mygo, but Cthulhu

"I've already changed. Every one of us has changed. Only Deng can't change. So she killed herself... and I have to survive with my teammates. I made an agreement with them."

Li Xi answered in a low voice, and Hai Ling didn't know what to say at this time. She sighed deeply, looked down at the panda milk jelly spilled on the ground, then turned and left silently, her back gradually disappearing from Li Xi's sight.

"..."

She gave a tired smile, trying to suppress the pain in her heart, clenched her fists and continued to walk forward. When she finally saw Lenai standing listlessly at the door, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and handed her the matcha candy while asking.

"How's Aine doing?"

"The interesting woman has turned into a scary woman. It smells terrible inside and is disgusting... Su Shi is trying to comfort her, but it's not working."

Lenai shook her head silently, her expression still suppressed even after she stuffed the matcha candy into her mouth. She curled up and squatted against the wall, and Lixi patted her shoulder comfortingly, trying to make her feel better first.

"It's okay, Lenai, we will definitely find a solution..."

"Boom!"

The sound of collision from inside interrupted her, and Li Xi was stunned for a moment before quickly pushing the door open. The smell of blood and stench that came towards her made her cough, and after seeing the scene inside, her expression became more powerless.

The room was filled with corpses, some still bleeding, some already rotted to the point of stinking and infested with maggots. Aiyin, with disheveled hair, frantically threw out debris, smashing everything to pieces. At the same time, Li Xi saw Su Shi staggering back, covering her bleeding forehead, and hurried forward to support her body.

"Sushi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I just got hit by Aine... She's been in a manic state for longer and longer."

Su Shi shook his head lightly and cast a spell to heal his wounds. At the same time, Ai Yin growled at Li Xi who had just entered with full vigilance. The familiar smile on her face was gone, leaving only a pure smile.

"Aine, calm down, I'm Riki..."

"Roar!"

Aiyin's face twisted into a menacing roar, her grey eyes completely transformed into a blood red. She grabbed a fresh corpse nearby and gnawed on it randomly, then smashed the remaining part in front of Li Xi, causing him to meet her gaze with an unwilling and painful expression.

Li Xi sighed and looked up at Ai Yin, who also looked at her warily for a moment. However, after seeing the pain and sadness in her purple eyes, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and her expression became a little painful.

"Ain, do you still remember me?" Communication 8 5 7 1 5 7 0 8 8

Li Xi spoke softly with concern as he slowly walked forward. The pink-haired girl sobbed and covered her head tightly. After a moment, her bloodshot eyes gradually faded to gray. When she saw the corpses all around her, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking at her and Su Shi in a daze.

"Soyorin, Rikki...did you find all these for me?"

"Aine, you're finally awake... I almost thought you wouldn't be able to come back."

Hearing her familiar voice, Li Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She quickly walked forward and helped the girl up from the ground. The latter also saw the blood stains remaining on Su Shi's face. After a moment of hesitation, she realized something and her expression was bitter and self-blaming.

"Soyorin...was it me who caused your injury?"

“Don’t worry about it, Aine. I know you just lost control…”

"But I've even started to hurt you, and my desire for human flesh has grown... I can no longer maintain a normal life with you, Soyorin."

Aine interrupted her softly and weakly, then looked down at her own body covered in blood and flesh, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke.

"Soyorin, Rikki, I think it's time. You should kill me now. If you wait until I completely lose control, it will be too late. By then, I might cause more serious harm to you..."

"Don't say such things!"

Su Shi interrupted her with a trembling roar, and without waiting for Ai Yin to say anything, he hugged her tightly, sobbing and trying to persuade her desperately.

"Ain, please, don't give up. Deng and my mother have left me. I can't lose you again.

Screw you, at least you're still sober now, right? We'll talk about the rest later, we'll definitely find a way."

"There's no way out, is there? Even Xiangzi's power can't solve my problem. I'm destined to become a monster."

Aine felt her sobs and couldn't help but sigh in pain. She forced herself to suppress her reluctance and sadness, and squeezed out the sound through gritted teeth.

