mygo, but Cthulhu

"Don't come over here! Or they'll attack you!"

Mashiro and the others opened their eyes wide when they saw this scene and hurried over, but Nanafuchi shouted first, and the extremely serious expression on his face forced them to stop.

"Seven Deeps..."

"Don't worry, this is a necessary ritual requirement. It's just a little blood, it's not fatal."

Qi Shen calmly shook his head at them, then looked at the snakes that were agitated by her blood, took a step closer, and spoke softly in the ancient language,

"My fellow countrymen, the descendants of the betrayers, beg Father God for forgiveness. I am fully aware of the original sin in my blood, yet I am filled with remorse. I repent day and night for the sins of my ancestors, and I pray for your help with my blood."

"Please grant me forgiveness. I will continue to pray earnestly to God the Father until the day He forgives us."

"hiss!"

As she finished speaking, the snakes hissed in unison, then swarmed over her and devoured her blood instantly. The wound on Nanami's wrist healed instantly. At the same time, Tsukushi and the others saw snake-like scales appear on her face, and her pupils turned dark green.

"Qi Shen...your face..."

"Ah, I'll explain this later. You just stay here. I'll leave some snakes to protect you. Just remember not to get too close to them."

Nanami nodded slightly to them, then spoke again to the group of snakes. Some of them stayed and surrounded Mashiro and the others, while the rest followed Nanami and moved forward quickly.

"Nanafuka...you must come back safely with Ruyi!"

Mashiro looked at her back and couldn't help but shout in nervous worry, while Nanami turned around and smiled at her comfortingly, with the familiar gentle expression on his abnormal face.

"Don't worry, Ruwei and I will be fine."

Chapter 150 Fighting

"It sucks..."

Nagasaki Motoyo silently wiped the blood from his face, looked tiredly at Yashio-senpai who was fighting the attackers not far away, and sighed deeply.

She was originally helping Xiao Mu take care of cucumbers because he didn't come to school because of Huang Yin, but these crazy people rushed in without any warning, and a classmate who was familiar with her was dismembered on the spot... Fortunately, after going through so much, her ability to withstand it has improved. Although her body is still shaking, she can control it. In the past, she would probably have started vomiting with tears streaming down her face like many of her classmates.

No matter what, I must calm down. Only by staying calm can I find a way to survive.

Nagasaki Suyo took a deep breath, and as she calmed her breathing, she saw that Senior Yashio had pierced through the body of another attacker, but more active tentacles emerged from his body. They drilled into other moving human bodies as quickly as before, and the physical fitness of the remaining attackers had been significantly improved, which put more and more pressure on Senior Yashio.

...No, Yashio-senpai is alone. Although she has tried her best, she can't hold on like this.

Nagasaki Suyo quickly realized the danger in front of her. When she thought of the consequences of her only pillar, Senior Yashio, being killed, she couldn't help but tremble. She hurriedly looked around for ways to help her senior, and finally her eyes fell on an open box in a hidden corner.

"boom,"

"Hahaha! Just surrender! Don't you think it's getting harder and harder to hold on?!"

The bullet fired by Ruwei hit the leading man, but he had already absorbed many tentacles at this time, and his body gradually expanded and began to mutate. Even after being hit, he did not retreat even a step.

"It's really hard,"

Yashio Ruwei sighed, and at the same time, the other attackers rushed towards her frantically, many filthy limbs burst out of their flesh and slammed towards Yashio Ruwei.

She was caught off guard and was hit hard. The powerful force made her slam into the wall. In the dizziness of pain, Ruwei's shaking vision saw the rapidly enlarging mimic blade. She subconsciously turned her head, and the blade grazed her head and hit the wall. Amidst the sharp friction sound that made her teeth ache, she calmly raised the butt of the gun and smashed back the limb that was still trying to attack, then pulled the trigger to blow the enemy's head off.

"Damn bugs!"

While the others were still trying to surround her, an angry voice familiar to all the students rang out. The bodies of many attackers were instantly deformed by the invisible force. Their tentacles instinctively tried to escape, but the moment they emerged from the body, they were burned to ashes by the magic light.

"It's the Chairman! The Chairman actually has this kind of power?!"

"We are saved, woooooo..."

The surviving students whimpered in surprise, and the chairman slowly walked out of the corridor. She glanced at the blood on the ground, and her already gloomy expression became even more distorted. She looked at the leading man with cold murderous intent.

"Tell me who sent you here. If you tell me now, I might consider letting you die more peacefully."

"You sound quite arrogant, but you have some inexplicable power. Do you think you can compete with us?"

The man sneered and raised his hand to ask the other men to gather around him, but the next moment a series of gunshots suddenly rang out.

"Bang bang bang!"

The other attackers were shot in the back of the head and fell straight down. Everyone subconsciously looked at Ru Wei, but soon realized that it was not her work. Although she was surprised that there were others helping her, she subconsciously raised her gun and smashed the bodies of those people. The tentacles that wanted to escape were all burned to ashes, which made the man's expression of confidence in victory suddenly freeze.

"The more of those things gather, the stronger you become, right? Then we definitely won't let you develop to the final stage. This isn't a game."

