"I'm back, Xiangzi. I'm sorry I left for a long time. Mainly because something happened outside and I had to make sure it wouldn't affect us."

"What's going on outside?"

"Eh? Xiangzi, do you want to know?"

Chuhua sat next to Xiangzi, which made her body subconsciously tense up. However, Chuhua's current madness also made Xiangzi instinctively cover it up. She forced a smile and nodded slightly.

"I am indeed a little curious. After all, I haven't left this bed except when necessary these days... Tell me, Chuhua, what happened outside?"

"Well, since Xiangzi wants to know, I will tell you."

Chu Hua raised the corners of her mouth and hugged Xiang Zi, while the latter tried to ignore the warm touch of her body and focused on the next words.

"That Misses' Academy, Tsuki no Mori, was attacked. About 30% of the students died. The scene was said to be horrific."

"What? Is Su Shi okay? Where's Morfonica's senior?"

Xiangzi was stunned by the unexpected news, and when he realized what was happening, he quickly asked, but Chuhua just smiled, gently held Xiangzi's face and let her look into his eyes.

"Xiangzi, you still care about your friends and the band you like... If that's the case, then Xiangzi, why do you want to erase yourself? Even if it's not me, there are still people in this world that you care about, right?"

"...Their current situation is all because of me, so it's natural for me to be worried."

"How could that be? These are obviously other people's faults. Why do you always blame yourself, Xiangzi?"

Chu Hua gently stroked her face, his eyes filled with love, clarity, and madness, all directed towards Xiangzi, causing her to tremble.

"Xiangzi, you have been hurting yourself all this time. Ever since your mother committed suicide, you have been blaming yourself. Ever since your father was kicked out by the Toyokawa family, you have stood by him resolutely and endured the hardships that followed."

"I always want to help you, but you always refuse, Xiangzi, because of your pride and ego... I love this, but it also gives me a headache. What makes me even more miserable is that you, Xiangzi, have been scarred by this darkness and coldness, yet in the end you still want to kill yourself to help others."

"I actually don't want to lock you up here, Xiangzi. Unfortunately, my words have never meant anything to you... I fear your resentment, but I fear your disappearance even more, so I have no choice but to do this... And after realizing I have you in my grasp, desires have grown wildly in my heart, urging me to possess you, to hold you in my arms forever... Xiangzi, I am still enduring my impulses."

"You don't have to be so hypocritical,"

Toyokawa Shoko clenched her teeth, finally realizing that she couldn't convince her with words, and couldn't help but sneer.

"I am your property now. You can do whatever you want to me instead of pretending to be nice to me."

"Really? Then if I were completely obsessed with desire, how would you know what's happening outside, Xiangzi, and if anything happened to your friend?"

Chu Hua smiled and looked into her eyes.

"Xiangzi, even if Nagasaki Suyo is missing and her life is in danger at any time, you still want to erase yourself first? The world where you never existed is more important than everything now? Don't you want to help her?"

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment. She was not afraid that Chuhua would become an unreasonable madman, and she was ready to endure any pain and torture... But she didn't expect that Chuhua was more like falling into a lucid madness, and everything he had done so far actually had a reason, and her questioning could leave her speechless.

After a long silence, Xiangzi lowered his head silently, while Chuhua hugged her again with a smile.

"Xiangzi, you still don't know how to decide, right? It's okay, I'll always be here with you. As long as you understand that when you hesitate, your friends are also in danger."

“…Stop talking.”

"Okay, I won't say anything more... Come to think of it, Xiangzi, you still smell so delicious."

At this moment, Xiangzi felt Chuhua's body suddenly tremble. She greedily took a deep breath from her neck, her face full of clear desire, but still looked up at her cautiously, like a hungry puppy begging for favor from its owner.

"Xiangzi, can you give me a piece of meat? Just one piece... I feel really uncomfortable now..."

"..."

Xiangzi did not answer immediately, but looked at the hideous scar on Chuhua's arm with a complicated look.

When she was brought here a few days ago, Chu Hua also hugged her and begged like this. She was still full of panic at the time and subconsciously refused. Chu Hua actually did nothing... but endured it desperately amidst the heart-wrenching wails, and finally resorted to self-harm to suppress her appetite.

...Xiangzi understood that Chuhua loved her, and from her current behavior, her love, although crazy, was still restrained. She wanted to eat her, but was unwilling to go against her ideas... This really made her unable to understand.

"Well, if you want to eat, you can do it."

