After she finished speaking, deathly silence engulfed everything. Everyone froze in place because of her explanation. After a moment, pain and anger twisted their faces.

"You mean... all this is because of you?"

The man squeezed out a trembling voice, and Xian Juanxin nodded silently with tiredness and guilt.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

"You didn't expect it?! So many people died! All of Tokyo was about to be destroyed, and you tell me you didn't expect it to turn out like this?!"

The man roared and interrupted her. He stared into her eyes, then rushed over madly, grabbed her collar, and shook her body violently.

"Are you going to sing?! Didn't you say you wanted to bring smiles to everyone's faces?! Why are you doing this?! Why?!"

"I'm sorry, but I just wanted to save someone..."

"Just for one person?! All this pain and tragedy, just for one person?!"

The man became more furious because of her answer. He roared and continued to ask questions, while Xian Juanxin nodded subconsciously, at a loss.

"Although I know there are risks, I really don't want to give up on that person... I'm sorry."

"You actually knew the risks and still chose to do this..."

The man was stunned by her answer. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh miserably. He let go of her collar and stumbled back. Then, a blood-stained doll that looked familiar to Xian Juanxin fell out of his pocket, which made her eyes widen.

"This is……"

"You still remember this? That's ridiculous."

The man sneered bitterly, covered his head with tears in his eyes and whispered,

"This is my daughter Dengli. Technically speaking, you gave her to Dengli... You should still remember her, right?"

"Of course I remember... How is she now?"

"...When I found her, only the upper half of her body was left. But even so, she was still clinging to the doll you gave her. Until the very last moment, she believed that a hero would appear to defeat those lunatics."

The man gritted his teeth and spoke slowly, staring at Xin's red eyes full of hatred.

"It was because of your help that I didn't take action directly just now, but asked you first... But I really didn't expect that all this was caused by you, and that you actually killed her."

"She is...dead in the lamp?"

Xian Juanxin looked at him blankly, muttering to herself incomprehensibly. She felt a buzzing in her head. The girl's appearance emerged with her memory, and was stained with blood with the man's words.

No, that's not right. She just wanted to save people at the beginning...why did it turn out like this?

"Yeah! She died because of you, you damn liar!"

"boom!"

The man roared madly, pulled out a dagger and rushed to Xian Juanxin. When his weapon was about to cut her throat, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

"Ahem... go to hell..."

The man's throat was pierced by a bullet, and blood kept gushing out from the wound. He fell to his knees powerlessly. Although he was about to die, he still tried desperately to raise the knife, and kept cursing her in the last moments before his death.

"I'm sorry, I... I'm sorry..."

Xianjuanxin knelt dejectedly on the ground, trembling and crying, and Ozawa Misaki hurriedly stood in front of her. She tried hard to suppress the shock of her first murder, forced herself to control her emotions and raised her gun to point at the crowd.

"Don't act rashly, she didn't mean it, you can't blame her for all this!"

"Who should we blame then?! After all the hard work we've put into this, should we just hate our fate?! Shouldn't she pay the price?!"

But her threat only completely ignited people's anger. Even facing the gun, they no longer cared how many people she would kill. They only wanted the murderer to pay for their pain.

"Damn it! They've lost their minds. Xun, Hanane, take Xin away quickly. Leave this place to..."

"Everyone, calm down!"

Before Misaki could finish her anxious words, Kitazawa Ikumi suddenly rushed out and blocked the front of the crowd. She screamed desperately with tears in her eyes. Many people in the crowd were her neighbors, and their anger was slightly suppressed after recognizing her.

"Yumei! Why are you standing next to that murderer?! Come with us quickly, we want revenge together!"

"Revenge can't bring back the dead! Ikumi is also suffering because of Dengli's death, but even if I kill Xin, nothing can be changed!"

Yumei gritted her teeth and roared desperately, and the crowd was intimidated by her aura. Those who were familiar with her hesitated, causing the entire crowd to stop and move forward.

"Please, everyone, please calm down! At least get to a safe place first, okay? She will be judged, don't kill her like this, okay?"

Seeing that her persuasion was effective, Ikumi approached them and continued to plead. Misaki saw that some people began to waver because of her words, but there were also some people who didn't know her at all, and the hatred on their faces deepened.

"Yumei, come back immediately! You will be in danger!"

After realizing this, Misaki opened her eyes wide and wanted to rush over, but Yumei did not retreat at this moment. Instead, she turned around and smiled at her seriously.

