A few minutes later.
Xiao Ran and the others came down from the second floor and came to the lobby on the first floor.
At this time, everyone in the joint exploration team has packed up their equipment and is ready to leave.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others coming down, someone immediately asked impatiently:
"Sean, what did you find on the second floor? Where should we explore next?"
Following these words, everyone at the scene looked at Xiao Ran.
"We found something on the second floor. We will tell you later."
"Now we can leave here and go to the small church not far away."
"That small church may be the end point of our joint exploration operation."
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, cheers immediately erupted from the scene.
John, Jack and others who came down later had their eyes shining with excitement.
While he was talking, the door to Faneuil Hall had opened.
As soon as the door opened, a biting cold air rushed in with a lot of snowflakes.
Xiao Ran stepped out against the wind and led everyone towards the door.
When they came to the door, Marvin and others stood at the door and immediately handed everyone an umbrella to cover the heavy snow.
Xiao Ran took the umbrella, then stretched out his hand to open it, and then walked out of Faneuil Hall.
At this time, the outside was completely covered with thick snow.
The goose-feather heavy snow is still flying all over the sky, and it is getting heavier and heavier.
Outside Faneuil Hall, a large number of people and media reporters gathered to watch the excitement.
Some of these guys were holding umbrellas, and some were wearing down jackets and hats, all wrapped up tightly.
But without exception, they almost turned into snowmen.
There seemed to be many familiar faces in the crowd, but they couldn't be seen clearly.
Seeing that the visibility outside was too poor, Xiao Ran directly turned on the perspective and quickly looked through the crowd of onlookers not far away.
He didn't even miss the vehicles parked on the roadside and looked through them one by one.
Under the perspective, he saw old friends such as Samuel and Julian, as well as several professors from MIT and Fultz University.
In addition, there are some agents from the British MI5 and FBI, as well as many guys hiding guns and with ulterior motives.
There are also several security personnel under his command, mixed in the crowd, secretly protecting the joint exploration team.
Of course, the most people gathered around to watch the excitement, and some media reporters who came after hearing the news.
While Xiao Ran was taking stock of the scene, people also saw them.
"Look! Sean and those guys are finally out!"
"They have been in Faneuil Hall for such a long time and braved the heavy snow to come here to explore, so they must have discovered something."
People started talking and the scene became more lively.
The media reporters standing at the front of the crowd immediately started asking questions at the top of their lungs.
"Good afternoon, Sean. I am a reporter from the Boston Chronicle. What did you find in Faneuil Hall? Can you brief us on the situation?"
"Hello, Sean, I am a reporter from the Washington Post. Is the colonial treasure you are looking for in Faneuil Hall?"
After hearing these questions, Xiao Ran stopped immediately.
He glanced at these media reporters, then smiled and said loudly:
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, fellow journalists, thank you for your attention, thank you for your hard work."
"It's snowing so heavily outside, and it's election day, so everyone actually comes here to watch the fun. It's really unexpected. It seems like everyone has a heart for gossip!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
Before the laughter subsided, someone started to complain loudly.
"Those politicians in Washington are all liars. None of them are good. I don't care about the damn election!"
"That's right! Instead of caring about the fraudulent election, we might as well come here to watch the fun!"
"Watching you explore unknown treasures is much more interesting than watching those liars perform!"
These topics are too sensitive, especially today.
Xiao Ran did not dare to continue, and then continued:
"There is no need to hide it. We did make some discoveries today, but what exactly this discovery is, we can't say yet."
"I believe it won't take long for the results to be released. If everyone is really fine and has time, you can continue to pay attention."
"The weather is bad today. If you feel cold or hungry, you can go to a nearby restaurant or cafe and have a cup of hot coffee or something to eat. It will be credited to my account."
"Reminder, I am only responsible for paying for everyone's lunch. To avoid drunk driving or someone freezing to death on the street, I will not pay for the wine, nor can I take it out..."
Before he finished speaking, cheers and laughter immediately erupted from the scene.
"Awesome! Sean, you are such a generous guy"
“There are some very good restaurants here, and you’re welcome!”
Everyone at the scene joked loudly, and everyone was excited.
Drinking fragrant coffee, eating a big meal, and watching the exploration in the heavy snow. Who wouldn't be excited about such a good thing?
John, Jack and others who were also at the scene were stunned and froze on the spot.
Even Professor Baker and the others, as well as Professor Julian and others in the crowd, all had the same expression.
After a while, they finally woke up.
The first time they woke up, these guys secretly expressed a few emotions.
"Shaun is such a monster, he's so good at winning people over!"
"Fortunately, this guy is not a politician, otherwise he would definitely be a careerist!"
Next, Xiao Ran answered two more questions, then turned to look at John and Professor Baker.
"Gentlemen, let's go to the church. I hope we can find something."
With that said, he took Elaine out and walked towards the chapel first.
John and Professor Baker followed immediately, including many members of the joint exploration team.
That small church is very close to Faneuil Hall, so you can just walk there.
It's just that the snow on the ground is very thick now, and everyone is stepping deeper and shallower, so naturally they can't go faster.
