"Why is this? Qiansheng? Why can't I come to see you again? Why would I be in danger because of this? Because of that puppeteer?"

"Perhaps, but the danger could also come from me. After all, I'm not sure if I'm sick or not... In short, it's best if you don't get close to me for now."

Bai Lu Qiansheng shook her head and turned to walk towards the hospital under the vigilant gaze of the security guards. Maruyama Cai subconsciously wanted to catch up with her, but was quickly stopped by the security guards.

"I'm sorry, miss, you can't get close to her anymore. She's obviously a violent patient. Even if you're her friend, you can't get too close to her. If something happens here, we'll all be held responsible."

"All of you get out of the way! She won't hurt me! Get out of the way!"

Maruyama Aya desperately wanted to push them away, but was held back by the security guards. She was pushed back by the explosion-proof shield and desperately called out to Qiansheng unwillingly, but the familiar figure in her eyes never turned back, but just staggered forward.

"Qiansheng! Qiansheng! Why would it be dangerous for me to get close to you? Whether it's a disease or an enemy, can't we face it together? Qiansheng!"

"..."

Bai Lu Qiansheng clenched her teeth and tried to ignore the familiar voice behind her. She didn't care about the pain in her body at all. She gritted her teeth and lowered her eyes. Besides anger, there was also an unconcealable uneasiness and confusion in her eyes.

Her mother hid many things but was unwilling to tell her. She tried her best to protect Xiao Cai, but was wary of everyone... Until now, she didn't know whether she was mentally ill or not, and she also began to be unable to believe everything she heard and saw.

She was already having trouble deciding what was true and what was false, what to doubt and what to believe. This mess of things made her breathless. She could only rely on her intuition to confirm the memories she could believe in, and could only confirm her goal of tracking down the puppeteer so that she would not sink into chaos.

...Since the puppeteer is related to his illness, he should try to cure it first. Maybe it will show up someday.

Shiraishi Chisei walked forward silently, and Maruyama Aya could only helplessly watch her gradually disappearing back. She trembled and sobbed softly in front of the hospital gate, not understanding why reality suddenly became so painful.

The patient who was beaten by Bai Lu Qian Sheng and covered in blood was also helped up and sent to another medical room. After the door was closed, the doctor looked up at him and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth.

"How do you feel now? Are there any broken bones?"

"You're a doctor, and you're asking me this? Your acting is terrible!"

The patient also laughed when he heard his words, and the doctor also sighed in frustration, and smiled as he tore off his entire face, but not even a drop of blood flowed out. His head turned into a book like a script, with the word "Doctor" written on the white cover. His voice was full of helplessness.

"Oh, I messed up, I messed up. How about you? How did you do this time?"

"Hahaha! You ask me?! I acted so well! She didn't notice a thing! She thought I was just a pathetic patient!"

The patient also laughed excitedly at this time, and tore off the skin of his face as well. His head was a script just like the "doctor's", but the cover said "patient".

"Come on, keep acting, keep acting. This time you'll be the patient! Whoever she finds first will be out!"

Chapter 208 Ruomai's Persuasion

"I think I understand what just happened... That huge scene was just caused by the awakening of the Glacier Sisters. It's really scary."

After listening to Xiangzi's narration, Yutenji Wakamu sighed, thought for a moment, and handed Xiangzi the latest information he had collected.

"I've done some research, and judging by the wedding supplies mobilized by the Toyokawa family, Mutsuko will likely be taken away by Hastur in a few days. It's certain that the entire wedding will be a large-scale ceremony, and if Mutsuko doesn't want to go with us, it will be nearly impossible for us to get her out."

"By the way, I also hacked into Mr. and Mrs. Wakaba's computer and found these videos... I think you need to take a look, Xiangzi."

Ruomai pushed the notebook over with a complicated expression and clicked on the video. When Xiangzi looked up, the first thing he saw was Ruoye Ryouhei's casual expression and the uneasy face of the young Ruoye Mutsu.

"The record begins. After integrating Toyokawa Shoko's placenta into the dead fetus, we discovered that the baby gained life and had incredible recovery abilities. I will demonstrate this one by one."

