Just as Izumi Shinichi and Murano Rimi were about to approach Tamura Reiko, a seemingly ordinary researcher parasite suddenly stood in their way.
The parasite appeared almost indistinguishable from a human, but the sharpness and calculation in its eyes revealed its extraordinary intelligence.
"Welcome to my laboratory, Izumi Shinichi and Murano Rimi," said parasite with a cold, logical tone, calmly observing the two as if analyzing their next move. "I am the first experiment created by Tamura Reiko, you can call me 'Prototype'."
Shinichi loosened his grip on the energy sword and adopted a cautious stance. He knew that facing such an opponent, sheer strength might not be enough to win. "Why are you trying to stop us? Don't you think Tamura's experiments have gone too far?"
Prototype smiled lightly and walked around them at a leisurely pace. "Evolution is endless, Izumi Shinichi. Humans always fear what they create. But only through acceptance and transcendence can a race progress. You see me as a threat, but I am merely the harbinger of the next stage of evolution."
Rimi impatiently interjected, "Your so-called 'evolution' has cost countless innocent lives. Isn't that too high a price?" She tightened her grip on the bow, ready to release an arrow at any moment.
Prototype stopped and turned towards Rimi, with a glint of mechanical light in his eyes. "Perhaps that's how it seems to you. However, nature also moves forward through ruthless choices and constant sacrifices. Tamura Reiko is just accelerating this process."
Before the words had even finished, Prototype swiftly drew a pair of energy daggers from his waist and launched an attack on Shinichi and Rimi. Shinichi quickly parried with his sword, creating a jarring metallic clash as it collided with Prototype's daggers.
The battle was intense and complex. Prototype not only demonstrated astonishing speed and strength in hand-to-hand combat, but also used various mechanical devices in the laboratory to attack Shinichi and Rimi. Every step he took was calculated, and every attack attempted to force them to make mistakes.
However, Shinichi and Rimi were not unprepared. Their understanding and their individual combat skills allowed them to effectively resist the onslaught of the genius. Rimi's arrows precisely hit the Control Panel in the laboratory, temporarily shutting down the mechanical arm controlled by Prototype.
The battle reached its climax, and Prototype seemed to feel the pressure as his movements began to falter. Seizing the opportunity, Shinichi plunged his sword into Prototype's core, and the explosion of energy waves instantly destroyed it.
With Prototype falling, the alarms in the laboratory suddenly ceased, and everything returned to silence. Shinichi and Rimi exchanged a glance, knowing that this was only a temporary calm. Tamura Reiko was still somewhere out there, and they had to act quickly to find her and put an end to all of this.
The two quickly organized their equipment and continued deeper into the more secretive parts of the laboratory. Every step was filled with unknowns and dangers, but they were prepared to face everything.
Just as the Special Forces passed through the final security door and entered a massive underground laboratory, it was believed to be the main experimental area for Tamura Reiko. The laboratory was filled with various scientific equipment and workbenches, and in the center, a huge transparent container held a dormant giant parasite, appearing to be Tamura's latest experimental achievement.
Izumi Shinichi and Murano Rimi led the way to the container, cautiously observing their surroundings, preparing to face a possible ambush by Tamura Reiko. However, the laboratory was unusually quiet, with only the low hum of the operating equipment.
Rimi connected to the laboratory's Central Control System through a handheld device, attempting to find more information about the giant parasite. Her brows furrowed as she slowly pieced together Tamura's research objectives from the rapidly flowing data on the screen.
"Shinichi, look at this," Rimi said in a low voice, pointing to a series of experiment logs displayed on the screen, "This parasite was not only designed to enhance its survival capabilities, but also endowed with high intelligence. It may be the beginning of Tamura's attempt to create a new species."
Suddenly, the lights in the laboratory became sharp and flickering, and a sharp alarm sounded throughout the room. From hidden doors all around, equipped with high-tech weapons, the Parasite Warriors appeared one after another, their eyes flashing with cold, indifferent red light as they quickly surrounded the Special Forces.
Shinichi immediately drew his energy sword, its light shining brightly. "It seems we've been trapped, but we can't give up now. Prepare for battle!" he commanded loudly, leading his team into a defensive stance.
A battle erupted, with Shinichi and Rimi leading their respective teams to confront the Parasite Warrior. Shinichi's sword light surged like a waterfall, skillfully utilizing the energy wave generated with each swing to effectively weaken the enemy's defense.
Rimi's arrows carried sharp explosive sounds, drawing deadly trajectories within the parasite group, with each arrow precisely hitting vital points and triggering chain explosion effects.
The battle lasted for several minutes, during which the Special Forces demonstrated outstanding teamwork and combat skills.
In the end, when the last Parasite Warrior fell, only the victorious members of the Special Forces remained on the battlefield. They were panting, but their faces showed a satisfied expression of having overcome a major threat. Shinichi and Rimi quickly went to the control panel to confirm Tamura Reiko's location.
Through an observation window, they finally saw Tamura Reiko, the scientist who had been manipulating events from behind the scenes. She was sitting in front of a complex device filled with pipelines and display screens, focused on adjusting parameters, seemingly unaware of the impending danger.
Just as they were preparing to take further action, a "Sage" parasite appeared before them. This parasite possessed extremely high intelligence and psychological manipulation abilities, and began engaging in complex psychological games and negotiations with the Special Forces, setting up multiple psychological and physical traps in an attempt to stop them from advancing.
The voice of the wise man resonated through the laboratory's broadcast system, calm and powerful: "Do you still think you can simply stop us? Our existence is far more complex than you imagine." His words were full of challenge and threat, attempting to shake the determination of the Special Forces.
Shinichi tightly gripped his energy sword and calmly responded, "No matter how many obstacles you set up, we will not stop moving forward. We have a responsibility to protect humanity from your threats."
