He turned his gaze back to the headquarters building.
The headquarters of the Mist Bureau is less than 100 meters high, but it occupies a considerable area, about one kilometer in circumference.
People came and went at the main gate, including guards, awakened members of the Mist Bureau, and ordinary people.
Anlan explained that the federal government also works inside.
To be honest, the top officials of the Mist Bureau headquarters are basically also the top officials of the Federation.
After all, in this era, powerful awakened individuals have more say.
Not to mention the demigods who are no longer like mortals.
The words and actions of those demigods have a significant impact on the entire human civilization.
Saint-level powerhouses usually reside at the headquarters and major base cities.
They take turns on duty every so often.
Therefore, the General Administration basically knows all Saint-level powerhouses, and the three of them, including Arn, are no exception.
The guards at headquarters greeted Arn and his group respectfully upon seeing them.
Staff members coming and going from the bureau also greeted each other with bows.
Yann and Osiris nodded slightly in response, while Aishalin was rather indifferent, pretending not to see them.
After entering the headquarters, Yann said, "I'll take Lu Ning and An Lan to the investigation center to report the situation. Osiris, you and Aishalin take the others to exchange the Soul Weapons for credits, and then exchange them for things we can use."
Osiris nodded slightly and smiled, "No problem."
Osiris and Aishalin then led Jerry and the others away, while Yann said to Lu Ning, "The archives are where human civilization records and information about the mist are kept. Because they are quite important, they are located on the first basement level. Let's go there now."
Lu Ning naturally had no objections, and the three of them arrived at an elevator.
There were two guards outside the elevator, and Lu Ning sensed that their mental fluctuations were both at the ninth level.
Upon seeing Ya'en, the two showed respect and bowed.
One of the blond middle-aged men chuckled, "Lord Yann, it's a routine check-up. Elder An is too."
Another black-haired youth looked at Lu Ning with some confusion: "Who is this...?"
“Lu Ning,” Ya En explained.
The blond middle-aged man and the black-haired youth stared wide-eyed at Lu Ning.
Then the black-haired youth smiled and said, "So you're Lu Ning? I've heard of you from Lin Wuyue. It's an honor to meet you."
Lu Ning nodded calmly: "Hello."
The blond middle-aged man took out a Horcrux that resembled a mirror.
The mental pollution level above is not low; it should be close to a high-risk level Soul Artifact.
The Horcrux shone its light on the three of them, and after confirming that there were no problems, the blond middle-aged man smiled and said, "The three of you may go in now."
The black-haired youth opened the elevator door for the three of them.
The three of them got into the elevator, and the elevator doors closed.
Lu Ning noticed that the elevator was quite spacious, but only the three of them got on.
The elevator took longer to descend than expected, leading Lu Ning to guess that the so-called underground level was probably tens of meters below the surface.
Lu Ning glanced around the elevator and noticed that in addition to the first floor, there were buttons for the second and third floors.
An Lan explained, "The second basement level is the research and development center, an area for studying soul weapon forging and soul crystal instruments and equipment. The third basement level is the containment area, where some cultists, dangerous soul weapons, and dangerous materials are contained."
Lu Ning nodded slightly.
Soon, the elevator arrived at its destination, and the elevator doors opened.
Outside the door was a corridor with several doors on both sides, and at the very end was a black iron door.
The three left the elevator, and Ya'en led An Lan and Lu Ning to the iron gate.
Yann knocked on the door, and after a short while, the iron gate opened, revealing a pale-skinned woman inside.
The woman had long black hair and wore a black silk robe with a gold pattern and a high collar. There were some strange runes on the robe.
A thin chain was locked around her pale neck, and on the other side of the chain was a bronze-covered book floating in the air.
Ya'en greeted him with a smile, "Qingjian, long time no see."
Qingjian glanced at Ya'en, then turned and walked inside.
Her voice was ethereal, as if it came from inside the doll: "What do you want to record?"
Lu Ning looked up at the inside of the iron gate.
This is an extremely large library, with bookshelves stretching as far as the eye can see, each shelf neatly filled with books.
Ya En led Lu Ning and An Lan into the archives.
Yaen began, "We went to Mist 233 this time and discovered some anomalies..."
As Ya'en was speaking, Qingjian came to the blackwood desk and took out a blank notebook from the drawer.
She sat at the desk, propping her cheek up with one hand, listening to Yann's story as if it were a tale.
On the notebook spread out in front of Qingjian, lines of text automatically appeared.
The text content is exactly what Yern had mentioned earlier about the exploration of Mist No. 233.
