However, Ophelia did not show any obvious emotion because of this, and just spoke up to remind her.

"While there does seem to be some deeper meaning, it's not impossible that some demon kings at the time maintained friendly relations with humans due to their friendship. It's possible that they are referring to the disruption of the balance of these exchanges."

"Also, a month later, the city I lived in was invaded by demons and I had to relocate. This also supports this view."

After hearing her words, the expressions of Rika Funado and Milulu became a little strange, but Ophelia also noticed their abnormality and just shook her head slightly.

"You don't need to worry about it. That happened a long, long time ago. Demons devoured and enslaved humans, and humans eliminated and controlled the demons. This cycle continued endlessly. After so many years, it's no longer a question of who was right or wrong, or who came first or last. You don't need to project those same thoughts onto yourself now."

"What's more, considering the current situation of the demons, it's meaningless to dwell on this."

“But, this still brings us back to the starting point.”

And Ji Hui also sighed and leaned back on the soft cushions.

"If even a living history book like you doesn't know, then I'm afraid no one in this world knows what happened back then."

"I haven't reached that level yet. Moreover, I have only been fighting against the Broken Star Palace for so many years and have rarely been involved in human society. Therefore, I don't necessarily have much more information than the Memorial Hall."

Ophelia denied Ji Hui's statement and said seriously.

Her clear attitude made Ji Hui say nothing more. He just nodded slightly and turned his gaze back to the projection.

Although he had almost finished reading the content about the origin of demons, he was still planning to study some other areas to see if he could find anything else worth paying attention to.

Compared to him who was enjoying himself, the others felt a little bored. So after a while, except for Hanezaki Chikuzuru and Mizoe Mingxue, the others dispersed and searched for places that interested them in the memorial hall.

"Sure enough, there's so much energy here."

Funado Rika rubbed her arms slightly, as if she had goose bumps, and her whole body trembled unconsciously.

"Oh yes, you are a spirit, so this aspect should be more obvious to you than it is to me."

Beside her, Mi Lulu, who was playing with the holographically projected map directory, spoke thoughtfully, causing Funado Rika to hiss slightly.

"Don't even mention it, it's like a slap in the face. It reminds me of when I was first locked up in the basement of Dark Mace Garden for no apparent reason. I was also surrounded by a cage-like energy."

"Why don't you hide inside me?"

Seeing her rubbing her arms, Mi Lulu asked subconsciously.

"No, no, I don't want to drill into your body."

However, Funado Rika immediately shook her head, which made Mi Lulu's expression look a little dissatisfied.

"What do you mean, is my body that dirty?"

"It's not a question of whether it's dirty or not. Your body is like a piece of clothing that enhances my sensitivity. If I were to go in, would you remember the time we were hugging each other in our sleeping bags on the plane?"

"Even though you've adapted to the succubus's body and won't feel anything, if I get inside, it would be like someone who can't handle spicy food eating an extra spicy dish prepared for special people. I'd be greatly affected."

"I see. Now that you put it that way, I understand."

After her explanation, Mi Lulu also spoke thoughtfully.

"Now that you mention it, it seems your penetration isn't particularly invincible."

"It's just because your body is special. I have no problem with people like Miao Lin and Ruth."

Rika Funadotari curled her lips, then seemed to have thought of something, and floated in front of the holographic projection and opened the records about ghosts.

"Hey, now that you mention it, I remember that I really don't quite understand how I became a ghost."

"Although I have seen similar demons, they are already what people call evil spirits and vengeful spirits. They only know how to wander around aimlessly and attack people when they see them. Most of them have been eliminated by demon slayers or magical girls like Chizuru."

"It seems so. Apart from you, Li Xiang, I have rarely seen a ghost like you who is so conscious and can exist for a long time and live like a normal person."

After hearing what Rika Funado said, Milulu thought about it and was somewhat surprised to find that people like her were indeed rare. So she also put her head close to the screen and looked at the information displayed on it.

"Ghost search → Shu¥group↑:/悟熘?±ˇ衈Ghost Why are all the messages coming from vengeful spirits and ghosts? Block, block, block."

Looking at the long string of information containing all kinds of evil spirits, Funado Rika grumbled in dissatisfaction, and instructed the projector to start screening immediately.

The originally numerous information was also simplified a lot at once, making the entire page appear much clearer.

"Ah, it seems so."

Seeing a message mentioning the formation of derivative words, Rika Funado clicked on it curiously and browsed the information above.

——In certain environments, the birth of demons will be more obvious.

