mygo, but Cthulhu

"Prepare to use rubber bullets..."

"and many more!"

The next moment, a familiar yet unexpected voice suddenly rang out. Misaki was stunned for a moment and quickly turned around to see Kanon and Kaoru stumbling over with anxious faces. They quickly stood between the students and the army, causing the movements of both sides to pause at the same time.

"Kane? Xun? What are you doing here? Leave quickly, it's dangerous here..."

"But everyone clearly wants to make this better, so why are they conflicting with each other? Misaki, I don't understand!"

Kanon cried out in response with tears in her eyes, and when Misaki didn't know what to say, she quickly turned to look at her classmates and held out her hand to them seriously and earnestly.

"Everyone, please calm down! Xin has no choice but to do this. All the countries are eyeing us covetously. If Xin hadn't proposed this plan, this place would have fallen into war long ago!"

"I'm also Qing Peng's student, and I understand your anger. But Xin isn't who you think she is. She's doing this because she wants to help more people. Have you forgotten that it was the food she distributed during the emergency that prevented Tokyo from falling into chaos again?"

"I know her. She is indeed our classmate...what she said seems to make sense?"

"Don't say that! It's just a small favor. Do you really agree with this nonsense about corporate rule?!"

Many people recognized Kanon and hesitated, and the crowd began to split and quarrel. Ozawa Misaki seized this opportunity and walked forward eagerly to speak to Kanon and Kaoru.

"Hana, Xun, why did you come here so suddenly? Do you know how dangerous this is? If they had rushed over just now, do you know what would have happened?"

"Misaki, we know the risks involved, but we can't just watch this happen, right?"

Seta Kaoru sighed and shook his head seriously at her.

"They don't understand what's happening. They only know that Japan has suddenly become what it is now, that the government is ruined, and that the Genjutsu Group has suddenly proposed this unimaginable plan... It's natural for them to be angry, and we don't want you to conflict with them, because no one is at fault."

"Even so, you shouldn't..."

Misaki Ozawa wanted to say something, but at this moment she suddenly noticed a figure walking up to the platform of the teaching building and directly raised something black and pointed it at here.

"Everyone get down!"

She screamed out subconsciously and threw Hanane and Xun to the ground as quickly as possible. At the same time, she felt a sudden numbness on her back, and then the sound of a gunshot and severe pain appeared together, making her face distorted.

"What's going on?! Where's the gunshot?!"

"It must be Xian Juanxin's lackeys who opened fire. I knew they were not good people. Let's charge together!"

The crowd became increasingly chaotic, and as one of them erupted in anger, all the students subconsciously rushed towards the army. Misaki had just gotten up from the ground and shot the sniper dead. Seeing that the crowd was impossible to appease, she couldn't help but sigh, ignored the pain in her back, picked up another submachine gun, and pulled the trigger while shouting loudly.

"Everyone fire immediately!"

"Bang bang bang,"

Rubber bullets burst out and the students rushing in the front were immediately knocked to the ground. They were swallowed up by the crowd before they could scream. Even though many people began to run away in fear because of their shooting, the students behind them who didn't know what was happening kept pushing them, causing them to be hit one after another and fall to the ground wailing.

However, there were too many students. Even though more than half of them were knocked down by rubber bullets, the remaining students still rushed over angrily. They swung steel pipes at the girls in military uniforms, but they were easily blocked by the explosion-proof shields. Then they were hit hard on the head by batons and fell heavily to the ground with blood coming out of their heads.

"It's so infuriating! He was clearly a sniper from the Sanyuan Group, yet you're trying to put the blame on us? You didn't even realize they were using you, and yet you're still shouting for justice!"

Misaki cursed with lingering fear as she picked up her baton and hit a student who was rushing towards her. The powerful force sent her flying, knocking down a group of students, and more people began to surround her from all directions.

"Misaki-senpai!"

