Chapter 37: Whoever dares to move a single step, everyone will be buried with them!

The museum's surveillance room is at the corner of the second floor.

There are no guards outside.

Inside, there are only two staff members.

These two men are both physically weak, pot-bellied middle-aged men with absolutely no combat ability; Chu Chen subdued them with ease.

After resolving this trouble, he immediately used the Micro Sky Eye to notify the Logistics Team, telling them to come over later to handle the aftermath.

Upon receiving Chu Chen's notification, the entire Logistics Team instantly entered work mode, strictly monitoring his every move!

At this moment, Chu Chen has completely seized control of the surveillance room!

Every corner of the entire Everest Museum is now exposed under his surveillance!

At this very moment, through the surveillance footage, one can clearly see that in the exhibition hall on the first floor, the host Zhumengduoji has already finished his opening remarks and invited some of the organizers' representatives and attending leaders to the stage to speak, making the atmosphere of the entire venue fiery!

Taking advantage of this fiery momentum, the exhibition's heavyweight guest, the famous action star Li Jie, finally walked onto the stage amidst enthusiastic applause!

After getting on stage, he grabbed the microphone handed to him by the etiquette lady and, with a smile on his face, said to the collectors and onlookers off-stage:

"Hello everyone, I am Li Jie. I feel deeply honored to be invited to serve as the promotional ambassador for this Himalayan Art Exhibition..."

Due to the altitude, coupled with the fact that his health has not been very good in recent years, one could hear obvious panting caused by oxygen deprivation while he spoke.

"Today, gathering here with everyone, I am very excited, especially after seeing these precious cultural relics; my excitement is beyond words. Because I myself am also an enthusiast of ancient Himalayan art, and also a loyal believer in Tibetan Buddhism. To be able to see so many ritual implements with my own eyes and meet so many powerful collectors is truly a great fortune of three lifetimes!"

"Since retiring from acting, my love for Himalayan culture has only increased, not decreased. During this period, I have also collected many related ritual implements and ancient artworks, but compared to everyone here, my collection is truly not worth mentioning. Today, to celebrate the smooth opening of this art exhibition, I have also brought a Folded-Line Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead that I have collected for many years, hoping to communicate and progress together with everyone..."

Just as Li Jie finished this sentence, an etiquette lady smilingly carried a tray to the center of the exhibition hall and finally stopped beside him.

Taking this opportunity, the host Zhumengduoji said:

"Teacher Li Jie's Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead has a very high reputation in the outside world. Even those not in the Tibetan Buddhism circle have more or less heard stories and rumors about it. Today, it was only after the organizers' repeated invitations that Teacher Li Jie agreed to bring this Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead to the exhibition!"

"The Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead is the most superior and noble existence among Dzi Beads. It can help the wearer avoid all disasters, turn bad luck into good, and increase compassion. Especially the thousand-year-old pure Nine-Eyed one is even more rare and hard to find! Only those with immeasurable merit have the opportunity to form a bond with it!"

"It is shameful to say, but as a local, I have never seen a real pure Nine-Eyed one with my own eyes. Today, I am fortunate enough to finally feast my eyes on it... Now, let us behold the true appearance of this thousand-year-old pure Nine-Eyed one... Come, Teacher Li Jie, please!"

After finishing his words, the host Zhumengduoji made a gesture of invitation toward Li Jie.

Seeing this, Li Jie pressed his palms together, performed a Buddhist greeting to everyone, and then uncovered the red cloth covering the tray!

However, the moment the red cloth was uncovered, everyone's gaze went blank!

At this time, the Dzi Bead on the tray was long gone.

Replacing it was a Time Bomb!

Right now, the countdown on the bomb's display screen had already started, and the numbers were ticking away second by second, with less than ten minutes left.

"There's a bomb!"

After reacting, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted this out.

Immediately after, the entire exhibition hall fell into chaos, and everyone was fleeing in all directions.

In order to control the situation, Chu Chen decisively turned on the broadcast, spoke into the microphone in a deep voice: "Don't move, or I will detonate the bomb right now."

Just as he finished this sentence, his image appeared on the large screen in the center of the exhibition hall.

Afterward, Chu Chen continued:

"From now on, whoever dares to move a single step, everyone will be buried with them."

Once these words were spoken, the previously restless crowd immediately calmed down.

Even the security personnel were the same.

They didn't dare to make any moves at all, fearing that they would provoke Chu Chen and cause a tragedy!

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Chu Chen said in a deep voice again:

"Hello everyone, my name is Chu Chen. First of all, I am very sorry to disturb your elegance. Secondly, I don't want to hurt anyone. As long as you do as I say, I can guarantee that you will not be in any danger."

"Especially that lady holding the tray, please do not move around. Inside this Time Bomb, there is a Horizontal Detonation Device. Do you see that steel ball? If, because of your carelessness, you let it fall into that hole, the entire museum will immediately turn into ruins."

Hearing these words from Chu Chen, the etiquette lady's hands immediately stopped trembling.

Bean-sized beads of sweat dripped from her forehead, one by one, sounding extremely vivid in the silent exhibition hall!

At the same time!

Inside the Command Room in Yanjing!

The moment Chu Chen began to commit the crime, the Expert Group also received the news at the first opportunity!

"All experts please note, No. 99 Contestant has begun committing a crime, please be prepared!"

Hearing this prompt, the hearts of the five experts all skipped a beat!

What was meant to come had finally come!

The next second, Liu Xuemin hurriedly said to Lin Xu:

"Lin, haven't you found his location yet?"

Lin Xu shook his head and said helplessly:

"No. I think his crime location shouldn't be in Yanjing. During this period, our reconnaissance focus has always been here, and the Pursuit Team has almost turned Yanjing upside down, but we haven't found any valuable clues. Now that he has started committing the crime, if he were still in Yanjing, our people would definitely have noticed something."

Liu Xuemin agreed with what Lin Xu said; he nodded and said:

"It seems now that our initial reconnaissance direction was wrong, which gave him an opportunity..."

Hearing this, Zhu Guowei said: "Since he is not in Yanjing, then where could he be?"

Liu Xuemin shook his head and then continued:

"The situation is still unclear now, but if we want to take the initiative, we can only conduct a carpet search province by province; otherwise, we have to wait until he finishes the crime and obtain clues from other information channels. But by the time that happens, our pursuit operation will fall into a very passive situation again, always one step behind him..."
