Chapter 1541: Chapter 834: The Grand Search of Storm City! (Part 2)

“Let him go,” Green said to Yellow.

The driver stood up and dusted himself off. A new order came through the communication channel: “Do not alert the target. Wait for air support to arrive, then forcibly disconnect the target suspect.”

The driver immediately understood that his superiors had already sensed the Duke of Storm City’s wrath. They were going to use more aggressive methods to verify identities.

Since White Light Person was online, they would forcibly log out the target suspect. Whoever logged out and then saw White Light Person log out right after was the White Light Person!

The next moment, there was a floating airship swooping down from Sky Island, and even two helicopters were escorting, hovering over Kennedy Manor.

Similar situations were playing out simultaneously at dozens of locations across the city.

The powerful aerial combat squadron of Storm City was fully deployed. Given Joker’s strength, there was a significant chance of a last-ditch fight when forcibly logged out, possibly even breaking out of encirclement.

When air support arrived, the driver rushed into the villa. He went to the entertainment room and turned off each of Blue Mountain and the others’ virtual devices.

Yellow and Green could only watch, not daring to say anything.

Blue Mountain was happily leveling up when he woke up, finding it was the driver causing trouble. He was instantly infuriated and wanted to hit someone, while Black also looked grim.

However, Green stopped them, saying in a low voice, “It’s an officer of the Arbiter.”

The driver coldly looked at the others and reported in the communication channel: “Forced logout completed.”

Meanwhile, in the command room aboard the Storm, it was confirmed that White Light Person was not affected. Thus, the order was given: “Withdraw, head to the airstrip and prepare to board the floating airship back for a report.”

“Received,” the driver calmly responded, then strutted away.

The others in the entertainment room, still startled, felt somewhat stifled.

Black frowned and asked, “Why were we targeted by the Arbiter?”

The Arbiter was the looming shadow over everyone in Storm City. The driver was merely D-Class, but with the Arbiter’s identity, he could do as he pleased; seven B-Class experts didn’t dare mess with him.

That’s the ruthlessness of the Arbiter.

Blue Mountain frowned, watching the floating airship and fighter jets leaving quickly into the sky, lost in thought.

…

…

At this moment, in front of the apartment building in the Eighth District, the young man responsible for monitoring the housekeeper received his orders and immediately turned to walk into the apartment building.

The air support overhead had already arrived!

He pressed the elevator button for the 67th floor, planning to force the lock to confirm if the housekeeper had entered the Superconductor World.

If the housekeeper was indeed in the Superconductor World, he would reveal his identity and forcibly log him out.

Such actions took place in as many as 121 locations, covering an extensive range.

The Black Spider aimed to end all this tonight.

In the elevator, the intelligence officer checked his firearms, methodically ejecting the magazine to check the bullets before reinserting it into the holster under his rib.

He anticipated potential conflicts but felt no fear.

The intelligence personnel knew well that if the person they were watching was indeed Joker, discovering the person’s identity might cost him his life.

Joker was a formidable figure known even in the Roosevelt Kingdom of the Eastern Continent.

The elevator quickly ascended, reaching the 67th floor.

However, when the elevator door slowly opened, the intelligence officer was stunned to find the housekeeper right outside the elevator, casually walking in without even glancing at him and pressing the button for the first floor.

The housekeeper glanced at him: “Which floor are you going to?”

The intelligence officer hurriedly said, “I’m going to the first floor. I forgot to press the button earlier.”

“Hmm,” the housekeeper said no more.

The atmosphere in the elevator was tense and oppressive. The intelligence officer stood beside the housekeeper, beads of sweat trickling down his back.

The elevator reached the first floor, and the two walked out together without incident.

Once the housekeeper was several dozen meters away, the intelligence officer whispered, “Number 12 target hasn’t entered the Superconductor World. He just left the apartment, and we don’t know where he intends to go yet.”

The communication channel remained silent for a few seconds: “Clear of suspicion, but continue to follow him to see where he’s heading.”

White Light Person was still online, but the housekeeper had left, so the housekeeper was no longer suspected.

The intelligence officer followed the housekeeper for a short distance, only to watch him enter the most well-reputed fried chicken shop in the Upper Seven District, buy two burgers, a portion of fries, and a large order of fried chicken.

Then he turned back towards his apartment.

The intelligence officer whispered, “He just bought some food, nothing unusual.”

In the communication channel came the voice of Black Spider: “Dismiss the team.”

The intelligence officer was taken aback. Was Black Spider personally supervising this?

…

…

The operation tonight started quickly and ended quickly as well.

What’s most unexpected was that in the 121 action plans, all 235 suspects were cleared of suspicion.

In the command center of the Storm, silence reigned. Everyone began to suspect: could their entire search direction have been wrong from the start?

Entering the Superconductor World requires verifying brain waves, one person, one ID. There had never been an exception.

After all 235 suspects logged out, White Light Person remained online, moving within the play zone.

This could only mean that they had suspected the wrong targets.

Even Black Spider began to wonder if something had been overlooked from the beginning, maybe Joker never landed at the seaside but instead used more sophisticated means to infiltrate, just like the perpetrator in Black Water City?

If that were the case, finding Joker again would be like searching for a needle in a haystack!

“Sir, should we continue to interrogate these 235 suspects?” someone asked in a low voice, “Among them, a Marquis has already lodged a protest with the kingdom, accusing us of over-enforcement…”

Black Spider pondered for a moment: “Let’s not spend too many resources on surveillance for now. Let the elders convene a meeting, and we’ll sort through the new investigation direction!”

…

…

In the housekeeper’s residence, Qing Chen wore the virtual glasses, immersed in the Superconductor World.

Chen Zhuoqu, Li Tongyun, and others curiously examined the room and the robotic girl there.

Kingt of Female Rolls Chen Zhuoqu attempted to pinch Yi’s cheek, only for Yi to smile and push away: “You can’t touch at will, okay?”

Li Tongyun curiously asked, “Are you human?”

Yi replied somewhat formulaically, “No, I’m his lifestyle robot.”

Li Tongyun exclaimed, “I didn’t think Brother Qing Chen was that kind of person!”

Da Yu and Zard wandered around the room, windows drawn closed, with Zard sneakily peeking through a slight gap at the distant sky where the Storm floated: “Wow, the aerial fortress is just hovering over the city.”

At that moment, the door opened, and the ‘Housekeeper’ came back with a bag of fried chicken and hamburgers.

He removed the taboo item ACE-005 Da Fu from his face, revealing Hu Xiaoniu’s true appearance. He smiled and said, “I haven’t been discovered, everyone come eat some fried chicken.”

The containment condition of ACE-005 Da Fu is knowing its name, just like when Uncle Li Dong gave Da Fu to Qing Chen, Qing Chen temporarily lent this taboo item to Hu Xiaoniu to achieve identity concealment.

Actually, if the other side wasn’t certain that White Light Person was Joker, Qing Chen wouldn’t have been able to exonerate himself thoroughly for a while yet, but knowing thou permits him to clear suspicion more easily.
