That was only one month remaining for Quinn to be eligible for time traveling. He was so happy and satisfied in Ai's uncle's house.
What about Thomas? What about the Prime Minister?
When the Prime Minister didn't tell Thomas anything, he considered him useless. However, he didn't wanna kill him because he thought Quinn existed in the past. Therefore, he must be connected to that world.
The Prime Minister was the most powerful person in China. Thomas could do the same with what he decided about Mr. John. After controlling his mind, he could control both the past and present.
However, he couldn't be kept in that small house. Anyone could find him easily there.
So, Thomas made a plan by which no one could ever find him, not only in China but in the whole world.
While working with Mr. John, he had learned many formulas. Of course, it was common for future scientists to knew modern formulas. But Thomas also got access to the secret formulas created by Mr. John.
The scientific profession didn't only demand great intellect but also honesty. Therefore, Mr. John was not allowed to tell such special formulas to anyone until they were not used.
There was a big reason behind that. Due to the advanced technologies in the future, hacking someone's brain was also possible. So, only the creator should know the formula.
The negative usage of even a simple formula could destroy the whole world.
Thomas did illegal activities to get access to the secret formulas. Like when Mr. John was working on the project where he had to invent a controller for the mind-reading machine. He stole some formulas. From that, he got the idea of conversion of a mind reader to a mind controller.
Thomas knew the formula of freezing rays. So to create them, he decided to work as a scientist in the largest lab in China.
He really inspired the interviewer when he was invited for the job. He knew many advanced phenomena. He explained all in a way that the interviewer considered him a gem for his company.
Unfortunately, he was not hired. That was the lab in which he had gone with Sam. There, he persuaded one scientist to kidnap Quinn.
The interviewer was that scientist's friend. During an interview, he coincidently entered that office.
He was shocked to see Thomas there and shouted: "You're the one for which I've been searching for a long time. Why did you do all that? I faced such humiliation only because of you".
Thomas became confused to face the situation. Considering that the best choice, he said sorry and escaped from there.
He thought if he worked in a large company, they would ask for his identification or other things. That made him worried because even a small mistake could cause his stay challenging in the past.
He decided that he shouldn't show off his recognition as a scientist. So, he applied for the servant job.
In that way, he could get a little money to pay the rent of that house and eat the necessary food to stay alive. Those were the challenging days of his life.
Instead, he felt his poverty; he was agitated about rays. Moreover, he had to hide the Prime Minister from the whole world.
So, he prepared the freezing rays in the lab and inserted them on the Prime Minister. After freezing, he stored his body in the freezer.
Those frozen rays were to be invented for some useful purpose in the future. For example, when people had too much pain after an operation and went into trauma, they could freeze to get rid of the pain. They were also beneficial to control strange behavior from mental people.
The experiments on those rays were still going on in the future, but it was confirmed that they shouldn't be used in higher amounts with the intention to keep their reaction long. That could be dangerous for the receiver.
The maximum time limits up to which rays could work was 12 months. Therefore, Thomas inserted twice so that the Prime Minister would be stored for two years. He desired to insert thrice, but there was a 98% chance that the Prime Minister could die due to the explosive effects of many chain reactions.
The rays left some changes in the receiver's blood. That made the body unresponsive for 30 years to accept any rays. That was why the rays worked only a single time on one human body. (It didn't matter how many times you inserted them at once)
The five months had passed, but Thomas had not found any way to return to his time. He had invented the time machine. That was why he could create that again.
He was striving for four months to create a time machine, but he couldn't. The reason was he hadn't written the necessary formulas. Moreover, he just owned the status of the time machine's inventor, but Mr. John had fully helped him in that.
He left all challenging processes to Mr. John. So now, when he had to do all that on his own, he felt challenged.
