mygo, but Cthulhu

"It's okay! You took me with you because I asked you to. I will bear all the blame from Ran. Please take me with you... I really... I really don't want to be able to only comfort Mocha and the others in the room. I don't want to be powerless anymore. I also want to help Feimali and Ran..."

While pleading painfully, Tsugumi Yuzawa's emotions, which had been tense and suppressed for the past few days, began to collapse. She thought of her parents who were killed by the Blood Cross, and of Himari who was dragged underground by those lunatics, and of Mitakeran who was wailing and desperately pounding the ruins... These scenes flashed before her eyes, and she could no longer support her body. She could only kneel on the ground and sob in pain.

Why, why didn't she have a talent for magic? Why was she so useless? Unable to help Lan and the others? If she had done something sooner, would everything have been different?

"Wuwuwu... Please, please take me with you. I will never be a burden to you..."

She cried and clutched Misaki's military pants tightly, wailing and wanting to get closer but afraid that her tears would stain her clothes. She could only tremble and lower her head deeply, trying her best to squeeze out intermittent sobs.

"Don't cry... I'll take you with me."

Feeling the painful trembling coming from her palm, Ozawa Misaki couldn't help but grit her teeth in distress. She looked up at the calm-looking Xian Juanxin, hesitated for a moment, and could only sigh and nodded silently.

"Really?! Thank you, Ozawa-senpai! Thank you, I promise I won't cause any trouble for you!"

Hearing her reply, Tsugumi Yuzawa looked up in great surprise. After confirming that Misaki really agreed to her, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded desperately while getting up from the ground. Misaki could only helplessly stuff a pistol and a dagger into her hands, and then

Xian Juanxin nodded.

"Remember to stay safe. I will do my best to protect you, but I can't guarantee that nothing will happen to you... Xin, please teleport us down now."

"Okay, Misaki, you have to take care of yourself too."

Xianjuanxin responded softly and seriously, and at the same time raised her hand to let the light of the trapezoidal octahedron cover them. After a moment, Misaki and the others disappeared, but she still stood there, staring thoughtfully at the space vortex in front of her, and her eyes gradually became complicated and dark.

Then, she turned to look at the clerk beside her and asked softly with a blank expression.

"Ikumi's body should be preserved, right?"

"Don't worry, Miss Kitazawa's body is intact and is still preserved in the freezer."

The civil servant nodded vigorously and asked cautiously.

"I just don't know what you're going to do with it. If you can tell me a little bit, we can prepare in advance..."

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. If you ask about this kind of thing again, there's no need for you to stay in the company."

The blonde girl didn't even look at him and responded coldly. The civilian apologized profusely, sweating profusely, until she waved her hand and crawled away.

"..."

Xian Juanxin didn't care about the nervous expressions of the other civil servants, but just stared at the front in silence. After a moment, she closed her eyes and sighed slowly.

She had always kept Yumei's body and did not bury her because she knew that death could be reversed... until this incident completely destroyed her hope.

Now it is impossible for Yumei to be resurrected, but she is unwilling to accept this. She has paid so much to allow capital and technology to create a new order. How can she just admit that her best friend is irretrievable?

As long as Misaki can get the data center, she might be able to use it to scan Ikumi's brain and reconstruct a conscious entity... This is of course not the real Ikumi, but just a fake thing, but even such a fantasy is enough to make her feel a tiny bit of pitiful comfort... At least, she hopes it will be so.

She smiled bitterly, then clenched her fists and reopened her eyes. Her expression had returned to the calmness she had long been accustomed to.

...Don't think too much, Xian Juanxin, all you have to do is persevere, and you must never show even the slightest bit of vulnerability... Only in this way can you protect your friends.

Chapter 329 Yukina's Dream

"Yukina? Yukina?"

In a trance, Yukina Minato heard a familiar voice. She slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself in a recording studio, and in front of her was Lisa with a worried look on her face.

"Yukina, are you okay? We were about to start practicing, but you suddenly closed your eyes and didn't respond no matter how we called...Are you too tired?"

"Lisa?"

For some reason, when she saw her, Youxina suddenly felt an indescribable horrible pain. Her vision was instantly blurred by tears. She subconsciously hugged her tightly and sobbed tremblingly.

"Lisa! Lisa! I'm sorry, don't leave me, this is all my fault, I'm sorry..."

"Eh? Yukina, what's wrong with you? Of course I won't leave, stop crying..."

Lisa Imai tried to comfort her helplessly, but although Yukina Minato also didn't understand the source of her own surging pain, she was still unwilling to let go of Lisa and begged desperately with tears in her eyes.

When she came to her senses again, she found herself in a coffee shop outside. Lisa wiped away her tears gently with helplessness and worry, and touched her head.

"Yukina, what happened to you recently? Why did you suddenly become like that just now? Tell us, and we will definitely help you."

"Yes, Sister Lisa is right. This is the first time I've seen you cry so sadly, Youxi-senpai... No matter what happens, we will stand by you."

At this time, Ueda Ako also nodded vigorously. Looking at the serious expressions on their faces, Minato Yukina felt dazed for a moment, and after a moment she tried to smile.

