3: Chapter 3: Unable to do anything else, all I can do is collect the bodies! The sky over Jiangcheng has finally fallen dark!

Jiangcheng, Law Enforcement Bureau.

"Captain Chen, according to the reporter, the perpetrator is a Martial Arts Student from Jiangcheng No. 7 High School. His mental state may have become abnormal due to long-term oppression, making him extremely aggressive! We need to handle this with caution!"

"A Martial Arts Student? Just a student, not a true martial artist. He still falls into the category of an ordinary person."

Chen Nantian didn't take it too seriously.

As a Law Enforcement Captain, he had already stepped into the Mortal Shedding Realm and become a powerful martial artist.

Although his aptitude was poor and he couldn't continue to improve, dealing with ordinary people was still simple for him.

The cases the Law Enforcement Bureau usually handled were all related to ordinary people.

Matters involving the infiltration of fierce beasts or murders by martial artists were all handled by specialists sent by the Martial Arts Bureau.

Soon, the law enforcement team had assembled.

The group drove into an old residential complex.

The eye-catching insignia of the Law Enforcement Bureau immediately attracted the attention of many residents.

For a moment, there was a buzz of discussion.

"What's going on? Did someone here commit a crime? Or did someone violate the ban and secretly raise a pet that could become a fierce beast, causing the Law Enforcement Bureau to show up?"

"Didn't you see the group chat? The nephew raised by the Lu family suddenly went crazy and killed the couple! As for the scene, I heard the first person to see it still hasn't recovered from the shock."

"The nephew raised by the Lu family? You mean Lu Qingyun, who had quite the talent for martial arts? What a pity. Everyone used to say he was the martial artist most likely to make it out of here, but he ended up being crippled. Still, practicing martial arts is indeed good; he can kill even after being crippled."

"Heh, what martial artist. With the attitude Lu Dacheng's family had toward him, he couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone practice martial arts. Don't listen to their nonsense!"

"Whatever. Anyway, they're either dead or crazy now, let's just watch the show."

...

Walking along the way, the sounds of discussion were constant.

Chen Nantian heard it all, and upon confirming there were no other victims in the house, he felt even less sense of urgency.

It was nothing more than a rather unusual murder case.

In this current high-martial era, human life really wasn't worth much!

Cruel and bloody!

This was the main tone of this era!

"Break it down."

Arriving at the door, Chen Nantian gave the order.

The law enforcement officers on the side were already prepared, waiting for Chen Nantian's command to break down the door!

However, before they could rush in.

A soft click sounded.

The door slowly opened from the inside.

Immediately, an exceptionally pungent smell of blood spilled out from inside, making people want to retch.

At the doorway, Lu Qingyun stood in place with a very natural smile on his face.

As if nothing had happened, he actually invited everyone to come inside.

A towel draped over the back of his neck, just like someone who had just finished a very intense exercise and wiped off their sweat.

"You're finally here. Don't just stand there, come on in."

"We don't have any good tea at home, just some water I boiled on the spot. Please forgive the poor hospitality."

Lu Qingyun stepped over the corpses of Wu Chunlan and Lu Dacheng and actually poured water in front of everyone; the scene looked extremely eerie.

Standing in place and watching for a long while, Chen Nantian was certain.

This boy was truly crazy, at the very least, a terminal case of mental illness!

However, in this era, mental illness was not a reason to escape punishment!

"Take him."

Chen Nantian waved his hand, not doing it himself.

Although his subordinates were not martial artists, since they could work in law enforcement, suppressing an ordinary person was still quite easy.

As for being a Martial Arts Student...

A joke!

These people of his were just former Martial Arts Students who had no talent, so no matter how they polished their bodies, they couldn't generate Qi and Blood Power!

"Captain Chen, let's talk things over properly, don't just resort to force."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I... might not be able to resist fighting back."

Lu Qingyun stopped the movement in his hands, and a surge of Qi and Blood Power suddenly rose up, his aura changing abruptly!

He went straight from a little lamb to a bloodthirsty, cruel, and ferocious beast!

Immediately, the law enforcement officers stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with shock and fear!

Only Chen Nantian's eyes flashed with a sharp light; he stepped forward several paces, shielding his team members behind him!

"Qi and Blood Power. You've become a martial artist."

It was not a question, but a straightforward, declarative tone.

Chen Nantian looked at Lu Qingyun, his eyes no longer able to maintain the calm expression from before.

