But at the same time that Ozawa Misaki breathed a sigh of relief, the twitching mechanical insect suddenly seemed to have sensed something. It pumped Misaki's blood into its body, and a moment later, it instantly gave up its sharp, aggressive limbs, and its softer and more agile body jumped out of the shell. Before Misaki could react, it instantly crawled onto her back, tearing open her flesh and trying to drill into it.

"Damn it, get out of here!"

Ozawa Misaki almost fell down due to the severe pain, but her right hand still desperately grabbed the tail of the mechanical insect, roaring and fighting against its power. Her arm was cut into pieces in an instant, but Misaki also trembled without relaxing, and crushed the last bit of thinking unit on its tail.

"hiss!"

The mechanical worm seemed to have lost its independent consciousness. It suddenly and violently unfolded its body, cut off Misaki's arm and drilled into her body. She only felt unimaginable pain coming from her spinal cord. She completely lost the ability to control her body and fell heavily to the ground. Her face was twisted to the limit due to extreme pain. At the same time, Minato Yukina also reacted. She leaned over worriedly and wanted to pull the mechanical worm out, but unexpectedly found that it had merged with her spine.

"Wait, it doesn't seem to be trying to kill you, but is actually transforming you in some way? This process is too delicate. Wait a moment, Misaki. If I use magic, it might kill you instead. I'll use the data core to control it and leave."

Yukina Minato quickly took out the block. She pointed it at Misaki and subconsciously confirmed the positions of Ayako and Rinko, but the information she got in response made her stunned.

"Rinko is nearby? And Ako... is already dead? How is this possible..."

"Yukina..."

At this moment, the weak voice of Rinko Shirogane suddenly came from the other side. Minato Yukina quickly turned her head, used magic to stabilize Misaki's life, and rushed over quickly. After seeing Rinko covered in blood, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, knelt tremblingly and weakly beside the girl, and leaned over to hug her body with tears.

"Rinko...why did you become like this? Who did this? Who?!"

"It was mygo... Yukina, Ako... was eaten. Chihaya Aine ate Ako, she ate Ako right in front of me..."

Shirogane Rinko trembled and tried her best to squeeze out a painful sound, while her pale face was full of mad hatred. She desperately held Yukina's hand, her head was dizzy but she tried her best to maintain consciousness, and spoke in a low voice with pleading and crying.

"Yukina, help Ako get revenge, kill Chihaya Aine, kill everyone in Mygo, please..."

"I will... I definitely will, Rinko, don't worry, I will definitely help you and Ako get revenge... I will never let them go."

Minato Yukina clenched her teeth and responded slowly and coldly while using magic to heal her. After hearing her assurance, Shirogane Rinko gradually relaxed and closed her eyes, and her consciousness fell completely into darkness.

"Mygo, Chihaya Aine..."

Minato Yukina hugged her tightly, muttering the object of her hatred through gritted teeth. At the same time, she felt her vision blurred by tears again. She hurriedly wiped away her tears with trembling force, turning all her sadness and pain into extreme hatred.

Ako, Ako... I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry, Lisa gave her life for all of us, but I couldn't protect you and Rinko. I'm sorry... I'm sorry...

But please rest assured... I will make them pay the price, no matter how much I have to endure, I will definitely avenge you... I will never let them go, never.

"despair,"

At this time, on the other side, Misaki Ozawa also trembled as she held the data core. She tried to use it to control the mechanical worm in her body, but found that the fusion program between it and herself could no longer be interrupted, otherwise she would die immediately.

"What a headache..."

She sighed deeply, and with great effort, she took out a bandage to wrap around the bleeding end of her right arm. Then, she used the data core to connect to the Upper String Heart's spell, extending a space channel large enough for her to leave, and used her last bit of strength to activate the teleportation.

There was no other way. If she stayed here any longer, she would lose blood and pass out... At least, she had tried her best, and she had saved someone this time. She had really done something this time.

It's a pity that she couldn't save more people. She clearly wanted to protect Tsugumi Hazawa, but she still died, and Yukina Minato's friends also lost their lives... Why, every time she thought the world couldn't be more hopeless, it always proved her wrong?

Misaki Ozawa looked helplessly at the chaotic underground city. As she was about to faint and be teleported away, she closed her eyes tiredly and her expression became extremely bitter.