"It's okay, I'm sorry to have made you worried..."

"Minato Yukina,"

"Who?"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. Minato Yukina was stunned for a moment and turned her head instinctively, but saw nothing next to her. When she turned around, she saw that Lisa and the others' expressions became a little confused.

"Yukina, who were you talking to just now?"

"I……"

"Minato Yukina, wake up!"

The sound suddenly increased, and the world in Youxi's eyes suddenly flickered. Errors and garbled text swallowed Lisa and the others, and her face suddenly distorted. She desperately and madly reached out to this beautiful thing.

"Lisa! Don't go!"

"Boom,"

The next moment, her ears were filled with noisy electric sounds, and her vision kept changing, making it almost impossible for her to tell where she was. As something was taken off her head, her consciousness gradually became clear. She looked up blankly and met Sato Mashiki's helpless gaze.

"You finally woke up, Yukina Minato. I just thought..."

"Why?! Why are you taking all this away?! Why?!"

Cruel and cold memories of reality flooded into her mind, and Yukina collapsed instantly. She wailed and pinched Masuki's throat hard, staring at her eyes madly, and her roar was full of crazy hatred.

"I clearly saw Lisa! Why did you pull me back?! You damn guy!"

"Ahem, ahem, wake up!"

Sato Masuki gritted his teeth, yelled back, and raised his fist to hit Minato Yukina's shoulder hard, causing her to fall to the ground. With her mind in a mess, she saw the annoyed Masuki pick up the broken and bloody helmet on the ground, and pointed at her head. She subconsciously touched it according to her guidance, and then she saw her hands were covered in blood.

"When we found you, the helmet was embedded in your head. If it weren't for the subtle angle, you would probably be dead by now."

"I've also confirmed with magic that this helmet allows people to see what they most want to see... Minato Yukina, I understand your frustration, but your friends are nowhere to be found right now. Shouldn't you go find them quickly instead of letting this false illusion get you down?"

She sighed and explained softly, and Yukina gradually understood what had happened. She trembled and covered her head tightly, forcing herself to accept the reality in pain and despair. After healing her wounds with magic, she staggered to her feet and looked at Sato Masuki and the other two with gloomy eyes.

"My friends...where are they now?"

"How would we know? We've just arrived in this city, just like you... Don't you have a spell to detect roads?"

"No, originally the teleportation spell could show the terrain at the same time, but there's no way to cast the teleportation spell here."

Minato Yukina shook her head silently, and while they were in trouble, a tired voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Minato Yukina, and the three from RAS, we meet again."

"It's you?"

Sato Masuki quickly turned around and subconsciously pulled out

pistol, and after seeing the bitter expression of Kurata Mashiro in front of her, she couldn't help but frown.

"Kurata Mashiro, I saw you fighting Mujica earlier. You joined the Kunyang people, right? Are you planning to kill us now?"

"You misunderstood. I am no longer in a cooperative relationship with the Kunyang people. After all, the coordinates of this city have been completely exposed. There is no way for us and Paspale to hide from their hatred here... Our unfinished paradise has completely collapsed because of this. It is meaningless to stop you now."

Kurata Mashiro smiled bitterly, but Sato Mashiki did not let down his guard because of her words. He still pointed the gun at her head, his voice extremely cold.

"Then get out of the way quickly. I'm not interested in chatting with you."

"Before I get out of the way, can I make a deal with you guys?"

Kurata Mashiro stared at them for a moment, then sighed and spoke slowly. Sato Mashiki was also stunned by her words, and after thinking for a moment, he asked tentatively.

"what do you want to say?"

"You came here to save Tamade Chiyu, right? I know where Uehara Himari is, and I can take you there... as long as you promise me that the Trauma Team will get all my friends out of Japan and to a safe place."

After saying this, Kurata Mashiro turned his tired gaze towards Minato Yukina.

"Minato Yukina, as long as you promise me to do my best to protect Ruyu and the others, I will also help you find your friends. Himari's location happens to be the city's data center. As long as we get there, we can confirm the location of your friends."

"Have you realized that it's impossible to avoid hatred, so you're trying to find a way to protect your friends?"

Minato Yukina asked softly with an expressionless face, and Kurata Mashiro nodded weakly.

"Yes, you are right. Since the Paradise Project has failed, I must think of new ways... I killed Maruyama Aya, I killed Yutenji Wakami, and I am involved in too much hatred. I must do everything I can to ensure the safety of my friends... This is the only thing I care about."

"I know this isn't safe, but I've run out of options... I can only try to grasp the hope that's before me, even if I've failed many times. I'll still do this... I think we're all the same in this respect."

"...Yes, you're right. We are all fighting for this slim hope... Even if it means enduring more, we are unwilling to give up."

Minato Yukina sighed deeply, and after looking at Sato Masuki, she nodded slightly to Kurata Mashiro with a complicated expression.

"We promised you, now take us there quickly."

Chapter 330: Extreme Collapse

When Ozawa Misaki opened her eyes again, she found herself and the others in a dark room. She subconsciously raised her pistol to be alert to the surroundings, and then she smelled a very strong smell of blood.

