Special Department

"These old people are all Parasitic Organism."

After reporting the situation, one of the special operations team members was also astonished.

They had all seen them before and knew that these flesh-and-blood monsters could easily kill an ordinary person, let alone so many monsters at the same time.

However, judging from the situation at the scene, there did not appear to be any normal human corpses.

Taking down five flesh monsters without taking any damage—what kind of outrageous combat ability is that?!

Upon confirming this, the man in the leather jacket's pupils dilated slightly, and he suddenly became hesitant to approach Lu Bai and Yao Yi.

"Excuse me, could you two please pluck a single hair from my head?"

Is this okay?

Yao Yi did as instructed, but she didn't quite understand the reasoning behind it.

Lu Bai could roughly guess the reason.

It seems that no matter what kind of Parasitic Organism it is, as long as it occupies the head, you can tell from the hair.

He was human, so naturally he had nothing to worry about. He then plucked a hair to prove his identity.

Seeing that the hairs the two men had pulled out didn't cause any change, the man in the leather jacket secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to remove their handcuffs.

He casually handed the handcuffs to the special agent beside him and solemnly asked, "Tell me honestly, did you kill all those monsters?"

Upon hearing the word "monster," Yao Yi's eyes lit up immediately.

"You know those are monsters? You believe us?"

The man in the leather jacket nodded.

"Of course, we are a department specifically established for such incidents..."

According to the man in the leather jacket, this Parasitic Organism hasn't been around for very long.

All the sightings of the Parasitic Organism occurred within this week.

In response to a growing number of reports in this area, Special Affairs Bureau was quickly established to handle such incidents.

After all, they knew very little about Parasitic Organism and were unsure where these parasitic clumps of flesh came from. To avoid panic, they did not disclose the matter of Parasitic Organism.

"... On the surface, they appear no different from ordinary people. The simplest way to verify this is, like you just did, to pluck a single hair."

The man in the leather jacket was very friendly, almost as if he was deliberately trying to build a rapport.

Yao Yi pondered for a moment, "No wonder, but I think it's better if you go public, otherwise, more people will definitely be killed."

"Well, the higher-ups are still discussing whether to make this public, so it's not up to me to decide."

The man in the leather jacket spread his hands, indicating his helplessness, and then asked, "Can you tell me how you dealt with so many Parasitic Organism?"

"This... it's actually none of my business," Yao Yi somewhat awkwardly.

"Let me speak."

Lu Bai scratched the back of his head and explained with a chuckle, "You call these Parasitic Organism, right? It's actually quite simple. After you destroy the human body they're parasitizing, the Parasitic Organism will die on their own."

"This is us..."

"I'm better at fighting." Lu Bai knew what the man in the leather jacket was going to say and gave his answer in advance.

Upon hearing this reply, the man in the leather jacket's eyes widened, giving him a look that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?"

The main reason is that Lu Bai exudes an aura of harmless weakness, making it hard to believe that he could be so fierce as to kill several Parasitic Organism single-handedly.

The man in the leather jacket was speechless, unsure how to tactfully express his doubts.

Just then, an untimely special agent ran over.

"Report, the hospital says the female survivor has woken up."

The man in the leather jacket hesitated for a moment, then waved to Lu Bai and Yao Yi: "Then come with us to the hospital to get checked out. We can talk about anything else in the car."

Tong Shujuan did not suffer any external injuries; it was simply that her emotions fluctuated too much, and her brain, as a self-protective mechanism, caused her to fall into a coma.

So the first police officers to arrive only took her to the county health center, which wasn't too far from the scrap metal collection station where Lu Bai and the others were.

In a clean, single hospital room.

Tong Shujuan lay half-reclined on the hospital bed, staring straight at the yellowish wall. If you looked closely, you would notice that her pupils were not actually focused.

"Ms. Tong Shujuan, may I ask you a few questions?" The man in the leather jacket spoke very softly so as not to provoke her.

On the way there, Lu Bai had already learned that the man in the leather jacket was named Xu Qiang, and his intuition told him that this guy was probably not a deathmatch fighter.

In other words, so far, he hasn't encountered a single deathmatch opponent.

This is actually quite rare.

Based on the information he gathered online, while the initial positions of the Deathmatchers were randomly distributed, they were not entirely without pattern.

Generally speaking, the pattern expands outwards from the location where the "Node" appears.

With this distribution pattern, unless he's really unlucky enough to be placed on the outermost edge, he shouldn't be able to avoid encountering a single deathmatch fighter.

Or is it because of the title he holds that those deathmatchers dare not approach him?

No way? There were clearly two hidden titles...

Lu Bai glanced at the information on the System Panel, noting that it was different from the previous round where nearly half of the deathmatch fighters were eliminated at the very beginning.

In this round of Deathmatch Showdown, half a day has passed, and the number of eliminated fighters is still in the single digits.

All I can say is that they're all quite stable.

"Then you should get some rest first. Let me know when you're ready to talk."

Seeing that Tong Shujuan didn't react, Xu Qiang sighed helplessly and said to Lu Bai in a low voice, "Let's talk in the corridor."

Lu Bai had no objection and followed Xu Qiang out of the ward.

It was already late at night, and the corridor was quiet, except for the distinctive smell of disinfectant from the hospital, and the occasional nurse making her rounds.

In this environment, Xu Qiang even deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke.

"Mr. Lü, and Mr. Yao, since you also know about those Parasitic Organism, I won't hide it from you."

Xu Qiang's gaze lingered on the two of them. "With more and more Parasitic Organism incidents being exposed, the Special Affairs Bureau is under a lot of pressure. I sincerely hope that you can tell us the whole story without any concealment."

Perhaps in the places you've overlooked lies a highly effective method for dealing with Parasitic Organism, and only in this way can more people be saved. On behalf of all my colleagues in the department, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Although his words carried a hint of moral blackmail, his attitude was quite sincere.

However, Lu Bai knew very well that his method was not replicable, so he simply continued to use his good skills as an excuse.

However, his reason was so unbelievable that Xu Qiang didn't believe it and wanted to continue persuading him.

Ding dong~

My phone beeped with a message notification.

Xu Qiang looked down and saw that his subordinate had sent him a surveillance video of the intersection and a photo of an ID card.

He first opened the surveillance video, and as the video played further, his eyes widened more and more.

I involuntarily gasped.

"Hiss..."
