"..."

As the girl responded softly, the classroom suddenly fell into silence. Misaki sighed and opened the door. When the teacher saw her, his expression turned pale and he quickly leaned over to apologize in panic.

"Ms. Ozer, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me..."

"Leave here,"

Misaki interrupted her softly, and the teacher nodded quickly. She quickly left the classroom, and the children looked at each other in panic. After a moment, her brother spoke first in an unhappy tone.

"Sister, what the classmates said is actually true. Riyin should focus more on devoting herself to Master Genmaki."

"Devotion? I just haven't seen you for a while, why did you become like this? Xiuxing, she is your sister..."

"But everyone around is willing to give everything for Master Xianjuan! Even Mom and Dad are like this!"

The boy interrupted her unwillingly, and Misaki was stunned for a moment and clenched her teeth. She tried hard to control her anger, and after a moment she squeezed out an annoyed sound.

"No matter what, you shouldn't help others bully your sister... Go home and I'll talk to you later."

"Humph, a sister who doesn't do her missions all day and hides behind her classmates has the right to lecture me?"

The boy snorted, and while Misaki couldn't help but clench her fists, he made a face at her and ran out of the classroom. After sighing tiredly, she leaned over to comfort her sister and gently touched her hair.

"It's okay now, Liyin. Sister is here, no one will dare to bully you."

"Sister... am I wrong?"

Rine looked up at her in confusion and grievance, and Misaki shook her head without hesitation.

"How is it possible? Your dream

It belongs to you, and has nothing to do with the chords. You should live for yourself. Giving up everything for her is simply absurd."

"But that's what everyone says. And isn't the reason everyone respects you because you're a friend of Master Genjumaki?"

"..."

Rine asked in confusion, and Misaki didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment of silence, the girl next to her whispered.

"Rin, your sister only said that because she had a conflict with Genmaki-sama recently. Anyway, when someone asks you, just say that everything is for Genmaki-sama."

"I see."

Misaki Ozawa subconsciously wanted to refute the girl's words, but Rine's expression became a little relieved when she heard this. She nodded slightly, then looked up at Misaki expectantly.

"Sister, as long as I can say this, this kind of thing won't happen again, right?"

"...Yeah, you can just say that. No one else can control what you think."

After a moment of silence, Ozawa Misaki nodded with a bitter expression and sighed silently.

She really didn't want her sister to say such things... However, the controlled area was full of such fanatical ideas, and Liyin had to do this in order to fit in. Otherwise, even if she wouldn't be specifically targeted, she would definitely be excluded by the overall environment.

...This damn reality was so disgusting that it made her want to vomit.

As she felt increasingly powerless, Ozawa Misaki couldn't help but clench her fists. She took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions, while also holding Rin's hand, ready to take her home.

"Come on, Liyin, let's go back first. I haven't played with you for a long time. I will accompany you all the time today."

"Well, can you bring Hatsuho along too, sister? She's my only friend in the class."

Rine nodded vigorously and happily, while also pointing pleadingly at the girl beside her. Misaki subconsciously met the latter's calm gaze, and her expression gradually softened.

"Of course, I'm glad you made a friend, Rin. Let's take her home and play with her."

Chapter 358: Fallen into a Dream

"Ahhhhhh! Lan, please! Let me go!"

Ueda Gawabun, who was tied tightly with ropes, screamed miserably, her face full of despair twisted to the limit. She frantically reached out to her friend in front of her, and the latter could only stand there tiredly, trying to suppress the pain in her heart.

"Lan! Mocha! Just give me a little bit! Please, just give me a little bit, I just need a little bit..."

Tomoe Ueda screamed with tears streaming down her face, and Mocha couldn't help but tremble at this time. She looked at Lan hesitantly, and after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but squeeze out a sound.

"Lan, can we just stand here and watch? Is there nothing we can do? Ba has been suffering from drug addiction these days and is almost on the verge of collapse..."

"We can only watch from here."

Mei Zhulan interrupted her softly in a tired voice and shook her head silently.

"My father once planned to perform a ritual to cure drug addiction, but he died before he could teach me those things. Moreover, my magic power is also affected by Gauze Nicholas. If I rashly use magic on Tomoe's brain, she will turn into a monster... We don't have any other options now."

"But……"

"Ahhhhh! Let me go! Let me go! Both of you! Let me go!"

At this time, Ueda Gawabane was almost driven crazy by drug addiction. She couldn't control herself and cursed her friends madly. She struggled so violently that the ropes cut her flesh. After an unknown amount of time, she gradually stopped struggling due to exhaustion, gasped and lowered her head, her clothes soaked with sweat.

"Tomoe, are you okay?"

