Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

But it was as if time had stopped, not a drop of blood seeped out.

"..... Tie the tourniquet first, and tie it a little higher."

The leader looked cold and then picked up the knife again.

He wanted to cut off another small section of the arm. The strangeness in front of him made him feel uneasy.

The subordinate who received the order nodded quickly, then knelt between the two thugs with broken arms and began to tear their clothes to make a makeshift tourniquet.

As for the two thugs lying on the ground, they seemed to be unconscious.

When he tore off the cloth and was about to continue bandaging, the subordinate was suddenly stunned. He seemed to see that the chest of the thug lying on the ground in front of him seemed to be moving up and down?

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly unbuttoned the clothes on the chest of the thug in front of him, and then looked at the exposed chest...

No problem, he was just worrying too much.

Just as he lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to continue bandaging, the chest in front of him suddenly made a popping sound!

A scarlet, slender and twisted arm that did not look like a human being at all broke out from the body of the person in front of him!

Directly pounced on his shoulder!!!

“Ahhhh!! What the hell is this?!”

The sudden change frightened the subordinates in front of him and they shouted immediately.

However, what he got in return was only a second bloody arm breaking out of his body and directly rushing towards his other shoulder.

“Ahhh, Boss! Save me! Save me! Ahhhhh—”

When the gang leader saw the scene in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to step forward, but the next moment something new happened, causing him to stop in his tracks.

Behind the guy who was entangled, the body of another thug began to tremble and twitch strangely, making a bumpy and slapping sound, and then the body turned over directly, with the back facing up, and at the same time, there was a terrifying tearing and cracking sound.

The second thug's back was torn apart, and his entire spine tore through the flesh with blood, standing upright with intact chest ribs. At the same time, several ribs began to open and close consciously like the tentacles of an insect.

It turned around and then pounced directly behind the unfortunate guy who was tied up!

“Ahhhh! What, what is that?”

The chest cavity opened, as if "putting on" the opponent's body like a vest, and then the sharp ribs closed violently and pierced directly into his body, bringing out bursts of screams!

"What the hell is this...monster!!!"

The leader and the others stared in amazement at the strange life form before them, not even noticing that behind them, an opening had appeared on the surface of the burnt black tumor!

Then, as if breaking out of a cocoon, a thin figure tore off the dark, charcoal-like shell and landed lightly on the ground.

Its entire body was extremely dry, and its scarlet skin covered everything, making it look like a bag of bones.

The two hind legs touched the ground with a recurved structure that was not like that of humans, and the two front arms were abnormally slender, allowing the entire body to lie directly on the ground and walk like four legs.

The chest area also has two front claws similar to those of a mantis, with sharp bone edges standing side by side in front.

A tail with multiple blades continues to grow from the spine.

The area where the head should be is only a slender neck. Several tiny scarlet tentacles with a large number of eyeballs at the top crawl out from the broken trachea, staring at the "new world" around it with almost no blind spots.

"what sound?"

A gang member noticed something was wrong and when he turned around, all he could see was a straight red afterimage!

pat.

He didn't even have time to show his fear before a line of blood began to extend straight down from his head.

The whole person was cut in half.

"Damn it, why is there more!!"

The leader stared at the two monsters in front and behind, which seemed to be surrounding everyone.

This time, he finally broke out in a cold sweat.

No, there is still a chance.

Those guys who went to check the emergency exit....should have opened the door as well.

if only...

pat.

The empty footsteps now echoed throughout the basement.

The leader turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction of the emergency passage.

Before I knew it, the place was filled with corpses.

It was the person who was just sent out...How could it be possible...in an instant——

Snap...Snap.

The footsteps are still echoing.

In the darkness, a figure wearing a nun's outfit with several pupils slowly emerged.

In his hands were several lanterns with human faces emitting faint flames.

She slowly walked to the center of the corpse, picked up the lantern and spoke.

"stand up."

Almost in an instant, the bodies fell to the ground without any support, and just stood there in a posture that was extremely contrary to the human body's joints.

"It's slower than expected. Whether it's the body that's not well maintained or not,

Most of the blood and flesh are still on Laurentina... Anyway, it doesn't matter, and it won't take up too much time."

