Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 151 Mission: 09-6 The End of Nagasaki
"This, this is different from what we agreed on!"

In fact, Shuangshi knew that his act of betrayal would cause resentment in other people's hearts.

But she still agreed to Little Ace's plan for only one reason:
All of this can be pretended never happened.

As long as Xiangzi is rescued and Xiao Ace is allowed to accommodate Nanna's power, it can use this power to penetrate into the consciousness of other people and erase their memories of this betrayal.

But there are two prerequisites: one is that the plan can proceed smoothly without any mistakes; the other is that Shuangshi’s friends only have a grudge in their hearts, and cannot directly "break up".

However, both of these premises have now encountered accidents.

The breaking of the "thread" shows that the rift between Shuangshi and others can no longer be filled by erasing memories, and Deng falling into a deep sleep proves that the entire plan has deviated from the original trajectory.

It wasn't just Nero; even Deng, Aine, Riki, and Lenai were probably lost in their dreams. Regardless of whether they could forgive Souyo for reconnecting the "thread," the more troublesome thing was that they might never wake up again!

"This is different from what we promised!"

Shuangshi spoke again, this time with a sad and angry question.

"It was just a small accident!"

Realizing that he had accidentally exposed his weakness, Little Ace quickly tried to make amends: "As long as we get Nanna's power, we can still find them."

However, once the impression of "nothing is impossible" and "no failure" is broken, it can never be rebuilt. For Shuangshi, the plan proposed by Xiao Ace cannot afford to fail or make any mistakes!
Ultimately, this plan itself is a plan that dances on the edge of a knife and is extremely risky. In such a plan, the occurrence of an unexpected event is likely to mean more unexpected events will occur later. How can Shuangshi continue to proceed with peace of mind?
Besides, this hastily given explanation was already flawed: "Then why didn't you mention it before? If you have such ability, you can also bring back the lost Nero, right?"

If that's the case, then why did the previous plan include Nero, who wasn't an enemy, in the dream at the end? Shuangshi questioned.

The more unexpected the situation, the easier it is to see through a lie. Little Ace hadn't considered that Aine and the others would enter a dream to save Nero, so no matter how he tried to explain this lie, it would still be a paradox. For Little Ace, he could only choose between "deliberately killing Nero" and "being unable to save Takamatsu Deng and the others."

Both of these mean that Shuangshi will no longer trust it as much as before.

So, it sighed helplessly.

"Looks like I can't get the Yama Blade. Whatever."

Little Ace finally revealed his true nature in front of Shuangshi, mocking the foolish chess piece before him. "But it's indeed thanks to you that I at least managed to exclude the most unstable factor from my plan."

Faced with its changed expression, Shuangshi stood there in a daze for a moment.

"What did you say?"

she asked in disbelief.

"Didn't you hear? But I don't like having to say things twice."

Little Ace took a step back and slowly disappeared, leaving behind only a low, cold laugh in front of Shuangshi: "These people are useless to me, so I'll leave them to you. Think about it brightly, at least they won't be angry with you anymore, right? Hahahaha..."

Amidst the evil laughter, a crisp sound was heard. The scissors in Shuangshi's hand slipped from his trembling fingers and hit the ground.

"How, how could it be?"

A suffocating feeling gripped Shuangshi's throat. She found it difficult to breathe, her brain dizzy from lack of oxygen, and she fell to her knees.

"It, it's lying to me..."

At that moment, Shuangshi felt as if her hands weighed a thousand pounds. She fell to the ground, struggling against the terrifying force of gravity. Looking at the pair of white, soft, slender, graceful hands before her, she immediately began to retch.

It was her own hand.

It was also the hand that held the scissors and cut the thread that mattered to life.

In this bleak reality, Nagasaki Shoyo was forced to understand one thing: there was neither salvation nor justice in her actions.

It was pure betrayal and murder. "What the hell... have I done?"

Shuangshi watched as blood began to appear on those spotless hands. The bloodstains continued to expand, spreading outwards and dyeing the world a bright red.

She vomited again.

……

…………

………………

After an unknown amount of time, Nagasaki Shoyo stood up shakily in the bloody world.

"It's... not over yet."

She murmured slowly in a dreamy voice. In her hands, the pair of scissors named "Shikoti" were tightly clenched, and blood seeping from her palms dripped along the blades.

"it's not finished yet."

She closed her eyes and spoke again.

Her friends are now lost in a chaotic dream, but there is only one person who can accurately find them by following the "connection".

It was herself.

However, humans cannot bring items into dreams. If Shuangshi wants to enter the dream to look for them, he cannot bring Shikoti with him to find them.

There is only one solution.

Shuangshi slowly raised his hand, held his weapon in reverse, and pointed the tip of the scissors at his heart.

That’s right—as long as Shuangshi allows himself to become one with this weapon, wouldn’t that be enough?
She took a deep breath and gripped the hilt tightly.

Push hard.

In intense pain, Shuangshi gritted his teeth and silently pushed the blade into his chest.

This is her responsibility and atonement for messing up everything.

No blood flowed from the wound. No, to be more precise, all the blood in Shuangshi's body was consumed by the demon-transformed weapon. Only then did Shuangshi finally understand that the weapon he was familiar with was not a so-called "demon hunting weapon" but merely a demon-transformed magical tool.

At this moment, the dead demon sucked Shuangshi's life and gradually revived.

Endless black fog poured out from Shuangshi's heart, which was pierced by the blade, and gradually enveloped her entire body.

"Roar……!!!"

Amid the demon's violent roar, the vast black fog engulfed everything.

In the center of the black fog, a faceless and indistinct "shadow" slowly stood up. It resembled a ghost wearing a cloak and holding a pair of scissors.

That is the present-day Nagasaki.

She—no, it had now completely transformed into a demon, losing its original human form. But fortunately or unfortunately, it had successfully withstood the erosion of the demon's will, retaining its human consciousness.

The weightless shadow, once named "Nagasaki Soyo", flashed by.

Sinking into the world of dreams.
