His form stopped suddenly. Take a look around.

Not a single one.

The current situation in Philadelphia is such that no one has the leisure to visit here.

He walked in silently and watched carefully.

In the picture, Richardman has his hands on his desk. The face was exactly the same as Xu Fu's memory, but it was much older.

He looked quite elegant, with black-rimmed glasses, and his full head of gray hair gracefully tied up in a ponytail behind him. It's gone. Dressed in a crisp suit. In the picture, he sits at a solid wooden table with books on the table and a dense bookcase behind him.

There is nothing unusual in the whole picture, however...... When his gaze looked at Richardman's right hand, his soul almost trembled.

His right hand rested in a wooden box on top of a dark red notebook. The five fingers are spread out and placed very casually. I'm afraid he didn't expect this painting to appear in front of the public at that time.

So, his hand wasn't enough to cover the notes. Some corners are missing, and it's on those corners...... It was written in Chinese characters!

A flaming excitement seeped through Edward's soul. The heart began to pound and speed up, the palms of the hands were sweating, and the Adam's apple was moving lightly—the painting was very detailed, including the Chinese characters on it.

A cloud word, a guest word.

If he didn't guess wrong, this was Xu Fu's note! Because Xu Fu's road number is called Yunzhongke! It's just that the Chinese character is blocked by a small half.

The sudden meeting without warning was too sudden. So much so that Edward's mind went blank for a moment, and his fingers trembled slightly. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath. Force yourself to calm down. Immediately afterward, countless questions rushed to my mind.

Note...... Richardman, the damn thing, actually took out the notes!

He shouldn't have opened it yet, after all...... If it had been opened, the Yin Si energy in the world would have come out long ago. No one knows what kind of astonishing secrets are hidden in this little notebook.

So why did he take it out?

"According to the rules of storage, no one should touch it." He stared at the painting and muttered, "However, after all, this is an item left behind by a Yama-level Yin Mission. Over time, he has long absorbed countless yin qi from Xu Fu. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a spiritual weapon. What's more important is the person who deposited it...... So, he's showing off? ”

"Showing off the heritage of the First American Bank? Even a Yama wants to choose our bank? ”

Shaking his head, he didn't bother with it anymore. Instead, he stared at the note.

He wondered if there was any possibility that the notebook could be opened.

After looking at it for a full minute, he breathed a sigh of relief.

No way.

Maybe it's because the note is already psychic, after all, it's the most important item of a Yama high-level. So...... It is unusually clear on the oil painting, and if you look closely, there are countless intricate dark lines on its cover, and they are clearly recognizable.

This is no ordinary dark vein.

Even if Edward only watched it for a minute, he felt dizzy in his head.

This...... It turned out to be an incomparably complicated formation!

Although he couldn't recognize it, he could understand it, and he read the yin symbols of "seal", "allow", "destroy", and "forbidden".

"It's not a painter's drawing, and no painter can draw so clearly. This is the projection...... Because of the yin and yang connection in the underworld, this notebook unconsciously projected itself onto this painting. And this ...... I'm afraid it's also the only painting that records a diary clue. ”

He looked behind Richardman, where there was an open door. On the door, the English paragraph of "Governor of the First American Bank" is prominently written.

He licked his lips slightly, suppressed his breathing a little heavily, and thought quickly, "The good news is that it is very likely that this notebook was still in the storage room hidden by the First American Bank at the time. The bad news is ......"

He sighed lightly and muttered, "This notebook is actually psychic, and the Freemasons will definitely find it extraordinary." And then...... What will they do? ”

Yes, Matthew's father was involved in the work of hiding the storeroom of the First American Bank. The storage room was in the underground palace and was not moved. There must be a huge secret hidden there, which cannot be moved.

But.

Is this notebook still there?

It's not a bulky item that you can take with you in your arms. Especially...... It is this notebook that has shown extraordinary circumstances.

It took a long time for him to retract his gaze.

Yes or no, just look at it.

If there is no clue of an underground church here. So...... Even if Matthew is a hornet's nest, he has to poke it himself.

Just as he withdrew his gaze, the corner of his eye suddenly jumped, and he looked into the picture in amazement.

Just now, he was attracted by Richardman's right hand, and at this moment, he suddenly found that his left hand was still holding something!

That's the upper part of the wooden box.

Very ordinary wooden box, there is no hollow carving process. However, on the yellow solid wood box, a line of words was carved with a knife.

MatthewConn。

Matthew. Conn

At this moment, Edward's mind seemed to be thunder. He even involuntarily raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows that had been wrinkled into Sichuan characters.

Matthew. Conn ...... Matthew. Conn?!

There's no way Richardman is still alive! Xu Fu said that he was just giving the other party the qualifications to live to two hundred years and complete this term. But...... Even if he dies, Matthew's father ...... No, Matthew's grandfather hasn't been born yet!

