Lin Yi, who remained where he was, seemed to understand something: "Yes, I'm helping them too."

"Your Excellency Mayor, this is an emergency call from the new district."
"Hang up."
"Your Excellency Mayor, this is a video uploaded from the new district."
"Delete."
"Your Excellency Mayor, from the new district..."
"Your Excellency Mayor..."
"Your Excellency Mayor..."
Hirokawa Tsuyoshi endured it, knowing it was just a necessary process.
As the only human who knew about the Parasites and understood and supported them, Hirokawa Takeshi successfully ran for mayor with the help of the Parasites organization and joined their organization to provide them with assistance, just like he had previously suppressed many murder and missing person cases. However, this time the commotion was too great. Even though he had detained the head of the Metropolitan Police Department, it was to no avail. More and more information was being spread from that area to the outside world. If the signal in that area could be blocked, it would be easy. The problem was that a mere mayor could not do that.
The parasites shouldn't have made such a attention-grabbing move at this time, but Hirokawa Tsuyoshi no longer had a chance to question them. He could only endure it, waiting for the parasites to resolve the situation, or perhaps...
"Your Excellency Mayor, it's a phone call from the Prime Minister..."
"..."
"Your Excellency Mayor?"
Raising his head to face the suspicious gazes around him, Hirokawa Takeshi let out a long breath.
"...Connect me."
He lost.
"Clearly, it is still accustomed to the way of nature rather than the way of humans."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow as he watched the countdown tick down.
In the end, the collective attack of the parasites failed to cause any effective damage to Lin Yi—there wasn't even any direct contact.
The panicked crowds that rushed outwards disrupted the parasites' steps and formations. They tried to stop the crowds by killing them, but unexpectedly found that this previously effective tactic had lost its effectiveness.
As the existence of the "murderous monster" was confirmed, people became increasingly panicked and began to flee purely out of instinct. Later, the army that rushed to the scene forcibly suppressed any further chaos and killing. The parasites, who were not yet capable of confronting the army head-on, had no choice but to hastily abandon their encirclement and annihilation of Lin Yi and instead disperse and retreat.
However, unlike before, their existence could no longer be concealed: beneath the confirmed eyewitness accounts and the remains of two shot corpses.
In this respect, the ghouls faced the same situation. The ghoul who initially attacked the parasite still had a roughly intact corpse. Lin Yi watched as those people wearing chemical protective suits took it away, presumably to research something.
"It doesn't really matter."
As the malice surrounding him gradually dissipated, Lin Yi knew he had succeeded: he had invaded this world.
Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 92 CCG
Arima Kishou felt powerless.
He could clearly sense that the city—Tokyo—was gradually changing under the influence of some unknown force: the people who were killed, the people who went missing, the cannibals, and the monsters that had been confirmed.
They continued to multiply and spread in the darkness, but as someone who considered himself a protector, he was completely powerless to stop them. He could only watch helplessly as they appeared and disappeared, making a mess of this human city and then having to clean it up... So, he made a decision.
"Resign?"
"Yes, I believe that my own inadequacy is the reason for the current situation in Tokyo!"
His gaze shifted from the resignation letter to the resolute-looking man before him. The mayor, who had just been transferred to Tokyo, shook his head: "This is not your fault, Mr. Takamasa. We have a general understanding of what happened in Tokyo. Under those circumstances, no one else could have done better. This chaotic city needs your strength now."
But I—
"Don't rush... Have you heard of the CCG?"
Arima Kishou's expression froze for a moment: "You mean the plan that the cabinet recently proposed?"
"Yes, it's not just Tokyo. Two days ago, it was confirmed that ghouls have also appeared in Shinjuku."
"Those man-eating monsters..."
"We don't know how ghouls and parasites came into being or how they spread, but we must find a way to contain them. To this end, the Cabinet has proposed the CCG's plan..."
Handing the documents to Arima Kishou, the mayor's expression was serious: "Now, the Prime Minister officially appoints you as the first Minister of the CCG. Are you willing to fight to the death against those man-eating monsters to protect the people?!"
Taking a deep breath, Arima Kishou saluted forcefully: "Yes, sir!"

The world is constantly evolving.
Watching the news on TV, Quan Xin subconsciously clenched his fist.
