First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

”How do you have so many random things? Where did you get them?”

An Wuyang laughed heartily, quickly covering up: ”I’m still a Heavenly Perception member after all, I’ve read many books.”

”This secret technique was something I found in a book. It was originally used by the Jing Dynasty to train assassins for the Pestle Department.”

The Pestle Department wasn’t much different from the Imperial Guards.

Just not as famous.

But having both Imperial Guards’ secret techniques and Pestle Department’s methods...

This person seemed somewhat suspicious.

Lu Ding grew slightly wary.

Moreover, this [Heaven-Plundering Spirit] technique resembled the Immortal Venerable’s Blood Skull Gu too much.So Lu Ding even suspected whether this guy had returned from several hundred years in the future.

Cold winds blow through the Valley of Decline, the cicada sings as the youth returns.

If that were the case, then An Wuyang would be extremely dangerous...

After all, the Immortal Venerable’s character was known for being ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself.

Then he would need to bring 100% of his strength to match wits with An Wuyang.

But Lu Ding merely thought about it.

He never expected.

An Wuyang didn’t come from hundreds of years in the future.

But descended from over a hundred years in the past.

His sense of time was still stuck in the distant past.

”Then let’s do as you say, go find Kim Gyeong-joo directly and give her a DIY treatment.”

The conditions were suitable anyway.

Might as well get started immediately!

”Wait wait, there’s one more problem.”

”Huh?” Lu Ding looked at him.

An Wuyang said: ”Demon Possession requires a large number of demons to lay the foundation for the first time. They’re hard to find, it’ll take some time. Maybe we should gather them first before performing the procedure on her?”

Well now.

This just happened to be Lu Ding’s specialty.

During the Zhima Beasts incident at Cao Family Alley, the Tianli Sect members had brought Raw Rhinoceros Powder to lure demons and distract Lu Ding, planning to ambush Cao Family Alley while he was occupied.

But Lu Ding saw through their scheme in advance.

The Raw Rhinoceros Powder was confiscated by the Five Organs Society.

Those Tianli Sect members who went to spread the powder.

Were beaten beyond recognition by the Qi Refiners of Cao Family Alley.

They even used sticky rice with cold water as extra punishment.

Lu Ding knew all about this.

The Raw Rhinoceros Powder eventually ended up in his hands.

Lu Ding never had a chance to use it.

Until today!

With a wave of his hand, black mist swirled as a pale ghost hand handed him a porcelain bottle.

He placed it before An Wuyang: ”Will this meet our requirements?”

An Wuyang took it.

Opened and sniffed.

”Wow!!! Raw Rhinoceros Powder!! Rare stuff, though useless for cultivation. Extremely scarce and the production method is lost.”

”This was used during the Jing Dynasty together with Demon Possession. Where did you get this? How do you have it?”

Now it was An Wuyang’s turn to be stunned.

He recognized it but couldn’t make it himself.

As a prince, he could just order someone to bring it if needed.

Like how people recognize money but can’t print it themselves.

Now.

An Wuyang looked at Lu Ding with suspicion.

Could it be... he also had inseparable connections to the Jing Dynasty?

Otherwise, how would he have Raw Rhinoceros Powder?

And of such high purity too.

Lu Ding smirked at him: ”Your Tianli Sect gave it to me of course.”

Casually mentioning how the Tianli Sect tried to spread the powder before.

An Wuyang: .........

Uncle!!! You’re really my dear uncle!!!

But at least.

This proved Lu Ding had no connection to the Jing Dynasty.

An Wuyang had genuinely scared himself with his own speculation just now.

He thought he might have gained a relative named Lu Ding.

If that were true.

They could just have Lu Ding restore the dynasty!

Let him be emperor while he plays prince - restoration without responsibility.

Perfect!

After scaring himself, came disappointment.

Ah... what a shame.

”If we have Raw Rhinoceros Powder... then it’s more than enough. I have Demon Possession and Heaven-Plundering Spirit, you have the Suppression Stele and this powder - together we’re unstoppable.”

”We can create a humanoid demon, a terrifying weapon.”

Lu Ding continued: ”Let Wei Gao’s people experience the horror of Eastern special arts.”

The two looked at each other again: ”HAHAHAHAHAHA.......”

Neither dared imagine how terrifying the result would be under such perfect conditions.

With An Wuyang personally performing the ritual as a Heavenly Perception member.

It would be absolutely legendary.

Of course these techniques only guaranteed the minimum, the ceiling still depended on Kim Gyeong-joo herself.

Lu Ding turned the car around: ”Let’s go find Kim Gyeong-joo!!!”

The engine roared to life.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Time: 11 PM.

Location: Wei Gao’s capital, Central District, Yanjiang Area, Stranger Apartment, Room 404.

In a tiny few-square-meter room with extremely simple furnishings.

On a damp bed.

Kim Gyeong-joo tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Remembering recent events, she rubbed her sore eyes, trying not to cry.

Her mother passed away early, leaving her alone in the countryside where she was often bullied.

Recently, an old bachelor almost broke into her home.

With no choice, Kim Gyeong-joo used studying as an excuse to move to Central District for a dormitory.

But got scammed by an agent instead.

She couldn’t go back.

Forced to rent a cheap, rundown motel room.

Penny wise, pound foolish.

After moving in, she realized all the neighbors were problematic.

There was a fierce tattooed uncle, a creepy guy in boxer shorts always lurking around, even a mentally ill person...

Just three days in.

Kim Gyeong-joo was nearly driven mad by the oppressive environment.

When it rains, it pours.

The surrounding area frequently had missing persons and murders.

Thinking of this, she rubbed her eyes again, sniffling.

”Mom, if only you were here... they all bully me without you, everyone bullies me......”

As the girl whispered.

Suddenly.

She heard faint rustling sounds.

Very soft.

But in the small, quiet room, unmistakable.

Instinctively looking around for the source.

After several glances, her eyes landed on the wall calendar.

Watching it sway slightly in the windless room.

Kim Gyeong-joo slowly approached, pressing her ear against it.

Hearing voices from behind:

”Fuck it, I could move this yesterday, why not today?”

Hearing this, she instinctively covered her mouth, crouching to peek between the calendar and wall.
