Yunyi left, leaving Mayumi Saegusa and the two little ones at home. After he left, Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa went into the room.
The two women hadn't kept their conversation hidden from the two girls. Knowing their sister well, they knew that her emotions would definitely be affected after Yunyi left, so they came to keep her company.
" Kasumi, and Izumi, what brings you two here?" Mayumi Saegusa asked in surprise.
The twins sat down next to their older sister, each holding one of her arms, their little heads resting on her shoulder.
"Sister, we've come to keep you company," Izumi Saegusa whispered.
"Yes, yes, we'll keep you company until your brother comes back," Kasumi Saegusa chimed in.
"You two are really something..." Mayumi Saegusa, caught in the middle, chuckled helplessly.
To be honest, every time Yunyi went to handle matters, she was left at home. This wasn't exactly a pleasant feeling. However, Mayumi Saegusa wasn't the type to just complain. With her current strength, she might not be able to help Yunyi, but the things Yunyi had to do didn't all rely on strength, did they?
Just like the intelligence system she currently manages, if Yunyi hadn't helped with its operation and had to handle it himself, he would probably have been driven to the brink of madness by the chaotic information. Being able to help with these matters is Mayumi Saegusa's strengths. Although, while others might be able to do these things, could those people gain Yunyi's trust?
Seeing that Mayumi Saegusa's smile didn't seem forced, the twins felt a little relieved. Although they were already quite close to Yunyi and the others, what mattered most to them was that their older sister was happy.
Having left home, Yunyi wandered through the streets and alleys of Tokyo, searching for Lina and the " Parasite."
He initially thought that the " Parasite " wouldn't linger in crowded places; they would likely choose lone individuals as targets for their fragmentation and parasitism. However, after traversing numerous alleyways and secluded parks, he couldn't find any trace of the " Parasite." As for Lina, there was even less to say. While she wasn't particularly skilled in other areas, she was quite adept at stealth operations.
Standing on the rooftop of a building, Yunyi Yunyi looked down at the endless stream of cars and slowly closed his eyes.
" Domain Expansion!"
As the Fool's World unfolded, the surrounding fluctuations in Psions immediately stabilized. And as the area covered by the domain gradually expanded, Yunyi finally tracked down the three figures moving through the dark alley.
The Psions surrounding these three figures were unusually active, and even with the interference of Domain Magic, they could not return to a stable state. This was because Yunyi was not directly controlling the Psions within the domain, and also because these three were using a continuous spell.
Finding someone in a metropolis is like finding a needle in a haystack. Now that he'd found some clues, even if they were wrong, he was prepared to go and check them out. But just as he was about to set off, the information relayed by his Domain Magic made his expression turn serious.
The three people who kept moving forward immediately met up with the other two after leaving the dark alley, and then ran towards a more secluded park. This action immediately caught Yunyi's attention.
The park was located in a secluded area, a frequent haunt of lone individuals and couples on trysts. Yunyi had recently explored the area but found no trace of the " Parasite." Yet these people were targeting this park; did they have other leads?
Thinking of this, Yunyi immediately set off towards the park. While he was making his move, in the park in the distance, Lina was already locked in combat with her target.
While she was in the hospital, Lina received the latest orders from the military. She already knew that the " Parasite " had left the America and landed in Japan. Originally, the military had assigned her to continue the mission of contacting Yunyi, while the hunting mission was handed over to the other "STARS" members who had accompanied her to Japan.
As a result, during the hunt, two members of "STARS" were parasitized and turned against them, putting "STARS" in a difficult situation in their hunt of the Parasite. Moreover, after parasitizing the "STARS" members, the " Parasite " obtained a lot of information from their memories, and even obtained the terminal used by "STARS" for internal communication, thus keeping track of the movements of their other members.
This sudden turn of events made the "STARS" unit an instant target for those " Parasite." Compared to ordinary people, the members of "STARS" are far more powerful. Parasitizing them not only grants access to a vast amount of knowledge and abilities, but also significantly increases the success rate!
Upon learning of this information, the military immediately relayed the intelligence to Lina and issued her orders to resume the hunting mission and execute the "STARS" members who had been parasitized.
" Claire, take Rachel and step back! Leave the rest to me!" Lina shouted, ordering the two team members who were assisting her in the battle.
As the battle continued, the number of "people" parasitized by the " Parasite " appeared in the park. The balance between the two sides, which had been maintained, was now on the verge of being broken.
"Captain!" the wounded Rachel shouted. She had basically lost her fighting ability and was only able to stay conscious by sheer willpower.
"Go!" Lina shouted.
Even she was struggling to cope with the onslaught of the " Parasite." Perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way if she had made more preparations.
The moment this thought crossed her mind, Lina immediately shook her head, trying to banish these chaotic thoughts from her mind. But in that instant, the surrounding Parasite seized the opportunity and swarmed around her!
"Captain!" Claire, who was supporting Rachel, shouted in horror. They had witnessed the "STARS" members being parasitized, and naturally did not want to see Lina also touched and parasitized by this creature.
"I demand the light array, bind me!"
