mygo, but Cthulhu

"Heart...why are you doing this?"

"I just don't want what happened to Ikumi to happen again. Kanon, your parents were killed. I'm just avenging you and making those people pay the price they deserve."

"But, Misaki has already killed the murderer..."

"What's the point? Will your parents ever come back?"

Xianjuanxin interrupted Hanane softly. She seemed to be fed up with her friend's questioning. Her expression gradually became cold. She walked in front of the girl and stared into her painful eyes filled with tears.

"Hana, tell me, if I were killed by those people, would you avenge me?"

"I will definitely avenge you, Xin, but it's impossible that tens of thousands of people murdered my parents. Your massacre is really too much..."

Hanane spoke anxiously with tears in her eyes, but there was still only coldness and determination in her golden eyes. Under her gaze, Hanane's voice gradually weakened until it was interrupted. The girl began to tremble, while Xianjuanxin spoke slowly and calmly, his tone unquestionable as if he was expounding the truth.

"Hana, I have no choice but to do this. They are the most opposed to the company. They are against my power, the power I use to protect you, and I cannot tolerate even the slightest threat... Do you understand me?"

"me……"

Under the gaze of those golden eyes, Matsubara Kanon could hardly make a sound. At this moment, she felt unprecedented strangeness towards her friend. She stood there blankly in fear and confusion, with only tears quietly streaming down her face.

"...Xin, even if you think your decision is correct, wouldn't there be any consequences if you just slaughtered tens of thousands of people?"

After a moment of silence, Seta Kaoru spoke softly with a tired expression, and Genmaki Shin just chuckled casually.

"Consequences? What consequences will there be? I have already reached an agreement with those countries that control order. Tokyo now belongs to the company. The people here no longer have the so-called right to protection. I can do whatever I want. The laws are now made by me and the other companies."

"Kaoru, I know it's hard for you and Kanon to accept all this right now, but you should adjust your mindsets as soon as possible. You are my friends, which means you have extremely high status and power in Tokyo. You can order my employees around and make them meet all your demands... because this city belongs to the company."

"..."

Kanon and Kaoru both fell silent. They looked at Genmaki Shin with tiredness and confusion. They wanted to say something weakly, but in the end they could only sigh silently. Before Genmaki Shin was about to speak, Misaki's cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Xin, turn around for a moment."

"What's wrong? Misaki..."

"Boom,"

The next second, Misaki's fist hit Xin's smiling face hard. She fell heavily to the ground in pain and dizziness. When she opened her eyes subconsciously, blood flowed from the wound on her forehead and dripped into her eyes, staining the hideous face in her vision with scarlet.

"Misaki..."

"Now, are you awake? If this can make you more awake, I am happy to continue helping you."

Misaki grabbed her collar and lifted her up, staring into her bloodshot golden eyes, gritting her teeth and squeezing out words bit by bit. The blonde girl stared at her for a moment and then chuckled. She raised her hand and waved vigorously at the black-clad men who rushed in anxiously, signaling them not to come over, while speaking calmly to her friend.

"I still stick to my opinion, Misaki. I did nothing wrong. Even if you let me choose again, I would still do the same thing."

As she finished her words, a fist hit her face again. Xianjuanxin felt that her teeth were shattered and her tongue was cut by the broken tooth roots. Her body trembled instinctively because of the pain. Saliva mixed with blood dripped onto her collar and soaked Misaki's hands.

"You don't regret it? You killed so many people and ended up like this, and you tell me you don't regret it?!"

Misaki was also in tears at this time. She roared in pain and anger, and pressed Xian Juanxin against the wall with anger. At this moment, the latter clearly heard the sound of her bones breaking, but she still endured the pain, forced a smile, and nodded vigorously.

"Yeah, I don't regret it."

Another punch, Misaki's strength increased again with the surge of disappointment, pain and hatred. Genmaki also heard the sound of something being crushed in an instant. She subconsciously wanted to open her eyes, but felt the shattered eyeball sliding from her left eye socket. At the same time, her vision was only blurred. She realized that her left eye was directly blown up.

