mygo, but Cthulhu

Shoko Toyokawa crawled over and instinctively rushed over to pick up the phone. She was relieved when she confirmed that Ruomai's data had not suffered irreversible damage. Then she suddenly came to her senses and realized what she had just done. She couldn't help but tremble. She looked at Li Xi, who was covered in blood, with worry and panic, and her anxious voice was full of tears.

"Lixi, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that. Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, but you have to give me your phone, Xiangzi. Her voice suddenly changed just now. It's obvious that she is deliberately deceiving you. She is definitely not Yutenji Wakami."

Due to the nature of Tindalos's hybrids, Lixi's body recovered completely very quickly. She got up from the ground and calmly reached out to Xiangzi. The girl subconsciously clenched her cell phone after breathing a sigh of relief, feeling the AI ​​inside that was trying to break free from Lixi's spell.

She could see the familiar purple-haired girl through the perspective of energy. Her body was made up of changing numbers. Even though she was almost wiped out just now, there was no fear on her face. Instead, she looked up calmly and met her gaze.

"Xiangzi, do you want to hand me over?"

"...Do you want me to do this?"

"No, the memory of my death is still clear. I still remember how I was swallowed by the darkness bit by bit... It was lonely and painful."

The AI ​​girl answered without hesitation, and after a moment of hesitation, Shoko Toyokawa clenched her teeth. She took a deep breath, held the phone in her arms, and then shook her head firmly at Li Xi.

"I won't hand her over to you. She is Ruomai to me. She died saving me before, and now I must protect her."

"Do you know what you're saying, Xiangzi? She even said that the light is a dangerous factor, and you still regard her as your friend?"

Li Xi was stunned for a moment and then frowned, while Toyokawa Shoko just held the phone silently. Chuhua Yumu stood beside her without hesitation at this time, and she turned her gaze to the hesitant Hailing.

"Hailing, I understand how you feel. If you're unwilling to help us, I can accept that... I only beg you not to be hostile to us."

“…before we

We were fighting side by side, and now it has become like this. It's really ridiculous."

After a moment of silence, Hailing sighed tiredly. Lixi was about to speak, but she turned around and looked at her first, with a very complicated tone.

"Lixi, Xiangzi seems determined to protect Ruomai at all costs. How about you take a step back now? At least this way the conflict won't escalate further."

"I insist that the AI ​​is not Ruomai. Since Xiangzi has fallen so deeply, I must not let it continue to deceive her."

Li Xi frowned and answered softly, and Hai Ling also sighed. She closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened her eyes, her expression became cold.

"Really? Then I'm sorry, I still choose to stand on the side of my band... I promised them that no matter what happens, I am birds of a feather with them, a selfish accomplice... Xiangzi insists that this AI is Ruomai, so I can't let you kill it. This is my bottom line."

“…That’s really unfortunate,”

Li Xi was stunned for a moment and then sighed tiredly. Aine and Lenai stood beside her without hesitation. Su Shi looked up at Xiangzi with a determined expression and could only sigh and also chose mygo.

Takamatsu Deng once again stood between Mujica and Mygo, and she was looking at all this in a daze. She wanted to speak to Li Xi and Xiangzi tremblingly, but the determination on their faces was like hot coals, making her hesitant voice stuck in her throat and unable to come out.

They all have their own answers, but what about you? Takamatsu Deng? You don't even know how to stop this. Your very existence is built on the deaths of countless people. What right do you have to speak now?

A sarcastic voice lingered in her ears, and Deng covered her ears in pain. She completely lost the strength to support her body and fell heavily to the ground. Before she fell into a coma, she could only mutter to herself in tears.

"I'm sorry, Xiangzi, I'm sorry, Lixi, I can't decide..."

"lamp!"

When Xiangzi, Lixi and the others saw her condition, they rushed to her side. After confirming that she was unconscious just because of losing control of her emotions, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, Xiangzi and Lixi completely lost their last concern. They turned to look at each other with only cold determination in their eyes.

After placing the lamp in a safe place and setting up many barriers, Mujica and Mygo returned to the open space and began to confront each other. Li Xi looked at Xiangzi in front of him, sighed, and spoke softly in his last attempt.

"Xiangzi, as long as you hand over this AI to me, we won't have to fight. Do you really want to insist on doing this?"

"I can't let you kill her, Lixi. I can't lose her a second time. Mujica finally completed it with great difficulty, and I won't let it be destroyed again."

