The Eye Demon Doesn't Die from the Magical Girl

“I almost thought I was going to die of thirst.”

"Well, so, you did come to this city to seek refuge in the demon's abode, right?"

Ji Hui and others also sat near her and couldn't help but confirm it again.

"Yeah, that's right. Otherwise, how could I be so full that I would run all the way here?"

Mi Lulu nodded, and while touching her slightly bulging belly that was revealed from the thin fabric that highlighted the exquisite seams, she showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"I really didn't expect that I would run into you just when I was about to take a last break. You're really amazing! "Hey, are you the owner of the shelter?"

"If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the Demon Eye's House. There are already three demons living there."

Ji Hui shrugged his shoulders, glanced at the two girls beside him who seemed to be immersed in their own thoughts and wandering in space without saying a word, and then he had to continue speaking.

"At least for now, I'm the only one who provides shelter for demons and has normal cooperation with the Dark Mace Garden and the magical girls."

His words also made Mi Lulu's face look a little conflicted.

“This is the only one.”

To be honest, after the farce last night, her original urge to reach the shelter had cooled down a lot.

However, considering her own situation, after hesitating for a while, she nodded slightly.

"Okay, can we go now? Is there any hot water over there? I want to take a quick bath. If not, I can just find any river to rinse myself in."

Although after the shower, the frequency of outdoor sex between men and women near the park lawn close to the river should become higher.

However, Ji Hui just shook his head slightly and called up the memo on his phone.

"Don't rush to go. Since we met here, let me ask a few questions first, ok."

"My name is Mi Lulu."

"Okay, Miss Mi Lulu, first and foremost, since you said you were being hunted and had no choice but to come here, then who was chasing you, and what was the cause of this hunt?"

His words made Mi Lulu ask in surprise.

"You're actually asking this? I've never seen such strict inspections in other shelters before."

"Since you know that we have connections with the Dark Mace Garden and the magical girls, you should also know that we are different from those places that unilaterally shelter demons. We are a more neutral place, right?"

Ji Hui turned slightly and sat a little straighter, then explained to Mi Lu who was standing in front of him.

"While neutrality is about suppressing conflicts, it doesn't mean playing both sides equally. It also means having a relatively objective assessment of the conflicts themselves."

"After all, it's impossible that you're a demon who's killed countless people and wreaked havoc on the world, and then suddenly one day you say you're tired and want to live a peaceful life and come to the shelter. And then we have to use neutrality as an excuse to stop those people from taking revenge, right? That's not neutrality, it's pure bias."

"Also, I will confirm the specific reasons with the Dark Mace Garden. But if your answer is true, then if a magical girl comes to harm you, the Mystic Eye House will step in to stop her. This is also the obligation of the shelter. That's about it."

Judging from the other party's description, she doesn't seem to be a demon that would bring public harm. I'm not sure if she has to keep a low profile to avoid being hunted, or if she is like this all the time.

"Okay, that's true."

Mi Lulu nodded helplessly, sighed, and then spoke.

"I was being hunted mainly because I had a conflict with the nuns of the Xinghuang Church, so they wanted me."

"Xinghuang Church?"

Hearing her say this, Ji Hui couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and his expression suddenly became shocked.

Is it such a coincidence? I just found out about this church, and then a demon that was hunted by this church came.

However, his surprise turned into another emotion in Mi Lulu's eyes, making her face show a little uneasiness.

"Could it be that you can't accept me here?"

After all, she was driven out of the previous demon shelter because she had offended the Xinghuang Church. Those lunatics who were more organized were much more difficult to deal with than a single magical girl.

That's why she rushed here after hearing that the shelter here seemed to have some connection with Dark Mace Garden and the magical girl.

After all, no demon shelter would get involved with a force like the Starlight Church just for a strange demon. If the entire shelter was completely labeled as an enemy and then wiped out by the magical girls, it would be a loss.

"Oh, no, that's not the case. As long as your dispute doesn't involve you doing anything extreme, we will accept you."

Ji Hui, who had come to his senses, quickly waved his hand and spoke.

"So, what caused the conflict?"

Under his questioning, the expression on Mi Lulu's face also became a little gloomy.

"It all started when I had an argument with someone from my own tribe, and accidentally injured a nun from the Xinghuang Church, which attracted their attention."

"Because of that accidental injury, they labeled me an evil creature and began to hunt me down. As time went by, I became a wanted criminal."

When she said this, she couldn't help but sneer, and a somewhat gloomy expression appeared on her face.

