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

Director Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in despair.

He slammed the urgent report onto Lu Jingyan's desk, his voice trembling with urgency.

"Xiao Lu! Stop drinking coffee! This is a real problem!"

Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow and put down his coffee cup: "What? Have aliens attacked Jinghai City again?"

"More troublesome than aliens!"

Director Chen pointed to the data in the report and slapped his thigh in anger.

"Our special prison, located 90 meters underground, was originally designed to have a maximum capacity of only 500 people."

"It was designed to detain extremely dangerous individuals possessing supernatural powers!"

"But what about now? Over three thousand former main characters have been crammed into the bottom!"

"The detention center is completely full! Even the bathrooms are packed with top-tier soldiers and powerful figures!"

Director Chen was so worried that he was about to lose all his bald patches.

"If they keep arresting them like this, we'll have no choice but to make them pitch tents on the playground!"

Lu Jingyan picked up the cup of black coffee that he hadn't finished drinking yet.

His deep gaze slowly fell on the urgent report, showing no anxiety but rather composure.

"Setting up tents is too easy for them; it doesn't fit the tone of our special investigation team's crackdown on crime."

Lu Jingyan reached out and typed a few times on the keyboard.

The screen on the main office monitor instantly switched to the live feed of a special prison 90 meters underground.

The moment the screen lit up, even the well-informed Director Chen couldn't help but gasp.

This scene is even more crowded and surreal than a train station during the Spring Festival travel rush.

The originally spacious four-person standard room was crammed with more than a dozen iron-framed bunk beds.

The aisle was so narrow that it was difficult to even turn sideways.

Those top-tier tycoons who once dominated the online novel world and casually showered people with hundreds of millions of yuan.

Those so-called Asura War Gods who could command 100,000 soldiers to return at a single command.

At this moment, they were all wearing the same blue and white striped labor reform uniforms, crammed together like sardines in a can.

The most outrageous footage is from the surveillance camera inside cell number 404, a heavy-duty prison cell.

Gu Yanchen, the arrogant and domineering CEO who once dominated the business world of Jinghai City.

And Ye Fan, the Asura Dragon King, who had just been captured.

These two once-invincible rivals were surprisingly assigned to the same bunk bed.

At this moment, they were wrestling together in a disheveled state.

Without the system's intelligence-reducing aura, and without the protection of true qi, there was no longer any protection.

These two ruthless individuals have completely degenerated into petty thugs engaging in street brawls, resorting to ugly, haphazard punches.

"You fucking let go! I got this toilet-cleaning spot first!"

Gu Yanchen gripped a toilet brush stained with some unknown dirt tightly.

His face, which was as perfect as an ancient Greek sculpture, was scratched by Ye Fan, leaving three bloody marks.

"Bullshit!"

Ye Fan, showing no sign of weakness, grabbed Gu Yanchen's meticulously styled, domineering short hair.

His eyes gleamed with a green light that seemed to have gone completely mad in his desire for a reduced sentence.

"I've been married into the Su family for three years, and I've been cleaning the toilets every day! I'm way more professional at cleaning toilets than you are!"

Gu Yanchen winced in pain and kicked Ye Fan in the shin.

"The warden said! Whoever cleans the toilet the cleanest tonight will get a commendation in their record tomorrow!"

"I want my sentence reduced! I absolutely cannot spend my whole life shuffling a sewing machine in this godforsaken place! Get out of my way!"

The two men rolled around in the narrow aisle, utterly devoid of dignity, all for the right to clean the toilet.

You pulled my hair, I picked your nose, and we fought so fiercely that it was impossible to tell who was better.

Several soldiers who had lost their superpowers and a clapping doctor were standing around, clapping and cheering enthusiastically.

As Lu Jingyan watched the epic brawl on the screen, the mockery in his eyes grew even stronger.

"See that, Director Chen? This is what it means to be exposed when you lose your privileges."

Lu Jingyan picked up his coffee and took a sip, his tone revealing extreme coldness and rationality.

"Once we take away their cheat codes that allow them to gain benefits without working for them."

"They are more humble than anyone else when it comes to survival."

"Even a spot to clean toilets has to be fought over by pulling each other's hair."

Director Chen wiped away his cold sweat and nodded repeatedly, but his face was still full of worry as he looked at the crowded scene.

"It's really satisfying, but the lack of physical space is a real headache!"

"We can't really let them fight to the death over toilets every day, can we?"

Not enough space? Then dig deeper.

Without hesitation, Lu Jingyan opened the drawer and took out a blank top-secret application form.

