mygo, but Cthulhu

"It's okay, I don't mind... Wait, you said Umino-san had a weird dream?"

Aine shook her head slightly, but then she suddenly realized something and opened her eyes wide.

"What was that dream? When did it start?"

"Um, about a year ago? She seems to often dream about the dark deep sea, or an ancient underwater city... Where are you going, Aine?!"

Before Oohori could finish her words, Aine gritted her teeth and ran towards the room where Xia Xi and the others were. Her mind was in a mess, and only panicked and ominous speculations kept repeating in her mind.

Is Umino-san also a mixed-blood Diver?! But why did I run into her by such a coincidence?! And she's been having these dreams for a year now, doesn't that mean she's almost transformed?!

Aine ran to the door, panting rapidly. She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand tremblingly, praying desperately in her heart that she was wrong and that Umino-san just happened to have had a strange dream for a long time.

"Tear..."

After opening the door, what Aine saw was a pool of blood soaking the room. The originally festive decorations around were dyed red. The body of Umino's father fell to the ground, with a big hole dug out in his chest, and his frozen expression was full of horror and disbelief.

A fish-man monster covered with dark green scales sat in the center of the room. Its deformed body was covered with the torn flower girl's school uniform. At this moment, it was gnawing at the heads of Kawabata Maou and Mori Fumika, sucking their brain marrow.

Aine's eyes slowly fell on the remaining brown hair on the Deep Diver's head, and she recognized that it was the hair that belonged to Umino Natsuki.

So... this is transformation? Sooner or later, I'll become like this, too?

At this moment, Chihaya Aine felt indescribable despair.

Chapter 71 Aya Comes to Help

After eating the heads of its two friends, the Deep Diver slowly turned its head to look at Chihaya Aine. It tilted its head slightly, but there was no murderous intent on its extremely ugly face. Instead, there was a human-like surprise and flattery.

"Hu, roar,"

It threw the two headless corpses aside and slowly crawled towards Aine, who stared at it blankly, unable to react at all.

When it was about to touch her, the Deep One leaned forward slightly and performed a human-like courtesy, squeezing out an indistinct, sticky sound from its bloody mouth.

"Father God...Descendant, lead me back..."

"Ahhhh!"

A terrified scream interrupted its words. The Deep One turned its head angrily and saw a familiar human female falling to the ground in panic. She was wearing the same clothes as the two humans.

The same clothing signifies certain human organizations, which also signifies that

The danger needed to be eliminated as soon as possible, so the Deep Diver bared its fangs and prepared to rush towards the human female to bite off her neck, but the next second it unexpectedly saw its noble counterpart standing in its way.

"Wait! Don't kill her! She's your friend!"

Chihaya Aine was suddenly awakened by Rimi's scream, and then saw the Deep One trying to attack. She had no time to think and just subconsciously stood in front of Rimi, praying desperately for the monster in front of her.

"Fellow humans... why? Humans need to be killed..."

The Deep One looked at her in confusion, wanting to take action but afraid of hurting her, so he could only squeeze out his voice and try to persuade her.

"……similar?"

Hearing its words, Satoshi looked at Aine in confusion and fear. The latter had no time to explain anything and could only grit her teeth and wave her hands vigorously.

"Ri Shi, run quickly and call the police immediately. Someone will come to rescue us."

"Um...thank you!"

After hesitating for a moment, Satoshi nodded silently. She looked at the headless body of her friend in the room with tears in her eyes, clenched her fists, turned around and ran.

"Roar!"

Seeing her start to run away, the Deep One roared and pounced on her quickly. Although Aine thought she would not be able to react in time, her speed was beyond her expectations. She subconsciously reached out and firmly grasped the Deep One's arm. In the full-scale struggle, she actually pulled the monster back.

“Why! Why!”

Before Aine could wonder how she had suddenly become so powerful, the intercepted Deep Diver suddenly turned around and glared at her angrily. Aine gritted her teeth and stared at it, trying hard to suppress the fear that was welling up in her while desperately thinking of her words.

"Killing humans now is not important, what's important is returning... Do you understand?"

"Understood...Return..."

Apparently, due to its premature deformation, the Deep One's intelligence wasn't very high. After she gave the reason, its anger quickly subsided, and it bowed and nodded respectfully.

"Let's go, fellow humans. Let's return and find more of our kind."

"Okay, let's go."

The current situation didn’t allow for refusal. Aine swallowed her saliva and nodded slightly. The Deep Diver also turned and walked forward.

"boom!"

Just as Aiyin was considering whether to take the opportunity to attack it, a sharp gunshot suddenly rang out. A bloody hole was shot in the head of the Deep Diver. It roared and quickly looked at the attacker in front of it, but the angry expression soon turned into confusion.

"Same kind? Why attack?"

"I'm not one of you ugly bastards,"

Aya shook her head slightly, raised her rifle and aimed it at the Deep Diver. Without hesitation, she pulled the trigger and blew out one of its eyes.

"Ah! Traitor!"

The damage dealt to the Deep One completely eliminated its worries. It roared and quickly pounced on Aya, who remained calm and continued to pull the trigger.

"Bang bang bang,"

Full-power bullets hit the Deep Diver one after another, but they only tore its hard scales. Blood splattered as it suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit Aya's head fiercely.

The black-haired girl retreated as quickly as possible, her dull dark green pupils fixed on the fangs in front of her, and she raised the muzzle of her gun and pointed it at its big mouth.

"Taste the bullet."

"boom!"

Even though the scales were hard, the throat was still fragile. The Deep Diver's throat was pierced by a bullet, and blood was gushing out. At the same time, Aya kicked it hard with a powerful whip kick. The terrifying strength far exceeded that of a normal woman, and kicked its body into the air, and it hit the wall heavily, making a deep dent.