How could these two people, who had been separated by more than a hundred years, be involved?

In the dark, it was as if he had touched a giant beast. I touched the mouth, wings, and claws of the other party, but I couldn't touch the torso, and I couldn't recognize what kind of monster it was.

Missing a main line...... As a result, all the information is now fragmented and cannot be stitched together...... He grinded his teeth secretly, and that wasn't the most irritating. What worries him the most is ......

Richardman used the box to fill Xu Fu's notes, and then ...... Intended to be left to Matthew?

This notebook ...... And now it's in Matthew's hands?

Next to the queen bee in a hornet's nest?

"What a fucking answer." He scolded secretly, didn't want to stay any longer, and walked directly towards the door.

At the moment of leaving, he suddenly realized that the corridor in front of him was extremely long!

With no main hall in sight at the rear, it seems to lead to an endless hell!

"You know what." A voice sounded next to him: "It is simply impossible for ordinary people to stare at this painting for so long. ”

"It's called Portrait of Richardman, who eventually became treasurer. But his portrait is known as a portrait of magic, and under the baron, the soul boils at the sight of it. And you, you actually watched twenty minutes and thirteen seconds. ”

The painting hangs around the corner, next to another hall. At this moment, a figure in a suit walked out leisurely from behind.

It's a white man.

Thin, with a two-handful mustache, millet hair combed spotlessly, and wearing a high-end hand-tailored suit. The whole person exudes a kind of luxury.

However...... In Edward's eyes, the other party was a chaotic and distorted yin qi! There is no end in sight!

Duke...... This is the duke who stayed in the Masonic church! When did he come here? Or have you noticed yourself a long time ago?

Behind him, followed by two priests.

The other party was not wearing a black priest's robe, but a snow-white robe with gold trim. Even the cross hanging from his chest is inlaid with white gold and diamonds.

Bishop...... Two bishops!

The fact that two diocesan bishops could accompany him was definitely not trivial. Especially...... This is one of the Masonic nests. An extremely ominous premonition swelled up in Edward's heart, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency?" ”

"Brando. DuPont. He bowed slightly gracefully, stretched out his hand and pressed it gently: "Ah...... Don't be afraid. I'm just curious. Edward. Rawls. ”

It's so fast...... This is in the first twenty minutes of my attention to this painting, and I figured out my identity?

So...... He should also know why he is here. After all...... The Los Angeles Police Department is likely to have an internal ghost.

Are you here to "remind" yourself?

Or...... A blunt threat?

Edward was unmoved, looking directly into the other person's eyes: "I don't seem to have seen you before." ”

"But I sensed your guarding." Brando smiled and said, "According to the records, your past is unremarkable. You don't have the talent to cultivate. That...... You can tell me......"

In a flash of lightning, he instantly approached Edward, right behind him. His hands were already on his shoulders, and he whispered softly with his head in his ear, "How did you do that?" ”

"Huh?"

The two bishops had involuntarily separated the sides, forming a triangle to enclose Edward in the center. The true qi of the judge level on his body was boiling. Edward has no doubt that as long as one is wrong, the other party will definitely make a move!

Muscles tense instantly, then relax immediately. This was clearly sensed by Brando, who let out a chuckle and flicked his fingers on Edward's shoulder like a piano, in an extremely ambiguous manner.

His voice was full of demagogy: "You're reading the 'Forbidden Book'. ”

His voice was affirmative: "I may know more about this book than you do." It comes from a far-flung and mysterious and powerful country. No one can open it. The runes used are also very advanced. If you tell me you know. As the leader of the DuPont consortium, I promise you a request. ”

Even if Edward had long guessed that Brando's status was extremely high, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the seven words of the leader of the DuPont consortium.

This is...... A Lord!

One of the Twelve Masonic Lords, leader of the DuPont Consortium! A non-human lord!

Damn Lee Jung-sook! Didn't you say that all of them left the United States?! What XJB intelligence!

The Masonic Lord is still in the Masonic Church...... He didn't want to guess what kind of species the other party was, and his mind raced through it, and then he said, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

There was no sound behind him.

After a long time, Brando said quietly: "I heard that you are tracking down Matthew. What happened to the Conn family? ”

Without waiting for an answer, his voice became cold: "Listen to a word of persuasion, some things should be stopped in moderation." ”

"I don't know who is behind you. Please express my kindness to him on my behalf. At such times, Freemasonry has no intention of competing with any powerful power. But...... If anyone sets foot in our forbidden land. So...... He will face war. ”

Edward said calmly, "This is a threat? ”

"No, it's a reminder." Brando patted him lightly on the shoulder, "I wish you to leave Philadelphia alive." ”
