Chapter 216 - 5.26 You’re A Parasite?!
"Hmm! Hrmphh!" The President shook his head again and again.
"Speak human language please." Lu Yizhou retorted in a bored tone. He slipped out the folded knife from his boot, opened it and dangled the glinting blade in front of Merrick’s eyes. "Or do you wish someone would get hurt today?"
Merrick stilled, staring at the knife with wide, terrified eyes. No, no! He couldn’t let the knife graze his skin! Being humiliated and condemned didn’t even hold a candle compared to having his real identity exposed to the entire world... Real tears started to rain down his face as he shook his head weakly. He wanted to plead for mercy, hell, he could even grovel under the General’s feet. Anything — anything but this!
Lu Yizhou could more or less guess what was running in the President’s mind. Wait, did he still have a brain? No, right? The King had definitely devoured Merrick’s brain and what was left of this person was neither the wise ruler nor the sentinel he used to be anymore. He was nothing but a parasite. A chuckle escaped Lu Yizhou’s lips. He was curious to see what the parasite would do in the face of imminent peril. But judging from how desperate Merrick looked, it seemed like the parasite had no way to escape once they had settled in someone’s body?
[666: That’s right! Host is very sharp, intelligent and mighty! Indeed, the greatest weakness in parasites which have evolved into the final stage is that they can no longer leave their vessel’s body. Moreover, the vessel will also weaken after a long period of time. They can only wait until the vessel dies before searching for another one!]
Lu Yizhou raised a brow. [In the original plot, the main protagonist has succeeded in transferring the King to himself before Merrick died.]
[666: *chuckle nervously* Host, why do you have to seek logic in the main protagonist’s golden finger? Who knows what they are doing behind the closed door. It’s not important according to the original plot, Host!]
Lu Yizhou knitted his brows, still dubious. Well, he would slowly work out the logic behind it later. Who knows... maybe it would be another hidden plot like in the previous world. Right now, he had more urgent matters to do. "I hate to resort to this kind of method, President." Lu Yizhou sighed and shook his head as if he truly regretted it. "But what should I do? Oh." He paused briefly for the sake of suspense and judging from how Merrick’s body shook even more wildly, he had succeeded greatly. "How about confessing everything yourself? Right here and now?"
Merrick nodded rapidly. "Hmm–mmm!!"
