mygo, but Cthulhu

In front of her were a few familiar-looking classmates. She thought about it and remembered that they were the three from glitter*green. The remaining one who didn't come was Rimi's sister, who seemed to be still studying abroad... For some reason, their expressions looked a little depressed and sad.

"Hello...what can I do for you?"

Confused, she spoke carefully, and Li Yi pursed her lips and sighed as she spoke.

"We heard that you haven't been to school for a while, so we came to visit you...By the way, do you know anything about Saaya's parents?"

"What happened to Sa Ling's parents?"

"They unfortunately died, and the police said it was food poisoning... The problem is, they clearly ran a bakery, and I don't think they would make such a mistake."

Twenty-knight Hinako spoke coldly at this time. Her expression was completely different from her usual cheerful and cheerful expression, which made Satoshi feel a little strange.

"Hinako-san...what do you mean?"

"...Satoshi, to be honest, someone told us that Saaya's parents' death was not a simple matter, and she also said that the death of your team member was not an accident either."

After a moment of silence, Nana Tobibe spoke calmly and softly.

"So we want to confirm with you, was the death of Xia Xi and the others really just an accident? Weren't they killed by someone?"

"I……"

Ri Shi, who had never expected such a situation, was speechless for a moment. She hesitated and didn't know what to say. The bloody scene of that day flashed before her eyes again.

"Satoshi, if you're still hesitant, let us tell you...Satoshi is also dead. The police also said it was an accident."

"what?!"

Hinako suddenly spoke at this time, and Rimi opened her eyes wide and screamed. She looked at Hinako in disbelief, and subconsciously hoped that she was joking, but those cold eyes broke her hope.

"We also went to look for Kasumi and the others, but although they were equally sad, they didn't want to tell us anything. They were obviously afraid that we would get involved."

"Satoshi, I can honestly tell you that we can't stand this anymore. Our friends and classmates keep dying for unknown reasons, and those damn liars only repeat the same excuses... We can't rely on them at all. We need to find the reason ourselves."

"Not long ago, Lily also returned to Japan to investigate the cause of Rimi's death. We had planned to meet up with her, but she disappeared very quickly, and then we learned of her death..."

"Student Lily... is she dead too?"

Rishi's head was getting more and more dizzy because of this news, and the three of them nodded slightly after a silence.

"Yes, we were equally incredulous when we first learned about it, but this clearly shows that the danger is far greater than we imagined... But we can't continue to turn a blind eye. We must avenge our friends, even if it means dying. Satoshi, are you willing to join us?"

"me……"

Knowing that so many people had died, pain and sorrow continued to spread in Rishi's chest. She felt a buzzing in her ears, and the side effects of the medicine and the flowing tears seemed to mix together, making it unbearable for her.

Is she...really going to go? This is definitely dangerous. She also wants to help others get revenge, but can she do it alone with her incompetent self?

Ri Shi couldn't help but gasp in pain, and the three men realized something was wrong and hurried to support her. Just when she was about to lose consciousness, a hand suddenly supported her, and a feeling of warmth flowed into her body, making her spirits quickly improve.

"Thanks……"

She subconsciously turned her head and saw a white-haired girl, who smiled kindly.

"Hello, Daihu-san, are you okay? Do you need some rest?"

"I'm fine...thanks to you."

"Well, I'm glad you're okay... But to be honest, I actually know what you just talked about."

"What did you say?!"

Hinako raised her voice in surprise, but the girl made a shushing gesture, which made her come back to her senses and quickly apologize.

"Sorry, I'm a little too surprised...but how did you know?"

"Well, I'm an insider in this area. Actually, the reason why Satoshi's team members died was not simple. They were killed by the Deep Ones transformed by Umino Natsuki."

The girl continued to narrate, and what she said made the three of them stunned for a moment. They looked at Ri-shi subconsciously with confused faces, and she nodded painfully after a moment of silence.

"That's indeed the case...but you should come in first, and I'll explain it to you slowly."

After everyone entered the room, Ri Shi slowly explained in a low voice the bloody scene he had seen that day. After listening to it, the three of them all showed expressions of pain and incomprehension, and the already dark room fell into silence.

"This is medicine for depression, Satoshi, are you okay?"

At this moment, the girl looked at the medicine bottle on the table and suddenly spoke. She was stunned for a moment and then quickly shook her head.

"I'm fine, it's just a minor problem... Then, you just said that their deaths were not simple. Is there a hidden story behind this?"

