After witnessing the scene where those n were sexually abusing the two won and the two little girls—a sight that made Dennis nauseous yet left him powerless to act—Daisy Number Seven suddenly raised her hand again. Everything shifted back to the way it was before. The four n vanished, but the two won and the two little girls remained; only now, they were no longer human. They were ghosts, standing frozen in the spot where the sofa had previously been.
"Huh... w... what?" Dennis asked, seeing ghosts for the very first ti.
"They co from your dinsion and arrived here along with this villa. I am going to set them free so they can return to their own realm," Daisy Number Seven answered.
Dennis turned to look at Daisy, who had returned to normal. Her eyes were back to the way they were, her smile was normal, and he could faintly see her wings and her angel halo despite her disguise.
"Are you... Daisy?" Dennis asked.
"Yep, I’m back. She just borrowed my body to explain things to you. Sorry if she scared you," Daisy Number Seven replied.
"I wasn’t scared... but I was shocked to death and got the creeps. So, what about them?" Dennis said, still trembling but feeling a bit relieved as he pointed toward the ghosts in front of him.
"Let be the one to set them free," Daisy Number Seven said.
Then, Daisy walked forward, letting go of Dennis’s hand and leaving him standing alone. "Shiiing," a massive, long black scythe appeared in Daisy’s hand as she approached the four ghosts, who remained still, staring down at the floor in one direction. Dennis slowly stepped forward toward Daisy, his heart full of questions. He was still thinking about what Daisy had said while she was possessed—the plea for him to help free this world from darkness, a task that seed impossible.
"? I have to free this world from darkness? What does that even an?" Dennis asked himself.
"Clack," Dennis heard a sound in front of him. He saw Daisy crouching, using her scythe as a support to stand. Dennis approached her and looked at what she was staring at. He was shocked to see an open hatch in the floor that led directly to a sea that looked dark and thick; a fishy, tallic stench wafted up from inside.
"Huh... how can that lead straight to the ocean?" Dennis asked.
"Like I said, this villa isn’t from this dinsion. I’m going to set it free. Step back a bit, dear," Daisy replied, standing up and gripping her scythe.
Dennis stood up and backed away. The four ghosts also floated over to stand beside Dennis, making his skin crawl as he swallowed hard, trying his best not to let his imagination run wild. Daisy spun her scythe and wiped the blade, causing it to glow with a brilliant light. Then, she plunged the scythe into the hole in the floor and "kyaaaaa," the screams of a massive crowd erupted from the hole, echoing throughout the entire villa.
The atmosphere was chilling and horrific, exactly like being inside a horror movie about an exorcism. A pillar of reddish-black light blasted out of the hole like a column, and countless shadows of terrifying faces—n and won who looked like demons—poured out of the opening.
They tore through the ceiling and kept going, piercing through the do that shielded Erald City. Dennis could only watch in silence, while the ghosts huddled close to him as if clinging to him, even though their hands passed right through his body.
Before long, all the evil spirits or demons inside the hole shot out, soaring along with the pillar of light, which gradually thinned and then disappeared completely. Daisy pulled her scythe out of the hole, and instantly, the opening vanished, turning back into the floor. Dennis looked relieved, but suddenly he felt a chill. Slowly, he turned to look to his side and then behind him.
It wasn’t just the original four ghosts standing near him; behind him, there was a massive crowd of ghosts—young girls and boys, teenage n and won, and several adults. There were hundreds of them, so tightly packed that their bodies seed to rge into a blur, leaving only their heads clearly visible.
"Whoaaah," Dennis cried out, spinning around and backing away.
But as Dennis looked closely at the faces of the ghosts, he realized they looked relieved and were smiling. Their bodies began to glow, and one by one, they turned into orbs of light like fireflies, floating up toward the sky and passing through the roof.
"They are free now. The emotions and grudges that bound them have all been released, so they can finally go ho to heaven," Daisy said, standing beside Dennis.
