“I’m not crazy,” Lu Ning argued.
Yan Feng rolled his eyes, too lazy to reply.
Wang Anming chuckled: "So, Mr. Lu Ning, you are a human from more than two thousand years ago? Back then, the mist didn't seem to have appeared yet?"
Lu Ning nodded repeatedly: "Yes."
"Then, as you were walking along the road, you entered the fog and stayed there for over two thousand years, after which you saw a patch of light that allowed you to observe the solar system?"
"That's right, that's how it is!"
Wang Anming's tone grew increasingly complex: "...In the end, you tore through the fist-sized patch of light that allowed observation of the solar system...and emerged from the fog?"
"It seems you understand me, sir! You're absolutely right." Lu Ning smiled sincerely, feeling as if he had met a kindred spirit.
Wang Anming's smile was somewhat forced, and he did not respond.
He seemed to remember something and asked again, "By the way, there's one more thing... What did you mean by what you said to Li Mu before? Why did Li Mu suddenly become ill?"
"Who is Li Mu?" Lu Ning asked, looking confused.
Lin Xiao clenched his fist and growled, "Then it's that woman from before!"
Lu Ning suddenly realized, and then he said, "I saw a lot of eyeballs inside her body. Those eyeballs were looking at me, so I asked them what they were looking at. Then I don't know why those eyeballs seemed to be very angry."
Lu Ning's words made Wang Anming and the other three widen their eyes.
Wang Anming's tone was cryptic: "...You said you saw many eyeballs inside Li Mu's body?"
Lu Ning nodded, then seemed to realize something: "There was also some white mist. That woman's body seemed to be composed of white mist and eyeballs. And yet she was still a normal person. Why can't I be a normal person?"
Lu Ning glanced silently at Yan Feng, then turned to look at Lin Xiao.
The two men's lips twitched slightly, but they remained silent.
“White mist…eyeballs…” Wang Anming murmured to himself.
The other three also seemed to be deep in thought.
The atmosphere in the room became quiet again.
At this moment, Lu Ning asked, "Have I finished speaking? Can I leave now?"
Wang Anming snapped out of his daze and smiled, "We still need to verify the truth of what you said. Once we confirm that you are not in danger, we will let you go."
"Alright then." Lu Ning nodded.
He then asked, "I'm hungry, can I eat? Do you have braised pork?"
"Hehe... No problem, he can eat it! Xiaolin, prepare a room and food for Mr. Lu Ning to rest in."
Lin Xiao nodded silently and looked at Lu Ning: "Let's go."
Lu Ning got up and left the metal room.
When the door closed again, Wang Anming's expression became very serious.
He looked at the two people beside him: "...What do you think of what he said?"
Yan Feng immediately said, "That guy is definitely a madman; his mental pollution must be extremely serious!"
"But you've seen the previous report; his mental pollution level was 0%! To be honest, I can't imagine that there are really humans in our time with a mental pollution level of 0%."
The middle-aged man calmly said, "Director Wang, do you really believe he was a human from more than two thousand years ago, before the Age of Mist? And that he stayed in the mist for more than two thousand years?"
Wang Anming shook his head with a wry smile: "Logically, I don't believe it. But..."
He glanced at the bronze ring on his hand; the ring appeared to be made of some kind of special bone.
It is inlaid with a blue gemstone, which occasionally flashes with an unusual light.
"The fact that the Ring of Lies did not react indicates that the Ring of Lies believes that he is telling the truth."
The atmosphere in the room fell silent once again.
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up and went to the spot where Lu Ning had been sitting, examining the table.
"Old Li, what are you looking at?"
Yan Feng was somewhat curious.
Li Yihang remained calm and slowly said, "When Lu Ning was emotionally agitated earlier, he slammed his fist on the table, and his hand bled... but the tabletop was perfectly flat."
"So what?" Yan Feng said dismissively.
“Normally, in that mental state, it is difficult for a human to fully control his power. If he really is not an ordinary person, then at the very least, the table should have been left with some marks.”
Upon hearing this, both Yan Feng and Wang Anming were taken aback.
They looked at the tabletop.
Indeed, the desktop is very flat.
The three exchanged a glance.
"...Could it be that he really is just an ordinary person?"
“But he was able to revive even though his body was shattered like that, and he could even see the source of mental pollution in Li Mu’s body. He doesn’t seem like an ordinary person at all.”
The three discussed it for a long time but could not reach a conclusion.
Lu Ning himself is too contradictory.
Finally, Wang Anming spoke up: "I'll pass the message up first, and wait for orders from above before taking action."
The other two had no better solution and both nodded.
"good!"
…………
Lin Xiao led Lu Ning into a room.
"You'll stay here for the next few days. I'll be on guard outside. If you need anything, just let me know. The room has a private bathroom where you can use the toilet and take a shower. You can't leave here until the orders from above come down."
Lu Ning nodded, then asked, "Can I eat now?"
Lin Xiao's eye twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and his voice came out through clenched teeth: "...It's already been prepared for you!"
Do you have braised pork?
"Yes!!" Lin Xiao's voice trembled.
"Thank you." Lu Ning quickly sat down at the table, waiting for the meal to be served.