[...CCG headquarters will be established in Tokyo... headed by former Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Chief Kishou Arima... to deal with parasites and ghouls... their existence has been confirmed...]
From Parasyte to Ghoul, and from Ghoul to CCG, Tokyo has undergone so many changes in just a few months.
"Shinichi."
"I see."
After quickly finishing the food in his bowl, Shinichi Izumi once again thanked his right hand—according to information released by the CCG, those parasites and ghouls all feed on humans, while he was still able to maintain his original eating habits, which was extremely lucky. He simply couldn't imagine himself eating people.
After finishing his dinner, Izumi Shinichi, who was familiar with the hotel, walked along the path to a secluded corner. He sniffed the increasingly strong smell and finally saw the person who had come to him—Qi Qi Liu Ba 5 Si Liu (8) Qi Qi—just as the person who came to him had seen him.
"Hahaha, run! Why aren't you running? Do you think you can outrun my palm? You disgusting parasite."
When Shinichi first encountered a ghoul, he was very reluctant to accept the term, so he objected. Similarly, the second, third, and fourth times... But at some point, Shinichi gave up on this action and simply uttered a single word: "Filthy cannibals."
The ghoul opposite, swishing its tail, turned cold. The next moment, the two figures overlapped.
The world is constantly evolving, and people have to change along with it. At least, Shinichi Izumi now has another target he has to kill besides the parasites: ghouls.

"Kokaku, Rinkaku, Ookaku, and this..."
Reaching out, Lin Yi gently grasped the "wing" that was still struggling to escape.
"Zla—"
"Yuhe".
The bony armor quickly absorbed the blood splattered on its surface as a reserve of energy, storing it inside. After crushing the ghoul's head below with a single kick, Lin Yi carefully examined the "wings" made of mutated cells.
Compared to the wings of ordinary creatures, its mass is significantly lighter, and consequently, it cannot support the human body for long-distance flight like real wings, but can only be used for short-distance gliding, except that this only applies to energy ghouls...
"God, has the database data collection for the ghoul virus been completed?"
[Quantity collection progress 100%]
Turning around to look at Tokyo under the night sky, just like the nights of the past few months: the day belongs to humans, and the night belongs to monsters.
Driven by hatred mixed with hunger, the parasites and ghouls relentlessly searched for each other and engaged in fierce battles. This was made even more efficient after Lin Yi specially modified some of the ghouls' olfactory genes to detect the scent of the parasites. The humans, who had finally awakened, still held a superficial advantage. Neither the ghouls nor the parasites could withstand their sheer numbers and powerful firearms. They could only use their stealth to slowly erode the stronger ones.
However, just like their immense size, humans are too slow in their actions and reactions, and can only passively defend themselves against keen predators. Perhaps the emergence of the CCG will change this situation, but it will not be accomplished in a short time. During this period of tripartite balance, it is the best time for the main gods to plunder this world.
"God, initiate the screening of candidates and reincarnators in the Ghoul World, and introduce reincarnators from the Kabane World into this world at a ratio of one to ten."
【Command confirmation】
"Open the exchange permissions for the No. 1 to No. 40 Dream.1 Ball Yin (7) ④5 to the No. 40 virus to all reincarnators. Except for the No. 1 virus, the other three viruses can be replaced by Kabane bloodline, giant bloodline and vampire bloodline. Monitor and record their mutation reaction after they exchange and use them."
【Command confirmation】
"...the final step."
He muttered to himself, issuing a command to the entity in his mind: "World transfer, World Six."
【Command confirmation】
Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 93 Countdown
Sixth World, USA, New York, Manhattan.
Virus Experimentation Center.
"Boss, this must be the work of God—no, the devil."
Looking at the densely packed gene maps on the screen with a mixture of excitement and hesitation, Lin Yi caught a familiar emotion in the researcher's eyes.
"Are you afraid?"
"Boss, perhaps you, as someone who isn't a geneticist, don't fully understand what these four models represent... Believe me, their function is far more than just being used as a health supplement. It's like Pandora's box; once it's opened, no one can bear the consequences."
Lin Yi just smiled and didn't say anything. He had already opened the same box four times, why would he hesitate to do it a fifth time?