Then, under the incredulous gaze of Toyokawa Shoko, he picked up the meat cleaver and chopped off the girl's arm with force. The girl cried out immediately, and at the same time, Wakaba Mu's broken limbs quickly recovered. She knelt on the ground trembling, begging him to stop in a low voice, but Wakaba Ryohei continued to cut without paying any attention to her.

The cruel acts of gouging out facial features, pulling out internal organs, and pulling out the spine that made Toyokawa Shoko dizzy were all inflicted on Wakaba Mutsu, and her expression became calmer and more numb as she grew older, and she looked more and more like a living doll.

"Based on these

Mutsuko must have been abused for a long time, but she survived because of her special physique. This is probably why she doesn't think she is equal to us..."

"Boom!"

Before Ruomai could finish her words, Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth and smashed the laptop screen with force. Her fists were torn from using too much force, and the electric current stimulated her wounds, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the mental suffering.

"I...I'm going to kill them, these two damn beasts! I'm going to make them feel what Mu went through, and they're definitely going to regret it!"

"I have no doubt about that, but you should calm down for a moment. There's no point in getting angry at the notebook."

Ruomai sighed helplessly and threw the notebook into the trash can. At the same time, Chuhua quickly used magic to heal Xiangzi's wound. Xiangzi gritted his teeth and tried hard to suppress the anger that was about to get out of control.

"I know... I now understand why she said that. Only after she became Hastur's bride was she finally freed from the abuse by those two beasts. From this point of view, He did help her."

"But I don't understand why she didn't tell me this. If I had known this earlier, I would have made those two guys pay the price. They would never have survived until now."

"You're not unaware of Mutsuko's personality. She definitely doesn't want you to feel bad because of her own problems. And she probably didn't find the abuse unbearable anymore. Numbness has replaced her original thinking."

Ruomai shook his head, then looked up at her as if he had thought of something.

"Xiangzi, although I agree that we must rescue Muzi...but if you fail to persuade her in the end, then we can't just watch her be taken away. Shouldn't we prepare some coercive measures?"

"what do you mean?"

"The Toyokawa family will undoubtedly deploy numerous personnel at the wedding. Seeking help from the Shirasagi family is unlikely right now. Even if we act together with Mygo, it will still be quite difficult to defeat the Yellow King... I think if necessary, we can get Mutsuko closer to us, or rather, get her head closer to us."

"...I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean by letting Mu's head get closer to us?"

"Because judging by Mutsuko's physique, as long as her brain is intact, her body can be fully restored. And if her body is completely broken, her flesh will regenerate starting from her head."

Ruomai thought for a moment and drew a small head on the paper.

"Although she has strong recovery abilities, her body isn't as tough as Aine's. She's still an ordinary girl. A heavy sniper rifle bullet is enough to shatter her entire body, and the impact will send her head flying in a targeted direction. If we calculate it well, we can catch her head in time and quickly carry her away. This will be much easier than a head-on attack against the Yellow King's defenses, and will also facilitate our retreat."

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa blinked, confused for a moment, but after thinking about it again, she unexpectedly discovered that although this plan sounded incredible, it was actually feasible.

"That sounds possible... but the problem is how will the bullet penetrate the Yellow King's defenses? He's the incarnation of Hastur. It's impossible to shatter Mu's body by surprise, right?"

"Don't worry about that. Hailing was able to survive in the Dreamland fragments because of some kind of power. I experimented with her blood and found that this power has a special corrosive effect on the Outer Gods and the Old Ones."

Ruomai explained calmly and softly, and at the same time took out a test tube and dripped Hailing's blood onto the old seal. The latter immediately emitted a little light, which made Aiyin feel instinctively uncomfortable and her expression became a little surprised.

"I feel an instinctive disgust... Could it be that Hai Ling was contaminated by Nodens' power when she was on the verge of death? Is that why her blood can amplify the old seal?"

"That's the only explanation. Furthermore, I discovered that the blood amplification effect remains effective even after the blood has been wiped off. This means that if someone can distract the Yellow King, the bullet could shatter Mutsuko's body and send her head flying in the intended direction."

Ruomai nodded slightly, and Xiangzi sighed after thinking about it.

"It seems this is the only solution at the moment... Let's prepare as much as we can. No matter what, we can't give up on Mu. She's also a member of Mujica. We must do our best to bring her back."

