So this time Ji Hui didn't dare to let her do anything more important. He just arranged for her to go to the kitchen to wash dishes. He gritted his teeth and put on a forced smile again, facing those magical girls with scrutinizing and weird looks.

Fortunately, after gradually getting used to this situation, Ji Hui simply regarded it as a part of his job, and soon immersed himself in the busyness, letting time pass little by little, and eventually the sky outside also became dim.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Ji Hui."

It was not until there were only a few customers left in the cafe that Yu Mingxue looked at the time. When she found that it was almost time, she smiled and said to Ji Hui, who was now free.

"Let's stop here today. There won't be many guests coming. Yingying and I are enough. You should go home and get some rest."

Her words made Ji Hui, who also looked at the time and realized it was almost time, nod slightly without refusing too much.

"In that case, I'll leave work first. Miss Yuming has worked hard today."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Yu Mingxue gently shook her palm, and Ji Hui changed back into his regular clothes in the locker room. After saying goodbye to her, he left the cafe and walked outside to the street illuminated by street lights.

"call"

After leaving the warm room, Ji Hui couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. While feeling the cool chill that made his mind a little clearer, he also let the white steam slowly rise and dissipate upwards.

First day of work, not bad, right?

However, tomorrow is the real focus. After all, after tonight, those magical girls will no longer sit there and do nothing like they did today.

Even this night journey will not be much safer in the future.

Ji Hui sighed, put his hands in his pockets in the cold evening breeze, and began to move his steps, walking step by step towards the Yuzen Shrine.

After I get my first month's salary, I should officially find a house to live in.

Chapter 86 The Roar of Night

Because the world now is no longer the reality where there is nothing, Ji Hui is no longer as relaxed and comfortable as before when walking at night. Although he looks no different, his eyes unconsciously scan the surroundings, fearing that a terrifying thing will suddenly jump out at any time.

Being capable is one thing, but being afraid is another.

But speaking of

Recalling the scene when he first met the girl named Funado Rika, Ji Hui couldn't help but mutter to himself in his heart.

I don't know if this incident of the extraterritorial demon has had any impact on those monsters. After all, judging from the frightened look on the little girl's face, even the monsters don't like the Broken Star Palace at all.

But after all, I have only seen a female ghost once. Most of the time, I heard about their deeds from Chizuru Hazen's oral narration.

To put it bluntly, they are more like the monsters that appear in various legends, such as cat demons, ghosts, fox spirits, vampires, etc., just like the monsters that appear in various film and television dramas, except that there are good and bad ones, and the bad ones are the majority. Otherwise, there would not be the existence of a clan of exorcists like Chizuru Hanezame.

But it's no wonder that the research institute locked up Funado Rika and other demons. They might be thinking that directly studying the local power would be easier than studying the power of the foreign demons. Although they were all killed in the Eye Demon accident this time,

But if I could communicate like that female ghost, maybe chatting with demons wouldn't be bad, or even doing business with them would be okay, right? As long as they didn't do anything like jumpscare, I hated being startled.

Although he was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, Ji Hui couldn't help but shrink his neck and wrap his coat tighter in the evening breeze that became colder as the night deepened.

Compared to when I first came to this world, the weather seems to have become a little colder.

Thinking of this, Er Jihui couldn't help but feel fortunate that he was now living in Sanyu Ran Qianwuzuru's house and had status and money.

If it were still like before, I would probably freeze to death on the street. This kind of weather is not something you can just steal some bedding and find a crappy place to stay.

However, it has been a long time since I felt like shivering in the cold wind and looking forward to the warm bed after returning home.

Thinking about teasing Yuzen Kana after returning home, and then chatting with Yuzen Chizuru, talking about their feelings about the first day at work today, Ji Hui couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.

Although I was actually staying in someone else's house, the feeling of sharing a house with friends was something I longed for as I had lived almost entirely alone since my grandfather passed away.

Well, we can probably be considered friends, right? Even though there were a few minor incidents along the way that cost over 100 million.

But no matter what, having a place to go back to and someone to chat with was already a luxury for my previous self.

If there is a chance, why not let Chizuru Yuzen and the others come to the store as well? If you tell Yu Mingxue, the cost of their meal can be deducted directly from your salary.

