The shouts of encouragement shook the entire police station slightly.

Then, police cars drove out one after another, sirens blaring through the sky. Looking at the dense crowds standing on both sides of the road, the police officer driving the car couldn't help but curl his lips, "Why are there so many people here to watch the fun? The difficulty was directly raised by these people!"

When there are a lot of ordinary people, even if they really want to take action, they have to restrain their hands. It is not a big deal if they hurt people from their own country, but if they hurt people from other countries who come to travel and watch the fun, especially people from powerful countries, not only will the matter not be resolved, but they will also have to spend a lot of money on various kinds of compensation.

Moreover, those thieves may even directly infiltrate the surrounding crowd, or no one can guarantee whether there are helpers of the thief among the surrounding people.

"So, these people watching the fun are really unbearable."

Sadla smiled. This is what they wanted. Otherwise, how could the thieves succeed so often? In the end, human nature was also something they took advantage of.

When Zhao Ruonan and Liu Xiu came to this street, the surrounding sidewalks were already full of pedestrians watching the excitement. Looking at the dense crowd and then looking at the surrounding alleys, Zhao Ruonan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Let's walk on a road that ordinary people wouldn't walk on." After saying that, she pulled Liu Xiu and ran towards the empty alley.

Isn't it just a little bit of running cool? No problem.

Thanks to Zhao Ruonan's identity as a member of the psychic special operations forces and the knowledge she possessed, he was able to escape the blockade of most ordinary police officers and bring Liu Xiu closer to the Cairo Museum. However, as the number of police officers increased, this sneaky approach naturally could not be sustained, so he could only turn to climbing to the roof.

Combined with the military binoculars in his hand, this position is not bad at all. At least it is much better than those situations where people are crowded and it looks like a pile of heads at first glance.

There are many cases of people losing items simply because there are so many people and they are so crowded, not to mention those professional thieves and pickpockets hiding among them. I think the police in Cairo will not be able to relax after today, and they will start catching thieves like crazy.

Then, looking at the setting sun gradually sinking into the desert, Zhao Ruonan smiled, "It looks like the opponent's action is about to begin. Let's see if the Egyptian police can stop the attack of this thief."

In the museum, Chris frowned and loosened his hand from the last small object. Although he saw some suspicious people, overall he could not be considered to have caught the possible thief. After all, although those people were suspicious, all their actions were within the range of normal people.

As for the situation in the more distant past, it is no longer clear, which makes Chris wonder whether the so-called Phantom Thief had already been there earlier than they imagined. If so, the Phantom Thief's background must be even more terrifying than they imagined.

On the other side, the man who was as bright as the sun touched his chin, and for once he frowned slightly. The abilities that could be obtained by using the emperor's privileges were not unique to some heroes. In other words, these were skills and levels that could be achieved through acquired efforts. With just these skills and existing levels, he could not find any particularly useful information.

However, at that time, many possible locations of the thief were deduced, as well as the exit when he left in the end, on the premise that the thief really sneaked in and did not use superpowers.

"I knew it wasn't that simple... How could someone who stole my mummy be caught so easily? If I underestimate these thieves, am I also underestimating myself?"

Near a distribution box near the museum, a black hand wearing special gloves slowly stretched out, and then installed a time bomb into the distribution box.

Then the people hiding here quickly left. After a while, the distribution box exploded, and not only the street where the museum was located, but the entire area began to gradually lose lights.

As street lamps went out one after another, chaos began to occur among the ordinary people gathered there, and the already noisy and difficult to manage area became even more chaotic.

Zhao Ruonan, who was standing on the roof, whistled softly. She didn't expect that the thief in the prophecy would play such a big game. The surrounding helicopters and searchlights had already cast all their lights on the museum.

At the same time, the police officer in the museum immediately notified other people present to use the backup generator. Sadra nodded quickly and ran towards the backup generator that had been prepared long ago. As long as the backup generator was started, all the electrical facilities in the entire museum could be used normally. Otherwise, only some mechanisms could operate as usual.

The man as bright as the sun stood up silently and walked towards the place where he had previously deduced that the thief appeared, and the purple-haired girl followed closely behind him.

Xia Yan, who was watching the live broadcast on TV in the hotel, couldn't help but sit up straight.

Chapter 33: Subsequent Events

Next is the exciting moment, it’s about to begin!

[Ding, you have a new prophecy, please check it out~☆ (deleted)]

Xia Yan was just about to take a good look at how the situation developed when he was suddenly startled by the system's voice. He seemed to have seen some special symbols out of the corner of his eye, but when he looked at them now, there was only one line, "You have a new prophecy, please check it out." Xia Yan couldn't help but rub his eyes.

I shouldn't be dazzled, right? Didn't this notification just now come with a strange symbol that gave me a subtle sense of déjà vu?

