Chapter 239 - Dragon Slayer

"Everyone, this is a newly discovered Parasitic Organism."

"Completely different from other Parasitic Organisms, it possesses extremely strong regenerative abilities, rendering firearms useless against it."

In front of the electronic screen, a researcher wearing gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his frames and introduced the figure displayed on the screen with a solemn expression.

He was tall, his outer clothing torn into rags barely clinging to his body. Clumps of steel-like muscles were exposed to the air, and his eyes, deep and calm, exuded a powerful sense of oppression.

Following this, the researcher opened a video clip.

As the confirmation button was pressed, the screen suddenly shook violently.

Deafening roars of gunfire were incessant.

The individuals sitting below, gathered around the long table, stared intently at the video, their expressions grave.

In the video, over thirty people surrounded the target. The target was suppressed by overwhelming firepower, almost instantly turned into a bloody, unrecognizable mess, like a sieve. It didn't seem particularly special.

However, when the armed soldiers, thinking the battle was over, ceased their fire suppression,

The bloody mess, already like mud, instantly reformed and gathered as if alive, solidifying into a human shape.

Immediately after, over a dozen flashes of cold light shot up and vanished in an instant. Then the video perspective spun wildly, eventually landing on the ground, the lens obscured by thick red blood.

The man with glasses rewound the video and started slow playback.

Only then could they clearly see that the flashes of cold light that vanished in their vision were the target's left hand suddenly splitting into twelve Metal Blades.

Then, in an instant, they precisely and accurately severed the necks of all the surrounding Blade Breakers team members.

Unlike other Parasitic Organisms that would disperse their strength to attack the torso or limbs, this one only targeted fatal locations, aiming for an instant kill.

Following that, the next video began to play.

The perspective looked like it was from a small recording device worn by the Scarred Man, left by Kurozawa. Fortunately, it hadn't been damaged.

After that, it showed Kurozawa with his eyes slightly closed, strange black patterns appearing on his body. He dodged close-range assault rifle fire with the ease of a stroll in a courtyard, and even caught a high-powered sniper bullet with one hand.

Wisps of white smoke rose from between his metalized fingers, containing a sharp bullet head. The appearance of this scene caused the people below to exchange glances, their breaths catching in their throats.

"As everyone can see, this Parasitic Organism can intercept sniper bullets in mid-air with its bare hands."

"It can withstand a hail of bullets, yet regenerate instantly in one second, completely unharmed."

"It can precisely kill over thirty combat personnel in an instant, leaving no room for error."

"Everyone should understand what this signifies."

Immediately, a file was enlarged on the screen, displaying Kurozawa's profile, containing a large amount of information about him.

The researcher continued, "Kimishima Ryoma, sister Kimishima Kana, father..."

Finally, he said in an uncertain tone, "Based on the research and speculation of all of us, this individual is highly likely to not have his brain parasitized and retains his original way of thinking."

"However, it might be some unknown mutation that has granted him extremely strong regenerative abilities."

"He possesses a criminal personality. When he was in his first year of high school, he was suspected of killing a fellow student. So far, the body has not been found and the case was reported as a disappearance."

"The incident at the Higashi Fukuyama City police station was also most likely carried out by him."

Pushing up his glasses and taking a sip of water, the researcher then brought up Kana's file and said, "He may have a different kind of protective feeling towards his sister."

"In the initial video, he asked about Kimishima Kana's whereabouts twice and only began killing after not receiving an answer."

Below, a man with a kind face asked in a deep voice, "Where is this Kimishima Kana now?"

"She was originally housed in a hotel, but she has now been escorted to a secret base in Tokyo."

"Escorted to the base?"

"Yes, we discovered that Kimishima Kana has the ability to identify Parasitic Organisms. We plan to recruit her as internal personnel to assist in combat. However, she is very resistant to this, and communication is ongoing."

"With such strong regenerative abilities and astonishing aggressiveness... how can it be annihilated?"

The researcher paused, then his eyes lit up, and he spoke eloquently, "Intelligence is insufficient, but we can try using radiation weapons, infrasound weapons, as well as flamethrowers, liquid nitrogen weapons..."

"I personally recommend using liquid nitrogen weapons the most. First suppress with firepower, then freeze solid with liquid nitrogen."

"As for other targeted weapons, more intelligence support is needed. Currently, we only know that the opponent's regenerative power is extremely strong, but we don't know the source."

"The problem we need to solve now is how to find the opponent's location and conduct another encirclement operation."

For the human side, the combat power displayed by Kurozawa was alarming but far from terrifying. After all, no matter how strong his destructive power or regenerative ability, it seemed he could still be injured and suppressed by heavy firepower, making it difficult for him to move.

At this point, the researcher wearing glasses exchanged glances with a waiting short-haired woman next to him, then left the front of the screen.

The short-haired woman stepped forward and continued, "We have always suspected that high-level officials have been infiltrated by Parasitic Organisms, acting as protection, providing these anomalies with protection and hiding places."

"The most crucial thing is that the infiltrated individuals are not parasitized but are doing so voluntarily."

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed. They turned to look at their colleagues around them, their eyes full of scrutiny.

Seeing this, the short-haired woman stopped them, "Everyone here, please rest assured, personnel under suspicion cannot enter here."

Immediately, she operated the electronic screen, and photos appeared on it one by one. Below each photo was the name, position, and reason for suspicion.

Hirokawa Shigou, the new mayor of Higashi Fukuyama City, was prominently among them and had been highlighted in red.

"Through some covert channels, we learned that Hirokawa Shigou recently sought information about Kimishima Kana. This behavior is very abnormal."

Logically speaking, a mayor wouldn't have any connection to Kimishima Kana, especially during such a sensitive time. However, Hirokawa was overly confident, trusting his intelligence sources too much, and didn't even realize he had been betrayed.

"This individual needs close attention. The suspicion is significant, but the target's combat strength is high, so we shouldn't alert them."

"Therefore, we plan to exploit the target's feelings for Kimishima Kana by providing false information and setting up an ambush beforehand."

"If the target comes, it will also confirm that Hirokawa Shigou has sided with the aberrations."

"The target's name is Kimishima Ryoma. This operation will be codenamed [Dragon Slayer]!"

Night fell. On the top floor of the Municipal Hall building, Kurozawa was resting in the lounge, his eyes closed. Streaks of bright moonlight shone through the window, like mercury spilling onto the floor.

However, brighter than the moonlight was the twelve-pointed snowflake formation beneath his feet.

Derived from Akaza's martial arts, Fighting Spirit Compass could elevate the already precise Fighting Spirit Perception to a new level.

At this moment, Kurozawa was unaware of the plan against him. He was focused on researching how to control the Parasyte Body.

And in his perception, he gradually discovered the most crucial point about the Parasyte Body.