They continued to discuss the plan until night fell, when Xiangzi, feeling dry mouthed, quickly drank a sip of water. She looked at the various plans on the table, sighed silently, and went out to the rooftop, hoping that the cold wind would calm her dizzy mind.

"Thank you for your hard work. It seems that you really value her."

Soon, the sound of a door opening was heard behind Xiangzi. Ruomai walked to her side and spoke softly, and she nodded slightly.

"Yes, she is my important friend and my half. Even if the enemy is Hastur, I will not back down... Are you comforting me because you see that I am under too much pressure?"

"I guess so, but it seems I was worried for nothing."

Ruomai smiled. She looked at the neon lights of Tokyo, and her eyes suddenly showed a complex meaning that Xiangzi did not quite understand. After a moment of silence, she suddenly sighed.

"Xiangzi, you have always cared about the people around you. Do you care about your parents too? Do you still want them back?"

"…Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"It's just something I felt. After all, the world is becoming increasingly dangerous. You never know when one of us will die... Just like my family, who lost their lives without any warning."

Ruomai's voice was somewhat sad, and Xiangzi pursed his lips and spoke softly.

"I really want them back, but I also know that this is impossible. They are already dead. Even if it is painful, we can only choose to move on."

"But death is not irreversible. You know that, don't you?"

Ruomai turned to look at her, and Xiangzi was startled by her unexpected words.

"You want to resurrect your family? You should know that Ms. Tsuzuki would never allow that."

"Yes, Tsuzuki Shifune wouldn't allow it, but even if she doesn't, can't we do it secretly?"

Ruomai stared at her seriously and held her hand.

"Shoko... I initially joined you just because of a commission from the Toyokawa family, but after going through so much with you, I've begun to feel that you truly value Mujica. That's why I'm willing to take risks and act together with you... But, we all have people we want to save, don't we?"

"I know you've been feeling guilty about your father's death. You almost committed suicide because of it. I understand how you feel, and I want my family back, just like you."

"Even if Tsuzuki Shifune is firm, do we have to listen to her? She's the chairperson of the committee, but does that mean she can decide everything? Does that mean she can constantly monitor us? Of course not."

"Ichigaya Yusaki said at the time that she had a perfect resurrection spell. Although the bodies of our family members are either nowhere to be found or have been cremated...but this means there is a possibility. We may be able to find our family members in other ways. You also want to do this, right?"

"...Why didn't you tell me in front of others before, but came to me alone?"

Toyokawa Shoko met her pleading gaze, and after a moment of silence, she began

Mouth asked, and Ruomai also sighed,

"Because I don't trust Mygo. After all, Kaname is Tsuzuki Shifune's granddaughter. Even if she has helped us a lot, I'm not sure if she will report us to Tsuzuki Shifune. But if you agree, then the others in Mujica will probably agree as well."

"Xiangzi, I'll be honest with you. Not long ago, a friend of Genjumaki's was shot. Mr. Genjumaki is very unhappy about this. He believes that this happened because we disrupted the situation... He contacted me and said that if we can disband MyGO and let them go home and no longer get involved in this kind of thing, then he will not hold us responsible. He is also willing to provide a perfect resurrection technique that does not require a corpse. Isn't that a good idea for us?"

"Let MyGO disband? But Deng and the others have sacrificed so much for us, how can we do this to them?"

Xiangzi frowned, and Ruomai sighed.

"I feel the same way, Xiangzi, but think about it, that's the request of the Genmaki Group. Putting aside how bad your relationship with the Toyokawa family is, even if you are still the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, do you have the confidence to disobey the Genmaki Group?"

"I know you care about Takamatsu Deng and the others, but we don't mean to hurt them. We just want them to return to normal life. That's a good thing for them, isn't it?"

"...I can't do it. Deng and the others have persisted until now because they care about me. I tried to persuade them before, but they didn't want to change their minds. Of course, I still can't do it now."

After a moment of silence, Toyokawa Shoko silently shook her head, and Ruomai raised the corners of his mouth, as if waiting for her words.

"It's simple. I've figured it out. They insist on doing this because they feel a sense of responsibility. As long as you can act out a trick and make them think that continuing to participate will hurt you, then they will definitely..."

