mygo, but Cthulhu

"Toyokawa Shoko inherited Pan's bloodline, but it's not as obvious as her mother's. This attraction is more emotional, and those close to her can always sense her special charm... And you, who share her blood and a deep emotional connection, have long been captivated by her unconscious abilities. That's why you neglect yourself so much and are willing to devote everything to her."

"You're lying..."

Mortis gritted his teeth and slowly squeezed out the sound, while Wakaba Mu also laughed sarcastically.

"I lied? Can't you just feel it directly if I lied? Mortis, you just need to take the initiative to touch my heart, then you will know if I lied... The question is, do you have the courage to do it?"

"..."

The doll was silent for a while. She raised her hand tremblingly and touched Ruoye Mu's chest. As the clear heartbeat sounded, she immediately understood the nature of the girl in front of her.

If Ye Mu was not lying, she had been watching Mortis quietly and witnessed her gradual addiction to it. She was the only self left in this body, so she hated Toyokawa Shoko so much because her existence itself was eroding Mortis.

"How about it, Mortis? You should be able to understand now, right? I didn't lie. I just don't want you to be hurt by her. I just hope that we can have true freedom. Is that wrong?"

The girl hugged the doll tightly, and after a moment of silence, Mortis slowly squeezed out a voice tiredly and weakly.

"Even so, I still want to stay with Xiang... She needs me."

"You're really stubborn. Did you learn this from her?"

Wakaba Mu was not surprised by her response. She sighed and shook her head, then bent down to pick up a piece of glass from the ground. She held it against her collarbone, and when she saw the yellow mark on it that was glowing and slowly healing, she was satisfied to see herself in the fragment with her eyes wide open in confusion.

"What's going on? Wasn't the Toyokawa family already eliminated? Without their help, Hastur shouldn't be able to lock onto us anymore... Why is it being repaired now?"

"If the gaze of the Great Old Ones can be so easily erased, then they don't deserve the title... Moreover, Hastur chose us because of our broken and unique mental state. Once I became active, we naturally became conspicuous to Him."

Wakaba Mutsu shrugged and explained softly, and the doll fell silent for a moment. Mortis looked up at her, and before she could speak, the girl spoke with a smile.

"You're not going to say this is my fault, are you? Isn't the problem Toyokawa Shoko? If she hadn't been so cowardly as to ask you to kill Deng instead of her, you wouldn't have suffered so much pain all at once, and I wouldn't have shown up. It's obvious that she's the one responsible for all this."

"It's not Xiang's fault. We have to find a way to stop the Yellow Seal from being repaired, or Hastur will try to take us away again."

Mortis sighed and spoke softly. She raised her hand to the yellow mark on her collarbone and wanted to use a spell, but she was interrupted by a sudden burst of power just as she was gathering her magic power. She felt a heart-wrenching pain and fell heavily to the ground.

"Aren't you too impatient? No matter how you think about it, it's obvious that ordinary spells can't suppress the Yellow Seal. It is Hastur's mark."

Ruoye Mu shook her head helplessly, and Mortis didn't say anything but just struggled to get up from the ground. Just when she began to think about how to solve this problem, a voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Miss Ruoye, I think I can help you."

Chapter 312 Crazy Scarlet Mary

Ruoye Mu subconsciously turned around and saw Bailu Qiansheng's serious expression, and couldn't help but smile with interest.

"It's you! I didn't expect you to show up again... As the source of the Blood Cross disaster, the hatred you carry is second only to Kurata Mashiro. Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others about your presence in this area?"

"There's no reason for you to do that, because you still need me. Without my help, you'll be taken away by Hastur soon. I don't think that's what you want, right?"

"Then tell me, what can you do to help me? And what do I need to pay?"

Ruoye Mu asked softly, and Bailu Qiansheng calmly looked up and met her gaze.

"The reason you've been noticed again by Hastur is because your mind has become unstable. But I can help you put one of your personalities into a deep sleep. This way, the Yellow Mark on your body will stop repairing. As for which one you want to put to sleep, it's entirely up to you. I won't interfere with your decision."

"You hear me, mortis? We have a solution to this situation."