"Don't worry, Misaki, Ikumi believes in them..."

"call out,"

The next second, a crossbow arrow flew out from the crowd and pierced her chest. Yumei was stunned for a moment. She looked down blankly at the rapidly spreading scarlet on her clothes, then looked up at the crowd in confusion. She opened her mouth to say something, but fell heavily to the ground before she could make a sound.

"Ikumi!"

Ozawa Misaki rushed forward with a shrill wail. She trembled and tried to check her injuries. At the same time, she saw the panicked crowd spontaneously retreating, exposing the murderer holding a mechanical crossbow.

"You guy..."

Misaki gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sound, but the man just sneered and turned to shrug at the others.

"I know you can't do it because of her... I've helped you remove the obstacles. Now you can do your best to take revenge."

Then, before Misaki could raise her gun to point at him, he raised his crossbow without hesitation and shot himself in the throat. As his body fell to the ground, Misaki could feel the crowd casting their cold gazes at them once again, and this time there was no hesitation on their faces.

"Wait! At least let me bandage Yumei's first..."

"Kill her!"

Her anxious cry was interrupted by roars, and the next moment the crazy crowd rushed directly towards her. Ozawa Misaki gritted her teeth. Looking at the incalculable scale, she simply gave up shooting and carried Yumei on her back. With her other hand, she pulled up the sluggish Xian Juanxin and ran forward desperately, while also shouting desperately to remind the other two people.

"Kaoru! Kanon! Run!"

Hearing her roar, Xun and Kanon suddenly came to their senses. They hurriedly helped her support Xian Juanxin, holding her hands and running together. In the chaos and hatred, the music still playing on the radio seemed extremely ironic.

"Misaki, let me go. I can calm everyone down..."

While gritting her teeth and fleeing, Misaki could feel herself

Her back was soaked in warm liquid, Yumei's weak voice rang in her ears, and she shook her head vigorously.

"No, they've completely lost their minds. They won't care about what you say. I have to give you first aid first... Damn it, they're going to catch up."

"boom!"

She felt that several people behind her were about to pounce on her, so she turned around and pulled the trigger continuously without hesitation. The falling bodies frightened the crowd for a while, but as she continued to run away, they soon realized that she was alone and continued to chase her with increasing anger.

"But, Misaki, you can't hold on for too long. You'll be caught up. Let me go..."

"Stop talking! You're still bleeding! Damn it! If only we could stop, I could at least give you first aid..."

Misaki sighed deeply, and at the same time raised her gun and shot through a man who was trying to raise his crossbow. She could feel that Ikumi was losing blood rapidly, and if she didn't give him first aid quickly, the consequences would be disastrous... But what she lacked most now was a space of comfort without being disturbed.

"Misaki...Ikumi, will she die?"

Hearing her words, Xian Juanxin couldn't help but open her eyes wide. She panicked and asked subconsciously, while Misaki could only sigh and try her best to comfort her.

"No, I won't let Yumei die. We will be able to get rid of these guys soon. We will have time to give Yumei first aid. Believe me."

"But...what if we don't get rid of them in time?"

"..."

Misaki Ozawa had no way to answer her. She could only grit her teeth, turn around and pull the trigger, once again suppressing the approaching crowd. But everyone knew that if they continued like this, they would not be able to hold on sooner or later.

"...All this is because of me. If I hadn't suggested it then, then Yumei wouldn't have gotten into trouble... I'm sorry."

Genmaki Shin also realized the current situation. She smiled weakly, and Misaki shook her head subconsciously.

"No, it's not your fault, Xin, don't say that..."

"Perhaps, but now I am the only one who can buy you time."

Genmaki Kokoro interrupted her softly, and Misaki was stunned for a moment before suddenly understanding something. She trembled and tried to look at her, but she felt her hand being pulled free by her, and she couldn't help but open her eyes wide in panic.

"Heart! What are you going to do?!"

"I'm sorry, Misaki...but I have to do this. I have to give you time to give Ikumi first aid...Goodbye. Even in death, I will always remember you."

Genmaki Shin smiled and shook her head slightly at her, then turned around and rushed towards the crowd without hesitation. Ozawa Misaki tried desperately to catch her, but because of Ikumi on her back, she couldn't turn around quickly, and her fingertips brushed against Shin's sleeve.

"Heart!!!"

