Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

On the phone screen, a slightly blurry video is sweeping the entire internet with tens of thousands of reposts per second.

The video's background is the famous Crescent River in Jinghai City.

An elderly man with white hair, wearing a blue robe and surrounded by a light mist, was sitting cross-legged on the water.

He held a bright green bamboo pole in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, a huge grass carp leaped out of the water.

"This deity is fishing here to comprehend the Way of Heaven; mortals, please give way!"

The old man's voice was ethereal, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Just then, a young man in a crisp police uniform and white gloves appeared in the shot.

Lu Jingyan, with one hand in his pocket, walked steadily to the riverbank and casually tapped the warning sign next to him.

"Old sir, I don't know how well you've grasped the Dao, but you've seized the Dao."

Lu Jingyan's voice was steady, exuding a rationality that would make even the gods bald.

"In accordance with the Water Law of the People's Republic of China and the Regulations on River Management of Jinghai City."

"First, the Crescent River is a national second-class protected water source, and fishing in any form is strictly prohibited, especially fishing that violates the principle of gravity like you did."

"Secondly, your unlicensed hovering in the middle of the channel seriously affected the operational safety of the dredging vessel."

The old man froze, his emerald green bamboo pole trembling slightly: "You...you dare to disrespect me, the god of this river!"

"Even God needs to have a witness."

Lu Jingyan expressionlessly pulled a parking ticket from his pocket with practiced ease.

"Because you illegally fished in the road and are suspected of disrupting water traffic order."

"A fine of two hundred dollars, fishing gear confiscated, please come ashore immediately for further investigation."

At the end of the video, the "river god" was pulled out of the water by Zhao Tiezhu with a high-pressure fishing net, looking completely bewildered.

The comment sections of this video on platforms such as Weibo and Douyin have completely crashed.

"Hahaha, sorry, I was actually quite scared of the spiritual energy revival, but now I just want to laugh."

"Immortal: I wish to ride the wind and return home. Director Lu: You don't have a flight permit, get down here!"

"I used to think that the emergence of monsters meant widespread suffering, but now it seems like it's just a way to boost Director Lu's KPIs."

"None of you in the family understand, but yesterday the guy who hanged himself downstairs from my apartment was forced to recite the 'Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Law' for three hours by Director Lu because he was singing late at night and disturbing the neighbors!"

The public's panic, under this absurdly forceful application of the rule of law, strangely transformed into a kind of mockery.

People have discovered that it doesn't matter if you're a thousand-year-old fox demon or a ten-thousand-year-old river god.

As long as the police are still around, as long as that badge is still shining, the sky will never fall.

In Lu Jingyan's eyes, the so-called spiritual revival was nothing more than the emergence of a group of "special citizens" who needed legal education.

Some netizens have even launched an online campaign called "Take a picture of the illegal monsters around you".

This enthusiasm for public participation has brought Jinghai City's public security environment to an unprecedented level of harmony.

At this time, the Supernatural Phenomena Management Bureau.

Lu Jingyan sat in the large leather chair in the director's office, the desk in front of him piled with all sorts of strange and unusual files.

"Request for a replacement first-generation ID card after a zombie in an ancient tomb awakens."

"Special Crackdown Plan for Several Recent Cases of Fraudulent Advertising of 'Goddess of Mercy Who Grants Children' Defrauding Middle-aged and Elderly Women of Their Money."

Lu Jingyan felt a dull ache in his temples.

He reached up and rubbed his temples vigorously, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Director Lu, don't look so gloomy, take a look at this."

Across from her desk, Su Xiaoxiao was holding a steaming cup of bubble tea.

She pushed a tactical tablet in front of Lu Jingyan, on which was a newly drafted household registration template.

"This is the 'Special ID Card for Non-human Intelligent Life Forms' that I designed overnight."

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the design on the screen, her eyes sparkling.

"The front features a miniature of our Bureau's national emblem, while the back contains not only a DNA sequence but also a spectrum of spiritual energy fluctuations."

"I have had the technology department install sensors at all border crossings and public transportation hubs throughout the city."

"As long as those guys without permits dare to show their faces, the system will automatically sound an alarm."

Lu Jingyan took the tablet and glanced at it, his gaze lingering on the options for document types.

"Species classification: carbon-based, spirit, mutant, half-beast..."

Lu Jingyan snorted coldly and put the tablet back on the table.

"Add a cancellation option: for anyone who refuses to cooperate with management or commits a crime with malicious intent, their household registration will be physically cancelled."

"Director Lu, is this what you call 'removing names from the species list'?"

Su Xiaoxiao took a sip of milk tea and teased with a grin.

"You're not just a cop anymore; the whole internet has given you a new nickname."

Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow, his tone indifferent: "What title?"

Su Xiaoxiao put down her milk tea, stood up, and walked to the window.

She pointed out the window to the vampire count lining up to get calcium supplements in the courtyard and the fat tiger practicing marching in front of the moon.

The girl turned around and winked playfully at Lu Jingyan.

"Director Lu, congratulations!"

"You are now a true 'Enforcer of the Three Realms'."

Looking out the window at those outcasts tamed by the rule of law, Lu Jingyan's lips curled into a faint, cold smile.

"No matter which realm it is, since it's on my turf, it has to follow the rules."

He lowered his head, picked up the black pen again, and signed his name on the document.

Each stroke of the pen, powerful and penetrating, is like a shackle used to judge evil.

Just then, Zhao Tiezhu rudely pushed open the office door.

"Boss! Something terrible has happened! There's a female ghost in red outside, insisting she's your soulmate from three lifetimes!"

"She's holding a big red marriage certificate and threatening suicide in our lobby!"

"She said if you don't take responsibility, she'll give us a real-life 'soul scattering' performance right there and then!"

Lu Jingyan's hand holding the pen suddenly froze, and a strong sense of annoyance, provoked by the legal illiterate, flashed in his deep black eyes.

"A love story spanning three lifetimes?"

He raised his head, his cold gaze sending a chill down Zhao Tiezhu's spine.

"Go tell her that in China, a contract without any administrative notarization is an illegal contract."

"By the way, did she pay her property taxes after illegally remaining in the mortal realm for so many years after her death?"
