48 Framed

Chapter 48 Framed The service lift doors opened on the north side of the control room, close to where the stolen works of art were being stored. Two figures were standing opposite the lift, behind the huge desk full of levers, switches, dials and sliders. They looked directly at the group. Ah, there you are, humans," said 67 in their smug, tinny voice. "Perfectly punctual. Alan and I have been expecting you. "ROCKWELL," shouted Peanut. "PUSH THE BUTTON! Now!" Rockwell held aloft the device that Josephine had given him, flicked open the lid with his thumb and pressed the button as hard as he could. Immediately, 67's eyes switched from

第48章 遭人设计 货梯门在控制室北侧打开，这里距离失窃艺术品的存放点很近 两个身影站在电梯对面，堆满操纵杆、开关、刻度盘和滑钮的大桌子后方 他们直勾勾盯着这一行人 "啊，你们可来了，人类"，67号用自鸣得意的沙哑电子音说道 "来得可真准时 我和艾伦等你们很久了" "洛克威尔！" 皮纳特大喊 "快按按钮！" 现在！" 洛克威尔高举约瑟芬交给他的装置，用拇指弹开盖子，拼尽全力按下了按钮 一瞬间，67号的眼睛就从

red to purple, and their pupils turned into a rotating swirl. "DAD, LEO! GRAB ALAN!" The pair ran towards the desk at full speed, leapt over it and dived at the huge henchman, knocking him off his feet. Any hope they had of being able to pin down the massive man soon evaporated, however, as Alan regained his composure and pushed them away with the ease of somebody fending off a couple of over-friendly spaniels. Seconds later, Rockwell and Doodle bravely leapt onto Alan's back as he tried to stand up. The man wrapped his thick sausage fingers around Rockwell's wrist in an attempt to pull him off, which forced the boy to let go of Josephine's device and send it flying across the room. From atop Alan's back, Rockwell saw it clatter to the ground and slide underneath the chair by the desk. At the same time, Leo and Dad each grabbed one of Alan's freckly, tree trunk- sized arms and hung onto them as tightly as they could.

红色变成了紫色，瞳孔也转成了旋转的旋涡 "爸爸，利奥！抓住艾伦！" 两人全速冲向桌子，翻身跃过桌子扑向这个大块头跟班，一下子把他撞倒在地 可没等他俩把这个大块头按住，艾伦就缓过神来，轻轻松松把他俩推开，那架势就像拨开两只过分热情的西班牙猎犬，制住他的希望立马泡汤了 几秒后，艾伦刚要站起来，洛克威尔和杜德尔就勇敢地跳到了他背上 艾伦伸出香肠般粗的手指攥住洛克威尔的手腕，想把他拽下来，逼得洛克威尔松了手，装置也飞出去，掉到了房间另一头 骑在艾伦背上的洛克威尔看着装置哐当掉在地上，滑到了桌边的椅子底下 与此同时，利奥和爸爸一人抓住艾伦那长满雀斑、粗得像树干的胳膊，死死拽住不松手

Woodhouse was right there in the thick of the action too, scurrying up onto the henchman's shoulder and sinking two very sharp incisors into his earlobe. "OUCH!" shouted Alan with tears in his eyes. "That really hurt!" Meanwhile, Peanut, Little-Bit and Mum, armed with the length of watercolour sticky-tape that Peanut had painted before they got into the lift, joined the melee. Mum and

伍德豪斯也冲进混战，飞快爬到这个跟班的肩膀上，两颗锋利的门牙狠狠咬进了他的耳垂 "哎哟！" 艾伦疼得大喊，眼里都飙出了泪 "这也太疼了！" 与此同时，皮纳特、小不点和妈妈也加入了乱斗，她们拿着皮纳特进电梯前涂好的长卷水彩胶带 妈妈和

Peanut each held one end, sticky side out, and circled Alan in opposite directions, sticking his legs together and his arms to the sides of his body in the process. They ran all the way around him three times, pulling the tape tightly as they went. "72, quick!" shouted Dad. "Bind Alan with your cables!" "I'm sorry, I cannot," replied the robot. "I appear to be somewhat incapacitated. Everyone looked at 72, whose eyes had turned purple and were swirling like kaleidoscopes. Of course," said Rockwell. "Josephine's device will affect all of the RAZERs in the room, including 72. They can speak but they can't move!" Don't worry, I've got an idea," said Peanut. "Can you guys hold Alan there for a second?" "We'll try," yelled Dad. Peanut ran over to the paintings that Mr White had stolen, grabbed the Mona Lisa and carefully prised it from its thick, wooden frame. She then ran back and, with Mum's help, wedged the chunky rectangle over Alan's head and shoulders. It was a tight squeeze, but it worked. Alan was completely trapped. There was no way he was escaping now.

皮纳特各握住胶带的一头，让粘面朝外，从不同方向绕着艾伦转，把他的腿粘在一起，胳膊也粘在了身体两侧 她们绕着艾伦整整跑了三圈，跑的时候还把胶带拉得紧紧的 "72号，快！" 爸爸大喊道 "用你的缆绳绑住艾伦！" "对不起，我做不到"，机器人回答道 "我好像没办法动弹了" 所有人都看向72号，它的眼睛也变成了紫色，像万花筒一样转个不停 "当然了"，洛克威尔说 "约瑟芬的装置会影响房间里所有的锐泽机器人，包括72号" "他们能说话但是动不了！" "别担心，我有办法"，皮纳特说 "你们能先按住艾伦几秒钟吗？" "我们尽力！"爸爸大喊 皮纳特跑到怀特先生偷来的画作堆那边，抓起《蒙娜丽莎》，小心地把画从厚重的木画框里取出来 接着她跑回来，在妈妈的帮忙下，把这个厚厚的长方形画框套在了艾伦的头和肩膀上 虽然挤得很紧，但还是成功了 艾伦被彻底困住了 现在他根本不可能逃出去了
