The sound of faint footsteps floated into Wang Ran's ears.
"Finally someone was called."
Wang Ran came back to his senses from his thoughts.
He asked the county magistrate Liu Lu to seek help from his superiors. Apparently, Liu Lu had a very ordinary relationship with his superiors, otherwise it would not have taken three days for reinforcements to come.
If you think about it carefully, Liu Lu asked people to collect taxes for ten years, which was obviously his intention to make a quick buck and run away.
Since he was going to make a fortune and run away, there was naturally no need for him to have a good relationship with his superiors. He only needed to take care of the big tigers above him so that he could get a good job.
Wang Ran immediately understood Liu Lu's situation.
He gave a playful smile.
Liu Lu's ten-year tax collection has caused public resentment. If the money collected in the end cannot satisfy the big tiger's appetite and he cannot leave leisurely, he will probably be eaten alive by the local people and his immediate superiors.
No wonder the tax collector asked Old Man Chai to pay another cent of tax even though he knew he had already paid one cent.
I think Liu Lu put a lot of pressure on his subordinates.
In Wang Ran's thoughts, the footsteps were getting closer and closer until they were approaching the government office.
"Hello!"
Liu Lu's shouts were heard outside the government office.
Wang Ran flicked his fingers without even raising his head.
Whoosh—
A vermilion command arrow shot straight out, a heavy object fell to the ground, and then a panicked sound was heard.
Liu Lu, died.
Asking Liu Lu to find his superiors was to make a big fuss.
Mission accomplished, time to die.
The cause of death...
Hey, hey, hey, that's so disrespectful.
Wang Ran said slowly: "If you are not afraid of death, come in. If you are afraid of death, go back and ask for help. I will wait for you here for three days."
The noise is still not loud enough, make it louder.
Three days later
Whoosh—
A vermilion command arrow shot straight out, and a heavy object fell to the ground.
"kill!"
Soldiers in silver armor filed in.
Wang Ran hooked his fingers.
The blood-dripping arrow flew up from the mud and turned into a vermilion light, bouncing left and right in the government office.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The soldiers collapsed to the ground, with fear and astonishment on their faces.
Wang Ran raised his hand.
A man with a flag behind him flew in.
The man was trembling, and the flag behind him was swaying as if a cold wind was blowing.
I have seen the King of Hell!
Even if you are the eunuch in the palace, you can't kill people so lightly!
The wooden arrow pierces the iron helmet...
Is this something a human can do
Wang Ran stared at the man. This man was an official, and a higher official than the county magistrate Liu Lu, because the strange aura on him was stronger than that on Liu Lu.
The soldiers did not have this kind of aura.
Wang Ran murmured, "Interesting."
The lost convert to the evil god sounds like a brainless character, but the things he does are incomprehensible to him.
The strange aura did not seem to cause any harm to the officials' bodies. Instead, it gave them a special kind of mental deterrent. Ordinary people would probably be scared to death if they were yelled at.
Looks like a good thing.
But this strange smell made Wang Ran feel very uncomfortable. It must be something bad.
Wang Ran observed the man carefully.
He felt that the aura on the man was much more solid than that on Liu Lu. If it were more solid, something might happen.
We need to find a higher-ranking official.
"I'll let you go, and you go find me a higher-ranking official."
Wang Ran asked casually, "How?"
Whoosh—
The token was inserted directly into the stone slab in front of the man. Bright red blood beads slid down the texture on the token, scaring the man so much that he kowtowed repeatedly.
Wang Ran waved his hand: "Go quickly and come back soon."
The man stood up and ran away in a hurry.
Wang Ran slowly closed his eyes.
It would be much quicker for him to go on his own than to wait for someone to come to him, but he was tired and would rather sleep a little longer.
A few more days passed.
Boom boom
Outside the government office, there were dark clouds and dull thunder was rolling in the dark clouds.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh
Arrows doused in kerosene burst into dazzling flames in the air and poured into the government office as densely as water.
call!
The fire instantly set the wooden house on fire.
Tap tap tap
Teams of soldiers rushed in from all directions and surrounded the burning government office.
Boom boom
There was constant thunder, but not a drop of rain.
Under the gloomy sky, a ferocious fire engulfed the entire government office.
"God help me!"
Behind the soldiers, an old general wearing heavy armor and with white hair and beard was stroking his beard and laughing.
The country has only four administrative regions, each with a general and two deputy generals. This old general is one of the deputy generals.
The events in Chi'an County have reached the imperial court.
The emperor was furious.
The relationship between the imperial court and the underworld had been bad in recent years, and the incident in Chi'an County immediately became a fuse, with officials of all ranks demanding that the incident in Chi'an County be dealt with severely.
They believed that if Wang Ran could not be killed with thundering means and severe punishment was not imposed, the people in the martial arts world would no longer take the court seriously.
If Wang Ran cannot be punished, it won’t be long before gangsters from other places will attack and kill officials.
Once the precedent is opened, everything will flow in!
When the situation changes, it will be hard to say what the future will be like.
