He pushed up his glasses and chuckled dryly, "Just kidding, why are you so nervous?"
Although Colin said that, he was restless and absent-minded for a while afterward. Even when Lu Ning and the others called him, he was in a daze and it took him a while to react.
Clearly, the news of the demigod's impending arrival put immense pressure on him.
Around noon, Lu Ning and the others went downstairs to order lunch from Yu Ran.
As soon as Lu Ning came downstairs, he heard Yu Ran humming a song softly, her voice full of joy.
When the group arrived at the front desk, they saw Yu Ran humming a cheerful song while tidying up the items at the front desk.
She tidied up the once messy front desk into a neat and orderly manner.
Li Mu teased, "It's rare to see Xiao Ran like this. You're not playing games today? You're even packing your things?"
Ke Qing smiled and said, "Could it be that you're in a relationship?"
The others also smiled.
Yu Ran blushed, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at Ke Qing and Li Mu, saying, "What are you saying? I'm not in a relationship!"
She glanced at Lu Ning and said with a grin, "If I'm going to date, I want someone like Lu Ning!"
Lu Ning pointed to himself, somewhat confused: "Why am I like this?"
Dmitry, standing nearby, exaggeratedly clutched his heart, looking heartbroken, and said, "Yeah! Why did she have to choose someone like Brother Lu? Am I not handsome enough?"
Colin just smiled and didn't say anything. He still had his deceased wife on his mind and had no intention of dating.
As for Aihar, he's still a child.
Wang Qiwen, on the other hand, was constantly told by Yu Ran that he was particularly pretentious.
Yu Ran rolled her eyes at Dmitri and said, "Because Lu Ning won't die. What if you die someday? Wouldn't I be living the life of a widow?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Dmitri cried out in anguish, "Waaah, Xiao Ran, are you cursing me to die?"
Colin and Li Mu smiled, but their eyes held a hint of complexity.
Yu Ran's parents were their colleagues, and they had already sacrificed their lives.
Lin Xiao, who was like a brother and father to her, also sacrificed himself.
For Yu Ran, nothing else matters; the most important thing is to live.
Unfortunately, for the members of the Fog Bureau's action team, Yu Ran's idea was not easy to realize.
Even ordinary people are safer than members of the Fog Action Team.
After all, almost all dangers were kept out of their lives by the members of the Mist Action Team.
Li Mu smiled and changed the subject, asking, "If you're not dating, then why are you so happy today?"
Yu Ran laughed and said, "Because I dreamed about my parents last night! They even asked me if I was still a good child, so of course I had to show them, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Colin adjusted his glasses and said, "Shouldn't our good girl, Xiao Ran, be getting ready to order us some food?"
Yu Ran suddenly realized and asked, "Oh, what do you want to eat?"
Lu Ning was the first to speak: "Braised pork."
Yu Ran rolled her eyes: "...Lu Ning, I've changed my mind. I won't date someone like you anymore."
Lu Ning was somewhat confused: "Why?"
"Who could stand eating braised pork every day? Were you a piece of braised pork in your past life?" Yu Ran couldn't help but complain.
The others laughed too.
Lu Ning orders nothing but braised pork every day.
Lu Ning said firmly, "Because braised pork is the best!"
Aiha immediately said, "Brother Lu Ning is lying! That stuff is so sweet, the best thing to eat is clearly the spicy chicken!"
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Colin pushed up his glasses and said, "Alright, let's order."
Aiha is a foodie, and every time this topic comes up, he and Lu Ning argue fiercely about it.
…………
The following days were relatively peaceful.
Although we have to deal with some unusual events from time to time, these events are not large in scale, and they are only first- or second-order tasks, which are relatively simple.
Lu Ning would use his free time each day to temper the pollutants in his body.
Although the source of corruption from the Hand of the Underworld within him was much stronger than the previous source of corruption from the Fallen Angel and the Source of Flesh and Blood, Lu Ning's strength was also greater than before, so the tempering process was relatively fast.
Nearly half of the Yellow Springs Hand contaminant source has now been refined.
At this rate, the pollution source should be completely purified in a little over a month.
As for Lu Ning's mental strength, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to improve.
Even after more than a month, he was still far from reaching the seventh level.
…………
That morning, Lu Ning and his group rested in the activity room as usual.
Just then, the entire activity room seemed to transform into a painting.
Lu Ning and the others noticed that their body lines had become very distinct. In fact, they could only see up, down, left, and right, but not in front or behind them.
Colin and the others stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with horror.
Just then, strokes appeared in the center of the activity room, and with a few strokes, a human figure was formed. Then, the human figure solidified into facial features and a body.
She was a pretty woman with long, silvery-white hair that had a paper-fiber-like texture and naturally curled ends, resembling an unfinished paper crane.
Those black pupils contained white geometric matrix patterns, and these patterns were constantly changing.
