"Anyway, I'm going to work. If I'm lucky, I should be able to run into some people visiting the graves and give them some delicious food."
"You still say you're not a dog, but aren't you completely used to being fed by people?"
Ji Hui complained, but Feng Gou had already closed the door, as if pretending not to hear, and slipped away towards the cemetery with his tail wagging.
Chapter 225 The Reward
However, compared to the Xinghuang Church that was chasing after Mi Lulu, the ones who arrived here earlier were the experimental personnel from the Dark Mace Garden.
However, their purpose this time was not to continue their previous research on Ji Hui, but to carry out publicity work on the cooperation with the demons as agreed with them last time.
And they were also very sensible. They did not just come to lobby with banners and flyers, but brought many more substantial rewards.
"Wait, you can even bring this?"
Ji Hui was also stunned when he saw a high-end-looking laptop among the bags.
"Oh, this is what Miss Miao Lin requested. She said that if we can prepare a notebook of good quality and with enough storage resources, she will be willing to let us conduct research."
One of the busy staff members spoke up, and opened another package and took out the strange-looking electronic device.
"Also, considering the zombies' bodies are quite stiff, we have also prepared some equipment to facilitate the use of computers by people with disabilities."
"Oh, that's how it is"
Ji Hui nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly reacted.
"Wait, what are these stored resources?"
"Ahem, that's it, Mr. Ji Hui, those resources you know, novels, anime, and some live-action videos."
After glancing awkwardly at the other girls who were looking around curiously at their arrival, he moved a little closer and whispered.
"Although the request is strange, we will still transfer everything that most people in the facility have on hand."
This zombie with a head full of orange waste
The corners of Ji Hui's mouth twitched, and after coughing twice, he nodded slightly.
"ok, I get it."
Moreover, in addition to what Miao Lin requested, some other gifts seemed to have been specially selected by them, which made Ruth and Funado Rika look surprised.
"Eh? I have a share too?"
Looking at the things handed over by the staff, Chizuru Hazen couldn't help but be stunned and said in surprise.
"But I'm not a demon, so I can't participate in the research, right?"
"Please accept these. These are also a small token of appreciation specially arranged by Mr. Duncan. After all, we will have a lot of cooperation in the future."
The researcher in front of her said with a smile, then looked at Yu Mingxue beside her.
"Ms. Yuming, you don't have to feel constrained. This is just our small apology for what happened to you. Please feel free to choose whatever you like."
"As for Miss Mi Lulu, although we have consulted some of our experiences with succubi, none of them seem suitable as gifts. So, for now, we can only bring you some daily clothes and other daily necessities. They may be a little shabby, so I hope you don't mind."
Listening to his words, Mi Lulu's expression became even more hesitant.
"May I ask why you gave me these things?"
"If you want to say it, it should be considered a gesture of goodwill, or an attitude."
The staff member nodded slightly and spoke.
"We are only responsible for transportation and publicity, and some things may not be particularly clear, but we also understand your current doubts and caution."
"These things can be regarded as an expression of the attitude of Dark Mace Garden, or our members of Dark Mace Garden, towards getting along with you."
"Take it, Mi Lulu."
Ji Hui, who also noticed the movement here, spoke directly.
"I can make the decision on this matter. These things have nothing to do with collaborative research or anything like that."
His words made Mi Lulu hesitate for a while before finally taking the clothes.
"In that case, I'll take it first."
"Well, thank you very much."
The staff member nodded, and after giving away these things, he and other staff began the formal promotion and the specific process of collaborative research.
As for Ji Hui, he picked up his phone and looked at the message from Duncan on the screen.
---remuneration.
There is a lot of meaning behind these two simple words.
Is it the reward for letting me protect Milulu, or the reward for attracting the firepower of the Xinghuang Church, or some other unknown reward brought about by my existence?
Or is it all of these?
The other party even specially prepared something for Mi Lulu. Obviously, it was not just to take into account the embarrassing situation that everyone else had gifts but she didn't, so it was a symbolic gesture.
This is deliberately telling themselves that they don't want to bother with the crusade orders arranged by the Xinghuang Church, and just make friends with Milulu directly.
That old fox
It was as if it was telling him to attract the attention of the Xinghuang Church and then have a fight with them to dampen their enthusiasm, which made Ji Hui mutter in his heart.
Although I have decided to take in Milulu, it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts with them, but Duncan obviously wants to add fuel to the fire.
Could it be that he was already a little unhappy with the Xinghuang Church? Even now, it looked like he was eager for me to give them a hard blow.
As the entire hall became bustling with activity, Ji Hui gently shook his head and put his thoughts aside.
Anyway, since Duncan took the initiative to hand the knife to me, I don’t mind keeping it.
As for whether to use it or not, it depends on what the Xinghuang Church is like and whether they are willing to sit down and talk calmly.
If the negotiations fail, at least he won't have to worry about a strong counterattack from Anjianyuan.
So he shook his head slightly, and after a long sigh, he joined the staff in front of him to see if there was anything he could do for him.
boom----
The sound of the gun barrel exploding made the man howl in pain the next moment. He hunched over on the ground, trying to get a little relief from the intense pain.