The other girls hurried to provide support, and Ozawa Misaki sighed at this time, her expression turning cold. She looked around at the students rushing towards her, gripped her baton tightly, and faced forward directly.

First, she easily blocked the swinging steel pipe, and then turned around and knocked down the person who attempted to launch a sneak attack. The two sides had no tacit cooperation at all. She stepped back a little and was bumped into by them, and was knocked unconscious.

She dealt with them swiftly.

At the same time, the students around were knocked to the ground by the girls from Hanasakigawa. She checked and arrested the people on the list and detained them on the military vehicle, then waved to her subordinates with an expressionless face.

"Someone from the Sanyuan Group has already infiltrated. Next, be careful to identify students and enemies. Keep an eye out for corners and possible ambush points. We cannot let our guard down until all the militants from the Sanyuan Group are killed."

Chapter 307 Quarrel

"Did Deng really leave?"

After a long silence, Su Shi spoke first with a trembling voice, and Li Xi also gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She looked at the withered and pale scenery around her, stood up suddenly and wanted to do something, but in the end she could only sigh dejectedly.

"This is what Xiangzi told me herself, and Hailing also confirmed it... Deng can no longer bear this world, so she chose death."

Amidst the tired and painful voice, Shiina Riki felt her vision begin to blur again. She covered her face tightly, feeling a sense of powerlessness and self-blame that almost swallowed her completely.

If Deng was murdered by someone else, she would make the murderer suffer and die no matter what the cost... But she chose death on her own initiative. Li Xi could not take revenge on any specific person, she could only choose to hate herself.

"I'm sorry, this is all my fault... If only I had paid more attention to her condition, if only I had cared more about her... It's all because I was stupid enough not to protect her that Deng ended up in so much pain that she chose to leave. I'm sorry..."

She gasped for breath and fell to her knees crying. Aine silently placed her hands on her shoulders, and when she finally recovered a little, the pink-haired girl whispered.

"Don't blame yourself, Rikki... If you want to blame someone, you should punish me. I could always sense Deng's mood before, and I should have enlightened her..."

"It's probably no use blaming ourselves any more now,"

Su Shi looked tiredly in the direction where the light faded. She tried to wipe away her tears, and after a moment she slowly squeezed out a trembling and determined voice.

"She died because of this cruel world. We've all been through so much in this month... We've all forced ourselves to accept it all, and we've all gradually changed beyond recognition... But she's always been the same lamp. She hasn't changed. She collapsed because of the blood and horror she's endured, and that's why she died."

"We must hate the world we live in, hate all the violence and evil... Before, we chose to be selfish, to become monsters, but this made Deng unbearable... I think we should try to save more people for her. If the world can return to its previous state, then Deng will rest in peace."

"I understand what you mean, Sushi... However, Deng is dead. I also want to make this world a better place for her, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to accomplish."

Shiina Riki closed his eyes for a moment, then spoke softly with a complicated expression,

"I don't want to lose any of you anymore. Tokyo has become increasingly chaotic. If we go to rescue people, we'll inevitably be involved in danger... Deng won't want to see us get into trouble."

"So what do you want to do? Are we just going to leave Japan like this? Deng was tortured to death by this cruel world. Is there nothing we can do for her?"

Hearing her different opinion, the suppressed sadness in Su Shi's heart quickly turned into irritation. She clenched her teeth and raised her voice, while also pulling off the blindfold on her face, exposing her empty eyes.

"For mygo, for the lifelong promise I made to Deng and you, I dug out my own eyes. It was very painful, but I persisted... because I wanted to protect you, I wanted to protect all of us."

"But Deng is dead now. No matter how much I grieve, she can't come back. It was this world, suddenly strange and cruel, that killed her. So I must take revenge on it. I want to change everything. I want to make everything Deng desired come true... She chose to die precisely because she was in utter despair."

"...I understand you, Sushi, but if we could do that, the lamp wouldn't have died."