After confirming that her drug addiction had temporarily subsided, Mizukuri walked up to her and asked softly. Ueda Gawabun's consciousness also gradually recovered. She recalled her madness and loss of control just now, and she couldn't help but sob and curled up her body, tears flowing because of self-blame and collapse.

"I'm sorry, Lan, I just said those dirty words to you..."

"Don't worry about it. I know you're just in so much pain."

Mizukuri shook her head slightly and untied the ropes on Tomoe. When she was about to help her friend up, the girl suddenly grabbed her hand and looked up at her with a look of powerless despair.

"Lan, kill me."

"...Don't say that. Himari has gone mad, and Tugumi is dead. We can't lose you again."

After a moment of silence, Mizukuri shook her head tiredly, and Tomoe sobbed tremblingly, her face broken and painful.

"But I really can't stand it anymore, Lan. Every time I have an attack, it's so uncomfortable. I just felt like I was cut into countless pieces alive... I don't want to leave you, but I really can't hold on any longer. Please, kill me."

"..."

Mizukami gritted her teeth silently. She turned her head away and tried to ignore Ba's pleading gaze. She only felt the pain like a sharp knife constantly tearing her heart. After a long while, she barely squeezed out a weak voice.

"I can't do it, Tomoe. I can't kill you... You're my friend."

"...Yes, Lan, I should have thought of that. Of course, you can't make up your mind. I'm sorry to ask you this."

After a moment of dead silence, Tomoe Ueda responded softly with a bitter expression. She lowered her head and stared at her hands with empty eyes, and her tone gradually became dazed.

"Lan, sometimes I actually wonder if all this is just a nightmare I can't wake up from. Two months ago, we were all living a peaceful life, and everyone was just like usual...but why have we become like this now?"

"Tomoe, don't think about it. At this point, even if we keep reminiscing about the past, it's meaningless..."

"I know this doesn't make sense, but I can't help but think, what if Ako and my parents hadn't died? Would they be by my side now? What if Himari hadn't become like that? Would she hold my hand, too?"

Tomoe Ueda spoke softly with a bitter expression, staring at the ground with a dazed and confused look in her eyes. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, but in the end she still didn't catch anything. Just as Mitakeran sighed and was about to hand her some water, Tomoe's words made her stunned.

"Lan, although I know ** can only harm...but that day, I saw the scene where the five of us were still together. Himari didn't turn into that monster, and Tugumi didn't die...even my family is still alive and well."

"Tomoe...what do you want to say?"

Mizukuri frowned and asked in a deep voice, while Ueda Gawabun also sighed, and after a long silence, he looked up at her with a sincere expression.

"Lan, can you find me some LSD?"

"Snapped!"

The next moment, Tomoe Ueda was slapped hard in the face. Mizukuri was so angry that she couldn't even control her strength, causing Tomoe to spit out several teeth along with blood. She covered her face, not caring about the pain, and her weak eyes met the familiar eyes full of anger.

"Tomoe, what the hell were you thinking?! You're already addicted to drugs, and you're using hallucinogens?! Are you completely crazy?!"

"Yeah, maybe

Let me put it this way, I actually don’t know what I’m thinking anymore, Lan, I just want to see that happy scene again.”

Tomoe gave a wry smile, but what he said only infuriated Mizukuri. She grabbed her friend's collar in annoyance, forced her half-swollen face up, and stared into her eyes with disappointment and incomprehension.

"Happiness?! You call that kind of illusion happiness?! What you should do now is cheer up. We will always find a way to eliminate your addiction, and then we can..."

"What can we do?! Should we seek revenge on Mygo and Mujica?! Should we find a way to kill Himari?! Can we do it?! Even if we can succeed, how much more do I have to lose to see this scene?!"

At this moment, Ueda Gawab suddenly interrupted her with a roar. She collapsed and grabbed Lan's collar in tears, pressed her against the wall and screamed, her face also distorted to the extreme.

Mizukuri stared at her ferocious eyes, and after a moment, Ba's anger was quickly replaced by pain and sorrow. She trembled and let go of Mizukuri, then knelt weakly on the ground, wailing and sobbing.

"I'm sorry, Ran, I'm sorry... I don't want you to seek revenge. I'm afraid something might happen to you, but I also hate Mygo and Mujica, and until now, I still can't believe that Feimali would do such a thing... I'm sorry, I don't know what to do anymore..."

She covered her face tremblingly. Her tearful apology made Mizukami even more painful. She leaned over to hug Tomoe, but the next moment she seemed to suddenly feel something and looked at the door with a frown.

"As expected, after your body was reshaped by the flesh and blood of the Black Goat Young, mental suggestion no longer has any effect on you, Mizukane."

