Gun Parry, I Learned It

This is the second time today that Yi Sha has felt her life is full of drama.

"Brother? Is it really you?"

She stared blankly at the figure emerging from the escape tunnel, unable to reconcile the person with the familiar figure from her memory.

My memory of my brother is that he was always wrapped in a thick blanket, always wearing black-rimmed glasses and holding books, staying in his room and never coming out. He would only come out to eat and go to the toilet.

But now

Fan En jumped down from the escape tunnel. As his clothes fluttered, a large amount of brutally cut and mangled flesh mixed with pus and blood burst out in the tunnel behind him. The heart, lungs, and intestines of the parasite exploded like fireworks, and viscous blood flowed at his feet!

It's like the transformation explosion of Super Sentai! Only in a bloodier version!

The sudden change stunned everyone, not just the survivors, but also the parasites.

"Heh, heh ah."

Several familiar voices came from inside the escape tunnel, and within seconds several figures crawled out of the tunnel in a disheveled state, almost drowning in blood and flesh.

Upon closer inspection, people realized that the people who were panting heavily were actually the survivors who had been running at the front. They were the first to be tackled after encountering the parasite. Everyone rushed back after seeing the parasite, but they never expected that these people would still be alive!

It was this young man dressed in clothes they'd never seen before who saved them!

Apart from Yi Sha, no one else recognized Fan En at all, and to be honest, Yi Sha herself was a little unsure.

Besides, in this kind of atmosphere, she couldn't possibly run over and lift off someone's mask to take a closer look, could she?

"Awoooooo!"

The parasites attached to the middle-aged man's head emitted a piercing scream, and the surrounding parasites rioted again, rushing towards the survivor. The closest one was about to grab Yi Sha with its filthy claws.

"Bang!"

Another thunderous gunshot rang out, making the survivors' ears ache.

An incredible thing happened: the moment the host was shot, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and then his knees buckled and he fell to the ground, his body wide open.

A dark shadow flashed by, Fan En swooped down to him, his empty right hand punching directly into the chest of the parasitized man!

Blood exploded, accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound of flesh tearing apart. His empty-handed grab seemed to possess terrifying power, and a single critical hit caused the parasite to bleed to the extent that one would only see in anime!

The parasite died on the spot.

Fan En twirled the Hunter Pistol in his hand and nodded in approval of the result.

Although his Gun Parry often misses when facing monsters in the dungeon, he almost always hits the parasites. Is this the difference in skill level?

He turned around and looked at Yi Sha behind him.

The little girl had already opened her mouth and stared blankly, looking completely dazed. This was quite different from her usual calm demeanor, and it even had a touch of cuteness to it.

Seeing this, he was about to pat the other person's head as usual, but then he saw the gloves covered in blood and flesh, and put his hand down halfway.

Yi Sha's pupils trembled violently. There was no mistake, the person in front of her who habitually raised his hand was her brother!

Who turned my brother into this?!

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but suddenly exclaimed:

"Careful!"

The parasitized person who had been lying on the ground suddenly started convulsing. Wasn't he dead?

That's right, the body is indeed completely dead, but the Hidden Blood Parasite inside it are not!

Suddenly, a large number of Hidden Blood Parasite erupted, wrapping around Fan En's body like intricately intertwined red threads. They sensed the fragrance of the human's blood and rushed towards the wound on his arm, burrowing into his body before anyone could react.

Yi Sha let out a desperate scream; with parasites burrowing into her body, she was certain to die!

The next moment, Fan En raised his hand and stuffed the fever reducer into her mouth, stopping her screams.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Despite having parasites burrowing into his body, Fan En acted as if nothing had happened. He waved his hand, turned around, and slowly took steps towards the parasites.

As the bitter medicine flowed into her mouth, Yi Sha watched his retreating figure, feeling a strange and inexplicable emotion welling up inside her.

Is this confident-looking person really the older brother?

The parasitized middle-aged man couldn't pull out the Saw Cleaver from his chest, so he simply gave up and lashed out at Fan En with his mutated arms like whips.

Fan En looked at the faces of his acquaintances, his expression as gloomy as water. With a light touch of his toes, he dodged the attack with graceful movements. Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and when they saw him again, he was already in front of the middle-aged man.

"Sizzle—"

The Saw Cleaver that was stuck in the strong man's ribs was forcibly pulled out, and the force from Fan En's hand caused him to lose his balance and fall backward involuntarily.

Before his vision was completely turned upside down, the middle-aged man saw the other man's eyes, which were lowered under his tricorn hat.

Those were hunter's eyes.

With a swift stroke, the blade fell, and the head flew into the air. The middle-aged man was instantly transformed into a headless knight, falling backward.

The mutated parasite that was parasitizing his head instantly detached from its original host and rushed toward the nearest parasite with lightning speed.

"Bang!"

The gunshots were like the howls of a deadly ghost. The head of the parasitized creature above it was instantly Quicksilver Bullets, and its body fell like trash.

Shooting might not be very effective against a seasoned adventurer, but it's enough to kill an ordinary parasite.

The mutant missed its target. With a flash of cold light, the Saw Cleaver brutally chopped off the end of its body, cutting off a section of its large body!

