190: Big Cleanup

“Everyone has seen it. Now, I hope everyone cooperates in cleaning up the Demon God Cult followers. This is the list of suspects, let’s split up and act,” Lin Ye said. After recording the fate lines of these demon people, he sent them to everyone.

The politicians all expressed their agreement.

Speed is of the essence in war. A group of people immediately began to mobilize the energy of their respective forces to arrest those on the list Lin Ye had recorded.

However, they discussed among themselves in private.

“Chief Lin’s strength is truly unfathomable. There are hundreds of Star Level, dozens of Star System Level, and even a few Star Domain Level here, yet no one could move under his domain.”

“Not only that, his methods for investigating demon people and locking onto suspects are simply miraculous.”

“Everyone should cooperate well. Chief Lin is still so young, and choosing a side is very important.”

Meanwhile, on the Dwarf Race side, Dwarf King Rui Jin was furious.

“Damn it, are you trying to fool me? So many traitors mixed in, and no one told me. Hmph, it seems I’ve been too lenient.” Rui Jin glared fiercely at his ministers.

The ministers were terrified. Indeed, a minority among them had been contacted by the Demon God Cult, mostly those who were not very submissive to Rui Jin.

These people were the most panicked, because Rui Jin had basically locked onto them as well.

This was because the Dwarf Race politicians who had become demon people were mostly those whose ideals clashed with Rui Jin’s.

“It seems this is also a good opportunity to clean up these eyesores,” Rui Jin thought. Aside from being a bit upset about losing face in front of his teacher, this matter didn’t seem like a bad thing.

Rui Jin began a frenzied arrest campaign.

As for Alice, her elves were pure and innocent. It wasn't that the elves' ability to resist temptation was strong, but rather that they were simply homebodies, with small circles, making it difficult for outsiders to integrate. Additionally, their love for nature and dislike for the bloody ways of demons made it very difficult to corrupt them.

Well, unless it was someone like Kaxiu who had fallen for various reasons, they were an exception.

The outside world originally thought that a period of calm would follow the arrests, but unexpectedly, an even larger arrest operation ensued.

For a time, rumors spread, and everyone was on edge, fearing for themselves.

However, after discovering that the arrests were targeting mostly disreputable individuals, those with clear consciences felt relieved.

This exorcism and arrest campaign lasted for a year.

A batch would be arrested, then a batch released, and then another batch arrested from the network of the demonized.

Lin Ye announced the reason for the arrests ten days after they began. By then, most of the big fish had been caught, leaving only small fry.

The outside world was full of curiosity about Lin Ye’s methods, discussing how he managed to identify them.

Compared to the harm of the Demon God Cult, the difficulty lay in how deeply they were hidden.

“Chief, this is the list of demon people after the cleanup.” Little Chen sent the list to Lin Ye.

The dense list contained over five million people.

Lin Ye was also somewhat startled.

The harm caused by these big fish was too great.

Fortunately, they were discovered in time. If it had waited another thousand years, reaching the peak of the Demon God Cult’s chaos, then dealing with it would have been even more difficult.

Five million seems like a lot, but it’s actually not much at all.

Currently, the human population has reached over two hundred billion; five million facing this number is negligible.

“Arrange the executions. I want the demon blood to flow continuously for ten years.” To prevent this situation from recurring in the future, Lin Ye decided on a bloody suppression, public executions, to warn the world.

Moreover, to prevent this situation from continuing, the punishment for demon people must be as cruel as possible, to deter those who harborlucky from acting recklessly.

Preventative measures also need to keep up.

Lin Ye wanted to develop an instrument to identify demon people and establish an agency for demon person identification to assist law enforcement officers in their identification.

This project is not simple.

But it is a good deed that benefits the country and the people.

The destruction caused by demon people is terrifying, far surpassing that of opium countless times over.

Smoking too much opium at most kills one person, but with demon people, not just one person dies, but countless people are hunted as blood food.

Furthermore, there is deeper destruction, such as causing social unrest, conflicts, and class antagonism.

These five million demon people alone devoured over a hundred million lives.

Especially the big fish among them, one move from them would cause a massive incident, with countless Deaths.

For the past thousand years, they have been like leeches, sucking human blood.

The execution live broadcast was rated 18+. Teams of demon people were led onto the stage, their crimes announced, and then they were beheaded.

Using a laser gun? That’s too cheap for you.

Those with serious crimes would be subjected to various torture instruments in rotation. The big fish would even have priests heal them, torturing and healing simultaneously. What? Are you crazy? Impossible. The priests’ sobering spells and the like will nurse you back to consciousness.

They could neither die nor go mad; they could only endure endless torture.

Some people felt Lin Ye was too cruel, but upon hearing the series of crimes for which they were punished, they only felt it was too lenient.

This led to the emergence of two factions: the conservative faction and the radical faction. The radical faction believed Lin Ye’s punishments were too conservative and let these beasts off too lightly, even offering suggestions for improving the torture methods.

The conservative faction, on the other hand, believed the radical faction was too conservative and should intensify their efforts.

Within humanity, the resistance against the Demon God Cult was almost unprecedented in its intensity.

Dwarf King Rui Jin also learned from this, and for a time, the Demon God Cult was reviled by everyone.

......

“The Blue Star branch has been completely eradicated?” Inside the Demon God Cult headquarters, a demon person gasped.

“How is that possible? Complete eradication is impossible, alright.”

“Not entirely, there are still a few small fry hiding.”

“What’s the use of that? These useless people can’t even gather enough blood food for themselves, let alone hand it over to us.”

“Higgins was a good subordinate, with outstanding performance, but it’s a pity he fell too quickly.”

“Should we teach this Lin Ye a lesson? We, the Demon God Cult, are not to be trifled with.”

“Agreed, how dare that kid?”

“Even if he is the personal disciple of the Galaxy Lord, what does that matter? We, the Demon God Cult, haven’t we killed them before?”

“Agreed.”

“Agreed.”

“Agreed.”

......

Various demon person representatives all agreed.

Demon people have no leader, because no one can subdue all demon people.

They have no Dominator Level; demon people prioritize strength over laws, which is ultimately a shortcut, with the Star River being the limit.

“Who will go?”

A demon person asked abruptly.

“I have something else to do, it’s not convenient.”

“There’s a blood sacrifice recently that I need to preside over.”

“The planetary authorities have been cracking down hard recently, I’m worried, so I’ll go back and check.”

“I....”

......

How could selfish demon people be used as pawns by others?

“Old rule, each person sends a team.”

“Alright.”

“Alright.”

To prevent a situation where no one contributes, the Demon Person Council had a precedent: everyone contributes, so no one benefits at another’s expense.

They also established a Death order: demon people who fail a mission must die, only those who succeed can live.

This was also to prevent infighting among demon people from different teams, where no one would contribute.

Of course, this system is not perfect, but there is no perfect system in the world. As long as it is generally acceptable, it is fine. The more detailed a system, the fewer loopholes there are, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's better.
