Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 145 Mission: 08-8 A Century-Old Conspiracy
Finally, after being far away from Sun City and his friends, Nagasaki Soyo stopped.

She looked at the two swords in her hands in silence, and seemed to feel a little regret in her heart.

Shuangshi knew the consequences of his actions at that time. Nero would be lost in countless dreams and unable to find his way back.

In the worst case scenario, she might just sleep forever.

However, if Souyo wants to truly save Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu, he must do this.

"Well done, Shuangshi."

The voice came from a strange pink and white creature, a cross between a rabbit and a cat. It emerged from the shadows and approached Shuangshi. "So far, everything has been very successful."

Seeing Xiao Ace appear, Shuangshi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he immediately asked, "Can this save Xiaoxiang and the others?"

"That's right." Little Ace answered in an affirmative tone.

Yes, starting from tonight, all of Shuangshi’s actions will be carried out according to Xiao Ace’s plan.

In this plan, what Shuangshi has to do is very simple - just like what he did just now, close his scissors at an appropriate time.

In other words, from the appearance of Nana to the time when Nero and others went to find Chuhua and tried to find a way to enter Xiangzi's dream, everything that happened tonight was within Xiao Ace's expectations.

"So..." Shuangshi asked again, "When can we move on to the next step?"

The backstab just now was a key point in Xiao Ace's plan for Shuangshi. Shuangshi's goal was to save Xiangzi and Hemu, and more importantly, to transform them back into humans. Therefore, she couldn't allow Nero to enter Xiangzi's dream. That would mean Xiangzi would prevail against Nanna and completely dominate her power.

If that happens, Xiangzi will become a human pillar used to suppress Nana's power and will never be able to turn back into a human.

Shuangshi couldn't tolerate such a thing happening, so she turned to Xiao Ace for help, and the answer she got was this plan.

By banishing Nero to the dream world, Shuangshi created an opportunity, an opportunity for himself and Xiao Ace to obtain the legendary magic tool "Yan Mo Dao".

Once he obtains this knife, Shuangshi will be able to separate Nanna and Xiangzi, severing the demonic power from Mu and returning her to human form. Then, Xiao Ace will seal Nanna's corpse with his own body, forever suppressing the source of the New City's demonic power within the demonic realm.

In this way, both the city and Xiangzi can be saved.

"It's already started." Little Ace said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will complete what I promised you."

Shuangshi held his chest and took deep breaths to calm his excitement - and also with a feeling of guilt.

In Little Ace's plan, there are people who cannot be saved.

In order to obtain the Yama Sword and to completely separate Nana from Xiangzi, they still have one thing to do.

Because it was obvious that there was not only the comatose Nero in the planetarium, but also many other people. In order to create an opportunity for Shuangshi to take the Yama Blade, Xiao Ace would lead Nanna there.

After that, Nana will take back her divided power from Hailing and others and become more complete.

During this process, the three will be absorbed by Nanna. Little Ace will use their consciousness to replace Xiangzi, thereby suppressing Nanna and creating an opportunity to separate Xiangzi. After separating Xiangzi, the three will become part of the material to seal Nanna, and they will never be able to return.

Indeed, the entire plan involved replacing Xiangzi's position in Nero's plan with Hailing, Chuhua, and Miaomeng. To accomplish this, Shuangshi had to sacrifice Nero. Because Chuhua had been sacrificed as a sacrifice in exchange for Xiangzi's return, no one could return her to her own body.

What a grave sin this was - but in order to save his friend, Shuangshi agreed to Xiao Ace without hesitation.

Although she felt guilty, she had no regrets.

Little Ace looked at this wonderful world, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth which was unable to open.

What a fitting chess piece.

Naive yet self-indulgent, selfish yet full of sacrificial spirit.

He's so naive that he even believes the nonsense of "granting wishes," yet he doesn't even blink when he hears about sacrificing other people's lives. It's people like this who are easy to manipulate, so easy that Ace doesn't even have to think about how to lie.

The plan that Xiao Ace told Shuangshi was basically true. You didn't even need a basic idea—it was all true.

This plan can really turn Xiangzi and Hemu back into humans, and it can really save the city from Nanna's clutches.

Even Nanna's power will be sealed by it——

However, it did not say what happened after the seal.

In order to obtain Nanna's power, Little Ace had already planted mines in every corner of this dream world - naturally, he would not tell Shuangshi about this.

In fact, this plan had already begun when it discovered Nanna's body, and it has been going on for nearly a hundred years now.

The real, complete plan actually looks like this:

First of all, in order to invade the dream world in the corpse, Little Ace needs to send humans with his own magic power into it.

In order to obtain the right human, it carried out a century-long plan in the new city, allowing its magic power to penetrate every inch of the city and use the power of "lust" to influence the dreams of every resident. As a result, it was able to connect with the demon world and send some weak demons to this land.

Then, he uses the bait of exorcising demons and granting wishes to lure gullible young girls.

After a period of training, he created various accidents to kill them and cause them to fall into the demon world and merge with the corpse.

When the time is right, a dreamy girl will be used to fully awaken the corpse. Combined with the previous series of sacrifices, the dream world and the new city will overlap.

After that, everything was simple. Little Ace only had to wait quietly for the newborn Nanna to grow. The new city in the dream world would naturally become closer and closer to reality, until it became identical. And then, through the connection between it and the city and its dreaming residents, it would naturally be able to control the dream.

Next, little Ace only needs to use the connection between it and the girl to "extract" the filtered power that does not contain Nanna's will, and everything will be done.

By then, the power of the Dream Lord would belong to it, and Nanna's consciousness would belong to the unfortunate girl. The other idle chess pieces were merely added to increase the chances of success and to provide some fun.

Now, little Ace is only one step away from truly realizing his century-long plan.
