mygo, but Cthulhu

"Why? Is there something you can't tell us, Misaki?"

She looked at Misaki with confusion, and just when she didn't know how to answer, Charlotte continued to explain softly,

"Everyone has some privacy, so it's normal for you not to understand. But no matter what, Misaki will only be able to smile again after talking to me."

"Well... well, I'll leave it to Charlie then!"

Shin thought for a moment and nodded. Kanon glanced at Misaki worriedly, but before she could say anything, Shin pulled her away... Then, Misaki was speechless as Shin and the others stood symbolically not far away, and waved to Charlotte.

"Charlie, is this far enough?"

"...Xin, take them a little further away, until they can no longer hear us."

Charlotte sighed, and Xin blinked and strode back. After making sure they were far enough away, Charlotte looked at Misaki calmly.

"Misaki-san, you're probably upset because you found out about all that, right?"

"...Charlotte, do you know about this too?"

"After all, the Mizono family also had some connections with the Genmaki family. I was brought to Japan as an attempt by my father to ease the relationship."

Charlotte nodded slightly, and then said something that made Misaki confused.

"Misaki-san, I need to ask you something... How far are you willing to go to protect you and Kokoro and the others?"

"What does it mean?"

"Answer me this question first,"

"...As long as it doesn't exceed my bottom line or the price I can't afford, I'm willing to do it for them."

After a moment's silence, Ozawa Misaki couldn't help but recall every day she spent with Kokoro and the others. She sighed and spoke slowly, but when she was about to continue asking questions, Charlotte's next words made her stunned.

"So, are you willing to kill for them?"

Chapter 160 Gunshot

"……What did you say?"

Misaki was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She opened her eyes wide in confusion and looked at Charlotte incomprehensibly, while the latter's expression remained calm, as if what she had just said was just a trivial matter.

"I know you're surprised, but I'm not kidding. I need your help now, and your actions can keep everything going."

"No, even if you say so... it's a bit strange to suddenly ask me to kill someone. Putting aside the reasons for doing so, I've never even killed a chicken before, and I don't even know how to use a weapon. Do you think I can do it?"

Misaki looked at her in disbelief, while Charlotte sighed.

"If possible, I don't want to trouble you, but I'm afraid you're the only one who can do it now. Ushigome Yuri died unexpectedly in the Dreamland, and I can't find anyone else."

"But...why kill someone? Isn't it illegal? Isn't there any other choice?"

"You should already know that the law is only used to deceive the public. For forces like us, the law is nothing."

Charlotte shrugged.

"As for why they killed people, it's because one of the committee members has already told the truth to Ooko Rimi and the others... and they are involved with a terrifying Thousand-Faced God. Now they are planning to drag Kokoro and the others into this, and bring the Genmaki family to the attention of that being."

"Misaki, I know it's hard for you to accept this, but if you don't do something, then Kokoro and the others will be in danger. You know her character, she will definitely rush in without hesitation. Even though the Genmaki family is very powerful, they can't absolutely guarantee her safety in this regard... Do you want them to get into trouble because of this?"

"Of course I don't want to...but...this is murder. I don't know what to do at all. I can't do it at all..."

Misaki began to tremble. She subconsciously looked at Kokoro and the others. Kokoro, who had not heard the conversation, smiled encouragingly and nodded at her vigorously, which made Misaki even more painful.

"You can do it. The people in Dahu Lishi are not wary of you. As long as you catch them by surprise, you can kill them all."

Charlotte walked up to her and spoke calmly and softly,

"They are indeed familiar with you, but are they more important to you than your teammates? I know it's difficult for you to make a decision, but sometimes we have to make a decision."

"Do not……"

Misaki fell into confusion, and at the same time, although Kanon couldn't hear the conversation, she began to notice something wrong from her expression. She wanted to say something to Kokoro worriedly, but the next moment she was hit hard on the back of her head and instantly lost consciousness.

"Huayin..."

Genjumaki Xin hurriedly supported her, and at the same time, an extraordinarily fast figure instantly passed by Seta Kaoru and Kitazawa Ikumi, causing them to lose consciousness and fall to the ground.

"Protect Miss Heart!"

The men in black hiding around immediately appeared and raised their guns, but the figure suddenly stopped at this moment. The girl raised her hands with a smile, as if surrendering.