"System, let me ask you if you have been infected with the virus?"

[How could the system be infected with a virus? The system just wants to remind the host that a new prophecy has been released. Please check it as soon as possible.]

Xia Yan raised his eyebrows and moved his eyes down from the TV to look at the virtual screen projected by the system in front of him. The events on the screen seemed to be a continuation of the prediction made not long ago. This made Xia Yan's heart skip a beat. His inexplicable premonition was indeed correct. How could the system only issue a forecast for such a small thing?

Maybe I didn't even watch the whole incident on the plane.

However, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the system was a little different from what I had imagined. Perhaps my system was far more intelligent than I thought. Moreover, the special symbols that appeared just now like an illusion always gave me a very familiar sense of déjà vu.

However, the system seemed to know what Xia Yan was thinking and did not give him any more time to think. A sound was heard from the virtual screen, attracting all of Xia Yan's attention.

It was an endless desert. An off-road vehicle was speeding in the desert. The dust and sand on it covered a small area of ​​the sky. And there was not just one thief sitting in the car, but four people in total. Perhaps because of the change in reality, the prophecy also changed to a certain extent.

There was a large area of ​​ruins in the direction the car was heading. At this moment, in the dim desert, there was a faint glow of fire in the ruins. It was strange to say that the sky was covered with dark clouds. You know, it was not a simple event for so many dark clouds to gather in this vast desert.

What's more, although these dark clouds gathered here, it didn't look like there was going to be a rainstorm. It only made the place seem more depressing and terrifying. The terrifying cyclone turned the dark clouds into a vortex, and the center of the vortex was the ruins not far away.

The thief, wearing a red suit and an abstract clown mask, was playing with a small box in his hand and humming an unknown ballad. A woman next to him put a facial mask on her face, then looked at the scenery in front of her, curled her lips and lit a lady's cigarette, "This place is really remote."

"This is a relic that was discovered not long ago. Of course it's remote. Shouldn't this relic be under government protection? Are we asking for trouble? But it doesn't look like it. Hey, sense the life ahead. At such a distance, although we don't know the specific distribution, we can still sense how many people are ahead."

The middle-aged man with black gloves and scars on his face nodded slightly. There was only a thin slit where his eyes were, and there were traces of being sewn with silk thread on the slit. There was no doubt that this man was blind, but with special abilities, he could perceive the surrounding situation much more clearly than people with eyes.

The middle-aged man took off his black gloves and opened his hands towards the distance. Then a strange expression appeared on his calm face. He even sat up straight and waved his hands, as if he was repeatedly confirming the results of his detection.

The man wearing the abstract clown mask took a deep breath. He had discovered the special situation of his partner. "Just tell us. We trust your judgment."

The blind man slowly sat down and took a breath. His tone was full of weirdness. "I don't sense the breath of any living person."

The man wearing the abstract clown mask drove a little slower, "Huh?"

There was no sign of a living person. What kind of joke was this? Could it be that all the living people were dead, or had these guys evacuated from here? Now the clowns didn't know whether they should continue to move forward to approach their target.

At this moment, the Joker's phone suddenly rang. After hesitating for a moment, the Joker answered the call.

[You are going so slowly. I have already seen your car. Please speed up and deliver the goods to the destination. We will settle the payment then.]

The call was hung up immediately after he finished speaking. The Joker glanced at his teammates, clenched his fists, and then pretended to be relaxed and explained, "It's possible that they used some high-tech electronic product to see us. The reward should have been placed at the target location. When the time comes, we just need to drop the item and take it away. The rest of the reward has nothing to do with us."

The others also smiled in the same way. After all, this seemed to be the only appropriate explanation now.

"That's right, let's settle the money and goods as soon as possible."

So the off-road vehicle, which had slowed down, once again accelerated and rushed into the ruins in the distance, heading towards the ruins in the center. In the very center of the ruins, flames flickered constantly.

A figure with a wooden mask on his face and a linen robe on his body was standing in the middle of the ruins, holding a staff taller than his body in his hand. In front of him was a building like an altar that was glowing. He raised his hands high, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be listening to this man's orders.

"It's almost there! Our long-cherished wish will come true!"

The video came to an abrupt end here, and a title gradually appeared: [A-level event - ancient witchcraft (with a tendency to develop towards S-level)].

At the same time, this video was naturally uploaded to the Internet. However, at a time when most people are paying attention to the thieves in the real world, not many people noticed the new trailer that suddenly appeared on the Internet.

Of course in the real world, the police have special staff who keep an eye on the situation on the Internet. After discovering such a new trailer, they are of course ready to tell the supreme commander, but at the same time, the Phantom Thieves have also begun to act.

All the surveillance cameras that were originally monitoring the situation on the scene seemed to be disturbed, and at the same time, a pair of hands holding electric batons hit the person operating the generator hard.

