mygo, but Cthulhu

The hunter smiled and tilted his head slightly to indicate the approaching search sounds.

"They'll be here soon. If you tell me quickly, I can get you away safely."

"Take me away first, and I'll tell you."

Although he had no idea of ​​Sanjiao Chuhua's whereabouts, the critical situation made Qiansheng nod without hesitation, while the hunter clicked his tongue.

"How do I know you're not lying to me?"

"Anyway, I'm in your hands now. You don't have to trust me, but like you said, time is running out."

Bai Lu Qian Sheng looked at her calmly, and the hunter sighed after thinking for a moment. She took the sniper rifle from Qian Sheng's hand, turned around and tilted her head towards her.

"Let's go, I know a shortcut."

At this moment, Bailu Qiansheng also understood that she had no choice. She nodded and quickly followed. The hunters seemed to be very familiar with the environment here and quickly bypassed wave after wave of searches. However, the number of people mobilized by the Xianjuan family still far exceeded Qiansheng's imagination. She soon realized that the loopholes in the encirclement were shrinking and they might not be able to escape.

"...There's a dead end ahead, and the encirclement has no loopholes left. Where are you taking me?"

After seeing a shabby sign nearby, Bailu Qiansheng stopped in his tracks with a slight sense of caution, while the hunter shrugged and continued walking forward.

"I have a way. If you don't believe me, you don't have to follow me."

After hesitating for a moment, Qiansheng had no choice but to follow until they reached the end of the alley. She looked at the wall in front of her and couldn't help but sighed, then turned to look at the hunter.

"And then? What do you have in mind?"

"Take my hand,"

The hunter calmly held out his hand to her, causing her to frown.

"Now's not the time for jokes. This wall is at least ten meters high, and you don't have any climbing equipment. You don't think you can just sprint over it, do you?"

"Take my hand, and you'll know."

"...you'd better be sure."

Qiansheng was silent for a moment, then sighed and held her hand. The next moment, she was surprised to find that she and the hunter's body were slowly floating up, rising higher until they passed the wall, and then slowly fell on the other side.

"I didn't expect you could do this kind of magic,"

After landing, Qiansheng looked at the hunter with some surprise, and the latter nodded casually and continued to move forward. With the help of this route that ordinary people could not pass, they successfully bypassed the encirclement. After confirming this, Qiansheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I've fulfilled my promise, now it's your turn to fulfill yours,"

After entering a secret stronghold and closing the door, the hunter turned around and raised his hand to her, while Qiansheng pursed his lips.

"I'm sorry, I don't actually know where Sanjiao Chuhua is right now, but I promise that the Bailu family will do everything in their power to help you find her."

"Ha, I knew you were writing a bad check,"

The hunter didn't seem surprised. She shook her head, thinking it was bad luck, and put the sniper rifle on the table.

"It's such a headache. I took such a big risk to rescue you, but in the end you told me that you didn't know where she was. It was all in vain."

"Can I ask why you're looking for her? Are you her friend?"

"No, I haven't even met her. I was just asked to do this."

"Where is the client now? I don't want to investigate, but the more we know, the more clues we can get..."

"That man is Triangle Zhouci. He is in the cemetery now, but his body is not there."

The hunter interrupted her softly, then took off his mask, which made Bai Lu Qian Sheng startled for a moment.

"Are you... Sato Masuki from the band RAS?"

"Yes, absolutely."

Yimu shrugged, but Qiansheng felt even more confused.

"You're actually a hunter on the committee... but how do you know Triangle Zhouci? Logically, you shouldn't know each other."

"I became a hunter because of him,"

Sato Masuki seemed to recall something, and her expression became a little cold. She turned her head to look at the clock, thought for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice,

"The reasons behind this are a bit complicated, and it also happens to be related to another question I want to ask you. Anyway, this place is relatively safe. Are you interested in listening to me?"

"certainly,"

"Then let me tell you, some of this might be of interest to you."

Chapter 162

"Yes! Today's performance was also a great success, big success!"

Chu? smiled with satisfaction and nodded vigorously, while Pareo also happily offered beef jerky.

"Come on, Master Chu, you must be very tired after the performance, right? Eat something to replenish your energy!"