"Okay, calm down, everyone. I don't mean to hurt your lady. I just want to recommend myself.

That's it. "

"recommend?"

The man in black sneered.

"You attacked the young lady's friend, and you call that a recommendation? Who sent you?"

"Well, I just saw the job advertisement of the Sanyuan family."

Aya tilted her head slightly to signal Charlotte, and the men in black frowned slightly and turned their gaze towards her. They did not put down their guns, and at this time, the butlers of the Sanyuan family also came out from various hidden corners, holding weapons and staring at them vigilantly.

"Don't get me wrong, her actions weren't my instructions. Although I've read her profile, I haven't met her many times."

Charlotte explained calmly and softly, glancing at Kanon and the others who were unconscious, then raised an eyebrow and looked at Aya who was still smiling.

"Aya Marsh, a student at the University of Michigan, do you know what you just did? You attacked the eldest daughter of the Xianjuan family. Generally speaking, the only outcome of doing this is death."

"But you just happen to need me now, don't you?"

Aya shrugged, her tone relaxed.

"I didn't do anything harsh to Miss Xin's friend. Even though she knows all this, given her personality, she'll always be looking for any abnormalities in Miss Oze. I don't think you can keep it a secret for much longer."

"Besides, what's more important now is to kill Ooko Satoshi and the others. The men in black can't act because of Miss Kokoro, and the Mizono family can't act rashly because they have members of the committee among them. So many troubles naturally need someone who can solve them. Ushigome Yuri is dead, and I'm more than happy to take her place."

"So this is your way of proving it? I have to say it's quite bold."

Charlotte sneered.

"Since you're taking such a big risk, what do you want? The position of president of the Michigan University Student Union? It happens to be vacant right now. If you want it, I can give it to you."

"No, I just hope that the Sanyuan family can help me kill Roger Marsh, nothing else."

Aya whispered her request, and Charlotte nodded casually.

"This is already part of our plan. I can promise you."

Then she sighed as she remembered something, and turned to look at Misaki, who was still a little confused.

"I'm sorry, Misaki-san. I didn't expect someone to suddenly appear and disrupt everything... But don't worry about it. Now she is here to act. She is not Kokoro's friend, so she will probably die regardless of success or failure, but she obviously doesn't care about this."

"Please help me calm her down. She's definitely trying to stop us now. I think you can calm her down."

"Charlie, what's going on?"

As expected, as soon as Charlotte finished speaking, Xian Juanxin's confused voice rang out. She didn't care about the tense confrontation between the two groups and ran to Charlotte, holding her hand in confusion.

"You...why do you all look so serious? And what did you just say? Do you want to hurt others? Why is that?"

"To keep you from getting into danger,"

Charlotte sighed.

"Xin, I can't explain it to you right away, but even your family's men in black have tacitly agreed to my arrangements. After all, they don't want you to know this... But these plans are no longer possible. So at least stay here and wait for us to resolve this problem."

"Are the troubles you want to solve my classmates? Do you want them to be like Satomi, unable to smile anymore and forced to lie under cold stones?"

Xian Juanxin frowned, and as she spoke, she increased her strength, making it impossible for Charlotte to break free.

"This is wrong, Charlie. We shouldn't do this. If they want to do something bad, why don't we just make them smile? We can't hurt them."

"They've attracted the attention of the Thousand-Faced God, which is already a problem in itself. We can only kill them... Alas, there's no point in me continuing to talk to you."

Charlotte shook her head and winked at Aya, who nodded knowingly and turned to leave. The men in black pursed their lips, ready to ignore this, but Xian Juanxin, noticing this, quickly raised her voice.

"Men in black, catch her! Don't let her leave!"

"...Yes, young lady."

After hesitating for a moment, the men in black blocked Aya's way, and she smiled and shrugged.

"Having an incredibly innocent young lady is a real headache, isn't it? Honestly, I really sympathize with you guys."

The man in black said nothing as he slowly surrounded her, and Aya shook her head, obviously not intending to surrender.

"Heart……"

Misaki looked at everything in front of her, her mind in a mess. She hesitated and spoke slowly, but she had no idea what to do.

What should she do? Should she persuade Xin to stop? But what reason should she use? After all, that person was going to kill Rishi and the others. Should she support Xin? But if what Charlotte said was true...

