The Eye Demon Doesn't Die from the Magical Girl

"Okay, okay, now that we know everything, it seems we don't have to worry for the time being."

Chizuru Yuzen, who had also come to her senses, had a drop of sweat on her forehead. She also waved her hand and laughed to help Rika Funadotari out of the situation.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm glad to know it's okay."

Seeing that both Yu Mingxue and Mi Lulu were clamoring, although Ji Hui still had some doubts in his heart, he didn't say much and just nodded slightly.

"Okay, at least everything's fine. But Lixiang, you'd better not run away casually next time. It would be bad if something really happened."

This also reminded Ji Hui that some monsters with unique species may not even be able to understand their own physiology and morphology.

Now they have arrived in Xingzhu City, which has a better environment than Yanming City. If they came to some place with low magic concentration, then Funado Rika might really be exhausted without realizing it.

That's why, when Ji Hui was thinking, he didn't notice the different looks in the eyes of the four girls when they looked at each other.

However, they didn't dwell on it for too long. Ji Hui, who had already read most of the information and taken a few photos to save, also suggested going to other places for a look, and no one else had any objection.

However, in terms of mentality, except for Ji Hui and Ophelia, the other girls were different from when they were just strolling around.

"So, it's because of Ji Hui after all."

"What else could it be besides that? They even specifically mentioned ingesting large amounts."

"But Xiaoxue and I also participated quite a bit, so why don't we seem to have changed much?"

"Perhaps it's because you're a spirit that you're affected more deeply?"

"That's great! We haven't even officially celebrated the New Year yet, but we're already eating slime rice."

Chapter 442 Procrastination

That new discovery and the inexplicable feeling made the girls gathered together grumble.

"Why do I feel like something is wrong? How come this thing of his looks like a rare treasure?"

"He's a natural talent, right? After all, his magic power concentration is even higher than that of a magical girl, so he's a hot commodity in the eyes of demons."

Mi Lulu's voice made the other three girls look at her with strange expressions.

"Speaking of which, this situation would be more appropriate for a succubus like you, but why is it happening to Rika?"

"Well, it might be related to her special form. As a non-corporeal ghost, she is more deeply affected by magic and other energies than we are. Therefore, her perception of magic-rich substances is more acute."

Although Rika Funadotari can easily pass through objects, even make her body invisible, merge with other people, and experience some senses, this ability can be said to be quite strong, but it is not completely without weaknesses.

First of all, like in airplanes and other means of transportation, if you don’t want to be thrown out directly, you can only maintain the same physical state as ordinary people, no different from ordinary people, or even a little weaker.

Secondly, her tolerance to energy attacks such as magic and barriers is weaker, and it can even be said that her resistance is negative.

Even the most common magic can cause great harm to her, which is one of the reasons why she is so afraid of those magical girls.

And this sensitivity to magic seems to have another impact now.

"Honestly, I suspect that Li Xiang didn't just drink rice porridge. She probably drank blood directly like Ruth did, which should have produced a similar effect. It's just that she hasn't drunk blood directly."

After glancing at Ji Hui, who was admiring the murals and sculptures engraved as real objects in front of her, she lowered her voice slightly and expressed her opinion.

"Also, their absorption efficiency is probably slightly lower than ours. It just appears to be that way."

"But this is just my guess. After all, Chizuru, you and Xiaoxue have no influence. So it shouldn't be that Ji Hui's rice porridge itself has any special properties, but that it's special in Lixiang's form."

"Then how do we verify this?"

After all, now that she knew that the instability of her form was also related to the environment, Rika Funado also wanted to figure it out very seriously.

"Well, the easiest way would be to let me absorb the same amount of rice porridge as you, and then see if the absorption efficiency is the same."

Mi Lulu said subconsciously, and then she reacted to their obviously strange looks and started coughing violently.

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. There's no need to really combine like that."

"As long as it's drinkable, it's fine. So, you can just make some and put it in a paper cup or something. You don't have to have physical contact. It's just like taking blood or urine. It's very scientific."

"If Li Xiang and I drink the same amount and the increase is different, then our guess is correct."

“Drink it…”

The expressions of Chizuru Yuzen and Yu Mingxue also became more conflicted.

