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

Lu Ding withdrew his hand and said to Fu Xinghe, ”Some matters need to be resolved this way.”

Just now.

When Lu Ding, who hadn’t spoken, saw the soldier guarding the city gate, it was as if he saw his former self when he was still an ordinary person.

He had just turned eighteen back then~

During the day, he was a delivery guy locked in a battle of wits with security guards.

At night, he was a security guard locked in a battle of wits with delivery guys.

Of course, it definitely wasn’t for real.

Everyone was just trying to survive. Within reasonable bounds, giving leeway was based on the premise that I would intervene, you understood the rules, you bore the consequences yourself, and I had fulfilled my duty.

It was all just life.

Having climbed out of the river himself, there was no need to make things difficult for those still in the water once he was ashore.Unless Lu Ding was displeased.

Otherwise.

He didn’t mind letting a little something slip through his fingers.

Fu Xinghe had once again learned something truly valuable.

There were some things he hadn’t experienced, so he didn’t understand, but now he seemed to grasp a bit.

Suddenly.

A fierce wind rose, and black smoke billowed.

Lu Ding’s aura erupted violently and surged forward, like a battering ram that could crush anything in its path.

He directly blasted through the city gate, shattering it into debris.

A rolling cloud of dust rushed into the street!!!

Lu Ding’s voice rang out.

”Clear the way, clear the area! Target, Laicheng County Office!!”

”Yes!!!”

The accompanying investigators with good sense immediately charged ahead, unleashing their auras without reservation.

Not a single one was weaker than Fourth Restriction cultivation.

After all, they were elite troops selected from Hanjing!

That combined aura, surging straight forward and pushing aside everything to the left and right, was unstoppable. It effortlessly cleared the central area of an entire street, allowing Lu Ding to lead the team forward unimpeded.

If this were in Great Han.

Doing something like this would probably result in countless complaints.

But here, this was Great Jing!!!

Although Lu Ding hadn’t explicitly stated it, his attitude throughout this journey had already conveyed one thing to everyone, summed up in four big characters.

Utterly Unrestrained!

His rules were the only rules!!

On the city wall, the officer in charge, the commanding general, trembled in fear.

His eyes kept darting over the investigators clearing the path.

He muttered incessantly under his breath.

”Fourth Restriction, Fifth Restriction, Fourth Restriction, Fifth Restriction, Fourth Restriction, Fourth Restriction........”

”Disaster, disaster......”

”Great Han is attacking......”

He instinctively wanted to send a warning, but under a sky dyed ink-black and a ceiling of rolling dark clouds, a true culprit hidden in the darkness, visible only in silhouette, turned its head back while pacing forward, casting a gaze that bloomed with bloody light.

The general guarding the gate could clearly see the circles of bizarre patterns within those eyes.

His sanity was being assaulted.

Black blood gushed from his seven orifices.

”Hahahaha disaster disaster, disaster has come!!!!!”

The man screamed as if gone mad, rotten fragments of internal organs spewing from his mouth.

Finally, he even leaped into the air, jumping down from the city tower.

Before he even hit the ground mid-air, he exploded with a bang, scattering pus, flesh, and chunks of meat across the sky.

Fu Xinghe took out the list given by Huang Dong and made a checkmark.

He said, ”Laicheng gate guard general, Shi Junfeng, elimination successful.”

Lu Ding withdrew his gaze from the city tower behind him.

The [Direct Gaze Eye] slowly dimmed.

”This is just the beginning.”

Meanwhile.

Great Jing, Laicheng County Office.

In the rear hall.

Fine wine and tea, music and dancing, light gauze fluttering, a fragrance wafted through, followed by the gauze brushing against faces.

On the seat of honor.

The envoy sent by Great Jing to receive them sat with an imposing, domineering posture.

Clad in official robes, he carried an air of intimidating authority without even trying.

His entourage sat beside him in order.

Someone spoke up, ”I truly never expected that Laicheng, this backwater place, would develop to its current scale.”

”It even seems to be on the verge of surpassing many prefectural cities.”

”Even the young ladies here are exceptionally fresh and lovely, hahahahahaha......”

The Laicheng County Magistrate offered an obsequious smile, ”I dare not accept such praise, I dare not. You esteemed officials have come from the royal capital, accustomed to truly grand scenes.”

”My Laicheng merely accidentally incorporated some of the minor technological tricks from Great Han’s new city, developed through crooked means, the town reeks of unorthodox energy, belonging to clever but frivolous tricks, unworthy of refined company.”

Few in Great Jing held favorable views of Great Han.

Although the Laicheng County Magistrate felt proud in his heart.

He dared not say it outright.

He could only continuously disparage Liangcheng, when in reality, this old fox was the one who stole the most goods, pilfered the most technology, and engaged in the most smuggling from next door!!

Others hid and concealed their actions.

He did it openly and brazenly.

He even seized goods along the way, a classic case of not only hogging the spoils but also smashing the pot.

If he weren’t afraid of triggering these officials, he would have brought out the projector he obtained from Liangcheng to show them.

But it was this somewhat disingenuous talk that finally brought a smile to the face of the Great Jing Special Envoy seated in the place of honor, who was responsible for receiving Lu Ding, Chou Zixiu.

He picked up his wine cup.

Took a shallow sip.

”Has the person sent to the Liangcheng 749 Bureau branch sent back any news?”

Hearing the question, the Laicheng County Magistrate hurriedly rose from his seat, came to the center, slapped his palms together in front of himself, and knelt on one knee.

”Reporting to Special Envoy, although the local magnates sent to Liangcheng have not yet sent back news.”

”Please rest assured, Envoy, they are consistently reliable in their work. They will absolutely ensure that Huang Dong cannot leave his door.”

Chou Zixiu, who had not removed his official hat, rubbed the emerald green thumb ring on his finger, ”Logically speaking, we’ve been here for quite a while. Lu Ding should have arrived by now.”

”Sir, please don’t worry. Whether he arrives or not does not affect our drinking and merrymaking. The rumors from Great Han speak of this Lu Ding as some peerless genius, some domineering figure. Although I personally believe most of it is exaggerated hearsay.”

”But true or false, no matter how impressive a genius from Great Han is, he is still from Great Han. He is about to enter our Great Jing. Today’s show of force must make him swallow his pride!!”

”If he’s a dragon, he must coil.”

As he spoke, the official who had come with Chou Zixiu poked at the jade plate in front of him with his chopsticks, ”If he’s a tiger, he must crouch!!”

”He’s just a Fifth Restriction cultivator. Our Lord Chou here has reached God Ascension!!”

Chou Zixiu stopped his hand movements and looked over, ”Hahahaha, well said!!”

”Keep the music playing, keep the dance going!!!”

BANG!!!

As his words fell.

The main doors crashed open, and a Laicheng yamen runner rushed in.

”Trouble, trouble, sir, there’s trouble!”

To avoid these officials blaming him for the interruption, he spoke without any pause:

”749 Bureau people have stormed into Laicheng. They are now heading towards the yamen.”

The Laicheng County Magistrate instantly stood up from his kneeling, bowing posture, ”What!?”

From the seat of honor, Chou Zixiu remained seated and asked the reporting yamen runner, ”Who is coming?”

”I... I don’t know them, they’re all unfamiliar faces, but the one leading them is wearing scholar-warrior sleeves and a very ornate, wide-swinging cloak.”

Once that iconic description of the attire came out.

Alright, no need to ask further.

Chou Zixiu finally stood up, ”Lu Ding......”

Then he cast an icy gaze toward the Laicheng County Magistrate, ”Didn’t you say they were consistently reliable in their work?”
