mygo, but Cthulhu

Seeing that the blood hole was still difficult to heal, Shoko Toyokawa trembled and screamed. She looked up and hurriedly looked for her friends, but found in despair that they were all blocked on the other side by the horrific battle of crimson and mucus, and there was no way to get close here.

"Xiangzi...quickly, take out the notebook I have on me..."

Ruomai opened her eyes and coughed up blood while trying to squeeze out a sound. Xiangzi was stunned for a moment and quickly took out the blood-stained notebook. Ruomai also desperately raised her hand to insert a signal amplifier into it. Soon, the notebook could hear the anxious and angry voice of Xian Juanan.

"No! The sniping attempt failed! What should we do now?! Tsuzuki Shifune must have reacted. Even if she's temporarily unable to free her hands, there's no way we can launch a second sniping attack! Do you have any plans?!"

"That's impossible. Tsuzuki Shifune is desperate now. If we dare to show our heads, she will kill us immediately."

The girl sighed, and Xian Juanan took a deep breath and calmed down.

He picked up something, then spoke in a deep voice,

"I have a solution... Intelligence organizations from all over the world have seen the situation there, and they're all in a panic. If I use my influence now, I can get the nearby missile bases to launch missiles in unison. Tsuzuki's poetry ship has blind spots that it can't cover because it's trying to suppress that Shoggoth... The missiles will definitely kill Toyokawa Shoko. We can talk about the rest later. I must get the Heir of Shoggoth. This is all for the sake of my heart!"

"You're really crazy... Then let's do as you say."

The girl responded casually, and Yutenji Wakamu also struggled to pull out the signal amplifier, stopping the monitoring that was about to be discovered. She tightly grasped Xiangzi's hand, her voice trembling and extremely anxious,

"Xiangzi, hurry up, hurry up and get out of here... I've calculated that although you can't use that kind of power... but as long as you run as hard as you can, you can escape the most dangerous area... You, you can survive..."

"You mean... let me abandon you?"

Toyokawa Shoko opened her eyes wide, and Yutenji Wakami couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I betrayed you before, Xiangzi... I'm not worth your attention. Don't worry about me. Hurry up, run quickly... It will be too late if you delay any longer..."

"How could I possibly abandon you! Yutenji Wakami, you're the drummer of avemujica! I still need you to play the drums!"

Toyokawa Shoko gritted his teeth, growled softly, and carried her on his back without hesitation. Blood soon soaked Shoko's clothes, and she dragged her aching body and ran forward desperately, holding Ruomai's arm tightly.

However, although Ruomai was not heavy, the shoggoth tissue in Xiangzi's body still seriously affected her physical strength. Her breathing soon became rapid, and her fatigue and pain continued to increase. Xiangzi also tried his best to speed up his pace regardless of everything.

"Xiangzi... put me down quickly. You can't get far if you carry me on your back..."

Ruomai weakly whispered in her ear, but Xiangzi continued to move forward without wavering. While stumbling and running, he tried to squeeze out the strength to grit his teeth and respond to Ruomai.

"Don't joke with me. What do you mean by that? Do you think I'll give up on you? I'm telling you, you saved my life, so of course I'll save yours... You absolutely can't die. Absolutely."

"Xiangzi...you are really...stubborn. From the first time I met you until now, this hasn't changed..."

Ruomai realized her determination and couldn't help but smile bitterly. She closed her eyes and spat out another mouthful of blood. Suddenly, her body was covered with a layer of light and shadow of data stream.

"But, Xiangzi... do you know why my nickname is Ghost? It's because... I possess a special magic. Whenever I wish, I can become a ghost in the network, easily passing through barriers and destroying data and signals... Modern missiles also require electronic signal guidance... I can prevent them from hitting here."

"Using magic in your current physical condition? No! You won't be able to hold on! I won't allow it!"

Toyokawa Shoko opened her eyes wide, and after realizing what she meant, she couldn't help but roar, while Ruomai chuckled and sighed helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Xiangzi... This is the last time I'll act on my own."

"Ruomai! Stop!"

Toyokawa Shoko wailed and tried to forcibly extract power to block her spell, but the next second Yutenji Wakami turned into a stream of data and directly entered the notebook in her hand.

With a shrill buzzing sound, a data stream visible to the naked eye burst out from the notebook. It emitted a brilliant light, continuously dispersing and entering other electronic devices, sweeping up all the data inside before bursting out again.

