First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!
Chapter 220: The Wail of the Weak, the Screams of the Defeated

There’s an extra chapter today, the fourth one

......

The originally lively atmosphere instantly turned so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone present, without exception, was doubting their ears.

Were they f*ing stupid?

Obviously not.

But on the day of Madam Bai’s birthday celebration, you bring the ashes of her grandson and granddaughter—who the hl could believe that?

The guests didn’t believe it.

As for the Bai Family—say no more.

Bai Fengtang shot up from his seat. As the father of Bai Baolian and Bai Baoce, he couldn't accept that his children were now packed in a box.

Madam Bai staggered a step back.

Beside her, Bai Baoyu quickly reacted and caught her in time.

The elderly woman, who had been full of healthy color just moments ago, lost all color from her face, aging tenfold in the blink of an eye.

As the family steward in charge of outside affairs,

Bai Fengjing stepped forward, his face dark. “Yunhai 749... what has our Bai Family ever done to offend you!?”

To this, Lu Ding didn’t rush to answer.

Instead, he looked toward Madam Bai.

In his nineteen years of ordinary life, Lu Ding had learned to read people’s expressions and behavior the hard way.

By now, he was a master at it.

From the moment he entered, the expression Madam Bai showed upon seeing Bai Hemen—the look in her eyes, her subtle movements, her micro-expressions—

All hinted at something off.

Xitong and Yunhai were worlds apart. How could the two have possibly met before?

The most likely explanation was—

Her!

She saw in Bai Hemen traits that reminded her of someone, causing a moment of confusion.

Combined with the things Bai Hemen said—

Lu Ding already had his answer.

Even if he couldn’t be certain, he was at least eighty to ninety percent sure.

Lu Ding glanced around but didn’t spot the figure of the Bai Family Patriarch.

Since that was the case, he’d go ahead and complete that last ten to twenty percent himself!

He glanced at Bai Hemen.

This guy wasn’t going to be able to explain things clearly.

Lu Ding turned to face Bai Fengjing directly, withstood the oppressive aura of his Earth Observer Realm cultivation, and took a step forward.

“Offend? Don’t flatter yourselves. I’m just doing my job. Weren’t you the ones constantly demanding updates about the two of them? Well, I’ve brought them back for you now.”

“Oh right, there’s more.”

As Lu Ding spoke, investigators from Xitong 749 led in a group of Bai Family Cultivators of Qi.

Looking at their sooty faces and drained spirits,

All the guests didn’t even dare breathe.

Best to just watch.

A standoff between 749 and the Bai Family—this kind of spectacle wasn’t something you got to see every day.

A group of Bai Family Cultivators walked in.

Seeing that all the Bai powerhouses were gathered here,

They were overcome with emotion, quickened their pace, and knelt to the floor: “Family Head~ Madam~ We’ve suffered so much~”

Their cries were heartbreaking, moving everyone to tears.

It was as if they’d suffered unbearable torment.

Bai Baoquan, wiping his tears after shouting loudly, spotted his father in the crowd.

His father wasn’t originally a Bai.

He’d been absorbed into the Bai Family later, given the Bai surname—that’s how Bai Baoquan came to be.

Though he bore the name Bai, by blood, he wasn’t truly one of them.

Bai Baoquan spun around and pointed at Lu Ding: “It was him! He killed Brother Baoce and Sister Baolian!!”

Those words dropped like a bomb.

Everyone was stunned.

Lu Ding stood calmly where he was.

Why return the bodies?

Because he wanted them to file a complaint.

Sure enough, a murderous aura surged.

Bai Fengtang moved in fury.

As the father of Bai Baoce and Bai Baolian,

The news of their deaths had already devastated him, and now the killer stood right before him, a mere junior—how could he hold back?

So what if he’s a 749 Investigator?!

He’d lost both son and daughter—what else did he have to care about in this life?

He roared: “I, Bai Fengtang, hereby sever all ties with the Bai Family!!!!”

“Second Brother!!!”

“Fengtang!!!”

Shouts of protest rang out.

But it was too late.

The wind pressure surged forward.

Lu Ding locked eyes with the charging Bai Fengtang. He hadn’t expected this guy to say something like “sever all ties.”

Truly, man plans and Heaven laughs.

Trying to avoid dragging the Bai Family into the consequences of attacking a 749 Investigator?

Nice idea.

But you’ve got to have the power to pull it off.

Lu Ding pressed his middle finger to his index, formed a hand seal, raised it before his face, peered through the loop at his target.

He opened his mouth—spell follows voice.

“Seal.”

The word rippled outward like circles on water, spreading visibly through the air.

Bai Fengtang instantly felt the world shift.

Suddenly, he was trapped in a deep well, walls around him etched with countless toad beasts in strange and grotesque forms.

A disturbing sensation he couldn’t put into words.

He looked up.

Light poured in from the well’s opening.

Bai Fengtang instinctively launched upward.

But just then, those toad beasts etched on the walls opened their massive mouths.

In an instant—

A flood of bizarre, multicolored venomous snakes burst out, biting and gnawing at him.

His True Qi barrier didn’t last a second.

Fangs pierced his flesh, venom coursing through his veins.

Waves of pain surged—deadly and unrelenting.

Listen.

The wails of the weak, the screams of the defeated, the regrets of the defiant, the dying words of the doomed—

All were within these howls of agony.

“Ah!!!!!!”

“Snakes!! So many snakes!! So many snakes!!!”

“Mom help me Mom!!! Brother!!! Brother!! It hurts!! It hurts so bad!!!”

“What did you do, what did you do, didn’t you say ‘Seal’? Let my second brother out!!”

The Bai Family’s fourth, Bai Fengzhuo, charged forward.

But before he could reach Lu Ding—

A sharp iron spike thrust from behind Lu Ding’s shoulder, piercing straight through Bai Fengzhuo’s forehead, breaking the skin.

Fresh blood dripped down slowly.

Footsteps rang out, approaching.

Lu Yuzhu walked forward unhurriedly, exuding intense pressure. Bai Fengzhuo stepped back, stiff-faced.

“You... wanna die?”

Lu Yuzhu’s voice plunged the scene into eerie silence again.

With the stage cleared, Lu Ding stood alone under everyone’s gaze, spreading his arms: “This is my ‘Seal.’”

He released the hand seal.

Bai Fengtang’s mangled corpse dropped out, not a single inch of flesh left unharmed.

Silence followed silence.

Everyone had been misled by fixed assumptions—

That one word, ‘Seal,’ made them think of something like imprisonment, binding, suppression, detention.

Who could’ve known it was such a brutal technique?

And they hadn’t expected Lu Ding to possess such terrifying strength.

His youth and appearance had deceived them thoroughly.

What should have been an adult beating a kid—

Turned into the kid pulling out the ultimate trump card.

Who could’ve seen it coming?

“My son!!!!”

Madam Bai threw herself to the ground, clutching Bai Fengtang’s corpse.

Lu Ding glanced around. Why hadn’t the Bai Family Patriarch shown up yet?

Looks like it’s time to throw more fuel on the fire.
