Scorpio

Amulya has noticed some shadow behind her, she quickly turns around and she saw nothing. She just didn’t react much but she felt something was going below the ground.

Casey and Amulya walked through the road and saw buildings and a few small houses, they slowly walked inside and it was an empty city but they were lights in houses and she saw everything was running but they were no one there.

Most of them were run by machines, they were robots in shopping counters and most of the machines are automatic, the foods stored in a welding machine had almost everything, whenever food is taken it was replaced.

There was no person visible, it was very calm and the only noise which can be heard is machine screws. There were cleaners on road, round circular discs cleaning everything and moving dustbins which took the trash from the cleaners to the bin dust bins, each specific cleaner had the same number as the dustbin and then the dustbin took it to the other dustbin.

While they were walking a bird pooped on one of the windows of the building and suddenly wipers which were like car wipers came out and cleaned that poop and then were aligned back to the edge of the building from the left of the building and then from the right of the building the same wiper came which was like more like a clean mop and wiped the water from the building.

After seeing all this Amulya was shocked and she turned her head toward Casey and asked, “Wow! This is really cool, what’s happening here!? In 2023, this technology is like at least 50 years advanced from now! It's like we are living in 2070 or something.” Casey tucked her hair behind her ear and told Amulya, “Isn't this place like a dream comes true, everything here is so advanced and there is more to it, if you haven’t noticed WE ARE UNDERGROUND.”

Amulya stopped walking and she started laughing loudly, she looked up at the sky and started laughing, she was laughing as if she saw something unbelievable, she closed her eyes and a tear came from her right eye. She said out, “I don’t know how is behind this but I’m impressed by this bro.”

Meanwhile, Casey was still walking while Amulya was giving her little main character speech to the Man behind this.She quickly caught up with Casey and kept her hands around Casey's Face, with excitement she shouted. “Wow that’s so cool and that means this is an artificial atmosphere and that’s too advanced, I can’t believe…I'm here and this is like a future high-tech city.”

Casey replied to that with a smile, “Yeah…This system is advanced and why would someone get random people here who are not even connected to each other to this place, people who made this have everything, what might be the goal behind us bringing them here? Or is this a rich psychopath’s plan to play with us? These questions are what we need to figure out.”

Amulya asked with a low tone, “What are we supposed to do here? And why are we here?” Casey slowly said, “We are here to play games and go out of here…I will explain it completely, in this level or also known as Manzil, here the lights go off and 1 robot with strong physical strength and with great eyes sight is going to be a denner and he will try to catch us, we need to try to switch off the button behind him to win and for him, he needs to touch as and we are out. All the lights go off and we just hide. The game is called Luka chuppa or also known as Hide and seek.”

Amulya smiled and said, “ Ohhoo…That’s easy but what happens if we were caught.?” Casey leaned in and said with a low tone, “Those robots take us with them to the lift and the lift’s door closes and from there we don’t know what happens. Till now 4 member were taken by the robot”

Amulya replied, “ Wow…That’s something scary and I know we have been walking a long way but where are we going?” Amulya said that with a few food items stuffed in her mouth. Casey mocked her with a sarcastic tone, “I would have told you but you were eating So less I had to wait.”

Amulya with a burger in her mouth, “Sorry…Just tell me now.” Casey, “we all thought it would be nice to stay together and make a plan to defeat that robot so we formed a group called “Scorpio” and I'm one of the 3 main leaders who formed it, The other two are Vikram and Rohit…But we both respect Vikram so he takes the leader role and I take after restoring and locating people and Rohit looks after the foodstuff. Look ahead that building is where everyone lives.”

Amulya gulped the food quickly and said, “ Wow! There are more people like me, that’s so good and I can’t wait to meet them, I wish someone I know might be there.” They both walked towards the building and stood in front of it.

A huge building with Scorpio written on the building, Amulya started counting the number of floors the building had and fell on her head, while getting up she asked Casey, “how many floors it was and why it was so big!!

Casey replied to that saying that it’s where everyone gets their food, water, entertainment, and a room to stay. They both walked in and the door opened, while walking Casey began explain about that place, “ This was one of the best places out there in this whole area, we three scanned the whole city and started making this big map.

She showed a big hand-drawn map of that place at the entrance and besides that, there was a map of the building with the floor and a swimming pool, a gym, a place for sports, Indoor games, Video game arcades, 5 theatre, 50 personal theatres, beauty parlors and hair salons for men, hot springs, food stalls, computer cabins, and 6g internet all over the place… Amulya said with a lot of excitement on her face, “How can this thing be free, and why are we here, it's like heaven…Did I die?”

Casey laughed and said, “ No, Ya didn’t die…Yet.” Then Casey leaned and whispered in Amulya’s Ear, “Don’t you think they are planning something big?”

They both walked inside and they were a few people eating, others were playing and few talking and suddenly everyone bows down and sits on one knee…A guy with a beard comes walking into the room and says in a deep pitched voice, “HI.”
