The Eye Demon Doesn't Die from the Magical Girl

Think carefully

After a long time, Duncan couldn't help but sigh.

That demon from outside the realm was really reckless, completely different from the cautious attitude he displayed during the first conversation.

No, he just felt it was unnecessary at the time, so he kept a low profile.

It's not that he doesn't know the extent of his abilities. On the contrary, he is a smart man and knows his abilities and the effects he can achieve too well. That's why he conceals his edge and makes himself appear as harmless as possible, not making enemies with any of them, in order to demonstrate his goodwill.

He understands the negative interpersonal effects of his abilities and image, so he tries to be low-key and harmless as much as possible to show his goodwill and avoid misunderstanding and discrimination from others.

But now, he no longer minds showing off his edge and has begun to actively become a "thorn in the flesh".

This is obviously not a good thing, because he no longer needs to consider the attitude of these people towards him. He only needs to maintain a minimum level of respect. This means that if necessary, he doesn't mind using more brutal means to satisfy his plan.

But the trigger for this change was just a magical girl attacking a demon?

Duncan thought silently in his heart, and picked up the documents on his desk that had been temporarily put aside because of Ji Hui's arrival.

There are a lot of information and reports on it about the magical girls who rushed to Yanming City because of the extraterritorial demon incident.

Among them, there are many written reports on recent emergency commissions to eliminate demons.

At the very top was a data chart showing a comparison of the situation before and after their arrival, where incidents involving demonic rebellion had suddenly increased two or three times.

That data was obviously abnormal, but even if we just investigated, we couldn't find anything.

After all, even the demon involved has been eliminated, and they can only rely on the magical girl's words. What else can they investigate?

"Xing Yi."

He shouted loudly, causing the tent curtain to be lifted and a young man to come in.

"Let the other members put down their work. Those files are no longer in there."

"Ah? Ah... I understand."

Although he didn't know how Duncan knew it, the young man called Xing Yi nodded quickly and prepared to run towards the camp.

"Wait a moment!"

However, before he could take a step, Duncan immediately stopped him, and in his confused eyes, he continued to speak.

"Have them move out everything that's still usable, including computers, desks, and other items, except for the infrastructure that can't be removed. Then call in the construction team and raze the entire camp."

"Huh? Why, Mr. Duncan? Even if the camp is to be abandoned, it doesn't need to be completely razed, right?"

Xing Yi asked with a puzzled look on her face, causing Duncan to shake his head slightly.

"After all, that building is used for office purposes, not for living. We can only tear it down first and then have the construction team rebuild it."

"Build? Wait, there's no way anyone would develop real estate in this remote area except us, right? Wouldn't that mean we'd lose a ton of money?"

After hearing Duncan's completely irrelevant words, Xing Yi became even more confused and couldn't help but speak.

"Yeah, if it's for ordinary people to live in, there's really no need to force them to stay here."

Duncan also stood up and walked out of the tent while speaking, looking at the busy members in the camp.

"Mr. Duncan, what exactly did that extraterritorial demon tell you?"

Xing Yi, who had caught up with him, hesitated for a moment before asking, causing Duncan to turn his head and answer slowly.

"Yes, if I had to say it, it should be about a long-term investment."

Chapter 98 Breaking the Window Paper

"that"

After hesitating for a long time, Funado Rika couldn't help but speak and asked Ji Hui who was walking down the mountain.

"Are all the things you just said true? Are you really planning to build a shelter for the demons?"

"Of course, didn't you hear everything just now?"

Ji Hui also said casually. After glancing at the time on his phone, he estimated the time it would take him to get to the coffee shop, and his pace couldn't help but quicken a little.

"But why did you suddenly come up with such an idea? If you help me, you can at least say that you know me. But why would you help those who you don't even know?"

"Because I want to stay together for warmth. That way, when the magical girls attack me, I'll have a scapegoat and a stepping stone. This will make my chances of escaping successfully better than if I were alone."

Ji Hui answered casually, and after looking back at Rika Funado who was frowning and looking completely unconvinced, he shrugged his shoulders.

"Look, I took the initiative to give a more realistic reason, but you didn't believe it again."

"I just didn't expect you to make that decision."

Looking at Ji Hui who had refocused his attention on his journey, Funado Rika sighed and spoke.

"Are you really going to help us demons fight those magical girls?"

"It's not you demons, and it's not just magical girls."

After jumping off a rock, Ji Hui patted himself and spoke casually.

"I just want to create an environment where everyone can live peacefully regardless of their racial identity."

"No matter which side you are on, if you do something bad here, you'll get a good beating. More debts are better than nothing, and it doesn't matter if a few more magical girls come and hate me."

"But this isn't just a city-wide phenomenon anymore. It's a world-wide phenomenon. You can't solve it all by yourself."

"Nonsense, of course I know I can't solve all of them. I might not even be able to defeat all the magical girls in a city. I don't even have enough money to travel around the world."

However, the next moment, Ji Hui's words blurted out made Funado Rika stunned and she was unable to react for a while.

"Ah, what about Dad?"

"No, are you mistaken about something? Why do I have to solve the problem immediately and completely just because I raise it?"

Looking at her silly look, Ji Hui couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I just plan to protect the little piece of land around me. Anyone who wants to find peace can come over, and anyone who wants to cause trouble every day can get out. It's that simple."