In the constantly switching perspectives, Yutenji Wakamu calmly tore her body apart, and with the help of the remaining power of the descendants of Yug, she desperately expanded the data she could control, using them to forcibly pass through different types of electronic hubs, not caring about the data torn from her body.

"Xiangzi, at first I was actually quite jealous of you. I didn't understand why you had to give up what I had always pursued and endure all this pain... Now I understand, it's precisely because you are Xiangzi Toyokawa."

"No, no, no... This is impossible! What's going on?!"

Cybersecurity centers in various countries simultaneously detected this incomprehensible phenomenon. All relevant personnel stared at the strange signals on the screen with wide eyes in disbelief, watching this ball of living data continue to expand, paralyzing all networks in Japan at a terrifying speed, and even beginning to invade other countries.

The target missile base had already been overwhelmed by the chaotic data, and the missiles were bound to deviate, but as the price of forcibly launching the spell, Yutenji Wakamai could no longer stop... She watched her soul being continuously split apart, and the madly accumulated data formed a storm, sweeping across the entire world.

"Xiangzi, I've always cared so much about the family I've lost that I didn't realize you care about me so much... I'm sorry. In such a dangerous world, I should have cherished every minute with you instead of wasting time arguing."

Yutenji Wakamu sighed silently and tried her best to reduce the damage, but the price was that her soul became more and more tattered. Finally, everything finally calmed down, and she tried to collect her own data and returned to the notebook... Then, she found that she could no longer condense her body, her data was already shattered, and she was about to die.

So, she used her last bit of strength to try to convert what she wanted to say into an audio signal so that she could say goodbye to Xiangzi. Darkness quickly covered her vision, and she reluctantly reached out her hand to the void. As her body disappeared, the last thing she remembered was every little detail about Mujica.

"Xiangzi, I'm about to die, but I still want to tell you that I'm very glad that I accepted your invitation. Even though it was just for the mission at the beginning, I gradually regarded Avemujica as an important home... I'm proud to be the drummer of Mujica."

"So, don't feel sad for me. Even without me, you must keep going... for our mujica."

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa stared blankly at the data that had completely disappeared from the screen, her pupils contracted to the limit, tears streaming down her face and dripping onto her clothes soaked with Wakami Yutenji's blood.

"boom!"

The missile, which had deviated from its trajectory, bombarded a building in the distance. With the roar of the collapsed building and the people's screams of terror, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly came to her senses. She knelt on the ground helplessly, holding her notebook. Her vision was shaking violently due to the extreme pain, and only a chaotic buzzing remained in her ears.

"By the way, with so many drummers, why did you choose me?"

"Xiangzi, why did you give me a code name that means love? Huh?"

"Hey, are you serious about this drumbeat? Spare me some time..."

The memories of Yutenji Wakami flashed wildly in Toyokawa Shoko's mind, and when she subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch them, they all shattered, making her open her eyes suddenly as if waking up from a dream, and while trembling and clenching her teeth, she screamed hysterically.

"String scroll!!!"

Chapter 256 I Just Want to Sleep Here

"...Xian Juan'an's behavior this time is intolerable. When this is over, I will make him pay the price."

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko

Seeing the situation over there, Tsuzuki Shifune couldn't help but sigh, then turned his cold gaze towards the Shoggoth.

"As for you, it would be better for you to disappear from this world as soon as possible."

She raised her hand, increasing the crimson light. The increasingly violent energy quickly strangled the vast tissues that had evolved to the extreme, squeezing all resistance and madness firmly within the barrier, leaving the Shoggoth helplessly feeling his vitality fade away bit by bit.

"Heh... Our confrontation is almost making the situation on Bailu Qiansheng's side unstable. Tsuzuki Shichuan, are you sure you want to continue increasing your strength like this?"

Despite being at an unchangeable disadvantage, the Shoggoth couldn't help but sneer at this moment. Tsuzuki Shifune frowned, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to let the crimson continue to spread, and his voice was extremely calm.

"You're dangerous. If I relax even a little, you might escape, and I can't let that happen... I do have some preferential treatment for those children who love music, but that doesn't mean I will put the whole of Japan in danger for them."

"Really? Then you're truly a pitiful person. You're clearly reminiscing about the past and can't bear to eliminate them right from the start, but you don't just consider them completely. You also care about so many innocent people who have nothing to do with you... You're weak because of your pain, Tsuzuki Shisen. I sympathize with you."

"I don't need a monster's pity,"

Tsuzuki Shifune responded coldly and softly, raising her hand to kill it in one fell swoop, but then she suddenly felt something, and after a moment of hesitation, she turned her head to look at the passage, her expression becoming extremely serious.

