Even if you're a corrupted magical girl, you still have to try to redeem yourself.

Yuki Yuki remained silent, which, as if playing right into Yuki Yuki's hands, only made Niijima Azusa even more excited.

"Hehe, hehe, you can't refute it, because you are also a loser. The same blood flows in your veins as ours, and your soul is stained with the same darkness as ours."

What kind of chuunibyou personality is this?

Yuuki cursed inwardly, the other person's frantic movements on her face making it hard for her to suppress her anger.

"Oh dear, you're even angrier now, you're so angry! But unfortunately, you don't dare to hurt us! You can't hurt us, you're afraid, you're worried, you can't think of any way out, you have no way out!"

Niijima Azusa laughed wildly and walked up to Yuuki Yuuki, tilting her head so close to Yuuki Yuuki's face that she almost pressed her face against Yuuki Yuuki's. She grinned and gave Yuuki Yuuki a smile that could fill Yuuki Yuuki's entire field of vision.

"You're cursing, aren't you? You're sighing, aren't you? Hahaha, but what's the use? Nothing at all. Just accept reality. You can't hurt us, you can't defeat us. Before us, you have no power. Oh no, no no no, your power is utterly useless!"

Yuuki Yukino wouldn't believe the other person because of those words, thinking that she was really weak and powerless.

But this guy's words were like the buzzing of flies that kept buzzing around my ears; they had almost no lethality, but they were disgusting.

If the other party hadn't been occupying Niijima Azusa's body, she would have punched them long ago.

As if she could read Yuuki Yuuki's mind, or perhaps more simply, she saw Yuuki Yuuki's furrowed brows and throbbing temples.

"Want to attack us? You really want to, don't you? Too bad, you'll fail. You can't do anything. Give up, give up now! Accept this unchangeable fact! Hurry up—become one of us!"

People can laugh when they are extremely angry.

Yuuki Yukino's lips twitched twice as she watched that guy make those exaggerated expressions on Niijima Azusa's face—a face that was usually either gentle or serious—that she might never see on the real Niijima Azusa's face in her entire life, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although this guy was just one person, he reminded Yuuki Yuki of the phrase "a chaotic scene of demons running rampant."

Yuuki Yukino is prone to daydreaming, but her daydreaming is somewhat different from that of Koumori. Koumori always takes things extremely seriously and then gets caught up in endless internal struggles.

Yuki Eri is simply daydreaming; she has many wild and imaginative ideas, which can sometimes make her seem a bit unserious, but at other times they can also be flashes of inspiration.

This guy kept saying "we, we," no wonder I had the idea of ​​a chaotic mess.

This guy clearly knows who he is, but apart from attacking me at the beginning, he hasn't made any other moves, just trash-talking me.

It's as if they're determined to make themselves angry.

I was very angry, and then what?

Then, because I'm very angry, I'll join them?

That's what she said, right? So what's with that "join us" part? Would I really go along with her?

That's still not right. This guy didn't say "join us," he said "become us."

Niijima Azusa has "become" them.

The other corrupted magical girls they had captured also "became" them.

Before "becoming" them, these ordinary girls had all briefly fallen into negative emotions.

Suddenly, many of the questions that had been nagging at Yuuki Yuuki were answered.

Chapter 165 We, the Inhumans, and the Approaching Darkness

Moonsea Middle School, Rainbow Club activity room.

Today is the second day after the final exams. The school should have been on holiday, but Yuuki Yuen said she had something important to do, so she gathered everyone here.

Not only the members of Tsukimi Middle School, but also Koumori and Hyakki Senyu were called over. Yuuki Yuen even considered whether to inform Kuroba Reise, who was wavering in his stance, about this matter, but the idea only appeared for a moment before Yuuki Yuen rejected it herself.

"Now, let me explain my reasoning."

Yuuki Yukina pushed up her red-rimmed glasses, tapped the blackboard seriously, and addressed the other members sitting in a row below.

Although Yuuki Enishi may have changed into a pure white shirt and close-fitting trousers today to fit the teacher persona, her outfit didn't resemble a teacher's attire, but rather a role-playing role.

Moreover, there was a strange, astringent feeling about it, though Yuuki Yuki herself was completely unaware of it.

Moreover, even the two people from Seiyuu have been summoned, so what Yuuki Yuen is going to say must be extraordinary. The others are also aware of this and will not complain about such trivial matters.

