mygo, but Cthulhu

Ruomai asked softly, and Ruoye Mu also shook his head and found a chair to sit down.

"I am Mu now, and the one you know is Mortis. Before, she was responsible for bearing the pain, so she had this name... Now it's me who bears it, so I am Wakaba Mu."

"As long as you are willing, we can share the responsibility with you."

"Really? But you can't change the past. If the damage Ye Mu suffered had always been there, her body wouldn't be damaged, but her heart would have been broken long ago. Only the fragile fragments are still beating now."

The girl smiled indifferently and spread her hands lightly.

"Tell me, how are you going to bear it? Just a few words of comfort, a warm embrace? That won't help Mortis at all. Her numbness won't be resolved so easily."

"At least we can promise that we will do our best to protect you. We will not let you suffer such torture again, and we will not let you get hurt again..."

"Really? Then why didn't you say a word and just stood there watching when Toyokawa Shoko asked Mortis to kill Deng for her? Is that how you protect your companions?"

Ruoye Mu interrupted Ruomai with a sneer, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment, Hailing calmly continued.

"Xiangzi was asking you for help. If you didn't want to help her, you could have refused. Why did you take her request for help as harm? She didn't mean it that way. She just broke down."

"Yes, she broke down... However, Mortis had broken down countless times before. She had endured countless pains. When she chose to leave with Hastur, it was Xiangzi who begged her to stay... In that case, she shouldn't have been so selfish in asking Mortis for help. Even if she didn't mean to, her request itself was hurtful."

Wakaba Mutsu took a deep breath, then looked coldly at Toyokawa Shoko who was still unconscious on the bed.

"Furthermore, Mortis's concern for her isn't normal... You all know this, right? She possesses the blood of Pan. The more flawed and insane a person is, the more likely they are to develop deep and heavy feelings for her, becoming trapped and unable to extricate themselves. Mortis has become like this because of long-term poisoning. I am this body's last self-protection mechanism."

"I know that my extreme feelings for Xiaoxiang also stem largely from this, but Ruomai and the others made me understand that even in this situation, I still have the right to love others... Mu, I will try to love you too. Please, go back to Mujica. We can't live without you."

Chu Hua also stretched out her hand with a determined expression at this time, but Ruo Yemu was unmoved. He raised his finger indifferently and pointed at the bloodstain on her mouth.

"And because of my healing ability, I will provide you with flesh and blood every day to satisfy your twisted desires? Don't dream on. I will never allow anything that could possibly harm Mu."

"No, I didn't mean that..."

"Okay, let's talk about your internal affairs later. I didn't bring her here to help you reconcile. I want Xiangzi to help, otherwise she will be taken away by Hastur soon."

At this time, Shiina Riki interrupted Chuhua softly and calmly explained the situation. After Hailing listened quietly, she also spoke softly after thinking about it.

"If Morfonica and Paspale both wanted to implement the Paradise Project to avoid hatred, they probably wouldn't let us find the underground city. That would mean other bands could follow the trail and target them, and they would no longer be able to live the peaceful life they desire."

"If Xiangzi tries to forcefully break the secret, then they will probably find us on their own initiative. We don't need to be hostile to them. We can just let Bailu Qiansheng solve Mu's problem. She should be able to help."

"Yeah, this way Mu won't be taken away, and we can..."

"Everyone, can you excuse me for a moment?"

Before Li Xi could finish his words, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Mi Zhulan's nervous voice came in. Everyone subconsciously looked at Li Xi, and the black-haired girl shook her head with a grim expression.

"I didn't tell her where this place is... I'm going to find out how she found her way here."

She frowned, stood up and opened the door. She looked around vigilantly to confirm that there was no possible attack, then pulled Mizukami in, and then questioned in a serious voice.

"Meizhulan, how did you find this place? Has this base been exposed?"

"No, I just used a little trick to locate your location... I'm sorry."

