"But, it seems like I don't need to wear anything else with the nightgown, right? It does seem to be much easier to put on and take off, though."
The words that faintly entered her ears made Chizuru Yuzen's pupils shrink, and she suddenly pulled her pajamas tighter.
After suddenly realizing the problem with her attire, she subconsciously wanted to change out of the nightgown immediately. However, with countless pairs of eyes staring at her at this moment, it was obviously not the time to go back and change clothes.
So, in this extremely uncomfortable situation, she had to keep her face stiff, pull the waist rope tightly and tie it into a knot, then she took her first steps and walked towards the house where Ji Hui lived.
After all, this shrine is her home, so when she walked over, the magical girls surrounding the house subconsciously retreated as her faces turned ashen due to her tenseness, leaving a passage, which they then closed again after Chizuru Hazen approached.
But even so, their whispered words are still being conveyed quietly.
Because the magical girls who came today were more mature and not so shy about many things, so they were not so entangled in the content of their discussions. Even many magical girls who were embarrassed to express their true thoughts, although they still held their wands tightly in their hands and looked towards the door, had their ears fully perked up, paying attention to the whispers that made them blush and their hearts beat fast, but they could not help but listen carefully.
Enduring the burning gaze that was extremely clear even from behind, Chizuru Hazen couldn't help but knock on the door and spoke.
"Ji Hui, Ji Hui, are you in the room?"
Fortunately, the only thing to be thankful for is that Ji Hui did not directly conflict with the magical girls, but stayed in the room honestly without moving. In this way, he could directly take him to his workplace, so that he would not have to worry about being attacked by the magical girls for the time being.
However, after knocking on the door again and finding no response at all, Chizuru Hazen couldn't help but frown.
Speaking of which, with such a big scene, Funado Rika should have already gotten up, or come to seek shelter from me, so I didn't hear any movement from her side.
The bad premonition made her put her hand on the door and try to turn it tentatively.
However, without much effort, the entire door moved up at once, revealing the empty space inside to Chizuru Hazen and the surprised magical girls behind her.
empty?
Where did Ji Hui go?
Chizuru Hazen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the other side of the sliding door, but found that he was not there either.
"He's not here?" "Why not?" "Did he run away?" "That shouldn't be the case. We've been waiting here since five in the morning."
That scene caused the magical girls behind her to start talking among themselves. Even many of the magical girls who were watching from a distance flew over and looked at the empty room in disbelief.
After all, this is Chizuru Yuzen's home. If they just push the door open and break in, it would be trespassing. Therefore, they did not push the door open directly before this, but prepared to wait for Ji Hui to get up and open the door before saying anything else.
But it was empty? Could it be that the demon from outside the realm had already prepared for starvation the night before and had escaped beforehand?
The idea that emerged from their hearts also made some magical girls fly up immediately and start chasing down the mountain, looking for Ji Hui's trace.
The other magical girls were still in shock. Seeing Chizuru Hazen had been searching for a long time but to no avail, they didn't know what to say for a moment and could only look at each other in bewilderment. It was not right to leave, nor was it right to stay.
"that"
However, the sudden male voice coming from the square made everyone turn their heads and look at the young man holding something in his hand.
He was wearing a courier's uniform and standing in front of the shrine's torii gate. He seemed to be frightened by their gaze, and there was a hint of embarrassment and fear on his face.
Is there some kind of cosplay convention going on here?
"Excuse me, is Ms. Chizuru Hazen here?"
What happened? Why did the courier
Chizuru Hazen thought subconsciously in her heart, but then her eyes widened, and the steps that had just come to the front suddenly stiffened.
Her eyes were fixed on the torn package in the courier's hand.
From it, a slight lace pattern also emerged.
"Here is a package for you. We are sorry that it has been slightly damaged due to the rough transportation. So why don't you open it in person and check its integrity? If it is damaged, you can return it or exchange it. You can also waive the shipping fee."
"no need!"
"And you! Get out of my house! Now!"
The next moment, Chizuru Hazen's sharp voice resounded throughout the shrine, frightening the birds living in the woods and causing them to fly away in panic.
"Brother Sean, what do you think of this?"
