I Have A Dual World Seal

"Hmm?"

Not only Lu Zheng but even Lin Wan heard it clearly.

Lin Wan glanced back at them, and with a quick flick of her eyes, she casually cast a tracking talisman that attached itself to the leader of the group.

Lu Zheng didn’t turn his head, "Who are they?"

Lin Wan shook her head, "Can’t tell, logically they shouldn’t be artifact thieves; they wouldn’t dare mess with national-level museums."

Shen Ying remarked with interest, "You don’t say, they’re walking and watching, occasionally chatting, and their disguise is quite convincing."

"Let’s tour our section first, and if we’re interested, we’ll follow them when we leave," said Lu Zheng.

"Okay!" Lin Wan nodded, the most intrigued being her.

Thus, they continued up to the second floor.

For those interested, a museum is like a treasure; for those who aren’t, it’s just a few hours of sightseeing, something novel.

Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan were merely there for novelty, while Si Lingxi, although interested, viewed rapidly, her divine thought sweeping over everything, acquiring all the details she needed to know.

Lu Zheng exclaimed, "Whoa, so many mummies of the Pharaohs."

In his previous few artifact deliveries, he always found chances to send them to places that were easy to locate. He had never thoroughly toured the Pyramid Museum before, and upon entering the hall to explore, he realized there were so many mummies displayed.

The Hua Country Museum also has artifacts that came from tombs, but they never display dead bodies in the exhibit halls. It’s just a cultural difference.

Not Liu Qingyan or Shen Ying, even Si Lingxi wasn’t interested in those mummies; what she was intrigued by were the items from that era.

From these items, she could understand the civilization and culture of the Ancient Pharaoh Country.

...

There’s no denying that the Pyramid Museum is quite large. Even if just browsing leisurely, it took them several hours to walk through it from start to finish.

After exiting, they turned left and found a relatively clean local restaurant, ordering some local food such as the famous Koshari, grilled pigeon, lemon chicken skewers, and more. Though not exactly what they preferred, trying something new once in a while isn’t unmanageable.

Lu Zheng sipped on a glass of lemonade, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the blue sky, and remarked, "The weather’s really nice!"

Blue skies, white clouds, moist air, no wonder this place could develop the Ancient Pharaoh civilization.

Speaking of which, Lu Zheng shifted the topic, "Where are those people now?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan pinched a Seal Technique in her hand, sensed the location of the tracking talisman, and then pointed south, "Just one kilometer away."

...

In a suite at a hotel, a group of people gathered; some fiddling with small items, others operating laptops.

The leader, distributing paper documents to everyone, said, "This is the architectural layout of the Pyramid Museum, showing all the exit paths."

"This is the map of traffic routes around the Pyramid Museum, but I don’t think we’ll need it because it’s too chaotic."

"Our target is on the second floor, in a separate exhibition room named ’Stolen Overseas Artifacts Display’. "

"This is a big job; several old families in Europe have collectively put out a bounty to recover artifacts stolen by a notorious thief."

"Besides us, six other teams have accepted the task, and we’ve already agreed to act together tonight."

"If there’s an emergency, someone will create an accident on the main roads to delay the police."

"Several trucks are ready; once we receive the goods, we’ll drive directly to the north side of the city by the Nile River Shore, where speedboats await us to head straight out to the Mediterranean Sea."

"Three teams of mercenaries have already entered the city, ready as a delaying force anytime."

"This is going to make quite a commotion, must shock the world, right?"

"Definitely! Pharaoh Country might protest, won’t they?"

"What good would that do? These items were originally stolen by the artifact thief, not properly obtained; they won’t return them to the original owner, and they even put them on display."

"Hehe..."

"Hehe, my foot. I know it’s nonsense, but the bounty is ten million; are you going to take it?"

"Taking it!"

"Then that’s settled. If there are no suggestions, then everyone prepare for action tonight!"

"Boss, there’s one thing."

"What?"

"Since this operation has backing from big shots, and a clear target, can we... go for Tutankhamun’s wealth? It’s priceless after all..."

"Are you crazy? Tutankhamun’s wealth is the centerpiece artifact of the Pyramid Museum. If it gets stolen, Pharaoh Country would escalate it to the United Nations, and even those big shots wouldn’t be able to protect us!"

"What if we sell it to those big shots?"

"Aren’t you afraid of being silenced?"

"Er..."

"Enough, don’t even think about such things; only take what we can handle, got it?"

"Okay, boss."

...

In the corner of the restaurant, Lu Zheng blocked out external sounds, using the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror to broadcast live while using Divine Thought and Magical Power to capture what was being said.

"So it’s the aftermath of the last incident?" Lu Zheng smacked his lips, "They’re pretty bold, daring to steal from a national-level museum; are they filming a movie?"

Even if Pharaoh Country is weak, it’s still a country and considered a regional power, how could they tolerate such provocation?

"But those old families aren’t weak either," Lin Wan remarked calmly, "Moreover, they hold significant political influence. Remember, even Military Intelligence Five, Military Intelligence Bureau, and the CIA can be used by them to do the dirty work."

"So Pharaoh Country will just accept its misfortune?"

"Not really, but as long as there’s no direct evidence, it’s just mutual blaming. Those families aren’t the least bit afraid of that; they control the narrative."

Lin Wan shook her head and said, "And as time passes, the event’s spotlight will naturally fade. These items aren’t officially recognized, so eventually, it’s quite easy to legitimize them."

"Then what should we do? Call Pharaoh Country’s police station anonymously?" Liu Qingyan suggested.

"That’s too dull." Shen Ying laughed, egging them on, "Pharaoh Country’s mummies are so famous; they’ve even made several movies about them. If we don’t let them witness it, wouldn’t those films have been pointless?"

"Huh?" Liu Qingyan was bewildered.

Lu Zheng pondered for a moment, nodded, and smiled, "It’s not impossible."

"Exactly! Simply viewing scenery and artifacts is boring," Shen Ying chuckled, "It’s much more fun to mess with them a bit."

Seeing the people in the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror starting to prepare, Lu Zheng and the others settled the bill, then left the restaurant.

It was still early, so they weren’t in a hurry; they continued wandering around the museum, quickly finding other teams involved.

By evening, they comfortably sat on the hotel room’s balcony, stocked with various snacks and drinks, pulling out the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror for Lin Wan while the others prepared to watch as Shen Ying took charge of tonight’s show.
