The Eye Demon Doesn't Die from the Magical Girl

Chapter 426 Invisible Attack

Duncan's face darkened, and he angrily placed the eight pieces of information in his hand on the table. Thirty-five!

“We are under attack.”

"what?"

Because of his sudden call, the people who gathered in the conference room were stunned and subconsciously looked around.

"Attacked? Where?"

Sha Hongyi's expression showed a hint of confusion. He checked his mobile phone and found no other reports of attacks.

"It's not a physical attack, but an intangible, spiritual impact."

As Duncan spoke, he distributed the documents that had been copied in advance to other people.

"At the very beginning, there were rumors that Ji Hui's presence indirectly led to the attack on the members of Anjianyuan."

"The next thing was that the Dark Mace Garden did nothing and allowed him to roam freely in the Starfall City."

"Add to that the fact that some magical girls and members of the Dark Mace Garden appeared in various regions, unable to distinguish right from wrong and attempting to drag innocent people with them, causing the guards to become exhausted both physically and mentally."

"Among those magical girls who came on the expedition, there were also various rumors about Anjianyuan's incompetence and cowardice."

"And now, because of the weapons control, there has been discord and conflict between the new group of people coming to the island, the security guards, and even the people on the island who originally opposed this request."

As he spoke, the others also looked down at the organized information.

However, they had already seen a lot of these things in their daily work, so the only one who really browsed them carefully was Kawauchi Sae, who had safely reached the island later.

After roughly understanding these things, he slowly raised his head and looked at Duncan with his middle-aged face, which was already stained with some traces of time.

"Is there any substantial evidence? If not, then with all due respect, this should be within our expectations."

"After all, satisfying everyone is impossible. Furthermore, you actually brought that controversial extraterritorial demon with you. I find it unlikely that these rumors wouldn't spread."

"There's substantial evidence. My people are investigating as best they can, but the proportion of these rumors is already 20% higher than others estimated."

Duncan took a deep breath and explained to him.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Starfall City has become increasingly noisy and boisterous. Ji Hui has been at the arena all this time. He should be a suitable outlet, allowing most residents to reasonably and safely vent their negative emotions and their prejudices against him."

"However, the dissatisfaction and attacks against him have not diminished in the slightest. Instead, they've intensified, even targeting Dark Mace Garden and the magical girls themselves. They're even leaning towards a split. This clearly goes against normal rules."

"Someone is deliberately stirring up trouble behind the scenes and trying to let the rumors continue to spread, using a knife to kill someone else and causing Starfall City to become increasingly chaotic."

"They're not targeting our military power, but our management system. They're trying to create chaos, making our information increasingly redundant and confusing, thereby undermining public credibility and even paralyzing it, causing even greater chaos."

After tapping the table lightly with her slender fingers for a while, Rebecca maintained a serious expression for a rare time and spoke to Duncan.

"But, you need to consider one thing."

"Even if we consider all of this as a factual situation and vigorously crack down on these rumors, even if we jail all the rumormongers and pass the responsibility down to the public, it will only make more people think that we are angry and trying to silence more people, thus further affecting the entire Dark Mace Garden."

"And the other party doesn't need to put in any effort at all, or even actually show up. They just need to complain like an ordinary person in a store or somewhere else, as if chatting casually. They don't even need to think about their words in advance. They just say whatever comes to mind and come up with some nonsense that sounds convincing. The cost is almost zero."

"Under these circumstances, our situation is overwhelmingly unfavorable. If we don't handle it properly, we'll only be digging our own graves and becoming a laughing stock in front of all members."

Her words also made Duncan nod slightly.

"Of course I know this. We are in the open, while those people are in the dark. This is an inherent disadvantage."

"Not to mention, we've already missed the opportunity and let the rumors fester. Even if we try to clarify now, we'll be rebuffed by responses like, 'If that's the case, why didn't you explain it right away? Are you responding now because you've already figured out how to deal with it?'"

"However, we cannot remain silent or be overly draconian in handling similar incidents. Any attempt to force a solution in the midst of impatience will only serve as an excuse for further exploitation."

After thinking for a while, Sha Hongyi raised his hand slightly and asked.

