Prodigal Son Gundam Series of Microcrystal Secrets (1)

（１）

Innsbruck is a very beautiful mountain town in Austria, surrounded by high mountains, forming a small basin in the Alps.

The mountains are covered with silver-white snow throughout the year, which is why it is called the “Silver City,” and the World Winter Games have been held here twice.

Now, it is the cold and windy late fall. We are close to the peak skiing season, when skiers from all over the world will be here to show off their skills, and there are even more people sightseeing and watching.

Prodigal Son Gouda, dressed in light yellow skiing gear and on skis, raised his binoculars with both hands and looked down the endless, snow-covered slopes, with his two poles sticking straight up in the snow beside him.

The place where he stands is on the flat rock near the summit, the starting point for skiers. Because of the extreme height of the terrain, skiers have to come up on the mountain aerial tram, otherwise they can’t reach it after climbing for most of the day.

In fact, most people who are really cool about skiing like to go to neighboring Switzerland. Why did Gouda show up here? It turns out he was waiting for someone, or more correctly, he came for an appointment.

It’s not the peak of the ski season, and it’s so early in the morning, and there’s not even a single person on the mountain, so it’s amazing that he can stand in the cold wind and wait. There were only three scenarios: the date must be a beautiful woman, a huge amount of money, or something special and exotic that would make his heart flutter.

In fact, up to the present, even he himself did not know why he came to the appointment. If he had to find a good reason for himself, there were only two words – curiosity.

When he received the mysterious telegram from Switzerland, there seemed to be an inexplicable impulse to decide on this trip.

The telegram reads, “Mr. Gouda, I have long heard of you, and if  you are willing to accept a gift for the good of all mankind, please come to Switzerland, I have already booked a room for you at the Swiss Hotel in Zurich, with all expenses prepaid, and I wish you a pleasant journey.”

The designation is “admirer”.

The “you” in the telegram is obviously not an invitation for Gao Da to go alone, but includes his “best friends”: lawyer Shi Chongchi, Fatty Fei nicknamed “Wanbaoquan”, Dr. Mo, counterfeit expert Jin Tianqin, pickpocket Ah Fat, locksmith Wan Jiao, and photographer Wei Songshi, among others. Dr. Mok, Professor Mok, counterfeiting expert Jin Te Kan, pickpocket Ah Fat, locksmith Wan Jiao, and photographer Wei Song Shi.

Since the others were not excluded, they were naturally unanimous in favor of taking the opportunity to travel to Switzerland.

And so it was that the party came to Zurich.

As it turned out, the unnamed “admirer” had booked them into five double suites at the Swissôtel and had paid in advance for a week’s stay. The clerk in the room department also gave Gouda a telegram that read.

“Mr. Gouda: There has been a temporary change in the situation and I am unable to meet you, so I hope you will come to Innsbruck alone and meet me at the Ski Club at 7:00 a.m. the day after you arrive to take the gondola up to the top of the mountain. I hope you will forgive me for not being able to do so. Admirer.”

Gouda had to leave the others in Zurich, temporarily go out on the street to buy a full set of skiing equipment, and hire a car to go to Innsbruck, more than two hundred kilometers away.

Arriving at the famous “Silver City” in the evening, Gouda simply stayed at the ski club at the bottom of the mountain, so as not to have to get up early the next day to get there.

Ever since they received the mysterious telegram, Prof. Mok and the others have been asking questions such as: what is “a gift for the good of all mankind”? Why was Koda chosen to receive it? And who is this “admirer”?

To get the answers, they had to travel to Zurich, and perhaps that was the best reason, if not an excuse, for them to come to Switzerland.

Before boarding the plane, the lawyer suddenly thought of a point: “Could this be a trap, trying to wipe us out?”

Fatty Fei immediately responded, “Then is it worth the risk for us?” Everyone looked to Gao Da as their leader, and their eyes turned to him in unison.

If at this point he just beat a retreat, the trip to Switzerland is immediately canceled, the big deal is just to sacrifice a sum of money for airfare. A mere ten or twenty thousand dollars, for Gouda is not at all its matter. But his conclusion is: “not into the tiger’s lair, how to get the tiger’s son.” Precisely because there may be a trap, more aroused his curiosity and interest, determined to take the risk.

Now that he was lying in bed, his thoughts kept coming back to the questions raised by Prof. Mok and the others, what was the “gift for the good of all mankind”?

It could be a large sum of money in a Swiss bank, enough money to solve the famine in all of Africa, or the formula for a new drug to cure cancer, the solution to the scourge of war around the world, or even a new source of energy that has never been known to scientists.

But why did the “admirer” come to him when he could have offered this “gift” to a world welfare organization or to any country if he had the heart to benefit all mankind?

The reputation of the prodigal son, Gauda, was by no means that of a man of “high moral standing” who could be relied upon to carry out important tasks.

So, thinking about it, there was only one possibility, admittedly, as Lawyer Toki thought of, that it was a trap. But instead of trying to wipe them out, the target was just him alone – the prodigal son Gundam.

The next morning, Gouda left for his appointment in full gear.

He had not seen anyone other than the sleepy janitor at the start of the aerial tramway while he was climbing the mountain. So he was holding his binoculars up to keep an eye on what was going on down the mountainside, and he could see anyone approaching the start of the cable car, because climbing was by cable car.

In this way, he could first know what kind of people were coming and the number of people coming, so that he could be prepared in his mind.

Unless…

Just as this thought flashed in his mind, he suddenly heard the sound of propellers “clattering” in the air, rapidly approaching from far away. Gundam turned around and looked up to see a helicopter flying over the mountains towards him.

He suddenly wondered if this mysterious “admirer” would fall from the sky, and as expected, the other party was really flying a helicopter to the appointment. Gundam was busy raising his hand and waving, greeting the helicopter.

This is a medium-sized helicopter that can carry up to nine people, including the pilot.

Gouda violently felt some suspicion, the other side wants him to come alone to the appointment, as much as possible to drive a two-seater helicopter, not only dexterity and convenience, but also will not attract too much attention, why driving a medium-sized, is not a little fuss.

However, if this was really a trap, then the other side would have to come with more manpower to deal with him, Prodigal Son Gouda. Gouda immediately and instinctively raised his guard.

The men in the helicopter had already spotted their target and landed vertically fifty meters away. As soon as the door opened, four burly men in full white snow combat gear with sunglasses on their faces jumped down and swooped down on Gundam.

As soon as Gouda saw that the other side was coming, he had enough time to get away by sliding down the hill. The four strong men were not wearing sleds, and would never be able to catch up. But if he did that, he wouldn’t be the Prodigal Son Gouda anymore. He hurriedly kicked off the sled and stood by.

The four strong men were also very agile and athletic, and when they got close to Gao Da, they spread out and attacked immediately. Gao Da had not fought with anyone for a long time, with his hands, he thought he could deal with these four strong men more than enough, so he was very calm, with a posture of no fear.

His eyes and hands were quick, glimpsing a strong man with open arms approaching, he threw a punch in his face, hitting his opponent’s lower rank. The power of this heavy punch was by no means inferior to that of a professional boxer. According to Godard’s own estimation, it would have knocked the other man on his back and put him to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the strong man received a punch, only pouncing on the potential to be blocked at a time, but instead of up to the whole body as if electrocuted like a big shock, was shocked to fall backward. Simply unbelievable, the strong man seems to have electrodes on the body, so that Godard could not help but be surprised.

Just as another strong man attacked from the right side, his whole body pressed down on him. Gao Da didn’t dare to repeat the same mistake, and hurriedly rolled on the ground, making the strong man pounce on him.

This situation was totally unexpected, Gundam would not have thought that the other party would attack without a second thought as soon as they saw him. The four strong men not only had electrodes running through their bodies, but they were most likely low-current, high-voltage electricity!

What’s the use of being able-bodied, not daring to touch them, he became a hero. Gouda instant decision, do not wait for the other two strong man close, has already jumped up, quickly rushed to wear back to the sled, pull up the stick inserted in the ground, will be to the hillside rushed to slip and go.

The four strong men, wearing sleds, were unable to catch up with the helicopter. But the helicopter immediately lifted off again and came in from the air.

Gundam’s hands continuously supported the ground with the sliding stick, making the speed of the slide increase, and followed the “S”-shaped slide to the bottom in a single leak.

The helicopter’s speed was even faster, pressing on in the air. Gundam was so disturbed by the sound of the propellers in his head that he lost his balance at a sharp turn, and fell to his back, spinning around, sliding and falling a dozen feet before stopping.

Before he could get up, the helicopter flew overhead and dropped a huge net, catching Gouda squarely in the air so that he could not break free.

After the men on board had hauled and hoisted up the netted Gundam and flown back to the peak of the mountain to pick up the four burly men from Hueiwa, a young girl dressed in all white, with a white cap and an oxygen mask over her face, crawled out of the snowdrift on the peak.

Since she had oxygen gear with her, she could hide in the snowdrifts without being easily detected. But there was nothing she could do as she watched the helicopter drift away and disappear.

Gundam was caught in a net and dragged to the helicopter when a jet of gas was sprayed in his face and he lost consciousness.

When he came to his senses, he didn’t know where he was, but his intuition told him that his whole body had been firmly bound to a chair. Hurriedly opening his eyes, he found that this was an antique European-style study, and on the high-backed swivel chair behind the large desk was sitting a woman in a full-body silver space suit, wearing a silver face helmet on her head, unable to see her true face.

And flanking Gundam behind him were the four burly men who had attacked him, still wearing their white snow combat suits and windshields on their faces.

When the woman on the swivel chair saw that Gouda had come to her senses, she raised the “microphone” in her hand and said something, but what came out of the “language converter” on the table was in Chinese, asking: “Who are you? “Who are you?”

Gouda grunted coldly: “You know exactly who I am, so why do you have to ask so many questions!”

The woman was wearing a headset, and only through the translation of the “language converter” could she understand what Gundam was saying: “I thought you were supposed to be Dr. Hibberd, but you’re not!”

“Dr. Hibberd?” Gouda was secretly stunned, for the name was all but unknown to him.

The woman stood up and walked towards Gundam with a microphone in her hand: “Although you are not Dr. Hibberd himself, I believe that he must have sent you to meet with Ms. Romari. Okay, you just need to hand over the ‘micro-piece’, we promise to keep our promise and release her.”

Only then did Gouda hear something, it may be that Dr. Hibberd’s hands, holds a very important “microchip”, and these people have a hostage in their hands, as a condition of exchange between the two sides. If Dr. Hibberd, or that Lo-Marie is the mysterious “admirer”, why did he get involved?

Gundam couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “You made an appointment with Dr. Hibberd?”

The woman shook her head : “No, but Miss Romary’s actions have been under our surveillance, and we believe that she will definitely meet with Dr. Hibberd today, we just didn’t expect to be represented by you, but Miss Romary herself has not shown up.”

Gundam smiled, “Would you believe me if I said that I don’t even know Dr. Hibberd, or that Miss Lomari?”

The woman said flatly, “I don’t believe it!”

Gundam made a helpless expression : “Whether you believe it or not, but it’s the truth.”

The woman wore a silver helmet, so it was impossible to see her expression, but her tone was filled with anger: “In other words, you’re not handing over the ‘microchip’?”

Gundam also replied blatantly, “I have no idea what you mean by ‘microchip’!”

The woman grunted angrily, walked back to the large desk, turned off the “microphone” switch, and “babbled” a few words to the burly men. Gundam, who was fluent in several languages, couldn’t make out which one she was speaking.

The two strong men standing behind him answered, each pressing one hand on Gouda’s shoulder, causing his whole body to jolt as if electrocuted, and then he fainted again.

When Gundam came to his senses again, he was in a different place, in an extremely brightly lit chamber. More appropriately, it was a cell.

The Marco Polo team has been working on a project for the Marco Polo team for the past two years, and the Marco Polo team has been working on a project for the Marco Polo team for the past three years. The Marco Polo team has been in a very good position to get to the top of the mountain, and they are now in a very good position to get to the top of the mountain, and they are now in a very good position to get to the top of the mountain, and they are now in a very good position to get to the top of the mountain!

Inside the chamber, all four walls were made of stone, there were no windows, only a heavy iron door, obviously it was a basement converted into a cell.

Gouda took a good look in all directions and couldn’t help but feel a great deal of exasperation and chagrin after determining that he couldn’t get out and there was nothing he could do about it.

The entire chamber was empty, with only an old felt bed on the floor. Gao Da sat down on the felt in frustration, thinking back on the whole incident, which made him laugh and cry. How could he have come across such an inexplicable misfortune?

The “microchip” is one of the major achievements in modern science, which can record an astonishing amount of text or photographs on a very small area of the chip. After the 1950s, spies (including commercial spies) from many advanced countries have widely utilized this technology to transmit highly classified information. Because of its small size, it is easy to cover or collect, and easy to carry, so the security is also very high.

The “microchip” held by Dr. Hibberd must be extremely important, so this group of people will do whatever they can to get it, even to the extent of using hostages as a coercion, and what is the identity of this group of people?

While this was going on, he suddenly heard the sound of unlocking outside the iron door. Gouda hastily lay down, pretending not to be awake, intending to wait for an opportunity.

When the iron door opened, a young girl was pushed in, and the door was then closed, leaving him with no chance to start. Narrowing his eyes, the girl who was pushed in wore a traditional European dress, but her skin color and face shape were oriental.

Seeing that the girl was also a “victim”, Gundam immediately sat up and intuitively asked, “Are you Ms. Romari?”

The teenage girl grunted and shook her head.

Gautama realized that she might be the hostage, but he didn’t know where to start: “And you are? …”

The young girl introduced herself, “My name is Joanie, I’m Dr. Hee’s daughter.”

Gundam let out an “Oh”, there was no doubt that the girl was a hostage in their hands.

Joanie sized up Gouda and asked, “What are you?”

Gundam stood up: “My name is Gundam. But I have to tell you up front that I don’t know Dr. Hitchcock or Mary Lo, and I don’t even know anything about the whole thing.”

Joanie gave a disappointed look, “So you didn’t come to save me and my mother?”

Upon hearing this, Gao Da realized that the hostage was not only the girl, but also her mother, so he could only force himself to smile: “I am a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, it is difficult to protect myself, how can I save you.

Joanie said in disbelief, “Then why are they forcing me to come and persuade you to hand over that ‘microchip’?”

Gouda shrugged his shoulders and said, “Probably they decided that I was sent by your father!”

Joanie sighed deeply and helplessly.

Gundam suddenly asked, “Ms. Joanie, who exactly are they?”

“This…” said Joanie, stunned and seemingly at a loss for words.

Gouda smiled and said, “Miss Joanie, although I don’t know your father, and I have nothing to do with this matter. However, we can be said to be in the same boat, and have become their prisoners. If you can tell me the whole thing, it may help me to figure out a way out.”

Joanie hesitated for a moment before saying, “They’re not Earthlings!”

Gautama was stunned and said, “So… so they are aliens?”

Joanie slightly nodded her head: “They came from a very distant planet, where the technology is very advanced, far beyond the people of Earth. With their ‘flying machines’ that are close to the speed of light, it would take nearly a year to reach Earth, so you can imagine how far away they are.”

Gundam couldn’t help but stare: “It’s really quite far away: but I don’t understand how your father got into trouble with the aliens?”

Joanie gave a raw, bitter smile, “Mr. Gao, I’m very tired, can I sit down?”

Gouda made a very dashing gesture, “Have a seat!”

When Joanie sat down sideways on the felt, Gouda sat down across from her as well.

“Mr. Ko…” Joanie hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, “If I tell you that my mother is also an alien, would you believe me?”

