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

...

Until late into the night.

They had chatted, visited the experimental base.

Figured out the interpersonal relationships.

And obtained crucial evidence.

Taking advantage of the nighttime rest period,

Yuwen Longyuan activated the Nowhere Room secret technique and summoned Lu Ding.

The two met inside.

They sat facing each other, and he recounted the specific situation in complete detail, holding nothing back from Lu Ding.

From beginning to end.

They chatted for two or three hours.

Finally wrapping things up.

"Roughly speaking, that’s the situation."

"In summary, the Baoji Kingdom right now can’t independently support such a high success rate for human-demon hybrids, nor can it maintain such high quality."

"The root of everything lies in this Su Yun."

"Based on my indirect probing and conversational tactics, this Su Yun seems to have appeared out of nowhere, even though he’s a local of Black Phoenix Gathering."

"But the him from before and the him now are completely different..."

"There are also similarities—he has absolutely no cultivation."

"However, the forces around him can’t be underestimated."

"Those old monsters are even terrifying enough to reach God Ascension."

Hearing this,

Lu Ding pondered and then spoke: "Alright, I’ll give you an email address. Send me all the videos and whatnot. After I get back and review them, I’ll make arrangements. For now, just keep an eye on him."

Yuwen Longyuan nodded: "Okay."

Without further words, they both exited Wuwang’s Nowhere Room.

Their consciousness returned to reality.

Lu Ding summoned Yan Feifan and Zhan Tingzhou, the plan’s originator.

The three of them opened a computer.

And began watching the recordings Yuwen Longyuan had sent.

They stayed up all night.

Watching everything through to the end.

When they saw the bloody and brutal scenes inside the so-called laboratory,

Lu Ding frowned, Zhan Tingzhou sighed, and Yan Feifan silently clenched his fists.

In contrast, the people in the video—whether Yuwen Longyuan, Su Yun, or Nishang—remained expressionless, as if it were all routine, summed up in three words: they were used to it.

In a world with supernatural power, this was just how things were.

But for Lu Ding and Yan Feifan, who had grown up as ordinary people before becoming Qi Refiners, their entire modern civilian upbringing had basically solidified their worldview before they ever became cultivators.

So seeing scenes like this—who wouldn’t get angry?

Still, it wasn’t enough to make them overly agitated.

After all, they were already mentally prepared.

Finally, the video finished playing and paused.

Lu Ding spoke: "Feifan, what do you think?"

Yan Feifan thought for a moment: "Brother Lu, I think this Su Yun has a huge problem."

Lu Ding nodded, signaling him to continue.

Zhan Tingzhou also looked over.

He had always heard Lu Ding talk about how impressive Yan Feifan was, but until now, he had never seen Yan Feifan’s true abilities. This time, he wanted to see if Yan Feifan was really as godly as Lu Ding claimed.

Yan Feifan continued: "From the compiled data sent over, combined with the population information I checked while watching the videos,"

"I’ve found that Su Yun is a citizen of Great Han—that’s certain."

"But based on Su Yun’s identity information, his usage records of that identity, and the data sent over, cross-referencing all three, Su Yun is a native born and raised in Black Phoenix Gathering."

"He’s never left the shadowy mountains, Raise Phoenix Mountain, or the Black Phoenix Gathering area."

"These areas are lacking and behind in technology and modernization compared to the outside world, and not just by a little."

"Yet his way of speaking, and the way he chatted with our contact here, Yuwen... Yuwen Longyuan—I saw in the video that Su Yun and Nishang called him that."

"The way he talks with Yuwen Longyuan is too modern."

"More importantly, when they got excited in their conversation, Brother Lu, did you notice Su Yun throwing out some trendy slang... and that slang absolutely doesn’t exist in the Second Circle!!"

"Because the entertainment content in the Second Circle and the Third Circle is different."

"And what Su Yun said only exists in the Third Circle. For example, that fleeting phrase 'Bao de'—that’s definitely a Third Circle thing."