...If only, when I open my eyes again, everything can go back to the way it was before.

Chapter 338 Lost

"Lan! Lan!"

In the world of the soul, Fei Ma Li desperately pushed away the chaos and darkness that blocked her way, and stretched out her hand to the familiar figure in front of her, but the other party did not stop at all, and continued to walk step by step towards the dark forest in front.

"Lan...don't leave me, please..."

Seeing that her friend's soul was gradually melting away, Fei Mali whimpered and roared, wanting to rush forward, but Meizhulan's hatred for her turned into layers of cold flesh and blood, completely blocking her way. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break through in a short time.

Fei Mali could only watch in despair as Mizukuran's back gradually disappeared into the distance, and when she was about to collapse, a pleasant and familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Do you need my help, Scarlet Mary?"

As the voice appeared, flesh and chaos suddenly froze. Fei Mali was stunned for a moment and quickly turned her head. When she saw the white-haired girl beside her, she couldn't help but hold her hand in surprise and almost knelt down to her.

"I beg you, I'm willing to pay any price, please, don't let Lan's soul be taken away, please..."

"Any price, huh? But you belong to Kwache Utaus now. I can take things from you, but that would be a bit troublesome."

Miyashiro Orie shrugged, and while Himari looked desperate, she suddenly smiled.

"However, I think I can remind you what to do... Since Mizukuri is seeking power from gauze because of her subconscious hatred for you, you can awaken her from the void by simply donning the skin of Tsugumi Hazawa... As for how you can accomplish this, I think there's probably only one way."

She raised her hand to gesture to the other side, and when Feimali turned her head, Bailu Qiansheng, who had barely regained his sanity, appeared in her sight.

"Dlapore's bloodline is always obsessed with love and madness, and Bailu Qiansheng is even more distressed by the death of her friends. If you want to disguise your soul, then you have to take away her memories of Maruyama Aya and Hikawa Hina. They are filled with her extreme emotions and can help you forge your own soul."

At this point, Miyashiro Orie suddenly smiled and shrugged, her voice filled with interested anticipation.

"But she cares about these memories just as much. If you take them away, I think she'll go crazy... But you're willing to do anything for your friends, right?"

"You're right... For Lan, I'm willing to do anything, no matter how many people it hurts."

Uehara Himari gritted her teeth and responded softly, while in reality, Bailu Qiansheng was also panting and gradually regaining consciousness. As soon as she looked up, she saw that Eve's arm was torn by herself and was covered in blood. After a moment of shock, she couldn't help but tremble, and her voice was filled with sobs again.

"I'm sorry, Eve, I didn't mean to do that..."

"Don't be sad, Qiansheng, it's just a minor injury."

Eve slowed her voice and tried to comfort him. At the same time, she realized that the teleportation restrictions had collapsed along with the city. She raised her hand and summoned a flickering portal.

"Let's go, Qiansheng. There's no need for us to stay here anymore. Let's leave quickly."

"Um……"

"Wait! Please wait a moment!"

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard urgent shouts from behind. Bai Lu Qiansheng subconsciously turned around, and after seeing Toyokawa Shoko and the others clearly, she couldn't help but be alert and quickly condensed a shield.

"Toyokawa Shoko, even after all this, you still won't let us go?"

"You misunderstood, Miss Bai Lu. I just wanted to seek your help."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed, and at the same time, she took Wakaba Mu's hand and took a step closer to her. Qiansheng saw the yellow mark that was about to form on the collarbone of the light green-haired girl, realized something, and relaxed a little.

"You want me to help her adjust her mental state so that Hastur can no longer lock onto her existence, right?"

"That's right. We can't use other means to rudely block it. If we do that, Hastur will definitely increase his strength, and the speed at which the Yellow Seal forms will also increase... Please, Miss Shiraha, we can't lose Mu. I know we've fought before, but I really need your help, please..."

Toyokawa Shoko bowed her head and pleaded sincerely, and Bailu Qiansheng could only sigh and nodded silently.

"I'm here to help you. After all, I fought you just to find shelter. But this city has been completely destroyed, and all my efforts are meaningless... Let her come here. I'll put the part of her consciousness that needs rest the most into a deep sleep."

"Thank you for agreeing to help, Miss Bai Lu."

