On the other side, in the home of Murano Rimi, there is a warm and ordinary family atmosphere. Rimi's father is named Murano Daisuke, and her mother is named Murano Minaiko.
"Rimi, dinner is ready, come and eat!" Minaiko calls from the kitchen.
"Okay, Mom, I'll be right there!" Rimi responded, feeling her Right foot - and the parasite Mi residing in her body - also seemed a bit excited.
She put down her phone and sat down at the dining table.
Daisuke was already sitting at the dining table, holding a remote control and watching the evening news. The main topic tonight, just like in the Izumi Kazuyuki household, was about the series of "dismemberment murder" cases.
"Watching these news reports really sends chills down my spine," Daisuke said, frowning as he watched the television.
"Indeed, every time I see these reports, it makes me feel uneasy," responded Minako as she served the freshly made pork cutlets.
Rimi picked up a piece of pork cutlet, put it in her mouth, chewed, and said, "But we can only protect ourselves."
"You're right, but this kind of thing is too bizarre, even beyond the realm of reason," Daisuke said seriously as he stared at the TV, his brow furrowing more and more.
"In that case, we should pay even more attention to everything around us, and protect ourselves and our families," Minako said with a smile, as if trying to ease the oppressive atmosphere.
After dinner, Rimi returned to her room. She sat down and opened her laptop. At that moment, her right foot suddenly moved as if reminding her of something.
"What would you like to see, Mi?" Rimi said to her own Right foot.
"I would like to look up some information about ecology and environmental protection," Mi responded through neural connection.
"Wow, you're such a good student who loves to learn," Rimi smiled and began searching for related information online.
"It seems like the environmental issues in this world are getting more and more serious," Mi said after reading an article about climate change.
"Yes, as creatures on Earth, we should cherish and protect our home more." Rimi responded deeply moved.
"Then why do humans continue to destroy the natural environment?" Mi asked.
"Sometimes, people may overlook the long-term consequences for the sake of immediate benefits. But that doesn't mean everyone is like that; there are still many people working hard to make a change," said Rimi earnestly.
At that moment, Rimi's phone suddenly rang, it was a message from Shinichi.
"Hello, Rimi, did you watch the news tonight?"
"I did, it's really chilling. What do you think?"
"I feel that this makes me understand even more that we have parasites in us, and that there is a presence that can confront them. We should protect this world."
"I completely agree, Shinichi."
Rimi put down her phone and glanced at Mi who was reading an environmental protection article, feeling once again that the future might be a bit tricky. However, she suddenly became interested in Mi's search for this information.
" Mi, is there a possibility that you were created to destroy humanity, reduce pollution, and save the Earth?" Rimi suddenly asked, with a tone of uncertain tension.
Mi paused, seeming to ponder. "I'm not sure. Our purpose is not something we can control ourselves. But your question is interesting, and that possibility does exist."
Rimi pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered a line from the first page of the "Parasite" manga:
"If the population decreases to one percent, can pollution also decrease to one percent?" At that moment, she gained a new insight into the existence of Mi and Righty and other such parasites.
"Do you know, Mi, I once read in a comic that if the population decreases, pollution will also decrease. You suddenly appeared and only feed on humans. Could it be for this reason?"
Rimi gently bit her lower lip, clearly feeling uneasy about this question. Does this mean that these parasites are a product created by humans themselves?
Mi After a brief silence, she replied, "That's an interesting hypothesis, but I can't be certain. Whether our existence is really for that purpose, it still needs more evidence to support."
Rimi nodded, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted. "Yes, it's just a hypothesis, but if it's true, the future will definitely be more complex and dangerous."
Mi seemed to sense Rimi's heavy heart and tried to comfort her: "Anyway, all we can do now is to make an effort to understand more and protect ourselves and the people around us."
"You're right, Mi," Rimi smiled slightly, seeming to relax a little.
The morning sun shines on the school's teaching building, reflecting dazzling rays of light from the windows. Students in neat uniforms, carrying their school bags and full of anticipation, walk into the campus. Murano Rimi is no exception, her steps light but firm.
"Good morning, Izumi!" Rimi saw Shinichi and a light flashed in her eyes.
Shinichi turned around and saw Rimi, smiling, he said, "Good morning."
Rimi continued excitedly, "In the basketball game the other day, Shinichi, you were really handsome!"
Shinichi smiled somewhat bashfully, "Haha, that was just luck. You were also amazing playing soccer that day!"
At this moment, Shinichi's Right hand suddenly transformed, forming an eye and a mouth.
"Shinichi," Right spoke calmly.
