mygo, but Cthulhu

Her tender body, however, was like a hammer, slamming away the bombardment of magic without even a scratch on her body. Zhijiang sighed and took out his phone to send a message. At the same time, he calmly glanced at the ferocious green shadow that faintly revealed Shanan's face.

"Green Moon, why are you chasing us instead of trying to rescue your master? I don't remember ever offending you."

"Stop pretending. The Lord's presence is nearby. What other excuse could you have for your activities here? Even if you're innocent, I won't let you spread the news."

Lu Yue sneered, and the next second the alley was suddenly shrouded in a deep dark green. Zhi Jiang raised an eyebrow and pulled the others to quickly hide. While dodging the chaotic green light, their mobile phones were precisely destroyed, and their only means of communication disappeared.

"Ah, now even demons know the need to block information. Is it really necessary to keep up with the times?"

Zhijiang complained helplessly, and after thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and cast a spell on Lu Yue again. The latter bounced it back casually, but unexpectedly found that this action directly opened a blurry door in front of them.

"Is this the portal that locked onto that woman's location? You used my power to track back the Lord's mark? How did you do it?!"

"A little trick. Since you're so relentless in pursuing us, let's go find the person your Lord has his eye on."

Zhijiang smiled and waved her hand gently, pulling Rimi and the others into the portal. Lu Yue angrily controlled the dazed Sanan to rush in as well. At this time, Sa Ling, who was desperately chasing after her, also saw her young back and desperately reached out her hand.

"Sanan, no! Come back, please, come back!"

Although she heard her voice, Sanan, who had lost control of her body, couldn't even turn back. Even if Sha Ling ran desperately, it was still too late. She could only watch her rush into the unknown door, and then the portal disappeared right before her eyes.

"No! Sanan! Sanan!"

Sha Ling screamed and wailed, losing all her strength and falling heavily to the ground. The pain and sadness made it impossible for her to get up for a while, and she could only tremble and sob.

"Saaya...are you okay?"

Mizukari Ran who had also caught up with her quickly helped her up, and Sa Ling reached out to the direction of the portal with tears in her eyes, grabbed Ran's hand and begged desperately,

"Lan, I saw Sana run into a blurry door, and then the door disappeared. You know about this kind of thing, where did she go?! How can we find her?!"

"That might be a portal... If we can trace it, we might be able to open it again, but my family's magic isn't very proficient in that area..."

Mizukuri was in a dilemma for a moment. She hesitated and didn't know how to comfort Saaya. At this moment, she saw a Kurata Mashiro with the number 1 on his forehead walking out of the corner. After realizing that this should be a clone, she frowned and instantly condensed the spell. All the anger that had nowhere to vent finally found a breakthrough.

"Damn clone! As a subordinate of the culprit, how dare you show up in front of us so brazenly?!"

As she roared, the flesh and blood vines drilled through the concrete ground in an instant and pounced on No. 1. The latter was somewhat surprised and instinctively raised his hand to release the shield. After defending against the attack, the vines transformed into sharp blades and prepared to attack again, but the next moment they were firmly grasped by a hand.

"Tear,"

The tough flesh was easily crushed by the seemingly fragile palm. Meishulan was stunned for a moment, and then Chihaya Aine came out from the corner, gently brushed off the debris on her hands, and looked at her calmly.

"Why did you do it so suddenly?"

"How dare you ask... Don't you know? It's because of these Kurata Mashiro clones that Saaya's mother got such a serious illness and so many tragedies happened... All of this is their fault!"

Mei Zhulan gritted her teeth and pointed at No. 1, who smiled calmly.

"I think you should take me and my other sisters

I'm confused, miss, I've never done anything like this, and I've long since stopped taking orders from my mother."

"Yes, at least we can confirm that what she said is true, so please calm down for a while, Miss Mizuki."

Toyokawa Shoko spoke softly and stepped forward, glancing at the place where the portal disappeared.

"Besides, you seem to be in urgent need of opening this door, and my power can do just that. There's no need for us to clash, right?"

Chapter 168 Nightmare

"No, no, don't come over here... don't..."

Countless chaotic and terrifying memories surged in Kurata Mashiro's mind. She trembled and sobbed, trying desperately to forget them, but she couldn't do it.

They devoured and fought each other because of hunger, wailed and cried because of pain, and committed suicide and went mad because of despair. Countless of themselves overlapped and flashed before her eyes, and different numbers changed rapidly.

Mashiro Kurata could no longer tell where she was. She could only cry and scream instinctively, but at the same time she was still surrounded by those bloody figures and pushed into the abyss.

"Ahhhh!"

