Shinichi proceeded cautiously along the dimly lit street, every step unusually careful. There was not much traffic near the north gate of the school, and the surroundings were quiet, with only the occasional sound of insects in the distance disturbing the tranquility of the night.
He approached the location mentioned in the report and hid in the shadow of a large tree, observing the movements around him. Before long, a figure slowly approached from the opposite alley, and it was Hidekatsu. He seemed unaware that he was being monitored.
Shinichi held his breath and observed Hidekatsu's every move. Just then, Hidekatsu suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if listening for something. He turned his head, scanned the surroundings, and then quickly walked forward, disappearing into the night.
After waiting for a moment to make sure Hidekatsu had gone far, Shinichi quietly followed. The distance between them continued to shrink until they arrived at an abandoned factory area. It was dark and desolate, seemingly a secluded place chosen by Hidekatsu.
Shinichi hid behind an old machine, staring intently at Hidekatsu. He watched as Hidekatsu stood in front of what appeared to be an ordinary warehouse door, then pulled out what seemed to be a normal card from his pocket and swiped it at a device on the door, which opened silently.
Hidekatsu entered the warehouse, and Shinichi followed closely, cautiously entering this mysterious place.
I found it empty inside, just like a small warehouse with no furniture or items.
Izumi Shinichi quietly observed Hidekatsu in the dark warehouse. Hidekatsu walked to the center of the warehouse, and suddenly the floor began to move, revealing a hidden staircase leading downwards. Without hesitation, Hidekatsu quickly descended the stairs. Shinichi cautiously followed, afraid to make any noise.
The stairs led to a more secretive underground chamber, modernly furnished with various technological devices and large screens displaying data and maps. Hidekatsu stood in front of the central control panel, busily operating something.
Shinichi was hiding in the dark, feeling extremely shocked. All of this was beyond his imagination - Hidekatsu actually had such resources and skills.
Suddenly, Hidekatsu stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked around as if sensing something. Shinichi nervously held his breath, afraid of being discovered.
Hidekatsu's voice echoed in the quiet basement: "I know you're here, Shinichi. There's no need to hide."
Shinichi was startled and knew he could no longer hide. He had to step out from the shadows and face Hidekatsu. "What does all this mean, Hidekatsu? What do you want to do?"
Hidekatsu's expression was complex, seeming somewhat helpless and weary. "Shinichi, I actually don't want to hide it. I am indeed a parasite, but different from the ones you've encountered. I am searching for a way to coexist peacefully, a future where parasites and humans can live together."
Shinichi looked at him warily. "Coexist? Do you really think that's possible? All the parasites before have lived by killing and plundering."
Hidekatsu nodded, "I know that there have been many tragedies in the past, but that doesn't mean there's no possibility for change. The research I'm conducting here is to find a way to reduce our reliance on human physical needs."
Shinichi slowly let down his guard, trying to understand Hidekatsu's position, "So, what were you just operating on?"
Hidekatsu turned to the console and pointed to a chemical structure diagram on the screen. "This is a synthetic protein. I hope it can mimic certain nutritional components of the human body. If successful, perhaps we won't need to rely on humans anymore."
After hearing this, Shinichi's lingering doubts did not completely dissipate, but he began to understand Hidekatsu's difficulties. "All of this sounds incredibly unbelievable, but if it can really be achieved, perhaps it could be a solution."
Later, Shinichi left, somewhat believing Hidekatsu's words, and told Rimi about the incident.
Rimi incredulously said, "Impossible. In the original, he was still eating people. How could he change for the better? Or did I change the storyline ever since I saved my aunt?"
Shinichi asked in confusion, "Rimi, what are you saying? Why can't I understand anything?"
In the campus night, Shinichi and Rimi discussed everything that had just happened. Although Hidekatsu proposed the concept of peaceful coexistence, their doubts still lingered. Both of them were well aware that the world of parasites was far more brutal than humans could imagine.
"Shinichi, even if Hidekatsu claims he is seeking a peaceful solution, we cannot fully trust him. After all, he is a parasite, and we have witnessed the brutality of other parasites before," Rimi said softly, her eyes shimmering with concern.
Shinichi nodded, "You're right. We need more evidence to prove his true intentions. Right now, all we know is that he has a secret research facility and some high-tech equipment, which is not enough to explain his entire plan."
While Izumi Shinichi and Murano Rimi continue to investigate Hidekatsu's secret, the government's special task force has begun a more in-depth investigation into the parasite issue.
They learned about the case of Izumi Kazuyuki's death, which prompted the organization to secretly send representatives to Shinichi's home to learn more details.
One clear morning, a black sedan stopped in front of Shinichi's house. Several formally dressed government officials got out and knocked on Shinichi's door. Izumi Shikibu received them, and despite feeling heavy-hearted, she understood that this was the reality she had to face.
government officials expressed deep sympathy for Izumi Shikibu and expressed the government's concern about the threat of parasite. "We have learned about your husband's ordeal, which is a very serious incident. Our goal is to prevent such tragedies from happening again and ensure that all affected families receive the necessary support," an official said.
Subsequently, the government provided financial assistance and counseling services to help Izumi Shikibu and Shinichi cope with the funeral and grief. They also arranged for experts to conduct in-depth research on the nature and behavior of parasite in Shinichi's family, hoping to find effective ways to address it.
On a quiet afternoon, Shinichi and Rimi met with the government's Science advisor in the study at home to discuss the characteristics of parasites. "We believe that through scientific methods, we can find a way to control or coexist with the parasites," the advisor said, presenting a series of research data and advanced monitoring equipment.
Rimi raised her own question: "But the behavior of parasites is extremely unpredictable. How can we ensure that no one else will be harmed?"
Science advisor Seriously answered, "This is exactly what we are focusing on in our research. In addition to Physical protection and Medical research, we are also exploring technologies for early detection and warning. It will be a long process, but we are confident in making progress."
During this period, the government not only provided assistance to the Shinichi family, but also strengthened the promotion and education of Parasite phenomenon nationwide, raising public awareness.
As the days passed, the lives of Shinichi and Rimi gradually returned to normal. However, they were well aware that the battle against the parasite was far from over. They continued to track Hidekatsu, hoping to uncover the true intentions behind his proposal for peaceful coexistence.