Shoko Toyokawa nodded vigorously in gratitude, and hurriedly pulled Wakaba Mutsu and walked quickly to the front of Qiansheng. As the latter raised his hand towards the girl, Feimali also reached out to her soul.

"Bear with it for a while, it might be a little... Wait, what... is going on?"

Bai Lu Qiansheng spoke softly, but just when she was halfway through her words, her vision suddenly flickered. At the same time, a cold sense of panic quickly permeated her whole body, as if something important of hers was being taken away.

"No, don't do this, please..."

She covered her head with her hands trembling, and just as Toyokawa Shoko was about to ask something in a daze, the musical notes suddenly appeared beside them and exploded, hitting their shields.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Bailu Qiansheng was not affected by the explosion, but seemed to be in extreme pain of another level, wailing and screaming. Toyokawa Shoko subconsciously let the silver light cover her eyes, and saw that Feimali's soul was gritting her teeth to pull out a large amount of warm memories from Qiansheng's body, and hurriedly tried to gather strength to stop her.

"Uehara Himari! Stop right now..."

"mygo! mujica!"

Minato Tomoki's furious roar interrupted Xiangzi. She turned her head instinctively, and a large number of restless notes came into her eyes. Their number almost formed an ocean, and at the source was Minato Tomoki's cold face full of anger.

"You were the ones... who killed Ayako, right? Rinko told me that you had Chihaya Aine eat her alive... Why? Why did you do that?"

"Minato Yukina, calm down first. Mu can't be disturbed right now, and we don't want to kill your friends..."

"Calm down? Ha, since you've already admitted that you did it, why should I talk to you?"

Minato Yukina sneered, and a sea of ​​musical notes quickly flew over. Toyokawa Shoko quickly released silver light, but still could not completely intercept them. One of them directly tore open Mu's body.

With her recovery ability, this was originally just an insignificant injury... However, the deep hatred in the musical notes also traveled through Mu to Qiansheng's mind. The mental spell that she had barely managed to maintain stability instantly went out of control, and an invisible mental storm instantly rushed into Ruoye Mu's mind.

"Look out! mortis!"

The dollhouse that was visualized in the heart was violently destroyed, and when the girl was about to be swallowed up, "Mu" held her in his arms without hesitation, letting the mental storm tear his body apart, letting large amounts of memories full of blood and gloom flow out.

"Mu...why are you protecting me?"

The girl looked at her in a daze, and Ruo Yemu also forced a helpless smile and gently patted the girl's hat.

"Is this even necessary? Regardless of whether you or I were born first, as long as someone is Ruoye Mu, she will protect the other person... We already made this agreement a long time ago, didn't we?"

"But... you didn't have to do this. If I died, you could become the one and only Wakaba Mu..."

The girl hugged her body tightly and sobbed softly incomprehensibly, while "Mu" just shook his head gently and patted her back soothingly.

"Don't cry, Mortis. I have no interest in monopolizing a body... Life is so difficult and painful. If I have to face it alone, how can I hold on?"

"But... unfortunately, you'll probably have to face all of this alone from now on. I'm sorry, mortis, I can't be Wakaba Mu anymore to help you share the burden... your husband has already found us."

"Mu" sighed and smiled bitterly, and her eyes became determined. She tore off the yellow mark that was about to form on Mortis's collarbone and integrated it into her own body, allowing the complete yellow mark to take shape on her body.

"No! Don't do this! Let me be taken away! Let me be Wakaba Mu!"

The girl opened her eyes wide and subconsciously reached out to her, but her palm went straight through "Mu"'s body. The latter looked at her with helplessness and reluctance, and gently raised his hand to touch her hat.

"Don't be sad, Mortis. You've shouldered so much for me for so long, so of course I should go to Aldebaran in your place... From now on, you are Wakaba Mu, and you are also Mortis. The former is no longer a mere symbol of suffering, and the latter is no longer a pure haven... From my death, you will be reborn, and that is the best thing for me."

As she spoke, her dress gradually turned into a pure white wedding gown. The dazzling light of Aldebaran appeared in the underground city, and the shadow of the light green-haired girl separated from Mu's body and was firmly bound by the light.

"No!"

Wakaba Mu cried and tried desperately to hold her hand, but he was unable to do so. The girl looked at him with complicated and nostalgic expression, and at the last moment when she was pulled away by the light, she trembled and uttered words of blessing.