"Heh, although it was an accidental injury, in reality, the magical girl was just taking advantage of the chaos to attack us, but she was caught in the crossfire before she even showed up. It just sounds better this way."

Ji Hui's fingers, which were recording the information, paused slightly. After thinking for a while, he asked.

"In your opinion, the relationship between you and those believers is already beyond repair, almost a life-and-death struggle?"

"Ha, I want to ask for peace, will they let me go? I've fought with many believers and even broke the water valves of several bishop-level magical girls. They won't tolerate such humiliation."

Mi Lulu said unhappily, then she realized that what she said seemed to make the other party feel more likely to refuse the offer, so she became cautious again.

"Uh"

"It's okay, just tell me what you said normally. I won't refuse to take you in just because of this. You just need to tell me the truth."

With Ji Hui's comfort, she relaxed a little and recounted her experience in detail, bit by bit.

Chapter 215 Bishop Meeting

"Mr. Duncan, I hope you can give us some leniency. After all, this concerns the dignity of the Xinghuang Church."

The woman in dark blue nun's uniform took a sip of the steaming tea and slowly spoke to Duncan who was sitting opposite her.

Although it was a nun's uniform, it was just like a normal winter windbreaker, except that on the shoulders and chest, there were crosses with light gold edges and magic circle logos that looked like flowers.

If the woman's headscarf, which is pinned to her hair with a hairpin, is removed, the outfit would be more like a coat with some religious elements, which would not attract other people's attention even if she walked on the street.

Of course, with her beautiful curves that can be highlighted even with a thick windbreaker and her already very beautiful appearance, she will inevitably attract the attention of many passers-by when she walks on the street.

However, even so, Duncan's mood did not improve much. He only responded slowly after taking a sip of tea.

"Regarding this matter, I think you should talk to Mayor Qiu Bin."

"We've already had quite a few discussions with him, but he often says he can't make the decision on this kind of thing, so we'd like to ask for your opinion."

A faint smile appeared on Zhenya's face, which made Duncan just remain calm, as if he was not moved at all, and spoke again.

"After all, this also involves the issue of religion and faith. If Miss Zhinia wants to open a church in Yanming City, she should consider the attitude of the local magical girls towards the Xinghuang Church's faith. After all, this kind of thing cannot be forced. If those magical girls are unwilling, it will be difficult for us to do anything."

"So, forcing an outlander to settle down in the local city, even against the disapproval of the magical girls and most of the people in Dark Mace Garden, and granting him identity verification and a wide range of freedom, wouldn't that be difficult for Mr. Duncan?"

Duncan's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and then he brought it to his lips again without leaving any trace.

"Of course it's difficult, but for now, letting that extraterritorial demon stay does solve a lot of problems, doesn't it?"

"Liliana, the Fallen Daughter of Demons, known as the Demon Devourer, who has caused countless disasters, and the Eye Demon incident caused by the Fallen Followers, all prove that he has indeed provided considerable help."

"Luckily, he proved that my choice was right. So I think it's reasonable to give more lenient conditions to problem solvers in this regard."

"That being said, the truth is, it was the members of the Dark Mace Garden who triggered the Eye Demon incident. The reason the Fallen Evil Daughter came here was because that extraterritorial demon lived there, which triggered the subsequent disaster."

But the next moment, Zhinia responded with a smile, but there was a hint of unclear emotion in her words.

"Also, if I remember correctly, the reason why that Outer Devil is forming factions seems to be because the local magical girls are quarreling with each other and lacking morals, which has caused the Holy Spirit Temple, the organization that is supposed to save the world, to become a mess, right?"

"I think this precisely demonstrates the necessity of establishing the Xinghuang Church. If we can take on some of the management and share the pressure, I think the dire situation can be greatly alleviated, and the worries and difficulties of those who are worried and devastated can be resolved."

"Please rest assured, the church currently has sufficient GPA. We can take care of everything, whether it's setting up the venue or funding. There's no need for Mr. Duncan to worry about it."

"As for our future work, please rest assured. We, who possess the power to grant wishes and follow the wishes of the Holy Spirit Temple, will make the city's residents and magical girls happy in a more convenient and beautiful way."

As she said this, the smile on her face became even brighter, making the smile that was originally just a polite gesture filled with joy and happiness.

But soon, she reacted, and after a light dry cough, she returned to her original gentle smile.

"Sorry, I'm sorry."

"However, I think the wanted criminal's escape to Yanming City is indeed a good opportunity. I still hope Mr. Duncan can consider it carefully."

