mygo, but Cthulhu

"Thank you for your advice, this, um..."

Thinking of this, Kasumi Toyama couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. She was so surprised that she subconsciously wanted to thank her, but halfway through she realized that she didn't know her name yet.

"Just call me Hatsuho,"

The girl said softly, then turned and waved to them.

"Come with me. I know where that girl is now. Fortunately, she is only addicted to smoking and has not become an alcoholic yet. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to communicate with her when she is sober."

She walked forward while complaining, and Kasumi hurriedly followed, but she couldn't help but feel a little confused and asked tentatively in a low voice.

"Hatsuho, thank you for helping us... But you don't seem very satisfied with Misaki?"

"Oh, of course I'm not satisfied, because her sister is my friend, and even when she was painfully questioned by her own sister, she still refused to give up her pathetic persistence, until she became so deserted by everyone... Liyin has always been sad because of her, so I have to find a way to cheer her up."

The girl sighed deeply and led them to a room without saying much. She knocked on the door gently. After a moment, the door opened automatically, and thick smoke came in.

"Ahem, this guy is still smoking?!"

The girl choked and rushed in angrily. After turning on the light, she snatched the cigarette from Ozawa Misaki's hand. She also reached out tiredly to take it back subconsciously.

"Stop messing around, give it back to me..."

"Snapped!"

A loud slap was heard, and Kasumi, who had just walked into the room, was stunned. She looked at the red mark on Ozawa Misaki's face in confusion, blinked once, and turned her gaze in disbelief to the girl with an angry face.

Hatsuho... slapped Misaki?

"...Why do you all like to beat me? Do I really deserve a beating?"

Ozawa Misaki seemed to accept the result well. She even sighed with a habitual expression and asked in a low voice with some helplessness, and the girl sneered.

"I'm trying to help you wake up. If you keep going like this, even your prosthetic lungs will be damaged. What's the point of being addicted to nicotine and tar? Cheer up."

"I never thought I'd be lectured by a kid... But, it doesn't make any difference whether I cheer up or not, right? After all, Sinjuku-shin will still hold supreme power, and no matter how much I do, I won't be able to change anything, right?"

Ozawa Misaki gave a weak smile, shook her head and was about to lie down on the bed, but the next moment, Hatsuho's calm voice made her open her eyes again.

"What if I tell you that you can actually do something?"

Chapter 387 Chaotic Spirit

Sanjiao Chuhua curled up in the dark closet, trembling and covering his head tightly, his distorted face full of tears of despair.

"No... I won't be like what Nagasaki Suyo said. I can still dedicate everything to Xiaoxiang. Yes, I can definitely do it..."

She sobbed and whispered to comfort herself, but her heart was still full of confusion and fear. She seemed to hear the sound of her mother chewing her friend's flesh and blood, as well as the screams of pain.

"Chuhua! Help! Chuhua! Why don't you save us?! Chuhua!"

"Shut up! Stop bothering me!"

Sanjiao Chuhua screamed and wailed. She tried her best to cover her ears, but the screams of the friends she had killed still echoed in her mind and she could not block them out no matter what.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I know this is all my fault, but I really had no choice at the time. Mom cried and begged me again and again... I, I really had no choice. I'm sorry..."

She sobbed and trembled, trying to suppress all the horrible memories of her past and trying her best to transform the trauma of her childhood into the familiar distorted love for Xiangzi.

Oh, why didn't she go find Xiaoxiang? As long as she could hold Xiaoxiang's body, she would never feel this pain again, and she would put everything behind her...

This thought flashed through Chu Hua's confused mind, and she subconsciously crawled out of the closet. However, at the same time, a strong fear arose in her heart.

She was very scared. She was afraid that what Su Shi said was true. She was afraid that after the madness in her blood was eliminated, she would no longer be able to love Xiaoxiang wholeheartedly... She had clearly decided to give everything to Xiaoxiang, so how could she betray herself?

"No, no no no... I won't do that, I absolutely won't do that..."

She trembled and quickly retreated into the closet, not caring about the bloody marks on her skin caused by the violent movement. She tried to comfort herself with tears, but the fear in her heart continued to grow uncontrollably, gradually devouring everything she had.

If she was truly certain of this, why would she be locked up here, crying uselessly? Shouldn't she continue to stay by Xiaoxiang's side, feeling her beauty and immersing herself in happiness? Why was she still so pathetic?

Admit it, Sanjiao Chuhua, you don't care about Xiaoxiang as much as you think. Otherwise, you wouldn't be afraid of these things. Your bloodline has been eliminated, so you can't love Xiaoxiang completely? That only means you were lying from the beginning.

"No! I didn't lie! I absolutely didn't lie! I love Xiaoxiang! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be able to feel the beauty at all, and I wouldn't be able to make up my mind to kill my mother..."

Sanjiao Chuhua screamed subconsciously, but when she was halfway through her words, she suddenly realized something, her expression became terrified and her voice stopped abruptly. At the same time, many mice rushed into the closet and laughed at her hoarsely.