"A massive amount of pollution is being pushed into reality by Bai Lu Qian Sheng... Is she doing this to save her friends? But this will also cause more deaths..."

"Look, Tsuzuki Poetry Ship, because of our battle, Shiragiri Chisei is no longer able to control the pollution created by the Puppet Kingdom, and has directly dumped it into the real world... What will you choose now?"

Seeing her reaction, the Shoggoth couldn't help but laugh, and Tsuzuki Shifune took a deep breath after a moment of silence. She tried her best to squeeze out more strength from her shaky old body. While firmly blocking the Shoggoth, she raised her hand and aimed at the passage on the other side, and the surging crimson light condensed bit by bit.

"Grandma Tsuzuki...what are you going to do?"

Toyama Kasumi couldn't help but open her eyes wide at this moment, and Tsuzuki Shifune didn't look at her. She sighed and explained softly in a tired voice,

"I'm sorry, Kasumi... but I've sensed it. The pollution is filled with indescribable madness and malice, and it's all been infused into one person. The power of Hastaluk, the god of viruses, has descended upon her because of her desperate prayers... All the pollution is transforming into the most twisted virus. If she's allowed to escape, all of Japan could be destroyed. I can't take that risk."

"You want to destroy the passage? But Sha Ling hasn't come out yet. Can't we wait until she comes out and then..."

"I told you I can't take this risk. I don't know when the infected person will return to reality, and because of Hastaluk, the time and location of her appearance are uncertain... I must destroy the passage and seal the gap between reality and the Dreamland. This is the only thing I can do."

"Wait, seal the gap? Does that mean we can't go to the Dreamland anymore?"

Minato Yukina was stunned for a moment and then asked eagerly, while Tsuzuki Shifune just nodded silently. After receiving her affirmation, Yukina couldn't help but tremble, and her voice was filled with panic.

"Ms. Tsuzuki, I still need to take Lisa to the Dreamland to heal her hands, and the Glacier Sisters also need Shiragi Chisei to change their essences in the Dreamland. Not to mention Maruyama Aya and the others are also in the gap... You will kill them."

"...I'm sorry, but I can't let more innocent people die for you,"

Tsuzuki Shifune shook her head silently, while continuing to increase the strength of her hands. At this time, the Shoggoth also began to struggle to resist and delay her movements, but still could not compete with Tsuzuki Shifune.

"Wait! Lixi is also in a period of rest. She is not familiar with her new abilities yet. If you attack her now, you will kill her!"

The next moment, Hai Ling's urgent voice suddenly rang out. She hurriedly blocked Tsuzuki Shichuan's way, and the old man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Kaname also reacted at this time, and couldn't help but open his eyes and hurried forward to grab her sleeve.

"Grandma, please, please stop first, okay? I don't want anything to happen to Rikki..."

"... Lenai, I really want to agree to you, but those viruses are abominable and crazy. I can't let so many people be affected... I really can't."

After hesitating for a moment, Tsuzuki Shifune responded in a low voice through clenched teeth. Le Na wanted to say something anxiously, but the next moment her body and mouth were bound by Crimson. Even if she struggled desperately, it was useless. She could only watch it all.

Tsuzuki Shifune turned his head away, unwilling to meet her gaze filled with pain and pleading. He closed his eyes and his expression became extremely cold. He looked up at Hachiman Kairei, who still refused to move away.

"Hunter Black Wolf, get out of the way right now. Everything I do is for the lives of more people."

"So we have to sacrifice Lixi?! President, Lixi is truly my most important friend. Please, for all I've done for the committee..."

"I won't say it a third time, get out of the way right now."

Tsuzuki Shifune raised her voice, and at the same time, Hachiman Kairei also saw crimson spells appearing around her. She was stunned for a moment and then clenched her teeth. She clearly realized Tsuzuki Shifune's determination and couldn't help but clenched her fists.

"President...are you really going to do this?"

"The purpose of the committee's existence is to protect more innocent people. Sacrificing the minority to protect the majority has always been an inevitable reality... Not only your friends should live, all innocent people should live. I just don't want to see so many people die in vain."

Tsuzuki Shifune stared at her expressionlessly, and when the spell was about to bind Hachiman Kairei, she suddenly seemed to have made up her mind, gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and retreated to the other side.

"I'm glad I don't have to use violence against you."

Tsuzuki Shifune nodded, but when she was about to cast the spell, she saw Genmaki Shin and the others as well as the other members of Mygo rushing over eagerly. She couldn't help but shook her head and formed a barrier to block them outside.

