Chapter 40: The Rockefeller Building
Evening, New York, Rockefeller Building.
Chen Wang sat on the windowsill on the top of the boulder on the top floor of this limestone building, the afternoon sun shining on him, and the shadow on his back was very long.
He swayed his legs and looked into the distance by the light of the setting sun.
It wasn't until seven melodious bells rang in the distance that he slowly rose from the windowsill and looked down at his feet.
Looking down at the foot from a height of more than 200 meters, the flow of people is like a tide, but it is like an ant colony; Cars came and went, but it was a slightly larger matchbox.
"Call the Gray Tower, call the Gray Tower, it's time, get ready to go, get ready to do it!"
A lazy voice came from the headset, breaking Chen Wang's thoughts, he sighed slightly and slipped into the window.
The top of the boulder, which is usually full of people, is actually not there anyone today.
Before Chen Wang could speak, a slightly lower female voice came from the headset: "Do it cleaner." β
"Got it, got it!"
Chen Wang couldn't help but roar back, he was really full of regret now, if he could travel back in time, he would definitely give himself two big mouths a day ago, and then tell him not to call that guy named Lu Mingze.
The content of his first mission when he joined the organization was..."to attend a wedding".
Chen Wang sighed and looked out the window, where a huge hot air balloon floated past him.
To be precise, this is an advertising airship, both sides of the airship are the trademark of "Wang Laoji", and the shell painted red is very ostentatious, it is estimated that the two women were short of time when renting, and they didn't even have time to change the advertisement.
Putting the phone in his pocket, Chen Wang leaned on the window and whispered, "Two beauties, I want to ask, can this thing really fly to the 60th floor?" β
"Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable!"
As soon as his words fell, the lazy female voice came from the Bluetooth headset, which seemed to be mixed with the sound of chewing potato chips: "FP manned - 44 meters manned boat, 44 meters long, 12 meters high, maximum speed of 80 km / h, flight altitude can reach 300 meters above the city, not to mention 60 floors, even if you jump directly from the 70th floor, you can catch it!" β
Chen Wang couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "So can you tell me the specific details of the mission?" All I know now is that I'm going to a stranger's wedding! β
"This..."
The sound of chewing potato chips on the other end of the headset paused obviously: "We'll let you know when you get in." β
"Alright, now let's finalize the details of the mission."
The deep voice in the headset sounded again: "You are in charge of going to the wedding, and we are in charge of logistics." β
"Cut off the power to the building around half-past seven."
"Then block the wireless signal in this place at the same time, otherwise it will be too hard for the newcomer to be beaten by the security guards on the 70th floor as soon as he gets out of the mission."
"The fifty-three layers of tempered glass are the weakest, just retreat from there."
"Newcomers remember to bring a high-frequency shock device."
......
The two female voices added the details of the mission in the headset one by one, and they even planned out where Chen Wang should be in each time period, even if the FBI, which had seen countless vicious bandits, came to see such a careful plan of action, he had to sigh that the planner was a genius.
It's a team, a team of thugs with a lot of experience.
Chen Wang snorted and looked down at the watch on his left wrist, which happened to be seven twenty.
It's time for dinner.
Putting the mobile phone in his pocket, Chen Wang walked to the elevator on the side, pressed the down button, and then raised his head and looked at the scenery in the distance again.
It can only be said that it is worthy of the observation deck of the top of the boulder, Chen Wang can get a bird's-eye view of Manhattan at a glance, and with his eyesight, he can even see a white couple kissing and tearing down the curtains in a tall building in the distance.
Chen Wang smiled under his breath and walked into the elevator that opened in front of him.
......
The limestone building is 70 storeys and more than 260 meters high, and is home to some of the world's most prestigious and even niche hotels, top private clubs, and specialized institutions for the wealthy, such as Christie's auction house, or Christine Hotel.
It's just that compared to Christie's, the Christine Hotel is not very well-known, and even the business elite who frequents the building may only have a vague impression of it - there is about such a place, which occupies three floors of the building.
It's not that the scope of service is too niche, but the main reason why it's not famous is that it's closed all year round and doesn't accept any reservations.
