The Eye Demon Doesn't Die from the Magical Girl

"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 her previous debts, so she works very hard at the church and gets up earlier than the other two.

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 601 Offerings

"Haizen Shrine?"

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."

"Oh, it seems to be the latter."

After hearing her description, Miao Lin nodded in understanding, and her tone seemed a little more relaxed.

After all, if it is the former, then they have to think carefully about whether they should make some preparations in advance and throw a Big Ivan on the head of the Hazen Shrine.

But even so, after she took a tour of the Hazen Shrine, she asked the members of the Ankanen who followed her to go back and investigate the background of the Hazen family and some situations in Yanming City.

"Well, you said you couldn't sense any pressure from Ai Yuzen. That's not quite right. Logically, people who are closest to serving the gods will carry the aura of the gods, unless you are stronger than that god, or that god himself is not online at all."

Considering Ruth's strength of only a cartload of fists, Miao Lin still felt that the latter was more practical.

"Hey, I'm not a powerful demon, but the look in your eyes is a bit too rude."

Seeing the regretful look in Miao Lin's eyes when she looked at her, Ruth grumbled in dissatisfaction.

However, she still shook her head slightly and expressed her judgment.

"But, after all these years, maybe the creatures they worshipped are really dead. After all, the living demons now have to keep a low profile as much as possible. There are many who accidentally die at the hands of fallen demons and magical girls."

"What you said is possible. Judging from the current situation of Chizuru and Kana, it is likely that they are completely unaware of this matter."

"Anyway, let's let those Dark Mace Garden members investigate a bit. This will give us peace of mind, even though our spiritual veins are now so weak that they can't do anything."

"Honestly, this is the first time I've seen someone suck so much energy out of a monster. I guess it will take decades to recover. This much spiritual energy is probably enough to train a monster to become a regional overlord."

Miao Lin also said this with some emotion, leaning back on the sofa, making the two burgers look much more substantial when wrapped in oil-absorbing paper.

"By the way, Ji Hui and the others have been gone for almost a week now. I don't know how they are doing over there now."

"Didn't they say this morning they were going to the beach and visiting the memorial or something?"

Ruth said this with a slight gasp of surprise.

"They're probably having a blast on their honeymoon there. We don't need to worry about them."

"That's true, but no matter what, Ji Hui is the backbone of the Demon Eye House. Without him, I always feel a little uneasy."

After all, in a sense, it was precisely because of Ji Hui's identity as an extraterritorial demon that he was able to truly establish the House of the Demon Eye as a neutral shelter.

If it were just a few of them, the demon realm would be no different from the previous one that existed in name only. They could still easily step into it, just like a game of house without any binding clauses that could be easily torn apart by others.

That's why, even though they have gotten on the right track, and can even be said to have reached in-depth cooperation with the local magical girls and Anjianyuan, and are conducting various interactions like in a honeymoon period, they still know that if Ji Hui disappears, these bridges that have been built with great difficulty will easily collapse.

Therefore, in order to avoid this sub-healthy state where everything seems to be tied to Ji Hui alone, his mission of truly strengthening cooperation becomes even more important.

Of course, without him making jokes every day in the House of the Evil Eye, it does feel a little deserted.

In a sense, it has become a habit for them to hear the sounds of music from several girls in the health room from time to time. Now that they are so serious, they feel a little uncomfortable.

Well, it was like a female knight who had just been trained and then thrown out, and she started to feel uncomfortable all over.

Chapter 602 Sister-in-law’s Winter Vacation Life

During this period, Kana Yuzen lived a very happy life.

Although her two sisters and brother-in-law all went out to play, which made her feel a little dissatisfied, the freedom without any supervision made her life in the Magic Eye House seem more relaxed and comfortable.

A variety of entertainment facilities, a huge courtyard, a place to play, and more importantly,

"Come on, everyone!"

Looking at the demons busy in the fields, Kana Yuzen, who was wearing a cotton jacket, shouted excitedly with a flushed face.