"I see... yeah... thank goodness," Dennis said, his heart still pounding as he tried his best to process the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Daisy Number Seven held Dennis’s hand and leaned against him as she made her massive scythe vanish. They simply watched the spirits before them turn into orbs of light and float into the air after bowing to thank the two of them. When only the two won and the two little girls from earlier remained, Dennis realized that the spirit of the teenage girl smiling in front of him looked exactly like Daisy. He turned to look at Daisy and then back at the spirit.
"Daisy, is she...?" Dennis asked.
"Yes, she is my older sister. She disappeared when she was 13, and she was the one who called and borrowed my body just now. But as far as I know... I don’t have any siblings. We all hold the mories of Number One, the primary. To be honest, I don’t understand it myself," Daisy answered.
Dennis was instantly shocked. He turned to look at Daisy and noticed his wife was still staring ahead, watching the four spirits who seed to be talking to her.
"Hold on, could it be that she also cos from the sa dinsion as ? It’s possible. I don’t actually rember myself, but I can still feel that sothing is different because I played that ga and I understand that this world is a ga world mixed with reality," Dennis muttered inside his head. "Earlier, when your body was being borrowed, do you rember what you said?" Dennis asked.
"It’s a bit fuzzy. I understand the situation, but I don’t rember exactly. Why?" Daisy asked.
"Do you rember saying that these ghosts co from another dinsion? The sa dinsion as ?" Dennis asked.
"Hmm... I know they co from another dinsion, but do you really co from another dinsion, dear?" Daisy Number Seven asked.
"Hmm... I see. Of course I co from this dinsion, don’t worry about it," Dennis said. "So that’s how it is. She doesn’t rember what she said, but she knows... this is strange, and it looks like I need to look into this, because I know Daisy existed in my previous dinsion, even if I don’t rember it clearly and I don’t know if she’s right or not—she rembers having an older sister in the previous dinsion," Dennis said inside his head.
After the four ghosts in front of them turned into orbs of light, floated into the air, and disappeared through the roof, the entire villa fell back into darkness. But this ti, the atmosphere wasn’t suffocating like before; instead, it felt clean, though still uncomfortable because of the emptiness.
"Co on, let’s go ho," Daisy Number Seven suggested.
"Yeah, let’s go," Dennis replied.
They walked out of the villa. As Dennis walked, he took a mont to turn back and look at the entire building from the outside. Of course, he now recognized the striped building behind him; it clearly originated from an island in his previous dinsion owned by a pedophile and human trafficker.
That criminal had been caught and was believed to have died in prison, though it wasn’t certain because there were still signs he was alive, and the man had an incredibly powerful network that remained untraced. Dennis started walking again while holding hands with Daisy Number Seven, who seed cheerful and relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
"She’s back to her old self and has forgotten everything... Number Seven is truly strange. I have no idea what will happen next, but because of this, it looks like I have to start finding out more about this world. To be honest, there’s a knot in my gut that makes uncomfortable. I have to know what Daisy and I are actually up against right now in this world," Dennis said in his heart.
"Dear," Daisy Number Seven said, calling out to Dennis.
When Dennis turned his head, Daisy suddenly lunged forward and kissed him right on the lips. Of course, Dennis caught her by the waist. Then, Dennis slowly pulled away from the kiss and stared at Daisy,
"Hey, what if soone sees us?" Dennis asked.
"It’s fine, isn’t it? It’s deserted. Um... how about over there?" Daisy asked, pointing toward the bushes. Her intention was crystal clear.
"Hah... don’t be ridiculous. Just be patient until we get back to the room," Dennis answered.
"I can’t. I want to do it now. Co on, dear," Daisy Number Seven urged.
"Man... you’re sothing else," Dennis muttered, confused as he glanced to his left and right.
But suddenly, Daisy kissed him again, and this ti it truly made Dennis’s mind go blank from the heat of her kiss. Eventually, one thing led to another even though they were still on the path, and they quickly hid behind the bushes at the side of the road.
