“There are only three of us here. Do you really need to say these high-sounding words?” Xiao Ying sneered.
“Yeah, she has a point. With only my testimony, little bro, you still can’t completely clear your suspicion, right?”
Caregiver Brother cautiously persuaded.
He did think Lu Bai had this idea. Of course, his willingness to step forward and persuade also partly stemmed from self-preservation.
“Testimony? Uncle, if he really made a move on me, do you think he would let you go?”
Xiao Ying first warned Caregiver Brother, then turned to Lu Bai and continued, “You really plan to use him as testimony? Death Fighters can’t trust each other. I don’t want to say it, but that’s the fact.”
Lu Bai was fine; he showed no reaction after hearing it.
On the contrary, Caregiver Brother grew anxious and flushed red: “You’re slandering him! Little bro, don’t listen to her stirring up trouble.”
“Enough.”
Then he took out his mobile phone, glanced at the time, and muttered, “How do they have no sense of time at all?”
Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from the shadow in the alley.
“We haven’t timed out.”
Soon, several figures emerged from the shadows one after another, led by a tall woman.
She wore thin-framed glasses and exuded an intellectual older sister type aura.
Seeing this, Xiao Ying instinctively felt something was wrong and blurted out, “What’s going on? Death Fighters?”
Lu Bai was clearly not unfamiliar with this group that suddenly appeared; accurately speaking, he had been waiting for them.
He stepped toward the intellectual older sister type: “You haven’t gone hunting recently, right?”
“You don’t need to suspect us. We sincerely want peaceful coexistence with humanity.”
Yes, this group were actually all parasitic organisms.
Thanks to the characteristic that parasitic organisms can sense their own kind, they can quickly form teams.
However, as long as there are intelligent beings with individual differences, it’s almost impossible for them to be of one mind.
Parasitic organisms are no exception.
Although the main goal is to continue the race, disagreements inevitably arise internally.
Simply put, the current factions among parasitic organisms have two mainstream views.
One is to seize political power from the upper echelon by changing hosts, controlling human society dominantly from top to bottom.
The other waves the flag of morality, calling for peaceful coexistence with humanity. The goal is roughly to develop in secret, gradually reaching the degree of a minority group swaying mainstream public opinion, similar to LGBT.
The parasitic organisms in front of them are naturally the latter. Hooking up with Lu Bai was actually an accident.
Because they originally sensed Yao Yi and were preparing to recruit their own kind…
Getting off track.
In short, for Lu Bai, he didn’t really care what plans these parasitic organisms had.
It didn’t matter which view it was.
Anyway, he wouldn’t believe it.
The reason he didn’t directly draw Long Fang to kill these monsters who dared to come to his door three days ago was mainly to use it at this moment.
After all, committing the perfect crime in modern society is really too difficult.
But once they enter the deathmatch arena, mutual fierce fights are inevitable.
So finding a group to take the blame became the best choice.
It was worth mentioning that Lu Bai had only left this as a backup plan at the time; he himself hadn’t expected to use it so soon.
The conversation between Lu Bai and the intellectual woman sounded chilling to Caregiver Brother and Xiao Ying upon careful thought.
“You’re actually cooperating with monsters?!” Xiao Ying instantly realized her situation was dire and unhesitatingly turned and ran wild.
But before she could run a few steps, Lu Bai swung his blade, and this death fighter’s head was severed with one strike.
In this process, there was only the flash of the blade; no one could see Long Fang’s true form.
“Do these two both need to be transformed into our kind?” Peng Dan inquired.
She wasn’t surprised by Lu Bai’s sudden attack, her attitude still as friendly as a telecom customer service rep.
[Ding!]
[Points +1, current rank 15/463]
The mechanical prompt sound rang in his head. Lu Bai shook his wrist and grabbed Caregiver Brother.
He chuckled and added, “Kill this one later.”
“Why?” Peng Dan was somewhat puzzled.
“Because he wants to see more of this world.”
……
“If you keep this up, I’m going to leave this beautiful world.”
Xu Qiang’s face was full of displeasure.
It was normal for Lu Bai to have him clean up after killing parasitic organisms; that’s how they’d been cooperating this time.
But not so frequently, right?
How long had it even been?
Did he really think of him as a janitor?
Moreover, he heard this “parasitic organism” had been quite obedient at first, not resisting even in the hospital.
He watched as two special agents put Xiao Ying into a body bag and took her away.
Xu Qiang leaned in and lowered his voice: “Be honest with me. Did you provoke it on the way?”
“Yes.” Lu Bai shrugged indifferently.
“Have you lost your mind or something?!”
Xu Qiang glared at him twice, barely adjusted his emotions, and earnestly explained, “I know you always can’t help wanting to kill these monsters. I want to too.
But what time is it now? The upper echelon is urging so urgently. At least catch one alive first, right?
Even if not, you can’t do it like this, can you? Too blatant, leaving so many suspicions. How am I supposed to write the report?”
“Got it.”
Lu Bai agreed immediately.
After this time getting to know him, Xu Qiang could easily tell Lu Bai didn’t take it to heart at all.
He pointed his finger emphatically at Lu Bai a few times: “No next time.”
Caregiver Brother nearby was dumbfounded. He had witnessed the entire development; there was no need for him as a witness to appear at all.
Without exaggeration, if Lu Bai had decisively killed him just now, it probably wouldn’t have had much impact.
“Should we take him away too?”
Lu Bai pulled Caregiver Brother over.
Xu Qiang was silent for a moment, then finally shook his head: “No need. You handle the follow-up. Just make sure he doesn’t spread word about parasitic organisms everywhere.”
“Oh?”
Lu Bai caught the hidden meaning in Xu Qiang’s words: “The upper echelon decided to issue an official announcement?”
In modern society, it’s hard to completely seal off any news.
Even with cyber police deleting messages about parasitic organisms online every moment, over so many consecutive days, some rumors were inevitable.
In the information age, everyone can be their own media, plus the quantity of parasitic organisms is indeed quite high.
As time passes, these messages naturally can’t be suppressed forever.
“Don’t guess wildly.”
Xu Qiang immediately stopped the topic and asked instead, “So, are you still going to the hospital to sleep later?”
Lu Bai glanced at the location map announced by the deathmatch system and smiled.
“Yeah, or else where else?”
