2: The green lamp is always on, helping you to overcome difficulties!

Demon Suppression Division, Interrogation Room.

As soon as he reached the entrance, Jiang Lan heard a man's hoarse, desperate cries from within the Interrogation Room.

"Green Lantern shines eternal, dispelling hardship and calamity!"

Jiang Lan frowned slightly, looking inside through the iron bars outside the Interrogation Room.

On a wooden stake inside the Interrogation Room, iron chains as thick as a child's arm bound a blood-soaked man, who was almost unrecognizable.

Beside Jiang Lan, Yu Zhi shivered.

"These people, they're really a bunch of damn lunatics."

Jiang Lan nodded slightly. Who could deny it? He was already in such a state, yet he was still talking about dispelling hardship and calamity.

After a pause, he said to Yu Zhi:

"Go get me the case files. I'll go in and take a look."

The Captain told him to 'take care' of things, not to whip people.

Although his original body wasn't very strong, his mind was sharper than most, and he had made quite a few contributions to the Demon Suppression Division.

Now that the person had been caught, it meant the case was already clear.

But pulling one radish unearths many, and the Green Lantern Sect was not small; there was still much to dig out of this man's mind.

Most importantly, within the Green Lantern Sect, there were not only humans, but also demons!

"Alright, Boss, I'll be right back."

Yu Zhi said, then ran off into the distance.

Jiang Lan opened the bars and stepped into the Interrogation Room.

"Green Lantern shines eternal, dispelling hardship and calamity!"

Seeing Jiang Lan enter, the man's eyes bulged, and he roared loudly.

Jiang Lan ignored him, walking to a corner of the Interrogation Room and picking up a rattan whip.

"Save your strength, you'll have plenty to shout about later."

"Green Lantern shines eternal, dispelling hardship and calamity!"

Jiang Lan smiled, then walked in front of the man, holding the rattan whip.

Although he had never used such a thing before, the motion of cracking a whip was already an instinct for this body.

He flicked his wrist.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the tattered cloth shirt on the man's chest immediately tore open, revealing torn flesh and gushing blood.

"Agh!"

The man's eyes widened, his face contorted.

Catching his breath, he opened his mouth to shout again: "Green Lantern sh—"

"Crack!"

"Green Lantern—"

"Crack!"

After several consecutive lashes, the man finally quieted down, seemingly realizing that the Green Lantern Goddess couldn't dispel his current calamity.

Jiang Lan merely raised an eyelid at this, not asking any questions, and continued to whip the man's chest tirelessly, lash after lash.

At first, the man's screams were quite loud.

But as time passed, the man's voice gradually weakened.

"Boss."

Outside the door, Yu Zhi's voice sounded.

Jiang Lan casually tossed the whip aside and looked towards the iron-barred doorway, "Come in."

Yu Zhi pushed open the door, "I've got the case files."

Saying this, he handed the case files he was holding to Jiang Lan.

Taking the case files, Jiang Lan said, "Keep whipping him, but be careful not to kill him."

"Understood!"

Yu Zhi picked up the rattan whip and continued to lash the man.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lan walked to the side and began to read through the dossier by candlelight.

"Zhao Guisheng, Leather Refining Seventh Level martial artist, from Qinghe County, Linping..."

"In the fifty-fifth year of Shenwu, fourth month, in Xiao'an Village, seventy li south of Yan Capital, performed a living sacrifice. One hundred and six households in the entire village, totaling four hundred and thirty-two people, all perished without exception. The next day, only bloodstains remained, and all bodies were missing..."

Closing the case files, Jiang Lan took a deep breath.

The Skin Refinement Realm was merely the initial entry into the Dao of martial arts, yet he could slaughter over four hundred people by himself.

The disparity between being 'in the ranks' and 'not in the ranks' was truly absurd.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan's desire to practice martial arts grew even stronger.

"Yu Zhi."

"Here!"

Jiang Lan tossed the dossier into his hands, "According to this, bring his wife, children, and elderly here. If you can't bring them, kill them."

