mygo, but Cthulhu

Bai Lu Qiansheng gritted her teeth and urged. Seeing that Maruyama Aya was still hesitating, she couldn't help but sigh. She raised her hand and cast a spell to make them and the other survivors float up and quickly push them out of the venue. After the door closed, she breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment the sudden intensification of pain almost made her fall.

"are you OK?"

Hikawa Hina quickly supported her body and frowned after looking at the hideous wound on her back.

Frowning, she raised her hand and touched it tentatively, and then Bai Lu Qiansheng felt some kind of power surge into her body, and the pain in her back quickly disappeared.

"Okay, now that the wound is healed, let's figure out how to deal with these melodies."

Hinata nodded slightly, and Shiraegi Chisei, feeling much more relaxed, looked up ahead, only to see a large area of ​​distorted and restless melodies occupying most of the venue. They kept emitting noisy and terrifying music, causing their heads to sting slightly.

At this time, the Hiromachi couple on the stage had also regained consciousness. They tried to struggle in panic, but their bodies were still being crushed bit by bit. Seeing that they could not break free, they turned their heads with difficulty to look at Bailu Qiansheng, and tremblingly condensed a drop of scarlet blood and made it float in front of her.

"Please, please give this to our child..."

"Tear,"

Before they could finish their words, their heads exploded instantly. Bailu Qiansheng sighed and put the drop of blood into his pocket. The next moment, Zhu Shou Meiyu suddenly opened her eyes. There were also distorted notes in her eyes. As she stood up, a huge human-shaped shadow appeared behind her.

At this moment, Bai Lu Qiansheng inexplicably understood that what he saw before him was the residual sound of Truninbula.

Chapter 202 Li Xi's Frustration

"The call was hung up... Ruomai, do you have a way to locate Bai Lu Qiansheng's phone? I suspect something may have happened to her."

Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, Toyokawa Shoko thought for a moment and then turned to look at Ruomai, who looked at her with some surprise.

"Just because I hung up the phone, do you think something's happened again? Xiangzi, I know things haven't been peaceful lately... but aren't you being too paranoid?"

"It's better to be suspicious than unprepared. First, locate her position and see if there's any surveillance. If there is, hack into it and confirm the situation. You can never have too much intelligence."

"Okay, well, ever since I teamed up with you guys, I've been hacking cameras every day. Fortunately, I have strong skills, otherwise I would have been arrested sooner or later."

Ruomai sighed, confirmed the position and started to operate. He looked up at the unchanged code and data on the screen, and his expression became a little subtle.

"Okay...it seems like you were right this time. Shiragi Chisei is currently in an art gallery. According to reports, Tamade Miu is performing there, but the cameras there aren't responding. It's either due to disrepair or damage from some kind of influence. It's most likely the latter."

"Okay, let's do it now. If we go over and help them now, we can also do them a favor."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, and at the same time Mygo and Mujuca subconsciously began to prepare. Hailing, who had just been discharged from the hospital, wanted to stand up with crutches, but Toyokawa Shoko held her shoulders and looked up at her seriously.

"Hailing, you've just recovered from your injuries. It's better not to go over this time. Stay with Ruomai."

"...That's right, if I went there, I would just be a burden."

After a moment of silence, Hailing nodded silently, while Ruomai didn't care where he was going. He smiled and waved to them.

"Be careful, Haizi and I will be waiting for you to come back."

"Don't worry, we will come back without missing a single one."

Toyokawa Shoko answered casually, and after thinking for a moment, she turned to look at Li Xi who had just picked up the pistol, pursed her lips and spoke softly,

"Lixi...how about you stay too?"

"...Are you trying to say that I'm also a burden?"

Li Xi was stunned when he heard her words. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke while tightening his grip on the pistol.

"Although my marksmanship isn't as good as Hai Ling's, I've been practicing for a long time. I think I can still help you."

