mygo, but Cthulhu

Xiangzi sighed, while Deng blinked in confusion, not knowing what expression to make.

"Although I've long known that this kind of special power is amazing...but can you actually make someone pregnant out of thin air?"

"...To be honest, it sounds a little unbelievable, but you probably have no reason to lie to us."

Lixi pursed her lips. After learning the reason why Xiangzi left crychic and her recent experience, her original anger completely disappeared. Instead, she felt sorry for Xiangzi from the bottom of her heart.

"I'm sorry, Xiangzi, I was a little rude to you before..."

"It's okay, I was just too stubborn before."

Xiangzi shook his head silently, and at this time Aiyin looked at Xiangzi's lower abdomen thoughtfully, and after hesitating, she sighed and spoke softly,

"Well, everyone, I think I may know the origin of this child."

“You are saying

Really? Aine? "

Su Shi had just recovered from the shock of this news. When she heard Aine's words, she quickly turned to look at her, and the pink-haired girl nodded thoughtfully.

"Although I can't guarantee it, I have some idea about this aspect... Oh, I don't think I've told you the details of my failed study abroad experience yet."

Her expression became somewhat helpless, and she slowly began to narrate,

"After graduating from junior high school, I had originally planned to study abroad in London, England. However, a distant relative of mine in the United States suddenly contacted me and invited me to study abroad at Miskatonic University in Arkham, a small town in New England. Because it was much better than the school I had previously booked, I changed my plan."

"It was difficult for me to fit in there at first, but luckily she was always trying her best to help me, so I gradually adapted to life there... until I found many strange records and an ancient book in the library."

"what have you found?"

The impatient Li Xi couldn't help but ask a question, and Ai Yin waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to worry, and continued to speak seriously.

"Among those seemingly absurd legends, I discovered that in the early 20th century, a terrifying incident occurred in a village called Dunwich near Arkham. The source of the incident was an albino woman who became pregnant out of wedlock."

Hearing this, everyone realized something and their expressions became more serious.

"No one in the village knew how she got pregnant. After all, no man was willing to approach her because of her appearance. Meanwhile, all we know is that her father seemed to have performed some kind of ceremony with her."

"Her offspring's appearance was indescribably strange, and he always kept his lower body covered... After he sneaked into a university and was accidentally mauled to death by a dog, witnesses discovered that his lower body was completely unhuman, but rather a hideous, grotesque structure of tentacles."

"Huh? Killed by a dog?"

Li Xi couldn't help but question it at this time.

"If he was a monster, he should be more powerful, right? Why was he killed by a dog?"

"I don't know that either. That's what the records say."

Aiyin spread her hands.

"When it died, the three professors heard it mutter the last word, Yog-Sothoth. When they went to expel its brothers, it also called out the same name for its father."

"...Yog-Sothoth,"

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips and repeated the name thoughtfully, while looking at the wound on her body that had almost healed.

This recovery speed was definitely not normal. Could it be that this child had some special qualities? Was Yog-Sothoth the culprit behind her misery?

"Aine, what exactly is Yog-Sothoth? Is it some kind of monster? Or something even more terrifying?"

"...I had the same question as you, Xiangzi, so I looked up more books in the library and eventually found an ancient and dangerous book."

Aine sighed after being silent, her eyes filled with a depressed haze.

"Its name is 'The Book of the Dead'. I only opened the first page when I was gripped by the mysterious force that gripped my soul... Even though the words were terrifying and strange, I couldn't help but continue reading."

"The ancient history written there was mysterious and beyond my imagination. The indescribable monsters, gods, and other intelligent races almost made me forget to breathe. But I simply couldn't stop, and I kept flipping through the pages frantically as my sanity faded."

"Luckily, my friend called me at the critical moment, and I was able to break free from this terrifying attraction before I went completely crazy. I only remember that I threw away the half-read Necronomicon in a panic and returned to Japan as quickly as possible... I didn't even have time to say goodbye to my friend."

Then she looked seriously at Toyokawa Shoko and the others,

"Xiangzi, and everyone else, I'm telling you this to let you know that although we've inevitably entered this dangerous world, we don't necessarily have to understand these taboos."

"Although knowing this will help us, it also means the possibility of madness. I understand this very well. So, if you trust me, I think it's best to keep this information to myself. Just let me know any intelligence you have..."

