Chapter 106: The Time Machine
This middle-aged man with a large shoulder, round waist, long brown shawl hair, and a yellow beard is named Jeffrey Price.
Lu Fei got into the Dodge, and Jeffrey Price drove straight to downtown New York.
The Dodge stopped in front of a shop called "Lost Money".
"This is your home?" Lu Fei asked.
"This is my shop." Jeffrey Price said, "My home is my store, and my store is my home." ”
Lu Fei and Jeffrey Price got out of the car and walked into the small shop called "No Return Electric Store", where Jeffrey Price hung up a sign stating that it was closed and locked the door from the inside.
As Jeffrey Price puts it, the Lost Dollar Appliance is both his shop and his home.
Inside a door inside the Lost Appliance is Jeffrey Price's residence, which is a mess of tools in addition to a dirty single bed.
These tools are not ordinary tools, but metal props that are so large or small that Lu Fei can't see outside at all, and they can't be named.
No one but Jeffrey Price knew the usefulness or value of these metal props.
"Your home is like a kennel full of scrap metal." Lu Fei said very sincerely.
"Dude, these props aren't scrap metal." Jeffrey Price retorted, "It's all my invention." ”
"Oh?" Lu Fei said, "What's the use of these inventions of yours?" ”
"You'll find out in a moment." Jeffrey Price said.
"Didn't you say that my friend J fell into your well?" Lu Fei said, "I don't seem to have seen a well in your house?" ”
"It's just that you didn't see it." "It's inside." ”
Jeffrey Price opened a curtain as he spoke, only to see a well in the ground inside the curtain.
This is a dry well without water, Lu Fei picked up the flashlight next to the well and shone it, the light of the flashlight failed to reach the bottom of the well, and the dry well was at least dozens of meters deep.
"You dug this well?" Lu Fei dropped the flashlight and said.
"Dude, you're so discerning, you really deserve two black clothes like this." Jeffrey Price laughed, "This dry well is my masterpiece." ”
"It's the heart of New York." Lu Fei couldn't describe Jeffrey Price's behavior in words, "You opened a bloodless electrical appliance store in the center of New York, and you dug a dry well at least 30 meters deep in the bloodless electrical store, your behavior is either crazy or perverted." ”
If Lu Fei was still a New York police officer, he would definitely arrest Jeffrey Price immediately.
"HI buddy, I'm just working on my invention." Jeffrey Price explained, "From the ground to the ground, invention has no boundaries, and to make an invention you have to sacrifice and pay, how can I manage so much, the resources are limited, and you earthlings always have too many rules." ”
"We earthlings? ......" Lu Fei pointed at his tongue and didn't say any more, he had already gotten the result he wanted.
I saw Jeffrey Price suddenly twist his head with both hands, and then the unthinkable happened.
Jeffrey Price's head was screwed off like a bottle cap.
Then a small, green turtle-like head the size of a fist emerged from his neck.
"That's right, it's the most earthlings, and I can dig holes in the ground in my hometown of Jeffrey." Jeffrey Price dissatisfied.
"Then why don't you go back to your hometown of Jeffrey and dig a hole?" Lu Fei almost didn't get out of his words, and the owner of this bloody electrical store, Jeffrey Price, turned out to be an alien.
"That's not the time when my father took me to dig a hole too deep, we wanted to go back to the past of the Jeffrey era to pan for gold, but the time machine suddenly malfunctioned, and accidentally traveled to your earth, our Jeffrey planet is too far away from the earth, I haven't found a way to go back until now." Jeffrey Price explained, "However, the time machine invented by my father is very compatible and can be used on Earth, and the Earth is not as bad as I thought, so I stayed, while mass designing and improving the time machine left by my father, while waiting for my father to be released from the lunar prison, and one day my father and I will return to Jeffrey." ”
"Lunar prison?" Lu Fei was taken aback, "So your father is locked up in a lunar prison?" ”
"That's right." Jeffrey Price said, "Since my father and I found out that the time machine can also be used on the earth, we have started the business of renting a time machine to go back to the past, of course, there are too many rules on your earth, this business we generally only do with approved aliens and black detectives, but there are exceptions to everything, there was a black detective named U who used the time machine to go back to April 14, 1865, and assassinate President Abraham Lincoln, who had just ended the civil war at that time. This incident caused a great sensation and completely rewrote American history, in fact, the previous history of the United States was not what it is now, in real history, President Abraham Lincoln did not die of assassination, but died of natural causes, he lived to be one hundred and eleven years old, and there are even rumors that he has become a vampire, it is because of these rumors that the Russian director Timo Becrumanto made President Abraham Lincoln's vampire story into a movie called "Vampire Hunter", And my father was arrested by the black detectives and imprisoned in the lunar prison because of the mistakes committed on Earth by the time machine's misrental incident. ”
"You found me at the door of MIB this time, is it also related to the time machine?" Lu Fei had already faintly sensed something and asked.
"That's right." Jeffrey Price said, "Since my father's mistake, the rental of the time machine has been more closely monitored by the black detectives, and for a while it has even been banned, and the time machine cannot be rented from any aliens, including the black police detectives, without a special approval order from the MIB, and it cannot be mass-produced, but yesterday afternoon, a ghost borrowed a time machine from me. ”
"Ghosts?" Lu Fei frowned, and the key person of this plane mission, the "ghost", finally appeared.
"Uh...... I'm not sure if she's an earthling, or if she's an alien, but she's dressed as a ghost and has borrowed a time machine from me without special approval from MIB. Jeffrey Price said.
"Borrow?" Lu Fei was obviously able to imagine that the time machine was not loaned out as Jeffrey Price said, "Since you dare to lend the time machine without the special approval of the MIB, you are not afraid that she will go back to the past and kill your ancestors!" Then you cease to exist. ”
"Okay, I admit it's not borrowing, it's violence, coercion, seduction, and snatching." Jeffrey Price spread his palms and said helplessly, "She pointed an advanced Beretta 92F pistol at my head, I think I must be terrible without a head, there is really no way, so I gave it to her, I am also afraid that she will travel back in time and space to commit a crime and change the history of the earth or something, after all, the history of your earth is too easy to be tampered with, so I immediately notified the black detective." ”
"Who in the Black Detective is in charge of the management of the Time Machine?" Lu Fei asked.
"It's J." Jeffrey Price said, "J has embarked on this plane travel in order to hunt down this space-time crime suspect, and before embarking on this plane journey, J made a point of explaining it to me and asked me to pass it on to his new partner D, who said he needed D's help. ”
"That's right, I'm J's new partner D, although my identity is still waiting for J's confirmation to be put into storage." Lu Fei said, "What is the space-time coordinate of J?" What year did he go back to? ”
"It is the year 2050 in the future, the specific time and place are not specified, and it will be freely assigned according to the time machine, because the space-time coordinates of that ghost are also unknown." Jeffrey Price said.
At this point, the mystery of J's disappearance is clear.
In order to hunt down a suspect in space-time crimes, J traveled back to the future 2050 through Jeffrey Price's time machine, and J asked Jeffrey Price, who was present at the time, to tell Lu Fei about the matter before traveling through time and space, J thought that in the future 2050, in this chase for space-time criminals, he needed the help of Lu Fei, a new partner who had not officially joined the black detective.
"Okay, do you still have a time machine in your hands, and I want to go back to the future 2050." Lu Fei said to Jeffrey Price.