Although she is lively by nature and very sensible, and can be quiet when necessary, she still instinctively releases her nature in a crowded environment, making her behavior appear not very ladylike.

If Chizuru Hazen were here, she would probably start to remind her to pay attention to her image, but now, she can completely follow her own ideas.

Although Hazen Shrine is indeed her home, the people who come here are either her sister's colleagues at work or clients who ask her to exorcise spirits. They are basically all adults. All she can do is watch from the side and act as a decoration.

However, here, she has many companions to play with, especially those palm-sized fairies. After chatting for a while, they became good friends and played to their heart's content in the newly opened greenhouse.

Fairies who are similar to her mentally come here, magical girls who are slightly older than her come here to enjoy the hot springs, and all kinds of talking cats and dogs. This makes her feel particularly lively, and it seems that there are endless activities to play every day.

Including some other demons, they would also relax together in their spare time and join in from time to time.

Of course, part of the reason is that they know Kana Yuzen's identity.

The sister-in-law of the founder of the House of Demonic Eyes, who dares to give her a bad face?

Therefore, those demons, especially the new demons, can be said to be quite tolerant in their attitude towards Kana Yuzen.

However, this was also because Kana Yuzen was not prone to throwing tantrums and was warm and friendly to others. Therefore, they, who had originally just been smiling, finally accepted this lively and cheerful girl from the bottom of their hearts, and spontaneously protected the pure heart of this young lady when the zombie, whose brain was completely covered with brilliant waste, was generating electricity.

Generally speaking, Kana Hazen's life in the Demon's Eye House can be said to be very happy. Except that when some classmates come to play with her, they have to go to the shrine to pretend to avoid exposing the existence of demons, her days are the most fulfilling ones.

"Uncle Bone, are you really still able to go to the fields? I feel like you're more fragile than the hoe in your hand."

Looking at one of the human skeletons working in the fields, Kana Yuzen couldn't help but complain.

The skeleton also turned its head slightly, causing a crackling sound at its joints.

"Kana, I'm a woman after all. Didn't I just teach you how to identify the gender of a skeleton last time?"

The somewhat helpless female voice coming out from the dental sound made Kana Yuzen stick out her tongue slightly.

"Sorry, Sister Kelly, I got you wrong again."

The skeleton named Kelly also sighed slightly and muttered softly.

"Looks like I really need to think about gluing a wig to my skull. At least it'll be recognizable until my strength increases to the point of transformation."

Skeletons like her, after reaching a certain level, can use magic to simulate some of their postures in life.

Although it can only use a skeleton body, at least the face can still reveal its original semi-transparent appearance.

It’s a pity that her current strength is not enough.

"Kana is here, what are we going to play today?"

Her arrival also caused the little fairies flying in the greenhouse to chirp, causing Kana Yuzen to put her hands on her hips and say with some dissatisfaction.

"You guys, finish what you need to do first, don't even think about slacking off!"

Her words of instruction made the little goblins agitated. They flapped their wings and flew in the air.

However, seeing Kana Yuzen's puffed up face, they still obeyed obediently and continued with their original work.

"Yeah, that's right. If you want to play, you have to finish your homework first."

Looking at the obedient fairies, Kana Yuzen nodded with satisfaction and waved gently to the other demons.

"If they continue to be disobedient and want to slack off, uncles and aunts, please tell me at any time and I will teach them a lesson!"

The little adult-like appearance made them laugh.

However, Kana Yuzen is indeed becoming more and more like a manager. Not only the little elves who are her playmates, but even they sometimes subconsciously obey the words of this little girl, and only react after doing the other party's instructions for a while.

This is not a problem. After all, Kana Yuzen is just a child and rarely does anything willful. For them, it is just like playing with the child.

"Really? If I don't keep an eye on them, they'll start slacking off behind my back. I don't know where you learned this from."

As if feeling helpless about her best friend's bad habits, Kana Yuzen couldn't help but sigh and muttered softly.

"That's what your sister said to you too."

The sound coming from behind made Kana Yuzen turn her head and see Ruth flapping her bat wings and flying here.