"That's generally true, but since it affects the camera, there must be trouble that's difficult to solve with bullets. I know you've been studying magic very hard, but this kind of thing can't be achieved through simple effort... I don't think you're a burden, but you are indeed the most vulnerable link in mygo right now. I hope you can be safer."

"But... I don't want to be the only one left here, unable to help you."

Lixi lowered her head, and Xiangzi sighed and continued to comfort her softly, holding her hand gently.

"It's okay, Lixi, you don't need to blame yourself. I understand your thoughts, but the objective situation cannot be changed just by wanting to. Stay here and wait for us to come back. We will take you with us next time if possible."

"……I see."

Li Xi stared at the ground for a moment, nodded silently, and walked over to comfort her subconsciously, but Li Xi shook his head at her first.

"It's okay, Deng, don't worry. I didn't think it through. I'm the only one among mygo right now who doesn't know any spells. If I insist on following you, I'll only become your weakness... Remember to protect yourself. No matter who the enemy is, don't be soft-hearted."

"Yes, I know, Lixi. For the promise I made with everyone, I will face it bravely."

Deng nodded seriously, and when she was about to say something, the others had already started to leave. She could only say goodbye to Li Xi apologetically, turned around and hurriedly caught up with everyone.

Li Xi tried hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart, waved goodbye to the other people in mygo, and waited until the door closed, she sighed tiredly and depressed.

"Is it sad?"

A familiar voice sounded, and Hailing came over with a cane and handed a box of panda milk jelly to Lixi. The latter looked at the thing in her hand and felt complicated for a moment.

"Hailing...tell me, am I already behind them?"

"Don't worry about that. No matter what, you're still a member of MYGO, right? Right now, I'm the one who needs to worry about not being able to keep up with Xiangzi and the others. Look at me, I'm having trouble even going to the bathroom."

Hailing raised her hand and pointed at the bandage on her leg, and made a joke softly. Li Xi, knowing that she was trying to comfort him, just shook his head silently.

"It's different. You've been a hunter for over a year. Even if your injuries haven't fully healed yet, your marksmanship is still better than mine. No matter how much I practice, I won't be able to catch up to you quickly. Once your injuries heal, you will definitely be much stronger than me."

"Li Xi, you're too worried about gains and losses. After all, I'm a year ahead of you. If you can catch up so quickly, then I'll start to doubt whether I'm really useless."

Hailing sighed softly. She looked at Lixi and hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke slowly.

"Besides, if it weren't for me, your sister would still be alive. Her fighting ability would definitely help us more. If that were the case, I shouldn't be standing here now."

"It's not the same thing, don't say that, you are very important to us."

"In that case, stop doubting yourself. Power isn't something you can easily obtain, and as you know, power often comes at a high price."

Hailing shook her head, and Lixi just sighed silently. She glanced at the panda milk jelly, but had no mood to drink it at all.

Power does come at a price, but if I could possess it, I could fight alongside Deng and the others...

"Boom,"

"what sound?"

Just as she was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from outside the house. Hailing frowned and subconsciously picked up the pistol. She slowly walked to the window to check, and Lixi and Ruomai also held their weapons.

"I didn't see anything, maybe just a stray dog."

Observed

After a while, Hailing still found nothing. She thought for a while and turned around to shrug at them. Ruomai also breathed a sigh of relief and reluctantly put the gun back into the drawer.

"Oh, enough is enough. Life these days is so insecure. I have to erase my traces online every day, and I have to be careful of every little thing in real life. If this continues, I'm really going to be exhausted."

"There's nothing I can do. Meow Mengzi, just hold on."

Hailing shrugged, and Ruomai was too lazy to complain about her address. She snorted and continued to play with her phone. Seeing this, Hailing couldn't help but curl her lips. However, when she saw Lixi frowning and staring at the other side, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She looked over but only saw the wall.

"Lixi...what's wrong?"

"No... nothing. I seemed to feel something just now, but now it's gone. Maybe it's just an illusion."