Gundam almost blurted out “I don’t believe it”! It was unbelievable. How could Dr. Hibberd’s wife be an alien? An alien marrying an Earthling? And what he saw in front of him, Joanie, was not only an “earthling”, but also a beautiful oriental girl!

However, Gouda had heard of the “strange incident” encountered by Dr. Yuan Zhenman. Didn’t that “strange old man” Li Dayou use human sperm and frog eggs in a test tube to combine two different genes in a highly advanced scientific breakthrough to produce a “strange child” that he regarded as his own child? The “freak” he considered his own son?

After all, aliens are “human beings”, and even if they look different from “earthlings”, or even have different genes, they must be closer than frogs combined with humans.

Joanie’s father is Dr. Hibberd, and even if her mother is an alien, it’s not impossible for two “humans” living on different planets to produce a daughter like her.

Gundam finally said in a firm tone, “I believe!”

“No!” Joanie shook her head slightly : “Mr. Gao, you can’t fool me, I can tell from the look in your eyes that you must think that I’m joking or even being nonsensical.”

Gouda neither admitted nor denied it, but merely surveyed the young girl intently, as if to find out from her.

Joanie sighed deeply again and said quietly, “I seem to have a hunch that my father will never give up that ‘microchip’ for me and my mother.”

Gundam said, “Oh?” “Because your mother is an alien, and you are half…”

Joanie said: “In addition to this reason, more importantly, my father is a science fanatic, in his mind, the achievements of science far outweigh everything. I even suspect that if my mother wasn’t an alien. Would he exchange us mother and daughter with a ‘microchip’.”

Gundam said in realization, “I see, what is recorded on that ‘microchip’ must be related to the high technology of the aliens, right?”

Joanie revealed a bewildered expression : “I’m not sure about this, but I believe that that ‘microchip’ must be very important for them to guard this place for so long, going so far as to threaten my father with my mother and I to hand it over.”

Gundam asked anxiously, “What is this place?”

Joanie shook her head again : “I don’t know, it seems like an old castle.”

Throughout Europe, there are still preserved a large number of ancient castles, some of which have been listed as monuments, attracting tourists to the sightseeing area. However, there are still many belonging to private property, and many of them are uninhabited, let it vacant, so that the age of dilapidation, has become abandoned.

Because, the cost of fixing up and maintaining an old castle can be quite substantial. And the nobility that flourished then is likely to be long gone now.

Gouda originally wanted to ask where he was, so that he could have an idea of the whole environment beforehand, and then wait for an opportunity to get out, so that he would not be at a loss for what to do. However, it seems that this young girl and her mother may be the same as him, they were also taken after being unconscious.

Seeing him in deep thought, Joanie suddenly asked, “Mr. Gao, you don’t seem to be curious at all about how my father married an alien?”

Gouda smiled and said: “It must be a love story full of mystery and very romantic. But this is your father’s stable private, I seem to have no right to inquire about it!”

Joanie said dejectedly, “It’s unlikely we’ll get out of here alive anyway. If you’re interested, I’ll tell you what you might call a ‘mystical and romantic’ story.”

Gouda secretly happy, adjust the  sitting position, quietly listening to her tell this incredible, earthlings and aliens combined “story”.

RuiTu originally belonged to Austria, the thirteenth century began to break away from Austria and declared independence, in 1815 won the British, France, Germany, Italy and other countries recognized as a permanently neutral country, from then on to become a paradise in the chaos of the world.

Because of its mountainous terrain, 88 percent of the land is unproductive and unproductive. However, Switzerland is world-renowned for its firearms and new weapons, watch industry, banking and tourism.

Hibbard’s ancestors were of Italian-Chinese origin and immigrated to Switzerland at the beginning of the twentieth century. (The Swiss government has an open-door policy, allowing all nationalities to enter the country, regardless of their nationality.) After completing his university education in Germany and obtaining a doctorate in science and technology, he returned to Switzerland to work as a deputy chief engineer for a well-known photographic equipment manufacturer in the capital city of Bern.

It was quite an enviable position for a young man who had just reached the age of twenty-five, and could be called a teenager’s dream. Especially Hibbard is studying science and technology, learning to use, can be a show of strengths. The company is also very important to him, less than two years light, has been promoted to engineer.

Not only is he very passionate about his work, but he has also developed a passion for photography, almost to the point of obsession.

Once, the famous Italian porn star Sophia Loren, who came with a location team to shoot a new movie, was invited to visit the company where Hibbard worked.

On that day, the whole company was a sensation, and everyone was eager to see the face of the international red star. The reception was unprecedented, very lively. In the fan’s enthusiastic request, the pornographic star came to a section of song and dance improvisation. Hibberd happened to be standing nearby, was pulled into the scene as a dance partner.

The entire conduct of the reception was filmed by a special person with a single camera, which naturally included that wonderful performance by Hibbard and Sophia Loren.

Especially at the end of the dance, the Italian porn star with a passionate kiss to express gratitude, more so that Hibberd was flattered, decided to leave a “copy” of the collection, as a permanent souvenir.

Unfortunately, the staff in the developing room was careless and caused a small fire, which burned all the negatives.

This made Hibbard very chagrined and exasperated, but the negatives had all been burned, unlike making a movie, where you can rebuild the set, gather all the actors, and re-shoot the scene again.

Hibbard cherished every shot of the reception, especially that wonderful performance he had with Sophia Loren and the passionate kiss of that Italian porn star. Unfortunately, it’s all in the past, leaving him with only a memory.

Afterwards, Hibberd often came alone to the venue of the day’s reception, staring at the empty hall, his mind constantly floating to the grand and lively scene. The reason for his psychological regret was that the negative was burned and could not be re-shot.

In an instant, he had a strange thought: if a special camera or video recorder could be invented, just like the incredible “time tunnel”, to re-film the images that had happened in this hall with the technology of “reminiscence”? In fact, this is impossible, at least up to the present time, with the existing human intelligence and technology, it has not yet been developed to such a purely fantastical achievement.

In the days that followed, he was continually preoccupied with this question.

In theory, the principle of photography is to use a lens equipped with a biconvex lens to take in the image, so that the negative is sensitized. The film is then treated with chemicals, developed, exposed to the sun, and printed on photographic paper to become a photograph. In other words, the image is a thing of the past and cannot be taken in again.

Hibbard was determined to break through this barrier of time and space, and to “recover” the disappeared images. Because he thought that the common point of taking pictures, photography or video is to capture the image in front of the camera, and even though the image has disappeared and become the past, the photos, films or video tapes can still make the image at that time to reappear.

And he believed that the images that had already appeared, although due to the transfer of time and space and no longer seen. However, it is undeniable that such images must have existed at that time and space. If he could break through the old concept of time and space, and his concept of “remembrance” could be established, that is to say, to invent a “remembrance camera” by means of super-advanced technology, then all the images of the past would be emphasized in front of people’s eyes.

In this way, not only the lively scene of that day’s cocktail party can be “out of thin air” re-photographed. Many of the major crimes with no witnesses or clues left behind can also be solved, and even unveil the hidden secrets of history.

Did not all of Edison’s inventions, as well as the airplane, the nuclear bomb, and the landing of man on the moon, begin as near fantasies, i.e., after continuous research and development, the ideals eventually became facts?

Hibbard full of confidence in themselves, determined to complete this heart . So based on their own learning, and then a large number of purchase of relevant reference books, but also the use of ready-made equipment in the factory, invested all the spirit and time.

Because of his dedication to research, he neglected his duties and was eventually criticized by the company. In a fit of pique, Hibberd quit his job as an engineer and returned to Basel, where he rented a studio in the countryside and concentrated on his “Memory Camera”.

He has been fascinated to the extent of sleep and food, every day from morning to night, in addition to experiments, research, is to read reference books. He ignored all of his family’s concern and discouragement.

After two years of this, Hibberd was convinced that his theory would hold, but unfortunately the technology never broke through.

He rented a detached bungalow, close to the edge of the mountain, far from the town, and half a mile from the nearest neighbor. Except for a trip to the town eight or ten days a week to buy the necessary food, he was virtually housebound. However, everyone in the town knew him, or at least knew that the orientalist was a doctor.

It was a late night in the heat of the summer, and feeling a little lightheaded after being cooped up in his studio all day, he stepped outside to get some air.

Hibbard was looking up at the starry sky outside his door when he heard a loud noise of people coming from far away, seemingly running towards him. As soon as he looked down, he saw a figure dashing towards him, furiously asking for help in a southern language: “Please let me hide, there are people chasing me…”

Hibberd fixed his eyes on a woman dressed in traditional European style clothing, wearing a pair of long black gloves on a hot day, while her entire face was covered with a black veil mask.

With little thought, he took the woman inside and quickly closed the door behind her.

Pulling back a corner of the curtain and looking out of the window, I saw a dozen local residents, two in front with flashlights, and the ones behind with shotguns or wooden clubs, soundly and hurriedly chasing after them.

Suddenly, I heard the woman behind me say nervously, “Sir, hide me quickly, they may come in and search…”

Hibbard doesn’t know why the woman is being chased, but is determined to cover her.

This wooden bungalow was originally a small country house, he kept the bedroom and living room, the living room and the adjoining dining room were all used as a studio, and the other small bedroom also became a storage room, full of various equipment and books.

With nowhere to hide, he had to take the woman into his bedroom and hide her in the closet.

Just then, the doorbell rang sharply, and someone shouted, “Dr. Hibbard, please open the door!”

Hibbard took off his coveralls, pretended to have just awakened from his sleep, got up and went to open the door, and asked with a blank look on his face, “May I help you?”

The strong man with the flashlight was busy explaining, “I’m sorry to bother you, because we were chasing a ‘monster’, and we clearly saw it fleeing this way, but in a flash it was gone.”

Hibberd was struck by how a woman could be considered a “monster”.

Another middle-aged man jumped in and said, “He probably hid in your house…”

Hibbard laughed and said as if nothing had happened, “No way, I closed all the doors and windows before I went to bed and checked them.”

The middle-aged man and the strong man exchanged glances, it is inconvenient to forcefully demand to enter the house to search, so he could only point to the mountain side and said: “It may have escaped into the mountain, let’s quickly chase after it!” Then said to Hibberd to bother, and then led the crowd to rush to the mountain.

Hibberd watched them go before he closed the door and turned back into the bedroom, placing a couple clicks on the closet, “They’re gone, you can come out now!”

The woman then pushed open the cupboard door and came out, kneeling gratefully in front of him: “Thank you for saving my life, and I will definitely return the favor in the future.”

Hibberd hastily helped her to her feet and asked with a smile, “Why do they call you a ‘monster’?”

The woman seemed to have trouble answering, “This, this…”

Hibberd laughed, “So can you take off your mask so I can see how ‘weird’ you are?”

When the woman heard this, she was so frightened that she stepped back, saying, “No, no, no, no, no, I can’t…”

Hibbard was surprised, “Why?”

The woman stammered, “Because… because… because if you see my true face, you will also think that I am a ‘monster’.”

Hibbard said, “Oh?” He asked, “Can you tell me why they’re after you?”

The woman hesitated for a moment before saying helplessly, “My ‘transportation’ malfunctioned and I tried to steal a part from a minivan parked outside the house, but I didn’t realize that there was someone sleeping in the car and caught me in the act.”

The woman continued: “The two young men were very lustful, found me a woman, and joined forces to rape me, I dropped my mask in the struggle, and as soon as they saw my face, they fled in fear with loud calls, and then gathered a group of people to chase after me.”

Hibberd couldn’t help but wonder, “Is your face really that scary?”

The woman did not answer, but digressed and said, “Sir, I just saw a jeep parked outside the house, can you lend me your car? I’ll repay you.”

Hibberd shook his head and said, “No, but I can give you a ride and fix your faulty ‘transportation’ for you. By the way, your so-called ‘transportation’ is also a car, right?”

The woman said, “All I need is a battery and a few feet of high voltage wire… Sir, please believe me, I will return the car to you.”

In order to satisfy his curiosity, Hibberd deliberately made things difficult: “I have a spare battery, which is still freshly charged and unused, the high voltage wires are not a problem, and the car can also be lent to you. But you must remove the mask, let me see your face.”

The woman wondered, “What…”

Hibberd suddenly stepped forward and unexpectedly reached out to remove the mask from her face. But she reacted quickly, dodged to the side, and immediately ran out the door.

She seemed to prefer  not to lend her car than to let Hibberd see her true colors, and rushed out of the bedroom, through the sitting room, and straight to the front door.

Opening the door she fled out, and by the time Hibbard had chased her out the door the woman had run hastily to the side of the hill.

Hibbard couldn’t help but think that the woman’s “transportation” had malfunctioned and lacked batteries and high-voltage wires to repair it. And the group was heading into the mountains to search for her, could she get out of there?

So, on the spur of the moment, he carried out a spare battery from the storeroom, took a roll of high-voltage wire, brought a flashlight brief, and drove his jeep in pursuit of the mountains.

（２）

Hibberd drove the jeep without finding any sign of the woman. Just as he approached the edge of the mountain, he saw the group of people who were chasing the “monster” standing at the mountain pass, arguing. Since Basel is near the border of Germany and France, if they rashly chase into the Black Forest Mountain, that is, they have entered the territory of the two countries. They were probably too scared to risk being caught crossing the border, right?

But the strong light of the jeep’s headlights was already seen by them from a distance, and they immediately ran towards him. As soon as he braked and stopped, he saw the middle-aged man running closer and asked, “Dr. Hibberd, why are you here too?”

Hibberd said as if nothing had happened, “I’m just tagging along to take a look, by the way, I forgot to ask just now, what kind of ‘monster’ are you guys chasing?”

The middle-aged man said, “It’s probably aliens!”

“Aliens!?” Hibberd was uncharacteristically stunned.

The middle-aged man said solemnly: “In recent years, people in the town have often spotted unidentified flying objects in the sky at night, but because of their speed, it was difficult to see what they were. Some suspected that it might be a flying saucer, while others speculated that it might be the latest supersonic aircraft developed by West Germany or France in secret… Until tonight… Suddenly, a young boy rushed up to the scene and argued, “That ‘monster’! It must be aliens, I saw it with my own eyes, it’s absolutely right!”

Hibbard never dealt with the town except to shop there, so naturally he didn’t recognize the people in front of him, let alone know that long before he moved here, the town was in a cloud of alien legends and uncertainty.

The young man who was fighting to speak must have been one of the two men who, according to the woman, had attempted to rape her. Hibbard took the opportunity to ask: “How can you be sure it was an alien?”

The young man said, “She only has one big eye, growing vertically in the center of her eyebrow, what is she if not an alien?”

Hibberd secretly stunned, thought: no wonder the woman does not  show people with true colors. But he did not move, asked: “just different eyes?”

The young man shrugged his shoulders and said: “At that time, we were so shocked that we didn’t even see it clearly, so we fled in fear and called for help.”

Hibbard pondered for a while and said: “There are many deformed people in the world, such as the ‘Elephant Man’ in the movie, the ‘Man in the Armor’ found in Malaysia, etc. They are not only creatures of the earth, but also our human beings. For example, the ‘Elephant Man’ in the movie, the ‘Pangolin Man’ found in Malaysia, the ‘Hairy Child’ in mainland China, and so on, they are not only creatures of the earth, but also human beings, just in an abnormal shape. What you see is not necessarily aliens!”

The middle-aged man, who was more sophisticated, nodded and said, “That’s good, Dr. Hibberd is a learned man, perhaps what they two brats saw was nothing more than a deformed man.”

