Tez explosion ke baad poori laboratory dhuaan aur aag se bhar gayi thi.
Building ka aadha hissa gir chuka tha. Bahar khade log ghabra kar peeche hat gaye.
Sabko laga ki andar jo bhi tha, woh ab zinda nahi bacha hoga.
Raat dheere dheere beet gayi.
Subah hone lagi.
Police aur investigation team laboratory ke ruins ko check kar rahi thi.
Har jagah broken machines, glass aur jali hui wires padi thi.
Lekin ek ajeeb baat thi.
Unhe do bodies nahi mili.
Aarav Zinda Tha
Shehar ke dusre kone me, ek chhote se room me Aarav dheere dheere aankhen khol raha tha.
Uska sir dard kar raha tha.
Usse kuch seconds tak samajh hi nahi aaya ki woh kaha hai.
Phir achanak usse sab yaad aaya.
Laboratory… explosion… Dr Mehta…
Aarav turant uth kar baith gaya.
Room me ek table thi aur table par ek USB drive rakhi thi.
Saath me ek chhota sa note tha.
Note me likha tha:
"Sach ko duniya tak pahunchana tumhari zimmedari hai."
Aarav samajh gaya.
Yeh note Dr Karan Mehta ne hi chhoda hoga.
Usne turant laptop khola aur USB drive lagayi.
Laptop ki screen par dozens of files open ho gayi.
Woh sab Dr Mehta ki research files thi.
Unme brain control technology ka pura data tha.
Lekin ek file alag thi.
Uska naam tha:
Project Alpha
Aarav ne file open ki.
File me likha tha:
"Project Alpha ek advanced experiment hai jisme human brain signals ko remotely control kiya ja sakta hai."
Aarav shock ho gaya.
Agar yeh technology kisi galat insaan ke haath me chali gayi, to duniya ke logon ko control kiya ja sakta tha.
Tabhi Aarav ke phone par ek unknown message aaya.
Message me sirf ek line thi:
"Tumhe lagta hai experiment khatam ho gaya?"
Aarav ka dil zor se dhadakne laga.
Phir ek aur message aaya.
"Game abhi shuru hua hai."
Aarav turant khidki ke paas gaya aur bahar dekha.
Sadak ke us paar ek black car khadi thi.
Car ke paas ek aadmi khada tha.
Woh seedha Aarav ki taraf dekh raha tha.
Aur dheere se muskura raha tha.
Aarav ka dil ghabra gaya.
"Yeh log mujhe kaise dhundh liye?" usne socha.
Tabhi phone par ek aur message aaya.
"Tumhare paas jo USB hai, woh hume chahiye."
Aarav samajh gaya.
Jo log laboratory par attack karne aaye the, woh ab bhi experiment ke peeche pade hue the.
Aur ab unka target Aarav tha.
Aarav ne turant laptop band kiya aur USB drive pocket me rakh li.
Usne decide kiya ki woh yeh secret duniya tak pahunchayega.
Lekin usse pehle usse bachna hoga.
Kyuki ab yeh sirf ek mystery nahi thi.
Yeh ek dangerous chase ban chuki thi.
Aur kahin na kahin…
Shayad Dr Karan Mehta abhi bhi zinda the.