Wakaba Mutsu raised the corners of his mouth happily, and Mortis responded quickly without hesitation.

"You come back in here, I'll take control of my body again. I'm going back to find Xiang."

"You guys, your mind is really full of Toyokawa Shoko."

Wakaba Mu sighed and shook his head.

"No, I'm sure you've reached your limit mentally. If you go back to her, she'll probably hurt you again. Then you might split apart again. I can't let that happen."

"Xiang won't..."

"She may have never intentionally hurt you, but she has hurt you unintentionally too many times. I will not trust her, and I will not agree to your request."

"..."

Mortis stopped talking and just increased her strength to try to seize control of her body. However, as Ruoye Mu said, she was too tired and weak. Her previous struggle had exhausted her strength. She only managed to hold on for a moment before being pushed back into the dollhouse in her heart and could no longer resist.

"Okay, Mortis, don't insist. I promise, as long as you recover, I will let you out... I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss Egret, please start."

Wakaba Mu looked at the blonde girl with a smile, but she pursed her lips and did not go forward directly, but spoke softly after thinking.

"Ms. Wakaba, we need to take Maya and her family away from Japan, but we don't have the ability to teleport across the ocean... If Ms. Toyokawa can help us, then I'd be happy to meet your expectations."

"I see, this is the reward you want."

Ruoye Mu tilted his head and nodded slightly.

"Okay. Even though I hate her, I believe she will help you. It won't be difficult for her."

"Okay, I also believe that you will keep your promise."

Bai Lu Qiansheng nodded and walked forward to use a mental spell on her. But just as she raised her hand, she seemed to suddenly feel something, her face changed drastically, and she looked to the other side with panic and confusion.

"She's coming closer? How is that possible? I clearly confirmed she was hurting herself there before I caught her.

This opportunity comes..."

"Who's coming here? Why do you look so scared?"

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, hehehe..."

Ruo Ye Mu asked subconsciously, and with a whistling dust, a twisted and crazy laughter slowly sounded. Under the curtain of dust, a staggering figure approached step by step with the sound of flesh tearing. As she approached, Bai Lu Qiansheng also covered her head in pain, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to bear the buzzing in her head.

She had thought that she would not feel pain anymore as she was tortured by the collective spirit of the entire Tokyo and still insisted on living until now. However, the person in front of her made her realize her mistake. Her spiritual essence was a sea of ​​blood and corpses. Bai Lu Qiansheng would feel unbearable pain just by looking at her, but she could still laugh out loud, which made Qiansheng feel creepy.

"Ms. Ruoye, let's run. Dangerous is not enough to describe her current condition..."

Bai Lu Qiansheng spoke anxiously while trying to teleport away, but the dust rushed over first, forcing her to give up escaping and defend with all her strength. As countless grains of sand cut through the shield frantically, her expression became extremely ugly.

"boom,"

The next moment, a broken arm slammed heavily on the shield. As it turned into dust, a broken body covered in blood emerged from the dust. She looked almost inhuman, with a twisted face but still a crazy smile. Ruo Yemu was stunned for a long time before he recognized her identity in disbelief.

"She's... Aftergrow's Uehara Himari? How did she become like this?"

"I don't know. I only heard that she was captured by the Blood Cross. When Mizukami and the others saw her again, she had become like this... But she was obviously not infected. Even if the Blood Cross's methods were perverted, just being tortured for a few hours wouldn't drive her to this extent..."

Bai Lu Qiansheng shook his head in disbelief, and at the same time Fei Mali smiled and tore off the rapidly healing flesh from her broken body. She put a piece of her own flesh into her mouth and chewed it, not caring at all that the blood in her mouth quickly turned into dust. She looked up at them with a terrifying expression and slowly squeezed out a sound with difficulty.

"Bai Lu Qiansheng, Ruo Ye Mu... I want to ask you to do me a favor. Just like Miss Bai Lu wanted to send her friends out of Japan, I also want to send Lan and the others out of Japan, but I need to avoid meeting them as much as possible... Hahahaha, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help but commit an intolerable crime against them... Hahahaha, can you help me send them out?"

