mygo, but Cthulhu

It had deformed butterfly wings, but its head was similar to that of Migo. It grew rapidly at birth, and in the distance, countless monsters crawled out of the corpses. In an instant, screams filled No. 87's eardrums.

"No, don't come over here! I don't want to transform, I don't want to...Ahhhhhh!"

"Damn my original body, damn the butterfly monster, damn this world! Why do I have to die so miserably...Ahhhh!"

The butterfly monsters were dancing gracefully, but No. 87 saw several Mashiro being caught in the air by them, and then their skin and flesh were torn open and they got into their bodies. A moment later, tentacles burst out from their eyeballs, causing them to grow wings and smile, flying around looking for their other sisters.

Fear made No. 87 tremble uncontrollably. She gritted her teeth and tried to speed up, but soon she heard the buzzing sound of death-like wings and a crazy twisted scream from behind her.

"Don't run away, sister, join us, this is the liberation! This is the liberation!"

"Add your mom!"

No. 87 gripped his weapon tightly, turned around, and swung his sword with all his might, roaring as he tore the butterfly monster in half. She fell to the ground and twitched, and No. 87 crushed her face with one foot.

But even after killing one, No. 87's despair did not improve at all. She looked up at the countless monsters that had surrounded her, sighed, and prepared to pierce her own heart. She would rather die than become that kind of monster.

"It's so unfair. Because of the original's expectations and imagination, we have to face so many monsters... She never knew how much pain she caused us, did she?"

But then, a voice suddenly rang out, and the next moment, No. 87 was shocked to see that the surrounding butterfly monsters were instantly torn apart by an invisible force. They screamed and pounced on the rebels, but were soon engulfed in flames. They fell to the ground with screams and convulsions, their twisted and deformed bodies shaking constantly.

"You are……"

In the sky full of flames, No. 87 stared blankly at Mashiro in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the number on her forehead.

"number 1?"

Chapter 154 Conflict

“…Number 1?”

Kurata Mashiro suddenly opened her eyes and subconsciously sat up in bed. Her body was still tense because of the real and terrible scene, and cold sweat soaked her school uniform.

"Cough cough..."

She tried to calm down

She held her breath for a long while before finally succeeding. Meanwhile, the horrific scenes from the nightmare continued to play before her eyes, causing her to sigh uncontrollably and mutter to herself tiredly.

"Calm down, Kurata Mashiro, you're not No. 87, you're just the lead singer of Morfonica, don't scare yourself..."

It must be because so many messed up things happened that she had this kind of dream... But why did her mother do that?

Recalling the previous situation, Mashiro's expression was filled with suppressed confusion. She lowered her head and looked at the bed silently. Before she could feel the frustration and sadness, Nanami suddenly opened the door. Seeing that she was awake, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to look at her with concern.

"Mashiro, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Nana... I'm fine. Luckily you weren't hurt either. How is Ruwei?"

"Ruyu is fine. We only discovered you were attacked after we came back... Mashiro, do you know why your mother did that?"

"No, I don't know. I don't understand it at all..."

Mashiro's voice trembled. Her memory was not damaged at all. She clearly remembered everything that had happened before, including her sudden loss of consciousness and the subsequent rampage.

"She's not usually like this. I don't know what happened to her. I don't even know if I can go home... And why did I suddenly fall into such a terrible state at that time? I also used that terrifying ability... Qi Shen, do you know what happened to me?"

As the story unfolded, Mashiro suddenly realized how many incomprehensible problems were surrounding her. She looked at Nanami with hope amidst her pain, but the latter only sighed.

"I'm sorry, Mashiro. I don't know much right now, but after defeating those attackers, Ruwei and I discovered something, and now I have to tell you..."

"I'm sorry, classmate, Mashiro still needs to rest, we can't..."

"Boom,"

The door was suddenly pushed open with force. Tsukushi stumbled back into the room and almost fell. Mashiro subconsciously supported her and frowned at the intruder.

"I'm sorry, but I can't find Yashio-senpai right now because he's busy, and I do have something very urgent to ask your friend, so I can't wait any longer."

The pink-haired girl expressionlessly apologized to Tsukushi softly, glancing at Mashiro before turning her gaze towards Nanami.

"You're Hiromachi-senpai, right? As far as I know, your classmate Nagasaki Soyo was teleported away by that attacker, and you and Yashio-senpai are the only two people who have had close contact with her... May I ask, what did that attacker look like? Why did she take Soyorin away?"

"Soyorin? Are you her friend?"

Nanami was stunned for a moment, then she found that the girl in front of her looked familiar. After thinking about it, she realized that she was a team member of Nagasaki, and her name seemed to be Chihaya Aine.

"I did communicate with the attacker... but was it necessary for you to push Tsukushi in directly? Wouldn't it be enough to just yell outside?"

"Sorry, it's my fault. I was too impatient."

Aine sighed, trying hard to suppress the anxiety rising in her heart.

"Please tell me the attacker's information. It's very important to me. Please."