As the entire shrine fell into chaos, the young man huddled in the haystack, holding the scoreboard in his hand, looked at Sean beside him with some embarrassment.
"call"
Sean said nothing, but just lit a cigarette for himself silently.
He seemed to have said nothing, but the young man felt that he had said everything.
Chapter 96: The House of Strong Words
"Now can you tell me the purpose of your coming here?"
Looking at Ji Hui sitting across the table, Duncan also frowned and asked.
After taking a look at Funado Rika, who was feeling uneasy beside Ji Hui, he continued speaking.
"If it's just about Funado Rika's issue, I think it would be enough to just ask other members."
What's more, he took the initiative to come over and say that he had a conflict with a magical girl last night, which was equivalent to not intending to hide the fact that he had attacked the magical girl during the period yesterday.
How come he suddenly became so high-profile and his style is completely different from before?
While Duncan was speculating in his mind, Ji Hui took a sip of tea and slowly spoke.
"You'd better not waste your energy here. The information you want is not here."
His words made Duncan's hand, which had just picked up the water cup, suddenly stop in the air. His eyes narrowed as he stared at Ji Hui's calm expression.
"You took them?"
"After all, I thought the contents seemed quite important, so before running off with Chizuru Hazen to destroy the outer demon, I found a place to hide in case of emergency."
Ji Hui leaned back on the chair and spoke leisurely.
"Looking back now, I was quite wise at that time."
His gaze slowly shifted, looking at the Anjianyuan employees busying around in the camp not far from the tent.
This was once Ji Hui's temporary residence. He had to evacuate here in a hurry due to the attack of the extraterritorial demons. It was an abandoned camp that originally belonged to the Dark Mace Garden.
However, now, many members have settled here, even Duncan, the boss of the Dark Mace Garden branch who should have left directly, is staying here.
As for their goal, it is naturally the research results that have been achieved here.
However, Ji Hui, who had already looked for these contents at the time, hid them in another place just in case.
"Are you threatening us?"
Duncan's voice became a little colder, which made Funado Rika behind Ji Hui shiver. She silently shrank into the ground, with only her head exposed, looking uneasily at the two men sitting on both sides of the table.
She was suddenly woken up by Ji Hui early in the morning, and he told her to go somewhere for help, and dragged her here. Then, without knowing what was going on, she watched them become like this.
However, neither Ji Hui nor Duncan seemed to care about Rika Funado at the moment, and just stared at each other silently.
"Don't give me that shit. You should know why I came all the way here. Instead of trying to threaten me to relax the conditions, why don't you consider making sure the hard work of the employees isn't wasted?"
Although Duncan's cold gaze was very oppressive under his ferocious appearance, Ji Hui didn't care at all and continued to speak.
"I'm a very easy-going person, but I'm also very difficult to talk to when things are difficult to talk to. So, can we be practical? It's only the second day of my probationary period, and I don't want to be late."
"You probably don't plan on using that camp, right? Could you please leave it to me? In exchange, I can give you the information. It's of no use to me anyway."
“What do you want with that building?”
Duncan's frown deepened. Although it was just a piece of land, it was in the wilderness after all. If it wasn't for the need to hide it from the eyes of others, it wouldn't cost much to sell it on its own. It wasn't considered a particularly valuable item.
However, the other party insisted on having this thing. It can't be that he wants to use it as a home, right?
But who would live in such a big house? After all, if you want a place to live, wouldn’t it be better to just ask for a luxury suite in an apartment?
No, wait, if it's not just for yourself
Looking at Funado Rika behind Ji Hui, Duncan suddenly reacted.
He could see that although Ji Hui in front of him possessed such a vulgar ability, he still had a strong sense of justice.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to resolve this extraterritorial demon incident.
And what happened last night must have angered him. After all, what happened to the female ghost was very similar to his experience, but it was even more difficult to accept.
It's normal for him to want to do something to change the situation.
"You want to take in those demons?"
"It can't be said to be sheltering. I just want to help those wicked people a little when they do immoral things to innocent people."
Ji Hui said casually, causing Funado Rika behind him to widen her eyes slightly and look at Ji Hui's back in surprise.
"Those demons usually live in various wild areas anyway, right? Having a large compound to manage wouldn't be a bad thing for you, right?"
