The strange thing was that they did not leave immediately. Instead, they looked at Ji Hui on the bed with some reluctance, which made his expression suddenly look a little strange.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Um, Mr. Ji Hui, could you please use your time-stopping ability one more time before you leave? We'd like to record it in more detail."

One of the researchers couldn't help but plead, and even stepped forward on his own initiative.

"Can you do it to me? That way, the instruments can directly monitor my body."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ji Hui, if it really doesn't work, I can do it."

"I can do it too. I'm a bit fairer than them, so I shouldn't be so eye-catching."

"Please, Mr. Ji Hui, otherwise we won't be able to sleep well in the office tonight. At least give us a research subject to think about."

The way they all agreed made Ji Hui's face even darker.

However, the eager eyes and the strong pressure brought by a group of men who seemed eager to climb into his bed made him nod with some difficulty.

A minute later, a group of beaming researchers happily walked out of Ji Hui's room, dragging a man with a rolled-eye expression and damp tea leaves on his face. Their flushed faces made the expressions of the girls watching them leave increasingly strange.

Chapter 179 The Chicken Slaughterer

"Ga-ga-zhi-zhi"

After using time stop to pin the lively old hen in mid-air, Ji Hui grabbed its neck viciously and hit it to death with a kitchen knife.

His clothes were already completely soiled by dust, and the fact that he was panting from running so hard made him look particularly disheveled.

As for why a demon from outside the domain would rely on his powerful time-stopping ability to kill a chicken, we have to talk about some guesses about the testing abilities that the researchers sent to him after they returned.

If we harvest lives or spirits to recover bit by bit, then are the targets not limited to the creations of the Broken Star Palace, but also ordinary creatures?

Although it is impossible to really let Ji Hui kill a person or slaughter a magical girl or even a demon, starting with the most basic animals is also a method.

If it can really bring about some impact, then relying on quantity instead of quality to restore the ability little by little can be considered a way.

So as an exploratory experiment, they also asked Ji Hui to start by killing chickens and fish, wondering whether this conjecture could be realized.

So during these few days, I dealt with these live poultry a lot, making the yard very lively.

However, for the girls who were staying here temporarily, his behavior was really unacceptable.

"Ah, Ji Hui, didn't I say we'll talk about it after you're completely well?"

The dissatisfied voice coming from behind made Ji Hui shrink his neck immediately. He turned around awkwardly and looked at Yu Mingxue, who was wearing an apron and staring at him with dissatisfaction.

"Xiaoxue, I'm really fine now. My injuries have almost healed. I'm sure I'll be fine."

However, even though he said this, the dissatisfaction on Yu Mingxue's face did not diminish at all. She just raised her hand towards him, forcing Ji Hui to hand the old hen in his hand to her.

"Even if you appear fine on the outside, hidden injuries are hard to notice. Didn't the doctor tell you to rest for the time being?"

After weighing the chicken, Yu Mingxue also sighed.

"Then let's make chicken soup tonight. When Yingying and I go back to the store, we'll go to the market to ask the boss to take care of it."

Because he had to use a living animal for the experiment, Ji Hui naturally couldn't buy a processed one. Few people in the mansion knew how to pluck hair and bleed.

Although Ji Hui also asked Ruth if he could suck out the blood of chicken, duck, fish and other things in one breath, what he got in return was the other party's angry scolding, and saying that her teeth were not trash cans.

"So you stay in your room and don't move around, okay?"

"Okay, okay. I'll just take a walk outside for a while before going back."

Ji Hui waved his hand, causing Yu Mingxue to sigh helplessly. He had no choice but to carry the old hen, which would probably brag in heaven that it was killed by the time stop, back to the kitchen.

After taking a look around at the desolate wilderness, Ji Hui walked into the house through the main gate, feeling the chill brought by the howling cold wind.

"You came back after being scolded?"

Rika Funado, who was sitting at the front desk, saw Ji Hui closing the door, and raised her head from the magazine in her hand and asked casually, making Ji Hui spread his hands.

"you guessed right."

