This building is different from the previous one; there are no security guards in the lobby on the first floor, only a few scattered staff members coming and going.
They glanced at Lu Ning and his group once, then left without looking back.
Lu Ning stopped a man and asked, "Hello, did you see any investigators from the Fog Bureau yesterday?"
"The Bureau of the Mist?" The man paused for a moment, then shook his head. "Never seen them before. Were any people from the Bureau of the Mist here yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, a young man from the Mist Bureau team immediately frowned and shouted, "Are you lying? The Third Action Team came here to investigate yesterday, how could they not have seen it? Are you hiding something?"
The man trembled from the drink and said nervously, "I...I really didn't!"
Before the member could speak, Lu Ning interrupted him and asked, "Isn't there a receptionist and security guards in this building?"
The man paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This building belongs to our company. The boss said that our storefront is on the second floor, and we don't need security guards or receptionists on the first floor, so we haven't hired any."
Lu Ning nodded and asked, "Where is your boss?"
"The boss? He rarely comes to the company, he shouldn't be here today."
Lu Ning said calmly, "You can leave now."
Upon hearing this, the young man who had spoken earlier, along with several other members of the Mist Bureau, frowned.
The young man who had spoken earlier immediately said, "Commander Lu Ning, are we just going to let him go like this? The Third Action Team was clearly here, but he said he hadn't seen them. Perhaps he's a suspect."
Lu Ning remained silent, while Eileen beside him gave the young man a cold look: "Since Captain Lu is leading the team, you should keep a close eye on things. Don't you know how to carry out orders? Do you want me to teach you?"
As a sixth-tier awakened being, Eileen possessed extremely powerful mental strength. The pressure emanating from her mental strength pressed down on the young man who was speaking, causing his face to turn pale instantly.
He didn't dare to deny it and quickly said, "I'm worried the suspect might escape."
However, under Eileen's intense gaze, he dared not say anything more.
The other members of the Mist Bureau who were originally about to speak also remained silent.
The pressure from Eileen was too much.
Lu Ning didn't care and calmly looked at the man, saying, "Let's go."
The man breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and thanked him repeatedly, and then ran towards the door.
The Bureau of Mystery has arrived here. As a normal person, the obvious thing to do is run.
Who doesn't know that where the Fog Bureau is located, disease and disaster are often lurking?
After the man left, Lu Ning looked down at the white mist for a few seconds before stepping out.
Eileen and several other members of the investigation team followed without asking any questions.
Lu Ning's previous unusual behavior and actions made them trust him unconditionally.
The members of the Mist Bureau exchanged glances and looked at each other blankly.
Finally, Ke Qing spoke up: "Why don't we leave? I've met Captain Lu a few times, and he's quite extraordinary."
Karen nodded. "Keep up."
Before the first action team caught up, the other action teams, despite having some reservations, still followed.
Lu Ning didn't take the elevator, but instead walked to the edge of the lobby, where the emergency exit was located.
Looking at the door that the emergency exit pointed to, Lu Ning walked over and opened it.
Inside the door is a staircase, one side leading upstairs and the other downstairs.
The staircase downstairs has been blocked off by an iron gate with a note that reads: "Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."
In Lu Ning's view, wisps of white mist drifted out from the gaps in the iron gate.
These white fogs made the fog concentration in the surrounding environment higher than in other areas.
Seeing Lu Ning calmly looking down at the iron gate, Eileen and the others exchanged glances.
Dennis asked, "Captain Lu, is there a problem down there?"
Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Mm."
Dennis frowned, carefully sensed the surroundings, and then asked in confusion, "I didn't sense anything unusual."
After saying that, Dennis said with some helplessness, "In this godforsaken place, my perception has been greatly interfered with."
Lu Ning and the others understood what Dennis meant.
After all, when Dennis entered the base city, he sensed that the entire base city was somewhat different.
As the concentration of white fog in the base city increased, Dennis's perception abilities were continuously suppressed.
Song Sinian laughed and said, "Practice more when cooking. See how Captain Lu does it."
Dennis rolled his eyes: "Come on, Captain Lu, I can't learn that."
As they were talking, Lu Ning stepped forward.
He punched the door lock.
Bang!
A loud crash rang out, the metal lock was smashed, and the iron door was flung open.
After the iron gate was opened, a rotten smell wafted out from inside.
It was as if this door hadn't been opened for many years.
The inside was completely dark; only the nearest few steps of the stairs were visible, and below was utter darkness.
There was a switch on the wall behind the door. Lu Ning looked at it and found that the switch was not working.
He took out his phone and turned on the light.
Under the light, the stairs below can be seen.
Lu Ning stepped inside.
Behind Lu Ning, Eileen and the others also turned on their lights and went down.
When they arrived at the basement, Lu Ning noticed that the concentration of white fog there was much higher than upstairs.
When they arrived at the basement, Dennis's expression immediately changed.
He frowned, looked around through the bright lights, and said, "Captain Lu, I feel like there are many sources of mental pollution down here."
Lu Ning nodded calmly: "Mm."
He scanned the basement, which was about twenty meters in diameter, with an iron door on each of the left and right sides.