"Soyorin, I know you can't bear to leave me, but there's no point in running away. My sanity is almost gone, and I absolutely don't want to turn into a monster and hurt you... Just like we agreed before, kill me and let me be free."

“Aine…”

Su Shi was stunned by her plea, she stared at the pink-haired girl with tears in her eyes, and the latter just smiled and nodded at her, holding her hand and transferring her magic power to her, helping her to condense a magic blade sharp enough to cut through Aine's hard flesh.

"Soyorin, I love you, I love all of you... So, please, let me escape from this nightmare of cannibalism. I can't bear it any longer. Besides, the risk to you all is too great if I continue to live. I can't let myself lose control and possibly kill you."

"Do not……"

"Please, soyorin."

Those gentle and familiar grey eyes stared at Su Shi, and the latter felt that everything in her mind was collapsing and shattering. She felt that even breathing had become difficult and painful. She collapsed and wanted to let go, but Aine was determined not to let her go and still maintained the sharp blade of magic.

"Aine, please don't make me do this, I really can't do it..."

"I'm sorry, Soyorin, but this is the only choice we have... I can no longer guarantee my sanity, so I can't let myself, who could go crazy at any time, continue to live by your side. I will never allow that to happen."

Aiyin responded softly with tiredness and guilt. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Su Shi's face, while forcibly holding her hand and letting the sharp blade gradually approach her chest. The girl with long flaxen hair tried her best to break free but failed. She looked at Li Xi in panic, desperately begging for her help.

"Ritsuki! Ritsuki! Stop Aine, please! She's going to kill herself... Ritsuki!"

Su Shi's shrill scream brought Li Xi's confused consciousness back to the cruel reality. She stared blankly at the scene in front of her, raised her hand tremblingly, but had no idea what to do. Tears gradually blurred her vision.

...Before, she had used anger and indifference to avoid Xiangzi and Hailing's problems. However, she also knew that Aiyin was indeed irreversible. She would kill innocent people for her, and Aiyin now wanted to be free from this pain... Did she really want to stop this? If she did so, would she force Aiyin to continue to suffer just for her own feelings?

Shiina Riki didn't know the answer, and she had no idea what to do. She stood there, letting Su Shi's incomprehensible screams of pain pierce her eardrums, and stared blankly at the magic blade slowly piercing Aine's chest and moving forward bit by bit.

"I'm sorry, Soyorin. I know this will cause you a lot of pain... but before I completely degenerate into a monster, I must kill myself. This is the only way I can do."

The pink-haired girl reluctantly and painfully apologized to them, while also forcibly focusing all of her life force into her beating heart to ensure that she would die completely.

"I'm very fortunate to have met you. Please don't be miserable because of me. Please leave this city with Lenai and find a good place to live. As long as you can feel happy, my sacrifice will not be in vain... I will bless you with Deng."

"Aine! No!"

Su Shi roared desperately, she screamed and cried, trying desperately to break free, but she could not resist Aine's huge power. When the magic blade was about to pierce Aine's chest and Su Shi's pupils shrank to the extreme because of despair, a calm voice suddenly sounded.

“Ms. Aine, I don’t think you need to be so eager to kill yourself… Although the distortion of your essence is inevitable, I might be able to help you.”

Chapter 363 Bai Lu Qian Sheng's Plan

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and discovered that Bailu Qiansheng had appeared in the room without them noticing. She didn't seem to be affected by the stench and blood in the air at all. She smiled and gently raised her hand to Aine.

"Would you please stop this before I finish explaining my proposal?"

"……it is good."

After a moment's silence, Aine nodded with a complicated expression. She loosened her hand, and Su Shi quickly took a few steps back, causing the magic blade to disappear.

"Now, can you explain your method to us?"

Li Xi turned to look at her and asked in a serious and soft voice, and Bai Lu Qiansheng nodded slightly. Then she looked around at the corpses around her, sighed with emotion, and shook her head silently.