"Xiao Ai, don't say that,"

Gao Songdeng interrupted her seriously and softly, while holding Aine's hand tightly, making her startled for a moment.

"tomorin..."

"Since Xiao Ai has endured this kind of pain, then of course we can't do nothing. Let us bear it with you, Xiao Ai. I believe we can face it together, because we are mygo. Even if we get lost, we must move forward together."

"Yeah, Deng is right. If you, Aine, can handle it, then there's no reason why we can't."

Li Xi shrugged, and Su Shi couldn't help but sigh at her hopeless words.

"Ritsuki, I know you're affirming Aine's will, but please don't say it as if you're belittling her... Can't you be more frank?"

"Well, anyway, I probably mean what Su Shi said."

Li Xi was stunned for a moment and nodded vigorously, while Su Shi could only sigh, and then nodded seriously to Ai Yin.

"I don't think you need to worry, Aine. Since we're here, it means we're mentally prepared and won't back down because of this forbidden knowledge."

"Well, since everyone has decided, I'll say it."

Aiyin took a deep breath nervously, but before she could speak, an old and familiar voice sounded first.

"Yog-Sothoth, one of the most powerful Outer Gods born from the nameless mist, is the One to all things. He is the door, the key, and the gatekeeper."

"He symbolizes time, space, and truth. In other words, He is the very essence of all of these things. All of us are essentially part of Him, and He is not something we can comprehend. To us, He is like a vast mountain range before an ant, or even countless times more exaggerated. In short, we cannot imagine His power."

As these words were uttered, everyone felt a very clear sense of dizziness. Toyokawa Shoko even felt a strange pain in her lower abdomen, which made her tremble.

"Uh-huh,"

The next moment, a hand pressed on her abdomen, releasing a bright crimson light, and she immediately felt much better and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She opened her eyes and saw that it was Tsuzuki Shifune who helped her. The old man looked at her with a complicated expression. She sighed and withdrew her hand after confirming that she was in better condition.

"This is what we know about Yog-Sothoth."

Chapter 59: Help from the Tsuzuki Poetry Ship

"Since Yog-Sothoth is so powerful, why would He allow a weak and ignorant human like me to bear His offspring? Even if it's purely for the sake of reproduction, shouldn't He choose a better mother?"

After recovering from the shock, Toyokawa Shoko asked with genuine confusion, while Tsuzuki Shisen shook his head.

"The mindset of His existence is beyond our comprehension... But from my understanding, He wouldn't choose you on His own initiative, just like the albino woman who was chosen because of a ritual.

That attracted His attention.”

"Your pregnancy is likely the result of deliberate manipulation by some force, but don't worry. I'm already doing my best to investigate, and I should have a response soon."

After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips hesitantly, sighed, and looked up at her.

"But I have something to ask you... Do you hate this child who appeared out of nowhere?"

"...It's impossible not to hate it. After all, it's messed up my life, and it's not even a human child. Although I'm glad I haven't been hurt by any pervert, it's impossible for me to like it."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed after a moment of silence, then looked at her doubtfully.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"You...are a lot like your grandmother. I used to be in a band with her, and she also had something happen to her one day, and then she got pregnant."

After staring at her for a moment, Tsuzuki Shichuan answered softly in a trance, but then he turned his head as if suddenly awakened and shook it vigorously.

"Don't worry about my past. Let's talk about yours first... Is the Toyokawa family forcing you to give birth to this child? Did that guy Nobuo use any despicable means?"

"They did. Nobuo Toyokawa was initially suspicious about my pregnancy, but he suddenly changed his mind after receiving a phone call."

Although she was concerned about what Ms. Tsuzuki mentioned about her grandmother, Toyokawa Shoko could see that the old lady didn't want to talk about it, so she just nodded slightly.

"Is that so? No wonder they are always so eager for this kind of resource."

Tsuzuki Shifune sighed, then she took out her cell phone and calmly dialed the number. A moment later, Toyokawa Shoko heard a familiar and respectful voice.

"Ms. Tsuzuki, what can I do for you?"

"Nobuo, after you found out about Xiangzi's pregnancy, you forced her, right?"

"...As expected of you, you noticed it so quickly."

After a pause, Toyokawa Nobuo smiled.

"I suppose it's my niece who's looking for you? I'm so sorry to bother you. I might have been a little harsh when I was talking to her. You know, children can't stand adults' persistence."

