"Aine was also at Xia Xi's house at the time, besides Satoshi

, She is the only one who saw what happened, and we really need to find her to ask some questions... Can you tell me where she is now?"

"I'm sorry, I really don't know."

Su Shi secretly groaned in her heart, trying hard to force a smile and shook her head, and also tried to raise her voice in the hope of making herself look more credible...but the expressions of her predecessors showed that her efforts were in vain.

“Then why are you so sure that Aine is not dead?”

At this time, Mei Zhulan also spoke calmly and softly,

"Your anxiety and worry weren't fake, but when you heard Satomi say she hadn't seen it herself, you felt relieved... This means you know someone else or a force that knows about this, and you learned about Aine from them, right?"

"...Mizuki-senpai, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

Su Shi was silent for a long time before shaking his head, and Li Xi pursed his lips with a complicated expression, but finally chose to speak for Su Shi in front of Aftergrow, whom he loved.

"Senior, maybe we've concealed something, but that's for a reason. We have no ill intentions. Please trust us, okay?"

"Well, I believe you."

Before anyone else could speak, Toyama Kasumi answered quietly and seriously, causing Arisaki to open his eyes wide.

"Wait a minute, Kasumi. I don't think they're bad people, but isn't it a bit too hasty to say that? We're investigating a completely unknown danger right now. Shouldn't we be more cautious?"

"Well, what you said makes sense, Arisaki... But I think everyone in mygo can be trusted, including Aine who's not here, and these four as well."

Kasumi nodded with a smile.

"Although my reasons might not be sufficient in this situation...but when I watched their performance before, I also felt the sparkling and accelerated heartbeat. I think they are the same as us, but they have something they can't reveal for the time being."

"Since you say so, Kasumi, I understand."

Arisaki thought about it and nodded, and Sushi couldn't help but relax a little when she saw this.

"Thank you, Kasumi-senpai. Then we'll..."

"drop,"

Before she could finish her words, everyone present rang with a message on their cell phones. They realized what was going on and quickly took out their phones, only to see the same message.

"If you want to continue exploring, let's go to Asukayama Park. It's already three o'clock."

"Asukayama Park?"

Mizukami was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at mygo and found that everyone's faces, including Su Shi's, were filled with surprise as to why this place was mentioned, rather than pure confusion.

"Sure enough... the things you're hiding are related to this, right?"

She frowned, and Su Shi's body stiffened. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile.

"Mizuki-senpai, what are you talking about?"

"Stop pretending. Your expressions have already betrayed you. Asukayama Park must be hiding some secrets right now? And that secret is the one you're trying to cover up."

Mei Zhulan's voice gradually turned cold.

"To be honest, I want to believe you, and I want to agree with what Kasumi said, but you've been hiding so much, haven't you? When all of us were sad, angry, and confused, you refused to say anything and just kept repeating boring lies."

"Is this funny to you? Because of my ignorant suggestion, Eri and the others died, and now Natsuki and the others are dead too... We all took risks for these lives. Even if you don't intend to help us, can you please not hide it and try to act believable?"

"No, we really..."

Su Shi hurriedly shook his head in panic, and Mei Zhulan thought of the depression and pain she had been experiencing, and she couldn't help but raise her voice angrily.

"Stop pretending! You can't even be honest. You don't deserve to be in a band. You selfish guys deserve to not be able to find your teammates..."

"Lan! Stop talking..."

"enough!"

Xiangcheng anxiously wanted to stop her, but Deng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly roared, causing the scene to fall into silence.

"...We can't tell you some things because they concern our friends. We are selfish people because we can't put the lives of strangers above the lives of our companions. That's just who we are."

Deng clenched her teeth. Even though her body was shaking a little due to her instinctive shrinking, her genuine anger still allowed her to look directly at Mei Zhulan bravely.

"But you can curse us, but please don't belittle our band! We are selfish guys, but MyGO is our joint effort... You can't insult it, I won't allow you to say that."

"……Oh,"

After a moment's silence, Mei Zhulan sneered.

"Takamatsu Deng, even if your concealment and favoritism will cause more innocent people to die, you don't care? Eri and the others are also your classmates. Do you want to see more people killed like them?"