After a moment of silence, Li Xi sighed tiredly and responded in a low voice,

"Although we are considered powerful among all the bands, we are still nothing in the face of a truly terrifying existence. Xiangzi even possesses the power of Yug's descendants, but she still can't change this, right?"

"Compared to the state of this world, Deng must care about us more... She wouldn't want to see us risk her pain. After finding Mu and reconciling with Xiangzi and the others, let's leave here... She will still live in our memories."

"If Deng cared more about us, she wouldn't have chosen death... It was precisely because she couldn't make a decision, because she didn't know what to do, that she collapsed in pain."

Su Shi began to tremble, tightly grasping his blindfold, and looked up at Li Xi with a distorted face.

"How can we just leave like this? Deng was killed by this city. If we can't change this, then at least..."

"What's the least? Raze the city to the ground and kill everyone here? That might even have a better chance of success than saving them."

Li Xi interrupted her softly, and Su Shi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She lowered her head weakly, and after a moment she slowly squeezed out a desperate voice.

"I just... can't accept it. I want to do something for Deng, even if it's just a small thing..."

"There's nothing we can do for her. We can only accept our own powerlessness. If we don't accept this, the world will once again make us pay with blood."

"..."

Riku raised his voice expressionlessly, and Sushi didn't say anything else. After a suffocating silence, Aine sighed and spoke softly.

"Rikki, Soyorin, stop arguing... Deng wouldn't want to see you like this. We can talk about this later, okay?"

"So be it."

Lixi lowered her head, answered softly, then raised her hand and used her spatial ability to take a bottle of beer that came from nowhere. She roughly cut open the upper half of the bottle and poured the beer into her mouth without caring about the sharp broken glass. When her tongue was pierced, she tasted bitterness and blood at the same time.

"Rikki! What are you doing?!"

Aiyin quickly snatched the beer from her hand, and Lixi also subconsciously wanted to take it back, but after waving her arms, she just knelt on the ground weakly. She spat out the blood-stained wine, and saw her tearful face in the sunlight reflecting on the turbid liquid. After a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help but smiled bitterly and tremblingly.

"Who said alcohol can suppress pain? What a damn rumor! I drank so much at once, but I still don't feel any better..."

"Rikki, don't be like this. Deng definitely doesn't want to see you like this..."

"If Deng really didn't want to see my pain and despair, then she shouldn't have chosen death. She shouldn't have abandoned us and left us in this cruel world!"

Li Xi suddenly stood up and grabbed Aiyin's collar, gritting her teeth and screaming madly. The tears she had been trying so hard to suppress finally burst out, and her face was distorted.

, those ferocious, crimson eyes were filled with devastation and hatred that was not directed towards Aine.

"She was the one who insisted on the band the most, and she was the one who wanted the five of us to stay together the most! She was the one who first proposed a lifelong promise! But what did she do?! She chose death over casualties that had nothing to do with us... Who cares about all this? Who cares about what will become of this city? All I cared about from the beginning to the end was you guys, only MyGO!"

"She clearly promised us, she clearly promised to accompany us. The girls in other bands were able to choose selfishness for their companions... Why couldn't she do it? Seeing that we were about to leave, why did she want to end her own life?! Wouldn't everything Xiangzi did for her be in vain?! Over a million people died in vain! All because of her choice!"

"Lixi..."

"Just enough is enough!"

Aiyin spoke subconsciously in a daze, but Su Shi's angry voice suddenly interrupted her. She quickly turned around and saw a flaxen-haired girl rushing over, pulling Riki over and speaking with gritted teeth.

"Are you resenting Deng? You've always been the one who liked her the most. Can't you understand her thoughts?! How much has she endured for us?! Now she can't bear it anymore and chooses death. What's there to blame?! She's just an ordinary girl!"

"But she's not! We're just like her, we're no longer just ordinary girls!"

Li Xi roared back without hesitation, growling madly.

