Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 710 - The Sleetube
...***...
"I know how to do it" said Martin. Breaking the momentary silence enveloped their togetherness. Miles and Cato spontaneously turned to the man who had just spoken and looked at him with a curious face. "How's it?"
"I have one of those tools that I invented a few years ago. A project I did when I was in college. This device is called Sleetube. The tool is a tube large enough to fit one human body. The way it works is also simple and not too risky. We just need to put the human body into it, and the tube will still ensure the condition of the body in its normal state, and the human stored in it will remain alive. Although these humans are stored for tens, hundreds or even thousands of years, but this Sleetube will still effectively control the human body and ensure the body is alive. This tool also allows humans in it to have a longer life span than normal humans."
"Really?" Cato did not believe what he heard. So does Miles, his twin. Martin just nodded his head slowly in response. "And the good news is I made two Sleetubes, and I brought them here."
"Then put them in there. I guess, this would be better than continuing to give them sleeping pills. And again, they won't come to their senses and try to escape again, right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Good!"
"All right, let me handle them. Leave this to me and my brother."
"I'm counting on you!" Cato smiled expectantly.
Miles and Martin leave Cato alone. The guards took Joe and Derek. The two follow Miles and Martin to the room where the Sleetube is.
"So, is this the tube?"
"Yes. We're gonna get them in here."
"You sure this is safe? Has it proved the result."
"You just calm down. Everything has been proven safe. I've tested it, and it's perfect." Martin then approached the existing tube and opened both doors with the access code he had. The door opened, and he immediately asked the guards to put Joe and Derek in there, then asked the guards to leave.
"I never knew you made a machine like this before" Miles commented.
"Of course, because this is one of my secret projects. Actually this is the Sleetube that I have redesigned with a new component. I brought it here and kept it for no reason."
"You mean?" Miles frowned. His twin brother's words sounded strange. Martin only smiled meaningfully before he finally walked up to the tube and tuned it.
The tube door was closed and the lights inside started to light up, they could see Joe and Derek lying unconscious inside. "Explain what you mean!"
Miles asked for an explanation from his twin. Martin got up and looked at his brother, still smiling at him. "This machine can in addition to make people fall asleep for a long time, and prolong their life, but also can reset their brain's work system."