"I don't want that to happen. Besides, I can assure you that what we are hiding has nothing to do with what you are investigating."

Deng looked at her calmly, and the determination in her voice surprised even herself.

"Besides that, all I can say is I'm sorry."

"Okay, now that you've said that, we certainly won't cooperate with a band that hides information."

Mizukari nodded decisively, but Tomoe hesitated and glanced at the light. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke carefully.

"Lan, um, actually, I think their reasons are understandable... Do we really have to make things so unpleasant with them?"

"I understand why they did it, but the fact is that their actions made it impossible for us to trust them."

Mei Zhulan sighed.

"If they don't tell us, how can we be sure what they're hiding? Eri and the others died because they knew nothing. I don't want anything to happen to any of you."

"Let's go find the police. Although these salary thieves are definitely connected to some unknown organization, as long as our attitude is strong enough, they will still have to send people over. This will just allow us to obtain more intelligence."

She turned around, calmly shook her head at Kasumi who was anxiously wanting to say something, then turned around and walked into the police station with the other four people.

"I'm sorry, Deng, Lan didn't mean to say that. She was just a little too impatient..."

Xiang Cheng looked at Ran's back but didn't know how to persuade her. In frustration, she turned to Deng and apologized sincerely, but Deng just shook his head.

"Kasumi-senpai, you don't have to apologize. Actually, what Mitake-senpai said is right. We really can't be trusted."

"Goodbye, Senior. It seems that the police station has no news about Xiao Ai. We have to go look for her somewhere else."

She turned and left silently. Li Xi gritted his teeth and glanced at Mizukane's back. He threw all the small accessories belonging to Aftergrow into the trash can and quickly followed Deng's footsteps. Su Shi also absentmindedly rubbed his nails and sighed. Le Nai, who didn't care much the whole time, praised Deng for being a brave woman and then gave Matcha

He put the candy in his mouth and followed suit just as nimbly.

"..."

Kasumi looked blankly at Aftergrow who walked into the police station, and looked helplessly at Mygo who was walking further and further away. For a moment, she felt an indescribable sadness that made her almost breathless.

"Why... We're not all bad people, and we can all get along just by trusting each other. Why?"

She couldn't help but smile bitterly, and Yusaki sighed and comforted her softly.

"Don't be sad, Kasumi. There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we're all facing the danger of losing our lives. When it comes to life, we have to pay attention to things that we didn't care about in the past."

"And at the end of the day, we all care about our players more than anyone else, and the situation they're in now is going to force them to be on their toes, and that certainly doesn't make it that easy to trust each other."

"...I understand. Thank you, Arisaki."

After a long silence, Toyama Kasumi sighed tiredly.

"I thought it was too simple. The difficulties that stand in front of us now are indeed not easily overcome."

"We're just ordinary girls in a band... What should we do to put everything back to normal?"

Chapter 79 Nightmare and Enhancement

Aine felt as if she was gradually being submerged by the sea water. She didn't know when she had fallen into the sea, and was being pulled down by some invisible force, feeling the suffocation getting worse and worse.

Death seemed to be imminent, but she did not feel any fear, as if this most primitive and instinctive reaction was also swallowed up.

But the next moment, she suddenly saw four familiar figures diving into the sea without hesitation. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the light that was anxiously reaching out to her. The fear that she thought had been buried in the sea came back again.

No! Tomorin! Don't come near me, I'm dangerous, I'm a monster...

However, her cries, which she was unable to utter, were of course not heard by them. Deng held her hand tightly, and the familiar touch made Aine feel dazed for a moment, and then she found that the sea water around her quickly disappeared.

She blinked blankly, then felt something in her mouth. She spat it out subconsciously, and what fell to the ground was a familiar, broken amber eyeball.

"Tomorin? No, no, that's impossible..."

Aiyin stared at the eyeball in disbelief. She stepped back in panic but tripped over something and fell to the ground. Warm liquid splashed on her face as if it was squeezed out.

"This is……"

She touched her face, only to see a scarlet stain on her hands. Turning to see what had tripped her, fear quickly washed over her, then quickly gave way to despair, leaving her feeling a chilling pain.

Deng, Li Xi, Su Shi and Lenai, the bodies of the four of them fell side by side on the ground, all of them were badly broken, and the last expressions frozen on their faces were all of disbelief and horror.

