Just use Union.
{1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 8, 8, 9} // Union
{1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9}
If your elements are not in sorted order and you want to keep them in the
same order, then look at the UnsortedUnion example in the Union Help
Examples.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have an idea to drop the repeating elements in one list?
The list was built in sequence,fortunately.
for example,
from a={1,1,2,2,4,6,6,8,8,9}
to a1={1,2,4,6,8,9}
The purpose is to avoid the one-to-many mapping problem in my case.
