mygo, but Cthulhu

"Ahhhh!"

And the next moment, with two hysterical voices, Aiyin suddenly saw the butterfly and the spider entangled with each other and falling towards Lixi. She curled the corners of her mouth and prepared to locate her position after the flash, but the next moment she saw He Fang nodded to her lightly, raised her hand and let the talisman temporarily suppress Lixi who wanted to dodge.

"It's been dragging on for too long, Miss Chihaya. It's time to kill one of your teammates first. I think you would be happy to..."

"Tear,"

He Fang's voice was suddenly interrupted by the sound of flesh being torn apart. He looked down at the hand extending from his chest in surprise, then turned to look at Aiyin with a puzzled look.

"Even if you're infected with the Blood Cross, you should understand that killing me now would do more harm than good, right?"

"So what? Who gave you permission to kill Rikki? She's mine, she and everyone else is mine, understand?"

Aiyin responded to his question with a sneer, and at the same time casually waved her hand to smash all the members of the Swollen Women's Society who rushed over. The woman with the fan frowned and wanted to cast a spell, but she also saw Su Shi and the others rushing over here. After thinking for a while, she shrugged.

"Yoshiko, it looks like this is the end for you... To be honest, this is more hasty than I thought."

"Yeah, that's probably it. Everyone has their own destiny, and mine has never been valuable... Aunt, please take the rest of the people and leave first. At least let them enjoy themselves a little longer..."

Before He Fang could finish her words, her body was torn apart by Aiyin. Amidst the splattering blood, the woman looked at her deeply and disappeared along with the other members of the Swollen Women's Society. When Aiyin wanted to turn around and look at Lixi with satisfaction, the space around her was instantly locked, and even with her strength she couldn't break free immediately.

"Rikki! You're so ungrateful!"

Aine was stunned for a moment, then she gritted her teeth and roared as she reacted, trying to struggle, but the next moment the flowing colors also pressed down on her. Deng stared at her seriously, raised his hand, and let the energy penetrate into her body, weakening her ability.

"Xiao Ai, I'm sorry, but please calm down for a moment. I know you're not the real you now... We need to bring the real you back."

"Huh? Please, don't do this, tomorin! I'm perfectly sane! I just wanted you to feel this..."

"Really, Xiao Ai wouldn't force us to accept something like this while claiming to be sober!"

Deng interrupted her with a suddenly raised voice and continued to output energy to suppress Aine. At the same time, she also noticed Aine's physical condition and slightly widened her eyes as if she had discovered something.

"Xiao Ai, why are you..."

"Su Shi, please help suppress her. I will start to remove the pollution from her body now!"

Li Xi's urgent voice suddenly rang out, and Deng was stunned for a moment before quickly putting aside her confused and hesitant emotions. She concentrated on suppressing Aine with Su Shi, and amidst her screams and curses, Li Xi calmly raised his hand and began to construct a complex magic circle, making it appear under Aine's feet.

"Stop it! Rikki! Tomorin! Soyorin! Do you know what you are doing?! I can make you all feel this kind of happiness, stop! Stop..."

Deng closed her eyes tightly, not wanting to see Aine's twisted and angry face. Aine's hysterical voice suddenly stopped after a moment, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the pink-haired girl's head tilted to one side and she fell into a coma.

"Alright...I've removed all the contamination from her body. She should be the normal Aine when she wakes up."

Li Xi exhaled slowly and spoke softly with some fatigue, and Deng suddenly relaxed at this time, feeling only sincere relief and exhaustion.

They finally survived the disaster. Although Ruomai died, the rest of the people are still alive. Deng sincerely hopes that this chaos will be the last one... although she knows that this is probably unlikely.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

With a shrill wail, Yamabuki Saya's body was completely crushed by the broken butterfly. Her upper body fell off the spider's body and fell in a pool of her own blood.

