The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

Those were humans enslaved by demons, all sorts of people, kept like livestock, living in constant fear and torment.

That is, when someone who has signed the contract finds them, they ask, "This is a contract from the gods. After signing it, you will die and become the most terrifying evil spirits, destined to fight demons for all eternity. Are you willing?"

For the first time, those who were kept in captivity showed a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

"My lord, now that you've covered the benefits, what about the drawbacks?" these humans, enslaved by the demons, replied.

For these people, perhaps dying without pain would already be a blessing.

And so, one person told ten, ten told a hundred, and like the most terrifying plague, the contract spread throughout the entire population.

Even in hell, this contract began to indiscriminately infect any living human being who was suffering.

Then, sign your name on the contract.

Thus, evil spirits were born. Even in the demons' homeland, that terrifying and twisted hell, evil spirits were now everywhere. These immortal monsters even terrified the demons.

What they fear most is the disappearance of humanity.

If all humans disappear, they will also lose their power and disappear along with humans.

Therefore, they guarded the remaining humans with utmost vigilance and began to improve the treatment of those enslaved humans in Hell.

Because they are afraid—afraid that humanity will truly perish along with them—there are still quite a few humans in Hell, but they are all kept under strict control by the demons in a place unknown to anyone.

Therefore, the demons and evil spirits have been locked in a tug-of-war.

The so-called evil spirits are merely humans who refuse to be enslaved by demons and thus sign a pact.

So when Xue Dinglu opened his divine and demonic eyes again, he saw the man wearing thick, special glasses, the evil hacker known as "Raven".

"I'm sorry, I don't know if what I did was right or wrong, but thank you, Xue Law." He said Xue Law's real name, and in the next moment, he looked up at the dilapidated street and the ruins under the twilight.

"Goodbye, remember to tell Susu to eat well and live a good life..."

"May you always be this happy."

As the dance ended, the little witch stared blankly at the tall tree in the distance.

For some reason, she felt a demon being led to the Pure Land by her once again, but for some reason, she suddenly felt so uncomfortable, as if something was burning inside her body. This pain made her stop the nonsense she was about to say.

She felt this pain before. When she returned to her hometown and saw it become like this, she felt the same way—pain, helplessness, as if the weight of the whole world had fallen on her shoulders in that instant.

When she almost fell to the ground, Xue Dinglu went forward to help her up.

But in that instant, she felt an almost unbearable pain as if she had lost the ability to think, and her whole body went limp against Xue Dinglu.

“You have a fever, your temperature is very high,” Xue Dinglu said.

"Um... I'm sorry, brother, could you please carry me?" she said with difficulty.

At this moment, "Innovation Century" began to float up around Xue Dinglu.

Even "Innovation Century" has been activated, which proves that Xue's Law is on the right track.

"Brother, I feel so bad, I don't know why, I feel so bad, so sleepy..." the little witch said with difficulty, lying on Xue Dinglu's back, speaking these words intermittently.

"Don't worry, you get a good night's sleep, and I'll take care of the rest." After Xue Dinglu finished speaking, the little witch responded with a soft hum and fell into a deep sleep on Xue Dinglu's back.

Xue Dinglu silently got up, and the dimensional blade in his hand cleaved open a rift in space. This time, he returned to Lanhai City, the city where those human head balloons in the sky were located.

The unsealing of "Genesis" proves that the world's power is slowly recovering, and the sadness and pain felt by the little witch are also caused by the world's recovery.

As expected, the little witch Susu is essentially a "caterpillar of the world".

Her memories, her experiences, and everything about her may all be fake, a life fabricated by the personality of the woman named "Susu" in the rescue team.

In other words, she is "Margaret," and her body is the vessel of the Pure Land.

Her role was to provide fuel for the world's rebirth.

Just like a caterpillar that keeps replenishing itself with nutrients and grows itself into a plump, white caterpillar, once it has enough nutrients, it will begin to transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly.

However, caterpillars are not butterflies...

For a caterpillar, the moment it emerges from its cocoon, it is already dead. As for the beautiful butterfly that breaks free from its cocoon, it is merely another being sharing the same body with it...

Now is the time for Susu, the caterpillar, to begin absorbing its nutrients.

"I'm sorry, time is running out, you and I are both..." Xue Dinglu didn't know what kind of emotion he should show right now.

Perhaps he should feel sad and upset right now. He even tried to force himself to appear sad, but he couldn't. He simply couldn't. He had completely lost that ability.

"Get some rest, we'll consider purifying Lanhai City tomorrow..." Xue Luding said, placing the little witch under him and clearing a clean space to light a campfire.

The humanoid balloons in the sky continue to patrol, and now, Xue's Law's "Innovation Century" can cover a range of hundreds of kilometers. Although it is insignificant compared to the full-scale coverage of the entire planet, it can still be used on a larger scale.

Most importantly, Xue Law no longer needs Su Su to guide him; he can sense coordinates and transmit them within the scope of "Innovation Century".

A bonfire burned inside the city hall, while human-shaped balloons continued to float in the sky.

The whole world was incredibly quiet, just like that night in the previous city, where even the evil spirits were utterly still.

The campfire seemed to be the only source of light in the city, and Xue Dinglu closed his eyes and rested there.

The next day, the little witch woke up still feeling weak, as if she hadn't fully woken up yet.

"Can you still purify the evil spirits in this city?" Xue Dinglu said, taking out a bag of bread and a bottle of milk and handing them to the little witch.