"But you seem to have overlooked one thing."
After a moment of silence, Duncan slowly spoke.
"By acting in this way, you are creating for yourself a force with combat power that can bring danger to us and the magical girls."
"Perhaps you can whitewash it with slogans about helping and rescuing, or even protecting it from persecution by those badly behaved magical girls. However, if one day you treat it as your own army, or even allow it to be led by the Extraterritorial Demons, and launch another action like this one, the harm you will cause us will be far greater than that of an ordinary Extraterritorial Demon."
"Um, yeah, so what?"
However, Ji Hui did not hesitate at all and asked back confidently, looking at Duncan's gaze at him without any fear.
"Even if I were to do this, to create a force that could intimidate Doan Kaneen and the magical girls, so what?"
"Don't try to plead with me like you're forcing a boyfriend to make a promise. I'm not asking for your opinion, nor am I begging for your consent."
"If you can't bring fairness and justice to yourselves and can only turn a blind eye and let those good people bear the risks, then don't blame me for doing it myself."
"You're a little too strong."
After a moment of silence, Duncan slowly spoke, causing Ji Hui's mouth to curl slightly.
"Unfortunately, if I hadn't been more assertive, I would have died when I was still a little kid."
"You'd better understand what you're talking about. What you've created will only bring us greater hidden dangers and threats. Perhaps we're not perfect in some areas, but at the very least, we won't allow an organization that could potentially cause an even greater crisis to act recklessly and brazenly before us."
"So, are you going to give up?"
However, Ji Hui's arm, which was resting on the table, moved forward slightly, causing his body to lean forward slightly. His eyes were also fixed on Duncan, and he asked with a smile.
"Do you want to just break off the negotiations and fight me to the death? Or do you want to seize this hard-earned opportunity, connect me, an outlandish demon, and all your research on demons, and happily and easily find other ways to enhance humanity?"
Chapter 97 Investment
"Don't make any mistake. We have more people on our side than you do. Even if we conduct a thorough search, we will eventually be able to collect those manuscripts."
Seeing Ji Hui leaning forward and pressing down on him, Duncan slowly spoke.
However, Ji Hui just tilted his head slightly and asked back with a smile.
"How many days is it?"
"You should know that I, being penniless, wouldn't hide it in a safe. It's been raining these past two days, and by the time you find it, the contents might already be completely unreadable."
"Anyway, for me, the pursuit of magical girls has never stopped. Even if you continue to issue orders to subjugate them, it will make no difference. It's just a broken jar."
"If I'm really pushed to that point, I wouldn't mind running headfirst into the magic bullet and getting blown to pieces without even leaving a corpse behind."
"After all, I'm doomed no matter what. You, on the other hand, finally have a demon from outer space that you can communicate with and help you safely explore its power. But you've wasted it. Don't you think it's a pity?"
Looking at Duncan who had fallen silent in front of him, Ji Hui paused and then spoke.
"Besides, if you're willing to tear each other apart, I have no objection. But while I'm running away, if I tell you that I wanted to help those kind beings, but you stopped me and even wanted to destroy me, maybe many of those magical girls will turn around and help me."
"Do you really believe that those magical girls who act for GPA and wishes are as kind as you imagine?"
Duncan asked slowly, causing Ji Hui to chuckle softly as he stepped back and folded his hands on the table.
"I just firmly believe that most of them won't be that bad."
"Not only magical girls, but also Ankanen, demons, and the vast majority of humans in this world, I believe this."
He sat up a little straighter, straightened his back, and his tone became serious.
"I can't guarantee anything, and there's nothing I can guarantee. I just express my thoughts and what I want to do, that's all."
"If you agree, then everyone is happy. If you don't agree, I'll just use a different approach."
"But you'd better not regard my decision as a negotiation or pleading. I'm not interested in accepting your compromise."
After saying this, Ji Hui also stood up, moved his chair away, and spoke to Duncan.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. I have to go to work. Feel free to call me whenever you feel like it. If you want to be unethical and just kill me in my cradle, I don't mind, but you'd better think it over carefully."
After leaving these words, Ji Hui walked out directly, and asked Funado Rika to float behind him, leaving Duncan alone in the tent.
