Near Kurozawa, Ryoko Tamiya nodded, still imitating Kurozawa's Breathing Technique non-stop.
Although Kurozawa was certain she couldn't learn it, what Ryoko Tamiya lacked least was a strong thirst for knowledge. She wouldn't stop imitating the Breathing Technique just because of a single sentence from Kurozawa.
"Hirokawa, is it?"
"Using the City Hall building directly as a gathering place for Parasitic Organisms, you really have some nerve."
Kurozawa, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up.
Just now, his Fighting Spirit Domain had covered the building layer by layer, discovering the presence of many Parasitic Organisms.
There were at least forty or fifty of them.
A government building on the human side, the City Hall of a city, had actually become a den for Parasitic Organisms to hide. This kind of boldness was completely inconsistent with his harmless appearance.
As expected, you can't judge a book by its cover.
There should also be a reason for the 'light under the lamp' effect; it was hard for the human side to think that a person at the mayoral level had already defected, and one who was full of anti-human thoughts at that.
However, before the Parasitic Organisms appeared, Hirokawa had already become a mayoral candidate and had high popularity among the public. Even without the help of the Parasitic Organisms, this term's mayor was basically in his pocket.
Looking at it from another perspective, it was somewhat ridiculous and ironic that a person with Hirokawa's personality could climb to the position of mayor.
Suddenly hearing Kurozawa's voice, coupled with Ryoko Tamiya's words from earlier.
Although Kurozawa now looked like an ordinary person, and there was no hint of danger about him, in Hirokawa's eyes, he seemed like a dangerous individual bathed in blood.
Many people didn't know the fighting power of the Blade Breakers department.
A small team of fully armed soldiers, all elites drawn from various units, three or four people with guns could deal with one Parasyte. In a favorable location, one person with one gun, keeping their distance, could also kill a Parasyte alone.
After all, they had a fatal weakness; they weren't durable.
What did it mean to be able to wipe out a fully armed team and be completely unscathed? Two words involuntarily popped into Hirokawa's mind.
Invincible.
If Kurozawa heard that, he would definitely make him take those two words back.
The last 'invincible' had already stopped thinking a long time ago; he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
"The more dangerous a place is, sometimes the safer it is." Hirokawa didn't set up a 'this place is absolutely safe' flag like Ryoko Tamiya did.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are a human." Tapping his fingers lightly, Kurozawa's words carried a deeper meaning.
He wanted to know what kind of psychology drove Hirokawa to betray his own kind and choose to help the aliens.
Meeting different people was one of the events that brought Kurozawa pleasure during his journey through worlds.
Right now, Hirokawa was a very interesting person.
However, Hirokawa on the other side thought Kurozawa didn't trust his human identity, which was why he said that to test him. Most of the Parasitic Organisms here also thought the same.
Ryoko Tamiya spoke up for Hirokawa: "He has been fully helping us avoid human searches and is a trustworthy companion."
As for the reason, Ryoko Tamiya actually didn't understand Hirokawa either.
Her acquaintance with Hirokawa was actually initiated by Hirokawa himself.
She didn't know how he discovered the traces of the Parasitic Organisms, but he went alone, without any bodyguards or weapons, to a place where the Parasitic Organisms were gathered at the time.
An abandoned warehouse in a remote location.
Facing a group of Parasitic Organisms that had assumed combat stances and looked ferocious, although he showed fear, he spoke eloquently, explaining the role he could play, and actively invited the Parasitic Organisms to guard him.
This was both for convenience in relaying messages and also actively entrusting his life to the Parasitic Organisms to reassure them.
With Hirokawa's help, secret dining halls were set up in many locations throughout the city. The Parasitic Organisms lured humans to the dining halls to hunt, and then Hirokawa helped to eliminate the traces.
To this day, Ryoko Tamiya still finds it hard to understand Hirokawa's actions. Every time she asks him for the reason, he just casually says some vague words to brush her off.
It was Hirokawa's existence that made Ryoko Tamiya deeply realize the complexity of humans.
There could actually be people who helped aliens kill their own kind, and Hirokawa didn't gain any obvious benefits, and was constantly in danger himself.
The position of mayor was originally won because of his strong abilities; the help from the Parasitic Organisms was just the icing on the cake.
Meanwhile, Hirokawa waved his hand, indicating that Ryoko Tamiya didn't need to speak for him.
He walked towards Kurozawa, then pulled a small armchair back and sat down.
He sat up straight, his back erect.
Hirokawa faced Kurozawa's deep gaze without fear.
Then, he answered very seriously: "Any human, whether they do good or evil, is destined to cause countless lives to die because of them from the moment they are born."
"And precisely because I am human, the primate of all things on this planet, I must choose to protect the Parasitic Organisms."
Kurozawa raised an eyebrow.
He really didn't expect Hirokawa's answer.
He had thought Hirokawa would directly say it was because he couldn't bear humanity's destruction of Earth's environment and therefore wanted to help the Parasitic Organisms, but now it seemed to be somewhat different.
"Please speak." Kurozawa showed a polite and friendly smile.
Hirokawa looked straight ahead and continued seriously: "On this planet, there is only one species that takes whatever it wants from other species, and kills indiscriminately, and that is humanity, the sole overlord of Earth."
"We have no natural enemies; no creature can constrain humanity."
"Therefore, the human population is surging, already overwhelming this planet. Many species are on the verge of extinction, disappearing from the ecosystem little by little. This situation causes me deep anguish."
"But at this moment, the Parasitic Organisms appeared! Parasitic Organisms, whose instinct is to prey on humans, are humanity's natural enemy!"
At this point, Hirokawa's voice grew increasingly impassioned, and the Parasitic Organisms in the room all turned their gazes towards him.
Goto spoke up, "Since you know we are humanity's natural enemy, why do you treat us this way?"
Hirokawa's voice gradually became solemn, "Precisely because Parasitic Organisms are humanity's natural enemy, I decided to protect you."
"The human population must decrease. Humanity needs a natural enemy, otherwise, it will be even more brutal civil war."
"As the spirits of all things, humans should not only focus on their own prosperity. Maintaining the ecological balance of Earth is also a responsibility humanity should bear."
"I have always believed that compared to killing people, dumping wastewater into the ocean and burying garbage deep underground are the truly unforgivable sins."
"However, humanity has forgotten this mission of its own."
"The so-called protection of the environment and nature — putting aside the arrogance and pride in such words — are mostly just high-sounding rhetoric. They have even become political weapons used by nations to compete and suppress each other."
"This is simply too ridiculous."
"The Parasitic Organisms appeared, shouldering the heavy responsibility of maintaining the balance of the human population, and they have been diligently completing their task. Compared to them, humans are the true Parasytes on Earth."
