They exchanged a knowing glance, and the wife and husband spoke almost simultaneously.
"She was a naturally inspired person, the perfect 'medium' for that demon to possess."
"As for Officer Awano?"
"If we're not mistaken, he was probably targeted by that resurrected demon while investigating Miss Xuena."
It must be admitted that the couple's answer was flawless.
But for some reason, Daigo always felt a subtle sense of unease when he looked at this couple who seemed to have an unusual tacit understanding.
This is an instinctive intuition, and also a warning from his ancient genes.
The Kuzuha couple did not lie, because lying leaves flaws and makes it easy for others to notice the mistakes.
But the couple also didn't tell the truth, or rather, they didn't tell the whole truth; they only selectively stated certain facts.

Chapter 206 Daigo: I'm going to use cheat codes!
"In any case, we'll have to go to the 'White Fox Forest' ourselves in the end."
After a brief silence, Lina set the final tone for the conversation.
Regardless of what the couple was hiding, all the clues now point to "White Fox Forest".
Whether it's rescuing Xuena and Danye, or stopping the resurgence of the demons, going to the "White Fox Forest" has become the only solution at present.
"No, I think we don't need to go anymore."
As if in response to Daigo's words, the door of the Kuzuha family was suddenly pushed open without warning.
"They've come knocking on our door!"
Everyone present turned their attention to the doorway, and sure enough, they saw a man with a stiff face standing there.
Behind this stiff-faced man, many more people are heading towards this place.
Having spent a few days in the town, Onoda immediately recognized that the people who were gradually arriving were the town's original residents.
"Take good care of yourself!"
Without hesitation, Daigo drew his gun and fired at the other party, killing the leader with a single shot.
But in that brief moment, several more residents poured into the Kuzuha family's house and pounced on them like zombies.
Silence! Silence! Silence!
Lina also drew her Hyper gun and fired, while retreating to cover the other three.
Fortunately, the other three were no pushovers, and they immediately realized what was happening and ran towards the back door.
"Be careful, these people seem to be controlled by some mysterious force!"
Lina, with her better observation skills, noticed the stiff expressions and movements of the residents as she retreated.
"I know, you go with them, I'll stay behind to cover our retreat!"
When the first man who was knocked down got back up.
Daigo immediately abandoned his plan to continue firing and instead engaged in a fight with the villagers present.
After all, without using lethal power, the Hyper gun obviously couldn't stop these residents from advancing.
However, if lethal power is used, the lives of these controlled residents will be in danger.
The GUTS members are subject to an emergency rule that allows them to use lethal force in dangerous situations.
But Daigo had no intention of actually harming the residents who flocked to the area; that was his bottom line.
"Don't get entangled with them!"
He knew all too well how formidable Daigo's close-quarters combat skills were.
Lina didn't dwell on it too much and turned to follow the three of them as they ran out.
"Know!"
A slight smile appeared on Daigo's lips as he finally let loose and stopped holding back.
boom! boom! boom!
Each punch knocked out a resident who lunged at him, and each turn tripped up someone trying to get past him...
Daigo's behavior at this moment perfectly illustrates what it means to be a "humanoid beast".
Fist, elbow, knee, leg, waist, hip, and even the head...
Every part of its body can be attacked, and it can also be quite lethal.
If it weren't for the concern of hurting the residents, Daigo's killing speed would have been even more efficient than that of an average person wielding a gun.
Unfortunately, no matter how Daigo knocked down these residents, they showed no signs of pain or fainting, just like real zombies.
If Daigo hadn't been able to hear their breathing, he might have doubted whether these guys were really zombies.
Even so, Daigo still keenly sensed that something was amiss.
"Tina? Are you there?"
Daigo deliberately lowered his voice and called out, intending to ask Tina, who was always there, for help.
After upgrading to become a sophon, Tina was able to appear in any corner of the earth at any time—the White Fox Forest was no exception.

