mygo, but Cthulhu

"In the end, you took the initiative to deflect the gun... Youya, you think they are innocent, right?"

Yuya Yujia sighed and asked softly with an expressionless face, and Youya nodded subconsciously.

"Sister Youjia, she didn't do anything at all. Please, at least let her go..."

The next moment, Youjia's fist hit Youya's face hard. She fell to the ground with a blank mind and only felt a buzzing in her ears. It took her a long time to recover.

Consciousness returned, and he instinctively touched his face and saw that his hands were covered in blood from his nose.

"It hurts, doesn't it? Youya, remember this, this world is very dangerous. Enemies won't just punch you, they'll tear your flesh and chop off your head. If you don't have determination and strength, you'll just become a corpse."

Yu Gu Youjia leaned over and stared at her with a confused face, spoke calmly and softly, then raised his hand to signal the woman in front of him.

"You think she's innocent, but her crime is extremely serious. She dared to oppose the company and our beloved Senior Xin. So she must die. Remember what I told you? If the company collapses as well, what will we gain?"

"We...we will only get a scorched earth. Foreign forces will no longer have any scruples. They will use us as materials, and the out-of-control monsters will tear us to pieces."

Yuya trembled as she tried to squeeze out the answer she had recited many times, and Youjia nodded slightly, then reached out to help her up and asked the question again seriously.

"So, do you understand now? We are not committing a crime. On the contrary, we are maintaining order. In this terrifying world, the company is our last pillar of support. We will not tolerate even the slightest threat."

"Kill her, Youya, and don't miss this time."

"..."

Youya nodded slightly in a trance and raised the gun weakly. The pain was still tormenting her, but she had gradually become numb and gave up thinking as she prepared to pull the trigger.

"Stop it!"

The next moment, a familiar furious voice suddenly came, which made Yuya stunned for a moment. She subconsciously wanted to look back, and then she was knocked to the ground by Ozawa Misaki who rushed over at high speed. After recognizing her, Amaya Yujia was stunned for a moment, and then her face was also hit by Misaki's heavy punch. Her nose bone was instantly broken, and she fell heavily to the ground in blood and dizziness, and the familiar distorted face quickly appeared in her confused vision, full of incomprehensible pain and anger.

"Why?! Yu Gu Youjia?! You are the vice-captain. Even if I wasn't here, you should have refused all this. But what did you do?! You actually led everyone to slaughter so many people?! Are you crazy?!"

"I'm not crazy, I'm sober!"

Yuya Yuka gritted her teeth and roared in response, showing no sign of weakness even though she was firmly suppressed by Misaki. Her blood-stained face was full of determined anger.

"Senior Misaki, I understand you don't want to kill these people, but they are opposition elements. Since Senior Kokoro has given the order, then of course we shouldn't have any hesitation. Killing is the foundation of order!"

"The massacre of innocent people cannot create any order! If there is any order, it only proves that such order is madness!"

Misaki Ozawa raised her voice in extreme anger. She grabbed Yuka's collar and dragged her up from the ground, while her face twisted as she raised her hand and pointed at the endless corpses around her.

"Look at what you and everyone else have done! Do you think this is right? We should make this world a better place, not let it continue to be drowned in the blood of innocent people! What's the difference between what you did and those bloody crosses?!"

"The difference is, we don't do all this for sex or desire. As you said, we are making this world a better place!"

Yujia Amaya roared loudly, and after a moment of silence, Misaki Ozawa began to tremble with crazy anger. She pinched Yujia's throat hard, stared into her determined eyes, and slowly squeezed out the sound through gritted teeth.

"Tell me again, massacring tens of thousands of people is to make the world a better place? When has beauty ever come at the cost of so many deaths? Do you still have even a shred of sanity?!"

"Ahem... Ever since the world has become like this, we have to do this, Misaki-senpai. Shin-senpai's orders will not be wrong."

Amidst suffocation and pain, Yujia Amaya was still trying her best to squeeze out a sound, and Ozawa Misaki was almost consumed by incomprehensible rage at this time. The heavy smell of blood in the air reminded her of the crimes committed by Yujia, making her unable to think of anything, and she just kept increasing the strength of her hands.

"Misaki-senpai! Let go of Yuka! You're strangling her to death!"

Yuka Amaya's face twisted and she struggled desperately in pain. The people around her tried to pull Ozawa Misaki away in a panic, but the latter could no longer hear their voices and roared furiously.

