mygo, but Cthulhu

She turned away

Open, and Mei Zhulan got up from the ground vigilantly. After a moment, she saw Ruomai suddenly turned his head to look at her. There was no longer that light and casual smile on his face, and his voice was serious for the first time.

"By the way... I'm not a drug dealer. I hope you don't make the mistake, Ranko."

Chapter 56 Questioning

Mi Zhulan looked at her home silently, but she felt that this familiar place had become a little strange. For a moment, she even hesitated whether to go in directly.

Considering the woman's skills, she could only watch her leave, and the first option she thought of was calling the police... However, after remembering Ruomai's strange reminder, she did not do so for the time being.

Even though she said she was not a drug dealer, Mei Zhulan did not completely believe it, but the vague conversation between her and her father did mention drugs, so after thinking about it, she decided not to call the police directly. She wanted to ask her father what was going on first.

She took a deep breath, made up her mind and strode forward. After opening the door, Meizhuxuan subconsciously looked over and frowned slightly when she saw her red highlights disappear.

"Lan, you just came back now...what's wrong with your hair?"

"It was cut off by that woman."

Mei Zhulan looked at him expressionlessly, observing his expression changes.

"I overheard your conversation today, and because you mentioned drugs, I followed her, and then she found me."

"But she didn't hurt me except for the warning, and she seemed to have a deeper relationship with you. I want to know what's going on... Can you tell me?"

"...I can explain."

Meizhuxuan sighed after a moment of silence, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head.

"We were not involved in any drug dealing as you said. I just talked about drugs with her."

"What exactly did you talk about?"

"You shouldn't know this yet. It's too early for you."

Meizhuxuan shook his head seriously, and Lan also frowned.

"What do you mean? What do you mean I can't know yet? If you don't confess, how can I know if you are lying?"

"Lan, do you think I'm a drug dealer? Am I so terrible in your eyes?"

"Of course I wouldn't have thought so in the past, but now you're hiding something very important from me, so even if I don't want to, I have to doubt you, Dad."

Mei Zhulan stared at him coldly, raising her voice slightly.

"Tell me, what did she and you talk about? What have you been hiding from me all this time? Since you've let me learn flower arrangement, I have the right to know. I'm not a child."

"Not now. Wait until you finish college. Then I'll tell you."

Meizhuxuan shook his head resolutely, while Lan couldn't help but sneer.

"Wait until I finish college? I'm afraid you'll be arrested by the police before then. Haven't you always told me to focus on the responsibilities of flower arrangement? Do you think you have the right to teach me that now?"

"The situation here is not as simple as you think, Lan,"

Meizhuxuan sighed.

"I know this will only be a burden to you. What you need to do now is to focus on playing in the band with your friends instead of worrying about other things. I can handle these, and I don't need your help for the time being."

"What are you talking about? You act like you're certain I'll only cause trouble."

Mei Zhulan clenched her fists.

"It's you, the one who's causing all the worry, who's doing something dangerous. I've already noticed everything, and you're asking me to keep pretending I know nothing? How is that even possible?!"

"...I knew I couldn't convince you."

Meizhuxuan was silent for a while and then shook his head. Then his expression became more serious.

"What if I tell you that knowing this now is likely to put your friends in harm's way?"

"What...what do you mean by this? Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just stating the facts. You're not ready yet. If you know too soon, you'll only feel pain. Your friends will obviously try to help you, which will put them in danger."

Meizhuxuan raised his voice.

"After knowing this situation, will you still insist?"

"..."

Lan didn't know what to say for a moment. She hesitated and wanted to speak, but when she thought of Mocha and the others, she couldn't make a sound.

"You care about them a lot. If that's the case, then you should know better than to keep asking."

Meizhuxuan sighed softly.

"Sorry Lan, I promise I'll tell you everything later, just don't worry about it for now, okay?"

Lan pursed her lips grimly, and before she could say anything else, a worried and doubtful female voice suddenly rang out.

"What's going on? Lan, Xuan, are you guys arguing?"

"Mom, why did you come out?"

Mei Zhulan saw her coming out and quickly stepped forward to support her. She was relieved after confirming that she was in good condition.

"Your health has not been good, so you should get more rest."

"I'm fine. I'd feel bad if I stayed in bed all day... So were you guys arguing just now? What was it about?"

"No, my father and I didn't have a fight. We just had different opinions on a question about flower arrangement."

Lan forced a smile and shook her head, while Meizhuxuan nodded seriously and stepped forward to support her as well.

"Yeah, we're just trying to please Hanamichi, that's all. You don't have to worry."

Meizhuxuan slowed down his voice to comfort her, and Liangmei nodded gently, looking much more relieved.

"Is that so? That's good. You two can't quarrel. We've finally gotten back to our relationship, and we can't go back to the way it was before."

"...Yeah, we know, Mom."

After a moment of silence, Mizukami nodded silently and sighed silently.

Since there was a possibility that Mocha and the others would be hurt, she really didn't have the courage to ask any further questions, and she was afraid that this was the only way to end it.

...She is such a coward.

Chapter 57 Ruomai's Family

"Modern synthetic drugs like methamphetamine and cocaine will severely damage neurons, causing irreversible distortions in the brain and infinitely raising the threshold for dopamine secretion... In other words, drugs alter physiological structures."

"It's not impossible to overcome drug addiction through willpower, but willpower can't change physiological dependence. Once you're addicted to drugs, you'll have to endure the addiction for the rest of your life, which will inevitably cause you great psychological torture and lead to a self-destructive dependence..."

Yutenji Ruomai silently flipped through the book in her hand. Her eyes fell on these objective words. After a while, she pulled the corner of her mouth.

