(Heartfelt thanks to "bill8932" for the 10,000 reward, and to "Liu Jin Yu Shui Yue," "love|acg," "Die Xue Ao Shuang," "Rou Shao Yue," "I Love Little Sisters," "Yunqi Qinggu," and "Kui Yuan-ge" for their rewards!)
Itogami City, southern residential district, apartment building...
Flipping through the documents in his hand, Wu Yan stepped into the elevator and let it carry him upward. His wine-red eyes moved over the pages filled with writing as his mind raced, committing everything he saw to memory. A thoughtful gleam flashed through his eyes.
Yase Motoki had just given him these documents, containing information on the Masked Parasites!
Since there was no way to determine what kind of modification those two unknown ordinary people had undergone to become like that, nor what sort of ritual had granted them such formidable combat power, the Artificial Island Management Corporation had been unable to identify their true nature.
However, regardless of what those two ordinary people had become, their forms were extremely similar.
They wore revealing garments made of fur that barely covered their chests and lower bodies. A pair of glowing wings grew from their backs, and strange masks covered their faces.
For the sake of convenience, they had been dubbed Masked Parasites.
What surprised Wu Yan was that there were not merely two Masked Parasites.
Recently, there had been quite a few incidents where monsters of this type, sharing the same appearance, fought each other to the death and caused collateral damage to their surroundings!
Whenever Masked Parasites were discovered fighting, the Special District Garrison would be dispatched. Yet by the time they arrived at the scene, all that remained was a pile of ruins and one Masked Parasite that had not been dead for long...
As for the other one, it had vanished without a trace...