"Cough cough cough..."

She wanted to make a sound, but at this moment she could not even stand. After Misaki let go of her hand, she fell to the ground powerlessly, cerebrospinal fluid and blood flowing out of her broken nasal cavity. She opened her mouth and gasped in pain, like a dying fish.

"That's enough! Misaki! That's enough!"

Misaki wanted to step forward with a cold expression, and at this time Kanon and Kaoru also came back to their senses from their daze. The former hurriedly stood in front of her in panic, and the latter hurriedly took the medicine box handed by the man in black and urgently treated Xin's injuries.

"Get out of the way, Hanane. You heard what she just said! She's not the Kokoro we knew!"

Misaki Ozawa angrily tried to push her away, but Kanon gritted her teeth and held her arms tightly, refusing to let go no matter how she screamed, and wailed in pain.

"I know she's changed a lot, Misaki, and I can understand why you did this... But she's Kokoro after all, and she's our friend. If you keep going like this, she'll really die. Are you going to kill her?!"

"..."

Hearing Hanane's shrill cries, Misaki couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She gradually came back to her senses, and her consciousness, which was about to lose her mind, gradually regained its composure. After realizing that she no longer wanted to go on, Hanane sobbed and hugged her tightly, and spoke tremblingly with desperate pleading.

"Misaki, I know you're angry, but please, don't treat Kokoro like this anymore. She has indeed committed unimaginable sins... But she's still our friend. Are we going to kill her for those innocent people who died? I really can't do it..."

"Don't cry, Hanane. I won't hit her again."

Ozawa Misaki sighed deeply, tired and powerless, and at this time the men in black also anxiously sent the unconscious Senmaki Shin to the operating room. Kaoru hurriedly followed, and Kanon also sighed bitterly at this time, and looked up at Ozawa Misaki with a complicated look.

"sorry,

Misaki, but I really don't want you to have such a serious conflict with Kokoro again... The dead can no longer come back. Kokoro has sacrificed so much for us, we can't abandon her just because of her sins, right? I... I really hope you can discuss this matter with her calmly, please.

"..."

Misaki Ozawa didn't say anything, and after hesitating for a moment, Kanon turned around and quickly followed the men in black. After the hurried footsteps faded away, Misaki Ozawa and the girl were the only ones left in the ward.

She stared blankly at the pool of blood left by Xin for a moment, then couldn't help but smile bitterly. Filled with indescribable pain, Misaki sat down dejectedly on the chair, feeling confused and her mind was full of vague sadness and despair. The smiling face of Xin Genmaki covered with blood and her pure smile from the past kept flashing before her eyes, making her collapse and cover her head tightly, sobbing helplessly.

"Why...why did everything turn out like this? Xin, why did you do this..."

Her tears stained the blood of her heart on her palms. Misaki murmured to herself in despair, but could not get any answer. When she was almost overwhelmed by her own pain, she suddenly heard a dazed and weak voice.

"Sister, are you okay?"

"You...are you awake?"

Ozawa Misaki was stunned for a moment and quickly wiped away her tears. She turned around and saw that the girl on the hospital bed had opened her eyes and was looking at her with worry and confusion.

"Sister, you are sad, why?"

"I...I had a little conflict with my friend."

Under her gaze, Ozawa Misaki couldn't help but respond in a low voice. She sighed tiredly and responded weakly after organizing her words.

"She's completely different than before, and she's done something intolerable... I don't know what's wrong with her. I'm in pain and angry. By the time I came to my senses, I'd already hurt her... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this to you."

"It's okay, sister. It will feel better if you talk about painful things."

The girl patted her arm gently, and while Ozawa Misaki felt a little comforted, the girl's calm voice made her eyes widen again.

"My father changed a lot after he was injured while protecting me. A cross-shaped wound appeared on his face. He not only chopped off my friend's head, but also wanted to tear me into pieces... So, I pushed my other sister who saved me in front of him, and then I survived."

"..."