He picked up the black pen on the table and drew a downward arrow on the document with an air of authority.

"I am preparing to apply to the provincial department for a special approval of 1 billion yuan for explosion-proof construction funds."

Lu Jingyan's eyes were extremely cold.

"Since ninety meters underground can't contain their inflated desires."

"Then expand the prison to 150 meters underground!"

Lu Jingyan swiftly signed his arrogant name on the application report.

"This is called the Special Investigation Team's third phase of the 'Purification Project'."

"It is made entirely of the highest-grade nuclear-proof titanium alloy material, so that not even a fly can get out."

"I want to make these parasites who attempt to subvert the rule of law memorize the Criminal Law backwards in this abyss."

Director Chen clapped his hands excitedly as he looked at the imposing expansion report.

"Great! I'll go to the provincial capital myself right away to ask for the money!"

"Even if it means selling everything we own, we must lock these scourges up completely!"

Just as Director Chen was excitedly leaving the office with the report...

A series of brisk footsteps came from outside the office door.

Qin Mingyue took off her white coat, which smelled strongly of disinfectant, and put on a black trench coat before walking in.

She held a newly printed case closure receipt in her hand.

"Team Leader Lu, we just received the final report from the Chengdong District Police Station."

Qin Mingyue pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, a rare hint of relaxation appearing in her usually cool eyes.

"The last fugitive system host on the wanted list has just been apprehended."

"Because the system crashed, he couldn't even hack into a regular webpage. The network administrator mistook him for someone trying to skip out on their bill and called the police, who then pressed him on the keyboard."

Upon hearing this news, a look of complete relief finally flashed in Lu Jingyan's deep eyes.

This is a multi-month-long war of invasion from a high-dimensional plane, a war that blends magic and reality.

Finally, under the absolute physical crushing force of modern rule of law, it came to a perfect end.

There are no longer those high and mighty system controllers who treat ordinary people like ants.

There are no more fake protagonists who rely on cheats to act recklessly.

This city of Jinghai, which has experienced countless upheavals, has finally returned to its original, most simple and pure human touch.

Evil cannot prevail over good; without systems, there would be no thieves in the world.

"It's finally over. Thank you everyone for your hard work."

Lu Jingyan rarely showed a gentle smile.

He picked up the black tactical jacket draped over the back of the chair, exuding an unprecedented sense of ease.

"Notify all members of the special investigation team to immediately conclude all cleanup and cleanup work at hand."

Lu Jingyan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the endless stream of cars outside.

"Everyone's been working non-stop these past few months, and even Tiezhu has lost a lot of weight."

"I have granted special permission in my capacity as the team leader to give the entire group a week of paid leave."

"Tonight I'm treating, it's a seafood stall in Chengnan, everyone eat as much as you want."

A rare smile flickered across Qin Mingyue's icy face.

"You said it yourself, those wolves in the forensic department can really eat."

She nodded slightly, just about to turn around and go to the communications room to convey this exciting holiday notice.

At this very moment when one is most relaxed and on guard.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

Lu Jingyan's encrypted walkie-talkie, which was clipped to his tactical belt, suddenly emitted a piercing electrical interference sound.

This is definitely not a normal communication signal!

A piercing alarm suddenly blared from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Lu Jingyan's muscles tensed instantly, and the passive ability of the Codex of Absolute Rationality activated frantically under an extremely dangerous warning.

He grabbed the walkie-talkie and pressed the answer button, his voice as cold and hard as iron.

"This is Lu Jingyan. Please respond!"

There was a half-second silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Immediately following was Zhao Tiezhu's terrified, even distorted, scream.

"Boss! Something's happened at the cleanup site on the outskirts of the city!"

Lu Jingyan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Calm down and explain yourself!"

Zhao Tiezhu's voice was filled with undisguised sobs and despair.

"That hacker lunatic planted a physical acid bomb in his hideout beforehand!"

"Xiaoxiao rushed forward to cover her bomb disposal team members and civilians!"

"Boss! Xiaoxiao is bleeding a lot! Call an ambulance quickly!"

clack.

The black fountain pen in Lu Jingyan's hand slipped from his grasp without warning and crashed heavily to the floor.

Ink splattered, staining the smooth marble floor tiles black.

This moment.

This is the living Yama of Jinghai City, who remains unfazed even when facing a higher-dimensional creator god and always maintains absolute rationality.

This steely man believes only in law and order.

For the first time in my life.

I felt a suffocating, extreme panic, as if my heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand.
