I, the only superpower on earth

The blood without any fishy smell exudes a fragrance as strong as gardenia.

The pool formed by drops of blood is crystal clear like a mirror.

And just above the mirror surface of the blood pool, Mizuhara Manami seemed to be completely bewitched, the real world in front of her eyes was distorted into a combination of thousands of magnificent strings, each of which was filled with Mio Ito's strange voice.

"Merge into me, be me, be free from all pain...

"Only by being one without gaps can all obstacles be removed. . . .

"Please listen carefully, this is the voice of both of us, your heart is mine..."

"Senior Mio..."

Mizuhara Manami listened absentmindedly.

Those voices are like the absolute truth. When they sound in the mind, they are like their own voices from the bottom of the heart. It is impossible not to accept, disagree with, and fascinated by.

She opened her eyes, as if her eyes were out of focus, and looked at the girl in front of her loosely.

"Mio-senpai... have you and Meiya-senpai really been saved?"

"Yes, Manami."

Mio Ito looked at her tenderly, slowly bent down, and held her face in his hands.

Following her movement, the blood pool on the ground also echoed, and the middle of the blood pool rose slowly, and the blood flow turned into a red ribbon, wrapping around Manai Shi's body, and wherever it passed, the original The rope tied to Mizuhara Manami broke inch by inch, but the ribbon was embedded in Manami's body bit by bit.

In an instant, Mio Ito's hair turned golden, and her face became the same as Miya Mineyama.

"Manami, you are a very gentle child, you actually want to save me and Ito Mio at the same time, although you can't do it with your own strength...Although you can't dispel the shadow in my heart, I have already got I have lost redemption, and now I only have happiness in my heart.”

In the next second, the girl turned into the original Mio Ito again.

"Manami, you should live in a better world."

In the next second, the girl became Miya Mineyama again.

"Come on, Manami, join us... let us not have any obstacles between each other, and become a one-hearted existence."

At the same time, Mio Ito's face flashed on the girl's face at the same time.

"Manami..."

The faces of Mio Ito and Miya Mineyama flickered alternately, and their voices blended together like an ensemble. Along with this ensemble, the intertwined melodies and alternate faces also made Mizuhara Manami's brain more and more chaotic and fascinated:

"Is it really possible...to join Senior Sister...

"...into that wonderful world—"

Mizuhara Mana stretched out her hands involuntarily, as if she wanted to hug the girl in front of her.

But the moment she stretched out her hands——

"..."

The heat in his chest suddenly tightened.

Inexplicably, the blood in his body boiled.

Almost at the same moment, the fog in the brain was dispelled, and the scene of this strange world in front of him was reflected in the eyes of Mizuhara Manami who gradually regained the ability to think realistically——

The faces of Mio Ito and Miya Mineyama appearing alternately; the chorus of girls playing together; the ribbons of blood surrounding her body; and the pool of blood that is crystal clear like a mirror under her body...

"……ah!"

Mizuhara Manami's eyes widened, and she fell backwards in panic, but during the fall, she remembered that the ground was full of blood, and hurriedly folded her arms and hands on the ground.

"Woo--"

The girl got up from the ground in a panic, and wanted to pat off the blood stains on her body, but after raising her hand, she turned around and found that there was no trace of blood on her palm or on her clothes.

"——??"

Mizuhara Mana looked at the ground tremblingly.

The blood mirror, which was originally like a shallow pool without waves, squirmed like a living thing, and was retracted into Mio Ito's body.

And that person looked at Mizuhara Manami who suddenly woke up, there was no surprise on his almost perfect face, he just smiled faintly:

"That feeling... Sure enough, Manami, you are also the chosen one..."

"The selected object? What is that? Sister, why are you..."

Mizuhara Manami could hardly restrain the doubts and anxiety boiling in her heart. The ability Mio Ito showed just now seemed to turn the mysticism and supernatural legends she had always longed for into reality.

However, when things came to an end, what Mizuhara Manami felt immediately was not excitement, but fear and doubt.

