The Eye Demon Doesn't Die from the Magical Girl

"This magic circle seems to be somewhat similar to the one used by the outer demons back then."

"Could it be that it was left behind by those fallen demon believers?"

Ji Hui asked in surprise, sniffing his nose unconsciously.

It’s strange, why do I always feel a fragrance? Could it be the burnt smell after the explosion?

"If, as you said, they were secretly conducting experiments on demons, it's possible that they were collecting the resentment here to awaken this dormant demon, and it seems they were successful."

"So, that demon is now..."

Seeing that there were things like pillows in the empty coffin, Ji Hui subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed it slightly.

It's quite soft... He thought it would be hard.

And there is an inexplicably pleasant fragrance

No, I'm not a necrophile. There's no smell of corpse.

He shook his head violently, throwing the strange thoughts in his mind aside.

Chizuru Hazen has also begun to release her magic power, bit by bit breaking the magic circle on the ground that is emitting an ominous light.

"Wait a moment, it will take some time to remove it."

After hearing her words, Ji Hui nodded and started walking in the basement.

Anyway, I can't help much in this regard, so I'll just take a look here to see if there are any other clues.

Perhaps it was because he had just seen an even more disgusting vengeful spirit. Although he knew that this was once a house of the dead, he did not feel much fear in his heart.

Moreover, why did he feel that the fragrance was becoming more and more obvious?

"Chizuru, do you smell anything?"

He asked as he looked at the wires that were roughly hanging outside the wall, and Chizuru Hazen's response came.

"No, how can a basement like this, where people have been dead for so long, be used as a transit point? How can it possibly smell good?"

"Are you hungry? I can make you some midnight snack when we get back."

"Well, let's talk about it later."

Looking at the wires passing through the other side of the wall, Ji Hui spoke as he took steps towards the wall.

The walls here feel different from other places.

The sense of incongruity made Ji Hui walk to the front of the wall. He then noticed that there was an arc at the edge. He put his hand on it and with a slight force, he made the door-like wall retreat, revealing the rougher cave behind it, as if they had simply dug out such an area and never taken care of it again.

darkroom?

"Ji Hui, be careful."

Chizuru Yuzen, who also saw this scene, couldn't help but remind her, which made Ji Hui nod. She held her talisman in her hand and walked inside.

It looked like just a small cave, without even any walls, just the dirt and dust left over from the excavation.

The only special thing is probably the already precarious light bulb on the top, which is still emitting a small light that is better than nothing.

Is it just an ordinary cave?

But... the aroma seemed stronger, like some kind of seasoning mixed with oil.

Ji Hui moved his neck, following the fragrance bit by bit, and turned his head behind him.

The next moment, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and even his breathing became slightly held. He stared at the girl who remained squatting with her body completely retracted into the hole.

The other person's long golden hair was dirty with dust because of the dirt on it, and it looked a lot duller.

Even the black and red Gothic-style skirt was stained with a lot of dirt, making the girl's originally noble temperament appear even weaker and more miserable.

And at this moment, her pair of ruby-like eyes were also looking at him without any deviation.

But these are not the main point; the main point is

In her left hand, she was holding a bucket of hot instant noodles, and in her right hand, she was holding a plastic fork, picking up the crooked noodles from the slightly oily soup.

Instant noodles?

While Ji Hui was thinking blankly in his heart, the girl's stiff face was also stained with a hint of despair.

She first lowered her head to look at the steaming instant noodles in her arms, then looked up at Ji Hui who was staring at her blankly, and finally asked slowly with a sad face.

"Can you wait until I finish eating before destroying me?"

However, without waiting for any response from Ji Hui, she picked up the fork and put the noodles, which had been separated from the soup and were slightly cold, into her mouth.

"Suck~"

In the empty cave, the sound of the girl slurping her noodles was also extremely clear.

Chapter 122 The Heartless Vampire

"Uh so"

Looking at the beautiful blonde girl in front of him who drank up the noodle soup together with her head tilted back, then let out a long sigh and wiped the corner of her mouth in a very unruly manner, Ji Hui also looked at Yu Ran Chizuru who had broken the magic circle, and they saw strange expressions on each other's faces.

But even so, they did not let down their guard. Whether it was their fingers resting on the glasses frame or the talismans in their hands, they did not relax at all.

Although it was indeed very strange, after all, I had seen the vengeful spirit and the ominous magic circle before, so it was hard to say whether the girl in front of me was really harmless.

But the girl in front of him didn't seem to care about it at all. She just looked at the empty instant noodle bucket reluctantly, put it on the ground, and spoke in a heroic tone.

"Okay, I have no regrets anymore. Please do it cleanly and don't hurt me, thank you."

Her overly single look made Ji Hui and Yu Ran Chizuru look even more strange, and the former couldn't help but ask.

"Uh, so, the demon who set up the magic circle to collect Yin energy and summon the vengeful spirits was you?"

"No, I'm just sleeping here."

The girl answered as a matter of course, and looking at the surprised expressions of the two, she couldn't help but blink her wine-red eyes, and suddenly realized something.

"Wait a minute, so you're not coming back to kill me?"

"We were just here to deal with the vengeful spirit of the previous owner, and we stumbled upon the extremely dark energy here, so we came down to take a look, and that's when we discovered this magic circle."

Chizuru Yuzen began to explain, and Ji Hui noticed the three words "return" from her mouth, and his brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"You said you were coming back. Could it be that the person who set up this formation just left not long ago?"

"Oh, no, that was all before I took a nap."

The girl shook her head slightly and glanced around the basement.

