"No!"

As Touko's shrill roar rang out, Minato Yukina's perception slowed down again. She clearly saw the blonde girl rushing towards her at high speed with a distorted face, and she did not hesitate to let the notes pour out towards her.

This speed is not enough, you will be hit. You must run faster, faster... Run faster, Toruko Kiritani!

While roaring madly in his mind, Touzi ignored the terrible pain coming from his body, and without hesitation activated the power of Sian Westin to the maximum, gritting his teeth and rushing towards the sea of ​​notes.

At extreme speed, the blurry blond figure swung the weapon in his hand to the limit, directly piercing the weak point of the note. When it exploded, Touko also forcibly passed through the first layer of barrier net and rushed directly in front of Minato Yukina.

As long as we kill her, we will have the upper hand... I must succeed, I will definitely succeed!

Toruko Kiritani screamed desperately in her heart, raised her blade and slashed at Yukina Minato's neck, but when her katana was about to touch the fair skin, she heard a voice full of contempt.

"Do you think you're the only one who installed Sian Westin?"

"clang,"

The long sword formed by musical notes blocked Tohru's weapon, and while she was stunned, she saw that Minato Yukina's movements suddenly became as fast as hers, no, even faster than hers!

"Although it's a low-level cybernetics, I can see that you're almost willing to sacrifice your life to receive the enhancement. I admire your determination, but unfortunately, this can't change your mediocre talent in combat... Goodbye."

When the voice reached her ears, Toruko Kiritani also saw that Yukina Minato had turned around. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop her, but then she saw the tip of her finger suddenly fall to the ground, and the cut was extremely smooth.

"……what?"

She spoke in a daze, and at the same time, the dissipating notes also overflowed from her skin. Toruko Kiritani saw that her palms were like neatly cut steaks, and pieces slowly fell to the ground. At the same time, this change instantly spread to her whole body.

After realizing what had happened, Toruko Kiritani's expression was filled with despair and reluctance. She subconsciously turned to look at Mashiro and the others, and tried to take a step weakly, but her whole body was gradually collapsing.

"Mashiro, Ruui, Nanami..."

She whimpered and made her last sound, and at the same time, neat lines of blood gradually appeared on her face. The next second,

In an instant, it turned into large, neat pieces of meat scattered all over the ground.

"...Touko?"

Kurata Mashiro stood there in a daze, muttering in disbelief. A moment later, her face twisted as she desperately rushed towards the bloody scene, but her legs were cut directly by the black energy and she fell heavily to the ground.

"Now, you can understand how painful I was at that time, right? Kurata Mashiro."

Hikawa Sayo walked to her side with a smile, looked down at her and spoke softly, but Kurata Mashiro could not hear her voice at all. Even though her spells were sealed by Sayo's power, she still crawled forward desperately, reaching out to the pile of meat that once belonged to her friend with tears in her eyes.

"Touko..."

"Click,"

Her palm was stomped hard on the ground by Sayo's shoe sole, and the crisp sound of bones breaking was heard as it was crushed back and forth. Kurata Mashiro's vision was shaking because of the severe pain, and at the same time she heard Ruwei's shrill and crazy roar.

"Toruko! Minato Yukina... I'll kill you!"

All her rationality was burned out by the pain, and she raised her smart rifle and aimed it at Yukina Minato. However, before she pulled the trigger, her hands flew out along with the gun. If it weren't for the shield that Qi Shen subconsciously released, her body would probably have been cut in half.

"You can't kill me with hatred alone, Yashio Rui, and I'm sure you won't have the chance again."

Minato Yukina sneered and approached Nanami and Ruwei, who were covered in blood. Kurata Mashiro begged for mercy with tears in his eyes and stretched out his other hand weakly towards Minato Yukina's back.

"Please, don't kill them. I killed Hikawa Hina. Kill me, don't hurt them..."

