The final gentleman

In a luxuriously furnished hourly room,

Nash was sitting on the edge of the big bed, constantly taking deep breaths to relax his mind, adjusting his state as much as possible, and recalling his nature as a parasite as much as possible.

“Boss William, do you want me to take a shower first?

Although I had washed myself many times before leaving the circus, every part of my body was scrubbed clean.

But I accidentally fell into the sand and walked a while. My body may be a little dirty, and it may not be good for it to be parasitic in your brain. "

William stood leaning against the door, and when he sensed the ripples going out, he found that the entire inn was empty, "It's okay, there's no need to force the issue of cleanliness~ By the way, Nash, you have quite a reputation, but these people are so afraid of you.

How many people has this guy killed before to make these people so scared? "

Nash's scattered eyes swayed back and forth, as if he was making careful calculations.

"It should be the parasites in their bodies that are afraid of them, right? That's not right. There are other sick people in this hotel... In total, the number of people I have killed is only a hundred or so at most.

But all of these people seriously hinder the development of the circus.

He thinks he wants to investigate the truth about the circus,

Or those who dare to hinder and intercept the supply of goods to the circus are looking for death.

Under normal circumstances, Art will not come forward. If I lead a poker-faced assassination team to quickly clean up, it will inevitably expose myself. "

"Well, okay~ let's start parasitizing."

"Is it about to start!? I thought you were going to perform some special rituals or take a nap, boss."

"It's just a simple parasitism, why is it so complicated? Come on, haven't you been training parasitism during this time?"

"Training is training. It's inevitable when you really need to practice... Okay~ let me prepare."

Nash was too nervous and his body secreted fluid crazily.

Slowly, his disguise as a human completely faded away, turning into a super-large amoeba that was completely transparent, like solid water.

"Can it be made smaller?"

Facing William's question, Nash could no longer answer.

He continued to shrink through drainage, eventually reaching the size of a finger, which was the smallest size he could achieve.

"Come on~"

William gently picked up Nash with his palm and put it next to his ear.

Letting this soft thing travel along the ear hole to the brain, the process was very slow, and it even felt like Nash was secreting bodily fluids due to excitement between the ear holes, making the ears stink.

When Nash actually climbed to the brain area, he was immediately shocked by what he saw.

As an amoeba that specializes in parasitic brains, Nash's genes are engraved with various 'strategies' for the brain. In his childhood, his parents also instilled a lot of knowledge about the brain and learned about different types of brains.

But the [epileptic brain] presented in front of him was far beyond his cognition.

This is not a brain at all. In Nash's view, it is more like a black galaxy full of death.

Absolutely spherical Gestalt brain,

Dark fog surrounds the brain,

The modified annular artery surrounds the epileptic brain like a star ring, providing the best quality blood circulation.

The "skull", which is engraved with words and patterns and looks like a circuit board, is like a barrier that imprisons the Death Star.

Nash, who was excited, nervous and full of desire, actually calmed down at this moment. He seemed to be floating in the star space, and everything became quiet.

He gradually heard the call from the epileptic brain, awakening his instinct as a parasite, slowly crawling up the brain, going deep along the optimal sulcus circuit, and parasitizing inside it.

Before you know it, the parasitism is complete.

When the nerves in Nash's body are perfectly connected to the brain... Buzz!

He was suddenly pulled by a burst of consciousness, following the complex epileptic brain network to the depths, to a hidden consciousness space.

In a blink of an eye,

Nash actually fell into a library in human form, and William was sitting opposite him.

"Boss, is this... the consciousness space you built yourself? These books are all concrete manifestations of memory, and they are so delicate. It is worthy of you!"

Nash was so excited that he even rubbed his entire face against the wooden tabletop, feeling the delicate wood grain.

"It seems that you are still very good at parasitism."

"It's just to meet the needs of the boss. I will never be a parasite in anyone else's head except for you... I used to feel sick when I thought about parasitism. But now I just feel happy and feel that I can become Parasites are just so lucky.”

“During the passage, if you stay here honestly, you may be able to minimize the side effects of world crossing.

Don't look through my memories, don't have any curiosity, just sit still and don't move. "

"I know, I won't touch anything without your permission, boss."

Buzz!

William returns to the real body and travels through the [Passage].

The reason why he chose to let Nash parasitize him at this time,

In fact, I want to conduct a final test.

After all, William had obtained Yi Chen's memories and had seen many hypocritical people. It was not uncommon for that well-disguised 'friend' to bite back at him until the end.

Now that William is about to leave the circus and develop on his own, he must test Nash's loyalty.

Let's see if he, as an amoeba that specifically targets the brain, is interested in his own epileptic brain, and if he has a very secretive plan.

Even if there is any "bad idea", it will be caught as soon as it occurs.

Once it is determined that Nash has his own despicable thoughts, William will directly abandon him here. If the circumstances are serious, he will even be taken to Zion for execution.

When crawling between the passages, William deliberately slowed down to prolong the test.

【library】

Nash sat upright, his eyes as wide as bells, and his whole body was trembling.

The library in front of him was too tempting for him;

It’s not as tempting as a parasite trying to parasitize the brain and seize ownership.

But in his opinion, these books involving William's related memories are just extremely tempting limited editions and perfect photo albums in private collections. They are clearly placed beside him but he cannot read them.

This was simply the ultimate torture, even worse than having countless steel needles pierced into his body.

Moreover, what Nash didn't know was that there was an eye watching him in the secret passage behind a certain bookshelf. As long as he made any abnormal movement, murderous intent would strike.

pity,

Not only did Yi Chen not wait for the opportunity, he actually couldn't stand it. Nash was sitting motionless on the bench, his legs shaking while his right hand was still moving rapidly.

Halfway through the passage,

William suddenly received a message from Yi Chen,

"William, no need to monitor anymore, you are wasting my time."

"What's wrong?"

"This perverted boy who is extremely obsessed with you has fainted. It seems that he has been tortured in unprecedented pain. Climb out quickly~ Such a talent will be very useful in the future."

Climb out of the tunnel,

William immediately moved Nash's consciousness out of the library, and then awakened it through the nourishment of the epileptic brain.

"Nash, why did you faint... was it because of the side effects of traveling through the passage?"

"Cough cough cough~ It's not... it's my own problem.

Don't let me go to that library again. It's too painful. I can learn more about you through those books, but I can't read any of them. "

William also consoled me very kindly, "If you want to understand, cooperate with me more and cooperate with me in killing enemies, performing, and obtaining resources, and you will gradually understand more.

Now I share all my vision, hearing, etc. permissions with you, experience the human world~ Slowly try to help me during the journey, and cooperate with me to reveal the characteristics of the disease. "

"Okay~"

After walking out of the temple corresponding to the passage and standing on the top of the mountain, Nash also felt the thick gray matter filling the air.

"Huh? There is basically no difference between this place and the old world~ The pathogenic gray matter is so thick, it is estimated that the world will be completely infected in less than ten years.

By the way, boss, where are the friends you mentioned? Is it far from our place? "

Unexpectedly, William's finger did not point to any direction, but pointed straight up at the clouds.

"ah?"

"On the moon... the current location of the moon is far away from us. I'm afraid we need to cross the ocean to reach another continent in this world."

"moon!!"

(interlude)

With the departure of William and Nash,

The owner of Heizi Inn breathed a sigh of relief. After leading all the guests back, he went alone to clean the hourly room where the two of them had stayed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw completely soaked sheets and a strange smell that made the boss stand there for a long time, thinking deeply. Finally, he shook his head and asked someone to throw away the sheet completely and replace it with a new one.
