After Lin Ye's reminder, Klaus quickly noticed sothing was wrong.
"...There are this many?"
Klaus swept his ntal energy through the room, his expression growing increasingly grave. Dealing with these parasites wasn't difficult, but these people were all high-ranking gang mbers. If parasites had appeared even within them, those lower down the hierarchy were even less likely to be spared.
"So, I wasn't lying to you, right?"
Lin Ye wanted these people to control the spread rate of the parasites, so he wouldn't have to deal with this troubleso matter himself.
"Wait, you warned earlier to stay away from that woman. She wasn't parasitized too, was she?"
Raymond's face turned ashen, asking in a flustered and exasperated tone.
This was the first ti Lin Ye had seen him lose that composed expression.
"It's fine. Those parasites can't parasitize high-level spiritual energy users... at least not yet, they shouldn't be able to. And only more intimate contact leads to parasitism. As long as you don't ss around recklessly, you'll be fine."
Lin Ye revealed a gloating expression.
"Damn it... I t her the night before last."
Raymond forced out these words, then turned and left the room. He no longer had ti to watch the spectacle here. The Adventurer's Association also had many mid and low-tier adventurers who liked to ss around recklessly.
"Thank you very much for the information. I will honor our agreent. Your people can sell cards in the bar, though the bar might have to close for a few days."
Klaus had a headache. With so many custors, he couldn't possibly scan every single one with his senses. Moreover, this involved privacy issues;
sensing another person's body was a very impolite act.
The gang mbers in the room all warily observed their companions around them. They had all heard the previous conversation. Those who could make it here weren't fools.
This was practically a supercharged version of an STD.
"If you need it, we can sell a type of parasite detection card. Also one hundred Free Coins per card."
Lin Ye had considered this business opportunity the mont he discovered the large number of parasites.
Creating detection cards targeting a specific parasite wasn't difficult. He could use Parasitism runes, and he had previously obtained that old man's research notes on parasitic organisms. This fell within his area of expertise.

"That's great. I'll pre-order ten thousand... You didn't create these parasites, did you?"
Klaus looked at Lin Ye with suspicion.
"A reasonable suspicion. But if I really had created them, I wouldn't imdiately launch detection cards, nor would I sell them this cheaply. Besides, I just arrived in Free City not long ago. These parasites have been here much longer than I have. However, if Bio-Tech soon releases a dicine to eliminate the parasites, then you all need to be careful."
Lin Ye faintly sensed soone was secretly pushing forward this parasite parasitism incident. These parasites likely originated from the Bottomless Pit. If this was normal transmission, he could hardly imagine what the first parasitized person had actually done.
"Alright. I hope you can send soone to deliver the detection cards as soon as possible."
Klaus thought it over carefully and realized that if Lin Ye had been spreading the parasites, the other party indeed had no reason to warn him.
Lin Ye left the bar, drove the sports car back to the warehouse. He needed to create so templates for the parasite detection cards.
On the way, he received ssages from Raymond and Ms. Carnot. They also wanted to pre-order a batch of parasite detection cards.
"These people react really fast."
Lin Ye didn't plan to raise the price. If these parasites were really connected to Bio-Tech, it was better to clean them up as quickly as possible.
Arriving at the warehouse, Lin Ye quickly produced a large number of parasite detection cards and reminded those young n not to go out and ss around recklessly.
After handling these miscellaneous matters, Lin Ye drove back to the Free Hotel. Before sleeping, he planned to read for a little while.
"...These people react really fast."
Lin Ye quickly changed into his outer clothes, walked to the window, and opened it. A group of deford parasites were crawling along the exterior wall towards Lin Ye's room.
"Hah, why send these parasites here to die? There aren't many forces in Free City with such fast reaction speeds. How is this any different from admitting it?"
Lin Ye used a Compressed Spiritual Energy Blade to simultaneously pierce the vital points of all the parasites. However, after the parasites died, those deford parasites turned into normal corpses.
The corpses fell like rain, yet this was aningless. Lin Ye simply reached out and clenched his fist. The falling flesh and blood gathered together, finally rging into a mixed sphere of flesh and blood.
'Huh? That's not right...'
Lin Ye, having noticed the abnormality, was just about to fling the mixed flesh and blood sphere away when it collapsed, turning into a blood-red mist. The mist quickly drifted towards Lin Ye, easily penetrating the spiritual energy shield Lin Ye had activated.
Lin Ye threw out a piece of spiritual energy material while simultaneously activating the Parasitism rune engraved on it. The blood-red mist rapidly vanished, all parasitizing that piece of spiritual energy material.
'Just as I thought.'
Lin Ye put away the tal Sphere. If the Parasitism rune hadn't worked, he was prepared to use the tal Sphere to emit a spiritual energy shockwave to destroy that mist.
'This spiritual energy material can be used to create parasitic-type spiritual energy items. The effect should be quite good.'
Putting away the spiritual energy material, Lin Ye already had so ideas for crafting.
Outside the window, all was calm, as if nothing had happened.
But so monitoring devices had recorded the entire process of the previous battle. Furthermore, a pair of eyes in the distance had also been observing Lin Ye.
"Experintal Subject 1437 test concluded. Assault failed. Awaiting instructions."
A woman wearing a hood spoke softly into a specially-made Communication Device.
"Continue monitoring the target. Cease assault plans."
An old man's voice ca from the Communication Device.
"An informant provided intelligence. The target may have mastered a thod for creating items that can identify parasites. This will severely impact the advancent of the Parasite Plan."
The woman spoke up.
"It doesn't matter. The main purpose of the Parasite Plan is to collect experintal data. The target has already completed most of it now. Continue advancing the Parasite Plan to divert the attention of other forces... Why is there soone next to you?"
The old man imdiately cut off the communication.
"Ah, I wanted to listen a bit longer. Is it the effect of so mutation organ inside you? Connected to the data over there? It seems I'll have to be even more careful in the future."
Lin Ye stood behind the woman, looking with her towards the direction of his own room.
"You..."
The woman wanted to resist but found her body could no longer move.
"Losing control doesn't feel good, does it? This is the parasite you researched. It's called Experintal Subject 1437? You understand its effects better than I do. Soon, it will devour your body, take everything you have, then use the remaining mories to find your family and turn them into parasites too. And you can only silently experience this painful process."
Lin Ye described this with a smile.
"What do you want? Information? Money? Research materials? I can give you all of it, just let go!"
The woman let out a cry of unwilling despair. She enjoyed researching parasites and felt very resentful when she heard the Parasite Plan was being abandoned. But she never imagined she would be parasitized herself, nor did she expect the feeling of being parasitized to be so terrifying.
"I don't want those things. I only want you to receive the ending you deserve. Making mistakes ans accepting punishnt. That's the most basic principle. It's a pity many people don't even understand that."
Lin Ye whispered softly into the woman's ear.
