What kind of model is this supposed to be?
It’s just so unclear.
“Stop messing around, let’s get going,”
Lin Xian stopped Big Face Cat from blowing his nose on the ground and pulled the two towards the street ahead.
Just now in the park, he had already asked passersby and found out that the Rhein Museum wasn’t far from here, just a walk from one intersection away.
That was quite convenient since it saved the trouble of taking a ride.
Lin Xian was growing more convinced that the clue Zhao Yingjun had left for him, and the secret within the Mirror that Huang Que spoke of, must be inside the Rhein Museum.
The trio walked down the street without attracting any attention.
In the free City in the Sky, there were all kinds of dress styles on the streets.
Compared to those, the three of them were quite ordinary and low-key.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the Rhein Museum.
Apart from the main road in front of the museum, the surrounding areas were not crowded with people or traffic.
After all, the museum wasn’t open at night, so there was little point in coming here for fun.

From a distance, one could tell that the Rhein Museum covered a very large area.
There was a clear height difference between the front and the back of the building, and between them lay a road.
However…
The current problem wasn’t about how to enter the back of the museum.
When the three arrived at the museum’s main gate, they found it was tightly closed.
It was the ubiquitous electronic gate seen throughout Sky City, similar to the one beneath Zhao Yingjun’s statue, with no buttons or locks to be seen, making it completely unclear how to open it.
For now, without getting through this electronic gate, there was no way to enter the museum’s courtyard, nor to access the exhibition halls inside.
“Time for some magic,”
Big Face Cat muttered as he fished out a grey clay-like object taped together from behind his waist.
“Holy shit,”
Lin Xian looked at this familiar tool:
“C4?
Why on earth did you bring this thing when parachuting?”
“Walking out without a C4 just doesn’t feel safe,” Big Face Cat snickered, flaunting his expertise:
“But we can’t blow up the main gate, which is usually the sturdiest part and hardest to destroy, and likely has an alarm system too.
Let’s go around to the side wall…
I see this museum’s exterior walls are mostly piled stone, and C4 can easily blast through that.”
“But…
Brother Lian,”
Lin Xian tried to stop him:
“Using C4 outdoors isn’t the same as indoors.
In an open-air environment, that loud noise, light, and dust…
It’s impossible not to draw attention.
My goal isn’t to steal something from the museum; I need to take a good look at what’s inside.
So if we attract the police or patrols, tonight’s effort will be for naught.”
“So what do we do?”
Big Face Cat stuffed the C4 back into his waistband:
“This museum’s wall has only this steel electronic gate as an entrance and exit.

You can’t open it, and if you don’t use C4 to blast the side wall, you definitely won’t be able to get in.”
Lin Xian stroked his chin and thought for a while, looking up and down the museum’s exterior wall.
The exterior was rather smooth, but the height was manageable, just over 4 meters high.
He glanced at the height of Big Face Cat and Ah Zhuang.
No choice.
Time to repeat an old trick.
“Let’s make a human ladder,” Lin Xian said to Big Face Cat and Ah Zhuang:
“You two prop up against the exterior wall to make a human ladder for me.
After I climb up and jump in, you should head to the pharmacy to scavenge for medicines.
Once you’ve found the medicines, just find a place to parachute down and don’t worry about me.”
“What kind of crap are you talking about?”
Big Face Cat cursed:
“You brought us in here, and since we agreed to help you get into the museum, we’ll follow through.
How could we possibly leave you behind?
I couldn’t do something so disloyal and immoral.”
Seeing that Big Face Cat was still so loyal, Lin Xian smiled and patted his shoulder:
“I appreciate your kindness, but don’t worry about me.
I have my own parachute pack too.
I have my own escape route and I’m much more practiced than you.
I’ve told you where the pharmacy is, so after you make the human ladder, go ahead with your task…
The people below are waiting for you.”
Seeing Ah Zhuang coming over, Lin Xian nodded to him as well:
“Don’t worry, we’ll see each other down there.
Our fate is firm, not even space and destiny can tear us apart…”
“Believe me, we’ll meet again.”
In the end, Big Face Cat and Ah Zhuang were persuaded.
After a round of high-fives, Big Face Cat planted his feet and propped against the museum wall, Ah Zhuang climbed up his back, standing on his shoulders, and tilted the human ladder to a height of over three meters.
Hmm.
That height was just about right.
For a parkour expert like Lin Xian, stepping on the human ladder to leap the last meter-plus was a piece of cake, much easier than climbing over the junkyard fences before.
“Thanks, bro,”
Big Face Cat tensed his muscles against the wall, turning his head to watch Lin Xian, who was preparing to dash:
“Make sure you come back!”
Lin Xian gave a slight smile and bent down:
“Of course, I still need to return the wallet to Ning Ning.”
Whoosh!
Just like a cheetah, Lin Xian surged forward at speed, scaling Big Face Cat and Ah Zhuang in a few moves, and then with a powerful leap and a grab at the wall!
He successfully vaulted over the museum wall!
Thud!!
A heavy landing sound…
The ground inside was hard stone, sending a jarring pain through Lin Xian’s legs.
Fortunately, his professional landing absorbed much of the impact and, after rubbing them a bit, he was fine.
Two sharp whistles came from beyond the wall, signaling that Big Face Cat and the others were withdrawing.
Lin Xian also stood up, beginning to survey his surroundings.
