[Museum Theft Case].

Time: 9:58 AM, July 15th.

Location: A theft case that occurred at the city museum.

According to the investigations of those [Psionic Plainclothes Officers], the one who destroyed the metal wall was an Elementalist skilled in [Flame Element Attack].

The other was an accomplice whose strength was between a [Level 2 Psionic Warrior] and a [Level 3 Psionic Warrior].

Conclusion: These two thieves must have colluded with an inside mole at the [Museum]. Only then could they have accurately located the weak point in the metal wall, broken through it, and stolen the five [Psionic Fossils].

Additional Conclusion: The museum's security guard, Chen Shui, and the museum's director, Mien, are both accomplices to these two thieves. Chen Shui has already been silenced by Mien.

Additional Conclusion: Mien is a [Level 2 Psionic Warrior] who owes over three million. This is why he colluded with outsiders to steal five Psionic Fossils worth a total of [Ten Million].

The above information is what Wang Zhong summarized after compiling the details of the theft case.

"Snap!"

After compiling all this information, Wang Zhong lay on the sofa, feeling exhausted. He rhythmically massaged his temples with his right hand, relieving the strain on his overthinking mind.

"So, just because a colleague swapped shifts with me, I'm now on the list of suspects?"

"I remember Xiao Zhe, who swapped shifts with me, was supposed to be traveling out of town today and tomorrow, which is why he asked me to cover for him..."

Muttering a few words, Wang Zhong picked up his [Mechanical Phone A10] and continued to issue commands: "Intelligent System, hack into the phone number [13XXXXXXXXX] and help me locate the owner's position."

"Okay, Master."

The next second, the [Intelligent System]'s cold electronic voice emanated from the [Mechanical Phone A10].

A few seconds later, the [Intelligent System] provided the answer: "Master, the owner's location has been pinpointed. They are on a beach in Yun Gang District."

"Hoo."

"Xiao Zhe told me he was going to the beach in Yun Gang District with friends, so I can temporarily rule him out as an accomplice."

"This means I can now focus my main target on Mien, the museum director. Through him, I might be able to find out where those two accomplices are?"

Muttering a few words, Wang Zhong continued to speak to the [Intelligent System]: "Intelligent System, hack into the phone number [13XXXXXXXXX] and locate the other party's position. Oh, and this [Mechanical Phone] might have some anti-tracking and anti-hacking programs attached, so be careful."

"Okay, Master."

Meanwhile.

In a suburb of the city.

In a dilapidated-looking rental apartment, but with a brand-new interior.

A Western man with a dense black beard, appearing to be in his fifties, dressed in a suit, was cradling two fist-sized blue [Psionic Fossils] like precious treasures.

At this moment, a blue glow reflected on his rugged face.

"Haha, with these two [Psionic Fossils], I can get at least four million in funds once I sell them..."

"Then I can pay off my debts, and on top of that, I'll have over a million left..."

"This million is enough for me to escape to another country and start a new life under a new identity..."

At this moment, Mien laughed heartily, his smug expression resembling that of a very fat man.

Mien didn't notice at this moment that his [Mechanical Phone 14X], placed on the sofa, had its screen flicker slightly.

In the digital world, his phone was being invaded, and a stream of flashing [0]s and [1]s was surrounding his phone's database...

A moment later.

Crack.

The data from the [Mechanical Phone 14X] had been packaged and copied.

"Hmph, that brat Xiao Zhe, daring to not cooperate with me..."

"And pushing Wang Zhong out as a scapegoat. However, Xiao Zhe and Wang Zhong are still a threat. I don't know how much they actually know. Oh well, before I leave, I still need to get rid of them..."

"Only then can I leave with peace of mind."

"Perhaps killing them both will also confuse the [Psionic Plainclothes Officers] and buy me some time."

In Wang Zhong's rental apartment.

In the living room.

Wang Zhong, sitting on the sofa, listened to the intercepted audio synchronized by the [Intelligent System], his face suddenly turning ashen.

Xiao Zhe actually knew about Mien's theft plan!

And he, Wang Zhong, was being used as a scapegoat by Xiao Zhe!

Mien actually intended to kill him, Wang Zhong!

At this moment, an emotion called [reason] was slowly disappearing from Wang Zhong's heart.

Tick-tock, tick-tock!

Time passed, drop by drop.

Wang Zhong sat silently on the sofa, his mind in chaos. Even the joy of obtaining his cheat system had been unconsciously cast aside.

[Let it be... Mien comes knocking... forced to counterattack... kill Mien... caught by Qi Xun, investigated and charged... expose my cheat system...]

[Depart immediately, kill Mien... take the Psionic Fossil... resolve the hidden danger... live a stable life again...]

In a daze, Wang Zhong seemed to see two different futures in his mind.

Five minutes later.

On the sofa, Wang Zhong shook his head and muttered to himself with a complex expression, "As expected, people are selfish."

This statement meant that Wang Zhong had truly made his choice.

[Kill to silence]!

Wang Zhong never imagined that he, an excellent employee who had never taken a life, would one day choose this bloody path.

"So, the immediate priority is to create a detailed combat plan..."

"First, I need to change my appearance... Second, I need to jam all surveillance cameras within a ten-mile radius of Mien..."

"Third, is how to clean up the mess, destroy the evidence..."

After Wang Zhong had finalized all these combat plans, he stood up and quickly walked towards his bedroom. Soon, he took out a white mask with a silicone texture from the wardrobe in the bedroom.

[Disposable Disguise Mask].

This was an [Assistance Item] that Wang Zhong had kept from a certain arrest operation half a year ago.