"Ok, Pareo, you performed very well today. Remember to maintain this level next time."

Chu nodded and took it as usual

Beef jerky, and layer also smiled and whispered,

"Yeah, everyone's been doing really well lately, and the number of fans is increasing, all thanks to diligent practice."

"Of course! Practice is an essential foundation... but you've all been working really hard lately, so you could use a little rest tomorrow."

Chu? He nodded with his hands folded, and Masking also joked in an exaggerated tone after hearing it.

"Wow, that doesn't sound like something Chu would say. Did I hear it wrong?"

"If you keep joking around, I'll cancel your vacation alone! Masking!"

They couldn't help but laugh in this pleasant atmosphere, and Masking was as relaxed as usual... But then, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a sneaky, bloated figure out of the corner of her eye.

@袂~<∞似*%~刘≤⒉↗器≌儿、∴9；∮似+*罢}三′ "Hmm? Is there anyone there?"

"is it?"

The others turned their heads to look, but they could no longer see it. They didn't pay much attention and continued to move forward. Masking seemed a little concerned for some reason but didn't think much about it.

"Oh, I don't remember this thing in my bag."

Back in the lounge, when they were about to leave, Pareo suddenly took out a dirty card from his bag in confusion. The others looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know. But Masking felt inexplicably disgusted when he saw the card for the first time.

"Since you don't know who it belongs to, just throw it away."

She frowned and subconsciously took the card and threw it into the trash can. When she turned around, she suddenly found that Pareo's eyes suddenly became empty for a few seconds, as if his soul had been temporarily drained away.

But before Masking could ask, Pareo came back to her senses. She seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened and became extremely silent... Until she said goodbye and left, Sato Masuki saw that she did not walk in the usual direction, but turned and walked into the alley.

"Pareo?"

She shouted in surprise, but received no response. In desperation, she could only quicken her pace to catch up with her, and finally found that she had walked into a remote and dirty house.

Sato Masuki approached the door with a confused heart, and the disgusting sound coming from inside instantly ignited her anger.

"Master... I'm coming."

"Eh? You're Pareo? This kind of mind control is actually real?! Hahaha, the spell I got from the puppeteer after enduring so much pain is really effective! Come on, Pareo, take off your clothes! I want to enjoy it..."

"Enjoy your mom!"

Sato Masuki kicked the door open in anger, picked up the steel pipe on the ground and rushed in. The stench of garbage made her feel nauseous, and the panicked fat pig next to Pareo with a dull face was obviously the culprit.

Without much thought, Sato Mashiki rushed forward with the steel pipe tightly grasped. The guy raised his hand in panic and seemed to release something, but that only made her mind dizzy for a moment, and what followed was a rage that was further stimulated by the external force.

... Sato Masuki had some vague memories of what happened afterwards. She only remembered that she could no longer stay awake in the midst of this driven rage. She couldn't help but think about what would have happened if she hadn't noticed Pareo's abnormality, and that obvious misery might have made her completely lose her mind.

"Bah, bang, bang,"

It was not until clear applause came into the house that Sato Mashiki stopped swinging the steel pipe, panting. Her consciousness slowly returned, and she gradually found that the house was full of foul-smelling blood and flesh... The piece of minced meat under her feet was almost shapeless and mixed with the garbage on the ground.

"As expected of a drummer, he's really strong."

A man wearing a white mask walked into the room while clapping softly. Masking immediately raised the steel pipe vigilantly, and after glancing at the minced meat on the ground, he shrugged.

"Thank you for helping me with my job. It's a good thing you came before me, otherwise your team would have been killed... Come to think of it, how did you withstand that kind of mental control? Even though his magic ability is poor, it's not something that ordinary people can withstand."

"Mind control? I don't know... When he raised his hand, I suddenly felt dizzy, and then my anger suddenly became uncontrollable..."

Sato Masuki wiped the blood off his face, looked blankly at the corpse on the ground, and after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but sigh.

"...I think I'm going to jail, right? How many years do you think I'll get?"

"I don't know, but you don't have to go to jail if you accept my advice."

The man smiled, took off his mask and held out his hand to her.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm a hunter belonging to the committee, Triangle Shuji. My job is to hunt down people like this guy who accidentally master magic and act recklessly, as well as innocent people who accidentally learn of this."

