mygo, but Cthulhu

Only you can solve these problems.”

Bai Lu Qiansheng responded calmly, staring at her for a while before slowly speaking.

"And recently, I've heard that there are always large numbers of eaten corpses appearing in corners... Chihaya Aine's desire for cannibalism is rapidly increasing. She is about to become a monster. Mujica must be aware of this."

"If you could suppress your hatred and calmly communicate with Toyokawa Shoko, perhaps you wouldn't have to face all of them, and you could have healed your friend while also allowing Chihaya Aine to die."

"...Why are you telling me this? Your enemy should be Morfonica, right? Is there any benefit to you in letting Chihaya Aine die?"

After a moment's silence, Mitakeran asked in confusion, and Shiraishi Chisei lowered her eyes, staring at the scenes of Maruyama Aya and Hikawa Hina that only she could see. Even though these were just other people's memories, they were still very precious to her.

"I simply don't want to pour everything I have into hatred. I previously tried to stop Zhiyou Zhu Shou from recruiting Morfonica, but that only led to pointless slaughter... The pain and hatred of everyone in this city reverberated in my mind, and it was then that I suddenly realized that the revenge my friends longed for was essentially the result of accumulated sorrow. They couldn't accept this, so they sought to satisfy themselves with blood and slaughter."

"I once tried to build a sanctuary with Kurata Mashiro, but I failed. And when I could only surrender to hatred, my memories of Aya and Hina disappeared... Fate played such a trick on me, and I should have been at a loss, but at this moment, I realized something."

Bai Lu Qiansheng turned to look at Mei Zhulan. Her expression was extremely calm, but there was a complex darkness in her eyes.

"This world is beyond salvation. Even the powerful Mygo and Mujica are constantly suffering. Everything is plummeting into despair, seemingly without end... Since reality is irreversible, why not let everyone fall into a dream?"

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"I want all of Tokyo, no, the entire world, to be like Udagawa Tomoe right now, to see everything they most desire in a hallucination, to sink completely into despair, and never wake up."

Bailu Qiansheng smiled, not caring about Meizhulan's frown, and continued to speak softly.

"It's better to die in illusory happiness than to struggle until you have nothing left and die in pain... I think this is the most perfect ending."

Chapter 359 Misaki's Pain

"I am back."

Misaki Ozawa spoke softly as she pushed open the door, and her parents turned around in surprise. They were stunned when they saw that she had brought her younger brother and sister back.

"Misaki, you're finally back. You haven't been back to stay for a few days... Why did you bring Xiuxing and Rine back with you?"

"Something happened at school,"

Misaki didn't want to explain too much, and at this time the boy ran up angrily, hugged the woman, and pointed his finger at Misaki to complain.

"Mom, my sister was mean to me at school. She hadn't been on a mission in a long time, and yet she even dared to do that to Master Xianjuan..."

"You help outsiders bully Li Yin. If I don't bully you, who will I bully?"

Misaki spoke in annoyance, and the boy shook his head vigorously in anger.

"But, all the classmates in the class said they wanted to become employees of the Genmaki Group. Only Rin's dream was only for herself. She was the one who made the mistake. I just wanted to correct her!"

"Dreams are something that belongs to you. Those kids who want to become Xianjuan employees are completely brainwashed!"

"..."

Misaki Ozawa responded without hesitation, and as soon as she finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent. The woman's face suddenly turned pale, and the middle-aged man nervously opened the window and looked around. He was relieved to confirm that no one was nearby. Then his frightened expression quickly turned serious. He walked up quickly and grabbed Misaki's shoulders tightly, his voice full of panic and severity.

"Misaki, I know you are a friend of Genmaki-sama, but even so, you can't say everything. We should devote everything to the company. This is the most correct thing."

"Dad, what are you talking about? How could there be such a thing..."

"This is not nonsense! This is the supreme truth!"

The man interrupted her with gritted teeth, leaving Misaki stunned. She looked into those familiar eyes incomprehension and found that there was no fanaticism or blindness in them, but was full of fear.

"Misaki, I know you find it hard to accept the current order... but people always have to adapt to society. No matter what society becomes, all we can do is obey and maintain the current order... Otherwise, we will end up like the tens of thousands of dissidents who were purged."

"Dad, Xian Juanxin will never hurt you..."

"How can you guarantee that? Just because you're Lady Genmaki's friend? She's at the pinnacle of power right now. You attacked her before, and she didn't kill you. That's incredibly tolerant... Misaki, don't squander Lady Genmaki's feelings for you."

The man taught her in a serious tone, and Misaki was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she gritted her teeth unwillingly and painfully, and squeezed out a trembling voice bit by bit.

"Squander...her feelings for me?"

"Isn't it? Misaki, you opposed Genmaki-sama to her face, disobeyed her orders to stop your classmates, and even attacked Genmaki-sama, but she didn't say anything. Doesn't this just prove that she still cares about you even now?"

The man sighed and tried to persuade her sincerely.