——Feng Shui, fairyland, sanctuary, although the names vary from place to place, they all divide and define these environments that are different from the general situation.

$q+*ⅷ~伍%qi¤≥悟√妻≮(0)()*%霸£——From the perspective of modern society, these places that are like treasures are mostly places with abundant magic power and unique ecology. Whether it is magic power that affects the environment, or the environment that affects magic power, this point is not yet sufficient to prove.

——And similar environments will also cause changes in this place. For example, some demons will become stronger, and the originally aimless undead will live in special forms like ordinary people.

——However, this situation rarely happens. Most of the undead are just like a last ray of light, and disappear again after a period of time. Especially after leaving the original area, it is difficult for them to survive in the thin magic power. Therefore, some exorcists who used to make a living by driving ghosts would also preserve ghosts in special cages rich in magic power.

Chapter 411 Spiritual Vein Treasure Land

"Get up, get up! Anyone who doesn't get up now is a lazy dog! Hurry up and get up!"

At Ruth's call, some demons woke up from the yard with sleepy eyes and began a new day in the coughing sound.

As the House of the Demon Eye becomes more and more famous, more and more demons come here seeking seclusion.

Moreover, since there were relatively few human forms among them, the rooms they had originally prepared were not comfortable enough. Therefore, with the help of the magical girl, Ruth, Miao Lin and others opened up a large yard in the back mountain of the Demon Eye House for these non-human monsters to live in.

Anyway, the entire back mountain is tacitly accepted as the territory of the Demon Eye House. They can make any changes they want, as long as they don't make any big changes that affect the ordinary people living below the mountain.

So they took this opportunity to open up a few vegetable gardens, making the three meals a day at the Magic Eye House more and more self-sufficient.

Anyway, most demons will be relatively idle after finding a relatively comfortable environment, and there are not that many pure houseworks to do, so it is also good to let them do some of this kind of work as rent.

Therefore, during the period when Ji Hui and others were away, the House of the Demon Eye continued to develop and became more and more perfect bit by bit.

"By the way, Ruth, you've been sleeping here for a long time, right?"

Looking at Ruth who had finished her daily tasks and returned to the hall to rest, Miao Lin, who was reading a comic book, raised her head and asked curiously.

After this period of "rehabilitation", her body is now basically the same as that of an ordinary person, and she can perform various body movements with ease.

"Ah? No, I've been working constantly since I came to the Demon Eye House. How could I have so much time to sleep?"

Ruth, who had hung her coat on the hanger, letting her white pleated shirt complement her fair skin, shook her head and sat on the sofa on the other side.

"See, even my biological clock is basically the same as yours now. I used to be nocturnal and dormant during the day."

"I'm not talking about the Demon Eye's House, I'm talking about Yanming City."

Miao Lin crossed her legs, making her breasts, which looked smoother against the bluish-gray background, appear more symmetrical and firm under the pressure.

"I heard Chizuru and the others say before that you seem to have been staying here since her mother was still alive, right?"

"Oh, that's right. I was wandering for a very long time, and magical girls were becoming more and more popular. So when Yuzen Ai invited me to stay and take me under her wing, I didn't refuse. I ended up sleeping for decades, and ended up slept her to death."

Ruth nodded slightly, and after thinking about it, she also spoke.

"So what was your relationship with her like at the time? Did you feel any pressure?"

"The relationship was okay, after all, we were considered good friends back then. Although there were some minor frictions, overall we were still able to trust each other. After all, she was my benefactor."

"As for the pressure you mentioned, there shouldn't be any. Ai is a very gentle girl. Although she can be quite strong at times, she's still gentle and elegant. It's just that after she got a boyfriend, she started pushing me, her best friend, away."

Recalling the past, Ruth blinked her crimson eyes curiously after she finished explaining.

"What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"We have more manpower now, so when I had some free time, I went for a stroll down the mountain to the city."

As the number of demons increased, the originally stretched situation changed. Therefore, even if there were only two elders, Ruth and Miao Lin, they would not be so busy every day and could hand over the affairs to other more trustworthy demons.

Of course, Nicole should be considered one of them, but now she has to repay the debt she owed to Jiu, so she works very hard at the church and gets up earlier than the two of them.

Especially recently, she called and sent messages to Mi Lulu, but the other party always read the messages but did not reply, which made her look sad every day, and she muttered things like "Is Mi Lulu going to be taken away by that wild man?"

"Wait, you're going downtown? Is your zombie body suitable?"

Ruth was stunned for a moment and asked with some concern.

"No problem, no problem. After all, it's still winter outside. If you put on your trousers, coat, hat, and mask, no one will notice. Besides, there are members of the Anjianyuan following us."

