Upon hearing this, the others' expressions changed slightly.

Bai Jingming and his assistant, who were standing closest, immediately stepped back.

They looked at the fluffy substance with apprehension.

Seeing everyone's tension, Lu Ning calmly said, "Don't worry, the location where this flocculent material is extending is not in our space."

Upon hearing this, the Saint Qinglan and the others were all taken aback.

Gina seemed to realize something and said thoughtfully, "You mean... what if this mental pollution extends into another dimension? Similar to that death space before?"

Lu Ning shook his head: "I don't know, but the spider silk I can see is within a meter of this fluffy thing."

Saint Qinglan nodded slightly, then looked at Bai Jingming and asked, "Dean Bai, are there surveillance cameras in the room? Do you know how and when these flocculent substances appeared?"

Bai Jingming said, "There is surveillance, but this location is a blind spot. It's blocked by Commander Jerry's head, so we can't see it."

Saint Qinglan seemed to be deep in thought, then looked at Bai Jingming and asked, "So what do we do now?"

Bai Jingming thought for a moment and said, "We need to study what this flocculent substance is before we can draw any conclusions."

Saint Qinglan nodded slightly: "Then I'll trouble you to study it."

Bai Jingming nodded, then, wearing gloves, used a pair of white jade tweezers to pick up the fluffy substance and put it into a metal box.

As the flocculent material entered the metal box, Lu Ning noticed that the spider silk around it seemed to have been cut by the metal box.

Even the spider silk connecting Jerry's temple was severed.

After putting the metal box away, Bai Jingming looked at Jerry again.

He had his assistant bring out the equipment to examine Jerry.

Bai Jingming quickly frowned and looked at Qinglan Saint, saying, "Commander Jerry is still in the same condition."

The Saint Qinglan and his companions were somewhat disappointed.

Gina sighed, "I thought these were impurities that Jerry expelled."

Nan Yu nodded slightly.

Saint Qinglan said, "I would appreciate it if you could study this further."

Bai Jingming shook his head: "It's what we should do. You all stay here with him, I'll go and get back to work."

After Bai Jingming and his assistant left, Qinglan Saint and the others looked at Jerry.

Saint Qinglan asked Lu Ning, "Is there any difference between Jerry's condition and before?"

Lu Ning shook his head: "No."

In Lu Ning's view, Jerry's body still did not show excessive mental pollution.

Even though the flocculent material was connected to Jerry's temple, the mental pollution in Jerry's body was still normal.

Just as the spider silk extending from the fluffy substance does not affect mental pollution.

Saint Qinglan paused for a moment, then said, "I have already contacted the headquarters, and Anlan and Jerry will be brought back to headquarters for treatment tomorrow."

Lu Ning nodded: "Okay."

Base City No. 116 is, after all, just a small base city, and its medical resources are certainly not comparable to those of large base cities.

Neither of them is in life-threatening condition at the moment, but they will probably need to go to the General Administration of Sport for a proper treatment.

Then, the Azure Mist Saint seemed to remember something and smiled, "I've already reported the situation in the Fog of Number 233. Your contribution this time was significant. The rewards from headquarters have been announced. You can apply for a high-risk soul weapon, and also for a special-risk, one-time-use dangerous item. It's the same level as the white jade arrow I used before, a dangerous item imbued with divinity!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Yu and Gina, who were standing nearby, were immediately filled with envy.

Nan Yu patted Lu Ning on the shoulder and said, "You've got to treat us, kid!"

Gina chimed in, "Yeah, high-risk soul artifacts and extremely dangerous items—I wouldn't even dare to dream of such things!"

Lu Ning nodded and said, "No problem."

Saint Qinglan smiled and said, "Do you have any soul weapons or dangerous items you'd like? Tell me now, and I can mention them to you. Although our headquarters has a limited number of high-risk soul weapons and extremely dangerous items, they may not be entirely suitable for you, but it never hurts to mention them."

Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Anything that suits my abilities is fine. The greater the power, the better. I don't need to worry about the side effects."

Upon hearing this, the three Saints Qinglan were taken aback.

Side effects are a crucial factor in choosing a Soul Weapon.

After all, if the side effects are too high, even if the Soul Weapon is powerful, its cost-effectiveness is not high.

Nobody wants to have serious problems due to side effects after using a Horcrux just once.

They had never heard of Lu Ning's choice before.

However, when they thought of Lu Ning's ability to live, not to mention Nan Yu and Gina, even Saint Qinglan, who was already considered a top expert among human awakeners, had a hint of envy in his eyes.

Saint Qinglan nodded and said, "Alright, I will report your request, and I should be able to give you an answer tomorrow."

"good!"

"Let's go! Let's eat! We're going back tomorrow, so we have to give that Lu Ning a good beating today! This is so satisfying!"

Gina and Nanyu pushed Lu Ning out the door, urging Steve and Yang Yin to treat Lu Ning to a meal.
