Chapter 2811 The Last Three Days
Since Levi had personally hinted about the four targets, Black Hawk naturally did not have any doubts about it due to his immense trust in the former.
It might have been an entirely different story if Shield was the one who made the discovery. Nonetheless, since the lead was from Levi and coupled with how the search results had matched well, Black Hawk had no reservations about its authenticity.
Needless to say, the information of the four targets would obviously fit in well with Dr. Erebus since he had specially enlisted them as his substitutes.
There was no way Shield could grow suspicious.
What followed was for them to track down that four targets.
Meanwhile, a hype resulted shortly after Death Fiend put the information up for sale.
Countless people were fighting to lay their fingers on it.
Major forces also began searching based on the four targets.
Upon learning about the reactions of the various forces and Shield, Dr. Erebus was on cloud nine.
Seems like those substitutes have been put to great use! That’ll buy me some time. By the time they find out the truth, it’ll be at least three days later. And for them to repeat the entire process, it’ll take them another four to five days. But while they’re doing so, I’d have completed my plan! Besides, since all eyes are on me, no one will learn about Digital God’s existence. When the time comes, I’ll divert everyone’s attention while Digital God works on that matter. We’ll be able to pull everything off without everyone noticing! Success will be definite!
With how things progressed, Dr. Erebus finally could heave a sigh of relief.
Success was merely a possibility prior to this.
However, it was not the same now.
Since his method had worked, it had tremendously aided him in delaying everyone’s speed.
At this point, success was definite.
And for the following three days, various forces were in a frenzy searching.
In truth, the four of them—Yaleview’s coroner, Elias Ashby, Norham’s cancer specialist, Lincoln Madden, Jazona’s orthopedist, Axel Grayson, and professor of Stellar International Medical Institute, Ezekiel Miller—were in Dr. Erebus’ plans ever since the existence of the Lab of Gods.
He had prepared to enlist them as his substitutes in times of emergency, just like the current one.
The four of them were more than suitable to be used as substitutes because not only did they have plenty of background information for others to investigate on, but they were also suspicious enough.
Many had their eyes on the four targets, and eventually, they began digging out all information about the four. For instance, their ancestors, minute details like the exact spots they had peed at when they were young, things they had done before, every transaction they had spent on, and where they spent it since birth.
And without saying, even people whom they had interactions with were also investigated.
Shield had spent so much effort on it, and many began grumbling about it.
They reckoned it was an equally viable option to capture the four targets for questioning instead of going to such troubles.
They found that delving into redundant details was purely ridiculous and illogical.
But when Smythe learned about it, he was nothing but full of reproach.
He believed that if Dr. Erebus was driven to a corner and had everything to lose, the consequences would be so dire that no one would be able to afford it.
For that reason, he was firmly against the idea of resorting to extreme measures.
Smythe’s logic instantly enlightened everyone, allowing them to picture how big a threat Dr. Erebus actually was.
The only thing they could do was to continue searching diligently.
Like them, the other major forces were doing the same.
Their motive was simple—to make Dr. Erebus join them willingly, or they would hold him captive. But either way, they wanted him alive.
If Dr. Erebus was desperate and, as a result, chose to take his own life, all their efforts would go down the drain.
As such, various forces had to be extra careful.
No one dared take to any extreme methods.
The active investigations by various forces had left both Dr. Erebus and Levi extremely satisfied as that had helped buy them some precious time.
That said, Levi’s side was making swift progress in their search.
He had precluded Jazona and Adonia from his consideration and set his sights on Norham.
“If I’m not mistaken, Dr. Erebus is at Norham. If he isn’t, that’ll only mean that the fact that we’ve assumed he’s a doctor or a medical-related position is wrong from the start. I hope we’re in the right direction!”
Subsequently, Levi and his team began scanning every hospital in Norham.