"You finally admitted that you've wanted to kill your mother for a long time, haven't you? Xiaoxiang was just an excuse. You hated her because she was so hypocritical and ugly, saying she loved you while devouring your friends... just like you are now."

"Get out of here! I didn't let you out! Shut up!"

With a distorted face, Sanjiao Chuhua beat the mice into transparent fragments, and those fragments reflected her childhood and all her past memories.

...When she was drowned in sadness and despair, it was Xiaoxiang who appeared before her. On that day, she felt the long-lost warmth, just like what she had felt when she was with her parents as a child.

However, her mother could no longer give her any comfort, and all that was left was exhaustion and coldness. She said that she would come back after devouring Xiaoxiang, but Chuhua knew that it was just another lie from her mother who had already gone insane.

Did she kill her mother to protect Xiaoxiang? Maybe that's true, but she didn't

She would do it just for this reason... Her mother could no longer give her warmth, but Xiaoxiang could do it. She chose to swing the blade just for this reason.

Ultimately, she still loved herself, didn't she? She just used Xiaoxiang as an excuse to transfer all her grief and despair onto him... That's why, without eliminating the madness of her bloodline, she became more greedy until she lost control, because she was inherently selfish.

If Mizukami succeeds in eliminating her madness, she will have to face her past, she will endure the pain soberly, and will no longer be able to rely entirely on Xiaocai to escape it all... This is all she is afraid of.

"..."

Sanjiao Chuhua slowly crawled out of the closet and then fell heavily to the ground. She tried to get up tremblingly, but in the end she didn't have the strength to stand up. She just knelt weakly on the ground, staring blankly at her mother's blood.

It's so pitiful, Sanjiao Chuhua, you have always been denying what you have done and avoiding reality.

Now, your madness is about to be eliminated, so why are you so panicked? Are sadness and loneliness so unbearable for you?

"Yes, because that's who I am. I would rather drown in madness than be drowned in sadness and emptiness."

Sanjiao Chuhua responded softly, and she also saw herself smiling in the mirror as expected. The next moment, as the door was opened and the lights came on, her trance and confusion disappeared in an instant, and only a dizziness remained in her mind.

"Chuhua, are you okay?"

A familiar voice of worry sounded, along with his own hypocritical desire. Sanjiao Chuhua tried hard to calm himself down. After taking a deep breath, he stood up from the ground, looked up at Xiangzi and tried to force a smile.

"I'm fine, Xiaoxiang... Have you contacted Meizhulan yet?"

"I did find her...but are you really okay? You look terrible, do you need some rest?"

Toyokawa Shoko asked worriedly, and Chuhua just shook his head.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. Xiaoxiang, you don't have to worry about me."

"Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. There's no need for us to look for Mei Zhulan so quickly. You should adjust your condition first..."

"It's really not necessary, Xiaoxiang."

Sanjiao Chuhua interrupted her softly, his expression seemed extremely calm, and he met Xiangzi's gaze seriously.

"If we continue to delay, it will only increase the risk. As long as we solve our problem, we can leave this city... Or, Xiaoxiang, do you still want revenge on Kurata Mashiro?"

"No, Kurata Mashiro has already suffered a lot. Now she has lost her friends again, and she must be suffering because of this... There is no need to kill her intentionally, and I don't want to put everyone at risk because of my hatred."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head silently, and Sankaku Chuhua couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and nodded with a smile.

"In that case, let's go find Mizukari and put an end to this."

She couldn't imagine herself getting rid of her madness, she was deeply afraid of all that would happen, however, she didn't want to destroy Xiaoxiang's hope.

...It seemed that the only choice left for her was despair.

Chapter 388 Broken Relationship

"So, you came to me, hoping that I could let Popipa and her family leave?"

After hearing what Ozawa Misaki said, Genmaki Shin couldn't help but frown, and the black-haired girl also noticed her expression and her voice became cold.

"you are not willing?"

"I really want them to have a normal life, Misaki, but it's not that simple. If it was possible before, now even I can't get them to leave. The vigilance of all countries has been raised to the maximum because of the incident caused by Shirasagi Chisei... It will take me some time to reach an agreement with them."

Genmaki explained softly, and Misaki's expression became a little annoyed. She took a step closer to the blonde girl and emphasized her voice.

"Xian Juanxin, you should also know what this city is like right now. Every day they stay here is dangerous. Don't you have any other solutions?"

"I really have no other choice. The seas surrounding Tokyo are already covered with surveillance cameras, and the armies of various countries have firmly blocked all exits. If it weren't for my efforts, they would have already launched an attack to eliminate the source of danger."

Genmaki Xin shook her head calmly, and patted Misaki's shoulder comfortingly, not caring even though her hand was quickly opened by Misaki.

"Misaki, I know you really want to help them, but there's no need for them to leave so quickly. They're my allies, and that means they can have the support of the Genmaki Group in this city. But if they leave, they'll be completely isolated and helpless..."

