An Ordinary Person in a Parasitic World

[Next up: Protect Our Psychiatric Hospital [Creepy Food Livestream]] [Blurb] Wushan has a secret: she is a bionic human, and her core directive is to be human. She lives by the book, following the standard routine of studying, taking exams, and working. Wushan has another secret: she has discovered that some humans are hosts to monsters called Insects. They often appear around her and commit all manner of evil. Wushan has yet another secret: eating Insects charges her up, and it is a fast charge. So whenever she runs into one, she first brutally smashes its head, then pulls out the parasite and secretly eats it. Her battery is full again. Tee-hee~ - A natural disaster strikes, and Insects invade. Using human emotions as a medium, they take root in human bodies. Humans cannot live without emotions, so the Insects are unstoppable. They soon take control of the human leadership and usher in an era of rule that lasts a hundred years. Until... a monster appears among humanity, one that they cannot possess, no matter what! She even creates a pure zone all by herself, and casually tears open a breach in the Insects' rule! The Insects feel thoroughly provoked. To win Wushan over, they stop at nothing. They get their wish, and witness Wushan feeling delighted, overjoyed, and ecstatic... But their possession attempt fails. Furious, they reveal their true forms, only for Wushan to smash them to pieces with one punch the moment they appear. The Insects go mad: You're not truly happy! That smile is just a disguise you're wearing! Wushan, whose emotional simulation function is extremely powerful, looks bewildered. Huh? - After a century of battling the Insects, with the nation on the brink of collapse, the leaders of Huaguo hear a report from a subordinate: A pure zone with not a single Insect has appeared! The leaders can't believe it: An ordinary college entrance exam student single-handedly killed every Insect? Keep her here! As long as she stays in the pure zone, we'll agree to any terms and give her twice as much! The subordinate: Uh... she only wants to be an ordinary person. How are we supposed to give her twice as much? The leaders: ? #She's clearly humanity's savior, so why does she want to be ordinary?# [Reading Guide] 1.
