The Eye Demon Doesn't Die from the Magical Girl

The little confusion in her heart did not affect Tracy's writing. While savoring the cake and recording, she completed the report to be submitted to the headquarters. After taking a photo and saving it as an electronic version, she folded it neatly.

After finishing the remaining cake, she walked out of her room and gently knocked on Lilina's door.

"Lilina, are you there? Please send a report letter to headquarters."

Since Zenia and Lilina don't get along, the local nuns in the branch church probably have some grudges against her. Instead of letting her stay here all the time, it would be better to let her run some errands or something.

However, after more than ten seconds, there was no sign of the door opening, which made Tracy frown.

"Lilina, are you in the room?"

After knocking on the door again but getting no response at all, she suddenly felt a headache.

She suddenly felt that she should also highlight Lilina's bad behavior.

Chapter 280 The Future

"Hurry up, hurry up! The experiment will have to be suspended during the transportation. We need to make more efforts now."

"We'll have plenty of time to rest while we move the equipment to the new location. Now let's keep working hard. With so much data, we should be able to make some breakthroughs."

Under the urging of the researchers, the entire laboratory was bustling with activity even late at night, making them maintain tense and excited expressions as they moved around among the various devices.

Duncan also stood in the open space, stepping back slightly to avoid affecting others, while directing other personnel to temporarily move out the equipment that was hardly used to make room for the upcoming battle.

"Mr. Duncan, where are we going to move these things?"

"Put them all in the lowest level shelter."

When asked by the other personnel, Duncan also spoke up, causing them to nod slightly.

Ji Hui specifically requested to keep these devices, and they are also important equipment for him to manage this research institute in the future. They cannot let them be affected and damaged in the battle.

That's why he came here in person to prevent his subordinates from accidentally causing any trouble.

However, those present were basically all veterans, and there were no problems in this regard. Instead, he could only watch the researchers conducting various experiments most of the time without being able to intervene.

After all, he is not an expert in this field, and the truly professional matters should be left to those people themselves.

Fortunately, they did not disappoint his expectations, and soon they ran towards him hurriedly in the chaos.

"Sure enough, it's true, our guess is correct."

The researcher from the temple who hadn't even put on his coat spoke excitedly, his body trembling slightly.

"It turned out that we were right to study demons. Compared to magical girls and fallen demons, demons are more suitable for our way of survival."

"Sit down and talk slowly."

Looking at how they were crowded together, Duncan asked them to calm down first. Then he raised his hand to signal the others to continue working, sat on a chair on the side, and asked them to find a chair on the test bench and sit down.

"Unlike before, this time with the active cooperation of the demons from the Demon Eye House, we can compare a greater number of numbers."

"We referenced their magic and ways of survival. Although their races and habits are different, they do share many common characteristics in some basic ways of survival."

"Furthermore, this characteristic also matches the data previously researched by the Fallen Demon believers, indicating that it is indeed universal in many places."

"Unlike magical girls and fallen demons who possess technological black boxes, demons are indeed native to the land, just like us. They were only influenced by a little bit of magic, transforming into another race of creatures that are different from humans."

"In this respect, the same is true for demon slayers. So, theoretically, our society should be primarily human, with a small number of demon slayers fighting demons. Gradually, the supernatural should be integrated into the overall life and cultural development, eventually combining the two in a parallel form. Whether it's magical girls, fallen demons, or outer demons, they are all considered outsiders who don't belong on this planet."

"It's just that magical girls are human girls who have been promoted, so their values ​​and lifestyles are still the same as ours."

"In this regard, we also focused on questioning Ms. Chizuru Hazen, who is both a demon slayer and a magical girl. She also admitted that in some ways, demon slayers and demons are of the same origin."

The researcher's tone became a little hurried after a series of words, so the other person simply took over his words.

"Also, why are magical girls so powerful? Why is their magic so special? They even have the ability to fulfill wishes under the power of the Holy Spirit Temple. Perhaps this aspect can be used as a breakthrough point."

"We've discovered many similarities between demon slayers and magical girls, so we've come up with our hypothesis."

"Perhaps in a sense, magical girls are the future form of demon slayers. They are a possible form we've reached through the development of magic and technology. It's just that this process has been accelerated in some way by the Holy Spirit Temple, and it has been manifested in advance in the form of individuals."