After thinking for a while, Li Xi shook his head.

"Don't worry about it. Just continue to tell me the tricks of shooting. I must improve my strength as soon as possible."

Chapter 203 Puppet Master

The next moment, distorted melodies suddenly rose and exploded, weaving into music familiar to Bailu Qiansheng and the others, causing them to open their eyes wide involuntarily.

"This is...our song?"

Wakamiya Eve opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and just as she was shocked, a tearing pain suddenly came from her mind, and she didn't have time to dodge the sweeping melody, and was smashed away. The strange notes and the ice that instinctively emerged from her body surface continued to fight for control of her body.

"Eve, this is all its trick. Don't think this is our song, or it will catch us!"

Bai Lu Qiansheng gritted her teeth and raised her voice to remind him, while subconsciously deploying a shield to block the incoming melody. The music she had always loved had now become an indescribable and terrifying weapon, forcing her to clench her teeth.

"Buzz,"

Tamade Miu's body gradually cracked, and at the same time, the distorted melody became louder and louder. Bailu Qiansheng felt as if she had fallen into bottomless darkness, and the extremely chaotic flute and drum beats pierced her panic instinct, making it difficult for her to struggle.

Even if it was just the residual sound of losing control, it was still enough to tear apart all the spirit of this ridiculous creature. After all, she was not strong, and she had never had a particularly strong spirit...

"Do you still think so now?"

A voice suddenly rang in Bai Lu Qiansheng's ears, and she suddenly opened her eyes, shocked to find herself in that strange castle. The twisted black shadow was right in front of her, and the strange eyes looked at her calmly, still with mockery and sarcasm, but this time there seemed to be more expectations.

"Have you remembered where this place is? Bai Lu Qian Sheng? Or do you still want to escape?"

"I, I don't understand what you are saying..."

Bai Lu Qiansheng shook her head subconsciously in confusion, and the dark figure also sighed, and then countless silk threads suddenly unfolded from behind it, piercing her body before Qiansheng could react.

"Well, since you insist on doing this, let me help you solve this trouble... However, this also means that you have to start facing these things."

As the words fell, Bai Lu Qiansheng's vision suddenly changed. The scene around her turned into a dirty house. Just as she looked up, she saw a fat, twisted, excited face. He pressed down her body, which had become small for some reason, and the excited and rough voice sounded like a pig.

"Hahaha! Look who I caught? Bai Lu Qian Sheng! You're a child star! I never thought I could catch you!"

"Who are you?! Get away from me! Don't come near me... Snap!"

She wanted to scream in fear, but just as she made a sound, she was slapped hard. The burning pain stimulated her nerves, and at the same time she heard the sound of clothes being torn.

"Damn it, little one, how dare you talk to me like that?! Are you tired of living?! Look, I'm going to teach you a lesson right now and let you know how powerful I am!"

"No, don't, don't!"

Amidst panic and confusion, Bai Lu Qiansheng could no longer understand what was happening. She could only wail and scream, trying to push the man's heavy body away but was completely unable to do so. She could only desperately bite his shoulder, causing him to fall to the side in pain.

I must flee from here, I must, I absolutely cannot stay here any longer...

The panic escape seemed to have been repeated thousands of times. Bai Lu Qiansheng subconsciously stumbled towards the light gate in front, but the next moment her hair was pulled hard, and she was pulled back to the bed and pressed under the man again.

...Everything that happened afterwards was a blur in Bai Lu Qian Sheng's perception. She could only feel pain and an extremely intense nausea. Just when she couldn't count how many times she had wailed and cried, she suddenly fell heavily to the ground. The scene before her was the art gallery from before. The distorted melody in the sky froze in her eyes, and the mocking voice of the black shadow rang in her ears.

"Is that all you can't stand? This is just average in my kingdom. Do you really have to act like that?"

"You...who are you? Why did you make me go through that?!"