He also sat on the sofa to welcome guests, and took a paper cup to get a cup of hot water from the water dispenser next to him, while looking at the empty hall where only he and Funado Rika were there.

With Qiu Bin's generous gift, the house, which originally seemed a little simple, became much more luxurious, just like a real luxury hotel. He even gave away a few potted plants to add some greenery to the lobby.

It’s just that the most important guests, even the group of people who were supposed to stay here, haven’t been seen yet, which seems a bit strange.

"Rika, it's been several days, how come not a single demon has come?"

Ji Hui's words also made Funado Rika's expression become strange.

"Are you sure you want to ask me this question?"

"After all, you're the only one among us who knows more demons than anyone else. And didn't you bring a group of demons with you earlier? Aren't they still worrying about us harming them?"

“I’m not afraid of this anymore, but…”

After hesitating for a while, Funado Rika sighed and explained to Ji Hui.

"But that fallen girl just caused such a big commotion right in front of our house. Even if they know that the danger is caused by that lunatic, this place is not a safe place at all for them. One moment there are a group of magical girls running over, and the next there are attacks from the fallen girl. The land hasn't even been filled yet. Who would dare to come and live here?"

"not to mention"

Recalling the conversations she had with a few fellow demons whom she had met once in the past two days, her expression became even more strange.

"Have you ever considered that the sight of you, an extraterritorial demon in a hospital gown, running back and forth in the yard with a knife, killing chickens and fish, is a bit too scary?"

"What?"

Looking at Ji Hui's stunned expression, Funado Rika became a little impatient. She slammed the magazine in her hand on the counter and glared at him.

"That's right, the sight of you waving a knife around the yard every day and causing chaos is so terrifying that those demons who were originally planning to come over to give it a try saw a madman in a hospital gown slaughtering animals, causing them to scream and scream, and they all ran away in shame!"

Her words made Ji Hui's mouth twitch, and he raised his hand and pointed at himself.

"So my act of testing my own abilities actually scared them away?"

"Nonsense! We're in the middle of nowhere. The noise of you killing a chicken has spread far and wide. It might not disturb the residents in the city, but the demons sleeping in the wilderness can all hear it."

Rika Nakafune said this with her hands on her hips, venting her dissatisfaction at the same time.

"So even if you asked me to find more demons, they wouldn't dare come. They even said I was enslaved by you and that I had to help you catch more demons, otherwise they would kill me."

"Uh okay okay, I was wrong, I'll be more careful next time."

: When Ji Hui found out that it was really his fault, he immediately shrank his neck guiltily, which made Funado Rika sigh as she saw him smirking.

"Although, seeing that I am indeed living a good life, they are a little skeptical, but you should also pay a little attention to your behavior--"

Ding dong————

The ringing doorbell interrupted Rika Funado's words, causing her and Ji Hui to look at each other subconsciously, and then look towards the door.

Chapter 180 Opening the Door to See the Coffin

"Could it be those magical girls again?"

While Funado Rika was mumbling, Ji Hui had already opened the door and looked at the person who came in curiously.

But the next moment, he was startled by the coffin standing less than a few dozen centimeters away from him. He subconsciously took two steps back and stared blankly at the coffin, which looked a little worn and stained with various traces of dirt.

What the hell

Ji Hui subconsciously moved his shoulders and glanced towards both sides of the coffin, but found that there seemed to be no one else there.

"Don't look, I was the one knocking on the door."

Then, the gentle shaking coming from inside the coffin and the female voice that became muffled under the heavy coffin board made Ji Hui and Funado Rika, who came over with him, shiver involuntarily at the scene.

However, after hearing her words, Ji Hui reacted immediately.

"Wait, are you a demon who has come to join us?"

The shaking of the coffin stopped, as if the person inside wanted to nod, but found that he couldn't express it effectively in the now upright coffin. After a while, the sound was heard again.

"Yes, you are the legendary demon Ji Hui from the outer realm of Annihilation, right?"

"What the hell is this? I'm not a thief! Where did this nickname come from?!"

