Chapter 22: UFOs?

Leaving the Le MΓ©ridien, Helenko walked down the street in a daze. He should have thought about his next move, but he was depressed and distracted. He walked aimlessly on the street for more than ten minutes when his phone rang.

Helenko glanced at the caller ID and was slightly stunned. It turned out to be Lupin who called. Escaping from another dimension was yesterday, and then Lupin deliberately offered to leave mobile phone numbers with Hellenko, and called today, apparently thinking about something to find him before.

Helenko hesitated for a few seconds before picking up the phone: "Hey, Lupin?" ”

"Yes."

"What are you looking for me to do?"

"I remember you said in another dimension that we should work together - does that still work?" Lupin asked.

Helenko couldn't guess Lupin's intentions, and followed his meaning and said, "Of course." ”

"That's great, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

"What's the busy?"

"It's just a small favor for you, but it's a very important thing for me. I can't tell you on the phone, but if you're free right now, how about I come to you? ”

"Yes." Helenko looked left and right and said, "I'm now on Zijing Road in the Southern New District, there is a Liangmuyuan Cafe here, I'll wait for you inside." ”

"Okay. I'll be there in twenty minutes. ”

Helenko hung up the phone, stood still and thought for a few minutes, and walked into the Liangmuyuan cafΓ© next to it. It's 2:40 p.m., and it's not yet time for afternoon tea, so it's deserted. Helenko chose the innermost seat and sat down, and ordered a pot of 'flower' fruit tea.

More than ten minutes later, Lupin arrived, and he could see that he was very anxious. He sat down on the couch opposite Helenko, unbuttoned his shirt, and said, "It's so hot outside." ”

"You ran out to see me in such a hot spot, there must be something important." Helenko poured Lupin a cup of fruit tea, "Don't worry, let's drink some water first." ”

"Thank you." Lupin picked up the 'fine' teacup, drank it all, and poured himself two cups of tea in succession.

Helenko laughed, "You're not going to be locked up in another dimension again, are you?" So thirsty. ”

Although it was a joke, Lupin couldn't laugh. "Don't talk about it again, if I am imprisoned in another dimension, I will not be able to get out alive."

"It's the same for everyone." "Last time we were lucky, and the cooperation between the two of us really had the desired effect," Helenko said. Otherwise, it would not be possible to sit here now. ”

Lupin nodded and said, "That's right, this shows that if we work together, we can achieve something that seems impossible." ”

Helenko realized that he was getting to the point, and said, "Lupin, I'll get it up front - whatever you're going to talk to me about, or try to convince me to do something, don't use superpowers on meβ€”or else it's all about it." ”

"Don't worry, I won't do that." "Honestly, I'm in a superpower state right now, but there's no way around it. You know what I used to be, I wouldn't have been able to communicate properly without using my superpowers. I assure you, though, that I only use it for myself. ”

"You'd better do what you say. I know your superpowers have a hypnotic effect. Khrenko said.

"I promise, don't worry." Lupin reiterated.

"Okay, now let's get down to business. You're looking for me to work with me again, right? ”

"That's right."

"What do you want me to do by enhancing your 'communication skills'?" Helenko asked.

Lupin hesitated for a moment and said, "What I'm going to tell you may make you feel ...... Incredible. ”

"You say that in the hope that I am mentally prepared? Well, I'm done. ”

Lupin raised his head and stared at Helenko, "I want you to enhance my superpowers and let me communicate with aliens." ”

Helenko stared into Lupin's eyes for half a minute. "You can't be serious."

"No, I'm serious." Lupin said with a serious face.

"Communicating with aliens?" Helenko said incredulously, "I think the premise for this to happen is that there really are aliens in the universe." Can you be sure? ”

"Yes, I'm sure." Lupin said firmly.

"Why?"

Lupin didn't want to name his 'girlfriend' Guo Yu. "There was someone close to me who had seen a flying saucer with her own eyes, and she believed that the flying saucer had come to Earth to bring something important."

"It's like a sci-fi plot."

"It's a lot like it, but the only difference is – it's true." "My superpowers can tell if anyone's words are true or false," Lupin said. ”

"Even if that friend of yours is telling the truth, it doesn't prove that aliens and flying saucers really exist." "There are thousands of people around the world who claim to have seen UFOs, but it turns out that the vast majority of people are wrong," Helenko said. ”

"That's rightβ€”'the vast majority.'" Lupin emphasized these words. "This shows that a very small number of people see real flying saucers."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Lupin not to do this, Helenko sighed and said, "Well, there's no point in arguing about this. So, can you at least tell me why you want to communicate with aliens? ”

"Because I'm a UFO fan, and I'm also a sci-fi fan."

"I'm afraid that's not the only reason." Helenko squinted his eyes and said.

In fact, Lupin couldn't figure out why he was so obsessed with it. Before hearing Guo Yu say this, he was not interested in unsolved mysteries such as UFOs and aliens at all. But after learning about this, he was like a demon and couldn't extricate himself. It was as if something was destined to happen - it was his irresistible mission to do this.

After a moment's pause, Lupin said, "I just feel like I have to do this." ”

Helenko gradually felt that something was strange about this, and he became interested in it. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Even if I am willing to help you, there is no guarantee that you will be able to successfully communicate with the aliens. This kind of thing is too 'pumping' to be like, and no one has ever tried it. ”

"I'm sure it'll work." "Come to think of it, we've even been able to transmit messages across space, and it's probably not that hard to communicate with aliens." ”

"However, the object of our 'trans-space' communication is, after all, human." Helenko reminds Lupin of some technological 'sex' problems, "Now you're trying to deal with mysterious aliens. If nothing else, at least the language is incomprehensible. ”

"I believe in my ability – especially when enhanced – to be able to communicate with aliens in a spiritual way without words."

Helenko felt that Lupin had gone a little crazy. People in this state obviously don't listen to any advice. He gave up the dissuasion and said, "Well, I promise you, try it." But how to do it, have you figured it out? ”

"I'm going to summon the saucer to me." Lupin said.

Khrenko suddenly felt a little frightened and snorted. "And then?"

Lupin shrugged his shoulders: "I didn't think about it so much, it depends on the specific situation when the time comes." ”

"You're going to summon flying saucers into the city, on the streets?"

"No, of course not. Aliens don't want to be in broad daylight and be in plain sight. If they wanted to, the UFO mystery would have been a mystery for a long time. ”

"And what do you want to do?"

"Meet at the 'gate' of Fuxi Forest Park at 10 o'clock this evening. It's a suburb, inaccessible and elevated, with a wide field of view, perfect for communicating with aliens. ”

"Tonight?" Helenko was taken aback, and seemed unprepared.

"Please, Helenko." Lu Pingyang begged, "I would never have been able to do it without the help of your abilities." ”

Helenko saw that he couldn't refuse, otherwise Lupin would have been entangled forever. He could only nod in agreement.

However, he was nervous in his heart, as if something unexpected would happen tonight.