Misaki Ozawa desperately reached out her hand to her back, and she also saw Kokoro's last reluctant look back. She waved to her gently, and then was overwhelmed by the angry crowd, and her limbs and blood flew into the sky.

...This shouldn't have turned out like this. Why?

At this moment, Misaki felt that everything around her began to shatter. Her face twisted and she desperately wanted to raise the muzzle of the gun and point it at the crowd. But before she could do that, she felt the weight on her back suddenly disappear. She turned her head subconsciously in shock and met Ikumi's painful face full of hatred.

"You... actually dare to do this?!"

She roared madly, and with her last bit of strength she jumped off her back, picked up the broken glass on the ground and rushed directly into the crowd. Her neighbors tried to stop her, but she cut their throats with force, and blood splattered all over her body.

"Ikumi! Watch out!"

Seeing that others wanted to attack her, Ozawa Misaki quickly roared to warn them. She gritted her teeth, raised the gun and pulled the trigger desperately. The calculated trajectory of the bullet pierced through the bodies of several people in succession, leaving a space around Ikumi.

"Go to hell! Go to hell! Why did you kill Xinxin?! Why?!"

Kitazawa Ikumi wailed and screamed with tears in her eyes, rushing forward recklessly in coordination with Misaki's firepower. Anyone who wanted to hurt her would be shot through the body by Misaki's bullets. Chaos and blood continued to spread among the crowd, and they began to feel afraid.

"Bang bang bang!"

But what finally broke the situation were several drones that flew over quickly. The revolvers they carried unleashed a powerful burst of fire, and the crowd suddenly burst into shrill screams. They turned around in a panic and tried to escape desperately. Kitazawa Ikumi had completely lost her strength at this time and fell heavily to the ground helplessly.

"Ikumi!"

Misaki crawled over desperately, knelt beside her and checked her wound, but the result made her fall into despair.

Everything that just happened was Yumei's desperate effort. Her intense movement caused the crossbow arrow that had not yet been fired to pierce her heart... He could no longer save her.

"Ikumi... No, it's impossible..."

Misaki wailed and cried, she hugged Ikumi tightly, and now she also weakly opened her eyes and looked at the girl with tears streaming down her face.

"Misaki...don't cry. Ikumi doesn't want to see you cry. We beat the bad guys away, you should be happy..."

"Okay, I won't cry. Yumei, hold on, I will definitely save you..."

"Misaki... How is Xinxin now? Is she safe?"

After panting for a while, Kitazawa Ikumi asked softly in a trance, and Misaki was stunned for a moment and nodded tremblingly, trying to comfort her with all her strength.

"Don't worry, she's fine, Yumei, you saved her... so you have to hold on too, we can't live without you..."

"Really? Is Xinxin okay? That's great... ahem, but I'm afraid Yumei can't stay with you anymore. I'm sorry."

Kitazawa Ikumi, whose face was pale, began to laugh, and her smile made Misaki even more miserable. She shook her head desperately with tears in her eyes.

"Don't say that, Yumei, you will definitely be able to get through it, don't say that, please..."

"Misaki, Ikumi is about to die, but Ikumi will tell you a secret..."

Yumei raised her hand tremblingly and stroked her hair, her movements were extremely gentle.

"Ikumi, actually... I already knew you were Michelle. I'm sorry, but your expression when you have a headache is so funny, so I kept pretending for so long... I'm sorry, but Ikumi really likes you..."

"So, you must help Yumei protect Xinxin and the others. It's a deal."

"Okay, Yumei, as long as you can stay, I can agree to anything you want. So, please, don't die..."

"..."

Misaki sobbed and wailed, she hugged Ikumi tightly with tears, but there was no response after her pleading. At this moment, she suddenly realized something, and felt that the blood in her body was solidifying into ice crystals bit by bit, but in despair, she still squeezed out a sound with the last bit of luck.

"Ikumi?"

"..."

Misaki Ozawa was unwilling to let her go, and she was afraid to let her go. She tried desperately to escape from it all, but she knew that she had to face it all.

It was not until Yumei's body gradually turned cold that she numbly let go of her. She staggered to her feet from the ground, looked up at the front with a distorted face, and screamed with gritted teeth while rushing forward madly and desperately.

"You bastards aa ...

"Misaki! Misaki!"

She ignored the urgent calls behind her and just quickened her pace. She swore that she would catch up with those people, she would take revenge on all of them, and she would never let any of them go.
