335: Chapter 133: The Promising Future of the Magic Giant 335: Chapter 133: The Promising Future of the Magic Giant How fragrant!
Li Mumu couldn’t help but widen her eyes, as a faint exotic fragrance emanated from that test tube, unexpectedly stirring up her appetite!
What is this?
It looks delicious…
damn it!
Even children from ordinary families know not to eat food given by strangers, right?
Especially when there’s a cop next to you staring.
Is this your way of fishing for law enforcent, thinking I’m a fool?
Seeing that Li Mumu had no reaction, Qiao Hongyi said coldly, “Is this the sincerity you’re showing ?
No matter how I look at it, you’re just an ordinary little girl, and I can’t see any connection to the so-called Magic Giant.”
Magic Giant?
Who?
?
Li Mumu was deeply shocked, and why was Qiao Hongyi pretending not to recognize her?
Could it be that he recognizes people by sothing other than their face?
That’s right… these days, one can’t really rely on faces; having the sa face doesn’t necessarily an they are the sa person.
It’s even hard to say whether this person in front of is really Qiao Hongyi.
An ordinary-looking stranger smiled and said, “Would a normal little girl be dressed in a red shroud, sitting here waiting for soone in the middle of the night?”
Qiao Hongyi disdainfully said, “Souls like hers roam freely, tonight at Tiann I could easily pick out twenty or thirty such spirits.”
“This isn’t sincerity, this is treating like a fool.”
“To speak of this now is indeed premature.”
Seeing that Li Mumu remained unmoved, the stranger pressed his thumb against the cork of the test tube and turned his head to Qiao Hongyi with a smile, “Why don’t we make a bet?”
“Bet on what?”
“Bet that you can’t catch her.”
“Haha…”
Qiao Hongyi laughed without a word.
“With your status, Young Master Qiao, it’s logical not to bother with ordinary roaming spirits.
But what about a malevolent demon that could harm people?”
“What are you trying to say?”
“What I want to say is that she is fated to beco the future Magic Giant, causing catastrophic disasters and poisoning the world.
Your personal will can hardly alter this inevitable fate.
Don’t be fooled by her seemingly harmless appearance; you can’t catch her, nor can you kill her.
Even if you manage to take her back to the Special Service Bureau for suppression, she’d still find a way to escape.”
“Wanna bet on this?”
The stranger seed completely oblivious to Li Mumu, who was all ears nearby, focusing all his attention on Qiao Hongyi.
Qiao Hongyi was silent for a few seconds, then reached out to Li Mumu, “Princess Ping’an, please co with .”
You ignore while you talk and now you expect to go with you just like that?
Li Mumu initially wanted to resist, but then she thought, wasn’t this exactly what she had hoped for?
As long as those in grey uniforms don’t kill her outright, once back at the headquarters of the Special Service Bureau, she’d have many ways to prove her identity.
Thus, she decided to go along with their plan.
But when she tried to stand up, she found she couldn’t even move a finger.
The surroundings plunged into darkness.
A thin page appeared in Qiao Hongyi’s hand, on which the image of a girl dressed in a red shroud was vividly depicted, as if she were a living person.
With a clatter, the notebook and the doll fell onto the bench.
Li Mumu herself had disappeared without a trace.
Qiao Hongyi casually folded the page and tucked it into his pocket before turning back to face the unfamiliar man.
“That’s it?
The Magic Giant?”
Even though the stranger had anticipated this scene, he couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly upon witnessing it firsthand; it was hard for him to remain composed.
“Young Master Qiao…truly worthy of being a top expert of the Special Service Bureau.”
“Spare the flattery.
The only reason you’re still standing here talking to is because I’m sowhat interested in your origins,” Qiao Hongyi sneered.
“I need to return to the Special Service Bureau now.
Take care of her belongings; after all, they are personal items of a princess.
If you don’t have anything more convincing to offer tonight, then go back and prepare for tomorrow.
We’ll et at the usual place.
Don’t try to appease with these insignificant offerings anymore; my patience has its limits.”
Having said this, he turned and walked away.
The stranger watched Qiao Hongyi’s retreating figure, standing in silence for so ti before he finally sat down on the bench, casually picking up the doll and notebook that Li Mumu had left behind.
“Could it be that I arrived too early?
No, this ti should have been precisely when the Red Shroud was supposed to appear…”
Actually, even without Qiao Hongyi saying it, he himself had so doubts.
It should certainly have been the Red Shroud, he could confirm that the mont he saw her face.
But aside from that face and the shroud she wore, nothing else matched up.
Look, here’s a doll, there’s a suitcase… nothing suggestive of anyone but a naive girl lost on the streets.
Could it be due to tonight’s unexpected turn of events that led the Red Shroud to a true transformation?
He was montarily bewildered.
Going back to the ti when the Great Demon King still wore diapers, what could prove she was the Great Demon King?
With the Red Shroud not appearing as expected, and the other two great demon lords, Cangqing and Amber, unlikely to show up at this ti, what kind of sincerity could he present that would sway Qiao Hongyi?
He flipped through the notebook subconsciously, and imdiately noticed the words “Save ” that quickly faded away.
Indeed…
A smile reappeared on his face.
As the chief among the future three great demon lords, the Red Shroud was cunning, deceitful, and deeply scheming.
Many suspected that aside from Cangqing and Amber, she had many more cards up her sleeve, which is why every conspiracy aid at her ended like stones sinking into the sea, with all assassins failing to return.
Though he hadn’t been able to convince Qiao Hongyi by using her, taking this rare opportunity to fathom her cards was still sothing of a gain.
At least he would have sothing to report when he went back.
And it could certainly be put to use next ti.
He tilted his head, his features twisting rapidly, transforming into the likeness of the Red Shroud in just a few seconds, then picked up the pen and wrote another sentence in the notebook.
— “Co see !”
The handwriting was identical to the two words seen earlier.
The doll lay quietly on the bench, its two button eyes motionless, silently observing the man’s actions.
He writhed about, gradually morphing into a petite figure indistinguishable from the Red Shroud, even his clothes transford into an identical somber-patterned, blood-colored shroud.
If one had not seen it with their own eyes, no one could distinguish him now from the Red Shroud Qiao Hongyi had captured just monts earlier.
After completing all this, he took out a compass from his pocket, supported it with three fingers, adjusted it a bit, and tossed a handful of inconspicuous little stones in various directions and placents around him.
An unremarkable formation was thus laid out.
The rest was just waiting for the fish to bite!