"Yes, that's right. The Deep Ones aren't actually mere beasts. Their transformation is slow. Although they lose their personality, because of the remaining beliefs, Natsuki Umino wouldn't have attacked her friends and family at that time."

The girl nodded slightly, then placed a document on the table. Rishi picked it up and looked at it. After a moment, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she slowly raised her head to look at her in bewilderment.

"Because of the stimulation of Chihaya Aine's blood, Umino Natsuki transformed prematurely. It is speculated that her severe aggression and lack of intelligence are caused by this... What does this mean?"

"It's exactly what it says. Chihaya Aine is a deep diver with a powerful bloodline. Her blood caused your friend to deform prematurely. Coincidentally, her friends and family were around that day, which led to this tragedy... Did Chihaya tell you about this?"

"She... called me a few times. After comforting me, she seemed to hesitate and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it... It turned out that this was the thing she couldn't say."

Satoshi slowly lowered her head to look at the information, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but clench her teeth.

All her pain and loss turned out to be because of that pink-haired girl. She had questioned her fate countless times, wondering why this was happening. It turned out that it was all because of her, because of that girl...

At this moment, Ri Shi finally found the original culprit, the source of pain that originally broke all this. She held the information tightly, and the hatred in her heart continued to grow at a speed she had never imagined.

"However, she doesn't seem to have caused all this on purpose, so I have to ask you, Satoshi, do you want revenge on her?"

"What a joke

...Of course! She saved me. It's fair to say that without her, I would have died long ago... But without her, everyone except Xia Xi would be safe, and Xia Xi would just transform into a rational monster and swim into the sea! "

Da Hu Li Shi roared tremblingly, crumpled the documents into a ball and slammed them hard on the table, his tearful face twisted with hatred.

"I know she didn't mean it... but if I don't seek revenge just because of this, then what will become of Xia Xi and the others?! Did they die in vain?! Is there no meaning to their deaths?!"

"Of course not!"

Hinako gritted her teeth and continued, her tone full of hatred.

"Our friends' deaths cannot be in vain. Someone must pay the price. The police and the government are lying. We didn't notice anything in the past, so we lost them... But we must take action. We must seek justice for them in our own way!"

"Very good. I'm glad you said that. In fact, the reason I came to tell you this is because I don't want you to be kept in the dark. It would be pitiful if an important friend died without knowing the truth, wouldn't it?"

The girl smiled, then shrugged as she remembered something.

"By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Miyashiro Orie. Since you've all decided to seek revenge, I'll explain the horrific reality of this world to you so you can understand why those police officers are lying."

Zhijiang smiled and briefly introduced the fact that humans were not the only ones, as well as several Outer Gods. However, when she introduced the Three Pillar Gods, her expression suddenly became serious, and she stared at them seriously.

"By the way, there's one thing you need to pay special attention to... Although most Outer Gods are indifferent to us, there's one with a particularly nasty personality who isn't. He has an incomprehensible and terrifying fondness for us, and is best at leading us into pain and chaos, and then to death in despair... He takes pleasure in this, and we clearly don't understand the reason for his attention. Perhaps it's just for fun."

"Not only that, one of His titles is the Thousand-Faced God, and He has numerous incarnations on Earth, most of which have corresponding cults. Considering the coincidences in this tragedy, I believe we need to be extra vigilant against Him. If you notice a cheerful, dark-skinned man, remember to stay away from him; he could very well be one of His incarnations."

"We wouldn't approach someone like that anyway... But what is the name of this Outer God? You said their names, though crudely understood by humans, still carry a certain power... In an emergency, could we use their attention to save our lives?"

"It's best not to have such thoughts. You don't understand it now, but you will soon find out. Sometimes a quick and easy death is a blessing. If He notices this, you might be trapped in endless torment for eternity."

Orie shook her head, but Hinako's expression seemed to be concerned for some reason. After thinking for a moment, she asked again,

"Then at least tell us His name."

"His name is Nyarlathotep."

At this moment, Zhijiang wanted to refuse, but her consciousness was inadvertently trance. She frowned slightly and said the name fluently, then instinctively realized that something was wrong.

Ah, I was tricked.

An idea flashed through her mind, and she turned to look at the gap between the curtains, and was met with a bright smile from a dark-skinned man, who even waved gently at her.

"Tsk,"

She clicked her tongue and hurriedly tried to turn on the light, but the next moment she saw the darkness in the room suddenly come alive and surge, then slowly destroy all the lights.

"Get down on your stomach and cover your eyes and ears!"

She shouted calmly, then pulled out a flash grenade from her pocket. Rishi and the others subconsciously followed her instructions, and then they felt a burst of light and a loud noise that almost penetrated their palms.