"Boom,"

The next second, she was kicked hard in the mouth by Saya. Kurata Mashiro felt the broken teeth cutting open her mouth, and as the smell of blood filled the air, her hair was grabbed roughly, and she was forced to look up to face Saya's distorted and hateful face.

"You have no right to beg, Kurata Mashiro. When you killed my sister, you should have thought this would happen... Don't worry, I promise you won't die so easily. You will watch your friends die one by one in front of you, and finally it will be your turn."

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

"I told you, you have no right to beg!"

Mashiro trembled and tried hard to squeeze out a sound, and then her face was smashed heavily on the hard ground. She could hear the sound of her nose bone and eyeballs breaking, but even so, Sayo had no intention of stopping. She continued to press her head down with a sneer, causing Mashiro's face to be ground into pieces of blood and flesh on the ground.

...Is there really nothing we can do? Is this the end of us?

Seeing Mashiro being tortured, Hiromachi Nanami felt more and more desperate. She trembled and subconsciously touched the Blood of Iger in her pocket, but she knew that with her current magic power it would be difficult to urge it quickly. This time was enough for Minato Yukina to kill them more than a dozen times.

"Roselia, why do you want to take revenge to this extent?"

At this moment, a tired voice suddenly sounded. Shirogane Rinko was stunned for a moment, then her face suddenly twisted and she turned her head quickly. After seeing the pink-haired girl who cursed day and night, she couldn't help but tremble and roared madly.

"Chihaya Aine!"

She raised her hand to cast a spell, but the next moment her palm was smashed by a flying stone. As she fell to her knees, an indescribable strange larvae stretched out of her wound and quickly began to repair her flesh and blood. After seeing this, Aine couldn't help but sigh, and her expression became more complicated and bitter.

"To gain power, you even let yourself become a vessel for the Son of Aihot... Is it really worth it?"

"What the hell do you, a monster, know?! Stop sighing over there with such self-righteousness. It's making me sick to my stomach! I'm about to throw up!"

Rinko trembled as she desperately tried to endure the wriggling and excruciating pain within her body, and she roared in hatred in response. Aine sighed again, stared at her for a moment, and then spoke softly.

"Shirogane Rinko, I understand that you must want to kill me... so, I have a proposal."

"I won't listen to anything you monster say! Shut up!"

"I can let you complete your revenge. You can kill me in any way you want, and I won't resist...as long as you agree to one condition."

Aine didn't care about Rinko's roar and continued speaking calmly. After she finished speaking, everyone in Roselia couldn't help but be stunned. Minato Yukina frowned and thought for a moment, then in an instant she cut off all the limbs of Nanami and Ruwei. After confirming that they should have no ability to resist, she turned her head and looked at Aine indifferently.

"Are you planning some conspiracy?"

"I promise I have no intention of deceiving you."

Aine responded seriously, and at the same time she couldn't help but glance at Hikawa Sayo who was still torturing Kurata Mashiro. She sighed and walked in front of her, raising her hand to stop her actions.

"At least stop for a moment now, okay?"

"...If you are fooling us, I will make you feel the pain you are feeling now."

Hikawa Sayo looked at her for a moment, then whispered something expressionlessly, and kicked Mashiro hard before reluctantly moving away. The latter trembled and barely raised his head, and although his face was already bloody, he still desperately reached out to Touko's flesh.

"Don't worry, I'll help you."

Aine whispered soothingly, then transferred the pile of meat into Mashiro's arms. The latter couldn't help but sob and cry when she felt the sticky, broken warmth, while Minato Yukina also asked coldly in a low voice at this time.

"Why are you helping her? She killed Yutenji Wakami. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have to endure so much."

"Yeah, but to be honest, Ruomai and I aren't that familiar with each other, and she's really pathetic."

Aine responded seriously, then looked around at the traces of battle and sighed deeply.

"I understand that you must kill her... but as long as her friends can promise not to seek revenge against you, then there's no need to kill them, right?"

