Chapter 303 Heartache (Original)

"...Yes, I've considered it, Manager."

Ke Xinjie said solemnly to the manager of the milk tea shop.

The manager is also a girl, but she is a little older.

She looked at Ke Xinjie and saw that there was no one around, so she asked in a low voice, "Xinjie, have you found another job?"

"Actually, I can say that...I have saved enough money, and my parents have sponsored some start-up funds for me. I plan to open a nail beauty shop with friends I knew before..."

Ke Xinjie immediately told the truth and said slowly.

After all, she has a good relationship with the manager.

"In that case...I'm relieved."

The manager breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you were going to resign directly because of your impulsiveness..."

After chatting with the manager for a while, Ke Xinjie completed the resignation application.

However, the manager was still very enthusiastic to use the employee benefits for her and ordered two cups of milk tea for free.

Ke Xinjie walked out of the milk tea shop, but she didn't feel much relief.

On the contrary, the next step for her was an unprecedented new challenge.

After all, working for someone else is completely different from opening a shop and being the boss.

During this period, she has been running around, and she feels the hardship even more.

After a detailed discussion with her partner, she rented a store, found someone to decorate it, contacted the supply source... In addition, she had to continue working in the milk tea shop.

This really made her exhausted, and she didn't even have time to read comics or watch TV series.

But... after these preliminary work was almost completed, she officially quit her job at the milk tea shop...

Finally, she can relax for a while!

Ke Xinjie took the milk tea ordered by the store manager for free, put it in her car, and planned to drive home.

"I haven't read comics for a long time..."

She suddenly thought of comics and said, "The Protoss and Parasyte should have been published in single volumes now, so I'll go to the bookstore to buy the single volumes and go back to read them."

She was exhausted enough in the past two months, and she didn't have time to read comics or watch TV series at all.

Now she finally has some free time, can't she enjoy it?

After a while, the nail salon will be busy again...

Then there will be no time.

So, Ke Xinjie drove to a nearby bookstore and bought two new single volumes of "God Clan" and a complete set of single volumes of "Parasyte" - because buying the current complete set of three single volumes of "Parasyte" comes with a short comic "Goodbye Eri" by Lin Qingshan.

So she bought them all.

As for "God Clan", when she opens a shop and makes a lot of money, she will definitely buy a complete set of three sets!

One set for collection, one set for self-reading, and one set for preaching!

…

"Oh, I'm so tired!"

Ke Xinjie took the comics and milk tea and moved back to the old building she rented.

After all, she is just an ordinary worker, and she certainly doesn't have the money to rent an apartment with an elevator like Lin Qingshan.

Ke Xinjie made up her mind that when she has money, she must move to a commercial apartment with an elevator!

At that time, she will also bring her parents from her hometown to enjoy the good life in Shanghai!

She put the milk tea aside first, and then took the comic book and put it on the sofa.

Then she put the straw into the milk tea, lay on the sofa, and prepared to enjoy the long-lost comic time.

Ke Xinjie first finished reading the latest two volumes of "The Protoss". "The Protoss" is really popular now.

The latest "The Protoss" has been praised as the best-selling fantasy youth comic in the Republic in the past five years.

It can even compete with the earlier "The Lord of Secrets" for the title of the best-selling fantasy youth comic in the past ten years, and compete with "Chainsaw Man" for the title of the best-selling comic of the new generation.

And the popularity of "The Protoss" is getting stronger and stronger. The first part of "Dawn of Fire" was just average, and it felt tepid.

In the second part, "Eyes of the Mourner", the opening was a king bomb, rainy night, Maybach and viaduct, and it continued to rise later.

At present, although the plot of the third part is still being serialized, it feels that the world view is richer and the plot is more interesting.

I can only say that…Lin Qingshan’s previous life’s “Dragon Clan” was also like this. The second part started to reach its peak, and the third part established its status as a fantasy masterpiece in one fell swoop—if there were no fourth and fifth parts.

Of course, the comic fans in this world don’t know this.

Like Lin Qingshan at the time, they were completely immersed in the colorful world view and exciting plot of “The God Clan” and couldn’t extricate themselves.