Although theoretically, it is Mi Lulu and the others who are wronged when drinking white rice porridge, but why do I still feel that I am at a disadvantage, as if the rice in my family has been taken away by outsiders. ~Group-

But now Mi Lulu herself and Ji Hui are not clear, and they have already stepped half a foot into the situation. If you insist, it is not a big problem.

Not to mention, the issue now involves a very important issue related to Funado Rika's existence.

They didn't want to watch Rika Funado disappear in such an unclear manner, because they had to find out how much magic power she absorbed and how much she absorbed.

Now that Ruth is gone, there is no way to use blood as a substitute, and other methods cannot find actual measurement objects, so the only thing left is Milulu's method.

So Yu Ran Qian He and Yu Ming Xue also looked at each other, gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, and nodded slightly.

"Okay, we'll make some tonight and bring it back to you, but it might not be fresh enough."

"It's okay. At most, it's just a little less nutritious than freshly squeezed milk. As long as Lixiang and I drink the same amount, it's fine."

Mi Lulu also waved her hand slightly, indicating that it was not a big problem.

"By the way, have you made up your mind yet? If you are willing, then you and Lixiang should find a time to formally explain it to each other. Then we won't have to be so secretive like we are now."

Glancing at Ji Hui who seemed to be chatting with Ophelia, Yuzen Chizuru couldn't help but urge him.

"Otherwise, if Rika confesses her feelings and you confess again two days later, it will look very strange, and it won't be clear whether you reject or accept."

"my words"

Mi Lulu subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Ji Hui as well.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely give you a definite answer..."

Her conflicted look was totally different from the succubus they knew was carefree and casual in matters of the heart, and this made the other three sigh slightly.

The succubus's obsession can be troublesome sometimes. For example, she is stuck in the middle of nowhere and has become a procrastinator.

Although they also understand the dilemma of having to give oneself to someone directly after losing one's virginity by accident.

"Hey, what are you doing there? We should go."

Ji Hui's call from afar forced them to temporarily stop their conversation. After looking at each other tacitly, they tacitly suppressed their previous discussion, as if nothing had happened, and followed Ji Hui and Ophelia's pace.

Although they had indeed accepted Rika Funado's joining and had no objection to Mi Lulu's decision, neither Chizuru Yuzen nor Mingxue Yumin minded letting the idea that they were the only two around Ji Hui continue for a while longer, so their attitude was relatively lazy.

That's why they didn't force Funado Rika to tell Ji Huiming directly within a certain deadline, and they also supported her decision to finish the superficial things first.

However, if it has something to do with their lives like now, then they should indeed have a sense of urgency.

So they made a decision to give Ji Hui a heads-up tonight and clarify Funado Rika's life problems, and then wait until the next day. Even if Mi Lulu still didn't come up with an answer, they would have to formally settle the relationship.

As long as there is no problem too serious like the last attack.

No problem

Although they thought so, Yu Ran Chizuru and Yu Mingxue still felt as if they had set a flag in their hearts and began to feel uncertain.

Chapter 443 Rumors spread

The sudden stop of the pen tip stopped the rustling sound coming from the quiet office.

That action, which was obviously inconsistent with his personality, made Sha Hongyi, who was relaxing next to the coffee machine, look over immediately.

Rebecca, who was also sitting on the sofa, rehabilitating her hand which had recovered thanks to the wishes of several magical girls who were on good terms with her, asked more casually and directly.

"What's wrong? Could something have happened again?"

Duncan did not speak directly. Instead, he raised his head and glanced at the other people who were also busy in the office, motioning them to leave for a while.

Since the further work was no longer to be carried out by just a few of them, other personnel also needed to be mobilized. Therefore, after Sha Hongyi arrived, they took the organized outlines and task lists and moved back to the office that truly belonged to them, taking charge at the headquarters.

The deaths of the two responsible persons forced them to temporarily take on other parts of the work, including tasks that were originally supposed to be carried out, issues that needed to be handed over, and even remaining omissions.

In this regard, the requirement to back up and retain information before each meeting can be said to be of great help, allowing them to seamlessly hand over the various ongoing matters of the other party during their lifetime.

Of course, it is just a handover. The key to the problem is how the remaining ongoing work should be done in the future, whether it should be stopped or changed, or even whether it will change due to different ideas of the person in charge.