Yu Zhi looked bewildered.

What got into Boss? Was he treating him like the Captain? He was just an Unpaid Servant, where would he get such great ability?

However, his mind was quick, and seeing Jiang Lan's gaze, he immediately understood.

"Your subordinate will go handle it right away!"

Saying this, he was about to run out.

Zhao Guisheng, who had been hanging his head, suddenly lifted his head upon hearing this, "Beast!"

"Huh?" Jiang Lan pointed at his own nose, "Are you talking about me?"

"Beast!"

Jiang Lan smiled.

"Although I'm not a good person, when it comes to the word 'beast,' I can't compare to you. Killing your whole family is only eight or nine people, which can't compare to the one hundred and six households of Xiao'an Village."

Zhao Guisheng gritted his teeth.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Huh? I didn't say I wanted to ask anything. Didn't I say I'd kill your whole family?" Jiang Lan grinned, "Instead of calling me a beast, why don't you pray to your Green Lantern Goddess more? Maybe she really can dispel your hardship and calamity?"

"No! Don't kill my family! I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"

Zhao Guisheng no longer had his previous ferocity, instead pleading somewhat humbly.

He was truly afraid.

Looking at Jiang Lan, he didn't seem to be merely scaring him, but genuinely capable of doing such a thing.

"Tsk... Yu Zhi, don't go yet."

Jiang Lan called out to Yu Zhi, then looked at the man and said, "Tell me, what happened to the bodies?"

"What bodies?"

"Yu Zhi." Jiang Lan raised an eyelid.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" Zhao Guisheng quickly said, "The bodies were taken by the Mountain Lord after the sacrifice!"

Jiang Lan was startled.

"Tiger demon?"

Anyone called 'Mountain Lord' could only be a mature tiger.

Zhao Guisheng was silent for a moment, seemingly unwilling to say more.

But thinking of his family's lives, he still nodded with difficulty and said:

"Yes, the Mountain Lord is a tiger demon. After the sacrifice, the human sacrifices were taken by him."

"Where?"

"Ninety li south of the city, Black Wind Mountain."

Jiang Lan glanced at Yu Zhi, then looked darkly at the man.

"Think carefully, then tell me again."

The threat in his tone was self-evident.

Zhao Guisheng's voice quickly sounded.

"It is Black Wind Mountain, no mistake!"

"Realm?"

"Bone Refinement... I don't know what level."

Jiang Lan stood up and said to Yu Zhi:

"Let's go."

...Just as he walked out of the Interrogation Room, a translucent panel appeared before Jiang Lan.

【Suppressed a Leather Refining Seventh Level demon, gained seven years of Lifespan.】

【Remaining Lifespan: thirteen years.】

Jiang Lan was pleasantly surprised for a moment, but then he froze.

Wasn't that Zhao Guisheng a human? Why did he gain Lifespan from him?

Could it be that he was transformed from a demon?

He subconsciously shook his head.

Impossible.

Demons were demons; their appearance would definitely have demonic characteristics.

To be able to fully transform into a human form, their strength would have to reach at least the legendary Mortal Shedding Realm.

A demon of that Realm, let alone being caught by the Demon Suppression Division, if it really appeared, the Great Yan Dynasty would be annihilated in an instant.

Therefore, that Zhao Guisheng must be human.

After much thought, only one possibility remained.

The System considered Zhao Guisheng a demon.

This made sense; a normal person couldn't do the things he did.

"I say, Boss, that was brilliant!"

Yu Zhi's voice sounded in Jiang Lan's ear.

"Huh?" The panel in front of him disappeared, "What was brilliant?"

"Haha, when you said you'd get his whole family just now, it sounded so real, even I was scared."

Yu Zhi said:

"If you ask me, that kid is easily scared. He confessed everything after just a few words."

"If you want someone to open a window, they might disagree. But if you first say you'll tear down their roof, they'll agree to open the window."

Yu Zhi's face was full of admiration.

"Boss, you're truly amazing!"
