The battle lasted for several tens of minutes, and finally, under the continuous suppression of firepower, the parasite was unable to move. The Special Forces team, after ensuring safety, captured it using a specially made net.
The captain reported through the radio, "The target has been subdued. Please advise on the next course of action."
Government officials immediately decided to bring the parasite back to the research institute for in-depth analysis after receiving the report, hoping to obtain more biological information and potential weaknesses about the parasite.
Although Shinichi and Rimi felt relieved by the success of this operation, they were well aware that the battle against the parasite had just begun. They must continue to stay vigilant and prepare for more potential challenges.
Rimi murmured quietly, "I wonder if there's still time to stop Tamura Reiko from creating the invincible parasite with Goto..."
Shinichi asked, "Who is Goto, Rimi?"
Rimi explained, "It's a kind of almost perfect parasite created by our former mentor Tamura Reiko. Tamura Reiko is not scary; she has children, and her intelligence is too high. Sooner or later, she will assimilate with the human body and her own children."
"But there's no use worrying now. Let's first be on guard against Hidekatsu from the school. We didn't see him at the factory just now."
The next day, at the school gate after school, Kanae waited nervously, her eyes scanning the passing students from time to time.
Since the last mistaken premonition on the street, she hasn't given up. She believes that she must have some kind of telepathic connection with Shinichi, but she hasn't fully mastered how it works yet.
This time, she feels a strong premonition - she will definitely recognize Shinichi today.
At that moment, Hidekatsu appeared in her line of sight. Hidekatsu walked with a firm pace, carrying an inexplicable sense of urgency. Seeing this scene, Kanae's heart couldn't help but quicken. She hesitated for a moment, then patted Hidekatsu's shoulder and greeted him, "Hey, Shinichi."
In response, Hidekatsu turned around and asked, "What's up?"
Kanae quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
She was puzzled, "Huh? Strange, do I feel duller?"
Kanae apologized, "I thought you were Izumi."
Hidekatsu became even more suspicious: "Quan? What's really going on with you?"
He continued, "Mistaking someone for another person usually only happens when their faces or backs look similar. It's too strange. How could I look like Quan?"
Kanae said, "I've already apologized, what's wrong with you?"
Then his hand was grabbed by Hidekatsu, who still couldn't listen and remained suspicious, saying, "Come with me, I have something to ask you."
"Do not, what are you doing? Let go of me?" Kanae shouted.
Just as Shinichi was about to step forward, Rimi grabbed him. "Shinichi, don't worry, there are government officials nearby. Let's follow them first, and when they return, they will evacuate the students nearby and ask them to leave this area quickly."
"Okay, Rimi, I'll follow your lead," Shinichi replied.
Shinichi and Rimi noticed Hidekatsu's unusual behavior and exchanged a glance, silently deciding to follow along and see what Hidekatsu was up to. They trailed behind Hidekatsu and Kanae at a certain distance, trying to avoid being noticed.
Hidekatsu brought Kanae to a secluded area behind the school, surrounded by towering trees and dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves. He stopped and turned to Kanae with a serious expression.
"Kanae, can you sense me?" Hidekatsu spoke in a deep and powerful voice.
Kanae was a little puzzled by Hidekatsu's meaning, but she still nodded, "I... I feel something unusual, but I'm not sure what it is."
Hidekatsu smiled slightly, seeming satisfied with Kanae's response. "Your feeling is correct. I am not an ordinary person, I have a unique mission. Your intuition might be able to help me."
Shinichi and Rimi were observing all this from a distance, using a high-definition telescope to watch the conversation between Hidekatsu and Kanae. Rimi whispered to Shinichi, "It seems like Hidekatsu has a special plan for Kanae, we need to be careful."
At that moment, Hidekatsu suddenly demonstrated his parasitic ability to Kanae, his hand transformed, revealing inhuman features. Although Kanae was terrified to see this, she also felt a strange sense of premonition being confirmed.
Hidekatsu said calmly, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I just want to prove that some things are beyond your imagination. If you're willing, you can do me a favor."
Rimi looked anxiously at Shinichi, signaling him to get ready. Shinichi nodded, indicating that she should prepare.
Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence. The Special Forces, acting on government orders, intervened abruptly. They stormed the scene, preparing to take action against Hidekatsu and Kanae. Shinichi and Rimi immediately jumped out, loudly warning the Special Forces: "Be careful! He is a parasite, but Kanae is innocent!"
The Special Forces reacted quickly, concentrating their firepower on Hidekatsu while ensuring Kanae's safety. Seeing this, Hidekatsu's tentacle-like arms quickly extended, forming a protective barrier that blocked the bullets' attacks.
"I don't want to be your enemy," Hidekatsu's voice sounded unusually calm amidst the chaos of battle, his eyes flashing with unpredictable light, "I am just seeking a way to survive."
However, the Special Forces were not ready to give up. They adjusted their strategy, beginning to use more precise aiming techniques, attempting to bypass Hidekatsu's defenses. The battle grew increasingly intense, and Hidekatsu's defenses began to show cracks.
Rimi pulled Kanae towards the safe zone, shouting to Shinichi, "Shinichi, we need to find a way to stop all of this!"
Shinichi nodded, quickly thinking of a solution. Suddenly, he thought of a possible way out. "Wait! We can use non-lethal weapons. Let me try!"
He quickly negotiated with the commander of the Special Forces, suggesting the use of stun guns and tranquilizers to subdue Hidekatsu in a non-lethal manner, avoiding further harm. After a brief consideration, the commander issued new orders.
The Special Forces members immediately changed their weapon configuration, beginning to use stun guns and tranquilizer darts to target exposed areas of Hidekatsu. After several rounds of precise shooting, Hidekatsu finally slowed down due to the effects of the tranquilizer.
After ensuring that Hidekatsu had completely lost resistance, the Special Forces quickly approached, using a specially made net to restrain him, and then swiftly transferred him to a transport vehicle equipped with special restraint devices.
Shinichi and Rimi stood quietly on the side, observing the entire process.
Although this operation temporarily prevented a potential school disaster, Rimi felt heavy-hearted. He knew that the battle against the parasite was far from over, and the problems they faced were much more complex than imagined.
As the last rays of the sunset faded, Shinichi, Rimi, and Kanae stood in the distance, watching the transport vehicle leave. Each of them had their own thoughts, but they all understood that this was just the beginning of a long battle.
