mygo, but Cthulhu

"Master Chu, don't be sad. Your parents will surely be able to resolve the problem soon and make some time for you... Come, have some beef jerky."

Pareo was the first to notice her frustration and quickly ran over to offer her some beef jerky. Chu took a big bite and nodded firmly while chewing.

"Yeah, yeah, Mom and Dad always make time... I've made up my mind! Even if there are no customers, we're going to perform at the livehouse tomorrow. This is music just for Dad and Mom, and I'm going to bet all my pocket money on it to get a reservation!"

"Great! Pareo fully supports it!"

Pareo nodded without hesitation, and the others smiled and were about to say something, but Sato Masuki, who was frowning and staring at the door, sighed, left a word, and quickly rushed out.

"Sorry, Chu?, everyone, I suddenly remembered something urgent. I'll be back soon."

“Eh?! Wait! Masking! Where are you going?!

Chu? She asked subconsciously, but Sato Masuki had already rushed out. She sighed with a headache and turned around to see that Masuki didn't even take his cell phone.

"Oh my god, that idiot Masking! Everyone, get out of here with me right now! Let's go find her!"

Chapter 192 Strange Suicide

"Thousand Saints, Thousand Saints?"

"...What's wrong, Xiao Cai?"

The shouting beside her ear brought Bai Lu Qian Sheng back to her senses. She was stunned for a moment and saw Maruyama Cai looking at her worriedly. She subconsciously forced out her usual smile.

"Are you okay? You seem a little listless. Are you too tired from work lately?"

"Really? I don't feel that way myself... It's okay, don't worry about me, Xiao Cai, I'll go to bed early tonight."

"Well, Qiansheng, you must make sure to rest. If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself and be sure to tell us."

Maruyama Cai smiled, and the gentleness that emanated from her made Bai Lu Qiansheng startled for a moment. She pursed her lips, feeling an indescribable complex emotion in her heart.

"Thank you for your concern, Xiao Cai... I will take care of my health."

"Okay, the break is over, please start again."

At this time, a staff member came over, and Maruyama Aya nodded quickly, then stretched out her hand to Qiansheng seriously. The latter felt helpless about her subtle concern, but still held her hand and walked towards the camera with her.

"Okay, now it's time to express our gratitude to the enthusiastic fans. Please be serious and show your special cuteness."

The staff turned on the camera while talking, and Maruyama Aya followed his instructions and walked to the front, smiling and posing energetically.

"Hello everyone, thank you so much for loving Paspale. I'm Aya Maruyama, and I feel your love, and I'm also very..."

"Sorry, wait a moment,"

At this moment, the staff suddenly interrupted Maruyama Aya's voice. She was stunned for a moment and stopped nervously, looking at him anxiously.

"I'm sorry...did I make a mistake somewhere?"

"I didn't make any mistakes... But, Miss Maruyama, you've been using this rhetoric for a long time. You've said it so many times, like, 'I'm so happy.' Could you come up with something more original?"

"Um, I'm sorry, I wasn't thoughtful enough. I'll try my best."

Maruyama Aya pursed her lips and nodded quickly, while the staff shrugged.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I want to interfere, but the agency's profits haven't been very good due to the recent series of events, and everyone is worried. If you could give them some courage, Miss Maruyama, that would be great."

"Well, I did hear those terrible things... I'll try my best!"

Maruyama Aya nodded firmly, took a deep breath, and stood in front of the camera again, staring at the lens with a determined face.

"Hello everyone, I'm Aya Maruyama. Tokyo hasn't been very peaceful lately, and I've heard about some of the terrible situations, but I believe we can..."

"Wait a minute, Ms. Maruyama, this is ultimately a thank-you video for the fans, not a mobilization meeting. Don't get off topic."

"Um, I'm really sorry, I'll adjust."

The staff interrupted again, and Maruyama Aya lowered her head nervously again. She tried hard to think of appropriate content, but the more anxious she became, the worse her condition became, and the staff's tone became more and more impolite.

"No, wrong again... Never mind, Miss Maruyama, you should just rest over there for a while. If that doesn't work, we can wait a few days."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I will try my best to correct it. Please give me another chance."

Maruyama Aya was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She had no idea why a simple thank-you video would be so difficult. However, Bailu Qiansheng saw the staff member secretly curling his lips.

"I'd love to give you another chance... But Miss Maruyama, as I said before, the firm has been facing some difficulties recently. If possible, could you please help us out?"