"Well, isn't that no different from now?"

“There’s no difference.”

Ji Hui spread his hands in a very frivolous manner, which made Funado Rika's expression even more tangled.

However, before she could say anything, Ji Hui spoke again.

"But the important thing is that having this title is enough."

"This is a signal. An extraterritorial demon has broken through the window paper and wants to help those bullied demons and other beings create a shelter. This information alone is enough to have an effect."

"Perhaps the rumors will spread that an extraterritorial demon is trying to trick the demons into building a rebellion, but at least for those who are closer to here, the reason behind this incident is definitely known in detail."

"I don't know how many of these magical girls agree with and support my ideas, but I don't have to worry about those who dare to come and take action for their own interests."

"Uh so"

Seeing Rika Funado's still confused expression, Ji Hui couldn't help but sigh.

"I say, you've lived for so many years, how come you can't see this?"

"Nonsense! I was only 18 when I died, and I've never had a permanent place to live. How could I have gained any experience or knowledge?"

Feeling Ji Hui's contempt, Rika Funado couldn't help but curl her lips and complained in a low voice.

"What's more, even though I'm a ghost, I still have to study and do homework. Is there any justice in the world?"

Ji Hui, not knowing what to say, twitched his lips and decided to skip the topic and started explaining directly.

"What's important isn't how far you can go in the end, but getting started. Do you understand?"

"It doesn't matter how far or how much we can control, because after all, we are just individuals and it's impossible for us to be all-powerful."

"However, our actions can also let those who are dissatisfied with the status quo and want to change but are hesitant know that there are people working towards this goal."

"Even if they can't completely and directly oppose this behavior, at least they can support us and not be disgusted with us, which is enough."

"Even if it's just a helpful reminder, or a friendly exchange, or making things easier for us and those who might join us in the future as we live in this world, it's already truly changing the status quo."

As Ji Hui spoke, he muttered ≈:,$Looking at Funado Rika's confused look, he said with a smile.

"There are more ways to change the world than just fighting and killing. Don't spend all your time thinking about overturning the world by yourself."

"But, but this assumes that other people do have a good attitude towards this matter."

Rika Funado couldn't help but stop talking, and her eyes suddenly widened.

——I just firmly believe that most of them will not be so bad.

So that's what he meant when he said that vicious man.

"Do you really believe it can succeed? Those magical girls have been around for a long time, and nothing has changed."

"After all, fighting between magical girls is a taboo, so it's naturally not convenient to attack one of the same kind."

Ji Hui said proudly as he took his steps.

"But don't forget, I'm an extraterritorial demon. It's not convenient for them to attack, but it is for me."

"Since those scumbags are acting recklessly by relying on their status as magical girls who save the world, don't blame me, the outer demon, for coming to teach them a lesson."

"Why do you trust the kindness of strangers so much?"

Rika Funado's mumbling also made Ji Hui raise his hand and point at her.

"Are you still alive now?"

"Yes, although I am in ghost form, I am still alive."

In the face of Rika Funado's puzzled look, Ji Hui pointed at himself again.

"Am I still alive now?"

"Uh"

"Isn't this proof?"

In the face of Rika Funado's even more confused gaze, Ji Hui smiled and turned away without explaining anything.

Chapter 99 Wandering Ghost

"Hello? Ah, Chizuru, I'm over here in the Green Mountain area. Did you see the letter on the table?"

"Um, sorry, I ran out early. I was afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to just go into your room, so I used a note and text message instead."

"Oh, oh, okay, it's okay. I'll just go to a crowded place later. They won't dare to move around on the street."

"Eh? At night? Okay, I'll go back early. By the way, why do you sound so weird?"

"Okay, got it."

Looking at the call that was hung up in a hurry, Ji Hui stuffed the phone back into his coat pocket with a strange expression.

Why does it seem like Chizuru Hazen is in a panic? Even if other magical girls go to the shrine, it shouldn't be difficult for her if I'm not there.

Thinking of this, Ji Hui looked at the time again and shook his head.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’d better hurry to work.

But before that, Ji Hui glanced at Rika Funado beside him and spoke.

"For the next period of time, you should stay away from me."

"Eh?"

When she suddenly heard him say this, Rika Funadotari's expression was slightly stunned, and she didn't understand what he meant.

"During the next period of time, there will definitely be all kinds of ignorant magical girls coming to attack me. If you are near me, you will become even more dangerous."

"I don't know if Duncan will agree in the end, but at least until we have a real shelter that can keep us out of the wind and rain, if you just stay with me, you'll have a greater chance of meeting a magical girl."

"For now, forget about the Hazen Shrine. They hang around the mountain from morning till night. If they see you, they'll just kill you."

Ji Hui waved his hand, and his words finally made Funado Rika realize that she and Ji Hui seemed to be on a different path.

After all, she just happened to meet Ji Hui while she was escaping. If it weren't for Ji Hui's actions last night to prevent her from getting into any more trouble, she should have parted ways with him long ago.

But from the time I went to bed last night until this morning, he kept asking me to stay by his side, and I almost forgot about it.

After all, I don't seem to be particularly familiar with the other person, and it seems a bit inappropriate to say this when I am grateful for saving my life.

But no matter what, it is time for me to leave.

But where should I go?
