"No one else has been detected in the forest. Could it be that Shadow got the person out and left? That he's not with Baqizi?"
Inside the task force's command room, operators watched the detector readings on the main screen, which showed a total of seventeen detected targets.
Thirteen members from the action team plus three from the Chosen Team made for exactly sixteen people. If Shadow was hiding somewhere, the count should have been seventeen.
"We'll just have to capture Baqizi first and see what happens."
"Switch to the action team's live feed."
Every member of the action team was equipped with a camera to broadcast the live combat situation.
This wasn't just for archival purposes; some ministers, and even the Divine Son, were to watch the battle with their own eyes.
After the switch, the screen immediately went dark.
"What's going on?"
"Is it blocked? Switch to another feed."