But the strong man said, “In our area, we’ve never heard of that family having a deformed woman…”

The middle-aged man retorted: “Steve, your brain is really dead, where there is a deformed person who will publicize himself, or let him go out to wander around? Besides, it could be from out of town!”

The young man said, “This doesn’t make sense. How could a freak from out of town come here and steal car parts?”

The middle-aged man glared at him and said, “It’s even more unlikely that aliens would want to steal parts from a car!”

The strong man’s confidence was also shaken: “Kid, maybe it’s just your eyes that are seeing things?”

The young man did not reply, the middle-aged man has said: “You who want to continue to look for aliens go to look for, I’m not interested in following you blindly, tomorrow morning still have to work, have to quickly go back to sleep.”

The others were originally interested in catching the “aliens” and followed in the middle of the night to join in the fun. Once they heard that it was just a deformed person, they all lost interest and agreed with the middle-aged man’s proposal.

Hibbard drove back on his own to avoid the suspicion of the group as well. Only when they faded away did he turn the car around and drive back to the side of the mountain.

Upon entering the mountains, there was only one gnarly narrow road leading into the mountains. Fortunately, the jeep was superior, a late World War II American-made military vehicle designed for combat, lightweight and powerful enough that it could pass through the mountains almost as long as there was a road.

Hibbard didn’t turn on his headlights, only used his flashlight to shine ahead of him as he slowly made his way into the mountains.

About a kilometer or so into it, the trail has gotten steeper and the road more nasty.

Hibberd all the way to flashlight in all directions, and did not find anything, and drove out nearly two kilometers, the front of the mountain is even steeper, a glance, all over the mountain are large and small rocks, the jeep can not go forward again. Hibberd had to jump out of the car, holding a flashlight hiking. At this time he only one idea, is the real contact, and see with their own eyes the true face of the alien mountain.

The hill became steeper and steeper, and he hoped to find a suitable position where he could look down and see everything below the slope. Because he was convinced that the woman could not have gone far, and must be hiding in the neighborhood. If he was lucky, he might even find her “transportation”.

Unfortunately, the night was hazy, visibility was extremely low, and the field of vision was a blur, so it was impossible to see anything more than fifty yards away.

Hibbard was feeling in a dilemma when he heard the engine start, causing him to startle and rush down the hill.

But he was too late to stop it, only to see that the woman accused of being an alien was turning around and speeding away in his jeep.

Early the next morning, Hibberd walked to a town half a mile away, rented a minivan, filled it with gasoline, went back with a flashlight, binoculars, a camera, canned food and water bottles, a hunting knife, and a self-defense pistol, and drove off into the mountains. He was determined to find the woman who stole the car, whether she was an alien or not, even if it took him a few days to go deeper into the mountains.

Black Forest Mountain is not high, from east to west, the total length of only a hundred kilometers, but it and the French territory of the Fogey Mountains adjacent, and parallel, forming a natural barrier between the two countries on the border, as is the demarcation line, all over the mountains are primitive forests, Black Forest Mountain hence the name.

Hibbard drove around the mountains for over two hours looking for her, and finally found her jeep abandoned within a dense forest, with a number of branches used to camouflage it so that it was not easy to spot from a distance.

Next to the forest is a steep, rocky slope, below which is a deep, narrow valley that runs north of Fribourg in Germany to the vicinity of Baden-Baden.

The car’s spare battery and the roll of high-voltage wires, has gone missing. Obviously the woman drove here, no way through, had to abandon the car on foot, took what she needed.

Hibberd based on the terrain, the woman into the dense forest is unlikely, to take the narrow valley of the majority of the ingredients. Unless it is her “transportation”, hidden in this dense forest.

A quick look into the forest negated this possibility, as not even a jeep could enter the forest. Hibberd made a snap decision, and once out of the forest, with all his equipment, he carefully descended the steep slope and tracked down the narrow path.

Although he estimated that last night’s incident until now has been six or seven hours, if the woman’s “transportation” only need batteries and a few feet of high-voltage wires can be repaired, this moment must have long gone away. But he still did not give up, determined to continue to track down.

Narrow valley terrain, rocks everywhere, walking extremely difficult, a little careless, that is, the risk of falling.

Hibbard carried his heavy pack as if he were deep in savage territory, moving forward almost step by careful step. It took a full hour of walking to get out less than two miles.

At this time is already eleven o’clock in the morning, the hot sun in the sky, cloudless. Hibberd has been sweating, gasping for breath, is trying to find a shady place to rest, suddenly saw something, hastily raised the telescope hanging on the chest, adjust the distance to take a closer look, discarded in the pile of rocks, is actually the battery and a roll of high-voltage wires. However, but did not see the woman’s silhouette.

Hibberd felt a surge of energy and immediately rushed there, finding a puddle of pink liquid on the ground that had long since congealed and dried out, so he couldn’t tell what it was. However, the pink liquid dripped all the way to the side of the mountain, as if the woman had been injured, the wound all the way to the blood.

If it was blood, it would have been dark brown after it had coagulated and dried in the hot sun, how could it be pink? It occurred to Hibberd that the woman was an alien! Apparently the battery was too heavy, and the terrain in the valley was so rough that she fell and was injured, and had to abandon the battery and the roll of high-voltage wires and hide nearby to rest.

As it was, she couldn’t have gotten far.

Hibbard followed the pink blood and searched his way down, approaching a standing boulder on the side of the hill, where he saw the woman lying in the shade.

She did not know is unconscious, or asleep, Hibberd has approached her side, but did not realize. Hibberd would like to take the opportunity to open her black veil mask, a glimpse of her true face, but he did not do so, lightly coughed twice: “Dawn!”

The woman wanted to be fatigue, leg and suffered a minor injury, so that drowsiness fell asleep. At the sound of her voice, she was startled and wanted to rise up, but unfortunately, she was unable to do so and exclaimed, “Ah! You…”

Hibberd laughed and asked, “You probably need help, don’t you?”

Knowing that she couldn’t escape, the woman gave up her plan and said dejectedly, “I’m sorry, but last night I had no choice but to steal your jeep and run for my life…”

“Run for your life?” Hibbard said in surprise, “You think those people will hurt you?”

The woman nodded: “If they capture me alive and treat me as a ‘monster’ living would be worse than dying.”

Hibberd couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Are you really an alien?”

The woman replied, “Anyway, I’ve been caught by you, so just uncover my mask and you’ll get the answer you need to know.”

Hibberd laughed: “Unless you’re self  sufficient, I don’t want to impose. Tell me, what kind of help do you need from me?”

The woman was very surprised, surprised: “You really  mean to help me?”

Hibberd nodded: “Speak!”

The woman was overjoyed: “Thank you, thank you, I’ll definitely repay you…”

Hibberd sprinkled a smile: “That’s not important, I’m just very  interested in helping you, I still don’t know if I can help?”

The woman said, “My ‘means of transportation’ is miles away, and I have to use the battery and the high-voltage wires to help it start. But my leg is injured and I can’t even stand…”

Hibberd thought for a moment, and with a sweep of his gaze toward the mountain side, he smiled, “I’ve thought of a way to solve this problem, and I’ll solve it.”

After saying this, he directed to the side of the mountain, selected two small trees, took off his backpack, drew out the hunting knife on his waist, and took half a day’s effort to cut the trees from the roots, trimmed off the side branches, and made two long sticks about one ten-foot and five-foot long.

Apparently he hadn’t yet forgotten the Boy Scout lessons from his childhood school, and made a stretcher from scratch by taking off his jeans and top, putting two long sticks through his long sleeves and pants leg tubes, taking the roll of high-tension wire and using it as a rope, and chipping two short pieces of tree branch so that the two long sticks were braced and held in place.

The woman stayed propped up standing next to the boulder, watching silently.

Hibberd, wearing only his underwear at this point and still sweating from exhaustion, lifted his backpack and walked over, sitting down next to her, handing over his water bottle and asking, “Would you like to have a drink of water?”

The woman shook her head and asked curiously, “What was that you did?”

Hibberd opened the lid of the jug and drank several large mouthfuls of water before covering the lid with a smile, “This is a temporary means of transportation I made to carry you later, but I’m really tired right now, and I need to rest for a while before I can have the strength to drag it.”

The woman was surprised and said, “There are no wheels, how can you drag it?”

Hibberd laughed without answering and took canned food out of his backpack again, handing it to her, “It’s already time for lunch, have some!”

“Thanks, I have my own.” With that, the woman pulled out a small metal tubular vial from her coat pocket, opened the cap, poured a pink pill into her palm, put it in her mouth and didn’t swallow it, just letting it slowly dissolve.

Hibberd see in the eyes, know that this must be the aliens of the “space food”, then open the can in the hand, with not  steel long spoon, pull out the can of pork to eat.

“Canned food is the easiest and most convenient, but compared to space food, it’s still too much of a hassle.

Seeing that he ate with relish, the woman seemed to be very interested, and after looking at him for a moment, she suddenly asked, “Sir, may I know your name?”

As he ate, Hibbard said, “My name is Hibbard, an Oriental name, and you?”

“My name is Nishaya,” she said, “Mr. Hibbard, I was in your house last night, and I saw a lot of tools and equipment, and you seem to be…”

Hibbard smiled and said, “I studied science and engineering, and I used to work as an engineer for a photographic equipment manufacturing company, but now I have left to concentrate on a whimsical research.”

Nisaya asked curiously, “About what?”

In the past, Hibberd had told his colleagues at work, as well as family and friends at home, about his idea, but instead of encouragement, he received almost mockery and ridicule, as he had just said, being called “whimsical”, and he was so angry that he never talked about the content of his research again.

But now he was dealing with Nisaya, from a distant planet that was highly technological far beyond Earth, causing him to have a sudden inexplicable urge to tell everything without reservation.

Nisaya listened quietly, as if she had seen food being eaten. It made Hibbard, as if he had met a confidant, speak more and more vigorously.

He started with the grand reception attended by Sophia Loren, and then moved on from the burning of the negative, the motivation for the idea, and the two years of research and experimentation, all the way to the current obstacles encountered.

Finally, he said with confidence: “Although there are some technical barriers that can not be broken through, but we have a saying in the East: where there is a will, there is a way. I believe that one day we will succeed.”

The day is right in the middle.

Nisaya lay on the stretcher with her head in front of her feet, her hands cupped around the battery and backpack.

One end of the stretcher landed on the ground, the other was lifted, and Shinshibod dragged it step by step like a “rickshaw”.

“The rickshaw, with its wheels, used to play an important role in transportation in the Orient decades ago. It can still be found in some parts of Southeast Asia, but it was only a way to satisfy the curiosity of tourists and for people to sit on the rickshaw to take photos, but it has long since been replaced by other modes of transportation, negating the value of its existence.

Hibberd’s improvised stretcher had no wheels, and the terrain in the narrow valley was rough and difficult to navigate, and with the blazing sun, he naturally struggled even more. It took more than an hour to drag it less than two miles, and it was still half way to its destination.

Nisaya, who was lying on the stretcher, was overjoyed and turned her head sideways, saying, “Mr. Hibbard, stop and rest!”

Hibbard had expended too much strength to be brave, so he dragged the stretcher to a halt in the shade and drank half a canteen’s worth of water in one gulp before sitting down to catch his breath.

As soon as the stretcher was leveled, Nisaya could not lie down and had to sit up.

Hibbard suddenly asked, “How is your leg?”

Nisaia said: “The blood has been stopped, only the joints are sprained, unable to walk, causing you to become so tired for me, really sorry.”

Hibberd smiled, “That’s okay, do you want me to check it for you?”

Nisaya said sharply, “No. No! No! No…”

Hibbard couldn’t help but laugh and ask; “What, are you even afraid of me looking at your legs?”

Nisaya was silent.

It was then that Hibbard noticed that Nisaya, although dressed in a traditional European style costume, had a wide ruffled bonnet on her head and a black veil mask. In her hands were long gloves that went up to the inside of the cuffs. And under the wide long skirt, two feet also wear stockings, the whole body is equal to the dense package, not an inch of skin exposed.

He couldn’t help but wonder: could it be that this alien woman is not only scary looking, like a “monster”, but even her whole body is covered with scaly armor or long hair? Since Nisaia does not  let him see, he is not forced to be difficult.

Nisaya was silent for a moment, as if deliberately trying to change the subject, and suddenly asked, “Mr. Hibbard, do you live alone?”

Hibberd nodded slightly and laughed self-deprecatingly : “I’m the one who’s a ‘monster’, no human  intends to live with me. As a matter of fact, my research work is not  disturbed by humans either.”

“What about your wife?” Nisaya asked.

Hibberd shrugged: “I’m not married.”

Nisaya let out an “Oh” and didn’t pursue the matter any further.

Hibberd but then said: “two years ago, the company’s chief engineer is also Oriental, interesting to me and his daughter set up, but unfortunately, I was focused on researching the ‘Memory Camera’, the cold left that lady. When I resigned from the body of work, we only met twice, and since then there is no further contact.”

Nisha Yavin was deep in thought.

Hibbard stood up and said, “Enough rest, let’s go!” So he dragged the stretcher onward.

There was no further rest on this stretch, and Hibbard came out two or three miles in one breath.

Suddenly, I heard Nisaya say, “Mr. Hibbard, the front is going up the hill to the right.”

Hibbard heard a cry and looked out. Only to his right was a steep slope formed by rocks, which was arduous to climb even empty-handed, let alone dragging a man-carrying stretcher.

He surveyed the slope; he had to smile bitterly and said, “I’m afraid I have to carry you on my back to get up there.”

Nisaya asked anxiously, “What about the battery?”

Hibbard said, “I’ll have to carry you up first, and I’ll come down to get it.”

Nishaya said, “Mr. Hibbard, I’m sorry for making you work so hard for me…”

Hibberd forced himself to smile and said, “The universe is one, and although we exist on different planets, it is my honor to serve you since you have come to Earth.”

Nisaya almost said, “I’ll repay you.” But before she could say anything, Hebdo had already put down the stretcher and came over to take away the battery and backpack she was holding, lifted her up, and then squatted down himself. When Hibberd carried her, he suddenly felt that this alien woman’s body seemed to be no different from that of an earthling.

His hands were holding both of Nisaya’s thighs, and even though they were separated by a long skirt and stockings, he still felt its plumpness and suppleness. Especially the two fleshy peaks that topped his naked back could be felt as plump and firm, and extremely elastic. Hibberd jolted back to the feeling of embracing and dancing with Sophia Loren at that grand reception two years ago.

The difference is that one part of the contact is the front chest and the other is just the back.

But he was sure that this alien woman’s twin bees would never let that internationally known meatball porn star, Madonna, monopolize her beauty!

Shocked to realize that he was thinking about it a bit, Hibberd hastily collected his thoughts and immediately headed for the right side of the hill.

Nisaya wrapped one hand tightly around his body, and with one hand pointed to the dense forest on the slope, saying: “My ‘transportation’!

It’s hidden within the forest.”

Hibberd looked up and saw that the distance from the bottom of the valley to that dense forest was at least a hundred and fifty yards. When it came down to it, there was nothing he could do, so he had to tough it out, clench his teeth, and climb upward step by step with Nisaya on his back.

The hill was so steep that Hibbard had to stoop down and spare a hand. Unexpectedly, the rock has been scorched by the hot sun, like a hot iron plate, he touched his hand on it and was so hot that he exclaimed, “Ah! It’s so hot!”

Nisaya asked, “Did you burn yourself?”

Hibberd smiled bitterly, “It’s okay.”

Nisaya no longer cared much and immediately took off her own long gloves and handed them to him, saying, “Use my gloves!”