Mei Zhulan lowered her head and spoke apologetically while raising her hand towards Lixi, allowing a tiny piece of flesh and blood to fly down from Lixi's body and slowly merge into her palm. After realizing what was going on, Lixi couldn't help but sigh.

"I was too careless... Tell me, what exactly did you go through the trouble of finding us for?"

"I want to ask for your help. Feimali should be in that underground city now. I must find her..."

"Why should we help you?"

Li Xi interrupted her coldly, and Mizukuri seemed to have anticipated her reaction. She pursed her lips and responded softly and seriously.

"My father has long studied the bloodline of Pan and Delapore. I have found the information he left behind. If you can help me, I can help you repair the mental problems of Sanjiao Chuhua and make Toyokawa Shoko no longer have that twisted attraction... What do you think of this offer?"

"We agree."

Before Lixi could answer, a weak but firm voice slowly sounded. She was stunned for a moment and quickly turned her head to see that Toyokawa Shoko had already climbed up from the bed. She supported her body and nodded vigorously to Mizukawa.

"We will help you rescue Uehara Himari. I hope you won't break your promise."

"I promise I'll keep my promise."

Seeing that she agreed, Mizukami breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly. She discussed the specific plan with Xiangzi and the others and left directly. After the door was closed, the atmosphere in the room became a little complicated.

"So you were awake before."

Wakaba Mutsu stared at Xiangzi and spoke calmly first, while the blue-haired girl smiled bitterly and shook her head, her voice full of guilt.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I was just so exhausted that even speaking was difficult... Mu, I'm sorry. I know I hurt you. I shouldn't have let you bear the pain back then. That was my pain... I should have faced it myself."

"Don't apologize, Toyokawa Shoko. Even if you apologize, I won't come back to you, at least not until that disgusting attraction to you disappears."

Wakaba Mu responded indifferently, but Toyokawa Shoko was not discouraged by her reaction and nodded seriously.

"I know, that's why I agreed to her... The problems Chuhua and I have need to be solved. Now it seems that only Meizhulan has this ability, so we must help her."

"Mu, I won't ask you to forgive me. I understand you. Although you're not the person I know, you rejected us to protect Mu, who I care about... But if I can resolve this attraction in me, will you give me another chance to stay by Mu's side and atone for everything I've done?"

"...Maybe. Although I hate you, it's mostly because my brain doesn't want to be controlled. And you really didn't hurt her intentionally."

After a moment's silence, Ruoye Mu sighed and nodded.

"As long as Mortis can make a decision without being disturbed by Pan's bloodline, whether she chooses to return to you or leave, I will support her."

Chapter 316 Kunyang People

After confirming that Shiina Riki and the others did not catch up, Kurata Mashiro breathed a sigh of relief. She let go of Shirasagi Chisei's hand. The latter stood firm and subconsciously wanted to ask something, but was stunned by what she saw.

They were now in the center of an indescribable strange city. Bai Lu Qiansheng could see many complicated retro decorations, and matching them were various sophisticated devices that she could not recognize. A group of people dressed like Indians surrounded them, and Qiansheng unexpectedly discovered that the instruments on them could isolate her innate perception, making her unable to feel any emotions from them.

"Migo, gather together. You have brought the bloodline of Delapore as promised. This is good. As long as she is willing to join us, you will be able to have everything we promised you."

A man wearing a complicated headdress looked at Shirae Chisei and spoke softly, while Kurata Mashiro shrugged and turned his gaze to Shirae Chisei.

"That's great... By the way, you were interrupted by Shiina Riki just now before you could give a formal answer. Now you can make a decision. Are you willing to join them with us?"

"Before I make a decision, I need to know what they need me to do. With their level of technology, they don't need my magic, right?"

"It's simple. They need your help to regulate their spirit so that they can feel what they want."

Kurata Mashiro chuckled, and Shiraishi Chisei couldn't help but frown in confusion.

"Is it that simple? Can't they do it with technology?"