"Of course it's necessary. How can we be sure they're not lying? And their friends are dead, how could they possibly give up revenge?"

Minato Yukina sneered and waved his hand impatiently.

"Stop talking nonsense, Chihaya Aine, and tell me quickly, what is your condition?"

"...My condition is that you can kill me, but you can't take revenge on Mygo and other people from Mujica. I also promise that they won't attack you because of my death."

After a moment of silence, Aine slowly spoke, and after a moment of hesitation, Minato Yukina couldn't help but laugh, her voice full of contempt and sarcasm.

"Are you kidding, Chihaya Aine? I heard what happened that day from Rinko. Besides you, that Nagasaki Suyo must also die... Moreover, your friends will definitely seek revenge on us. What can you promise us?"

"I will try my best to persuade them..."

"Your persuasion is meaningless. They will never forget your death, just as we will never forget the deaths of Ako and Lisa... Are you delusional enough to sacrifice yourself to sever the chains of hatred? Unfortunately, this is no longer just your problem."

凑友

Hina interrupted her without hesitation, and Aine trembled at this moment. Her shaky sanity made her realize that what Hina said was absolutely right. She had no way to stop this, and her last effort was still meaningless.

"Yes, you're right. In my final moments, I couldn't help but indulge in this beautiful fantasy... But I should have known long ago that this vortex of hatred and madness could no longer be stopped. Clinging to fantasy will only lead to despair."

Aiyin smiled bitterly and sighed, then glanced at Morfonica and the others lying in a pool of blood, closed her eyes tiredly, gave up and let the madness devour everything she had.

"So now I understand. You are an extremely serious threat. If I don't kill you, then my friends might become like Kurata Mashiro and the others... I can never allow such a future."

When she opened her eyes again, there was only a horrible blood color in them, and her voice was filled with extremely cold murderous intent.

"roselia, you must die."

Chapter 372: Fatigue, Anger, and Pain

"…She's an AI, but she's more human than many people I know."

Ozawa Misaki looked helplessly at where Amoris had been and sighed deeply with fatigue, while Hatsuho also spoke calmly and softly at this time.

"Misaki-nee, what do you think human nature is?"

"Of course, it's about valuing the quality of life, and striving for something better. Until the very end, she hoped we could escape from this, from this ruin filled with despair and carnage..."

"However, she didn't succeed, did she? She worked hard for what you called humanity, but in the end, it only created an opportunity for Bai Lu Qian Sheng, and almost caused humanity to perish in a dream."

The girl interrupted her calmly, her voice full of indifference and determination.

"Now the people outside know about our situation. But when they realize that the entire world could be destroyed by the dangerous factors here, what will they do? Will they really help us? I don't think such a beautiful thing will happen."

"Hatsuho, don't say that..."

"I'm only telling the truth, Misaki-nee. The fact is, the better the intentions, the more likely they are to cause horrific damage. In today's Tokyo, disregarding human life is actually a quality that is more highly valued."

She stared at Misaki and then spoke frankly, words that made her eyes widen.

"And even if she hadn't begged me to do so, I would have killed her anyway, because she was trying to disrupt the current order, and I cannot tolerate such behavior."

"...Why? Your mother and sister were clearly also victims of Genmaki's violence, so why do you still support her so-called order?"

After a moment's silence, Ozawa Misaki asked in a low voice, full of incomprehension, and the girl smiled calmly. She stared at Rin on the bed for a moment, then suddenly spoke softly.

"Misaki-nee, do you know why I became friends with your sister?"

"why?"

"On my first day at school, I told everyone about my ingratitude. All the other kids were disgusted by my behavior and didn't want to sit at the same table with me... Only Li Yin was willing to sit with me. When I asked her about it, do you know what she said?"

The girl smiled and looked up at Misaki, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"She said: You must have been very scared at that time. But don't worry, this is the controlled area of ​​​​Xianjuan Group, it's safe here."