Bai Lu Qiansheng pushed open the door and walked in. As expected, he spoke softly. Mei Zhulan couldn't help but be alert. While adding shields to herself, Moka and Tomoe, she asked calmly and softly.

"What brought you here?"

"For the memory,"

Bailu Qiansheng smiled and gently pointed at Meizhulan's head.

"You also know Xiaocai and Hinayana. I want to know what kind of image they have in your eyes. This is very important to me."

"You're not worthy of my trust. Why should I let you see into my mind? It would be very risky for me."

"I can help your friend see the fantasy she longs for. Although it is just a false dream, she really needs it now, doesn't she?"

Qiansheng raised her hand to signal to the collapsed Ueda Gawabone, who had not heard their conversation at all and whose consciousness was completely in chaos. Mizukuri looked at her for a moment with complicated and tired eyes, then nodded silently.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Lan, are you sure you want to do this?"

Mocha couldn't help but speak out in worry at this time, and Mizukuri patted her shoulder soothingly and slowed down her voice.

"It's okay, Moka. If she wanted to take action, she wouldn't have said so much. Even if she planned to harm me, I would interrupt her spell in time."

Then, Mizukami calmly walked straight to Shiraishi Chisei. She was mentally prepared and nodded to the blonde girl, who smiled at her gratefully and gently held her hand.

A mental force that made her subconsciously feel uncomfortable flowed into Lan's consciousness, and memories of Maruyama Aya and Hikawa Hina flashed before her eyes. They had been pushed into a corner by two months of pain and twists and turns, but at this moment they became clear again, cherished by that mental force.

After a moment, Bai Lu Qiansheng let go of her hand. She closed her eyes thoughtfully, then nodded to Lan with emotion.

"Thank you. Thanks to you, I can now understand what kind of people they are... Although I still say that I haven't regained the feelings I had for them, at least I have come to understand them, and that is very precious to me."

"So, can you calm Tomoe down now?"

"of course can."

Bai Lu Qiansheng nodded slightly, then raised his hand to the girl curled up on the ground. After a moment, her violent trembling suddenly stopped. Mei Zhulan hurriedly helped her up, and saw that her blood-stained face had softened again, and her trance-like mumbling was full of happiness.

"Ako, Tugumi, Himari, it's great that you're all still by my side, it's great..."

"You gave her an illusion?"

Mizukami frowned slightly and turned to look at Bailu Qiansheng, whose expression remained calm.

"This is the best solution. What tortured her the most wasn't the drug addiction, but this horrible reality. She couldn't accept it, so she collapsed like this... But now, she is happy."

"This kind of happiness is just a lie. What will happen when she wakes up? What will we do then?"

"If you want, I can keep her trapped in this dream..."

"Stop talking. That's completely meaningless. No matter how painful reality is, she'll still have to face it in the end... I don't want to see her collapse, but sinking into illusions is nothing more than a slow death."

Mizukuri interrupted her with a sigh, and Bailu Qiansheng also frowned and his expression became serious.

"Do you really think so?"

"What else? Do you think it's a good thing to be lost in illusion?"

"For those who are content with reality, this is certainly not a good thing, but your friend clearly can't stand it anymore, right? She's like Takamatsu Deng from MYGO. Her will isn't strong enough to endure the constant pain, so she sought death from you. When you denied her, she completely collapsed."

Bailu Qiansheng shook his head slightly, and Meizhulan couldn't help feeling annoyed at this moment, and her expression, which had just relaxed, turned cold.

"What does this have to do with you?"

"I was just thinking, if Xiao Cai were still alive, she would have sympathized with your friend. She's always been a kind person. I used to think this was stupid... but in the end, I was also moved by her persistence."

Shirasagi Chisei walked in front of Ueda Gawabone. She stared at her dazed smile seriously for a moment, then sighed softly. The image of Maruyama Aya in other people's memories flashed before her eyes again. With a complicated expression, she whispered the pink-haired girl's favorite words.

"Idols are supposed to bring smiles to people's faces, so I can never give up... Yes, Xiao Cai, you didn't give up until the very end. But I'm actually glad you're not alive now, because otherwise this horrible reality would have left you in agony... This city is now filled with only despair and madness."

"Don't stress this point anymore, Shiragi Chisei. Everyone knows what this world has become... I'm grateful for your help, but it seems you can't completely resolve Tomoe's pain. Leave here. I'll remember your favor."

Mizukari spoke softly, and Bailu Qiansheng shook her head, then said something that surprised her.

"Mizukari, even now, do you still want revenge on Mygo and Mujica? You should know that their power is not something you can defeat, right?"

"I know, and I won't act rashly... So what do you want to say?"

"They actually still need your help. The extraordinary charm of Toyokawa Shoko and the madness in the blood of the three-way Chuhua...
