Give the child a little shock to the world view

This one only had facial damage, and the remaining bones mixed with minced meat or only the upper body was left in more curious looks.

As the road stretched, the dirt under my feet seemed to have turned into a mixture of meat and fat left after the explosion. The soles of my shoes made a squeaking sound, and it was difficult to move forward.

The sky had turned a deep dark red at some point, the stone tablets became increasingly broken and haphazard, the records of time became increasingly chaotic, until later on, there were no more stone tablets, just countless corpses piled together, the blood and flowing viscera emitting a strong smell, the white hair mixed with the precipitate turning into a chaotic pile of straw, and the same bright golden eyes staring blankly at the sky.

The colors of the sky and the earth blended together, the sky was bleeding, and the earth was becoming darker red. There was no sun or moon here, so it was naturally impossible to judge the time.

Mayumi Haga was everywhere in sight.

The little bear was walking with difficulty in a place where the road conditions were too dangerous for her. She didn't know what she stepped on, she stumbled, and fell into the cold embrace.

She quickly got up and took a look. It was just a broken arm, inserted diagonally into the pile of flesh, but it was well positioned in a soothing posture. The little bear had just fallen into this palm.

She took a deep breath, and her first reaction was a little fear. After all, she had never come into contact with a human corpse in this form... But she also felt that the outstretched hand was a little lonely, so she hugged its thumb a little sadly.

Shanshan Lihua looked at it and couldn't help but grab the little bear and hold it in her arms. After all, as the road extended, it became more and more difficult for the little bear, a monster who was only ten centimeters tall, to move forward. In this space, their magic would all be suppressed. Even a powerful monster would be just a ten-centimeter-tall doll that couldn't move on its own.

She grabbed the little bear, looked at his behavior, and combined with her knowledge of the monsters in Miracle City in recent years, she deduced that the little bear should not be too old.

She felt pity and tried to cover the little bear's eyes with her hands, but the little bear opened his eyes himself.

Shanshan Lihua was stunned, then realized that he had taken it for granted.

"...It's true that everyone here is Mayumi." Tohno Hitomi was very sad, "But where is the Mayumi we are looking for?"

It is not the Mayumi Haga who had died countless times in battles in the past, but the current Mayumi Haga whom they want to find and bring out.

The corpses here are indeed all Mayumi Haga, but the dead are definitely not what they are looking for.

It should be at the end of the road.

The world became smaller. After Mayumi Haga did everything she could to fight, and after a disaster broke out, the originally broad and colorful world became monotonous, dull, distorted and deformed.

Most of the original colors disappeared, leaving only the color of death.

The original forest had lost all its leaves, leaving countless swaying bodies hanging there.

The original wind was stagnant, and the scent of Mayumi Haga in the air almost solidified, like the smell of oil stuck on hair.

The world stopped turning, and Mayumi Haga's spiritual space was filled with countless selves, countless deaths and countless failures.

But the three of them still found some shallow footprints.

The three of them could almost see the following scene in front of them:

Walking on the road paved with blood and flesh, one step deep and one step shallow, a man is moving forward slowly and steadily.

Her body peeled off layer by layer, like a melted wax figure, leaving only the flickering wick still glowing.

The wick could not burn out due to [Spiritual Protection], and with the blessing of [Keep Moving Forward], she could not stop.

And now, after the mental protection had worn off, the wick burned to the bottom almost in one breath.

The footprints of the only living Mayumi Haga lead to the abyss.

The three of them walked for such a long time before they realized that this was a downhill road. Tissue fluid and blood are also liquids. When they reach a certain mass, they flow along the terrain and gradually accumulate to form a huge blood lake.

They finally found the real Mayumi Haga.

The black-haired girl sat by the lake, staring at the lake in a daze.

She was not wearing a guardian suit, nor the casual clothes she often wore in modern times. Instead, she was wearing the black casual clothes she wore when she was in the Far East. She lowered her head and stared at the lake that was so deep that it was pitch black to the bottom.

