End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

Although both Jeremy and Kean were heading toward the abandoned cathedral, Jeremy and his companions had started their journey earlier. As a result, they arrived at the cathedral half an hour before Kean.

By the time Jeremy and his team reached the abandoned cathedral, the site had undergone significant changes.

The Person in the Mirror had thoroughly removed all the clues that had previously been left behind. Even the overall structure of the cathedral had been altered. Stay updated through empire

When Jeremy arrived and took in the sight, his expression darkened considerably.

"It seems we won't find any useful clues here," he said grimly. "Kean and The Person in the Mirror have already wiped out everything. I should've acted sooner!"

His voice was heavy with regret as he spoke. Jeremy couldn't shake the feeling that, had he moved faster, he might have discovered some crucial evidence. Now, everything had been erased by his enemies.

Liam and Ritchie, however, weren't as discouraged as Jeremy. Without wasting time, they began searching the area around the abandoned cathedral for anything useful.

Before long, Liam discovered an abandoned scroll in one of the corners of the cathedral. The scroll radiated a powerful solar energy.

As soon as Liam examined it, he was certain that one of The Sun's subordinates had been present in this location. Excited by the find, Liam rushed over to Jeremy, holding the scroll.

"I found this scroll in one of the corners. Do you think we can use it to trace its previous owner? If we can, we might be able to locate Bonnie directly."

Liam's suggestion had merit. After all, most scrolls carried residual information from their owners, which could potentially be used to track them.

Jeremy carefully examined the scroll, his expression serious. However, after a thorough inspection, he realized that much of the residual information on the scroll had been erased.

"Even if we use divination, it's impossible to pinpoint the owner's current location with this," Jeremy concluded. "This scroll won't be of much use to us. We should focus on finding clues elsewhere."

Just as Jeremy finished speaking, the distant roar of a helicopter echoed through the air. Moments later, a helicopter appeared overhead, hovering above the abandoned cathedral.

Instead of landing, the team aboard the helicopter chose to jump down directly from midair. These individuals were members of the rescue team dispatched by Military Headquarters.

Leading the group was the team captain, a highly skilled Apocalypse Game player from Military Headquarters.

When Jeremy saw the rescue team members, his expression remained neutral. He recognized that these individuals were not his enemies.

However, when the last person jumped down from the helicopter, Jeremy's expression instantly twisted into a fierce snarl.

The moment he recognized the person, Jeremy gripped his Mortal Combat weapon and launched an attack.

The last individual to jump from the helicopter was none other than Kean.

Jeremy's sudden action shocked everyone present. Liam was too late to stop him, while the members of the rescue team immediately stepped in to defend Kean.

The rescue team captain swiftly deployed a tool, trapping Jeremy within a slow zone, a space that significantly reduced his movements.

Kean stood calmly in place, smiling faintly as he watched the enraged Jeremy struggle.

Jeremy and Kean, bound by a history of deep-seated hatred, erupted into conflict the moment they crossed paths. Jeremy, unaware of the trap Kean had set for him, acted impulsively and attacked in a fit of rage.

Kean, however, remained composed. He had other plans to execute and needed to stay in control of the situation.

"I don't know what kind of grudge exists between the two of you," the rescue team captain said sternly, addressing both Kean and Jeremy. "But I'll remind you that it's not the time or place for this. Our mission is to rescue Bonnie, and everything we do must serve that purpose!"

With that, the captain deactivated his tool, allowing Jeremy to escape from the slow zone.

Even as he regained his freedom, Jeremy's fiery glare remained fixed on Kean.

"Bonnie's disappearance is because of Kean!" Jeremy spat angrily. "If you let him join us in searching for her, it will only make finding her even less likely!"

Jeremy, of course, did not want to engage in conflict with the members of the rescue team, so he quickly tried to explain himself. However, the members of the rescue team didn't believe his explanation at all. From their perspective, Kean had been consistently helping them, while it was Jeremy who was interfering with their efforts to rescue Bonnie.

