Chapter Eighty-Seven: Breaking Out of Manhattan
221.234.44.19 Union of Artisans, World Congress.
As for whether Qin Beiyang is the first Chinese member in the history of the Craftsman Alliance? Maybe not.
At the behest of His Holiness, Schmidt once again announced: "Tonight, we held the World Congress in the Great Temple of North America of the Craftsman Alliance, which has been interrupted for four years, and it has been a complete success, and we have recruited a young new member, Qin!" The Craftsman Alliance will continue the ancient tradition and protect the future of mankind! The craftsman will die, but the work will live on! ”
All the master craftsmen once again chanted this slogan in unison in various native languages, and Qin Beiyang couldn't help but shout out Chinese.
Suddenly, dense footsteps sounded in the corridor, and several dazzling lights shone in.
"The police are coming!"
Someone shouted, and the craftsmen were in chaos.
Qin Beiyang grabbed the file box and whispered in the ear of the gatekeeper Schmidt: "I'm afraid it's the police attracted by the assassin who escaped just now." ”
The Great Venerable reached out his right hand again and pressed a button at the bottom of the stone steps.
There was a loud rumbling sound throughout the North American Temple, and there was a hot current in the ground, perhaps a steam engine, perhaps an internal combustion engine, or perhaps some unknown power. There was a constant collapse of rubble overhead, and it seemed like the sky was falling apart. Qin Beiyang and Jiuse got together, and they had to protect the file box no matter what.
Finally, the entire hall was deformed, like a leaning tower of Pisa, and quickly rushed out of the ground of Manhattan, New York. The surrounding walls have fallen one after another, and it seems to be another skyscraper. Qin Beiyang fell to the ground, but fortunately, an iron railing stretched out from under the stone steps, allowing him to hold on to his balance. Jiuse simply bit the railing with his mouth.
The walls and floors of this underground palace are controlled by various mechanical gears that can change shape in a matter of minutes, like a child's block game! No wonder it's the Great Temple of North America of the Craftsmen Union, which is itself a masterpiece of artisan architecture!
Now the police are trapped underground......
The black homeless people, who had been sleepless all night, were stunned by this spectacle. The master craftsmen retreated in an orderly manner, and twelve gatekeepers protected the Great Venerable, hiding in the labyrinthine island of Manhattan.
In a moment, hundreds of members of the Craftsman Alliance were gone, leaving only one man and one beast, and an archive box!
Qin Beiyang was the last to drill out of the "Leaning Tower of Pisa" and stood blankly before the dawn in Harlem. It was in ruins, but fortunately it was originally a slum, the buildings were mostly wooden planks, and there were almost no casualties among the residents, and people woke up from their sleep in disgrace and opened their eyes to see the moon.
This night, it was another bizarre experience, not only rescued the top-secret file box, but also joined the craftsman alliance by mistake, Qin Beiyang couldn't help but raise his arms and shout, and a lion's roar resounded through the night sky.
A searchlight struck him in the face fiercely.
Another group of New York police arrived, holding the muzzle of the black hole, besieging Qin Beiyang and the Nine Colors.
Qin Beiyang restored the nine colors to the form of a big dog, worried that the young Qilin Town Tomb Beast would kill and injure a large number of policemen. He is already wanted by the Chinese government and does not want to be wanted by the US government again. The police raised their guns and told him not to move, but Qin Beiyang was holding the file box, which was more precious than his own life.
"Qin Beiyang!"
He heard a Chinese word, and it was still a ten-year-old female voice.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Anna appeared. She looked after the police in English: this boy is not a criminal, he is a member of the Chinese delegation to retrieve important diplomatic documents from the murderers. The big dog is the personal pet of Chinese diplomats, and they all enjoy diplomatic immunity.
Anna also has a beautiful man in the wind from the Chinese Yushu by her side, Li Longsheng, the champion of the World Intellectual Competition.
He was a distinguished guest of the mayor of New York, and the police were very polite to him. He also explained for Qin Beiyang and hoped that the police would not misunderstand.
In the middle of the night, Anna rushed to the New York Police Department and demanded that the entire city search for the assassins, hoping to find Qin Beiyang's traces. Li Longsheng accompanied her throughout the whole night, and the two stayed at the police station for the rest of the night, until someone reported that it was a Chinese man with a scar on his face who stabbed to death two guys who were blocking the road in the basement corridor of Harlem.