"Well, I'm not sure since I've been living in the basement, but based on my usual estimates, it must have been at least a month or two ago."

After hearing her words, Ji Hui gave up the idea of ​​rushing out to catch up, and with a bad premonition in his heart, he asked the second question with some urgency.

"So, according to what you said, the one who set up the magic circle here is also a magical girl?"

"Ah."

The girl nodded, which made Ji Hui and Yu Ran Chizuru's expressions suddenly become serious, especially the latter, who involuntarily walked closer to the girl and emphasized her tone.

"Do you know who that magical girl is? What does she look like? What are her characteristics?"

"I don't know! I don't know! I was just hiding in the coffin at the time and didn't dare to come out at all! After all, it's not the first time or the second time that you magical girls have confiscated demons to make up the numbers. How could I dare to come out and take a look!"

Under the pressure from Chizuru Hazen, the girl couldn't help but take two steps back and said very aggrievedly.

Seeing her flustered look, Ji Hui also sighed and patted Yu Ran Chizuru's shoulder gently.

"Chizuru, don't worry. It happened a long time ago. The mastermind behind it must have already escaped to somewhere unknown. Compared to these..."

As Ji Hui spoke, he fixed his gaze on the girl in front of him who was covered in dust after crawling out of the pit.

"Who are you, why do you live here, and do you have anything to do with what happened here?"

"Uh"

The girl blinked, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face, and she asked cautiously.

"Are you sure you won't kill me?"

"No, as long as you haven't done anything particularly harmful before, we won't ask."

Ji Hui shook his head and then took the lead in introducing himself to the girl.

"I'm Ji Hui. Please treat me as a human for now. I'm Chizuru Hazen. I'm both a miko of the Hazen Shrine and a magical girl. You should have figured that out by now. What's your name?"

However, the girl did not directly answer his question. Instead, she widened her eyes slightly and muttered unconsciously.

"Feather"

Even her eyes were locked on Chizuru Hazen, causing her to ask with some confusion.

"what happened?"

"Is your mother's name Yuzen Ai?"

After hearing the girl's words, Chizuru Hazen's expression suddenly became shocked.

"Do you know my mother?"

That reaction, which was like a tacit agreement, made the girl smile suddenly in the next moment. After clapping her hands, she said excitedly.

"Hey! It really is Yuzen Ai's child! I once fought with your mother and beat her half to death!"

laugh----

The next moment, the fireball burned fiercely along the talisman in Yuzen Chizuru's hand. The girl's excited expression suddenly became stiff. Looking at Yuzen Chizuru's unfriendly expression and murderous look, her forehead was suddenly covered with cold sweat, and she waved her hand and said.

qi

"Wait wait wait! I was practically on the verge of death at that time! And even though it was like that at first, we eventually became good friends!"

Her panic-stricken look made Ji Hui, who was watching this scene, feel a strange feeling in his heart.

Could this demon be a fool?

I just told her that as long as she didn't do anything bad, she said happily the next moment that she beat someone's mother half to death. This guy is absolutely stupid.

The girl also became more panicked when she saw that the fireball in Chizuru Hazen's hand did not disappear, and then she spoke.

"Everything I said is true! This basement was found for me by Ai, so I could live there when I was homeless! But she wasn't you yet. My name is Ruth, Ruth Eugene. Your mother should have mentioned me before."

Ruth Eugene

Chizuru Hazen murmured softly, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"I think I did hear my mother mention this name."

Watching the huge fireball in her hand disappear bit by bit, the girl named Ruth Eugene breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face again.

"Look, look, I'll tell you, she and I are good friends."

"Mom said he was a jerk with a bad mouth, a poor brain, and a flat chest. He had no feminine charm at all. So that's you."

The words that came out of Chizuru Yuzen's mouth made the smile on Ruth's face freeze again. Looking at Ji Hui and Chizuru Yuzen in front of her with strange and scrutinizing eyes, her cheeks gradually turned red, and soon turned into annoyance. She kicked the ground with her black princess shoes.

"Damn love! I was told it was 0, I just wasn't absorbing enough life! Why are you blindly accusing me of 4! If she hadn't refused to let me absorb 5 life, I wouldn't have remained flat all this time!"

Looking at the furious Ruth in front of them, Ji Hui and Yu Ran Chizuru couldn't help but look at each other again.

Now, it seems like I accidentally unearthed an incredible elder.

Chapter 123 Ruth's Experience

Now that they have proven their identities, the original tense situation can no longer be maintained.

The basement was not a good place to talk, so in the end, the three of them returned to the living room of the villa, sat on the damp sofa, and listened to Ruth's story.

"As for me, I was originally a wandering vampire. From time to time, I would suck blood here and there, and then I would be captured by the demon slayers and escape to other places. This cycle would repeat itself over and over again."

As Ruth spoke, she sighed, as if she was recalling that difficult time, and an expression of reluctance appeared on her face.

"After all, I just want to live a relatively stable life, so I only suck blood to a minimum, and the enemies I provoke are not as many as those of my kind who cultivate blood slaves."

"But even so, there were still some spontaneous vampire hunters and dark mace gardens among humans, and even magical girls who came to capture me. After several twists and turns, I ended up in Yanming City and fought with Ai, a member of the local demon-slayer clan."

"It can be said that there is no friendship without fighting. After realizing that I am different from those vampires and just want to live in peace, Ai didn't continue to fight me to death. Instead, she found a secluded place where I can hide from those who are searching for me and live a peaceful life. That is this basement."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and asked Chizuru Hazen.
