Chapter 601: The Secret Passage of the Sarcophagus (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes)

Today the weather is good, the sun is shining, the temperature seems to be a few degrees higher than usual, not so cold.

The Old North Church is bustling inside and outside, and tourists can be seen everywhere!

Around 10:50 a.m., many visitors are touring the interior of the church or the Rivera Gardens, taking pictures, or thinking about where to go for lunch and what to eat!

At this moment, a terrible and piercing siren suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, completely tearing apart the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere around this famous historical building.

When the sirens sounded, people immediately walked out of the church or to the ends of the garden, and looked out into the streets, and everyone's eyes were full of doubts and a little worried!

"What's going on? There are so many police cars, it sounds like they're coming to the church!"

"I don't know, there's nothing going on around! Maybe the police are making a big fuss, and these guys have already become frightened birds! A big fart can make a huge move!"

In the midst of the discussion, two huge Bearcat armored vehicles rushed into everyone's field of vision from east to west, and the FBI words on the body were very conspicuous!

They were followed by more than a dozen Taurus police cars, all emblazoned with the words FBI.

That's not all, two helicopters roared from the sky, and as can be seen from the fuselage identification, one is an FBI police helicopter, and the other is an NBC TV interview helicopter.

After flying over the Old North Church, two helicopters hovered in the air at an altitude of more than 100 meters, and the huge engine whistling shook everyone near the Old North Church.

From west to east on Hannover Street, several police cars also drove at high speed, and the sirens were extremely harsh!

The police cars sped along the road and signaled through loudspeakers to stop or divert lanes, causing chaos on Hannover Street.

When they reached a distance of more than 20 meters from the south entrance of the Rivera Garden, they all stopped, and a dozen wheels crossed the street, directly blocking the entire Hannover Street.

The other two streets near the Old North Church were similarly blocked by the police and the FBI.

Seeing everything that was happening in front of them, the people inside and outside the Old North Church and in the Rivera Gardens were completely stupid, and fear began to grow in everyone's hearts!

"Squeak——!

A screeching sound of brakes rang out.

The large convoy from the east stopped at the south entrance of the Rivera Gardens, opposite the new church on the south side of the old North Church.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of uniformed FBI agents swarmed out of the police cars, and many of them had anger on their faces, as if someone owed them 300 yuan and didn't pay it back!

In addition to the uniformed FBI agents, more than a dozen heavily armed FBI SWAT officers poured out of the two Bearcat armored vehicles, and their faces were also very ugly.

In addition, in a few bulletproof SUVs a little farther away, there were also more than a dozen heavily armed guys, all carrying automatic rifles, fierce and vicious, very strong!

A bunch of guys with cameras and NBC logos on them are coming to the eye!

What the hell is going on? How come I don't know that there is such a big movement?

Everyone at the scene was confused, they couldn't figure out the situation at all, but they were terrified!

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the FBI was quick to give an explanation.

"We are the FBI, we are here to perform official duties, please understand and cooperate, don't be nervous, don't panic, line up and leave in an orderly manner!"

Through the car loudspeaker, Joey's voice reached everyone's ears.

Hearing this explanation, the tourists and pedestrians at the scene were somewhat relieved.

There doesn't seem to be an imminent danger, just leave as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, people no longer bothered to admire the famous National Historic Landmark in front of them, and turned away from this place.

It was only after two or three consecutive broadcasts that Joseph and Joy got out of the command vehicle and prepared to deploy the arrest operation.

As soon as the two of them got out of the car, they saw David leading a group of people from the Brave Dreadnought Exploration Company to come over, but there was no Ye Tian and Matisse!

After being stunned for a moment, Joey immediately asked in surprise:

"David, where's that Steven? Why didn't you see him, and his Paramount Marauder is gone, what the hell is going on?"

There was nothing to hide, and David immediately told the truth.

Steven is gone, and he's going to sneak into the underground palace through another secret passage to keep Thompson up close to prevent the old guy from going crazy and setting a time bomb or setting fire to destroy the incriminating evidence!