Toyokawa Shoko responded softly without wavering, and Riki could only shake his head after looking at her for a moment.

"Well... since you insist on sinking into illusions, I can only defeat you first, and then destroy this abominable AI who calls himself Yutenji Wakamu... I'm sorry, Xiangzi, I know you will hate me, but I have to do this."

Chapter 297 Fighting

As soon as she finished speaking, a swarm of rats suddenly gathered in the air and pounced on Shiina Ritsuki. She easily cut them apart with her spatial ability. After the dirty blood fell, she saw Wakaba Mutsu raising his hand towards her from a distance.

"call out,"

The chaotic spell lights entangled and flew towards Li Xi at a high speed. She subconsciously dodged them, and they instantly turned and hit Aiyin who was preparing to charge forward. Although they did not break through her hard skin, they still made her stumble.

The next moment, the bullet flashing with lightning flew in front of Aine. She frowned and subconsciously grasped it, but the power in the bullet exploded directly. The lightning penetrated her palm and entered her eyes, temporarily taking away her vision in severe pain.

While Aiyin's eyes were healing quickly, Chuhua raised her hand to gather more mice, but Sushi calmly gathered her magic power first. She used the curse to scratch her neck hard. The next second, Chuhua felt a strong pain. Her neck suddenly became numb and blood sprayed on her body.

Chu Hua was stunned for a moment, then she realized that her throat had been cut. She trembled and subconsciously wanted to use magic to heal herself, but at this time Li Xi's space ripples had appeared around her.

"boom,"

Hailing gritted her teeth and pulled the trigger at Lixi's shoulder, and the black-haired girl had to give up targeting Chuhua and dodged. The latter's throat healed quickly under the effect of the spell. At the same time, she sneered and summoned the rat tide again to sweep towards Su Shi.

"Meow meow!"

Lenai clenched her fists tightly, and at the same time, a group of transparent phantom cats gathered in front of the rat tide. They screamed and pounced on the rat tide. The rats who sensed the breath of Buster on them suddenly fell into panic. They forcibly broke free from Chuhua's control and ran away, making the blonde girl grit her teeth in annoyance.

"Get back here! You guys!"

"I'm afraid they won't listen to you for a while, Triangle Chuhua."

Following a calm voice, Aiyin appeared in front of her, pushing through the air with terrifying force. Chuhua's pupils contracted instantly, and she subconsciously wanted to step back, but her throat had already been tightly pinched by Aiyin's hand.

"Cough cough cough..."

Chuhua struggled desperately because of suffocation, and Aine lifted her up and was about to threaten the other people in Mujica, but the next second she was surprised to see Chuhua pointing the gun at herself, pulling the trigger hard and shooting through her throat.

"Chuhua!"

Toyokawa Shoko opened her eyes wide and screamed in pain, and the scene suddenly fell into silence. Aine was a little at a loss for a moment, and when she subconsciously let go of her hand, she saw a mouse suddenly fall dead, and there was a bullet hole on its neck.

Aiyin suddenly realized something at this moment. She suddenly looked up at Chuhua, but was facing the gun muzzle of the smiling blonde girl. The wound on her neck had disappeared, and she shrugged lightly at Aiyin.

“Next time, make sure your enemy is completely dead, Aine.”

"boom,"

The bullet was fired from the gun, and at such a short distance, Aine had no time to dodge. She subconsciously closed her eyes. As the bullet hit her eyelids and shattered, she was completely swallowed up by the sudden swarm of rats. Although she easily tore a large number of rats into pieces, the thousands of curses they carried also rushed into her body, making her mind dizzy.

The spatial ripples enveloped her and quickly transferred her to Riki's side. The girl subconsciously wanted to ask about her condition, but at the same time, she saw the silver light rushing towards her like a waterfall, and hurriedly pulled Aine to dodge again.

However, with such a hasty flash, the location where she would reappear was also easy to predict. As soon as Li Xi appeared, her body was torn apart by the magic wave released by Ruo Yemu. The severe pain made her fall heavily to the ground. She subconsciously wanted to support her body, but found that her hands were missing.

"Lixi!"

Su Shi hurriedly wanted to go over to help her, but was hindered for a moment by Hai Ling's continuous bullets. Chu Hua raised his hand to release the spell again, but the spell light was blocked by the pink-haired girl's body. She locked onto the triangular Chu Hua indifferently, and the latter instantly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly tried to dodge sideways.

"boom!"

