Inside the room, Kurozawa tried to manipulate the Parasyte Body with his own will, without using the newly formed Lefty, to make his Left Hand shapeshift.
But half an hour later, Kurozawa stared at his Left Hand, a chaotic mess unable to condense into Metal Blades, looking more like a lump of mud, and fell into contemplation.
"It's a bit difficult, but there is indeed feasibility."
Kurozawa's mental strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person, and he could clearly sense the mental consciousness parasitic on his Left Hand.
Moreover, there was a connection between the two.
The parasitism of the Parasitic Organism was not just physical; their mental fluctuations also intersected.
In the original timeline, Shinichi Izumi's personality became increasingly cold and indifferent to life, only improving after Righty fell into permanent slumber.
Kurozawa had already felt Lefty's influence on him before.
However, due to Kurozawa's own resilient mental will, this influence was minimal, practically negligible.
Now, after fusing two Parasitic Organisms, this influence had clearly increased somewhat, but it was still within the range Kurozawa could accept.
One reason he wanted to improve his Intelligence was to counteract this influence.
If fusing too many Parasitic Organisms led to his personality being affected and his mind twisted, it would be a net loss.
Another reason was that Kurozawa wanted to control the Parasyte Body himself in combat.
This also required a strong mental will.
Suppressing the Parasitic Organisms, causing their consciousness to fall into dormancy, and then controlling this countless aggregate of cells to shapeshift... an ordinary person could not do it at all. Only individuals who were also Parasitic Organisms could manipulate the Parasyte Body, precisely because compared to Parasitic Organisms, ordinary humans' mental strength was somewhat weak.
The current Kurozawa could force Lefty into dormancy.
But after that, that extremely subtle manipulation was somewhat difficult to achieve.
Bloody Flesh Tentacles, Metal Blades – these were all formed by individual cells aggregating and transforming, rooted in the Parasitic Organism's instincts.
For Kurozawa, this was a completely new field that required exploration from scratch.
With a thought, Kurozawa stopped trying to condense Metal Blades.
Lefty gained a small portion of control.
It shook its limbs for a while, then looked at Kurozawa and said seriously, "It's very difficult for you to directly control our body."
The meaning of "us" was that it was an aggregate composed of countless conscious cells.
Then, Lefty paused for a moment, changing the subject, and said, "However, I have a temporary solution that allows you to use the Parasyte Body directly."
Kurozawa was startled, then his gaze deepened as he said, "Aren't you afraid of being permanently suppressed and falling into slumber by me in the future?"
When he learned how to use the Parasyte Body as he wished, honestly, the consciousness of these Parasitic Organisms would have no reason to exist.
At that time, in order to eliminate the possibility of being backlashed, Kurozawa would likely find a way to eliminate the consciousness of the Parasitic Organisms.
With the Power of Despair that could attack mental souls, and the Gray-White that moved with his will.
This would definitely not be difficult to achieve.
Lefty's voice was calm and flat, saying, "Whether or not I can think or speak is meaningless to me."
"As long as my own survival is guaranteed, permanent slumber is an acceptable price."
Finally, it seemed to be imitating a human's tone, suddenly joking, and said, "Besides, since I can lie still, why bother and make trouble for myself?"
Kurozawa: ...That seems to be the logic.
Following this logic, had he become the humanoid mecha for the Parasitic Organism?
Thinking of this interesting scenario, Kurozawa laughed dumbfoundedly.
Although he currently held the overwhelming dominant position, Kurozawa still maintained a trace of vigilance in his heart to prevent his mind from being subtly influenced.
Lefty's words could not make Kurozawa abandon this trace of vigilance.
"How can I control the Parasyte Body?" he asked.
Muscles rippled, Metal Cells covered and appeared... Lefty answered Kurozawa's question with action. It quickly transformed eight Bloody Flesh Tentacles, with Metal Blades at the tips of the tentacles, and irregularly mixed with some steel protrusions with barbed curves along the edges.
"I can solidify the attack forms for you."
"It's like setting up a dummy program. You just click a button, and the Parasyte Body will display different attack forms."
The first to appear were the Bloody Flesh Tentacles, which had a wide attack range and could stir up a sky full of blade afterimages when slashing.
At the same time, with Lefty's help and guidance, Kurozawa also vaguely felt the dummy button it mentioned.
In fact, it was Lefty issuing instructions to its own conscious cells. As long as someone triggered it, these conscious cells would aggregate into the corresponding form.
This was also the point that troubled Kurozawa the most.
Directly manipulating the eight Bloody Flesh Tentacles with blades was no longer difficult for Kurozawa.
Then, after becoming familiar with the tentacle blade form, Lefty transformed, changing into the slender, terrifying Demon Blade form it had used when fighting the tall man before.
After fusing two Parasitic Organisms, the hardness and sharpness of the Demon Blade had clearly improved significantly.
Kurozawa just lightly swung it, and the air was torn apart, transmitting a sharp whistling sound.
The advantage of the tentacles lay in area attacks, primarily focusing on dense attacks.
The Demon Blade, however, possessed a much stronger individual attack power than the fleshy tentacles. It was enough to cut through gold and break iron, and Kurozawa felt like he could slice a steel tank in half with a single strike.
Finally, the Demon Blade transformed again. Strands of bright red muscle fiber emerged from his palm, and his knuckles turned a cold gray, full of metallic texture.
All five fingers on his Left Hand transformed into sharp claws, their tips so keen they made one's eyeballs ache just looking at them.
This ferocious Bladed Hand Claw was most effective in close combat.
"You can use these three attack forms directly," Lefty said.
Kurozawa moved his Left Hand, his fingers twisting together, causing tiny sparks to scatter and vanish in the air, accompanied by short, metallic clinking sounds.
He reached out to try and pick up the textbook on his desk.
But with just a light touch, the blue-covered textbook was split into several pieces.
After gesturing towards himself, Kurozawa gave up on the idea of testing the sharpness on himself.
When he only had one Parasitic Organism, his body couldn't withstand the cutting of Metal Blades, let alone now.
Leaving aside his fragile human body, the Parasitic Organism was truly terrifying in terms of offensive lethality.
After displaying the three forms, Lefty calmly said, "Sleeping without worrying about the safety of your life is actually what I wish for."
"From now on, I plan to remain in a state of deep sleep for a long time."
"If you want to communicate or discuss something with me, just stimulate me with those Pitch-Black Flames, and I will wake up."
Having said that, the eyeball retracted into the back of his hand, and the mouth closed and disappeared.
At the same time, Kurozawa's thoughts shifted, and the sharp claws returned to their original state, indistinguishable from a normal hand.
Tapping the desk lightly with his fingers, Kurozawa stared at his Left Hand for a long time.
After merging with Righty, this new Lefty seemed to have changed.
It actively requested to sleep?
A series of related memory scenes flashed through Kurozawa's mind.
In the original trajectory, after the surrounding environment became stable and safe, Righty voluntarily left Shinichi Izumi, restored his hand to its original state, and fell into an eternal deep sleep.
Was this dominated by Righty's thoughts?
Kurozawa's eyes flickered. After thinking for a while, he stretched his limbs a few times and climbed onto the bed.
Under the bright moonlight outside the window, he also fell into a deep sleep.
