Chapter 628: You Commit a Crime, I Kill You; You Do Good, I Ensure Your Wife Lives in Wealth and Peace
"It's basically equivalent to a chat room."
"Any tasks in Wuwang, along with member activities, can be received in the Nowhere Room."
"Or you can private message through spell techniques."
"My mission to snatch No-Leave-Heaven's corpse in Xiankong Town was a private message task."
Lu Ding understood now.
To be honest, this Wuwang organization was quite sophisticated.
He'd never even heard of this thing before.
But then again, he hadn't been in the Second Circle for very long.
Still, this thing definitely had value.
As Jin Si's consciousness grew increasingly faint, he didn't wait for Lu Ding to ask questions and spoke faster."Although there are secret techniques, entering the Nowhere Room requires authentication."
"I see you're wearing 749 shoulder insignias, so you must be from 749."
"I haven't seen any 749 investigators in the new city with abilities like yours, so you must be from outside, right?"
"I believe the methods of the outside Great Han should be able to crack the Nowhere Room's authentication and infiltrate it. What you lack is just the entry channel."
"I hope my contribution can earn your help in relocating my wife to a safer environment."
"I'm afraid Wuwang might cause trouble for her... after all, within Wuwang, many people dislike me because of my active marginalization."
These final words came as Jin Si's consciousness began to waver.
He spoke intermittently: "This isn't my exchange, it's just my request..."
The words ended there, without conclusion, leaving only the image of Jin Si's remaining consciousness shattering like bubbles.
What remained was a string of secret technique characters.
Lu Ding reached out to take them, the characters swirling around his fingertips. Under the influence of [Heaven-Man Unity], he gradually understood their essence.
Truly ingenious.
With a pinch of his hand, the characters dissipated.
"That's an additional price, I agree."
With Jin Si's death, matters concerning him were pretty much concluded.
The remaining accounts would be settled with Wuwang.
As for the gains from accessing Wuwang's Nowhere Room.
This counted as an unexpected bonus.
Whether you called it Jin Si throwing caution to the wind to express his dissatisfaction with Wuwang.
Or Jin Si realizing his errors and turning over a new leaf, though a bit too late.
At least he showed his stance.
Originally, he didn't have to give anything, but since he did, this could be considered meritorious service that wouldn't reduce his immediate death sentence - not redeeming crimes with merits or balancing merits against faults.
You commit crimes, I kill you;
you perform meritorious service, I protect your innocent wife's safety and ensure her lifelong wealth and well-being.
Everyone plays by the rules.
After all, the secret technique to enter Wuwang's Nowhere Room was quite important to him.
At least it would allow him to learn more about some internal situations of this cancerous Wuwang organization.
Lu Ding had just tried it - no cracking needed, he could enter directly, and it wouldn't even trigger the review process.
As long as Wuwang didn't check each entry meticulously, there would be no problems.
One could only say that [Heaven-Man Unity] and [White Snake Shakes Scales] were still carrying hard, never stopping.
"When the time comes, as long as I see what tasks are being accepted, I can set up ambushes in advance and directly capture the Wuwang demons accepting those missions!!"
For a moment, Lu Ding's smile gradually began trending toward that sinister "hehehe" territory.
Fortunately, he restrained himself in time.
Controlling his smile, he turned and flew off, buying two fifty-pound bags of garlic at the vegetable market.
Lu Ding returned to the farmstay once more.
As soon as he entered.
Kang Lu heard the commotion outside and came out to check.
She saw Lu Ding carrying two bags of garlic and was momentarily stunned.
Hadn't she told her husband about this...
Her gaze fell on the 749 shoulder insignias on Lu Ding's shoulders.
Kang Lu quickly trotted over to help: "Officer, what is this?????"
Regardless of 749's reputation in the new city, the professional intimidation and prestige that came with being government officials was undeniable.
Lu Ding smiled as he put down the items: "Sis, could you get me some water? I'm parched from rushing over here."
His words instantly closed the distance between him and Kang Lu.
Hearing the term 'sis'.
Kang Lu immediately assumed this was her husband's friend, and judging by his familiarity, probably not just an ordinary friend.
She quickly ran back into the yard to pour a glass of water.
Watching Lu Ding chug it down, she tentatively asked: "Young man, are you my husband's..."
"Good friend, we often go fishing together."
Fishing together?
That matched up perfectly!
The tension on Kang Lu's face instantly eased.
"Young man, come come come, let's sit in the yard."
Lu Ding waved his hand in refusal: "No need, sis. The bureau is really busy. I just came to tell you that Jin Si, with his excellent swimming skills, has been specially invited to carry out an urgent mission overseas."
Joking aside, as an aquatic spirit creature with quite remarkable origins, how could he not have good swimming skills?
Even though Jin Si usually hid it, his affinity for water and related habits would always show through.
So Kang Lu also knew her husband was an excellent swimmer, like a white streak in the waves.
This was the method Lu Ding had carefully considered - relatively reasonable.
And tactful.
Eventually reporting death in the line of duty, with him personally providing compensation, was much better than telling her your husband was secretly a Wuwang demon.
If Jin Si hadn't pulled that final move, Lu Ding wouldn't have handled it this way.
When dealing with principled and cooperative people, Lu Ding generally wouldn't let them off, but he wouldn't skimp on proper handling either.
Law enforcement must have humanity.
Hearing this, Kang Lu grew somewhat anxious: "Why didn't Jin Si tell me? Is it dangerous? How long will he be gone? Can he call home?"
Lu Ding lowered his voice: "Sis, this is an urgent mission. He had to leave quickly, and the security clearance is high."
"I only know a little bit, which is why I could come tell you."
As he spoke, he patted the two bags of garlic standing on the ground: "Incidentally, Brother Jin Si told me you asked him to buy two bags of garlic, so I brought them over."
This further confirmed the truthfulness of Lu Ding's words.
After all, Kang Lu herself had messaged Jin Si about buying two bags of garlic.
And this had just happened.
By now, she mostly believed him.
Lu Ding continued: "Sis, don't worry too much. There's definitely some danger, but it shouldn't be particularly dangerous."
"As for how long, it could be as short as a few months, or up to a year. Phone calls probably won't be possible - confidential mission, you understand."
His words both prepared Kang Lu mentally and revealed his planned timeline for cleansing the new city.
Kang Lu's mood sank: "Why did he have to leave so urgently..."
Seeing her like this.
Lu Ding quickly changed the subject.
"Sis, don't worry. Jin Si is special talent, he has protection. And when he left, our bureau approved special treatment for him."
"Specially built a house for him in the bureau's family compound. From now on, you'll live there."
Sure enough, these words immediately redirected Kang Lu's emotional focus.
"Ah???"
"What about this farmstay then..."
This was something she and her husband had started together.
She didn't want to leave this place;
she still wanted to retire here with Jin Si.
Since he'd decided on the tactful approach, Lu Ding would see it through to the end.
"Move it to the family compound! There are more people there, better business."
Then he lowered his voice again, like sharing a secret: "With Jin Si gone, it's not safe for you to be home alone, sis."
"The people in the family compound have higher quality, everyone's in the same system, they look out for each other, give face with every nod and greeting."
"And now that Jin Si is gone, you can't handle everything alone. After moving to the family compound, you could completely transform the place, tidy up the yard, grow some flowers, arrange some greenery, set up a fireplace for tea brewing..."
