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

......

Then, Yan Feifan called Zhan Tingzhou over.

The moment they met, everyone knew in their hearts—don't ask what you shouldn't, leave professional matters to the professionals.

Lu Ding was responsible for asking questions and carrying out the execution.

He was just like a coal boss.

"How are we doing this? Where do we start?"

After proposing this plan, Zhan Tingzhou had already figured out the next steps.

He still pulled out his phone and opened the map.

He opened his mouth and said: "Overcast Mountain is fierce, Raise Phoenix Mountain is dangerous, and Black Phoenix Gathering—that place is both fierce and dangerous."

"It's clearly guarded by a host of demons."

"If we want to get in, find evidence, and catch them red-handed, there's only one way."

Which was the same path Huangfu Lingyun had taken in his past life.

"Find a few cultivators with low cultivation and unfamiliar faces, send them in as bait to deliberately break the rules at Black Phoenix Gathering, provoke the management to come out and suppress them, and then use that as an excuse for the 749 to enter Black Phoenix Gathering openly."

"Search directly! Deliberately piss them off."

"Through my enemy-avoidance secret technique, the closer we get to an enemy infused with the technique, the stronger the warning gets. We reverse the operation to prevent others from detecting our tracking spells."

Gotta say, this kind of secret technique was indeed infuriating.

Tracking spells could be detected because the person under the spell carried a trigger.

It was like a signal transmitter, allowing the pursuer to determine the location.

This could be detected using spells or secret techniques with the same wave frequency.

But Zhan Tingzhou's reverse approach was hard to detect. What normal person would think of using anti-tracking to actually track?

The principle was this: Zhan Tingzhou, who cast the spell, acted as a signal transmitter. When his signal was sent out and encountered someone who had the other half of the spell planted on them, the signal would bounce back, thereby determining their position.

This was vastly different from using bait as the signal transmitter.

It was a purely infuriating method.

Earlier, when Lu Ding killed the Rat Demon and caught Chen Yan underground, Zhan Tingzhou's technique had done great work.

Even now, it was still one of the meta-breaking strategies.

A reincarnator who had lived long in their past life was truly different.

In his past life, this kid had been hunted relentlessly by enemies. Indeed, suffering wasn't just the breeding ground for literature—it was also the petri dish for genius.

But Zhan Tingzhou hadn't finished speaking.

"But this method has risks. If the bait isn't taken to a key location for human experiments but is instead killed outright, we'll not only waste lives but also fail the mission."

In his past life.

Huangfu Lingyun had used a similar method, though it wasn't as infuriating as Zhan Tingzhou's.

But his moral bottom line was far lower than the current Zhan Tingzhou's.

Of course, this was also because Zhan Tingzhou was close to Lu Ding. Otherwise, he'd be even more ruthless, more extreme, stopping at nothing.

He was also the kind of person who, if he hadn't joined the 749, would have become a menace to society.

But this problem wasn't a problem for Lu Ding.

"That's not a big issue. Can't I just go myself? Show weakness to the enemy. Even if I'm exposed, they can't beat me, and they definitely can't kill me."

"Doesn't that perfectly solve the problem of the plan not being perfect?"

Zhan Tingzhou looked at Lu Ding with some helplessness: "You really can't do it. Don't underestimate the demons' and monsters' talent for detection and their cunning. After all, most of them are animals that became spirits."

"And compared to humans, animals are inherently much more sensitive to danger. If you go... without doing anything, just standing there, your habits, your expressions, your posture—they'll immediately alert them."

"Besides, we need to obtain evidence. We can't..."

Zhan Tingzhou didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood. They were afraid that Lu Ding would once again be lawful, reasonable, but not compliant.

Although entrapment was already non-compliant.

And they were working backward from a result that lacked substantial evidence.

After all, Lu Ding was also a public official and couldn't afford to be too reckless.

Lu Ding understood what he meant—Zhan Tingzhou already had a suitable candidate in mind, didn't he?

"Just say it directly. Who do you want to send?"

Zhan Tingzhou didn't hesitate: "Huangfu Lingyun and Bai Hemen."

"They have unfamiliar faces and low cultivation, perfectly meeting the conditions. Plus, Bai Hemen is half-human, half-corpse, naturally approachable."

Of course, there was something more important that Zhan Tingzhou didn't say.

In their past lives, those two were completely like cockroaches that couldn't be killed. No matter who else had an accident, those two never would.

It sounded very reasonable.

But this was Zhan Tingzhou's habitual judgment. What if something went wrong?

In contrast, Lu Ding's aura slowly leaked out: "So, that's why you had me bring them here?"

As he said this, Lu Ding unconsciously narrowed his eyes.

He had never been an indecisive person.

Zhan Tingzhou was a friend, yes, but Huangfu Lingyun was also a friend, and Bai Hemen was even more of a brother!!!

Don't give him that crap about feelings having no order of arrival.

Lu Ding cherished the past and never forgot his roots.

If Zhan Tingzhou had called them here with that purpose, then today, he was going to have a serious talk with Zhan Tingzhou.

Plotting against his own people?! Did he think he was dead!?

Zhan Tingzhou knew Lu Ding was strong, but having never been Lu Ding's enemy, he didn't know that Lu Ding was this strong.

In just an instant.

The leaked aura made Zhan Tingzhou's heart unable to suppress the fear born from physiological instinct.

Just standing there, Lu Ding was the epitome of pressure.

Zhan Tingzhou, forcibly suppressing his fear, spoke: "No, it's just that those two are suitable right now."

Lu Ding dispersed his aura. Hearing the answer, he chose to believe and dared to admit his fault: "I'm sorry. I got agitated just now."

The inexplicable pressure on Zhan Tingzhou suddenly eased. He shook his head: "It's fine. If someone else had proposed this plan today, and the executor they named was me, what would you have done?"

Lu Ding answered seriously: "I don't like comparing any relationships. Whether it's family or friendship, as long as I acknowledge it, I will protect it."

Zhan Tingzhou smiled under his mask.

Satisfied. Comforted.

A Lu Ding like this was indeed his true friend!

Between friends, how could there be no conflicts? Even teeth and tongues bumped into each other.

But they were all buddies—no need for sentimentality. One sentence was enough.

Solved!

Zhan Tingzhou continued: "Then there's only one way left. Get a few bandits, demonic cultivators, escaped convicts, or members of Wuwang. I'll forcibly brainwash them and throw them into Black Phoenix Gathering. If one isn't enough, use two. If two aren't enough, use ten, a hundred, a thousand!! Eventually, some will be taken to the Black Phoenix Gathering lab. Use lives to stack the numbers, increase the base, raise the probability—there will always be success."

"But it's best if they're Wuwang members."

"If that's the case, I might also need to adapt and conduct an open and forceful search."

Damn ruthless!

He was truly on the same wavelength as Lu Ding.

Of course, there was also a downside: these captured people, after being brainwashed, might not be able to adapt flexibly.
