middle, but if the progress bar gets stuck at 99.8%, he'd want to smash his computer.

Roy's gaze shifted to the city hall.

The big boss, Goto, and a large group of parasitic creatures surrounding him—eliminate them all, and you can quickly clear this dungeon!

However, this matter needs to be carefully planned.

Roy's eagerness to reach LV.2 did not affect him; in fact, he needed to remain calm, especially in crucial moments.

Goto is unlike other parasitic organisms; it is a special being created by Reiko Tamura.

Living in the same body as Miki and three other parasitic creatures, Goto was able to completely unify his consciousness, unleashing extremely strong combat power. His entire body hardened over a large area, allowing him to be fired at will by shotguns.

With a speed exceeding 60 kilometers per hour, and Roy suspected that this was not even the opponent's limit, in terms of pure physical ability, the opponent was no less than a LV.4 monster!

Silent all night.

After the three of them got up, washed up, and had breakfast, Izumi Shinichi rushed over without stopping.

"Thank you so much!"

Shinichi Izumi looked at Roy with a face full of relief at surviving the ordeal and eyes full of gratitude.

After Roy reminded him, he called his parents yesterday to urge them to return to the hotel as soon as possible.

Less than half an hour after his parents left that place, a couple was murdered. If they had left ten minutes later, his parents would have been the ones who died!

Izumi Shinichi was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Although he felt embarrassed for the other victim, he was very happy that his parents had survived.

Roy waved his hand. "No need to be polite, it was no trouble at all. You came at the perfect time. Your father must have been questioned by the police yesterday. Please ask him to contact the police for me and tell them... I have important information about the parasite!"

Shinichi Izumi's eyes widened, almost doubting whether he had misheard. What was this person saying? Everyone else avoided parasites like the plague.

"All right."

Given the debt of gratitude he owed Roy for saving his parents, Shinichi Izumi couldn't very well refuse Roy's request.

Roy looked at Kana Kimishima, "Your mission is complete. You're free to do as you please. Just stay with us. The police might be watching you, but I won't reveal your information. I still have that much sense of morality."

Kana Kimishima recalled scenes from certain movies where humans like her, who could sense monsters, were usually dissected and studied, which sent chills down her spine.

"Thanks!"

After thanking her, Kana Kimishima ran home in a panic. After hunting the parasite yesterday, she understood what the signals she usually sensed were, and she would never dare to go towards the signals again.

Upon hearing the news of the parasitic organism, provided by relevant personnel, the police arrived at lightning speed.

The true head of the parasitic organisms in this small town, Assistant Inspector Hirama, enters the family restaurant. He is a middle-aged man of medium build with a face full of wrinkles, exuding the vicissitudes of adulthood, and wearing flat-rimmed glasses.

Under Roy's guidance, Shinichi pushed everything onto Roy, including yesterday's hunt for the parasite, reminding him that something bad might happen to his parents.

All of this was to increase the police's attention to Roy.

"Isn't that a middle school student?"

"Could it be parasitized?"

The two young police officers whispered among themselves, a hint of wariness on their faces, until Hirama whispered a quiet "Shut up," at which point they fell silent.

"Hello!"

Heiji forced himself to muster his courage and politely extended his hand.

Roy readily grasped the other's hand and smiled, "I am human, there's no doubt about that."

Hirama stared at Roy for a long time. Although he didn't have the ability to distinguish between parasites and humans, as a veteran police officer, he was still quite good at judging people.

"We did find five corpses of parasites yesterday. It turns out it was you who did it. Thank you so much for eliminating this scourge from society." Hirama bowed deeply to Roy, his attitude very sincere.

"No, no, protecting society is everyone's responsibility," Roy said with a smile, helping the old policeman up.

Hirama subconsciously used a respectful form of address, "I've heard you have information about other parasitic organisms."

Roy looked toward the city hall and said quietly, "Mayor Hirokawa Takeshi has more than twenty parasites around him, making it the biggest hideout in town."

"What?!"

Heima's facial muscles seemed to twitch, his expression grave. "Are you sure?"

"If it's just one or two parasites, we can handle them," Roy laughed. They had wiped out five parasites yesterday.

Hirama fell silent for a long time before saying, "This matter is beyond my authority. I need to report it to my superiors. Please wait a moment."

"As soon as possible!"

Roy said, "If they find out and re-enter human society, it won't be easy to find them again. They can change their appearance."

"yes!"

Roy's PUA was very effective. The reports from the stylist were submitted layer by layer, reaching the highest level, which startled everyone. Overnight, everyone was on edge.

The existence of parasitic organisms is terrifying.

The opponent's extraordinary power is secondary; what's truly terrifying is their ability to seize a person's brain and continue to exist in that person's body and appearance.

Unbeknownst to them, they might even allow the other side to steal the highest power in the country.

The situation in this small town is the best example, where Mayor Hirokawa Takeshi and a large group of parasites have taken over the city hall as their base.

Therefore, Roy knew very well that the island nation's higher-ups would prioritize dealing with the parasites over the two of them who were "superpowered" enough to kill them.

Once Goto and the others were dealt with, he and Ryu had already made their escape. Trying to capture them for research was wishful thinking.