"Really? So you're threatening her with her friends?"

Tsuzuki Shifune spoke softly, and the other party fell silent. After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"You misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just hope she can consider her friends a little more. After all, if she continues to be so stubborn, her friends will definitely get hurt."

"Young people will handle their own issues. I don't think you need to worry too much, Nobuo."

Tsuzuki Shifune's voice dropped slightly, and everyone felt as if the air had become inexplicably heavy.

"This is indeed your Toyokawa family's business. Logically, I shouldn't interfere, but don't forget what you owe me. You didn't take good care of Saori, and you didn't take good care of her daughter. Now, are you planning to force her granddaughter?"

"You misunderstood. How could we possibly have any ill will towards Xiangzi? After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family and my niece."

Toyokawa Nobuo smiled and answered softly, but Xiangzi could still detect a hint of nervousness in his voice, which surprised her.

In her memory, he was always a smiling man who was at ease. She had rarely seen him nervous... Ms. Tsuzuki actually had such a strong deterrent power?

"Very good. I hope you can keep this answer, Nobuo. If I find out that you have broken your promise, then the Toyokawa family will definitely pay the price for it."

"Of course, I can assure you."

There was no hint of warning in Tsuzuki Shifune's calm voice, but Toyokawa Nobuo still responded immediately at an extremely fast speed, as if he was afraid that he would be even a little slow in answering.

When the call ended, everyone, including Shoko, couldn't help but look at Tsuzuki Shifune in surprise. Although they knew that she was also a member of the committee, it was still beyond their imagination that she could warn the Toyokawa family so bluntly.

"Um, Ms. Tsuzuki, is it okay for you to do this?"

After hesitating for a while, Xiangzi couldn't help but speak tentatively.

"Although I don't like the Toyokawa family, they are a chaebol after all, and Toyokawa Nobuo is no simple figure... I don't question your meaning, but won't this get you into trouble?"

"Don't worry, Miss Xiangzi,"

Shinji Rinrinko smiled and spoke softly, seriously pointing to the Tsuzuki Poetry Boat.

"The boss is actually the chairman of the committee. Although the Toyokawa family is also an important member, it's okay for the boss to be in charge of this kind of thing."

"Also, you know the boss used to be in the band Miracle Crimson, right? In fact, even within the committee, the boss himself is known as Miracle Crimson. Can you guess why?"

"Is it because Ms. Tsuzuki's magic light is crimson?"

"That's partly why, but more importantly, it's because the boss single-handedly ended the crime wave."

Rinrinko smiled, and Xiangzi opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Really? Ms. Tsuzuki took out so many thugs by herself?"

"Yes, those criminals include weird cults, complete lunatics, and gangsters with completely excessive firepower."

Shinji Rinrinko shrugged.

"Tokyo was on the verge of collapse, but that day, a crimson spell enveloped all the criminals' dens, and their body tissues were shredded into a mess. Their blood also coated the walls, turning them crimson. All the chaos was cleared away in an instant... All thanks to the boss."

"It's all in the past. There's no need to talk about it so much."

Tsuzuki Shifune shook his head slightly, and Toyokawa Shoko was also stunned for a moment by the shocking information. She tried to imagine the scene and sighed with heartfelt emotion.

This kind of strength is truly terrifying... Ms. Tsuzuki looks ordinary, but she possesses this kind of high-risk power. Is this the reality of this world?

At the same time, she suddenly thought of something, and after hesitating, she looked up at Tsuzuki Shichuan.

"Speaking of which, Ms. Tsuzuki, is the Saori you just mentioned my grandmother? You said that the Toyokawa family didn't take good care of my grandmother and mother... Could it be that you know the reason why my mother committed suicide?"

At this moment, Shoko Toyokawa's heart couldn't help but pound. She had quarreled with her father because of this before, and after her father's death, she became more and more concerned about the truth.

This question has been haunting her since the moment she lost her mother. Even though her father warned her not to explore it in his suicide note, she still didn't want to give up.

“…I do know.”

Tsuzuki Shifune's expression became a little complicated. She was silent for a long time before she responded in a deep voice. Xiangzi couldn't help but want to ask,

"So……"

"But you can't know this yet. I can only tell you that the Toyokawa family is responsible for their inaction, but they are not the direct murderers... If they were, they wouldn't be alive now."

Tsuzuki Shisen sighed, then shook his head seriously at Xiangzi.