"I'm sorry, but I have no choice... I have to do this,"

Then Tsuzuki Shifune raised her hand and aimed at the passage. She knew that her granddaughter was struggling desperately, sobbing and crying. She also knew that she would kill several girls in exchange for the lives of more people.

...but she didn't want more innocent people to experience the pain she had gone through.

"Tear,"

The next moment, Tsuzuki Shifune heard the sound of flesh being torn. She was stunned for a moment, and then a clear feeling of pain surged into her mind, causing the magic she had accumulated to slowly dissipate.

"I'm sorry, President...but I can't let you do this."

Hachiman Kairei spoke softly with trembling voice, while at the same time trying her best to increase her strength to continue stabbing the dagger into Tsuzuki Shifune's body. She chose to retreat just now not because she gave up on Riki, but because she knew that there was no possibility of winning if she confronted Tsuzuki Shifune head-on... She was waiting for the moment when she was most unprepared.

"Hailing... I remember you preferred the bass to the dagger... I didn't expect you to be able to use weapons so unhesitatingly now."

Blood flowed out of the wound little by little, and Tsuzuki Shifune could feel her vitality fading away little by little. She turned back to look at Hailing.

He spoke in a somewhat complicated tone, and the latter's face was distorted by strong emotions.

"You said it before, this world is cruel... I just want to protect the people I care about. Even if it means more people will die, I don't care."

"Yeah……"

Tsuzuki Shifune sighed weakly and closed her eyes, while Hailing gritted her teeth and kept pulling out the dagger, piercing her heart again and again, but then she was shocked away by Shenhong, fell heavily to the ground and was bound by the spell. Tsuzuki Shifune did not care about her fading vitality, and raised her hand to condense the spell on the channel again.

"But, I just want to protect as many people as possible..."

"Tear,"

The pain once again interrupted Tsuzuki Shifune's voice. She was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Hachiman Kairei who was still tied up, then slowly lowered her head to look at Wakamiya Eve, who was holding the dagger and stabbing it into her body with a painful and distorted expression on her face.

"Eve..."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Tsuzuki...but, Xiaocai and Qiansheng are in there! How can I just watch them die like this? I can't do it at all. I can only stop you. I'm sorry..."

"...No need to apologize, I should be the one apologizing to you."

Tsuzuki Shifune sighed deeply. She raised her hands and bound Eve to the ground. When she turned around and tried to squeeze out her strength to raise her hands again, another dagger stabbed into her body.

"..."

Tsuzuki Shifune was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face became lonely and tired. She smiled bitterly, but when she saw the person behind her, even though she had prepared herself mentally, her expression still became extremely bitter.

"Kasumi, you too?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...but, but Saaya is still in there. Arisaki and Satomi are both dead. I really can't lose her again. I'm sorry..."

Toyama Kasumi cried and whispered an apology, while piercing Tsuzuki Shifune's body over and over again. Blood soon gathered into a pool under her body. The old man looked at the girl with tears in her eyes and couldn't help but recall the time when she used to have a relaxed smile on her face.

...Why has the world become so cruel? Or has it always been like this?

Tsuzuki Shifune looked up at the azure sky, as if she could not feel the pain. She suddenly felt very tired. Even though she could easily repair her wounds, even though she could easily kill all the girls here, she simply did not want to do so.

"Don't cry, Kasumi... You were just trying to protect your friend, that's all. You're not wrong."

Tsuzuki Shifune sighed and gently stroked Kasumi's hair. She powerlessly removed the barrier that blocked the other girls. Some of them looked at each other hesitantly, then struggled to pick up their weapons and walked over. Under her calm gaze, they raised their hands and pierced her body.

Thinking that Lisa's hands still needed the Dreamland, Minato Yukina trembled and forced herself to plunge the dagger into Tsuzuki Shifune's chest. The Hikawa sisters hesitated, but soon felt the restlessness of their essence. Fearing the possibility of devouring each other, they also took up the dagger together to cut open the old man's body to protect the Dreamland.

Except for Lenna and her friends, all the bound girls were untied. Tsuzuki Shifune did not resist their actions at all. She allowed herself to be penetrated over and over again. Lenna stared at this scene blankly, her heterochromatic eyes filled with extreme pain and sadness.

When this short yet long assassination was finally over, Tsuzuki Shifune counted all the girls' movements, a total of twenty-three slashes. She knew that they were repeating the harm out of panic... They all knew that it was impossible to really kill her, but they had to do it because of everything they cared about.