Although more than one person has decided to privately ask Yuuki Yukino to wear this outfit again.

"Although it is called reasoning, you can round it off and consider it an established fact."

Completely unaware of the others' ulterior motives, Yuuki Yuen spoke while starting to write and draw on the blackboard. Soon, a simple mind map was created by Yuuki Yuen.

"First, there's the question of why magical girls fall into darkness. When Mashiro Urokin once subtly hinted at the power of the Three Pillar Gods to me, she used this topic as a pretext to cleverly test whether I knew about it. But this pretext just happens to come in handy now."

As Mashiro Urouge said, the corruption of magical girls is caused by the mixing of some dark emotions and their own desires. Then, this twisted desire received a response from the primordial darkness, and corruption was born.

Back in Nijiha City, Mashiro Urouge emphasized the various sins that can corrupt people, and even mentioned that life itself is a sin, but that's not the focus of today's discussion.

As for those so-called dark emotions, different religions and countries have different interpretations, similar to the seven deadly sins in the Bible, the greed, anger, and ignorance in Buddhism, and the three corpses that often appear in cultivation. In fact, they are all similar things, and it is enough to summarize them as negative energy.

"In other words, if the condition that the master has negative energy is met, then this magical girl will fall into darkness." Yuuki Yui tapped the blackboard: "By the way, my situation is a bit special, so it doesn't count."

Yuuki Yukino still doesn't know where Nyaruko came from; she only knows that the reincarnated Koyomi brought her soul and power back from the future.

But while Baqi is in a similar situation, she herself has said that she wants to gain the power to break the status quo, which can be considered as suitable evidence.

After Yuuki Yuki finished her story, Koumori stood up and briefly shared her own experiences with the others to corroborate what Yuuki Yuki had said.

"That's how I was back then. I was almost in despair under the pursuit of Mashiro Urouge. It was at that moment that I gained new power, and of course... I also fell into darkness."

With Kou Mori's words as an example, Helica immediately thought of what had happened in Yumehara Sumireko's nightmare.

Although she was a little embarrassed, Helica had climbed back from the brink of corruption on her own, so she briefly summarized her experience.

"That's about it. That's what corruption is. I think even if you don't know the specific details, you can get a general idea."

Herlica then looked up at Yuuki Yuuki in front of the blackboard.

"But what's next? You didn't call us here just to say something so simple, did you?"

“Of course not.” Yuuki Yui shook her head: “Some people may know what happened yesterday. Niijima Azusa, she has fallen into darkness.”

Immediately, more than one gasp of cold air echoed from the room.

Niijima Azusa suddenly fell into darkness, and was then subdued by Yuuki Yuuki, all within half a minute.

Yuki Yui actually only did a few things: kick Niijima Azusa out of the window, knocked her unconscious by hitting her on the head, and carried her away.

In the entire examination room, only Yuuki Yui and Niijima Azusa were magical girls. The others noticed that Yuuki Yui was carrying a magical girl and flying away on a magic book, so they could roughly guess what was going on.

In the past few days, Yuuki Yuki has been carrying away this kind of magical ball every few days (one of them, and if anyone else catches it, they have to deliver it to Yuuki Yuki). Everyone is actually used to it by now.

But I've gotten used to it, and that doesn't conflict with not being shocked by the news of Azusa Niijima's corruption. Of course, seeing a shrimp rice bowl escaped from prison online and seeing a notice posted on my door saying that the escaped shrimp rice bowl was nearby make a very different feeling.

Yuuki Yui knows there's a saying, "If it doesn't concern you, don't get involved."

However, the matter was intricately connected to them. Apart from the two members of Seiyuu Academy who didn't know Niijima Azusa and Mizuno Yu, who had been specifically called over by Yuuki Yui to use the classmate tactic, everyone else wore expressions of disbelief.

Sakura Hanako stammered, "Niijima-senpai, is it... the student council president's Niijima-senpai?"

"No, no, no, that's not right. She, she's a good person, how, how could this be?" Lin Jiezi's stuttering became even more severe.

"Yuki Yukino, what did you say? Niijima Azusa? Darkened? You must be joking."

Helica retorted in a low voice, but her expression revealed that she had no confidence in her own argument.