"boom!"

When they opened their eyes again, the house was in a mess. Zhijiang staggered and clung to the wall. She tried to steady her consciousness. After confirming that the strange darkness had been dispelled, she quickly turned her head to look at the window. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the man had disappeared.

"It seems like this is just His casual manipulation. He doesn't plan to kill us for the time being. This is both good news and bad news."

"So...what should we do now?"

Satoshi and the others helped each other to get up, and asked unconsciously, while Zhijiang smiled.

"Let's go find Miss Xianjuanxin from your school first. She doesn't know about this yet. Although those men in black don't want her to know, as long as she knows about it, she will get involved. That's just her personality."

"The power of the Xianjuan family should be able to temporarily divert His attention. Then, we can find an opportunity for revenge."

Chapter 159 Uneasy

"Misaki...Misaki?"

The voice in her ear brought Misaki back to consciousness. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was next to her friend, not the horrible imagination in her chaotic thoughts.

"Misaki, it might be my imagination... but you haven't been in good spirits since the funeral. What happened?"

"Uh, nothing much."

Facing Kanon's concerned expression, Misaki suppressed the urge to sigh and shook her head, while Kokoro smiled and came closer, bringing the exquisite dessert to her mouth.

"Misaki, you must be hungry, right? Come and eat something delicious, and that will surely bring a smile back to your face!"

"No, Xin, I really don't have any appetite right now."

Looking at that carefree smile as usual, Misaki felt her emotions becoming increasingly complicated. After hesitating, she just shook her head.

As she expected, her heart quickly forgot everything related to death. After all, anything unhappy was difficult for her to remember, which was normal.

...But after she knew those things, she could no longer spend her daily life with them as before. Although the man in black said that everything could be left to them, Rimi was already dead, and Arisaki's mood had been even more gloomy and terrifying recently. She couldn't even comfort her...Perhaps the best choice for an ordinary person like her was to remain silent. Apart from that, there was nothing she could do.

...Speaking of which, the reason why she has been with Xin until now is because she wants to help more people, but the risk of getting involved this time is too high. The man in black is also creating a happy environment for Xin.

"..."

Misaki suddenly felt tired and lowered her head silently. Looking at her complicated expression, Kokoro tilted his head in confusion.

"Misaki, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? You look so weird."

"Nothing, just continue talking about other things, don't worry about me."

"How can we do that? We won't do anything else until we can get that smile back on Misaki's face!"

He held Misaki's hand cheerfully, but his usual smile made Misaki feel inexplicably depressed.

"Come on, Misaki, let's think about the next steps for Hello, Happy World together! This way, Misaki, you will definitely be able to gain smiles, because you like to see everyone's smiling faces just like us.

Well! "

"No, seriously..."

"Yeah, yeah! This will definitely work! I don't know what's bothering you, Misaki, but we can definitely..."

"Please stop for a moment,"

Misaki suddenly interrupted her. Although her voice was not loud, the fatigue and toughness in her tone made Xian Juanxin startled. Seeing this, Hanane opened her eyes wide and quickly spoke carefully.

"Misaki...what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell today? Or do you need some rest?"

"...No, sorry, it's my fault. I just... don't want to hear about the band right now."

Misaki was silent and then slowly shook her head and sighed deeply.

After all, this name really made her feel uncomfortable. She once thought that she could help others, but the fact was that their laughter was based on ignorance. Helping others would make her lose everything she was familiar with. The more enthusiastic her heart was, the more unbearable it was for her.

"Shakespeare said that concealing things does no good and only creates estrangement... Misaki, there's a reason you say that, right? Can you tell us?"

Seta Kaoru was also looking at Misaki seriously at this time, but she turned her eyes away silently.

"I'm sorry, it's really nothing. Please don't mind it. If you want me to apologize in another way, I'm willing to accept it."

"Misaki..."

"What's wrong with you? The atmosphere seems a bit bad."

Hanane hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. At this moment, Charlotte also saw their situation. She asked softly with some surprise. The bewildered Yumei also spoke quickly as if she had seen a savior.

"Xia Lili, you're here just in time! Misaki seems a little down today... Do you know why?"

No, she couldn't possibly know the reason no matter how hard she tried, right?

Misaki couldn't help but complain in her heart, but what she didn't expect was that Charlotte didn't shake her head after hearing it, but looked at her meaningfully.

"Misaki is in a bad mood... I have some idea of ​​what's going on, but this is her personal matter. I can talk to her and see if it can be resolved, but you need to leave for a while."