Mashiro fell heavily to the ground, her mind so confused that she could not make sense. She curled up tremblingly and it was unknown how long it took before she could barely get up from the ground. When she saw the strange environment around her, she couldn't help but be stunned.

This place seemed to be inside the body of some huge insect, with a black membrane swirling around it. The rotten smell made Mashiro feel nauseous and made her more panicked.

"Where exactly is this place?"

Why was she here? Shouldn't she be in the Moon Forest? Shouldn't she be with Tsukushi and the others? What on earth was going on...

"True white,"

Just when Mashiro was in a state of confusion, a vague voice suddenly came from the depths ahead. Although she couldn't distinguish it, the voice sounded strangely familiar to her.

"Who are you? Why am I here?"

"Come here, Mashiro, the time is almost up."

"……What do you mean?"

Mashiro still couldn't understand, but there was no more sound in front. Logically, she should have avoided getting close to such suspicious sounds... But just as Mashiro took a step back, she suddenly felt an inexplicable hesitation.

Something indescribable gradually awakened in her mind, forcing her to continue moving forward irresistibly. She walked through a disgusting passage of insect biomass and saw a group of girls who looked exactly like her, piled on the road in a bloody mess... Their deaths varied, but without exception, they all stared at her, their eyes filled with desire and jealousy that made Mashiro tremble.

"Ah, it's the real one."

The next moment, they spoke slowly and tremblingly. Even though their shattered bodies were about to collapse just by squeezing out sounds, they didn't care about their own pain. They tried their best to support themselves and desperately reached out to Mashiro.

"Please, take us away... We don't want to stay here any longer. If you can't do it, then kill us..."

"I, I can't help you at all..."

Mashiro tried her best to suppress her panic. All the experience she had accumulated in the past was telling her to escape from it all, but something else still guided her to move forward and overcome her wailing selves.

...She had a hunch that this inexplicable impulse must be related to her own violent state. She was not just an ordinary person, perhaps the same as Qi Shen... or perhaps even worse than that.

Mashiro couldn't make a decision yet, but hesitation was already an agreement to that impulse, which happily pulled her forward. Those familiar faces covered in blood were filled with twisted enthusiasm and hatred, and Mashiro's footsteps stepped on them without hesitation, crushing the last of their broken limbs.

"Tear,"

The sound of flesh being crushed and squashed was indescribable. Mashiro thought she would cringe, but she unexpectedly discovered that the current situation did not trigger more fear. Instead, the fear and hesitation in her heart were assimilated by that impulse... It was a familiar feeling. Every time she saw those images with excitement, she would have this feeling, like a feeling of rebirth like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

"Mashiro, keep moving forward, don't hesitate."

The clearer voice continued to ring out, and Mashiro subconsciously followed her words and stepped on herself as she walked forward. Those "Kurata Mashiro" were trampled by her and their last bit of life was taken away, but what appeared on their faces in the end was happiness that Mashiro could not understand.

At the same time, the numbers on their foreheads faded rapidly and turned into floating points of light. They merged into Mashiro's body and illuminated the road ahead of her, allowing her to see the increasingly deep and twisted insect membrane.

Moving forward, moving forward, Mashiro should have felt hesitant, but that feeling gradually disappeared. She was enveloped by an inexplicable sense of ease, and the countless images in her mind gradually melted away until she finally tore open a fragile membrane. As the rotten mucus flowed, she was stunned for a moment by the situation before her.

The person in front of him was still herself, except that there was no number on her forehead. She was sleeping at this moment. Her upper body was peaceful and beautiful beyond this strange space, while her lower body was connected to the corpse of the strange creature before... and there was no trace of rough splicing, as if she was a white flower growing out of a rotten swamp.

"This is……"

Mashiro trembled. For some reason, when she saw herself in front of her, she suddenly felt inexplicable jealousy and hatred. This twisted emotion was exactly the same as the look those broken "Mashiro" gave her, but she had no idea why she had such a reaction.

She hesitated for a moment and slowly raised her hand towards herself, but just as her fingertips were about to touch her fair face, another hand suddenly grasped it.

"Don't be so hasty. It's not the right time to face her... You're not ready yet."

A calm voice slowly sounded. Mashiro turned around in confusion and saw another version of herself had appeared beside her without her knowing when. There was a number 1 on her forehead, and this inexplicably made Mashiro feel at ease. She subconsciously spoke without too much caution in her tone.

"who are you?"

"Ah, you would ask this question. It seems that you are still immersed in fantasy."

No. 1 was stunned for a moment when he heard her words, then smiled with a complicated expression.

"So, who do you think I am?"

"You...you are another me? Really?"

Mashiro asked hesitantly in a low voice, while No. 1 nodded and then slowly shook his head.

