Chapter 2469 - 2477: Discovering the Problem

Ferguson’s words had Wesley and Henderson exchanging glances, unable to believe that Qin Yu could actually kill a Divine Chosen Warrior!

Especially Gandi, he was an S++ level psychic! Translating that to Huaxia Martial Artist levels, he was a peak expert of the Quasi-Divine Realm!

"Elder Ross, could Ferguson have made a mistake? Half a year ago, the Grim Reaper was just a nobody who barely had S-level combat strength by going berserk, how could he beat Gandi?"

Ross placed his hand on Ferguson’s head, striving to salvage the spiritual power that could be reclaimed. Through this spiritual power, Ross saw the scenes of Qin Yu’s battle.

"Divine Artifact, the Grim Reaper has a Divine Artifact in his hands! Moreover, he must possess a Spatial System Divine Artifact."

Having said that, Ross used spiritual power to recreate the scenes of the battle between Qin Yu and Ferguson!

Seeing Qin Yu conjure an axe out of thin air had both their eyes burning with desire! This was a Spatial System Divine Artifact! Even Elder Ross didn’t have a Spatial System Divine Artifact.

"Elder Ross, we will definitely bring back the Grim Reaper’s head!" Henderson and Wesley quickly pounded their chests, promising.

"At all costs! We must retrieve the Spatial-type Divine Artifact!"

"Relying solely on our power, I fear we cannot find the Grim Reaper. I request assistance from the SHIELD Bureau."

"No problem, I will give the SHIELD Bureau a heads-up in a moment."

"Guaranteed completion of the mission!" With Ross’s promise, the two felt reassured, turned around, and left, determined to flawlessly accomplish the mission.

Throughout the whole day, Mossas was shrouded in anxiety.

Having finally fallen asleep, he was awakened by the ringing of the phone, and Mossas instinctively wanted to curse out loud, but upon seeing the caller ID, Mossas sprang from the bed with agility.

Mossas carefully sorted out his pajamas and hair before answering the phone with an E serious and solemn demeanor.

"Elder Ross, what are your orders?"

"Mossas, fully cooperate with Wesley and Henderson’s operation. You must catch the Grim Reaper, and ensure he does not escape back to Huaxia!"

"Yes!"

Mossas hurriedly dressed, apologized to his wife for waking her, and then quickly left the bedroom, heading towards the SHIELD Bureau headquarters.

It was two o’clock in the morning, but the SHIELD Bureau headquarters was brightly lit.

Though somewhat groggy, Mossas’s commands were clear: "Issue a citywide search warrant for the Grim Reaper. Inspect all train stations, subway stations, airports, and docks carefully; we absolutely cannot let the Grim Reaper flee the United States amidst the chaos!

Contact all of today’s flights to Huaxia; have the crews on all flights to Huaxia check if there are any signs of the Grim Reaper! If the Grim Reaper is spotted, they are authorised to make an emergency landing nearby!"

As orders were handed down, the various departments of the SHIELD Bureau became a hive of activity.

Regrettably, all the SHIELD Bureau’s bustling was futile—Big Brother Yu wrapped his arms around Holly Rosie, sleeping soundly.

The sky gradually lightened to a pale dawn; the SHIELD Bureau, after bustling all night, failed to find even the slightest clue! Qin Yu had evaporated like steam from the human world!

"How could this be? Even a fly should have been detected, right?" This time, Henderson did not give Mossas face, after all Mossas had already put in the effort, and furthermore, he was reliant on Mossas to get things done.

Mossas too had a face full of frustration; how could this happen? All available satellites had been mobilized, everyone who might have connections to Qin Yu was being tracked.

All the places Qin Yu might go were under surveillance, but astonishingly, not a single useful clue emerged!

Just when the three of them were at a loss, a subordinate stepped forward and said in a grave voice, "Director, Miss Rosie’s condition has stabilized, and all her bodily data are normal. You don’t have to worry about her anymore."

Rosie? Hearing this name, Henderson’s eyes widened in an instant. How could he have forgotten Holly Rosie? She was deeply connected with the Grim Reaper!

"Director Mossas, which hospital is Miss Rosie in? Bring up the surveillance video of Miss Rosie’s hospital bed right away."

"Mhm."

Upon Mossas’s order, the surveillance video from Holly Rosie’s hospital room was quickly brought up. The three of them watched the footage on fast forward, but after a long time, they couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

"It looks like we might be overthinking this; Miss Rosie should be fine," Wesley frowned.

However, Mossas’s eyes lit up, "Are you really sure you didn’t find anything wrong?"

"What problem?" The two asked in unison.

"Rewind the video!" Mossas turned his head to glance at the staff member.

The staff member cooperated and rewound the surveillance video, and Mossas said solemnly, "Right here, start slow playback from this point."

Following Mossas’s command, the staff member slowed down the video, and soon, Qin Yu entered, but at this moment, he looked like Dr. Lee.

After entering the hospital room, Qin Yu sent the nurses away, and soon after, he also left the room.

"Director Mossas, what can we see from this? I can’t make anything out," Wesley said with a look of confusion.

"There are several suspicions; someone, zoom in on the video, yes, like that. Look, this doctor is a psychologist! You know Rosie isn’t just a medical doctor; she’s also a doctor of psychology! I never arranged for a psychologist for Rosie at the hospital!

Also, even if psychological counseling was necessary, there would be no need to send all the nurses out, right?

The last point of suspicion is that this surveillance video has been tampered with.

I have to admit, the person who tampered with it is a master! But they overlooked something—the spliced-together surveillance footage, no matter how perfectly done, will have slight flaws in the timing!

Someone, rewind the video, and at 22:15:14, play it at 100 times slow motion!"

"Yes!"

The staff member quickly adjusted the time to the point specified by Mossas and watched at a speed slowed down by a hundred times. This time, everyone noticed the problem!

There were issues with the timing—a couple of microseconds of blank time! Micro-seconds swallowed up? Of course not!

Everyone realized the video had indeed been tampered with!

"Immediately lock down the University of Southern California Hospital!" Upon deducing that there was a problem with Holly Rosie’s situation, Mossas ordered, and SHIELD Bureau agents instantly sprung into action!

"Hold on, Director Mossas, tell the SHIELD Bureau agents not to act rashly. Don’t alarm the target; the two of us will go there ourselves."

Henderson didn’t trust the SHIELD Bureau agents at all and unhesitatingly interrupted Mossas’s command.

"That’s fine! SHIELD personnel, stay put, mobilize all satellites to monitor the University of Southern California Hospital! Additionally, have the helicopters in position, ready to take off at any time."

Henderson and Wesley were action-oriented individuals; they immediately set out with the University of Southern California Hospital as their destination.