Hibbard turned his head and saw that her gloved hands and arms were as white as if they were made of plaster, with the complexion of an “albino” (a skin lesion in which the whole body is abnormally white), but very delicate.

If according to the young man said, they witnessed last night’s “monster”, is only a large eye, vertical growth in the center of the eyebrow. And a face as white as plaster, then no wonder they were scared out of their wits.

Hibberd had no more time to think about it, and flexed his right hand back so that Nisaya could put the glove on for him and then switch over to the other hand. In this way, Hibbard had to climb the hill on his hands and knees, and Nisaya would have to clamp her legs around his waist and both hands tightly around his neck.

Hibberd gritted his teeth and rose to his full strength, climbing carefully step by step toward his goal. It was only a distance of about one hundred and fifty yards, but it took a full hour and a half.

By the time he reached the dense forest on the slope, Hibberd was exhausted and out of breath. He had just put Nisaya down, and he himself was lying on his back, panting heavily.

Nishaya was busy wiping the sweat from his body with her big skirt, murmuring, “Mr. Shibbard, I will definitely repay you, definitely…”

Hibberd was so tired that he almost wanted to fall asleep, even forgetting his curiosity to see her “mode of transportation”.

Nisaya thoughtfully said, “You can rest a little more.”

Hibbard laughed, but ran toward the bottom of the hill.

This time it only took him half an hour to bring up the battery, the high-voltage wire unhooked from the stretcher, and the backpack.

Still sitting on the ground, Nisaya waited for him to put down the battery and other things before turning to point at the dense forest and saying, “My ‘transportation’ is right there, covered with branches.”

Hibbard could no longer contain his inner curiosity, and without even resting, rushed over to remove the covering branches one by one.

Finally, he saw the alien “vehicle” in front of his eyes, which was shaped like the latest super train, like a helicopter without a propeller and a long tail, and more like the “Space Flyer”, a children’s toy from Disneyland. The most peculiar thing is that its wheels are hidden under the belly, partially like having two jets.

In short, it is by no means any existing mode of transportation on the planet!

Hibbard at first sight of this silver “transportation”, the spirit of a sudden for a big boost, not the slightest sense of the two times to climb the slope of the hardship, and hastily approached to take a closer look, in fact, on both sides and the front of the glass windows are not there, I do not know how to drive the driver to see the things in front of them? Even better, there is no handle or button to open the door, so how can people outside enter?

Hibberd was secretly wondering, when he suddenly heard Nisaya say, “Mr. Hibberd, please carry me over.”

It was then that he realized he had lost his temper a bit, and busied himself by returning to Nisaya, lifting her up in his arms and carrying her back to the front of the dense forest.

Although Nisaya was being held by Hibberd, she was not bashful and wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling broadly, “You must be wondering how my ‘transportation’ has no doors or windows, right? You’ll find out later.”

After that, she said something to the “transportation” in front of her, “babbling”, only to see the side of the hatch immediately moved to the side.

Hibbard looked at it and asked curiously, “It recognizes your voice?”

Nisaya slightly put her head a little, smiled: “This is the ‘sound lock’, input my sound wave into the computer, only the correct number reported by my own voice can make the hatch open automatically. No one else can fake it.”

Hibberd let out an “oh” and looked into the cabin, noticing that the cockpit was a single seat, but there was more room behind the seat for a number of different ores, and there was still room for one person.

And in front of the pilot’s seat was a steering wheel like that of an airplane, with an elaborate array of gauges mounted above it. There was also a radar display about twenty inches in diameter.

Hibberd finally realized, no wonder this “transportation” does not have a front window only to turn on the radar, from the display can see everything before and after the left and right.

Nisaya didn’t rush, and waited for him to scrutinize the fixtures and fittings in the cabin before calmly saying, “Please help me get into the driver’s seat, and bring the battery and high voltage wires, so I can start the repairs.”

Hibbard did as he was told and carried her into the hatch, put her in the pilot’s seat, and removed the backpack from his back. Fetched the battery and high voltage wires and returned.

Nisaia could see that he was full of curiosity about this “transportation”, so she said: “Its appearance may be a bit strange, but in fact, its flight principle is similar to that of the Earthlings’ space shuttle. The fuel it uses is ‘uranium’, utilizing the large amount of atomic energy generated by the ‘neutron’ chain reaction for power. Earthlings have also used ‘uranium’ for electricity and submarines, as well as other industrial medical uses. It’s just that the scientists on our planet, discovered the energy radiated by ‘uranium’. The time is more than two thousand years earlier than the earthlings. After continuous research and development; it was able to be refined into a more potent fuel, bringing its energy to its limits.”

Hibbard pointed to the ores and asked, “Is that uranium ore?”

Nisaya nodded: “Our planet is far away from the solar system, only one-twentieth of the size of the Earth, we don’t see sunlight all year round, and there is no day and night, that’s why my skin color is so white. For the past billions of years, the creatures on our planet; all of them have survived in the gloom. The only source of heat and light was from volcanoes that kept erupting everywhere. Luckily, scientists have since converted it into energy, improving the living patterns and environment across the planet.

It wasn’t until more than two thousand years ago; when scientists discovered the use of ‘uranium’ that science advanced by leaps and bounds.

However, the small size of our planet and the consumption of energy is high. Scientists estimate that within the next fifty years, uranium will be mined out. When that happens, the entire planet will be plunged into a world of darkness again, back to the times of billions of years ago. In order to save the entire planet, we sent a large group of pilots and scientists to survey other planets; searching for uranium ore or alternative sources of energy. Our group of ninety-nine, traveling in the ‘air craft’ for over a year in space, landed on a number of planets, but unfortunately none of them had any living creatures; nor did we find any mineral sources. Finally, I found the Earth in the solar system, and a few years ago successfully landed in the Alps and created a base. Hibberd was surprised: “You have a base on Earth?”

Nisaya nodded her head slightly again: “The size of the ore is too space-consuming and inconvenient to transport, so we had to refine it on Earth, so we created a base in the Alps. In the past few years, we have been refining the ore day and night, and at the same time, we have sent people everywhere to continue searching for new sources of ore. Three days ago, I flew alone to Africa near the Sahara Desert and landed in a deep mountain, using the ‘Laser Surveyor’, I found an extremely radioactive ore vein, and took some ore specimens, preparing to bring them back to the base for testing. Unexpectedly, on the way back to the base, I encountered a gust of wind and sand, which forced my ‘vehicle’ to land in the desert. When the wind and sand stopped, the ‘vehicle’ was already stuck in the sand. Although I used my maximum horsepower to get it out of the sand and take off, the power system was overloaded and the radar display was out of action, so I could only use the compass to determine the direction, which was tantamount to flying blindly, so for the sake of safety I had to force land here again to put the ‘flight vehicle’ into the desert. To be safe, I had to crash-land here again, cover up my ‘flying gear’, and venture out into the mountains to look for batteries and high-tension wires. Finally, I found a minivan parked in front of a farmhouse, and who knows…”

Hibbard said, “I can’t believe I met two earthly perverts!”

Nisaia sighed: “Alas! If it is not met you this kind earthlings, last night let me hide in your house. If caught by them, even if I do not take me as a ‘monster’ to death, probably will get to the exhibition to sell tickets.”

Hibberd was surprised, “How come you speak fluent German?”

Nisaia said: “I’m not going to hide it from you, two or three years ago, there was a mountaineering team composed of West German youths, who inadvertently broke into the base, and we caught all of them, and forcibly retained them to work in the base, and have yet to let them go. We couldn’t speak the language, so we utilized the ‘Language Conversion Machine’ to learn their language.”

Hibberd asked curiously, “The language transfer machine, does it take the German they speak and turn it into your planet’s language?”

Nisaya nodded her head and said, “Yes, any language can be translated into the language of our planet through the ‘Language Transfer Machine’. Similarly, the words we speak, through the ‘language transfer machine’, can also be translated into the other side can understand the language.”

Hibberd pondered for a moment and said, “But basically, you have to input all kinds of languages into the computer’s memory before it can be converted and translated, and it seems unlikely that your ‘language converter’ would have input other languages first, right?”

Nisaya laughed: “Mr. Hibberd, don’t forget that the technology on our planet far exceeds that of Earth. Language, in fact, is just a matter of expressing different meanings with different sounds. There are many different races on Earth, and they all speak different languages. But people of the same race can understand what is being said just by listening to the sounds the other side makes. And our ‘Language Transfer Machine’, that is, it translates by sound. The ‘sound lock’ used just now

It’s also based on this principle.”

Hibberd nodded his head slightly in realization, “I see. So, you’re a scientist too?”

Nisaya laughed: “I’m not, but being sent out as an interstellar pilot, basic knowledge of general science is a must. Before we left, we all received two years of specialized training!”

In fact, Armstrong, who landed on the moon, was originally an excellent pilot, but still had to undergo rigorous training for the moon landing, as well as a variety of necessary experiments, before finally boarding the capsule and accomplishing that unprecedented feat.

Hibberd was not in a position to pursue the matter further, smiled, and said, “Miss Nisaya, let’s start fixing your ‘transportation’.”

Nisaya didn’t seem to be in a hurry and said calmly, “With the battery, we just need to connect the high voltage wire to the power system to restore the radar display. Mr. Hibbard, you…”

Hibbard asked, “What else is wrong?”

Nisaya reluctantly said, “Do… do you… do you  want to visit the base with me? I’ll bring you back.”

Hibberd was stunned and surprised, “I can go?”

Nisaya said, “As long as you  mean to go, I promise they won’t force you to stay there.”

Hibberd was overjoyed and said without hesitation, “I’ll go!”

（３）

Joanie’s story had just been told when there was a soft thud and the small window hole in the steel door opened. The man outside the door wearing wind glasses looked in for a moment and asked something. Joanie answered twice, and the man outside the door hesitated before closing the window and leaving.

Gouda asked, “Did you come to press the issue?”

Joanie nodded and said, “I’m asking for another ten minutes so I can finish the whole story as quickly as possible.”

Gouda nodded slightly, and Joanie went on with her story.

Nisia repaired the radar display and flew Hibberd back to the Alps in her “vehicle” to a secret base created by hand in a large cave deep in the mountains. The outside of the cave is camouflaged by giant trees, so that even if an airplane flies over it, it will not be easy to detect, it is very secret, and it is heavily guarded.

As soon as Nisaya’s “transportation” approached the cave entrance, it sent out a coded signal, only to see the rows of giant trees outside the cave entrance move to the sides, revealing an opening for it to fly straight in.

Inside the cave rests a huge round object that looks like a so-called “ufo”, commonly known as a “flying saucer”.

Hibberd followed Nisaya out of the cabin, only to see several identical “vehicles” parked in the cave, and seven or eight guards on alert, dressed in space-like gear and armed with “taser guns”, immediately swarmed up.

They probably saw that Nisaia brought back an earthling and thought that he was captured by her, so as soon as they came up to her, they took hold of Hebdo, who didn’t know what to do. Although Nisaia explained, they still did not let go of Hibberd, and escorted him to follow Nisaia to the “UFO”. The “UFO” was a three-story building with an area as large as a basketball court, making it a huge object.

At that moment, a hatch lifted upward and slowly lowered an escalator.

Nisaya, who was walking in front, was supported by two guards, and turned to reassure them, “Mr. Hibbard, don’t worry, the host here is my father.”

Hibbard nodded his head in understanding and walked up the escalator with two guards holding his arms, one on the left and one on the right…

Before the story was finished, the sound of a lock being unlocked sounded outside the iron gate.

Gundam had a bright idea and whispered to Joanie, “Tell them that I’ve promised to hand over the Microchip!

up.”

Joanie showed a look of surprise and couldn’t ask in time before the iron door had opened.

Appearing in the doorway was none other than the woman in full silver space suit and silver face helmet, followed by four burly men in white snow combat gear with wind goggles on their faces.

The woman, who did not have a “language changer” with her, seemed to come on strong and growled at Joanie.

Joanie replied timidly and turned to Gao Da, “This woman is in a very high position, above the base hosts, and she has been ordered by our planet’s Grand Chancellor to come here specifically for the microchip incident…”

Gundam interrupted her and asked anxiously, “Have you told her that I have promised to hand over the ‘microchip’?

up?”

Joanie cautiously said, “I haven’t dared to say anything yet, to find out first if you really have brought the ‘microchip’ with you.”

Gouda said with confidence: “You can tell her that I was sent by your father, ‘microchip’ I do not have it on me, must first make sure that you mother and daughter are safe and sound, Dr. Hibberd will hand over the ‘microchip’. “

The woman had probably just arrived on Earth and had not yet learned German, so she could not understand what Gundam was saying without the translation of the “language changer”. But the strong man behind her could understand, and without waiting for Joanie to relay the message, he already whispered Gundam’s meaning to her.

The woman grunted angrily and spoke to Joanie again.

Joanie turned to Gouda again and said, “She said it’s okay, but she wants you to inform my father that if he can’t hand over the ‘microchip’ within three days, he’ll put me and my mother to death!”

Secretly estimating that it would not be possible to find Dr. Hibbard in three days, Gouda asked Joanie to ask the woman for an extension of the time limit. But the reply was that he would only be given seventy-two hours from now. Thus, Gouda was subjected to another electric shock.

This time when Gouda was awake, he was sleeping in a bed in the guest room of the ski club.

He could hardly be sure if everything that had happened was a dream, or if it was indeed true.

I remember that after staying here, he ate dinner and took a hot bath, and then went to bed early. Perhaps it was because of daydreaming and nightdreaming, he fell asleep in a daze and had a “strange dream”. In fact, the day had not yet dawned, and the “next day” had not yet arrived, so how could everything in the future happen?

But it was all so real: the attack by the four strong men who jumped from the helicopter at the summit and were caught in the giant net that was pulled down; the questioning by the woman in the silver space suit, who forced him to hand over the microchip. The electrocution again, and Joanie’s story…

Gouda was busy lifting his wrist in order to make sure that it was a dream that was real; the date on the face of the watch was the twenty-fourth day, the second day of his stay, and the time was six o’clock. Unfortunately, the watch did not indicate day and night; was six o’clock early in the morning, or late in the evening?

He immediately got up and went to pull open the curtains, only to see a snow-covered sky outside, and the sky was so dark that he still couldn’t tell whether it was day or night. This question is not difficult to obtain the answer, he only need to dial the phone to the service desk, summoned the waiter to ask to know.

As soon as the waiter entered, he smiled and asked, “Sir, are you awake?”

“Uh.” Gundam diffidently responded.

The waiter then added: “You fainted in the snow, were found by ski tourists and sent back here, are you okay now?”

Gundam remembered looking at his watch before he was knocked out by the electric shock, it was 3:50 p.m., apparently he had been unconscious for more than two hours, so he smiled as if nothing had happened: “It’s okay, bring me a cup of hot coffee!”

“Yes.” The attendant promised and exited the room.

Gouda has received confirmation that everything that happened was not a dream.

The woman’s deadline was seventy-two hours, and now more than two hours had passed. In less than seventy hours, he was really not sure that he could get in touch with Dr. Hibberd, and he had to persuade the other party to hand over the “microchip”.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with him, both have gotten out of the way, can stay out of it, and why ask for trouble.

But he was naturally nosy, especially when he thought of the mother and daughter who were about to be executed by the aliens if they didn’t have a “microchip” to exchange in less than seventy hours.

The prodigal son, Gundam, despite his cynicism and debauchery, was a man who hated evil and was extremely compassionate, so how could he see death and save him? However, the other party was aliens, which was a strong opponent he had never encountered before. With his own strength, he could never deal with them.

Gouda immediately picked up the phone and asked the switchboard to connect him to the Swissôtel in Zurich, determined to call his “best friends” for support.

