Haomo never thought that he would receive anything other than a birthday cake on his birthday.

On a sweltering afternoon, Haomo walked to the community communication room alone with his schoolbag.

"Uncle Zhang, do you have anything for me?" Haomo shouted into the door.

"Yes, yes!" said a hearty voice, and soon after, a bald old man with a fan in his left hand and a cake box in his right hand walked out, wearing only a vest and shorts. It was hard to imagine that the bell-like voice just now came from this old man who was only 1.6 meters tall.

"It's your birthday again this year, Xiao Hao. Uncle Zhang smiled and handed the cake to Haomo.

"yes, I'm a year older. Haomo took the cake and said a bad word.

"What do young people say are not old, you still have a long way to go, how can you say what these little old men say!" Uncle Zhang reprimanded, and after a while, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Xiaohao, you seem to be going to take the university entrance examination next month, have you thought about where to take the exam?"

"Well, I should be able to go to a normal school. When Haomo said this, he thought about the poor mock test score in his schoolbag, and hesitated to make up for it.

"Yo, then you will be a teacher in the future, a gardener of the motherland! The future is limitless!" Uncle Zhang admired.

It would be nice if I could spoil the flowers of the motherland. Haomo muttered in his heart, turned around and prepared to go home.

"Xiao Hao, wait, there's still something!"

Haomo opened the door, closed the door with his foot, and walked to the dining room, where he threw a long box of cakes and a long box on the table. When Uncle Zhang effortlessly handed this thing to Haomo with one hand, he was taken aback, where did this old man get so much strength! This thing weighs almost an adult, but Uncle Zhang picked it up like a clothes pole. Haomo wasted a lot of effort to move this thing to his home. Fortunately, the house is not high, Haomo secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"What the hell is this?" Haomo muttered to himself, and at the same time opened the package, he didn't open the cake box as usual, because the contents were nothing more than a cream cake and a letter of condolence from the Demon Search Bureau, which had never changed for more than ten years, but the taste of the cake had changed several times, since there was something new, who would care about the old thing, and he didn't want to read the letter of condolence, because it was like reminding him that your parents were dead.

Haomo's parents were well-known investigators in the search bureau, and in this era of demons and demons, investigators are a very respected profession. Haomo was supposed to grow up happily under the glory of his parents, showing off how awesome his parents were with his peers, but this was not the case, he hadn't seen his parents since he could remember, according to the search bureau: Your parents died in a siege mission. So Haomo became an orphan without his father's love and no mother's love, and later a searcher named Wuspaine adopted him, but he didn't have much impression of this guardian, because after getting Haomo's custody, Wuspainless just introduced himself and entrusted him to one of his own investigators to take care of him.

After Haomo unpacked the package, he found that there was an ebony box wrapped inside, which was simple and simple without any decoration. When he opened the box, Haomo was shocked by the contents of the box, and there was a Tang knife lying in the box! The knife surface was as smooth as a mirror, and Haomo's shadow could be reflected.

Who would give a sword on someone else's birthday? I don't know if this is very unlucky! Haomo cursed in his heart while picking up the fragments of wrapping paper on the ground in an attempt to find the sender's information, but there was nothing on it.

Could this be the murderer's latest trick to smear?" Haomo began to think wildly, and hesitated to throw the knife into the artificial lake outside the community.

The helicopter moves rapidly through the air, and on the tail of the helicopter is a skull and sword insignia, which is the insignia of the Demon Search Bureau, indicating that the plane belongs to the Demon Search Bureau. There were five people in the helicopter's cabin, four of whom were crammed into one row of seats, but only one person in the other row, and four of them would rather sit next to the man like fish in a sardine can, indicating the extraordinary status of this man.

"It's really strange that the deputy director would personally take us out on a mission, you must know that he didn't even look at a task of this level before. One of the four women said.

"Is it because there's something terrible at the mission site?" asked another man in sunglasses.

"Could it be the little lover raised by the deputy director?" a young man guessed.

"I can hear you all. As the protagonist of the discussion, the deputy director spoke, "I'm here for one person." ”

"You can value one of the 'three nos', it seems that this person has something to do with 'end-of-life'. Said the strongest man in the foursome.

"Finality" seemed to be a heavy topic, and the strong man just mentioned the word, and the atmosphere in the cabin cooled down.

"Yes, for the sake of the 'end'. The deputy director said in a deep voice.

There was a knock on the door, which shocked Haomo's body, he quickly closed the sandalwood box and threw it in the corner of the dining room where the broom was stacked, he didn't want others to see the knife of unknown origin.

"It's coming!" Haomo trotted to open the door, and a man in the uniform of the Search Bureau stood outside the door.

"Mr. Siegfried!"

"Happy birthday, Mo. Siegfried smiled as he walked through the door. This man is the investigator who was sent to take care of Haomo in the first place.

"What's the matter?" Haomo asked timidly while his eyes kept looking at the corner of the broom puppet of the team, and he realized at this time what a stupid move it was to put that box there, a black box stood out in the broom pile, this is simply three hundred taels of silver here, and it is difficult for others not to see it.

Fortunately, Zieg flew through the door and did not walk to the dining room, but sat down on the sofa in the living room. Still, Haomo would be worried that he would suddenly make a request to sweep the floor.

"It's nothing, it's just that Mr. Painless has something I want to convey to you. ”

"I thought it was all over in the letter. In order to hide his weakness, Haomo grabbed his hair.

"This is a temporary notice, and I just received it, there is an 'SSS' class demon who has escaped to this city, and I have been appointed to search for it, so I will not be able to protect you for a while, so you have to be careful and pay more attention to the anomalies around you. ”

"'SSS' class?" Hao Mo exclaimed, "I remember that the search bureau's hazard assessment said that the 'SSS' class threat was equivalent to a tactical nuclear bomb. Should I go out and hide?" Haomo asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, Xiaomo, according to the briefing sent, this demon has been seriously injured and does not have that kind of power for the time being. Hearing Haomo's question, Siegfried comforted.

"But you said for the time being, what if he recovers?"

"Mr. Painless has already brought someone on his way, and this matter will be resolved soon, and besides, he said that he wants to get together with you after this matter. ”
