First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!
Chapter 151: Old Hag, What Kind of Death Are You Looking For

......

A figure dropped down, landing on the old woman’s back.

He reached out and grabbed her head.

“I found you too.”

A spine-tingling crack sounded in that instant.

Lu Ding held the monster’s head and stomped down on its back, snapping it clean in half.

Then he gave it a yank.

With a crisp pop, a round, rolling object was pulled into his hand.

He raised it and tore off the outer skin, revealing a huge mange-ridden dog head.

【Contained Creature: Red Dog】

【Containment Reward: Wing Membrane Flight Technique】

【Wing Membrane Flight Technique: Allows flight by spreading wing membranes from under the ribs, enabling arm-flapping flight】

Pretty useless, and ugly too. Lu Ding didn’t even want to imagine how dumb he’d look flying around flapping his arms.

No thanks.

This kind of monster was actually recorded in Taiping Guangji.

[Zhang Sima of Dingzhou, in the summer of the 28th year of Kaiyuan, was sitting outdoors with his wife one night when he heard something flying overhead... it turned out to be an old dog, red and sparsely furred, very long in body, extremely short-legged, only one or two inches tall. Sima ordered it burned, fearing it to be a monster...]

Basically, one summer, Zhang Sima of Dingzhou was chilling in the yard with his wife.

Suddenly heard something flying over.

He sent people to chase it, and eventually found the thing looked like an old dog.

Bright red, barely any fur, stubby legs, but super long body—just a deformed mess.

Zhang Sima got spooked it might be something evil, so he had it burned.

Lu Ding held up the Red Dog’s head and looked toward Dong Wenrui in the outhouse.

He took a step back.

“This method’s not bad, but too bad you had bad luck.”

Dong Wenrui looked up at Lu Ding, her face lighting up with surprise, memories swirling in her mind.

“You’re the one from last time, that... that...”

Lu Ding nodded. “Yep, that was me, and this time too.”

“Get up here, I’m going after the Blind Granny. You remember to stay safe at home.”

Lu Ding turned to leave.

Dong Wenrui scrambled up in a hurry.

A lot of things clicked in her head all at once.

Her original plan had been to report the situation.

She figured if Grandma really was a monster, well, she hadn’t attacked her for days already, so she probably wouldn’t act right away either.

That should’ve bought enough time for 749 to show up.

Who would’ve thought...

But that wasn’t even the key point. The key point was—she had clearly told Blind Granny to take Grandma with her.

Yet now Grandma was here...

“Dead Granny... is that Blind Granny?”

“Doesn’t matter what she was called before. After tonight, she’ll be Dead Granny.”

Hearing that, Dong Wenrui seemed to get it.

Her gaze turned sharp.

So it was Blind Granny behind all of this!!

Lu Ding stepped out and flew toward the back of the village with Bai Hemen, heading for Blind Granny’s house.

Dong Wenrui didn’t linger either. She rushed back into the house.

Tore through drawers and cabinets and dug out the blasting caps and flintlock left behind by her grandpa from his days guarding the mines.

She grabbed the weapons and ran straight toward the end of the village.

....

At the same time.

Old house at the village edge of Dongshan Village.

This was Blind Granny’s home.

Inside the small room, coils of incense smoked from the ceiling, talismans were plastered everywhere.

Dozens of spirit tablets were neatly arranged.

The one at the top was the memorial of Ye Chengfeng of Daheshan.

Blind Granny approached holding a lit red stick of incense and placed it into the burner.

She set down the tablet for Ye Li.

“Old brother, it was all thanks to you that I escaped back then. Now you’re gone, and I still don’t have what it takes to avenge you... I’ve really let you down.”

“I can’t protect the others for you either. I can only use this method... to bring back Xiao Li’s fate. I hope you don’t blame me.”

“I read his fortune years ago—it said he’d survive a desperate situation. But now... I don’t know what went wrong.”

“By logic, he shouldn’t have died.”

She muttered to herself, then changed topics.

“This girl, I think she’s a good match for Xiao Li. Their fates are pretty similar. I think the two of them suit each other. In a bit...”

She never finished her sentence.

The earth wall exploded.

A figure charged in and kicked her straight on. Blind Granny went flying and smashed into the offering table.

Spirit tablets flew.

Lu Ding grabbed two of them—one in each hand.

They were Ye Chengfeng’s and Ye Li’s.

He examined them, mimicking Blind Granny’s tone. “This dead old hag, I think you’re a perfect match for this dead old man.”

“I’ll send you down to him soon, you two can be a pair. Both died by my hands—what a fate, huh?”

In the corner, Blind Granny glared in rage.

“You’re Lu Ding!!?”

Lu Ding turned his head, that eerie grin back on his face. “Since you know who I am... and you still pulled this behind-my-back crap.”

“So tell me—what kind of death are you looking for?”

Blind Granny’s heart sank. She didn’t understand. Couldn’t figure it out!

How did Lu Ding find his way here!!!?

She raised a hand and pointed—instantly, the scissors on the ground shot toward Lu Ding.

Once rusted and dull, they gleamed razor-sharp midair.

Lu Ding tilted his head.

The tablet for Ye Chengfeng in his hand was instantly pierced in two.

Lu Ding shook the two halves. “You stabbed that yourself, huh.”

He crushed them into dust.

“Lu Ding!”

Lu Ding glanced her way. “Oh? Angry?”

He raised the other tablet for Ye Li. “Then how about this—will this make you even angrier?”

With a crack, Ye Li’s memorial shattered into powder too.

Lu Ding laughed.

“Hahahahaha, now that’s the proper process. Dead people should stay dead and obedient.”

“I’ll kill you!!”

Blind Granny roared, her fury uncontrollable as she leapt up.

Lu Ding vanished like teleportation, raised his leg.

One kick!!

Boom!!!

Blind Granny smashed through the wall, tumbling into the courtyard.

Blood gushed from her mouth.

“What power do you have to fight me? Now, I’ll give you a chance to run. Remember—go that way.”

Lu Ding pointed.

If not for wanting to steer her toward Chang Yan’s old home, he wouldn’t have even bothered talking.

She’d be dead in two punches, easy.

Hearing that, Blind Granny clutched her bleeding chest, dragging herself backward with pitiful kicks.

From the looks of it, it almost seemed like Lu Ding was the one bullying an old lady.

Suddenly.

She felt something behind her. Looked up.

Bai Hemen stared down. “Don’t know east from west? He said that way.”

As he spoke, he kicked her flying in the direction Lu Ding had pointed.

She tumbled midair and slammed into the ground.

At this point, Blind Granny finally realized these two were toying with her—like a cat with a mouse.

But she had no other options now.

She got up, glanced at the two, then turned and ran into the darkness.

Lu Ding flew after her, Bai Hemen melted into the shadows.

Before long.

Dong Wenrui came running, flintlock in hand.
