mygo, but Cthulhu

"Don't say anything. Chihaya Aine is absolutely right. Weak people can do nothing but cry bitterly and rage helplessly. And you are all weak people now. You can't participate in it."

Arisaki's tone was extremely firm. Kasumi could only nod after hesitating for a moment. She silently picked up Saaya, who was still sleeping due to the spell, and left with Tahui, who had a complicated expression. She looked back hesitantly several times, but Arisaki just waved his hand vigorously to signal her to leave quickly.

"Arisaki-senpai, why don't you leave now? I hate to say this, but you don't have the ability to pose a threat to us."

"is it?"

Yusaki smiled, and at the same time, everyone felt the ground begin to shake slowly. At first, they didn't pay attention to this not uncommon phenomenon, but soon the shaking became stronger and stronger, and alarms began to sound all around.

"Why did the earthquake suddenly happen... No, that's not right!"

While Aine was feeling confused, she suddenly noticed Arisaki's calm gaze falling on her feet. She suddenly remembered a mythical creature from the Book of the Dead and quickly dodged to the side as fast as she could.

"boom!"

A gigantic, grotesque worm suddenly emerged from where she had been standing, sending debris flying as its ferocious mouthparts bit towards Aine. The latter subconsciously raised her arm, but even the tough flesh was easily torn off by it, sending intense pain through her nerves in an instant.

"Drilling worm...you actually know this kind of spell?!"

"Are you surprised? That the one you thought was weak actually holds power?"

Arisaki sneered. Even though her head was aching slightly due to the consumption of magic, the feeling of actually possessing power still fascinated her... If she had this power at that time, would Rimi not have died?

"Don't do that, Arisaki

, the impact caused by this is too great..."

At this moment, Tsuzuki Shifune frowned slightly and condensed a crimson spell, but before the spell was about to be activated, she suddenly felt something that quickly made the defense in front of her. Then, a large number of flying talismans hit the crimson spell, burning with wisps of green smoke that divided the battlefield on Arisaki's side. Even though it looked fragile, ordinary people could not pass through it at all.

"When children fight, it's better for adults not to get involved too much, don't you think, Mrs. Tsuzuki?"

He Fang walked out slowly with a smile, and Du Zhushichuan's expression also became serious.

"You guys are here too? This isn't Shanghai. The police and government here won't help you."

"Well, I know you, Mrs. Tsuzuki, are powerful, but we're not here to seize territory. We're just here to help the younger generation of our family."

He Fang shrugged, and then the numerous abacus beads on his body suddenly floated up, surrounding everyone and rotating into the four directions of the Bagua.

"I finally found this great-granddaughter after all the hard work. Can you please give me some face and leave her alone?"

"Oh, that depends on your strength."

Tsuzuki Shichuan sneered, and the next moment countless crimson lights suddenly gathered, and the beads were instantly ejected. However, even after being heavily enchanted, they were still unable to resist the severe erosion of the crimson and were constantly being worn down and suppressed.

"Oh, you're still so powerful after all this time. It's a wonder you don't use any of your life-extending spells on yourself. You're still so strong and healthy."

He Fang sighed with emotion, then shook her head slightly.

"But if I dare to stop you for a while, then of course I have to rely on you... Aunt, please lend me a hand!"

"Come on,"

With a happy laugh, the crimson spell was suddenly stopped for a moment by the huge invisible force. The beads seized the opportunity to quickly break part of it, while Tsuzuki Shifune pursed her lips. She grabbed Le Na who wanted to go to the other side to help, ignored the latter's unhappy expression, pulled her behind her to protect her, and at the same time looked at the woman holding a fan not far away.

"My daughter, you always just like to watch the show. I didn't expect that you would personally participate in it this time."

"You have to move your body occasionally, otherwise it will be too boring."

The woman smiled and winked playfully at Tsuzuki Shifune, but the latter could see through her disguise completely and his expression became even colder.

"Well then, let's see if an old guy like me can keep you moving enough."

"boom!"

The next moment, the crimson brilliant light suddenly increased, and the night park was illuminated as if it were daytime. The beads were forcibly broken in an instant, and the invisible force was captured by the spell and crushed to pieces.

Just as Tsuzuki Shichuan was about to attack further, a house in the distance suddenly collapsed, and the entire roof fell directly on her. The spell tore it apart in an instant, and a huge figure also punched her heavily through the smoke and dust, and a vicious curse enveloped the old figure.

"Rogot Marsh, you are the thing that Miskatonic University created."

But the crimson light was still powerful even though it had to deal with Zhinu and He Fang at the same time. It quickly returned to tear the curse apart, leaving hideous wounds on the Deep Diver while firmly locking its fist, making it difficult for the latter to advance an inch no matter how hard it tried.

"...As expected of Miracle Crimson, even after all this time, she's still so amazing."

The terrifyingly tall Deep Diver was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, forcibly tore off his arm and quickly retreated. The remaining arm exploded instantly, and while Tsuzuki Shifune defended himself, he also saw that the broken limb had regenerated.