Thinking of this, Ji Hui's face gradually showed a smile unconsciously.

boom----

However, the low humming sound coming from afar made his expression freeze, and his whole body instinctively tensed up, and he looked around vigilantly.

That was a completely instinctive reaction on his part, because in his previous life of survival, every time this low humming sound was heard, it meant that a magical girl wanted to take his life.

In that situation, he had already developed PTSD to this kind of noise. Sometimes, when Chizuru Hazen used fireballs to burn the swept fallen leaves, he would suddenly wake up in the house.

After staring at the surrounding woods that had turned completely dark for a while, and finding nothing unusual, Ji Hui couldn't help but frown.

But soon, the roar of magic sounded again, and this time the distance seemed to be even closer than before.

What was going on? It wasn't even the time he and Anjianyuan had agreed to release the restrictions yet, and there was no way those magical girls didn't know that.

Could it be that they were dealing with the fallen demons? That wasn't right. Fallen demons lived in the Gray Realm and wouldn't happen in reality. Logically, I shouldn't be able to hear the noise of their battle.

It's impossible that he's just sharpening his knife and threatening me in preparation for killing me tomorrow, right?

He muttered to himself, and then couldn't help but quicken his pace slightly, continuing to walk towards the Hazen Shrine.

No matter what, as long as the deadline is still there, they will not attack me. Instead of worrying about these things, I should go back to bed early and prepare for work tomorrow. After all, tomorrow night will not be as leisurely as it is now.

However, the roar of magic became louder and louder, making Ji Hui feel more and more uneasy. He turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound.

What the hell is going on this late at night?

Although the location of the Hazen Shrine is relatively remote, so he is currently in the woods far away from the downtown area, but this commotion seems a bit too loud, doesn't it?

Thinking of this, Ji Hui frowned even deeper, and began to wonder if he should take a detour.

However, the sudden flicker of light from deep in the woods made his originally solemn expression turn into surprise.

“Aa ...

Moreover, when the familiar scream was heard and he finally saw that the faint light was from Rika Funado who was floating towards him in panic, Ji Hui's expression turned into complete astonishment.

"Eh!? How could you?!"

The other party had obviously seen her, and her face also became surprised. However, the spark that suddenly lit up behind her suddenly exploded the next moment, causing her to be blown away by the air wave while screaming in pain, and crashed straight into her, causing Ji Hui to subconsciously reach out and hold her in his arms.

"Hey, are you okay? What's going on? Is someone chasing you?"

Feeling the strange sense of weight under the other ghost's body as if he was holding a light balloon, Ji Hui couldn't help but ask anxiously.

“Save…save me!”

With a painful expression, Rika Funado slowly raised her head and looked at Ji Hui pleadingly, which made Ji Hui slightly stunned.

In front of the woods where they were, a magical girl dressed in gorgeous clothes slowly revealed her figure.

Chapter 87: Earn Extra Money

"Who are you"

Looking at the young woman who was probably in her twenties and could already be considered a magic lady, Ji Hui couldn't help but frown even deeper.

However, the painful groans from Rika Funadotari in his arms made him lower his head and look at the few scars on her body, which was emitting a faint fluorescent light.

It seemed that due to the damage caused by magic, even her white dress had been stained with a little burn marks, making her look much more miserable.

"Are you okay? How badly injured? Is it serious?"

“It’s… okay, but…”

Rika Funado, who had recovered a little, nodded slightly, but her face still showed fear and terror, and there was a hint of help in her eyes when she looked at Ji Hui.

⊙8△“⊙5∨那个求求你}7√,帮帮≤1⌒我↗5∑.≯7~...≯0∝她~!8/想≡8#$杀≮宭∝了我”

While she was talking to Ji Hui, the magical girl seemed to have seen Ji Hui's appearance. After widening her eyes in slight surprise, she soon became a little unhappy.

"Why did it have to be him?"

After muttering something in a low voice, her voice became a little louder and she shouted at Ji Hui.

"Hey, Outer Demon, get out of the way! There's still some time before the restrictions on your subjugation are lifted."

Her voice made Rika Funado's body tremble slightly, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Ji Hui became more helpless, which made Ji Hui's expression become more serious. Looking at the magical girl who seemed to be impatient and tapped her palm with the magic wand in her hand, she asked.

