AWB Chapter 40 Parasite Dungeon
Chapter 40 Parasite Dungeon
While the outside world was in an uproar, Roy and Ryu had already run into a new instance.
The most difficult feat has been accomplished; all that remains is to max out his stats. Roy can't wait a moment longer. His injuries have barely healed, and he's already eager to take the elf girl into the dungeon.
Anyway, he doesn't have to do any work.

……
Skyscrapers stand tall, and the streets are bustling with vehicles and crowds, showcasing the prosperity of a modern metropolis.
Roy and Liu emerged from a side alley in a commercial street, immediately attracting a lot of attention; their distinctive adventurer attire was too eye-catching.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen cosplay before?" Roy said irritably to the people around him.
Upon hearing this, a look of realization flashed across the faces of the pedestrians on the street, and their gazes couldn't help but linger on the beautiful elven girl for a moment before they went about their own business.
Compared to the world of giants, this modern society allows Ryu to show his face more openly.
Generally speaking, no one would dare to touch or harass you, since sexual harassment is a serious crime in island nations.
What is cosplay?
"Playing the role you like in everyday life is like how the little people like to play the hero Finn of their race. In this secret realm, elves are legendary beings, and they think you are playing an elf."
Upon hearing this, Liu understood, but she was a genuine spirit, not some fake!
Because she was the real deal, with her beautiful and charming figure and face, she easily outshone many big stars on the screen, and soon attracted several blond-haired young men.
"Little sister, you're so pretty! Where are you from?"
The blond-haired youths surrounded Liu.
A hint of disgust flashed across Liu's brows.
"Brother, let's talk in private!" Roy stepped forward, put his arm around the other man's shoulder, and said with a smile.
Roy forcibly dragged the blond-haired youths into the alley they had just come from, where a series of heart-wrenching screams immediately erupted.
When Roy came out, he was carrying forty or fifty thousand yen. He curled his lip and said, "A poor wretch who doesn't know where his next meal is coming from. He's trying to pick up girls with this little bit of money."
The two were walking on the commercial street.
Liu was very curious about everything in modern society, like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden. She touched this and looked at that, and asked Roy about things like TV shows and cars from time to time. However, the frequent stares from those around her made her very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Liu stopped in her tracks, her sky-blue eyes fixed on a green trench coat in the shop window.
"I want that dress."
"purchase!"
Without saying a word, Roy pulled out his money. Since he had just stolen it, he didn't feel bad about spending it.
A moment later, Liu came out, her petite figure wrapped in a loose trench coat, her small head covered by a hood, finally making her less conspicuous.
Roy regretted buying her the clothes when he couldn't see the elven girl's long, golden, rice-like hair and pointed ears.
"I'll pay you back for the clothes," the elven girl said earnestly to Roy.
Roy replied, "No need, it's nothing."
The elven girl's attitude was very firm, and she seriously took out her little notebook to write it down.
Roy didn't bother with her; he was thinking about how to find the parasites, monsters that hid in human society and could freely change their shape and face.
It's not easy to find out who it is.
There are two options.
Shinichi Izumi, who has a symbiotic relationship with the parasite, or a human who can sense the parasite's special wavelength.
Choose the softest persimmons to squeeze.
Roy unsurprisingly chose the latter, asking passersby for directions to North High School. He and the elf girl arrived at a school in the town.
Fortunately, schools in island nations have early dismissal times, so the two didn't have to wait too long. About half an hour later, the bell rang, and students came out one after another.
"Kana Kimishima, a second-year high school student, is my older sister. May I ask where I can find her?" Roy stopped a student from time to time, a sunny and cheerful smile on his face.
"..." Ryu felt that this person was a complete liar. She had the same feeling last time in the Giant dungeon.
He can lie without blushing or skipping a beat; his skill is so refined that he's a true veteran actor.
But Roy's handsome face and sunny smile were indeed easy to make people lower their guard. A naive first-year high school girl was fooled by him. "Is she Kimishima, the second-year high school student? I'll go call her for you."
Seven or eight minutes later, the girl with long, straight black hair led a group of people angrily out of the school gate. Her eyes swept around and locked onto Roy as she walked quickly towards him.
"Is it you? You've got some nerve!"
Kana Kimishima's tone was icy; she didn't have a younger brother at all, so she instantly saw through the other person's lie.
Roy put away his bright smile. "Ms. Kimishima, may I speak to you in private?"
Kana Kimishima's face froze slightly, sensing a hint of danger. Normally, once a con artist is exposed, they would flee immediately...
"Kid, don't get too cocky!"
The young man behind Kana Kimishima, Mitsuo, had a stubble beard and looked like a typical gangster. A ruthless look appeared on his face as he reached out to grab Roy.
However, Roy was faster.
Roy grabbed the other person's wrist, gently pulled him up, and the other person's body instantly flipped over, falling heavily to the ground with a "thud" as he landed on his back.
Mitsuo was stunned by the fall, his pupils widening. He was considered a skilled fighter in this area, but he couldn't see Roy's movements clearly—they were too fast!
"asshole!"
Three or four young men behind Mitsuo rushed forward.
Ryu didn't even need to lift a finger; Roy, despite his injuries, could easily take them down.
In less than ten seconds, cries of agony filled the air.
The fight between the two sides terrified the surrounding students, who looked at Roy with fear in their eyes. Mitsuo was a notorious delinquent at school, yet Roy was able to take down several of them by himself.
That body seemed to harbor a terrifying power.
The security guards at the school gate also kept their distance. Why risk their lives for a few hundred yuan a month? Just call the police and be content with your salary.
Roy smiled and said, "Let's go!"
Kana Kimishima had no right to refuse. She reached into her pocket and sent the message she had just edited on her phone to Shinichi Izumi.
Roy noticed her subtle movements but didn't say anything. It would be best if Shinichi Izumi could come over; it would be a double celebration!
Shinichi Izumi's right hand is inhabited by a parasite, and Kana Kimishima possesses an extraordinary sense that allows her to sense the parasite's approach.