At the same time, Rimi's right leg also underwent a transformation, with eyes and a mouth appearing.
"Rimi," Mi also spoke up.
"We both sensed it at the same time, there are our companions nearby," Right and Mi almost simultaneously issued a warning.
Shinichi and Rimi looked at each other, their faces slightly changed. This companion is too close to their school, isn't it?
"Who is it? A male student, a female student, or a teacher?" Rimi asked, looking serious.
Shinichi furrowed his brow. "I'm not sure, but we need to be careful."
Rimi nodded, "Yes, we can't take it lightly."
When Shinichi and Rimi stepped into the classroom, every step felt like treading on a laser grid, and their heartbeats could be heard clearly. The atmosphere inside the classroom seemed no different from usual, with classmates still playing around, using their phones, or studying ahead. But for Shinichi and Rimi, everything felt as tense as a drawn sword.
"Shinichi, what should we do next?" Rimi asked softly, her eyes revealing a subtle sense of worry.
Shinichi glanced at her, his eyes becoming unusually sharp. "We must try not to attract attention while finding the location of that parasite."
At that moment, the voice from the broadcasting room suddenly broke the calm of the classroom: "Students, there is a routine morning assembly this morning. Please gather at the gymnasium immediately."
Shinichi After listening, his eyes narrowed slightly: "A morning meeting? Today?"
Rimi After hearing the broadcast, she bit her lip, "This might be a great opportunity."
Before long, the students began to make their way to the gymnasium, lining up neatly. Rimi and Shinichi chose a relatively secluded spot to better observe the entire scene.
Shinichi and Rimi's gazes constantly roamed through the crowd in the gymnasium, with numerous question marks arising in their minds: "Where? Which person is it? How far away are they from us?"
At that moment, they heard whispers of "Mi" and "Right" in their ears, tense and rapid: "Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters..." In that moment, they knew that the parasite was possibly just a hair's breadth away from the students.
"Damn it!" Shinichi furrowed his brow, his expression serious.
"Shinichi, calm down. There are a lot of people here now, and the other side may not have noticed our location yet," Right comforted Shinichi in his heart.
"Furthermore, the other party should not act so recklessly as to risk exposing their identity in front of so many people by attacking us." Right Continue the analysis.
"It is now about 25 meters to the right front." Right Clearly indicated the direction.
Shinichi pondered for a moment: "This distance is beyond the scope of students lining up. Could it be... a teacher?"
"The other party is also looking for Mi and us. Fortunately, there are many people here. Although our brainwaves can be sensed, the other party cannot specifically lock onto a target," Right added.
At this time, the principal walked onto the main stage of the gymnasium and began delivering the morning assembly speech. He introduced the school's latest activities and emphasized the importance of academic performance and behavioral discipline.
The principal continued, "Due to Teacher Shousann being hospitalized after a car accident a few days ago, we have hired a new teacher to substitute for his math class."
Shinichi was taken aback: "A new teacher?"
"Please welcome Teacher Tamiya to the stage..." as soon as the principal's voice fell, a young and beautiful woman walked onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, I am Tamiya, nice to meet you," the female teacher said with a smile.
At that moment, both Right and Mi almost simultaneously emitted strong warning signals.
"Determined, it's her!" Mi and Right confirmed almost simultaneously.
The principal then said, " Teacher Tamiya will replace Teacher Shousann as the homeroom teacher for Class 3-3."
Rimi and Shinichi locked eyes, each reading deep surprise and confusion in the other's gaze. "Could it be our new teacher for this class?"
"Shinichi, whatever you do, don't make eye contact with her," Right urgently warned.
However, it was already too late, Shinichi and Rimi inevitably locked eyes with the new teacher Tamiya.
This brief eye contact brought immense psychological pressure to Shinichi and Rimi, as if they were tightly gripped by an invisible force.
"She's like a monster! She's the perfect embodiment of parasite!" Rimi almost whispered.
Mi seemed puzzled: "What are you saying, Rimi? Why can't I understand?"
"It's okay, you'll understand eventually," Rimi responded lightly.
"It seems that the parasite wants to maintain the identity of this teacher and has no flaws in interacting with humans. It shouldn't do anything to the people around it now." Right explained.
"If that's the case, then that's good." Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief.
"We still need to stay vigilant, after all, she is a parasite," Rimi did not dare to take it lightly.
"You're right," Shinichi nodded.
The morning meeting ended, and the students returned to their respective classrooms. Although Rimi and Shinichi knew that the female teacher might not pose a threat, they still couldn't completely put down the stone in their hearts.
