mygo, but Cthulhu

"Should be free,"

Mashiro looked up and met Aine's gaze. With a thoughtful expression on his face, he tried his best to control his heartbeat and blood flow. He slowly took out his cell phone and dialed the number. Under the gaze of the two, he turned on the hands-free mode.

"Mashiro, what's wrong?"

Ruwei's voice soon came from the other end of the phone, and Mashiro calmly asked,

"Ruwei, Aine, Tae, and I are investigating the death of the chairman. Tae witnessed what happened that day, but couldn't clearly see the identities of the two people involved. Do you know who performed the ceremony with the chairman?"

"Well, let me think...it seems to be two people from the student union.

But they don’t seem to like my style, so I don’t know them very well.”

Ruwei paused for a moment, then responded softly after thinking,

"I'll send you their information, but you'll have to research their addresses. I don't have the time for now."

"Well, thank you, Ruwei."

Mashiro nodded, and after hanging up the phone, he turned his gaze towards Aine and Tae.

"Ruwei will need some time to sort it out. I'll probably be able to send you the information tonight. After that, we should be able to find those two students... I have to find out why they did this."

"Well, I also have to find the murderer who killed my classmate... Well, goodbye, both of you."

Aine nodded, and then said goodbye to them softly. As she turned to leave, Mashiro turned to look at Dahui with a smile.

"Duohui, I'm so sorry to have dragged you into this... Do you want to go home now? I'll take you there."

"No, that would be too much trouble for you. Besides, it seems that the spell on Xiaobai hasn't ended yet. It will send back the final image after a while... I'll call you and describe the situation then."

Duohui shook her head and walked out of the school holding Xiaobai, while Kurata Mashiro kept looking at her back with a smile until she walked away. Her smile slowly disappeared, and then she took out her mobile phone with an expressionless face to send a message.

At the same time, Hua Yuan Duohui was also walking on the familiar way home. She gently stroked Xiaobai, who was a little listless. However, after turning a corner, she suddenly felt something strange and subconsciously looked back.

There was nothing behind her, but the strange feeling that Huayuan Duohui felt still did not disappear. She pursed her lips, hugged Xiaobai tightly, quickened her pace, and soon returned home and slammed the door shut.

After locking the door, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Duohui put Xiaobai on the table, and the next moment her vision changed again. The blurry figure who was strangling the student's throat gradually became clear, and Huayuan Duohui finally saw the distorted face of the murderer.

This is... Kurata-san? !

In shock, Hanazono Tae couldn't help but open her eyes wide in horror, and the face that was exactly the same as the one in the illusion was now close to her, but the expression of Mashiro that she had seen before was distorted and painful, but the Mashiro in front of her now just stared at her expressionlessly, with only coldness in his eyes.

"Hanazono-san...you saw it, right?"

Chapter 224 Mashiro's Rage

"Kurata-san...what are you talking about? I don't quite understand..."

With her head buzzing, Hanazono Tae tried hard to control her fear. She forced a smile and carefully reached into her pocket to take out her cell phone, but the next moment her hand was grabbed by Kurata Mashiro.

"Hanazono-san, your ability to conceal your expression isn't very good. You've seen the truth, right?"

"...I did see it. You killed that student. Why would you do such a thing, Kurata-san?"

Seeing that she could no longer pretend, Hanazono Tae was silent for a moment and then asked in confusion, while Mashiro took out a dagger and put it on her neck without changing his expression.

"Because she saw something she shouldn't have, Ruwei and Nanami killed the chairman for me... I know what crime I committed, but I can't let anything happen to them. If Tsuzuki Shifune knew this, she wouldn't let Ruwei and the others go no matter how tolerant she is towards us."

"And now, Hanazono-san, you happen to know all this... How do you think I should treat you?"

"..."

Duohui tried hard to stay calm, but under the gaze of those cold eyes, she couldn't help but tremble. The fear made her imagine the pain of her throat being cut. At the same time, she couldn't help but worry about whether Kasumi and the others could bear the pain when they knew the news of her death.

After a moment, she slowly squeezed out the sound,

"Are you going to kill me?"

"This is the safest way in the short term. After all, Ichigaya Yusaki, the only one of you who possesses magic, is already dead. I don't need to worry about her seeking revenge on me."

Kurata Mashiro nodded calmly, but just as Hanazono Tae was about to close her eyes and wait for death in despair, she suddenly changed the subject.

"However, I know more now than before. I used to think that death was the only way to prevent the leak... But the Bailu family also possesses mind-related spells. As long as they can erase your memory, then I shouldn't have to worry."

"But Shirasagi No Yoshiro seems very respectful to Ms. Tsuzuki. If she finds out about this, she will report it, right?"

"That's right, so I have to find a member of the Bailu family who can reach an agreement. Now it seems that the only one is Bailu Qiansheng. Although she has just been locked up in a mental hospital, it shouldn't be a problem for her to erase your related memories."

Kurata Mashiro nodded slightly, and at this time the other people from Morfonica also walked into the room. They were a little surprised to see that Tachi was still alive, and after listening to Mashiro's explanation, Touko and Tsukushi were obviously relieved.