"You want me to deceive them?"

Xiangzi interrupted her softly, and Ruomai's smile became a little forced after he was stunned for a moment.

"I prefer to call it a white lie. Just like when you left Crychic before, didn't you tell them the reason? Even if they knew the truth at that time, wouldn't they be unable to help you? We are doing the same thing now."

"You've seen the pain that Ichigaya Arisa is in. She's suffering because she lost her friends. Do you want Mygo and the others to go through the same thing? You're hurting them to prevent them from getting hurt even more."

"But they are already too deeply involved. No one can guarantee that they will be safe after MyGO disbands, not even the Xianjuan Group."

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips and observed Ruomai's expression.

"Ruomai, you're trying so hard to persuade me, it's not because you're worried about them, right? You're trying to persuade me to agree because of the resurrection technique promised by the Xianjuan Group, right?"

"..."

Yutenji Wakamu's expression froze. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She looked at Xiangzi with complicated eyes. After a moment of silence, she suddenly sneered.

"Yes, I admit, I have selfish motives. I came to persuade you because I want to revive my family. Because you have great influence on Mygo and Mujica, as long as you agree, Mygo will be easily disbanded."

"I also know how you view me now. You think I abandoned mygo for the promise of the Xianjuan Group, right? You think I'm a selfish guy who doesn't care about others for the sake of my family... But, is there any reason for me not to do the same?!"

Yutenji Wakamu gritted his teeth and raised his voice, then took a sudden step forward until he was right in front of Xiangzi, staring into her eyes with a distorted face.

"Toyokawa Shoko, you were born the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family. You could have given up all the splendor and wealth you already possessed and insisted on suffering to show your pride. No matter who it is, they all like you and care about you. They are all willing to endure pain for you and are willing to risk their lives for you!"

"You can hurt those who care about you, you can also rebel against your family, but what about me? Why did I persist in Tokyo for so long? It was just for my family. I just wanted to make enough money so that they could live a comfortable life and retire early without having to work so hard... Are my hopes too high? This has never been a problem for you, but why did I only end up hearing the news of their deaths?"

"I did the dirty work, I suppressed my conscience, all for this simple goal. They died. I worked so hard for your mujica for so long, can't even this small wish be fulfilled? Am I supposed to be like Sankaku Hatsuka and Wakaba Mu, devoting everything to you, enduring everything for you, without even the slightest disobedience?"

"Ruomai..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at her with a complicated expression. When she wanted to say something, Yutenji Wakami suddenly stepped back. She sighed and lowered her head, her voice exhausted.

"Anyway, I hope you can reconsider. After all, this is the Genjumaki Group, and they're the only ones who can offer a resurrection technique that doesn't require a corpse. What we need to do is simple. We can even apologize to Mygo after we get the resurrection technique and let them come back. But if that's the case, we need to be prepared to fight the Genjumaki Group."

"Of course, I don't think you can make a decision right now...just give me your answer later."

Chapter 209 Pain

Yukina Minato sat silently on the bench in the hospital, her mind dizzy with nervousness. Lisa sat beside her and tried to comfort her, but there was no way to relieve her worry and panic.

After the Black Day ended, she discovered that her father was also injured in the art museum massacre. She hurriedly sent him to the hospital, but the hospital was crowded with people injured in the Black Day. She finally got her father into the ward, and now she could only wait anxiously.

"boom,"

The next moment, she saw the door open and hurried over to greet it. The doctor hurriedly handed her the diagnosis sheet and quickly turned around to wave to the other injured people.

"It's not serious. Go to the lobby and get some medicine, then you can go home... Next!"

"Father, are you okay?"

Seeing that one of her father's arms was already wrapped in bandages, Yukina quickly supported him, but the man's expression was blank and empty. He turned his head to look at Yukina, as if he had just recognized her, and his voice was erratic.

"Yukina, it's you... Did you hear that music? That horrible, indescribable, yet incredibly beautiful music?"

"Father...what are you talking about? This is a hospital, why is there music?"

You Xina looked at him blankly, and the man was stunned for a moment and then showed pain on his face.

"Is this music? I remember I was in an art gallery, and I remember the world-renowned violinist started playing, and then... then what happened?"