Xiangzi hesitated for a moment and finally sighed. Chuhua was stunned for a moment and then showed a smile full of surprise. She gently kissed Xiangzi on the face, then raised her hand and cast a spell on Xiangzi, slowly cutting off a piece of flesh from her arm with a dagger.

What surprised Xiangzi was that she felt no pain at all during the process, and the wound on her arm healed quickly. She was sure that Chuhua's consumption was far greater than the replenishment from this piece of meat, but she obviously didn't care about this at all. She handled the meat solemnly, cooked it and put it in her lunch box.

"Xiangzi, let's have dinner together,"

Chu Hua undid the shackles on Xiangzi and smiled at her. She turned around without any defense, and Xiangzi's eyes could not help but fall on the kitchen knife beside him.

Maybe this is an opportunity... No, Chuhua doesn't care about her life at all. She just imprisoned me to make sure that I wouldn't erase myself. If I wanted to kill her, she probably wouldn't resist. There's no way I could threaten her.

Xiangzi sighed deeply. She sat down at the dining table silently and picked up the carefully prepared luxurious lunch box. She found with some complexity that the food Chuhua prepared for her was the most exquisite she had eaten in the past year.

"Boom, boom,"

Just as Xiangzi couldn't help but sigh again, there was a knock on the door. Chuhua's expression froze for a moment, and then he subconsciously picked up the pistol next to him. At the same time, the locked door was gently opened by magic. When Xiangzi saw the person coming, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"Mana, the person next to you is...Kurata-senpai?"

Chapter 157

"Mana...how did you find this place? Why did you bring Kurata Mashiro here?"

Chuhua stood up cautiously, and was ready to shoot at any time. Mana looked at them and sighed with a complicated expression.

"You have traces of self-harm on your body, obviously to suppress your own desires. You even had to ask for her consent to take flesh from her body. Even if I wanted to give you everything, you would have no interest at all... Will I never be as good as Toyokawa Shoko in your eyes? Chuhua?"

"That's right, you are not as good as Xiangzi. Now you should answer my question."

"...This is not Kurata Mashiro, but her number one clone. I only knew you were here because of her, and I didn't bring her here on my own initiative."

Hearing Chuhua nod in affirmation without hesitation, Mana

Her body couldn't help but tremble. She was silent for a while and then slowly began to explain. At this time, "Kurata Mashiro" also smiled and lifted her hair, revealing the number 1 on her forehead.

"Nice to meet you, Chuhua, Xiangzi. I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly, but I wanted to talk to you about the attack in Yuezhisen."

"Xiangzi, do you want to talk to her?"

Chu Hua turned to look at Xiang Zi inquiringly, and after hesitating for a moment, she thought of Su Shi, pursed her lips and nodded seriously.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"We have clues about Nagasaki Suyo, and we can help you find her. This should be what you urgently need, right?"

No. 1 smiled, and Xiangzi nodded calmly.

"Then what do you want?"

"It's simple. Mygo and Mujica need to help me find the other sisters and rescue them all."

The girl who looked like Mashiro calmly stated the conditions.

"In fact, I am hiding from my mother, but I can't hide for long on my own. I know you are pregnant with Yug's offspring. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I can borrow its power to continue hiding until you create an opportunity to attack Kurata Yu."

“…Okay, we agree.”

Xiangzi was silent for a while, then sighed and nodded slightly.

Although she did want to erase herself, and the timeline would be reset after she did so, logically speaking, there was no need to worry about the current situation... but she had no choice but to save Su Shi. Even if it was just a futile effort, she had to at least make sure she and everyone else were safe first.

"Really? Xiaoxiang? If you're willing to save your friend, does that mean you don't want to erase yourself?"

Chu Hua turned to look at her in surprise, while Xiangzi shook his head indifferently.

"That's not the case. I just want to get them out of danger first... They're all like this because of me. I can't just do nothing."

"Okay, then let's go rescue her together."

Chuhua raised the corners of her mouth and nodded slightly, looking much happier. Mana looked at her bright smile silently, her expression becoming increasingly gloomy. After a while, she squeezed out a sound.

"Chuhua...the company has been looking for you these past few days since you disappeared...will you return to Sumimi?"

"That's for Xiangzi..."

"This is your own business, you decide for yourself, don't treat me as your mother."

Xiangzi interrupted Chuhua, and she nodded subconsciously after a moment of hesitation, and shrugged after thinking.

"Then I'll continue to stay in Sumi. Mujica also needs my popularity."