"The recovery ability is quite impressive,"

Tsuzuki Shifune commented calmly, and when she was about to continue her attack, she suddenly realized something and quickly turned to look to the other side. The light of the dreamland that ordinary people could not see was extremely clear in her eyes.

"You want to open the Dreamland? Why? Aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of the Ancient Gods?"

"They really don't need to worry about this, because I have already prepared the corresponding measures,"

A voice that was very familiar to Tsuzuki Shichuan suddenly rang out. She was stunned for a moment and quickly turned her head. Then, for the first time, her pupils contracted slightly.

"...Jie Yu, why are you here?"

"I thought you'd expect this, Poetry Ship,"

The woman smiled, looked at her old face, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Why don't you use magic to extend your life? That would be easy for you, right?"

"Because all spells are not powers that should exist. Spells that prolong life either consume others or have many hidden dangers... I thought you could understand."

"I understand. It's better to say that it's because I understand your temper too well that I've parted ways with you for so many years."

Kurata Yu sighed, then turned around and looked at the gradually expanding dreamland, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"But our disagreements will soon be unnecessary, Shichuan. I've prepared the ritual to borrow Abhoth's power, and I've also prepared the bargaining chips for the deal with Nodens. Soon, Suzi and the others will be back with us, and the Miracle Crimson Society will be reunited. We can all live happily in the Dreamland, away from this dangerous and boring real world."

"So it's you who's been controlling the Sons of the Unclean and causing such tragedies? You're planning to deal with both the Outer Gods and the Old Gods at the same time? Jie Yu, don't do this. You might end up dead."

Tsuzuki Shifune opened her eyes wide and raised her hand eagerly to stop her, but her daughter and the others attacked together tacitly, forcing her to give up intervening and prioritize defense.

"Don't worry, Shichuan, I'll be fine. If I'm really as reckless as you think, then why would these people cooperate with me?"

Jie Yu chuckled, and then his tone became a little emotional.

"Furthermore, this is the only way to bring Suzi and the others back. Various resurrection techniques are far from perfect, and time travel would provoke the Hounds of Tindalos. If we want to perfectly bring them back from death, we must call upon the great beings. Coincidentally, Nodens hates Nyarlathotep, and these recent coincidences are definitely Nyarlathotep's doing."

"I gave him clues, and he helped me. But when he took the initiative to open the Dreamland, the power of the Outer Gods was able to seep in. By the time he realized something was wrong, we had already separated a part of the Dreamland with the help of the Outer Gods and built a dream city that belonged only to us. What could he do to us then?"

"Jie Yu, do you know what you're doing? Involving both the Ancient Gods and the Outer Gods... If you're not careful, Japan, no, humanity, will be wiped out!"

Tsuzuki Shifune was shocked and couldn't help but question, but Yuzuki just smiled.

"So what? Shi Chuan, in your eyes, can the safety of mankind be compared to that of Su Zhi and the others? Compared to the beauty we had back then? What does the fate of others have to do with us? They are just annoying ants, tiny and ignorant, and their numbers are disgusting."

"Don't worry, my plan will succeed soon, and then you will understand me, because our reunion is worth any risk."

As she finished speaking, the light of the dreamland engulfed everything.

Chapter 131 The situation is reversed

While Tsuzuki Shifune was fighting with other forces, the battle on Aine's side was still going on. The burrowing worm roared and continued to advance. Under Arisaki's control, it pounced on Aine again and again like crazy.

Even though the latter tried his best to dodge, large pieces of flesh and blood were still torn off one after another.

"boom,"

The heavy explosion filled the eardrums, and the breathing became so rapid that it was difficult to maintain stability. The clear pain repeatedly tortured the nerves, and the chaotic and shaking vision was filled with the horrific bodies of burrowing worms.

The feeling of weakness brought by letting tomorin suck her life force continued. In a trance, Aine suddenly realized that it was too late for her to dodge, and the mouthparts that were about to swallow her were right in front of her.

"Ahhh!"

The sense of crisis spread throughout her body like an electric current. She growled softly and raised her hand as quickly as possible to grab the mouthparts that were about to bite her head to pieces. The sharp fangs pierced her palm, making her tremble uncontrollably, but her body was still pushed back by the huge force.

"Little Love!"

Deng's anxious and painful voice sounded, but the burrowing worm just shook its head vigorously and released a magical light. Arisaki calmly raised his hand to amplify it. Even the power of Star Color could not quickly break through the barrier.

"Roar!"

The burrowing worm's bite continued, and Aiyin could only grit her teeth and hold on. Her hands were constantly gnawed and healed repeatedly, and blood dripped into the burrowing worm's mouth, making it increase its strength more and more frantically.

"Damn it! Blood obviously has water in it, but it didn't work... Soyorin! Throw the kettle at it! Water is extremely poisonous to it!"

Aine complained softly and quickly shouted to Su Shi, who woke up in shock and quickly took out the water bottle. Seeing that Aine was about to collapse, she wanted to rush forward without hesitation, but just as she took a step, she heard a gunshot, and then the water bottle in her hand exploded, spilling all the precious water on the ground.

"I'm sorry, but now is a good opportunity to negotiate with you."

