I made up myths in America

Chapter 16 The Heist of the Century

According to the current international gold price, the more than ten kilograms of gold stored in this safe is worth millions of US dollars.

Of course, this doesn’t mean much to Lu Bai.

He didn't come here for the money, but simply because he was attracted by the long-standing advantage of this safe and planned to add some stuff into it.

After all, the American officials and most of the onlookers only need to be shocked, while he, the mastermind behind the scenes, has a lot more to consider.

At this moment, as he thought about it, the safe opened automatically, and Lu Bai put a rain god mask made by himself using red copper, a specialty of Chongwu Mountain, into it.

Then the invisible moisture in the air soaked the ink on the notebook in the safe.

The ink that had dried in the shade was replenished with water and began to flow on the notebook paper, rewriting a new history according to Lu Bai's wishes.

Then the water was extracted by Lu Bai again.

The ink on the notebook paper became dry again, no different from before.

But the words recorded on it have become completely different.

While Lu Bai was busy, on the other side, the special investigation team urgently established by the American government was also not idle.

Contact the Pennsylvania National Guard to mobilize drone units suitable for small-scale urban operations. . . . .

In order to prevent the tragedy like the last time on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York from happening again, this time, under the command of George Gently, the members of the special investigation team each performed their duties, fully mobilized various resources, and wove an impenetrable network to capture Luke Duncan.

From Luke Duncan's appearance in Banshee Town to his meeting with his two cousins, all of this is under the control of the investigation team.

It was just that George Gently, the leader of the investigation team, thought that Banshee Town was close to the Appalachian Mountains.

In order to prevent Luke Duncan from escaping again by taking advantage of the complex terrain, George Gently suppressed the voices from above demanding immediate action and waited patiently.

Based on his understanding of the psychology of criminals over the years, people like Luke Duncan, even if they gain extraordinary abilities, will not engage in antisocial behavior that is highly destructive to those around them.

He came to Banshee Town where his mother was born and met his cousins ​​again.

Then the next step would most likely be to go to the hospital to see Aunt Linda, who is in a coma and has advanced brain cancer.

The investigation team has deployed a large number of personnel, heavy weapons, and attack drones near the hospital.

As soon as Luke Duncan stepped into it, he would be like a prey caught in a spider web, and it would be difficult to escape.

But things seem to have changed again.

Luke Duncan, Robert and Mina did drive to Philadelphia, but they did not go to the Presbyterian Hospital in the suburbs of Philadelphia, but to the First National Bank of the United States in the city center.

After wandering around and renting a safe, they went into the nearby sewer with a few shovels.

"???"

This strange behavior was completely unexpected by everyone in the investigation team.

William Stephen, the assistant director of the investigation team sent by the FBI, frowned and reiterated his previous suggestion.

"Sheriff George, I think we're ready to close the net. Luke Duncan didn't go to the Presbyterian Hospital in the suburbs as you said. There's no need to wait any longer; it will only give him more opportunities to escape."

"Wait a little longer. It will take time for the heavy firepower and drone teams deployed near the hospital to be transferred here."

George Gently also frowned.

"Besides, if Luke Duncan is planning to rob a bank to raise money for Aunt Linda's surgery, this might be a good thing for us."

"The sturdy vault beneath the First National Bank of the United States will help us completely trap this ferocious beast."

".Okay, if you insist."

William Stephen felt that what he said made some sense, so he did not insist.

Of course, the most important thing is that he feels that he has fulfilled his obligation to remind. If something goes wrong, it will be because George Gently acted on his own will, and the blame will not be on him.

Boom! !

Time passes by minute by minute as I wait.

When the investigation team's personnel and heavy firepower deployed near the hospital were quietly transferred to the vicinity of the bank, thunder rumbled in the sky and bean-sized raindrops fell without warning.

"Cousin Luke, it seems to be raining outside." In the sewer under the First National Bank of the United States, Mina reminded as she looked at the suddenly rising sewage.

"It's just right that it's raining. The sound of rain can cover up these sounds."

Luke is working hard as a human excavator.

For ordinary people, the project would take at least ten days or half a month, but his exaggerated physical strength reduced it to less than half a day.

Seeing that the tunnel leading diagonally from the sewer to the bank vault was about to be opened, Mina took out her phone to contact her brother Robert.

"Robert, you can move now."

"clear."

Robert's voice on the other end of the phone was excited.

Because according to the plan made by Mina, he and several of his trusted friends will play the important role of robbers next, rushing into the First National Bank of the United States with fake guns, pretending to rob the bank to attract the attention of the staff and police.

Then Cousin Luke and Mina sneaked into the bank vault, pried open the safes one by one, and took the mask of the rain god Tlaloc and the ill-gotten gains hidden there by the white people.

Then they could sneak away through the tunnel.

Before leaving, leave all those fake guns at the bank.

In this way, even if they are caught later, they will not be sentenced to heavy sentences by the court because they are minors and only used a fake gun to rob a bank and did not hurt anyone. They may be released in less than a year.

"Why didn't I realize before that Mina is so smart."

The more Robert thought about it, the more he thought it was a brilliant plan.

The muscular, yellow-skinned boy standing next to Robert rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, saying speechlessly, "What do you think? Mina has been thinking about this plan for a long time. She even has the bank's floor plan ready. She just didn't tell you."

"what?!"

Robert widened his eyes upon hearing this, and looked at his friends around him, saying in disbelief:

"So you all knew the plan a long time ago, and I was the only one who didn't know?"

"Yes."

The other two teenagers also nodded while suppressing their laughter.

"Damn it!!"

Robert was so angry that he rushed over and strangled their necks and shook them.

After hearing their pleas for mercy, he finally let go of their hands contentedly and hummed softly:
"Don't think I don't know what you guys are thinking. I'm warning you, if anyone dreams of becoming my brother-in-law, I will definitely duel with him."

"You talk as if you can beat us."

The yellow-skinned, muscular boy rolled his eyes again upon hearing this and brought the topic back on track:

"Okay, time is running out. Everyone, remember to disguise yourself and don't let people associate you with Indians."

"I have no problem with that. You all say I look white anyway."

The speaker was a very white Indian boy. His mother was an Amish who lived in Banshee Town. He looked no different from ordinary American white people. Therefore, he was often bullied by other Indian children when he was a child. It was Mina, as the big sister, who stepped forward to help him.

"That's fine with me. I'm a little dark, but my facial features are well-defined, so I should be able to pass myself off as Mexican."

The other Indian boy was also prepared. He confidently took out an amulet often worn by Mexicans and put it around his neck.

"Then I'll pretend to be Mexican too."

Robert followed suit and hung an amulet around his neck.

Then they all looked at the yellow-skinned boy who had just spoken.

The other person's skin was neither black nor white, and had a standard Indian appearance. They were all a little curious about which country he was pretending to be.

"Ahem, shit, why are you all looking at me like that? I'm going to be the Korean Kim Jong-hee."

The yellow-skinned boy put on the suit he had prepared and spoke seriously.
