mygo, but Cthulhu

"Excuse me... who are you?"

"Aya Marsh, a student at the University of Michigan,"

The girl introduced them softly with a smile, and Mizukuri stood in front of Saaya with a little caution.

"What do you want from us?"

"I just hope to provide clues,"

Aya shrugged, but the words she uttered next made them unable to ignore.

"You all know why Miss Yamabuki's parents died. The person directly responsible was of course Nagasaki Suyo, and she has now been taken away by the unknown individuals who attacked Tsuki no Mori... Are you interested in knowing her whereabouts?"

"Of course, how can you tell us?"

Mizukari spoke calmly and softly, while Aya just smiled.

"As long as you allow me to do what I'm going to do next."

"whats the matter?"

"They killed Satomi Ohuma and Yuri Ushigome, and they also implicated that Chaos of the Underworld. Miss Mitake, you should understand how terrifying this is, right?"

"...I don't think these high school girls have this ability."

Mei Zhulan frowned and spoke slowly after a moment of silence, while Aya smiled.

"This doesn't depend on their abilities, but rather on the interests of that being. Clearly, Tokyo has seen a lot of things happen lately. Frankly speaking, it's not surprising that this place has attracted His attention. It would be strange if He didn't care."

"Then according to you, even if that being noticed this place, it would be everyone's fault. Why would you kill them to deceive yourself?"

"That's a calm and rational judgment, Ms. Mizuki. Yes, theoretically, that's true, but you should also know that not everyone thinks the same way as you do. Even if there's only a slight possibility, the cost of killing a few girls is enough to make them do it."

Aya smiled.

"I've accepted the commission from the Mizono family, but Ōu Satomi is, after all, Miss Yamabuki's former teammate, and both Miss Ichigaya and you are backed by powerful cults... I'm worried that this operation might lead to my death, so I've come to ask for permission."

"Since you know us so well, you should know that we wouldn't betray Satoshi just because of a clue, right?"

"Yes, that's right. So my inquiry was actually more of a test, or a way to make friends. As long as you can offer enough leverage, I can give up on this and perhaps offer you Kurata Yuu's position... In fact, Miss Yamabuki's mother's brain cancer was also her fault."

"What did you say?"

Sha Ling, who had been silent until now, could not help but tremble when she heard this. She clenched her fists tightly, and the sadness and pain that had been accumulating for a long time suddenly rose up and turned into the source of hatred.

Ever since she saw Takamatsu Touma's face filled with pain and guilt, and discovered that Nagasaki Suyo had unintentionally interrupted the ceremony in order to save her friend, Saaya has been at a loss as to what to do and has been unable to make a decision.

She knew that she should hate them, but she found that she could also understand them. This pain made her unable to make up her mind, and made her not know whether she should agree with Yousaki's extremism, so she could only be confused.

However, the origin of all this is because of her mother's brain cancer. If it weren't for this, her parents would not have to attend the ceremony, and would not have died. Rimi would not have been swallowed by Takamatsu Deng... The source of all this pain is because of her mother's brain cancer, and now someone actually tells her that this is the work of someone?

After her parents died, Sha Ling felt such clear and strong hatred for the first time. She stared at Aya, but the latter just smiled.

"I said, your mother's brain cancer was caused by Kurata Yu. Remember those strange photos of Mashiro? The ones in the photos weren't Mashiro, but her clones... Kurata Yu allowed her to contaminate your mother, which is why she was twisted into a monster."

"That's why she has such an unreasonable illness... But why would she do this?! We've never had any conflict with her, we don't even know her, why would she do this?!"

Saaya raised her voice in excitement and incomprehension, while Aya shook her head slightly.

"I'm not too sure about this. She seems to be trying to disrupt the situation, but she also seems to have discovered some traces on your side, so she wants to test it out."

"trace?"

"As far as I know, not long ago, a dark green phantom moon, invisible to ordinary people, passed over your house. It was one of Seigya's servants, and it seemed to be searching for something. I'm afraid this is why Kurata Yu decided to test you."

"Dark green phantom moon? I remember Shanan dreamed of it once before..."

Sha Ling spoke subconsciously, but halfway through she suddenly realized something and opened her eyes wide. She hurriedly turned around and rushed into the house, praying desperately in her heart while quickly opening Sanan's door, but there was no one on the bed, only a note on the table. The childish handwriting made Sha Ling dizzy.

"Sister, don't worry about me. Uncle Lu Yue told me where the bad guy who took my parents away is. I'll go teach her a lesson and come back soon. Then I can bring my parents back with me, and our family will return to the way it was before!"