Nagasaki Suyo came out from behind, calmly raised her gun to the man and spoke softly. She was particularly grateful for her previous hard training. If even one shot missed, she would be hit in the face by the missed enemy.

"...I was negligent. Moon Forest is indeed not that easy to deal with."

The man was silent for a while, then he gritted his teeth and spoke slowly. Suddenly, more filthy limbs burst out of his body, like a humanoid spider.

"But you may not be able to defeat me now. Let me see your level now..."

He suddenly froze in the middle of his words. With a distorted expression, the man looked at the huge group of snakes slowly approaching from a distance. He suddenly realized that his chances of winning, which were originally less than half, had completely become zero.

"What a bunch of losers! They've spent so much time and still haven't achieved their goal."

At this moment, a cold female voice that was very familiar to Ru Wei sounded slowly. She opened her eyes in confusion, and when Nagasaki Suyo hurriedly wanted to turn the gun, the black-robed man who appeared from nowhere instantly shifted his body and appeared in front of her at an incredible speed before she could aim. He raised his hand and directly grabbed her neck and lifted her up.

“Ahem…”

Suffocation and pain spread rapidly. Su Shi gripped the rifle tightly and tried to raise the muzzle, but when she saw the familiar face under the hood, she was stunned and paused for a moment.

The next moment, her gun was knocked away by force, and the man in black robe punched her on the back of the neck, causing Nagasaki Suye's head to tilt and pass out. Then she was thrown to the ground casually, and her body was covered by the magic circle that appeared below, and gradually became blurred.

"Don't think about it!"

Realizing what she was about to do, the chairman roared and tried to block the spell, but the man in black robe raised his hand first and let the strong spell light burst out instantly. They quickly approached the surviving students, forcing the chairman to release the defense barrier first.

"call out,"

At this moment, the sound of a flute suddenly rang out, and then several bloody holes exploded in the black-robed figure's body. She staggered, then quickly raised her hand and released a terrifying wave of flames at Hiromachi Nanami. The unexpected power caused the latter to temporarily abandon the attack and summon a swarm of snakes to block the sparks. At the same time, she also noticed something and frowned slightly in confusion.

"With this level of power... you're burning your own sanity and vitality, forcibly converting them into magic. You'll die soon. Is this necessary?"

"Haha, of course it's necessary."

A hoarse voice sounded, and after hearing it, Qi Shen opened her eyes wide in disbelief, just like Ru Wei. She subconsciously opened her mouth to call out something, but after meeting Ru Wei's warning gaze, she reacted and quickly suppressed her voice.

At the same time, Nagasaki Suyo had been teleported away by the magic circle. The man in black robe raised his hand, grabbed the man and began to absorb his vitality. Amidst screams, Yashiro Rui gritted her teeth and raised her rifle. After hesitating, she pulled the trigger at her shoulder.

"boom,"

The spell was interrupted, and the backlash damage made the black-robed man, who was almost dead, unable to hold on any longer. As the man exploded into pieces, she slowly fell to the ground, revealing white hair from her hood that was very familiar to both Ruwei and Qi Shen.

"Let's go up and check if she can be saved. She must know a lot. We need to capture her."

Yashio Rui nodded to the chairman, then hurriedly walked towards the black-robed person with Nanami. When they reached her side, they exchanged a complicated look, then turned back to make sure that no one else could see her face from this distance, then leaned over and lifted her hood.

"Your strength... is quite good."

But then, the face they saw belonged to their friend, "Kurata Mashiro" who gave them a tired smile. She looked exactly like Mashiro except for the black number 87 on her forehead and her expression. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still stunned by the shock.

"Are you surprised? I know what you're thinking. I'm certainly not your friend, but I am also Kurata Mashiro to some extent... the eighty-seventh Mashiro."

Chapter 151: Mashiro's Rampage

"Tsukushi...are we just going to wait here forever?"

Gunshots and roars could be heard from afar. Mashiro looked at the snakes surrounding them and hesitated for a moment before she could not help but whisper,

"Although I believe in Ruwei and Nanami, and I know that rushing over there will only cause more trouble... But I really feel bad about just standing here and doing nothing... Is there really nothing we can do to help them?"

"Mashiro, we're just high school girls after all. Ruui and Nanami are probably just special cases..."

"Hey, Xiaobai, I understand how you feel. I actually have the same idea as you... but there's really nothing we can do."

Tsukushi hesitated in the face of her question, not knowing what to say, while Tohru sighed helplessly.

"Although we're reluctant, we have to admit that we can't help much if we go over there now. Even if there are extra guns over there, we haven't even touched a weapon much, so it's impossible for us to hit the enemy, right?"

"...Yes, we really don't have any power at all, so now we can only let them face danger... We really have no choice but to accept it."

Mashiro lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, he nodded silently, his heart gradually filled with a sense of powerlessness.

But... why did it happen like this? It was just a normal school life before, everything was fine before, but suddenly, everything was shattered... After going through so much, everything she finally loved was so fragile?