"Yujia! Apologize to the people you killed! I will let you go if you admit that what you did was wrong!"

"no way……"

Despite being on the verge of death, Yuya Yuka still spoke slowly and tremblingly. Her voice made Ozawa Misaki feel as if a string in her mind was completely broken. Just as she couldn't control herself and wanted to strangle her throat, the sound of a gunshot suddenly pierced her eardrum.

"boom,"

Misaki's left wrist was pierced by a bullet, and her strength was weakened for a moment. The other girls reacted and seized the opportunity to pull her away. Amaya Yuka whimpered and coughed. Her neck was almost deformed by Misaki's pinching, and the dark blue finger marks were still deeply imprinted on her throat.

"Ahem...Yuya?"

As she reluctantly looked up, she saw the girl holding the rifle with a blank expression. After realizing that it was the girl who saved her, she couldn't help but make a sound subconsciously, and the girl was brought back to reality by her cry. She walked over quickly in panic, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Yujia was okay. Then she turned her head with a complicated look at Misaki who was glaring at her with gritted teeth, her voice full of fatigue.

"Misaki-senpai...did you just want to kill Yuka-nee? Why?"

"You ask me why? Isn't the answer obvious? She killed so many innocent people. They shouldn't have died here..."

"I've killed many people, but I hesitated when faced with that woman holding a baby. It's not just me. Everyone has killed countless innocent people. That woman is the last one, Misaki-senpai."

Yuya interrupted her softly, and Misaki couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She looked around at the piles of corpses around her, and the anger on her face gradually turned into deep fatigue and despair. She closed her eyes, and after a while she squeezed out a trembling voice.

"Why? Why are you doing this? Just because the heart gave the order, you have to go to such lengths? The you I know would never do such a thing..."

"We've all changed, Misaki-senpai. You weren't at school that day. Even if you saw it, you still can't imagine what we went through."

With the help of others, Yuya Yuka struggled to get up. After gasping for a while, she tried to squeeze out a hoarse voice and met Misaki's painful gaze without caring about the pain in her neck.

"That day, those lunatics rushed in without warning, tearing my friends apart. Kayoko saved the most people, but I was too late to save her... After the iron gates closed, we all collapsed and huddled in the corner. The familiar wailing outside lingered for a long, long time... Only then did I realize that the order I was accustomed to was actually ridiculously fragile. Madness could easily destroy it, plunging us into the deepest despair."

"But, Shin-senpai changed all that. Misaki-senpai, we don't respect her so much because of the money she gave us, but because of the order she could bring. The company's rule is evil in the eyes of these opponents, but they have no idea how far the crazy disaster can go.

To that extent, they think they can return to the good old society...but the truth is, we can't go back, no one can go back."

Yu Gu Youjia coughed up a mouthful of blood with a trembling voice, then turned to look at the woman who was crying softly beside her. The latter couldn't help but tremble when she felt her gaze. After hesitating for a moment, she put the baby aside, staggered forward and knelt in front of Youjia, her face full of pleading.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have opposed you. I'm willing to die here... But please, can you help me take care of my little daughter? My eldest daughter and husband have lost contact with me. I really just want her to live..."

"I'm sorry, although we can spare her life, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive in this world. We don't have time to take care of her. Everyone right now is doing their best to survive, and no one would be interested in taking care of someone else's child."

Yuka responded softly and indifferently, but when Yuya hurriedly tried to say something, Ozawa Misaki spoke without hesitation.

"I can help you take care of her."

"Also, I don't recommend handing your child over to someone else, ma'am. No one can guarantee what will happen next. If you take your child with you to die, then at least you can have some closure. But what if the Blood Cross erupts again? Those lunatics have no bottom line. They'll boil your child alive."

Yuka ignored Misaki's words and continued calmly, nodding slightly at the desperate-looking woman.

"Of course, this is just a pessimistic possibility, but we can't deny its existence. You can choose to hand your child over to Misaki-senpai, but you can't be sure of his fate... In my opinion, a quick and clean death is actually better."

"Yugu Youjia!"

Misaki Ozawa roared angrily, and when she wanted to grab Youjia's collar again, the woman suddenly smiled miserably, as if she had lost all her life, and nodded with a dead look in her eyes.

"You're right. My wish for this child to live is just selfish. In this terrible world, she's more likely to die in pain... In that case, I might as well take her with me."

"No, ma'am, please believe me, I will..."

