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

Back in reality.

Pu Guan couldn’t wait to dial the White Ridge 749 Bureau’s crime reporting hotline.

After two rings.

A sweet female voice came from the other end.

[White Ridge 749 Crime Reporting Center, hello, are you reporting a crime?]

At the very beginning, the operators were all men, each one big and burly, and they’d answer with a gruff, ”Hey!?”

As if everyone owed them money.

Not professional at all.

Later, Fu Xinghe spent a high salary to hire some female operators, who went through training before starting their posts.

It has to be said, ever since switching to female operators, the number of crime reports received by White Ridge 749 has increased.Pu Guan spoke up, ”I want to report a crime. I’m looking for Grand Duke Lu.”

He wasn’t stupid; some things couldn’t be told to just anyone.

But Pu Guan regretted saying it as soon as the words left his mouth.

If just anyone could reach Lu Ding through the White Ridge crime reporting hotline, then Lu Ding would be far too busy every single day.

At this moment, he even mentally prepared himself to be rejected.

Yet unexpectedly, the other side said.

[Okay, may I ask, do you know Grand Duke Lu? Or is this regarding some urgent case?]

[If you’re looking for Grand Duke Lu, we can only transfer your call if it’s an urgent case or if you’ve had previous contact with Grand Duke Lu. Otherwise, we can only dispatch other investigators. But rest assured, the professional capabilities of any investigator at White Ridge 749 are above the standard line.]

Hearing this.

Pu Guan hurriedly said, ”I know Grand Duke Lu. He saved me in the uninhabited zone before. Please tell him that information; he should remember who I am.”

[Okay, please hold on, I’ll transfer and notify for you.]

A mechanical voice followed.

[Please do not hang up........]

On the other side.

After Lu Ding returned to reality, he was just about to head to the Mouth of the Evil Prison to deal with that Wuwang member who dared to provoke him in the Nowhere Room.

Suddenly.

A call came into the office.

He raised his hand and answered.

”Hello.”

[Grand Duke Lu, someone is reporting a crime and asking for you. He says you saved him in the uninhabited zone before. Should I connect him?]

Uninhabited zone.......

Lu Ding instantly remembered.

Could it be that monster with the ID and residence permit?

What business could it have looking for him?

”Connect him.”

Lu Ding said.

Soon, with a series of beeps from the other end of the line.

Until a voice came through.

[Hello, Grand... Duke Lu?]

From the voice, one could tell that Pu Guan, at this moment, was restraining both nervousness and excitement.

”This is Lu Ding. What do you need from me, Pu Guan?”

Although the other party hadn’t introduced themselves.

Lu Ding had remembered its name when it showed its ID last time.

Pu Guan hadn’t expected Lu Ding to actually know its name.

It immediately felt very excited.

But it didn’t stray from the topic.

Instead, it said first.

[Grand Guardian, I have important news to tell you. I’ve joined Wuwang now, the Western branch of Wuwang. Today, when I was in the Nowhere Room..........]

On the other end of the phone, Pu Guan recounted the intelligence it had heard in the Nowhere Room.

The more Lu Ding listened, the more silent he became.

So... the one who provoked me was you........

Lu Ding was truly exasperated!!!

And judging by the current situation, this Pu Guan was clearly on his side.

Looks like he wouldn’t be going to the Three Reefs at Sea after all.

Finally.

Pu Guan said, ”Grand Guardian, that Wuwang demon who saved people from you last time, I’ve arranged to meet him at the Three Reefs at Sea. Bring more people tonight and just capture him!”

Lu Ding: ........

Capture? How do I capture him? Bring people to capture myself?

Isn’t that ridiculous?

”Leave him be for now. He’s just a petty clown. If he really had the means, why wouldn’t he dare to face me directly, instead hiding in the shadows? He might have some skill, but that’s about it.”

”Besides, we can’t move against him now. If we do, your position within Wuwang might become difficult.”

”You just endure him for now.”

”However, Wuwang is still too dangerous. I suggest you leave. That place isn’t suitable for you to stay.”

Grand Duke Lu!

This was the Corpse-Shattering Taishui, Lu Ding.

He actually cares about me!!?

Pu Guan couldn’t hide the emotion in its heart.

”It’s fine, Grand Duke Lu. I’ve joined Wuwang now, using their information for your business, using their resources to improve my own cultivation. It’s good. I’ll be careful about safety. If anything happens, I can notify you. I can be considered your inside man. I just don’t know if I could have a way to contact you.”

Since it didn’t want to leave.

That could work too.

The 749 Bureau had too much going on next, and Lu Ding couldn’t keep an eye on Wuwang at all times. Even if 749 had nothing going on, he couldn’t be constantly watching either; it didn’t fit his persona.

Having Pu Guan inside would be more convenient.

”Alright, I’ll give you a contact method. Write it down.”

After Pu Guan noted down Lu Ding’s contact information.

The two hung up.

Lu Ding extinguished his intention to go to the Three Reefs at Sea at the Mouth of the Evil Prison.

Instead, he called for Fu Xinghe.

He handed over the intelligence he had gathered in the Nowhere Room and instructed him to send people out to investigate where the personnel from these forces that had entered his territory were located.

Since Pu Guan was on his side, then you lot certainly couldn’t be on his side, right?

Tonight.

Lu Ding was going to unleash a bloody slaughter!!!

What kind of lowly scum dares to boast about dealing with him!

First, weigh how many pounds you’re worth, then chop you into how many pieces.

On the other side.

After hurriedly notifying the others, Yuwen Longyuan rushed to the Three Reefs at Sea at the Mouth of the Evil Prison.

He only had two usable subordinates under him now.

He really didn’t want to see anything happen to either of them.

Especially from infighting.

But when he arrived at the location.

There was only seawater crashing against the reefs.

Forget people.

There wasn’t even a ghostly shadow.

Yuwen Longyuan looked somewhat bewildered at the Three Reefs at Sea, which showed no trace of battle.

”Where are the people??”

”Seriously........”

”I, the mediator, have arrived, but you, the fighters, haven’t?”

”Are you messing with me!!!”

He had been stood up.

Yuwen Longyuan was speechless, helpless.

But also happy.

At least the two had really given him face.

They just ’let it go’.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Longyuan still felt a bit proud.

”It seems I still have some face. Good, good.”

He turned and strolled away.

The moon climbed the treetops.

The new city never slept.

The chaotic sky was replaced by stars and a full moon.

Fu Xinghe rushed back to the office with the documents.

His first words upon pushing open the door.

”Brother Lu, we’ve found them. They’re mostly in the Lady’s Temple area. They’re quite clever, knowing that the Path of Dry Bones and White Ridge have already been cleared and unified by us, with many eyes watching, so they didn’t enter those two places.”

”Instead, they chose the Lady’s Temple area, from where they can later spread their layout towards Asura Street and the Mouth of the Evil Prison.”

”But they never imagined that those investigators we brought back from Hanjing are each incredibly capable. After all, they come from the big city. Apart from the Divine Sword Sect, Feihuang Group, and Child Association that infiltrated from the east being difficult to pinpoint,”

”The Wuliang Temple, Giant Wave Group, and Star-Plucking Tower that infiltrated from the south,”

”And the Songyuan Valley and Tianjin Zhai that infiltrated from the north, we’ve basically locked down their locations and personnel.”