"It should be, barely enough..." The little witch took the bread and milk, tore open the packaging, and ate it bite by bite. She felt as if she were sick, like having a bad cold.

She felt terrible, as if something was constantly attacking her brain, which made her feel drowsy.

"Brother, am I sick?" she said, her pupils, which had originally belonged to Xue Luding, now looking at him.

"It's just a minor illness, I'll be fine soon." Xue Dinglu controlled his muscles and forced a smile.

"Oh!" The little witch continued eating her bread and drinking the milk from another world, and suddenly felt curious about Xue's world.

That world without evil spirits or demons.

"Brother, does Ultraman really exist in your world?" the little girl asked, struggling to prop herself up and move a dozen centimeters before leaning against Xue Dinglu's chest.

"Don't you already know it's a fairy tale?" Xue asked rhetorically.

"As expected, there's no Tiga..." She gave a forced smile and suddenly said, "If only Tiga were real..."

Xue Dinglu paused for a moment, then looked in the direction the little witch was gazing.

Those were human-shaped balloons floating in the sky.

"If Tiga is real, he definitely won't abandon my world. He'll definitely come to help us, use the invincible Zepellion Ray to pierce through Hell, rescue my comrades, and then purify all the evil spirits so they can be reincarnated..."

“Ultraman… why is it fake…” she said.

Xue Dinglu noticed that she was crying for some reason. Perhaps she realized something, or perhaps she saw more things in her dream after she guided 'Raven's' soul yesterday, which is why she felt compelled to express her feelings today.

But Xue remained silent; he had no idea how to answer that question.

"Let's begin, let's purify this place..." The little witch struggled to her feet, but it was clear that her current physical condition was not enough for her to continue, so she had to rely on Xue Luding to stand up.

"Can you still manage?" Xue Dinglu reached out and placed the cursed blood on her forehead, helping her absorb the pain she was in.

In an instant, the pain, which felt like a severe cold, disappeared, but the dizziness in her head and the weakness in her body could not be eliminated. The little witch said, as if joking, "Brother, it seems that we had quite a few misunderstandings at the beginning."

"Yes, did the Divine Purification Demon Eye see the number of people I killed?"

"Yeah, I really thought you were some kind of big devil back then." She laughed, gradually pulling away from Xue Dinglu's support, and said, "Let's begin, brother."

The little witch began her purifying dance once more.

At this moment, Xue's Law also unfolded "The Century of Innovation," enveloping the entire city within it.

In the sky, the humanoid balloons that had been patrolling their territory paused for a moment, then flew back towards the city hall.

But this time there was no attack; they all came to the little witch's side and seemed to completely dissipate when they were within a kilometer of her.

They then returned to the Pure Land, completely reintegrating into the world.

The little witch's dancing skills deteriorated until she almost fell and the dance was interrupted.

Then she struggled to her feet and began to dance again. In the morning sun, she seemed like a goddess's daughter, beautiful and dreamlike, dancing gracefully.

Chapter 354 The Girl Who Can't Move

As the dance progressed, countless human-shaped balloons in the sky began to transform into dandelions that drifted away in the wind.

In an instant, the sky cleared up, and the floating human-shaped balloons, pure white in the morning sun, scattered with the wind.

All the souls were transferred into the little witch's body. At this moment, only that one last, gigantic humanoid balloon remained in the entire sky.

That is, the mayor of this city, a man named "Kaito".

The human-shaped balloon floated in the sky like a kite, surrounded by dandelions dancing in the wind.

Whether it was Xue's imagination or not, he felt that the balloon demon was laughing, not in a creepy way, but like a relieved smile.

Perhaps the so-called evil spirits are just humans living in another form.

Or perhaps it's just a form that a group of people, desperate to fight demons to the death, acquired forbidden power and thus transformed into.

As the dance ended, the giant balloon in the sky instantly dispersed into a shower of petals, each petal carrying dandelion seeds, swirling throughout the sky.

The entire abandoned city seemed to have transformed into a sea of ​​flowers and dandelions, and the little witch gave a final bow.

Xue Dinglu smiled, and standing next to him was Mayor Kaito, a man who looked very young but was actually quite old.

“Perhaps we made a mistake back then, but who knows?” he said, seemingly speaking to Xue Dinglu, or perhaps to the little witch.

“There must be a better way. After all, we have persisted for so many years and continued to develop. The population is still growing positively. There must be a better way than turning everyone into demons.”

"But time is running out. We don't know how this human demon king came to the mortal world. According to the rules, demon kings are not allowed to descend on planets. They are the root of hell, the cornerstone of hell, and represent the deepest fears."

"The three great demon kings, the Dark Demon King, the Death Demon King, and the newly crowned Human Demon King... only this human demon is the exception."

"This is all we can do. It's better for both sides to lose than for one side to win. Su Su, and Xue Law, we're entrusting our strength to you. From now on, it's up to you."

The second member of the savior team, who had transformed into the evil spirit representing the concept of "sky" in the sky, completely vanished.

Xue covered his eyes again. This time, both the Divine Eye and the Demon Eye transmitted unparalleled pain. This pain caused the capillaries around his eye sockets to burst, and blood gushed out from his eye sockets.

Even in Xue's opinion, the Divine Purification Demon Eye and the Ghost Eye seemed to be on the verge of merging.

A bond seemed to form between their eyes, causing their power to merge, and their pupils slowly rotated within their sockets.

It seemed as if some force was about to emerge, but it was just a little short, just a tiny bit short.