"I appreciate your kindness... but you can't really guarantee anything, can you?"

Misaki opened her eyes wide and tried to stop her, but the woman just shook her head weakly. She pulled out the dagger from her waist and pierced the baby's head without hesitation before Misaki rushed over, then cut her own throat with force.

"No!"

Misaki Ozawa screamed madly. She caught the woman's body falling to the ground and sobbed uncontrollably. The woman looked at her weakly and complicatedly. She raised her hand with the last bit of strength to wipe away Misaki's tears, and then her palm fell into a pool of blood. Her eyes quickly lost their luster and her body gradually became cold.

"..."

Ozawa Misaki hugged her body tightly. After a moment of silence, her face was twisted to the extreme and she slowly turned to look at Amaya Yuka, her ferocious eyes filled with incomprehensible anger.

"Why did you say that to her? Even if she had to die, she could have died with hope... Why did you take her life and not even give her this last bit of hope?!"

"I was just stating the facts, Misaki-senpai. I didn't force her to make a choice. She simply realized that what I said was right and lost her unrealistic hope in this world."

Yujia Amaya responded calmly and softly, and Misaki Ozawa laughed out of anger. She gently placed the woman's body aside, then stared into Yujia's eyes and suddenly stood up. As she took a step, her prosthetic arm unfolded a thermal blade, instantly evaporating a drop of blood on it.

"Yes, what you said is correct, but she doesn't need this so-called correctness. Even if it's a lie, she just needs a little hope. And you let her choose suicide like this... Yu Gu Youjia, do you understand what you have done?"

"Lies are meaningless, Misaki-senpai. Your pain over these people's deaths is also meaningless, as is your sadness over her death. The only meaning lies in the new order created by the company."

Yuya Yuka responded softly, and Ozawa Misaki no longer had any interest in arguing with her. The pain and collapse made her want to fight desperately. Her words could not convince her classmates, so she could only use violence.

But when Ozawa Misaki was about to rush forward, her body was suddenly hit by something. She was stunned for a moment and quickly lowered her head, and saw a girl with a dull expression. She seemed not to see Misaki, staggered past her, then knelt beside the woman's body, and squeezed out a sound weakly.

"Mother……"

However, making such a weak sound seemed to be the limit of this frail girl. She hugged the corpse tightly with trembling hands, tears covering her tender face, and whimpering like a little animal that had lost everything.

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Ozawa Misaki sighed tiredly. She glanced at Youjia indifferently, then put away her thermal knife and walked to the girl. But when she wanted to say something, she found that the girl had fainted. Her face was pale and sickly, her body was twitching slightly, and her breathing quickly became weak.

Misaki Ozawa opened her eyes wide and quickly leaned over to give her first aid, but she soon discovered that the girl's condition was caused by a serious illness. She found a bottle of medicine that had been used up long ago from her pocket, and after realizing that this was a special medicine for treating heart disease, she couldn't help but freeze in place, with powerless despair gradually appearing on her face.

Given the girl's poor condition, even if she rushed her to the hospital as quickly as possible, she probably wouldn't be able to save her... Was there really no other way?

"Misaki, I can help her."

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. Misaki looked up subconsciously and gritted her teeth when she saw the blonde girl. However, the girl's weak breathing reminded her of the most important thing at the moment. She couldn't help but sigh deeply, and tried her best to suppress the incomprehensible anger in her heart, and changed the question into a request.

"Xin, let's put our affairs aside for now. Please save her first. I beg you."

"Of course I can save her... But I hope you can let this matter go and come back to the company with me."

Genmaki Shin stared at her and whispered her request, while Ozawa Misaki also clenched her fists at this time. She looked around at the corpses around her, gritted her teeth and looked down at the trembling girl in her arms, her heart full of painful hesitation.

Giving up on pursuing this matter would be equivalent to letting her ignore the loss of tens of thousands of lives. Both Marina and Miss Rinrinko sacrificed themselves so that she could escape. She had fought until today to protect more people, but now she has to accept this condition?

"Mother……"

In a trance, the painful whimpering sound suddenly brought Misaki back to reality. She reacted and quickly lowered her head, and saw that the girl was still crying even when she was dying. Her face was extremely pale, and she was drowned bit by bit by illness and sadness.

Ozawa Misaki... what are you hesitating about? The dead can't be brought back, but at least you can still save a life. There's no need to think about the choice!

"I promise you, save her quickly."

