East Lake District, Celestial Museum.

As the largest museum in Titan City, the Celestial Museum sees a large number of visitors daily.

Today was no exception.

At this moment, a young man in a black trench coat was suddenly stopped by the security at the entrance: "Sir, I'm sorry, electronic pets are not allowed inside."

He said this, pointing to the small robot on the ground nearby.

"It won't harm anyone."

"Sorry, the museum houses precious collections from various eras. If a machine goes out of control, it would be a serious problem, hence the prohibition."

The young man shrugged helplessly and turned to leave.

"How is it going?"

"The scanning and remodeling have been completed. The entire structure of the museum has been analyzed, and we're currently building the model."

"Good, we'll make our move tonight."

Watching the person and his electronic pet walk away, the security at the door suddenly picked up his communicator. "Suspicious person detected, one person with a robot, did not enter the museum."

"Do you need to deploy more personnel to track them?"

"No need for now. If they plan to seek the ancient reel, they will enter the museum. That's when we'll catch them like turtles in a jar."

"It's daytime now, with many eyes around. If it's not them, it might alert them unnecessarily."

Hearing this, the security put down his communicator and continued to maintain order at the museum.

...

Titan City, sewers.

The sewers are famously known as the "fixed respawn point of Longevity Company."

Currently, a group of people is walking within, revealing themselves to be the "Mutant Walkers" of Longevity Company.

The company seems to have a mysterious obsession with the sewers.

Just like Great Xia refers to "Spirit Contract Masters" and "Contracted Spirits," and Can Shang Company calls theirs "Abnormal Skeleton Warriors," Longevity Company's are called "Mutant Walkers."

Mutation, as the name implies, involves some changes in the body, which are internal to external.

Mutation is often a derogatory term, but people from Longevity Company do not think so; they quite like the title.

It's like when you talk to someone from Can Shang Company, they think prosthetics are cool, it's the same idea.

The people previously sent to Deep Blue City to scout cannot be counted as Mutant Walkers. Only those with power above Tier Five and above are eligible for the title.

Every Mutant Walker has a special deformation potion injected into their body; these are the warriors nurtured by Longevity Company.

At the forefront is a tall woman with "003" marked on her neck. The deformation potion injected into her is "Bee Calamity," refined from the Spiritual Remains of Tier Nine Insect Race Bloodthorn Bees.

Behind her are two more Mutant Walkers, a man and a woman, with numbers "018" and "029" on their necks, representing "Hidden Insect" and "Poisonous Calamity."

One at Tier Eight, and two at Tier Seven, this configuration is considered formidable anywhere.

"Lucky for us, we've been troubled for days with no way to infiltrate Titan City, and then suddenly it had a power outage, giving us an opportunity."

"Keep your voices down. Even though we're in concealment, there's no guarantee that there aren't other traps set by the Celestial Net in the sewer."

"Don't forget our objective this time," the tall woman said.

Their mission was to infiltrate Titan City and steal an item from the Celestial Museum.

This item is a crucial ingredient that would allow Longevity Company to concoct ten new deformation potions, compensating for the recent loss of high-end combat power.

"I must say, 001 was utterly useless, getting killed by that person named Wei Qing, leaving us to take on this risk."

"Not to mention, we didn't even get the Shennong Cauldron, and the recent probes into North County have yielded nothing. Those guys are like turtles hiding in their Ancient Array shell, truly troublesome!"

Number 018, the man, was rather chatty because of his Hidden Insect talent, speaking without restraint.

A faint veil covered them nearby.

This was the Hidden Insect talent, "Spiritual Concealment Veil."

It was thanks to this talent that they went undetected along the way.

"It will be night soon. Once the museum is empty, we'll enter," Number 003 said, checking the time and reminding them.

They waited for another hour.

Finally, night fell.

Number 003 exchanged glances with the other two and, under the cover of the Spiritual Concealment Veil, slowly lifted the sewer manhole cover.

On the surface of East Lake District, at the Celestial Museum.

The Abnormal Skeleton Warrior disguised as security during the day was hiding in a secluded alley, patiently waiting for tonight's prey.

Since he hadn't eaten all day, he took some time to buy three corncobs and was energetically munching on them.

Suddenly, he noticed the manhole cover connecting to the sewer being slowly lifted not far in front of him.

But aside from the action of the cover being moved, no one was visible.

He stared at the scene in shock, even forgetting to continue eating the corn.

"Hello? Command center, I think I've spotted them!"

"The investigative report mentioned they have cloaking devices, and I can see they're emerging from the manhole cover!"

"Yes, I can't see them; they must be in a concealed state. I request permission to use the special flare."

Upon receiving confirmation, he dropped the corn, took a small cylindrical object from his tactical backpack.

This was a special flare developed by Can Shang Company, capable of illuminating all hidden entities.

The chance for a significant achievement had arrived!

He threw the special flare sharply into the sky and then raised his right hand, revealing a black cylindrical cannon from the modified prosthetic limb.

"Eat this!"

The three Mutant Walkers from Longevity Company had just emerged from the sewer when they saw—

The sky lit up.

Then, a rocket was fired from a distance, bringing with it roaring heatwaves!

"Damn! It's an ambush!" Number 003 shouted, immediately reaching up to grab the incoming rocket, twisting it forcefully, causing it to explode in her grasp.

Unscathed!

"Damn, tough opponent!" The Abnormal Skeleton Warrior hurriedly opened his communicator and called out, "Everyone, come to me, they have accomplices!"

Instantly, the alley became filled with commotion.

In the distance, listening to the noise coming from there and watching the Abnormal Skeleton Warriors emerge from the night one by one, Han Zhan and October exchanged glances.

"Quite a racket, what's going on?"

"No idea," October said, applying his newly learned trendy vocabulary.

"Why did Can Shang Company set an ambush here, how did they know I was going to steal the Energy Bricks?" Han Zhan muttered to himself.

"Seize the fleeting opportunity, let's do it!"

With that, Han Zhan and the small robot quickly infiltrated the Celestial Museum from another direction under the cover of night!
