mygo, but Cthulhu

"Don't say that. You are my friends. How can I just sit back and do nothing?"

After hearing their assurances, Kana's nervousness disappeared a lot. She smiled and shook her head. Eri also felt her confidence growing little by little as she watched all this.

Well, as long as they work together, they will definitely succeed and they will definitely find the truth.

"Sizzle,"

The next moment, Eri suddenly heard a strange sound. She turned her head subconsciously and saw a piece of paper on the ground next to her.

For some reason, she was very concerned about the note and instinctively walked over to pick it up. There were strange words written on it:

"Eat it."

The moment she saw the words, Eri felt her consciousness being stripped away. She seemed to be watching herself in the third person and swallowed them without hesitation. When she regained consciousness, Mai and Kana, who were dazed beside her, reacted and hurriedly grabbed her shoulders in panic.

"Eri, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly eat that thing?"

"I, I don't know,"

Eri also shook her head in confusion, and then a low voice sounded in her ears.

"Successful. Very good. It seems that you really came here to explore the cause of your brother's death. It's a pity."

"who are you?"

Eri turned her head in panic, but saw nothing, while her friend looked at her with an expression of confusion.

"Eri, what are you talking about? There's no one there."

"Wait, can't you hear? Someone was talking just now."

Eri looked at them in confusion, and then she noticed that their expressions became surprised and frightened.

"Eri...what's wrong with you? No one was talking except us just now. Did you hear it wrong?"

"I……"

Eri didn't know what to say for a moment. At the same time, the voice in her ear continued,

"Fujimura Eri, huh? I have to say, you're very brave, but also very foolish. Not everyone would take risks for a brother they haven't seen in years, but you did it."

"..."

Eri didn't know what to say. In her panic, she didn't even know if the voice was her hallucination, but the man didn't care about her reaction at all.

"Since you've come this far, your fate is already sealed. The hunters from the committee are ready to kill you. This is all because of your recklessness... But I don't intend to blame you, because you are also pitiful people."

"Listen carefully, Fujimura Eri, your brother once had a deal with us. He insisted on torturing and killing cats, and we gave him money, which is what he transferred to you."

"Now that he's dead, our goal has been achieved. However, out of my personal compassion, I'm willing to help you children who are doomed to die."

"Go find the area below the red mark. There's a potion there. When you're about to be killed, you can choose to drink it. This way, you'll gain strength... but it won't be without a price."

"That's all my advice. It's up to you to decide how to choose. So, goodbye."

Then the sound in her ears disappeared. Eri was stunned for a long time before she reacted. At this time, her friend was already anxiously trying to call 120.

"No, I'm fine. I just felt a little dazed."

She tried her best to appease them, and finally managed to get them to accept her statement half-heartedly.

"Are you really okay, Eri? If you feel unwell, remember to tell us quickly. Don't try to be so stubborn."

"Well, I know, don't worry."

Eri nodded slightly. She pursed her lips and found a mark nearby. Then she dug out a bottle of sticky black liquid from underneath. It was even still flowing continuously and did not look normal at all.

Eri stared at the bottle and couldn't help but think of that voice again. She felt a little breathless for a moment.

The potion was real... and everything else the voice said was true? Were they going to die?

She was so frightened that she didn't even have the energy to answer her friend's questions. She just felt dizzy and could barely stand.

At the same time, Hailing had already arrived at the shadow of the alley entrance. She looked at Eri holding an unknown liquid in the distance and couldn't help but frowned.

She had come here on her own initiative because she noticed that the target was no longer moving forward, but she didn't expect to see this situation... It was a bit of a headache.

"Unexpected things... it's better to just do it."

She took out her pistol and pointed it at Eri, who was still confused. But just as she was about to pull the trigger, a helpless electronic voice rang in her ears.

"Heilang, Xiangzi is coming."

“…It just happened to be at this time.”

Hailing sighed. At the same time, Xiangzi also saw the girls in front of him and nodded slightly to them.

"You're Aine's classmates, right? She hasn't been able to contact you, so she wants me to tell you something."

"Aine-san? What does she have to tell us?"

Eri asked subconsciously, and Xiangzi's expression became somewhat helpless.

"She said there might be some mysterious power involved in this case... I don't quite understand what she meant, but that's what she said."

"Although this is hard to believe, I think she is also concerned about your safety, so I also suggest that you don't try to explore it. Leave this matter to the police."

"...Well, you're right."

Eri was silent for a moment and then nodded. She took the hands of her friends who were all puzzled and looked at them seriously.

"Mai, Chana... I think this operation might be dangerous. How about we go back?"

"Since you say so, Eri..."

They didn't understand why Eri suddenly changed like this, but they nodded subconsciously and prepared to follow her out.

"A wise choice. Goodbye, everyone."

"boom,"

Just as Xiangzi was saying goodbye to them, a gunshot pierced her eardrums and suddenly rang out. The next moment, Eri saw Kana's neck split open instantly, and her body fell straight down. Hot blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing all over her face.

what is this?

Chapter 40 Monster Swarm

Shoko Toyokawa watched a young girl fall to the ground at the sound of gunfire. Her mind went blank for a moment. Fear completely overwhelmed her reason, leaving her frozen in place.

"Xiangzi, be careful!"

A familiar anxious voice came to his ears. Xiangzi felt himself being pulled hard and stumbled behind the wall. When he saw who it was, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

"Lights? Why are you here?!"

"It was Xiao Ai who told us you were in danger. Xiangzi, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Deng answered while frantically checking her condition, and was relieved after confirming that she was okay. Xiangzi reacted and subconsciously looked at Aiyin.

“Aine… have you told them everything?”

