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

"The mayor of Chernobog is dead?"

Kal'tsit held her forehead with a headache.

"You passed by the scene and found the doctor's clothes??"

Ace nodded.

"Fortunately, the Tower of Babel is not well known to everyone in Ursus yet, and the scout brought the clothes back before they started investigating."

"..."

For the first time, Kal'tsit felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

The doctor must be found as soon as possible, otherwise...she always has a bad feeling in her heart.

Chapter 2, “Kindness”

late at night.

At this moment, Laurentina and Anita had already entered a deep dream with their own consciousness.

Whether it was the dilapidated houses or the city called Saltwind City, everything fell asleep at this moment.

Until the sun sets on the next day, no one will tear apart the shroud of night.

only.....

When all "people" fall asleep.

There are always some special beings who remain awake and watch everything around them.

Beside Laurentina, Anita was snoring evenly and faintly.

Just like a cat...

A light blue pupil opened under Laurentina's left eye, quietly observing everything in the room.

After a moment, he realized that the former was also asleep.

He closed his eyes.

Then...

A pair of eyes opened from a head drooping in the corner, and the nun's body stood up again.

"Are you all asleep?"

"So....."

Zuo Jian raised the nun's palm, then watched its palm crack and open like a mouth.

Several tiny, slender, slippery tentacles fluttered from the white palm like countless tongues, and finally, a tiny, scarlet granular object was raised at the tip.

"finished."

He placed the tiny scarlet particle in front of his eyes, looking at the numerous tiny blood vessels that seemed to be flowing throughout it.

This is a seed.

A grain seed. (The Inquisitor is Liberi, so it makes sense that there are grains in the supplies.)

Most of it was thrown into the pot before the moon had fully risen from the Inquisitor's standard ration, becoming a hearty meal for Anita and Laurentina, as well as some of the villagers tomorrow.

Yes, this thing was not actually a seed before. First of all, the seeds are alive.

In fact, it has already gone through a series of preservation processes, including shelling, frying, and dehydration.

To put it bluntly...it's a corpse.

but now.

Zuo Jian had been holding it in his hand just now, hoping to restore its vitality.

To this end, all he could do was to continue assimilating the corpse of the plant.

In a sense, this is trying to bring the dead back to life.

There is no doubt that even if it was just a seed, Zuo Jian underestimated the huge consumption caused by this behavior.

“Dead” substances cannot produce much nutrients even if they are absorbed directly.

What's more, assimilation consumes a lot of nutrients from the body. Moreover, it is the assimilation of dead matter that is no longer alive and it has to be brought back from a state of death.

But fortunately

He succeeded.

Then the next step is to find a way to make it suppress its instinct to assimilate and devour living animals after you leave, and repeatedly perform this monotonous behavior of absorbing nutrients from the soil.

The consequence of doing this is that, although it is only a small part at the beginning, over time, the villagers who eat these plants will eventually undergo mutations.

In this way, what you do is almost indistinguishable from those scum.

Therefore, this special "seed" in your hand can only be used as a temporary transition.

The problem must be truly solved at the root of the problem before the accumulated part of themselves in their bodies has an impact on them.

Fortunately, Zuo Jian just found his own way.

But before that, he had to store a "consciousness" that could execute his requirements in this seed that only existed in instinct.

If possible, he really hopes to separate some consciousness from his body.

But unfortunately, no.

He had just discovered this when he went looking for food, or hunting.

You can

He can move freely with the help of his new flesh and blood body, but his consciousness is still bound to the assimilated Laurentina.

If he moved too far away from Laurentina, his consciousness would be pulled directly back into her body.

He would not and could not restrict Laurentina for this.

So, it is obvious where the usable consciousness comes from.

Zuo Jian leaned against the wall and sank his consciousness into the two "good neighbors" preserved in this body.

.........

...

..

"Huh...Huh...Damn...Where is this place?"

"I, I'm still alive??"

Lei Ke looked at his arms and legs in shock.

Realizing that I seemed to be unharmed

Even the clothes look brand new from the factory.

No wrinkles whatsoever.

"No....this isn't reality??"

Lei Ke's memory was extremely clear. He remembered that he was torn into pieces by a group of monsters transformed from mad dogs. The intense pain was still unforgettable.

"Bishop Leko? Why are you here?"

A hoarse voice sounded from beside him. Lei Ke was stunned, and then he saw a familiar and disgusting figure suddenly appear beside him.

"Quintus?? Why are you here..."

"I don't know. I seem to have a vague memory. I just remember that bastard from Agor ran out and then."

"Then...."

Quintus was stunned, and then a long and dull footsteps sounded from afar, echoing throughout the space.

"Wait....what kind of monster is that..."

"Monster...you said..."

Quintus was stunned, and then he saw a headless skeleton slowly walking down the empty stairs in the corner, like a god looking down on everything.

"Good evening, both of you."

Zuo Jian walked up to them and looked at the two dazed people.

"I'm sorry, but my major is not law, and I can't make a reasonable judgment on the various evil deeds you two have committed. As a result, scum like you two can still maintain a complete consciousness until now."

"But don't worry. After a period of careful consideration, I have already figured out how to make you two pay for your unforgivable crimes."

"And it is... a more appropriate judgment than being imprisoned for eternity."

"Judgment?! What nonsense are you talking about? The only one who can judge me is that great being from the deep sea!"

"Hey, Quintus, stop talking, he..."

Lei Ke was stunned. He seemed to understand his situation and realized what kind of existence the other party was.

He wanted Quintus to shut up, but the latter seemed to ignore him.

"Apart from Him, no matter what kind of evil god you are, you are not worthy of what I have done for my Lord..."

Quintus was stunned, and felt an extremely severe pain in his limbs. He saw his torso suddenly crack open, and all his internal organs spilled out.

"You two, you don't seem to realize your situation."

Although Zuo Jian did not have eyeballs at the moment, Lei Ke felt an extremely cold gaze.

"Your bodies have long disappeared. What is here is only the consciousness stored in your brain."

"Here, I have absolute control. For example, I can increase the pain a hundred times."

He snapped his fingers, and then Quintus, whose body continued to crack, let out an even more terrifying scream.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

"so."

Zuo Jian stepped forward and placed his hand on Quintus' jaw as if he was annoyed by the noise.

"The reason why I still maintain basic courtesy is purely because of my personal quality."

"No, you scum deserve it. Recognize your own situation."

"What on earth... do you want to do?"

Leco looked at Quintus with some fear, his body covered with hideous cracks and his entire jaw seemed to be crushed.

"Bishop Leco, I have thought of an extremely suitable ending for you."

"From now on, I need you to be a....seed."

"What did you say......"

"I will throw your consciousness into a seed. All you have to do is absorb nutrients, bloom, bear fruit, and then transform everything you absorb into the nutrients they need to fill the stomachs of those who are suffering."

"Don't worry, after solving their food problem, I will allow you to free yourself from self-awareness."

"What are you talking about? How can I accept this kind of thing..."

Lei Ke was stunned, feeling an unprecedented sense of absurdity.

"Or do you think you can make me submit to you by this method?"

........

"Indeed, it seems that you are more resilient than Quintus."

Zuo Jian clapped his hands, and then Lei Ke suddenly felt the whole day spinning.

He stared blankly at his limbs being cut off at some point, leaving only a head connected to his torso.

"What do you want to do..."

Skeleton carrying

Lyco's body and threw him out a door.

"Although I'm sorry, you can't confess your crimes with tears in your eyes and then obediently carry out my sentence... No, even if you do that, I won't believe it."

"What on earth are you..."