Despite this, he still reassured the researcher in front of him that they still needed him, at least for now.
"Don't worry, Smith. I've considered this issue as well as that newcomer. All we need to do is combine them to create an unprecedented health product, not use it for anything else... Imagine, a health product that can extend human lifespan, strengthen the human body, and even increase brain cell activity three times over—how much of a change would that bring to the world? Forget about the Nobel Prize; your name alone could probably become a new award. And all of this, belonging to the world and the future, will be witnessed in our hands."
Imagining that scene, Smith's face turned red and his breathing became rapid. After a long while, he said, "I understand, Boss. I will make it happen—a potion that will revolutionize the world!"
Watching Smith leave, Lin Yi turned to look at the gene map, his expression returning to its original indifference.
"Lord God, how's the progress?"
[86.1%, estimated time 391 hours 44 minutes 18 seconds]
"...I need to maintain control over everyone in the lab to make sure there are no unexpected incidents during this experiment."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Any!"
[...Instruction confirmed]
----------segmentation----------
In World Two, after seeing the first individual who evolved from a T-virus infected, Lin Yi had a question: Is there a limit to the evolution of viruses?
Later, after learning from the Supreme God that the T-virus's infection and evolution principle was simply through mutations and atavism of existing human genes, the question became—where are the limits of humanity?
Whether it's the prototype virus of World II, the Kabane virus of World III, the Giant virus of World V, or the Vampire virus of World VII, they are all just T-viruses that have deeply modified and mutated a certain aspect of human genes. If that's the case, why can't we create a virus that mutates all existing human genes instead of just a fragment?
Therefore, at that time, Lin Yi consciously chose World Six, a world without much external interference, as the experimental site for his idea. After continuously inputting new samples and resources at any cost, it is now time for it to show its results.
The result may be disappointing, after all, even the original designers of the T-virus did not know that there would be so many derivative samples of the T-virus, so it is reasonable to fail; but it also has the possibility of success. If that "possibility" is really achieved, then Lin Yi believes that at that moment he will have reached the greatest forbidden zone belonging to genes, to humanity, and to all life.
Countdown: 211 hours, 16 minutes, and 31 seconds.
laboratory.
"Alex, bring over sample number three."
"Ok."
The busy researchers paid no attention to the newcomer, not even Alex, who had just arrived after hearing Smith's instructions to bring sample number three. As usual, he carefully placed the sample on Smith's experimental table, which was piled with various data and records, and was about to leave when he suddenly felt that he had something in his hand.
Alex was stunned for a moment and was about to ask a question when he saw Smith impatiently waving him away. He could only suppress his doubts and leave.
After that, Alex was busy assisting with the experiment. The generous treatment and the possibility of going down in history drove the entire laboratory into a frenzy. In this atmosphere, Alex completely forgot about Smith. It wasn't until he finished his day's work and returned to his dormitory that he touched his pocket when he wanted to change his clothes.
Subconsciously glancing at the direction of the camera in the room, Alex hesitated for a moment before pretending to select items from the wardrobe, his peripheral vision quickly scanning the words on the note.
It's nothing too complicated, just an email address.
After taking five seconds to memorize it, Alex swallowed the note.
Countdown: 108 hours, 55 minutes, and 48 seconds.
"purchase?"
Surprised, Alex looked up at Smith, who appeared somewhat agitated from staying up late for so long.
The latter complained impatiently, “Sample number three, sample number seven, sample number nineteen… not even enough test tubes! I can’t believe the people in the purchasing department still have the nerve to sit in their offices! This is the third time already. This time I won’t trust them anymore. You get out now—remember! Immediately, right now, remember the lists I showed you, and bring them back with you. Don’t waste a single second, understand?”
"Yes."
Filled with doubt, Alex obediently went through layers of security checks and left the laboratory. After purchasing most of the necessary items according to the list, he suddenly remembered what Smith had said before he left.
"I remember...you showed it to me...oh!"
He quickly ran to the nearest store with internet access and opened the email address he had memorized earlier.
Countdown: 52 hours, 17 minutes, and 02 seconds.
Monitoring center.
Opening his eyes, Lin Yi frowned as he looked at the people on the screen who were still conducting experiments in a frenzied atmosphere.