The severe pain brought about constant nausea, but the feeling of being on the verge of death also made Sa Ling regain consciousness a little. She recalled everything that had just happened and was sincerely glad to find that she did not hurt Kasumi, but instead protected them... This was really great.

"Saiya!"

"Don't come over here! Kasumi, there's my blood everywhere... Don't come over here, please."

Seeing her miserable appearance, Toyama Kasumi subconsciously wanted to rush over, but Sa Ling's urgent roar made her stop. The girl in the pool of blood turned her head tremblingly to look at her, with a crazy smile on her face.

, but the expression of pain and reluctance was still mixed in, faint but extremely obvious.

"Kasumi...promise me not to be sad for me, take Duohui and leave Japan to a safer place. As long as you can live safely, it will be the greatest comfort to me."

"Sa Ling..."

Toyama Kasumi trembled and subconsciously reached out her hand to her, and Saaya also struggled to raise her broken arm, forcibly suppressing her madness and showing her a gentle smile.

"Goodbye, Kasumi... Thank you for everything you have done for me."

"boom!"

The next second, Yamabuki Saya was smashed into a pulp by the butterfly monster in front of her eyes. Toyama Kasumi opened her eyes wide, and her sister worriedly grabbed her hand, fearing that she would run over recklessly and get hurt.

"elder sister……"

"Sa Ling... she also died. She also died protecting us..."

Toyama Kasumi knelt weakly on the ground. Instead of pain, her heart was filled with confusion and emptiness. After going through so much, she no longer had the strength to cry. She could only stare at the ground, feeling the heaviness and dizziness in her head.

...I'm afraid all she can do is to fulfill Sha Ling's last wish?

"Finally...finally I've cleared the obstacle. Now I can continue flying."

At this time, Kurata Mashiro, whose body was covered in blood, also laughed softly. Because she was a Migo aggregate, she would not be infected. She just kept repairing the body of the butterfly monster and wanted to fly into the sky again.

She didn't care what would happen if she stayed here. Tsukushi's last words were still the only thing in her mind. She poured all her pain and sorrow into them. She...

"Run away, Mashiro."

A familiar, urgent voice suddenly rang in her ears. She subconsciously turned her head and met Qi Shen's anxious face. She tilted her head slightly, not understanding.

"Nanafuka, what are you talking about? I still need to continue flying with Tsukushi... How about you and the others joining me? How about that?"

"...Tsukushi is already dead, and she definitely wants you to live more than this so-called flying. Do you want to go against her wishes?"

Hiromachi Nanami was silent for a moment, then realized Mashiro's current mental state. She looked at the emotion full of false hope, gritted her teeth and spoke coldly.

"Tsukushi is dead? How is that possible? Nanami, you really…"

"No matter how painful it is, we must accept reality. It is certainly satisfying to indulge in dreams, but none of them are real."

Qi Shen suddenly grabbed her shoulders and stared into her eyes.

"Kurata Mashiro, as long as you still think you are Kurata Mashiro, then you must face all of this. You have no right to escape, because we have agreed to face it together with you, do you understand?!"

"..."

Mashiro stared at her blankly, and then her head suddenly ached. She trembled and looked down at the broken body in her arms. He hugged her tightly in pain, his voice full of sobs.

"I...I understand. I'm sorry, Nanami, I'm sorry, Tsukushi...I will definitely persevere...I won't run away anymore."

Yes, Tsukushi certainly doesn't want to fall into this illusion... She is already Kurata Mashiro, she must not let Tsukushi down.

"Light, intercept them!"

At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko's angry voice suddenly sounded, bringing Mashiro's consciousness back to reality. She was stunned for a moment and saw that the blue-haired girl was desperately releasing silver light to cover this side, but because she still had to maintain the high wall, she had no time to stop Qi Shen's teleportation spell.

At this moment, Hachiman Kairei calmly raised her gun, and Mashiro subconsciously condensed countless shields to block her bullets. The teleportation spell was about to be completed, and now only Deng, who was the Star Color, could stop them in time.