The scream that erupted in an instant was beyond words; all that could be known was that it was music formed by the intertwining of extreme pain and extreme fear.

It seems that the higher the degree of mutation of a parasite, the higher its intelligence, and its mind develops towards that of a human, enabling it to feel sensations that other parasites cannot.

That would be for the best, because Fan En doesn't intend to let this guy die a quick and painless death.

"Stand up."

He kicked the mutated parasite away in the blink of an eye. Whether intentionally or not, the mutated parasite landed on a host, and immediately clung to the host as if grasping at a straw, urging the body to mutate at full speed—if he was too slow, there wouldn't be enough time to defend himself.

Fan En kicked the parasitized host who was undergoing mutation and trampled the struggling monster under his feet.

The Hunter Pistol at the head and fired several shots, the Quicksilver Bullets all heading towards the mutant. While firing, he also used his transformed Saw Cleaver to sweep away the parasitized people around him!

The mutant immediately detached from the body, its massive body bouncing several times on the ground before leaping onto another host.

However, before it could even begin the modification, a bottle containing an unknown liquid was sprayed onto its face.

Fan En fired a shot at the Molotov cocktail. The cocktail exploded, and flames flew everywhere. The monsters hit by the flames screamed in agony.

Even though the flames from this Molotov cocktail were less powerful than those released by Yi Sha and the others earlier, for some reason, the Molotov cocktails brought from the dungeon were extremely effective against these parasites!

It's like going from double the weak fire to four times the weak fire!

The mutated creature, engulfed in flames, let out an even sweeter scream.

The sound of the Saw Cleaver through the air flashed again, and another large chunk of flesh was missing from the mutant's body. Its life force was rapidly draining away, and even the power to bounce onto other parts of its body was disappearing.

However, someone will help it; it cannot be allowed to die so easily.

Fan En kicked it onto the nearest host, and despite being extremely exhausted, it still followed its instincts and merged with the body.

Once it has almost fully integrated with the new body, Fan En will use a different method to tear it off, and then use Saw Cleaver to cut off a large chunk of flesh.

He is deliberately torturing the mutants.

The parasitized individuals nearby were commanded by the mutated species to attack Fan En, completely ignoring the survivors who had fallen into a daze. However, their attacks could barely touch the enemy, not even the hem of their clothes.

This is the superb agility that Fan En developed under the hospitable treatment of the people of Yharnam at the bonfire party!

So, how about directing the parasitized to attack the survivors, forcing Fan En to return to defend?

The mutant had just issued the order, but as soon as the parasitized creature began to move toward the survivors, Fan En pulled out a knife and slashed his wrist.

Bright red blood dripped onto the ground, and a rich fragrance that only parasites could perceive instantly spread, causing all the parasites present to freeze for a second.

Then they pounced on us like wolves and tigers!

Completely ignoring everyone else!

For the first time in its life, the mutant, possessing a degree of intelligence, experienced despair.

The opening was still too small; only a limited number of parasitized individuals could squeeze in, and it couldn't form a torrent to crush Fan En.

People stared blankly as he tortured the mutants using various bloody methods. The old woman, pale-faced, nudged Yi Sha and asked, "Do you... do you know him?"

Yi Sha's lips twitched slightly as she told people to hide.

"I think I need to get to know myself again."

With a final, mournful cry, the mutated creature, which had been chopped down from nearly two meters in length to just a tiny bit, finally met its end.

The shelter was now almost entirely soaked in blood, except for the area where the survivors were standing, which remained relatively clean.

The Hidden Blood Parasite wriggling in his blood were all attracted to Fan En and swarmed towards him. He calmly threw out a Molotov cocktail to purify most of the parasites, and it didn't matter if the few remaining parasites burrowed into his body.

The parasites were terrified by the horrific scene and lingered at the cave entrance, too afraid to enter. Parasites are living beings too, and they too can feel fear.

The number of parasites that burrowed into Fan En's body should have filled him up long ago, so why is this human still acting like nothing happened?

Some of the parasites approached the cave entrance, seemingly intending to come down, but Fan En looked up and met their gaze.

"Alas!"

The parasites immediately retreated!

Having finally killed the mutant and avenged himself, Fan En didn't stand still to savor the taste of revenge.

He pulled out two Oil Urn and smashed them against the hole, then threw out a Molotov cocktail. The flames, fueled by the oil, roared and formed a temporary barrier between people and the parasites.

"Come with me!"

He grabbed Yi Sha and tucked her under his arm, then called out to the people who had snapped out of their daze.

This place is not safe to stay for long; he can't possibly kill so many parasites by himself.

Because his previous performance had completely fooled everyone, people followed him even without knowing his identity; this was their only lifeline.

Only then did Yi Sha have time to ask in shock:

"Brother? Are you really my brother?"

"Genuine or genuine."

Fan En coughed, and there seemed to be blood seeping out from under his black mask. When did he get injured?

Yi Sha's mind was in turmoil, with a whole host of questions she wanted to ask, but Fan En shushed her.

"We'll talk about it when we get there."

Where are we going?

"A warm and hospitable place."