"boom,"

A gunshot interrupted her thoughts. Misaki reacted and subconsciously threw her heart to the ground. She anxiously checked her condition, her voice trembling with fear.

"Xin! Are you okay?! Is it hurting anywhere? Tell me quickly!"

"Misaki..."

Genmaki Xin stared at her blankly, making Misaki more worried and panicked. Just as she put aside other concerns and prepared to undress Xin to check her body, a drop of blood suddenly dripped onto Xin's chest, staining the clean school uniform.

...The blood dripped on it?

Misaki was stunned for a moment. She realized something and slowly lowered her head. She saw that her chest was stained red with blood. She could vaguely see the bullet holes piercing through her scarlet school uniform. The pain finally reached her senses at this moment.

Ah, it turned out that I was shot. Fortunately, it wasn't Xin or the others...

Misaki couldn't help but smile in relief subconsciously, and then darkness took away her consciousness. She fell heavily into Xin's arms, and the latter looked at her blankly, still not reacting.

"...Misaki?"

Genmaki Kokoro was completely oblivious to the noise and chaos around her. She just stared at Misaki's pale face in confusion, feeling the scarlet warmth emanating from her. At that moment, she discovered that the world she was familiar with was slowly shattering, and in an instant it became something she completely didn't understand.

...Why is this happening?

Chapter 161 Escape

"Feel sorry,"

Watching Misaki slowly fall down in the sniper scope, Shirasagi Chisei sighed with some complexity and said something to her softly.

She didn't want to do this, but this was related to the Thousand-Faced God. If the Genjumaki family was involved, the situation would become even more difficult to handle... and she didn't want Xun to follow the reckless Genjumaki Shin into danger.

Unfortunately, although Xun would show her unique soft side in front of her, it did not mean that she would listen to her in everything. She valued her friends, and even if Xianjuanxin's ideas were extremely naive, she would still follow her... So she needed to prevent Xianjuanxin from doing whatever she wanted, which should also allow her to learn the horror and reality of this world.

She didn't aim at the heart. With Charlotte, who was good at magic, Ozawa Misaki would not die. She would just lie in the hospital.

For a while... Of course, this wouldn't change her despicable behavior. If Xun knew about it, she would definitely hate her.

Bai Lu Qiansheng smiled self-deprecatingly. After confirming that Aya had left in the chaos, she raised her hand to remove the mental shackles of the unconscious man in black next to her, quickly left the commanding heights, put on a cloak, and went into the dark alley.

But even though she was moving at the fastest speed, the sounds of sirens and the movements of men in black soon filled her ears. The power of the Xianjuan family was so huge that even with her ability to catch them by surprise, it was impossible for her to escape the encirclement.

"You have the ability to shoot at Xian Juanxin's friends, but you didn't make thorough evacuation plans?"

"Who?!"

Just when Bai Lu Qiansheng wanted to sigh, a female voice suddenly rang out. She subconsciously raised her gun and aimed it there, but the next moment her arm was hit hard by an attack from behind. The pain made her almost drop the gun. She gritted her teeth and quickly pulled out the dagger at her waist and stabbed back.

"The reaction speed is okay,"

However, the attacker had anticipated her reaction. When the dagger was halfway through, her wrist was grabbed. The sudden increase in force forced Bai Lu Qian Sheng to release her weapon. Then the attacker suddenly pressed her against the wall. Even if she wanted to use her gun, her hands were firmly pinned down and she could not move.

"Hush, you should know what will happen if you shoot now, right? The eldest daughter of the Bailu family? Do you want to commit suicide?"

The calm voice made Qiansheng pause for a moment. She quickly realized that the attacker was probably not from the Xianjuan family. She breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly tried to speak.

"What do you want? Money? Or power and status? As long as you can take me away from here..."

"If I want these, wouldn't it be better to just hand you over to those people?"

The woman sneered, and Qiansheng pursed his lips and tried to peek at her face. When he saw the canine mask under the dim light, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Are you a hunter from the committee?"

"Well, but I didn't come to you for business. I came to ask about someone's whereabouts."

The hunter nodded slightly.

"You are the eldest daughter of the Bailu family, and Sanjiao Chuhua is your cousin. Do you know where she is now?"

"Why are you looking for her?"

"Heh, honestly, I don't mind small talk, but do you really want to do this?"