She held her chin with her hand, not sure whether she was in a trance or thinking. There was a small rope tied around her wrist, and at the end of the bracelet was a tiny feather.

"Mayumi!" Suddenly, Mayumi Haga heard a call from not far away.

She turned around, with a look of resistance that no one had expected. She pursed her lips tightly, and her black eyes were full of strangeness.

At the same time, countless eyes fell on the three people who rashly entered this area.

All Mayumi Haga... or rather all eyes were turned to her. The bright golden eyes appeared creepy under the deep sky.

The next second, the surging tide of blood and flesh washed the three people away.

Chapter 154 You Can Never Go Home Again

"Mayumi!"

--who?

"……real……!"

——Is anyone calling my name?

Mayumi Hanega vaguely heard someone calling her. She looked back as if she knew something, but what she saw was the bright and warm candlelight.

"You seem to be in a trance." Yuga Junko, who was sitting opposite her, laughed and tapped her head with the book in her hand. "What are you thinking about, little feather?"

It was so strange. Mayumi Hanega was a little dazed. She always felt that the scene in front of her was harmonious but also a little indescribable.

Her mother was sitting in the candlelight reading a book, and she was sitting nearby flipping through another book, enjoying this rare good time.

...It's strange. I have always been with my mother, so why do I feel like I haven't seen this scene for a long time?

Just as Mayumi Hanega began to waver, the strange call that had disappeared from her ears rang again. The sense of incongruity became more and more intense, and she frowned.

Never mind, or maybe it's just tinnitus.

She turned her gaze to Junko Yuga, whose concerned eyes were always on her.

"What's wrong?" her mother asked her, looking worried. "You look unhappy, Mayumi."

Mayumi Yuga answered subconsciously: "I'm not unhappy..."

In fact, she was extremely happy to be able to spend some quiet time with Junko Haga.

But Junko Yuga could tell her abnormality at a glance. She put down the book in her hand and sighed slightly: "You look very tired."

Mayumi Haga wanted to argue, saying that she had never left the room and had not done anything today, so how could she be tired... But when she raised her hand, she found something was wrong.

Her hands were covered with scars that had not scabbed over for a long time and were still bleeding. She was not wearing the clothes her mother had made for her when she was in the Far East, but a torn and rough armor and a guardian suit covered in dust and sand.

She stood by the bed, her steps from the doorway were covered in mud. Her breathing was disordered and her hair was uneven in length because she had done it herself with a knife.

Mayumi Haga hurriedly wiped her sweaty and bloody face, and subconsciously took a step back under her mother's gaze.

She didn't mean to dirty this corner of memories...

Maybe the mother will feel disappointed.

After all, Mayumi Hanega was never a particularly outstanding child. She was not such a handsome guardian. She struggled to make a mess and returned to her mother who had high hopes for her. She just felt very ashamed at the moment.

Sure enough, my mother looked surprised.

But she did not show her disappointment in her as Mayumi Haga expected.

Junko Yuga just waved at her, just like before: "Come here, little feather."

"..." The disheveled white-haired guardian hesitated for a moment, but still walked over. His steps were heavy, and he looked a little afraid.

As Mayumi Haga approached, Junko Haga, who was sitting on the bed, found that she actually needed to look up at her child. She was surprised and relieved: "You have grown so big."

Mayumi Haga lowered her eyes.

"You are so tall and beautiful," said Junko Yuga, "You are much taller than me. Is it because of the nutrition you received from Urzana?"

"...Yeah." Mayumi Hanega answered briefly.

"Have you been exercising well, too?"

"Ah."

“Have you traveled a lot?”

"Have."

"Did you have fun?"

"good."

Mayumi Haga answered her mother's questions in a serious manner, and the distance between them was shortened unknowingly until Junko Haga was able to reach out and hug her.