"Your spells can be more subtle, giving them a stronger stimulation, which is what they crave. I told you, all they care about is blood and pleasure; that's what's most important to them."

Mashiro answered casually, then turned to look at Himari, who had just crawled up from the ground covered in blood. The pink-haired girl was trembling and covering her head tightly, her face distorted to the extreme because of panic, and her wailing voice was mixed with crazy pain.

"Lan and the others know! They know! They will feel pain because of me. No, no, this is... why... why..."

"Calm down, Scarlet Mary."

Kurata Mashiro waved his hands helplessly in front of her eyes. Seeing that she still didn't react, Mashiro shook his head, picked up the blade and chopped off her head directly, then pried open her skull with force and poured out all the brain matter and blood.

The people of Kunyang were stunned for a moment and then couldn't help cheering. Mashiro didn't care about the noise at all. He put Feimali's empty head back on his neck and watched the collapsed expression on her face gradually become dull as her body repaired itself. It was a while before his pupils regained focus.

"Have you calmed down now? Just crying won't solve the problem. Fei Ma Li, now that your friends know about it, we need to think of new ways, such as asking Bai Lu Qian Sheng to help us erase their memories."

Mashiro spoke softly, and Himari opened her eyes wide and looked at Qiansheng with a pleading look on her face. The blonde girl pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and shook her head.

"The rest of the Aftergrow team is easy to deal with, but Meizhulan's physique is quite unique. Her father has always been wary of our family's magic and has cultivated resistance to it in her body since she was a child. It will be difficult for me to change her memory, and even if I succeed, there's a high chance she'll recover in the future."

"how so……"

Fei Mali stared at her in confusion, while Kurata Mashiro smiled without surprise.

"It's normal to encounter difficulties... But the technology of the Kunyang people can help solve this problem. With their methods, they can completely ensure that they won't remember the truth. They can also create a new you and let her accompany them out of Japan."

"Is that so? By the way, Mashiro, you just said that they were interested in me...Excuse me, what do I need to do in order for you to help me?"

After hearing her words, Fei Mali was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the people of Kunyang in great surprise. They whispered to each other, and after a while, the leader smiled and raised his hand to her.

"We know you won't die. We also know you've thrown yourself into the bloody hell countless times... We admire you very much. As long as you are willing to be a prop for our entertainment for a hundred years and cooperate with all our requests during this period, we are willing to help you."

"Okay, I promise you."

Pain was all too familiar to her, and there was no need to be afraid. Fei Mali nodded vigorously without hesitation, and the leader's smile became more and more cheerful, raising his hand to gesture towards the building in the center.

"Then please follow us to the chapel."

They turned and walked forward, and just as Fei Mali wanted to follow, she suddenly felt her hand being held, and subconsciously turned back to meet Bai Lu Qiansheng's complicated gaze.

"Feimali, have you really thought it through? That's a hundred years. The Kunyang people can torture you for a full hundred years... I don't think your friends would want to see you endure this."

"But they won't see it, right? They can spend the rest of their lives with another normal me, and go back to normal... That's enough for me. After all, I don't have the right to feel happy."

Fei Mali smiled at her, resolutely broke free from her hand and walked quickly forward, while Bailu Qiansheng stared at her back in a daze, hesitantly wanting to say something else, but ultimately did not open his mouth.

"Bai Lu Qiansheng, since you've already agreed to join the Kunyang people, you'd better get used to their behavior. They'll do anything for fun. If you get in their way, your cooperation with them will likely fall apart."

Kurata Mashiro watched all this quietly, and suddenly spoke softly indifferently, while Bailu Qiansheng also closed his eyes tiredly and nodded silently.

"I know, I just feel that she is so pitiful... Thank you for reminding me."

"It's good that you know this. Now follow me. We need to meet another person."

Mashiro nodded slightly, said something softly, and walked to the other side. Qiansheng followed her into another room, and when she saw the man inside, she couldn't help but frowned in surprise.

