Song Sinian's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What organization?"
The woman shook her head: "I never ask him these things, I don't know."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Song Sinian's eyes.
Lu Ning looked at the house behind the woman and confirmed that the mental pollution inside was normal.
He then said, "The message has been delivered, so we'll be leaving now."
The woman bowed slightly and said, "Thank you both."
Lu Ning nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Song Sinian smiled at the woman and quickly followed her.
After walking some distance away, Song Sinian looked at Lu Ning and said, "Captain Lu, that lady seems to have guessed it."
Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Mm."
Song Sinian sighed, "How pitiful, that little girl is still so innocent."
Lu Ning paused for a moment, then calmly said, "There are many pitiful people."
The previous riots in Base City 116 caused too much tragedy.
Song Sinian nodded: "You're right, in this damn world, death is really too common. Sigh... If only the fog would disappear."
Lu Ning did not answer.
Then Song Sinian seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "By the way, Captain Lu, you said you came from before the Mist Era? Was life back then really as safe as the history books say?"
Lu Ning's gaze drifted into the distance, as if lost in memories.
He shook his head: "Although it wasn't as dangerous as it is now, there were still various wars back then. However..."
Lu Ning paused for a moment, then said calmly, "The country I lived in was the safest country in the world at the time. While other countries were engulfed in war, people in our country would even argue over whether tofu pudding should be sweet or savory."
At this point, Lu Ning's eyes gradually filled with a sigh, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Hearing this, Song Sinian was somewhat puzzled: "What's there to argue about?"
Lu Ning looked at Song Sinian with a serious expression: "Of course we should argue, savory tofu pudding is just the best."
Song Sinian couldn't understand, then said enviously, "That's wonderful. I wish we could have that kind of security too."
Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Perhaps it will happen in the future."
The two talked for a while and then drove away from the neighborhood.
Following the directions given by Nan Yu, Lu Ning went to other locations to investigate clues about the flesh and blood mutation.
However, after investigating several locations, no signs of lesions were found.
It seems that only that abandoned industrial park has abandoned experimental bases.
Meanwhile, the test results for the samples from headquarters were not yet available, so Lu Ning and the others took turns keeping an eye on them.
And just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye.
The person who had passed the note had not shown up during the past week.
This disappointed everyone, and Nan Yu ultimately decided to give up the stakeout.
After all, they have too few people.
The entire area of Base City 121 is quite large. It would be too difficult for them to investigate the anomalies in such a large area with just a few people.
With the matter of the flesh mutation seemingly resolved, Lu Ning and the others resumed their investigation of the anomalies in the base city.
Every day after they wake up, they go to various parts of the base city to investigate the situation.
Lu Ning invited Ke Qing to investigate again. During their conversation, Lu Ning never encountered Ke Qing experiencing memory confusion again.
The white mist inside her body was very stable.
Everything seemed to be making no progress.
Of course, there is also good news.
That's because the spiritual radiation in the base city is relatively high, so Lu Ning doesn't have to worry about spiritual pollution, and the speed of tempering his spiritual power is much faster than in Base 116.
With the aid of Soul Crystals, Lu Ning's mental strength improved rapidly.
Just over a month later, Lu Ning felt that his mental strength was about to reach a bottleneck again.
On this day, Nan Yu, who was overseeing sample testing at headquarters, brought back good news.
The test results are in.
That viscous fluid is a special kind of nutrient solution containing mental pollution.
This nutrient solution contains a chelate that only two companies in the entire base city can produce.
As for the blood and flesh sample test, it showed that the mental activity inside the blood and flesh sample was somewhat abnormal.
According to the testing personnel, this anomaly means that these flesh and blood samples are essentially living organisms!
This news shocked everyone.
That evening in the assembly room, Xu Hui asked, somewhat bewildered, "If these flesh fragments are alive, then what about the original owner of these flesh fragments?"
Nan Yu said, "This means that the mental and physical bodies of the infected people that Lu Ning and the others killed before have separated, just like a split personality. One controls the mind and the other controls the body, and these flesh and blood samples are the part that controls the body. Moreover, this living part can even be contaminated by the mind."
Eileen crossed her arms and murmured, "So this is what Captain Lu meant when he said those infected people before, that their minds weren't diseased, but their bodies were? Because their bodies and minds are separate entities?"
Nan Yu nodded: "You could say that."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Is it really possible for a human being to separate his mind and body into two separate individuals?" Sherry still found it hard to believe.
After all, even a normal illness cannot achieve this, completely separating the mind and body.
Nan Yu said with some helplessness, "But that's the truth."
"This Scarlet Cult is truly sinister."
Lu Ning didn't react much. He said, "Evil gods are all quite strange. That fallen angel was quite strange too. And the moon, the sun..."
Lu Ning paused here.
The others were full of questions, staring blankly at Lu Ning.
"...Captain Lu, what do you mean? What's wrong with the moon and the sun?" Lin Menglan's lips twitched.
Lu Ning shook his head: "It's nothing. Some things are better left unsaid."
Upon hearing this, the others exchanged glances, but then decided not to ask any further questions.
In this world, those with an excessive amount of curiosity generally don't live long.
"Okay, the good news is that we might have a new lead. Let's go check out those two companies that produce chelates. Maybe we can find out who bought that stuff."
Nan Yuming changed the subject.
"Um!"
…………
The next morning, the team split into two groups, led by Nan Yu and Lu Ning respectively, and headed to two different chelate production companies.
Lu Ning's team consists of Shirley, Eileen, Song Sinian, and Cheng Yue.
They drove to the company called Lanxin Chemical.
The company is located in the first district, near the city wall.
The company occupies a considerable area; it is a standalone commercial building, which may include a factory area.
After being checked by the security guard, Lu Ning and his group of five easily entered the company by showing their identification.
They even had someone specifically assigned to take them to the company's boss.
