Global wonders have descended, and only I possess the treasure-hunting radar.

One person died and two were seriously injured.

Moreover, these are all high-end combat forces from headquarters.

Wang Yan dared not imagine how the headquarters' top management would react after learning this news.

On the other side, Shen Qingli didn't explain much and directly led Wang Yan deeper into the headquarters.

As he traveled, Wang Yan kept an eye on the system radar, hoping to find traces of the Faceless God.

A series of prompts kept flashing before my eyes.

All I can say is that the headquarters truly lives up to its name.

As he scanned the area, he saw many high-level rare items.

Unfortunately, Wang Yan did not find any trace of the Faceless God.

After passing three consecutive checks.

Wang and Yan finally arrived at their destination.

A hospital located deep within the headquarters.

The radar scan revealed at least dozens of S-class artifacts.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

He guessed this matter would alarm headquarters, but he didn't expect it to reach this level.

After entering the hospital and undergoing two more examinations, the two arrived at a ward.

At this moment, Yan Zhen's chest was wrapped in thick bandages, and he was leaning against the hospital bed, his face pale.

He was saying something to some people.

On the other bed next to him, another S-class weapon user was not yet fully awake.

Upon seeing Wang and Yan enter, the crowd parted to make way.

A middle-aged man with graying temples and wearing black-rimmed glasses came out and nodded to Shen Qingli.

"Comrade Shen Qingli, welcome back to headquarters."

Then the middle-aged man turned his gaze to Wang Yan.

"This person next to you must be Wang Yan, right?"

Shen Qingli was clearly surprised to see the person who came, and her speech became hesitant.

"Yes...yes, Director Zhang!"

Wang Yan's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this title.

Director Zhang.

For Shen Qingli to address someone in this way, the other person's status must be quite high.

After receiving confirmation from Shen Qingli, the middle-aged man walked up to Wang Yan and extended his hand.

"Hello, Comrade Wang Yan, my name is Zhang Zhiyan, and I am the deputy director of the Administration Bureau."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Wang Yan looked at the system radar, which displayed the strange items the other party possessed.

[A Class S artifact has been detected: the Mind-Reading Mirror.]

The Mirror of the Mind!

Upon seeing the name of this strange object, Wang Yan immediately understood what it meant.

The fact that this deputy director waited for him in the ward was definitely not just a simple greeting.

They must have known that Wang Yan had previously refused to participate in the extermination of the Faceless God.

They wanted to use this to test if he had any problems!

But how exactly is the test conducted? Is it completed the moment he is seen, or is it conducted through some other means?

Wang Yan, however, had no idea.

Looking at Zhang Zhiyan's outstretched hand.

Wang Yan knew that if he didn't shake hands at this moment, he would appear guilty.

In less than a second, I suppressed all the distracting thoughts in my mind.

He reached out and gently took Zhang Zhiyan's hand.

"Director Zhang, hello."

The moment their palms touched, a cool sensation seeped into Wang Yan's body through his palms.

It was as if they were trying to figure out what Wang Yan was thinking.

The detection was very fast; almost in the blink of an eye, the icy sensation disappeared from his body.

A very faint, strange light flashed in Zhang Zhiyan's eyes.

The next second, he released his grip and said with a smile, "Sorry, Comrade Wang Yan."

"These are extraordinary times, so I just used my artifact power on you."

The headquarters staff members inside the ward remained expressionless.

Clearly, they were already used to Zhang Zhiyan's approach.

Wang Yan did not show any dissatisfaction.

He simply said calmly, "I understand. Headquarters has lost an S-rank and seriously injured two others. It's normal to be cautious."

Zhang Zhiyan's smile deepened upon hearing this.

"Haha, heroes emerge from among the young!"

Wang Yan ignored the other person's praise and instead looked at Yan Zhen on the hospital bed.

Following Wang Yan's gaze, Zhang Zhiyan turned to look at Yan Zhen on the hospital bed.

His expression changed.

"Yan Zhen, was it this young comrade Wang Yan who warned you that your plan had problems?"

Yan Zhen remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

He is in very poor condition right now.

Physical injury.

The death of Fang Zhixia almost wiped out the entire team.

However, there are some problems.

More importantly, Wang Yan had previously pointed out that there were problems with the plan, but he didn't listen.

He attributed all the blame to his own incompetence as captain.

Seeing Yan Zhen's dejected appearance, Zhang Zhiyan's smile faded even further.

