NOVEL WEB Chapter 183: Capturing a Parasyte Larva
Whoosh! With a sudden pull, he yanked the blanket off, and Kurozawa sprang up abruptly.
His tense body didn't immediately find an enemy in the darkness, but he still didn't relax.
Kurozawa's heart wouldn't stop pounding. He felt a massive sense of crisis approaching and descending. The various feelings it conveyed were all extremely strange and not to be underestimated.
Although he hadn't awakened Fighting Spirit Perception yet, Kurozawa's five senses and reactions were incredibly sharp.
He sensed the unusual aura filling the air.
"What's happening?"
"An overwhelming sense of crisis."
Frowning deeply, Kurozawa remained still, silently searching for the source and trace of the anomaly.
Because the feeling was too vast, he couldn't pinpoint the source accurately. Lacking Fighting Spirit Perception, tracking enemies was a bit troublesome; it wasn't as clean and quick as before.
Suddenly, some faint green streaks of light appeared under the bright moonlight outside the window.
Kurozawa's heart clenched. Then he opened the window, gripped the windowsill with both hands, and with a burst of core strength, instantly flipped onto the roof.
He looked up, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
As far as his sight could reach, whether it was the sky directly above or the distant horizon, at the edge of his vision, streaks of faint green light appeared, rapidly falling towards the ground.
Their distribution wasn't dense, but considering the vast area they covered, the number wasn't particularly small.
At first glance, they actually looked like a shower of meteors soaring towards the surface, beautiful in appearance.
Kurozawa took a deep breath, and his mind gradually calmed down.
It seemed the plain and boring days were about to end.
The streaks of light slowed down as they approached from a distance. When they were about two hundred meters from the ground, they were already swaying gently in the wind like dandelions, drifting everywhere.
Kurozawa also clearly saw what they were.
They were tiny green spore-like balls, with many dense small tentacles on the surface, swaying unconsciously.
Kurozawa felt this scene was somewhat familiar, but it was like looking at flowers through a fog, always vague and unable to truly connect it to his memories.
Tilting his head back, Kurozawa's gaze quickly locked onto a green spore closest to him.
In about 4 seconds, that spore fell and stopped precariously on the top surface of a streetlamp by the side of the road, which emitted a dim yellow light.
A hundred meters away, Kurozawa's eyes were like torches. He leaped across the rooftops, approaching the green spore.
Meanwhile, a distinct black line suddenly appeared on the surface of the green spore, and then it split open as if cut by a sharp blade.
Its interior was a hollow cavity, surrounded by pink fleshy walls, and it was still wet, disgusting in appearance.
Inside the cavity was a translucent green creature, which raised its somewhat cone-shaped head, slightly flashing.
The creature's overall appearance was like a slimy worm, translucent, only 3 centimeters long, with a large head and a small tail. On both sides of what was likely its head, there were even smaller tentacles distributed. Through its body surface, one could vaguely see the faintly glowing bodily fluid inside.
The unknown creature swayed its head, its tentacles on both sides trembling constantly, seemingly some kind of sensory organ, exploring the surrounding environment.
The next second, its body turned and faced a house that had no lights on.
It quickly crawled down the streetlamp in the blink of an eye, turned around, and moved rapidly towards that house.
However, just as it turned, a figure stood beneath the streetlamp, blocking its path.
Kurozawa's tall body blocked the dim yellow light, and the shadow of his body spread, enveloping the tiny unknown creature.
"This appearance... it's somewhat familiar, but I still can't remember it just based on a bit of its look."
He frowned in deep thought, squatted down, and carefully examined the unknown creature.
The translucent pale green skin, the appearance like a worm or a snake... the feeling of looking at flowers through a fog grew stronger. It was that feeling of being on the verge of remembering something, but just lacking that little spark to truly recall it, which made Kurozawa feel a bit uncomfortable.
At the same time, the unknown creature suddenly sprang up and jumped towards Kurozawa's neck.
This instant burst of short-distance movement did have a snake-like quality to it.
If it were an ordinary person, they would likely be caught off guard and fall victim to it, but Kurozawa reacted quickly. As if with foresight, he stretched out his hand, and two fingers instantly and precisely clamped the unknown creature's body.
It struggled violently.
It poked its head forward, and that pointed cone-like head actually disregarded Kurozawa's tough physique and directly drilled into his finger.
However, because the lower half of its body was still being held by Kurozawa, it struggled forward but just couldn't drill in completely.
Strangely, his finger was broken open, but there was no pain whatsoever. It seemed to directly merge with Kurozawa's flesh, causing no damage.
Seeing the scene of the unknown creature desperately trying to burrow into his body, a flash of inspiration struck Kurozawa, and he finally recalled the identity of the unknown creature.
Decades of memories were traced back, scene after scene flashing, finally settling on a grotesque, bizarre humanoid creature whose head split open like a Venus flytrap.
Parasyte... parasitic organisms whose instinct is to parasitize humans, slaughter humans, and devour humans.
No, more accurately, they are parasitic organisms whose instinct is to hunt other beings of the parasitic host's species.
Right now, it was just a green worm-like appearance.
But as soon as it came into contact with a human, it would instantly burrow into their body, then go straight to the head, eat and assimilate the human's head, and then fully mature, beginning to lie in wait in human society, hunting humans.
Their lifespan is very short. After emerging from the spore, if they cannot find a host within ten minutes, their bodies will weaken and die, turning into a puddle of green liquid.
For the Parasytes, they only had one thought: to parasitize humans, reduce their numbers, and complete the great mission bestowed upon them by an unknown existence.
This insect-like appearance was merely the larval form of the Parasytes.
Whoosh. The deathly, sinister aura of Moon Breathing circulated, moving towards the finger where the Parasyte Larva had burrowed in.
The Moon Breathing aura was like a cold current. Just as it approached, the Parasyte Larva, scared, actively detached itself from Kurozawa's finger. It hung its head, trembling, looking weak and pathetic.
Afraid of the cold. Kurozawa silently noted it.
He had only been trying it out, not expecting it to actually work.
If the Moon Breathing aura didn't work, he could have directly incinerated the other party with the Pitch-Black Aura, but that would have been too much of a waste.
Some ideas emerged in his mind. Kurozawa's expression was kindly as he released the finger that was restraining the Parasyte Larva, placing it in his left palm.
"Little guy, you're lucky to have met me."
"Come on, don't be shy."
The next second, the Parasyte Larva abruptly burrowed downwards, instantly burying its entire body into Kurozawa's left palm.
Even though the larva's consciousness was weak and lacked intelligence, it sensed that this life form was extraordinary. The powerful muscles and the surging blood and qi, like a vast ocean, excited the Parasyte Larva.
What a strong body. If I can parasitize this life form, I'll be invincible. That was likely its thought.