"Well,"

Mana nodded, and when Xiangzi wanted to continue speaking, she suddenly turned her slightly complicated gaze towards Xiangzi.

"Um, Ms. Toyokawa, can I find a room with you to talk alone?"

"Is there something you can't just say?"

"It's quite important information, so I think it's better if it's just the two of us."

Mana shook her head, and Xiangzi also saw that Chuhua looked disapproving and wanted to say something. She glanced at the gloom on Mana's face, sighed, and answered softly first.

"Well, let's find a room to talk."

"Thanks,"

Mana nodded seriously, and Chuhua hesitated for a moment and swallowed her original words. She turned her head and looked at Xiangzi's back until the door was closed.

"Now tell me, what's the matter?"

After separating herself from the gazes focused on her, Xiangzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Mana, who spoke slowly with a complicated expression,

"Ms. Fengchuan, I know you must be very resistant to Chuhua right now... but I still hope you won't blame her too much. She has her reasons for doing this."

"Oh, how dare I blame her?"

Xiangzi couldn't help but sneer when he heard her words.

"I've finally gained my freedom, so I won't be stupid enough to deliberately provoke her. And you don't need to worry that I will bear a grudge against her. After all, there's no point in bearing a grudge against a lunatic."

"I understand, it's normal for you to feel resentful...but the reason Chu Hua has become what she is today is because of her bloodline."

Mana sighed, but Xiangzi remained unmoved.

"That alone isn't enough reason. Aine also has the blood of a Deep One, but she hasn't gone crazy. She's still a normal person."

"Because she grew up in a normal environment, but Chuhua was not so lucky."

"...I know this. Her father was a scumbag and killed her mother when she was a child."

Xiangzi was silent for a while and then spoke softly, but then he shook his head.

"But this does not constitute..."

"She killed her mother herself to save you."

At this moment, Mana suddenly spoke softly, interrupting Xiangzi's voice. She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. After realizing what she had said, she couldn't help but frown.

"What did you say?"

"The pain Chuhua endured wasn't as simple as you think. Her father wasn't a scumbag. He tried his best, but unfortunately, his efforts couldn't undo anything."

Mana sighed heavily, then slowly told Chuhua's story to Xiangzi, who pursed his lips more and more as she narrated. When she finally finished, Xiangzi couldn't speak immediately and could only look at her silently. After confirming that she was not lying... indescribable complexity flooded her thoughts.

She didn't understand why Chu Hua cared about her so much before, but now she finally knew the answer... and she found that she seemed to be able to understand her madness.

"Chuhua... killed her mother to protect me? She came to Tokyo and worked so hard to become an idol, all for me?"

"That's right. Because she sealed her memory, she didn't have the confidence to look for you. She could only try her best to reach a higher stage so that you could see her and maybe contact her... Chuhua, everything she did was for you. To be honest, I'm really jealous of you."

"..."

Xiangzi didn't know what to say for a moment, and Mana sighed at the complicated expression on her face.

"Ms. Fengchuan, I'm not telling you this to force you to forgive Chuhua. I just hope you can understand why she has become like this. She's not a born lunatic. She's just too obsessed with you to pull her out of her numbness."

"Also, please don't let Chuhua know that I told you this. She'll be unhappy with me for making the decision without permission... I don't want her to be angry."

Chapter 158 Naya's Little Prank

"..."

Dahu Lishi looked at the medicine bottle in her hand expressionlessly, staring at the complicated English words on it. After a long silence, she closed her eyes and swallowed it hastily. She didn't even drink water. She felt the pain of the pill passing through her throat, but couldn't feel any fluctuation.

Ever since that incident happened and she signed the confidentiality agreement, her mental state has become worse. Every night she dreams of that bloody scene, and every time she is powerless and can only watch her friends being killed and devoured.

…She sometimes wondered why she was the one who survived. They were all celebrating Natsuki’s birthday, but she and Aine were the only ones who survived… Why?

Da Hu Li Shi sat down on the sofa silently, feeling the nausea brought by the medicine, curled up in a ball and sobbed softly.

She cried, her parents were very worried about her, but unfortunately they couldn't stay with her for too long, so they could only try their best to comfort her...but this did not erase the horrible memories in Rishi's mind.

"dong dong dong,"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Ri Shi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She subconsciously suspected that it was another auditory hallucination, but the sound that rang again denied her guess, and she hurriedly got off the sofa. After hesitating for a moment, she went forward and opened the door.

"Hello, Dahu-san,"
