Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 152 Mission: 09-7 The damage done is irreversible
In the ocean of subconsciousness, the first person Shuangshi found was Gao Songdeng.

Of course it was her, because she was the only Exorcist Girl who had not severed her relationship with Soshi. Soshi, who had entered the dream, gathered the black mist, barely condensed her original image, and came in front of Gao Songdeng.

"...Shuangshi?"

"It's me, Xiao Deng."

Thanks to Chu Hua's power, Deng and the others remained awake in their dreams. However, when he saw Shuang Shi, Deng still thought it was a person from his dream.

After all... the real Shuangshi has already betrayed them, how could he possibly come back?
Thinking of this, Gao Songdeng lowered his head in disappointment.

However, Shuangshi grabbed her hand solemnly and said, "Listen to me, Xiaodeng."

Under Gao Songdeng's surprised gaze, Shuang Shi said, "The 'sadness' that sent you into the dream is no longer there. I am here to take you away from here."

"I'm waiting here for Nero-san to come back, so I can't leave."

When Deng heard Shuangshi's words, his brain was unable to wrap its head around it for a moment, and he answered very straightforwardly.

Suddenly, Shuangshi finally understood why Deng and Aine had entered a dream, but this did not prevent him from doing what he had to do. Shuangshi squatted down slightly, looked at Deng, who lowered her head, and said, "Please, Deng. Without 'Sadness', you can't save Nero by doing this. I will take you to find the others, and we will find a solution together."

Its voice was very sincere, and Deng was deeply touched, but he still felt that something was wrong and that he should not have agreed.

After a moment, she reacted and asked, "Is it really a wonderful world?"

Shuangshi answered again without getting tired of it: "Yes, it's me."

"Why do you want to do that?" Deng asked again.

Shuangshi sighed inwardly, thinking that this question was inevitable. However, she had already prepared herself for this. No matter what, this was its fault, so whether it was questioning, insults, or violence, it would accept it all.

"I'm sorry." Shuangshi lowered his head deeply, "I'm really sorry everyone, but I have something very important to let you know."

After apologizing, Shuangshi looked up at the lamp's puzzled eyes and said, "I was deceived by Little Ace—we were all deceived by it."

"Eh?"

"It's natural to be surprised when you hear something like this. But please believe me: Ace told me that if I did this, I could save Xiaoxiang and the others, but it was just a lie..."

Gao Songdeng's mouth was slightly open and he blinked, as if he was completely unable to understand Shuangshi's words.

"Please, Xiao Deng," Shuangshi said solemnly and earnestly, "It's just using us to achieve its own goals. Now only I can lead everyone out of this dream. Please come with me!"

Deng remained in this half-open mouthed state for a few seconds, then slowly shook his head: "Sorry, Shuangshi."

She pulled her hand back from Shuangshi's palm: "I can't accept what you said."

After being rejected, Shuangshi felt dizzy again and almost collapsed to the ground. However, he was still strong and did not fall down in the end. After holding his forehead and taking two steps back, Shuangshi did not give up, but said to Gao Songdeng again:

"I'm sorry for saying something that embarrassed you." It took a deep breath—even though its body no longer needed to breathe. "But it's okay. I'll try to talk to the others first. If they can believe me, can you please believe them?"

Deng looked down at the notes in his hand and nodded slowly and hesitantly.

"Thank you."

The dark magic wrapped around Shuangshi's body, his figure melted into the dream, and he found the second person along a line connected to the lamp.

"what?"

After listening to Shuangshi's statement while suppressing her anger and desire to take action, Lixi responded: "Are you seeking justice for yourself?"

Although her words were stingy, Shuangshi was delighted that the cold-hearted Li Xi actually believed her: "I didn't think so - but Li Xi, thank you for believing me." However, Li Xi folded his arms and said coldly: "I didn't believe you. It's because Mu and Hai Ling said similar things, so I concluded that there was indeed something wrong with Xiao Ace. What does this have to do with you?"

Shuangshi said anxiously: "But Lixi, we must unite now, so that we can fight against——"

"I reject."

Li Xi interrupted it impatiently: "You said you were deceived, but can you attack your friends just because you were deceived? Nero has helped us so much along the way, don't you feel anything at all?"

Shuangshi's outstretched hand froze in the air.

"I will continue to wait for Nero to come back. She is more trustworthy than you."

Ending with these words, Li Xi turned his eyes away and ignored Shuangshi.

Helplessly, Shuangshi could only leave Lixi's dream and go find a third person.

Go find Aine, who is the most difficult to persuade and has the greatest influence on other people's views on this matter.

She and Nero had the best relationship, so naturally she was hurt the most, and Shuangshi was most afraid of seeing her at this time. However, Deng and Li Xi had already clearly rejected Shuangshi, and only by convincing Aiyin could Shuangshi have a chance to change their minds.

Shuangshi found her in a church school that was obviously located in Europe.

Facing the appearance of Shoshi, Aiyin was very surprised, and at the same time, she was a little entangled and a little resistant. However, facing Shoshi who lowered his posture, apologized and pleaded continuously, Aiyin finally did not directly order him to leave, but decided to listen to what he wanted to say.

"Thank you for listening to me."

Aine didn't completely refuse to communicate with him, and this attitude made Shuangshi feel a little relieved.

“I’m so sorry for doing that. I’m sure it must have hurt you, Aine.

“It’s normal that you don’t want to forgive me, but please at least believe what I’m going to say next.

"I know my actions were completely wrong, so what I'm going to say next isn't an excuse. I did what I did because I was deceived by Ace-chan. It didn't just deceive me, it deceived you, Aine, and Tomo, all of us."

"Really?" Aine wasn't surprised to learn this. She also believed that Shuangshi didn't do this out of her own will, so there weren't many people who could trick her into doing this.

Little Ace is one of them.

Shuangshi thought Aine didn't react and thought he was lying, so he quickly said, "I'm telling the truth, please believe me!"

"I believe it. So?"

This rhetorical question made Shuangshi slightly stunned: "So... I hope that Aiyin can come with me. I will take you to meet Deng and Lixi and the others, and we can discuss how to deal with the current situation..."

As expected, Aine also rejected this proposal: "I will wait here for her to come back."

"But now there is no one who can—"

At Shuangshi's anxious voice, Aiyin shook her head, and Shuangshi's words were suddenly stuck in her throat.

Aiyin stared at Shuangshi with eyes that showed no trace of sadness or joy, and said again: "I said, I will wait for her to come back."

Faced with such an Aiyin, Shuangshi could only think that she was still unwilling to forgive herself.

So, Shuangshi grabbed Aine's hand, knelt down suddenly, and begged with sobs:

"I beg you!"
