I made up myths in America

Chapter 15 First National Bank of the United States
The atmosphere in the tent was a little strange for a moment.

It's mainly Luke's problem.

He is not good at communicating with minors and tends to be a DINK, so he and his ex-wife have never had children after marriage.

So he felt a little at a loss when faced with his cousins ​​who suddenly showed up.

Fortunately, this is not a problem for the Indian boy Robert, because he is a typical chatterbox.

"Cousin Luke, your performance on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York was really cool. Can you tell me how you got your current super powers?"

"Is it like in a Hollywood movie, where you're secretly captured by an evil organization and used for human experiments, and then you go through all kinds of hardships and finally escape?"

"Or perhaps you were bitten by a special animal cultivated in a laboratory, like a longhorn beetle."

God knows what kids these days watch every day.

Faced with all the strange questions raised by Robert, Luke was even more confused.

He waved his hand to stop the boy from continuing, and said helplessly: "Stop, I haven't encountered any of the situations you mentioned. In fact, I suddenly woke up after being robbed and stabbed by a few black people."

"It's that simple?"

Robert was a little bit incredulous.

"Yes, it's that simple. I believe it was the obsidian bracelet my mother left me that gave me my power. You seem to recognize it?"

Luke also noticed the unusual behavior of them looking at his bracelet frequently, so he tried to learn more information from his two cousins.

"Yes, we have seen it."

Mina, the Indian girl beside her, nodded and said, "Our mother has an identical bracelet on her wrist. It's said that when she was a child, she was naughty and broke an obsidian dagger from her grandmother's chest. Later, to comfort her, Aunt Sophia collected the dagger fragments and polished them into two wearable bracelets. They each wear one."

"Is that so?"

Luke looked thoughtful when he heard this, and understood why the two of them suddenly recognized him.

This is quite a coincidence.

However, judging from this incident, Aunt Linda seems to have a very good relationship with my mother. If I could meet her, I might be able to learn more about my mother's past from her.

"."

Both the talkative Robert and the lively Mina looked a little embarrassed in response to Luke's request.

Robert said dejectedly, "My mother is sick. She has advanced brain cancer and is now lying in a coma in the hospital. The doctor said that if she doesn't have surgery, she has at most three months to live. So my sister and I are trying to find a way to raise the money for surgery and hospitalization."

"Uh"

Luke was suddenly speechless.

He thought for a moment, then took a step forward, raised his hands and gently hugged the two underage children, and said in a heavy tone: "I'm sorry to hear this news, Robert, Mina, I think maybe I can help."

"Great."

Robert's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he raised his head and asked, "Cousin Luke, are you planning to use your super powers to heal my mother?"

"No." Luke shook his head and said seriously, "I plan to rob a bank."

"what?"

Robert: (((;;)))
Mina: o(Д)っ!
Luke meant it.

The two consecutive real dreams made him feel very involved in the identity of Shules, a warrior of the Aztec Empire. It also gave him a sense of mission in his heart, as he had been confused after gaining super powers.

He believed that the reason he was blessed by the Aztec god at the moment of his death was perhaps because the god wanted him to retrieve the sacred object that belonged to the Aztecs.

Now, after hearing about the financial difficulties faced by his two cousins, he had another reason to rob a bank.

"So, you're going to rob the First National Bank of the United States?" Robert was stunned after hearing this.

He didn't expect that his cousin was so reckless that he looked down on even the small local banks and chose to rob the largest bank in Pennsylvania.

That's the First Bank of the United States, which is said to have a history of over 200 years and an impenetrable vault! !

Can Cousin Luke's fist break the vault door that is nearly one meter thick?

"I have a reason to go there. There is something very important to the Indians stored in the safe there."

Even though he knew it would be difficult, Luke had no intention of changing his mind.

He felt that since the relics left by the warrior Shules allowed him to take revenge and avoid such a cowardly death, he also had an obligation to help Shules fulfill his final obsession.

"I understand, Cousin Luke. If you just wanted to take something from the safe at First Bank of the United States and help my mother with the surgery money, there's no need to force your way in."

"Generally speaking, the safe deposit boxes at established banks like First Bank of the United States are separate from the vaults. Furthermore, since it was founded so long ago and hasn't been relocated for two hundred years, its underground defenses aren't very strong. There's a sewer running right under the bank, so we can dig a tunnel there and sneak in."

Unlike Robert's surprise, Mina stood there thinking for a while, and actually gave Luke a very useful and detailed suggestion.

For example, how should they determine the internal layout of the First Bank of the United States and the location of the safes?

And through the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate how much the tunnel from the sewer to the inside of the bank should be tilted so that it can reach the inside of the bank.

"???"

After Mina finished telling him her plan, it was Luke's turn to be shocked.

He looked at the black-haired girl in front of him who had come up with a perfect bank robbery plan in a short time, opened his mouth and exclaimed: "Mina, you are a genius!!"

"I'm such a genius."

At the same time, in Philadelphia, the capital of Pennsylvania, Lu Bai used the innate ability from the lovebirds to walk inside the First National Bank of the United States as if no one was around.

Whether it was the staff inside the bank or the guards patrolling with guns, they all turned a blind eye to the stranger in front of them.

Even the cameras installed in various places did not capture any footage of Lu Bai.

He came to the room where the safe of the First National Bank of the United States was kept as easily as a man in the air.

There are rows of safes here.

The earliest of these can even be traced back to the American Civil War.

Driven by the public's need to preserve valuables and some ill-gotten gains from wars, the safe deposit business began to take shape in the United States as early as 1861.

In old banks with hundreds of years of history, such as the First National Bank of the United States, there are some items in the safe that have not been claimed for so long.

For example, now, Lu Bai swept his mental power through these rows of safes and quickly found one that met his needs.

The safe contained more than ten kilograms of gold, two thousand US dollars, a Colt M1851 Navy revolver, and a cowhide notebook.

Based on the contents of the notebook, Lu Bai identified the owner of the safe.

A major in the Union Army during the American Civil War.

Before joining the war, he was worried that he would not be able to come back, so he deposited these valuables in this bank and paid all the storage fees in one lump sum to ensure that these items could be kept there forever.

In this way, if he died on the battlefield, his family in Europe would have the opportunity to come to the bank to retrieve these things after receiving the letter.

Unfortunately, things are unpredictable, and his family probably didn't receive the letter.

These things were kept in a bank safe and no one had cared about them until Lu Bai discovered them.
