204: Get on the right track and add 2,000 years to your life

"There's no need for thanks; just do what you're supposed to do."

Jiang Lan waved his hand.

The several people in the main hall nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Niu Er and Ma Wu were the first to say:

"Hall Master, we will go apprehend the suspect now and return quickly!"

Black Demon and White Demon followed, saying, "Sir, please wait here for a moment."

Jiang Lan felt quite pleased.

"Go."

The suspects definitely needed to be caught; they couldn't just appear out of thin air.

Next, it was time to see the efficiency of his subordinates.

Jiang Lan watched the departing figures, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Don't disappoint me.

The several people exited, gathered their respective Hall members, and left the Law Enforcement Hall directly.

For a time, within the vast Law Enforcement Hall, only Cui Yushan and Jiang Lan remained.

Jiang Lan leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Cui Yushan thought for a moment and said to Jiang Lan:

"Sir, shall I go prepare breakfast for you?"

"No need."

Jiang Lan refused outright.

He wasn't accustomed to the food from this place.

Although Feng Yao didn't eat people, for other demons, eating people was already a habit.

Even if he specifically ordered no human flesh, who knew what had been cooked in the pot used for the meal?

Therefore, to avoid feeling disgusted, Jiang Lan simply ate nothing at all.

"This..." Cui Yushan was a bit awkward, then said, "Then, Sir, what would you like to do? Shall I find a few girls to perform a dance to entertain you?"

Jiang Lan glanced at him.

"Nothing is needed. You go do what you need to do; don't mind me."

Hearing Jiang Lan say this, Cui Yushan didn't say much more, just nodded and said, "Understood!"

With that, Cui Yushan picked up several scrolls nearby and began to read them to himself.

Jiang Lan, meanwhile, closed his eyes again, waiting silently.

For a time, the atmosphere in the hall once again fell into silence, with only the occasional sound of Cui Yushan turning the scrolls.

It is said that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. Although Jiang Lan was not a ruler, Cui Yushan truly experienced the feeling of being a eunuch.

As soon as it became quiet, Cui Yushan became afraid.

Before, he had followed many Hall Masters, but the pressure those previous Hall Masters put on him combined was not as great as the pressure Jiang Lan alone exerted.

And so, nearly an hour passed before someone finally returned to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Outside the main hall, a series of noisy footsteps sounded.

At the same time, Jiang Lan opened his eyes and looked outside.

He saw Black Demon and White Demon, one on the left and one on the right, escorting a fierce-looking middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had shackles around his neck, preventing him from lowering his head, so Jiang Lan could clearly see his face.

At this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to be lost in thought, his eyes open but unfocused, and he wasn't walking on his own; he appeared to be supported by Black Demon and White Demon.

Based on the strength of the middle-aged man's Physical Body, Jiang Lan judged that he should possess the power of the Mortal Shedding Middle Stage, which is around the fourth or fifth layer of Mortal Shedding.

A hint of joy appeared in Jiang Lan's eyes.

Not bad.

This efficiency is quite fast.

They've already caught one.

By this time, Black Demon and White Demon had already brought the man into the main hall.

"Reporting, Sir, the suspect has been brought! Please give your orders!"

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow.

"What crime did he commit?"

White Demon answered without hesitation, instantly responding to Jiang Lan's question:

"This suspect is named..."

"Enough, enough..." Jiang Lan waved his hand, interrupting White Demon.

He had only asked instinctively just now, but now he realized there was no need to ask.

Anyway, they were all going to die; there was no need to ask a dead man his name or what crime he had committed.

As long as he could provide Lifespan, that was enough.

Looking at the middle-aged man, Jiang Lan asked again:

"Was this man's soul captured by you two?"

"Reporting, Sir, precisely."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Lan said:

"Take him back."

Jiang Lan worried that if there was no soul, and he only killed the Physical Body before him, the System might not count it, which would be a waste.

"Understood."

Black Demon and White Demon were also obedient. After Jiang Lan spoke, two wisps of ethereal Qi floated out from their hands, merged together, and then drilled into the middle-aged man's head.

The next moment, the middle-aged man opened his eyes.

He first gazed around his surroundings in confusion, then lowered his head and saw the shackles on his neck, finally realizing what had happened.

He widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Lan, who was seated.

"Do you know who I am? How dare your Law Enforcement Hall arrest me?" The middle-aged man roared, "My father is Hall Master Chan..."

Jiang Lan couldn't listen anymore.

He stood up, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from his original position.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the middle-aged man.

"After you die, remember to send a dream to your father and tell him to come find me."

As Jiang Lan's words fell, he extended his right hand and directly placed it on the middle-aged man's head.

"Pfft!"

With a burst of force, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately rolled back, clearly no longer alive.

Although outwardly, the middle-aged man had no visible injuries, in reality, his entire brain had been churned into a paste by Jiang Lan's blow; he was as dead as could be.

At the same time, a virtual light screen appeared before Jiang Lan.

On it, text scrolled.

"[Killed a Mortal Shedding Fourth Layer Chan Demon, gained 2024 years of Lifespan.]"

"[Remaining Lifespan: 4757 years.]"

Tsk... not bad.

Over two thousand years of Lifespan obtained.

If he continued at this pace, five a day, each providing two thousand years, he could accumulate ten thousand years of Lifespan.

That's a considerable number.

Jiang Lan was quite happy, but Black Demon, White Demon, and Cui Yushan were all stunned.

What?

What's going on?

He just killed him directly?

Without even asking any questions?

Although this was the Law Enforcement Hall, wasn't the Sir's enforcement speed a bit too fast?

At the very least, one should first understand what law the person broke before considering how to enforce it.

But this was good; the person was brought up, didn't even say two sentences, and was directly killed.

"Sir..." Black Demon hesitated to speak.

"Hmm?" Jiang Lan looked up, "What's wrong?"

"No... nothing..." Black Demon shook his head repeatedly, fearing that one wrong word would lead him to the same fate as the dead man beside him.

Jiang Lan didn't pay attention.

Not only did he not know what the others were thinking, but even if he did, it wouldn't matter.

Why should he, Jiang Lan, explain his actions to a few small fry?

Jiang Lan said:

"Take him down and bury him somewhere; hurry up and find the next one."

"Gulp..." The several people collectively swallowed their saliva.

Jiang Lan, meanwhile, had already turned and was walking back to his seat.

Hmm... he truly was a good Hall Master who cared for his subordinates.

To prevent them from having too much work, he deliberately made the killing of the culprits less bloody.

How good is that? Just take him away, and there's no need to clean up.