The captain of the rescue team wore a slightly helpless expression. He sighed deeply and slowly spoke, "I understand that you have your own views, Jeremy. I also know that you and Bonnie share a very close relationship. I can understand your desire to rescue her as quickly as possible. But I hope you realize that, given the current situation, we shouldn't be fighting among ourselves. Since you've come to the abandoned cathedral, it means you believe there might be a clue about Bonnie here. So why can't we work together? If we find a clue, doesn't that bring us one step closer to finding Bonnie?"

The captain spoke with a sense of reason and calm conviction. His words made sense, and Jeremy, after hearing them, decided not to continue arguing. He nodded in agreement and said, "Fine. We'll do things your way. We've already been searching here for a while, and all we've found is this scroll. We haven't found any other clues."

With that, Jeremy handed the scroll to the captain of the rescue team.

As the captain examined the scroll, Jeremy added, "But I don't think this scroll should be given to Kean. I don't trust him. After you've looked it over, just relay the information to him. That's all."

When Kean heard this, he merely sneered. He wasn't concerned with Jeremy's actions at all. In fact, in Kean's mind, the trap he had set hadn't been triggered yet.

The captain of the rescue team examined the scroll that Liam had found. While the scroll certainly contained the power of the Sun, and he could confirm that it was definitely linked to one of the Apocalypse Game planners, the captain felt that it had no direct connection to the missing Bonnie.

After a moment of careful inspection, he spoke again, "This scroll… it has the power of the Sun, no doubt about it. But as for Bonnie, I don't see how this could be linked to her disappearance. This is something tied to the Apocalypse Game—but not Bonnie herself."

"I don't think this scroll provides us with any useful information," the captain of the rescue team said as he handed the scroll back to Jeremy. He then gave instructions to his team. "Let's split up and go inside the abandoned cathedral to search for more clues."

As the members of the rescue team began to move out, the captain turned back toward Kean.

"I don't know how intense the conflict between you and Jeremy is," he said, his tone serious, "but I want to make one thing clear: don't get into a fight with him, especially not in this situation. I expect you to keep your cool."

The captain's impression of Kean was far from favorable. He wasn't one of the Lannisters, so he had no reason to be overly polite to Kean.

Kean smiled and nodded. "You don't need to worry about that. I'll make sure to avoid any conflict with Jeremy. After all, I'm the one who genuinely wants to rescue Bonnie."

With Kean's promise in hand, the captain also made his way inside the abandoned cathedral.

The captain didn't expect to find anything of value inside the cathedral. After all, the cathedral was located within the city of Capital. What kind of secret would be hidden here that would be connected to The Person in the Mirror or the planners of the Apocalypse Game?

If there were a secret base of The Person in the Mirror here, it would mean that the security situation in Capital was already beyond dire. The city would be in a state of total collapse.

The captain of the rescue team didn't search too thoroughly; he was mostly just waiting for his team members to return.

Before the rescue team members came back, Ritchie suddenly rushed out from an underground passage, his face pale with fear.

"There are some incredibly powerful monsters underground!" Ritchie said breathlessly to Jeremy. "I'm not strong enough to take them down!"

Ritchie's words were heard by four people: Jeremy, Liam, the captain of the rescue team, and Kean.

The reactions from the four were very different.

Jeremy and Liam immediately became very serious. They both understood the importance of finding key clues in the abandoned cathedral, and if monsters had appeared, it could very well mean that something important had been uncovered.

The captain of the rescue team, however, was more skeptical. He wasn't entirely convinced that there were powerful monsters deep inside the cathedral. He immediately thought that Ritchie's strength was simply insufficient to deal with whatever was down there.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Kean, on the other hand, wore an expression of surprise, but inwardly, he was very pleased. The monsters in the cathedral were part of the trap he had set. Their purpose was to create chaos and force a confrontation between Jeremy and the rescue team.
