Chapter 6: The Hero in Disguise
Lying on his back on the cold slate of the street, Alvin now wanted to sit at home and have a sumptuous dinner with Lisa, rather than be hunted down as a mentally ill and dangerous person.
However, he always felt that it was a responsibility, a fate, and that it was his responsibility to tell the world what he had discovered.
The throbbing above his head was still there, and he looked at the sky where the burning starship should be, but it was pitch black, and there never seemed to be any point of light.
This discovery made his pupils shrink, could it be his hallucination?!
That mysterious throbbing clearly points in one direction in the darkness!
Alwin's breathing slowed gradually, and the starlight suddenly shone brightly, and the flickering points of light reappeared.
The point of light gradually zoomed in, and the frequency gradually slowed down, and finally the picture was frozen on the starship in the deep sky with a strong flame of light spewing from its tail.
The burning fleet seemed to have completed its acceleration, and the light in the tail began to converge, and the throbbing in Elwin's heart subsided at the same time.
After that, they will become invisible again until they put a cannon on a human's face, i.e., perform a close deceleration.
He didn't expect the aliens to kindly ask the earthlings if they had lunch?
But at that time, he was probably already in a mental hospital for many days, maybe he was used to living with a group of innocent people, and then he would be welcomed out of the hospital, and he would be desperate with everyone in infinite apologies and remorse?
That's a great future!
Alvin wanted to look away from the sky, as the bright starlight acted as a hypnotic agent to put him to sleep.
A flickering point of light in the sky that was moving slowly attracted Elwin's attention, and Elwin's vision shifted, and an artificial satellite appeared in front of Elwin's eyes.
Now he finally knew why Lisa thought he was crazy, but it seemed to be the world that was crazy.
It's impossible for your own telescope to see an alien battleship at least a light-year away!
It's his own eyes, which have the ability to constantly magnify, and at the same time transcend the limitations of time and space, is it that he has mutated?
It doesn't seem that simple.
But Alvin was certain that the satellite that caught his attention had scanned his face and sent target matching and location information to every nearby police officer's receiving device.
Time is running out, and you have to enter the Astronomical Observatory!
Alvin struggled to get up from the ground, since the front was inaccessible, then from the side, he had been working here for many years, and even knew how many windows there were in the women's bathroom.
He had to climb up to three floors from the side, and then there was a window, very close to his destination, only a corridor away, and the most important thing was that the internal security window there was broken, after all, he wouldn't break steel bars with his bare hands.
Alvin dropped his coat on the floor, rolled up his sleeves, and grabbed the bulging edge of the window with both hands as he slid on.
The structural height of each floor of the astronomical exploration center is much higher than that of residential buildings, which also makes the spacing between the places where you can settle down is very large, and when you climb one floor high, you can't even reach the beams on the second floor.
Alwin's gaze stayed on the sewer pipe leading to the roof, maybe he could transform into Batman or Spider, but it seems that there is no play, so let's be a pipe man!
Alvin jumped up, his limbs clung to the sewer pipe and squirmed upwards a little, instead of sliding down as he imagined, he felt that his body was very relaxed, did he really have the talent of a pipe man?
"Hey, I've found Alwin, he's lying on the second floor sewer!"
There were a few shouts from downstairs, and several police officers turned on their phones to bring their own lights, and several circles of light overlapped on Alwin.
"Elwin, please cooperate with our work, come down immediately!"
Alwin was very anxious when he saw the police gradually gathering below, and the speed of the climb gradually increased, and he soon reached the height of the third floor, and he only needed to jump and stand on the windowsill of the third floor to enter smoothly.
The policeman seemed to understand his intentions and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly bring the cushion air cushion and prepare the anesthetic firearm!" ”
The policemen gathered below aimed the infrared crosshair of the tranquilizer gun at Alwin, and several firefighters hurriedly began to set up the cushioning air.
Well, at least you can't fall to death......
There was no time, and Alvin gritted his teeth, and his body flew out sideways, and the exclamations of the crowd of onlookers and the rapid shouts of the police could be heard below.
"Snap" Alvin grabbed the windowsill with both hands, obviously the jump was a failure, but his reflexes far exceeded his previous ability to grab the three-story windowsill with both hands at the moment of falling.
"Quick, quick! Align the position of the cushion cushion! ”
Alvin lifted his body with his arms, which was impossible before, but he shouldn't dwell on it now, and he breathed a sigh of relief as his feet stood on the windowsill.