"I'm sorry, since you've been dragged into this matter, Xiangzi, I have to break my promise."

Aine shook her head helplessly, and after carefully glancing at the corpse outside, her expression became extremely serious.

"Those guys have guns... That's outrageous! We've already called the police, but we don't know if they're deliberately stalling for time. Everyone, be careful not to go out without permission!"

At the same time, she also waved vigorously to the dazed Eri and Mai.

"Eri, Mai, come here quickly! They must be targeting you! Run!"

Her cry brought the two girls, who were still in a daze, back to their senses. Eri did not run away but knelt on the ground. She picked up Kana tremblingly, but found that her eyes no longer had any spirit and her breathing had stopped.

“…Why? Why?”

Wu was terrified and wanted to pull her away, but she just hugged the corpse and cried.

"She has nothing to do with this! We dragged her here! Why kill her?! She didn't have to be involved in this in the first place!"

At this moment, Hailing also quickly and nervously explored the surroundings. The shot just now was not fired by her, which meant that there were other unknown enemies here.

"Ghost! Have you found any traces?! Are there other electronic signal sources here besides us?!"

"I can't find it! Logically, no one should be close to it. Wait, let me see if there is any surveillance there... No!"

The somewhat panicked electronic sound in her ears made Hailing realize that she could not rely on him. She gritted her teeth and quickly looked outside, and then she saw that the red-haired girl's head was also directly pierced through and she fell heavily to the ground.

"dance……"

Eri fell into a daze, and after a while, she trembled and touched Wu's face. She felt the hot blood that kept pouring out, and her consciousness seemed to be completely shattered.

"When you are about to be killed, drink it to gain strength..."

The voice seemed to begin echoing in her ears again, and Eri opened the bottle tremblingly and drank the liquid full of foul smell and ominous smell.

"Eri...what are you doing?"

Aine looked at her incomprehensible, and the next moment the green-haired girl began to vomit violently, blood, flesh, and internal organs continuously spurting out of her mouth. As soon as it hit the ground, it turned into a rotten black color and turned into a red and black mud.

“Aaaaaaah! Aine… classmate, save me! Save me!”

Eri screamed in agony, her face twisted with blood and tears turning towards Aine, wailing endlessly as she reached out to her. Aine also subconsciously raised her hand.

"Tear,"

"Be careful, Xiao Ai!"

The next second, the green-haired girl's body twisted and mutated, and she swelled up like a rapidly inflated balloon, exploding into a large piece of black debris.

One of the fragments grew sharp teeth and claws and pounced on Aine, but Deng quickly pushed Aine away. The latter narrowly avoided the attack, but a bloody mark was still left on her shoulder.

"hiss!"

After landing, the monster let out a sharp hiss and tried to pounce again, but just as it was gathering strength, it was nailed to the ground by a sharp crossbow arrow. After struggling unwillingly for a while, it turned into a pool of black pus.

"Everyone, be careful,"

Seeing that her attack was effective, Yao Lenai calmly turned around and whispered instructions, which brought the shocked others back to their senses. They also found that the other black fragments had also condensed into small monsters. They were nervous and subconsciously raised their mechanical crossbows.

The five members of mygo fired a flurry of shots, but except for Yao Lenai, the others were using this weapon for the first time, and the crossbow bolts were easily dodged by the small monsters. One of them roared and aimed at Shiina Riki.

"Damn..."

After seeing their speed, Li Xi didn't think she could dodge without getting hurt. She gritted her teeth and tried to quickly turn sideways, but the monsters had already jumped over.

"boom,"

However, before its fangs touched Lixi, a bullet directly blew up its body in mid-air, and black liquid splashed everywhere. The dazed Lixi also saw a figure wearing a black wolf mask suddenly rushing out of the alley, raising a pistol, aiming at the monster and pulling the trigger continuously.

Even though the monsters were constantly dodging and jumping, most of the bullets hit their targets, and nearly half of the monsters were instantly destroyed. At the same time, Hailing heard an incomprehensible sound in her ears.

"You actually ran out in this situation? Are you crazy?! You're alone."

"I have my reasons. You don't need to worry about them."

After looking at Li Xi who was relatively safe, Hai Ling breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the trigger at another monster, firing the last bullet.

As their fellow monsters were blown up, all the remaining monsters quickly turned around and pounced on Hailing. In just a few seconds, they crossed a distance of more than ten meters and surrounded her who had just changed the magazine.

At this moment, Hailing's heart was calm. She sighed lightly, raised her gun and prepared to face her death in the battle.

"Oh, what a mess it is,"

Following a slightly angry complaint, the next moment all the monsters were blown away by an invisible force accompanied by rapid Latin chanting. They slammed into the wall and exploded, and the remaining enemies were destroyed.

Such a sudden change made everyone stunned. A moment later, a familiar figure came over to Li Xi, making her startled.

"...Rinrinko-senpai?"

"It's a good thing you're all okay, Lixi, otherwise I don't know how I'm going to explain this to the boss."

Rinrinzi shrugged helplessly, then turned to look at Hailing next to her.

"I am also very grateful to this hunter. Without your help, there would definitely be casualties, and then it would be really irreversible."

"This is what I should do,"

After realizing the current situation, Hailing nodded to her calmly and bowed.

"Shinji-senpai, I'm here on a mission commissioned by the Toyokawa family. Now that Toyokawa Shoko already knows about these things...does Ms. Tsuzuki have any other special ideas?"

"The boss isn't particularly concerned about this. After all, she's a child of the Toyokawa family, and she doesn't want to interfere too much."

Rinrinko shook her head, then raised her hand to gesture towards the two bodies of the girls on the ground.

"You take them away first, I will clean up the other traces."

"Thanks,"