Misaki didn't know what to say for a moment, and the girl slowly turned to look at her, a dead expression on her face.

"Sister, do you think I'm guilty? I've turned my back on the person who saved me... Do you think I deserve to die?"

"…Why did you do that?"

"Because I wanted to live, I didn't want to die, I wanted to find my mother and sister... but in the end I only found their bodies."

The girl shook her head expressionlessly, then she stood up, looked directly at Ozawa Misaki, and spoke quietly and calmly.

"Sister, I actually just woke up, but I couldn't move before. I heard that mom and sister were killed by your friend, right?"

"Sorry……"

"No, you don't need to apologize, sister. Killing is a crime. I think you have a point. Sister Xin is not wrong. Those who possess power have the right to do whatever they want... The world has become like this. Even if I resent something, it is meaningless. Besides, as a murderer, I have no right to seek revenge on her."

The girl smiled, picked up the fruit knife next to her, handed it to Ozawa Misaki, and then said something that made her pupils shrink.

"But not only did I commit murder, I was also powerless. There was no reason for me to escape punishment."

"Kill me, sister. I have always had the curse of my other sister before her death in my mind. She has been cursing me until now. Kill me, so that I can be freed from this torture, and she will be satisfied."

"..."

Misaki Ozawa stared at her blankly, feeling a buzzing in her ears. Seeing that she didn't react, the girl sighed and prepared to cut her throat without hesitation, but then the blade in her hand was gripped forcefully, and she turned around in shock to meet Misaki's face which was twisted in extreme pain.

"Don't do this, please..."

She hugged the girl tightly, sobbing and trembling as she spoke. After enduring so much, she only hoped that her efforts would not be in vain. She also didn't want to see another life pass away before her eyes... She could no longer bear even a little despair.

"Even if you are guilty, even if the victim curses you, killing yourself now will not change anything. The deceased will not know your choice at this moment. You are just giving up on yourself."

"But don't give up... What matters isn't the punishment; what matters is your resolve to atone. As long as you strive to help others, strive to change this damned world, then even if you've killed innocent people, you can still face it... Because giving up won't bring you anything, and living allows you to achieve more."

"...Sister, thank you."

After a moment of silence, the girl gently hugged her. Her voice was no longer dead, but filled with the pain of collapse. Misaki tiredly hugged her tender body and responded softly with tears in her eyes.

"No, I should thank you... Thank you for not dying in front of me. You let me know that my efforts were not in vain... Thank you."

Chapter 354: Kasumi is reluctant to leave

"Come on, Asuka, have an apple."

Toyama Kasumi smiled and handed the peeled apple to her sister, and Asuka nodded relaxedly, took a bite, and handed it to her as well.

"Sister, you eat too."

"it is good."

Toyama Kasumi looked at her tenderly and took a light bite of the apple. She felt every detail of the flesh breaking in her mouth. She felt that this moment was so precious and she almost wished that time could stop.

But then, the noisy footsteps outside the door interrupted her thoughts. Kasumi frowned and turned back subconsciously, and saw in a daze that the men in black carried the blood-covered Senmaki Shin into the operating room. After she came to her senses, she saw that Asuka's face was also full of worry and shock. She couldn't help but sigh and spoke softly.

"I'm going to go out and see what's going on. Asuka, wait for me for a moment."

Her sister nodded subconsciously, and Kasumi quickly walked out of the room. She was about to ask one of the men in black, but the next moment a tired and familiar voice sounded behind her.

"Kasumi, how is Asuka recovering now?"

"It's okay, Dahui. How could Xin-senpai become like that? Did something happen to her? And... why do you look so upset? Did you get into any trouble?"

Kasumi asked as she turned around. When she saw Duohui's gloomy expression full of repression, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and the girl just smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"A lot of things actually happened today... but it's hard for me to explain here. Let's go inside and talk about it. Now that Asuka has almost recovered, she should know what Shin-senpai is like now."