Looking at her mother's open arms, Mayumi Hanega felt a little embarrassed. She was so old and still needed to be hugged like this... But she still bent down and was hugged by her slender mother.

The mother hugged her and asked, "Are you tired yet?"

Not tired.

As a guardian, Mayumi Haga's physical strength is indeed almost unlimited. She rarely feels physically tired. Generally speaking, asking her this question will only result in a negative answer.

But this time, something overwhelmed her. In such an atmosphere, she couldn't say anything against her will.

She buried her face in her mother's shoulder. The bloodstains were very obvious on her white clothes, but she just wanted to rub them.

Then he replied in a muffled voice: "I am very tired, Mom."

At this moment, all the strength in her body seemed to disappear in these words. She relaxed her body and leaned on the long-lost embrace, closed her eyes, breathed slowly and relaxed.

Junko Yuga's voice came from above, very soft, and seemed far away in the sky: "Are you going to rest, little feather?"

"I want to rest." Mayumi Hanega's voice was a little buzzing, "Just let me stay here, I don't want to go any further."

Junko Yuga said, "What about your friends outside?"

friend……

Mayumi Hanega paused.

"They're waiting outside the door for you to come back. Are you sure you want to stay here with me?"

Mayumi Haga said: "If they are friends, they shouldn't bother me."

"Do you really think they're trying to pull you back into your duties?"

"…Subjectively, that's not the case." Mayumi Haga was very honest.

She knew that the people she met in the new world came only for her, but she didn't think she was of any value to them that was worth the risk.

Maybe it's just the overflowing sympathy of the people in this world. Because she's a magical girl, they'll save anyone.

Mayumi Haga thought.

However, Junko Yuga gave an apologetic smile: "You can't come to me yet, little feather."

"Why?" Mayumi Hanega asked, pursing her lips in resistance.

"Look, you have not eaten well, traveled, found music you like, or received love from others since you came to the new world." Junko Yuga said, "If you come to me now, you will never have the chance to get these."

Mayumi Haga pleaded, “I don’t want those things.”

"But you are not a complete person now, and you can't return to Changhe." Junko Yuga revealed Mayumi Yuga's true nature. After she became a guardian, the missing part prevented her from coming to Junko Yuga's side forever. "Have you forgotten what you look like now?"

"Then..." Mayumi Hanega was stunned. She stood up suddenly, only to find that black dragon scales were growing wildly on her body and falling off continuously.

She realized the biggest side effect of the forbidden technique.

The human heart can never be restored, which means that she can never die as a human being, and the souls of her relatives are devoured by the disaster and cannot be reunited. Mayumi Haga can only repeat these pains endlessly and wander in the sky.

She could never go home again.

Chapter 155: Who’s outside the door?

As the last sentence fell, Mayumi Hanega suddenly woke up from her false memories. It was as if a basin of cold water was poured on her head and she shuddered.

When I came to my senses, I was the only one standing in the empty room.

She was a little panicked, looking around, and found that the home that she remembered was a little shabby but always clean and warm, now only had a shabby and shaking bed and windows. There was a dark figure deeply imprinted on the bed, and Junko Yuga, who had been sitting here before, was gone.

The originally bright and warm light was swallowed up by the silent darkness, leaving only a dim lamp in the room, and Mayumi Haga's shadow swayed in the candlelight.

It was pitch black outside, and not even the wind could get in through the broken window.

The voices of others calling her, which she had originally been able to hear, had now disappeared.

Mayumi Haga knew what this meant.

As the price for using forbidden techniques, her soul will be frozen here.

The Junko Yuga she saw before was just an illusion.

After all, the real Junko Yuga, her mother, had returned to Changhe many years ago. She even saw the second life of that strange yet familiar soul, greeted it and then left.

And now, the river of life has been completely swallowed up by the disaster, and the soul that was once named "Junko Hanega" has also been swallowed up.