Aine's body exploded out like a cannonball, and Sankaku Hatsuka felt herself being grabbed tightly by two unshakable hands in an instant.

Then, he was crushed by the terrifying impact force and crashed through many walls. If Aiyin had not slowed down at the last moment, even if hundreds of mice had died in his place, Chuhua's brain would definitely have been completely shattered.

"Cough cough cough..."

Sanjiao Chuhua coughed up blood in pain, and Aiyin tore off her two arms with an expressionless face, completely ignoring her spasms and tremors. Just as she was about to tear off Chuhua's two legs, she caught a glimpse of a boiling silver light from the corner of her eye.

"Let Chuhua go!"

Following Toyokawa Shoko's angry roar, Aine found that her body suddenly became much heavier. She had no time to dodge and could only subconsciously open her eyes wide. Then she was completely swallowed by the silver light. Her extremely strong flesh and blood could not resist the torrent of energy and was quickly torn and crushed. Severe pain spread throughout her body.

By the time the silver light finally disappeared, Chihaya Aine's body was almost completely shattered. She was trembling and gasping for breath, raising her hands to hold her head to prevent it from falling from her almost broken neck. As the wound slowly healed, she struggled to get up from the ground bit by bit.

“Aine!”

Seeing her appearance, Lixi quickly flashed to her side. She used all her strength to release magic to fight against the silver light remaining in Aiyin's wound. At the same time, the triangular Chuhua covered in blood was also teleported into Xiangzi's arms. She looked at Lixi and the others with a complicated look, hugged Chuhua tightly, turned around and ran forward. Lixi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sigh. She looked at Aiyin's injuries silently and did not choose to continue chasing her.

At this moment, Hailing couldn't help but look back at Lixi hesitantly. She pursed her lips and made an apology to Lixi, then hurriedly caught up with Xiangzi and the others, while Lixi watched them go away in silence.

"Ahem... I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you could have stopped them."

As her throat healed, Aine coughed up blood and spoke softly, and Riki shook his head, patting her shoulder comfortingly.

"Don't say that. You're more important to us. We can't abandon you and recklessly destroy that AI... And Xiangzi went to war with us to protect the AI. It's unlikely that we can kill it easily. We can only find another opportunity later."

"Li Xi...are we pushing it too far? Even if that AI isn't Yutenji Wakamaki to us, as long as Xiangzi treats her as Wakamaki, that's fine, right? Do we really need to break off with Xiangzi and the others like this?"

After heaving a sigh of relief after confirming that Aine was fine, Su Shi couldn't help but turn to look at Riki and asked softly. The girl was silent for a moment and then sighed.

"...I'm sorry, this is indeed my fault. I didn't expect Xiangzi to care so much about it. After hearing it dare to say that about the lamp, I couldn't help but want to destroy it directly... If I had been calmer, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

"Don't say that, Rikki. Even that AI can say such things, and Xiangzi is still so stubborn. The problem is definitely not with you, and Deng will definitely not punish you... Wait, where is Deng?!"

Aiyin whispered soothing words while turning her gaze towards where the lamp was. However, she saw that the barrier had been torn apart at some point, and there was no one where the lamp had been. Her eyes widened and she quickly got up and rushed over.

Aine looked around anxiously, but she didn't see the familiar gray-haired girl. Instead, she saw a piece of paper pressed by a pen, with tear marks and trembling painful words on it.

[…I’m sorry, everyone. This is all my fault… Ruomai is right. I am indeed an unstable and dangerous factor. Xiangzi didn’t save over a million people because of me. It’s also because of me that we have this level of conflict… I’m sorry.]

I want to become a monster with everyone, but why, after going through so much together, do we still quarrel and fight? I don't understand, I don't know what to do, and I can't stop it all... I'm sorry, I don't think someone like me is qualified to start a new life... Please leave Japan, I just want to stay here, because there are people everywhere who I owe, and I want to do my best to help them. This is all I can do.

Please don't come looking for me anymore. Forget me, everyone. I believe you can get rid of all this and get back to your peaceful daily life... I wish you happiness.

Chapter 298 Rescue and Sacrifice

"The child named Deng can't bear it anymore."

Looking at the mygo members who were running away in panic to look for the light not far away, Xianjuanxin spoke calmly and softly, and Misaki nodded silently. After the silence lasted for a long time, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her.

"Xin, haven't we already dealt with the Toyokawa family? Why aren't we leaving yet?"

"We still need to wait a while."

"wait for what?"

