I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 834: Suspicion Falls on Pharaoh Country
Traveling through modern times.
"This is really interesting," Lin Wan said with a laugh, "We're not in a hurry, neither are the netizens, not even the victims, but museums worldwide have already received the news and have reserved spots for the new exhibits."
Lin Wan held up her phone and showed a photo to Lu Zheng, which depicted an empty display stand with a bunch of Arabic writing that he couldn't understand.
"What does it say?" Lu Zheng asked, "Which country is this from?"
Though he had learned many foreign languages, he hadn't learned Arabic.
"Pharaoh Country," Lin Wan replied, "Pyramid Museum."
"Alright," Lu Zheng nodded.
This country... it seems to be declining more and more, and using this kind of thing to gain a sense of existence and boost national cohesion is understandable.
"It looks like everyone's quite anxious," Lu Zheng shook his head with a smile, "Let's find a time to send these things back."
It's not the first time accompanying Lin Wan on a mission, conveniently taking artifacts in the Lighthouse Country while worrying that suspicion might fall on them, so they had to wait a bit.
The artifacts stolen by the thieves were returned swiftly to each place.
"But that has to wait until the weekend. How can the artifact thief have the ability to deliver globally safely and quickly?" Lin Wan said, "Especially with the CIA watching."
"What, the CIA is in Pharaoh Country?"
"Not just Pharaoh Country but all the countries where the artifacts are from," Lin Wan replied.
"Does Hua Country have them too?" Lu Zheng asked curiously.
Lin Wan snorted coldly, "Not openly, of course, but do you think there aren't any contracted employees watching outside the museum?"
"Tsk tsk!" Lu Zheng couldn't help but shake his head, but he thought it made sense — the location of the Lighthouse Country's embassy in Hua Country is also a base of sorts, who knows how many people are lying in wait there.
As long as something happens domestically, you can see a group of people appearing with candles and white flowers, it's quite ceremonial.
Unfortunately, it doesn't match well with the domestic atmosphere, indicating that their professional skills are not that great.
Hearing Lu Zheng's sentiment, Lin Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Even extras and group leaders take a cut, do you think these so-called bottom-rung helpers can earn much?"
Extras and group leaders take ten percent, and over here, it's deducted layer by layer, so by the time it reaches the little guys, only about ten percent is left.
Lu Zheng said speechlessly, "That's so pitiful? How do you know that?"
"Of course, we know," Lin Wan said matter-of-factly, "because we have colleagues undercover among them!"
"Tsk tsk, with that kind of money, can they afford to eat?" Lu Zheng shook his head, then added, "But those watching the museum probably aren't these people..."
"Of course not, it would definitely be more elite," Lin Wan nodded.
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Want me to help ferret them out?"
"Don't you dare!" Lin Wan quickly refused, "Everything is under the control of national security, it's either unnecessary or a long-term plan, don't mess around."
Lu Zheng was speechless, "Really?"
"Really!" Lin Wan nodded, "You have to believe in the power of the country."
"Really? I don't believe it," Lu Zheng eyed Lin Wan askance, "Look at certain blogs, look at certain apps."
Lin Wan, "..."
Lin Wan said speechlessly, "Because there's no need, the top layer is definitely unaffected, and any effect on the middle and lower layers just indicates insufficient capability, but it's being gradually rectified, by adding IP addresses now, isn't it?
After all, it's an outlet to voice concerns, helping those in need, we can't discard the benefits just because of some drawbacks, like the national policy back then, you can't give up all the benefits because of some disadvantages, that would be lazy governance.
Ultimately, those who can truly distinguish right from wrong won't be influenced by the nonsense online."
Lu Zheng curled his lips, "But there are still some people who will be misled."
Lin Wan shrugged, "As long as life in reality gets better and better, trolls are just the minority, those '1450' can't stir up waves, even if occasionally some might have bad attitudes or just be truly foolish... they're just out of luck... after all... everything comes at a price...
Besides, maybe it can expose some hidden internal enemies, like some who have gotten too used to enjoying their privileges might accidentally expose themselves and be caught, it's possible."
Lu Zheng shrugged, what could he say, he could only admit you're right.
"Alright, a trip over the weekend, are you going?" Lu Zheng asked.
"I won't go, you're familiar with the routine anyway," Lin Wan said, "And Xiaoying has planned a shopping trip with me this weekend."
"I see..."
Lu Zheng seemed enlightened, "So you don't need me this weekend?"
Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh, "You want to come? You can carry our bags."
"Forget it!" Lu Zheng waved his hand, "I'll stick to maintaining the artifact thief persona."
...
However, Lin Wan went shopping on the weekend, and Lu Zheng was also planning to go abroad to deliver the items this weekend. Today was only Wednesday, so the two of them obviously had time to do other things in the evening.
...
Early in the weekend, after Lin Wan had arranged a meeting place with Li Ying and left by car, Lu Zheng went invisible, soaring through the clouds, and flew all the way to Pharaoh Country with the sunlight trailing behind him.
This time, there were indeed many good items snatched from the Lighthouse Country, especially from Pharaoh Country, which accounted for half of their collection.
Pharaoh Country is one of the oldest civilizations, with countless artifact collections. However, due to its decline over the past millennium, it's also one of the countries where top-tier artifacts have been most severely lost.
And the places where Pharaoh Country's artifacts have been lost are, of course, in Europe and the Lighthouse Country.
Lu Zheng flew all the way to Pharaoh Country, casually grabbed some cardboard boxes and styrofoam from a shipping company, packaged up all the artifacts, and quietly placed them in an unmonitored area of the Cairo Pyramid Museum, then put up a sign nearby.
Lu Zheng couldn't help but love such places without surveillance, it's really accommodating for him.
The museum had quite a few visitors today, and soon a staff member found the sign, followed its arrow to a storage room, and saw the pile of large and small packaged boxes. On top of the outermost box was the statue of a Bronze Sobek.
And then...
The museum instantly exploded with activity. Staff and visitors who heard the news crowded at the entrance, craning their necks, while reporters and influencers who got wind of it held up their phones, snapping photos and starting live streams with or without proper content.
...
In one day, Lu Zheng traveled across Pharaoh Country, Aegean Sea coast, and Husky, delivering all the artifacts, and then on his way back, conveniently delivered the remaining pieces to the Beidu Palace Museum.
Arriving home, it was just 8 PM, and when Lin Wan came back and opened the door, Lu Zheng had already showered and was browsing the headlines he created online today.
[Museums worldwide see a tourist surge]
[10th century BC Horus sculpture appears at Pyramid Museum]
[Athenian Silver Coin ignites heated discussions]
However, Hua Country kept a low profile, since this time there were only a few priceless artifacts from Hua Country involved, which also offset last time's conspiracy theories that the artifact thief might be from Hua Country due to the Eden Sect incident with the snakehead statue theft.
"So, now as the top suspect for being the artifact thief, everyone's placing the blame on the Pharaoh Country people," Lu Zheng said with a laugh, "we're in a solid position!"
