Chapter 339 -178: Cause and Effect_2

The US military officer named Bolton was stunned for a moment before loudly issuing orders through the communicator, “All personnel, please take note: proceed to the Louvre Museum immediately to retrieve the task target, the task target is extremely important, and we must recover it.” After a pause, he remembered something and added, “Those searching for the Destroyer on the Seine River should not participate, continue the search for the Destroyer’s whereabouts in the river section.”

The Louvre Museum was inundated with floodwaters, drowning countless artworks, and only the French military officer Alain truly felt heartache. Alain first issued an order to the Louvre’s security forces to stop pursuing the enemy and start rescuing the artworks, then immediately reported the sudden incident to the President of France. With the soaking and scouring by floodwaters, the Louvre was bound to lose many items in its collection, a responsibility no one could bear. If not handled properly, even the French President could be ousted by the angry public. Therefore, Alain had to take precautions to avoid becoming the scapegoat for the incident.

The others seated around the round table were not French. They were only responsible for setting up a trap in the Louvre to capture the Destroyer, so they didn’t care much about the loss of artworks inside the Louvre. The American officer Bolton was more concerned about the safety of the items used as bait and was indifferent to the incident at the Louvre. However, he was very aware of the rusted disc’s properties, knowing it was extremely hard and would not be destroyed by soaking in water. As long as his people found that warehouse and retrieved it, that was all that mattered, so he was not particularly anxious.

The British famous detective named Robin spoke, “Although the flooding of the Louvre Museum has occurred, this is simply due to the Museum’s lack of maintenance over the years and has nothing to do with our operation inside the Louvre. As for the alteration of the surveillance system footage, it was caused by the computer expert of the Blue Fox Thieves Group, which does not significantly impact us. Thus, from the current standpoint, our operation is still proceeding very smoothly.”

The French General named Alain was somewhat angry at Robin’s nonchalance, yet the cause was the Louvre’s own, and so he couldn’t blame the Americans or the British. With some passive-aggression, he said, “Mr. Robin, I was sent by the President himself to assist you in your operation. However, you have been excluding me from your decision-making circle under the pretext of confidentiality, and I really don’t know what exactly you are doing here. Now it seems your actions have achieved their effect, could you tell me, the host, about your operation plan?”

Seeing the curious expressions on the faces of the few people around, Robin felt somewhat proud and said, “The origin of this matter is due to the videos that the Destroyer uploaded on the Internet after annihilating the Assassin Sect. As everyone knows, the Destroyer uploaded two videos, the first showing the destruction of the Assassin Sect, which is not greatly related to us. We are more concerned about the second video, for the mosaicked second video showing the massacre of a bearded man was filmed inside the Assassin Sect’s Scripture Depository.”

Seeing that everyone showed interest, Robin continued, “Everyone should have seen that video. Some areas in the video were censored with mosaic. Yet, the mosaic technology in the video was very advanced, covering all the key parts, preventing us from knowing what exactly is inside the Scripture Depository. But through reverse reasoning and a process of elimination, I deduced that one of the objects covered by mosaic is likely the unique long whip weapon used by the first Old Man of the Mountains. Historical records state that with that long whip, the Old Man of the Mountains wreaked havoc everywhere and left a mighty reputation. The long whip is covered in rust and extremely heavy. It is indestructible, hence we suspect it to be a special item. After the demise of the first Old Man of the Mountains, the whip disappeared into the annals of history and had not been seen again until we spotted it in the Assassin Sect’s Scripture Depository.”

Some people seated around the round table were hearing about special items for the first time and promptly focused their attention, listening to Robin explain further.

“I believe everyone understands the importance of special items by now. They seem to be components of an unknown item, scattered across the world for unknown reasons. Although no one knows where these special items come from, everyone knows that they contain some sort of high-tech technology. With Earth’s current technological level, we are unable to fully decipher the high-tech technology contained within special items, but ongoing research into them has yielded some useful results, significantly advancing the technology of the countries that own them. Thus, the more special items a country possesses, the more advanced its technological level. We later speculated that these special items were probably left behind by a prehistoric civilization or an alien civilization on Earth. However, these special items are extremely scarce, and each one is invaluable.”

Robin continued, “Based on our analysis, the Destroyer who easily annihilated the Assassin Sect is likely not working alone; he must be a member of a large organization, supported by its collective power. The fact that he censored the long whip weapon in the video indicates his awareness of the whip’s uniqueness and its importance. The American soldiers who later entered the Scripture Depository did not find the long whip, so it must have been taken by the Destroyer back to his organization. Once we learned that the long whip, which might be a special item, was taken by the Destroyer, we began to band together to locate him. Then, through the Destroyer, we aimed to find his organization and retrieve the whip from it. Given the organization is aware of the special items’ significance, they might have previously researched them, and their headquarters might even have more special items. So, by finding that organization, we may gain access to more special items. Once we seize the special items, they will be distributed among the participating parties. If the number of special items is insufficient for one per person, then we will take turns studying these special items, ensuring no party is at a disadvantage.”