In particular, during temporary personnel changes, whether the assigned person in charge is on the same side as oneself and how much friction will arise is also one of the difficulties to be faced.

Generally speaking, this problem is not difficult. After all, they are all comrades under the same roof and have respect and admiration for each other. The person in charge will not deliberately change or interfere with the tasks that are already being carried out, nor will he casually give orders to the personnel assigned to him.

But unfortunately, that is generally the case.

Rebecca and Sha Hongyi are relatively easy to deal with, but when Duncan, who is currently the most controversial, takes over the affairs of another area, some people will inevitably have objections and resistance.

After all, it's okay to be unhappy, but now the person who makes him unhappy has become his immediate superior, so it is obviously impossible for there to be no criticism behind his back.

However, Duncan had anticipated this, so he was prepared for many things in advance and was not at a loss.

When everyone else had left and only two colleagues were left, Duncan slowly spoke and explained to them.

“I’ve noticed a tendency towards some bad speech here.”

"Some are trying to steer the conversation towards Ji Hui's connection to the attack, claiming the large-scale activities of the Fallen Daughter are largely due to the presence of extraterritorial demons. This theory has become more prevalent after the sacrifices of Bayram and Andrea."

"In a sense, it's not wrong. After all, the attack you suffered was much more serious than ours."

Sha Hongyi sighed, took a sip of coffee, and then continued speaking.

"But this kind of superstitious talk is a bit too stupid, isn't it? It's probably just some unhappy person's casual complaint that accidentally spread."

"I know, so I've already asked others to suppress such remarks. After all, people's words can be scary. Even if they're stupid, once you hear them enough, you'll start to think about them."

Duncan nodded slightly and then raised the document in his hand.

“但是我比较在意的是@Q}，!@@}这种传言的流传?裙)范(8‰围()*5∥和规°7√律，/1!@似乎√5]有点￠7@不≈0∈太∠8!@对∩8∥劲。”

"Here, here, and over there, they all appear along the streets and in areas with dense crowds. Although there's no common point of intersection, if you consider it was intentional, it makes sense."

Hearing his words and the location he pointed to, Sha Hongyi moved closer. After taking a few glances, he rubbed his chin slightly.

"Well, although the Transcendence Building and Fluorescent Street are indeed places with a large number of people, are you sure you are not overthinking it?"

"After all, these are just rumors. They must spread in places with a lot of people. Isn't it a bit too arbitrary to just rely on this?"

At his reminder, Duncan frowned slightly and looked down at the various markings on the map.

What Sha Hongyi said was not unreasonable. Rather, it was too reasonable.

It is because these rumors spread fastest in places where many people are chatting.

Could it be that the various attacks on the eve of the meeting made me overly suspicious?

Duncan, who couldn't find any problem for the time being, lowered his head and thought about it. Rebecca, who was sitting on the sofa, saw that he still seemed a little doubtful, and couldn't help but sighed slightly.

"Alright, alright, I'll help arrange some manpower here to strengthen the security in those areas. Is that alright?"

Her initiative to make this suggestion made Duncan nod his head.

"Well, that can only be done."

"Don't be too nervous, or you'll break yourself down."

Seeing the dark circles under his eyes caused by days of work, Sha Hongyi also began to persuade him.

"If I develop PTSD from this, it won't be worth it."

"It's okay. If I really can't hold on any longer, I'll go take a good rest."

Duncan shook his head slightly, indicating that he was completely fine.

However, despite saying so, neither Rebecca nor Sha Hongyi had a relaxed expression on their faces.

After going through all kinds of hardships, they have more or less developed the habit of being suspicious, not to mention the strange things raised by their companions.

Therefore, they all silently took note of this matter in their hearts, and added a few precautions in their documents regarding speech and arrangements in crowded places.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, as long as there is such a possibility, they need to take precautions in this regard.

Jingle Bell

But soon, three different cell phone ringtones rang in the room. They who were sitting in the office quickly answered the calls and looked at each other.

"Well, I see."

They each responded to the content on the phone, and when they hung up, each of them showed a slightly helpless expression.

"Duncan, I think you should take care of your business first."

Looking at Duncan, who was pinching his nose slightly and seemed a little annoyed by the message on his phone, Sha Hongyi spoke hesitantly.

"Didn't Ji Hui go on a trip with your people? Why did he get into another fight with someone else?"