The call was answered, but the clerk at the Swissôtel told him that the tourists had left a few hours earlier.

Where did they go? Could they have simply come all together because they waited all day and didn’t hear from him?

Gouda couldn’t wait for the coffee to arrive, so he put on his coat and left the room.

When I came to the hall, I saw about 20 to 30 male and female tourists in twos and threes, probably all skiing enthusiasts, gathering here after dark, drinking hot coffee, enjoying the fire and heat emanating from the fireplace, laughing and exchanging skiing tips, which was also a lot of fun.

The tables near the fireplace were already occupied, so Gouda had to choose an empty table at random, and just as he sat down, he saw two pairs of men and women at the neighboring table, and one of them, a very gentlemanly middle-aged man, got up and walked over.

The middle-aged man walked over to the table, put his hand out, smiled and said in German, “I’m Dr. Walt, are you okay?”

Gundam got up to scratch his hand and asked, “Were you the one who found me passed out in the snow?”

Dr. Walt laughed and said, “It was a woman who found you and rushed to us for help, she…” He said, turning back. Surprised, he said, “Hey, she was sitting over there just a moment ago, why is she gone in a flash?”

Gundam looked toward the table he was pointing at, and there were glasses on the table, but the lady was nowhere to be seen. It suddenly occurred to him that the lady was most likely Marie-Lou!

“Sorry!” Gundam said and headed out of the hall after him.

But it was quiet outside the hall, not a soul in sight. Gouda chased him out the door just as a small blue nine-passenger bus pulled up and stopped in front of the club.

The door of the car opened, the first to jump out of the car is actually Fei Fatty, said: “Boss, you’re okay!”

Gundam was surprised, “What are you doing here?”

Other people have got out of the car one after another, when the lawyer came forward and said: “It was a woman who called and said that you had an accident, and asked us to come here as soon as possible ah!”

Gao Da’s eyes to the nearby sweep, still did not see half of the silhouette, had to greet everyone: “to the inside to say.”

He brought a couple of people back to the room, and the coffee that had been asked for was already on the tea .

Professor Mo couldn’t wait to ask: “Boss, what’s going on, have you seen anyone?”

Gouda greeted everyone and sat down before telling the whole story, from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Fat exclaimed, “Wow! We won the lottery!”

Jin Pingqin also said cheerfully, “We can deal with aliens, this is a big headline news that will stir up the whole world, then we are more godly than Armstrong landing on the moon!”

Prof. Mo glared at them and scolded, “Don’t make a fuss, okay?” Then he turned to Gao Da and asked, “Did you finish that girl’s story?”

Gundam shrugged, “She was just talking about Dr. Hibberd entering the ‘UFO’ when that ghost alien woman came in.”

Professor Mo pondered for a moment and asked, “Are you going to intervene in this matter?”

Gao Da said: “Since we have met, it is not possible for us not to intervene. What’s more, if we stay out of it and don’t care, that mother and daughter won’t be able to live.”

Man Clip snorted, “Hmph! Prof. Hibberd himself doesn’t care if they live or die, so what do we care?”

Gouda said in disbelief: ”He probably doesn’t realize the gravity of the situation. Although Joanie’s story is not finished, but according to my guess, it is likely to be like this: Hibberd into the ‘ufo’, met the base host, due to his fanaticism for research work, access to a high degree of science and technology, it is an unattainable opportunity. Hibberd into the ‘ufo’, met the base host, due to his fanaticism for research work, access to a high degree of science and technology, it is an unattainable opportunity, so he decided to stay in the secret base since . Base. He once rescued Nisaia, and the two of them spent time together, day after day, they became husband and wife, and gave birth to a daughter, Joanie. After more than ten years, this is based on Joanie’s age to judge, Dr. Hibberd may be the base of all the secrets, are ingested in that small ‘microchip’!

The mother and daughter were detained while they waited for an opportunity to escape from the base. Hibberd must have thought that the base host is Nisaia’s father, and even the biggest things have to take into account the love between father and daughter, and will not put that pair of mother and daughter how. But he did not expect the seriousness of the situation, that planet specially sent alien woman, position above the base host, everything must listen to her.”

Prof. Mo said, “So you’re planning to find Dr. Hibberd, tell him the seriousness of the matter, and persuade him to hand over the ‘microchip’?”

Gouda nodded slightly : “If he knew that his alien father-in-law couldn’t shelter that mother and daughter either, I’m sure he would agree.”

Attorney Toki was confused, “But if the ‘admirer’ is Dr. Hibbard, how could he have telegraphed you and what was the purpose of asking you to come?”

Gouda said, “Once we find him, everything will be answered.”

Wan Clip grunted again, “It’s not you who should go to him, it’s him who should come to you!”

Gautama smiled indifferently and said, “It doesn’t matter who is looking for whom, the most important thing is that there are less than seventy hours left… Oh, by the way, when you arrived at the gate just now, did you see a woman hurrying out?”

Everyone looked at each other, apparently no one had seen it.

It was at that moment that the phone suddenly rang.

“I’ll get it.” Gundam rushed over and grabbed the microphone: “Hello!”

An urgent woman’s voice came from the other side: “Mr. Gao?”

“I am.” Gautama immediately thought of Lo-Marie and hastily gestured to everyone to keep quiet. The other party immediately said, “My name is Lo-Marie, I am the one who asked you to meet me at the summit this morning…”

Without waiting for her to finish, Gouda had already said eagerly, “Ms. Luo, I must see you immediately, it’s a matter of two people’s lives, will you come to my room or will I go to your place?”

LoMarie hesitated before saying, “You go alone to the back triple-warming room and wait in the steam room.”

With that she hung up.

Mr. Toki asked, “Is that the woman who called us?”

Gundam put down the microphone and said, “Maybe! Now I’m going to see her alone, please be quiet, don’t go out, stay in the room and wait for my news.”

Everyone looked at each other again with a look of disappointment and helplessness.

Gowda exited the room and hurried to the back.

The entertainment department is quite large and has all kinds of equipment. In addition to nearly one hundred suites, catering department, bar, coffee room in the lobby, there are gymnasium, pool room, Turkish bath, sauna, massage room, and the bathroom is divided into men’s and women’s departments.

It suddenly occurred to Gowda that Mary Lo was only in his triple-warming room, waiting in the steam room, and had not specified whether she was going to the men’s or women’s section. However, since he was a male guest, he couldn’t sniff his way into the ladies’ section!

He couldn’t help but smile darkly as he stepped into the three-warmth men’s section.

The attendant immediately greeted him, led him to the dressing room and removed all his clothes, shoes and socks, and wrapped a large bath towel around his waist and draped another one over his body.

San Heating is a fashionable thing that is popular for a while, first in the steam room to steam out a sweat, and then immersed in the cold pool and hot pool, one cold and one hot, to stimulate the blood circulation, to achieve the effect of recovery from fatigue and elimination of excessive fat.

It was just after six o’clock in the evening, and most of the tourists staying at the club had not yet had dinner, so there was not yet a single person in the sauna. The waiters were all sitting around, bored, playing chess or watching TV.

Gundam bypassed the hot and cold pools and entered directly into the steam room. It was a small rectangular room against the innermost part, with wooden panels on all four walls, and two long wooden benches immediately adjacent to the panels as you entered, for people to sit and receive the hot steam.

In the steam room, naturally, ten people were even less visible, which was really a good place for a secret meeting.

Gowda sat down facing the doorway, and then suddenly it occurred to him that if he couldn’t go to the women’s section, how could Marie Lo break into the men’s section?

A few minutes later, someone pushed the door open. In the smoky steam, it was only vaguely apparent that the person who had come in was wearing a large towel around his waist, with another draped over each shoulder, just like him. Although he was small (for a man’s size), his “flat” hairstyle indicated that he could not be a woman.

Unexpectedly, this person not only sat close to him on purpose, but also extended his right hand out of the large bath towel he was wearing: “Nice to meet you!”

Gouda could not help but be stunned, and was busy turning sideways to shake hands with her, saying in surprise, “You, you’re Ms. Luo?”

Mary Lo spoke fluent Mandarin: “I slipped in through the side window and no one noticed. Besides, it’s dinnertime and no one will probably come, so I decided to meet you here.”

Gouda couldn’t help but laugh, “This place is really nice, it’s just that you’ll have to sacrifice your color.”

LoMarie said unconventionally, “I’m wearing a bikini swimsuit underneath, and with my hair, even if someone were sitting across from me right now, they wouldn’t be able to tell that I’m a woman. In order to complete the mission for Dr. Hibbard, I have to take any risk.”

Gundam made an “oh” sound and asked curiously, “Forgive me for asking, but who are Dr. Hibberd and Ms. Law?”

Luo Marie picked up: “He is my uncle and the only family I have today.”

Gowda asked again, “Did you call me with the telegram?”

Luo Marie nodded her head and said, “Yes, I can neither call the police nor have anyone else to help me in this matter, so I have no choice but to ask you for help.”

Gundam was surprised: “How could you think of me and think I would definitely come?”

Luo Mary said: “I’ll tell you about this later. Mr. Gao, I saw that you were captured by the people on the helicopter, why did they let you go again?”

Gundam asked, “Oh? How did you see them take me?”

Mary Lo said thankfully: “I was wearing an oxygen mask and hiding in the snowbank. Because my appointment was at seven o’clock, and I have never seen you, and you arrived more than ten minutes earlier, so I could not be sure if it was you, so I did not dare to show up. Otherwise, I would have been captured by them too.”

Gouda couldn’t help but follow up with another question, “Why did you ask me to meet you on that peak?”

Mary Lo said: “I have long realized that there are people watching me in the dark, so I have to be careful. It is for their sake that I cut my hair into a small flat head, sometimes easy to change into a man’s costume, sometimes wearing a variety of different wigs. Mr. Gao, I will explain other things to you later, please tell me quickly, after being captured by them!”

Gundam could not tell the unfinished story from the beginning again, and said bluntly: “I met Dr. Hibbard’s daughter, and they let me back to tell Dr. Hibbard to hand over the ‘microchip’ within seventy-two hours or else they would execute the mother and daughter, and a few hours have passed. “

Marie-Lou was shocked: “What should we do? There are only sixty hours left…”

Gundam asked, “Do you have the microchip they want?”

Before Romary could answer, she heard a clamor.

She hurriedly said, “Someone is coming, I’ll wait for you in room three hundred and thirty-three.” After saying that, she suddenly kissed Gouda on the face and hurriedly took the door out.

Gouda chased him out and saw that Mary Lo was opening the window and climbing out, then turned back to him and waved, closing the window and leaving quickly. Looking towards the entrance again, no wonder it was so noisy, it turned out to be Fatty Fei, Fat and Wan Clip who had come.

They were rough-hewn people who, regardless of the fact that public places should be kept quiet, treated the place as if it were a Chinese-style bathing hall, and, coupled with a lack of words, were arguing with the attendant who had come up to intervene. Gouda looked on and couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

Goddard arrived at the door of room three hundred and thirty-three and reached out to ring the doorbell.

The door opened, and there, before his eyes, appeared a voluptuous woman with long hair and a black satin dressing-gown, and evidently by no means Romary.

Gautama was stunned and said, “Excuse me…”

Unexpectedly, before the words were out of his mouth, he was dragged into the room by the woman unexpectedly, quickly closed the door, and wrapped his arms around Gouda’s neck, so he sent a passionate kiss.

Prodigal son Gouda is always ready to accept any kind of luck that comes his way. He also does not care what this girl is, since automatically sent kisses, then take it all, kissed first.

He, a “big player”, had kissed all kinds of women and naturally sensed that this girl was also an experienced and skillful expert.

This woman’s kissing method is as passionate as fire, both sides of the lips just close to each other, she attacked each other’s mouth with her tongue to start a fight. Gouda is open to meet the battle, and she picks a short fight. Both sides did not show any weakness to each other and went all out to kiss each other passionately.

Inside the ski club is a centralized system of heating and cooling, warm in winter, cool in summer, and spring-like in all seasons. Even though it is snowy and silver outside, and even colder at night, you don’t have to wear heavy clothes in the suite. But in the suite, you don’t need to wear heavy clothes, just light casual clothes.

The woman wore this black satin morning coat, opaque but light and smooth, with a girdle that revealed the curves of her slender figure.

The prodigal son, Gouda, who was a veteran of flirting, could see that the girl would not “stop there” and would never refuse even if he made a further bold move. So without fear, he reached out and pulled the knot of her belt open, and the morning jacket was suddenly open.

It turned out that the girl was actually unguarded in her dressing gown, naked and wearing nothing!

Gouda felt violently shaken, and could not help but hold her up and carry her to the bed to set her down. And their four lips still closely kissed, never separated from each other.

He crouched sideways on top of the female, kissing her with wanton fervor. The question of who she really was didn’t seem to matter. It was the fact that she had the looks, the body, and the passionate, bold style that was right up Gundam’s alley that mattered most.

Gundam was already on fire with desire and was getting more and more impulsive. He had already left behind the “microchip”, Dr. Hibberd, and Joanie, and was only interested in getting satisfaction from the girl.

In his mind, there are only two kinds of women who go to bed, one can be slowly appreciated and savored, the other can only be devoured.

Gouda was observant enough to see from the blonde color of her fine sweaty hair all over her body, even the thick patch of body hair was brown, that the girl must be a hybrid, with a mixture of Eastern and Western blood. The reason why he concluded that the girl had oriental blood was because, like Mary Lo, she spoke fluent Chinese.

From the sound of her voice, she sounded like Lo-Marie, but in terms of appearance, it couldn’t be the same person. Although it was hard to see her face in the steamy room, she was wearing a man’s haircut… Godard suddenly remembered that Mary had said, “It’s for their sake that I cut my hair into a flat haircut… and sometimes it makes it easier for me to change into a man’s costume… and sometimes I put on all kinds of wigs!”

Could she be?

Mary Lo, who was completely naked, said without restraint, “I want to confirm whether you are the prodigal son of Gouda or not.”

“Oh?” Gundam said in surprise, “Is this the way you have to identify yourself?”

Luo Mary caressingly laughed: “I have heard that the prodigal son Gouda’s consistent style, is to ask him to self  to risk to do a thing, there must be a considerable price, in addition to the huge number of money enough to make him move, is enough to make him move the woman!”

Gouda could not help but laugh and ask: “So, you think you are enough to make me heart, for you to risk everything for the woman?”

Luo Mary said: “I myself know that the conditions are not enough, but I heard that the prodigal son of Gao Da can conquer any woman, so I had to use this way, to find out whether you are the prodigal son of Gao Da.”

（４）

Gouda and Romari were both soaking in a large square shaped double bath.

Gundam suddenly said, “Now can you tell me everything?”

Luo Mary reached out from the water, caressing his chest thick chest hair, charmingly laughed: “Time is still early, what’s your hurry!”

“I’m in a hurry?” Gouda said: “That does not become the emperor is not anxious, but anxious eunuch.”

Luo Mary’s eyes shifted to between his two crotches, “pfft” a laugh: “You want to become a eunuch, as the emperor I do not know how many green hats to wear!”

Gouda put a smile: “I’m serious with you, the remaining time is only sixty hours, two people’s lives can be in our hands.”

‘Luo Mary seems to be very sure, as if nothing happened, said: “Do not worry, now already know that their mother and daughter safe and sound, when the time comes, as long as the ‘microchip’ to hand over the replacement on the line.”

Gundam was surprised: “You have the microchip?”