"Morti"

I'm sorry for leaving you alone to face this cruel world... But even if reality is so cold, I hope you can find your own happiness, defeat the pain, and hold on to your own light."

"Spend the rest of your life for me, and don't grieve because of me... From that distant star Aldebaran, I will always be watching over you."

The girl's shadow disappeared into the light, and even though Toyokawa Shoko and the others wanted to stop it, their strength was blocked by Minato Yukina and Hikawa Sayo. Wakaba Mu tried desperately to chase after his other self, but his legs were cut off by the aftermath of the spell. He fell to the ground and reached out to the dazzling light with tears in his eyes.

However, no matter how she prayed, Aldebaran continued to disappear bit by bit, leaving behind the girl covered in blood, staring blankly at the dim dome, feeling the strange and terrifying loneliness, and muttering in despair.

"Mu, mortis, don't leave me..."

"Mu! Be careful!"

The next moment, a large number of musical notes rushed towards the fallen girl. Wakaba Mu turned his head back in confusion, and Toyokawa Shoko hurriedly stood in front of her. Even though her body was cut by the musical notes, she did not retreat. The blue-haired girl burst out with all her strength to erase them, then hurriedly leaned over to hug Mu, and began to cry tremblingly.

"Mu, are you okay?! I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well, I'm sorry..."

"Xiang...don't cry."

Wakaba Mutsu subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away her tears, and after hearing this familiar name, Toyokawa Shoko opened her eyes wide in surprise and quickly helped her up from the ground.

"Mu...you're the Mu I know, right? It wasn't you who just left. You're still here, which means you won't be taken away...is that right? Mu?"

"Well, Mu, or rather Mortis, was taken away in my place... Now, for the first time, I'm feeling so alone..."

Wakaba Mutsu spoke softly with trembling voice, and Toyokawa Shoko hugged her tightly with complicated and grateful feelings. She felt the precious warmth in his arms, and he whispered comfort in her ear.

"It's okay, Mu, I will always be by your side. We will all be with you, don't worry."

At the same time, the others gradually suppressed Yukina Minato and Sayo Hikawa. Even if they attacked frantically, the gap in numbers and strength still put them at a disadvantage.

Just as Tomoki Minato was about to be torn apart by Riki's spatial ripples, the trapezoidal octahedron suddenly blocked her attack and teleported all the people in Roselia away.

"It was Xian Juanxin who took action... She is related to Naya. It is not appropriate for us to engage in a head-on battle with her now. We should leave here first."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed, whispered something, and let the silver light cover everyone. As they were about to leave, Wakamiya Eve rushed up and grabbed Shoko's hand.

"Wait! Ms. Fengchuan, please help Qiansheng. Feimali's soul cannot be destroyed because of her contract. Even if I wanted to help, I can't do anything. I can only watch her hurt Qiansheng... Please, the power of Yug's descendants will definitely stop her. Considering that Qiansheng just agreed to help you, please stop Feimali quickly!"

"...I'm sorry, Miss Wakamiya, but Himari's actions this time were supported by the incarnation of Naya, so there's nothing I can do."

After looking at Miyashiro Orie who was smiling at her quietly in the soul space, Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips and shook her head silently. Wakamiya Eve couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard her words, and the next moment Toyokawa Shoko and the others disappeared from her sight.

"Ahhhhhh! No, no, don't take Xiaocai and Hina away, no..."

The collapsed scream of her best friend behind her brought Eve back to reality. Trembling, she quickly rushed to Qiansheng who was kneeling on the ground. While leaning over and hugging her tightly, Eve also stared at Feimali's soul that was tearing Qiansheng apart, and slowly squeezed out a sound through gritted teeth.

"Uehara Himari... stop immediately, or I will kill your friend in the most brutal way possible. I will definitely do it!"

"Hahahaha, I even killed Tsugumi Hanazawa myself, do you think I care about this?"

Hearing her threat, Fei Ma Li's breathing instinctively stopped for a moment, but a moment later she realized how crazy she looked in the eyes of others, and turned her gaze to Eve with a wild laugh. The latter was speechless for a moment, completely at a loss as to how to deal with this monster who no longer cared about his friends.

That's right, as long as I continue to disguise myself like this, others won't threaten me with Lan and the others... This way, they can be as safe as possible... I must continue to indulge in madness, or at least, I must let others think that I am such a guy.