"As long as it's within my ability..."

"It's definitely within your capabilities. It's just a small matter. The president is currently discussing the acquisition with a guest from the Toyokawa family. He's very interested in you, so as long as you can go to the banquet and meet him..."

"Wait, what do you mean?"

Before Maruyama Aya could answer, Shirasagi Chisei couldn't help but frown and walked forward quickly. The staff member's expression became a little embarrassed by her interruption, and they coughed lightly to cover it up.

"It's just a simple invitation. Miss Bai Lu, don't think too much about it. All those attending the banquet are decent gentlemen."

"Anyone who invites an idol to a banquet can't be a gentleman."

Bai Lu Qiansheng couldn't help but sneer, staring closely at his evasive gaze.

"What does that Toyokawa family want Xiao Cai to do? Just to meet him? Or does he have another purpose?"

"Oh, Miss Shiraha, you really overthink it. That customer is just a fan of Miss Maruyama. He went to her and wanted to have a few drinks with her."

"Ah,"

Bai Lu Qiansheng was too lazy to point out the loopholes in his words. If he was really a fan, how could he let Xiao Cai attend the banquet? Anyone could see the purpose behind this.

At first, he asked Xiao Cai to lip-sync, but then he was irresponsible when something unexpected happened. He has always relied on Xiao Cai to increase his income, and now he still wants to do such disgusting things...

Bai Lu Qiansheng just felt annoyed at this time. She didn't understand how the guy in front of her had the nerve to say such things. Xiao Cai had always been very nice to him and had never offended him.

"Well, Ms. Shiraha, you need to understand us. The whole of Tokyo is worried right now, and no one is in the mood to watch idols. It's not a big deal for Ms. Maruyama to take advantage of her remaining fame and drink with the Toyokawa family's guests..."

I really don't want to hear this guy's disgusting tone.

At this moment, Bai Lu Qiansheng couldn't help but think so in her heart, and at the same time, she suddenly felt dizzy in her head, and countless indescribable noisy sounds briefly rang in her ears.

She saw herself in the mirror suddenly blink, and then the staff member's voice was abruptly interrupted. His expression instantly became empty, as if his consciousness had been taken away by something.

"Um...are you okay?"

Although she was shocked and disgusted by his proposal, Maruyama Aya couldn't help but ask a question when she saw his abnormal behavior. The next moment, the staff member suddenly walked straight to the table and picked up the fruit knife on it.

Before they could react, he opened his mouth and used the blade to cut off his tongue without hesitation. As blood continued to flow from his mouth, he walked tremblingly to the window, climbed up and jumped down.

"Boom,"

It wasn't until a heavy voice came from below that everyone finally came to their senses and realized what had just happened.

Chapter 193 Emergency Situation

"No, not here."

Walking quickly through the alley, Sato Masuki looked around and confirmed, but still did not find the pearl.

Seeing the figure of the couple, I couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

She didn't waste long before chasing after him, but the other party seemed to have anticipated her reaction and disappeared in the blink of an eye... What should she do now?

"Boom,"

Sato Masuki frowned, but the next moment she suddenly heard a heavy sound coming from not far away. The sound of bones breaking made her startled. She vigilantly held the pistol she had just taken out of the stronghold, and leaned forward to take a quick look at the situation in front of her.

I saw a man in uniform lying in a pool of blood. His twisted body showed that he had no signs of life and looked like he had fallen from a high altitude.

Ordinary murder? Or was it also due to this reason?

Sato Masuki was momentarily confused as to what was happening and subconsciously turned around to look around. However, he saw a girl with a surprised expression across from him. She didn't look Japanese, and there was a familiar figure around her waist... She was carrying a gun?!

Sato Masuki was stunned for a moment and quickly drew his pistol. The blonde girl noticed her action and did the same without hesitation. They almost hid behind the wall at the same time and pointed their guns at each other.

"Who are you?!"

The questioning sounded in unison, causing Sato Masuki to frown. She could hear many people surrounding her from behind, and she could not help but tighten her grip on the gun in her hand, her voice becoming much louder.

"Listen carefully! Tell your men to stop immediately, or I will open fire. There's already a body here. Someone might have called the police. Do you want to confront them?"

"From your tone, the police aren't a problem for you. So you must be a hunter for the committee?"

The blonde girl spoke coldly, observing her while speaking in somewhat broken Japanese.

"I don't want to cause you any trouble. As long as you promise not to take the initiative, I can make them stop the siege."

