The Lazy King picked up the demon registration card, played with it for a while, and then threw it into his mouth.
Xu Liao remembered that there were still two demons on the run, so he asked casually, "Do you know where the other two fellows who were with you went?"
The Lazy King said shyly, "Those two fellows had some grudges against me. We had a little argument, so I ate them."
Xu Liao couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The saying that demons loved to eat humans was common in many made-up movies and TV shows. Of course, in lawless places, there were also demons who really liked to eat humans. However, in the area under the jurisdiction of the Myriad Demon Guild, there was almost no such barbaric behavior. Therefore, it was the first time he had heard of someone eating their own kind.
Although Xu Liao had always felt that he was still a human, he had been in too much contact with demons and had confused the difference between demons and humans. He would also regard humanoid and intelligent demons as his own kind.
The Lazy King had a conflict with his own kind and killed each other, which was not a big deal. However, he had actually eaten two of his own kind, which made Xu Liao feel a chill in his heart.
The Lazy King smacked his tongue and said happily, "The two fellows I ate were both female demons, tender and smooth. It's a pity that I ate too much and didn't leave you a leg …"
Xu Liao felt a tingling sensation in his heart, which made him very uncomfortable. He shouted, "I don't eat my own kind!"
The Lazy King shrugged and said, "I don't eat my own kind either. I've never eaten Heavenly Ghosts! Other demons are not the same kind as me. Just like how humans eat all kinds of wild beasts and livestock, as well as flowers, fruits, and vegetables. As long as it's life, humans eat anything. There are even some races that eat their own kind. They are even worse than us, the Heavenly Ghosts! "
Xu Liao was speechless. Humans had countless dark histories. Although they were indeed developing more and more in the direction of civilization, there were also many times when they had taken the wrong path.
Fortunately, Xu Liao was not a philosopher. He was too lazy to think about such a complicated problem. He was mature enough to know that there were many things that could not be reasoned with. He just shrugged and said, "I should be glad that you don't have to capture them, but I still hope that you won't eat such highly intelligent lifeforms in the future."
The Lazy King chuckled. The space around him trembled, and he disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Xu Liao couldn't help but inwardly suck in a breath of cold air, thinking, "This guy's innate divine ability is much more profound than Eastern Sky Sect's Sky Ghost Formless Escape Art. I've also killed 17 Heavenly Ghosts. I've even killed a Daemon General Heavenly Ghost, but the Sloth King has clearly surpassed the Daemon General level. "
Surpassing the Daemon General level was the Daemon Commander level! They were equivalent to the Dao Realm experts of the 18 immortal sects.
An expert of this level was beyond Xu Liao's ability to deal with. Even if he used all his trump cards, he would not be able to defeat an enemy of this level.
Xu Liao muttered to himself, "Luckily, this guy is too lazy. He actually gave up the battle and surrendered. Otherwise, I'm afraid that apart from waiting for Senior Crown Prince to save me, I would have definitely lost … "
Xu Liao finally solved all the problems and rushed back to the Dragon-pressing Mountain. He sent all the demons he had captured into the Dragon-pressing Mountain Prison and imprisoned them all.
The Myriad Demon Guild did not have that many departments. The police department had its own prison function. The belly of the Dragon-pressing Mountain was a prison that was suppressed by countless seals.
Because the police department had multiple functions, and there were not many demons that needed to be imprisoned, the Dragon-pressing Mountain Prison was not strictly managed. This was why seven demons had escaped from the Dragon-pressing Mountain Prison.
When Xu Liao took over the police department, he did not have the time to rearrange the Dragon-pressing Mountain Prison. He only sealed the demons' demonic qi.
There had been too many demons committing crimes during this period of time. Dragon-suppressing Mountain Prison was about to be filled with demons. Xu Liao could not help but sigh after handing over the demons he had captured to his subordinates to send to prison.
He did not need to look up the information to know the current situation of the Dragon-pressing Mountain Prison.
Xu Liao returned to his office. Not long after, Yin Suhua walked in with light footsteps. This Heavenly Dipper disciple of the Jade Tripod Sect had already been transferred to a civilian position. Most of the police department's documents were her handiwork.
Yin Suhua frowned her beautiful brows and said to Xu Liao, "If we don't deal with these demons, we won't be able to take in any more criminals."
Xu Liao rubbed his temples and said in a vexed tone, "Other than us, there are no other departments in the capital's Demon Affairs Institute that are responsible for law and order. There are no other prison facilities. We are already the last link. What else can we think of?"
Yin Suhua was clearly prepared for this. She whispered, "If there's no other way, let's give these demons moral education! I recently found a set of rules of conduct written by the Myriad Demon Guild for new demons. It's perfect for them to use as a teaching material. I suggest that all demons that fail the test be executed immediately so as to free up the cells for demons that are captured in the future. "
Xu Liao was truly out of ideas. He scratched his head and agreed to Yin Suhua's suggestion. This matter was naturally left to Yin Suhua.
Violence was the simplest and most effective method of education!
Although most people would find violence inhumane, such a method was not meant for humans to use. Why would there be a need for 'humane words'?
Either die or pass the test was enough to make any demon become 'diligent'. There was no need to worry about them slacking off.
After Yin Suhua took over the mission of dealing with demons, she only took ten days to train a batch of qualified naturalized demons. The demons that were arrogant and did not recognize reality were all 'dealt with' in front of the other demons that were imprisoned.
Yin Suhua's methods were not particularly cruel, but they were still extremely intimidating.
This method of education resulted in all the demons that graduated from Yin Suhua's moral education class' voluntarily 'joining the police department. They also submitted an application to join the Jade Tripod Sect. This made Xu Liao's subordinates swell like a rolling snowball.
Xu Liao was still considered a person who knew his place, but … with the expansion of the police department's strength, the demons that 'voluntarily' joined the police department included great demons like Zhu Jiulie, who were at the Demon General level. Even if no one deliberately guided them, they would still be dissatisfied with the current situation. Furthermore, Yin Suhua had deliberately guided them.
Without Xu Liao's knowledge, the police department had secretly started a movement to reclaim the authority of the various police departments. The newly joined demons hated the fact that they did not have the opportunity to 'contribute'. With such a good opportunity to curry favor with their superiors, almost all of them took the initiative.
Xiguan City's police department!
On this day, there was a long-awaited inspection from their superiors!