"I'm sorry, Kurata-senpai..."

The gray-haired girl looked up and met Mashiro's pleading gaze. She couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but when she saw Xiangzi's face distorted with hatred, she sighed silently and raised her hand to cooperate with her to stop Kurata Mashiro and the others from escaping.

Due to Toyokawa Shoko's uncontrolled rage, her power had become somewhat unstable. When the flowing colors came into contact with the silver light, Deng saw Shoko's recent memories for a moment. These memories were filled with the depression and pain that made her sad, as well as what Aine had confided to Shoko when she was about to fall into madness...

What does it mean?

Takamatsu Deng opened her eyes blankly, and all the colors froze for a moment because of her distraction. Hiromachi Nanami seized this opportunity and quickly used the Blood of Ig to speed up the spell, so that Toyokawa Shoko, who was unable to catch up in time, could only watch them disappear.

"Don't run!"

She roared furiously, and the silver light hit them as fast as possible, but in the end it still failed to stop the spell, and the next moment they disappeared, it hit the ground hard.

"boom!"

The sky was filled with concrete fragments like a rainstorm, and a huge pothole appeared in the area. Seeing that she had failed to get revenge, Shoko Toyokawa fell to her knees powerlessly and pounded the ground hard, tears of unwillingness falling to the ground.

"Damn it... why is it still too late? I should have been able to keep them. I was just one step away from avenging Ruomai! Damn it!"

"Xiangzi..."

The next moment, Toyokawa Shoko heard the familiar sound of a light coming from the front, but she was so out of control that she didn't notice the abnormality in her tone. She stood up suddenly in anger and incomprehension, grabbing her shoulders hard.

"Deng! Why did you hesitate just now?! They killed Ruomai! Why didn't you stop them from escaping?!"

"..."

Takamatsu Deng lowered her head silently and did not speak for a while. Toyokawa Shoko was stunned by her unexpected reaction. At this time, Li Xi saw this scene, frowned, walked over quickly, and grabbed Shoko's arm.

"Xiangzi, you shouldn't talk to the lamp like that."

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

"Then, Xiangzi, why didn't you stop those blood crosses?"

Shoko Toyokawa subconsciously wanted to apologize, but just as she opened her mouth, Deng suddenly looked up at her, his eyes filled with empty pain.

"..."

At this moment, Shoko Toyokawa was stunned. She never thought that the Lantern Festival would suddenly say this. After a moment of hesitation, she tried her best to hide the strangeness of her expression and forced a smile.

"Deng, what are you talking about? I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have yelled at you... But wasn't I the one who was trying to stop the Blood Cross the entire time? After Senior Glacier couldn't free himself, I was the one who continued to hold up the high wall over there."

"Yes...that's exactly what happened."

Gao Songdeng began to tremble, gritting her teeth and squeezing out little by little. At this moment, anyone could see that something was wrong with her. Li Xi wanted to ask, but Deng grabbed Xiangzi's hand first and roared in pain and anger.

"But, Xiangzi, you had the chance to stop those lunatics from leaving that street, didn't you?! The virus wouldn't have spread so badly, right?! You had time to isolate them, didn't you?!"

"..."

Under her questioning, Toyokawa Shoko stayed where she was. The last bit of hope in her heart was shattered, and she couldn't help but lower her head deeply. Seeing her reaction, Li Xi frowned and continued to ask.

"Xiangzi, is what Deng said true?"

"...Deng is right. I did have a chance to stop those blood crosses. The reason why the infection

I deliberately allowed the disease to spread so badly."

After a moment's silence, Toyokawa Shoko nodded tiredly, and except for Deng, whose expression became increasingly painful, everyone else opened their eyes blankly and looked at her in disbelief.

"Xiangzi... why is this happening? Because of the spread of the virus, countless innocent people have died in extreme pain, and the casualties must have been numbers we can hardly imagine... You should have considered the consequences at the time, right?"

