mygo, but Cthulhu

Ⅷ

Before they could finish their words, Wakaba Ryohei suddenly walked in. The maids quickly shut up and returned to their seats, while Mu looked up at him calmly.

"Well, I'm back, father."

"Okay then, now follow me to the basement. I have something to tell you."

Mu lowered her head, feeling nothing for what was about to happen. She followed the man silently into the basement. As the dim light came on, he raised his hand to signal for the specially made soundproof steel door.

"Close the door."

"Snapped!"

When Ruoye Mu pushed the door shut with great effort and turned to look at him, she was slapped hard on the face. Before she fell, the collar of the man with a face twisted with anger was grabbed tightly, and his eyes full of anger stared at her.

"Mu, you're really amazing. You actually dared to hide so many things from me. I asked you to monitor Toyokawa Shoko, and you didn't tell me a single thing, right? Huh?!"

Chapter 86 If Ye Mu is worried

"..."

Facing the man's anger, Ruo Yemu said nothing. She just looked at him calmly, with a dead calmness in her pale golden pupils.

"Tsk,"

The man sighed in annoyance before suddenly increasing his strength and slamming her in the face again, sending her crashing to the ground.

The pain that she had long been accustomed to came again, but Ruoye Mu didn't care about it. She had started to accept this kind of thing since she was a child, and quickly got used to it after crying at the beginning... and her special physique also meant that her parents didn't need to worry about the violence being discovered.

"Now, take off your clothes. This dress is worth more than you."

A cold voice came from above, and Ruoye Mu just quietly and obediently unbuttoned her clothes. This was not the first time she had done this, and the sense of shame she should have had had been completely worn away by repeated abuse.

Soon, her clothes fell to the ground, and the naked Ruoye Mu silently put them aside. As soon as she turned around, she was hit by a whip full of sharp barbs.

"Tear,"

Half of her face was beaten to a bloody mess, her exploded eyeball was pulled out by the barbs, hanging precariously on the nerve cord, blood gushed out from her wound, but the intact half of Ruo Yemu's face was still calm, as if she could not feel any pain at all.

The next moment, her eyeball was pulled back into the eye socket by the wriggling nerves, the wound healed rapidly in an instant, and her face returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, more whips were swung at her. She stood there without dodging and let her body be whipped and covered with scars. However, no matter how serious the injury was, she could heal it at an extremely fast speed, and not even a trace would be left on her fair skin.

"Oh, it seems your physical condition is still the same."

Tired of swinging the whip, Wakaba Ryohei looked at her indifferently before picking up more tools nearby and walking towards her.

Pulling out her fingernails and toenails, cutting open her chest to dig out her heart, and grinding half of her body into a pulp... Ruoye Liangping repeated the actions that Mu had experienced countless times. She felt the pain that could make an ordinary person mentally collapse, but she was not moved at all and even felt a little bored.

Since she was a child, Ruo Yemu had a vague feeling that she was a puppet. All humans have some power, but she does not. She can only be manipulated at will by the masters she calls parents.

The first time she endured this, she did break down, but she soon realized that all her reactions were useless and would only make her more miserable... In this case, having no expression or emotion was best.

When she first came into contact with other children, she felt only bored, because their stupidity was beyond her imagination. Obviously, their brains were almost fully developed, but they still had all kinds of childish behaviors that she could not understand... Therefore, she hated interpersonal communication.

However, when she met Xiang for the first time, she gradually changed her mind.

"..."

Ruo Yemu silently looked at his arm which was pierced by the drill bit by bit, but what he saw before his eyes was not the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, but distant memories.

That day, her parents took her to the Toyokawa family. They deliberately asked her to make friends with the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, but Mu had no idea how to take the initiative to make friends at that time.

In the end, she just found a corner and sat quietly, closing her eyes and planning to take a nap. But not long after, she felt something rolling next to her. She opened her eyes and saw a cute doll.

Just like myself... no, much better than myself, at least it is well cared for.

This was her first thought, and then she heard a timid voice,

"Excuse me... could you please pass it to me?"

She turned her head and saw a little girl with blue hair. After thinking for a moment, she handed the doll to her and tried to force a smile awkwardly and weirdly.

"Back to you."