"We are happy to help. Please rest assured that we will soon take them all out of Japan and let them live a peaceful life."

"Really? Hehehe, then... then thank you very much."

Bai Lu Qiansheng nodded vigorously without hesitation, and at the same time prayed desperately in his heart that she could leave quickly. Fei Mali also nodded vigorously while laughing wildly. She happily tore the corner of her mouth open, and walked quickly towards them with blood all over her mouth.

"Is there anything...Is there anything I can do in return? You were able to address my concerns. I, I am deeply grateful..."

"This is what we should do, we don't need anything in return, really."

Even Wakaba Mutsu, who was not mentally healthy to begin with, felt subconsciously resistant to her appearance. She tried to control her expression and shook her head vigorously. At this time, Fei Mali seemed to be aware of their resistance. The satisfaction, self-mockery and madness on her face were intertwined. She stared at them for a moment with an extremely distorted expression, then slowly turned around and prepared to leave.

"Bye, hahahaha, goodbye..."

Just as everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, another voice suddenly rang out, causing their breathing to stop instantly.

"Feimali, you forgot one thing: Meizhulan and the others won't be willing to leave. Even if you let Bailu Qiansheng and the others forcibly send your friends out, they will still try their best to find a way back here, because you are still here."

"Just as you still miss them even though you've become like this, they will never give up on you."

Chapter 313 Mashiro's Plan

"That cloud of dust ahead... Looks like Aftergrow's Scarlet Mary has passed through there too. Wildcat, grab my hand, we're going over there now."

Lixi frowned and spoke softly as she looked at the scene in front of her. Just as she was about to teleport directly with Lenai, she suddenly felt a breath of magic and subconsciously turned around quickly to prepare to use her spatial ability.

"Wait a minute, we weren't planning on attacking you... We just wanted to find our friends."

What caught her eye was Mizukami's nervous face. She raised her hands to show that she meant no harm. Li Xi stared at them for a moment and nodded.

"In that case, let's go together."

She teleported over with Aftergrow and used invisibility to cover her figure. The moment they appeared in the house, Li Xi heard the calm voice of Kurata Mashiro coming from outside.

"So, you should be able to understand, right? Even if Ye Mu and Bai Lu Qiansheng wanted to help you, they simply couldn't do it."

"Then what should I do...?"

Fei Mali's trembling and distorted voice sounded slowly, and Mei Zhulan opened her eyes wide and wanted to rush out, but she was frozen by the ripples of space as soon as she took a step. She turned around in surprise, and Li Xi calmly met her confused eyes and explained softly.

"Don't go out. Don't you understand Feimali's condition at this point? Although she's crazy, she still retains some basic rationality. Only you can make her completely lose control. If you go out rashly, you won't be able to calm her down. Listen to their plans first."

"All right……"

Mizukuri knew that she probably had no choice, so she nodded silently. The conversation outside continued. Feimali's distorted voice was full of anxiety and confusion. It sounded like she was even tearing her own body apart, making the sound of flesh and blood being torn accompanied by helpless wails.

"What should I do?! I... I want to return to them all the time, but I can't do that because I can't feel happiness, otherwise I will die... But I still need to protect them, I can't die no matter what..."

"I can help you, but first, tell me what you experienced in that underground space. I've investigated that area, and there are obvious signs of time distortion there. Was this your doing?"

"I did it... Because, because I felt happy at that time, Lan and the others were torn apart by those lunatics... Hehehe... So, I had to change everything. I killed countless versions of myself, piling up the reality that they were still alive, but, I also became like this..."

Himari fell to her knees with sobs and low laughter, blood dripping down her cheeks. While Mitakeran in the house opened her eyes wide, Kurata Mashiro nodded thoughtfully.

"I see. You died because you felt happy, but then you begged Kwache Utaus to give you a second chance... You've been tortured by the Blood Cross for more than just a few hours, probably at least decades. And yet, you haven't completely gone mad yet. You're truly strong-willed."

"Hahahaha... No, that's not right. How can I tell them? If Lan and the others knew, the pain would catch up with them again. No, you can't tell them! Do you hear me?!"