Chapter 34: Opening the door violently

Bang!

A dull acrobatic sound, accompanied by the sound of thunder and lightning, rang out here, and another policeman fell to the ground. In just a few seconds, there were no more policemen standing here. Sadra put away the electric baton in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, and finally he tore off the camouflage mask on his face, turned around and dragged the young policeman in front of him to a utility room on the side.

When the noise in the utility room disappeared, the person who came out again was the unconscious young policeman who had been dragged in before. To be more precise, it was the thief in the appearance of this young policeman.

The thief, who had the appearance of a young policeman, even disguised a lot of wounds on his body. He then picked up an axe that had been prepared long ago, and after turning off the generator, he raised the axe and smashed the generator into pieces.

The power supply in the room was completely cut off at this moment, and the entire room fell into darkness. Although there was light projected in from outside the museum, it could not illuminate everything through the windows. Instead, it added a bit of strange atmosphere to the entire museum. Moreover, with the light coming through the windows, some dark places became even more difficult to see.

At the same time, a series of electric currents continued to spread rapidly outward along the power network that had no power. The various mechanisms that were originally used to stop the thieves were opened at this moment. One iron door after another fell from above. The doors and windows of the museum were also completely closed and locked tightly at this moment.

This series of changes directly disrupted the deployment of all police officers and even separated other people present.

Chris looked at the tightly closed door in front of him and couldn't help but grit his teeth. He was now locked in a remote corridor. On the front and back, there was an iron door like a fence on one side and a heavy mechanical door on the other. When he discovered that there was a power outage and was about to move towards the generator, these mechanisms trapped him here.

On the other side, the purple-haired girl was investigating with the man who was as bright as the sun. Like Chris, they were trapped near the top floor of the museum along with one or two policemen.

"Huh? Interesting. Teamwork? I'm interested."

The purple-haired girl looked at the closed gate, then looked at the scepter in her hand. The front end of the scepter was like an eagle's head. The purple-haired girl aimed the front end of the scepter at the lock of the gate, raised the scepter high, and smashed it down hard, just like an eagle stalking its prey. The pointed front end of the scepter hit the core directly.

With the power beyond human, the entire door lock became tattered. Just by lifting it up slightly, a way forward could be opened.

The man who was as bright as the sun laughed happily after seeing the purple-haired girl's actions, "Hahahaha - Queen of the Sky, you are indeed a genius!"

He took two steps forward, looked at the other locked door, raised his foot, and kicked directly in the direction of the lock. Even if their powers as heroic spirits had not fully recovered, this physical fitness that surpassed that of humans was an absolute weapon!

Looking at the door that was kicked open, the man as bright as the sun quickly walked towards the direction of the mummy exhibition hall. Although there were many things that could not be confirmed, one thing was clear: although the targets of these thieves seemed to include many rare and precious cultural relics, their main purpose was still mummies!

I don't know what the purpose of these monsters stealing mummies is? Do they want to use the bodies of these antiques to make paint or cosmetics?

On the other side, the supreme commander saw the new prophecy on the Internet and was about to report it to some professionals when a wounded young police officer ran into the command room in a panic, "Oh no, we were ambushed here, all the generators were smashed, and that guy Sadra was impersonated by someone!"

After the top commander took a look, the police officer who came to support him frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't you notice anything unusual about him?"

The police officer who had been calling for everyone to come to the police station for support shook his head and said, "There's nothing unusual. Not only his personality and demeanor, but also the clothes he was wearing and the various smells left on his clothes. I can confirm that it's indeed him. Could it be that in order to disguise himself perfectly, this thief also took off Sadra's underwear and put it on himself?"

The Supreme Commander curled his lips, then picked up the intercom, "Now is not the time to talk to you about this! I need... um... what's going on? I feel dizzy..."

As the conductor spoke, his eyes gradually became blurry, and then he fell to the ground, snoring slowly starting to sound.

There were also a series of sounds of flesh hitting the ground around. One policeman after another fell to the ground and fell asleep. If you look closely, you will find that the room seems to be filled with a faint pink and purple smoke, which is not obvious and has no smell. In this room, the only person standing is the young policeman who ran in hurriedly.

The young policeman, with a gas mask covering the lower half of his face, turned and walked out of the room, closed the door, and then locked it. A relaxed smile finally appeared on the young policeman's face. He then took off the gas mask and tore off all the masks and disguises on his body.

After tearing off all the disguises, a graceful figure was revealed, and a red dress wrapped around her body, which looked like a blooming rose, and also like a deadly poison. She opened the small makeup box she carried with her, took out the lipstick, and applied the bright color while curling her lips, "Is that all you have? That can't stop our Phantom Thieves."

