Colluding in Secret
"There are only the three of us here, do you really need to say such high-sounding things?" Xiao Ying scoffed.
"Yes, what she said makes some sense. If I'm the only witness, buddy, you still can't completely clear your name, right?"
The caregiver cautiously offered some words of advice.
He did believe that Lu Bai had this idea, and of course, part of the reason he stood up to persuade him was to protect himself.
"A witness? Uncle, if he really laid a hand on me, do you think he'd let you go?"
Xiao Ying first warned the caregiver, then turned to Lu Bai and continued, "Are you really planning to use him as a witness? Fighters can't trust each other. I don't want to say it, but that's the truth."
Lu Bai was alright; he didn't react much after hearing it.
Instead, the caregiver's face turned red with anxiety. "You're making baseless accusations! Don't listen to her trying to sow discord, young man!"
"Alright."
Lu Bai raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling them to be quiet.
He then took out his phone, glanced at the time, and muttered, "How can he have no sense of time at all?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the shadows of the alley.
"We didn't exceed the time limit."
Soon, several figures emerged from the shadows, led by a tall woman.
She wore thin-rimmed glasses and exuded an intellectual and sophisticated aura.
Seeing this, Xiao Ying instinctively sensed something was wrong and blurted out, "What's going on? Deathmatchers?"
Lu Bai was clearly familiar with this group of people who had suddenly appeared; to be precise, they were the ones he had been waiting for.
He strode towards the sophisticated, mature woman. "Haven't been hunting lately, have you?"
"You have no doubt, we sincerely want to coexist peacefully with humanity."
Yes, this group of people are actually Parasitic Organism.
Thanks to the ability of Parasitic Organism to sense each other's own kind, they can quickly form teams.
However, it is almost impossible for intelligent life forms with individual differences to be of one mind.
Parasitic Organism are no exception.
Although the primary goal is to perpetuate the race, internal divisions are inevitable.
In short, there are currently two main viewpoints regarding Parasitic Organism.
One method involves changing hosts to seize political power from the top and brutally take control of human society from the top down.
Another approach involves waving the De Da and calling for peaceful coexistence with humanity. The goal is to gradually develop in secret, eventually reaching a point where a minority group can influence mainstream public opinion, similar to the LGBT movement.
The group of Parasitic Organism in front of us were naturally the latter; their connection with Lu Bai was actually an accident.
Because they had originally sensed Yao Yi and were preparing to win over their own kind...
We've gone off on a tangent.
In short, as far as Lu Bai was concerned, he didn't really care what these Parasitic Organism were up to.
It doesn't matter which viewpoint you take.
He wouldn't believe it anyway.
The reason he didn't directly use his Long Fang to kill the monsters that dared to come looking for him three days ago was precisely to use them now.
After all, committing the perfect crime in modern society is extremely difficult.
But once they've entered the Deathmatch Arena, mutual slaughter is inevitable.
Finding a group to take the blame becomes the best option.
It's worth mentioning that Lu Bai had only kept this as a backup plan, and he himself didn't expect to be able to use it so soon.
The conversation between Lu Bai and the intellectual woman, overheard by the caregiver and Xiao Ying, was utterly terrifying upon closer examination.
"You actually cooperated with a monster?!" Xiao Ying instantly realized she was in a bad situation and ran away as fast as she could without hesitation.
Before he could run more than a few steps, Lu Bai swiftly swung his blade, severing the fighter's head in one stroke.
During this process, only the flash of the blade was visible; no one could actually see the Long Fang themselves.
"Do both of them need to be modified to look like us?" Peng Dan asked.
She was not surprised by Lu Bai's sudden attack and remained as friendly as a China Unicom customer service representative.
[Bite!]
[Points +1, Current Rank 15/463]
A mechanical voice rang in his head. Lu Bai shook his wrist and hugged the caregiver.
He added with a chuckle, "We'll kill him later."
"Why?" Peng Dan asked, puzzled.
"Because he wanted to see more of the world."
If you continue like this, I'm going to leave this beautiful world.
Xu Qiang's face was full of displeasure.
It's perfectly normal for Lu Bai to ask him to clean up after he's taken down the Parasitic Organism; that's how they've been cooperating lately.
But shouldn't it be done so frequently?
How long has it been?
Do you really think he's a smear campaigner?
Moreover, he heard that this "Parasitic Organism" was quite well-behaved at first and didn't resist at the hospital.
They watched as two special agents put Xiao Ying into a body bag and took her away.
Xu Qiang leaned closer and lowered his voice. "Tell me honestly, did you provoke it on the way?"
"Yes." Lu Bai spread his hands indifferently.
"Are you perhaps having some kind of mental problem?!"
Xu Qiang glared at him twice, barely managing to compose himself, and explained earnestly, "I know you always can't help but want to kill these monsters, and so do I."
But what time is it now? The higher-ups are pressing so hard; at least capture someone alive first, right?
Even if things aren't going to go this far, you can't do it like this, can you? It's too blatant, leaving so many unanswered questions. How am I supposed to write this report?"
"OK."
Lu Bai readily agreed.
After getting to know him over this period of time, Xu Qiang could easily see that Lu Bai didn't take it to heart at all.
He pointed his finger at Lu Bai several times, saying forcefully, "Don't let this happen again."
The caregiver standing nearby was dumbfounded. He had witnessed the entire incident and there was absolutely no need for him to appear as a witness.
It's no exaggeration to say that if Lu Bai had decisively killed him just now, it probably wouldn't have had much of an impact.
"Should we take him with us?"
Lu Bai pulled the caregiver over.
Xu Qiang was silent for a moment, then finally shook his head. "No need, you can handle the rest. Just make sure he doesn't spread the news about the Parasitic Organism everywhere."
"Oh?"
Lu Bai understood the hidden meaning in Xu Qiang's words. "The higher-ups have decided to issue an official announcement?"
In modern society, it's difficult to completely block any news.
Even though cyber police are constantly deleting information about Parasitic Organism online, after so many days, some rumors and gossip have inevitably emerged.
In the information age, everyone can be a self-media outlet, and the number of Parasitic Organism is indeed quite large.
As time goes on, these messages naturally cannot be suppressed indefinitely.
Don't make wild guesses.
Xu Qiang immediately changed the subject, instead asking, "So, are you still going to sleep at the hospital later?"
Lu Bai glanced at the location map released by the Deathmatch System and said with a smile.
"Yeah, where else could we go?"