"So, next, we plan to find other demon slayers to further verify this conclusion."

"In this regard, it's easy to find people like Ms. Chizuru Hazen who are exorcists themselves and also work as magical girls. It shouldn't take too much effort."

Looking at their excited expressions, Duncan was silent for a while and then slowly spoke.

"Then, most importantly, how can we utilize this research result to gain the power to protect ourselves?"

"We already have some clues on this aspect."

When he asked this question, the researcher also showed a somewhat smug expression.

"Although we don't possess the talent for controlling magic like an exorcist, Ji Hui's similarity and contact with mysticism have given us great inspiration. Perhaps we can learn from the existence of demons and disguise ourselves as demons to harness the energy of magic."

"That's the magic armor seen in some works. If it can be successful, although it's hard to say whether our combat power can reach the level of magical girls all at once, at least when facing the Gray Realm and the Broken Star Palace, we won't be completely locked in a technological black box and unable to do anything."

"Our biggest concern has always been that under the attacks of the Shattered Star Palace and the Gray Realm, it seems as if they are incompatible, making it difficult for our technological weapons to cause damage. However, if we can understand this, perhaps we can reverse-engineer other methods to apply magic power to the original weapons."

"Very good, you all worked hard."

After finally making substantial progress, or having a direction to work towards, Duncan's face, which had always remained indifferent, finally showed a faint smile, and his shoulders relaxed a little.

After all, there were only a few days left before he issued the military order and was sure to achieve results.

That is why he tried his best to meet Ji Hui's requirements, hoping to speed up the research process through closer cooperation.

Now it seems that his choice was correct. Otherwise, he would have wasted precious opportunities in the constant wrangling and speculation.

But soon, his expression returned to normal and he gave instructions for the next step.

"Don't announce this information immediately. Even to the other leaders of the Dark Mace Garden, don't tell them casually. Do you understand?"

Chapter 281 The Impact of Communication

His words also made the researchers slightly stunned, and their originally excited expressions also paused.

"Um, Mr. Duncan, shouldn't we tell everyone this good news earlier?"

"Yes, yes, this is a truly major discovery for us. If we can get more people involved in the research, we will definitely be able to make a breakthrough soon."

"I know what you're thinking and how you feel, but you should just calm down a bit."

Duncan also raised his hand to signal them to stay calm and slowly began to explain.

"You also said that this experiment requires the cooperation of a large number of demon exorcists, right?"

"So, have you ever thought about what would happen if they don't cooperate?"

After his question, the researchers were speechless for a moment.

"People always want to make progress. Even if some people are unwilling to cooperate, they will be forcibly dragged along by those who want to move forward, and even cause bloodshed."

"We've already had several conflicts over demons. Even some of our information comes from their research into demon imprisonment and bloodshed. Do you think some people would really be afraid to attack us from behind just because they're demon hunters?"

"Once word truly gets out, all sorts of people will flock to it: those who want to achieve results quickly, those who want to rely on these results for fame and fortune, those who want to use these results to vent their discontent, those who cling to false glory and resist other groups. If we can't control it, not only will research not continue, but exorcists, the Dark Mace Garden, and even magical girls and demons will start to cause trouble."

After hearing Duncan's words, the researchers finally reacted and had a thoughtful expression on their faces.

After all, they are at least researchers. They are indeed talented in experiments and research, but they are far less skilled than Duncan, the person in charge, in terms of overall control and maintaining organizational relationships.

"Most of the current slayer families have either been chosen to become magical girls or are still working as before. Although we've divided up the commissions for protection purposes, ensuring that most slayers won't be left starving to death by having no commissions snatched away by magical girls, overall, they're still declining under the prevalence of the more powerful magical girl group."

"In this regard, Dark Mace Garden has also been maintaining close ties with the families of demon exorcists. Through the talismans and other products they sell, we strive to gain some self-defense capabilities in battles against fallen demons and the Fallen Daughter. This is a long-term mutually beneficial relationship."

"If this news spreads too widely, it will definitely cause some concern that we are planning to develop new powers and no longer need to purchase items from them, not to mention that we intend to further gain results by studying them."

"Therefore, before these preparations are officially completed, we cannot easily release it, otherwise it will only cause changes and chaos in advance."

