The men were afraid to hear those strange voices. They couldn't predict the exact location. Finally, the activating alarm rang when they didn't notice the time machine standing before them for five minutes.
According to the activating alarm, when the user didn't respond after five minutes of placing an order, the time machine dropped a mild heated red light on him to get attention.
It wasn't any challenging task to cancel the order. But those men who were completely unknown to the time machine didn't know anything like that.
Within no time, people here and there made a large crowd near the machine.
Some were amazed to see that unique machine, while some were so pleased. However, even some were feared due to the strange voices constantly coming from the time machine.
Some people, being smart, tried to control the time machine but failed. Some were feared by the red light, while some were pushed by the wings of the machine. The traffic police even tried their best to control that but totally failed.
As the media waited eagerly to spread shocking news, it reached there in no time. That was the beginning of a new story in China.
That news in different forms was released on different channels.
"The unknown flying machine is freely wandering on China streets. We can't say what it is, but we can predict it as another thread from Aliens."
"Scientists have developed an attractive machine which is surprising everyone with its surprising behavior. But don't worry. We are trying our best to find its owner".
"The machine with various rays, clocks, and stored energy has been seen on the China roads. Stay home, stay safe because this machine can even cause unrecoverable injury".
Everything happened so rapidly that none of the scientists working for the time machine didn't hear the news when it was spreading like wildfire throughout the whole country.
Finally, one of them, while scrolling Instagram, read a post related to that. He was shocked to see that the whole country was viewing his devastation.
He instantly informed his fellows so they could find any solution. So, all of them gathered in the lab, and the conversation began.
"What's happening? Our effort for months is getting wasted on the roads."
"We should inform all of this to Sir Thomas. It's not our headache."
"What! You think Sir Thomas didn't know anything about this. Not possible. He knows everything. He is hiding from us, so he'll not have to pay us for our efforts".
"What if he will return and ask us for his machine?"
"We'll clearly say: "We are not responsible for anything. It's your fault that you didn't return".
The conversation went on for a long time. In the end, they decided that if Thomas returned, they would try to convince him. If he wasn't convinced, they would fight against him to get their charges.
Spies were still caring for Thomas. They were spending days and nights with himself to be sympathetic. Not only for their own benefit but also due to humanity.
They were also aware of that news. During general discussions with Thomas, one spy said: "Sir, when I was on the way to the hospital. I saw a strange machine with wings. It has become so famous. I feel so lucky that I have direct eye contact with that".
Thomas, who was relaxingly lying on the bed, was astounded at once due to the layer of shock inside his body. That was like the spy was explaining the structure of Thomas's machine in front of him.
Within those days, Thomas had become so close to spies. But he couldn't expose the secret of the time machine in front of them. So he inquired more to get every detail to confirm if that was his machine or not; moreover, if that was his machine, then in which condition it was.
"Are there any red rays falling from it?"
Spy was shocked at once to hear that because he thought how Thomas knew anything belonged to that.
"Yes, sir, the red rays were mildly hot."
Just after listening to that, Thomas got down from the bed. As he was deprived of self-controlling ability, he got out of mind. He thought he should take the time machine into control through his advanced gadgets before it got into any trouble or had any damages.
The spies asked multiple times why he was doing that, but he was answerless. Finally, he ran out of the room. Spies were following him at their full speed. It seemed like they were trying to catch any escaped mental person.
Somehow, Thomas collided with the doctor while running. That was the one examining him since he was admitted to the hospital.
The scene wasn't surprising for the doctor. Observing Thomas's behavior, he could expect anything like that from him. He very well remembered that when Thomas was admitted to the hospital, his spies told him that he was mentally ill.
On that day, Thomas had to bear the result of that lie. First, the doctor tried to convince Thomas to stay, but he was constantly striving to escape. Thomas thought he would never have to return to the hospital, so it didn't matter how strange behavior he showed there.
So, he pushed the doctor and ran away. The doctor instantly called the security. As Thomas was about to go downstairs, security caught him. They grabbed him like he had a mental health condition.
They forcefully took him towards the doctor and tiringly said: "Sir, it's dangerous to keep this mental patient among mentally normal patients. He can hurt anyone anytime. We should take him to the mental asylum and give him electric shocks".