"Is that so? It would be great if there was a way that didn't involve killing people. Although it might be a bit risky, it would be better for everyone."

"Well, if possible, I don't want to kill anyone. I did that before because I lost my mind."

Seeing their expressions, Kurata Mashiro relaxed a little. She put away Duohui's phone, put the dagger back on her waist, and gently reached out to her.

"Come with us now, Hanazono-san. I don't think you have any reason not to cooperate. Although we are indeed forcing you, you will only lose a little memory."

"You're right,"

Hanazono Tae nodded silently, took her hand, and stood up. Kurata Mashiro also smiled, turned around, and walked out the door first. However, after seeing the pink-haired girl in front of her, her originally happy smile suddenly froze on her face. She gritted her teeth and slowly squeezed out the other person's name.

"...Chihaya Aine,"

"Long time no see, Morfonica seniors,"

Aine calmly raised her hand and waved, but no one responded. They all held their weapons tightly in shock. Seeing this, her expression became somewhat helpless.

"To be honest, I was thinking of asking you for an autograph on Xiangzi's behalf, but it seems impossible now, right?"

"...When did you realize something was wrong? Could it be that my expression and heartbeat weren't disguised well enough?"

"No, you disguised yourself very well. I was indeed fooled. I came back to find Senior Garden mainly to repay this. It seems that I accidentally fell on the side of the road. I didn't expect... to see you here."

Aine raised her hand to indicate the pet tag with the rabbit's information written on it, and Kurata Mashiro couldn't help but sigh deeply because of such a coincidence.

"Okay... Well, you should have heard our conversation just now, right?"

"Well, after all, ever since I awakened my abilities, my senses have become sharper day by day... To be honest, I never thought that the person who killed my classmate would be you, Kurata Mashiro."

Chihaya Aine sighed softly, and Mashiro also looked around vigilantly, guarding against Mygo and the other people from Mujica. Seeing her expression, Aine smiled knowingly and shook her head slightly.

"Don't be so nervous, Rikki is still in the hospital after all, and I don't want to bother them because of my personal affairs.

"I'm involved... Although it may not be nice to say this, the classmate you killed was just an ordinary friend to me. It might have been difficult for me to accept such a thing before... But after all that happened, I don't feel too much about her death. I just tried my best to find the murderer because I was asked to do so."

Although Aine said this, she knew deep down that although her experiences so far had changed her personality, it was not to this extent... The bigger reason was the lamp's absorption of her life force. Every time she felt her body become more extraordinary and powerful during the rapid repair, her originally abundant emotions gradually dimmed.

The world seemed to be covered with a layer of gray in her eyes. Now she no longer cared so much about fashion and clothing styles, nor did she care much about the attention of other people... Except for the lights and them, she now found it difficult to have emotional responses to other people, and she did not feel sad about the death of acquaintances.

If she continued like this, what would she become? A monster without blood or tears? Oh, even if that were the case... she couldn't possibly change the situation. After all, Deng's consciousness had been preserved until now because of her persistence.

While thinking this in her heart, Chihaya Aine also raised her hand to Kurata Mashiro.

"But, after all, I've been asked to do this, and it's a bit difficult for me to just ignore you... How about this, Kurata-senpai, I'll only fight you and leave your teammates alone. Meanwhile, they can take Hanazono-san to find Shirasagi Chisei. If they succeed before I defeat you, I'll naturally stop without a witness."

"What if you defeat me before they succeed?"

"In that case, I'm sorry, I can only take you to see Ms. Tsuzuki... How about this, can you accept my proposal?"

Chihaya Aine asked softly, and Kurata Mashiro nodded calmly.

"Okay, but I have one condition. No matter what the outcome is, this is a matter between the two of us. Don't retaliate against my teammates because of our fight."

"That's what I was going to say, Kurata-senpai. It's great that you share the same idea as me."

Chihaya Aine nodded slightly, and Kurata Mashiro also shook her head vigorously at her companions who were anxiously trying to persuade her, indicating that they didn't need to worry about her.

"Don't worry. Judging from what Chihaya said just now, she won't kill me directly even if she wins... Hurry up and take Hanazono Tae to find Shirasagi Chisei. Leave this to me."

"Okay... Mashiro, you have to hold on. We will definitely succeed."

Yashiro Ruyu pursed her lips and nodded vigorously at her, eagerly pulling Hanazono Tae to the other side. When they were far away, Chihaya Aine sighed softly with some emotion.

"You care about them so much, Kurata-senpai. To be honest, I'm really surprised."

"Haven't you fought hard for your teammates many times before? We're all like that... What's so surprising?"

"That's true... But what surprised me is that even if you're not the real Kurata Mashiro, you're almost the same as her. You value Morfonica just as much as she does, and you care about your bandmates just as much... To be honest, I almost thought you were the real Kurata Mashiro."

"you……"

The biggest secret was revealed so casually that Kurata Mashiro's pupils suddenly constricted. Her mind was in chaos, and her thoughts were instantly filled with the rising urge to kill.