In addition, there are many deadly traps set up in the passage to enter that underground palace from the apartment building of the old North Church, which is very dangerous, and he is ready to lift it from the inside to avoid unnecessary casualties!"

Joseph and Joey were completely dumbfounded and froze in place.

After two or three seconds, the two of them came to their senses, and Joseph immediately said in annoyance:

"There's another secret passage? Steven, this bastard didn't leak a word at all, and he hid it from us! What an out-and-out bastard, with too many eyes!

How many secrets does Steven's bastard have? Can't he tell them all at once? It's so torturous to have to release them little by little like squeezing toothpaste!

You must know that there are other secret passages, let's send someone to rush in through that secret passage, and catch turtles in an urn, won't everything be solved!

You ask me, who do I ask? Lao Tzu is also confused! God knows how many secrets that Steven guy has!

David complained secretly, but what he said was something else.

"Why didn't Steven tell everyone that there was another secret passage, presumably there was a reason for him, maybe because that secret passage was very dangerous, in order to avoid casualties, he didn't tell everyone.

It's also possible that he wanted to leave a glimmer of hope for Thompson, lest the old guy find himself cornered and end up burning, which no one would want to see.

Although Steven does not act with everyone, he will always keep in touch and keep each other informed of the situation to ensure that the operation is successfully completed and the Thompson gang is uprooted!

From now on, all the people on the scene who belong to the Intrepid Exploration Company are led by me and Mattis, and if you FBI have anything, you can contact us directly!"

Hearing this, what else can Joseph and Joey say, there is nothing to say!

"As long as we can solve this case successfully, find those top antique artworks that have been stolen, and end these art thieves who have been entrenched in Boston for twenty or thirty years and have committed many crimes!

As for Steven's bastard, let him go! To be honest, I've been in the FBI for so many years, and I've handled countless cases, and I've never seen a more difficult guy than him!

Joey rolled his eyes and said, with a helpless wry smile on his face!

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter, and everyone nodded in agreement.

......

At the same time, the cemetery of the Old North Church.

Matisse and Peter left in the Paramount Marauders, and Ye Tian walked alone to the depths of the cemetery, disappearing behind the bushes in a blink of an eye.

This is the exclusive cemetery of the Old North Church, located on a small hill north of the church, and has existed as long as the church, two or three hundred years old, and is the oldest cemetery in Boston!

The people buried here are basically the clergy of the Old North Church, with only a few exceptions, but they have something to do with the Old North Church.

After two or three hundred years, this exclusive cemetery has been buried to the brim, and there is not much open space.

The shape of this cemetery is an inverted L-shape, the main part is on the west side, and you can walk more than 20 meters from the east entrance, through a forest, and turn left to reach the main burial area.

On the east and south sides of the main burial area, there are several apartment buildings each, which just block the view in the direction of Charter Street, providing perfect cover for Ye Tian.

On the west side is Hall Street, go down this street, walk one or two hundred meters south to the north gate of the old North Church.

After turning left and entering the main burial area on the west side of the cemetery, Ye Tian immediately quickened his pace and strode forward.

As he went, he whispered through his invisible headphones:

"Kenny, I'm going to set up a pinhole camera, you're going to take the signal, and then start monitoring it right away, keep an eye on what is happening in the cemetery, and record it all!"

As he spoke, he quickly took out a pinhole camera that had been adjusted and stuffed it into the crevice of a large tree on the side of the road, facing the stone road he was on.

"Okay, Steven, I've received the signal, the picture is quite clear, the angle of view is good, although don't worry, I will record everything that happens in the cemetery, nothing is missing!"

Kenny's voice came through the headphones, and he was very excited to listen to!

"Okay, remember what I just said, the surveillance footage here must not be leaked!"

Ye Tian told him again, and easily arranged a pinhole camera.

During the journey, he quickly set up four or five pinhole cameras, and completely monitored the area, with almost no blind spots.