"Before...the doctor and the others see me like this."

The nun raised her hand, as if giving an order, and the resurrected corpse and the two monsters all started to pounce on the remaining gangsters!

Chapter 72: A long-awaited reunion

Sometimes, I often think about it.

Do you have the qualifications to calmly accept all the positive and well-intentioned compliments from others?

Many times, I feel that I am just an extremely selfish guy.

His repeated actions and various behaviors are just to prevent suffering from appearing before his eyes.

But when talking about the source of everything, he always avoided one question after another by saying that he was just an ordinary person who learned painting and gained power.

Perhaps this kind of behavior can indeed be considered self-awareness, but not even willing to make the slightest attempt, just curling up in the corner, unwilling to make any changes... Is this more deadly than those self-righteous guys?

Although I have the power to keep evolving, my thoughts are stuck in the same place, unwilling to take another step.

I also tried to use "my own lack of ability" as an excuse...

You...are just a selfish guy. You show kindness to the people in front of you only to satisfy your own inner desires.

That's why you always use lack of ability as an excuse.

You know clearly that this world is much darker than you think. Countless sufferings have taken root in places beyond your sight, absorbing the nutrients of sin and blooming branches of despair.

And you just - say you are incapable.

Is it because you don’t have the ability or the motivation? You don’t have the motivation to change the places that you can’t see, and you only want to protect everything in front of you?

call......

"Zajian~You are such a pushover."

"Zajian, how much kindness do you have——"

"Okay, at worst I can accompany you to travel around this land..."

"Left room...family..."

Laurentina's voice echoed in his ears, and his flesh and blood were once again filled with life.

However, some people regard themselves as family members, and some people think that they exist just like that and will dispel the existence of suffering.

She feels that she is just that kind of person and considers herself as a family member.

.....Are you still going to turn a blind eye? Or are you ready to take a step forward and make a change?

In the basement, darkness and silence filled the entire space, with only the occasional sound of dripping water echoing like an ethereal whisper.

At this moment, scarlet filled every corner, and among them, the white-haired figure just stood there quietly, raising his hand and looking at the dull head in his palm.

That's the gang leader's head.

"name."

Zuo Jian asked slowly.

“Ge…Ge…”

"Forget it, there's no need, I can do it myself."

Zuo Jian glanced at the leader's head, then placed him aside in the bloody tumor-like object that had turned into a small hill.

Soon, a body was reshaped and connected to the leader's head.

The nun's body, eyes closed, leaned quietly against a corner of the tumor.

After a moment, the "leader" opened his eyes with blue pupils.

"There are many industries. It's hard to imagine that an ordinary gangster can achieve this level... As expected, they have some connections with those dukes."

"The Victoria throne is empty and the situation is turbulent. Under such circumstances, the Duke cannot go to Londinium in person, so it is only natural for him to develop and support some local tyrants."

"No wonder, they are involved in all kinds of illegal transactions. It can only be said that for them, it is also a kind of "reward"."

Zuo Jian looked at his torso and saw that the black suit was slowly being constructed out of flesh and blood. Soon, from the outside, it was almost impossible to tell the difference between him and the former gang leader.

He was still slowly absorbing the memories in his brain, and at the same time he snapped his fingers. Then the flesh and blood began to wriggle continuously, gradually forming a human body.

Finally, in just a few breaths, all the blood and organs on the ground were cleaned up and absorbed, and then turned into the dead gang members.

From the outside, there was nothing unusual about them.

After the fight just now, all the souls, or consciousnesses, that Zuo Jian had devoured were merged together, and after removing the unnecessary parts, they were evenly poured into each body.

This turns them all into branches capable of executing his orders. At the same time, he can control any of their bodies anytime and anywhere.

That is, provided Laurentina doesn't lock herself away from her.

As for memory...

And the original name of this body.

Oh, he doesn't need it and doesn't care.

Anyway, this is just the beginning.

He was also worried about the trouble that might come from those who knew the gang leader's original name.

It would be better to let them worry about themselves first.

This is just the beginning.

Now that I have decided to intervene completely, there will be no hesitation.

"However, we must first consider how to deal with the two guests who sneaked in."

Zuo Jian touched his chin, feeling the two people still crawling in the pipe.