"Given the current number of people, I'm afraid everything we do will be affected. The security team is already stretched thin, not to mention that some of them are facing their own friends and companions. I'm afraid they won't feel much better either."

"It's relatively simple in terms of the number of people involved. The problem is, if we get too involved in things like a couple's disagreement or even a quarrel between friends, it could easily backfire."

"Or, how about we divide the roles of good cop and bad cop now? I don't mind being the scapegoat. After all, I'm relatively new, unlike you who are already well-known and trusted, so it's normal for problems to arise, and the impact of the collapse will be minimal."

"As long as they label me the culprit for spreading rumors, and their purpose is to arouse public dissatisfaction with the Extraterritorial Demons, this will at least divert attention and relieve pressure."

"Otherwise, by the time we actually catch those rats, it might be too late. Not to mention they can use their own innocent scapegoats as an excuse."

His tone was very calm, as if he had no dissatisfaction or concern at the fact that he was used as a scapegoat. He just made such a suggestion.

"You, if the person in charge of Dark Mace Garden were to encounter such a serious problem, it wouldn't be as simple as simply dismissing you. You would also be held responsible for the bloodshed, and you might even end up dead."

Rebecca's brows suddenly furrowed, reminding him of the danger of his words.

However, Sha Hongyi shrugged without any hesitation.

"But, there will be bloodshed anyway, right? At least this way, the losses will be less."

"At least, if the time I bought allows you to catch those stinky rats, then it will be worth it."

Chapter 427 Focus Shift

"So do you have any other suggestions? If not, then I should take my men and prepare some evidence to expose me."

Looking at their frowning expressions, Sha Hongyi asked again.

However, before anyone else could answer, the sound of pushing coming from outside the closed door made them all fall silent and turn their heads to look outside.

This conference room was built with the highest level of confidentiality, and the walls were equipped with several layers of sound insulation and other shielding devices to ensure that their contents would not be leaked.

But even so, their instinctive alertness made them stop talking completely for the time being.

"Mr. Luo, you're here?"

"I'm so glad you're safe."

Luo Mi walked towards one of the empty chairs with the help of his crutches, glanced around at the few people, especially at the information in front of them, and then slowly spoke after pausing for a few seconds.

"It seems that you have already discovered the problem. Fortunately, your reaction is quite sensitive."

His words also made Duncan's eyes flash with surprise.

"You already know?"

"Well, I was already a little suspicious when the security personnel at the airport asked me to remove my weapons and equipment."

After Sha Hongyi next to him moved his chair back, he also sat down and spoke slowly.

"Also, on the way, I reviewed almost everything that has happened recently. The other party seems to be trying to use public opinion to cause internal strife and conflict among us."

"You've been tricked, Duncan. You wanted to let that extraterritorial demon enter the world completely, but instead you were taken advantage of by those people."

Facing Luo Mina's gaze, Duncan was silent for a while and then shook his head slightly.

"It was indeed an oversight on my part, but I still feel that if I don't let him come over now, it will only lead to more intense conflicts in the future."

"What's more, it was the rebels hiding among the crowd who caused these problems, not Ji Hui and his group."

"In fact, if it weren't for their time in Starfall City, these rumors would have probably been even more intense than they are now."

Luo Mi did not show any joy or dissatisfaction during his words. She just looked at his resolute face for a while, then slowly closed her eyes.

"It seems that you have a very high level of trust in him. Even as much as us in charge."

It was unclear whether it was a sigh, a blame, or even a sarcasm, but Duncan was unable to answer and remained silent.

However, Luo Mi didn't seem to intend to force the question, he just opened his eyes again and asked.

"So, now that you've been here for a while, have you come up with any solutions?"

“Oh, about that.”

Mentioning this, Sha Hongyi also took the initiative to explain, making Luo Mi's eyes reveal a thoughtful look while listening.

After the explanation, Sha Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's about it, anyway. If you don't have anything else to ask, Mr. Luo, I'll go get ready."

However, when he was about to stand up, Luo Mina's wrinkled hand grabbed his arm, forcing him to sit down again.

"Xiaosha, although I am indeed very happy about your determination, as a person in charge, leading by example is one thing, but voluntarily sacrificing yourself is another."

"You are carrying so much on your shoulders, and your life is no longer just your own. So before you think about sacrificing yourself, think about whether your life can bring value to more people."