"Well, strictly speaking, I'm a clone of you, the one with the least flaws besides you. Because of this advantage, I found the opportunity to escape from that hopeless place... and now, I'm here to fulfill the agreement we made."

"Promise?"

"Yes, although you no longer remember, I still remember that we once agreed that I would guide you there at the right time. Although I really want you to continue to indulge yourself...but that space is about to be destroyed. You are no longer qualified to dream, Mashiro."

No. 1 smiled, then hugged Mashiro's body and whispered in her ear,

"Come on, this is your fate you can't deny. Don't try to escape, or everything you care about will collapse when your dreams are shattered...including your friends."

When a butterfly landed on her nose, Mashiro suddenly opened her eyes. She stood up subconsciously in panic, and the butterfly was startled and flew away quickly, leaving Mashiro staring at the ground in a daze.

Those terrifyingly real scenes seemed to be still before her eyes. Mashiro was stunned for a long time before realizing that she seemed to have just had a nightmare... But was it really just a dream?

...No, it's definitely not that simple. This can't be just a dream. It's impossible for humans to dream of things they have never imagined... Those terrible things are beyond her cognition and can't be just dreams.

"If I don't go, everything I care about will be destroyed... But where should I go?"

Mashiro covered her head in pain. Her thoughts seemed to have turned into an empty butterfly. There was nothing but confusion and she was unable to think of any effective solution.

"Mashiro? Are you okay?"

But at the same time, Tsukushi also walked into the room. She noticed the abnormality in Mashiro's expression and asked with concern. Mashiro was silent and could only force a smile.

"I'm fine... Tsukushi, where are the others?"

"...Nana is in the process of withdrawing from school, and Ruwei and Touko are accompanying her."

After a moment of silence, Tsukushi tried to suppress her sadness and spoke softly. Mashiro was stunned for a moment and sighed. She still couldn't make her thoughts more stable, but she had given up trying now.

That inexplicable impulse did not fade away with the dream, but became clearer. With its help, the hesitation that often accompanied Mashiro disappeared, and was replaced by a direct and reckless attitude. She shook her head, stood up and walked out the door.

"Nanafumi has done so much for Tsuki no Mori, she doesn't deserve this unfair sentence... I'm going to talk to the chairman."

"Eh? Mashiro, wait a minute!"

Her behavior was completely different from usual, so Tsukushi was not able to react for a moment. She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and quickly caught up with Mashiro, trying to persuade her in a panic.

"Mashiro, I feel the same way as you do, but Ruwei has already expressed her objection, but the chairman is still determined to maintain his decision. I don't think you can do anything..."

"I should at least try,"

Mashiro pursed his lips, and the firmness in his tone made Tsukushi startled again. After hesitating, he nodded.

"Okay then... I'll go with you."

They hurried to the chairman's office, but before they could knock on the door, Touko opened it first. When she saw them, her originally depressed expression turned into a bit of surprise, and she waved lightly.

"Xiaobai, Tsukushi, you guys are here already? Don't you want to take a break?"

"It's no longer necessary...Touko, is there nothing you can do to change the chairman's decision?"

Mashiro asked calmly, and Touko noticed her strangeness at this moment, but after thinking for a moment, she felt that maybe it was just nervousness, and shook her head helplessly.

"Yeah, I can't do anything about it. That guy was incredibly determined this time, and he even said that aliens can't be in the academy... It's obvious that without Qi Shen's help, there's no way so many people would have survived. He's such a stubborn old man."

"I understand your dissatisfaction, Kiritani-san."

But the next moment, the door suddenly opened, and the chairman looked at Touzi calmly, causing the latter's mouth to twitch.

"But rules are rules. Hiromachi-san carries hidden dangers no matter what. This is a fact you cannot deny. And after everything we've been through, what our school needs most is safety."

She raised her voice, and although Touko looked unhappy, she didn't refute anything in the end. At the same time, Ruwei also walked out of the room. When she saw Mashiro, she paused, pursed her lips and turned to look at the chairman.

"Chairman, do we really need to hold the ceremony so soon? Don't we need to do other work first..."

"No need. The priority right now is to find out where that guy is. The president is still waiting for my report."

The chairman shook his head, and Mashiro also noticed that a mysterious magic circle had been set up in the room, with a white hair that was very familiar to her in the center.

...The moment he saw it clearly for the first time, an inexplicable impulse instantly stirred in his mind, making Mashiro realize that it was the hair of another self, and that the search for this magic circle would probably eventually lock onto himself.

...Will he be expelled from Moon Forest by then? Or will he be killed by the chairman because of his mother?

In a trance, Mashiro couldn't help but think so, and she suddenly noticed the depression and obscurity in Ruwei and Nanami's eyes. They seemed to be anxious about what was happening at the moment... Did they discover something?