So, Ouyang Anna and Li Longsheng came over with the police car.
God willing, Qin Beiyang is still alive, and the file box is in his hands.
Anna pushed away those policemen, regardless of the guns pointed at them, and rushed to Qin Beiyang's face. She opened the file box, densely packed with documents, writing the word "top secret", not a single one was missing, and it was not dropped!
Ouyang Anna first kissed the shell of the file box, then hugged Qin Beiyang and kissed her cheek, and finally kissed the door of Jiu Color's head.
With a sudden kiss, Qin Beiyang was caught off guard, and his face was a shy crimson, which was red to the root of his ears.
Li Longsheng looked up at the sudden "Leaning Tower of Pisa" and was amazed: "The Great Temple of North America of the Craftsman Alliance? It's incredible, I've been looking for so many days in New York, and it's right here? ”
After repeated negotiations between Anna and Li Longsheng, and tossing until dawn, Qin Beiyang was able to return to the Chinese delegation along with the file box.
Qin Beiyang and Jiuse became heroes.
The delegation was greeted in a procession at the entrance of the Jefferson Hotel. The deputy head of the regiment shook hands with Qin Beiyang and promised to apply for a medal from the Beiyang government, which would be awarded by the president himself.
I don't know who recognized Qin Beiyang's face and name, and reminded the deputy head in a low voice: This person is a special wanted criminal of the Beiyang government.
The deputy head of the regiment was unmoved, and said sharply: "As long as it is conducive to China's recovery of Shandong's sovereignty, I will ask the president for an amnesty!" ”
In the afternoon, the Chinese diplomatic delegation boarded a passenger ship bound for Europe. New York Harbor is fading away, Manhattan is like a Penglai wonderland, and the North American continent has once again become a long green belt......
Ouyang Anna boldly grabbed Qin Beiyang's hand, interlocked her fingers, and whispered in his ear: "Next stop, let's go to Paris and participate in the Versailles Conference!" ”
During his days in the Atlantic, Anna accompanied him to see the magnificent scenery, as if the sea had changed color, the dolphins were churning and performing, and the clouds were all conjuring up various tricks to offer treasures.
didn't have time to take the beauty into his arms, and a young man's voice sounded behind him: "Mr. Qin, Li Longsheng is polite." ”
Ph.D. in physics from Cambridge University, handsome man, dressed in a decent suit and top hat, with a pair of charming eyes.
"Mr. Li, it turns out that you are also going to Europe with us."
When Anna saw this handsome face, she remembered that at the ball he had danced a waltz on her waist, and her cheeks could not help but flush.
Qin Beiyang said in a low voice: "I'm sleepy, I want to go back to the cabin to rest, you guys can talk here." ”
"Don't go!" Ouyang Anna dragged him back, her movements were quite rough, and she lowered her head and said to Jiu Se, "Hey, you are not allowed to leave, leave it for me!" ”
"Beiyang, I have a puzzle about how you entered the North American Great Temple of the Craftsman Alliance that night in New York? As far as I know, any outsider who infiltrates the meeting of the Craftsmen's Union will be executed on the spot. ”
Li Longsheng spoke very politely, and did not look down on this shabby-dressed little craftsman.
The Artisan Alliance is a secret society, and all members' identities must be kept secret, Qin Beiyang replied wittily: "Yes, I was almost killed by those bastards!" Fortunately, the police arrived in time. ”
"You're in luck!"
"Dr. Li, are you familiar with the Artisan Alliance?"
"To tell you the truth, the real purpose of my visit to New York for the World Intellectual Congress is to visit the Congress of the Craftsmen's Union. I found a leading British stone builder who specialized in building Gothic cathedrals, and had been a senior member of the Union of Craftsmen for generations. I wanted to pay a lot of money for him to take me into the venue, but he sternly refused and warned me not to be delusional. ”
"Well, the guards of the Artisan Alliance were extremely strict, and the assassin Ah Hai killed a gatekeeper...... What kind of feud does it seem between the Assassins and the Artisans? ”
Li Longsheng held his chin with interest and said, "Since the Middle Ages, there have been two major secret organizations in the world, one is the Artisan Alliance, and the other is the Assassin Alliance. ”