In other words, someone bought such a property in the Rockefeller Building, where every inch of land is valuable, only to leave it there to be dusty.
Today, for the first time, the hotel opened, and for the first time, people saw the waiters in the storeβall Belarusian girls standing in front of the hotel, neatly arranged in two rows, each of them looking the same height with carefully adjusted heels.
Tortoiseshell eyes, long pale blonde hair combed into a high ponytail on the top of the head, a pure white off-the-shoulder long dress, beautiful collarbones looming, the fabric of the skirt is as white as if transparent, slightly reflective, like angel wings, but not exposed at all.
Everyone who passes by can't help but stop, even women.
It's a pure appreciation of beauty.
"It's all Alexander McQueen's wedding dresses."
"New for the season."
Two fashion designers passed by and instantly recognized the girls' clothes, which were the latest collections of the season, and it was not difficult for someone like him to be at the forefront of fashion.
At the same time, it was determined that this was not a catwalk selling clothes - how could there be a catwalk with the same clothes?
The owner of the hotel has not yet shown up, such a scene is the first to start, shocking the people at the scene in advance, at this moment everyone is secretly guessing the identity of the owner in their hearts: is it a prince of Saudi Arabia, or a top rich man in the European royal family?
Someone whispered to the pretty girls in English, trying to ask what was going to happen here, but the pretty girls replied with a slight smile at most, and had no intention of answering the question.
This scene continued until half past eleven, and the moment the elevator door slowly opened, all the girls turned their heads, held flowers in their hands, and bent slightly towards the elevator door.
Coming out of the door were two men, holding hands, one in a neat black suit and the other in a white wedding dress.
The blonde girl in a black suit greeted the people around her generously, she grinned, her brows were undisguised with pure beauty and joy, and her steps were light as if they had wings in their shoes; The white veil next to her didn't say a word, and slowly walked in the direction of the hotel with her footsteps.
In an instant, everyone present understood.
It seems to be a wedding.
It's just that it's a little different from ordinary weddings, this wedding belongs to two... Girlish.
So there are no groomsmen in this wedding, only bridesmaids.
The crowd made way for the two girls to make way to the hotel, and they stood silently on both sides of the road, like soldiers guarding the Queen.
As they walked the red carpet, the orchestra, who didn't know where to hide, began to play Wagner's "Wedding March", which opened like the wedding of a king.
Everyone present took it for granted that the wedding of the century naturally had to be accompanied by such a top band and music.
It was a feast for the eyes, and the only thing that made it a shame was that there was no way to enter the interior of the Christine Hotel and participate in the wedding.
Of course, Chen Wang is not among them.
As soon as he got off the elevator, he saw the back of the bride and groom walking into the hotel, he made his way through the crowd, and when he approached the group of beautiful Belarusian girls, he took out his mobile phone, and an electronic wedding invitation was immediately displayed on the screen of his mobile phone.
This is something given by Lu Mingze, and the ID in the lower left corner indicates the uniqueness of this thing.
The girl at the head confirmed the authenticity of the invitation, nodded slightly, and motioned for Chen Wang to continue walking.
Chen Wang walked on this red carpet full of flowers, accompanied by a girl, and even felt a little lost for a while, he looked at the girls standing next to him, and felt that each one looked like the legendary Greek goddess with exquisite makeup.
Every time he passed a young girl, the girl would bend slightly to him: "Welcome to the Christine hotel."
People looked at Chen Wang's figure walking slowly with envy, and only felt that he was now walking on the staircase to heaven, and at the end of this staircase was the legendary Gentle Township, which was ONE PIECE.
Chen Wang approached the door of the hotel, and immediately a young girl thoughtfully opened the huge door made of sandalwood for him, and when he stepped into the threshold, he only felt that the place in front of him was ethereal and clear, like the glass world mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures.
The ground is made of crystal glass, the five-colored lights change beneath the feet, but in the sky are quaint wooden pillars and red-toothed cornices, and the vermilion wooden staircase spirals along the four walls.
The decoration is very ancient, and you can see at a glance that it is definitely from the master's handwriting.
But in the next second, Chen Wang suddenly felt that something was not right.
It seems a little too quiet here.