Especially the many joint exploration team members dragging various exploration equipment, the speed is even slower.
Seeing Xiao Ran leading the team away, the guys gathered at the entrance of Faneuil Hall reacted immediately.
"The joint exploration team seems to be going to the small church next to it. Is the discovery that Sean just mentioned made in that church?"
"That must be the case, otherwise, that cunning guy Sean wouldn't be rushing over there now."
While there was a lot of discussion, the guys and media reporters who were watching the excitement also came over.
Samuel, Professor Julian and others mixed in the crowd were a little surprised.
"According to what I heard from Yale, the joint exploration team's goal for this trip does not include the Adams family's chapel!"
"The chapel was built in the early 19th century and has nothing to do with the colonial treasure, but why would Sean be there?"
Professor Samuel asked in surprise.
Before he finished speaking, Professor Julian immediately continued:
"Obviously, that guy Sean must have made a major discovery in Faneuil Hall."
"And this major discovery pointed to that small church, so he took people to explore there."
While discussing in low voices, they followed the flow of people and walked towards the chapel in the heavy snow.
At this time, everyone, including them, was filled with questions and curiosity.
After a while, Xiao Ran and the others arrived at the small church not far away.
This is a Gothic church, but it is not a pure Gothic building.
To be more precise, it is American Gothic architecture in the early 19th century, which is slightly nondescript.
At this time, the church stood among the snowflakes flying in the sky, which seemed a bit sentimental.
The roof of the church and the small square in front were covered with thick snow.
Xiao Ran and the others just arrived here, and the church door opened in time.
A priest came out of the church with his entourage.
John immediately stepped forward, whispered a few words to the pastor, and briefly introduced the situation.
The pastor was obviously stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
After thinking for a moment, the priest nodded.
Afterwards, John introduced Xiao Ran and Professor Baker, and then everyone walked into the small church.
Immediately afterwards, many members of the joint exploration team walked into the small church with various exploration equipment.
After everyone came in, the church door was immediately closed, blocking the sight of Fengxue and many onlookers.
As soon as he entered the church, Xiao Ran began to look at the interior of the small church.
Although this chapel is located on the Freedom Trail and is a historic building, it is rarely open to the public.
Under normal circumstances, tourists are not allowed to visit here, and ordinary believers are not allowed to pray here.
Only the Boston Brahmin family, headed by the Adams family, are qualified to pray here.
The rest of the ordinary citizens of Boston can only enter here to visit and pray on a few open days.
The decoration in this church is not luxurious, but rather low-key.
Like most Gothic buildings, it looks quite solemn and even a little eerie.
The layout of the church is the same as that of many churches, with many benches placed.
Moreover, these benches are quite old and look quite old, but the texture is very good.
The altar and prayer room in front are also very similar to other churches.
Different from other churches, there are many portraits of American celebrities, sculptures, etc. hung here.
The subjects depicted and portrayed in these portraits and sculptures of American celebrities are basically the founding fathers and revolutionary pioneers of the United States.
These include Samuel Adams, John Hancock, John Adams, Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Paul Revere, etc., everyone is famous.
Moreover, these oil paintings and sculptures are basically by famous artists, have a certain history, and each one is valuable.
In the corridors on both sides of the church, as well as in the corridor on the second floor, there are also some low-key and luxurious antique furniture, including an antique pipe organ.
Several of the bookshelves are filled with various books, most of which introduce the American independence movement, as well as religious books.
The vault above the church is a pointed arch common in Gothic architecture.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had already scanned the Gothic church.
Then, he looked towards the ground, preparing to see through the depths of the ground.
At this moment, the pastor who manages this church suddenly walked over.
Coming closer, the priest immediately asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Sean, are there really any unknown secrets or treasures hidden deep underground in this church?"
"I have been here for fifteen years and know this church very well, but I have never discovered anything like this."
"Not only me, but also previous pastors have not found anything, and there are no records in relevant materials either."
Xiao Ran looked at the priest, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"Whether there are unknown secrets or treasures hidden in this chapel, I am not sure now. This is just my speculation."
"This guess may be accurate, which is of course the best, but it may also be inaccurate and just an unrealistic guess."
"As for whether this speculation is accurate, we will carry out exploration to prove it. I believe it won't take long for the answer to be revealed."
The pastor paused, then nodded and said:
"Okay, you can explore, but please protect this historical building. It is not easy to preserve this building until now."
Xiao Ran smiled and continued:
"You can rest assured that we will not dig randomly here without clear results."
"Even if there are clear results, we will be cautious when excavating and will restore the place to its original state after completing the exploration."
Hearing this, what else could the pastor say?
He could only step aside and wait for the results to come out.
The next moment, Xiao Ran began to give orders and direct everyone to carry out exploration operations.
"Haipeng, you use a three-dimensional model and the trajectory of the sun to determine the point where the St. George flag is projected in this church."
"Jiajie, please introduce the situation to everyone so that everyone will not be confused. After introducing the situation, we can take the next step."
Before he finished speaking, Haipeng and the others responded in unison:
"Got it, leave it to us!"
As they spoke, they took action.
