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

Looking at Lu Ding who remained completely unscathed.

Regarding this.

Zhan Tingzhou’s evaluation of Lu Ding could be summarized in just two words.

Brutal!!!

He could even kill a Fourth Restriction Rat Demon.

Just how high had his combat power reached in this lifetime!!!!!

Zhan Tingzhou snapped out of his daze for a moment and responded to the previous topic: ”Everything outside is progressing smoothly, but Fu Xinghe just sent a message saying he has some important information to notify you about.”

Important information?

Lu Ding activated his communication device, connecting to his private channel with Fu Xinghe, and asked.”Xinghe, this is Lu Ding.”

As soon as his voice sounded.

Fu Xinghe’s response immediately came from the other end.

”Brother Lu, while you were dealing with the Rat Demon earlier, my uncle called me saying he attended an execution meeting regarding Tai Island today.”

”During the meeting, he learned from the Tai Island side that back when you were in the Third Circle, it was actually a Tai Island higher-up from the Second Circle named Sasaki who sent his death squad to kill Kagu Yu.”

”It was also him who agreed to Dong Minglong and Su Hongyu’s request to use Tai Island’s passage to go to the Third Circle, but Kagu Yu vetoed it.”

As soon as Fu Xinghe mentioned this.

Lu Ding instantly recalled the death squad member he killed during the Third Circle National Campaign.

Although Lu Ding had never met this old man Kagu Yu.

This old man had firmly resisted the pressure from Dong Minglong and Su Hongyu back then, preventing them from using Tai Island’s passage to the Third Circle to cause trouble for him.

This counted as a favor, one that should be remembered.

Otherwise, given Lu Ding’s cultivation level at that time, if Dong Minglong and Su Hongyu had really come after him, it would have been quite troublesome.

Lu Ding’s expression remained unchanged, but contemplation grew in his eyes: ”Continue.”

Fu Xinghe’s voice continued: ”My uncle said that Sasaki, for violating the rule prohibiting interaction between the Second and Third Circles, received what’s called punishment but is actually a temporary demotion to lay low...”

He paused briefly, adding emphasis: ”He’s been assigned to the new city!!”

”To handle Tai Island’s affairs here in the new city.”

”My uncle also said that Tai Island’s influence here in the new city is quite limited, since everyone came up from the Third Circle, and we should... take extra care of them.”

Lu Ding understood.

Limited influence meant they weren’t strong enough.

”Take extra care” had two meanings: first, to make a more detailed assessment of this Sasaki character and Tai Island’s strength in the new city.

Ultimately, it was a subtle notification to Lu Ding: ’With your strength, you can handle it, but it won’t be particularly easy.’

The second meaning was: if you want to deal with them, go ahead, I’ve given you the opportunity, just be careful.

Lu Ding was someone who repaid favors.

Since Kagu Yu had resisted pressure on his behalf back then, which led to offending this Sasaki and ultimately getting killed.

Then this was a debt of vengeance that Lu Ding absolutely had to repay.

Without hesitation, he immediately asked: ”Time, location, do you have them?”

Since he had already decided to kill Sasaki, and with Sasaki coming to the new city being a key factor.

Lu Ding wouldn’t delay.

This wasn’t just about avenging Kagu Yu.

Lu Ding himself was thinking that once Sasaki arrived in the new city and heard his name, he might cause trouble.

After all, this person had originally agreed to help Dong Minglong and Su Hongyu sneak into the Third Circle.

Invisible though it may be, the two of them had enmity between them.

What if he caused trouble...

Lu Ding wouldn’t allow such uncertainties.

In novels and movies, wasn’t it common for protagonists to wait until their enemies made a move before acting?

Lu Ding wouldn’t permit such situations and uncertainties to occur.

He would directly eliminate potential threats before his enemies could even act.

If this Sasaki was coming by vehicle, Lu Ding would go directly to the station to meet him, reenacting the scene from when he picked up Dong Minglong.

Through wind and rain, waiting for you at the new city station.

Draw weapons the moment you step off the vehicle.

He could understand the meaning behind Secretary Qiu’s words, and of course Fu Xinghe could too.