In the mummy storage warehouse, the thief with a clown mask on his face was quickly collecting mummies one after another into his box. When the mummy storage warehouse was basically cleaned up, the next ones would be the mummies that the employer had specifically requested.

First is Ramses II, who is placed in the exhibition hall, and several other pharaohs, such as Tut, Tutankhamun, etc., who are placed in special safes.

"Plan a route for me. It's really convenient to move around with a teammate like you who can sense where life force is."

The clown walked to the closed door, and the mechanical door began to open to both sides automatically. The clown was about to move forward, but suddenly stopped, "Huh? This really surprised me."

Chapter 35: Hehehe~ We are a team

The man who was as bright as the sun stood with one hand on his waist on the path leading to the exhibition hall. He picked up an ancient Egyptian weapon displayed on the counter, swung it twice, and then pointed it at the clown in front of him. Behind him, the purple-haired girl, who was still wearing a white cloak decorated with Medjay, had her eyes gradually become sharper.

"Fortunately, we arrived in time. It seems that my inference was correct. Your target is these mummies. But unfortunately, this is the end! Stealing the remains of the pharaoh is a capital crime!"

The thief wearing an abstract clown mask curled his lips under the mask, but his tone was still frivolous, "How strange, my partner's perception should not be wrong, there is indeed no human presence here, are you using some ability to cover up your own presence?"

As a phantom thief, you need to know all kinds of things and special items, so that you can live more freely and live longer.

This time his companions did not detect any life signs, but two people who had been waiting here for a long time appeared in front of him. Not to mention what the future would be like, he might be in trouble this time. If he was lucky enough to complete the mission this time, he would have to be more careful in the future.

Breath of life?

Heroic Spirits, after all, are people who have left behind deeds and are existences engraved outside of time and space. They descended as Servants, or perhaps, to be more precise, they are existences between Servants and Heroic Spirits. After all, they don't have any masters driving them, and they are not familiars, but no matter what, they are all people from the "past".

There are very few living beings who possess the status of heroic spirits.

Unfortunately, they all ascended to the Throne of Heroes after death, so how could they, who had returned to the world like shadows, have any breath of life?

"Just surrender! This disrespectful person should die as a token of his guilt!"

The purple-haired girl raised the staff in her hand and pointed it at the thief in front of her. The thief quickly turned around with a strange smile on his face. "I'm very sorry, we still need to complete the mission, so we don't have time to play with you here."

The man who was as bright as the sun didn't say anything and thrust the Egyptian spear in his hand directly at the thief in front of him. The thief who was as bright as the clown quickly dodged to the side and a blank poker card appeared in his hand. The poker card flashed by and the Egyptian spear in the hand of the man who was as bright as the sun was put into the poker card.

Looking at his empty hands, the sun-like man showed some interest on his face. This time he did not pick up any weapons, but just raised his hands and prepared to rush up and fight with the guy in front of him.

"Emperor's privilege activated: martial arts!"

The man who was as big as the sun easily assumed a fighting stance, then turned around and kicked in the direction of the clown. If the clown himself did not have strong physical fitness and reaction ability, this kick would have directly made him unable to move. However, he dodged the kick, and the palm of the man who was as big as the sun slipped past the clown's mask.

Part of the paint on the clown's mask disappeared without a trace under this palm, as if it was wiped out directly by the strong energy.

The clown's words gradually became serious, and his body moved towards the exhibition hall. "Danger, danger, this is really dangerous~"

When the purple-haired girl saw that the guy in front of her wanted to leave, she directly blocked the path with the staff in her hand.

"Although I am not good at close combat, don't even think about getting past me!"

The man wearing a clown mask shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "This is really a tough nut to crack. In this case, I have to be more serious."

One after another, playing cards and Xiao Xiazi appeared in the hands of the clown mask. A box emitted a light, and a lion that was several times larger than a normal lion crawled out of it. These boxes or playing cards contained props, weapons or creatures prepared in advance by the clown mask.

The man wearing a clown mask released several creatures that were obviously mutated. He looked at the two people in front of him and smiled twice, "If you want to stop me, please come and try."

The man who was as big as the sun raised his foot, and then brought it down like a battle axe. A leopard that wanted to launch a sneak attack was hit directly on the head, and then smashed heavily on the ground along with the falling foot. The sound of broken bones was heard directly, and blood splattered on the ground. The man who was as big as the sun put away his foot and moved his hands.

"If this is all you have, there's no way you can escape from me!"

The clown sighed, and a flash of red appeared where his eyes should be. "Looks like I need to be more serious on my end, too."

In the exhibition hall on the other side, the mechanical door and all the mechanical defenses were opened. A graceful figure in a red dress slowly walked out, throwing a box that looked exactly like the clown mask in her hand. "Strange, why hasn't this been dealt with yet? What on earth is the clown doing?"