【Hello, Daigo.】
Is there anything I can do to help you?
As Tomoko's familiar voice rang in his ears, Daigo immediately became excited.
"You were here after all!"
"Find out about these people immediately. What are their weaknesses?"
Taking advantage of a break in his conversation with Tomoko, Daigo quickly knocked down a few more guys with a few punches and kicks.
However, just like before, these residents who were knocked down were not afraid of Daigo's attacks at all and quickly got back up.
[Biodata registration is in progress; individual data analysis and scanning completed...]
[An abnormal 'implant' has been detected. Checking against the database...]
[Preliminary analysis suggests the abnormal 'implant' is a variant larva of the hexapod class...]
[The system is simulating gene tracing and is currently identifying the prototype of the variant...]
Before Tomoko could analyze the specific situation, Daigo immediately interrupted.
"Don't analyze so much!"
"I don't understand any of this, just tell me what to do!"
As expected, there was a moment of silence, and then Tomoko's voice rang out again.
These humans had a type of Gu worm implanted in their bodies.
[If you cannot force these Gu worms out, none of your attacks will stop them from moving.]
If you require this, I can apply to create a temporary 'five senses co-perception visual system' for you to help you pinpoint the exact locations of these Gu worms.
Upon hearing this, Daigo nodded without hesitation.
"Apply for me immediately, the sooner the better!"
Before he could finish speaking, a series of data popped up on Daigo's retina.
A fraction of a second later, the complex data transformed into clear models, each corresponding precisely to one of the intruders present.
The eyes can hear, the ears can see, the tongue can smell...
At this moment, Daigo's normally normal five senses began to appear in a chaotic state.
In this chaotic state of sensory perception, Daigo could clearly "see" the Gu worms hidden inside the residents' bodies.
It's somewhat similar to an infrared perspective, and also somewhat like thermal imaging, but it seems to incorporate some effects of acoustic radar as well...
In short, Daigo was also unable to clearly articulate what kind of "perspective" he was currently using to observe the world.
The only thing he was certain of was that the Gu worms hidden inside the residents' bodies were completely visible from this perspective.
So, Daigo struck again, each move aimed at the location of the Gu worm.
bump!bump!bump!
Wrist, chest, heart, even brain...
Daigo used his superb skill in channeling his energy to shatter and stun the parasitic worms in the residents' bodies without harming them as much as possible.
This time, the resident whose eyes rolled back fell to the ground and never got up again.

Chapter 207 Kidomaru
In no time at all, all the residents who had broken into the Kuzuha family's residence were defeated by Daigo.
However, Daigo did not breathe a sigh of relief, nor did he turn back to find Rena and the others. Instead, he looked more and more seriously toward the gate.
"Tina, can you confirm his identity?"
Following Daigo's gaze, they saw a man whose skin had peeled off his entire body standing quietly at the door.
The worms that had previously controlled the residents were now wriggling and crawling on the man's peeling skin, creating an eerie and chilling scene.
From a distance, the man looked as if he had been completely turned into a nest of Gu worms.
[By comparing with known genetic databases, its identity was confirmed...]
Takeshi Awano, 27, a police officer, was confirmed missing one day ago...
After hearing the information from Tomoko, Daigo fell silent.
Officer Awano, who recently went missing, has become a worm nest and has turned the other people in the town into parasites of the worms.
This was something Daigo could never have imagined before.
It's likely that while he, Lina, and Onoda were discussing things in the bar, the three of them were already being watched by the other side.
It's even possible that Officer Awano, who was being parasitized, had already set his sights on Onoda long before he even arrived in the town.
[Abnormal brainwave data detected, moderate danger level, lethal force recommended!]
Just as Daigo remained silent, Tomoko seemed to sense something and promptly issued an alarm.
Immediately afterwards, Officer Awano, who was standing at the door, suddenly looked up.
"Are you... the 'demon slayer' of this era?"
The hoarse sound didn't come from the throat, but from the resonance of countless insects wriggling together.
Most importantly, as this voice was heard, Officer Awano's appearance underwent a startling change.
First, the eyes gradually became narrow and elongated, and the pupils turned into beastly eyes.
Then his black hair grew rapidly, turned white, until it reached his shoulders.
In the end, Officer Awano had transformed into a handsome young man.
If he hadn't still been wearing Officer Awano's police uniform, probably no one would have known that he was a different person just seconds before.
"Shouldn't you state your name before asking someone's identity?"
Daigo took a slight step back and felt an unprecedented chill emanating from the handsome young man opposite him.
It was a kind of intimidation that stood at the top of the food chain, and also proof that the beautiful boy was not human.
"Name?"