"You want to kill her? Why? Did she do something bad?"

"Ah, she's a demon and has crossed the line. I'm just following orders and coming to defeat her."

Seeing that Ji Hui did not leave immediately, her expression became even more unhappy, but she still suppressed the resentment in her heart and explained to Ji Hui.

"Now you can move aside and don't hinder me from completing the commission."

Before he could say anything, the deeper force from the palm on his arm made Ji Hui lower his head and look at Rika Funado who shook her head with a wronged expression with some tears in her eyes.

"I didn't. She suddenly came over and wanted to kill me. I didn't do anything and I don't know what the commission was."

"Hey, can you please leave now?"

The magical girl seemed to have reached her limit of patience, and her anger grew even stronger in her words.

"Although the Dark Mace Court has forbidden any action against you in the next few days, if you actively interfere with our work, that would be a different matter. Or do you intend to be punished now?"

Her words, which were clearly threatening, made Ji Hui's face darken a little.

After silently looking at Rika Funadotari, who seemed to be very frightened, in his arms for a while, he stood up, held her up with his hands, and slowly spoke.

"I can leave, but I need to know first whether Anjianyuan has issued any commission regarding this girl. I'll go to their place to verify it first."

After saying that, he also started to move forward, ready to take Rika Funado directly to the headquarters of Anjianyuan.

However, before he could take a step, a purple light swept over and left a scorch mark on the ground a few meters in front of him, making Ji Hui's expression completely gloomy.

"What do you mean?"

"Let me make it clear first, I'm only attacking the air. Where you go is your own problem. I have no intention of actually attacking you."

"Besides, there are no people from the Dark Mace Garden around here. You'd better consider your own strength before speaking."

The magical girl held the staff in her hand and laughed coldly.

"Also, put that little ghost down quickly. This has nothing to do with you. If you want to be punished, you can wait until tomorrow, but for now, stay out of my way."

"So, you really wanted to kill her for no reason, right?"

He patted Rika Funado gently, motioning her to go around behind him, and Ji Hui's tone also became cold.

"Huh? Defeat it and you'll get points, isn't that a reason?"

The magical girl tilted her head, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in her eyes, as if she was mocking Ji Hui for being a country bumpkin.

"It's not much, but it's enough to fulfill some small wishes. I skipped work for several days just to defeat you. A little extra money isn't too much, right? Or would you, an extraterritorial demon, be willing to let me kill you and help me fulfill my big wish?"

"Earn extra money?"

Ji Hui's palms clenched slightly, and his eyes were filled with a hint of coldness.

"You call killing an innocent ghost making extra money?"

"It's not like you're killing someone. Besides, the girl behind you is already dead. What's wrong with sending her to heaven early?"

She couldn't help but sneer and spoke with the air of someone who had experienced it.

"Besides, most demons harm people. Killing one or two of them would contribute to world peace. Who knows if the ghost behind you has ever harmed anyone else?"

“I…I didn’t.”

Rika Funado seemed to want to refute, but under her fear, her weak voice could only be heard by Ji Hui in front of her.

The magical girl didn't seem to stop. She just looked at Rika Funado with contempt and continued speaking.

"After all, the person behind you is already dead. What's wrong with a dead person lending a little value to the living?"

Ji Hui didn't say anything. He just let out a long sigh and then looked at the magical girl in front of him with his calm eyes.

And his silence made the magical girl raise her eyebrows.

"You're not really angry, are you? Just for a ghost? Come on, Outer Devil, I'm caring about the dead who are enjoying their peace and quiet. Who will care about me, a living person who is still busy every day? I've done my best to let her go without pain."

"That's it, I understand."

Ji Hui spoke slowly, and slowly raised his hand to place it on the side of his glasses.

His action also made the magical girl's face turn completely cold, and she pointed the tip of the staff at his chest.

"Do you really want to attack me? You'd better understand that the moment you attack me, your order to punish me will be completely lifted. You won't even have the chance to enjoy your last night."

"Don't worry about it. No one will know."

A faint smile slowly appeared on Ji Hui's face, and he took off his glasses.

"After all, like you said, as long as no one finds out, no one will know I did these things, including yourself."