Miao Lin said this in a relaxed tone, and then brought the topic back on track.

"So during this time, I also walked around Yanming City several times and visited the Yuzen Shrine."

"I didn't feel anything before, but now it seems that the Feng Shui in Yanming City has some tricks."

"What do you mean?"

Ruth's expression turned confused, and Miao Lin continued to explain.

"What I mean is, this place can be considered a spiritual place. It has relatively abundant magical power and contains many details related to metaphysics. In theory, the demons living here will be stronger than those in some other areas."

"Now that you mention it, when I first came to Yanming City, I did feel that the environment here was more comfortable."

After she reminded her of this, Ruth also murmured thoughtfully.

"And after I woke up, Qianzuru also mentioned that the number of demons here has dropped significantly due to the reckless pursuit of the magical girls by Ji Hui. However, when the House of the Demon Eye was established, the number of demons here was relatively higher than in other places."

"Could this also be the influence of the spiritual land you mentioned?"

"Well, that's part of the reason."

"Because I was hiding in the coffin before, I was always traveling in the suburbs, so I didn't notice it much. No wonder I always feel something is different here."

Seeing Miao Lin's emotional look, Ruth also became interested.

"So, according to what you said, besides the increase in demons, are there any other impacts on the spiritual land?"

"Well... basically, the vegetation is relatively lush, and life is healthier. Other impacts include stronger spells, more comfortable demonic life, and more frequent paranormal phenomena."

"But basically, it's pretty much the same. I walked along the spiritual vein and found that it seemed to be a little weakened. It seems that it consumed too much in one breath, so it is recuperating. It basically won't have any impact on my life."

"only"

Miao Lin paused, and after making Ruth's expression even more curious, she continued slowly.

"If we follow the spiritual vein, the location of the Yuzen Shrine happens to be at the intersection of Yanming City and the surrounding area, just like a spring. Therefore, theoretically, the reaction should be greater."

Chapter 412 Offerings

"Uncle Yuzen Jinja Shrine] 4 [Black tumor four transferˇ; Group:?"

Her words made Ruth's eyes widen slightly.

Only after she recovered from her surprise did she frown and speak.

"However, this should be normal. After all, they are a family of demon hunters. It is normal for them to consider the spiritual veins and feng shui when building a shrine."

"It's normal indeed, but theoretically speaking, the Yuzen family should be quite powerful, being located at the intersection of spiritual veins of this level."

Miao Lin stroked his chin and expressed his guess.

"Even if they're not at the level of magical girls, they should be at the next level. I wonder if it's the weakening of their spiritual veins that has led to their gradual decline."

"But after taking a closer look, I saw that the shrine over there also seemed to have some kind of barrier set up. Not on the surface, but somewhere within it."

"I don't know the exact structure, but the placement of the spiritual veins, mountain paths, shrines, and even the torii gates and shrines all seem to follow some kind of ritualistic pattern. Logically, they should be utilizing the spiritual veins to perform some sort of ritual."

"Of course, it's also possible that the ritual itself was lost along with the technique in a certain generation. This is quite common for many families of demon hunters."

Miao Lin spoke, causing Ruth to ponder for a moment before asking.

"So according to what you said, what do you think the ritual is most likely used for?"

"It's a shrine after all, so it's pretty easy to guess."

As Miao Lin spoke, she raised two fingers.

"One is to suppress some evil creature. This requires using the energy of the spirit vein to create a powerful seal, and through the formations of the shrine and other props, it can continue to produce the effect and achieve a permanent effect."

"The other type is the exact opposite. It's used to worship some powerful being, such as a god or a master. The spirit vein itself is a kind of heavenly blessing. Altars are built on this blessing to offer sacrifices to the god, praying for protection and seeking strength."

"Things like summoning spirits and using divine powers all come from here. When I was alive, some exorcists did that."

"Of course, we all know now that a truly omniscient and omnipotent god is paradoxically impossible to exist. Therefore, most of these gods refer to some powerful beings, including demons."

As Miao Lin spoke, her expression became curious.

"Oh yeah, come to think of it, I don't seem to know what deity the Hazen Shrine has been enshrined in. Do you know?"

"Well, Ai seems to rarely mention this aspect either. Rather, since the advent of modern times, with the emergence of magical girls and fallen demons, even these demon slayers are mostly just trying to be lucky."

After thinking about it, Ruth answered with some hesitation.

"All I know is that they worship some god-like being, said to be a powerful being that controls all evil things and protects humans and other beings."