"If you can't arrange a legal way to leave, it doesn't matter. Kasumi can use her abilities to take the others away. As long as you can deactivate the monitoring program on Tahui's prosthetic body, it will be fine."

Ozawa Misaki interrupted her softly, and Genmaki Shin was stunned for a moment before her expression became serious.

"Misaki, of course I can do this, but you have to think carefully. If other countries discover them, I won't be able to help them at all. They will die."

"I know, but they should decide for themselves whether to do this, and you can't take away their right to choose by saying it's for their own good."

Misaki responded seriously, and Genmaki could only nod helplessly. She took out her tablet, operated it for a while, and then flipped the screen towards Misaki.

"I've lifted the ban. From now on, there will be no problem for Hanazono Tae to leave the city... But I need to talk to them. They need to understand the risks of leaving rashly."

"of course can."

Misaki Ozawa nodded slightly, then opened the door and let Kasumi and the others who were waiting nervously come in. Shin Genmaki explained to them softly, and they looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then responded in a low voice.

"Senior Xin, thank you for your consideration for us, but we really don't want to stay here any longer... This city has taken too much from us, and we just want to leave now."

"Well, since you've decided to leave, I certainly won't force you to stay... I hope you can find your happiness."

Genmaki Shin sighed, and Toyama Kasumi nodded to her gratefully. After thanking her solemnly, she took Tae and Asuka out of the room. However, Misaki did not choose to follow them. She turned her head and looked at Genmaki Shin with a doubtful expression.

"You wouldn't agree to them outwardly but then secretly plot something to get them to stay, would you?"

"Is this how I appear to you, Misaki?"

Hearing her words, Genmaki Shin couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and Ozawa Misaki nodded slightly with an expressionless face.

"I told you, after everything you've done, I can no longer trust you. I have no doubt you'll kill Tae and Asuka to keep Kasumi at your disposal."

"Even if I don't consider the emotional factor, I won't do that. Kasumi has endured too much. If she loses everything she has, she will probably go completely crazy... and there is no such thing as

There are secrets that can be hidden forever. If I really did something like this, she would know the truth sooner or later. Why would I create an enemy for myself? "

"So, what if the interests allow? Would you do it?"

"...Misaki, I think you seem to have a slight misunderstanding."

After a moment of silence, Genmaki Xin slowly sighed and calmly looked up to meet Misaki's gaze.

"Interest is not something that should be despised. Rather, interest has been with us since the birth of mankind. Interest is not just a literal meaning; it is also our food and clothing, an important thing that we cannot do without."

"Similarly, interests are closely related to reality. Your question is completely meaningless. I've considered all aspects of this and wouldn't target Popipa. Why do you insist on isolating the interest factor and asking me such a meaningless question?"

"Because you've disappointed me so many times, and every time you've justified it by citing profit. The profit you speak of isn't what's necessary for us to survive; it's the massacres and reign of terror that shouldn't have happened, and the repeated decisions that obliterate humanity."

Ozawa Misaki responded softly, then walked up to her and stared into her eyes. She tried hard to find any familiar traces of the past in them, but she could only see an unfamiliar calmness and complexity.

"Xian Juanxin, you betrayed the past of all of us, and the promise you made with us."

"How many times do I have to tell you this before you understand? Misaki, we were only blinded by the fragile beauty before. We were completely unaware of the horrific nature of this world. It wasn't until blood and death took away Ikumi that I finally woke up."

Genmaki sighed softly, then sincerely extended her hand to Misaki.

"Your family won't stand by you, our classmates can't understand why you're so stubborn, and even Kaoru is starting to get angry with you, Misaki."

"I'm so tolerant of you because you're my friend, but I'm also hurt by your indifference... Please, don't continue that pointless insistence, okay?"

"..."

This was the largest number of arguments and confrontations she had with Genmaki Shin. At this moment, Ozawa Misaki no longer wanted to say anything. She was tired of it all. She knew that her friend could not come back, and she also knew that she could not leave this cage either.

Last time, she forgot to tell Xian Juanxin the truth about the chip because of her anger. So, is she going to do it now?

...Forget it. This stranger would do anything to chase after Yumei's illusion. If she knew all this, who knows how many people she would sacrifice to satisfy her selfish desires.

There is no need to say anything more, it is meaningless.

Ozawa Misaki glanced at Genmaki Kokoro's pleading expression, turned around and left silently, and waited until the door was closed before the blonde girl's outstretched hand slowly fell.

So, she was the only one left in the room, disappointed and lonely.

Chapter 389 Plan

"So... because of Bailu Qiansheng's crazy idea, you provoked Naya?"

After listening to Mei Zhulan's story, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but take a deep breath. She frowned and looked at the blonde girl, and the latter could only lower her head.

"I was just impulsive at the time. I didn't expect that even if it was just a thought, Miyashiro Orie would still be able to sense it..."

"After all, she is the incarnation of Naija, and you just ruined her plan yourself. Don't you even have this little bit of vigilance?"