Recalling the nightmare she had just experienced, Bai Lu Qiansheng almost vomited. She gritted her teeth and questioned angrily, while a laugh filled with contempt and self-mockery soon rang in her ears.

"You ask who I am? Hahaha, you're really ridiculous, treating me like a toy all the time... Well, since you asked, I have no other choice... I'm the Puppet Master, the master of the Puppet Kingdom in the Dreamland. I'm a dream maker, and I can help you resist everything that's happening right now."

"boom!"

As the sound fell, all the melodies shattered instantly. They collapsed and slowly dissipated, and large pieces of flesh and blood were torn off Tamade Miu's body. Although her body was badly broken, she continued to play with a pale face, condensing more distorted melodies.

"It's just a residual sound. It's useless to struggle."

The dark figure shook his head, and then a blurry gap suddenly opened not far away, and large numbers of puppets and marionettes fell out from it. They struggled to get up quickly, screaming and rushing towards the falling Melody. The huge number of them drowned out the Melody, tore into Tamade Miu's body, and made the latter fall heavily to the ground.

"Okay, that's settled. Although there's a high probability that Miu Tamade won't survive, it's none of my business... Shiragi Chisei, you should pay the price for asking for my help."

Just as they were shocked by the puppeteer's fighting power, it suddenly turned and looked at Qiansheng indifferently, causing the latter to tremble, but he still tried to maintain his composure and spoke in a deep voice,

"Wait, before I pay the price, can you answer a few questions for me first? Why did you help me? What did you mean by what you said before?"

"Why should I answer you?"

The puppeteer sneered and raised his hand to release a huge silk thread towards Bailu Qiansheng. Wakamiya Eve subconsciously condensed ice crystals, but as soon as Fengxue appeared, all the puppets rushed forward frantically, trying their best to stop her actions.

"Thousand Saints!"

Just before Bailu Qiansheng was about to be swallowed by the silk thread, Hikawa Hina gritted her teeth and pushed her away. In Qiansheng's sight, she was instantly pierced by the sharp silk thread, and the hot blood spurted onto the tip of Qiansheng's tongue, making her taste the distinct smell of blood.

"It's so touching, but it's of no use at all."

The puppeteer shook his head expressionlessly, raised his hand, and prepared to let the silk thread tear Hikawa Hina's body into pieces, while Bailu Qiansheng wailed desperately, tears streaming down his face.

"Stop! Don't kill her! Whatever you want, I can agree to it! Don't kill her, please!"

"Haha, I really should take a picture of you right now, Bai Lu Qian Sheng, so that I can laugh at your hypocrisy in the future."

Bai Lu Qian Sheng's pleading only made the puppeteer laugh sarcastically. He shook his head in contempt, slowly walked to Qian Sheng's face, and gently patted her shoulder.

"So, are you willing to go back to that disgusting place to save her? Are you willing to endure all that pain for her? Are you willing to be an animal, a piece of meat that gets cursed and beaten?"

"I...I am willing! As long as you can let her go, I will do anything you ask me to do!"

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Lu Qiansheng gritted his teeth and roared, while the puppeteer was stunned for a moment and then laughed hoarsely.

"Hahaha, yes? You really value your friends, Bai Lu Qiansheng. But I think you shouldn't be so exaggerated. You can't just say you're willing to do anything, because you don't know what's waiting for you."

"But since you said so, I'll show you everything. After all, you forced it upon me."

The next moment, the puppeteer tore open his chest with force, and filthy blood flowed out. Bai Lu Qiansheng also saw countless horrific and bloody scenes from the glowing hole, and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

…They were all herself at different ages, being tortured like she had just been, or lying on the operating table to have her organs taken out and made into living human artifacts… All the filth that humans could or could not imagine gathered here, and she was the protagonist of the suffering. She seemed to be able to feel the numerous horrible pains, her pupils contracted and trembled, and she became increasingly unable to understand what was going on.

"What's wrong? Bai Lu Qiansheng? Have you forgotten? You forced all this on me. Have you forgotten?"
