My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 514 - 348: The Legendary Legend of the Demon

The Little Witch even seemed to change her walking style, transforming her small steps with Xue Dili into a continuous bounce along the path.

Bouncing happily, her footsteps clearly revealed her joy, akin to a little bear who had secretly eaten honey.

"Brother, keep up! Once we cross this hill, we can directly see the next city! That’s our South Coast, it’s the economic center of humanity, a super city with a near-permanent population of millions." The Little Witch kept waving her hands, as if trying to demonstrate how big this city was.

"If the map you drew were a bit more accurate, we wouldn’t even need to reach the mountain top to confirm our position, we could directly teleport there," Xue Dili seriously teased her unreliability.

But there was no helping it, he couldn’t expect too much from someone who had changed careers to become a Witch at age 6, who basically only attended kindergarten.

The Little Witch was bouncing through the forest ahead while Xue Dili at the back silently switched his gaze continuously, observing this world.

This planet seemed to exist in both the outer and inner worlds.

But unlike the Tita Civilization’s outer and inner world, this world was more like a kind of "cognitive pollution."

Similar to a filter, if he were to use his original eyes, nothing of the filter could be seen, only the abandoned, desolate world, and the traces left behind by humans at death not yet cleaned away by time.

Though it seemed eerie, essentially nothing could be seen, like an LED screen incapable of parsing any format, merely existing to view the objective pure material world.

But once the Divine Purification Demon Eye opened, the entire world changed; he could see the "ghostly aura" left behind by Evil Ghosts everywhere in the world.

And in the sky, occasionally floating like kites, Evil Ghosts!

They floated like balloons in the air, swelling themselves up, looking menacingly at the ground as if searching for something, twisted and eerie.

Xue Dili attempted to shoot one down.

The Cursed Blood in his hands instantly transformed into a giant blood bow, and the Evil Ghost shot down exploded just like a real balloon, raining blood across the sky.

Upon exploding, it immediately resurrected, frantically searching for traces of the arrow just fired.

But in Ghost Eye’s vision, it wasn’t an Evil Ghost, but people doing extreme sports, wearing flying squirrel suits or hot air balloons, with wind-proof goggles, shouting in the air.

Like seeing Ghost Memory Spirits, different eyes have different information transmission interfaces, only matching interfaces with this world result in cognitive modifications akin to perceptions.

So, did that giant walnut wood covered in eyeballs truly intend for me to obtain Ghost Eye, or did it simply react defensively and attack me?

Xue Dili didn’t know, but he climbed to the hilltop, gazing at the distant city, thus far unaware of how this world went extinct, and why Evil Ghosts still ravaged this world.

"Speaking of which, we haven’t seen any Demons, have we?" Xue Dili wondered aloud.

They had witnessed Evil Ghosts, potentially encountered the eerie, those polluted alleys, deserted yet crowded streets, possibly already transformed, but invisible to them previously.

As for the ultimate Demons, seemingly never seen.

At least in the Little Witch’s previous brief introduction, a Demon was a monster with substance, visible easily even with ordinary eyes, it required enormous populations to survive and thrived by capturing humans.

So Xue Dili considered the Demons of this world potentially orchestrated by Apostles.

Considering that they relied on capturing humans for survival, never actively killing humans, only capturing them, furiously searching and capturing people meant he thought of those Apostles who prioritized population above all else.

Since growing the Divine Tree requires population as the key, if Apostles truly came to this world, they’d likely ally with local forces against Evil Ghosts and the eerie.

After all, local gangs had no manners; those Evil Ghosts killed humans without any value and thus created more enemy Evil Ghosts after killing them, wasting the population and creating further opposition in a seamless cycle.

These local Evil Ghosts killed far more than us obnoxious outsiders; looking at the world, Demons presumably yearned to join locals in fighting these gangs to then enslave humans for daily work 8 hours a day, resting just 2 days a week.

All said, they hadn’t seen those population-snatching Demons, rumored to compete for population with the eerie to keep themselves in advantage, but no sign of Demons yet.

As Xue Dili presented this view, the Little Witch Susu froze, seemingly wracking her few remaining brain cells, saying, "It shouldn’t be like this, from what I remember, Demons should appear frequently, at least one stationed in a city, and once one is killed, a new Demon quickly appears to replace it, or the former Demon revives from Hell to return..."