Ozawa Misaki took a deep breath and raised her head resolutely.

She turned her head to look at Xian Juanxin, who was also stunned by her gaze. She pursed her lips with a complicated expression, sighed, and let the light of the trapezoidal octahedron cover the girl. Her condition quickly stabilized and her breathing became steady again.

"Her congenital heart disease is very serious. To prevent Naya's power from turning her into a monster, I can't cure her disease directly. The safest way is to replace her heart with a prosthetic one."

At the same time that Ozawa Misaki breathed a sigh of relief, Genmaki Shin's voice slowly rang out. She hugged the girl's body tiredly, unwilling to meet those familiar yet unfamiliar golden eyes again, and just responded coldly and softly.

"As long as you can cure her, I'm willing to agree to any conditions you have... Xian Juanxin."

Chapter 352 AI named Amoris

Chihaya Aine wearily swallowed the last piece of human flesh in her mouth, trying to ignore the innocent man's screams before dying, and sighed deeply.

Her essence has become a monster that feeds on humans... Even though corpses are easy to find, they have no effect on her. Only living people can satisfy her hunger.

With the encouragement of her friends, she crushed her guilt and pain bit by bit, turning them into numb indifference. She knew she had no choice but to do this because she couldn't let her friends down for what they had done for her... Even if it would become so terrifying, she was willing to do it.

After she raised her hand and pushed open the door, Chihaya Aine saw that the five people from Mujica were already sitting on the sofa, obviously waiting for them. Toyokawa Shoko frowned slightly and looked over here. After glancing at the blood at the corner of Aine's mouth, she spoke softly.

"You guys went out with Aine to help her find food, didn't you?"

"Yes, you seem a little dissatisfied. Do you think we shouldn't do this?"

Shiina Riki glanced at Wakami who was silently repairing her body beside her and responded coldly, while Toyokawa Shoko just shook her head, stood up calmly and met her gaze.

"I've already told you before, Riki, I won't interfere with your actions until Aine goes completely crazy... But that doesn't mean you can attack my teammates at will."

"Oh, casual?"

Li Xi sneered, then raised his finger and pointed at Yutenji Wakamaki with a cold expression.

"Do you know what she said to Aine? When we arrived, Aine was about to collapse, but she kept on blabbering on and on. She did such a thing, and we were already very merciful by just destroying her body. After all, she was just an AI."

"I must remind you again, Lixi, she is AI, but she is also a member of Mujica. She is my friend. If you continue to disrespect her like this, then I will not be able to tolerate it any longer."

At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but frown, and Li Xi walked up to her without showing any weakness, staring at her golden eyes coldly, and his voice also became cold.

"So, what are you going to do, Toyokawa Shoko? Are you going to take action? Are you going to fight us again for this AI, the murderer of Deng? Come on if you want to."

"Calm down, Lixi, Xiangzi didn't mean that."

Before Toyokawa Shoko could respond, Hachiman Kairei quickly stood up and stood between them. She sighed and spoke sincerely to Li Xi, then turned back to look at Shoko seriously.

"Xiangzi, I think you need to control your emotions a little. Although Ruomai didn't want Deng to die, her suicide is indeed closely related to her... Lixi has her reasons for identifying her as the murderer."

"Reason? Ruomai just said one sentence. I am also in great pain because of Deng's death, but I won't lose my mind to the extent that she did, blindly hating others to vent my emotions."

Xiangzi sneered, and Lixi couldn't help but clench her fists. She wanted to say something angrily, but Aiyin quickly blocked her way and shook her head at her tiredly and sadly.

"Rikki, please stop arguing with Xiangzi. What's the point in continuing to argue about this? No matter how much you hate Ruomai, Tomorin can't come back... We can only care about those who are still alive. Please, calm down."

“…You’re right, Aine.”

After a moment of silence, Li Xi nodded silently. She sighed with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, Toyokawa Shoko also spoke softly to break the silence.

"Lixi, I admit that Ruomai was wrong this time. She will apologize to Aine. I also hope that you and Sushi can apologize to her and promise not to attack her like this again next time. Okay?"

"Ok."

Li Xi frowned instinctively after hearing her words, but under Aine's pleading gaze, she could only nod reluctantly, then walked in front of Ruomai and looked down at her coldly.

"Yutenji Wakami, as long as you can promise not to hurt Aine like that again and sincerely apologize to her, we will not attack you again. This is my promise."