"despair,"

Following the sound coming from another place, the room was illuminated by the lights that turned on automatically. Misaki quickly pointed the gun there, but after seeing the specific situation clearly, she couldn't help but be stunned.

The bloody smell she smelled came from the corpses in the cages. They were all unrecognizable, with all kinds of disgusting modifications on their bodies. Even their faces had undergone horrific changes, but Ozawa Misaki could still see the pain they had endured in their lives, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

The muzzle of her gun was pointed at the only girl still alive. She was also wearing Hanasakigawa's school uniform. It seemed that the Kunyang people had vented enough on the others, and her body was merely torn apart by the weapons, so her body was much more intact than others.

"Classmate, are you okay?"

Misaki hurried forward and tried to open the cage, but it was still wrapped with hard chains. Just as she began to get confused, an instrument suddenly extended from the wall, shot out a laser to cut the chains, and then retracted again under the vigilant gunshots of everyone.

After looking at the wall with doubt and vigilance, Misaki chose to carry out the girl covered in blood first. When she saw them, she opened her eyes wide and wanted to say something hoarsely, but she was too weak to squeeze out a sound immediately. Only her face was twisted into a ball with extreme pain and anxiety.

"Little, be careful..."

"careful?"

"Be careful... those corpses!"

Misaki asked subconsciously in surprise, and the girl suddenly burst into wailing the next moment. She pointed desperately at the strange corpses in the cages around her in fear, and they finally noticed the intruder at this time, and climbed up in strange postures.

"Ha, they're all in cages, how could they possibly pose a threat..."

"Tear,"

Before Yu Gu Youjia could finish her contemptuous words, a corpse next to her suddenly broke through the iron cage and rushed out. It roared and grabbed at the girl. The latter had no time to react and stood there in a daze, and was about to be torn to pieces by it.

"Bang bang bang,"

The next moment, the bullets reflected in Yu Gu Youjia's fear-filled pupils. They hit the hard skin of the corpse in an instant. Although they did not penetrate it, it still made it stumble back into the cage. The frightened girl also heard the urgent roar of her captain at this time.

"These corpses have been transformed by the Kunyang people. Our weapons can't harm them. Follow me and leave here immediately!"

Misaki Ozawa shouted as she slammed the door open with the girl in her arms. As she subconsciously raised her gun to be on guard, she couldn't help but widen her eyes because of the extremely cruel things in front of her.

She had directly found the people they were meant to rescue, but now they were scattered throughout the hall? If that were all, it would be fine, but the Kunyang people treated them like art materials, using blood, flesh, and human skin as paint and clay, smearing them freely throughout the hall. They even used various technological means that Misaki couldn't understand to keep the broken organs pulsing and the blood flowing. Misaki, who had begun to get used to the normal blood, felt the urge to vomit.

"vomit,"

She barely endured it all, but the girls behind her couldn't help vomiting. Ozawa Misaki hurriedly supported several staggering classmates, and at the same time raised her gun and pointed it at the Kunyang people who looked surprised, and pulled the trigger with a distorted face.

"You damned beasts! Go to hell!"

But the scene she hoped for did not come true. The bullets only passed through the bodies of the Kunyang people but did not cause any harm to them. Just as they showed sarcasm on their faces, all kinds of strange weapons suddenly extended around them and slaughtered them in the blink of an eye.

Seeing a similar situation again, Ozawa Misaki subconsciously realized that someone was helping her, but she didn't have time to think too much at this time. After looking around and confirming that there was only one survivor in her arms, she gritted her teeth and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart, and turned to look at Yuzawa Tsugumi who was standing still because of this scene.

"Haze-san! Can you sense your friends' location right now?! We don't know who's helping us, but we have to act quickly!"

"I...I can roughly feel it, in this direction!"

Tsugumi Yuzawa came back to her senses and nodded tremblingly. She tried her best to suppress her fear and tried to feel it for a moment before rushing forward.

Misaki Ozawa also quickly followed her with the other girls. Behind them came the sound of corpses being cut into pieces.

There was no time to think, and no time to retreat. Ozawa Misaki just wanted to get to the city as soon as possible and do everything she could to stop their atrocities... While making up her mind, she quickly bandaged the wound of the unconscious girl in her arms, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her life was not in danger.

As they advanced rapidly, the entire city was filled with terrified roars in unfamiliar languages. The people of Kunyang could not understand why the machines, which had been loyal for so long, would suddenly attack them. They were intoxicated in the bloody pleasure the moment before, and the next moment their bodies were cut open by the instruments around them, their own blood and flesh splattered on the corpses of the slaves.

"Serves you right,"

Oze Misaki couldn't help but curse in a low voice with satisfaction, and when they were about to reach the chapel, she suddenly saw many Kunyang people pouring out of the tall building in front of her. They didn't care about the death of their own kind, and their faces were full of arrogance and coldness. At the same time, Ruomai's voice came from an instrument beside her.

"Be careful! I could have seized the chapel's authority, but they spotted me first and immediately inserted Uehara Himari into the data center. Now her body is constantly shattering, and the accumulated dust is severely interfering with the building's energy core... It's about to explode, and everyone in this city will die."