"In this regard, I will formally discuss this with the others at the next meeting of the responsible persons. You just need to continue to maintain it. Do you understand?"

"Yes, we understand."

After his explanation, the researchers who also realized that this information was actually a hot potato nodded one after another. At Duncan's suggestion, they resumed their research on the various samples in their hands.

Duncan also left the research institute temporarily. After walking outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the cold temperature from the outside trying to penetrate into his body through the protection of his clothes.

It seems that there is no way to be too quiet this year.

With the Chinese New Year only a few weeks away, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Although it should be moving in a good direction overall, if we relax, it will be easier for the original balance to be completely disrupted.

However, since the arrow is already on the string, all I can do is catch the wind as much as possible and let it fly to where I want to go.

I wonder how many controversial issues will arise in this meeting.

Duncan felt a slight headache starting to ache at the thought of dealing with other people in the meeting.

Although they are basically united in terms of the person in charge, everyone is different in terms of specific execution and treatment of subordinates.

I hope Cavill can let himself go a little this time.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand the other person’s feelings or thoughts. He also believes that the other person understands his thoughts as well.

However, understanding and recognition are two different things, which is why he has always been at odds with the other party.

So he basically anticipated how the other party would argue with him in this meeting.

Of course, with substantial results as solid evidence, I also look forward to the other party showing a frustrated expression.

Unfortunately, after knowing that he had provided Ji Hui with another set of research facilities and a group of researchers, he became furious again.

Looking at the stars emitting faint light in the night sky above his head, Duncan took out a cigarette from his pocket and slowly lit it.

He actually seldom smokes. He even carries cigarettes with him purely for special situations.

In addition to tobacco, a pistol, a telescopic self-defense stick, a lighter, and a cigarette box containing blades and explosives are basically the things he carries with him at all times.

"call"

Surrounded by white smoke, Duncan felt his mind became a little clearer and prepared to return to the facility to direct others to complete the work here as soon as possible.

However, when he turned his head, a flash of darkness inexplicably flashed from the edge of his vision, causing him to pause. He turned his head like lightning, and his eyes were fixed on the place he had just been.

However, it was as if the blurred vision was caused by turning my head too quickly. When my sight was fixed again, it completely disappeared. There was no abnormality at all. Only the almost completely dry weeds on the wasteland were rustling in the cold wind.

Illusion is rampant

Duncan's expression became even colder. He completely closed the door behind him and locked it.

"Charles, from now on, don't let anyone out of the building. Do you understand?"

After raising the phone to his ear and whispering this, Duncan stood at the door, as if he had no intention of leaving, just looking around.

He believed in his intuition, so if there was anything unusual, it must be true.

Even after a whole night, no signs of the enemy infiltrating were found.

Watching the sky gradually brightening in the early morning, Duncan, who had been on guard all night, did not feel any regret. Instead, he silently asked everyone to continue speeding up the moving process.

It has become more unsafe here.

Chapter 282: The Hottest Gain

"Finally, you're here."

Looking at the building in front of him, Ji Hui breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

After all, after the fight tonight, this place will belong to them. It's their own property, so they have to take a good look at it.

"Are you sure you won't destroy this place too thoroughly when you fight later?"

Beside him, Mi Lulu also asked subconsciously.

"After all, the last battle alone destroyed nearly half of the Demon Eye House. This time, they'll probably have to come in full force. If the entire base is destroyed, wouldn't it be even more difficult to rebuild it?"

"Don't worry, the truly valuable and important things have already been stored in the shelter. Compared to them and those researchers, the cost of renovation alone is actually very low."

Ji Hui waved his hand, and there was a hint of relief in his tone, which made her expression even more uneasy.

"But are you sure you can beat them? Last time we were on home turf, and we had other magical girls with us who blocked some of the attacks."

As she spoke, she looked to the side.

Since the ostensible reason this time was to invite them to come for research, neither Chizuru Yuzen, Yu Mingxue, nor Feng Yingying came with them.

At this moment, the only people accompanying him were Ruth, Rika Funado, Miao Lin, and Feng Gou, four demons.

"Mi Lulu, what's going on? Are you feeling a bit cold? Let me put my coat on you."

Well, we have to add Nicole who came along.

"No need."

After directly and dryly rejecting the smiling Nicole, Milulu turned her head away again.