"Can,"

At the moment, the opposite side was obviously more numerous and powerful. Sato Mashiki did not intend to fight with these unknown people directly. She nodded slightly. The girl stared at her for a moment, picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words in a language she was not familiar with. Then the footsteps that gradually approached behind her stopped one after another.

"Okay, I've shown my sincerity. Now tell me, Hunter, why are you here? What is your purpose?"

"Do I need to answer you? You haven't even told me your identities yet."

"Of course you have to, because we can fire at you at any time. Do you think you, a hunter, can defeat us?"

"Heh, if you really had no scruples you wouldn't be talking to me. Besides, I can always call for more hunters. Do you want to start a war with us directly?"

The girl continued to ask with a cold face, and Sato Masuki did not give her any face at all. She sneered and gestured to the walkie-talkie in her hand. The blonde girl could not help but frowned, hesitated for a moment, sighed and spoke,

"...Okay, I didn't think I could keep it a secret from you for too long, but I didn't expect you to come to me so soon... You can call us Sammy. We have no intention of conflicting with you. We just want to take someone who belongs to us away."

"who?"

Just as Sato Masuki was asking the question, she saw a familiar face with a panicked expression sticking out from the edge of the rooftop window, which made her stunned for a moment.

"Maruyama Aya?"

The pink-haired idol took one look at the bloody corpse and quickly drew her head back in fear. In the darkness, she did not notice Sato Masuki and the blonde girl. She just collapsed to the ground, trembling.

"The staff member is...dead. There's blood all over him, and his neck is broken... What should we do?"

"Calm down, Xiao Cai,"

At this time, apart from Bailu Qiansheng who was frowning slightly and thinking about something, the one who was most calm was Hikawa Hina. She raised her hand and patted Maruyama Aya's shoulder, helping her up.

"You just saw it. That guy was completely suicidal. He might have acted on impulse, but that obviously has nothing to do with us."

"Well, I don't think that was a spur-of-the-moment thing..."

Despite being filled with fear, Yamato Maya couldn't help but complain when she heard her words, and Maruyama Aya was distracted by this, and the heavy fear was relieved a lot, and she immediately thought of what she should do now.

"Right...we should call the police first. No matter what, calling the police shouldn't be wrong."

"Boom, boom,"

She frantically took out her cell phone and tried to dial the number, but the next moment there was a knock on the door. She was so frightened that her hands trembled and her voice trembled.

"Yes, who is it?"

"I'm Sato Masuki. I'm with Hannie, who is a friend of Eve's who is self-harming. Please open the door."

The familiar voice coming from outside the door made Maruyama Aya breathe a sigh of relief. She hurried forward to open the door. When she saw that it was really Masuki and Hannie, she felt relieved and did not notice the subtle atmosphere of vigilance between them.

"Great, they are really Yimu and Eve's friends. Are you okay? Were you affected just now?"

"If you mean the body downstairs, we weren't unlucky enough to be hit by it."

Sato Masuki shrugged, then raised his hand to gesture to Hanni.

"However, for some reason, this lady from Finland insisted on not calling the police and even wanted to come up and talk to Eve about something..."

"Eve, I'm so glad you're okay,"

Before she could finish, Hannie quickly approached Eve and quickly held her hand.

"Come with me quickly. Your parents are seriously ill for some unknown reason. They really want to see you, and I don't know how long they can hold on. Come back to Finland with me quickly."

"Eh? Wait, Mom and Dad are sick? Is it serious? What's wrong?"

Wakamiya Eve asked subconsciously in confusion, but at the same time she was being pulled outside by Hanny. The blonde girl seemed to be very anxious and didn't want Eve to stay here for even a second.

"You'll understand when you get back. We have a lot of things that need your attention. It's sudden, but you really need..."

"Wait a moment,"

Before Sato Masuki frowned and was about to speak, Bailu Qiansheng spoke calmly first. Hanni frowned slightly and looked back at her with a slightly impatient tone.

"What's the matter?"

"You're telling the truth, aren't you?"

"Of course. Why would you doubt that?"

"Then why didn't Eve's parents even call her in advance? It's so sudden that it's really suspicious, and..."

Bai Lu Qiansheng shook his head slightly, and at the same time quickly stepped forward and reached straight for Eve's waist. The latter did not expect her to do this. Although she dodged in a hurry, the outline of the pistol under her hem was still visible to everyone.