Luo Mary does not make a positive answer, put the words aside: “There is a point that you may not have thought of, this is also my uncle did not dare to hand over the ‘microchip’, because my aunt is an alien, my cousin is also equal to half of the aliens, and my uncle knows too much about everything in their base, even if my uncle Even if my uncle handed over the microchip, would they let him go easily? Maybe, even my uncle will be killed by them, so he didn’t dare to show his face and asked me to come out to you for help.”

Gouda said unhappily, “So the so-called ‘gift’ on your telegram is simply a cover to trick me into coming?”

“No!” Luo Mary positively said: “As long as you can save my aunt and cousin, my uncle  is willing to give you all the alien information he has collected over the past ten years.”

Gundam said lightly, “I’m not a scientist who studies space knowledge, so what’s the point of having that information.”

Mary Lo said, “Don’t underestimate it, that information is worth at least a billion dollars!”

“Oh?” Gundam stammered, “So valuable? Then I’m a bit excited about it. However, as long as you hand over the ‘microchip’, you can exchange them for the mother and daughter, so why do you need me to save them?”

Mary Luo said with a sigh of relief: “Alas! Didn’t I just say that? My uncle in order to aunt and cousin, determined to give up the ‘microchip’, but fear that the aliens are not trustworthy, something to hand, not only not release, but kill them three to silence. Therefore, my uncle would rather  give the ‘microchip’ to you, as long as you can save their mother and daughter.”

Gouda wasn’t a limber, simple-minded person, and he always felt that there was something about the whole thing that wasn’t quite right, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

He pondered for a moment and asked, “You haven’t told me how you came up with the idea of finding me?”

Mary Lo smiled charmingly and snuggled up to his chest, caressing his muscular chest and said, “Wasn’t my telegram titled ‘Admirer’? That means I’ve heard a lot about you!”

Gouda said, “That’s not the answer I wanted.”

Luo Ma Yu hesitated a little, and smiled: “To tell you the truth, this idea came from me. Because I am a fan of novels, especially like to read spiritual and science fiction, Wesley’s novels I almost all read.”

“Oh!” Gundam said unexpectedly, “I can’t believe you’re his loyal reader!”

Luo Marie laughed and continued: “There are quite a few of Wesley’s science fiction novels about aliens, and the general public may think that they are his fictionalized stories. People may think that it is his fictionalized stories and treat it as a novel. But I have always believed that Wesley’s imagination is rich, but it is impossible to write so realistic, it must be true. In other words, there are aliens in the universe and they have come to Earth.

When my uncle escaped from that secret base, found me and told me everything, my first thought was to report the case to the police. But my uncle was strongly against it. Not only was he concerned about the safety of my aunt and cousin, but also about the fact that if he reported the case, would the police believe that they were being held hostage by aliens?

We had no one else to turn to, so I thought of Mr. Wesley and managed to get his phone number, which I called. The person who answered the phone said he was in Africa and could not be reached. When he heard me say that it was urgent and that I had to ask Mr. Wesley’s help, he suggested that I might want to talk to you and gave me the number and address.”

Gundam laughed and asked, “Then why didn’t you call me?”

Mary Lo said: “I don’t know much about you, and I can’t go into too much detail over the phone. So I asked around. After knowing everything about Prodigal Son Gouda, I decided to send you that telegram.”

Gao Da said, “You seem to be very sure that you have calculated that I will definitely come?”

Romari laughed, “Because you’re the famous Prodigal Son Gundam!”

Gouda grabbed her hand that was moving to the lower part of her belly and stopped it, “I’ll get down to business first, there are two issues that you must explain to me. First, your aunt is an alien, she  intention to leave the secret base, facing the earthlings who see her as a ‘monster’?”

Luo Marie was stunned, as if she didn’t expect Gouda to suddenly ask this question, but she quickly replied, “My uncle has already made arrangements, and decided to give my cousin to me, so that she can contact this world and live a normal life. And he took my aunt to find a place where no one knows to live in seclusion, no one will know that his wife is an alien so shocking to the world.”

Gouda added: “Secondly, you said the ‘microchip’ is worth one billion dollars, have you already found a buyer?”

Luo Mary nodded and said: “The buyer is my uncle once worked for the company, they have a huge consortium support, as long as the purchase of the ‘memory camera’ design blueprints, on  intention to pay a billion dollars.”

Gundam asked, “Not including alien information?”

“Not included,” said LoMarie: “My uncle didn’t mention the aliens at all, and there was no need for them to know that the deal that was talked about was just the ‘Memory Camera’.”

Gundam followed up with, “What was recorded on that ‘microchip’ was the blueprint for the ‘Memory Camera’?”

Mary Luo solemnly said: “If it was only the blueprints, the aliens would not be so nervous and would have to recover it. The blueprints are only a tiny part of the microchip, which is insignificant in the context of the entire microchip. But this small part is already worth a billion dollars. If we were to sell the important alien information to any technologically advanced country in the world, I’m afraid there would be people clamoring for it even at a price of five billion dollars!”

Gouda said, “And your uncle gave it away?”

Romaly said with a straight face, “In my uncle’s heart, my aunt and cousin are more important than the wealth of the world!”

Gouda slightly nodded his head and said: “Your uncle is a very sentimental person, in order to this point, I  intend to help him a hand. However, we pull the words back to say uncle’s meaning, is not hope I can save your aunt and cousin, and to ‘microchip’ as the price. In fact, he does not  intend to give the ‘microchip’ to that group of aliens?”

Luo Marie said: “I think I’ve made it clear that even if they hand over the ‘microchip’, they will never keep their word and release them!”

“Well…” said Gao Da, pondering for a moment, “I have almost enough men, but I don’t know where the secret base is, so how can I rescue it?”

Luo Mary laughed: “This need not worry, within the time limit, do not need you to find them, they will naturally come to you.”

Gundam laughed and asked, “You seem to have foresight in everything?”

Mary Lo said: “If I’m not wrong, in this ski club, there are their people in the secret surveillance. So I meet with you, had to be particularly cautious, otherwise how would it be about in the men’s three warm steam room? This is a move they would never have thought of.”

Gundam smiled and said, “What about when I come to your room?”

Romari burrowed into his arms and said, “If your actions will be watched by them, then the Prodigal Gundam will disappoint me too much.”

Gouda took her hand and kissed it, saying, “Thank you for estimating me so highly, but they’re aliens, they’re different at first glance, so how could they possibly live here to spy on me secretly?”

According to my uncle, about twenty years ago, a mountaineering team of young West Germans inadvertently broke into the base and were all captured. Later that group of men and women subjected to ‘brainwashing’, and in the brain into a very small electro-crystalline receiver, completely under the remote control of the aliens. It is probably this group of people who are secretly spying on you.”

When Gouda heard Joanie’s story about what happened to the two dozen or so young men and women from West Germany, he couldn’t help but wonder, “Tonight in the lobby, that man who called himself Dr. Walt greeted me. The man who called himself Dr. Walter and greeted me, could he be…”

Mary Luo smiled charmingly and said, “I don’t care about him, yes or no, anyway, the deadline is still more than 60 hours, let them go to monitor it!”

Gouda smiled brightly, “So we’ve been soaking in this bath for the past sixty hours or so?”

Mary Lo had a pair of full, firm, towering bosoms that couldn’t help but remind Gouda of a Thai bath.

“Thai bath” is world-famous, the beauty of it is the waitress naked, to the bosoms and lower body for the guests massage scrubbing, people are floating, if not personally experience, it is difficult to imagine that kind of comfortable feeling. And engaged in this industry, not only to young and beautiful women, and must be fit, especially necessary conditions is the peaks of full, particularly lush body hair, otherwise it is not qualified to eat this line of work, which is also the “Thai bath” features.

Mary Luo performed her excellent kung fu as well as the professional waitresses of the “Thai Bath”, and was even more enthusiastic and daring. Gundam couldn’t stand her rubbing and rubbing, and couldn’t stand it any longer.

Mary Lo felt it immediately and asked with a smile on her face, “Do you want to enjoy it for a little while longer?”

Gouda was right on target, nodding his head and saying, “Good!”

Luo Marie gave him a teasing wink: “You’ll know how good my kung fu is later.” She smiled flirtatiously and stood up, walked out of the bath, took the shower gel by the pool, squeezed it into her hand and rubbed it all over her body. Gundam also got out of the bath and lay down by the side of the pool, waiting calmly to enjoy her show of strength.

Once she had smeared all over her body, Romari came over and squatted down next to Gouda, squeezing the body lotion over him and smoothing it out with both hands.

This girl does have a set of skills, although she is riding on the body of Gouda, but her two hands are separated to support the ground, so as not to make the people below bear the slightest weight. Her brushwork was even more skillful, brushing all over Gao Da’s body without a single omission.

Gao Da’s physical exuberance had made him original and stupid. Mary Lo was oblivious to this and continued to perform her brushing technique. After the brushing, she continued to massage her biceps.

At this point her kneeling and crouching position changed slightly, her hips bucking high while keeping her biceps close to Gauda’s body.

Both of them were covered in body lotion and slippery, sliding around everywhere.

Luo Mary unique double peaks, both plump and firm, and extremely elastic. Tightly pressed on up to the chest, once rubbed rubbing, the feeling of its soul-crushing, can not help but drift to immortality.

As they were about to leave the bath, rinsing their bodies off, the fire in the duo’s hearts stopped.

It was nearly twelve midnight when Goddard left room three hundred and thirty-three.

When he came here tonight, he took the elevator to the fifth floor, exited the elevator, and quickly sprinted down the stairs to the third floor to make sure he wasn’t being followed before walking to the door of room three hundred and thirty-three and ringing the bell.

Now he was running up the stairs to the fifth floor and then taking the elevator down to the ground floor.

Prof. Mok and the others had already opened several other rooms, but they were still gathered in Gouda’s room waiting for news. They knew that nothing would happen to Gouda if he went to see Mary Lo, but after a few hours of not seeing him back, they were a bit worried for him.

A few of the “diehards” were feeling anxious and uneasy when the sound of the door unlocking finally rang out.

Originally, everyone was lying down, sitting down, or walking back and forth, one was smoking hard, and no one was talking. As soon as they saw Gouda open the door and walk in, all of them jumped up.

Fatty Fei complained, “Boss, why are you coming back now, we almost had to publish a newspaper to find people!”

Gundam laughed easily, “It’s not that serious, is it? You guys really can’t help it, and you’re making too much of a fuss.”

Ah Fa could see that Gouda was full of joy and complacency, and couldn’t help but sigh and say, “Alas! We are in a hurry here, maybe the boss is still not willing to come back, too early!”

Professor Mo stepped forward and said, “Boss, don’t hang on to your appetite, quickly tell us what happened when we went to see that woman!”

Gouda calmly sat down, first lighted a cigarette and inhaled two mouthfuls, before going to see Mary Luo’s situation briefly and succinctly said once again. Naturally, the wonderful part about the two people’s passionate fire, is a light touch, inconvenient and  trust out.

As soon as he finished his story, he heard Ah Fat excitedly exclaim, “Oh my god! With a billion dollars, we’ll never have to worry about food, drink, or fun in our next life!”

Wan Clip could hardly believe his ears, his eyes were open and he wanted to say something but couldn’t.

Fatty Fei then turned to Professor Mo and asked, “Can a blueprint for a camera design be worth a billion dollars?”

Professor Mo shrugged his shoulders and looked at Wei Songshi and said, “He’s an insider, so I’ll have to ask him.”

Wei Songshi said with the air of an expert: “Listening to what the boss said just now, maybe Dr. Hibberd’s idea back then, through the high-tech of aliens has already made a breakthrough, and even completed the ‘Memory Camera’. If it can really make the disappeared image, rewind time and space to record it, then this unprecedented invention is definitely worth the price!”

Fatty Fei was overjoyed and said, “So, what Mary Luo said is true?”

The lawyer put his head a little, agreed: “I think it can’t be fake, otherwise how could she have such a big money for us to book a room in a hotel in Zurich, and prepaid all the food and accommodation expenses for a week, maybe they have already received a large amount of deposit from the buyer!”

Everyone seems to be dazzled by the billion dollars, and the conversation always revolves around money. You said one thing, I said another, as if every one of them was about to become a billionaire right away. On the contrary, Gouda was frowning, smoking heavily, and silently wondering what he was thinking.

Fatty Fei suddenly asked: “Boss, to give you a billion dollars, that Luo bitch can make the decision?”

Gautama’s answer was irrelevant, mumbling to himself, “Something doesn’t feel right about this, but I can’t quite put my finger on what’s wrong…”

That’s when Fat got into an argument with Man Clip, and the two of them got into a fight.

Wan Clip jumped up and shouted: “Don’t just think about getting rich, who doesn’t love money, but it’s not a good thing to take, you have to save that mother and daughter. Fighting with the aliens is a game of life, or you will lose your life!”

Ah Fat said: “Joke! There are less than a hundred aliens, but there are billions of people on Earth. If they come to Earth, can they still dominate? Hmph! No way!”

Wan Clip retorted, “Then let me ask you, is it the few of us who are going to save the people, or the billions of people across the planet?”

Ah Fat rolled his eyes at the rebuttal: “You, you’re just trying to make a point!”

“Will you guys stop arguing!” Professor Mo stopped the two and turned to Gao Da, “Old Fei was right just now, this matter is not necessarily in the hands of Mary Luo, it’s best if you can meet Dr. Hibberd himself.”

Gundam forced a smile: “I’ve already mentioned this to Mary Lo, but she said that Dr. Hibberd is not in a position to see anyone for security reasons. As for the exchange of the ‘microchip’ for the mother and daughter, no matter in what way, she is authorized to make all the decisions.”

Prof. Mo expressed his skepticism: “This is only what Romary herself said, whether or not Hibbard is its consent, we have no idea at all!”

“Right!” Fatty Fei said, “What if they don’t hand over the ‘microchip’ when we risk our lives to save them?”

When the lawyer suddenly said: “I have an idea, the boss may as well go and tell the woman surnamed Luo, if you are not allowed to see Dr. Hibberd, we will not go to save the people, to see if he sees.”

Several others unanimously agreed: “Yes, yes, yes, let’s do it.”

Gautam said, “I’m afraid that’s… that’s not a good idea, but Dr. Hibberd’s concern is not entirely unnecessary. In fact, even Romali is being watched, and if I hadn’t arrived ten minutes earlier yesterday morning, she would have been captured by the aliens. If Dr. Hibberd himself had intervened, there would have been no point in him being captured and taken back to the base.”

Everyone looked at each other, one contemplative.

For a moment, the atmosphere was suddenly sullen.

Professor Mo suddenly said: “I just thought of a point, but I do not know whether it is important, that is, Luo Mary said, she originally wanted to ask Mr. Wei for help, because people are not in Africa, the person who answered the phone to listen to her say that the matter is very urgent, only to suggest that she look for the boss, and the address and phone number to tell her. She added that she didn’t know too much about everything about the Boss, and that she had to ask around in many ways in order to be prudent. In that case, she couldn’t just ask any random person amongst themselves, and it must have cost her a lot of money and time to inquire. In the meantime, whoever is looking after the house for Mr. Wei, since they received the call for help from Mary Lo and took it upon themselves to recommend the Boss, shouldn’t they immediately call and take care of the Boss?”

Gao Da suddenly jumped up and rushed to Prof. Mo, and said excitedly, “Old Mo, you are really worthy of being a doctor of chemistry in Berlin University, and you didn’t study for nothing. I have always felt that something is not quite right, just can’t figure out where the problem lies, now you have really woken up the dreamer with one word!”

Instead, Professor Mo looked at him blankly and asked, “Boss, I just suddenly thought of this, is it really so important?”

Gouda smiled without answering and sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the phone on the nightstand and reported the number, asking the switchboard to dial the transatlantic call to Wesley’s apartment for him.

