mygo, but Cthulhu

"Stop talking, Jingmei... It's all my fault. I was the one who snuck in, but what I saw was so hard to accept..."

The young Tsuzuki Shifune cried because of pain and self-blame, and the old man watched her wailing silently. Kyomei soon fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss. Her father and husband were so angry that they almost wanted to strangle Tsuzuki Shifune to death, but because of her desperate pleading when she was conscious, they could only suppress their anger and send Kyomei to the hospital as quickly as possible.

...Of course they didn't bring Tsuzuki Poetry Ship with them, and she could only pray desperately while running. When her consciousness was heavy with exhaustion, she finally ran to the hospital and saw Jingmei being pushed out of the operating room without breathing.

"Falling so hard during labor is truly fatal. No matter what, you shouldn't argue with a pregnant woman... I'm sorry, I don't mean to blame her, but it's truly unfortunate."

The doctor sighed deeply. Jingmei's family looked at Tsuzuki Shifune with the same cold eyes. Her husband, holding two babies who were lucky enough to be safe, walked over and stared at her with gritted teeth.

"Listen carefully. Because Jingmei kept mentioning you and that damn band's name until the very end, we won't kill you. But from now on, don't even think about going near our house again, and don't tell anyone about our affairs. Got it?"

"..."

Shi Chuan couldn't hear his words at all. She just stared at Jing Mei's pale face, and then felt the world shattering bit by bit.

…she killed her friend,

"Because you were too naive and impulsive at that time,"

The old man sighed softly and spoke to her softly, but she, who belonged to the past, obviously could not hear the old man's voice. She could only immerse herself in painful self-blame and could only feel the heart-wrenching sadness.

"It's truly sad... but I suggest you put aside the past for now."

The next moment, the past scene in front of Tsuzuki Shifune was suddenly torn open, and the figure of Shirasagi No Yoro walked out from behind the curtain. She looked at herself who was still in her infancy at that time and shook her head gently.

"Although this is indeed an unfortunate tragedy, it is not what you expected. You are also suffering from my mother's death. In my opinion, what they said was a bit too much."

"Thank you for the comfort, but I know I'm guilty of my own faults...so what are you doing here?"

"I came to check your situation and tell you something."

Fadai shrugged, then raised his hand and cast a spell, causing a tidal wave of rats to appear around Chuhua and Xiangzi.

"Sanka Hatsuka has already remembered that she killed Rika herself. However, to my surprise, she accepted this very quickly and even killed her own father... It's clear that her mental state has become abnormal to a certain extent."

"Really? But it doesn't look out of control..."

Tsuzuki Shifune was halfway through his words when he suddenly noticed two familiar figures in the scene, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Are they...real?"

"It's impossible to be sure. After all, this is a fragment of the Dream Realm. The power of the Outer Gods and the Old Gods is still clashing. Everything that happens here could be fake. You know this better than I do."

Bailu Fadai shook his head gently,

"Judging from this reverse birth, it's very likely that Xiangzi also saw events from the past. Under the guidance of her pain, Pan's bloodline and Yug's offspring were stimulated together. Coupled with the fact that this is a dreamland, this miracle was created."

"However, the source of this miracle lies in Toyokawa Shoko, who is now being taken away from here by Chuhua. After she leaves, Aunt Saori and Sister Anzi will also disappear... Is there anything you want to do?"

"...Most of my energy is now focused on maintaining stability here, so I'm afraid I can't do anything."

Tsuzuki Shifune was silent and shook her head slightly, and the next moment, another familiar smiling voice suddenly sounded.

"It's okay, Shichuan, I already knew that you have the will but not the ability.

It's within my calculations, and I can help."

Chapter 144 The Most Favored Bride

"Jie Yu...what exactly do you want to do?"

Tsuzuki Shifune sighed deeply and turned to look at his familiar yet unfamiliar friend.

"You created the tragedy just to make Xiangzi suffer enough? So that she would give birth to Xingzi? Your approach seems to have succeeded, but it's just a castle in the air. Their existence still depends on Xiangzi, so it can't be considered a true resurrection at all."

"Then wouldn't it be better if we could just let them truly be resurrected?"

Kurata Yui smiled, and at the same time, Kurata Mashiro's figure suddenly appeared beside her. She was practicing Morfonica's new song with her friends at this time, concentrating and with obvious happiness.

"Look, Shichuan, this is my daughter. Isn't the band she formed similar to Miracle Crimson? Maybe the style is different, but they both share a passion for music... This is a precious thing we've lost so long ago."

"Are you going to involve your daughter in this?"

"She was born to work towards this goal, Shifune. Unlike Saori, I didn't take my pain out on her. I'm also different from Jingmei, who was so focused on pursuing you that she completely ignored her child's safety. I dare say I've given her a very good environment and love... and I just need her to repay me, which is not too much."