At this time, Mary, with blood all over her face,

She couldn't help laughing, and it took her a moment for her to suddenly realize the risks involved. She suddenly opened her eyes wide in the chaos, and fear appeared on her crazy face for the first time. She looked up at Kurata Mashiro and the others with trembling hands.

"We won't tell, just calm down..."

Wakaba Mu hurriedly tried to calm her down, but Mashiro just smiled and shook her head slightly.

"But you can't guarantee we won't tell them, right? Even if we did, you can't be sure we wouldn't hurt them."

"Kurata Mashiro, are you crazy? What good will it do you to deliberately provoke her?!"

Wakaba Mutsu couldn't help but raise his voice in annoyance, and at this time Fei Mali also nodded vigorously in a trance and pain, covering her head and laughing miserably.

"Yes, I can't guarantee that. So, should I just kill you here? No, let's not even talk about whether I can defeat you. Even if I win, I will bring hatred to Lan and the others... What should I do? I just want them to be happy..."

Uehara Himari sobbed and cried, subconsciously tearing her body apart with force, and her trembling, broken body curled up in a pool of her own blood.

At this time, Mizukami and the others, who were also in tears, almost forced themselves to shout out, but Lixi quickly sealed their mouths with magic power. While carefully controlling the magic fluctuations so that others would not notice, he gritted his teeth and whispered to them.

"I told you, even if you go out now, you will only hurt Himari. Kurata Mashiro must have some purpose in provoking her. We need to listen to her plan first."

"Feimary, you don't need to worry, because I have found a way to help you."

Kurata Mashiro was not surprised by Himari's collapse. She spoke calmly and softly, and the pink-haired girl trembled suddenly when she heard her words. She quickly raised her head to reveal her face that had been scratched by herself, and stared at her with desire and eagerness.

"You can help me? Really?"

"Mizukuri and the others don't want to leave because they care about you. You can't get close to them because you can't feel happy. You need to live forever to protect them... So what we have to do is actually very simple. We just need to create another Uehara Himari who is exactly like you."

Having said that, Kurata Mashiro looked down at her body and smiled with a complicated look.

"I used to think that a clone was just a clone, unable to replace the original, but I was wrong. Even if I were like this, I could still be Kurata Mashiro... Scarlet Mari, I'm living proof. As long as another Scarlet Mari is indistinguishable from you, and your friends don't know this, they'll be willing to leave Japan with her."

"Really? Then... can you help me create another Scarlet Mary?"

The pink-haired girl asked tremblingly, and Mashiro shook her head, but quickly changed the subject.

"I'm sorry, it took my mother a long time to create me. I don't think you can wait that long... But I know there's a race that possesses this ability, and they're very interested in you. If you can agree to their terms, they should help you create a clone."

"who are they?"

"They are the Kunyang people. Their cities have always existed beneath our feet. In their eyes, human technology is like primitive tribes, and what they care about most is pleasure and bloodshed."

Kurata Mashiro shrugged, and as she raised her hand and pointed forward, a portal suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Ah, it seems they have been monitoring us all along. Fei Mary, would you like to go in with me?"

Mashiro smiled and turned his gaze to Himari, and the pink-haired girl nodded tremblingly and staggered to her feet from the pool of blood. At the same time, Shirasagi Chisei and Wakaba Mutsu also wanted to leave quietly, but were stopped by Mashiro. Their expressions instantly became alert, ready to release spells at any time.

"what do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, I certainly won't do anything bad to you. I just want to persuade you, Bai Lu Qiansheng."

Mashiro gazed calmly at the blonde girl, then raised her hand to gesture towards the ruined Tokyo.

"Do you remember? You are the source of the Blood Cross Virus. Over a million people died because of you... Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you. I'm reminding you that if this news gets out, how many people will hate you."

"…What exactly do you want to say?"

"I'm analyzing the situation for you, Shirasagi Chisei. Do you remember that in order to protect your friends, you pushed the contamination towards Yamabuki Saya and Junda Mana, who were about to climb into the Dreamland? Because of you, Miss Yamabuki was unable to save Hanazono Tae, so she chose to be infected with the Blood Cross to save her teammates."