Ji Hui, who suddenly realized that his reputation seemed to have been seriously damaged without him realizing it, said this in a frustrated tone, causing Funado Rika beside him to turn her head away with a guilty conscience.

In fact, she had mentioned this title to other demons when they parted for the first time, but a lot of things happened later and she completely forgot about it.

And now, the results she promoted at that time seem to still be playing a role unconsciously.

"Ahem, Ji Hui, forget about that for now. A demon has finally come over, so let's quickly ask for specific information."

In order to hide her embarrassment, Rika Funado nudged Ji Hui's waist with her elbow, which made him react. After a dry cough, he continued to speak.

"Well, anyway, I'm definitely not a thief. That group of people are just talking nonsense."

"Oh fine."

The female voice in the coffin stopped for a while and then sounded again.

"So you are indeed recruiting demons who can't make it here, right?"

"Yes, that's for sure. As long as you haven't done anything harmful to the world and just want to live a peaceful life, you can live here."

Ji Hui nodded quickly, recalling the introduction he had pieced together when he was free these two days, and explained to her.

"Of course, some labor or housework is required. After all, we can't let everyone eat and live for free, right? You should understand this, right?"

"Well, this is within my expectations, as long as you don't suddenly drive me away or sell me out."

It seemed that he was indeed a little anxious. After saying this, the coffin that looked very shabby began to shake again.

"So, can I move in now? Or do I need to go through some formalities?"

"Uh... well..."

Ji Hui and Funado Rika looked at each other, and then looked at the coffin standing in front of them with strange expressions again.

"First of all, could you please come out and talk? Search;/q group: andˉ咎思掕四糤污肆 We are facing a coffin like this, it's really a bit..."

"No."

However, the decisive voice coming from inside the coffin made their expressions even more strange.

"Can I ask why?"

"We are afraid of society."

The coffin answered confidently, causing Ji Hui's mouth to twitch.

"But you've been talking in the coffin the whole time, and we don't know your exact identity. What if you're a wanted criminal or a fugitive being hunted by a magical girl?"

"We maintain a state of honesty and mutual assistance with other organizations and cannot bear the risk of harboring criminals. If you insist on maintaining this state, unfortunately we cannot accept you."

His words also made the coffin suddenly quiet down. It seemed that it was having an ideological struggle. After a while, it spoke with difficulty.

"Okay then, I'll explain my situation to you, but could you please let me in first? It's a bit cold outside, and I'm almost completely frozen."

After hesitating for a while, Ji Hui nodded slightly, agreeing to the request of the girl who sealed herself in the coffin.

After all, even if she was really an assassin and wanted to attack suddenly, he could use time stop to control the other party in an instant, and at most he could just drive the other party out.

"Of course you can, but how can you stay in this coffin?"

Pah-pah-pah-pah

The next moment, the entire coffin began to jump and moved into the hall bit by bit. Ji Hui and Funado Rika, with their eyes wide open in astonishment, looked at the slender jailer in blue cloth shoes engraved with lotus flowers and white silk clothes that was exposed from the bottom of the coffin, jumping up and down to move the heavy coffin.

Well, this solves the mystery of how the other party managed to hide in a big coffin and come here alone.

Moreover, judging from these various signs, Ji Hui had naturally guessed what kind of demon the other party was.

So after the coffin clanged and clattered all the way to the reception room, Ji Hui, who was sitting on the sofa opposite it, also asked.

"So, Miss Zombie, can you tell me why you are here and some information about yourself?"

And Funado Rika also floated over. After handing Ji Hui the registration form and pen that she and Ji Hui had worked out together over the past two days, she looked at the coffin standing in front of them with some difficulty.

"Uh so you still need some tea?"

She looked for a long time but couldn't figure out how to pour water into the coffin. She couldn't just pour tea directly from the coffin like she did when visiting a grave, right?

"Thank you, but no thanks."

A calm sound came from inside the coffin, and then the lid began to move, as if it was being pushed outwards by something.

Sila————Temple

However, the sound made by the wooden board, which should have been thick, was like tape being forcibly torn apart, which made Ji Hui blink his eyes.
