Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!-Chapter 240 Head-on Collision

Tonight, Earthly Ghost was in a foul mood.

Despite his confident claims before Heavenly Ghost, he was uncertain whether Heloise could successfully complete the mission.

In order not to "waste" Heloise, this precious pawn, Earthly Ghost approached her alone tonight, attempting to guide her back to the right path after she had strayed.

Thus, he had two objectives tonight: understanding the situation and issuing orders.

He needed to understand why Heloise was living so amicably with the "mission target"?

Hadn't he explicitly told Heloise that "Banning" was a demon, a foe that had to be eliminated?

Therefore, after finding Heloise, Earthly Ghost brought her into the depths of the forest where they would not be disturbed.

"Hiss... Heloise, what's going on? Explain to me, hiss," Earthly Ghost, suppressing his dissatisfaction, maintained the image of a benevolent "Lord Earthly Ghost" in front of Heloise.

"Lord Earthly Ghost, the prophetic star of the Nefarious Tiger King is shining. Even beings like you sometimes have your vision clouded by the mist. Felix, he is not a demon at all."

Heloise was still speaking her cryptic words, but when Earthly Ghost heard the last part, he was stunned.

What was going on with this child? She was actually denying the instruction he had given her?

"Hiss... Heloise, didn't I tell you that he is called Banning, that his identity is a disguise, and that he is a demon, hiss?" Earthly Ghost was becoming frustrated.

"Lord Earthly Ghost, names and identities are merely the shells we live in this world. Just as the Nefarious Tiger King has the image of a one-eyed evil tiger among people, what truly matters is the inner self. Regardless of whether he is called Banning or Felix, he is not a demon but a 'messenger of the Benevolent Deity'."

Heloise was unyielding, her faith steadfast.

Earthly Ghost was now genuinely puzzled.

Heloise's behavior was too abnormal; she seemed to be slipping out of his "control."

In Earthly Ghost's understanding, Heloise should have obeyed him without question. But now, not only did she doubt him, but she also opposed and denied him, completely ignoring his words.

— (Could it be that Banning has counter-brainwashed her?)

"Hiss… Heloise, listen to me, hiss. No matter what "Banning" has told you or done to you, I need you to forget him now, hiss. Just follow my orders, understand, hiss? If you don't listen to me, the "Trial Blood" will become invalid, and you can forget about reviving the tigermen race, hiss."

Left with no other recourse, Earthly Ghost played his trump card. He knew that "reviving the tigermen race" is a matter of life and death for Heloise.

However, to his surprise, even after he had spoken so explicitly, Heloise remained unmoved.

"Lord Earthly Ghost, the Nefarious Tiger King once said that being too arbitrary is the root cause of failure. Felix, he truly is a "Messenger of the Benevolent Deity". He is the one who can guide us to break the shackles of fate."

"Hiss! What "messenger of the Benevolent Deity" hiss, how can such a thing be possible?"

Earthly Ghost gradually lost his patience. He felt that there was something wrong with Heloise's mind, this head that always spoke such bizarre phrases, it had finally broken down. 𝚋ｅｄ𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅ𝚕．𝚗ｅｔ

What "messenger of the Benevolent Deity", Earthly Ghost would never believe in such a baseless thing. He could only think that Banning had successfully brainwashed Heloise more strongly in such a short time.

— (It seems that this pawn, Heloise, is no longer usable...)

"Lord Earthly Ghost, the apostles of the Nefarious Tiger King never speak falsehoods, Felix is genuine, and he has even performed "miracles" in front of the apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King. Since you find it hard to believe, why don't you witness it for yourself?"

The direction of the conversation suddenly deviated from Earthly Ghost's expectations. He was about to restrain Heloise, but the "target to be killed" immediately made his appearance.

"Good evening, 'Lord' Earthly Ghost. I've often heard Heloise mention 'you'. Today, truly, seeing is believing."

The young man with stern brows and eyes walked out from behind the trees where Heloise was.

Earthly Ghost immediately understood that everything tonight was planned by this guy ——? Heloise waiting in the outskirts at night was merely a trap to lure him out!

— (So it turns out that Heloise has already teamed up with Banning...)

— (No wonder my words had no effect earlier.)

— (Impressive, it's really well planned… Banning!)

"Hiss… Ha-ha! You are the one who has surprised me, hiss… Banning."

Earthly Ghost inspected Banning from top to bottom. His initial surprise quickly faded, leaving only a growing sense of excitement.

.

Tonight,? Earthly Ghost was not inclined to confront Banning directly, for it would expose his clandestine surveillance.

However, since Heloise had already betrayed him, facing Banning seemed to matter little anymore. After all, Heloise must have divulged everything to Banning.

Furthermore, Earthly Ghost thought of that crone Kasi.

He now understood why she had provided false intelligence and betrayed him —— Banning must have been behind it.

— (This Banning... is indeed not simple...)

— (No wonder the Eternal Winter Lord would even seek help from the Singular Demon God to assassinate him...)

— (It seems that I can't assign female pieces to deal with him in the future.)

— (This fellow spares no one, from young girls to old grannies, he's more shameless than our demon race!)

In light of these thoughts, Earthly Ghost felt that this forced encounter was not worthless.

He had always been frustrated by the fact that he could only operate through snake substitutes in the Human Alliance, and the information he wanted often became distorted after being relayed by the "watchers".

But now, he could directly learn about this "Banning". This was a rare opportunity. Because when one is successful in their schemes, they often love to show off the most.

And right now, Banning must be immensely pleased with himself!

.

"Lord Earthly Ghost, may I ask, how did you find out about me? And on what grounds did you determine that I am a demon?"

Banning continued his act, causing Earthly Ghost to suppress a laugh.

— (This lad must have won over Heloise and Kasi with that handsome face and acting skills.)

Earthly Ghost knew that under the current circumstances, there was no way to make Heloise change her mind. Since that was the case, he might as well take this opportunity to expose Banning's true colors and see what kind of person he really is.

"Hiss... Since we're already face to face, let's stop pretending, Banning."

Upon hearingEarthly Ghost's words, Banning immediately laughed.

"Hehe, dragging you out here really wasn't easy, Lord Earthly Ghost. This is the second time you're trying to kill me, right? ...Such a pity, your plan to frame me as a demon and get Heloise to kill me has completely fallen apart."

"Hiss... So what if it failed? I can kill you, but you can't kill me. What can you do to me?"

Earthly Ghost stared at the smug Banning, feeling satisfied.

The prouder a person is, the easier it is to provoke them. His next step was to provoke Banning to the extreme.

Apart from this,? Earthly Ghost also noticed the change in Heloise's expression.

The girl clearly didn't know about the feud between him (Earthly Ghost) and Banning. After hearing the conversation just now, her face was full of incredulity.

— (Very good, you feel disappointed in me, don't you, Heloise... )

— (Next, I will make you utterly despise me, then you'll faithfully follow Banning...)

—? (In this way, you can become an excellent suicide weapon, fulfilling your final value, hahaha!!)