"Everyone at mygo, what do you think of this city now?"

"I can't find any other way to describe it except terrible."

"Yes, this city is getting worse and worse... In my opinion, Tokyo is no different from this house full of corpses. Under the constant repetition of death, people are like the walking dead, and even the happiness they should have is out of reach... In the midst of hatred, who still remembers that we were just ordinary girls in a band at the beginning?"

"..."

They didn't know what to say for a moment, and Bailu Qiansheng sighed again. She closed her eyes, as if mourning for all the pain and sorrow so far. When she opened her eyes again, Lixi saw that the large number of corpses around her suddenly turned into colorful petals and decorations. She subconsciously reached out and touched it, and the feeling she felt was also soft and warm, which made her stunned.

"Is this... an illusion?"

"Yes, these are only false illusions, but they seem real, don't they? A man may be horrified by a corpse, but as long as he does not see the true horror, he can indulge in this happiness."

Shiraishi Chisei smiled, her voice becoming cheerful, and she raised her hand to gesture to Chihaya Aine.

“I can’t repair Miss Aine’s essence from collapsing, but I can put her into a dreamlike state. This way, her spirit won’t be eroded any further, and you can continue to search for a solution while she’s asleep… That’s like retaining a last glimmer of hope, isn’t it?”

"Then what do you want?"

Before Su Shi hurriedly wanted to nod, Li Xi asked calmly first, and Bai Lu Qiansheng also responded softly with preparation.

"I want to get Toyokawa Shoko's help. As the source of the Blood Cross, Tamade Chiyu has every reason to hate me. Her mental state is also deteriorating because of that eye. I'm sure she will attack me if she gets the chance."

"I want to take my friends out of this country. However, although I can interfere with the minds of those around me, my spell range is only one city. The armies of various countries have information about me. If I act rashly against them, I will be targeted by missiles... I need Toyokawa Shoko to help me get out of this country. As long as she can help, I will let Miss Aine

The spirit is wrapped in dreams."

"It's not difficult. I think Xiangzi will be willing to help."

Li Xi nodded after thinking about it, and Qian Sheng looked at her for a moment, curled the corners of his mouth, and then slowly spoke.

"Not only that, to ensure I won't be found out later, I need your help in preparing a large ceremony. Aftergrow will also be involved, and I hope you won't conflict with them."

"Aftergrow? Do they know you want to cooperate with us? Aine ate Udagawa Ako before. Even if we are willing to live in peace with them, they probably won't accept it, right?"

Li Xi couldn't help but frown when he heard her words, and Qian Sheng just shook his head.

"You don't need to worry about this. I can guarantee that as long as you agree to this condition, Aftergrow will not take the initiative to attack you. If they breach the contract, then I will stand on your side."

"As long as what you say is true, then of course we can agree."

After thinking for a while, Li Xi nodded, and Bailu Qiansheng also smiled relaxedly.

"Very good. I will contact you when I need your help. Now I'll say goodbye."

She said softly and turned to leave. As she walked out, the flowers in the house instantly turned back into a horrific pile of corpses. She could feel the doubts and relief of Riki and the others. She also knew that although Mygo and Mujica did not trust her, they had no choice but to agree to her conditions... After all, they did not want Chihaya Aine to die like this.

As long as there is even a glimmer of hope, no matter how much it costs or how much pain it has to endure, humans will desperately reach out to that one chance... From this point of view, perhaps they are not monsters, but normal human beings.

This thought flashed through Bailu Qiansheng's mind, and she couldn't help but laugh. She quickened her pace and turned the corner. Not surprisingly, she saw Mei Zhulan waiting in front of her, looking at her with eyes full of suspicion and vigilance.

"Did they agree?"

"Of course they agreed, because they had no choice."

Bailu Qiansheng responded softly, and Meizhulan couldn't help but sigh.

"So, you're still going to stick with your plan? Don't you think it's too much?"

"But you are also willing to help me, otherwise you wouldn't be here talking to me."