At that time, Wakaba Mutsu didn't know how to show a normal smile. The evidence was that the girl was so scared that she took several steps back. But just when Wakaba Mutsu silently put down his hand, she suddenly walked forward and took the doll nervously. After hesitating for a moment, she still made an invitation.

"Thank you... What's your name? Can we play together?"

"I'm Wakaba Mu."

Mu didn't remember what happened afterwards very clearly. She only remembered that the gray and white world that she originally thought was boring seemed to suddenly become a little different. A touch of blue appeared in her vision, making her want to hold it tightly involuntarily.

Is this what a friend is? She didn't quite understand, but she was sure that she wanted to be with Xiang... Then, she couldn't let Xiang know her situation, because Xiang was just the eldest daughter of the Fengchuan family. She couldn't be her own master, and she couldn't help herself. Mu also didn't want Xiang to be sad because of her.

…But even though she tried her best, she couldn't help Xiang.

Blood splattered on Mu's face, and she simply closed her eyes, letting the memories that were more painful than the pain overwhelm her.

When she first saw Xiang's mother, Mu was stunned by her outstanding beauty, but then she noticed the deep gloom in Toyokawa Anzi's eyes.

It was a clear hatred, hatred for oneself, hatred for

Looking at everything in life, why is Mu so familiar with this feeling? It is because she was like this for a while, but later she felt that it was meaningless.

Xiang enthusiastically introduced her to Toyokawa Anzi, and Mu greeted them politely, but she could tell that the woman in front of her was forcing herself to smile, and she had no interest in her at all... Instead, she seemed to hate Xiang?

When she realized this, Ruo Yemu felt herself tremble. At that moment, she suddenly found that the fear that she had died long ago was revived little by little. She knew that Xiang was not aware of this... but what if she found out?

Being hated by her own mother, Ruo Yemu didn't care about this kind of thing at first, but when she thought that this happened to Xiang, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

She didn't want Xiang to feel sad, but she knew that Xiang would be in pain if he knew about this...

So, when Xiang went to the toilet and Mu was alone with Toyokawa Anzi, she chose to tell the truth.

"Excuse me, why do you hate Xiang?"

“…You actually discovered it right away.”

The gorgeous face was surprised for a moment, and then Mu saw her expression suddenly become gloomy, as if she had completely abandoned all disguises.

"But why should I tell you?"

"Then at least tell me whether you will continue to pretend."

“…Yes, although I feel disgusted by this, I have reasons why I have to do it.”

When Toyokawa Anzi said this, she turned her head and looked at the other side. Mu knew that it was a room that the Toyokawa family paid special attention to, and it was obvious that her reason was related to this.

That was the end of their brief conversation. After that, Mu kept observing her, making sure that she would not suddenly reveal her true face to Xiang before she felt relieved. At the same time, she was also hesitating whether to tell Xiang about this matter.

In the end, the fear that Xiang would feel pain overwhelmed everything, and she said nothing. Even at the birthday party that day, even if Xiang wanted to go to that room to take the things out, she did not stop him... She had no good reason, and she was still hoping for a lucky break.

But then the news of Toyokawa Anko's suicide came, and the thing she feared most finally happened. When that woman got the root of her endurance of pain, she certainly had no need to continue living... Xiang was left alone in endless pain.

She was wrong. If she had been able to stop Xiang at that time, Xiang would not have fallen into depression for a whole year. If she had been able to discover Xiang's predicament earlier, she would not have been taken advantage of and become pregnant with Yuge's child.

Ruoye Mu sighed tiredly, silently listening to the sound of self-blame crushing her heart bit by bit.

Now that Xiang has discovered clues about her mother, she will sooner or later discover the truth. What should she do then? She really doesn't want to see Xiang suffer anymore, but she is powerless and can't do anything.

In a trance, Ruo Yemu heard his father's indifferent voice,

"Those two men died. Mr. Meizhu needs more temporary magic power to make up for the loss. The banquet is about to begin, so you will go there tomorrow. You are not allowed to eat anything today. Do you understand?"

"Okay, Father."

Wakaba Mu closed his eyes and responded to him softly.

Chapter 87 Pan's Bloodline

Shoko Toyokawa stared at the steaming food in a daze. Even though the food was exquisite, she had no appetite at all. All she could think about was the sentence she had just read in the book.

"Xiangzi? Xiangzi?"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Ruomai called her several times before Xiangzi came back to her senses. She looked at her blankly, while Ruomai sighed and pointed at the food in front of her.

