Chapter 2209 Elope
A bunch of new files or new pieces of content appeared in the memory space of the puppet when the chip was connected.
The bigger shock is that the content is of much larger quantity compared to the original content. He made that makeshift projector with the head work and started looking through the contents. If anyone from modern earth saw the interface at that time, they would clearly think of a computer folder.
The files were neatly arranged one after another.
Each file is named with the date and the time duration in which it was recorded. When Virat saw this, he had a gripping fear in his heart. Because he couldn't remember actually recording stuff on those days.
In fact, he never really recorded much using the puppet. He only experimented with it and stayed in the valley. But there are so many recordings. He opened one of them with his shaky finger and saw himself in the video.
The video showed his face along with his curious and somewhat frustrated gaze. It was the time when he was fiddling with the formations near the neck joints of the bird puppet. At that time, its eyes were directly facing him as he held it to his face.
It was recorded at that time.
He moved to a different file.
It was the time, when got a bit tired and dropped one of the puppets that he obtained from one of his peers. He laid down on a stone and looked at the sky muttering some incoherent bullshit. All of it was recorded.
There was also time when he just lazed around and cursed the creator of the puppet.
All of these things, all these incidents that he never even told another soul were all recorded. When he thought of what the actual function of the chip is…
He felt a shiver run down his spine.
He hurriedly took out a few more puppets that he has bought from some of the members of the Viswa Karma Academy, the academy which he was part of.
He dismantled them one by one hurriedly until he found the chip. He attached the chip to the new mechanism that he made with the first puppet and looked through the files. He could see the video records of the time he fiddled with those puppets. He found the record of the time he bought the puppet and there is also the record of the first time the puppet reached the hands of its first ever owner.
Or, with his newfound understanding, it would be better to call it as it's first ever target.
Just like that, he understood the key purpose of the puppet sent by the hub. It was continuous surveillance. Every moment that it was outside, it recorded the videos and it started transmitting the recorded videos to the hub.
That means, the process of him dismantling was also recorded and in an way, the process of him understanding the reason behind it is also recorded.
He felt a bit nervous now.
He doesn't know the exact power of the person behind the hub and now he became the direct enemy that needs to be eliminated.
When his thoughts came to this point, Virat shook his head and muttered out loud.
"What the fuck is wrong with me. This is not the main point. People didn't suspect the puppets much since the start.
All the secrets, meetings, discussions, plans and plots, everything is exposed to the Hub. I need to inform them immediately."
He hurriedly ran out of the valley and entered the administrative area of the academy. At that moment, the Dean of the academy was in a meeting with a few elders. He obtained the news about the chaotic mess in the Olympian academy along with the possible ticket to a special expedition.
At that moment, Virat barged into the room
*BAM*
The Dean also have locked hair and he was not sitting in a chair. Instead, he was seated on a floor with a small sitting table in front of him.
The elders were all sitting in the same way. When they saw a student barging in, they didn't express their dissatisfaction immediately. The most they showed is some slight frown on their foreheads. The dean looked at Virat and asked.
10:10
"What happened, Child? You seem to be in a hurry."
"Dean, you need to see this."
He started explaining the situation….
Meanwhile, back in the Olympian region.
The last few hours became bloody and vicious. Particularly to the students of the Zeus academy. Fourth grade students were dying left and right. Dozens laid headless on the ground. The elders already reacted, but they were unable to catch up to the managers as they used the spatial blink with the equipment given by Sam.
The third graders of Zeus academy were already being targeted by the other academies, so did the second graders.
The first graders, were mostly in the pocket dimension.
It is time.
Stone appeared at the entrance of the Zeus academy. He didn't wear his usual clothes, instead he wore the Zeus academy's uniformed robes as he ran into the academy through the main entrance.
Nobody noticed him or bothered with him as many people ran in and out of the academy at that time. For while, Stone also has been in the back of their minds as the recent crises went beyond the troubles caused by the fights of the first graders.
No one noticed him. After running deeper into the academy and entering a place with relative calm, he opened his wrist band to check a location. A red dot is blinking in there. Luckily, he is not too far away and reached the place in five minutes as he snuck his way through.
He is standing in front of a courtyard. A quiet and a peaceful courtyard, full of greenery and aesthetically pleasing. No one was there outside. Not even a single living soul.
Stone felt his heart beating like crazy. Almost as if it wanted to leap out of his chest.
He entered the courtyard and stood in front of the main door of the house.
He stayed there for a couple of minutes, ready to knock on the door. A million things went through his mind. His childhood to the young age in the mine, the moment he met Jade, the hope she gave him, his despair.
He remembered everything as if it were yesterday. Most of them were bad days. But now, he saw real hope. He gained power that he couldn't even imagine, just because of Sam's grace and he now made him stand in a place that is beyond his dreams.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
He knocked on the door twice.
He could hear the slight ring of the anklets along with the footsteps from beyond that door.
*CLICK*
The knob of the door was undone before it was opened. And… there is nothing but silence. A young woman that looked as pure as snow stood there as she looked at Stone. Her eyes widened and tearing up.
She just started at him while still holding the door with her hand.
She has seen so many times before, but every time same feeling welled up her heart. Like she was looking at him for the first time. The imagine of him slaving away at the mines to the image of him standing there like a dashing hero of the Zeus academy.
Both of them overlapped in her mind.
"What? Do you like my new look so much that forgot how to speak?" Stone spoke in a quivering tone. His eyes were also watery.
*BAM*
The next moment, she leaped into him and hugged him tightly as both of them fell. Stone's back hit the floor loudly, but he didn't show any change of expression. He held her warmly as she snuggled deeper and deeper in to his embrace.
As if she is afraid that Stone will disappear.
"What new look? You look the same to me." She spoke through her muffled voice still tightening her hug.
They stayed like that for around twenty minutes. In complete silence without speaking anything. But Stone had to break the silence.
"Jade, we don't have time. We need to leave."
As soon as he spoke, she flinched.
"How are we going to leave? My father…. The academy wouldn't let me go because of my father. Even if the Dean is not here and my sister is gone, they are too afraid of my father to let me go just like that."
She sat up and looked at him with a worried gaze. He smiled and said.
"Don't worry about it. None of the people at the academy have the luxury to care about you. Just trust me and come with me. I need you to meet somebody."
She held his hand tightly and stood up along with him.
Twenty minutes later. Both of them are in the hub. It is another special area with the space gate that was drawn exclusively for Stone to use.
