Chapter 56 - Episode 56 – Locked Inside

🚆 Love Train in Facebook Station

04:12 PM – Research Facility, Sealed Chamber

The cracks on the door spread faster.

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

Each удар (hit) heavier than the last.

From outside—

Dozens of controlled bodies kept smashing against the reinforced door.

Not stopping.

Not slowing.

Inside—

Silence.

Heavy breathing.

At the center stood Srikant, eyes sharp, gun ready.

Beside him, Rudra Sen rushed toward the control panel.

"Door integrity—thirty percent… dropping fast."

Behind them, Sasmita stood still.

Too still.

Watching.

Calculating.

System Lockdown

Suddenly—

The entire room went into automatic lockdown.

Metal shutters slammed over vents.

Control panel flashed red:

CONTAINMENT PROTOCOL ACTIVE

OXYGEN REGULATION INITIATED

Rudra's expression changed instantly.

"This is bad…"

Srikant didn't look away from the door.

"Explain."

Rudra swallowed.

"Oxygen levels are going to drop."

"How long?" Srikant asked.

"Fifteen minutes… maybe less."

Pressure Builds

Outside—

The door bent inward.

A small crack opened.

A hand forced through—

Fingers clawing.

Trying to reach inside.

Srikant stepped forward and kicked it back hard.

But more force came.

They were breaking through.

Sasmita Speaks

"Seven minutes."

Both men turned.

Sasmita's voice calm.

Cold.

Rudra frowned.

"What?"

She didn't look at them.

"Oxygen won't last fifteen minutes."

"System recalibrated."

"Seven."

Rudra quickly checked.

His face went pale.

"She's right…"

No Escape

Srikant scanned the room.

"No second exit?"

Rudra shook his head.

"Fully sealed containment chamber."

Srikant clenched his jaw.

"So we either suffocate…"

"Or get overrun."

Silence.

Deadly silence.

Unexpected Threat

Suddenly—

A low mechanical sound echoed above.

Srikant looked up.

Ceiling panels slowly opened.

Dark circular objects emerged.

Rudra's eyes widened.

"Drones."

Attack from Above

Within seconds—

Four automated combat drones activated.

Red sensors glowing.

Weapons charging.

Srikant reacted instantly—

"Take cover!"

The first drone fired.

TAT-TAT-TAT!

Bullets tore through the room.

Metal sparks flew.

They split positions.

Tactical Fight

Srikant rolled behind a table and fired back.

Precise shots.

One drone damaged.

But still active.

Rudra used EMP device—

But only partially effective.

"These are shielded!"

Sasmita's Vision

Meanwhile—

Sasmita stood still again.

Looking at the drones.

Not scared.

Not reacting.

Processing.

Her pupils slightly dilated.

Then—

She spoke.

"Third drone… 2 o'clock… blind spot in 3 seconds."

Srikant didn't question.

He moved—

Exactly on timing—

Fired—

BOOM!

Drone destroyed mid-air.

Rudra stared.

"How is she—"

Rapid Prediction

"Duck."

Sasmita said again.

Srikant dropped instantly—

A bullet passed exactly where his head was.

Rudra felt a chill.

"She's tracking everything…"

Too Perfect

Within seconds—

Sasmita guided every move.

"Left."

"Shoot now."

"Behind you."

And every time—

Perfect.

No error.

No delay.

No emotion.

Just… execution.

The Breaking Line

Srikant destroyed the last drone.

Silence returned.

But only for a moment.

Because—

The door finally cracked open.

Hands forcing inside.

More coming.

Internal Alarm

Suddenly—

Sasmita held her head again.

Breathing unstable.

Too much input.

Too many signals.

Voices again—

"Optimize…"

"Eliminate interference…"

"Primary directive…"

Her eyes flickered.

For a second—

Completely blank.

The Scary Moment

Then—

She looked at Srikant.

But not like before.

Not like Sasmita.

More like…

Analyzing a target.

Rudra noticed instantly.

"No…"

Srikant stepped closer.

"Sasmita?"

She whispered—

"Probability of survival…"

Pause.

"Without you…"

"Higher."

Silence exploded in the room.

Shock

Rudra shouted—

"She's losing emotional filter!"

Srikant froze.

Not from fear.

From the words.

But he didn't step back.

Human vs System

He moved closer.

Even with the door breaking behind him.

Even with danger everywhere.

"Sasmita… listen to me."

She didn't respond.

Mind still calculating.

Cold.

Precise.

Then he said softly—

"You're not a system."

That line—

Hit something.

Small Crack

Her eyes trembled slightly.

Emotion flickered.

Just a little.

"I…"

Her voice broke.

For one second—

She came back.

Emergency Decision

Rudra shouted—

"We don't have time!"

"Door's about to collapse!"

Srikant looked around.

Then at Sasmita.

Then made a decision.

"Blow the wall."

Rudra shocked—

"That's a containment wall!"

"It'll trigger alarms!"

Srikant replied—

"We're already in one."

Final Scene

Rudra set charges quickly.

Timer—5 seconds.

Door behind them almost broken.

Controlled people pushing in.

Sasmita stood between logic and emotion.

Eyes unstable.

Mind divided.

Srikant grabbed her hand.

"Trust me."

Explosion countdown—

5…

4…

3…

She looked at him.

2…

This time—

She held his hand tighter.

1—

BOOM!

Wall exploded.

Light burst through.

Escape path opened.