"Mizono Watari? Why are you here?"

"Why do you think the Kunyang people know what's happening on the ground, and why do they want to talk to you?

Cooperation? I am their bridge to the ground."

The man smiled and shrugged, and at the same time Bai Lu Qiansheng also felt the chaotic emotions in the room. She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned her head, seeing that the surroundings were full of cages covered with black cloth.

She looked expressionlessly at Sanzono Tokou who was still smiling, raised her hand and used magic to lift the black cloth, but the scene that came into her eyes afterwards made her open her eyes wide.

There were people in the cage, men, women, young and old, people of different genders and age groups. They were all tied up tightly and their mouths were sealed. They could only whimper desperately in panic, hoping that Bai Lu Qiansheng could rescue them.

"You... actually want to sell them to the Kunyang people?"

After looking at the labels on each cage, Bailu Qiansheng quickly realized the specific situation. He gritted his teeth and looked at Sanyuan Duguan, while the man just shook his head slightly without caring.

"Don't be so angry, Bai Lu Qiansheng. Now that you have joined the Kunyang people, you should get used to all this as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can you ensure the safety of your friends?"

"..."

Bai Lu Qiansheng stared at him with a gloomy face, and she couldn't help but clench her fists when she felt the mixed emotions of these innocent people. But at this moment, she also thought of Maya who had no power at all. After a long silence, she could only sigh deeply.

She cast a spell to make everyone in the cage fall asleep, then turned coldly to look at Kurata Mashiro who had a calm expression, and asked in an annoyed voice.

"You brought me here just to show me this?"

"I'm here to introduce you to a deal. Mr. Sanyuan wants to hire us, and he also promised to give us a satisfactory salary. I was curious about it, so I brought you here."

Mashiro explained softly, and Qiansheng couldn't help but sneer at this time.

"We can give us all the Kunyang people we need. I don't think it's necessary to trade with him."

"Don't be so absolute, Miss Bai Lu. Maybe I really have something you desperately need."

"Really? Then tell me, what can you give us?"

"For example, a perfect way to resurrect your friend."

"..."

The room suddenly fell silent. Shiraishi Chisei and Kurata Mashiro couldn't help but open their eyes wide. After a moment of silence, the white-haired girl came back to her senses first, frowned and questioned in a deep voice.

"Even Toyokawa Shoko couldn't bring back her friend with the power of Yuger's offspring. If there really was such a thing as a perfect resurrection technique, she would have found it long ago. Are you just deceiving us?"

"So after seeing this, you should be able to trust me, right?"

Mizono Watari shrugged, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a squirming ball of flesh, which made their expressions become a little wary.

"what is this?"

"This piece of flesh and blood blessed by Gauze Nicholas, though small in size, could expand to fill the entire solar system in an instant if it unleashed its energy."

Sanyuan Duguang smiled and pointed at Bailu Qiansheng.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you very much. If it weren't for the Blood Cross virus you caused, which killed over a million people in a single day, my ritual probably wouldn't have been successful. After all, for the Supreme Mother Goddess, only a mass death toll of this magnitude would barely warrant Her attention."

"...So, this piece of flesh and blood can revive our friend?"

"Of course, all life in the universe is under the control of Gauze Nicholas. Death is just a form of life. As long as you use it carefully, you can embrace your friends again."

Sanyuan Duguang chuckled and nodded, and when Bailu Qiansheng subconsciously stretched out her hand, he put the flesh and blood back into his pocket, looking at her with a meaningful expression.

"So, are you willing to negotiate a deal with me now?"

"...Okay, tell me, what do you want us to do?"

Although reason told Bai Lu Qiansheng that what Sanzono Tokou said was difficult to achieve, and using this piece of flesh and blood to resurrect Xiao Cai and the others would inevitably require a long and difficult research... However, she still couldn't refuse this only hope. She could see the same complex glint in Kurata Mashiro's eyes, and it was obvious that she had the same idea.
