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

"I don't want to."

These four words are like a sharp tactical dagger, instantly severing the invisible ties connecting heaven and earth.

The omniscient and omnipotent system in my mind seemed to have suffered a fatal logical short circuit. After emitting a sharp, piercing electrical buzzing sound, it fell into a long, deathly silence.

The golden clouds of merit that rolled across the sky lost the guidance of the will of Heaven. They were like giant bubbles that had been punctured, silently shattering and peeling away in the night wind.

That vast energy, enough to make one ascend to heaven in broad daylight and dominate the galaxy, overflowed wildly outward like receding tides.

The night sky revealed its original deep color once more. Sparse starlight pierced through gaps in the clouds, quietly scattering across the summit of Wanghai Peak.

Lu Jingyan slowly opened his eyes. He did not possess the otherworldly transcendence of someone who had ascended to immortality, nor did he have the divine radiance that looked down upon all living beings.

He was still wearing that black special forces uniform, stained with dust and gunpowder. His military tactical boots stood firmly on the rough gravel, and he could clearly feel the hardness and solidity beneath his feet.

This is the sensation of mortals. They feel cold, they feel tired, and they feel pressed firmly into this soil by the Earth's gravity.

But he felt that this flawed, flesh-and-blood body was ten thousand times more alluring than that ethereal divine throne.

[Severe logical inconsistency... Host relinquishes supreme divinity... Recalculating...]

Three full minutes passed before the system's signature mechanical voice echoed again deep within my mind.

This time, however, its cold voice surprisingly contained a hint of human incomprehension and sigh.

Why? By becoming the embodiment of the rules, you will be forever free from the torment of birth, aging, sickness, and death. You can use absolute reason to judge everything; no one can harm you anymore, and no one can threaten your team members.

Facing the slightly salty sea breeze, Lu Jingyan slowly took out a cigarette that was pressed and deformed from his pocket.

He gathered the flame to light it and took a deep breath. The pungent smoke swirled in his lungs before lazily being exhaled into the dark night sky.

"Absolute rationality?" Lu Jingyan's gaze passed over the cliff, quietly watching the bustling city of Jinghai below.

The lights of countless homes are like a dazzling galaxy, where the everyday necessities of life intertwine and the ordinary people's lives unfold.

"If humanity is abandoned, that's not a judgment, that's a massacre without any bottom line."

He flicked his cigarette ash, his tone as calm as if he were stating a simple truth.

"The original intention of the law is to protect the vulnerable and to allow these ordinary people with flesh and blood to live in peace."

"If rules supersede humanity and become cold, emotionless procedures, then that is utter tyranny."

Lu Jingyan, with a cigarette between his fingers, pointed to the myriad lights below the mountain, his deep black eyes brimming with pure determination.

"I don't want to be some kind of god who rules over all living beings and stands by indifferently. I'm only fit to be a policeman, standing on the ground to shield them from the bloodshed and violence of this world."

【…】

The system fell into a long silence. Its vast database, built on algorithms, was clearly incapable of deciphering these human emotions called "faith" and "responsibility."

A burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence on the mountaintop.

"Boss! You withdrew that aura way too quickly!"

Zhao Tiezhu strode over, carrying a walkie-talkie. Sweat beaded on his muscular face, and goosebumps rose on his thick arms in the night wind.

"I just got in touch with the hospital! Forensic doctor Qin said that Xiaoxiao is lucky; the shrapnel avoided her vital organs, and the surgery was a success! She's out of danger now and has been transferred to a regular ward!" Zhao Tiezhu grinned, looking like a two-hundred-pound idiot.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Jingyan's fingers, which were holding a cigarette, paused slightly.

The invisible boulder that had been pressing down on his heart finally shattered at that moment. He didn't even realize that his breathing had become lighter.

"understood."

Lu Jingyan stubbed out his cigarette and flicked the butt precisely into a trash can five meters away.

"Notify all members of the special investigation team to cancel their leave tonight and return to the bureau to work overtime and organize the case files. Xiaoxiao's medical expenses will be reimbursed through the work injury insurance. Order her a bowl of pigeon soup from a well-known restaurant in the south of the city to help her replenish her blood."

Zhao Tiezhu saluted excitedly, then turned and ran towards the bomb disposal vehicle, muttering to himself as he ran.

"The boss is so biased, it's unbelievable. When I was injured, all I got was plain rice porridge from the cafeteria."

Looking at Zhao Tiezhu's honest-looking back, Lu Jingyan shook his head, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

He opened the SUV door, just about to get into the driver's seat, when the system in his mind emitted one last peculiar buzz.

The voice was no longer a cold, impersonal prompt, but rather carried a sense of relief, like an old friend saying goodbye.

[The system has detected that the host has made up their mind. Respecting your free will, this system will automatically uninstall the dimensional ascension privileges and permanently close the Heavenly Dao interface.]

[But before it goes into complete slumber, the system reserves one last ultimate capture privilege for you.]

Lu Jingyan's hand on the steering wheel paused slightly, and he raised an eyebrow. "Last authorization for arrests? Weren't all the monsters and freaks in this city wiped out?"

[Most of them have indeed been completely destroyed by the electromagnetic pulse.] The system displayed a faint pale blue light screen, on which appeared an isolated point of light that was reddish-purple.

However, it was detected that one last special survivor remained in the current dimension.

Lu Jingyan's eyes sharpened instantly, like a lone wolf eyeing its prey. "Get the information on this slip-up. Hidden so well, looks like a tough nut to crack?"

[Target: Su Fan. Current Status: Extremely Dangerous.]

[Identity Determination: Neither a system user nor a transmigrator from another world. He is the ultimate deformed product born from the native soil of this small world—the Child of the Plane.]

"The chosen one of the planes?" Lu Jingyan sneered, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips. "What kind of new legal illiterate title is this? It sounds even more arrogant than those domineering CEOs."

[He possesses no supernatural magic, nor any visible system panel.] The system meticulously explained the terrifying nature of this escaped fugitive.

But he possessed absolute luck bestowed upon him by this world. He could find unclaimed gold bricks on the street, and win the lottery jackpot every time he bought a ticket. Even his enemies would inexplicably die in car accidents when they got close to him.

Lu Jingyan understood. Wasn't this the kind of protagonist who could win without effort, relying on divine favor and forcibly lowering the intelligence of those around him—a top-tier protagonist with incredible luck?

This kind of person is even more disgusting than those cheaters with cheat codes. Because their very existence is the ultimate trampling of social fairness and legal order.

"Making money through luck? Causing your enemy to die unexpectedly?" Lu Jingyan slammed on the gas pedal, and the armored SUV roared furiously.

The black steel behemoth shot towards Wanghai Peak like a bolt of lightning. His slender fingers tapped out a rhythmic, murderous beat on the steering wheel, while his deep black eyes burned with the light of absolute rationality and the rule of law.

"Since God won't teach his son, I'll teach him a lesson using the Criminal Law."

"Zhao Tiezhu, notify the Economic Crime Investigation Division. Come with me to meet this 'son of God'!"
