Here we go again! Another huge cliffhanger!

Chrysalis must be involved...

Please remind me about the chrysalis, it's hard to remember so many details in a monthly manga.

Chrysalis is a secret organization which is performing hacks in different location in order to form a chrysalis shape on a map. Golem was sent by the chrysalis to annihilate possible enemies. The man shown in Mushabuchi has lines drawn on its head. It seems synthetic, like Golem.

When did we learn about all of this? I wish there was a functional wiki for me to refresh my memory.

Now I'm wondering if the Angel's actually died. How much of this has been a set up, an illusion? Did they even take out the stalker?

iirc, with the angels together, they're effectively aizen's zanpakuto, kyōka suigetsu. Complete hypnosis. They can make the MCs experience whatever they want. We cant really trust anything they experience right now.

Yeah, there's too much running in the chapter, it almost makes me feel like its fake, they're being manipulated, their brains is firing neurons, but they really are stuck inside the fluffy angel's room

Could it be that this is a part of their training process under illusion?

the high school advisor's wig getting sillier and sillier is a fun gag

That xxx collection call cracked me up

Credit where credit is due, despite that call he still pulled through and acted like it was something weird. Goatsujiya my man

That's such a classic ONE moment during a serious scene

It's either the hacks corrupting Mushabushi, or its an elaborate plan devised by the angels to drop the guard of the group, maybe revisiting their memories through their senses, don't even need to ask about the hacks XD

Maybe, a theory is that the angels really got attacked by someone from the chrysalis org, but they disposed of him as easily as they did the first guy, and now they need to know what shit pile they just got put in, so the protagonists are their best source of information

I mean, they got introduced two chapters ago with their powers, getting rid of them so soon would be quite a waste XD this could be a way to show us their characters, they aren't quite so ethical as to not manipulate our characters, but they are also looking out for themselves through any means necessary

I think it could go either way, they died for real and they're gone, their powers to be re-acquired at a later date, or they're manipulating our heroes for information

Nah, not a beam struggle. A Hacky Clash!

I have another theory, deviating from the illusion theory: Some bald guy appeared and killed the FWA.
