The Considerate Relevant Authorities

Therefore, the Relevant Department have also appeared quite assertive during this millennium.

Come or don't come, there's no place for you here.

There are prisons, though.

Therefore, if, in the assessment by the Relevant Department, you, as an S-rank Talent User or A-rank Talent User, are deemed to have a certain degree of impact on the overall social order, people will not go along with you.

It's fair to say that the society we live in now is only superficially a society, and we owe a great deal to the Abyss Plane.

If those fools from the Abyss Plane didn't want to invade this world, those powerful figures wouldn't be able to come out. If those powerful figures couldn't come out, they wouldn't be able to give gifts and equipment to their descendants. If their descendants didn't have gifts and equipment, they wouldn't be able to maintain the normal operation of society.

At least that basic reading book mentions a place where the Relevant Department detain Talent User.

Its name is Heavenly Prison (Heavenly Prison).

That's right, it's called the Heavenly Prison.

It's a place specifically for detaining Talent User; even S-rank Talent User find it extremely difficult to leave.

This is a gift from some unknown big shot.

However, the Heavenly Prison has a drawback: Heavenly Prison cannot be moved. So unless some S-rank Talent User is completely out of their mind, they won't be tricked into going to the Heavenly Prison when they still have the ability to move.

Even a simpleton like Liu Wenxuan would avoid the location of the Heavenly Prison.

It's not that the Heavenly Prison is completely unusable; the main problem is that no one is currently strong enough to command Heavenly Prison.

That Heavenly Prison itself is a Supreme Treasure for trapping people.

Perhaps that big shot is a newly promoted big shot and doesn't know how weak people are in the early stages of the Spiritual Energy Revival?

She's genuinely generous, but she's also genuinely brainless.

If you think the name "Heavenly Prison" is a bit old-fashioned, it does indeed have another name.

The Third Mental Hospital.

Hmm, it sounds even worse now.

So Chen Luo was indeed saving this A-rank Talent User.

Although this Talent User did kill his stepfather, and there was a reason for it, punishment was still inevitable.

Even in the world of Talent User, the concept of a criminal record exists.

However, if a human causes trouble while Talent User is performing a mission or spontaneously maintaining social order, then as long as it is confirmed that the other party is indeed involved with a monster, or that the other party is a monster themselves, killing them would at most result in a symbolic fine.

"Hey, is this Xia? I've found an out-of-control Talent User who can transform into Slime of various attributes, currently water, wind, and fire. Could you come over for a bit? It's okay, I'm not injured, it's the other one that's hurt. I've shared my location with you. Um, if possible, it would be best if you could get here within 10 minutes."

Because Chen Luo is going to have dinner with Liu Wenxuan in 15 minutes.

"Um, young man, are you a government official?" The middle-aged man standing next to Chen Luo asked cautiously after Chen Luo hung up the phone.

"I'm not him, but the person I just spoke to was. What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Chen Luo glanced at the other person.

"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask what kind of punishment this monster will receive? Will it be captured? Will it be killed? Or will it be dissected or something?" the middle-aged man thought maliciously.

"Huh? Are you out of your mind? What you two did was called fighting, at most you'd be detained for 5 to 10 days." Chen Luo looked at the man with an expression as if he were an idiot.

"Huh?" The middle-aged man's face stiffened slightly.

"But... but he committed a crime with superpowers, right? Shouldn't he be punished more severely? And shouldn't monsters like him be locked up immediately to prevent him from harming society? If you release him so easily again, what if he hurts someone again?" After a moment of stiffness, the middle-aged man's emotions began to get out of control.

Damn it, what if this guy comes out again and drags me into an alley and beats me up again?

This time someone saved me and I'm fine, but what if next time no one saves me and I get beaten to death?

"You yelled at me? If you yell at me again, believe me, I'll beat you to death right now. I'm not from the Relevant Department." Chen Luo clenched his fist.

"And I advise you not to yell at the people from the Relevant Department when they arrive. Be careful they don't accuse you of crimes against humanity, throw you in jail, and put you in life imprisonment," Chen Luo warned the other party.

Chen Luo was doing it for his own good.

Yun Xia is not a person with a good temper. At least if this middle-aged man dares to yell at her, Yun Xia will punch him and he will be bedridden for at least a month.

While talking to the middle-aged man, invisible threads continuously wrapped around the Talent User's body, beginning to alter his consciousness.