"Well... since you have your reasons, it's not impossible for us to understand you."

At this moment, Tsukushi shook his head at Nanami who was frowning, indicating that he did not care about this matter. Seeing this, Nanami sighed.

However, she didn't intend to tell someone she didn't know about the clone's situation. After all, it concerned Mashiro... Although she was sorry, she needed to keep the situation secret.

"The attacker doesn't look like anything special, just an ordinary-looking girl. I don't know why she would do such a thing."

Nanami shook her head at Aine. As a snake-man, she could easily make her expression appear flawless. Although her heartbeat would slightly speed up physiologically, it was obviously impossible for ordinary people to notice this, so there was no need for her to go to great lengths to conceal it.

"It's a shame, but we don't know why she wanted to take Nagasaki away. But don't worry, we will continue to investigate. If we find Nagasaki, we will definitely rescue her."

"..."

Qi Shen thought the girl in front of her would look disappointed when she heard this, and she had already thought of words of comfort. However, she didn't hear anything. When she looked up in surprise, Qi Shen met extremely cold gray eyes. The clear sense of threat made her realize in an instant that she was not human like herself... and her single body was definitely much stronger than hers!

"Mashiro, please step back quickly..."

Alarm bells rang in Nanami's mind. She screamed and subconsciously took out her flute to play, but the next moment her neck was strangled. Aine's movements were so fast that she couldn't react at all. When she came to her senses, the flute in her hand had been taken away. She was pressed against the wall by the terrifying force. Her pupils, which appeared in response to stress, trembled as they met the gray eyes full of murderous intent.

"You're lying. Your heartbeat just now was rapid. You're hiding information about the attacker. Why? Are you in cahoots with her? Are you acting?"

"us……"

The terrifying force on her neck brought her pain and suffocation. Nanami just managed to squeeze out a few words but was unable to continue. She trembled and beat Aine's hand desperately, but it felt like it was as hard as steel and she could not shake it at all.

"Don't touch her!"

Tsukushi came to her senses before Mashiro, and rushed over to try to pull Aine away, but her strength was ridiculous to Aine. She threw Tsukushi to the ground with a light flick, and her head was broken by the corner of the table and bleeding.

"You... stop it right now!"

The glaring scarlet on Tsukushi's forehead suddenly pulled Mashiro's consciousness back. All her hesitation and fear instantly turned into rage. Amidst the roar, the broken memories of No. 87 and the scene of her first time slitting the throats of her other sisters reappeared before her eyes.

This was not as difficult as No. 87 had imagined. He only needed to attach magic power to the weapon to make it extremely sharp, enough to cut through most obstacles.

The feeling of weakness in her body quickly disappeared at this moment. Those terrifyingly real memories made Mashiro have no hesitation or doubt. She subconsciously jumped off the bed and grabbed the fruit knife beside her. As the scene in her memory overlapped with the reality at the moment, she skillfully attached the strange power surging from her body to the blade and swung the weapon at Aine as quickly as possible.

"Bah,"

Aine raised her hand and gripped the blade tightly, but the weapon did not break easily as she expected. An unexpected pain came from the palm of her hand, accompanied by blood that gradually overflowed from between her fingers.

"...Enchanting skills, strange. Based on the information I have, you shouldn't have such a simple ability."

Aine was silent for a while before she spoke slowly. Mashiro gritted her teeth and tried to pull out the weapon with all her strength. However, no matter how hard she tried, the hand still didn't loosen its grip at all. It even ignored the ever-widening wound from the cut and tightened its grip, causing the enchanted fruit knife to twist bit by bit.

"The level of increase is also far above average. It seems you have something special about you."

Aine spoke calmly and softly, while crushing the fruit knife into pieces with all her strength, and the collapsed magic power came out from

Blood seeped out from between her fingers, and she slowly loosened her hand under Mashiro's blank gaze, letting the blood-stained fragments fall from her rapidly healing palm.

…Even if I inexplicably gained this power, would it still not be enough?

Mashiro's consciousness began to waver again, and she felt the pain in her head again, but the next moment, Ichigaya Yusaki's cold voice suddenly came from the door.

"That's enough, Chihaya Aine, let go of Nanami right now, or I'll be rude."

Chapter 155 Arisaki's Reluctance

The original dizziness disappeared immediately, and Mashiro turned to look at Arisaki in surprise. At this time, she was staring at Aine coldly, with many talismans floating around her, all emitting faint light and locking onto Aine, ready to release spells at any time.

"I can let her go, but she can't do anything, and she has to tell me the truth."

Aine spoke calmly and softly, while Yusaki nodded expressionlessly.

"I promise they will agree. Now let go quickly. She's almost suffocating."

Seeing her agree, Aine shrugged and released her hand. Finally released, Nanami coughed in pain and knelt on the ground. His almost chaotic consciousness quickly recovered with the fresh air, and he breathed heavily and tremblingly.

"Qian Shen, are you okay?"

