Chapter 13: An Explosion in Silence: The Search for Change

It is impossible to change oneself and the world will change with it.

Man does not see reality as it is. You can only see what you want to see and what you want to have.

The so-called reality is nothing more than fixed ideas and pre-existing impressions.

Therefore, when seeking change, people are wrong from the beginning, no matter what efforts they make, they cannot change the fixed pattern of reality, the world will still turn in one direction, and their growth is nothing more than climbing to a higher position in the pyramid of the world.

Just like thousands of students in an academy, as one of them, the end of the effort is only the first place, but being the first place does not mean that the school does not need to exist, or that the people around it will disappear, nor will they let their personality change in the impression of others, but just to get praise, to be prominent for a while, and not to influence the past and the future.

However, Arthur still wants to change himself.

Even if he is in the world of Kiritani Yu, he is just an existence of a 'motivated', perhaps a community of interests.

Even if he is just a passerby to the world of "Parasite", no matter how much he struggles, he is powerless to change the pattern of the world.

After all, he simply hopes that he will change, change the current situation, put a small cog on the huge wheel of fate of the world, and cannot change the whole world, only need to change himself.

To put it bluntly, people's minds will only tend to things that are beneficial to themselves, and before they can change the world, they can only change themselves, and then mistakenly recognize that the world has changed.

Arthur, who was full of thoughts, was extremely calm, perhaps he felt that he was no longer 'human' when he looked at the world from a higher perspective, but while he was thinking about this situation, he was an ordinary human being.

This may be-

A self-narrative that paralyzes the spirit.

It doesn't matter what.

Now, he only thinks about changing himself, at first, he probably envied Kiritani Yu's sassy choice, but in fact, this is just his excessive understanding of her, and today's conversation made him understand that she is just an ordinary girl, but she has some calmness at a critical moment.

Therefore, at this moment, his desire to become stronger should be more inclined to the urgent thoughts of his soul, to obtain the power to change his fate.

His past, his parents, and his true identity, this layer of fog that makes his soul tremble, and it is because of curiosity that humans can fly, and he wants to become stronger not because of Kiritani Yu, but because of himself.

Da ...... Da ...... Da ......

The pace under his feet became more and more brisk, and he could even be said to be in a state of galloping.

Arthur, who ran forward like this, finally saw his first opponent, a woman, about thirty years old, a palm-colored oL office suit that wrapped her curvaceous body tightly, although she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could vaguely feel that the silhouette was very graceful, as if it was a curve like a drop of water, so light that people felt comfortable.

But-

The crimson color that wafted through the air made the world here look out of place for this woman.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people have the impression that what is not normal is the world, right?

However, in Arthur's thinking, it should be this woman who is abnormal.

The woman wiped her lips with a handkerchief very elegantly, the dark square beams and pillars perfectly covered the things behind her, and in the darkness, it was impossible to see what kind of scenery this curvaceous body had.

"Being able to integrate into the world so quickly is really an outlier ......"

Xiao Zuo (left hand) showed his surprise, he didn't expect that there would be such a parasite that understands human behavior, under normal circumstances, he would definitely not mind the blood in his mouth, right?

"What an interesting discovery, I thought it was the same kind, but I didn't expect it to be a parasitic failure...... Great, could you let me go? I'd love to study your structure, but I'm full, and it's a waste of how easy it is to destroy such good materials......"

The woman did not release her killing intent and did not seem to have the idea of fighting.

Arthur hadn't seen any other completely parasitic creatures since last night, so he couldn't tell if all parasites would have this attitude after 'eating', but he knew very well that it was absolutely impossible, and Xiao Zuo had just said that she was an anomaly.

"Do you want to fight? Arthur? ”

Xiao Zuo asked about Arthur's wishes.

"Hmmm......"

Arthur wasn't going to back down at this moment.

"In that case, I won't be able to keep you......"

The woman's head began to split in an instant, and her hair and face instantly twisted and elongated, turning into bright blades at the end.

"This guy...... There are two forms...... Be careful......"

Xiao Zuo stretched out at the same time and began to attack the woman.

For a while, in the entire space, the sharp blade flashed rapidly, and the little spark that burst out made the entire space permeated with a layer of incredible flicker.

Soon, Xiao Zuo fell to the downside.

A woman with two attack forms, making it difficult for Xiao Zuo to parry-

"Arthur, I'm sorry, but I have to use that now...... Otherwise, we're going to be wiped out here, and even if we use that, we'll only be able to compete with her, and the rest is up to you......"

Xiao Zuo said that he used spiritual energy, and his speed and strength increased instantly, gradually keeping up with the rhythm of the woman.

"I didn't expect that you still have hole cards, and it is impossible to improve your strength, and your strength should only be the ones just now...... Could it be this human body? ”

The woman instantly noticed Xiao Zuo's change, and she was also surprised at the same time, when she thought she would win, there was an accident.

"Moving...... Move...... Get up ......"

Arthur, who was still chattering about how to change himself just now, instantly fell into a murderous panic of a woman, and his legs seemed to be frozen, unable to lift a step.

Yes...... It's ridiculous!

The so-called pursuit of change is actually an attitude of eliminating one's own way of existence, and sometimes excessive distorted pursuit may be a heavy package.

As the famous saying goes,

If you don't explode in silence, you die in silence.

There is life and death on both sides of the world line, and no matter which direction is the path of change.

So, what is he going to do?

Suddenly, perhaps it was a compulsion from the soul, Arthur, whose eyes were gradually crimson, waved the iron rod in his hand-