She knows, knows, knows, knows, knows, knows, knows… Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her!

Countless crazy voices belonging to "her own" seemed to ring in her ears, and Mashiro also tried her best to suppress the urge to take action. She clenched her fists tightly, staring at Aine closely while squeezing out a cold voice bit by bit.

"How...did you know that?"

"Looking at your incredible lying ability, last time, your teammate Hiromachi Nanami couldn't successfully deceive me even though he has snake-man blood, but you did it... When I discovered this, I knew you couldn't be Kurata Mashiro. Even if that Kurata-senpai had the Migo gene, he wouldn't have this level of mental strength."

Aiyin explained softly, glancing at the direction the others had left with a somewhat complicated expression.

"You didn't tell them that, did you? You were afraid they would abandon you."

"...What do you want to gain by pointing this out now? I don't think I have what you need."

"I'm not trying to gain anything. I'm telling you this now because you'll realize it later, and I don't want you to lose control of your emotions during a fight."

Aine shook her head, looked at her distorted expression and asked again,

"Then, may I take the liberty of asking where the real Kurata-senpai is?"

"She... is already dead. I killed her."

Kurata Mashiro's voice was trembling and full of pain, and after being stunned for a moment, Aine suddenly realized something and nodded slightly.

"You're afraid you'll no longer be needed, so you did this, right? And even after doing this, you still hate yourself. You care about your teammates but you're afraid they'll find out the truth... To be honest, I sympathize with you."

"you……"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kurata Mashiro's body trembled violently due to the strong emotions stimulated. Her face was distorted to a degree that was difficult for a human to achieve. At the same time that strange butterfly wings tore through the flesh and blood from her back, countless eyes suddenly opened in the upper part of her face. They quickly transformed into delicate compound eyes like a butterfly, making her look extremely terrifying.

"I see... You don't want them to see this form, too, right?"

Aine spoke subconsciously, but after she said it, she suddenly realized that her instinctive evaluation after her emotions had disappeared seemed a bit too straightforward... As expected, Mashiro was stunned for a moment, and then all her compound eyes even surged violently. Anyone could see that she was completely ignited with anger.

The next moment, as an extremely sharp and crazy roar sounded, the magical light that filled the sky almost covered the entire sky and instantly rushed towards Aine.

"Just... shut up!"

Chapter 225 Lisa's Persistence

When Yukina Minato stumbled around the corner, she saw only the completely collapsed mental hospital. After a moment of silence, she rushed forward tremblingly, desperately looking for her father.

"Father! Father! Where are you?!"

"Yukina..."

Fortunately, she soon heard a familiar weak voice. Yukina hurriedly looked around, gritted her teeth and kept moving obstacles away. Finally, she saw her father with half of his body trapped under the rubble. When she saw the situation clearly, she could no longer stand and fell to the ground, and the man slowly opened his eyes with difficulty.

He was lying in a pool of blood, his face extremely pale, but it seemed that because he was near death, he seemed to have regained some rationality and looked at her in a daze.

"Yukina...why are you here?"

"I saw it suddenly collapse not far away, so I rushed over as fast as I could... Dad, hold on, the rescue team will be here soon!"

Yuxi tried to comfort him with a trembling voice, and at the same time she gritted her teeth and tried desperately to move the heavy object off him, but no matter how hard she tried, her hands were only covered in blood and she couldn't succeed at all.

"Yukina... stop doing this, I can't feel my body anymore

I should be dying soon."

The man struggled to squeeze out a weak voice, while Youxina shook his head desperately in pain, wailing and trying desperately to push away the stones on him.

"No, don't say that, Father. You'll be fine. Don't say that..."

"Yukina, I want to... hear you sing. Can you sing for me one last time?"

The man tried to hold her hand with trembling hands, and Yukina finally realized that she was powerless. The grief of losing her parents one after another made her unable to hold back her tears. In the pain, she could only nod weakly.

"Okay, father, I'll sing, you must hold on..."

"I'm sorry, but you can't do that."

But as she was trembling and trying to make a familiar tone, a calm and familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her. She was stunned for a moment and turned around quickly, seeing Sato Mashiki looking at her with a complicated expression, his tone was tired but full of determination.

"Yukina, when Tamade Miu died, the residual sound of Truninbra she carried merged with you... The president had intended to secretly remove it without telling you, but you can't sing now. It's easiest to remove now. If you sing with pain and sorrow in your heart, it will completely merge with you... Then, we won't be able to free you from this curse."

"But... my father is dying! Can't he even listen to me sing one last time?!"

Minato Yukina opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and Sato Masuki just sighed after being silent.

"I'm sorry, but I'm doing this for your safety. You know how Tamade Miu died. Zang'e isn't complete, and it could easily get out of control. I can't let you get into danger... and if you do that, you'll become an unstable factor, and you'll probably hurt more people in the future."

"For my safety? Then let me ask you, why did this place suddenly collapse? Why is my father suddenly dying?! Did you try to stop this? Not only did you not prevent the accident here, but you also asked me not to fulfill his last wish... What reason do you have for doing this?!"
