Chapter 208: The Purpose of Freemasonry
FBI agent Mitchell doesn't think he's a curious person, but he's still interested in it, wondering what role Alex plays in this matter.
He didn't expect that one day everything he was thinking would be known to Alex.
After Mitchell finished talking to Hoover, he went to Agent Smith. The rest of the memory is when he and Smith go to Carpenter's house and talk to Alex.
Seeing this, Alex was thoughtful, and knew that he had peeked into some unknown secrets. This secret has even subverted people's common sense, I am afraid that this is the truth that the upper class of human society has been hiding from ordinary people, the truth about the world.
If you want to dig deeper into the puppet's memories, you have to spend more time looking at it, and in such a short time, Alex can only look through it selectively. He had always wondered what the so-called transformation was and what kind of monster Hughes would eventually become.
Just as Alex wanted to enter the mental space again, the phone rang again, and this time no one came looking for him, but someone sent an invitation. Lawrence? Rockefeller invited him to a party, and it was this evening.
The Rockefeller consortium? Alex remembered Hughes's words, it was said that Rockefeller was from the Masonic side, so it meant that the Freemasons also wanted to pull him over.
All of a sudden, Freemasonry, the Illuminati, the FBI, and the organization behind Hughes all flocked to him, whether it was friend or foe, and Alex's head ached. When I was first born again into this world. He thought that it would be enough to make some money and spend it, but when he made a lot of money, he found that if he wanted to ensure that his basic interests were not violated, he had to have greater strength.
So he tried his best to help the Carpenter family grow up, and worked hard to increase the family's own strength and capital. Unexpectedly, he soon found himself facing greater danger, not only being kidnapped, but also being targeted by many mysterious organizations.
It's not fun, Alex doesn't like to be on either side, and he doesn't want to be blackmailed by anyone.
Although those people do it very secretively. But in front of Alex's abilities. No matter how secret things are, he will dig them out. No one can keep their secrets, as long as they are touched by him. After finding himself involved in a world-level conspiracy mammoth, Alex began to value this ability, and he wanted to fight his way out of it. You have to rely on your own abilities.
Rockefeller's invitation could not have come at a better time. Alex wasn't worried that the other party would suddenly hurt the killer. At least for now, everyone is hoping to win him over. As long as Lawrence is touched by him, then all the conspiracy is written before his eyes.
A building near Rockefeller Center, this party was quite crowded. Alex arrived on time.
When he put his name on it, the servants of the Rockefeller family led him to a study.
Lawrence? Rockefeller was waiting inside, and the actual head of the Rockefeller consortium was acting in a low-key manner, and if it weren't for those who knew the inside story, I would probably think that he was just one of the Rockefeller's heirs who went unnoticed.
Alex saw Lawrence again, the seemingly knowledgeable scholar. This time no one else was present, and Lawrence still wore his white gloves.
The two of them shook hands and sat down separately. Alex unbuttoned his suit as he sat down, leaning back in his chair and looking at Lawrence's face.
"How?" Lawrence said without a word, and then asked with a smile, "Have you met Mr. Hughes?" How is he doing now? ”
Alex suddenly had a sentence in his heart: "He's not human!" This sentence was secretly said by Lawrence when they last met, implying that Hughes was no longer human. Thinking of the meeting with Hughes and Mitchell's memories, I'm afraid Lawrence didn't say that Hughes had been transformed into another life form.
No matter what he thought in his heart, Alex replied casually, "Hughes is doing well, and he looks like he is a few years younger." ”
"Hehe, yes. How many years younger......" Lawrence repeated, as if thinking about something, but he still didn't directly tell Hughes what it was. He thought for a moment and said, "I heard back in Hughes's first flight accident that the plane he was flying fell and smashed into pieces. ”
"Huh?" Alex frowned, and he said, "That's not right, how did I hear that he successfully made a forced landing on the rape flower field, not only did the plane survive, but he himself was unscathed." ”
"Hehe, such a legendary story is really more believable than the truth itself." Lawrence didn't immediately refute, but pointed out one point: "When Hughes flew the test, he was chasing the fastest record in the world, and it seems that he had reached more than 600 mph at that time. His plane ran out of fuel in the air, and the engine stopped running at that time. If he is lucky and his skills are good, he may indeed succeed in the forced landing. ”
Alex nodded, thinking that Lawrence's words were more pertinent, after all, there are still miracles in this world.
"But ......," Lawrence immediately continued, "the plane was not very damaged, and Hughes himself was not injured in the slightest." Such things are no longer enough to be described as miracles, but miracles! ”
"I don't know what you're trying to say?"
"What I'm trying to say is that he's actually dead, and not just once, but twice just when the plane fell. Hughes is a character you must already know very well, he is the kind of person who likes to take risks, in addition to flight accidents, there are all kinds of other accidents, big and small, if it weren't for ......"
"If he hadn't used Angel Dust, he wouldn't have survived. Are you trying to illustrate this? Alex decided not to listen passively, but to take the initiative.
Lawrence was really stunned by this sentence, he shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to already know the truth." Is this what Hughes told you? ”
"Nope! Hughes didn't talk to me about that, we are partners and aren't very interested in the privacy of our partners. As long as we have common interests, I think I can work with Hughes whether he is a human or a ghost. ”
"Angel Dust still has a name, do you know it?" Lawrence asked suddenly.
"What's the name?" Alex shook his head, unclear.
"Angel Dust is also known as Vampire Ashes!"