The Herrscher of Knowledge has altered your consciousness; do not attack the Herrscher of Knowledge in the future.

Ahem, since Chen Luo didn't know what kind of temper this guy had, he planned to give him a hint first. Modifying his consciousness was the easiest thing to do when he was unable to resist, since he was already unconscious—how could he possibly have any consciousness left?

Don't hit me when you wake up. Hit your dad instead. Hmm, I should call him stepfather. Oh well, it means the same thing anyway.

Chen Luo had no intention of having any conflict with this A-rank Talent User. Wouldn't it be better if everyone just got along peacefully? Anyway, Chen Luo didn't have any grudge against him; the one who did was that middle-aged man.

Wouldn't it be better to use that time to earn Primogem?

"Ugh..." A sound that seemed to be in pain rang out, and Chen Luo then saw that the Slime that had been bricked into the wall had slowly opened its eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Luo pulled all his silk threads back.

Very good, Chen Luo has greatly reduced the other party's hostility towards him. They probably won't attack Chen Luo now.

"Hey, you're awake." Chen Luo made a small water balloon and put it on the other person's face to help them wake up quickly.

Moreover, Chen Luo's little water ball also has a certain healing effect, making it one of the few water-attribute spells with a healing effect.

However, it only has a certain therapeutic effect, and the effect is extremely weak, so Chen Luo had never used it before.

It's just a basic spell, so it's normal.

Once Chen Luo can resonate with the light element, he should be able to use holy light. As for good healing effects, we should look to the holy light healing of the Western Church.

Barbara's elemental combat skill does have a healing effect, but the problem is that it's a bit expensive.

Chen Luo actually wanted to get it for free.

"Cough cough..." The somewhat thin boy was pinned to the wall, looking very weak.

"Come on, don't say anything now. Think back to how you felt when you were so angry that you transformed into Slime, and then transform into Hydro Slime." As Chen Luo spoke, he made another water ball and stuck it to the other person's body.

"Try turning into Hydro Slime. Hydro Slime have pretty good self-healing properties." Chen Luo taught him with words while guiding him with the abilities of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Ah!!!" The boy's shout was weak at first, but it became strong and powerful later.

Finally, the boy successfully transformed from a normal human into Hydro Slime, then turned into a puddle of water that flowed directly from the wall to the ground, before transforming back into a humanoid Slime.

After awakening their talent for the first time, each Talent User can instinctively use their talent again.

Upon seeing the opponent's Hydro Slime form, Chen Luo used basic elemental magic to summon many small water balls and send them into the opponent's body.

Since the opponent's Living Slime form can absorb fire, can the Hydro Slime form absorb water?

The answer is yes.

It can indeed be absorbed.

However, there is an upper limit.

"If you feel you've recovered, then turn back into a human. Don't rush to beat him up. At least wait until I figure things out before you do, okay?" Chen Luo kindly advised the other party.

"I want to... kill him! To avenge my mother!" Unfortunately, it seems that Xiao Han did not listen to Chen Luo's words.

I forgot to mention that the reason the other party was so angry and wanted to kill the middle-aged man was because the middle-aged man inadvertently revealed while beating the boy that he had used a slow-acting poison to kill the boy's mother in an attempt to seize the family property.

After that, as long as the middle-aged man beats the boy every day until he can't take it anymore and "commits suicide," then he will be the sole designated heir to the huge fortune.

Then Chen Luo kicked the Hydro Slime against the wall again. Of course, he didn't use much force.

However, the opponent's Hydro Slime form didn't seem to be too afraid of Shield Bash, but rather of Slicing attacks, so Chen Luo's kick didn't seem to cause much damage. Of course, Chen Luo was also holding back; otherwise, even if it was water, Chen Luo could have easily destroyed it with a single kick.

It wasn't until Chen Luo drew his Unsheathed Sword that the other party was forced to calm down again.

"I don't want to get involved in the special relationship between the two of you. Once the Relevant Department arrive, they will naturally clear your name. The Relevant Department don't really follow the laws of ordinary society. Their attitude towards murderers is one life for one life. It's a rather ancient idea, but it's very useful," Chen Luo advised the boy.

Because Relevant Department frequently deal with incidents related to the Dark World, it is highly inappropriate to use ordinary laws to regulate them.

However, there are laws that do govern them. For example, there is a law that circulated in the Dark World a thousand years ago, which can be used as a reference.