Everyone gathered around and kept quiet.

A few moments later, the call was answered.

The one who answered the phone was Hu Hu, who was a frequent guest of the Wei family and, together with Wen Bao Yu and a few others, had provided himself with the key to the Wei mansion, so that he could come and go freely at any time.

As soon as Hu Hu heard that it was Gao Da, he perked up and asked, “Big Brother Gao, are you going to take us to ‘Flower’ a ‘Flower’?”

Gao Da laughed: “There’s a chance, is Brother Wei around?”

Nonsense, the other side replied, “He has taken Sister Baek (the Baek family) to Japan.”

Gundam could not help but be stunned, and said in surprise: “Going to Japan? Didn’t I hear he went to Africa?”

Nonsense laughed: “What are you going to do in Africa? Hunting elephants and lions and tigers? They are going to the shrine in Tanagata Prefecture, Japan, to visit the ‘male temple’ which.”

The “Male Temple” can be called “the world’s strange temple”, because the “god” it is dedicated to is very special. Surprisingly, it is a man’s sex toy!

Gouda traveled to Japan, once “famous” special trip to open the eyes of the temple for all men’s sex, and there are hundreds of large and small, which is the main hall of the oversized is the “main god”. The length of one zhang seven, eight, round diameter also has two feet, the whole body painted vermilion, was excited erection.

It is said that the “god” of the “male temple” is very spiritual, and most of the people who come to worship it are women, mostly those who have been married for a long time and have not been able to have children, or those who have had several daughters in a row and wish to have a boy. There are also women whose marriages have not gone well and who come to pray to the “god” for blessings.

There are even a few male believers who seek “God” because they are “unable to fulfill their wives’ demands.”

Give strength so that he can be great.

Just look at the good men and women for the “God” rich offerings of colorful hanging gold, almost every month to cope with, we know that the temple of the “God” is indeed some of the doorway.

Gouda was not surprised that Wesley took Bessou to Japan to open his eyes and visit the “male temple”. What did surprise him was how Mary Law said that they had gone to Africa.

He immediately asked, “Xiao Hu, has there been a woman surnamed Luo who has recently called Brother Wei from Europe?”

“No!” Nonsense: “They have been gone for more than a week, these days we are here to look after the house for them, even the phone hardly rings.”

Goddard had gotten his answer; Romary was simply lying!

But they didn’t have the need to say more to Hu, that is to say: “Xiao Hu, please try to get in touch with Brother Wei at once, please ask him to come to Austria within forty-eight hours as far as possible, we live in the ski club outside of Innsbruck, and there is a very urgent matter. If he can’t make it, give me a call as well.”

Nonsense: “He left a phone number for us to call a Mr. Tanaka in Kobe if we have any important matters, but 48 hours…”

Gouda said, “Then you call now, I won’t say more, I will definitely take you to the ‘flower’ when I come back, bye.”

Hanging up the phone, his eyes swept, only to see the same expression on everyone’s face, seemingly in unison, said: “There is something wrong with Mary Lo!”

But why did she lie about it?

Thinking on the bright side, Luo Marie might have had to deliberately bring up Wesley in order to bolster her credibility, indicating that she had first intended to ask him for help. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too redundant to approach Gouda out of the blue. If one thought on the bad side, then there was no telling what kind of ghost this woman was picking.

Fatty Fei finally couldn’t help but say, “Boss, what exactly is the woman surnamed Luo’s crooked idea?”

Ah Fat said smartly, “I think she’s probably working with the aliens!”

Wan Clip caught the opportunity to take advantage of the food he said: “You’re really smart, if she is the aliens gang, the boss has been captured, will still let him back?”

With an embarrassed look on his face, Fat stepped away and didn’t say anything.

Professor Mo suggested: “Boss, I think it’s best to stay put for now, so as not to frighten the snakes. You go and see her now, and insist that you must meet with Dr. Hibberd; or else quit, and see what she says.”

Gouda didn’t comment, pondered for a moment, and made an immediate decision: “Everyone, we’re going to enter a state of readiness now. Fatty Fei, as soon as it’s light out, go into the city and try to rent a helicopter. In addition, no matter how much it costs, to find a clothing store, to be able to prevent high voltage insulation fabric for each of us to rush to make a set of one-piece straitjacket, is intended to be worn under the clothes, but also comes with the same material gloves and stockings. Purchase, by the way, a couple of wireless radios and self-defense weapons.”

Fatty Fei always carries a notepad and pen with him, and quickly jotted down all the things he needed, and laughed: “No problem, leave all this to me.”

Gouda also turned to Wei Songshi and Ah Fa and said, “The helicopter is rented, so you two will guard the nearby hills, take my binoculars and the walkie-talkie Fatty bought, and covertly monitor the movements in the vicinity and here, and stand by to be ready to pick up the pieces at any time.”

The two responded in unison, “Yes!”

Gao Da methodically explained to Prof. Mo, “Professor, tomorrow morning, you will take a plane to Geneva to find out whether Dr. Hibberd or his representatives have recently made contact with them. You take a plane to Geneva to find out the truth about the company that Dr. Hibberd used to work for, mainly to find out if they have had any recent contact with Dr. Hibberd himself or his representatives, such as Mary Lo, and their attitude towards the ‘Memory Camera’.”

Professor Mo smiled confidently : “No problem.”

Gouda then said to Lawyer Shi and Jin Huqin, “You will stay at the club all day tomorrow, and you may as well go around and keep an eye out for any suspicious characters, especially those who pay special attention to me, no matter whether they are men or women, and it would be best to find out which room they are staying in.”

Lawyer Toki nodded: “Don’t worry boss, leave it to me.”

Seeing that everyone had a mission but him, he asked, “Boss, what about me?”

Gouda said : “You are an expert in lock picking, tomorrow I will use the trick of transferring the tiger to ask Luo Mary out, you will enter room three hundred and thirty-three to search.”

Wan Clip then laughed: “No problem, watch me.”

Gundam finished his assignment, and immediately gave the order of dismissal, saying, “Well, I need to get some rest, so everyone is free to go about their business. But it’s best to go back to your rooms early and get some sleep, it’s going to be a busy day tomorrow.”

Everyone then remembered that they hadn’t even eaten dinner yet in order to keep watch in their rooms for news of Gowda. Now that the time had long passed, the only thing to do was to go to the cafeteria for a midnight snack.

（５）

Gundam really needs to get some rest.

He did feel exhausted after two successive fierce physical battles with Romari, which were so dark. Even the late-night snacks are too lazy to go with them to eat, took off his clothes and shoes and socks and fell on the bed. However, he couldn’t sleep, so he lit a cigarette and sat against the bed and contemplated.

Though everything about Mary Law was indeed suspicious, especially since it had been confirmed that her claim that she had first intended to ask Wesley for help, and had approached him only after being recommended, was simply a lie. But the whole thing, again, didn’t seem to be a fabrication.

He has already made personal contact with the aliens and met Hibberd’s daughter, Joanie, and what the microchip triggered seems to be true. Then why does Golda have a sixth sense that something is not quite right about the whole thing?

The most plausible explanation for Romari’s motivation to lie was that she was afraid that approaching Gouda out of the blue would be too abrupt and might even arouse suspicion. If Wesley had been involved, the situation might have been different.

Wesley’s science fiction novels are popular around the world and are bestsellers with a wide readership. And at the end of his books, there was a notice that any readers are welcome to provide “strange things” beyond the field of science, breakthroughs in reality, and the unbelievable, as the material for his writing, but it must be the personal experience of the provider, and hearsay is not welcome.

He has left a telephone number for direct contact.

Of course, this number is not his apartment, just a special phone of the publishing house. Otherwise, readers who adore him would call him directly to chat or talk nonsense, and he would be so overwhelmed that he wouldn’t even have time to write.

In order to be prudent, the publisher must first filter the incoming calls, and only when it is deemed necessary to discuss the matter, will it ask the other party to decide on its own way of contacting it, and then notify Wesley. Only after agreeing to do so would they notify the other party and agree on a time and place for an interview.

So it’s not like anyone can just call Wesley unless they get the phone number of his apartment from another source.

Mary Law has already explained this point, and it is the tumbling that manages to find out Wesley’s phone number that seems to clear up the suspicion.

But she neglected one point, if she really called, Wesley and Bai Kyoto is not at home, the person who answered the phone heard that it is a very urgent matter to ask for help, the spirit of the recommendation of up to, after the incident will inevitably call to notify, and in no way can not be ignored.

Especially since Wesley and the White family were going to Japan, not Africa as she said, is proof that she never made the call at all. In other words, she telegraphed directly to Gouda.

She may have lied and brought Wesley into this for the very reason stated earlier, and had no other motive. But then, how did she know Gouda’s address?

The famous “Prodigal Son Gouda” is also a highly publicized and popular figure, so it is not difficult to find out his address. It only takes a limited amount of money to find a credit bureau or a private detective, and it can be found out within two hours.

So it doesn’t matter how he was found, the point is why did Marie Law favor him?

Besides, the reputation of the Prodigal Son Gundam is not necessarily favorable. Was it because he was so fearless that Marie-Lou decided he was the only one who dared to risk breaking into a secret base and rescuing the kidnapped mother and daughter from the heavily guarded aliens?

When Gouda thought of this, he couldn’t help but smile and muttered to himself, “She’s really wise to recognize heroes!”

But he was then lost in thought, thinking of Professor Moe’s offer, insisting that he must see Dr. Hibberd in person, or else he would throw up his hands and see what Romary had to say about it.

He was an acute man, and when he thought of it, he did it; he could not wait till to-morrow, and hastily putting on his clothes and shoes and socks, he slipped out of his room.

Just as he reached the front of the elevator room, he saw the indicator light pointing out that someone was taking the elevator down from above. In order to avoid being bumped into, Gouda made an instant decision and hurriedly went straight to the third floor from a side staircase.

The hallways were silent as Gundam arrived at the door of room 303 and was about to press the bell when he heard a series of calls coming from inside the room. Due to the excellent soundproof equipment in the room, if not for Gouda’s particularly sensitive sense of hearing, it was almost impossible to hear it. Gao Da knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly put his ear sideways to the door of the room, and indeed heard the miserable cries of a woman in the room.

He could not help but be shocked, immediately backed up a few steps, suddenly rushed forward with all his strength, and pressed the door with his shoulder and arm violently, the door lock and the additional chain were all knocked away, which showed how much power he had, the door was knocked open, and at a glance, he saw that Mary Luo was naked on the carpet, being pressed on her backside with her knees by a strong man, her arms were tied upwards and twisted backward, and the wig that she wore was even torn off.

The other burly man, startled by the unexpected slamming of the door, looked up in one direction and turned in the other, realizing that Gouda had already broken through the door, hastily let go of Romari and both lunged at Gouda.

The crouching one got up quicker and took the brunt of the blow, getting hit with a head-on punch from Gowda, and following the road for a few steps back, dropping to sit on the edge of the couch.

The other then lunged, and was kicked by Gowda’s flying foot, which made him stumble away.

The burly man who was sitting by the sofa pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Gouda in German, shouting, “Don’t move!”

Gundam had to stop his attack and shrugged helplessly.

The other one climbed up and rushed forward, wanting to return the favor, but was stopped by the strong man with the gun, and then stood up and said in a cold voice to Gouda, “There’s not much time left, so you guys can see for yourselves!” After saying that, a gesture, the two people will be careful step by step back to the door of the room, hurry back to seize the door out.

Gouda’s bare hands, it is inconvenient to rashly chase out, rushed forward to help up Luo Mary asked: “Is there any injury?”

As if she had been greatly wronged, Lo-Marie threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Gouda was busy helping her to the bedside, took up the black satin morning jacket on the bed, and handed it to her, saying, “Put it on quickly, and we’ll talk about it in my room.”

The morning coat was too thin, and Gowda opened the closet again, fetched a short snowy coat from the coat rack and draped it over her, picked up the wig and embraced her as she hurried out of the room.

Still going down the stairs, they returned to Gauda’s room, closed the door, and helped Lomari sit down on the edge of the bed before asking, “How did they break into your room?”

Mary Law said, “The doorbell rang just after you left the room. I thought you had forgotten something, but as soon as the door opened, they sniffed in and forced me to hand over the microchip. They didn’t believe me when I said I didn’t have it on me, so they forcibly stripped me naked and searched me…” As she said this, she began to sob again.

Gouda surprised: “strange, I went to your room especially cautious and careful, first take the elevator to the fifth floor. After making sure I wasn’t followed, I went down the stairs to the third floor. Why is it that as soon as I left your room, they…”

He suddenly realized something and hurriedly felt around his entire body in all parts of his clothes.

Inexplicably, Mary Lo asked, “What are you looking for?”

Gouda said, “When that alien woman let me back, I was knocked out by the electric shock, and they must have taken the opportunity to hide a ‘tracker’ on me!”

Mary Luo nodded her head and said, “That’s right! Otherwise, I booked three hundred and one, three hundred and thirty-three, three hundred and five rooms under a substitute name, have been living in two days, why did they not take action? They must not have known that I also stayed in the club, until you went to my room, they were not sure, and when you left, they took advantage of the situation.”

Gao Da was so angry that he cursed, “Fuck! I said how they would easily let me back, so it is to use me to lead the way!”

Luo Marie also said indignantly: “Hmph! Fortunately, I have the foresight to not dare to hastily take you to see my uncle, otherwise we would have been wiped out.”

Gouda didn’t chime in and continued to feel his way throughout his body, even removing his clothes one by one and scrutinizing them piece by piece, still finding nothing.

Suddenly, I heard Mary Lo say, “Look at the heel of your shoe.”

Reminded by her comment, Gouda hurriedly went and got the bottle opener on top of the refrigerator, took off his shoes, pried open one heel, and did not find anything unusual.

When he slid open the other one, he saw that the heel had been hollowed out a little, and it contained a pocket-sized electro-crystal “tracker”!

In a fit of pique, Gouda pulled it out, put it on the tea  and destroyed it with a heavy punch, and cursed: “Fuck!”

Luo Marie took the opportunity to say: “You believe it now, right? They have no sincerity at all in releasing people. If you really took the ‘microchip’ in exchange, you might not even be able to come back!”

Gundam sat down beside her and asked with a smile, “Now that there are no more ‘trackers’, can you take me to see Dr. Hibberd?”

Luo Marie had a difficult look on her face and said, “Don’t you still trust me, why do you have to see my uncle?”

Gundam laughed: “I’m very interested in Dr. Hibbard’s ‘Space Love’, but unfortunately Joanie only told half of it, so I’d love to hear him finish it in person.”

Mary Luo smiled charmingly: “This is not easy, you lie down on the bed, let me say to you just!”

Gouda thought to himself, “Anyway, in the middle of the night, and being watched secretly, it is in fact impossible to see Dr. Hibberd now, so I might as well wait until morning.”

So he lay down on the bed.

Lo-Marie entered the room and took off her snowsuit, which was draped over her shoulders, and then took off her black satin dressing gown, so that she was completely naked. She pulled back the thin felt at the foot of the bed and covered both of them, turning on her side and embracing Gouda as she told Joanie’s unfinished “story”.

Hibberd was held to the left and right by two guards, followed by Nisaya, who was supported by the two men, and entered the “UFO” from the escalator with a tense and full of amazement.

Reports of “ufos” around the world describe them only as unidentified flying objects with very high speeds.

The most detailed report of a mysterious disc-shaped, luminous flying object was witnessed by a number of people at Arlanda Airport near Stockholm, Sweden, in 1976, the same night.