Ke Xinjie also finished reading the two new single volumes of “The God Clan” recently, the touching “Tokyo Love Story”, and the subsequent attack of the fierce ghosts and the current biggest behind-the-scenes mastermind—Wang Jiang’s appearance.

But in the end, the single volume plot ended with speculation about the identity of the unlucky Yang Mingfei and what the little devil was.

"It seems... the little devil is the second personality that was split after the brain surgery of the bad boy?"

Ke Xinjie took a sip of milk tea and guessed, "So the bad boy should be the Black Emperor! But the little devil is not the White King."

Still immersed in the story of "God Clan" for a while, Ke Xinjie picked up the single volume of "Parasyte" and started reading.

The last time she read "Parasyte" was... Episode 13, and she didn't continue to read the following episodes 14 and 15.

At present, Ke Xinjie still thinks "Parasyte" is not bad.

But she can't like the male protagonist.

In other words, apart from Xiaoyou, there is currently no character in "Parasite" that she can like.

The male protagonist Shinichi is too cowardly. Without Xiaoyou, I really feel that he is just an ordinary student who is bullied.

Needless to say, the male protagonist’s parents are just ordinary people, with no bright spots at all.

The same goes for the female protagonist, and the female parasitic beast Tamiya Ryoko...she is still a character in the villain camp.

Therefore, Ke Xinjie doesn’t think the comic “Parasite” is very interesting yet.

It's just that she is a fan of Lin Qingshan's comics and believes in Lin Qingshan's creative ability, so she keeps reading.

Ke Xinjie opened the second booklet, found the page number of Chapter 14, and started reading.

She saw that Shinichi still had different views from Xiaoyou, and was still bullied without the ability to fight back.

This made her a little angry.

Why is Shinichi still so cowardly?

Then Ke Xinjie saw the plot at the end where Quan's mother was killed by a parasitic beast and took over her body. She was still a little uncomfortable.

Maybe it's because girls are more emotional.

Especially this is the mother of the protagonist Shinichi.

With comic fans generally assuming the role of the protagonist, Ke Xinjie certainly doesn't feel comfortable.

Turning to episode 15, Shinichi, who still doesn’t know that his mother has been killed, is eating instant noodles at home.

But at the same time, the phone he put aside rang.

"Is this a call from a public phone booth?"①

Although Xinyi was a little confused, he still answered the phone.

"Shinichi?"

Quan's father's voice came over the phone, and the screen switched to him. He was now seriously injured and making calls in the phone booth.

"dad?"

Shinichi asked doubtfully.

"Your mother...Xin...Axin..."

"Mom her?"

Shinichi said with a bad premonition flashing through his heart.

However, Quan's father did not tell the story of Quan's mother's murder, but said, "...Go to the police quickly, that is a monster..."

Then he fell limp.

Although Shinichi was very anxious, there was nothing he could do.

And he heard Quan's father mention Quan's mother and the so-called monster on the phone just now...

He had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that... his parents encountered a parasitic beast?

That mother...

In fear and worry, Xinyi dreamed of Quan's father and Quan's mother's voice, but Quan's mother suddenly left him.

But just then...

Xiaoyou felt the brain waves of a parasitic beast nearby, and headed towards it and Shinichi.

Xinxin immediately cheered up, even though he didn't want to kill other humans, and he didn't want to take action.

But he will not be polite when facing the parasitic beast.

So he picked up a knife from the kitchen at home and planned to kill the parasitic beast with Xiaoyou.

"...It stopped and was already at the door of the house."

Xiaoyou felt the brain waves of the parasitic beast at this time, and immediately said to Shinichi.

"Okay, then let's solve it together!"

Xinyi took the knife and walked out of the living room.

He cautiously approached the door of his home with Xiaoyou, holding a knife and preparing to fight at any time.

At this moment, the door handle was turned open...

"here we go again……"

Ke Xinjie suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar, "This...Xinyi, please don't open the door..."

Isn't this the scene from "Chainsaw Man"?

Then the door opened and there was my mother whose body had been taken over by a parasitic beast...

This... is as miserable as Denji's time.

Only this time, it's not the protagonist who opens the door, but the other party who opens the door himself.

"Did you open the lock?"

Brand New One was also very confused and said.