"Otherwise, what you think of as sacrifice may just be a form of self-satisfaction."

His earnest words also made Sha Hongyi stunned for a moment, and then a helpless expression appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, Mr. Luo. I'm not young and impulsive, so I'm not willing to sacrifice myself. I made this choice after considering the current situation."

However, Luo Mi did not let go of his hand, but raised his head and looked at the others.

"I have an idea, I wonder if you would like to consider it."

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at the elderly man.

"Since Duncan trusts this extraterritorial demon so much, then perhaps we can find a solution to the problem from him."

"What's more, since he's the main cause of the problem and conflict, it's only natural to resolve it through him, isn't it?"

Luo Mi's words also made the eyes of several people change slightly.

"Wait, Mr. Luo, you don't mean..."

Kawauchi Sae showed a hint of doubt and hesitation on her face, and said uncertainly.

"Let him take Xiaosha's place, put all the blame on him, and then we use this opportunity to catch the mastermind? Isn't this a bit too much..."

Two is too immoral

Out of respect for the old man who was the most experienced and oldest among the responsible persons, he did not say this directly.

"Of course not. Rather, this kind of thing will only exacerbate our conflicts and divisions."

Ling Luomi shook her head slightly and glanced at Duncan.

Obviously, he also knew that if he really proposed this plan, those of them who were in charge would probably have a huge crack from then on.

"However, since he's currently the focus of attention, it shouldn't be a problem to make him more famous and divert some attention away."

"Duncan, you let him tour the city so you could build momentum for him before the meeting officially begins. So, you should cherish this opportunity."

Luo Mi's words made Duncan stunned for two seconds, then he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I see. You're planning to divert public opinion by having Ji Hui delve deeper into certain matters, thereby consolidating the already chaotic rumors into a more manageable and controllable mass?"

"It's impossible to solve each problem one by one, so chaos should be managed with a more controllable chaos."

Zhuan Luomi nodded slightly, and after the others thought for a while, they began to ask about specific matters.

: As he began to explain, he looked at the five empty chairs left in the conference room.

There are a total of ten responsible persons, and half of them have already arrived.

But in fact, four responsible persons have been confirmed dead, which means that only the last person is missing, and all the responsible persons will be present.

However, the only one left was Cavill, who was the most stubborn and hateful in dealing with the extraterritorial demons.

Is this also the result of some deliberate action?

Chapter 428 Training Ground

Magic bullets kept sweeping around, trying to block the running person.

However, just when they had blocked the opponent's entire path, the gray-white space expanded in an instant, and the momentum that was about to block them was halted in an instant, allowing the young man who did not stop at all to easily pass through the fire network, and under the recoil force of the pale blue object below, he rushed towards himself.

"hateful"

The magical girl retreated rapidly, but the blue light bursting out from Ji Hui's hands expanded even faster, causing the huge and terrifying battering ram to burst out like a train, and the hammer head that was outlined vividly was magnified in her eyes.

The front end with a slight crack hit her body, causing the barrier set up in front of her to shatter with a crackling sound, just like a mirror that was hit, and the force was completely poured into the seemingly slender and delicate body.

The shattering of the barrier also allowed the power of the magic eyes to break through the original limit, causing the magical girl to burst into an unbearable scream before landing. She couldn't even adjust her flying posture and could only fall down in convulsions and tremors, twisting her body constantly in the dust.

That scene made the audience, who had become accustomed to seeing such scenes in recent times, sigh involuntarily.

She was not the only magical girl who was defeated by Ji Hui's combination of huge defense-breaking and magic eyes.

No matter how much they disliked Ji Hui's existence, they had to admit that in terms of strength, he had indeed reached the level of an extraterritorial demon that ordinary magical girls could hardly fight against alone or in a small group.

To break the opponent's ability, you must either strengthen the shield on your entire body to an unbreakable strength, or kill the opponent at a speed that the opponent cannot react to before his sight shifts.

These two methods, coupled with the opponent's ability to completely pause the time of a certain area, are more difficult than most magical girls can do, and not every ordinary person can do it.

In this case, the most effective way should be to form groups and conduct round-robin battles, with several groups withstanding the frontal pressure while the other groups wait for opportunities to attack from blind spots.