"Buzz,"

Just as she was thinking this, Mashiro suddenly felt an indescribable strange sound ringing in her ears. She was stunned for a moment and slowly turned her head, and then... she saw a strange creature floating not far away.

Its head looked like a cluster of sea anemones, its dense tentacles wrapped around it to form an oval sphere. Its uncomfortably dark pink body shimmered with a faint light, and it was now flapping its wings and flying in the air... What was even more obvious was that its shape was blurry and difficult to see clearly, like a phantom.

"Sizzle,"

It seemed to notice Mashiro's gaze, and as it slowly turned its head, all the tentacles on its head flickered. Although it did not speak any human language, Mashiro seemed to understand what it meant.

"Compatriot, are you awake?"

"…What are you?"

The huge shock and confusion took away Mashiro's consciousness for a moment. She was stunned for a long time before she managed to squeeze out a sound. However, after she blinked, the creature in the air disappeared in an instant. At the same time, she heard the anxious voices of Tsukushi and Tohko.

"Mashiro? Mashiro? What's wrong with you? Who are you talking to? Mashiro?"

"Tsukushi, Touko...what happened?"

Mashiro slowly came back to her senses. She looked back at them in confusion, while Touko was stunned for a moment and sighed helplessly.

"Are you asking us? We wanted to ask you. I don't know what happened to you just now. You just stared straight in that direction. We asked you but you didn't respond. It was like your soul had suddenly left your body... I was really scared to death."

"Yeah, Mashiro, you didn't move at all just now, and your pupils were dilated... Are you sick? Or did you discover something? Are you feeling unwell now?"

Tsukushi held her hand worriedly, and Mashiro was also stunned by their words. She looked at the place where the creature was originally in confusion, hesitated, and spoke softly.

"Tsukushi, Touko, didn't you see it just now?"

"See what?"

"A... very strange creature, with a head like a rambutan, several pairs of limbs on its body, and it can fly. I just saw it, and it called me a compatriot... Didn't you see it?"

"Mashiro... there was nothing there just now."

Hearing her words, Tsukushi and Tohko were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. They hesitated and slowly shook their heads, while Mashiro looked at them blankly.

"You didn't see it? Even though it looked like an illusion, it did exist for several seconds. Didn't you notice?"

"Mashiro, are you too tired? Or, are you too worried about Ruwei and the others?"

Tsukushi couldn't understand her words at all. After thinking for a moment, he asked tentatively, while Mashiro frowned and shook his head.

"No, I'm sure I didn't see it wrong. It shouldn't be an illusion... What on earth is going on? Why is it calling me a compatriot?"

"Because it's targeting you, Mashiro,"

At this moment, a voice that Mashiro was familiar with suddenly rang out. She turned around a little surprised and pursed her lips when she saw it was her mother. She felt more confused than relieved.

"Mom, why are you here? And what did you just say? You can see that thing too?"

"Well, I can see it. That creature is called Migo. It's ugly and cunning, and it likes to steal our brains... I'm afraid it's noticed you, which is not a good thing."

Kurata Yui

Yu shook his head seriously and walked towards Mashiro while speaking. At the same time, the snakes guarding here raised their heads and hissed at her, forcing Yu Yu to stop, sigh and wave to Mashiro.

"Mashiro, can you bring your friends out? I want to take you to a safe place first. Although there are snakes left here by your friends, they may not be able to resist the danger."

Logically, Mashiro shouldn't have hesitated, but at this moment she inexplicably felt a little timid, as if her mother, who had always been kind to her, was planning to do something terrible.

"……good,"

But this was just a feeling of unknown origin. Mashiro hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, pulling Tsukushi and the others' hands and walking out of the protection of the snakes. They seemed to feel something at this time and continued to hiss at Kurata Yu, but because of the instructions given to them by Nanami, they could not hurt or stop Mashiro and the others, so they could only watch it all.

"Good boy, I knew you would listen to me,"

Seeing them come out, Yui's smile became even happier. She waved lightly to Tsukushi and Touko, and their bodies suddenly stopped and then fell to the ground. Mashiro was stunned for a moment because she had not expected this situation. At the same time, the group of snakes that were freed from their restraints because she finally took action pounced on her without hesitation.

"I didn't expect to see the high-level spells of the snake people here, but these magical creations can't stop me."

Jie Yu shook her head slightly, raised her hand and released a large flame to engulf them. The snakes continued to fall fearlessly, but this gap was enough for Jie Yu to grab Mashiro's arm. She smiled at her, and the expression on her face made Mashiro feel unfamiliar.

"Mom...what's going on? Why are you doing this?"

"Don't ask so many questions, Mashiro. All you need to do now is follow me."

Jie Yu opened the magic circle to teleport her away, and Mashiro suddenly thought of something at this time, and quickly turned to look at Tsukushi and Touko on the ground.

"Wait, Zhumeng and the others are still here. They might be in danger..."

"They are not important at all, don't worry about them."

Jie Yu answered casually, and then prepared to take Mashiro away by force. She raised her hand to cast a spell, but the next moment, she felt that her accumulated magic power was instantly blocked, and the backlash caused pain to spread to her nerves.

“…No, they are very important.”
