mygo, but Cthulhu

Chapter 8: Confession to Half Body

In the practice room, Toyokawa Shoko frowned and glanced at the clock on the wall. After thinking for a moment, she took out her cell phone and prepared to dial a number.

"I'm sorry I'm late,"

But the next moment, the door was opened by Chu Hua in a hurry. Seeing this, Xiangzi put down his phone and said lightly,

"Chuhua, you should be more punctual. There are only three minutes left until the scheduled time. In the past, you would have been here earlier."

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiang,"

Chu Hua didn't intend to argue at all, he nodded and smiled apologetically.

"I will pay more attention next time."

"Boss, you don't have to be so strict. Hatsuko isn't late, is she?"

Miao Meng shrugged at this time, and Toyokawa Xiangzi looked at her expressionlessly.

"Since you say that, Yutenji, I'm sure you're feeling relaxed and comfortable with the current drum music. It just so happens that I think you could actually give it a better performance..."

"No, I really can't stand any more drum music editing. Please, boss, let me go."

Miao Meng admitted defeat at the speed of light, and at this time Hachiman Hailing also looked at Chuhua thoughtfully,

"But it's rare that you're the last one to arrive in Triangle. Did something delay you?"

"I just bought some daily necessities, please don't worry about it."

Chuhua smiled and shook his head, while Xiangzi didn't intend to ask any more questions and walked quickly to his seat.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start practicing. Every minute and every second is precious."

At this moment, Ruo Yemu suddenly looked up at Xiangzi. She pursed her lips slightly as if she wanted to say something, but the practice had already begun while she was hesitating, so she could only swallow her words and concentrate on playing her part.

The whole practice went smoothly. When it was over, Toyokawa Shoko nodded slightly to the others.

"That's all for today,"

"Oh, Xiangzi, that celebration banquet we talked about last time..."

"I told you, do as you please. I'm not interested in this kind of thing."

"Hey, Boss, we can't celebrate without you..."

"I think I've made my point clear, Ms. Yutenji. Or do you think the drum music really needs improvement?"

"I'm sorry, please pretend I never said that."

Miao Meng immediately lowered her head and admitted defeat, but Xiangzi was not interested in saying anything to her and continued to pack up his things.

When she looked up again, she saw Chu Hua still in the room and had not left. She walked up to Xiangzi with a complicated expression and spoke cautiously,

"Xiaoxiang, you seem a little tired recently. Did something happen?"

"I'm fine, Chuhua."

Toyokawa Shoko calmly shook her head.

"Don't worry about me. I know my situation."

"Is that so... Then I feel relieved."

Chu Hua was slightly startled, then forced a smile.

"Sorry, Xiaoxiang, maybe I'm overthinking it, but you must also make sure to rest."

"I see,"

Following her indifferent response, Chu Hua had no way to ask anything else. He could only nod silently and turn away.

Shoko Toyokawa stared at her back and sighed with a complicated expression. After Chuhua left for a while, she picked up her waist bag and prepared to leave, but out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a familiar figure who had been silent.

"Mu, you're not going to leave yet?"

"Xiang, what happened to you recently?"

Ruoye Mu looked up and met her gaze, and the words he uttered made Xiangzi purse her lips. She sighed in her heart, not surprised by this result.

"You really found out... I really couldn't hide it from you."

"Xiang was trying his best to hide it, but his expression was ugly, angry and tired."

Ruoye Mu looked at her seriously,

"Xiang, are you in any trouble?"

"...This is not something you can help with,"

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a moment before responding softly. Wakaba Mu subconsciously wanted to say something, but in the end he could only bite his lips slightly and lowered his head silently.

Seeing her expression, Xiangzi couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest and sighed helplessly.

"Mu, you are so cunning,"

"Xiang..."

Ruoye Mu looked up at her with a bit of pleading, but Xiangzi turned his head away and didn't meet her eyes.

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you... I'm pregnant."

"?!"

Wakaba Mu opened her eyes wide, her delicate face covered with confusion and incomprehension. She stared at Toyokawa Shoko in a daze, and after a moment she spoke softly incomprehensibly,

"Xiang, what did you say?"

"I'm pregnant. I don't know how this happened, but the test report says so."

After he said it, the original hesitation quickly disappeared. Xiangzi sighed again and calmly described his situation.

"Not only that, I received a remittance of 1 billion yen this morning, but when I tried to check, I found that the account number for the remittance had been cancelled. The other party obviously didn't want me to know his information."

"One billion yen... is it the Toyokawa family?"

"I don't think so. If it was a remittance from the Toyokawa family, they would definitely have taken more action, but I didn't receive anything except a message saying it was a thank you gift."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head.

"Besides, I'm not worth the money they'd send me. This 1 billion yen is probably related to my inexplicable pregnancy."

"So, what is Xiang going to do?"

Ruoye Mu asked softly while thinking, while Xiangzi frowned.

"To be honest, I don't have time to deal with these things right now. Besides, since that force was able to casually give me 1 billion yen, it must be something I can't easily find out."

"Mu, don't worry about this. If you rashly get involved, it will only bring you danger. I won't touch the 1 billion yen. I will return the money when that force contacts me."

"..."

If Ye Mu didn't speak for a while, she would lower her eyes slightly, trying her best to digest this shocking information, and after a while she spoke softly,

"Xiang... Your current body is not suitable for continuing the band's activities. You need to rest."