Chapter 166 Su Shi’s Situation

"Cough cough cough,"

Su Shi opened her eyes with a painful cough. In front of her was a quietly burning bonfire, and the heat emitted made her tired body feel a little better. However, after seeing "Kurata Mashiro" sitting next to her, she subconsciously sat up quickly, moved her body back cautiously, and spoke tentatively in a low voice.

"Kurata-senpai?"

"I'm not that person, and you'd better not call other people that, they'll get mad."

The girl shook her head, and Su Shi also saw the "87" on her forehead. She was stunned for a moment and then pursed her lips.

"So... what should I call you? I can't just call you Number 87, right?"

"That's fine. I don't care what you call me."

The girl shook her head, then took out a bloody human hand from the bag beside her, causing Su Shi's pupils to shrink suddenly.

"What's this?"

"It's obvious, right? This is the hand of another sister. She's quite powerful. If she hadn't wanted to die, she would be sitting here right now."

No. 87 shrugged, then stuck his hand on a bamboo stick and slowly roasted it over the flame. The disgusting smell made Su Shi almost vomit. Fortunately, she finally suppressed the impulse and managed to squeeze out a voice with trembling hands.

"...Why eat humans? Isn't there any other food here?"

"There's really no other food here. I wanted to ask if you wanted to eat something... but it seems you're not interested."

No. 87 shook his head and looked at her for a while, his expression becoming complicated and full of emotion.

"You're from the Earth? Right?"

"Indeed... So, we are underground now?"

Su Shi sensed the hidden meaning in her words and looked around blankly. In the gloomy environment, there was only the rock wall covered with dried blood, which confirmed her unwilling guess.

"That's right, although I didn't know this place was called underground until I met you."

Number 87 smiled, then shifted her gaze to the gradually roasted human hand. She stared at it for a moment, then suddenly spoke softly,

"I'm sorry, I caught you here last time. I'm afraid this place couldn't get any worse for you, right?"

"What do you mean by last...?"

"Literally, there are many Kurata Mashiro here, but all of them, including me, are copies. The real her lives on the ground, which is where you live."

Number 87 sighed.

"It was my previous self who attacked Moon Forest Academy. She brought you here on my mother's orders, and then died because she cast a spell without regard for the cost... After her death, I was copied again, but she and I are both number 87, so I want to apologize to you."

"Really? But she and you aren't alone... You don't need to apologize to me."

Even though his mind was in a mess, Su Shi subconsciously shook his head, and No. 87's expression became increasingly complicated, with a hint of happiness that Su Shi did not understand.

"But after all, it was me who brought you to this point, so I think I owe you an apology... And you've helped us a lot, too. Without you, we'd probably still be stuck in this despair."

"I helped you? But I haven't done anything yet?"

Su Shi couldn't understand what she said, and No. 87 shrugged and pointed to something not far away. However, Su Shi couldn't see what she was pointing to because she was sitting.

"Don't you know yet? Well, let me tell you. Since you came here, the chrysalis hasn't produced any Kurata Mashiro. Even though our number has been reduced to the standard range, it still hasn't moved. I'm already the last one... Do you know what this means?"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand..."

"This means we'll be able to put an end to all this very soon. Although I don't know exactly what happened, I'm certain that Mother hasn't noticed the current situation yet, and the pollution you brought has already disrupted the production of the butterfly pupae."

No. 87 laughed, his face showing a look of extreme joy, relief and joy.

"The repetition that has been going on for a long time can finally stop, and it's all because of you, so we have to thank you."

"...but I don't know what's going on. I didn't even know I was carrying pollution."

After a moment of silence, Nagasaki Suyo sighed weakly, while No. 87 just shook his head.

"If you're looking for answers from me, you're probably going to be disappointed. I don't know anything other than what I just told you. All I hope for now is that all this is over."

"Okay...but if you really don't care about anything, then why are you waiting here for me to wake up?"

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly thought of a doubt and couldn't help but ask softly, while No. 87 smiled with a complicated look and looked up at the rock wall.

"Well, this might sound a bit childish... but I'm actually quite curious about what life is like on the surface. My main body often sends me some memories, but they're not very clear... Can you give me a brief description?"

"Life on the ground... well, it's a bit complicated. It's not perfect, but it's much better than here."

Nagasaki Suyo thought for a moment, tried to organize her words and slowly began to tell the story. No. 87 was like a child without common sense in front of her. He was often filled with surprise at the things she described. Although he tried his best to imagine, he still couldn't figure out what the ground looked like.

"Wow, that does sound very different from here... Eh, what's fuzzy?"