"We are executioners, monsters, and terrorists! We are not ordinary girls. She has been dreaming of this beautiful dream, ignoring everything we have done for her and giving up like this. She broke the promise she made to us with her own hands and abandoned us!"

"Snapped!"

A crisp slapping sound was heard, and Aiyin, who was about to continue persuading, was suddenly stunned. She stared at the slap mark on Li Xi's face, and after she reacted, she turned to look at Su Shi in disbelief.

"Soyorin, why are you..."

"She no longer knows what she's saying, so I have to wake her up... Deng didn't abandon us, she just couldn't hold on any longer, so she chose to give up... I can't blame her for that."

Su Shi responded in a low voice with an expressionless face, and Li Xi came back to her senses and trembled. She felt the pain on her face, subconsciously clenched her fists and looked up at Su Shi. But when she was about to face Li Xi's revenge, she suddenly saw the black-haired girl sneer.

"You said Deng didn't abandon us? Then let me ask you, when she ended her life, did she ever think about how much pain we would endure? She endured too much, so she collapsed. What about us? Did we endure less pain than she did?"

"Aine gave up her emotions to keep her conscious. You dug out your eyes to protect her. I lost my entire family... Is our pain nothing compared to her compassion for others?! We fought so hard for each other until now, and she killed herself just like that... If this isn't abandonment, what is?"

"How can you say that? Haven't you always admired her singing? You've clearly been taking care of her, so why are you doing this now that she's dead..."

"Because I'm no longer the person I used to be! That ridiculously immature Shiina Riki was trapped in a sense of inferiority, blindly seeking fantasy satisfaction from the light. Since my sister's death, I've realized the folly of such behavior. I only care about the real mygo."

Li Xi gritted his teeth and looked into her empty eyes, responding slowly word by word.

"Amidst blood and death, I grew, you grew, we all grew... But what about Deng? She's never been able to let go of that innocence, never been able to complete her transformation... I thought she just needed time, but now she's killed herself! All our efforts have become a joke!"

"My expectations for her were no longer the ridiculous fantasies I had before. I longed for her to overcome that obstacle, leave Japan with us, and start a new life...but in the end, all she left me was this tragic ending."

"I'm telling you, Su Shi, even if she died, I would still blame her. Not only would I blame her, I would hate her. She had no right to choose death. Her life should belong to mygo, but she escaped in this way... I hate her."

"...you don't understand her at all,"

After a moment's silence, Nagasaki Suyo answered in a cold voice, and Riki nodded slightly indifferently.

"Yes, I don't understand her. I don't understand why she would rather choose death than us... And now I'm beginning to not understand you, Su Shi. Why are you so determined to protect her innocence? Don't you know that this is the real reason for killing her?"

"How many times do I need to say it? It was this world that killed her..."

"But we can't change the world! We can only change ourselves! All of us are alive today because we changed ourselves! Deng should have done the same for us, so why does she refuse to change?! Is it more important to her that we don't have her kindness?!"

Li Xi roared, and Su Shi stared coldly into her eyes, trying hard to suppress her anger and slowly exhaled.

"I'm really disappointed in you, Lixi. It seems that no matter how much I explain, you won't understand. You are too selfish."

"...You're calling me selfish?"

Hearing her words, Lixi couldn't help but open her eyes wide, her body trembled, and she began to cry again in pain, but the absurd feeling of collapse made her unable to control the corners of her mouth, and tears and smiles superimposed on her twisted and crazy face.

"Yes! I was so selfish! I was so stupid! I ignored other people's lives for you and selfishly persisted for so long. I fought hard for everyone in this band and foolishly gave so much, but in the end, Deng committed suicide without caring about us, and you are still here to defend her!"

"Nagasaki Suyo, as you said, I am truly a selfish and foolish person... But I only regret that I wasn't selfish enough. If I had discovered Deng's plan earlier and confronted her face to face sooner, perhaps I could have made her change her mind. If she still behaved the same way, I could have told her that her naive ideas didn't deserve to stay in MyGO!"

"you!"