Kurata Yuuki smiled, then raised his hand and cast a spell, pulling the bewildered Saori and Anzu closer. In the process, they gradually turned into phantoms and slowly approached Kurata Mashiro in the image.

"Shichuan, you can't imagine how long I've been preparing for this moment. I've been training Mashiro since she was a child. I don't know how many failed products I went through before I finally got her."

"She possesses a truly extraordinary imagination, and this imagination can build a foundation for Saori and Kyoko. They will regain their lives, and with their continued expansion, I can bring Kyomei and the others back as well... A perfect resurrection is something that many great wizards find difficult to achieve, and now we're almost there!"

She smiled excitedly at Tsuzuki Shifune, but the latter just stared at her coldly.

"Even if your daughter is special, she must have her limits. Using her like a consumable will cause her immense pain, and could even lead to her death... Can you really bear it?"

"Why would I be so heartless? Everything now is for the sake of a better past. Everything I do is to restore our miracle, Crimson!"

Kurata Yuuki raised his voice without hesitation, causing Tsuzuki Shifune to sigh.

"Miracle Crimson has been shattered and can never be restored... You're just blindly immersed in memories and have even gone mad. Jie Yu, I can't let you do this. Saori and the others won't be willing to live again at the cost of another innocent life."

"Oh, Shichuan, I already knew your answer. I understand that you have grown old. You are no longer the young girl you were back then."

Jie Yu shook his head slightly, then raised the corner of his mouth.

"I know you're powerful, but do you think I won't prepare a countermeasure? Have you forgotten where your strength comes from? The power of Nodens, the Lord of the Abyss, still lingers here. Guess which Outer God he hates the most?"

As soon as Jie Yu finished speaking, the spell she had prepared long ago was instantly activated. Tsuzuki Shichuan subconsciously launched a defense, but she soon realized that this magic circle would not launch an attack. Its only function was to expand the source of her power to the entire Dreamland fragment, allowing Nodens's power to identify the aura that disgusted Him.

"boom!"

Dazzling thunder erupted instantly, and the power of Nodens, who was originally struggling with the influence of other Outer Gods, suddenly increased. Tsuzuki Shichuan hurriedly tried his best to defend, but the thunder hit the crimson shield and he still felt a pain in his internal organs and a bloody taste in his mouth.

"Don't worry, Shichuan, this will only entangle you and won't cause you much harm. I have calculated everything."

Jie Yu smiled and spoke softly, then slowly moved the phantom towards the image of Mashiro, who was still unaware of the song.

"Ok?"

And then, Jie Yu was surprised to see Hiromachi Nanami suddenly look over here. She frowned slightly and pulled Mashiro over, and the phantom also passed by the reserved anchor point.

"She can actually detect it?"

The unexpected situation made Jie Yu stunned for a moment. She frowned and wanted to lock onto Zhen Bai directly. Then, a yellow mark suddenly appeared in front of her. Although she subconsciously deployed a shield, Jie Yu was still forced to retreat by the sudden storm. After a moment, Ruo Yemu's figure slowly gathered and looked up at her calmly.

"Are you the one who caused this incident? Release Xiangzi and the others immediately."

"Oh, a pet that Huang Yi likes has the right to speak so arrogantly to me?"

Jie Yu gritted her teeth and prepared to cast a spell, and at this moment the yellow mark on Ruoyemu's collarbone suddenly lit up, and the phantom of Carcosa quickly appeared behind her, occupying the entire space.

"Look, the black star has risen~"

Wakaba Mutsu closed his eyes and sang softly, while Kurata Yuku opened his eyes wide due to the unexpected situation and looked at the phantom of Carcosa in disbelief.

"He actually projected his power here specifically... Hastur actually loves you so much? What's so special about you?"

"Look, the tower stands quietly~"

Wakaba Mutsu continued to sing calmly. As the song spread, the whole space began to tremble. Jie Yu wailed and tried to protect the phantoms of Saori and Anzi, but they still completely disappeared in the song.

"Look, Aldebaran is shining, and Carcosa is ready. The bride is wearing a gorgeous wedding gown and heading off to the eternal sea of ​​stars in the deep sky."

"boom,"

Carcosa's illusion grew clearer and larger, and the entire white space slowly collapsed. The girl holding a fan suddenly appeared beside Kurata Yu, shaking her head helplessly.

"Hastur hasn't shown this much concern for a human in a long time. It seems some of her qualities appeal to Him... Let's go. We can't sustain this place any longer. If we stay here, Nodens will blast us to pieces."

"No, how is this possible? I've been planning this for so long..."

Jie Yu clenched her teeth in disbelief. She looked at Ruo Ye Mu with a distorted face, memorized her face deeply, and turned around unwillingly to leave with her daughter and the others.

