Chapter 245 The Disaster of Power Desire
A series of subtle footsteps floated into Wang Ran's ears.
"Finally someone is called."
Wang Ran came back to his senses from his thoughts.
He asked the county magistrate Liu Lu to seek help from the superior officials. Liu Lu's relationship with his superiors was obviously ordinary, otherwise it would not have taken three days to get reinforcements.
Thinking carefully, Liu Lu asked people to collect taxes for ten years, which was obviously a posture of making a quick buck and running away.
Since he was going to make a quick buck and run away, there was naturally no need to build a good relationship with his superiors. He only needed to take care of the big tigers above him and get himself a good job.
Wang Ran's eyes turned and he figured out Liu Lu's situation.
He showed a playful smile.
Liu Lu's ten-year tax collection has caused public resentment. If the money collected in the end does not satisfy the big tiger's appetite and he cannot leave leisurely, he will probably be eaten alive by the people here and his superiors.
No wonder the tax collectors asked Old Man Chai to pay another cent of tax even though they knew that Old Man Chai had paid one cent.
It seems that Liu Lu has put a lot of pressure on those below.
In Wang Ran's mind, the footsteps are getting closer and closer until they are approaching the government office.
"Hey!"
Liu Lu's shout came from outside the government office.
Wang Ran flicked his finger without raising his head.
Whoosh -
a vermilion arrow shot straight out, the heavy object fell to the ground, and then there was a panic sound.
Liu Lu, dead.
The reason why Liu Lu was asked to find his superiors was to make a big noise.
He should die after completing his mission.
What about the cause
of death? It'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, let's make more noise.
Three days later
, whoosh -
a vermilion arrow shot straight out, and the heavy object fell to the ground.
"Kill!"
Soldiers in silver armor rushed in.
Wang Ran hooked his finger.
The bloody 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 fell to the ground, with fear and surprise on their faces
. Wang Ran raised his hand and waved.
A man with a flag behind him flew in.
The man was trembling, and the flag behind him was swaying, as if there was a constant gust of cold wind.
It was like seeing King Yan!
Even the eunuch in the palace could not kill people so lightly! Is it possible for a human
to pierce an iron helmet with a wooden arrow ? Wang Ran stared at the man. The man was an official, and he was more senior than the county magistrate Liu Lu, because the strange aura on him was stronger than Liu Lu. The soldiers did not have this aura. Wang Ran murmured, "Interesting." The lost evil god convert sounded like a brainless character, but he did things that he could not understand. The strange aura did not seem to cause any harm to the officials' bodies, but instead gave them a special kind of spiritual shock. Ordinary people would probably be scared to death by their roar. It looks like a good thing. But this strange aura makes Wang Ran feel uncomfortable. It must not be a good thing. Wang Ran carefully observed the man. He felt that the aura on the man was much more condensed than that on Liu Lu. If it was more condensed, something would happen. He had 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 arrow went straight into the stone slab in front of the man, and the bright red blood beads slid down the pattern on the token, frightening the man to kowtow repeatedly. Wang Ran waved his hand: "Go quickly and come back quickly." The man stood up and ran away. Wang Ran slowly closed his eyes. It would be much faster for him to go on his own than to wait for someone to come to him, but he was very tired and would rather sleep a little longer. A few days passed. Boom, boom, boom. Outside the government office, dark clouds gathered, and dull thunder rolled in the dark clouds. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh . Arrows soaked in kerosene burst into dazzling flames in the air, and splashed into the government office as densely as water. Whoosh! The fire instantly ignited the wooden house. Tap, tap, tap, tap . Teams of soldiers rushed in from all directions and surrounded the burning government office. Boom, boom, thunder continued, but there was not a drop of rain. Under the gloomy sky, the raging fire engulfed the entire government office. "God help me!"
Behind the soldiers, an old general with white hair and heavy armor stroked his beard and laughed.
This country has only four administrative regions, each with a general and two deputy generals, and this old general is one of the deputy generals.
The matter of Chi'an County has been reported to the court.
The emperor was furious.
The relationship between the court and the underworld has been bad in recent years. The matter of Chi'an County immediately became a fuse, and officials of all ranks demanded that the matter of Chi'an County be dealt with severely.
They believed that if Wang Ran could not be executed with thundering means and severe punishment could not be imposed, the underworld people would no longer take the court seriously.
