Without wasting any more time, the man went forward and locked the cubicle door from the outside with a wire before turning and leaving.

……

Inside the museum at this moment.

The time was already 4:30 PM, and there was still more than half an hour until the notice deadline. The Royal Police officers present were even busier than before.

Everyone was vigilantly observing their surroundings, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

At the same time, the live stream room belonging to [Thief Game] was also opened, and 50 people flooded in in an instant, and it was still rising at an incredible speed, showing signs of breaking through one million people in the blink of an eye.

The chat room was buzzing with activity, filled with various languages ​​as everyone chatted about their own things.

"Holy crap! What am I seeing? There are already 80 people here? Is this 'Number Seven' really that popular?"

"I'm surprised too, bro. I thought watching high-quality replicas of Feng Shen was a niche thing, but I didn't expect this..."

"What are you talking about! It's been so long since Feng Shen has shown up. Now that someone with both the ability and the outfit is up to par, who else should we look at but him?"

"Feng Shen! I miss you!!!"

Of course, a considerable number of people did not focus their attention on this operation.

"It's Amya!!! My goddess!! I can't believe she actually came to the [Number Seven] operation site!"

"Princess Amya is still so beautiful after all this time."

"I still prefer Princess Sophie a little more; she's a cold and elegant lotus flower, I love her so much!!!"

"Hey? Who's that guy next to Amya? Why is he so close to Princess Amya? Does Amya have a boyfriend?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Didn't you see the sign in front of him? [Invited detective]!"

……

"What's the situation like in the surrounding area?"

Sophie had no time to pay attention to the mess in the live stream; she was focused on directing everyone present to minimize the risk of theft.

At the same time, her gaze lingered on the glass display case in front of her.

There was only one item in the glass display case: a jadeite with a purple gem in the center, which was also the item announced in the notice to be stolen—the Eye of Chronos.

The Royal Police officer sitting in front of the monitor didn't hesitate much after hearing Sophie's words and immediately replied:

"We have cleared out all major shopping malls and streets in the surrounding area to ensure that no one can move around here. The area within a two-kilometer radius is now under our surveillance, and we have not found anything unusual so far."

"Okay, continue to observe."

"It is Her Highness the Princess."

The Royal Police nodded seriously.

Sophie then looked away from the monitor and continued to examine other areas where there might be oversights.

Among the crowd, a person dressed in a Royal Police uniform had already blended in.

"What's wrong with you, Pete? Why are you taking so long to go to the bathroom!"

A person next to him muttered a complaint.

The man addressed as "Pete" immediately gave an apologetic smile: "Sorry, sorry, my stomach was a little upset, so it took a little longer than usual."

"You really have a lot of problems."

The person next to him muttered something else.

However, the Royal Police Captain, who was not far away, heard this and immediately gave him a stern look, telling him to be quiet.

Startled, he quickly shut his mouth and lowered his head to continue with what he was doing.

Chen Feng also noticed this person, but he didn't expose him, just like when he stood at the door of the bathroom stall earlier without pushing the door open.

"I'll be right back."

Chen Feng spoke softly to Amya.

"Now?" Amya was somewhat surprised.

"Correct."

Chen Feng nodded with a smile.

Amya seemed to have thought of something, and after a moment's thought, she didn't stop her. She nodded and said nothing more.

Chen Feng then walked out of the museum.

Just as Chen Feng was leaving, Sophie noticed him, but seeing that her older sister didn't react, she didn't say anything.

Chapter 371 Number Seven Appears

Outside the museum at this moment.

Hidden in a dark, inconspicuous corner, Shangguan Lin, dressed in dark clothes as if blending into the surrounding darkness, was vigilantly observing the situation in the direction of the museum.

"Fifteen minutes left..."

Looking at her watch, Shangguan Lin muttered to herself.

Then he looked up and scanned the area around the museum building.

There were no unusual circumstances at the scene, which is the best news so far, meaning they can proceed smoothly according to plan.

Ding--

A crisp tapping sound came through the headset.

This was the signal agreed upon by the group before the operation; a knock indicated that Number One, namely Shangguan Meng, had arrived at the designated location.

Immediately following were two consecutive taps in the earpiece, followed by three overlapping taps, indicating that Shangguan Xi and Lin Qingyao had arrived at their designated positions and were ready to act at any time.

Shangguan Lin breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this.

She looked down at her watch again, but just then, a gentle voice suddenly rang in her ear:

"Galcher time, 17:6 PM, only 4 minutes left until the announcement."

The sound came without warning, startling Shangguan Lin so much that she instinctively raised her arm and slammed it behind her.

A standard elbow strike.

However, the person next to her easily dodged it, and then a finger was placed in front of Shangguan Lin's lips.

"Shh—quiet down, ma'am, it wouldn't be good if those people in front saw us."

Upon hearing the voice again, Shangguan Lin trembled slightly and instinctively wanted to turn around. However, a Royal Police patrol of six people passing by forced her to stop all movement and remain quietly in place to avoid being discovered.

Fortunately, the patrol team did not find anything unusual and simply searched the surrounding area before leaving the vicinity.

Only after seeing the patrol team leave did Shangguan Lin turn around impatiently, only to see a completely unfamiliar face.

Chen Feng also noticed the subtle change in Shangguan Lin's expression. He smiled knowingly, reached out and ran his hand over her face, removing the human skin mask to reveal that familiar face and her signature gentle smile.

"It's been a long time, Miss Lin."

Shangguan Lin's red lips parted slightly, seemingly with an urge to pounce, but at the last moment, Shangguan Xi's face flashed through her mind, and she finally managed to suppress herself, instead revealing a smile:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"I originally came here just to watch the fun, but I didn't expect to see it here. I knew you were here."

Chen Feng looked up and gazed at a small white dove that had landed in front of the window.

Those were the ones Chen Feng gave to Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Xi before he left.

"Not only me, but your assistant, Qingyao, and Xiaomeng and Xiaoxi are also here..."

At this point, Shangguan Lin paused slightly, subtly taking a half-step back to create a small distance between herself and Chen Feng, and said softly:

“Xiao Xi…she misses you a lot. Although she hasn’t said it, I can tell. She can’t hide the look in her eyes that she’s never had before.”

"Ok?"

Chen Feng's face showed a hint of surprise. Although the two had just met, this brief contact made Chen Feng keenly aware that Shangguan Lin seemed to be inexplicably distant from him.

It was a deliberate distancing, a complete departure from how he was before he left.

However, before he could ask anything, the voices of the royal police from the surrounding streets of the Kingdom of Lorqing quickly came over.

"Phantom Thief Kid! Phantom Thief Kid has appeared!"

"Idiot, that's Number Seven! Number Seven has been spotted in Area Four. He's using a hang glider to move rapidly towards the museum!"

"Helicopter number one is ready. Shall we take off now?!"

"Helicopter number two is ready!"

"Number three..."

……

The surrounding environment became noisy in a short period of time.

At this moment, in the air.

A white figure streaked across the sky and, aided by a hang glider, moved at an incredible speed toward the museum.

As this figure appeared, countless comments flooded the live stream chat:

"Holy crap! He looks exactly like Lord Kid! He's practically a carbon copy of Feng Shen!"

"Could it be that Feng Shen has some kind of twin brother or something?"

"It's not impossible! The outfits, the movements, even the hang gliders are exactly the same!"

"husband!!!!"

……

As soon as this figure appeared, Shangguan Lin's gaze quickly turned serious. She stopped chatting with Chen Feng and instead carefully observed the surrounding situation, preparing to deal with any unexpected situations at any time.

Chen Feng was also looking up.

Hmm...it looks like it! Very much like it!