Soon, everything returned to reality. Ruo Yemu sighed softly, turned around and nodded to Carcosa who was slowly disappearing.

"Thank you...husband."

"..."

A gentle breeze blew by, and Ruo Yemu listened quietly to the sound that only she could hear. After a moment, she turned her head and looked at the Tsuzuki poetry ship.

"My husband said we better leave quickly or the Nordens will target us."

"Well, let's go now."

"Yes, everyone should..."

Ruoye Mu's voice suddenly stopped, and she suddenly realized that among the many people who were still unconscious or had confused expressions, there was no sign of Chuhua and Xiangzi... But she was clearly sure that Kurata Yu and the others had not taken anyone away just now.

“…Where did they go?”

Chapter 145 Bloody Confession

When everyone on the other side was trapped in the dream, Yutian Temple Ruomai's connection with Xiangzi was directly cut off. She kept anxiously

I dialed the number again, but Xiangzi still didn't respond.

"damn it,"

She hammered her laptop in frustration, glanced at the surveillance footage which also showed no signal, took a deep breath and clenched her teeth, Xiangzi's words seemed to echo in her ears again.

"Ruomai, remember this. Although I'm confident I can control the situation, there's always room for uncertainty in this kind of danger. If I suddenly lose contact, you'll need to quickly capture all of Arisaki's team members. That way, we can gain the most leverage."

"Well, now it seems that it is time to take action,"

Ruomai sighed, picked up the stun gun and walked out of the alley, aiming it at the depressed and unaware Kasumi and the others.

"Sizzle,"

But the next moment, it was not her stun gun that fired. Ruomai only saw the arc of electricity flying from the side and hitting her hand, and then the whole body paralysis that came over her made her fall to the ground unable to move.

"Luckily, Arisaki asked me to protect her team members, otherwise you would have succeeded."

Mizukari came out from a hidden corner, glanced at Ruomai who was lying stiff on the ground, and shook her head slightly. At this time, Kasumi and the others also heard the noise and turned around quickly. Seeing this situation, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Lan...what's going on?"

"You should ask her. Why did she attack you when you were no longer involved? I also want to know the reason."

Mei Zhulan leaned over to look at Ruomai calmly and patted her head gently.

"Tell me, what do you want to do to them? It's best not to lie. I've also learned the spell to detect lies."

"Suddenly... I couldn't get through to them. I suspected Ichigaya Arisaki had done something, so I decided to control them first..."

Ruomai tried to squeeze out a sound, and at the same time gestured helplessly to the electric shock wire on his body.

"Can you... take it away first? I can't even speak clearly."

"Can,"

Mizukami nodded decisively, then took the pistol from her body, put away the electric shock wire, and took out the pistol magazine and put it aside.

"But I also need to tell you something. I can't contact Yusaki anymore. I originally thought it was a trick... but now it seems that's not the case. It seems that other forces are involved."

"That should be it,"

Ruomai coughed lightly and glanced at the lonely Meizhulan.

"You're doing this alone again without telling your teammates? They'll be furious if they find out, right?"

"Don't look at me like that. I persuaded them to come out. After all, they have no power. I, on the other hand, am very fast at learning magic, perhaps because of my father's invisible training since I was a child."

At this point, Mei Zhulan suddenly remembered something, her expression became a little depressed, and after hesitating, she spoke softly,

"...If possible, please apologize to your team member Wakaba Mu on my behalf. I never knew she suffered such torture at the hands of my father. Although he didn't force her to do this...but this kind of thing is enough to make me sick."

"I'll tell her, but I don't think she'll care..."

"Snapped,"

Ruomai was halfway through her words when she suddenly heard the sound of flesh bursting not far away. She was startled and quickly turned her head to see a broken body almost covering the ground. He had obviously jumped from a tall building, and his expensive suit was now covered with internal organs and brain matter.

"What's happening here?"

"Uh-huh,"

Before they could react, a huge screen not far away suddenly lit up. Superintendent Maeda looked at the camera expressionlessly, his face pale and his pupils trembling, his voice filled with extreme panic and pain.

"Everyone, I know you are all confused, but you don't need to care, because next I will confess my sins to the Lord in heaven. I once hurt His wife. Even though she hadn't been chosen at that time, this is obviously not an excuse."

"Under the light of Aldebaran, I must do everything in my power to atone for my sins. I hope you can all see how ridiculous I am and learn from my mistakes."

"Huh? What's going on? Is today April Fools' Day?"

"Hahaha, has the Superintendent gone crazy? This is going to be a good show."

None of the people in the square took his words seriously. They laughed and talked in low voices, but then they saw Maeda tremblingly took out a knife and cut open his stomach with force. Blood gushed out and dyed the screen red.