A mentally ill person with no power was not worth worrying about.

Because they could kill at most two people before being caught and put to death.

But a person who had become a martial artist, even a genius with unlimited potential who achieved martial artist status at such a young age... who was also mentally ill.

The consequences of that were unimaginable!

As for why Lu Qingyun appeared in such a light in Chen Nantian's eyes...

What normal Martial Arts Student would slaughter their own relatives so nonchalantly and then continue practicing on the side as if nothing happened?

The feeling Lu Qingyun gave him was just like the feeling he had when facing a fierce beast for the first and only time in his life!

Brutal, bloodthirsty!

Extremely indifferent to life!

As if in his eyes, human life was just like the weeds on the roadside, completely worthless!

In reality, Lu Qingyun was actually thinking much the same as Chen Nantian!

Because...

[Discovered a wild Level 2 human. Although its level is higher than yours, as a BOSS in its infancy, how can you flee now! Charge! Fight him to the death, let him know that a Slime's life is no less than anyone else's!]

Above Chen Nantian's head, there was a huge red box.

The content inside made Lu Qingyun glance at it frequently; he always had the urge to attack him.

But he forcibly held back.

Not to mention that he had just started developing, and he didn't know if he could win.

Even if he could win, the consequences of killing a martial artist were completely different from killing a few ordinary people!

Chen Nantian shrank his neck, feeling that since he entered the door, his back had been cold, as if he was being watched by someone.

And the only person present who could pose a threat to him... was exactly one person.

He looked at Lu Qingyun, but what he got back was Lu Qingyun's exceptionally innocent and pure gaze.

Confirmed, it's this guy!

Chen Nantian didn't want to stay here for a single moment longer.

"Since you have become a martial artist, this matter is no longer within the jurisdiction of the Law Enforcement Bureau."

"I will contact the Martial Arts Bureau later to impose corresponding penalties on you as soon as possible! Also, I advise you: a martial artist's right to immunity for killing does not mean you can kill without limit. That is a law formulated to maintain the status of martial artists and maintain social harmony, not a license to kill indiscriminately!"

"Furthermore, for every person you kill, the consequence you bear is to kill the number of fierce beasts equal to five times the number of people you killed!"

"In other words, you now need to slay ten fierce beasts to atone for your crimes! For you right now, that is already a narrow escape from death!"

"Take care of yourself!"

After Chen Nantian finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Although Lu Qingyun had advanced to become a martial artist at this age and had a bright future.

He couldn't bring himself to think about befriending or investing in him at all; a person with such a disposition would not be grateful for small favors.

So, if he could avoid any further involvement in the future, he would be eternally grateful!

"Wait a moment."

Lu Qingyun spoke up, calling out to Chen Nantian.

After Chen Nantian turned back, he pointed to the two corpses on the ground, his smile remaining the same.

"Captain Chen, this should still be within your jurisdiction, right?"

"Please help clear them away; otherwise, it doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing."

Chen Nantian was silent for a while, then waved his hand, letting his subordinates carry the bodies away and clean up the floor.

Outside the unit door, a large crowd of residents had gathered to watch the commotion.

Upon seeing Chen Nantian and the law enforcement officers carrying the two corpses out, they all gasped in succession.

However, the culprit they had been waiting to see was nowhere to be found.

A brave person asked Chen Nantian: "Why didn't you bring that kid from the Lu family down? Was he killed on the spot, or is he waiting for a death sentence later?"

For a moment, numerous gazes were gathered on Chen Nantian, everyone waiting for his answer.

So they could use it as conversation fodder later.

Chen Nantian looked up, was silent for a long moment, then shook his head and said: "Sorry, we can't handle this matter."

"He... simply called us over to collect the bodies."

Upon hearing this, the whole scene suddenly fell into dead silence!

Someone muttered.

"He committed murder, you're not going to do anything about murder?"

Chen Nantian recalled Lu Qingyun's eyes that were indifferent to life, feeling powerless despite his best intentions!

He could only smile bitterly and say:

"I want to handle it too, but... I really can't!"

"He wants to kill, and we can only help him collect the bodies. As for the rest... there's nothing we can do!"

"Sigh!!"

Chen Nantian left.

Leaving a very dejected figure for those who originally wanted to watch the gossip, but now felt a chill in their hearts.

Unanimously, a bleak piece of music played in everyone's minds.

"Pear blossoms fall before your window..."

"The sky of Jiangcheng! After all, it has turned dark!"
