But before giving the real answer, Bai Lin didn't want Huangfu Jun to experience the thrill of everything being answered right away, so he first posed a question: [Why do you suspect that the childish voice isn't the demon's true voice?]
Huangfu Jun didn't notice Bai Lin's little scheme at all and answered bluntly: [It's easy to explain. I noticed that the little demon's voice is the same as the little girl's in the illusion. Either the little girl in the flood was an illusion it created, or its voice itself is an illusion.]
The corners of Bai Lin's eyes curved slightly. This quick-witted little brain would be perfect as his subordinate.
Bai Lin gave the final answer: [You guessed right. That voice isn't from its true body. The so-called slumber barrier is essentially the demon's world of consciousness. Humans who enter this world—as long as they haven't been dead too long—can have their consciousness and memories read by the demon.]
[As for this voice, it's also something it learned by偷学. Before, it couldn't even produce sounds within the range of human understanding. By absorbing the 'Planet Dominator' energy field released by dying humans, it gained the ability to take on human form.]
Huangfu Jun frowned slightly and said: [Like Director Zhang? Is it much harder for demons in the deep sea to take human form than for land-based demons?]
Bai Lin nodded: [Naturally. After all, there are very few human activities in the deep sea. This demon's true name is Mogharo Fish King, a giant fish demon. It moves slowly, rarely wakes up, and spends most of its time sleeping.]