Ushigome Yuri spoke softly, pointing the gun at Suyo while locking her eyes on Riki.

"Shiina Ritsuki, you can see now that the lives of your teammates are in our hands. We can temporarily not kill Takamatsu Deng, but the price is that you must hand over your sister."

"I advise you to make the right decision. If Chihaya Aine doesn't have support, she will surely die. If you refuse, I will shoot her immediately, and Nagasaki Suyo will be shot through the heart. Even if they die, do you still want to protect your sister?"

"No...don't do that..."

Li Xi began to tremble. She had never expected that she would face such a cruel choice... Panic quickly engulfed her like a tsunami. She subconsciously looked around for someone who could provide help, but even though Tsuzuki Shichuan was tightly entangled, she still held on to Le Na's shoulders tightly, and no matter how the latter struggled, she could not come to help.

...What should she do? What should she do?

The painful decision made Shiina Ritsuki fall into confusion. She looked at her teammates. Aine was almost unable to hold on. Her broken hands were shaking. The lamp wailed and kept hitting the spell. Although there were obvious cracks on it, Aine obviously could not hold on until then... She met Su Shi's pleading eyes filled with pain. She looked at Shiina Ritsuki, her eyes begging her to save Aine quickly.

Do not……

Li Xi looked at her sister tremblingly, but Maki just shook her head. She patted Li Xi's shoulder gently, turned around and prepared to walk towards Ushigome Yuri.

"Kill me, don't ever..."

"Snapped,"

"Roar!"

A slight sound was heard, but what followed was the extremely painful roar of the burrowing worm. Li Xi subconsciously turned his head and saw deep corrosion dents on its body, with fragments of the water ball next to it... Who provided help?

"You two, I don't think it's good to threaten others,"

Shoko Toyokawa walked out of the alley quickly and spoke calmly, and at the same time quickly threw a water ball at the burrowing worm. Ushigome Yuri hurriedly tried to raise her gun to intercept, but the next moment she turned the gun, Maki rushed in front of her in an instant, snatched the gun and knocked her to the ground with a heavy punch.

Water balls hit the burrowing worm one after another, and severe corrosion continued to spread. It wailed and forcibly broke free from Arisaki's control, quickly burrowing into the ground and quickly fled the battlefield. Su Shi hurriedly caught Aine who was about to fall, and Arisaki also knelt on the ground in pain due to the side effects of the failed spell.

"Ms. Ichigaya, this is our advantage now."

Toyokawa Shoko walked up to her, calmly looked down at her eyes full of resentment, then took out her phone and showed her the photo of Kasumi and the others walking silently on the way home.

"Ruomai is following your team members with a gun right now. As soon as I send a message, she will take action immediately. Are you willing to let them die too?"

"No... don't kill them... please..."

Hearing her words, Arisaki's originally hateful expression instantly turned into panic and fear. She trembled and wanted to hug Toyokawa Shoko's calf and beg, but the latter, who still did not let down her guard, took a step back at this time, causing her to fall to the ground in a mess due to exhaustion.

"Please... don't do this... If you want any revenge, you can come to me... Don't touch them..."

Ichigaya Yusaki prostrated herself in front of Toyokawa Shoko, wailing in pain and weakness. She tried her best to look up at Shoko with tears on her face, and the latter raised his hand and patted her head.

"Don't worry, Ms. Ichigaya. As long as you can calm down, I certainly won't do this. From the beginning to the end, we just want to protect the people around us."

"Hahaha... you were just one step away from victory. But it's a little too early for you to act like a winner now, Toyokawa Shoko."

When Xiangzi was about to say something else, Ushigome Yuri, who was firmly suppressed by Maki on the other side, suddenly laughed. Maki frowned slightly and immediately dislocated her hands. Although Yuri trembled in pain, the smile on her face still did not disappear, and she stared straight at Toyokawa Xiangzi.

"I guess you've always wanted to know how this baby came about. You also probably want to know the secret your father was willing to hide even at the cost of his own life. Have you ever thought about why he wouldn't even tell you about your own half?"

"Xiang, don't listen to her..."

Mu quickly spoke softly, but Xiangzi raised his hand to signal her not to speak, and slowly walked in front of Ushigome Yuri, staring coldly into her eyes.

"It seems that you know what I have been investigating? Are you willing to tell me?"

"Haha...of course."

Ushigome Yuri smiled and nodded, then raised her finger and pointed at Wakaba Mutsu.

"But she definitely doesn't want you to know. To make our conversation more convenient, how about asking her to go away first?"

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then you'll need to torture me to try to get information. I don't think you'll be satisfied with the efficiency of this method."

"...Mu, please go away first."

After a moment of silence, Xiangzi spoke softly to Mutsu, who hesitated and wanted to say something, but in the end just nodded silently. Then Xiangzi looked at Ushigome Yuri.

"Can we talk now?"

"First, let everyone except Ruoye Mu come over. I want them to know about you too."

"This is your last request,"

Xiangzi gave a cold warning and then waved to the others. Then, except for Ruomai who was waiting for the signal on the other side and Ruoye Mu who was a little further away, everyone came over.

“Now tell me, who performed this ritual on me?