The reactions of the others were not unexpected by Yuuki Enishi.

But no one asked Yuki Yui why she didn't tell them sooner, because it was only the morning of the second day after the incident, which was not late at all.

Yuuki sighed and recounted everything that had happened since she took Niijima Azusa away the day before.

There's not much to elaborate on regarding the preceding interrogation, confinement, and the sudden appearance of Niijima Azusa's second personality (pending).

What happened after Azusa Niijima unleashed her trash talk is actually a matter of a single sentence.

Yuuki Yui stuffed the creature's mouth with her tentacles, then smacked her head several times before finally binding the strange Niijima Azusa tightly and hanging her back from the ceiling, where Yumehara Sumireko reinforced the binding.

Sumireko Yumehara could lock up Yuuki Yukino for several days, let alone Azusa Niijima. If no one had gone to rescue her, Yuuki Yukino felt that few people could have broken free from the intensity of the restraints at that time.

The reason Niijima Azusa was able to break free earlier was simply because Yuki En advised Yumehara Sumireko to conserve her magic power, so the restraints she created weren't very strong.

Just like a small paper box can hold small insects, but it's definitely not suitable for holding hamsters.

Now it's much better. They've replaced it with a steel cage, so it can hold its own against anything, not just hamsters, but even tigers.

Previously, Yuuki Yui dared not use Nyarlathotep and that strange power to contend with Niijima Azusa's soul because she was worried that the clash between a power at the level of the Three Pillar Gods and another power that might be no less powerful than the Three Pillar Gods would destroy this vessel in terms of rules.

However, Yuuki Yukino is not afraid to attack Niijima Azusa's soul.

In Mizuno Yu's dream, he had fought with Mizuno Yu, but a few days later, Mizuno Yu became lively and energetic again, and even Yuki Yuki could probably beat him up a couple of times without any problem.

In case of any problems, just wrap it up with three layers of tentacles.

As it turned out, nothing went wrong, and everything went exceptionally smoothly. Yuuki Yuuki took advantage of the situation and beat up the other corrupted magical girls, and incidentally replaced their cages with steel bars as well.

Although those corrupted magical girls were spewing trash talk in the same tone as Niijima Azusa the whole time, they were no match for Yuuki Yuki, who was basically immune to it, and Oosuki, whose heart was as thick as her proud breasts.

Of course, their combat strength was the same; the two of them quickly dealt with all of these guys.

Yuuki Yui still couldn't remove the corruption from them, but the gains were considerable.

Actually, this is also due to their lack of intelligence, or perhaps their overconfidence.

In short, regardless of the method, they all revealed a great deal of useful information to Yuuki Eri.

"The logic behind all their actions so far has been a bit too simplistic: trash talk, negativity, and attacking ordinary people to create panic. That's all."

These guys made Yuuki Yuuki feel like grunt NPCs in a game, only moving forward according to pre-written logic.

In fact, starting with Azusa Niijima, Yuuki Yuuki was given a strong sense of anthropomorphism.

Aside from the band's lead singer who collects stones, Yuuki Yuuki has never heard of any real person emphasizing that they are human.

The famous mystery author Arthur Conan Doyle once used his protagonist Sherlock Holmes to say: "If you eliminate the impossible, then what remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

These things that call themselves "us" and clamor to "become us," existing within the bodies of corrupted magical girls and occupying their bodies and souls, are not human beings in the broad sense.

"Yuki, are you saying that these are all second personalities created because of corruption?" Mizuno Yu immediately grasped the meaning behind those words.

"They're fairly close, but I'm more inclined to believe they're not human, much less some kind of second personality or anything like that," Yuuki Yui corrected Mizuno Yui's statement, which held a different viewpoint.

"I believe they are non-human beings that are born from human bodies, possess human appearance, human way of thinking, and can speak human language."

"All these inhuman beings do is spread more negative energy to others, whether through physical violence or verbal violence, in order to make more people feel despair."

Yuuki Yukino has already said this much, and combined with the reasons for her corruption that she mentioned at the beginning of the conversation, even the slowest person can vaguely sense the connection between the two.

Baqi tilted her head at a very cute angle: "Xiaoyuan, are you saying that these are the things that make people fall into depravity?"

“That’s right.” Yuuki Yui tapped the blackboard with her finger: “That’s the answer.”