But what was a thousand years ago? That was ancient times, where the prevailing belief was that one life could be exchanged for another.

Life imprisonment? That doesn't exist.

Ancient criminal law was much more severe than it is now. Even if the Relevant Department reduced the sentence to a lesser degree based on the current reality, the minimum penalty would still be death.

In ancient Relevant Department, this man would have been put to use in the production of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

The reason for the death sentence is that no one knows how to practice the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Of course, the Relevant Department in general don't deal with cases like wife-killing; those are things that ordinary departments handle.

The reason these regulations were formulated is because some Talent User or practitioners might accidentally discover this situation while performing acts of chivalry. You can't stop them from doing their part, or those young heroes would really get angry with you.

I want to do my duty as a chivalrous person, but you won't let me. I'm going to tell my master.

Well, how should I put it? A thousand years ago, people were truly chivalrous, riding the wind on their swords to vanquish demons across the land. The atmosphere of cultivation was very righteous.

Although there are occasionally some bad apples, the majority of the upright people are good.

After all, with the Spiritual Energy Revival, it is easier for some demons to emerge, and it won't do if no one is there to exorcise them.

Pressure makes it easier for humanity to unite, and this is true in every era.

Chapter 212 Humanized Relevant Department

After Chen Luo said these words, the boy did indeed calm down. Although there was still hatred in his eyes when he looked at the man, he at least became human again, which meant that the other party was willing to give up for the time being.

But the middle-aged man lost his composure; he became somewhat flustered.

Although the middle-aged man boasted that his method of poisoning was quite discreet, he was unsure whether these supernatural beings would have any way of detecting it.

The middle-aged man was panicked, but not completely panicked.

At least the poisoning method he found in his family's ancient book did work, and modern medical methods couldn't detect it.

"I always felt that the relationship between the two of you was a bit complicated, but that's not my concern anymore. Hmm, the person we've been waiting for has arrived." Chen Luo, who had been monitoring the two of them with his Herrscher of Knowledge ability, was too lazy to bother with them anymore.

Let's leave the safety of these two people to the Relevant Department.

I believe the Relevant Department will make a very proper arrangement.

Especially after the victim became A-rank Talent User, this decision will certainly become more [fair].

If the Relevant Department weren't stupid, they certainly wouldn't drive a promising young man to his death for the sake of this middle-aged man.

Given the extent of this boy's hatred, he's willing to do anything illegal if he can't get revenge.

As for the recipe in the ancient book in that middle-aged man's house?

It's just a rather unsophisticated formula for a poison, only it uses a spiritual poison that cannot be detected by modern medical methods.

In the End of Dharma Era, there is basically no spiritual energy left in the world, not even spiritual medicines that have been stored for hundreds or thousands of years.

A single ginseng root can revive the dead and heal bones, but the medicinal effects of a thousand-year-old ginseng root that still exists in the world are far inferior.

This is because the spiritual energy in ginseng has been exhausted. There is a big difference between medicines without spiritual energy and those with spiritual energy, including many poisons used by cultivators.

It's like a cultural gap; there will always be some lucky people who find treasures after that gap.

This middle-aged man was lucky, but not entirely lucky.

He was lucky to escape legal punishment, but unfortunately chose an ending that was worse than death for himself.

It is foreseeable that after the Relevant Department find out the truth, they will definitely sentence this man to death in order to win over the teenager.

The key point is that this is still compliant and legal.

More importantly, the death penalty can be carried out by the boy himself.

Tell me, is it flexible or not?

Moreover, given that the teenager has been subjected to domestic violence for more than a year, perhaps the Relevant Department could allow the teenager to commit domestic violence against the middle-aged man for more than a year before sentencing him to death.

It can be said to be quite humane.

"Ah Luo, are you alright?" As soon as Yun Xia appeared, she touched Chen Luo's body repeatedly to check on his condition.

"Stop touching me, it's okay. I'm an A-rank Talent User, and I've been Talent User for half a month now. How could I not beat a novice Talent User?" Chen Luo crossed his arms to resist Yun Xia's advances.

"Hey, I was just worried about you." After seeing that Chen Luo was indeed alright, Yun Xia stood on tiptoe and patted Chen Luo's shoulder.

"But where did your shoes go?" Yun Xia asked, looking down at Chen Luo's feet.