"If you don't eat now, it's going to get cold. What are you thinking about? Or do you have no appetite?"

"I really don't have an appetite... I'm thinking about something."

"So what exactly happened? You were already half-hearted on the way back. When we asked you, you just said you needed confirmation."

Ruomai shrugged helplessly, while Xiangzi thought for a while, then took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call first."

She dialed the number, and soon the call was connected, and Tsuzuki Shifune's calm voice rang out.

"Xiangzi, you probably want to know where the mercenaries who attacked you came from? Wait a moment, Rinrinko and the others are leading the search. I believe they will find the middleman soon."

"Thank you very much, but I have something else I want to ask you this time... You mentioned before that my grandmother was in a band with you, and that she got pregnant out of wedlock after encountering some problems, right?"

“…Indeed.”

When it comes to this topic, Tsuzuki Poetry Ship's voice becomes more complicated.

"Why do you mention this suddenly?"

"Because I want to prove something... Can you tell me what happened to my grandmother? Why did she get pregnant before marriage?"

"I can't tell you the details, I can only say that it was a very unfortunate incident."

Tsuzuki Shisen sighed, and Toyokawa Shoko continued calmly.

"Did she meet the god Pan?"

"……How did you know?"

After a long silence, a hoarse voice came from the other side. Ruomai had already started to get scared at this time. She tried to wink at Xiangzi to signal her not to continue, but Xiangzi completely ignored her, pursed his lips and continued to speak.

"So, it was because she met the god Pan that she was bewitched by him and became pregnant with my mother. That's why my mother is so beautiful, right?"

"Yes, you are right, but I hope you won't delve into it any further, Xiangzi."

Tsuzuki Shifune responded softly, with a tiredness in his voice that surprised Xiangzi.

"This is roughly your life story, but it's better for you not to know the details. I sincerely think so."

"…I'm sorry, but I believe I still have the right to know about my family's past."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiangzi still refused in a deep voice, and Tsuzuki Shichuan sighed again.

"Well, I hope you can accept it then, kid, and I also hope you can stay strong."

The call was hung up, Xiangzi lowered his head and thought for a moment, and Ruomai also spoke tentatively at this time,

"Well, I don't quite understand this aspect. Is there anything special about Pan's bloodline? Like Aine, you will transform into another creature at a fixed time."

"That's not the case. At least the book only says that Pan's bloodline will make the owner extremely beautiful."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed.

"Now I understand why my mother is more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen... Is this related to why she did what she did?"

"I don't know your past, so I'm afraid I can't give you any useful advice. Anyway, Xiangzi, tell me what you need my help with."

"First, please help me retrieve the photos of my mother and my grandmother. However, their photos should be stored in the Toyokawa family's database. Can you do it?"

"It's simple. You don't need to hack into a photo to adjust it. You can just look for traces on the network."

Ruomai shrugged, then picked up his laptop and quickly operated it, and soon two photos appeared on the screen.

"Well, that's it... Wait, I know they are your mother and grandmother, but don't you look too much alike?"

Ruomai was halfway through his words when he couldn't help

She was stunned for a moment, and she kept turning her head to look at the screen and Xiangzi. The more she looked, the more incredible it seemed to her.

Saori Toyokawa is a very pretty girl, and Anko Toyokawa is like she walked out of a painting. Their resemblance to Shoko Toyokawa is extremely strange. Although the difference can be found if you look closely, if you are not particularly familiar with them, you can't tell the difference at first glance.

"I think it's because of Pan's bloodline,"

Toyokawa Shoko silently looked at the two relatives on the screen and sighed with a complicated feeling.

"Pan's descendants are extremely beautiful, and this beauty is probably optimized based on the mother's body. In other words, my mother and I both inherited my grandmother's appearance, the only difference is the type of beauty."

"...The Toyokawa family must know this. I'm going to ask Toyokawa Nobuo right now to see if my mother's suicide is related to this."

Chapter 88 Shiina Maki

"A lot of things happened today."

After finally returning home, Shiina Riki took out the key and prepared to open the door a little tiredly. She had seen too much today and her mind was a little confused for a while.

Aine's acting so exaggerated, and it seems like she'll transform into another creature in a year or two... How sad will Deng be then? What will Mygo do then?