"Aim, shoot!"
Alwin struggled to kick the perfunctory burglar railing, but a nail caught his collar and the anesthetic needle rubbed against his back, and he took off his shirt and rolled into the inner hallway of the third floor, while his shirt fluttered in the wind outside the window.
"Damn! Where's the guy in the building, catch him! ”
"Report to the captain, someone has already gone, but they haven't reached the designated floor yet."
"Remember, Alvin has already broken into an important national facility, and if he is found to have made some dangerous intentions, he will be killed directly!"
"Alright, sir, the order has been given."
These conversations reached Elwin's ears without leaks, and a cold sweat flowed down his back, and now his life was in question, and the only hope had to be grasped.
Footsteps downstairs were getting louder and louder, and as they approached, Alvin quickly entered the code for the door to the main control room to open the lock, and then reflexively closed the door.
Damn the coded door, this door can't stop the police at all, and the equipment in the main control room can't be moved to block the door, so you have to use the last resort!
Alvin took his pants off and twisted them into a rope that was tightly wrapped around the handles, perhaps for a moment's notice.
"Start the auto-alignment procedure for the space telescope."
"I'm sorry sir, but you don't have enough authority to give orders."
Oh, no! It seems that it can only be done manually.
Alvin quickly ran to the computer and called up the control program of the space telescope, the password was not changed, and Alvin Shunlin entered.
The throbbing in Alwin's mind gave him a sense of direction that was quickly fading, but he could still tell the general direction.
An observation satellite in space slowly adjusts its position, moving its camera towards a void.
The "bang, bang" gate was repeatedly slammed by the police from the outside, but the inner handle was tightly entangled by pants, and several people couldn't break it open.
"The door is tied from the inside, bring the cutter!"
Hurry up! Hurry up! Alvin stared at the images from the satellite, sweating in his palms.
It's a little bit, it's a little bit! All right! However, there is no trace of the appearance of the fleet on the screen.
"Buzz" a cutter deep into the crack of the door, and the door is about to open!
The multiplier is too small, zoom in, zoom in! Alvin knocked the operation interface, the multiplier of the telescope on the satellite was constantly rising, and some faint points of light appeared on the screen, which was the alien fleet, but it was not enough.
The multiplier was rising, and he needed sharper images.
The dense flickering points of light representing the alien fleet were successfully captured by the satellite, and the picture was played on the large projection in the general command room, and the telescope also reached its limit at this time.
Alvin let out a sigh of relief, the satellite was still so bad that he could only see a tiny image, which was a little disappointed, but it was enough.
"Bump!" The door was kicked open, and several police officers pointed their pistols at Alwin, who was standing in front of the large projection in only his shorts, and had already raised his hands.
"Look, you should all thank me!"
Alvin pointed to everything on the big screen, his gaze steady and determined.
The police were a little dazed and at a loss, they didn't understand what was on the screen, so they simply reported the situation to their superiors.
Soon, a large crowd of people rushed outside the door, most of them with fresh faces, and some former colleagues who rushed to hear the news, oh, his own boss was among them, and his red and swollen nose was only half drugged.
"This ...... How could it be ......?"
"It can't be made by a computer, right?"
There was a lot of talk in the control room, but it had nothing to do with Alwin, he had fulfilled his duty, or mission.
"Papa~" Alvin knocked three times on the table, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then cleared his throat and said: "Ahem, cough, please everyone, who borrowed me a pair of pants to wear, I'm going home, Lisa is waiting for me to go home for dinner!" ”
"Elwin!" A figure popped out of the crowd, and Alvin immediately recognized it as Lisa, who embraced his wife into his arms with open arms.
"It's okay, let's go home!" Alvin wiped tears from Lisa's eyes and whispered.
"Don't you blame me?"
"Of course it's weird, so you come to my room tonight."
The atmosphere was very eerie at one point, and then a crowd of reporters swarmed in, and all kinds of drones buzzed around the control room, even the flies could be annoyed.
Alwin's old face turned red instantly, and he ran up to his boss and ripped off his coat before he was noticing, and then tied his sleeves around his waist.
"Thank you!"
Alvin waved his hand and prepared to go out of the door with Lisa, but before he had taken two steps, his legs suddenly went limp, and he collapsed in Lisa's arms.
After a while, even snoring sounded, and a group of medical staff with beads of sweat on their heads gathered around in embarrassment.
