......

As someone who had been through it before, even someone as cautious as him would subconsciously withdraw his consciousness every time he encountered it, having never suffered losses in his previous life.

It was only after suffering losses that he belatedly realized this point.

This was human habitual thinking.

Fu Xinghe pushed up his glasses beside him and continued: "Even if it doesn't withdraw its consciousness, it still has to use its true form to save Chen Yan."

"And this Rat Demon's divine descent consciousness is attached to Chen Yan."

"So wherever Chen Yan is, the Rat Demon's divine descent consciousness is there, and wherever the severely injured Chen Yan is, the healing Rat Demon's true form is there."

This was called rigor.

A reborn old schemer with maxed-out support abilities, an assistant investigator who calculated without omissions and emphasized data rigor, paired with him as the main DPS going all out.

Thinking of this, Lu Ding couldn't help but laugh wildly, wantonly and arrogantly.

"How can they compete with us ahahahahahaha......."

Fu Xinghe and Zhan Tingzhou stood on Lu Ding's left and right respectively. The two exchanged glances and couldn't help but follow Lu Ding's laughter.

The perfect iron triangle!

Lu Ding's black smoke dotted the figures of the three, forming a perfect composition that echoed with the dark clouds pressing down on the city in the sky, creating an indescribable atmosphere - both cool, and arrogant, and sinister, and terrifying.

Looking at the three who had suddenly started laughing for some unknown reason.

Shen Qixue, lying on the ground, only felt that these three looked nothing like 749 Bureau investigators, and didn't even seem like good people.

One had a sinister smile, madness suppressed in his eyes, paired with gold-rimmed glasses and an administrative jacket - the epitome of a refined scoundrel, an educated madman.

One had a fierce mask covering his face, his features unclear, his stance always defensive, with hands hidden in his sleeves that never came out - the epitome of an old schemer.

The last one, his ink-wash robe flowing elegantly amidst the black smoke, when the silk obscured the sky and merged with the darkness, the most rampant and wanton laughter came from Lu Ding's mouth. At this moment, it seemed he was the darkest sky above the new city!!!

Shen Qixue stared mesmerized, momentarily forgetting her pain, and couldn't help but ask herself: "Are these three really 749 Bureau investigators......."

Although she hadn't seen Lu Dong do any evil deeds.

But it seemed that the most vicious investigators in the new city weren't even one-tenth of him.

Lu Ding glanced at her, muttering to herself in front of others - what a psycho.

With a flick of his ink-charm robe, he turned and left with the words: "Take her into custody, bring her back to White Ridge afterward!"

Although Shen Qixue hadn't explicitly stated her previous choice, silence was always the best answer.

Watching Fu Xinghe and Zhan Tingzhou approach.

Shen Qixue spoke up: "I am from Path of Dry Bones........"

She originally wanted to say she was a Path of Dry Bones 749 Bureau investigator, so even if there were problems, she should be taken back to Path of Dry Bones.

But before she could finish her sentence, the ink-like large swing of Lu Ding's robe that he had just flicked, in its ethereal beauty, heavily slapped her face.

SMACK!!!!

Sending Shen Qixue, who was sitting on the ground, spinning several circles in the air before free-falling and crashing to the ground.

The flesh on her face was scraped off a layer.

Lu Ding's forward steps didn't stop, but after slowing slightly, he slightly turned his head, revealing the corner of his eye:

"Weren't you asking me if I've ever had privileges? Now I answer you - if you say one more word, I can immediately kill you."

"This, is my privilege."

The previous boomerang had hit between the eyebrows.

Geniuses all had privileges. Although Shen Qixue was also a genius, she knew she couldn't compare to Lu Ding.

So even if Lu Ding killed her.

In her logic, Lu Ding probably wouldn't face consequences either.

In just an instant.

Shen Qixue figured this out and immediately stopped speaking.

Lu Ding was satisfied.

Not brain-dead, still salvageable.

Later, she could also be used as an excuse to infiltrate Path of Dry Bones.

White Ridge had been tamed quite well already, the territory needed expansion, and Path of Dry Bones was the next target.

Initially, when Lu Ding came to White Ridge, his soft approach was entirely because his own strength wasn't sufficient at the time, so he had to use psychological tactics to subdue Hou Dehai and Qian Jin.

Now his power was sufficient!

Then the remaining 749 Bureau offices in the new city could only blame their bad luck.

With super power, who still uses super intelligence?

Two horizontals and one vertical - just do it!!

...

Entering the Xiankong Town 749 Office, Earth Dragon Immortal flashed to Lu Ding's side and bowed with clasped hands: "Thank you, Grand Duke Lu, for venting my anger."

"No need for courtesy, this is just interest."

Earth Dragon Immortal bowed even lower: "Earth Dragon Immortal understands, this is all part of Grand Duke Lu's plan. I will restrain my emotions, hide well, and wait......"

Lu Ding glanced at him: "Wait? Wait for what? Prepare to start working."

Earth Dragon Immortal was dumbfounded.

Wasn't... wasn't there a plan?

Where's the plan?

I just arrived.

Is the plan so urgent?

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Chen Yan just taken away?

He subconsciously asked: "Now?"

Lu Ding smiled: "Should we pick an auspicious date?"

His efficiency had always been - what could be done now, do it now;

what could be done today, do it today.

Never delaying even a bit.

After quickly dealing with the Rat Demon and harvesting the skill, he still needed to break through realms.

This newly acquired [Hate Child Surviving Alone] had to be utilized.

There were a bunch of matters waiting for him later, couldn't afford delays.

Now that the chaotic timing and terrain advantages in the new city were gradually recovering, he had to take advantage of this time to conquer more territory.

Otherwise, when the new city's injuries recovered somewhat, he wouldn't be the only special envoy anymore.

At that time, he'd not only have to fight the new city's demons, ghosts, and local forces, but also compete with the special investigators who would come later.

The exciting parts were all ahead.

Had to speed up.

The emotions Earth Dragon Immortal had just suppressed were instantly reignited by Lu Ding's few words.

"Alright!!!"

The slightly trembling tone revealed his excitement!!

This day, Earth Dragon Immortal had waited over twenty years!!!

It sounded long, but during that time, he had never slacked off, remembering the hatred day and night.

But over twenty years of effort couldn't compare to Lu Ding's arrival for one day.

This was what efficiency meant!

As Lu Ding entered the Xiankong Town 749 Office building, facing the anxious gazes of all the investigators, he said: "I don't care how many violations you've committed before."

"After today."

"Those who die are martyrs, receive compensation, recorded in county annals, regardless of the past."

"Those who survive are meritorious officials, receive rewards, undergo reform, receive lenient punishment."

"Three-Horse Division of Spoils, merits and faults don't offset each other, any objections!!!?"
