Chapter 28 - It's finally over

The female parasite walked up to Xia Shang's body and said calmly, "For someone like you whose parasitic part is unclear, it's most effective to penetrate and destroy the heart."

I have to say, life is always full of drama.

The scene that was shown some time ago is now repeated, except that the protagonist this time has become Xia Shang. Shinichi, who just arrived and saw this scene, is shrouded in endless grief for a moment.

He covered his chest tightly. He wanted to cry, but he forgot the feeling of crying.

"Xia Jun!" Quan Xinyi gritted his teeth, regretting why he came a step late.

His appearance surprised the female parasite. Looking at the intact Izumi Shinichi, she asked in confusion, "Why? I clearly killed you. Didn't I kill you then? Or is it that the location of your heart is different from that of ordinary people?"

"No, it can't be such a coincidence. If I had known, I should have chopped off your head as well."

Suddenly, the female parasitic beast seemed to realize something and subconsciously looked at Xia Shang's body.

But it's too late.

A sharp blade pierced through the female parasite's heart without warning. The sudden reversal prevented everyone present from reacting.

The female parasite looked down at the sharp blade that pierced her heart. For the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared in her emotionless eyes. Before she could continue speaking, another sharp blade slashed across her neck. With a "whoosh" sound, an intact head flew off.

"What?" Shinichi hurriedly looked at Xia Shang's body.

Then, in front of everyone's shocked gazes, Xia Shang calmly climbed up.

"Really, she almost died. By the way, Shinichi, your appearance was so unexpected. Fortunately, I was lucky and she didn't react after all." Xia Shang complained as he chopped off the female parasite's head to ensure that it could not be resurrected again.

"You...you, you were pierced through the heart, weren't you?"

Normally, an ordinary parasitic beast would surely die if its heart was destroyed. Even Izumi Shinichi, who possessed Mickey, took a day and a night to repair his heart after it was pierced. The intact Xia Shang in front of him seemed to shatter Shinichi's perception of parasitic beasts.

"You should have moved the location of your heart. During the battle, you were already prepared for your heart to be pierced, so when facing the attack of the female parasite, you pretended that you couldn't dodge." Xiao Pa, who was parasitic on Ueda Mamoru's chin, was many times smarter than Ueda Mamoru.

When Ueda Mamoru still had a dazed expression, it told him the truth.

Clap, clap, clap! Xia Shang couldn't help but applaud it. "You're really smart. Fortunately, you didn't swallow Mr. Yutian's brain, otherwise it would be a waste of your original intelligence."

"Yes, I did move the heart's location in advance. After all, its attack intention is too obvious. If it can destroy the heart, it will never attack other parts. Cough cough cough." Suddenly, Xia Shang coughed a few times and his face turned pale in an instant.

Seeing this, Quan Xinyi, who was standing by, hurriedly asked what was going on.

"It's not a big problem. It's just that too many nutrients in the blood were consumed while repairing the wound. Just rest for a while." Xia Shang looked at the withered and curled up corpse of the parasitic beast on the ground, and a victorious smile appeared on his face.

"You are really taking a risk. What if the enemy doesn't attack your heart but chooses to cut off your head? Then you will really become a corpse."

Quan Shinichi shook his head, disagreeing with Xia Shang's risky behavior.

"No, no, no. When you are 90% sure about something, it can't be considered a risk. Besides, I value my life very much. Once the opponent changes the direction of attack, I will either dodge or sacrifice other parts of my body, such as arms." Xia Shang said with a smile.

"It's a perfect plan."

Xiao Pa couldn't help but praise.

"No matter what, it's finally over." Izumi Shinichi felt like a huge stone was lifted from his heart. He looked at the boundless blue ocean, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

Finally, at Xia Shang's suggestion.

The four of them held a luxurious seafood feast on the beach, and Makiko was invited by Shinichi.

"Sure enough, only fresh ingredients can bring out the original taste of delicious food." Xia Shang broke open the claws of a crab and put the snow-white crab meat into his mouth.

"Thanks to Xia Jun, I can also enjoy such a delicious meal."

Ueda Mamoru ate the delicious food with big mouthfuls and said with emotion.

"This will probably cost more than 100,000 yen." Makiko couldn't help but cover her mouth as she looked at the precious ingredients.

"Money is just something outside of your body, don't worry about it."

Xia Shang placed a plate of sliced ​​tuna in front of her.

"Really, there's no need to worry about it. This guy's money looks like he picked it up... No, to be precise, it should be picked up." Izumi Shinichi next to him complained, and then he gave a brief account of what happened.

"I didn't expect that Xia Jun has been on the news media. Can you take a photo with me?"

"no problem."

Xia Shang agreed readily.

"Mr. Ueda, what are your plans next?" asked Izumi Shinichi.

Ueda Mamoru scratched his head. "I quit my job before coming here. I originally wanted to end my life here, but I didn't expect things to become so complicated. Now I plan to bring my child here, and then find an ordinary job here. After all, this is a beautiful place."

"This is indeed a beautiful place, but unfortunately, I have to leave eventually." Izumi Shinichi smiled and looked towards Tokyo.

"Are you going back?"

There was a flash of disappointment in Makiko's eyes. Shinichi saw it but pretended not to see it.

However, Makiko still smiled and said, "Then when you have time, remember to come here for a tour."

"must."

"must."

...

At breakfast the next day, Xia Shang met Shinichi's father and mother. They were both very grateful to Xia Shang and spoke very politely.

This made Xia Shang feel a little uncomfortable.

After leaving the hospital, he and Shinichi walked side by side on the way to the Tokyo ship.

"To be honest, you do look more handsome after taking off your glasses. No wonder Makiko is reluctant to let you leave. In my opinion, you should just marry into their family. Their family owns a hotel." Xia Shang joked with Quan Shinichi.

After going through so much, Izumi Shinichi has become much more mature. He turned his head to look in the direction of the hotel and said softly: "Some things are not beautiful just because you own them. Sometimes, regrets are also a kind of beautiful memory."

"I'm sorry, I just know that women will only slow down my pace of becoming stronger."

Xia Shang shrugged and said without any charm.
