Chapter 43 Never Let People Down
Chapter 43 Never disappoints
Generally speaking, not to mention the danger of going down the spiral staircase, the most important thing is that even if Locke can enter from the entrance and find the secret room, he cannot open the stone wall, so Locke chooses another way.
That is the exit of the treasure. This is another way Locke thought of, and the location of the exit of the treasure is also very simple. People who don't know the inside story will never think of it.
There are a large number of famous Masonic coffins stored here. The exit is located behind the second tombstone on the right side of the entrance. This is the principle of darkness under the lamp.
It can be said that the designer who buried this treasure was very good at taking advantage of people's psychology.
After thinking for a while, Locke restored Packington Lane's coffin to its original position, and then carefully placed the entrance tombstone back. After making sure that no problems were found, he carefully opened the exit tombstone.
Different from the previous tombstone, after this tombstone is opened, there is no coffin inside, only a narrow stone cave.
Locke did not hesitate and climbed in. About ten meters forward, the passage began to become wider and stone steps appeared.
After walking along the stone steps for half an hour, Locke saw a stone wall.
He searched around but couldn't find any switch.
Obviously, this stone wall can only be opened from the inside. In other words, only by entering from the entrance is it possible to enter the place where the treasure is buried.
The discoverer of the treasure can get 10% of the overall value of the treasure. The value of the treasure in the movie is at least tens or even tens of billions of dollars.
In this regard, the US government will never disappoint.
Moreover, most of the treasures are gold, jewelry and works of art. During the valuation, as a nobody, Locke is 100% sure that those in the US government will definitely do a lot of tricks.
"Hey, Locke!" After running for a while, he heard a female voice coming from behind.
When they were being free and easy, their family also faced problems, such as lawn mowers and plumbers who often appeared. Similar plots are a very popular series in the San Fernando Valley.
"I chose mathematics, and the mathematics department at Princeton University is the best in the United States." Locke directly explained the reason.
After thinking for a long time, Locke had no idea how to find the ship.
Holding Tang Wei, who was still sleeping, Locke began to recall the plot of the movie, trying to find clues on how to find the pipe.
He first ruled out using explosions to blow open the stone door because he could not guarantee that the underground cave where the treasure was kept was strong enough.
If it accidentally explodes, Locke will most likely be buried inside without having time to escape, regardless of whether he can get the treasure again.
When this set of rhetoric is widely accepted by the public, psychological counselors who provide marriage counseling can openly comfort and say:
This kind of thing is too common. If you want to live a good life, you have to put some green on your head and persuade people to look away. Only then can you barely suppress the high divorce rate and let people still have confidence in their families.
Unfortunately, in the end, he could only confirm that the key to unlock the mechanism was on a wooden cargo ship in the Arctic Circle. There was no specific location information at all, and searching for it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"I heard that you will go to college soon." The two of them continued running and chatting. They hadn't seen each other for a while, and Monica felt that Locke seemed more handsome than before.
As a result, the harvest is reduced not just ten times, but tens or hundreds of times.
But this only yields dollars.
As for telling the news to the US government, he didn't even want to.
"Thank you for your compliment, but I'm still far behind the real geniuses." Locke said with a smile: "I know two real geniuses. They are only eleven years old now, and they are already going to school at Princeton like me.
.”
Even if the chance is very small, Locke does not want to take this risk.
"Alice told me that you are an academic genius and have won a championship medal in the Mathematical Olympiad. You are not like my brother. He scored 1250 points on the SAT, but he always boasted that he scored 1450 points."
There are too many similar things. If the concept in the East is the same, the divorce rate, which originally reached 64%, will explode.
In the United States, all three-year-old children know that long-distance relationships are relationship killers. In later generations, there are many jokes about American Marines on the Internet.
These people are drifting away, often out of contact, and their wives or girlfriends are not around, so they spend their excess energy abroad.
Naturally, Monica didn't know the true relationship between Locke and Tang Wei, but she just felt lucky that he could come to New York: "Speaking of which, why didn't you choose Columbia University so that you could be in the same school as Alice?"
Romantic men like Joey or Barney also like to target these desperate housewives whose husbands are away from home all year round to comfort their lonely hearts.
"That's right, this way you can avoid having a long-distance relationship."
It's like when Mr. George Cooper met Sheldon's friend Dan for the first time, he was still a little nervous and asked if Dan's mother's name was Kim Lee. After getting a negative answer, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I can only come up with a new argument: "Your husband (wife) loves you, but he accidentally lost control of his hormones and made a mistake that both men and women make. You should forgive him (her) generously.
)."
In high school, Monica was a real fat girl. Now she has a slim figure. To achieve this, in addition to dieting, she also needs to maintain a lot of exercise for a long time.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was already past three o'clock in the morning. If I continued at this time, it would not be long before church personnel would have already gotten up to work.
"Good morning, Monica!"
"That's right, Princeton University is only a two- or three-hour drive from New York."
Thinking of this, Locke quickly returned, climbed out of the passage, carefully placed the tombstone back, checked carefully to make sure that no traces were left, and then quietly left the church and returned to the apartment.
Locke turned his head and waved to the girl who greeted him, it was Monica from Friends.
Monica has always disliked her brother. Her goal since childhood was to become a chef, so she did not go to college after graduating from high school, which made Ross laugh at her all the time.
"That's great. This way, you and Alice (Tang Wei) can be together often."
In the West, the distinction between heart and love is very clear. Even an occasional affair cannot be used as conclusive evidence to determine fault in a marriage. There are also reasons for this.
Lying on the bed again, Locke began to think about how to get the treasure.
He was upset for a long time, until the night gradually receded, and Locke couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and tidied up, changed his clothes and went for a run on the street outside.
In the past few days, Locke would always run into her when he was jogging nearby. In the past year, Locke would come to New York from time to time to see Tang Wei. The two of them would sometimes go to the bar, and naturally they got to know this regular customer of the bar.
"Really?!" Monica was surprised.
"Of course, Peggy Swanson and Sheldon Cooper, they're people I met in high school,"
At this point, Locke suddenly had an idea: "Speaking of Monica, are you interested in trying to be a temporary guardian?"
"Temporary guardian?!" Monica didn't understand why Locke suddenly jumped the topic so far.