Come to think of it, now that he mentioned it,

As soon as Yan Feifan pointed this out, Lu Ding instantly sensed something was off: "So what you’re saying is..."

A slight curve formed at the corner of Yan Feifan’s mouth: "From the records, Su Yun’s emergence and rise to prominence have only been in the last few years."

"Combined with his speech habits,"

"We make bold guesses and careful arguments—I think there are two possibilities. The first is that he sneaked up from the Third Circle, but that possibility isn’t great."

"He has no cultivation..."

At this, Zhan Tingzhou interjected: "What if he’s hiding it? After all, in that courtyard of his, there are some terrifying entities from Overcast Mountain and Raise Phoenix Mountain. If he truly had no cultivation, why would those beings be in his courtyard?"

Yan Feifan looked at him: "That’s one of your thinking errors."

"First of all, if he sneaked up from Great Han, the Dragon Wall exit of Great Han is heavily guarded, with an Inescapable Net and countless powerful figures. If he had the ability to slip through unnoticed under their watch, then with such skill, why would he hide in Black Phoenix Gathering?"

"This place, no matter how you look at it, doesn’t have many standout features. There are thousands upon thousands of places that can compare to or even surpass it."

"Even if it were for the sake of a safe distance, there are better choices."

"If he sneaked up from another country in the Third Circle, Black Phoenix Gathering’s distance is equally awkward—neither close nor far from other countries’ Dragon Wall entrances, and there are even farther options."

"Moreover, from his expressions, way of speaking, and mannerisms, he was once someone severely lacking in confidence, with few friends. Now he’s gained some confidence, but he’s still not fully confident—at least not in front of Yuwen Longyuan."

Zhan Tingzhou stared straight at Yan Feifan from behind his mask: "You can even tell that?!"

Yan Feifan chuckled: "Easy. Because before I met Brother Lu, I was exactly that kind of person. He and I are similar. His chattiness with Yuwen Longyuan is about the same as mine when I first got to know Brother Lu."

"Combining all this intel, plus his existing circumstances, I think the second possibility is the most likely!"

Lu Ding and Zhan Tingzhou asked almost simultaneously: "What possibility?"

Yan Feifan ticked off on his fingers: "Rebirth, reincarnation, transmigration... any of those special, extraordinary situations that don’t fit common sense."

"I’ll even go so far as to state outright: this guy is definitely from the Third Circle. No second option! And he’s definitely young!"

As these words landed, a cold sweat broke out on Zhan Tingzhou. At that moment, he felt a strange sense of standing there completely exposed.

Especially the instant Yan Feifan’s gaze turned to him—he felt as though he was seen through, inside and out.

His heart tightened.

He immediately decided that from now on, he would absolutely talk less and even show up less around Yan Feifan. This guy was too outrageous—was he clairvoyant?!

If he could see through the secret of his own rebirth...

Wait, no—could he have also seen through Lu Ding’s secret of rebirth?!

To this day, Zhan Tingzhou still firmly believed in his guess: Lu Ding was definitely reborn.

Yan Feifan’s voice continued: "And Brother Lu, did you notice? This guy has an accent—not strong, but it’s there. In casual moments, his pronunciation is a bit stiff. If it were somewhere else, I might not catch it, but this accent characteristic is definitely from Yunhai and the surrounding area."

"He’s got that Jianghuai-accented vibe."

Lu Ding’s face, which had just been serious and contemplative, suddenly broke into a smile: "You’ve become a dialect cop or something, haven’t you?!"

Yan Feifan grinned sheepishly: "It just came up in the conversation. So Brother Lu, have the Third Circle look into it. With this range, it’ll be easy to find him. I’m already looking forward to the feeling of slapping his real information right in his face."

"It’s going to be shocking."

Lu Ding couldn’t suppress his smile either: "Alright, I’ll make a call to the Third Circle. You go notify everyone and get ready to move out soon."

I’m going to the hospital, folks. I feel too terrible. Sorry, no extra chapter today. My apologies, a serious apology, please forgive me.