"Now is the critical period for avemujica, I can't stop."

Toyokawa Shoko had anticipated what she was going to say and answered softly with a firm tone.

"I know you're worried, but I have to persevere."

"But Xiang is always tired,"

Wakaba Mu pursed his lips,

"If this continues, Xiang's health will be damaged."

"I can handle my own affairs,"

Toyokawa Shoko was a little annoyed by her words. She shook her head expressionlessly, picked up her waist bag and walked out the door.

"Xiang,"

However, the low voice behind her still made her stop, and Toyokawa Shoko sighed and turned around.

"what happened?"

"Xiang, the person who hurt you is still in the dark. Your current residence is not safe."

Ruoye Mu spoke hesitantly,

"Live with me so this won't happen again."

"Forget it. That force is obviously very large. It doesn't matter where they live."

Xiangzi shook his head slightly.

"And how are you going to explain to your parents that I suddenly moved in? Don't worry about my situation, Mu, just focus on the band."

"……I see."

Wakaba Mu just nodded after a moment of silence, and Xiangzi sighed silently, turned around and left the room.

After Ruoye Muye left, the room fell into silence. In a dark corner, Chu Hua silently stared at the recording on the phone screen with a complicated and gloomy expression.

The reason she was late today was because she had purchased a lot of props, and when she noticed that Xiangzi and Xiaomu seemed to be staying to talk, she quietly placed a micro-eavesdropper in a corner of the room.

"...Xiaoxiang, why are you willing to tell Xiaomu but not me?"

She was silent for a moment and then murmured to herself unwillingly. Thinking of what she had seen when she followed Xiaoxiang today, the surging emotions in her heart made her hold the phone tightly.

She had guessed Xiangzi was in trouble, but she hadn't expected it to be so serious... Xiaoxiang was actually living in such a remote place now. Had he moved out from Fengchuan's house? Perhaps it was because he lived in such a poorly-maintained place that he was harmed.

Not only that, she had to endure the exhaustion of working in customer service, and a disgusting man kept pestering her...

Chu Hua's anger grew as she thought about it. She clenched her teeth, her purple pupils filled with cold anger.

Could it be that guy who made Xiaoxiang... No, Xiaoxiang is not the kind of person who would swallow her anger for a job. Since she did not choose to call the police, it means that the perpetrator must be someone else.

Chu Hua closed his eyes for a moment, and his chaotic emotions turned into an uncontrollable violent impulse.

But he actually dared to harass Xiaoxiang. This alone is unforgivable. I must make him pay the price.

Chapter 9 Take action

When Chu Hua finally regained consciousness, she found herself in a dark alley. The man with a sack over his head was too weak to scream, his body twitching, and his arms twisted like a pretzel.

It’s almost time. If he continues like this, he will die, and then he will only cause trouble for Xiaoxiang.

A voice in her heart gently reminded her, and Chu Hua took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. She raised her hand to touch the mouse mask on her face, and looked around again to confirm that there was no surveillance here.

He was put in a sack just as he turned the corner, so he probably didn't notice his own body shape.

Chu Hua made a calm judgment, looked down at the man's arms, which were clearly shattered, and leaned over to grope for his wallet, taking out all the money inside. Of course, she wore gloves the whole time.

She didn't care about such a small amount of cash, but taking the money would make the police think it was a simple robbery, making it less likely that she would associate it with deliberate revenge.

Ignoring the man still wailing on the ground, Chu Hua turned around and quickly left. She recalled the directions without surveillance cameras in her mind, walked into the dark alleys, and quickly came to the drainage ditch.

She threw a crowbar she had picked up into the water, watched it being swept away by the rushing current, and then calmly returned home via the safe route.

Only after the door was closed did Chu Hua finally breathe a sigh of relief. She gently took off the mask, suppressed the trembling of her hands, and put it aside with the robe she had taken off.

She was sure that the man would have to stay in the hospital for at least half a year. Even if he could finally recover, he would definitely not be able to harass Xiaoxiang again.

After realizing that he had really helped Xiaoxiang, Chuhua felt a strong sense of happiness. He couldn't help but curl his lips and chuckled with great satisfaction.

"I did it. I successfully made this guy pay the price. Xiaoxiang, you won't be harassed by him anymore."

Chu Hua breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the mask and robe and stuffed them under his bed.

Unlike what she had imagined before taking action, she did not feel any tension or hesitation throughout the whole process. She did not hesitate even a little to break the law, and the experience of breaking someone else's bones for the first time only brought her unexpected joy.

She was even recalling that exhilarating feeling, the man's convulsions and screams, the feeling of his flesh being crushed bit by bit, and more...

Wait, am I being too addicted?

This thought suddenly flashed through Chu Hua's mind, causing her movements to freeze. She shook her head vigorously, trying to suppress the feeling of satisfaction.

No, I am not doing this simply to commit violence. I am punishing those who dare to harass Xiaoxiang, just for this reason.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, recalling different scenes of Xiaoxiang, trying to calm herself down.

"Chuhua, are you okay?"

The sudden sound of a familiar voice made her open her eyes suddenly. She almost subconsciously wanted to attack, but after seeing Mana's puzzled face, she quickly suppressed her movements and tried her best to force a smile.

"I'm fine, just a little tired... By the way, when did you come back, Mana? I didn't even hear a sound."