Aine trembled as she slowly crawled towards them, tears dripping with blood as they fell to the ground. She hugged their bodies tightly, but the next moment she felt a strong appetite.

"No, this is not true, this is not true..."

Her body suddenly froze. After a while, she slowly turned her head to look at the mirror beside her. What she saw in the end was not her own familiar face, but a fish-man monster holding the broken bodies of the girls. There was no emotion on its ugly face, only the greed of a beast. It bit and swallowed the flesh and blood of her friends in big mouthfuls, swallowing them into its stomach.

"No, it's not me. I'm not a monster. I can't do this..."

Aiyin closed her eyes tightly, trying desperately to deny it all, but the clear biting sound still rang in her ears, igniting all her pain into madness in an instant.

"Die!!!"

She suddenly opened her eyes and roared, and in collapse and pain, she punched hard desperately, and the next moment the monster's head was smashed into pieces by her fist, and the burst of concrete fragments flew past her head and sank deep into the ceiling.

...concrete?

A moment later, Aine suddenly realized something was wrong. She looked around and slowly remembered that she had not returned home before, but had lost consciousness unknowingly in the midst of crying and self-blame... So, was she having a nightmare?

After discovering that the extremely horrifying scene was not real, Aine couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She turned her head and looked in the mirror, confirming that she was still the same Chihaya Aine, although the suppressed expression on her face was completely different from the past.

But she was not in the mood to care about her expression now. Looking at the very obvious hole on the cement floor, she couldn't help but look at her right hand in confusion, which was still white and intact, without even a single wound.

With this incredible destructive power, have I... completely turned into a monster?

"despair,"

Just as she couldn't help but think so, the door suddenly opened. Aya was not too surprised to see her wake up. She glanced at the hole on the ground and shrugged.

"Don't worry, I anticipated you might cause some damage, so I prepared some repair materials."

"Aiya...what's wrong with me? I can actually do this. Could it be that my transformation speed has been accelerated for some reason?"

"Don't worry, the transformation hasn't started early. It's because your special bloodline has awakened, so it will naturally transform your body. Dagon is respected by the Deep Ones largely because of his power. We inherited his filthy blood, and of course, we will inherit some of his power as well."

Aya shook her head slightly, picked up a piece of concrete shard, and crushed it easily in front of Aine like an egg, while her palm remained unscathed.

"It's difficult for ordinary cold weapons to hurt us now. Our skin has formed an elastic defense. It remains soft at ordinary times, but it will instinctively increase its hardness when needed. The defensive ability is quite good."

“…It’s quite surprising.”

Aiyin nodded silently after a moment of silence, and Aya noticed her strangeness and spoke softly after thinking for a moment.

"You had a nightmare. What exactly did you see? Can you tell me if you want?"

"I... I dreamed that I turned into a monster and ate my friends."

Aiyin trembled, gritting her teeth and trying to squeeze out a sound, while Aya also sighed.

"It's normal for you to feel this fear. After all, you just witnessed something like that... Don't worry, Aine. You still have some time before your transformation. Don't worry about it now."

"But this future is going to happen to me one day, and if I don't do something, it will happen."

Aiyin shook her head bitterly, and Aya just sighed, then took out a strange octopus head statue from her pocket.

The moment she saw it, Aine instinctively wanted to reach out, but it wasn't until her hand was grabbed by Aya that she snapped back to her senses and felt a chill on her back.

"What is this? Why did I seem to lose consciousness just now?"

"This seems to be a statue of the Old Ones, worshipped by the Deep Ones. I went out to explore the surrounding area today and happened to encounter a Deep One. After killing it, I found this on its corpse."

Aya explained softly, looking at Aine seriously.

"Ain, this is a dangerous sign. It means that fish-headed bastard has begun to notice us. Although I

Our physical qualities have been greatly enhanced, but some cunning guys can flexibly use spells, and those things can still hurt us."

"In order to eliminate the threat, we need to take the initiative. Can you come with me to the park? There may be some clues there."

"Well... of course I'm willing. After all, even if I stay here, I can't help but think about that nightmare."

Aine nodded, looked at her hands again, sighed, and replied in a deep voice,

"Let's go find those things."