She sighed deeply, rubbed her temples, checked the time, walked into the drug rehabilitation center, and showed the appointment information to the front desk.

"Hello, this is my application. I want to visit a drug addict."

"Okay, here's the temporary pass, please take it."

The receptionist smiled and nodded slightly, and soon Ruomai got the relevant documents, and the security guards who had been watching her cautiously turned their eyes away.

Continue to observe your surroundings carefully.

Ruomai secretly admired their work ethic, but considering the high annual fee required for this high-end drug rehabilitation center, she felt it was worth the money.

She followed the instructions and came to the special ward, where the doctor was already waiting. He glanced awkwardly at the young man across the glass who was tied to the restraint chair with a dull look on his face, and shook his head helplessly at her.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yutenji. I've tried my best, but your brother's symptoms are truly bizarre."

"No matter how I change the plan, he keeps repeating words like monsters and murlocs. I suspect he may have suffered some serious trauma before, but even psychologists are having trouble treating him effectively... I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, doctor. I'm mentally prepared."

Ruomai sighed, and with a complicated look, she looked at her only relative still alive in this world, then moved closer to the glass and waved to him.

"Mitsusaku, how are you feeling now? Are you okay?"

"……sister?"

Mitsuru looked at her blankly, and it took him a while to recognize her face. He looked around blankly and wanted to get up but was tied firmly to the chair and could not move.

"Where am I? Why am I tied up? Sister, where are mom and dad?"

"...Mom and Dad haven't been found yet. Half a year ago, you planned to come to Tokyo to visit me, but I didn't wait for you. Eventually, the police found you at a drug addict's orgy. You were naked, crying about fish-men, sacrifices, and monsters, with more than five different types of drugs in your system."

Ruomai sighed again.

"After that, you've been acting crazy and your lucid moments are rare. The doctor said it's less like the effects of drugs and more like some kind of mental trauma... Guangsaku, try to recall what exactly happened to you back then."

"me……"

Mitsuru opened his eyes wide in bewilderment. He tried hard to recall the past, but soon his expression became filled with pain.

"I... I was traveling with my parents. When we got to the outskirts of Tokyo, my dad suggested we go see if there were any good places to visit first, and then take you along..."

"We saw some very special jewels. They seemed to be very old. Dad was very interested in them, so, so..."

"Then what? What happened then?"

Ruomai asked eagerly and quickly, and Guangsaku began to tremble. He seemed to be trying hard to maintain his will, but soon, he collapsed without any warning and cried miserably.

"And then they all died! There was a group of people, no, a group of monsters chasing us. Dad was shattered and eaten. We were running away, but we couldn't escape... Help! Help!"

His face was distorted and he was talking nonsense. Then he suddenly twitched again and looked up at her in pain and pleading.

"Sister, please, kill me, or give me some drugs, just a little bit, please, sister... I really can't stand it! I can't think about those things, I want to forget, I must forget!"

"Guangsaku, cheer up. I believe you can overcome your fear. Tell me quickly, what happened to you? Who attacked you?"

"Wuwuwu... I can't think about it, sister, I really can't think about it... Ahhhhh! Give me drugs! Even just one shot, please!"

He struggled frantically, and soon the nurses rushed in. They quickly gave him a sedative, and Guangsaku gradually calmed down.

"..."

Looking at his face that still showed fear even in deep sleep, Ruomai could not help but grit his teeth, his heart filled with anger that had nowhere to vent.

All the drug addicts who were with him were interrogated one by one, but they could not provide much information. They only said that Guangsaku ran over like a madman that day, so they invited him to join. They knew nothing else.

Even though she used hacking techniques to investigate several times, she only found that her family disappeared after leaving the hotel. They seemed to have gone to a remote place without surveillance, so she had no way to dig deeper.

"Damn it,"

She tried to calm herself down and waved her hand impatiently to the doctor as a farewell. After leaving the drug rehabilitation center and coming to a quiet corner, she took out her cell phone and dialed the number. She spoke softly and calmly.

"Hello, Ms. Egret, I hope you can provide me with two relatively healthy human sacrifices, is that okay?"

"Since it is Mr. Ghost's request, then of course it is no problem."

The person on the other side had anticipated her request and responded softly with a smile.

"Is it to inject them with drugs first so that Mr. Meizhu can determine the standard for the spell when conducting the experiment? I'm happy to help."

"Thank you very much. I will definitely..."

"Don't worry about the cost, Mr. Ghost. I just hope you can do me a small favor."

The other party interrupted her softly, the tone was gentle but could not be refused.

"I'd like to ask you to keep an eye on the Toyokawa family's recent plans. The son-in-law who married into the family is now dead, and they seem to be particularly interested in Toyokawa Shoko. I want to know the real reason for her pregnancy."

"...A lot of people are paying attention to her right now, so I can't make any big moves. You're really putting me in a difficult position."

Ruomai pursed his lips, while the person opposite him just smiled.

"Don't worry, I just need you to keep an eye on it. After all, you're her teammate, so it should be easy for you to get the relevant information. I won't set a time limit either. Just tell me when you know something. It's that simple."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

"Thank you very much. The human sacrifice will be delivered promptly. I wish your brother a speedy recovery."

The call was hung up, and Ruomai looked at the phone screen silently, and sighed heavily after a while.

"...I hope everything goes well."

Chapter 58: Chihaya Aine, the Deserter from Michi University

In the end, Shoko Toyokawa chose to confess her story to everyone. She no longer had the strength to hold on, and she could no longer bear to make Deng sad.

"Xiangzi...is pregnant?"

In the practice room of the ring, everyone was stunned by what Xiangzi said. After a moment, Deng spoke slowly and blankly.

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but I haven't done that kind of thing, and I think I still should."