Mashiro and Tsukumu quickly helped her up, and when Nanami was finally able to squeeze out a sound, she quickly reached out to Aine, eagerly gesturing to the flute in her hand.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you...but please return my things to me first. They are very important to our family. Please."

"I'll give it back to you once you've told me everything."

Aine shook her head slightly, and Nanami sighed. She consoled Mashiro and Tsukushi with a few words, then held Mashiro's hand with a complicated expression.

"Mashiro, you have to promise me first... no matter what I say next, you must stay calm, okay?"

"Yes, I promise you."

Although he didn't understand why she said that, Mashiro nodded subconsciously, and Nanami sighed again and spoke slowly.

"Chihaya-san, I apologize for what I concealed before, but I also lied for a reason... The attacker looks exactly like Mashiro. She said she was a copy of Mashiro, and there was even the Arabic numeral 87 on her forehead."

"...Qi Shen, what did you just say?"

When Mashiro heard her words, he was stunned for a moment, and Nanami's expression became helpless and gloomy.

"I'm sorry, Mashiro. I know it's hard for you to believe, but I promise everything I said is true. That person said she was created by your mother. There were more clones besides her, and they were all tools she used for some kind of experiment. After she said this, she died."

"Chihaya-kun, since you can confirm whether I lied or not, you should now understand that this is all the information I know. I don't know anything more than that."

"Well, now I can confirm that you are telling the truth,"

Aine relaxed her tense body a little, and glanced at Mashiro who looked bewildered.

"I also understand why you hid it from me. After all, this concerns your team members... And I just heard that the attacker wanted to attack you before she died, but you ended up burning her body. This was also to prevent her appearance from being seen by others in the Moon Forest, right?"

"Well, you have a really sharp mind... Now that you know the reason, could you please not tell anyone about it? I've already been expelled from school for being an outlier, but I don't want Mashiro to end up like me."

Nanami sighed, and Aine thought for a moment and nodded slightly, raising her hand to return the flute to her.

"I just want to find Soyorin. I have no interest in causing trouble for you. If you had chosen to be honest from the beginning, none of this would have happened... Then according to what you said, the person who kidnapped Soyorin is Kurata Yuuko. She really has started to cause trouble again."

"Let me make it clear in advance. If I find her, I will definitely try to kill her. Don't try to stop me. Since she attacked Soyorin, she must bear the consequences... Do you understand?"

"It's up to you. We don't care whether she lives or dies. I don't think Mashiro will recognize a mother like that again."

Nanami shook her head, and Aine shrugged and turned to leave. As she passed the door, she turned her head and looked at Yusaki. Seeing the hostility in her eyes that still lingered, she sighed softly.

"Arisaki-senpai, do you still hate us for killing Satomi-senpai?"

"Unless you can bring Satomi back, my hatred will never go away, not to mention that your friend Toyokawa Shoko is threatening me with such despicable means."

Ichigaya Yusaki sneered.

"By the way, I'm actually glad that your friend and that guy are now missing. Maybe this is your karma, isn't it?"

"..."

Aine stared at her expressionlessly, the anger in her heart gradually flaring up because of her words. She clenched her fists, and Yusaki continued to stare at her without showing any weakness, with a smile full of contempt on his face.

"...I pity you, Arisaki-senpai. You've been twisted beyond recognition by hatred. I'm afraid Satomi-senpai would be very sad to see you."

After a moment's silence, Aine suddenly spoke softly, and Yusaki's expression suddenly froze. She opened her eyes wide and wanted to speak angrily, but Aine had already turned and left. Yusaki stared at her back with a distorted face, and subconsciously raised her hand to let the talisman bombard her, but after hesitating for a long time, she finally did not do it.

"You're so high and mighty, you damned bastard! Who do you think did all this?!"

After Aine disappeared, Arisaki angrily punched the wall. Her fragile palms, which had never been strengthened, felt pain, but it made Arisaki feel even more unwilling to give up.

If I could have the same level of power as her, if I could become stronger, then Satomi wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have been unable to take revenge until now...

Arisaki lowered his head deeply, trembling, and looked at the ground with a gloomy expression, his heart filled with pathetic self-mockery and hatred.

She was still too weak. Even though she had been learning new spells, she couldn't keep up with the speed at which Mygo and Mujica were getting stronger... She had to gain more power, at any cost.

Chapter 156 Xiangzi's Situation

"..."

In the dark room, Shoko Toyokawa looked at the ceiling silently. She didn't know where she was. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in this room and had no way to leave.

She looked helplessly at the shackles on her body, and after a long silence, she couldn't help but sigh heavily.

She really didn't expect that Chu Hua had such a side to her. She was like two completely different people from before. Her morbid attachment to her was indescribable. The momentary peace she had now was only possible because of her temporary departure.

...When can I leave here?

Toyokawa Shoko closed her eyes tiredly, but the next moment she heard the sound of the door opening. She quickly turned to look at Chuhua, who smiled and waved at her.
