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

A dark blue six-pointed star metal matrix spun wildly at the bottom of a lead glass jar.

The blinding blue light penetrated the thick radiation shielding layer as if it were a tangible substance, illuminating the entire first command center as if it were a ghostly realm.

"Boss! Physically disconnecting the internet is completely useless!"

Su Xiaoxiao pushed open the tactical computer, which had completely gone black, in despair, clutching her hair tightly with both hands.

"This thing uses a quantum entanglement communication protocol! It doesn't need base stations or fiber optic cables at all!"

"The spatial coordinate data packet has been packaged! It will be sent to that so-called higher-dimensional controller in ten seconds at most!"

The countdown to death seemed like the Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads.

Zhao Tiezhu's eyes turned red with anxiety. He picked up the Gatling gun and prepared to use physical means to forcibly shatter the glass jar.

At this critical moment.

A violent, burning sensation suddenly surged deep within Lu Jingyan's mind.

That was the [Light of the Righteous Path: Warning God System] that accompanied him as he swept through countless gods and villains.

It did not wait for instructions from the host as usual.

This time, it seemed to sense the extreme anger of its territory being invaded by inferior beings, and took the initiative to protect its master!

"drop--!"

A domineering and deafening system notification exploded in Lu Jingyan's central nervous system.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible and massive torrent of data surged out of Lu Jingyan's body.

It transformed into a colossal code beast in mid-air, invisible to the naked eye.

The behemoth opened its abyss-like virtual maw and ruthlessly swallowed the hexagram matrix that was sending out coordinates.

Not only that.

This behemoth of code seems to think it's not enough to satisfy its hunger.

It also sucked in all the more than one hundred discarded system chips that had just been confiscated from various jurisdictions, skin and bones, in one gulp!

"Snap—Splash!"

The heavy, radiation-proof glass jar shattered into countless shards the moment it lost its internal magnetic field support.

The blinding, eerie blue light abruptly stopped.

The suffocating high-dimensional pressure in the entire command center also dissipated instantly like a tide.

The garbled text on the big screen stopped flashing and the tranquil night view map of Jinghai City was restored.

"Boss... Boss? Where's that glowing lump of iron?"

Zhao Tiezhu stood there, holding the Gatling gun, stunned. He looked at the broken glass all over the ground, then at Lu Jingyan, who was completely unharmed.

Lu Jingyan was about to explain.

Suddenly, a human-like and loud... burp echoed in his mind.

"Hiccup—"

[Ding! Forcibly devoured a high-order unknown matrix and 105 flawed subsystems.]

[Data overload! Excessive illegal energy intake! This system is a bit overloaded!]

[Warning! Due to indigestion, the system is about to enter deep hibernation and upgrade mode.]

[During hibernation, the host's passive skills such as Absolute Rationality Aura and Counter-Reconnaissance Radar will be temporarily disabled.]

[Please take care of yourself, host. See you after we've upgraded... Zzzzz...]

With a faint crackling sound, the ever-ready-to-use alert panel went completely dark.

Lu Jingyan clearly felt that the icy feeling that kept him absolutely calm in his body had disappeared.

Instead, there is the weariness and slightly faster heartbeat that belong to ordinary humans.

He reached out and pinched his throbbing temples, his lips twitching involuntarily.

This broken system usually devours positive energy like crazy, but now it's even having indigestion when it eats high-dimensional electronic waste?

"Team Leader Lu, are you alright? Why did that unusual magnetic field suddenly disappear?"

Qin Mingyue walked over in high heels, staring suspiciously at the broken glass on the ground.

Lu Jingyan lowered his hand and took a deep breath of the air, which carried a hint of everyday life.

"It's okay, I confiscated it physically as illegal or contraband."

He didn't explain much about the system's existence; he simply stated a result in a calm tone.

Zhao Tiezhu, however, keenly sensed the change in Lu Jingyan's aura.

Normally, when the boss stands there, he's like an emotionless iceberg of the rule of law.

But now, the boss actually seems to have a bit of humanity back?

"Boss, did you use up all your trump cards?"

Zhao Tiezhu nervously stepped forward, his face full of worry and frustration.

"Without that ability to subdue gods, what if that higher-dimensional controller really sends assassins?"

"My Gatling gun is powerful, but it can't stop those monsters that can turn invisible and teleport!"

Listening to Zhao Tiezhu's rambling, Lu Jingyan let out a mocking chuckle.

He slowly and deliberately pulled the most ordinary nine-millimeter police pistol from the holster on the outside of his thigh.

"Click".

The crisp sound of a bullet being chambered was particularly pleasant in the quiet command center.

Lu Jingyan held the gun in one hand, the black muzzle pointing steadily forward.

His deep eyes still held that sharp and arrogant edge that chilled all criminals to the bone.

"Tiezhu, you may have misunderstood something."

"I was able to send all the cultivators and dragon kings in this city to prison, and that was never because of some bullshit system halo."

Lu Jingyan carefully put the pistol back into its holster and straightened the collar of his crisp police uniform.

"My confidence comes from the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China behind me and the gun in my hand."

"As long as I'm still a mortal, a bullet to the head will kill me. Even without the system, I am still a law enforcement officer in Jinghai City."

This hardcore physical declaration instantly dispelled the last vestiges of panic in the command center.

But what Lu Jingyan didn't know was...

Because of the forced hibernation of the Police God System, the "anti-reconnaissance shielding aura" that had always enveloped him completely disappeared.

His unparalleled luck and extremely dazzling host coordinates were like a multi-million watt searchlight in the dark night.

They were instantly exposed to some special radar hidden in the dark.

At this moment.

Inside a private room at a highly private, top-tier luxury club in downtown Jinghai.

A dozen or so beautiful women, wearing exquisite and alluring makeup and haute couture evening gowns, were gathered together.

Some of them are fake heiresses of listed companies, while others are escorts who frequent high-end social circles.

Without exception, they were all lucky escapees who were not caught by the seizure team.

Moreover, they are all bound to the same type of special system.

"Perfect Heartthrob System", "Conquer the Cold and Aloof Male God System", "Green Tea Playboy System"...

Suddenly, a sharp explosion rang in the minds of these dozen or so women at the same time!

"Beep! Alarm! Alarm!"

"The coordinates of the ultimate SSS-level chosen one of destiny in this dimension have been detected!"

"Target: Lu Jingyan! Currently not protected by any higher-dimensional aura!"

The private room fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, all the women's eyes flashed with a greedy, green light, like those of hungry wolves.

A glamorous woman in a red halter dress suddenly stood up, crushing the wine glass in her hand.

"Oh my god! The system notification says that as long as I can successfully win over this man named Lu Jingyan and make him fall for me even for a second!"

"You'll receive a reward of 100 million points and be completely immune to all legal sanctions in this world!"

Another woman, dressed in a white dress and looking pitiful, was also trembling with excitement.

"He's the living Yama, the one who even captured the Lord of the Asura Palace to work on a sewing machine!"

"If we can take him down, wouldn't we sisters be able to do whatever we want in Jinghai City?"

A dozen or so women who were originally fighting each other over resources from the rich second generation.

When faced with this ultimate prey that could elevate them to the top, they surprisingly reached a consensus.

The woman in the red dress picked up the wine glass on the table, her eyes filled with a determined fervor.

"Sisters, we definitely can't beat this living devil in a head-on fight."

"But the most lethal weapon against men is always our gentle embrace."

"I propose that we establish a 'Strategy for Lu Jingyan Mutual Aid Group' starting now."

"Let's take turns trying; I refuse to believe this iron tree won't bloom!"
