Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

If someone can steal from a museum, unless they're someone like Sambo with incredible skill, only slightly inferior to Sambo in terms of agility, then there's probably a spy inside.

Preliminary assessment suggests there may be spies in the upper levels!

Moreover, the theft of cultural relics has caused such a big stir that even Sveta said there are informants everywhere in the mining area.

Sambo definitely knows about this!

Is he really not going to get involved?

Clearly, Yan did not believe it.

If Pera hadn't agreed to let Yan Huan become a shareholder, Yan himself would have wanted to go and work with Sambo.

"Either there's a spy in the upper echelons, or Sambo is involved, or perhaps both!"

Yan then recalled the arrogant behavior of the theft gangs in the lower districts.

The group of people in the lower area seem to know the miners here very well.

She's even very familiar with children.

"My dad has made so much money lately!"

"?"

Yan couldn't help but look to the side.

The voice came from a little girl, who was excitedly talking to a little boy.

So happy that they jumped and danced:

"He bought me so many new clothes! The kind you can't buy anywhere else in the lower tiers!"

After listening to the little girl's boasting, the little boy scoffed:

"Pshaw, that's nothing! My dad recently bought me a really expensive gift!"

"Hey! A model of a tram! Never seen one before, have you? It's worth way more than a few ordinary pieces of clothing!"

Yan was stunned for a moment.

He pursed his lips, didn't linger, and walked in another direction.

He paced silently through the large mining area, passing by many miners of all kinds.

They chatted and laughed, their laughter seeming even more hearty than when Yan Huan last came to the lower district.

Their conversation consisted mainly of mundane matters concerning the mining team, making them sound like respectable miners.

The deeper Yan Huan ventured into the large mining area, the quieter the surroundings became.

The number of miners coming and going has become increasingly scarce.

"..."

Standing on the road, Yan looked into the distance.

The population is sparse.

There are several smaller paths along the main road.

Yan actually started running!

Amidst the rising and falling footsteps, he didn't think twice and plunged into the path as soon as he saw it.

After venturing into four or five paths, he finally spotted two automatons at the edge of the sixth path!

Of course, it's not surprising that large mining areas have automated units; some miners use them for auxiliary tasks.

But why did Yan only notice these two automatons?

"..."

About a finger's width in front of him, two automatons blocked his way completely.

"Beep—beep! Alarm! Alarm! Meddling detected! Meddling!"

"Beep—! Protect the cargo! Protect the cargo!"

Two automated soldiers emitted a noisy mechanical sound, their eyes flashing with ferocity, and pounced fiercely on Yan Huan.

……

Approximately five seconds later.

All that remained in front of Yan Huan were two piles of mechanical wreckage.

He silently walked around them and went to their backs.

Many boxes were piled up on the ground.

Yan opened the boxes one by one and found that the contents had been taken away, and the marks were still fresh, indicating that they had been taken away recently.

"Oh dear, I'm late."

Yan silently collected the remains of the two robots.

If no clues are found, hand them over to Pera and let the Iron Guards extract the data; perhaps they will make new discoveries.

After collecting the wreckage, he continued to wander around the large mining area.

This time we went directly along the main road.

Finally, I found a poster posted on the side of the road.

Yan squinted and read aloud from the text:

"Recruiting temporary movers, mechanics, and security guards. Easy hours, excellent pay. Please contact..."

The contact information was rudely crossed out.

"Damn, they only drew out the contact information but didn't tear down the poster, deliberately leaving it for people to see, huh?" Yan complained.

Yan silently returned the way he came.

In the large mining area, the intelligence gathered was handed over to Pella.

Pera frowned slightly:

"I understand. You mean someone is instigating miners in the lower districts to organize the theft of cultural relics."

She then said to Yan Huan:

“I’ve also made some progress here. The miners here say they’ve noticed some people around them behaving strangely recently. Several homeless people who used to almost never leave the large mining area have been going to Panyan Town a lot lately.”

Yan said matter-of-factly:

“If the miners are involved, it’s not surprising that the homeless are too.”

Pera nodded:

"I asked the guards stationed in town to check all the important places."

Yan glanced around; it was still too crowded and noisy. So he led Pella to a secluded spot and tossed out the remains of the two automatons.

"These are the two automatons that attacked me. I beat them up. Maybe we can find some clues by extracting their data."

Pera blinked:

"Oh, you actually brought this back. Okay, I'll find someone with the relevant skills to extract it."

So Pera squatted down to the side and typed on her phone.

Soon, a guard arrived.

After bowing to Pera and Yan Huan, he began to extract the data from the automated soldiers.

Yan got a little bored while waiting, so he went out for a stroll.

He searched among the crowds in the large mining area, but could not find the leader.

"Huh, isn't the boss of the lower district here?" Yan asked in confusion.

I wanted to chat with her a bit to kill some time.

Then he noticed a miner lying on the ground sleeping.

"..."

……

Some time has passed.

In her hazy state, Yan Huan felt a small foot stepping on her abdomen, grinding and crushing it frantically.

He slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was Pella's jade-like feet encased in black stockings.

"You're really something, lying on the floor and sleeping with him, huh?" Pera said condescendingly.

At that moment, Yan was sleeping on the ground in a row with a miner.

Seeing that Yan Huan was awake, Pera also withdrew her small feet, bending down to put on her shoes as she said:

"Based on the Iron Guard's investigation and the data extracted from the Automaton, it can be confirmed that there is a connection with the miners and the wanderers."

"Some of them had been in and out of the rooms at the Goethe Hotel, and the security guards are now investigating."

Yan sat up, rubbed his eyes, and mumbled sleepily:

"Checked it out?"

"Not yet, I just went there."

"..."

Yan immediately raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Then why did you wake me up!"

"Oh, seeing you sleeping makes me feel a little resentful."

"..."

"grass!"
