"What? He's already at the second level?! Didn't he just learn the Mental Tempering Technique not long ago?" Ye Nan stared at Lu Ning, exclaiming in surprise.
"Yeah, this kid doesn't have to worry about mental pollution. Tempering his mind isn't as delicate as we are, and his tempering efficiency is also very high." Lin Xiao grinned, his eyes full of envy.
Qiu Yuelin looked at Lu Ning with eyes full of admiration: "Brother Lu Ning is so amazing! You've already reached the second level. I'm still so far from reaching the second level."
Wei Xuan nodded admiringly, "I still have a long way to go."
"However... a second-tier awakener is still a low-tier awakener, how could they possibly deal with a fifth-tier awakener?" Ye Nan was still somewhat confused.
Colin chuckled. "He can use Horcruxes, and the Awakened One's abilities just don't work on him. You could say that cultist is pretty unlucky."
Hearing this, Ye Nan was even more surprised: "A fifth-tier awakened person's ability has no effect on him? How is that possible?"
"Well, because the cultists' abilities mostly involve the mind, and you know Lu Ning's mental state... well, it's very stable."
Ye Nan then realized what was happening, and then he looked at Lu Ning and smiled, "I didn't expect that someone at only the second level could make such a contribution. Young people are indeed more impressive."
Lin Xiao also thought of something and looked at Lu Ning, saying, "By the way, you deserve a lot of credit this time. After all, a mid-level Awakener cultist is quite dangerous. Without you, the best outcome would probably have been that we held out until reinforcements arrived and he gave up. Killing that cultist was all thanks to you, and you should get a lot of rewards this time."
Upon hearing this, Lu Kong looked at Lin Xiao and asked, "Is there a soul weapon reward?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I'll apply for it for you, but I'm not sure if it will work. Don't get your hopes up too high."
Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Mm."
Just then, footsteps sounded quickly, and Yu Ran ran up from behind. She was carrying a silver metal box in her hand.
"Captain, your medicine!"
Ye Nan also came to his senses and said, "Let's help Lin Xiao to the activity room first."
Wang Qiwen and Wei Xuan nodded repeatedly, and the two helped Lin Xiao into the activity room, where they laid him down on the sofa.
Then, Colin took the metal box from Yu Ran and opened it; inside was a blue potion.
Seeing that Lu Ning and the others were curious, Colin explained, "This potion was made by an Awakened with healing abilities within the Mist Bureau. Unfortunately, this potion cannot be stored for a long time, and the production process is quite complicated, so the entire Mist Bureau doesn't have much of this potion in stock."
As he spoke, he attached the needle and injected the medicine into Lin Xiao's body.
Lin Xiao's expression immediately relaxed, and his originally pale face gradually regained its rosy hue.
He exhaled a breath of stale air and grinned, "Finally, I feel better."
"Why don't you lie down and rest a bit more?" Colin said, glancing at Lin Xiao, who was about to sit up.
Lin Xiao shrugged and lay back down.
Colin then looked at Lu Ning and Wang Qiwen and said, "You two should go and rest. You must be tired after a long night."
Wang Qiwen looked a little embarrassed: "I didn't do anything."
Colin laughed: "Didn't you kill a few Tier 1 Pathogens? That's a contribution too. I'll apply for a reward for you later."
Wang Qiwen's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay!"
Lu Ning nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to sleep."
After Lu Ning and Wang Qiwen left, Ye Nan also returned to the basement.
Colin looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Are you going to ask that lady later?"
Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Of course I'm going. Let's go in a little while. I'll rest for a bit too."
Colin nodded.
…………
After returning home, Lu Ning had a wonderful sleep.
When he arrived at the Bureau of the Fog, it was already evening.
The receptionist was another young woman named Annie.
Yu Ran was on night duty yesterday and will have a day off during the day.
Annie greeted Lu Ning, who nodded, and then they went up to the third floor.
Colin and Lin Xiao were not in the activity room on the third floor; only Wei Xuan and Qiu Yuelin were there.
Wei Xuan was playing a single-player game, while Qiu Yuelin was watching an idol drama.
Seeing Lu Ning approach, Qiu Yuelin's eyes lit up, and she greeted him with a smile, "Brother Lu Ning, have you rested well?"
Wei Xuan laughed and said, "Why don't you rest a little longer? Wen hasn't even arrived yet. He probably wasn't as tired as you were yesterday, was he?"
Lu Ning said, "I've rested enough. Where are the captain and vice-captain?"
"The two of them went to the police station, supposedly to have another talk with the young lady who reported the incident yesterday," Qiu Yuelin explained.
Lu Ning nodded slightly and came to Wei Xuan's side to play games with him.
It wasn't until around 6 p.m. that Lin Xiao and Colin returned to the activity room.
Lin Xiao had changed into a new set of clothes, and her complexion was rosy; there was no trace of her previous miserable state.
He and Colin hung their trench coats on the wall and sat down on the sofa, looking exhausted.
Wei Xuan asked, "How is it?"
Colin said, "That lady has already told us everything she knows. This birthday party was a private party hosted by Han Yu, the young master of Tianxing Entertainment Group. Some of the guests attending the party are the children of high-ranking executives of the entertainment group, and some are minor celebrities and models."
"We had the police investigate Han Yu, and they found that the guy has been having a lot of fun lately, dating both men and women, and frequently throwing parties. As for whether this is his true nature or if he's been exposed to depraved incense, we're not sure yet."