"Misaki-nee, when I heard those words, the girl's shrill screams in my mind suddenly vanished. It's not because I stopped blaming myself, but because I finally found an excuse to relax... I'm safe in the controlled area. Neither I nor anyone else needs to worry about a sudden appearance of a madman, nor do we need to worry about another uncontrollable, horrific incident... because I know that Genmaki Shin will protect her important assets."

"..."

Ozawa Misaki frowned and stared at her, gradually realizing what she meant. Her mood became more depressed and irritated. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

"That's right, Sister Misaki. My mother and sister both died because of Genmaki Shinko. But they ultimately made the wrong choice. They stood against order, so their death was only natural... I will grieve for them, but I won't hate Genmaki Shinko, because it's meaningless."

The girl raised her hand and pointed at Rin, who was still unconscious. She looked up at Misaki's complicated gaze and raised her voice seriously.

"Misaki-nee, humans are very fragile creatures, not only physically but also mentally... Your sister, my friend, said something at the time that made me understand this. No matter what order itself looks like, people need it to survive. Even the worst order is better than no order at all."

"Yes, Genmaki Shin has now completely turned into a tyrant. She has slaughtered tens of thousands of people who opposed her. She has allowed prosthetics, drugs, and guns to proliferate, and has allowed companies to control Tokyo... But she has created order, and that is the most important thing."

"Even if this order is just a means for her to gain power? Even if this order will only poison everyone? Tokyo in the past would never be like this..."

"We live in the present, not the past, Misaki-nee."

Hatsuho interrupted her softly, her calm voice carrying a hint of pity. Misaki was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was her pity for herself.

"It seems to me that you've been stuck in the past, but what's the point? Your classmates have all accepted reality. You think they've been brainwashed, that they're being used as weapons by Xian Juanxin, but even they don't think so... Who are you to judge for them?"

"But they are just ordinary girls. They have endured so much and finally survived. They should rest well in a safe environment instead of willingly becoming tools for Xian Juanxin's killing..."

"Here you go again, Misaki-nee, you're saying this again. They should be this and that, the world should be this and that... But, we can't go back anymore. These so-called shoulds have long since vanished into thin air."

The girl shook her head slightly, then she walked in front of Ozawa Misaki, stared at her for a moment and spoke slowly, her pity becoming more and more obvious.

"Misaki, don't you realize that the kindness you've always insisted on is useless? Why did everyone still support Genmaki Shin so fervently even though she killed so many people? Because they don't care about the dead. No one really cares about those who died, except you."

"So, do the dead have any meaning to us? No, they are just a symbol. You oppose Xian Juanxin and the order of the company for this symbol. But can you replace her? Can you let a better order replace the company? Can you make Tokyo return to the way you wanted it to be?"

"..."

Ozawa Misaki was left speechless by her questioning. She hesitantly tried to imagine herself as the person in power, but she simply couldn't bring it to mind.

"Your silence is an answer, Sister Misaki. It seems that you also know that you can't be a leader. So, if you really let Xian Juanxin no longer be in power, who can take over her responsibilities? Charlotte, who started the war for her own selfish desires? Or the spiritual

Is the state of Tamade Chiyu increasingly chaotic? Can they make Tokyo a better place?

The girl continued to ask calmly, and Misaki lowered her head. She clenched her fists, and after a long while, she spoke slowly through gritted teeth.

"But even if the dead mean nothing to you, their suffering is real. Even if Tokyo cannot be without order, it does not mean that Genmaki Kokoro's atrocities can be forgiven... Even if we can't go back to the past, I will never accept such a cold-hearted woman and such a cruel reality."

"So even after I said so much, you still don't want to give up."

The girl sighed softly, and after looking at Misaki for a moment, she shook her head with emotion.

"Misaki-nee, you always say you don't accept selfishness, but in my opinion, you are actually the most selfish one. I am also a product of your selfishness."