When she was halfway through listening, No. 87 suddenly smelled a burning smell. She looked around subconsciously and found that the hand had been burnt into a mess. She was shocked and quickly threw it aside.

"Ah, this is terrible. Before she died, that sister asked me to cherish her flesh... Never mind. Everything is over anyway."

No. 87 sighed, then stood up and reached out to Su Shi. She grabbed her hand and climbed up with some difficulty. At this time, Su Shi's eyes also passed over the rock wall and noticed the huge body in the distance.

The lump of flesh looked like the body of a butterfly, black and wriggling, but its size was beyond Su Shi's imagination. Below it was an endless mountain of human skeletons. At this time, several "Kurata Mashiro" were looking up at it, standing there motionless.

"That's the chrysalis. It's the one that produced all the copies. Now it's been damaged by your contamination, and the mother alone can't repair it."

"Boom,"

As No. 87 finished his explanation in a low voice, the ground suddenly shook slightly. Su Shi subconsciously grabbed the rock wall next to her, but the vibration was not strong. Soon, she saw several strange dark pink creatures crawling out from the skeletons. Their limbs were grasping the transparent gems that emitted a faint glow. The special attraction made Su Shi reluctant to look away.

"What are those creatures...?"

"I don't know. I've never seen them before..."

“They are Migos, and this space was created in collaboration with their mother.”

At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind them. Su Shi subconsciously turned around and saw a broken body of "Mashiro" slowly raised its head, and the number on its forehead quickly changed to "1".

"I'm glad to see you're stable, Ms. Nagasaki. I'm number 1."

Chaos Vortex: Part One

Chapter 167: Chasing

My name is Yamabuki Sana. I have a gentle older sister and a slightly naughty older brother. My parents are very kind to us, and I am very happy.

...This was originally how I felt about my life, but for some reason, everything was shattered. My mother fell ill not long ago, and my sister seemed to have found a place where she could be treated...but in the end, she came back alone, covered in blood.

What happened? Will Mom and Dad ever come back? What's going on? I asked my sister, but every time I asked, it only caused her pain, so I didn't dare ask again.

...I want to find my parents back, but I don’t know how to do it. When I fell asleep today, the green moon that appeared in my dream appeared before my eyes again.

"As long as you are willing to do as I say, you can bring your parents back."

That’s what Uncle Midorikawa said, and after I woke up, I saw for the first time the special abilities like those in anime... so I agreed.

"Cough cough cough,"

The young body was trembling due to the continuous running, and Yamabuki Sana began to cough breathlessly, but the special power that soon spread throughout her body soothed her fatigue, allowing her to continue running.

"Uncle Lu Yue...is what you said true? If I just keep running towards this direction, I can find my parents?"

"As long as you keep listening to me,"

A cold voice sounded in her mind, with an extremely calm tone.

"Listen carefully, if most of my power wasn't sealed in the stone statue, and if there weren't so many people in this city who couldn't attract attention, I wouldn't be looking for a kid like you who has nothing but power compatibility."

"But since I've chosen you, it's your honor. As long as you find the woman with the Lord's mark, I can try to inspire the Lord's power. Then, perfectly resurrecting the dead will be a piece of cake. Do you understand?"

"I... don't quite understand, but just be obedient, right?"

"Well, at least you remembered the key points."

Midoritsuki answered casually, and after getting his assurance, Yamabuki Sana ran forward more eagerly. She soon saw a group led by a white-haired sister. She was stunned for a moment when she saw it, gritted her teeth, grabbed the hands of the others, turned around and ran away quickly.

"That woman knows magic. Chase her, kid, and see what she's doing."

As Midorikawa's cold voice gave the order in her mind, Miyashiro Orie couldn't help but sigh at her bad luck. She turned around to look at the green light that was invisible to ordinary people emanating from the little girl, and raised her voice to remind the others who had not yet reacted.

"Run! That's a puppet of Green Moon, Saigya's servant. It's targeting us!"

"Eh? But, that's Sana-chan..."

"Whatever she was before, she's now a tool of the devil. If you miss, you can just go hug her and try."

Zhijiang shrugged at the hesitant Da Hu Li Shi, and ran forward without saying anything else. Out of trust in her, the others subconsciously followed her quickly, and at the same time, childish shouts were heard from behind.

"Sister, can you stop for a moment? Uncle Lu Yue wants to ask you something..."

"Sorry, we don't want to die yet."

Zhijiang waved his hand gently, releasing a magical light that blasted towards Shanan. The latter wanted to stop in fear, but his steps kept accelerating uncontrollably. The green light that suddenly burst out from his body could even be seen by Dahu Lishi and the others.

"boom,"