"...Manashi, you should be able to guess it—by now, you should be able to feel the magic of that pendant."

Mio Ito stared at her with a smile.

...Is that really the case?

Mizuhara Manami tremblingly held the pendant hanging on her chest, recalling the face of that young man in her mind. And what I said to him that day.

“…Whenever I think about everything related to the occult and the supernatural, I’m like, ‘Oh, it’s so nice that the world doesn’t repeat itself all the time’!”

At that time, with what kind of naive attitude did I say this sentence?

And the existence that really belonged to the field of mysticism, after hearing what he said, what did he, or he... think?

Mizuhara Manami felt a little hard to breathe.

"...how did it become like this..."

Mizuhara Manami could no longer restrain the emotions in her heart.

"...Did the store manager let you go this far..."

Is it because I brought Ito Mio to that bookstore that she became such a monster?

"Don't blame yourself, Manami...Actually, this is what I have always dreamed of, true happiness. You have helped me from the beginning to the end, but I have not given you anything in return. Although I want you I felt true happiness, but it was also blocked by Him... Hehe, maybe He has other arrangements, what a pity."

"Senior Mio..."

In Mizuhara Mana's watery eyes, Ito Mio gradually turned around.

"...Manami, goodbye."

Before the voice of the last sentence she left was completely dissipated in the air, Mio Ito had already left the place, and her figure disappeared outside the abandoned factory.

Manami Mizuhara looked at her disappearing back in confusion, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word, and all kinds of complex and indescribable emotions flashed in her heart.

She didn't regain consciousness until a few solitary screams from outside the factory fell into her ears.

"Ah, what is this!!"

"... Goo!"

"Ugh..."

There were men and women in these screams. The moment Mizuhara Manami heard it, she thought of Ito Mio who had just left, and immediately understood, and hurried to the outside of the factory gate.

——But just after she came outside the gate, the screams disappeared without a trace.

However, as far as the eye could see, the entire open space outside the factory was covered in blood.

Blood red ocean!

Blood smeared the entire open space, and even swept across the nearby woods, like a hell of flesh and blood, but also like a heaven of birth.

And just above the sea of ​​blood, there is only a blood-red sphere that is constantly wriggling.

Every time it squirms, the blood-red sphere will shrink by a circle, and a vague figure will disappear inside, and his or her happy and relieved voice can be heard.

"...So that's how it is..."

"...It's so beautiful..."

"...Finally got redemption..."

The blood cells continued to shrink inward, and one of the individual figures gradually disappeared, and finally converged into one.

——That is, Mio Ito.

The sea of ​​blood rolled up and was absorbed into Mio Ito's body again. Facing Mizuhara Manami who was already dumbfounded by this scene, she just showed a strange smile.

The next moment, Mio Ito's figure erupted at an indescribable speed, sending rolling shock waves to both sides, and heading for the distance.

Although the thinking ability is running out, Mizuhara Manami can still judge the direction she left——

That is, the urban area of ​​Tokyo!

"Sister...what are you going to do..."

A gust of cold wind blew, making Mizuhara Manami shiver, and finally calmed down a little.

Glancing around outside the gate of the abandoned factory—the place has become extremely messy, lying on the ground is a van cut in half from the middle, and there are cigarette butts all over the place. The moment she saw it, Mizuhara Mana was already I understand the source of those voices just now:

"That's...the social people called by Senior Meiya, and her usual subordinates..."

Although if it weren't for Mio Ito, I might have fallen into an extremely dangerous situation because of those people today, but thinking of their ending, Manami Mizuhara still couldn't bring up any hatred, but only felt a sense of desolation and peace. tragic.

"..."

Mizuhara Manami took a deep breath.

Looking at the direction Mio Ito left, he turned his head and walked in another direction.

——With the power displayed by Ito Mio at this time, no matter what she wants to do, she can't stop it.

——However, the root of all this falls on that store manager, as long as he can be found, then everything can be easily solved!
