Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 139 Mission: 08-2 Escape
Deng, who was sitting on the sofa, whispered, "So, I saw the tram coming, but in the end nothing happened..."

I see. So, using this method, I can clearly understand my current state?

Nero felt the Yama Blade within her body, confirming its presence. Indeed, if she had any doubts about this, she could simply strike with the Yama Blade fiercely.

"Yes, that time the boss brought you into this world before you were hit in order to save you."

After answering the lamp, Hai Ling looked at Nero again: "I can freely travel through shadows. I am the only one who can enter and exit other dreams at will - except for the boss. Under the current circumstances, I am also the only one who has a chance to lead you out of the dream."

escape?
Hearing this, Nero couldn't help but frown slightly. She wasn't planning on escaping. Escaping alone, leaving her uncle and an entire city to die in a dream? This wasn't something a Spartan would do.

Oh? What? Dad did it too? That's different. Dad has completely chopped off his human identity. He's not even human anymore.

Even so, Nero seriously considered the feasibility of Hailing's proposal. Even if she didn't intend to escape, Kaaiyin and the others shouldn't stay here. It would only put them in danger and wouldn't achieve any results.

"Won't this be discovered by 'it'?" Nero asked.

"Our power comes from the same source as the boss." Hai Ling replied calmly, "So yes, we won't be discovered."

She paused, then added, "If it weren't for my power covering up this apartment, you would have been caught by now."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true. After all, Nero was rescued from Nanna. Although Nanna's claim that she is omniscient and omnipotent in dreams is somewhat exaggerated, the fact that she can appear anywhere also shows that she has a certain grasp of everything in the dream.

...By the way, if that's the case, Hai Ling's obvious act of betrayal was also carried out in front of Nana. Nana might be looking for her all over the world now.

"thank you for your help."

Nero finally thanked Hai Ling. But then, a rather discordant voice rang out from the sofa:

"Huh?" Li Xi taunted him with a provocative tone, "Are you planning on running away?"

"It's time for you to escape." Nero replied calmly.

"I never said I wanted to run away." Li Xi snorted coldly.

Hai Ling frowned and looked at her: "Li Xi, now is not the time to lose your temper, you are almost—"

"It's about time we face reality. You're not going to say this again, are you?"

Li Xi cast a cold gaze at Hai Ling and interrupted her: "Yes, I just can't see the reality clearly. How can I see the reality clearly when you two are hiding everything from me?"

"Okay Lixi."

Shuangshi tried to smooth things over. She stood up and said to Lixi in a persuasive tone, "I believe Hachiman-san also has his own difficulties, and Xiaomu also..."

But Li Xi continued to refute without giving in: "Just because you have your reasons doesn't mean you can say nothing."

Looking at her like this, Hai Ling closed her eyes and sighed.

"If it's something that can be believed just by saying it, there's no need to go through so much trouble."

Nero understood this all too well. If he had told them that there was something wrong with Little Ace, they would have believed him and told him everything, and things wouldn't have gotten to this point. Even more frustrating, even after things had gotten this far, Little Ace hadn't revealed a single thing. So, even if he told them the truth now, it would only have the opposite effect.

But what could he do? They had simply been deceived. All Nero could do was to find a way to get them out and stop them from getting involved in this matter.

"I won't leave."

However, Li Xi still asserted: "If I choose to leave at this time, I will look down on myself for the rest of my life."

What about everyone else?
Seeing Nero looking at him, Shuangshi shook his head and said, "Our family and friends are still here."

Aine hesitated for a moment and agreed with Soushi's statement.

The lamp also nodded and said, "I won't let what happened that day happen again."

Now only Lenai was left. Nero sighed as he looked at her, her eyes sparkling as she held the spoon in her mouth.

On the contrary, she might be the person who stayed behind to help Nero the most. After training with Dante for a period of time, her fighting ability might even be stronger than Nero who did not transform or use the Yama Sword.

More importantly, Nero couldn't think of anyone who could use her. Someone so impulsive was a natural enemy of complex schemes. If he included her in his plan, it would definitely turn into a mess.

Finally, Nero looked at Hai Ling. She even considered whether to knock all these people unconscious and then let Hai Ling send them away by force.

The door of the apartment was opened silently, and a masked man with purple hair and a slim figure walked in.

"There's nothing unusual nearby—huh? Doesn't the atmosphere seem off?"

she asked, blinking.

"Thank you for your hard work." Hai Ling did not forget to thank Miao Meng. After nodding, she looked at Li Xi again with a complicated look: "Li Xi, I can't force you, so I hope you can think it through."

"Don't ask, I won't leave." Li Xi's tone was very firm: "Even if I can't do anything, I will protect my family and friends."

Nero closed his eyes slightly, sighed in his heart, and gave up the idea of ​​knocking them out.

She relented.

It was clear that Lixi had truly learned the lesson Nero had taught her. She no longer spouted empty words like "protecting the city," but instead spoke earnestly about protecting her family and friends. Although she was still as weak as before, she was down-to-earth and her heart was truly genuine.

Just like Nero in the past. If she hadn't had the will to protect her loved ones, and the determination to gain power at all costs, she would never have been able to gain Yama Blade's recognition, enter the imprint of her will on the blade, and fully awaken Yama Blade.

In that case, how could she refuse Lixi and others who had the same idea?

By this time, a long time had passed before Miao Meng finally realized what was happening and called out, "Wait, wait, Buzi, are you planning to run away?"

"What else?" Hai Ling looked up at her. "The boss is already dead. We can't stop 'that guy' anymore. If that's the case, we might as well let nature take its course—perhaps this way the damage will be less."