"Misaki, it's rare that Lady Genmaki still considers you a friend, but you can't act recklessly because of this. She is now the owner of the entire Genmaki Group. Her every move can affect the lives of millions of people in Tokyo. Even we are still alive today thanks to her protection. You can't..."

"Am I being reckless?!"

Ozawa Misaki raised her voice angrily, forcefully opened his hands, and roared with rage, her voice filled with incomprehensible pain.

"She deceived me. She slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent people just for revenge. She brainwashed my classmates, making them willing to be her killing machines... She has become this terrifying and unfamiliar person now. I just disagree with her. Is it reckless to attack her?! Dad, why are you so afraid of her? She doesn't even..."

"Stop talking!"

"Snapped,"

The man interrupted Ozawa Misaki with a panicked scream. At the same time, a crisp voice rang out in the room. After a moment of dead silence, he suddenly realized what he had done while gasping for breath. He looked down tremblingly at his right hand that had slapped his daughter, and apologized quickly with guilt and pain.

"I'm sorry, Misaki, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to stop you from going on. I was so scared..."

"..."

Misaki Ozawa covered her face and looked at him disappointedly and tiredly. As far as she could remember, this was the first time her father hit her. She really didn't expect it to be for such a reason.

"Wuwu...Dad, don't hit my sister. I'm sorry. This is all my fault.

"It's my fault..."

At this time, the frightened Rin also came back to her senses. She broke down crying and quickly stood in front of Misaki, her tender face full of painful tears. Misaki sighed, leaned over and gently hugged her, patting her back comfortingly.

"It's okay, Liyin, don't be afraid. Dad didn't mean it, and it's not your fault. It's okay now."

"Yeah, Liyin, Dad really didn't mean it..."

The man also leaned over and wanted to hug her, but the girl was afraid and quickly hugged Misaki tightly. The slap just now shattered the image of a gentle father in her mind. At this moment, she only felt fear towards her father.

After seeing her eyes, the man was speechless. He wanted to reach out to Liyin with tears in his eyes, but he saw that the girl's expression became more and more terrified, and her body trembled with panic. After realizing this, he seemed to have lost all his strength. While staying in place, his palm slowly dropped.

"...Rine, let's go into the room first."

Seeing him like this, Misaki sighed with a complicated feeling. She comforted her sister softly, took her hand and went into her room, while Hatsuho followed silently.

After the door closed, Rin completely collapsed and threw herself into Misaki's arms. She hugged Misaki tightly with disbelief, and trembled with tears.

"Sister, why did it suddenly become like this? Is this all my fault? Because I didn't say the same thing as everyone else, that's why you and Dad quarreled, and Dad hit you..."

"That's not the case, Liyin, this is definitely not your fault. My sister just has a little conflict with my father..."

"And the source of the conflict isn't you, Rin, so you don't need to blame yourself for it. Your sister would be sad too."

Hatsuho continued softly, holding Rin's hand. Rin was stunned for a moment when she heard her words, then gradually stopped crying and asked timidly in a low voice.

"Hatsuho, sister, do you really think this isn't my fault?"

"of course."

They responded in unison, and Rine tremblingly tried to wipe away her tears. She hugged Misaki tightly again and spoke softly in a tired voice.

"Sister, can you and Hatsuho stay with me for a while? I'm so tired and I want to sleep for a while, but I'll be scared if you're not by my side..."

"We will always be here, Liyin, sleep well, we will not leave you."

Misaki slowed down her voice and tried to comfort her, and Rine nodded silently. After a while, Misaki could feel her breathing gradually becoming steady. She looked down and saw that her sister had closed her eyes and fallen asleep, but her frown still showed how hurt she was by this incident.

"……sorry."

At this moment, Ozawa Misaki couldn't help but regret why she quarreled with her father, which led to such consequences. She apologized guiltily to her sister in a low voice, raised her hand and carefully wiped away the remaining tears on her face, and gently put her on the bed.

After covering Rin with the quilt, Misaki wanted to stay by her side, but at this moment she saw Hatsuho calmly raise her hand to gesture towards the balcony, and spoke slowly in a low voice.

"Let's go to the balcony, Misaki-nee, I want to talk to you."

"……it is good."

After hesitating for a moment, Misaki nodded. She carefully stood up and followed the girl out. After the door was gently closed, Hatsuho looked up at her seriously, her voice full of complicated meaning.

"Misaki-nee, do you think it's okay to continue like this?"

"what did you say?"

Misaki couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and Hatsuho turned her gaze to the tall String Scroll Tower in the distance, gently raising her hand and pointing at it.

"You should be well aware that while your father may have lost his mind out of fear just now, what he said is not entirely unreasonable. Xian Juanxin has already wielded immense power. Regardless of how you view all this, your family and classmates are living under the order she has created and are part of this new world."

"I understand why you detest her brutality, yet everyone in the controlled zone is praising her greatness. They don't care about the tens of thousands of deaths; they only care about this hard-earned safety... At this point, do you still insist on your own ideas and stand in opposition to everyone?"

"Their blind worship and fanaticism are wrong. Order should not be based on fear and violence..."

"But it happened, and everyone thought it was justice."