"Even a young man who hasn't completed the headquarters test can see that the intelligence is flawed and the plan is incomplete."

"You S-rank weapon wielders, with headquarters resources and support authority, are being led by the nose by the [Faceless God]?"

"Yan Zhen, have you been getting more and more senile over the years?!"

No one dared to speak in the ward.

Yan Zhen did not refute it.

Zhang Zhiyan's voice wasn't loud, but every word he uttered was heavy.

"Fang Zhixia's [Tianheng Compass] has side effects, which caused her to over-rely on the calculation results. She was tricked by the [Faceless God] and made a misjudgment. This can be considered as a reason for the battle losses, and it is understandable."

"But you're the captain! She's about to act immediately, why didn't you stop her right away?"

"The headquarters hasn't confirmed anything yet, so why are you leading the team out?"

Yan Zhen's lips moved, but in the end he only said in a low voice, "It's my problem."

Zhang Zhiyan sneered.

"Of course it's your problem!!"

"Fang Zhixia is dead, and another S-rank is still unconscious. You think you can bring them back to life just by saying it's my fault?"

Yan Zhen's expression turned even worse.

After reprimanding Yan Zhen, Zhang Zhiyan looked at Wang Yan again.

"Comrade Wang Yan, could you tell me why you judged that the plan to be problematic?"

Several pairs of eyes in the ward simultaneously fell on Wang Yan.

Yan Zhen also looked over.

He wanted to know the same thing.

"The Faceless God orchestrated the Jiangdong incident, clearly indicating that it is not an ordinary calamity, but a calamity with extremely high ambition and wisdom."

"Furthermore, the Hanged Saints are his loyal followers. If his position can be sold so easily, there are only two possibilities."

"First, the intelligence is false."

"Secondly, the intelligence is true, but it's a trap."

Zhang Zhiyan looked at him, then pointed at Yan Zhen.

"Listen to this! Listen carefully! You take your time to heal, I'm leaving now!"

After saying a few words to Shen Qingli, and instructing the medical staff to continue monitoring the injured, Zhang Zhiyan left with his men.

The pressure inside eased slightly the moment the ward door closed.

After closing the door, Zhang Zhiyan's expression changed instantly in the hospital corridor, and the anger on his face vanished without a trace.

His subordinate, following behind him, asked in a low voice, "Director Zhang, is there a problem with Wang Yan?"

Zhang Zhiyan pushed up his glasses, nodding and then shaking his head.

This left the subordinates standing nearby somewhat puzzled.

But the subordinates didn't dare to ask, so they just kept walking.

Zhang Zhiyan only spoke again when they reached the hospital entrance.

"Wang Yan has problems, but he is not involved in Fang Zhixia's death."

"When I used the Mind Observation Mirror to observe him, his mind was too empty, which was not right."

"There are two possibilities. First, he is just that kind of person. Second, he knew about the magical abilities that I had never revealed beforehand and did it on purpose."

"Whether it's one of these two, it means this person is not right."

"Keep a close eye on him and thoroughly investigate his history from birth. If we confirm he's healthy, we can give him the S-class artifact spot this time."

The subordinate was startled.

"But...but this time, the spots aren't..."

Zhang Zhiyan interrupted him coldly: "No need to say more. My mind is made up. I will explain this to the director and the others."

He paused, then added, "Also, thoroughly investigate the internal situation!"

"The fact that the Faceless God could set up a trap for Fang Zhixia and Yan Zhen means that rats have gotten into their house!!"

In the ward.

Shen Qingli looked at Yan Zhen with a very bad expression.

Yan Zhen paused for a moment before speaking.

"Wang Yan, I misjudged what happened before."

Wang Yan looked at him, unsure of what to say.

Yan Zhen gave a wry smile upon seeing this.

"You reminded us."

"But I still felt that with the three S-ranks from headquarters working together, even if there were traps there, they could still suppress [Faceless God]."

"As it turns out, I had underestimated the problem."

Instead of offering comfort, Wang Yan asked directly, "What exactly happened?"

Yan Zhen remained silent for a few seconds before beginning his debriefing.

"After we parted ways that day, I summoned another S-class weapon wielder."

"We were originally prepared to wait for the headquarters to conduct a second verification."

"But after Fang Zhixia used the [Tianheng Compass] to calculate, he said that the [Faceless God] would soon be moved."

"She judged that if they missed that window of opportunity, it would be very difficult to catch the Faceless God again."

Shen Qingli couldn't help but ask, "So you went?"