"From what you've said, your spirit seems exceptionally strong, and the side effect of being immune to mental spells is only emotional instability. This is a real advantage for this job, and I really hope you'll join."

"If I join... I won't have to go to jail?"

"Yes, the police will fully cooperate with us. You will have restrictions and orders that you will have to accept in the future, but you will also have the corresponding rights to continue your band with your friends."

Sankaku Shuji nodded slightly, and even though he said that hunters needed to kill innocent people, Sato Masuki did not hesitate for too long. If she went to jail, she would not be able to stay in RAS anymore.

"Thank you, Mr. Triangle. I'd like to join you."

"That's why I joined the committee, to be able to continue the daily operations of RAS, and also because I didn't want to go to jail for killing a bastard."

After telling this story, Sato Masuki shrugged lightly, his expression filled with nostalgia and complexity.

"After I brought the pareo home, she had no memory of it the next day, except for a slight headache... To be honest, I'm still glad I went along."

"I see. So you're very grateful to Triangle Shuji?"

Qiansheng spoke thoughtfully, and Yimu nodded slightly.

"If it weren't for him, I'd still be operating a sewing machine. I'm not good at that thing. He also taught me a lot of things, from shooting to close combat. He taught me everything he could. Sometimes he would help me with tasks that I couldn't bear to do... I owe him a lot."

At this point, Yimu's expression suddenly became somewhat suppressed and angry.

"He often told me that the thing he couldn't let go of the most was his daughter. Sadly, he was killed by his own daughter in the end... I came to you to inquire about the whereabouts of Sanjiao Chuhua. First, I wanted to repay him for the favor and ensure her safety. Secondly, I wanted to ask Chuhua why she wanted to kill him."

"I thought you would just help him get revenge."

"Heh, he seemed to have made some decision before. He told me in advance that if the one who killed him was Sanjiao Chuhua, I shouldn't do anything... I know this might be part of his plan, but I just don't like owing others, even if it's a dead person."

Yimu sighed, then turned to look at Qiansheng.

"By the way, I have to ask you something. Your Bailu family is the only force that knows mental magic. Do you know anything about this puppeteer?"

"Feel sorry

I don’t know, I don’t have much contact with my family.”

"Then I suggest you contact them next. After all, you just shot Xian Juanxin's friend."

Yimu smiled, then raised his hand to gesture towards the door.

"Okay, since you don't know anything, then just leave here. Remember to tell me when you find Sanjiao Chuhua."

Chapter 163: Terror

Nagasaki Suyo slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she felt was the strong smell of decay and blood. She subconsciously got up from the ground, but found that she was no longer in Tsuki no Mori Academy, but in a strange place that was pitch black.

"……How is this going?"

She was completely unable to comprehend the current situation. She was stunned for a long while before she subconsciously called out softly. But the next moment she realized that the sound was only echoing around her and did not travel very far.

She took a few tentative steps forward hesitantly, then touched the cold wall. After a moment of hesitation, Su Shi hurriedly groped around, but still found only cold stones. After walking around, she still didn't find any exit.

"how so……"

The situation before her made no sense at all. After all, if there were no entrances or exits, how did she get in? Su Shi's past life as a blind person had quickly adapted to the darkness. She kept trying, baffled, but after a while, she finally realized, in despair, that this truly seemed to be a confined space.

"Excuse me, is anyone here? No matter who you are or why you captured me, there's no point in simply locking me up here, is there?"

"..."

Su Shi sighed, looked around and spoke in a deep voice, but there was still only silence in response. She did not receive any reply, just like when she first woke up.

...Time passed by little by little, and in this silent darkness, fear slowly climbed up Su Shi's spine. Although she was used to the darkness, when she was blind in the past, she could always hear the sound of cars on the street, or the singing of birds and the sound of the wind... But here there was no sound except her own.

"Please... I'm just a high school girl. Do I have any value that you need to use? At least let me out first, okay?"

"call out,"

After Su Shi finished saying this, strange patterns suddenly lit up around her without any warning. She was subconsciously surprised by this change, but soon discovered that these patterns seemed to have surrounded her and some kind of spell was being cast.

"Ahhhh!"