Hatsuho interrupted her softly, her expression extremely calm, her eyes showing a maturity that did not belong to her age.

"Someone once said that a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. This statement is also very appropriate to describe what is happening now. No matter how much you shout the truth, no one will care. Your family will only be afraid of you doing so."

"Misaki-sister, the world has become like this, and you haven't harmed any innocent people. None of this is your fault, and you can be proud of your kindness... But I think you should learn to be selfish. This is a crucial step."

"...You mean, I should turn a blind eye to those tens of thousands of innocent people and approve of Xian Juanxin's horrific transformation? That's more cold-blooded than selfish."

Ozawa Misaki was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sneer, while the girl sighed lightly and raised her hand to point at the people on the street.

"Whether you want to call it selfishness or cold-bloodedness, the people here have already learned it. They don't care about things that don't concern them. They stuff fanaticism and blindness into their heads to fight anxiety and fear. They do it well, but they lack willpower, so they fall into it."

"However, unlike them, you are a friend that Genmaki Shin cherishes, and your family is protected by her because of you. Sister Misaki, I really don't understand why you care so much about other people. You argue with Genmaki Shin for those innocent people and have conflicts with your family, but are they important to you? What do those tens of thousands of people mean to you?"

"...I don't know, but life isn't supposed to be like this. Everyone's life is a precious thing that needs to be protected, but the world has suddenly become like this."

After a moment's silence, Ozawa Misaki shook her head tiredly. She looked at the String Scroll Tower weakly, and her mind recalled the good times of the past, as well as the still cheerful and pure String Scroll Heart at that time. Her voice couldn't help but whimper.

"I want to understand all this, but I really don't understand why. Xin clearly cares about life and smiles, why did she become like this? My father used to be a good man who dared to speak out against injustice, why did he say that? I don't understand, I really don't understand..."

"Because they all chose what I called selfishness and what you called cold-bloodedness."

Hatsuho responded softly, also holding Misaki's hand, with a complex and sincere expression.

"Misaki-nee, I know you don't want to give up the family and friends you remember... But this world has collapsed. Over a million people have died so easily. Who would still think that life is important? Even now, I still can't understand why you saved me."

"But I also want to repay your help, so I beg you, Sister Misaki, for the sake of your family, for the sake of your friends who have changed beyond redemption, give up your kindness. Only then can you

If you can adapt to the world as it is, you won’t continue to suffer from it.”

"..."

Ozawa Misaki looked at her hesitantly, and her heart gradually wavered. She knew that what Hatsuho said was right, and she also knew that as long as she turned a blind eye to those innocent people, she would no longer have to feel sad.

Since everyone has made this choice, why should she continue to insist on it? Especially when her family is also under the protection of this order and has the same idea?

"I……"

"drop,"

As she spoke softly and tremblingly, a message alert sound suddenly rang out, making Misaki startled for a moment. At this time, the girl sighed and silently let go of her hand.

"You were almost making up your mind, but someone sent you a message at this very moment... Is this what they call fate?"

"Who knows, but this interruption also made me realize that I shouldn't make decisions rashly. Thank you for considering so much for me, but I have to think about it for a while."

Misaki thanked Hatsuho softly, and after taking out her cell phone and seeing the message on the screen, her expression became more complicated. She pursed her lips and sighed.

"Who sent the message?"

"It's Xianjuanxin... She asked me to go to Xianjuan Tower, and I have to go now."

Chapter 360: Si'an Westin

"let's start."

Xian Juanxin spoke softly, and her instructions were quickly transmitted to the inside of the test site. The man with an artificial spine installed on his back took a deep breath nervously, and the researchers around him hurriedly began to prepare to record the data.

"The 352nd test of the experimental Si'an Westin begins now."

As the words fell, the man's figure suddenly disappeared. He appeared a hundred meters away in a second, and all the human models on the road were cut by the blade in his hand. But when he stood up again, his face was distorted by extreme pain. He trembled and hurriedly held on to the wall next to him, and finally avoided falling directly to the ground.

"The internal bleeding is severe, the heart is beating too fast, and the nerve compression is beyond our expectations. This is unacceptable. We must terminate the experiment..."

"Continue the experiment."

Xian Juanxin interrupted the researchers with a cold voice. They turned around subconsciously in shock, but she didn't care about their reactions. She raised her hand expressionlessly and pointed at the experimental log that had not been progressed for a long time.

"Several days have passed. Each test subject has only been using Sianvistan for a total of less than ten seconds. We've been held back by this obstacle for too long. Zhu Shou Zhiyou has also used her eyes to glimpse prosthetic technology. The Trauma Team company is also researching Sianvistan. We must not fall behind them and continue our experiments."

"However, the subject's nerve signals are already showing signs of disorder. If this continues..."

"I said go ahead."

Xian Juanxin glanced coldly at the researcher who hesitated to speak, and the latter suddenly dared not speak. The experimenters began to get busy, and the panting man showed despair after hearing the order, but even though his body was about to collapse, he had no idea of ​​resisting. He gritted his teeth and started to activate the prosthesis again.

"call out,"
