Just as Lu Ning was about to speak, there was a knock on the door, and a somewhat nervous voice came from outside: "P-what's going on inside?"
Lin Menglan walked over and opened the door, only to find it was the hotel receptionist.
They were clearly attracted by the previous explosion.
Lin Menglan immediately took out her identification: "I'm sorry the Fog Bureau damaged your hotel room while they were investigating. I will apply for compensation from the Fog Bureau, so don't worry."
Upon hearing that they were from the Bureau of Mystery, the hotel receptionist immediately looked on with awe.
He stammered, "Yes, sir."
He glanced at the huge crater in the room and the blood and flesh that were visible everywhere, and gasped.
He then asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, officers?"
"No, you can go."
The hotel receptionist quickly nodded and left.
Lin Menglan closed the door and then asked, "Captain Lu, what do we do next?"
"Let's wait for the captain and the others to come back and see if they've found anything."
Lin Menglan nodded, then, as if remembering something, she asked, "By the way, Captain Lu, do you possess a mind control type soul weapon? If so, you can have the captain and the others bring the suspect over for interrogation. After all, there are unusual things happening at headquarters, and we'll feel more at ease with our own people."
Lu Ning looked at Lin Menglan with a puzzled expression: "Soul weapon?"
Seeing Lu Ning's confused look, Lin Menglan paused for a moment: "Didn't you just control Salin?"
Lu Ning explained, "That's ability."
"Hiss... Captain Lu, you're actually a dual-ability user?!" Lin Menglan's eyes widened in shock.
Dual-ability users have appeared in the history of the Mist Era, but they are extremely rare.
Lu Ning said, "More or less."
Lin Menglan looked at him with admiration: "Captain Lu, you are so versatile. Mental abilities are very useful in many ways."
Lu Ning nodded.
"Then I'll notify the captain and the others now and have them bring the suspect back as well."
Lin Menglan then called Nan Yu and the others.
They were both surprised and delighted to hear that Lu Ning also possessed mental abilities.
The situation in the base city is not very good right now, so having this capability is undoubtedly very valuable.
So, in the afternoon, Nan Yu and his group brought the suspect back.
Lu Ning used his charm ability to interrogate the suspects, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything unusual; all three suspects were innocent.
They weren't even awakened beings.
After Nan Yu and the others released them, they discussed the matter and ultimately decided to inform headquarters about the Crimson Cult.
After all, with such a small group, it would be too difficult for them to find members of the Crimson Cult within the base city.
Although there were some unusual things happening at the Mist Bureau headquarters, the Crimson Cult was located within this base city, so they couldn't possibly bypass the headquarters no matter what.
Besides, they also had the idea of luring the snake out of its hole.
The way the base city treats members of the Scarlet Cult may reveal the source of the problem.
"We need to keep a close eye on headquarters at all times and absolutely cannot let our guard down. Sherry, this matter can only be entrusted to you."
Nan Yu looked at Shirley.
Sherry, as a triple shapeshifter, is the best tracker.
Shirley nodded: "I'll be careful."
“Hmm, there are actually some members of the Crimson Cult hiding in the already unusual base city. I need to report this to the Federal Bureau first and see how they will handle it,” Nan Yu said with a frown.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others also turned somewhat somber.
Xu Hui said, "This mission is far too difficult. It would be best if the bureau could send a high-level Awakened One over."
Nan Yu, however, was not optimistic. He said, "You're all no longer newcomers, so you should be able to sense that the number of disease outbreaks in each base city is increasing. Although the number of Awakened is also increasing, new Awakened need time to grow. We're already short-handed."
The tasks of higher-level Awakened are more demanding, requiring them to defend medium and large base cities. Base City 121 is, after all, a small base city, and this mission isn't the type that can be resolved quickly; it requires a lengthy investigation, making it difficult to assign higher-level Awakened to handle.
Upon hearing this, everyone else fell silent.
They understood Nan Yu's meaning, of course, since there were only so many high-level awakened individuals in the entire Federation, and they simply couldn't accommodate them all.
Even the fact that Saint Qinglan was able to come here before was already a result of the Federation's attention to it.
The tasks of a Saint are more arduous than those of a High-Ranking Awakened.
Seeing the others remain silent, Nan Yu smiled and said, "No matter what, I'll report it first. What if the Federation, out of consideration for the Crimson Cult, sends a high-level Awakened One over?"
Everyone else smiled.
After Nan Yu reported the situation to the Federal Bureau via message, he and Lu Ning went to the headquarters of the Mist Bureau and told Li Fu about the Crimson Cult.
When Li Fu heard that the Crimson Cult existed, he was immediately stunned.
As the director of the Mist Bureau, he was naturally aware of the Scarlet Cult's power.
So he immediately issued an order that all branches of the Mist Bureau should investigate clues about the Crimson Cult.
They even need to mobilize those who are awakening to freedom.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ning thought of the Paradise in Base City 116.
At that time, they also mobilized all members of the Fog Bureau in the entire base city to search for the higher-ups of Happy Heaven.
Unexpectedly, I was tricked.
This time, Lu Ning didn't know if the Crimson Cult had any plans.
