Seeing the building, Pavel heaved a sigh of relief.
"Phew... this place looks more open; there should be no ambushes here."
Previously, the hackers had developed a bit of a small-room-PTSD; in any dark corner, narrow space, or turn, there was bound to be an ambush with "ordinary citizens" lying in wait to trap them.
But the Sculpture Art Museum seemed much more reassuring. Like many art museums, it had a high ceiling and a rather spacious hall. Although there were various postmodern sculptures creating many potential blind spots for design, it still felt much safer compared to the previous narrow areas.
"Move through quickly!"
For Pavel, time was of the essence. He had to obtain the key to the Virtual Space as soon as possible, steal it, and then retreat. The longer the delay, the greater the possibility of being reverse-traced by the authorities.
The group quickly moved through the museum, heading towards the back door.