But soon, his hands and feet were tied up tightly, leaving him no room for relief. He could only wail as the blood continued to flow.
"I felt like the time was almost right, and I couldn't help but start."
Looking at the miserable man beneath him, Duncan spoke slowly, pressing the scorching muzzle of the gun against the man's forehead, causing him to scream in even greater pain.
However, he showed no mercy and spoke coldly like a judge.
"We planted bugs and other devices in the supplies sent to the Demon Eye House. Do you really think we wouldn't find anything?"

tear-
The muzzle of the gun moved back slightly, causing the burnt skin to feel pain again from the pulling action, making the man's face even paler.
"What's wrong? You're not going to kill me anymore?"
However, although he was gasping for breath, the corners of the man's mouth curled up slightly, and he asked slowly in a trembling voice.
"Come on, shoot me to death if you can."
"You will die sooner or later, so there's no rush."
Duncan completely ignored his provocation and just spoke in a calm tone.
"Besides, your accomplices have already been captured by us. No one will come to rescue you."
When his companion was mentioned, the man's expression suddenly became angry, and his body kept struggling, as if he wanted to rush up and punch Duncan hard.
However, under the situation of being suppressed by three or four people, he could only stare at Duncan in front of him, unable to offer any resistance.
"Coward, after licking those magical girls, now you want to lick that outer demon?"
"So, is stuffing surveillance cameras and dangerous objects into the home of someone who saved a city almost twice, but you yourself failed to save anyone the entire time, what you call bravery?"
"Don't tell me what to do here! Duncan! Don't tell me you've forgotten everything that happened before!"
"That's how the last extraterritorial demon treated us. The price we paid for trying to cooperate was that our families and half the city were wiped out by what that bastard called the price of not submitting! And what are you doing? Waiting for him to become strong enough so that the same thing can happen to you again?!"
"What will you say then? Things shouldn't have been this way. I didn't expect that extraterritorial demon to suddenly turn hostile? That extraterritorial demon was hiding so deeply that no one expected it."
The man growled, and seemed to have almost forgotten the pain in his leg. He just struggled violently, causing scarlet liquid to continuously flow out of the blood hole.
"That's it, I understand."
Duncan also gently closed his eyes, took a deep breath, raised his palm, and pointed the gun at the man in front of him again.
boom----
Amidst the shrill sound that drowned out the man's roar, the originally tense body completely relaxed, allowing those people to collapse.
"We can't let this hatred continue, Pine."
Murmuring the former name of the corpse in front of him, Duncan slowly raised his head, revealing the calm expression that seemed to have remained unchanged from beginning to end.
"Get rid of him and bury him next to his family."
"Mr. Duncan, what about the others?"
"If they can be persuaded, persuade them well and detain them until they calm down. As for those who, like him, can no longer be persuaded..."
Duncan paused before continuing.
"We can't allow the fragile balance we've finally established to drag more people down because of hatred."
"Yes, we understand."
Those people nodded, and then began to deal with the body on the ground and dragged him out of the room.
Duncan just sniffed the familiar smell of gunpowder and blood in the air and stared at the darkness outside the window.
Well, just as he thought, with the cooperation with the House of Demon Eye, some restless existences in the Dark Mace Garden began to stir.
Although there has been no direct and secret contact with the Eye Demon, the supplies delivered, the installation of eavesdropping devices and other surveillance equipment, and even other dangerous items have already surfaced.
However, even though I have known that this moment will come sooner or later, the impact it has caused still makes me feel a little regretful.
There are some things that cannot be forgotten or endured, and those hatreds will eventually affect more things, so that people will eventually forget the original purpose.
: Those who have sacrificed their lives to save ordinary people cannot avoid the pain brought by the death and sacrifice of their loved ones.
How would that extraterritorial demon react when he saw with his own eyes those people eventually turning into human bombs and trying to affect their own lives through suicide explosions?
Is he furious, or is he grief-stricken, or is he just asking for compensation as if it is none of his business?
I don't know that all I can rely on is the balance that I can barely maintain at the moment, and the trust in this fragile moment.
That's why I must never let this bit of trust be broken, even if it means taking actions that are unacceptable to many people.
"Holy Spirit Temple"
Looking at the stars in the night sky, Duncan murmured softly.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
Is the power of those magical girls a blessing, or is it interest that will be returned sooner or later?
What do the Fallen Evil Girl and the Broken Star Palace want to do?
I need strength, I need means, what I need is not to continue to avenge the sacrifices and injuries in a fog, but to completely lift the fog and let them die clearly and openly.
For me, this is the only way to truly let them rest in peace.
Da da da----
The hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer, causing Duncan to slowly turn around.
boom----
The door was swung open, revealing Charles, who was wearing a white coat, his hair was completely messy, and even the legs of his glasses slipped down from his ears due to the intense movement.
However, he didn't care at all. He just leaned against the door frame with heavy breathing and tremblingly lifted the stack of papers in his hand.
"Mr. Duncan has it"
"take me."
Without any nonsense, Duncan just walked over, took the papers in his hand, and walked straight out the door, letting Charles stumble and follow behind him, returning to the laboratory together.