He immediately said: ”Brother Lu, I just compared various records and data and found that Sasaki will arrive in the new city today.”

”The specific time is hard to determine.”

Knowing Lu Ding’s working style well, he added:

”Although we don’t know exactly when he’ll arrive, I speculate that Sasaki will likely go to the consulate in the Path of Dry Bones area after landing in the new city. We can head over there to find him after we finish up here.”

Hearing the words ”Path of Dry Bones.”

Lu Ding thought, wasn’t this a coincidence?

Coincidentally, the next place he planned to hit was exactly the Path of Dry Bones.

Sasaki was delivering himself right to his doorstep.

Killing two birds with one stone, solving two matters together.

Saving both effort and trouble, convenient and efficient.

Since I don’t know when you’ll arrive, then I’ll just wait until you’ve arrived to find you. The monk can run, but the temple can’t.

Wait for me!!!

”Alright, then we’ll go find him immediately after finishing up here.”

If possible, Lu Ding wanted to go right now.

But he was worried that if he left, the cleanup work here might not be handled properly, especially since the Rat Demon was a member of Wuwang.

If he left and Wuwang members showed up.

Wouldn’t that mean missing out?

Although Lu Ding’s gains today had already been quite substantial.

He still hadn’t triggered the Fourth Restriction phenomenon yet.

Slightly regrettable.

So he still wanted to try, after all, opportunities are something you have to fight for yourself.

Lu Ding raised his hand and summoned the Qi of the Ticket Wind, sweeping up the rubble on the ground to assemble and fuse into a several-tens-of-meters-long flagpole, firmly planting it in the ground.

Then he lifted the Rat Demon’s corpse and tossed it onto the top of the flagpole.

Squelch.

The Rat Demon’s headless corpse was now impaled on top of the flagpole.

Zhan Tingzhou looked up at the Rat Demon’s corpse dripping blood from the flagpole.

For a moment, his brain hadn’t processed it yet, so he asked: ”This is...”

Lu Ding was admiring his own handiwork, originally quite satisfied.

But with Zhan Tingzhou’s question.

He felt it might not be enough: ”Can’t you tell this is a provocation???”

He raised his hand and fired several Slash Attacks using the Way of the Jinche, cutting the Rat Demon’s corpse on the flagpole until it was mangled and bloody, a gruesome sight.

The blood flowing from the corpse had completely stained the pole red.......

Zhan Tingzhou’s eyelids twitched as he watched.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t tell, it was that he’d never even considered this possibility.

Because this was completely the behavior of demonic cultivators.

It didn’t match the identity of a 749 Bureau investigator at all.

What kind of 749 Bureau investigator would do something like this?

Only Lu Ding.

More sinister than evil cultivators, more cruel than demonic ones.

Lu Ding noticed his astonishment.

He casually swept the Qi of the Ticket Wind over some rubble, assembling it into an imposing Throne, sat down on it, pointed at the corpse on the flagpole, and casually remarked:

”To deal with these kinds of things, you have to use every means possible. If I had more than just this one, I could spell out words by impaling them separately.”

Raised his left hand: ”Use the heads over here to spell S.”

Raised his right hand: ”Use the bodies over here to spell B.”

Hearing this, Zhan Tingzhou felt for the first time that his own thinking was actually quite benevolent.

At most, he would destroy the corpse and eliminate evidence.

In contrast, Lu Ding went straight to corpse desecration.

749 Bureau really dared to recruit someone like him.

After collecting himself, Zhan Tingzhou said: ”Should I set up a few arrays???”

In this area, he was somewhat confident. While not exceptionally skilled, he was definitely competent enough.

”A few?”

Lu Ding waved his hand: ”No need.”

Initially, Zhan Tingzhou thought this was due to Lu Ding’s confidence in his own strength, and he wanted to advise Lu Ding to be cautious, since Wuwang members weren’t pushovers.

But then...

He saw black smoke billow as the Red Coffin opened wide.

From within, pale ghost hands delivered a set of high-powered 749 Bureau specially-made array flags.

Lu Ding took them and casually handed them to Zhan Tingzhou: ”The Zhao family needs people over there. Take these and go help them out.”
