Lu Mengmeng took two bites of her popsicle and said bluntly, "This little devil must be very weak."
Otherwise, why would they do such sneaky things?
If it were Mengmeng, she would definitely just grab it!
Lu Haotian expressionlessly stroked his own child's head, which didn't seem to move much internally.
Just because you don't like to use your brain doesn't mean that all fairies don't like to use their brains.
If there are high-IQ criminals among humans, it's probably not surprising that there are among monsters as well.
Lu Mengmeng immediately became dissatisfied.
She said angrily, "Who are you insulting, you little brat?"
Great demons revere strength above all else.
A super, super, super big adult demon like Mengmeng always takes action directly!
In the face of absolute power, all the trivialities are utterly useless!
Lu Haotian slightly curled the corners of his lips, and stroked his child's hand even more earnestly.
He said with a hint of sarcasm, "If you're going to trick people into giving you snacks, you don't need your so-called sneaky, petty methods."
That would make it look even more like a fully grown, powerful demon.
Lu Mengmeng: ……
"Hmph!" She turned her head to the side angrily. "Mengmeng is training your reaction speed."
And the ability to resist temptation.
How could you misunderstand Mengmeng?
Besides, he promised her yesterday that he would give her as many snacks as she wanted, so she wouldn't have to rack her brains for such a small amount of snacks in the future!
Huo Xiao shook his head, never expecting that the Pixiu, who was always so fierce outside, would have such a way of getting along with the current head of the Lu family.
However, I still spoke up for this adult demon, saying, "Ordinary demons don't really like to use... intelligence."
They all valued force above all else, believing that only absolute strength could make one a king or a hegemon.
Therefore, those who usually rule the mountains are not the clever but weak demons.
Instead, they are those demons who can open up a mountain with a mere slap.
But the one that framed you is a special case.
Even a powerful demon likes to use coincidences to create murder cases.
After this incident, we also revisited some old cases.
Of the cases that were initially suspicious, 79 inexplicably had traces of ice magic found at the scene or in the triggering events.
If we're not mistaken, that great demon named Xuan cultivates ice magic.
Following this systematic investigation, we suspect he may possess the ability to deceive.
Lu Haotian's expression was rather unpleasant, and his heart was filled with great solemnity.
He was just an ordinary human, and to find out the cause of his parents' death, he had to step into the world of fairies.
These abilities of fairies are simply impossible for ordinary people like him to defend against.
How can he resist?
Then I thought of the funny scene of my own little one chasing after a big demon and throwing stones at its thigh.
Suddenly I realized that monsters might not be so scary after all.
The somber mood gradually dissipated.
"I heard that the Demon Management Bureau is an organization that controls demons."
"Aren't there any restrictions on fairies' indiscriminate use of their abilities?"
Huo Xiao wasn't angry at her questioning; instead, his expression became somewhat serious.
There are countless fairies in this world. And their abilities are also countless.
Aside from some ancient demons who were born with innate talents, some demons, after cultivating themselves into powerful demons, will also possess unique innate talents.
The Bureau of Demon Management cannot possibly know the abilities of every demon, which makes it very difficult for us to solve some special cases.
We once considered conducting a census of the demon population.
They deeply understood the importance of the population census.
Only by conducting a comprehensive census of demons, matching demons, demonic energy, and innate skills one by one, and recording them in the records, can we achieve this.
This makes management easier and also avoids situations where the real culprit cannot be found after monsters cause trouble.
However, the fairies who grow up nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are always free and unrestrained, so how could they all be willing to be controlled?
The largest organization among these is the Crescent Moon, which opposes peaceful coexistence with humanity.
They even murdered our researchers who were studying the demon census system.
The specific details of the incident cannot be discussed with anyone outside the Bureau of Demon Management, but his hints are already quite clear.
Whether it's Xuan, Xinyue, or being murdered, these words together are very suggestive.
Huo Xiao glanced at Lu Haotian without showing any emotion.
He felt he should be able to understand his hint.
Lu Haotian has always been a thoughtful person. Since Huo Xiao had laid so much groundwork beforehand, he must have something to say.
Otherwise, I would never have wasted so much time talking to him.
He hadn't forgotten that when he last came to the Demon Management Bureau, apart from his own Pixiu and the old gatekeeper, he hadn't seen a single person.
Moreover, he secretly suspected that this matter was probably related to the cause of his parents' deaths.
Unwilling to ponder it further, he cut to the chase and asked directly, "So what is the purpose of the Demon Management Bureau summoning me here today?"
Seeing that Lu Haotian was a straightforward person, Huo Xiao decided not to beat around the bush with him.
"The reason I didn't let you set foot in this world before was because it would be dangerous for you to do so."
We promised your parents that we would not allow you two brothers to get involved in this world unless you absolutely had to.
But now, even if you don't set foot in this world, the monsters of the New Moon won't let you go.
So, do you want to join the Demon Management Bureau?
Lu Haotian pursed his lips slightly, his voice a little hoarse as he said, "So... my parents..."
Were they ever under the Demon Management Bureau?
Huo Xiao: "Yes. Your mother is an exceptionally skilled demon-binding master."
Your father, on the other hand, is an exceptionally talented researcher.
Lu Haotian's brows remained furrowed. Inwardly, however, he was somewhat shocked; it turned out his parents had both been from that other world.
But he knew nothing about it.
What about his brother?
"Can I... find out how they died back then?"
Huo Xiao directly threw out his bait: "The internal information of the Demon Management Bureau will not be disclosed to outsiders in the slightest."
This is also our way of ensuring the safety of our staff.
The meaning is very clear: if you don't join us, there are some things I can't tell you.
If you join, I can tell you everything.
Huo Xiao had a good plan in mind.
He felt that after he threw out these baits, Lu Haotian would be hooked.
At that time, Lu Haotian joined the Demon Management Bureau.
That means that, roughly speaking, Lord Pixiu has also joined the Demon Management Bureau.
However, he overlooked a Pixiu who was absolutely on the same side as Lu Haotian.
Although Lu Mengmeng couldn't tell that Huo Xiao was deliberately trying to deceive her, her little cub had fallen into the trap.
But she wanted to do everything she could to help her tiny little baby!
Since the Bureau of Demon Management can't provide the information, it's convenient for her to do so!
