Isnt it 7?

Or is 7

Spoilers ahead

The CIA Experiment?

Always kinda thought about it that way, since its 7 and 8 when they were going all in on body horror via the hands, and I distinctally remember a very heavy focus on maggots and other parasites

Spoilers for RE 4, 7, and 8.

Tap for spoiler

Resident Evil 4 is the brain worm thingy parasite while 7 and 8 is parasitic mold.