Bai Lu Qiansheng responded softly, and Mei Zhulan also clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"After all, only Toyokawa Shoko can cure Tomoe's addiction right now. If I want to seek her help, I'll have to help her eliminate her special charm and Mikado Hatsuka's blood madness... However, after that, we'll only be a threat to them, and I can't guarantee they won't turn on us."

"But you can make Chihaya Aine fall into a dream. With your participation, I don't have to worry about that. And if your plan succeeds, it will also be beneficial to me... as long as you don't deceive me."

"Why would I lie to you? Since your help is essential to my plan, leaving you alone to remain sane in the future world is actually just as effective for me. After all, you won't come into conflict with others by then."

Bailu Qiansheng smiled and gently spread out his hands.

"And at that time, you can take revenge on Mygo and Mujica. Their consciousnesses will sink into happiness, and you can kill their bodies. This is actually a good result for them... As long as their last moments are happy, then what does it matter whether their lives continue?"

Having said this, Bai Lu Qiansheng's expression became more and more cheerful. She gently stretched out her hand to this desperate city, feeling the pain everywhere, and slowly spoke with longing.

"Soon, this city, and the entire world, will sink into a deep dream. As long as my plan goes smoothly, I can use Toyokawa Shoko's power to cover the entire earth with my magic... Humanity will be free from the disputes and noise it has always suffered, and sink into a state of unconscious happiness and sweetness. Only then will true peace be achieved."

"Can you imagine that scene? Mei Zhulan, except for you, no one, including me, needs to be tortured by this cold reality anymore. Our bodies will gradually decay and return to dust, but our spirits will forever remain in that moment of happiness... Even your friend who fell into madness, she won't have to endure so much anymore. She can sleep forever in her dreams."

"I even feel that the guy didn't deserve such an ending... But at least this way, she won't appear in front of us again, which is also a good thing."

Mizukami sighed, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked up at Bailu Qiansheng inquiringly.

"So, what about your friends? Will they also sink into the dream and die with you?"

"Of course, they have endured too much torture with me. I don't want to let them stay in this world anymore. It would be too cruel for them."

Bai Lu Qiansheng nodded vigorously without hesitation, with an extremely satisfied smile on his face.

"When that time comes, we will find Xiaocai and Hina on the other side of death, and they will embrace us again... In dreams, our paspale will be reunited once again."

Chapter 364 The War Begins

“All data nodes have been calibrated and no issues have been found.”

After checking it once, Amoris spoke calmly and softly, and Xian Juanxin nodded. She stared at the chip on the table for a moment with a complicated look, then started the preset program.

The robotic arms moved smoothly again, and the laser quickly took shape of the chip. The AI ​​and the blonde girl watched the process silently. After the biochip was stored in the box, Xian Juanxin slowly exhaled.

"Finally done... I need to thank you, Amoris. Without your help, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for me to make this replica."

"I'm just fulfilling the contract. Now that I've finished my work, when can you let me connect to the outside world?"

"Please wait a little longer. I still need to make some arrangements. I've been a bit busy lately."

Xian Juanxin responded softly, and at the same time, she seemed to remember something. She took out the tridecahedron and prepared to aim it at the box. At this moment, Amoris also felt that his data flow was disordered due to nervousness.

In the process of cooperating with Xian Juanxin, she didn't want another consciousness to suffer the pain she had experienced, so she secretly tampered with the code of the chip, so that it would only create an illusion based on the memory of the corresponding brain... She was confident that Xian Juanxin could not be detected through normal means, but she was not sure whether she could deceive the detection of the trapezohedron.

"Kokoro, why did you and Misaki have that conflict?"

Just when Amoris was about to escape first, an incomprehensible voice suddenly sounded. Xian Juanxin frowned and turned around, only to see Charlotte had broken in directly with her high authority, with an anxious and worried expression on her face.

"Xin, I've heard from Hanako and the others that you and Misaki have had many arguments recently, and she even hit you before... Can you tell me why there is such a conflict between you and her?

Is that the case? I don’t want anything to happen to your band.”