"Ahem..."

After this injury, the Deep Diver's entire body was completely torn apart. It struggled to get up, but its dying body was completely unable to do so.

"Why……"

The pain made it tremble uncontrollably, and some of the human residue that had not been completely devoured by the rough transformation began to revive. After a moment, a look of confusion and fear appeared on the face of the Deep Diver.

"Wait…what's going on? Who are you?"

"Umino-kun?"

Aine couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the change, but Aya still had an indifferent expression. She raised the gun and was about to pull the trigger, but the next moment Aine's pleading made her pause.

"Wait! Don't shoot! Aya, she was originally a normal human being. Now she has regained consciousness. Don't kill her!"

"This will only be temporary, Aine."

Aya shook her head slightly.

"Although I've never seen such a situation, the Deep Ones are undoubtedly monsters. It's impossible to expect them to maintain their humanity. We must be ruthless..."

"Help! Help me! Aine!"

The Deep One's panicked wail interrupted her words, fear forcing it to crawl. Even though its body was breaking apart, it still desperately reached out to Aine, its ugly face showing the pain that belonged to Umino Natsuki.

"...I will help you,"

Aine couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment, but after seeing its genuine expression, she made up her mind and quickly ran forward to hold its arm.

"Thank you, Aine... But what exactly is going on? Who is that woman? Where are Wenhua and the others?"

"Umino Natsuki" managed to stand up with her help, and nodded with sincere gratitude, but the question it asked next made Aine at a loss for how to answer.

"they……"

What should she say? Should she tell Umino, who had just regained consciousness, that she had eaten her friend?

"They were eaten by you,"

At this moment, Aya's calm voice suddenly rang out. Aine was startled for a moment and looked at her anxiously, but the black-haired girl just shook her head at her, then looked at the Deep Diver who was still standing there because he couldn't understand.

"You remember, right? You turned into a monster, and then you just attacked them. They never understood what was going on until they died."

"What…what are you talking about?"

"Umino Natsuki" opened her eyes wide, and Aine tried to change the subject in a panic, but Aya handed her a hand mirror.

"Look at how you look now. I think you'll remember."

"I……"

Xia Xi trembled, and looked at the sharp claws that he had subconsciously ignored. His face twisted as he took the hand mirror.

The moment it saw the fishman's head, bloody memories flashed through its mind. Its sharp claws suddenly let go of the hand mirror, and the lens fell to the ground and shattered. At the same time, the Deep One fell to his knees and wailed in pain.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The horrified expressions of her friends seemed to be still before her eyes, and she had actually bitten their heads and devoured their flesh and blood... Why?! This couldn't be real!

"You're lying to me! This is impossible! Aa ...

It looked up at Aya frantically, and the remnants of its humanity were quickly devoured in the pain. With only a crazy roar left, it pounced on Aya.

"boom!"

The girl, anticipating this, pulled the trigger directly. The bullet pierced the Deep Diver’s head, bringing out its foul brain matter. The monster completely lost its life and fell heavily to the ground, its frozen, crazy eyes staring straight at Aine.

"How...how could this happen..."

The sudden change made Aine tremble. She looked at the deformed corpse and closed her eyes in panic, trying to escape into the darkness that blocked her vision.

It was not until this moment that she truly realized,

How ugly is the bloodline that I carry, and how terrible my future is.

She would definitely turn into this kind of monster one day, and her consciousness would be completely devoured. Moreover, she might even eat Tomorin and the others...

When she thought of this possibility, cold despair permeated Aine's whole body. She froze and fell straight to the side, but in the end, she did not fall, but fell into a warm embrace.

"Don't be sad, Aine. We always have to face our own destiny."

She patted her shoulder, gently but forcefully asking Aine to stand firm. The latter, who had been crying silently, opened her eyes.

"Aya..."

"Stay calm. I know you're upset, but now's not the time to cry."

Aya shook her head, and her calm tone slightly dispelled Aine's panic.

"I'm sorry...what should we do now?"

"First of all, we have to leave as soon as possible. Although this deep diver is very strange, we don't have much time to investigate."

Aya sighed softly.

"According to my investigation, there is a secret organization called the Committee in Japan. It is very powerful and practices the principle of silencing everyone. We cannot be discovered by them, otherwise..."

Then she suddenly frowned, turned around and fired directly in front of her. Hachiman Kailing, who had just leaned out her body, instantly felt a burning pain. She looked down and saw that the bullet had grazed her arm and left a bloody mark.

"That's impressive,"

She shook her head slightly and wanted to fight back directly, but when she saw a familiar pink-haired girl, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Chihaya Aine? Why are you here?"

Chapter 72 Descendants of Dagon

"You know her?"

Aya, who was about to fire continuously, stopped after hearing her words. She frowned slightly and turned to look at the bewildered Aine. After confirming that she was also surprised by her name being called, she continued to ask questions cautiously.

"She doesn't know you, which means you've been keeping an eye on her? Why?"

"Before asking others questions, shouldn't you explain yourself first?"

Hailing gripped the gun tightly, temporarily suppressing her confusion and staring at Aya.

"Who are you? Why are you here? What happened here? Is it related to you?"

"If you want me to answer, you have to tell me why you know Aine first."

Aya looked at her expressionlessly.

"Otherwise you won't know anything, understand?"

"... Keeping an eye on her situation is a task assigned by higher-ups. I don't know the reason."

After thinking for a moment, Hailing carefully made up an excuse, and Aya also realized something and frowned.