"After all, now that the fallen demon followers have appeared, it's not impossible for other things to happen in the future. While the difficult path is admirable, please don't forget the victims who were unable to continue on this path."

"Also, as a token of our sympathy, we've brought a lot of gifts and supplements with us this time. We heard there have been a lot of disasters recently, and we hope this will give the staff a little relief and relaxation during this busy time. Please don't refuse."

Looking at the smiling Zenia in front of him, Duncan was silent for a while before nodding slightly.

"Since it is the church's good intention, then I will naturally not refuse, but..."

hum-

The slight vibration made him subconsciously lower his head and glance at the mobile phone he placed on the table for convenience.

The content of the text message displayed on the lit screen made him raise his brows slightly, and a hint of curiosity also appeared on the face of Zhinia who was sitting opposite him.

Throughout the entire meeting, this man didn't show any unusual expression at all. What happened?

However, before she subconsciously wanted to use the magical girl's extraordinary vision to take a look at the message above, Duncan had already turned off the screen again and said after clearing his throat.

"However, regarding the establishment of the church, I still hope that Miss Zhinia will personally inspect it before making a final decision. After all, as you said, the church's presence can be quickly established at any time, so this little preliminary work will definitely not be a problem."

"As long as the magical girls there don't object and there aren't any local disputes, then we at Dark Mace Garden will naturally have no objection."

"Of course, after all, our Dark Mace Court is just an observation and monitoring organization, so when it comes to assisting the church in eliminating wanted criminals, unfortunately we can't do much. We can only maintain a neutral position, and I hope you can understand."

His sudden loose words also caused a hint of doubt in Zhinia's heart. After thinking for a few seconds, she nodded slightly.

"Well, we are naturally clear about this. As long as Anjianyuan doesn't hinder our actions, that's fine."

"We will naturally not hinder it. After all, our role is only to supervise and evaluate."

Duncan nodded, his tone becoming more cheerful than before.

"As long as it doesn't affect our staff, we're certainly willing to give the Xinghuang Church some leeway."

Chapter 216 The Strange Place

Old fox

Even after leaving the reception room, Zhinia couldn't help but mutter in her heart when recalling what they had just talked about.

"Bishop Zenia."

Seeing her come out, another girl standing in the corridor, who looked very young and still had a bit of childishness on her face, trotted over, followed her and asked curiously.

"Did the person in charge agree to our request?"

"If you want to say he agrees, then he should be considered to have agreed. At least, his attitude of not intending to interfere has been shown."

Her words also made the girl's face look thoughtful.

"In other words, they're actually still unwilling to support us in their hearts?"

"Improvement, Millie."

A smile appeared on Zhinia's face, and she gently raised her hand to stroke the head of the girl named Millie.

"Yes, they still have some resistance and opposition towards us."

"But these aren't big problems. After all, we have plenty of time and energy. Believers like us, who are favored by the Holy Spirit Temple, will eventually realize our dreams. Letting them witness the power of fulfilling their wishes is the great guidance that will lead people to continue living."

"The Dark Mace Garden has become extremely short-sighted. Unwarranted jealousy and rebelliousness have caused them to lose their way, leading to the emergence of the Fallen Demon Followers among them. Even now, they fear they can no longer control the power they hold, and they are desperately conducting various experiments in secret, hoping to gain strength for psychological comfort."

"How foolish! Just because of your own vain pride, you doubt and resist even the helping hand, and judge everyone with your own narrow-minded malice, just to maintain your superior attitude."

Zhinia shook her head gently, a helpless expression on her face.

"The path that truly leads humanity to goodness and happiness is clearly right before our eyes, within reach. Yet, those foolish beings are simply trying to find a longer path through sacrifice and injury. It's a complete waste of effort."

Her murmurs made Millie beside her nod as if she understood.

"However, as long as people like us who understand the true and beautiful aspirations of the Holy Spirit Temple continue to work hard, they will sooner or later discover that this power, which can realize wishes through beautiful and kind wishes, is the true path for human evolution to a better place."

A loving expression appeared on her face as she looked at the still somewhat naive girl beside her.

Although Millie is still immature, with time, she will truly understand the greatness of the Holy Spirit Temple and its deep love for humanity, and become a qualified nun who can correctly convey its grand ideals.

"Let's go, we still have a lot of things to do after we go back."

"Since the person in charge has said that he won't interfere, then we can proceed as we please."

She patted Millie's shoulder gently and then walked towards the exit.
