Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Who on earth is so arrogant? Isn't this a provocation against the city builders?

Both the Great Guardian and the Quasi-Great Guardian treated the museum as a token of gratitude, handing over the management rights to the heroes who saved the planet, allowing them to make money effortlessly.

Now, things are really messed up. It seems unlikely that the museum will be able to open anytime soon, and even restoration would be a huge undertaking.

We don't even know how many of the remaining artifacts are left.

"That's outrageous...!"

Pera squatted down, soaked a towel in a basin of water, then took off her glasses and applied the wet towel to her face, cursing as she did so.

"Stealing cultural relics is one thing, but burning down a museum is another! It's simply outrageous."

Bronya, standing to the side, wrung out her towel; a few water droplets still clung to her hair. She had already washed her face.

"Pera, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but these artifacts... wait, what's that layer of light on their surfaces?"

"?"

Bronya paused for a moment upon hearing this, and also looked at the oil painting on the ground.

It was completely intact, which, besides Bronya's timely rescue, also seemed to be thanks to the light film on its surface.

"Hey, there are words on this."

After Pera put her glasses back on, she silently read the text above:

“This is Yan’s private property. The thief’s mother is dead.”

"..."

At this moment, Pera and Bronya looked at the other salvaged artifacts, which also appeared to be intact.

After reporting this discovery to Cocolia, the Iron Guards once again entered the charred ruins of the museum.

The artifacts that hadn't yet been taken out were almost all preserved intact.

The most amazing thing is that while the entire surrounding area of ​​an oil painting was burned down, the painting itself was still suspended in the air, protected by a light curtain.

……

Inside Cripper Castle.

Cocolia sat there, and her brow relaxed slightly after hearing the news that the artifacts were intact.

"Really? The executives are quite reliable."

March 7th called out to Yan Huan from below:

"Damn, are you being this cautious? You're really treating the museum like your private property!"

With his hands behind his back, Yan proudly declared:

"How about that? Pretty awesome, right? I bought these light films online. They're devices from some planet that's used to protect valuables. I can even track their location at any time."

Pera, standing to the side, quickly called out:

"Then what are you waiting for? Quickly find where the lost cultural relics are, so we can find the arsonist!"

"No."

"why?"

"because."

……

Chapter 166 The things that are unreasonable, no matter how you look at it, it must have been him who did them.

"Tell me why!!"

Seeing that Yan remained silent, Pera shook him and yelled:

"I hate riddle tellers and those who only tell fragments! Just say it already!!"

Yan was being rocked back and forth, and looked awkwardly at Pella in front of him:

"Because, no cultural relics were lost at all."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the entire Kripper Castle fell silent.

Everyone present was carefully considering the meaning behind Yan Huan's words.

Pera said somewhat uncertainly:

"You've already seen it? No, you haven't even been to the warehouse where the exhibits are temporarily stored. How did you know?"

Yan skillfully pulled out a tablet and handed it to Pera to look at:

"The dots on the screen locate all the exhibits in the museum, and they are all numbered. At least since the day I came to the museum, none of the museum's artifacts have been lost; they are all displayed on the screen. However, I don't know about the ones that were lost before I came."

Pera took it blankly, adjusted her glasses, and looked carefully at the screen.

Most of the dots on the screen were clustered together, while some were moving, seemingly being carried by the Iron Guards.

However, the location of the light spot is within a controllable range.

Bronya got down:

"In that case, could I borrow your tablet? I'd like to check the number and location of the artifacts."

After Yan nodded, Pera handed the tablet to Bronya.

After Bronya left with a squad of elite guards, Pera slowly spoke:

"If not a single cultural relic was lost, what was the arsonist's motive?"

At this moment, March 7th, who was standing to the side, spoke up:

"Is it possible that this fire was an accident? Like a child setting off firecrackers, or someone smoking a cigarette and carelessly littering it..."

Pera shook his head:

"impossible."

She said in a deep voice:

“I was inside at the time. If the fire had started for that reason, the guards stationed inside and outside should have noticed it in time.”

Previously, Jepard went to support the caravan and took a large number of Silvermane Iron Guards with him.

A large number of guards stationed at the museum were also transferred out, and Pella later replaced them with new recruits.

"Could it be that there's a mole among the new recruits?" Pera raised an eyebrow.

She vaguely remembered that when she escaped from the fire, guards were shouting that there were spies and that there were spies... The scene was chaotic.

"Then there must be a mole inside!"

March 7th held up one finger and said intently to Pera:

“When we arrived, I don’t know if the other two saw it, but I did! A large group of Iron Guards were chasing and fighting another group of Iron Guards. I even deliberately avoided them when I fired my arrows.”

After March 7th finished speaking, Cocolia, who was sitting up with her legs crossed, said in a deep voice:

“Indeed, a group of wounded Iron Guards have been sent for treatment. Why don’t we call them over and have the Executive treat them on the spot? We can also ask them what happened.”

March 7th clenched her small fists:

"Fine! I'd like to see who dares to take away the livelihood of the three giants of our train crew!"

……

About ten minutes later.

A large group of people carried in stretchers, laid the wounded Iron Guards one by one on the carpets of Kripper Castle, bowed to Cocolia, and then left.

Yan sat at Cocolia's desk, frowning as he stared at the group of Iron Guards below:

"That's quite a lot, and many of them are still unconscious. Did the arsonist really go all out?"

They burned down the museum, attacked the Silvermane Iron Guards, and disrupted security in Belleburg.

Burning down a museum alone would be enough to warrant the death penalty.

Cocolia silently observed the person sitting at her desk and spoke:

"If you have any questions, let's talk about them after they wake up."

Yan nodded and waved to his assistant, Dan Heng.

After Dan Heng gave the signal, he stepped forward with the Black Abyss White Flower and began treating the Iron Guards on each stretcher.

Assistant Number Two followed behind, observing those people.

"Almost all of these people have burns of varying degrees, and wait... some even have cuts like knife cuts. They've definitely been in a fight!"

Under the gaze of Yan and Cocolia, the Iron Guards slowly awoke.

He first looked around in confusion, then froze when he saw Pera and the others around him.

"Lord Pella, what's going on here..."

Pera began:

"Do you know how the fire at the museum started? Was someone impersonating the Iron Guard? Tell us quickly, your information is very important."

"Fire..."

"I'm sorry, Miss Pera, I was knocked unconscious by smoke while rescuing the artifacts, so I don't know the specifics. Let the other brothers answer."

"I...I saw it...the fire was set by one, no, by a group of Iron Guards!!"

The person speaking at this moment still had a scar on their face that was slowly healing under the power of the Black Abyss White Flower.

His eyes were piercing, and his words were sharp:

“They are new recruits who were transferred here, and we original guards are not familiar with them either.”

“Right during the shift change, I saw them carrying oil drums to the museum. At first, they said it was at the executive officer's behest, so I didn’t suspect anything. After all, no matter how unreasonable something is, it immediately seems reasonable once the executive officer is involved!”
