Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 106 Mission: 04-1 The End
"Let me ask you, do you have a wish that you want to fulfill?"

"Uh……"

Looking at the strange rabbit-like creature in front of him, Gao Songdeng instinctively shrank back and asked cautiously, "...What...are you?"

"Just call me Little Ace." The creature lifted its front legs and tugged at its ears. "Do you have a wish you want to fulfill? I can help you make it come true."

Deng looked at Little Ace and asked in disbelief, "Can it come true just by saying it?"

"Of course there's a price to pay." Little Ace stared at Gao Songdeng with his scarlet eyes. "After this, you must take up arms and fight the demons that threaten this city. Are you ready for this?"

Gao Songdeng's eyes fell into darkness.

Over the past year, she has always dreamed of this memory, and at the end of the dream, she always wakes up at this moment.

She regretted countless times why she made that wish. When she made such a wish so casually, she never considered that this wish would only bring misfortune.

She climbed from her desk and rubbed her swollen eyes. It was already after school, but no one had come to remind her. This was Takamatsu Deng's paltry attempt to make amends after realizing the price of his wish. He couldn't be friends with anyone else. Because if he became Deng's friend, his reckless wish would become a curse that would consume him.

She slowly packed up her things and went downstairs, lowered her head, and walked towards the school gate in silence.

However, an unexpected sound was heard.

"Little lamp?"

When her name was called, Takamatsu Deng suddenly looked up and saw the person waiting for her outside the school gate.

"So cool..." Gao Songdeng opened her mouth subconsciously, but she quickly realized that she couldn't do that and bit her lips tightly.

Nagasaki Soyo. She was once a teammate of Deng and a companion who fought demons in the city. To Deng, she was also once a friend.

But that was already in the past. I shouldn't have had any friends. This was the punishment for making that wish.

It was because of that wish that Xiaoxiang...

Xiaoxiang? Who is Xiaoxiang?
Two chaotic thoughts collided in Deng's mind, threatening to tear her in two. She instinctively rejected him, whispering, "No... Don't come near me."

"Don't say that, Deng." Nagasaki Shoyo put on a gentle attitude, trying to persuade Takamatsu Deng: "No matter what, you can always come and discuss it with us... After all, we are friends, right?"

friend.

This word pierced Takamatsu Deng's heart like a sharp knife.

No. No one can be Takamatsu Deng's friend, otherwise...

She turned and ran.

"Wait, Xiao Deng!"

Leave the calling behind you far behind.

Seeing Takamatsu Deng refusing to communicate with her and turning around to run away, Nagasaki Souyo was stunned for a moment. But the pink-haired girl next to her reminded her to come back to her senses: "What are you standing there for? Chase after him!"

It was Chihaya Aine. She had already taken the initiative and started running, joining the chaotic chase, and even found time to send a message to the group. Shuangshi's phone soon began to ring.

She opened it and looked at the words "The little light ran away" and "Huh?" on it, her expression a little dazed.

Then a call came to Shuangshi's phone. It was Shiina Riki.

Shuangshi knew that within the original team, Deng was the one Li Xi liked the most, primarily due to their synergy. Takamatsu Deng's weapon—the magic wand "Parthenobo"—could carry him aloft and unleash large-scale bombardments on the ground. For Li Xi, who also relied on long-range attacks and could create poisonous swamps to trap enemies, this made him the perfect partner.

Yes, unlike the others. It looked as if Li Xi had signed a contract with Little Ace just to be able to hunt demons. All her actions prioritized the fight against demons, so much so that the streets destroyed by poison pools and bombings always had to be cleaned up by others.

Thinking of this, Shuangshi was slightly stunned.

Clean up the mess? Is there anyone on the team who can do that?
The four demon-hunting weapons, Shikoti of Shuangshi, Hydra of Lixi, Parthenobo of Deng, and the Mechanical God of Mu, did not have the power to erase the damage caused by battle.

But this is impossible. If there wasn't someone responsible for handling the aftermath, with the terrifying destructive power of Deng and Lixi working together, the fact that they were fighting the demons would have been exposed in the city long ago.

There is another person.

Shuangshi covered his forehead and called out without any hesitation: "Shikoti!"

The team consisted of more than just the four people in Shuangshi's memory. There was also a mysterious fifth person who had disappeared from her own memory.

A pair of giant scissors appeared in Shuangshi's hands. She held her weapon tightly and looked at the countless intricate threads before her, trying to find the broken thread.

The phone kept ringing.

Shuangshi finally walked to a corner and connected the phone, holding his bag and Shikoti in his other hand, his eyes still fixed on the lines on the floor.

"Where are you?" Li Xi asked bluntly.

"School of Lights."

"Where's the light?"

"He ran away. Aine is chasing him."

"That guy is alone? What about you?"

Finally, Shuangshi put down his phone, picked up a broken thread from the silk threads on the ground, and turned on the hands-free function.

"Lixi." She said in a serious tone.

"what?"

"Do you remember who cleaned up the street that you and the lamp destroyed?"

"Aftermath? That kind of thing..."

Li Xi stopped mid-sentence, realizing something: "...I don't remember?"

Thinking of Deng's strange notes, she immediately thought of the same thing as Shuangshi: "Could it be?!"

"it is as expected."

Shuangshi ignored Lixi's next words, hung up the phone silently, and looked up at the sunset.

"What the hell is that guy doing?!" On the other end of the line, Shiina Riki looked at the phone in her hand angrily, and helplessly dialed another number she didn't want to make at all: "Hello, where are you?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm asking you!" Li Xi was a little anxious.

"I don't know!" Aiyin's tone was also a little anxious. "The light kept running, I couldn't catch up with her! Do you know where her house is?"

"You mean, she's running home?"

Li Xi took a breath and said briefly: "I understand. I'll go ahead and block her."

Then he hung up the call without hesitation.

Aiyin, who was running, looked at the cell phone in her hand that only made a "beep, beep" sound and cried out in pain.

"What do you mean by one or two?!"