As Misaki asked subconsciously, she suddenly saw a group of butlers from the Sanzono family pouring out from the alleys with guns. She subconsciously tightened her rifle in alertness, while Genmaki Shin smiled at her reassuringly.

"Don't worry, Misaki. Mr. Misono has no intention of being hostile to us. On the contrary, he really wants to cooperate with us... Am I right, Mr. Misono?"

She looked up with a smile at the man who was walking slowly towards her, and the latter met her gaze with interest. After looking at her for a moment, he suddenly smiled with emotion.

"That's really good, Xin. You're really different now. You even remind me of the old An... You knew I'd come over to get these forbidden books, right? The reason you didn't leave right away was because you wanted to share a piece of the pie with me, right?"

"It's you who wants to share a piece of our pie, Mr. Sanyuan. If I wanted these books, I could have just taken them and left. There's no need to wait for you here."

Xian Juanxin shook her head slightly,

"Now, we control this church. We can also set fire to the basement and completely destroy it at any time. What price are you willing to pay to get these books from us?"

"Oh, from what you said, I'm afraid money alone can't satisfy you?"

"Don't fool me, Mr. Sanyuan. Money means nothing to us. If you want this forbidden knowledge, you need to exchange it with something valuable. You should know this."

Xianjuanxin looked at him calmly, and Sanyuan Duguang sighed after hesitating for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Okay, this time I have a favor to ask of you. What do you want?"

"Agents from various countries have died here. Once they recover, they will definitely consider sending troops directly here. I need you to calm them down and send a representative to talk to me first."

Xian Juanxin raised his hand to gesture towards the scattered pieces of meat not far away, while Sanyuan Duguang also frowned.

"You want to negotiate with them? I don't need to remind you that even the Xianjuan Group can't appease them in this situation, right?"

"You don't need to worry about this. I just need you to create this opportunity for me... How about it, are you willing to agree?"

"This is also quite difficult for me, and I'm afraid it will cost a lot... Never mind, those books are very important to me. I agree to your request."

After thinking for a while, Mizono Watari nodded slightly, and Xianjuan Xin also smiled at this time. She nodded to Misaki and others, glanced at Charlotte beside him, and turned to leave. At the same time, Charlotte's mind suddenly rang

Her calm voice.

"Xia Li, Tsuzuki Shifune left an unactivated fire spell in the basement. I don't think it would be a good thing for your father to get hold of these books... But he's your father, so I'll give you the choice. As long as you activate it, those books will be destroyed."

Hearing this suddenly, Charlotte couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She quickly turned her head to look at Xin's back, but the girl's footsteps did not hesitate at all. She quickly disappeared from Charlotte's sight, as if she had never left her this message at all.

"Father……"

Charlotte couldn't help but hesitate at this moment. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Sanyuan Duguang, but saw that his face was full of suppressed excitement and joy. He ignored her and walked quickly into the church. He couldn't wait to open the basement, but unexpectedly found that it had been locked by a special spell. Forcing it open might risk damaging the books.

"Ms. Marina, I know you can't cast spells now, but you must still have the enchanted key to unlock it, right? Tell me where you hid it."

He shrugged and turned his gaze to Marina on the ground with a forced smile. The latter also looked up at him with difficulty and tried to squeeze out a trembling voice.

"Mr. Mizono, these books contain extremely dangerous knowledge. They were deliberately preserved by Lady Tsuzuki. Back then, they still held various unstable powers. She carefully cleared them away over many years, and only recently were they finally able to be burned without incident... What do you want to do with them?"

"Need I say more? Of course, I will use this knowledge to surpass humans and become a new, higher species."

Mizono Watari looked down at her with a sneer, and as Marina opened her eyes wide and tried to persuade him, he kicked her wound hard, causing her weak body to tremble and her voice to get stuck in her throat.

"I know what you want to say, Tsukishima Marina. Even though Tsuzuki Shifune is dead, you and Rinrinko are still clinging to her ridiculous ideals... But I'm not interested in listening to your nonsense right now. In the past, you represented Tsuzuki Shifune, but now you're nothing but a dying wretch."

Mizono Tokou leaned over, grabbed her hair, lifted her head up roughly, and stared into Marina's eyes that were filled with tears of pain.

"You'd better tell me where the key is, or I'll make you feel unimaginable pain. I promise I'm not kidding."

"Father……"

Seeing Marina's painful expression, Charlotte couldn't help but speak in a low voice. The man looked back at her expressionlessly and waved his hand vigorously.
