Their commission was suspicious.

However, if a human causes trouble while a gifted individual 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 slimes 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 any department." Chen Luo clenched his fist.

"And I advise you not to yell at the people from the relevant departments 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 gifted individual's body, beginning to alter his consciousness.

The Lawrence of Consciousness has altered your consciousness; do not attack the Lawrence of Consciousness 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-level talent. 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 raw gems?

"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 him 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 a slime, and then transform into a water slime." As Chen Luo spoke, he made another water ball and stuck it to the other person's body.

"Try turning into a water slime. Water slimes 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 a water 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 talented individual can instinctively use their talent again.

Upon seeing the opponent's water 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 Water 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 water slime against the wall again. Of course, he didn't use much force.

However, the opponent's Water 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 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 authorities arrive, they will naturally clear your name. The relevant authorities 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 departments frequently deal with incidents related to the underworld, 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 underworld 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 departments reduced the sentence to a lesser degree based on the current reality, the minimum penalty would still be death.

In ancient times, 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 departments 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 talented individuals 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 them are upright and good.

After all, with the revival of spiritual energy, 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 Departments

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 authorities.

I believe the relevant departments will make a very proper arrangement.

Especially after the victim became an A-level talent, this decision will certainly become more [fair].

If the relevant departments 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 Dharma-ending Age, 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 departments 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 authorities 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-level talent user, and I've been a 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.

"Could it be that this boy who can turn into a slime burned your shoes?" Yunxia asked, pointing at Xiao Han.

"No, it's mainly because I wasn't wearing shoes. I discovered that my Wandering Swordsman talent yields more rewards when I walk barefoot, and it doesn't hurt my feet," Chen Luo said.

"Oh my, a wandering swordsman has this kind of talent? It's true that everyone's talent needs to be discovered. If you were to walk around naked, wouldn't you get even more rewards? Have you tried it?" Yun Xia suddenly asked with great interest, her tone filled with a hint of excitement.

"...What do you want to do?" Chen Luo looked at Yun Xia with some surprise.

Although Chen Luo did not read the other party's thoughts in order to prevent the other party from discovering his Herrscher of Knowledge talent, he could still sense the other party's emotions.

But now Chen Luo would rather not have this ability.

"Ahem, don't mind it, I was just curious." Yun Xia waved her hand, realizing her lapse in composure and trying to save face.

"Is this the one you mentioned who can turn into a slime? Hey kid, what's your talent level? What's your name? I suggest you don't try to hide it. Your talent level represents how much we value you. The higher your level, the more we value your requests. Of course, don't exaggerate too much, we have a lie detector." Yun Xia turned her head directly and asked the boy in a rather forceful manner.

Yunxia spoke very rudely, but she had the right to.

After all, in this era where SS-level talents have not yet emerged, S-level talents represent the pinnacle of combat power.

Although those big shots came out early and sent a lot of good stuff to their factions, whether by coincidence or due to the rules, they all sent things that were defensive, trapping, or supportive, and none of them were items that could kill.

According to that foundational book, the rules of this world seem to favor the cultivation of a new power every millennium.

Jiangshan has talented people on behalf of the people, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years.

Therefore, the first 50 years of each millennium are 50 years of flourishing development for gifted individuals.

Fifty years later, the seals of various powerful figures were broken, and they gradually joined this world.

Although this time, due to the invasion of that great traitor from the Abyss Plane, the time of the great being's birth was brought forward, and he was also given a lot of ancient knowledge as a bonus.

But the overall tone remains unchanged; it's just that gifted individuals are subject to certain constraints.

From the perspective of social order alone, this is a good thing, at least it will not lead to the awakening of those gifted individuals who then fight each other for territory, causing a third world war.

Those remnants of the old era were also quite aware of this, at least until the end of this new 50 years, they tacitly accepted that this era belonged to the gifted.

Therefore, these S-level talents dared to openly challenge the Vatican.

That's because in an era when SS-level talents didn't emerge, and when the powerful figures hadn't been unsealed, the Vatican really had to passively take hits.

Although the other party may have been given many powerful protective items by their god.

But a counterattack is truly impossible.

Of course, no S-class talent has ever dared to actually overturn the Vatican, because although the Vatican's bigwigs didn't provide them with lethal weapons, you can't be sure if they provided some cultivation methods or techniques for one-time terrorist suicide attacks.
