As the Crimson Sword absorbed more and more flesh and blood, the white mist on it grew increasingly dense.
Lu Ning even sensed that the Crimson Sword had undergone some kind of peculiar transformation.
However, at that moment, the transformation of the Crimson Sword stopped.
The flesh and blood in the entire empty room had been completely absorbed.
Lu Ning glanced at the Crimson Sword and a hint of regret appeared on his face.
As the flesh and blood were completely absorbed, the humming of the Crimson Sword gradually stopped, and the crimson aura it had emitted gradually dissipated.
As the Crimson Sword returned to its original state, Lu Ning noticed that its color had become several shades deeper than before.
After sheathing the Crimson Sword, Lu Ning looked at Eileen and noticed that she had unknowingly been standing in the corner of the room.
Lu Ning was a little confused: "Why did you walk so far?"
Eileen said, somewhat speechless, "Don't you realize how seriously polluted your sword is?"
Lu Ning calmly said, "This kind of mental pollution has no effect on me, so I don't need to care about it."
Eileen: "..."
As Lu Ning put away the Crimson Sword, the mental pollution lessened considerably, allowing her to walk over.
Eileen glanced at the red box on Lu Ning's back and said, "Your sword seems to have gotten stronger?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."
Eileen said with some envy, "It hasn't become a high-risk soul weapon yet, has it? If you have a high-risk soul weapon, your strength will increase significantly."
Lu Ning shook his head: "Although there have been changes, it still feels like it's not as good as a high-risk soul weapon."
Lu Ning had, after all, come into close contact with a high-risk soul artifact, namely the Fallen Incense Burner.
While the Crimson Sword is stronger than before, it is still considerably weaker than the mental pollution caused by the Fallen Incense Burner.
Lu Ning stepped out: "Let's go."
"They went out?"
"I want to go to the other side and see if there is any flesh and blood that hasn't been absorbed. I'll let the Crimson Sword absorb it."
To Lu Ning's disappointment, the Crimson Sword was extremely greedy. It absorbed not only the fork in the road, but also the other fork and the flesh and blood space. Even the corpses of those diseased individuals who died in the flesh and blood corridor but had not yet been absorbed by it were drained dry.
Lu Ning and Eileen had no choice but to leave the flesh and blood room.
When they returned to the basement, Lu Ning saw the fleshy, diseased corpses scattered all over the floor and once again drew the Crimson Sword.
When Lu Ning took out the Crimson Sword, all the members of the Mist Bureau action team around him retreated in horror.
Karen asked warily, "Commander Lu, what are you planning to do?"
Lu Ning looked at them with some confusion: "Why are you all so nervous?"
Another team leader's lips twitched: "...Commander Lu, this is a mid-level dangerous soul weapon! How can we not be nervous? This mental pollution is a bit too high for us."
Lu Ning nodded slightly, then explained, "I want to absorb the corpses of these diseased individuals."
After saying that, Lu Ning ignored the team members and absorbed the remaining corpses of the infected.
Unfortunately, the improvements brought by these mutated corpses were not significant and did not greatly help the transformation of the Crimson Sword.
After absorbing the nutrients, Lu Ning looked at the group from the Mist Bureau and said, "Let's go, let's leave this place."
"good!"
The group left the basement and soon arrived at the lobby.
Karen said with a serious expression, "Commander Lu, there must be something wrong with this company. After all, this strange underground space was built under their company."
Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Yes, keep them under control."
All three team members nodded.
Lu Ning's previous display of strength made these action team members completely obedient to his orders.
Within moments, all the company's staff who were still present were taken into custody.
When these staff members heard that the Bureau of the Mist was investigating, everyone looked terrified, and some even couldn't stand up straight.
For ordinary people, being involved with the Mystery Bureau is basically related to disease, which almost certainly means extreme danger, or even death!
Karen's original intention was to take these staff members to the Bureau of the Mist for investigation.
However, Lu Ning stopped them: "I have the ability to interrogate. Prepare an empty room for me."
“Huh? But…” One of the captains of the Mist Bureau’s action team hesitated.
Dennis frowned at him. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No, but wouldn't this kind of behavior be considered a private interrogation? It's not in accordance with regulations..."
"We are an investigation team, not under the jurisdiction of your Mist Bureau headquarters, understand?"
Dennis's words were quite blunt, but considering the strength of Lu Ning and the others, Karen quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "The investigation team is here to investigate, so the interrogation is reasonable."
The other two team leaders said no more.
They quickly tidied up a room.
Lu Ning was alone in the room and had the staff take turns going in.
Lu Ning used his charm ability on the staff, but unfortunately, none of them had any problems.
They all claimed to know nothing when asked.
If someone truly understands the Crimson Cult, then even if they don't get anything out of them, the worst outcome will be an explosion.
However, it wasn't entirely without any gains.
Through these staff members, Lu Ning learned that their staff turnover rate was very high.
Many people disappeared after leaving the company, and they could not be contacted at all.
They tried contacting the police department, but after investigating, the department said there was no problem.