Walking more than twenty meters, Ye Tian came to an ancient tombstone.

This is the oldest tomb in the cemetery, and it can be seen from the text on the tombstone that the first priest who died after the construction of the Old North Church is buried here, and the first occupant of this cemetery.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the Old North Church put a lot of effort into building this tomb, and the entire tomb from the tombstone to the burial chamber is made of granite, which is very strong!

Although it has survived hundreds of years of wind and rain, this tomb is still quite well preserved, the handwriting on the tombstone is clearly legible, and the tomb is very complete, and there is not much damage!

But Ye Tian knew very well in his heart that this tomb was a disguise, a fake tomb specially built to cover up the secret passage leading to the underground palace of the Old North Church!

The skeleton in the sarcophagus in the burial chamber may not necessarily be the priest with the name engraved on the tombstone, God knows where the bones were found, used to fill the number and cover people's eyes!

There is no doubt that this is a very cleverly conceived secret passage, which is extremely difficult to be discovered, as evidenced by the fact that no one has discovered the underground palace after two or three hundred years.

The last time Ye Tian touched all the way here from the underground palace along the secret passage, and then took a look at the outside world, only to find that the exit was actually in a tomb, which surprised him very much.

Because this place is extremely secretive and almost impossible to be discovered, Thompson is very relieved and does not do anything here.

There are no pinhole cameras, no high-sensitivity electronic sensors, and no deadly traps, everything remains the same!

But alas, you're running into a buddy.

Under the perspective, everything is hidden!

Ye Tian chuckled, squatted down and hid a pinhole camera in the weeds in the corner of the tombstone, the position was very hidden, and it was extremely difficult to be detected.

Then he turned his head back and looked left and right.

Except for himself, there was no figure around, and the sight of the people in the apartment buildings on both sides was blocked by the tall trees in the cemetery, so there was no need to worry about it.

Besides, the attention of the people in the apartment building was attracted by the sound of sirens on the side of the old North Church at this time, who would pay attention to this cemetery!

After confirming that he was safe, Ye Tian took two steps forward and walked around to the back of the tombstone, squatted down with his back against the tombstone, and stretched out his hand to push away the stone slab covering the tomb.

Under the stone slab, there is a rectangular burial chamber, about five or six square meters, which is not a small space!

In the middle of the burial chamber is a gray granite sarcophagus carved with some religious motifs!

That's the entrance to the secret passage, which leads to the underground palace of the Old North Church!

After opening the tomb, Ye Tian did not enter immediately, the air inside needed to be convection, after all, it was a tomb that had been closed for many years!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took out a pair of black gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands, then gently jumped into the burial chamber, quickly restoring the stone slab above his head to its original shape.

In an instant, he vanished from the graveyard as if it had never been seen before, leaving no trace but the pinhole cameras.

Kenny and Bourne, who saw this scene on the surveillance screen, couldn't help but exclaim wildly.

They didn't see Ye Tian pushing the stone slab away, they only saw him walk behind the tombstone, and then disappear, of course it was terrifying!

Two or three seconds after Ye Tian disappeared, Cook and five of his subordinates suddenly broke into the monitoring range of the pinhole camera and appeared on the monitoring screen!

Seeing this scene, Kenny immediately reminded through the invisible headphones:

"Steven, that bastard from Cook is following you, with four or five men, stay safe!"

"Hahaha, just let them follow, I like these guys!"

Ye Tian said with a sneer, a trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

As soon as the words fell, he had put an outdoor headlamp on his head and flipped the switch casually.

The burial chamber, which was originally pitch black and could not be seen with five fingers in sight, immediately lit up.

After getting used to the light a little, Ye Tian immediately stepped forward, pressed the front end of the gray sarcophagus with both hands, and pushed the heavy sarcophagus out to the side with all his strength!

"Click"

With a slight turning sound, the front of the sarcophagus began to pan slowly in a clockwise direction.

The next moment, a dark hole immediately appeared in front of Ye Tian's eyes, and it became bigger and bigger!
