Law Enforcement Team, although a police organization enforcing the law, is also composed of veterans who have fought in battles. They have encountered numerous crises and have never neglected their martial skills, making them a formidable force.
“Thud thud thud thud!!~~~”
The sound of synchronized footsteps echoed around, announcing their strict discipline.
“Ha!”
The Law Enforcement Team stopped ten meters in front of several individuals, collectively waving their rifles, producing a powerful whooshing sound.
In the distance, Fat Official hurriedly wiped his sweat as he ran over, panting heavily.
“Kid... don’t... don’t resist, just surrender quickly,” Fat Official gasped, speaking in broken sentences.
Struggling to catch his breath, he hurriedly patted his chest and took several deep breaths. Finally regaining his composure, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Kid! Difu Ke is not a place for you to act recklessly. Surrender now, and I might go easy on you to spare you some suffering. Otherwise, both you and the person you’re trying to save will face hardship.”
Ye Mingshang didn’t even glance at him, staring straight ahead. “What if I say no?”
Fat Official glared back. “Hey! Brat, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty! You’re causing trouble in Underworld, are you blind? Do you believe I’ll send all of you to Eighteen Layers of Hell and make you reincarnate as pigs?”
Ye Mingshang quickly turned his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
“Eh!!~~”
Fat Official was startled and hurriedly hid behind the Law Enforcement Team. With this ironclad force backing him up, he felt braver but was also embarrassed by his own fear. In a fit of rage, he shouted, “Capture them all! I want them all to become pigs!”
The Law Enforcement Captain appeared to be in his thirties, with stubble on his pale face. He looked quite handsome; rather than a soldier, he resembled a scholar or a contemporary idol star.
The captain cast a disdainful glance at Fat Official, expressing his contempt. “This matter of the Law Enforcement Team does not concern you.”
Fat Official dared not act arrogantly in front of him and quickly lowered his tone. “Yes, yes, yes! It was my oversight; please don’t take offense, Captain Deng.” However, he secretly cursed inwardly and vowed, “Just wait! When I find the opportunity, I will make sure to kill you.”
“Hmph!” The captain was particularly disgusted by these corrupt officials who did not do their jobs and were greedy for power. He snorted coldly in disdain.
However, despite his disdain, he still had to do what needed to be done. From a distance, he sensed that this young man in his twenties was not ordinary; he carried an aura similar to his own.
"Could he also be a soldier?" the captain thought to himself.
"Who are you to dare intrude into the Underworld and steal Hell's Criminal?" the captain shouted. Although he felt a sense of familiarity, he still had to fulfill his duty.
Ye Mingshang glanced at him lightly. "Who do you say is the criminal?"
The captain frowned. "Isn't the person you are carrying none other than the criminal Li Mingqi? Why ask when you already know?"
"A criminal? The old director has taken in over a hundred orphans in his lifetime, sacrificing his life for us children. Are you saying he is a criminal?" Ye Mingshang tilted his head. "If he is a bad person, then who is good?"
The captain frowned but remained silent. The Fat Official, however, was eager to speak up. "Justice will prevail! Li Mingqi deceived others and extorted huge sums of money; shouldn't he be severely punished?"
Ye Mingshang turned to look at him. "You pig, why are you everywhere? If you don't shut up, I'll cook you."
The Fat Official was startled by his fierce demeanor and retreated, no longer daring to speak.
The old director had saved Ye Mingshang's life and treated him like family. He was a taboo subject that could not be slandered by others.
The Law Enforcement Captain felt the fierce aura from earlier and confirmed his suspicions. This young man was indeed a soldier; that fierce energy could only come from years of military training and countless killings. It was not something just anyone could possess; it required surviving through bloodshed and death, accumulated over time.
However, the camaraderie shared among soldiers could not make him forget his responsibilities.
"Good and evil are determined by Lord Cui; it is not for a mere mortal to decide. Surrender peacefully, and perhaps Lord Cui will show leniency."
Ye Mingshang looked at him calmly. "Is there only one judge in the Underworld, Cui Fuyun?"
"China is vast and rich; naturally, one judge cannot oversee everything. Besides Lord Cui, there are nine subordinate judges," Captain Deng replied.
"Only ten judges? Do you know how many people die in China every day?" Ye Mingshang asked.
Captain Deng frowned.
"Let me tell you, there are currently 1.4 billion people in Huaxia, and with those who have passed away due to natural causes, homicide, accidents, and various diseases, there are over twenty thousand deaths. With just ten officials, can they guarantee that they won't miss any of these deaths each day?"
Captain Deng frowned. "But this system has been in place since the existence of the Underworld, and it was expanded by Cui Daren a thousand years ago. There has never been any claim of inadequacy."
"That was a thousand years ago. How many people were there then? And how many are there now? In the past, during wars, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands could die in a single day. Could they handle all those cases in one day?"
"This..." The captain was at a loss for words.
"There are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day. If each official can handle one case every minute, they could only manage 1,440 cases in a day without rest. Not to mention whether they can actually finish a case in one minute; even if they could, how accurate would it be? Over time, could they ensure that every case is handled correctly?"
"And do all major and minor matters really require the ten officials to handle them personally?" Ye Mingshang narrowed his eyes.
Captain Deng was taken aback. "That's right; unless it's a major case, generally minor cases are handled by subordinate officials."
"Then can we guarantee that these subordinate officials will be fair? That they won't be biased or corrupt? Can we ensure that every matter is resolved clearly?!"
Ye Mingshang's points were well made and logically structured, making it difficult to refute. Indeed, Huaxia sees at least twenty thousand deaths daily, with some days averaging over thirty thousand. This does not account for significant disasters; during earthquakes, floods, or pandemics, the number of lives lost is even greater. Even if ten people died each time, it would be impossible to keep up with the workload. Thus, subordinates must handle simpler and less critical cases. However, with more people involved, can we ensure that everyone is as fair and strict as the judges? It's impossible.
As the number of people increases, there will inevitably be a mix of good and bad. Even if their intentions are noble at first, over time their hearts may change. Cui Furen is strict and impartial; she cannot even show favoritism to her superiors. But there is only one Cui Fuyun; not everyone can be like him.
(To be continued.)