"Vampire Ashes?" Alex wanted to laugh when he heard this, and he asked rhetorically, "You don't mean that this is the ashes left behind after killing the vampire!" ”
Unexpectedly, Lawrence nodded solemnly, and he said, "That's true." The main ingredient of Angel Dust is the ashes left over from the vampires' death from the sun. ”
It's what and what! Alex felt that his view of the world was about to collapse. He had guessed that Angel Dust was a new type of drug, potion or something. But vampires? Does this really exist?
He had the feeling that he was on the wrong set, or that he should shout to the people outside the scene: "Director, this script is wrong!" ”
You look at me, you look at you, I look at you. It took a long time for Alex to let out a breath and say, "Do vampires really exist?" ”
Lawrence said in a very affirmative tone: "You are already a half-step into this circle. Sooner or later, this kind of thing will come to an end. Not bad. Vampires have been hiding among humans since ancient times, living on human blood and playing with people's hearts. There may be one or two outliers with a clear conscience. But over time, they will gradually degenerate into darkness. ”
"And what about werewolves?" Alex suddenly asked such a question, since vampires exist, then werewolves should also have talents. There have been legends of vampires, werewolves, witches, etc. in Europe for thousands of years, and I am afraid that these legends are not groundless.
"Werewolves?" Lawrence looked at Alex in some surprise, and suddenly asked, "What are you asking for?" Have you already seen werewolves? ”
"Not really!"
Alex shook his head, he had never seen a creature like a vampire or a werewolf, at most in the movies. I didn't know much about these two legendary creatures, but since they existed, I needed to know a little more about them, so as not to be overwhelmed when I actually appeared in front of them.
"Werewolves naturally exist, having been driven for thousands of years as slaves of vampires. All in all, the relationship is very complicated, so let's get to know it later. ”
"Then you didn't ask me to come here this time to talk about these topics." Alex went straight to the point and asked the other party's purpose.
Lawrence groaned for a while, and then said, "Have you already met Hughes?" What did he say to you? I hope you'll be open and honest with me. ”
Alex replied very cheerfully, "He told me about Freemasonry and the Illuminati, and then he wanted me to join his organization. By the way, he also said that you are a Freemason, is that true? ”
Lawrence did not deny or admit it, he avoided answering the question, but said, "So what are you going to do?" Want to join their organization? ”
"Hmph, I never wanted to get involved with you birds. Of course, I didn't reject him directly, but said that I would think about it and delay it for a while. ”
Lawrence didn't seem surprised by Alex's answer, he smiled dumbly: "You're pretty honest with me. Since you're going to drag it out, how? I reckon that even if you don't join their organization, they will have a way of forcing you to help out. ”
"Oh?" Alex looked at Lawrence with a smirk, and he asked, "Do you already know what Hughes wants me to help do?" ”
While they were talking, Alex had been thinking about whether to rush over directly, grab Lawrence's neck, and copy the other party's soul information. But every time he had this thought, the warning in his heart kept ringing again. I'm afraid that Lawrence's arrangement in this room is not as simple as it seems, maybe the other party has some master in ambush.
If he dared to act rashly, he didn't need the other party to smash the cup, and immediately rushed out countless masters from all directions to surround him. At that point, he couldn't come up with any excuses, and the result was very bad.
Lawrence didn't know what Alex was thinking, and he didn't answer the question directly, but rambled and talked a lot about SCC, the Soviet Space Agency, NASA, and rocket and satellite technology. This surprised Alex a little, but the other party refused to tell the answer, so he couldn't do anything about Lawrence.
When the conversation was almost over, Alex finally couldn't help but ask another question: "I heard that you Rockefeller issued a warning to my kidnappers, what is this for?" ”
This gave the question that he had some faith in Hughes, but now that he had a new understanding of Hughes, he no longer believed that Freemasonry had made such a move in order to oppose his rival Illuminati. I'm afraid there is anything else in this, he doesn't know.
As expected, Lawrence did not answer this question, but said with a meaningful smile: "When you should know the Tao in the future, you will naturally know the Tao." ”
Cut! What is called the time to know the Tao of the Lu, if you really want to know the Dao, if you really want to know the Dao, you can directly grab your neck and know the Dao of everything. Alex thought with some annoyance in his heart, but he only thought about it, and didn't dare to make a mistake.
Lawrence felt that he had said almost, and he smiled and said, "I really like to watch your movie "The Sound of Music", do you have any other shooting plans recently?" If you have one, you have to let me know in advance! ”
Alex was a little surprised to suddenly switch from vampires and human wolves to movies, but he casually said, "I haven't had any plans to make a movie lately!" Maybe I'll make a few in the future and take a look. ”
With a look of disappointment on Lawrence's face, he muttered, "Really? That's a shame. The movie wasn't filmed, so what about the record? Haven't you written any new songs lately? ”
"Well, songs, you have to be in the mood to write a few sentences. I've been busy with computers and rockets and satellites lately, so I don't seem to have much time to write songs. ”
"Oh, then you have to write more, not only do I like to listen to it, but many people like to listen to it too."
The rest of the conversation was all trivial, and Lawrence no longer talked about Freemasonry, the Illuminati, vampires, werewolves, and the like. After Alex left, it dawned on him that the Rockefeller consortium certainly did not want to see the progress made by SCC in rocket research.
In other words, they wanted to stop Hughes, but for what? What exactly was Hughes's purpose? Alex thought for a moment and looked up at the sky, only to see a bright moon break through the dark clouds and appear in the night sky.
Ah! I understand! Alex's heart was shocked, just like this bright moon, the dark clouds in his mind were dispersed, and the answer appeared! (To be continued......)