After all, don’t parasitic beasts usually just break in through the door?

And you need a key to open the door... Where did this parasitic beast get the key?

At this moment, the screen showed the feet of the parasitic beast walking in.

Shinichi and Xiaoyou watched closely the shadow approaching at the door...

The shadow grew longer and longer, and finally...

A familiar figure and face appeared in front of Brand New One and Xiaoyou!

That's...quanma!

But her cold expression revealed her current true identity...a parasitic beast!

The parasitic beast killed Quan's mother and took over her body, and came to find Shinichi!

Ke Xinjie felt that she was numb when she saw this scene...

If Quan's mother died like this, she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.

But... this parasitic beast took over Quan Ma's body and turned into Quan Ma's appearance to find Shinichi!

Shinichi immediately froze on the spot, and even Xiaoyou... had a shocked expression on his face.

The parasitic beast stretched out its scarred right hand and placed it on the wall.

This makes Xinyi feel no luck anymore...

That's mom.

But he didn't believe that his mother was killed by a parasitic beast and even took over his body!

"mom……"

Shinichi shouted with the idea of ​​luck.

However, "Quan's mother" still looked indifferent. After all, she was not Quan's mother, but a parasitic beast!

"mom?"

Brand New One couldn't believe it again and wanted to keep trying, so he shouted.

However……

"Didn't that man come back?"

The parasitic beast that had taken over Quan Ma's body still said with an indifferent expression.

"mom……"

"Shinichi, no, she's not."

Xiao You reacted at this time and said calmly.

However, Xinyi was unwilling to accept this cruel fact, but continued to smile and said to the parasite that occupied Quan Ma's body, "Welcome home... Ah, Mom, you are so strange..."

Ke Xinjie looked at this scene and felt so distressed that she didn't know what to say.

She burst into tears and felt extremely sad.

"Why... Why did the protagonist's mother's body be occupied by a parasite, and it also used Quan Ma's appearance to find Xinyi."

Ke Xinjie really saw this scene and said with great heartache.

However, the parasite that occupied Quan Ma's body ignored Xinyi, a human, but turned its eyes strangely and glanced at Xiao You.

"What's going on? Why is it parasitic on the right hand?"

She said indifferently.

"It occupied your mother's body and became your mother's appearance."

Xiao You said to Xinyi.

However, at this time, Xinyi looked at the parasite that occupied Quan Ma's body opposite, and he still didn't want to believe this fact in his heart.

Even if the facts are already very clear.

But humans are animals that escape reality.

"Oh, this..."

Shinichi actually held the knife in front of Xiaoyou and said, "I was going to tell you earlier, but I kept delaying it until now... I was afraid of scaring you, sorry!"

"Shinichi, she's not your mother..."

"Shut up!!"

Shinichi roared, interrupting Xiaoyou.

"Is that man really dead?"

The parasitic beast that occupied the body of Quan Ma said at this time, "No, it is necessary to go back and confirm it."

"Shinichi, let go of the kitchen knife, it is in the way."

However, Shinichi continued to want to "wake up" Quan Ma, saying, "A talking right hand, it's very strange..."

"Right hand? You are so unlucky."

The parasitic beast that occupied the body of Quan Ma said, "I failed to occupy the brain and was dominated by humans."

"Mom... I will tell you everything I have hidden from you!"

Shinichi really didn't want this to be true, still avoiding the facts, trying to say to Quan Ma, "So don't joke with me like this again..."

"Shinichi, wake up, your mother has..."

Xiao You still wanted Shinichi to wake up.

"Shut up, shut up, you are a monster!"

But Shinichi fell on Xiao You's body with a knife like crazy, and blood dripped onto the ground.

"Mom...Mom, do you still remember?"

He smiled sadly, looked at "Zenma", and said, "The wound on your hand... Every time I see this wound, I can't let it go, and I want to apologize to you..."

But under the sad gaze of Shinichi, "Zenma's" head split open.

"Shinichi!"

Xiaoyou was about to remind him, but it was too late.

Zenma's head turned into a blade and pierced Shinichi's chest!

I will finish writing the "Parasyte" part as soon as possible by the end of the month...I feel that everyone seems to dislike "Parasyte", so I will hurry up.