After a moment, Nagasaki Suyo was the first to react. She couldn't understand the question asked subconsciously, and Toyokawa Shoko didn't know what to say for a moment. She hesitated for a moment, and the next moment she heard Deng's pale and trembling voice.

"Because I... I just learned this through contact with Xiangzi's power. Because I am the Star Color, my consciousness has always needed vitality and emotions to maintain, and Xiao Ai has been helping me... Before, I thought this kind of absorption would not affect her... But I was wrong."

"I destroyed Xiao Ai's body's stability, which is why she can't be completely immune to the virus. The reason she's become increasingly apathetic recently isn't because of these events, but because of my drug use."

The more Takamatsu Deng spoke, the more violently her body trembled. Her tears slowly slid down her face, and her eyes as she looked at Toyokawa Shoko were filled with incomprehensible sadness.

"When Xiao Ai was about to go crazy, she told Xiangzi what she had been hiding. Xiangzi knew that she couldn't go on like this, but it would be difficult for her to solve my problem... unless she collected a large number of soul crystals, which would require a terrifying amount of casualties."

"That is to say..."

Li Xi realized something and subconsciously turned to look at Xiangzi, but the blue-haired girl just lowered her head silently. Her hands were desperately clutching the corners of her clothes. Because of panic and helplessness, her fingertips were so tense that they turned white.

"In other words, Xiangzi didn't stop those blood crosses, and deliberately allowed all this tragic situation to happen... In this way, she could help me collect enough soul crystals, so that I could continue to live."

The sound of the lamp was extremely hollow. She stared at Xiangzi in a daze. At this moment, she felt that the blue-haired girl she should have been familiar with suddenly became extremely strange, so strange that she could not bear it.

She walked up and gently held Xiangzi's head, looking into her tearful eyes. After a while, she suddenly looked at the burning buildings around her and spoke softly as if muttering to herself.

"Xiangzi, did you hear that? Even now, the screams and laughter haven't stopped. Those lunatics have been completely twisted by the virus. They've killed countless people, even their own relatives. They wouldn't hesitate to torture and kill them."

"Ever since the virus started spreading, I've actually been enduring these horrible noises. I really wanted to hide, curl up in a corner and cry... But I couldn't do that because I had to protect everyone, and I wanted to protect you too. I desperately mustered up the courage to do this and have persisted until now."

"But... I suddenly don't seem to recognize you, Xiangzi. You could have avoided all this, you could have avoided so much pain and death, but you didn't do it... Why?"

"Deng... I'm sorry, but, but I really don't have any other options. The power I can use is not enough. I can't eliminate your needs for the time being. I can only..."

"No,"

Toyokawa Shoko tried to explain anxiously, but Deng suddenly spoke softly, interrupting her.

"Xiangzi, this area originally had a total of 1.73 million people... What I want to ask is, why do you think I am more important than so many lives?"

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa began to tremble. She understood the reason for Deng's pain, but she suddenly realized that she could not tell him the answer directly, otherwise Deng would be even more unbearable.

"lamp……"

"Xiangzi, why do you think I am more important than so many people?"

The light stared at her, and Xiangzi clenched his teeth. She subconsciously looked around for help, but everyone else's mood was equally heavy and complicated. They shook their heads slightly at her, indicating that it might be difficult for them to join the conversation now.

"Answer me, Xiangzi...why is this?"

"Isn't this a matter of course?!"

Under Deng's persistent questioning again, Xiangzi finally couldn't bear the pain and pressure anymore. She clenched her fists and raised her voice suddenly, looking up with a distorted face to meet Deng's gaze, and the girl also opened her eyes blankly at this time.

"Of course... of course?"

"Yes! Deng, you are my important friend. You need a large number of soul crystals, so even if so many people have to die, there is nothing we can do about it, right?!"