In fact, the ministers' idea was very good. If they could ruthlessly extinguish the spark that started the conflict, the rest of the fire would not start. But this spark was not something they could extinguish.
They chose the worst possible path.
The fire burned for a long time.
The soldiers surrounded the government office with full concentration. Once someone walked out of the government office, they would immediately be greeted by an overwhelming rain of arrows.
"Go in and take a look!"
The old general said to his personal guards.
"Be careful."
The old general warned cautiously: "That man is no small matter. The people in the palace may not have his means. A fire may not burn him to death. Let the ordinary soldiers go in front of you when you go in."
The guards nodded silently.
“Follow me!”
They each selected their troops and entered the government office from different directions.
And then he never came out again.
"Liu Meng!"
"How much more ambitious!"
"Zhao Ji!"
"… "
The soldiers shouted their names, but there was only dead silence and the lingering heat in the government office, without the slightest response.
The old general frowned.
He thought that if he could successfully set fire to the government office, the rest of the things would become easier.
But he thought things were simple.
The people inside killed the soldiers who entered the government office from multiple directions in an instant, leaving all the soldiers no time to call for help. He couldn't even figure out how the people inside did it.
He felt a little chilled.
At this moment, a huge suction force acted on him.
"Are you the highest official here?"
He heard a strange voice.
Although the words were inquiring, there was no hint of doubt in them, and the speaker seemed certain of his own judgment.
The old general asked in fear: "Who is it?"
He drew the sword from his waist and swung it with all his might. An invisible black gas flowed along the edge of his sword, instantly cutting off the invisible connection between him and the government office.
"Huh?"
Wang Ran was a little surprised.
He looked into the distance in the direction of the old general, his gaze seemed to penetrate through all the obstacles and fall directly on the old general's face.
"really."
"The higher the official position, the stronger the strange aura on the body, and it may even evolve into something."
Wang Ran has no means to control objects.
The force he used to pull the old general was completely brute force, relying on his high spiritual attribute to pull hard, but was immediately cut off by the strange aura from the old general.
But even if Wang Ran relied on brute force, it was incredible that the old general could cut off the pull of the gods' thoughts with his mortal body.
What facilitated this was the strange aura that lingered around the old general.
"The aura is so strong that it can exert considerable power on the spiritual level along with the host's movements." Wang Ran was amazed, "and it doesn't harm the body."
What on earth is this convert to evil doing
How about opening a charity
It doesn't quite fit the style of the evil god series...
Shouldn't a normal follower of an evil god try every possible means to destroy a world? Why is this follower of an evil god helping the humans in this world become stronger
Could it be that he has abandoned darkness and turned to light
Wang Ran felt completely baffled. Originally, he was not very interested in the evil god's convert, and he was even planning to train a group of the world's natives to eliminate this evil god's convert.
But now, this evil convert caught his attention.
He suddenly wanted to meet this convert to the evil god and ask him face to face what he was doing.
Wang Ran stood up slowly.
The last few arrows in the lottery box flew out and shot out with his footsteps.
"ah!"
"Well!"
"No!"
Short screams came one after another.
When Wang Ran walked out of the government office, there were a large number of corpses lying outside the office. Coincidentally, the rain was falling at this time.
Wow!
In an instant, heavy rain came pouring down.
Wang Ran walked up to the only survivor, Second General He Xuan.
He Xuan looked very sad.
When he saw Wang Ran, his eyes turned red and he swung his sword towards Wang Ran frantically.
Wang Ran stretched out two fingers and held the sword blade tightly.
He stared straight behind He Xuan, and just as He Xuan ran towards him angrily, the aura of He Xuan almost condensed into a figure.
Although it was blurry, it was indeed a human figure.
This figure seemed to be related to He Xuan's emotions. He Xuan gradually calmed down at this moment, and the figure behind him began to dissipate.
You have to maintain He Xuan's emotions.
Wang Ran said, "Among the soldiers who came in first, there was one who looked very similar to you. Is he your relative?"
"Doshi!"
Two words came out from between the old general's teeth.
His anger rose with these two words, and the figure behind him became much more solid.
Wang Ran took a deep breath and looked at the black figure behind the old general.
[Trampling the devil who is forbidden to read 18+], start!
[You have seen through the weakness of the power-hungry disaster]
Disaster caused by lust for power
There was a hint of doubt in Wang Ran's eyes. He thought that it sounded like a disaster, but how could a disaster have a human form
[① Fear of death]
[He had just survived a terrible war and did not want to experience any danger that might endanger his life in the short term]
[② Severely injured and near death]
[He is half dead, living on the little power spread by his believers, waiting for the power-hungry people to "resurrect" Him. At this moment, He cannot withstand any blow.]
[③Wanted by the Evil God]
[As one of the twelve most powerful upper evil gods, his desertion caused the evil gods to be defeated in a very important war, and he was therefore wanted by the other evil gods.]
Three weaknesses appeared in front of Wang Ran.
"The Higher Evil God?"
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Wang Ran's mind.
