However, judging from the reactions of Li Fu and the others in the Fog Bureau, it seems that they really have nothing to do with the Crimson Cult.
Since Lu Ning had mastered the ability to fall, he could still vaguely sense other emotions.
The awakened beings throughout the base city were somewhat tense and worried, and it didn't seem like they were faking it.
After returning to the hotel, Nan Yu paid the hotel compensation fee reimbursed by headquarters, and then the group left the hotel and went to another one.
Just like before, Nan Yu also booked an entire floor as their base.
In the following period, the Fog Bureau began investigating the Crimson Cult, allowing Lu Ning and his group to focus on investigating the anomalies in the base city.
During this time, Lu Ning met with Ke Qing several more times, and even tried to use his charm to influence her.
Ultimately, no useful clues were found.

Lu Ning's physical strength has also greatly improved under the effect of the physical tempering method and the physical enhancement brought about by the breakthrough, probably reaching the level of a sixth-order physical enhancement type awakener.

Of course, Lu Ning's breakthrough also means that his level has finally caught up with the members of the exploration team, and he is no longer lagging behind in terms of level.
Unfortunately, they still haven't made any progress regarding the anomalies in the base city.
If Li Fu and the others hadn't actually had a memory lapse, Nan Yu and the others would have even doubted whether the base city was actually normal.
Just a few days after Lu Ning's breakthrough, news came from the Mist Bureau.
There has been progress regarding the Scarlet Cult.