Witnesses at the time saw it clearly, when it swept through the sky at an amazingly high speed, it was like the now popular “Frisbee”, and like two pairs of saucers thrown together, so it was also known as the “flying saucer”, “ufo”. “

It’s a direct translation of “UFO”.

It has been seen on more than one occasion, always after dark in the area, passing at high speed with a long “tail”, which is actually a jet of flame, so fast that it creates the illusion of being witnessed.

Each time it rose along the horizon until it reached the airspace near the airport, then skirted the hillock and disappeared into the darkness.

The eyewitness account, which is listed in the official records of the U.S. Space Research and Development Center, shows that it is quite credible.

However, all the descriptions are only of its appearance, which can also be said to be the impression of the eyewitnesses who have a glimpse of it. What you see in the movie is a figment of the imagination of the writers, directors, and technicians.

What Dr. Hibbard saw when he entered the UFO almost made him suspect that he was on the set of a technological movie. What he saw in front of him was exactly the same as what he had seen in the movie. In amazement, he could not help but admire the imagination of the movie crew.

In the spacious circular chamber, there was a quarter-face curved radar image display wall, and in the center, there was a large fluorescent screen, equivalent to a seventy-two hour television tube, and the picture on the large fluorescent screen was the cave entrance they had just entered. Below is a row of about twenty smaller fluorescent screens, like a row of twenty-eight-hour television sets, each with a different picture, which can be seen as the “ufo” around the cave scene taken at various angles.

Dr. Hibbard was suddenly doubled, no wonder the huge thing was as sealed as it was, with not a single window in sight around it; it turned out that by sitting in front of the display wall, one could have a clear view of what was going on outside, while the picture on the large fluorescent screen was an enlargement of one of the twenty smaller ones, which could apparently be selected at will.

Directly opposite the radar image display wall distance of about one ten feet, there is a rectangular console, the table is full of meters, buttons and a branch can be moved back and forth lever. Three swivel chairs in front of the table, each with a steering wheel in front of the cockpit door, such as an airplane, and there are control rods on both sides.

I can’t imagine that the whole huge “ufo” is only operated by the three pilots, and since they are not ready to fly at this time, the three of them are sitting on the swivel chairs, just watching the display wall in front of them, monitoring all the situation inside the cave. I can’t imagine that the whole huge “ufo” is only operated by the three pilots, and since they are not ready to fly at this time, the three of them are sitting on the swivel chairs, just watching the display wall in front of them, monitoring all the situation inside the cave.

A few feet from the driver’s desk, to the left and right, there was another platform, also square, covered with a variety of instruments and operating buttons, but at the moment unattended.

“The interior of the UFO is divided into three levels, the middle level is the large circular cabin, which is also its “nerve center”, including the cockpit, display wall, all the instruments and electrical knobs of each system to control and operate the entire UFO. “The lower level is probably the entire power and electrical system. The lower level is probably the engine room for all power and electricity, as well as its belly compartment, which allows small “vehicles” to

Enter the collection.

From the spiral iron ladder, Dr. Hibbard was escorted up to the upper level.

A strange design of iron doors, all must be opened with “sound lock”, otherwise it can not enter and exit.

Entering a room that looked like the office of the chairman of a large corporation (all the desks, chairs, and cabinets were made of metal and secured so that they wouldn’t fall over during high-speed flights), he saw an alien dressed in a silver space suit, sitting behind a large curved desk.

Dr. Hibbard could not help showing a look of astonishment, for the man’s face was the shape of an egg, his head was bald and shining, and his chin was covered with a tuft of goatee. His face was white and unshiny, and his features were like those of a normal man, but there was only one single eye, which grew vertically in the middle of his brow.

Anyone who saw the face would be shocked, and Dr. Hibbard was no exception. The difference was that he had already heard the young lad describe it and had seen Nisaya’s white-as-plaster skin, and now he was seeing the alien’s true face with his own eyes.

Needless to say, Nisaya has the same “weird face”!

This man was none other than the host of the secret base, Nisaya’s father! Splinter questioned Nisaya a few times in their planet’s voice, presumably asking why she had failed to return to the base on time.

Nisaya also explained in their planetary language that the “flying tool” had run out of power and was unable to call for help by telecommunication.

It was then that the base host shot his eyes at Dr. Hibbard and asked a few more questions. The alien father and daughter seemed to get into an argument when Nisaya explained the full story, and in the end it was the father who compromised.

I had no idea he could speak German, and after signaling the two guards to let go of Dr. Hibberd, he got up and extended his hand, “Welcome to our base.”

Dr. Hibberd stepped forward and shook his hand : “Please forgive me for coming at the wrong time.”

“Have a seat.” The base host made a gesture and went ahead and sat down first.

Nisaya waited for Dr. Hibbard to sit down and said, “I’m going to treat the leg wound, so you can talk to my father!”

Dr. Hibberd nodded and watched as two of the guards assisted her out, while the other two remained behind, standing respectfully.

The base host waited for the door to close automatically before saying in a solemn tone: “We are from a very distant planet, which we call ‘Eternal Star’ in our language. To Earthlings, we are so-called ‘aliens’, just as we call you ‘Earthlings’, which means we are not ‘creatures’ living on the same planet. That is why, after we came to Earth, we never made contact with Earthlings.

There was once a mountaineering team of young men and women from West Germany that inadvertently broke into our base. They had to be left behind in order to keep the people of Earth from knowing that there were ‘aliens’ invading the planet, and more importantly for our safety concerns and freedom from outside interference. In fact, when we have refined enough energy, we are about to leave Earth, and they must return to our planet with us.”

Dr. Hibbard seemed to have realized that this opening statement had been deliberately made to him, implying that he would, in all likelihood, be in the same position as those men.

As expected, the base facilitator then said bluntly, “Therefore, since you are here, you must join us! The base host then made it straightforward, “Therefore, since you have come here, you must join us!”

By “joining”, I mean forcing Dr. Hibbard to stay.

Dr. Hibbard looked puzzled: “I… I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult to comply.”

The base facilitator said flatly, “This is not up to you, it has to be decided by me!”

Dr. Hibberd rose indignantly and said, “I’m sorry, I’ll take my leave then.”

The base host snorted coldly, “Although you have rescued my daughter, for the sake of our base’s security concerns, I must not allow any Earthling to leave here alive!”

Dr. Hibberd was shocked and furious: “Are you going to kill me to silence me?”

The base host said in a deep voice, “I hate to do this, but it has to be done!”

Dr. Hibberd grunted angrily, turned and headed for the iron gate.

The two guards came forward to stop them, and were stopped by a hand signal from the base facilitator before they each retreated.

But Dr. Hibberd couldn’t make the door open, and couldn’t help but turn back and yell, “I’ll never stay, if you want to kill me do it!”

The base host smiled coldly, “As long as you can get out, go ahead!”

Knowing that Dr. Hibberd couldn’t get out, he deliberately provoked him with his words, which made him furious, and he recklessly lunged at the base host, who was sitting still. Unexpectedly, as soon as his body touched the large curved desk, he was electrocuted and his whole body shook, and he fainted on the spot.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but when Dr. Hibberd awoke, he found himself lying in a small cabin. The rectangular space was not very large, yet there were four upper and lower iron beds, parallel and close to the bulkhead.

“UFO” space is limited, every inch of the place must be well designed and utilized, never waste, so this small cabin, it must be crowded with eight people.

At this point only Dr. Hibbard was lying on the lower iron bed to his left, and it was only when he braced himself to sit up that he noticed Nisaya sitting silently on the opposite side of the bed.

She was still in the same dress, and the black veil was not removed from her face, and she seemed to be so preoccupied with her own thoughts that she sat with her head bowed in deep meditation, so that Dr. Hibberd had awakened, and she was still unconscious of it.

It wasn’t until Dr. Hibberd moved out of bed that she noticed, “You’re awake?”

Dr. Hibbard starred up and questioned her, “Was it your idea to keep me against my will?”

Nisaya shook her head, “No, no, absolutely not…”

Dr. Hibberd was furious and said: “Hmph! I know very well, because although I have not seen your true face, but already know that you are aliens, so you deliberately tricked me to come, and then find an excuse to leave, so that your father intervened to force my country here, forever as your slaves!”

Nisaya denied it, “No! No, I didn’t mean it! You saw it with your own eyes, when I came back, I got into an argument with my father. It was because I said you saved my life and helped me repair my ‘transportation’. So I wanted to repay you by bringing you back to visit the base before…”

Dr. Hibberd grunted coldly and said indignantly, “You were all speaking an alien language, so how was I supposed to know what you were saying!”

Nisaia seemed to feel infinite aggrieved, her voice a little whimpering: “You completely misunderstood my intention, I brought you back to the base, not only for you to visit, but also want to use our planet’s high level of science and technology, to fulfill your heart’s desire.”

Dr. Hibbard asked in a daze, “My wish?”

Nisaya raised her head and said, “Didn’t you tell me that you were working on a ‘meme camera’?”

Dr. Hibberd looked at her in amazement, “You mean, you can help me achieve this ideal?”

Nisaya nodded her head and said: ”Perhaps in a few more decades, with the intelligence of the people of Earth, with technology advancing by leaps and bounds and changing day by day, they will definitely be able to research and develop a camera with this special performance, but I’m afraid that it won’t be easy to do so at the present time.

And the high level of technology on our planet has long since far surpassed that on your Earth. If you are assisted by my father and utilize the equipment here, it would only be as simple as making a new toy to break through the technical difficulties and complete the ‘Memory Camera’ you have conceived.”

Dr. Hibberd, over-excited, fell silent instead. For a moment, it was as if a problem that had been troubling him for a long time had suddenly been solved.

He was absolutely convinced that with the aliens’ high level of technological achievement, there was no doubt that they would be able to break through the technical difficulties that he had never been able to break through. However, when he thought that the price he had to pay was that he had to stay in this secret base forever, and even return to another planet with them one day, he could not help but hesitate, and in fact, he also understood that it was impossible for them to let him leave this place alive.

For a fanatic of scientific research, there is nothing more exciting than realizing an ideal, even if it must come at any price, and many have even given their lives.

Take the fanatics who want to invent airplanes as an example, are they not betting their lives on their “test flights”? If they could not “fly”, they fell to their deaths. I do not know how many people have lost their lives because of this.

With no other choice, Hibbard finally made a snap decision and resolved to stay at the secret base.

Nisaya was overjoyed at his decision and couldn’t wait to go and tell her father.

And so, in the society of the Earthlings, Dr. Hibberd suddenly disappeared.

His family came from Balsay and, together with the local police and a group of residents who volunteered, launched a search, and beyond the dense forest on the mountain side they found Dr. Hibberd’s rented minivan, and, deeper into the narrow valley, they also found that the stretcher had been dragged along leaving a clear trail of rainwater trails that stretched for four or five miles. The stretcher had been dismantled and dumped in the valley.

Searching further up the hillside, a large number of branches covering the “vehicle” were found in front of the dense forest, as well as dead trees and scorched rocks caused by the nearby jet flames, but nothing else.

The search operation continued for three consecutive days and still no sign of Dr. Hibbard was found, so the police had to declare that they gave up and closed the case by listing him as a missing person record.

In fact, even searching the entire Black Forest Mountain would not have yielded anything, and by this time Dr. Hibbard would have been deep in the Alps.

The Alps is the largest mountain range in Central Europe, including Switzerland, France, Austria and Italy, divided into East, West and Central, especially the highest peak of Mont Blanc, with an elevation of more than 15,700 meters, year-round snow, and huge lakes and glaciers, the scenery for the whole of Europe’s top.

The team of young men and women from West Germany mysteriously disappeared on the way to the summit of Bermondsey Brown. After the incident, several search and rescue teams entered the mountain, but they all returned without success. Later, Munich sent a military helicopter to assist in the aerial search, but the missing team was not found, and even the helicopter did not return. (The helicopter was used in the raid on Gundam on top of the mountain.) Dr. Hibberd stayed at the secret base and worked on his “Memory Camera” with the help of the base host.

As a result of spending time together, he and Nisaya, a man and a woman from two different planets, actually fell in love over time and fell in love with each other. With the consent of the host of the base, they were married in a simple and solemn ceremony in the large circular cabin of the “UFO”.

At the wedding, Dr. Hibbard meets the other Earthlings (the young men and women of that missing mountaineering team) for the first time.

The young men and women were treated no differently than Dr. Hibbard, and were assigned the job of refining “uranium.”

Ore, divided into two shifts, working day and night in the bilge, is tantamount to hard labor, and the price is only three capsules of “space food” per day to maintain life and strength.

Dr. Hibbard did not enjoy special treatment when it came to food; he had to get used to the alien way of life, like everyone else. At the same time, he got used to Nisaya’s face: bald, one-eyed and white as plaster.

Soon after their marriage, Nisaya became pregnant and gave birth to their love child, Joanie, a “normal” Earthling, at full term.

It was not until two years later that Dr. Hibbard’s dream came true and he completed his “Billion Dollar Camera”.

At the beginning, we could only let Nisaya hold Joanie, make some movements for the camera, and then leave. Dr. Hibbard operated the “Memory Camera”, pointing the camera at the empty scene, “remembering” the actions of the mother and daughter into an image, so that the picture was presented in front of the eyes, but it was static.

Dr. Hibbard was overjoyed by this achievement, as it confirmed the validity of his theory. After continuous research and improvement, the image was transformed from static to active, and the duration of the “memory” gradually lengthened from a few seconds to minutes or hours…

Three years later, the performance of the “reminiscence camera” has been able to “hunt down” the scenes of a few years ago out of thin air, and even videotape the scene of the day he was escorted to meet with the host of the base, and reproduce it with a specially designed projector.

Dr. Hibberd’s vision is finally realized, but the price he pays is to be forever “naturalized” as an alien, never to return to the world to which he belongs.

During an unintentional videotaping session, he captured a scene that made him realize that the 20-odd captured West German young men and women had been “brainwashed” with special radio waves and had a tiny electric crystal installed in their brains, so that their thoughts and actions were completely controlled by the aliens’ remote control by radio waves. These remote-controlled young men and women are often sent out to carry out the tasks entrusted to them, and they are absolutely obedient and complete them successfully.

In the following ten years, Dr. Hibberd’s continuous efforts to improve the performance of the “Memory Camera” has been increasingly improved. He secretly recorded all the secrets of the UFO, including the sex scenes between male and female aliens.

Because he had long been “naturalized” as an alien and had not been restricted in his movements for more than a decade, he was able to record many precious footages. However, in the process of filming, he has always been in a semi-public, semi-secret situation. That is to say, he concealed part of the truth from the base host, and did not tell the “Memory Camera” has such amazing performance.

Unexpectedly, his secret was finally discovered by the host of the base, forcing him to destroy the “Memory Camera” and all the recorded negatives. Dr. Hibberd could not disobey the order, but he disobeyed the order and secretly hid the design blueprints and all the filming negatives on a “microchip” using the highly advanced technological equipment readily available on the “UFO”.

Just then, the base hosts receive orders from the alien leader to return all to their planet after the last of the uranium ore has been refined.

It was a secret order, and even the person in charge of receiving the message could not decipher the code, but Hibbard learned it from Nyssaiah. The idea of “escape” suddenly came to him.

Dr. Hibberd had planned to escape with his wife and daughter, but he was afraid that Nisaya would object (which was inevitable, as she couldn’t possibly want to stay on Earth and be seen as a “monster”). Instead, he was in the wrong place. He had no choice but to abandon them.

On a snowy and stormy night, he left a long letter for Nisaya, secretly boarded a “vehicle” parked in the cave, and drove it out of the base when the guards weren’t expecting him…