She looked around and made sure no one was paying attention to her. Then she quickly pulled Xiangcheng into the room, locked the door, and whispered to them:

She began to explain, and after she finished recounting the bloody truth, the room fell into silence.

"Duohui, is what you said true? Senior Xin really... ordered the massacre of tens of thousands of people?"

After a moment, Asuka struggled to squeeze out a sound bit by bit, and Hanazono Tae calmly nodded slightly, pursed her lips and asked tentatively.

"Yes, I was also involved... Do you think I am her accomplice?"

"How could we possibly think that? Duohui, you've installed the prosthetics she developed. Even if you wanted to disobey, you'd probably lose your ability to move on the spot... We all know you have no choice, so don't worry about it."

Kasumi responded softly without hesitation, and Tae nodded gratefully, her expression relaxing a little. After a moment's silence, she spoke again seriously.

"Honestly, I think Genmaki Shin has become an extremely terrifying existence. She is completely different from before. She is capable of almost anything now. She can exploit anyone except her friends, and she has almost no bottom line... Kasumi, we must be prepared."

"what do you mean?"

"I've already installed prosthetics, so I can't leave the Xianjuan Group. But you can't stay here any longer. Xianjuanxin's ambition will continue to expand, and she will definitely start a war with other companies. When the time comes, she will use all kinds of means to get you involved... I can't let that happen."

Hanazono Tae sighed, then grabbed Kasumi's shoulders with a determined expression and nodded vigorously.

"Kasumi, your abilities are similar to Hoshi no Cai's. You can take Asuka and the others and leave Japan... Although our information has long been exposed, as long as you can hide in a chaotic area like Southeast Asia, you shouldn't be discovered. Leave this city, and you'll have a chance to live a peaceful life."

"Leave here? But what about you, Duohui? What should you do?"

Kasumi was stunned for a moment and then asked subconsciously, and Duohui's expression became bitter. She raised her hand and pointed at her eyes, hands and feet, then shook her head silently.

"I've already told you, I can't leave. These prosthetics have monitoring programs. Once they confirm I've left Tokyo, they'll malfunction. Even if we can find a way to disable the alarm system, I'll be a blind man unable to move... If you want me to spend the rest of my life like that, you might as well just kill me."

"We can't abandon you, Duohui. I'll go talk to Senior Xin. Maybe she can let us go..."

"That's impossible. You know what she's done. Do you think someone like her would let us get away with this so easily? She still wants to use your power. She'll definitely use me as a bargaining chip to get you to agree to participate in the company war."

Kasumi was just halfway through her words when Duohui interrupted her with a frown. She sighed tiredly and painfully, but finally made up her mind and raised her head, looking at Kasumi pleadingly.

"Kasumi, please, Saaya and the others died for us. Now I can't escape, but you can take your family and theirs and leave. You can leave this desperate city behind and start a new life somewhere else... Saaya and the others will definitely want you to do this."

"..."

Toyama Kasumi frowned and subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but at the same time, she suddenly saw the gloom and expectation in Duohui's eyes. She couldn't help but realize something, and her heart was filled with cold panic.

She was very familiar with this look. When Sha Ling was about to sacrifice herself to save Duohui, she also saw this determination in her eyes. It was the madness of helping her friends at all costs.

Kasumi Toyama trembled, her eyes gradually fell on Duohui's hand hanging on the pistol at her waist, and she couldn't help but clench her teeth in pain.

She absolutely couldn't abandon Da Hui, but if Da Hui realized that this was the reason she refused to leave, what would she do? Would she consider her own life a burden? Would she... shoot herself in order to allow her to leave?

Kasumi Toyama didn't dare to gamble, nor did she dare to imagine how she would survive in this world if she even lost Duohui. She tried desperately to think about how to answer, and in the silence she felt only indescribable chaos and fear overwhelmed her, almost making her collapse.

"Kasumi, I think what Tae said is actually correct."

At this moment, a voice suddenly broke the silence. Toyama Kasumi breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head subconsciously. But when she saw Kurata Mashiro slowly emerging from the air, her expression became a little surprised.
