Marvel’s Princess Chapter 345: Crack the password
"Thirty-five dollars, sir." After Mao Mei left, the black saleswoman still had a straight face and did not forget to tell Ben Gates to pay.
Ben Gates didn't notice any problem. He continued to dig out his wallet, but after searching for a long time, he only had thirty-two dollars on him.
The black saleswoman was determined not to let him go. She spent nearly ten minutes bargaining, swiping her credit card, and trying to talk her way out.
When he left the side hall, he was already sweating. Thinking about his extra expenses, he was a little dumbfounded. Such a print cost thirty-five dollars? It’s so expensive!
Before the smile disappeared from his face, he regretted it. He had just swiped his card! This is evidence that he stole the Declaration of Independence!
He walked quickly out of the door of the National Archives. Worried about being tracked by state agencies, he did not dare to return to the hotel, but went to his father's house.
To deceive the old man, he took out the Declaration of Independence and carefully smeared lemon on the back of the declaration, trying to make the invisible potion appear. Unfortunately... there was no writing at all. Then he heated it with a hair dryer, but the result was still the same. Nothing was found.
There is nothing behind the Declaration of Independence? Has your clue been broken? Or is this a ridiculous farce?
He sat dejectedly on the chair, his whole being immersed in deep self-doubt.
On the other side, Bella and the others are also watching the real Declaration of Independence.
In order to dispel Ben Gates' motivation to continue tracing, Bella did not fool with the thirty-five-dollar printed matter. Instead, she ordered her subordinates to make a high imitation of the Declaration of Independence, which was more like the original than the original.
The Brotherhood is actually an ancient thieves organization and thieves guild. Counterfeiting is commonplace. They have been doing this for more than two thousand years! Totally on the level of the Grandmaster! Forging a Declaration of Independence that is more than two hundred years old is such a simple and trivial matter.
Not to mention Ben Gates, a historian, even an expert who specializes in identifying cultural relics can't see any flaws.
Take it back and display it as a genuine product, there is no problem at all.
Today, in order to preside over the entire treasure hunt, Bella assumed the identity of a mentor, with a white hood, a stabbing sword hanging on her waist, and a hazy face.
She is now watching the Declaration of Independence with Brotherhood historian and analyst Sean Hastings.
As a guest and event participant, 006 also came to join them. At this time, he folded his arms and stood aside to watch.
Shawn Hastings smeared lemonade on the back of the Declaration of Independence, while Mao Mei heated it with a hair dryer. Soon, the hidden writing slowly emerged.
Mao Mei quickly picked up the pen and paper on the side to take notes.
"7-9-6, 10-15-8, 14-8-2..." are all numbers like this.
"Do you understand what this means? Is it the latitude and longitude?" 006 asked.
He was the only outsider at the scene, and he knew this very well. Bella was dressed strangely, but he could tell at a glance that these mysterious guys were like some kind of ancient association, and they were vaguely repelled by him.
Curiosity now outweighed worry, and he asked involuntarily.
"Yeah, I know, this is the Ottendorf code." As if seeing 006's confusion, Bella took off her gloves and explained a few more sentences.
"There is nothing mysterious. The first number represents the page number of the document, the second number represents the line of this page, and the third number represents the letter of this line. Connect these into a sentence, It should be the next clue."
"Documents? What documents?" 006 is indeed an elite agent. His body is not as good as before, but his mind is still sharp and he immediately grasped the key points.
Bella smiled: "I didn't know at first, but Dr. Ben Gates helped us find clues."
She stretched out her hand, and the fraternity member beside her immediately handed her a thick stack of printing paper.
"When Benjamin Franklin was fifteen years old, he secretly wrote fourteen letters to his brother's newspaper. He used a female tone and claimed to be a middle-aged widow. This guy probably also likes women's clothing... ..He named himself Cyrus Dogood... Don't know how Ben Gates got this clue, but look at these Ottendorf codes."
Bella pointed to the record on the paper and said: "The numbers in the first line are all in the range of one to fourteen, which corresponds to the fourteen letters written by Benjamin Franklin."
She was explaining the key to 006. On the other side, Sean Hastings was already energetically leading several people to decipher the Ottendorf code.
"7-9-6....is S."
"11-3-5...is I."
"9-1-7...is A."
All letters are connected to form a paragraph.
Sean Hastings read carefully: "The treasured scenes of the past will appear in the timely shadows in front of Paz and Stowe's houses at some point."
"Who are Paz and Stowe?" 006 didn't want to appear ignorant, but his character was very curious, and he felt uncomfortable not asking clearly at this time.
Sean replied smoothly: "It should be John Paz and John Stowe, who together cast the Liberty Bell in the Revolutionary War."
"July 8, 1776, is an important date in American history. The Liberty Bell was rung when the Declaration of Independence was issued on this day. This clue should refer to the Liberty Bell."
"The Liberty Bell is in Philadelphia, let me go find the next clue." Sean volunteered.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Bella nodded in agreement.
Sean led a team to Philadelphia, while Bella and the others headed to New York. Her divination showed that the treasure was buried in New York.
Ben Gates, an outsider, can rely on clues to find the treasure bit by bit. It is difficult to say that the true master of the Knights Templar would know nothing about it.
If nothing else, if they find the descendants of Benjamin Franklin and use the Animus to read the information in the descendants' genes and reconstruct the memories of their ancestors, they have a high chance of finding these treasures.
This is the overbearing power of the Animus. It doesn’t matter if there are no clues. We can get to the source in one step. Who can analyze the clues with you step by step.
When the Brotherhood split up and prepared to open the treasure, Dr. Ben Gates was arrested in Washington, D.C. Strictly speaking, he surrendered.
The witnesses and physical evidence are all available, as well as the time, means and motive of the crime. Under the FBI's search, there is no place to run.
"Dr. Ben Gates?" The FBI agent responsible for handling the case looked a bit old. He asked his men to leave, moved a stool himself, and sat in front of Ben Gates.
"I need my lawyer to be there..." Ben Gates was interrupted by the other party's laughter before he finished speaking.
"Hahahaha - Doctor, you have no idea who you are dealing with. For so many years, you have been looking for traces of the Knights Templar. Now that the Knights Templar have found you, what do you want to say? "?" the old detective said with a smile.