If Wang Ran could not be dealt with, it would not be long before the underworld people in other places would attack and kill officials.
Once the precedent is set, everything will follow!
When the situation is turbulent, it will be hard to predict what will happen in the future.
In fact, the ministers had a good idea. If they ruthlessly put out the spark that started the rebellion, the fire that followed would not burn. However, this spark was not something they could put out.
They chose the worst 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 face a rain of arrows.
"Go in and take a look!"
the old general said to his bodyguards.
"Be careful."
The old general warned cautiously, "That man is no trivial matter. The people in the palace may not have his means. A fire may not burn him to death. Let those ordinary soldiers go in front of you when you go in."
The bodyguards nodded silently.
"Follow me!"
They each counted their soldiers and entered the government office from different directions.
Then they never came out again.
"Liu Meng!"
"He Duozhi!"
"Zhao Ji!"
"..."
The soldiers shouted their names, but there was only dead silence and the heat wave that had not yet dissipated 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 next 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 think of how the people inside did it.
He was 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, as if the speaker was certain of his own judgment.
The old general was frightened and asked, "Who is it?"
He drew the sword from his waist and swung it with all his strength. An invisible black gas flowed along the edge of his sword, instantly cutting off the invisible ties between him and the government office.
"Huh?"
Wang Ran was a little surprised.
He looked in the direction of the old general, his eyes seemed to penetrate through many obstacles and fell directly on the old general's face.
"Sure enough."
"The higher the official position, the stronger the strange aura on the body, and it even evolved into something."
Wang Ran did not have the means to control objects.
He pulled the old general with pure brute force, relying on his high spiritual attribute to pull hard, but was cut off by the strange aura on the old general.
But even if Wang Ran relied on brute force, it was incredible that the old general could cut off the mind pull of the gods with his mortal body.
What made this happen was the strange aura that entangled the old general.
"The aura is so thick that it can exert a lot of power on the spiritual level with the host's actions." Wang Ran was surprised, "and it doesn't hurt the body."
What is this evil god convert doing?
Opening a charity?
This doesn't fit the style of the evil god.
Shouldn't a normal evil god convert try every means to destroy a world? Why is this evil god convert helping the humans in this world become stronger?
Is he turning from darkness to light?
Wang Ran was puzzled. He was not very interested in evil god converts and was planning to train a group of world natives to get rid of this evil god convert.
But now, this evil god convert has caught his attention.
He suddenly wanted to meet this evil god convert and ask him what he was doing in person.
Wang Ran stood up slowly.
The last few arrows in the lottery box flew out and shot out with his footsteps.
"Ah!"
"Uh!"
"No!"
Short screams came one after another.
When Wang Ran walked out of the government office, there were a lot of corpses lying outside the government office. Coincidentally, the rain also fell at this time.
Wow!
In an instant, the rain poured down.
Wang Ran walked to the only survivor, the second general He Xuan.
He Xuan had a sad face.
When he saw Wang Ran, his eyes were red, and he swung his sword wildly at Wang Ran.
Wang Ran stretched out two fingers and firmly clamped the sword tip.
He stared straight at the back of He Xuan, and just when He Xuan ran towards him angrily, the aura on He Xuan almost condensed into a figure.
Although it was hazy, it was indeed a 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.
He Xuan's emotions must be maintained.
Wang Ran said: "Among the soldiers who came in first, there was a man who looked very similar to you. Is he your relative?"
"Duozhi!"
Two words burst out from 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 Eighteen-Forbidden Devil], start!
[You have seen through the weakness of the power-hungry disaster]
Power-hungry disaster?
Wang Ran's eyes revealed a hint of doubt. He thought that it sounded like a disaster, but how could a disaster have a human form?
[① Afraid of death]
[He just survived a terrible war and didn't want to experience any danger that might endanger his life in the short term]
[② Severely injured and dying]
[He was half dead, living on the power of power spread by believers, waiting for the power-hungry people to "resurrect" Him. At this moment, He couldn't bear any blows]
[③ Wanted by the evil gods]
[As one of the twelve most powerful upper evil gods, His escape from the battlefield led to the evil gods' defeat in a very important war, so He was wanted by other evil gods]
Three weaknesses appeared in front of Wang Ran.
"A higher evil god?"
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Wang Ran's mind.
