In any case, they couldn't ignore the video since the one who sent the video to them was none other than Varant, one of the top three Warlocks of the country.
They couldn't turn a blind eye and disregard the message they received from them or else, they would be in trouble. Varant was very powerful and influential. They couldn't afford to offend him.
Since this facility was under the jurisdiction of General Maxwell, the government had also informed him about this.
An inquiry was being set up to investigate this matter which was going to involve high-ranking government officials. One of them happened to be General Maxwell himself.
Until the team came up with a comprehensive report about this incident, all the staff of the facility was going to be kept in isolation.
The government had already sent a team to fetch the staff of the Facility and arrest them.
No matter how fast the government acted, it still took them more than a day to decide on this course of action, unaware that this one day was going to be really crucial and could bring significant change for everyone.
....
Doctor Rao was sitting in his office with Doctor Layman. As for Doctor Min, he had asked for a transfer from this facility and had left long ago.
Of the three people who were in the room at the time of Lucifer's death, only two were left in the facility. Both of them were in the office at the moment, clueless about the impending danger that might come their way today.
Their expressions were not looking good after receiving some information. Their faces were painted with worries and concerns.
"Are you sure the information is correct? Is this just a rumor and a misunderstanding? Or does this piece of information come from a reliable source?" Doctor Layman asked as he looked in the eyes of Doctor Rao, trying to see if there was any hope for escape.
"It's true. General Maxwell called to inform me. A government team will soon be here to arrest us," Doctor Rao said with a discouraged whimper.
"But why are we being arrested? We were only doing our work. In any case, aren't we as scientists allowed to have human experiment casualties as per the guidelines, especially if it's for breakthroughs?" Doctor Layman asked.
"Do they want to use us as scapegoats now that this Varant is involved too?" He asked.
Doctor Rao shook his head, letting out a deep breath. He had lost count of how many times he sighed today after hearing the information from General Maxwell.
"They don't. I have confirmation from General Maxwell. This is all for show. We will be released after some time when this matter dies down. Until then, we will be kept in isolation," he answered.
"Huh? Does it mean we will not be punished? So why are you looking so gloomy? What's there to worry about?" Doctor Layman let out cheerfully as he heaved a sigh of relief.
"We aren't going to be punished. It's only a matter of time and we will be released in the end. We can just wait and endure the isolation for a while," he further added, smiling brightly.

However, Doctor Rao still couldn't help but worry about this turn of events even though General Maxwell already reassured him that everything was under control. He still had another concern in mind.
"We aren't going to be punished. You're right about that but that's not what I'm disappointed about. What I'm worried about is that I won't be able to continue my research during the time I stay in isolation. And even worse, this facility will be shut down," Doctor Rao said.
"This facility will be shut down?!! Wait a minute, I haven't thought about this. So what will happen to her? She still hasn't woken up," Doctor Layman called out, feeling a little bit problematic.
Doctor Rao heaved another deep sigh while massaging his temples.
"Sigh, I'm worried about that too. I can't take her with me or let that part of this facility be exposed or else, we will be put in a big mess. That's why I've decided to leave her behind even when the facility is closed. After I'm out of isolation, I will come back and resume everything." Doctor Rao told him the only solution he could think of as of now.
"What about all our research? Even though it's for show only, the government team might actually try to go through our research to make sure that we are not doing anything more. They might find out about our secret research operation if the team will further investigate us." Doctor Layman said, sharing his concern with him.
"I've thought about that as well. Don't worry. I've destroyed all research data related to that from the system. As for all the papers related to that, I've kept that in the lab where she is," Doctor Rao answered.
"No one will know about that lab so no one can find those documents," he added.
"Clever. So you've thought about everything already," Doctor Layman said, grinning.
"Of course. I'm always thinking of two steps ahead," Doctor Rao answered with a prideful look on his face.
"The only thing I can't understand is how that footage of our lab leaked? Did the APF actually hack the government database or someone from our team here gave them the footage?" He wondered. "I doubt those people would hack. In any case, if it's hacked, it would soon be out."
"Do you think Doctor Min could have leaked the footage? He left after that incident and he was seemingly pretty upset that we didn't listen to him," Doctor Layman said, raising his suspicion against Doctor Min.
"I don't know about that but if it is discovered that it was him, I will make sure that he suffers," Doctor Rao said as a cold glint flashed through his eyes. He would not forgive anyone who tried to betray him.
....
Varant had sent the message to the government about that video, coercing them to take action. Even though he had done all that, he realized that the action was going to take time.
He had also managed to put the pieces together and understood that even though Lucifer had escaped from their grasp, it would just be a matter of time and they would cross paths again with him.
He somehow figured out Lucifer's goal. His target was still the same~ attacking the facility and getting revenge against those scientists who made him suffer to death.
That was the best clue they had for now on how they were able to track and trace Lucifer. He believed that Lucifer would certainly show up in the facility.
Varant also had an assumption that Lucifer wasn't going to be alone when he came there. He had a feeling that his old enemies were helping him. His main concern right now was that his enemies would try to use Lucifer for their own gains and benefits.
Since he believed that Variant Uprising was going to help Lucifer, he needed to put more effort in catching Lucifer before their plan comes to fruition.
